Summarize the following:
These days, you have a variety of webinar programs to choose from. Select something user-friendly that most distance attendees have installed. Make sure you've chosen software with a video component if the call includes slides. If installed software isn't a realistic option, go with a service that everyone can freely access online. To accommodate attendees without software requirements, make sure the call takes place in a room with a speaker phone. This dial-in option will also be a handy backup if the webinar software fails. Pick three to five potential dates and times of day. Send an email to all participants to gauge their availability for each possibility. Tell anyone who can't make any of the times to let you know as soon as possible.  You can also use online scheduling surveys like Doodle. These tools allow attendees to choose dates and times with the click of a mouse. If you choose this option, don't forget to include the link in the email. If all attendees are in the same time zone, avoid planning calls during lunch breaks, immediately at the beginning of the work day, and or after normal business hours. . Include topics that need to be discussed. Cover any questions or concerns you anticipate from other members. Focus on the positive issues first. Then, address challenges and offer solutions or ideas to overcome any obstacles. If you plan to assign any tasks to certain attendees, discuss it with them before you send out the agenda. The last thing you want to do is catch someone by surprise or give a manager or client incorrect information. Include everything they'll require to log into the call, such as the call-in number and password. Attach a draft of the agenda to the email. Ask that everyone read over it and notify you if they want to add something or revise existing content. Choose the most responsible and attentive physical attendee for this task. Make sure they include the names of everyone present. Have them summarize major points discussed, using the agenda as an outline.  If they have a digital audio recorder or record function on their phone, ask them to use it if no sensitive material will be discussed. Don't skip this step if you're using the record function on the webinar software. Technology can fail when you least expect it. If that happens, you'll have written minutes as a backup. Do this on the day of the call if it's after lunch or the day before a call scheduled in the morning. Use this opportunity to send any reports or documents that will be needed on the call. It's your responsibility to ensure that everyone is on the same page and that everyone has completed their responsibilities before the call. If someone else created these materials, give them credit (or prevent blame from falling on you) by forwarding their message containing the documents.

summary: Pick a convenient conferencing software. Poll your attendees for a convenient time. Write an agenda Email preliminary info to all attendees. Appoint a note-taker. Send a reminder email.

If you have active TB you are infectious. TB is usually active right after the initial infection and at points years later when it resurges. The symptoms of TB are similar to those of some other diseases, so it's important to be evaluated by a doctor to make sure you receive the correct diagnosis. Symptoms of active TB include:  Coughing that lasts at least three weeks Coughing up blood Chest pain Discomfort when breathing or coughing Fever Chills Night sweats where you wake up soaking wet Exhaustion Loss of appetite Weight loss People with TB often go through periods, even years, when the bacteria remain in their bodies but cause no symptoms. Latent TB can resurge into active TB. If you are vulnerable to TB and there is a possibility you were exposed to the bacteria or you are showing symptoms, then it is important you get tested. People who are at a higher risk for carrying latent TB include:  People with suppressed immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS People with diabetes, serious kidney disease, and some forms of cancer People undergoing chemotherapy or taking drugs to prevent their bodies from rejecting transplanted organs People taking certain drugs for rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease and psoriasis IV drug users and smokers Family members and people in close contact with an infected person Healthcare workers who treat people with a high risk People suffering severe malnutrition Children and the elderly People living or working in crowded residential facilities including prisons, immigration centers, nursing homes, or refugee camps People who have traveled or lived in Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia, Russia, Latin America, or the Caribbean Islands When you go for an exam, the doctor will likely listen to your lungs and palpate your lymph nodes to for signs of infection. There are several tests that the doctor may also want you to have. These include:  A skin test. During this test the doctor injects PPD tuberculin under the skin of your forearm. After two to three days the doctor will look at the site to see if you have a bump. If you do, it suggests you may have TB. This test can produce both false positives and false negatives. You may produce a false positive if you have received the bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine against TB. You may give a false negative if you’ve been infected so recently that you have not yet mounted an immune response. A blood test. The blood test is more sensitive and more accurate than the skin test. The doctor will likely order the blood test if there is reason to doubt the results of the skin test. Imaging tests. If your skin test came out positive, the doctor will likely want to check your lungs with an X-ray, a CT scan, or an endoscopy. During an endoscopy, a small camera on a long tube is inserted into your body to allow the doctor to examine the infected area more closely. If the doctor expects that the TB has infected an area of your body beyond the lungs, the doctor may request a CT, MRI, or ultrasound scan of that area too. A biopsy of the infected area. The sample would then be tested for TB bacteria. Sputum tests. The doctor is likely to request a sputum test if the image tests show evidence of an infection. The samples can be used to determine what strains of TB you have. This helps the doctor select the right medications for you. A positive result for TB will be available in one to two days, but it can take up to one to two months for the specific strain to be identified. These results are important for refining a course of treatment for drug-resistant TB. This test is also used to monitor someone with active TB — once you return negative sputum test, then you will be removed from quarantine and no longer be considered infectious.

summary: Go to the doctor if you might have active TB. Get screened if you are vulnerable to latent TB. Undergo tests if your doctor recommends it.

If it helps, you can erase the lines you drew when tracing your photo. Then use a pair of scissors or a blade to cut along the inside rectangle (which you drew in the previous step) and the outside border of your frame. Now you have the foundation for the front of your picture frame! It can be tricky to cut the inside corners, but it’s ok if they don’t look flawless. You’ll be covering them up with fabric anyway! This will serve as the back panel for your frame. Trace the frame, or mark out its dimensions onto another piece of cardboard, and cut it out with scissors.  You can use the same cardboard, but a lighter-weight version would also be fine if you’ve used corrugated cardboard for the front. Or, if you’ve used lightweight cardboard for the front, you can use corrugated cardboard for the back to provide some support. With the wrong side of the fabric facing up, place the front frame piece down onto the fabric. Center it as best you can. If you want your frame to stand up, use a leftover piece of stiff cardboard as the frame stand. Cut a rectangle the same height as your frame, and fold down the top by 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 in (0.64 to 1.27 cm). Then apply glue to this folded piece and stick it onto the back of the frame. Allow the glue to dry completely before standing up your frame.
summary: Cut along the innermost and outermost lines. Cut a second piece of cardboard the same size as the open frame. Place the open frame onto your piece of fabric. Glue a folded piece of cardboard to the back panel as a frame stand.
