Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take emergency contraception as soon as possible. Talk to your pharmacist about indications. Watch for side effects. Repeat the dosage if you throw up. Avoid using multiple forms of emergency contraception. Use backup contraception.

Answer: If you’ve had unprotected sex and are concerned that you could get pregnant, take the morning after pill, which is also called emergency contraception, as soon as you can. In most cases, you can take the morning after pill up to five days following unprotected sex.  Be aware that many states require women under the age of 17 to get a prescription for morning after pills.  You can take the pill anytime during your menstrual cycle.  The morning after pill is a safe and effective way to prevent pregnancy. However, you shouldn’t use this as a regular form of birth control. While everyone can use over the counter emergency contraception, it may not be as effective for every woman and some may be allergic to it. Make sure to read and understand any indications or contraindications that come along with emergency contraception.  The morning after pill may be less effective for women with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 25.  Certain medications such as barbiturates, or other supplements such as St. John’s Wort may decrease the effectiveness of the morning after pill.  If you are allergic to any component of the morning after pill, it may be less effective. If you use any kind of morning after pill, you may experience some side effects. These usually subside after a few days.  You may experience nausea or vomiting after taking the morning after pill.  You may feel tired, dizzy, or have a headache after taking the morning after pill.  You may have breast tenderness, and lower abdominal pain or cramping after taking the morning after pill.  You may experience bleeding between periods or heavier menstrual cramps after taking the morning after pill.  Contact your doctor immediately if you experience bleeding or spotting that lasts longer than a week or if you have severe abdominal pain 3-5 weeks after taking the morning after pill. This can help rule out an ectopic pregnancy. One of the most common side effects of using emergency contraception is nausea. If you vomit within an hour of taking the pills, repeat the dosage.  Don’t repeat the entire process, just the dosage you threw up.  You may need to take an anti-nausea medication to help your stomach. Only use one form of emergency contraception. Not only is using two forms of emergency contraception not more effective at preventing pregnancy, but the different types of morning after pill may actually make the other less effective. You’re much more likely to have nausea, vomiting, and other side effects from using multiple forms of emergency contraception. If you’ve taken the morning after pill and don’t have a regular form of birth control, use a backup form of contraception. This can help prevent unwanted pregnancy.  Consider using condoms as your backup form of contraception.  Use backup contraception for 14 days after taking the morning after pill.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Know your job prospects. Learn programming. Draw on your experience. Enroll in a degree program (optional). Network your way to a job.

Answer: The software development field has excellent job growth. Software engineering is a particularly desirable focus compared to basic programming. Median software developer income is roughly $80,000 – $100,000 a year in the United States. Practical software design and coding should be your first priorities. There are a variety of ways to earn this experience:  Teach yourself programming through online tutorials or friends willing to teach you. Take a massive open online course (MOOC). If you already have some experience, collaborate with other programmers on GitHub. A coding bootcamp is one of the fastest ways to learn, if you're willing to invest money and free time. Just make sure to do your research, as some bootcamps have poor reputations in industry and may not be worth the money. Software may be a specialized subject, but your previous career doesn't have to involve computers to give you an edge. Software engineering can rely heavily on analytic skills, problem solving, and teamwork. In addition, familiarity with an industry may help you design software for that industry.  Even hobbies and side interests can open up networking opportunities, or at least add passion to your job. Game apps, digital music suites, or business software are all examples If possible, automate portions of your job. Build tools to speed up tasks and make things easier. Software engineering at its core is problem solving. Writing software is just a software engineer's chosen method of solving problems. There are problems all around you already! There's no reason you can't start now. It's very possible to land a programming job after a year or two of side experience, or even a few months with enough dedication. If you already have a bachelor's in any subject, along with some coding skills, consider going straight for a master's in software engineering.  Be aware that this is an incredibly expensive option. However, if you have difficulty being self-motivated and joining a community or trying a hobby doesn't stick, this could be the most effective option. Almost every industry needs software developers, so your network from a previous career can be invaluable. Also consider joining a professional association, such as IAENG Society of Software Engineering, the IEEE Computer Society Technical Council on Software Engineering, or the Association for Computing Machinery. Also, look into local meetups or online communities. The software world can be surprisingly small, and finding the right connection can open up a myriad of opportunities.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Measure out the length of thread. Have fun creating your hair wrap - be patient and be creative!

