Problem: Article: If you don’t know the person that you’re buying from, avoid giving them important details, such as your bank account information, address, social security number, or passwords. If the buyer or seller asks for any information that you don’t feel comfortable giving out, avoid working with them.  If you ever feel uncomfortable by what information a buyer or seller asks from you, avoid working with them. Never put your information in a private message to a buyer or seller on sites like Etsy, Craigslist, Facebook, or eBay. Credit cards usually have zero-liability policies, which means you won’t have to pay for transactions that you didn’t authorize if someone steals your information. Since debit cards don’t have the same liability protection, delete any debit information you have saved on the marketplace and replace them with the credit card you use.  Sign up for fraud alerts through your credit card company so you can get notified if any charges don’t seem correct. Pay off the credit card as soon as you make a purchase so you aren’t charged additional interest. You may also use PayPal to make purchases on sites like eBay or Etsy. If you’re buying, only bring the amount you agreed upon paying so the other person doesn’t try to drive up the price. When you’re selling, tell the other person you want cash and be firm on your asking amount. Keep a few smaller bills on you in case you need to make change.  This works best for buying or selling items through Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. Only exchange money after you have given or received the product. That way, the other person can’t steal from you. Create an account using a secure payment app, such as PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App. Connect your bank account or debit card to the app so you’re able to access your funds. Make sure the transaction goes through completely before exchanging the product. Set up the funds so they deposit into your bank or keep them on the app for future purchases. Don’t give out your login information since other people could access your funds. Many scammers use money transfer services to request funds, and they may try to steal information or take your money without sending the product. They may also use fake checks or not have enough funds, which can get you in trouble with your bank when you try to cash them. If the person requests you pay or accept money using either of these methods, avoid working with them or try to recommend a more secure method. Many scammers will request these forms of payment through Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace Avoid using wifi networks that aren’t password-protected since anyone else can access them and potentially find your information. Always log into a wifi network with a password or use the data services on your phone if you need to make a purchase. You don’t have to worry about your information if you’re plugged directly into your router or modem since it’s already protected by a firewall.
Summary: Don’t give out personal information to untrustworthy buyers or sellers. Use a credit card rather than a debit card when you’re buying. Opt to use cash when buying or selling in person. Use a person-to-person payment app if you don’t have cash. Avoid using money transfers or checks whether you’re buying or selling. Make purchases over secure Internet connections.

Problem: Article: Check with your supervisor to see what the policies are for transporting heavy objects while you’re at the job. Go over the rules and policies so you don’t hurt you or anyone else while you’re working.  For example, if you need to move something on a factory floor and don’t know how, ask somebody else what should be done instead of lifting it on your own. Don’t attempt to lift something if you’re not properly trained with the equipment. Moving dollies allow you to move large appliances on your own across a flat surface. Put the lip of your moving dolly underneath the object. Strap the object into place on the dolly so it doesn’t fall off. Tip the dolly backward toward you to lift the object. Roll the object to the area you want to set it down and pull the bottom out.  Ask for help if you can’t tip the object back on your own. Moving dollies can be rented from most hardware stores. Shoulder dollies are harnesses worn by 2 people so they can carry a heavy object between them. Slip the harness on over your head so it makes an X in the middle of your back and so the metal buckle is at waist level. Have a person stand on each side of the object put the lifting strap underneath. Hold onto each side of the object and lift with your legs at the same time.  Shoulder dollies can be purchased online. Shoulder dollies work well for large and bulky furniture, such as bookcases or desks. Many warehouses or businesses that require heavy lifting have forklifts or pallet jacks to transport heavier loads. Line the tines of your forklift or pallet jack with the openings on the sides of the pallet. Either pull the lever on the forklift that raises the load, or crank down on the handle of a manual pallet jack to lift the load.  Check if your company or area requires a permit for driving a forklift. Make sure the weight is evenly distributed on the pallet so nothing falls off or tips over.
Summary: Follow any heavy lifting policies your job has put in place. Use a moving dolly if you need to move large appliances. Lift heavy objects with a shoulder dolly if you’re with a partner. Use a forklift or hand jack if you’re lifting pallets.

Problem: Article: Using a sharp knife, slice a piece of ginger of approximately 4 inches (10 cm) off your larger ginger root. Cut off any small nubs with a paring knife so you have a relatively uniform piece.
Summary: Cut your ginger into a 4 inch (10 cm) piece.

Problem: Article: DID is characterized by the presence of alternate identities, often referred to as alters. These identities are often complex, with their own unique histories and physical and behavioral traits. For example, an adult may have a child alter. You may notice changes in voice and physical movement, in addition to changes of attitude and preferences. As different alters present, the person may report loss of memory or a sense of lost time, as they may not be aware when an alter is present. Moving between alters is referred to as "switching"  People with DID may also experience anxiety, depression, self-harm, sleep disturbances, and/or drug and alcohol abuse. Severity of symptoms varies greatly among individuals. People experiencing mental disorders often do not seek or comply with treatment because of stigma associated with being mentally ill. This may be particularly true for people with DID, as it isn't universally accepted as a disorder, despite its inclusion in the DSM-5, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders describing diagnostic criteria for all mental disorders. Avoid contributing to the shame and embarrassment a person with DID may already feel. Acknowledge how difficult it must be to manage the reactions of others. This will show you understand the complexity of living with a mental disorder. Is the individual is a friend or family member, ask about their experiences to show you care. Strangers may feel very uncomfortable with questions about their mental health, so do not pry.  Ask how they feel before and after "switching" to get a better understanding of their experience. Express empathy by recognizing how frightening, confusing, and frustrating these experiences must be.
Summary:
Know the symptoms. Suspend your judgement. Ask questions, if you are familiar with the person.
