article: Most Mac desktops are self-contained units that include everything within the monitor. You will simply need to plug the monitor unit to the power outlet, and connect the mouse and keyboard to the monitor via USB. It can be turned on any time if it is plugged in. You will be guided through the Setup Assistant process, which will configure your Mac for first-time use. Follow the instructions on each screen to set your location and language settings and create a new account. If you used a Mac before, you can use Setup Assistant to migrate your files and settings over. You can migrate virtually anything over, using a wireless connection, USB, Ethernet, or FireWire. In general, it is recommended that you only transfer your essential files. Any apps you used should be reinstalled. This will lead to better performance, as you won't migrate anything over that slowing down your previous system. Before you can download any updates or apps, you will need to connect to a network. Most Macs have WiFi built in, allowing you to connect to your home, school, or office wireless network. Some Macs also have Ethernet ports which allow you to connect directly to a modem or router using an Ethernet cable  See this guide for detailed instructions on connecting to a wireless network. If you are connecting via Ethernet, simply connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of your Mac, and then connect the other end to an available port on the router. Your Mac will do the rest. After connecting to a network, the first thing you should do is make sure that all the latest updates are installed. Chances are that updates to Mac OS X and your preinstalled programs have been released since the time your Mac was packaged, so be sure to grab all the available updates before diving in.  To check for and install any updates, click the Apple menu and select "Software Update". After the program takes a moment to check for available updates, you will be provided a list. Confirm that you want to install the updates. You may need to restart your Mac during the update process. Now that your Mac is connected and updated, you can start installing the apps you need on a daily basis. Installing apps is simple on a Mac. Open the DMG file that you download, and then drag the application file into the Applications folder.  Productivity/Organizational - Mac has a host of productivity and organizational software available. Everything from day planners to full office suites can be found on the Mac Store. Microsoft has a version of Office available for Mac as well, and Apple has its own office suite in Pages and Numbers. Browser - Your Mac comes with Safari installed, but you can install other browsers if you prefer. Chrome allows you to sync your browser settings across any device you use it on, making it great if you have multiple computers with different operating systems. Firefox is another popular option, and both are free. Multimedia - Macs are known for their multimedia capabilities, so consider installing some good multimedia apps. VLC player is an essential video player, and there are tons of music, video, and image editing programs available. Games - More and more games are making their way over to OS X as time goes by. Steam is now a very popular and easy way to access a variety of Mac games, and there are lots to choose from on the Mac Store as well. Utilities - Macs allow you to have a lot of control over the system, and there are many utilities that can make your life a little easier. From storage management to system automation, there is a lot to choose from. You can change your desktop wallpaper to make your computer more personal. There is also software, such as DockMod, that allows you to customize the Dock, while programs like Desktop Groups allow you to organize the icons cluttering up your desktop. You can use the Dashboard to add widgets to OS X. These are tools that you can quickly access without having to start a program. To access the Dashboard, click the Dashboard icon in the dock. Add widgets by clicking the "+" button in the lower-left corner of the Dashboard, and then clicking "More Widgets...". This will open the Widgets download page where you can browse through all the available widgets.

article: Begin by spending some time imagining the type of job you hope to gain. (Will you work in a hospital or a fitness centre? Would you like to work with athletes or individuals with injuries? Is there anything you'd like to specialize in?) Once you have a clear image, you can look for an undergraduate program that will suit your needs. Read over the websites and credentials of different programs to determine what they focus on. When you have selected the right program, complete an application.  A strong program will have a good job placement rate for graduates. Look for a program that offers hands-on course work. Look for a program that will provide work experience, such as an internship in a fitness centre or the opportunity to work in a rehab facility. Any good program will have ASEP accreditation. ASEP stands for the American Society of Exercise Physiologists. Any strong undergraduate (or graduate) programs in exercise physiology will be accredited by ASEP. Such accreditation attached to your degree will make it much easier for you to find work after you finish school. Exercise physiologists can be employed in hospitals, fitness centres, physical therapy clinics, cardiac rehabilitation facilities, and other places. Where you hope to work will determine what level of education you need, as well as which programs will be a good fit for you. In general, a master's degree in exercise physiology is required for most professions. However, you may only require an undergraduate degree (a BS in physical education, exercise science, or health science) to work for a community organization or at the community level. If you hope to be a researcher or work at a university, you will need a PhD  Determining what level of education you ultimately hope to seek will enable you to choose the right program. Some programs will be designed to lead into graduate programs, while others will be designed for you to head into the workforce. Once you have been accepted to a program, you will need to spend roughly four years completing it. As an exercise physiology student, you will learn about science and exercise, covering topics like athletic training, exercise science, physiology, kinesiology, nutrition, and others. You will also do some clinical training, giving you hands-on knowledge and experience.

Write an article based on this "Realize that you are not your stigma. Redefine your identity position in your own terms. Focus on other aspects of you. Have positive mental reminders. Have confidence in your abilities."
article:
When you woke up this morning, did you or your stigma brush your teeth? Did you or your stigma cook dinner last night? Do your family and friends love you or your stigma? That's right: they're two entirely separate things. When people that really care about you look at you, they see you as a person. So when you look at yourself, you should see “you,” too. It’s important to keep in mind that identity positions are not static. We all have some degree of freedom in positioning ourselves as one type of identity or another, regardless of how we are treated by others.  Spend some time on your own to identify what you really enjoy doing. Make a list of your positive qualities. These can include your mannerisms, behaviors, and beliefs. Make a list of your characteristics that you could work on. For example, you might write, “I usually shy away from confrontation and I cave in too easily to other people’s demands.” Make a list of what you’d like to change about yourself and what you need to do to achieve these changes. For example, if you don’t want to cave in so easily to other people’s demands, you might write, “I want to learn to be more assertive.” Then, you might take an assertiveness training workshop. These steps will help you conceive of yourself in a way that doesn’t immediately put your stigma in the foreground. Your stigma might be a part of who you are and the challenges you have to deal with in this life, but they don't define you as a person. People in wheelchairs can still go skydiving. People who are hard of hearing can still hold conversations. They just have to learn a different way of doing things, but this does not stop them from living fulfilling lives.  Whether the reasons for your stigma are visible or not, this is doable. A visible set of conditions would be being in a wheelchair or blind. An invisible issue would be HIV, renal disease, MS, or anything that doesn't immediately draw attention. Underneath your “condition,” however, you still exist. Your sense of humor, your wit, your smile and other aspects about you can hog the spotlight. Spend some extra time practicing the activities you excel at. This will help other people see you in a different light. When you are managing your stigma, it can seem like a very difficult task. It can be helpful to have some sort of mental reminder or mantra that will help refocus your attention away from what’s bothering you in the present.  For example, imagine a person or place that makes you happy. Or, remind yourself that not everyone is ignorant about your stigma. Remind yourself about the supportive people in your life. When it comes to your own thoughts, pay attention to whether they are mostly negative or positive. If you can’t accept who you are, it will make it more difficult for people around you to do so. Never think there's something you can't do because of a disability. Try out new hobbies or activities. If you have physical trouble doing something, such as playing basketball, find a wheelchair basketball league. Having a positive attitude and trying new things are good first steps in building your confidence.
