INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To reset the battery, you'll actually reset the SMC (System Management Controller) which is a small chip that controls things like your Mac's external lights, responses to button presses, and battery management. Resetting the SMC may improve battery life, fix overheating problems, and speed up your MacBook Pro. There are several symptoms that are directly related to the SMC:  The fans are loud and running at high speed even though the computer isn't hot and is well-ventilated. Indicator lights (battery, backlights, etc.) are not working properly. The MacBook doesn’t respond to pressing the Power button. The computer shuts itself down or goes to sleep unexpectedly. The battery does not charge properly. Click the Apple logo in the upper-left side of the screen. Doing so prompts a drop-down menu. It's at the bottom of the drop-down menu. Your MacBook Pro will shut down. Make sure that the charger is plugged into a wall outlet, then plug the charging end into the port on the right side of your MacBook Pro. In order to reset the SMC, you'll need to hold down the ⌘ Command, ⌥ Option, and ⇧ Shift keys all at the same time while also holding down the "Power" {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/5\/5d\/Windowspower.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/5d\/Windowspower.png\/30px-Windowspower.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":460,"bigWidth":"30","bigHeight":"30","licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>I edited this screenshot of a Windows icon.\n<\/p><p>License: <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_domain\">Public Domain<\/a><br>\n<\/p><\/div>"} button. If your MacBook Pro has a touch bar, the "Power" button is also the Touch ID button. Once you've done so, you can release the keys. Doing so should turn on your Mac, prompting it to begin restarting. Once your Mac finishes restarting, your battery issues should be resolved. If you are still having issues with the battery, you may need to factory reset your MacBook Pro. You will lose any data that you have saved on the MacBook if you do so.

SUMMARY: Understand what resetting the battery will fix. Check the symptoms. Open the Apple menu . Click Shut Down…. Click Shut Down when prompted. Attach your MacBook Pro to a plugged-in charger. Find the SMC reset keys. Press and hold the SMC reset keys for 10 seconds. Press the "Power" button. Verify that the problem has been resolved.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Find several objects and place them directly in front of you. Pick it up, without consciously choosing a hand. This step will likely require several repeats over a period of time to erase accidental bias. Take note of which hand was used more frequently. Try bringing food to your mouth with an eating utensil, alternating using each hand. Make a note of which hand you use to bring food to your mouth most successfully, and if that preference changes depending on which utensils you are using (fork and knife, chopsticks, fork, spoon). Since most utensils do not have a hand-bias and are simple to operate, you will want to repeat this test until a preference is clear. Make sure it is a relatively easy figure to draw, but that still requires some fine motor skills to fill in within the lines. Make a copy of the drawing and color each with a different hand, aiming to stay within the lines.  Make note of which hand you felt the most ease with. Using scissors designed for right or left-handed people will skew your results and you should seek out a proper pair of scissors. Cut shapes such as circles and triangles and squares with each hand and compare. At either a target or a catcher, throw the ball and determine how effective each arm is at aiming and speed. If you have a catcher, when the ball is returned, make note of which hand you catch with. You will want to repeat several tosses to determine your accuracy and speed, as well as which hand works best at catching.

SUMMARY: Pick something up. Use eating utensils. Color a drawing. Cut shapes out of a piece of paper using a non-handed pair of scissors. Have a catch.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Getting a positive result back from an STD test can sometimes be an emotional experience. You may feel embarrassed, frustrated, sad, angry, or ashamed. You may not know what to do next. Having these thoughts is OK. Give yourself time to process your emotions. You don't have to feel bad for having an STD. You're already better off than you were before your test. Now, you know about it and can start getting treatment. Know that you are not alone if you get a positive STD diagnosis. Some STDs are extremely common. For instance, in the U.S., most sexually active men and women will get at least one case of HPV during their life. If you test positive for an STD, you have a responsibility to tell anyone that you've had sex with while you might have had the disease. This can understandably be an awkward experience, but it's a necessary one. By telling these people, you give them the chance to get tested themselves. If they have the disease, they can start treatment as soon as possible. If you test positive for a serious STD, like HIV, notifying past partners can be life-saving. Talk to your doctor about the results of your STD test. Usually, you will have the chance to do this when you receive your test results. A positive test will usually come with instructions to schedule an appointment. The quicker you start receiving treatment, the better the process of recovery is likely to be.  Some STDs caused by bacteria, yeast, and parasites have "cures" — that is, medicines that can make the disease go away forever. For instance, gonorrhea can usually be cured with antibiotics. However, STDs caused by viruses don't have cures. In some cases, you must wait for your body to fight off the virus on its own. In others, the virus stays with you for life, though treatment can make symptoms disappear and make it much harder to spread the virus. If you have an STD, it's your responsibility to notify any sexual partners prior to sex. Certain types of protection can help prevent the infection from spreading through sex.  The easiest, most widely-available means of protecting against STDs is by using condoms. A male or female condom will greatly reduce the risk of giving your sexual partner an STD. However, this is only if it completely covers the infected area. Even condoms are not 100% effective, however, so it's important for both partners to make an informed decision before having sex.  See our condom article for more information.

SUMMARY:
Give yourself time to deal with your emotions. Share the results with your sexual partner(s). Begin a doctor-recommended treatment plan. Prevent the spread of your STD if you have one.
