Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Dump gravel, sand, and/or crushed rocks onto your foundation space. Add a polyethylene sheet over top of the gravel layer. Install the wire mesh and rebar over your vapor barrier. Add in your radiant floor heating and drainage pipes. Mix concrete and pour the foundation. Insert anchor bolts before your concrete dries. Wait 7 days before building for curing.

Answer: This is the space between the newly poured foundation walls.  Use a rake to disperse the gravel evenly across the space.  This should be a layer no more than 1 inch thick. If you are using gravel to fill up the foundation and pour a slab on top, then the gravel should be 6 to 8 inches deep. You will also need to use a plate compactor in different directions until the gravel is well compacted. Next, add another 6 to 8 inches of gravel (called lifts) and repeat the compaction until the gravel is 4 to 6 inches from the top of the wall for the slab depth. This will act as a vapor barrier between the soil and the foundation.  This prevents evaporated moisture from rising up into your foundation and causing cracks.  It is best to purchase a custom made polyethylene sheet that is the exact size of your foundation space. The specifications of thickness, width and other factors is dictated in local building code regulations.  The wire mesh will hold your concrete together, and prevent cracking. You can also add in bar chairs which will prop up the wire mesh.  These bars are inserted directly into the plastic sheeting.  You will need one every two to three inches. The drainage pipes are set on the outside edges of your foundation.  If you do not put these in, water can build up underneath your structure and damage your foundation.  Make sure you check whether your building will be using radiant-in-floor heating.  This will need to be installed at this level as well, right above the polyethylene sheet. Make sure that the consistency of your concrete is correct. How to Make Concrete You can use a bull float to smooth over the upper surface of the foundation.  Then use an edger to smooth out the edges.  If there are smaller inconsistencies in the concrete, wait for the concrete to dry slightly.  Then sit on top of a piece of foam (on top of concrete), and use a hand float to work out the smaller details. These bolts can be bought at your nearest hardware store.  Anchor bolts are important because they will secure the building to the foundation slab.  About half of the anchor bolt should stick out of the concrete.  Place these one foot apart from one another, and one foot from the corners. There is no need to wait for your foundation to settle into the ground because you should build on undisturbed soil.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Employ deep breathing. Count to 10—or 20. Practice progressive muscle relaxation. Cultivate positive thoughts Find humor and positive in any situation.

Answer: Deep breathing exercises, which is also called pranayama, can naturally help dissolve tension and help you relax. Do a few deep breathing exercises to help yourself relax and refocus yourself as well as alleviate other symptoms of an adrenaline rush.  Deep breathing can help your body distribute oxygen to your body, which can reduce heart rate and normalize your pulse. It will also help relax tense muscles that may be exacerbating the adrenaline rush.  Inhale and exhale completely and in a balanced manner through your nose. For example, you would inhale for a count of four, hold for two, counts, and then exhale completely to a count of four. You can vary the counts according to your abilities.  To get the most from deep breathing, sit upright, with your shoulders back, feet flat on the ground, and avoid slouching. Put you hands on your belly and practice breathing slowly making the stomach move against the hands. When you exhale, tighten your stomach muscles and breathe out through pursed lips.  Consciously feel the diaphragm move up and down as you breathe. When you are feeling stressed, anxious or having an adrenaline rush, remove yourself from the situation and count to ten. Counting can help your mind to focus on something other than situation.  When you focus on something other than the stressful situation, your body may stop producing adrenaline. If necessary, count to twenty and repeat the procedure as often as you need to. If you notice stress or anxiety triggering a rush of adrenaline, practice relaxing your whole body to bring yourself down. Lie on the ground or sit down and begin clenching and relaxing each muscle in your body. Start with your feet:  Tighten and contract each muscle in your body for five seconds starting at your feet. Then let the muscles slowly ease into deep relaxation. After 10 seconds, tighten your leg muscles for another five seconds and then let them relax.  Repeat this succession until to finish with your head.  Move on to the muscles in your legs. Do the same process for each muscle group, making your way slowly up your body towards your head. . Negativity can exacerbate stress, tension, and anxiety, and may make adrenaline rushes more acute. Framing any situation in a more positive manner may help you overcome and control subsequent adrenaline rushes or panic attacks.  Framing is a behavioral technique that can shape the ways in which you handle specific situations by rendering them positive scenario.  For example, you may find yourself dealing with an angry customer at your job. Imagine that the best possible outcome is making the customer happier by solving the problem. This can help you get through the situation in the most positive manner and may keep you from getting a panic attack.  Another way to use the process of visualizing a positive outcome is by imaging a very peaceful scene, such as a field of flowers, and placing yourself in the scene. You can also try practicing mindfulness. This is the process of recognizing your thinking and how it makes your feel in that moment, without judgement. Most difficult situations can have some positive and humorous moments. Although they may not be immediately clear to you, being able to recognize and laugh at them can help you to relax and avoid adrenaline rushes.  Some studies have demonstrated that positivity can contribute significantly to happiness.  For example, if you fall and cut your elbow, don’t focus on the cut or a tear in your clothing. Instead, laugh at your clumsiness or something else humorous that happened in the situation.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Study your data.