Answer: Cut the thread or embroidery floss to your desired length. A good rule to follow is measuring the thread against the chosen strand of hair and make the thread 2-3 times longer than your hair or the extension you are wrapping. Measure out as many colors as you want to add to the first wrap and lay them out together. Once you try these basic designs, you can try new ways to create different unique patterns on your own braids. Most commonly, people choose to wrap just one braid but don't be afraid to wrap several braid strands or even do your whole head! You can keep your hair wrap in for a couple days or an entire month.  Most people decide it is time to remove the wrap when it starts to smell or feel funny. No matter what, do not leave it on longer than a month. An old wrap can mold. If you want to keep rocking the wrap look, remove the old one and start a new one on a different piece of hair. To remove the hair wrap, carefully snip the knot off and unravel the thread. Be careful to avoid cutting your own hair.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take notice of physical signs. Take notice of emotional signs. Count to ten. Try deep breathing. Repeat a calming word or phrase. Get a change of scenery. Try progressive muscle relaxation. Find something humorous to enjoy.

Answer:
When your body goes into stress mode, you will likely start to experience certain physical signs. These might include:  Your jaws are clenched and your muscles tense. Your head or stomach hurts. Your heart starts racing. You sweat (even the palms of your hands are sweaty). Your face flushes. Your body or your hands shake. You get dizzy. Anger is often accompanied by a flood of other emotions. After all, the amygdala, the center for emotions, is pumping out signals with all its might to meet a threat and ensure your survival. It isn't surprising that you can get a flood of other related emotions. These emotions are capable of sounding the alarms for the fight and flight response. In addition to anger, some emotions you might feel include:  Irritation Sadness Depression Guilt Resentment Anxiousness Defensiveness If you feel yourself getting angry and are experiencing the symptoms of anger listed above, you can tell yourself that you don't have to react right away. Counting can help you put off your feelings for the moment. It might feel a bit silly at first, but counting really can distract your long enough to calm down. Hold off on reacting and give yourself time to sort out your feelings. Try to get some space to yourself for a bit. If you can, excuse yourself and go to the bathroom, a stairwell, or outside while you do this, and this will help you feel comfortable deep breathing to calm down.  Breathe in for a count of four, hold for a count of four, and exhale for a count of four. Make sure you are breathing with your diaphragm rather than with your chest. When you breathe with your diaphragm, your belly extends out (you can feel it with your hand). Do this as many times as necessary until you start feeling calmer. Try saying something calming to yourself, such as, “Calm down,” or “Relax,” or “Take it easy.” Repeat this phrase over and over until you feel your anger start to dissipate. If you feel your blood boil, get out. Take a walk. Breathe deeply. If you are able to remove yourself from the situation, do it. By not having the thing or person that makes you mad in front of you, you can more easily calm down. Progressive muscle relaxation is the process of tensing and relaxing your entire body in progressive stages. It is thought that by tensing your muscles yourself, you can release pent-up tension in your body. Here is an overview of this method:  Breathe in for a count of four, hold for four, exhale for four. Keep breathing deeply. Start with the muscles in your head and face. Tighten as many muscles as you can in your face, head, mouth, and neck, and hold for twenty seconds, then release. Then work your way down the body, tensing and releasing your shoulders, arms, back (only if you don't have back problems), hands, stomach, legs, feet, and toes. Now wiggle your toes around, feeling the relaxation from your toes to your head. Take a few more deep breaths, and enjoy the feeling of relaxation. If you can get yourself laughing, you can change the chemical reaction in your body. You can use your brain and imagination to create all sorts of ridiculous situations that can get you laughing, especially if it isn't mean-spirited or sarcastic humor.  For instance, say you're in a situation where your boss got mad at you about something. Instead of fuming about it at your desk, you can dissipate your own anger by imagining he has a fish head and he was yelling through his fish mouth. It is important, however, not to laugh or smirk if you're still in a conversation with your boss. This could make things worse. You can even use this method if you lose your temper a lot. Using something to make you laugh will help you calm down for this moment. Then you can more effectively employ other methods, such as problem solving, to come up with a solution to the situation you're facing.
