Another way to calculate the APY is to work backward from your actual savings, to determine the rate that you earned. To perform this calculation, you need the following information:  Interest. This is the amount of interest that you earned over a specified period of time. You will need good bank records or a periodic bank report to get this number. Principal. This is the amount of money that you held in your account to earn the interest. If the amount of principal changes over time, you will need to perform separate calculations for each time period that the principal is constant, and add them together. Days. This is the number of days that the Principal remained in the account when the interest accrued. When you know the amount of money in your account and the amount of interest that you earned, you can calculate the APY with the following formula:  APY=100[(1+IP)365d−1]{\displaystyle {\text{APY}}=100[(1+{\frac {I}{P}})^{\frac {365}{d}}-1]}   I{\displaystyle I} is the interest earned  P{\displaystyle P} is the amount of principal  d{\displaystyle d} is the number of days Suppose you learn that you earned $60 interest on a savings account that started with $5,000, over half a year (182.5 days). Use this information to calculate the APY that you received:  APY=100[(1+IP)365d−1]{\displaystyle {\text{APY}}=100[(1+{\frac {I}{P}})^{\frac {365}{d}}-1]} APY=100[(1+605000)365182.5−1]{\displaystyle {\text{APY}}=100[(1+{\frac {60}{5000}})^{\frac {365}{182.5}}-1]} APY=100[(1.012)2−1]{\displaystyle {\text{APY}}=100[(1.012)^{2}-1]} APY=100[(1.024144−1]{\displaystyle {\text{APY}}=100[(1.024144-1]} APY=100[0.024144]{\displaystyle {\text{APY}}=100[0.024144]} APY=2.4144%{\displaystyle {\text{APY}}=2.4144\%} The final step of the calculation, multiplying by 100, is just to transform the decimal figure into a percentage.

summary: Collect information about your savings. Use the alternate APY formula. Insert the data and perform the calculation.

There is likely an underlying root for not showing your emotions. Perhaps you grew up in an environment where showing your emotions was frowned upon, or you are suppressing strong emotions so you don’t have to deal with them. Think about events in your life that may have been tragic that you haven’t dealt with. Do you fear talking about those events? Understanding why you aren’t showing your emotions will help you move forward and express your emotions in the future. There are six basic human emotions: happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust. You must understand how each emotion is felt inside, and how to show them outwardly, so you can then express yourself appropriately.  Positive emotions include happiness and surprise. Happiness is felt around the body and involves feeling content and safe. Surprise is felt as a sudden jolt in the head and chest region. Negative emotions include anger, disgust, sadness, and fear. Anger is felt from the shoulder blades up through the back of your head as heat. Disgust, which is felt mainly in the stomach, often leads to feelings of nausea. Sadness feels physically painful in the chest and upwards. Fear involves a quickening heart rate, heavy breathing, and sweatiness. Emotions drive our decision making, according to recent neurological studies. Without feeling some emotion towards a decision, it is nearly impossible to define a position on a topic. Understanding that decision making and emotions are connected can help you become emotionally aware, which you can use to your advantage. For example, if you are making a decision at work that frightens you, recognize your decision might be biased, and make a logic-based, instead of a fear-based decision. Every time you feel something, pause for a moment and ask yourself, “What is this emotion?” If you are in a meeting with your boss, and begin to feel agitated, instead of suppressing or ignoring the emotion, take three seconds to recognize that you are feeling something. Remind yourself that your emotions are valid and you are feeling this way for a reason. Physically label the emotion as “sad”, “happy”, etc. by writing it down on the nearest piece of paper or on your phone. Encourage yourself to continue to recognize emotions, so that it becomes easier overtime. Tell yourself that “I am not wrong for feeling this way” and “I admit I feel this emotion”. After you acknowledge you are feeling an emotion, accept the feeling and any consequence associated with it. By staying accountable to your emotional responses, you can make positive steps to fix or change the response. For example, if you are feeling sad, and are mean to a loved one in response, take ownership of your emotional response. Then reach out to the person and apologize, explaining to them you were acting upon your emotions. Once you have the vocabulary associated with emotions, you can begin to articulate them with others. Carefully select a loved one who is willing to listen to you, and share the emotions you had in a given day. Talk about negative and positive emotions and how you dealt with both. Sharing your emotions with another person can provide clarity and perspective, and be quite relieving.  If you are still uncomfortable talking with a loved one about your emotions, try seeking therapy. Talking with a professional therapist will not only ease your mind about the possibility of being judged by a loved one, but a therapist is trained to help you express emotions and get to the root of your inability to share emotions with others. Don’t feel ashamed or guilty for sharing your emotions with others or seeing a therapist. Learning to express emotions in a positive way with immensely help your physical and mental health.

summary: Identify reasons for hiding your emotions. Understand the basic emotions. Understand how emotions affect your decision-making. Acknowledge each emotion. Be culpable to your emotions. Talk to someone about your emotions.


Summarize the following:
You want to leave a nice long tail so you can weave it into your stitches and finish your hat. You should have plenty of yarn left over in your skein, so cut a one-foot tail to be on the safe side. Remove and store your stitch marker at this point. You don’t need it anymore for this project. Thread the tail of the yarn through your tapestry needle. Slip the needle into each of the remaining 10 stitches, pulling the free end of the yarn through the stitches. You should slide each stitch off the needle, onto the free tail. When you’re finished, all the stitches should be off the needles, and you should have some yarn left over hanging loose. There will be a small hole at the center of the 10 stitches. Pull the free tail to tighten up the end of the hat and draw the stitches close. The hole should be drawn into a pinpoint. Turn the hat inside out, then weave the tapestry needle through your stitches to secure the free end of the yarn. This is called “weaving in the ends” of the yarn. When you’re sure that the yarn won’t come loose and unravel your hat, cut the rest of the tail off with scissors. Do the same thing to the free yarn at the brim of the hat, where you cast on your original stitches.
summary: Cut the yarn with your scissors. Thread the yarn tail through the remaining stitches. Pull the yarn tight. Weave the free yarn into your stitches.
