Problem: Article: If you don't know already, find out from your former employer or welfare agency if you qualify for unemployment and, if so, whether you can collect right away. In some cases you may need to wait until any severance, bonus or other monies paid are exhausted first. Once you've received the answer, do what makes most sense to you and your circumstances, with regard to collecting immediately or waiting. In some countries you are able to claim a form of financial support while you job seek; however, if you have made yourself voluntarily unemployed then there will usually be a minimum period that has to elapse before you can begin claiming this. You can often get charitable help in the way of food banks, clothing assistance, job application reskilling, etc. through charities that focus on helping unemployed people. If you feel too proud to seek such help, remind yourself that you are part of what keeps some of those charity workers in a job, as their services are only needed when people use them. Moreover, sometimes being part of the charity community is a way of finding new work, especially if you undertake volunteer work when you feel ready. In some cases, changes can be made within your immediate family that will give you the breathing space needed to recover from the past job and look for a new one. In other cases, extended family may be able to assist with loan/mortgage repayments or other forms of help. Think about all the possibilities open to you through a supportive family structure; for example, if a family member owns residential property, you might be able to do a deal to downsize to it and pay cheaper rent for a while.
Summary: File for unemployment. Check out what charities can do for you. Talk to family members.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a small, handheld vacuum to gently lift dirt and debris from the pages and binding. For very old, delicate books, avoid pressing the vacuum directly to the book’s surface; instead, allow it to hover just above the surface, moving slowly and gently from side to side. Microfiber cloths are both gentle and excellent for picking up dust. Using a clean microfiber cloth, gently wipe down each of the book’s pages. This cleaning method should be conducted using gloves, as the oils present in skin can smudge or otherwise damage old pages. Your brush can be a specialty brush, specifically for books, or even an unused bottle brush--more important than its intended purpose is the brush’s material. Horsehair, coconut bristles, and other natural fibers will be gentler on the spine and pages than plastic or acrylic. Insects are often attracted to books, and can be found nesting or snacking on the pages, glue, binding, or cover. Search for any small holes in the pages, small bodies, or egg sacs.  If you find insect activity of any kind, place your book in a sealed plastic bag, and store it in the freezer for 2-3 days. Upon removal, wipe or vacuum away any remaining insects, larvae, or egg sacs. Place camphor-soaked linen on your shelves or sprinkle diatomaceous earth around the bookcase in question. This acts as powerful deterrents for insects, and mice, and both are safe to keep near old, valuable books. While staining cannot be reversed in most cases, it can provide insight into the conditions the book requires. Water staining, for instance, will tell you the book may be particularly sensitive to moisture, while yellowing of the pages suggests a sensitivity to heat. Mold and mildew are both brought on by warm, moist conditions, and may be reversed with cool, dry air. As with insect activity, place the book in the freezer for 3-4 days, before gently scraping away any remaining mold or mildew, or using a vacuum with a HEPA filter.

SUMMARY: Vacuum pages and binding with a handheld vacuum. Wipe pages with microfiber cloths. Brush with a natural-fiber brush. Eradicate and prevent insect activity. Search for staining, mold, and mildew.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you are having difficulty forgiving someone and it is impacting your life in a negative way, perhaps it is time to seek professional help from a counselor or therapist. Therapies intended to promote forgiveness have been successful in helping people overcome past hurts and achieve peace and resolution.  Obtain a referral or suggestion from your physician, health insurance company, or a trusted family member or friend. However, if that is not feasible, contact your local department of mental health about counseling options. If you feel you and your therapist are not a good fit, look for a different therapist. Every therapist is different and finding one with whom you feel comfortable is essential. Try a therapist who practices cognitive behavioral therapy. Your therapist will help examine and dispel the negative thought patterns that you have developed. Consider spiritual counseling. Many people find comfort in seeking help from spiritual leaders who can guide them toward forgiveness. The power of prayer has been successful toward healing and alleviating feelings of guilt and shame, which are motivators for people seeking forgiveness for various reason. Commit to changing your behavior. In both psychotherapy and physical therapy, you will benefit from setting goals. Engage in the process by allowing yourself to be open and vulnerable. Don't abandon the process just because it gets difficult. Your hard work will pay off and leave you with a healthy sense of accomplishment.   Identify your objectives. For example, would you like to feel more at peace toward a family member who betrayed you? Tell the therapist that this is one of your goals. Reward yourself when you reach your goal. Your motivation will increase if you reward your accomplishments.  Adjust your objectives rather than give up. Continue to make new goals as it will keep you engaged in life. Surround yourself with people who care about you. This includes family, friends, and co-workers. Branch out and meet new people to expand your circle of support. You have learned so much through the therapeutic process that you feel resourceful and confident. A good support system will help you reduce stress and may even boost your immune system. Exploring your interests may lead to joining groups that allow you to meet new people, and experience new situations. Personal struggles can leave you feeling bad about yourself. You may feel guilty for not taking care of yourself in a situation or you unfairly blame yourself for what happened. You can learn to manage feelings of guilt and shame rather than try to eliminate them.  If you have chosen to participate in cognitive behavior therapy, it will help you examine your thoughts and develop new more effective ways of thinking about yourself.
Summary:
Find a therapist if you're struggling to cope. Set therapeutic goals for yourself. Enhance your support system. Forgive and accept yourself.
