Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Know your phone's serial number. Register your phone online. Have a designated place for everything. Prepare to avoid future losses.

Answer: Every cell phone is equipped with an electronic serial number. Depending on the type and model of cell phone you use, your phone's unique number may be called an IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity), MEID (Mobile Equipment Identifier), or ESN (Electronic Serial Number). It's often located on a sticker under the battery, though its location will vary depending on your phone.  Find your cell phone's serial/identification number when you first purchase it. Write the number down and keep it in a safe place at home. If you ever lose your phone, you can report your serial/identification number to the police and to your wireless provider. Some online services, such as MissingPhones.org, allow you to register your cell phone with the website. This can help you in the future, should your phone become lost or stolen down the line. In order to register your phone, you'll need the serial number from your device. If you're prone to losing things, you may want to work on reducing the frequency of those losses, no matter what the item may be. Try getting into a habit of leaving things in particular places, which can help you know where to look next time.  If you tend to lose your phone at home, try to keep it on a nightstand or coffee table whenever it's not on your person. When your phone is on your person, give it a designated pocket and always check that you have everything when you get up to leave. For example, you might tap your pockets to confirm in a particular order that you've got your keys, wallet, and cell phone. There are certain precautions you can take to assist your efforts in the future, should you lose or misplace your phone again. You can register your phone for a GPS tracking service, either through your wireless provider or through an independent service like AccuTracking or Belon.gs. You can also keep a written record of your phone's serial/identification number in your wallet or at home.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn about being an academic. Talk to an academic. Think about your personality. Consider your career and salary goals.

Answer: Someone who pursues an academic career often works at a university or research institution in a specific discipline such as biology, history, or political science. During their graduate program, academics generally spend 1 or more years working as teaching assistants at a college or university. These are paid positions that feature tuition and fee waivers in addition to a paycheck for teaching 1-2 classes each academic term. You'll also need to conduct research and complete projects, such as a dissertation. Once you graduate, you'll need to competitively seek employment at a college or university, where you'll continue your research, writing, and teaching. If you like studying, writing essays, and teaching, academia might be a good choice for you.  Investigate your job options. The U.S. Department of Labor analyzes job opportunities in 800 fields in its Occupational Outlook Handbook that is published annually and on its website bls.gov.  Enter 'Occupational Outlook Handbook' in the bls.gov search window. It's increasingly difficult to find permanent or tenured jobs in academia.  Researching, writing, taking part in academic conferences, and teaching something about which you are passionate can be incredibly rewarding and make academia seem less like a “job.” If you think you want to be an academic, consider meeting someone who is already one in the your desired field or discipline. They can tell you about the realities of academia, answer questions you have, give you tips for getting started, and guide your goals for the future.  In the U.S., college and university professors have regular office hours each week as part of their employment.  Members of the public can schedule a half hour to an hour appointment to ask questions about entering the profession. If a senior professor is too busy to have time, usually a younger professor will be suggested who is up to date on the most recent trends concerning entering the field and transitioning from graduate school to employment. Inquire how they got into their academic career. Ask about their education and/ or any professional or practical experience they had. An academic career can be very demanding. You'll need to constantly be learning about new concepts and sharing that knowledge in a variety of modes, such as journal articles, books, and the classes you teach. You'll also need to compete for positions. In addition, working with a university faculty can require navigating delicate personal and political situations. You will need to set aside your own emotions and biases to provide equal treatment of all. You might want to ask yourself some of the following questions:  How deep is my commitment to this field? Am I willing to potentially move often and continuously pursue jobs? Am I willing to start part-time as an adjunct faculty member? Am I able to work in an unstructured environment and self-start projects? Can I create and pursue my own research topics? Am I willing to participate on a campus committee that has meetings? Do I want to be a mentor to students? Can I handle the competitive nature of this career? Academics often choose their career because it's their passion. However, the jobs you get may depend on what's available at the time. Additionally, salary can vary wildly, as high paying positions are limited. People with the same credentials can make vastly different salaries.  Ask yourself if you'd like to teach and work with students. Consider if you're only interested in working with other academics, such as in a think tank.  Look up salary amounts in your area. Consider if you can adapt your lifestyle if necessary. For example, a full professor will make considerably more than an adjunct professor or lecturer. The amount can also differ according to your experience and job location.  Think about the other skills you can use to add to your income, and if you'd be willing to take on other work. For example, community college, college, and university faculty in the U.S. sometimes make a significant portion of their income through authoring or co-authoring textbooks used in their fields.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Don’t use the same tactics back. Realize that you aren’t going to be able to change him. Know when to leave. Leave when planned.

Answer:
As satisfying as you think it might be to call your husband the names he might call you, don’t do it. It won’t help your relationship to descend to his level. If he is willing to seek help and therapy, then there’s hope. If he is unwilling to work on changing his abusive attitude, it’s best to work on leaving the relationship, if only for a brief time until you can agree on some kind of therapy program. As satisfying as it might be to make a hard and fast deadline — if you call me names again, I’m leaving forever — think about what’s realistic. Will you stay when he is working on changing his behavior? At what point will you give up and leave? Share your plan with your support network so they can help you if it becomes necessary to follow through with your exit plan. It’s usually impossible to fix an abusive relationship. Don’t keep threatening to leave then stay — go when he steps out of bounds you have discussed. Reach out to family and friends with information about how to contact you and that you are leaving.  Change your cell phone number and give it out only to trusted friends and family, asking them not to give it out. Delete any search history with research about your leaving on shared computers. If you are worried about retaliation and anger, leave a fake trail. Do internet searches for towns hours from where you plan to be. Write down phone numbers of motels in that town (where you won’t be). Go to a safe place that you have set up beforehand — shelter, the house of someone your husband doesn’t know, a hotel. Communicate with your husband through a note you leave at home and let him know you have left and the steps you will be taking (restraining order, divorce, etc.) Let him know a family member or friend he can contact to reach you, but warn him that he will not be able to talk to you directly.