Answer: Expect the water in the tubing to rise when weather is clear, and to fall when it is cloudy or rainy. However, if you keep good records with your barometer, you may see that shifts in pressure also happen when weather doesn't drastically change. Since your water barometer has a ruler, you can also record pressure shifts as exact changes in inches or millimeters. Use this to notice even very slight changes.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid girls who don't want to commit. Avoid girls who are materialistic. Avoid girls who aren't willing to express themselves. Avoid girls who don't value you.

Answer:
If you're looking for a dedicated girlfriend, don't waste time with someone who's uninterested in a committed relationship. A relationship with this type of girl can be fun for a while, but may end in heartbreak when she gets interested in someone else. If your prospective girlfriend seems reluctant to agree to an exclusive relationship or flat out refuses the possibility, look elsewhere. The exception to this rule, of course, is that if neither of you want to commit, you can theoretically have a casual, non-exclusive relationship. Still, approach this possibility with caution - can you truly, honestly stand to see the girl you like with someone else? Some girls, like some guys, don't have the healthiest priorities when it comes to the relative importance of people and things. As a rule, good girlfriends won't watch you go broke trying to please them. While presents, tokens, of affection, and fancy nights out have their place, they shouldn't be a constant requirement to date someone. If the girl you're thinking about dating seems more interested in the things she'll get as a result of being a girlfriend than in actually being a girlfriend, pass on the dating opportunity.  Try to ask yourself questions like "would this person still like me if I couldn't afford to take her out?" and "can we enjoy each others' company without spending any money?" If you're not able to answer "yes" to many of these questions, a relationship with this person may have a material foundation, rather than an emotional one. When it comes to placing material demands on a significant other, the distinction between what's normal and what isn't normal should be obvious. Obviously, special occasions, like birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, etc. are cause for celebration. That old relationship adage "communication is key" - is repeated often, but for good reason. When it comes to girlfriends, you want someone who's willing to be open and honest with you, especially when it comes to any problems than may be affecting her or your relationship as a whole. While it may seem superficially desirable to have a girlfriend who always acts happy, even when she's not, this is actually the last type of person you'll want to date, as negative emotions, if concealed and left to fester, can build into serious problems for your relationship. This is very, very important. Relationships are a two-way street, so it's just as important for you to treat your girlfriend with respect and affection as the reverse is. If the girl you're thinking about dating doesn't seem like she'll be able to make the same investment of time and emotional energy in you as you plan to in her, a relationship is probably not a good idea. Remember, relationships are just as much about you as they are about your partner. Relationships should be opportunities for you to make your (already great) life even better with someone you care for and respect, not just to make your partner happy.
