Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Apply to jobs in schools. Make yourself an attractive candidate. Consider teaching private lessons.

Answer: Many people who train to become music teachers are primarily interested in finding full-time work in schools, but this is not always easy to do. For starters, funding for the arts regularly comes under attack. Moreover, many teachers are waiting longer to retire. For these reasons, aspiring music teachers need to be proactive on the job market.   Start applying for jobs before you graduate. It can take a while, so be patient. Be prepared to relocate. The uncertainties of the job market might mean that you are not able to get a job in your first choice of location. With many more applicants than there are positions, you will need to find a way of setting yourself apart.  Maintain your own musical chops. You’ll be better prepared to educate others if you stay excited about performance and are constantly improving your skills. As you deepen your skills, make sure you broaden them as well. In a crowded market, a singer/saxophonist/virtuoso improviser will be a more attractive candidate than someone who can do only one of these things. Stay up to date on technology. It is rapidly introducing not only new ways of producing music, but also new methods of teaching it. Whether due to financial exigencies or preference, many music teachers end up giving private lessons. Teaching out of your home or studio can offer more flexible hours, the chance to connect with students one-on-one, and the opportunity to work with many different ages and ability levels, but there are also some drawbacks.  There is no required certification process for individuals who wish to teach music privately, although the Music Teachers National Association does offer a certification.   Moreover, the people paying you for your services are depending on your skills, talents, and patience. If you cannot deliver, they may take their business elsewhere. If you are a performer, it can be easier to balance rehearsals and performances with a private teaching schedule. You can also decide how many students you want to take on. However, you will need to create individual lesson plans for each of your students. While it can be freeing not to be beholden to a curriculum, it can be very time-consuming, as well.   You also cannot rely on a steady income the way teachers in schools can (at least on a year-to-year basis). Your business will grow largely through word-of-mouth.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try lubricants. Try a vaginal moisturizer. Use estrogen creams.

Answer: If your vaginal dryness is a problem during intercourse, using lubricants can help temporarily alleviate the problem.  Lubricants can be purchased online, in pharmacies, and can also be bought at sex shops. Lubricated condoms can also be purchased to alleviate vaginal dryness during intercourse.  Lubricants should be applied directly to the vagina shortly before intercourse. Lubricants only temporary relief, so if you're looking for a long term cure you might want to look elsewhere. Vaginal moisturizers are topical creams applied directly to the vagina. Most non-hormonal vaginal creams can be purchased over the counter.  Vaginal creams can be found at the supermarket or drug stores. Replens, Luvena, K-Y Silk-E Vaginal Moisturizer and KY Liquibeads Vaginal Moisturizer are examples of over the counter vaginal creams.  Talk to your gynecologist before using any new products. While most are safe for use, some may increase the risk of infection and adverse reactions, such as rashes or sores. Estrogen creams are topical ointments applied directly to the vagina that contain a low dose of the hormone estrogen. You must have a prescription to obtain estrogen cream.  Usually around bedtime, estrogen cream is inserted directly into the vagina with an applicator or a clean finger. Depending on your medical history, your doctor will tell you how often to use estrogen cream and in what amount.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Visit a party supply store. Choose latex balloons. Blow up your balloons. Tie them off by hand. Store and transport the balloons.

Answer: Go to a party supply store or a general retailer that sells balloons. Purchase the number of balloons you decided on for your guests. Keep in mind any restrictions that your city and county has on the number allowed, and remember that you will need to pick up all of the balloons after the release. Ask party supply staff if you have any questions about balloons or blowing them up to the proper inflation. Purchase only latex balloons, as latex is made from the sap of a tree and may biodegrade after 24-36 months, in the event that any remain loose in the environment. Ask staff at the party store how to fill your balloons with helium, either doing it yourself or having them do it for you. Blow up balloons as close to the time of your event as possible to avoid any deflation. Note that there are risks associated with using helium. It causes balloons to fly far away where they can’t easily be cleaned up, and it depletes helium, which is a finite resource used for many other essential applications in medicine, engineering, and countless other areas. Try blowing up balloons with just your breath or an air pump, and tossing them into the air instead. Close your balloons by making a knot in the end of the balloon itself, without using clips, string, ribbon, valves, or other material to tie it off. If you use string or ribbon to hold the balloons for the balloon release, you must have a way of retrieving every balloon after the release. Strings and ribbons can choke or entangle wildlife if not collected and disposed of. Find an easy way to store the balloons, like placing them in large plastic bags or nets, and recruit people to help transport them carefully. Fill vehicles with the bags of balloons, weighing down the bags to keep them from escaping truck or trailer beds if needed.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Don’t post anything online you want to keep private. Make use of privacy settings on social media. Limit your online friends. Protect your passwords. Limit access to your devices and accounts.

Answer:
Private messages, pictures, texts, and other content aren't truly private. Once they're out there, a bully could get hold of a copy and use it to harm you. It’s best not to post anything inappropriate, embarrassing, or overly personal online. Try the “grandma test” as a rule of thumb: before sharing anything online, ask yourself if you would also show it to you grandmother. If not, it’s probably best to keep it private. Most social networking sites and similar services allow you to control who sees what you post online. For instance, you can make your profile and posts private, so that only followers you accept can see your content. Making your accounts private will limit outsiders from accessing your information, but won’t keep it totally secure. It’s easy to connect with lots of people online through social networking sites and in other ways. If you keep your online circles limited to people you know and trust, however, you are more likely to avoid being cyberbullied.  You don’t have to accept friend requests, messages, invitations, etc. from people you don’t know or trust. If any of your online friends/followers begin to show bullying behavior online, you can defriend or stop following them right away. If you make it easy for someone to hijack your information, social media accounts, or devices, this could lead to problems. If a bully is able to log in to your social media accounts, for instance, they could post mean things under your name or harass your friends. To prevent this, do things like:  Don’t write passwords down, store them in your phone, or share them with anyone else. Change your passwords regularly. Choose passwords that are difficult to guess. Be careful not to let a would-be bully get access to your files or accounts and use that information to harass you. For instance, log out completely whenever you use a public or shared computer. Likewise, don't let anyone you don’t know or trust use your personal devices.
