Problem: Article: Having a clear understanding of your anxiety will help you reduce it. Jot down a few reasons why you feel nervous about your speech. Try to dig into specific reasons. For example, if you write down that you’re worried that you’ll look stupid in front of a crowd, think about why you think you’ll look stupid. Is it because you worry that your information is wrong? Once you know this, you can spend more time researching and learning your topic. When you think negative thoughts about yourself and your performance, your anxiety will grow. If you don’t have confidence in yourself, you may think, how will your audience have confidence in you? When you catch yourself thinking negatively, stop yourself. Replace it with a positive thought.  For example, you might think, “I’ll forget my entire speech. I don’t know what I’m doing.” Stop this thought and replace it with, “I know my topic. I’ve done lots of research. Plus, I will have my speech written down and I can look at it when I need to. And if I stumble over a few places, that’s okay.” The fear of public speaking is known as glossophobia. About 80% of the population gets anxious about speaking in public. This group feels nervous, has clammy hands, has a racing heartbeat, and feels jittery. Know that it’s perfectly normal to feel this way before a speech. While it can be an uncomfortable experience, know that you will get through it. And each time you give a speech, you’ll get more accustomed to the experience.
Summary: Write down reasons why you’re anxious. Quiet your inner critic. Know that you’re not alone.

Most small swallowed items, such as teeth, will easily pass through the digestive tract along with food because they are the size of a pill and too small to cause any blockage. However, it is possible that the tooth will become stuck somewhere in the digestive system and require medical attention. Go to a doctor if:  The tooth has not passed within 7 days. Vomiting occurs, especially with blood present. Symptoms such as pain in the belly or chest develop, coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath. You have blood in the stools, especially black or tarry blood. It will probably take about 12 to 14 hours for the tooth to pass.  However, don’t be surprised if it shows up sooner, or later, than within those parameters. Nothing moves through your body quickly. You need to pass it through your digestive system and the more relaxed you are, the faster it will move along through your stomach, intestines, and colon. Corn kernels can stay largely intact as they pass through the bowels. When you start seeing corn in your stool, you’ll know it’s time to look for the tooth. These foods can help items move along through the digestive tract. If recommended by a doctor, you may consider using a laxative to aid in the recovery of the tooth. Make sure to take the right amount of the laxative to avoid overdosing. Overuse of laxatives can have serious effects and lead to dependency, loss of bone density, and a host of other problems causing dehydration followed by an increased heart rate and low blood pressure. When your stool is fairly loose and/or watery (because of the laxative), place a screen on the toilet to catch the tooth.

Q: Proximity alarms will alert you when equipment is removed outside of a specific radius. Verify that the appropriate radius is programmed into the alarm receivers. This will prevent false alarms from occurring when employees take laptops with them to meetings or to other sections of the office building. A central location will accurately track computers based on the radius programmed into the transmitter. Keep the receivers with your security staff if possible, since your security guards may be the best source for assistance in the event office computers are being stolen.
A: Attach mobile proximity alarms to your office computers. Store the receivers for every transmitter in a central office location.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before grouting, caulking, and finishing your job, wait at least 12 hours for the mastic to dry and the tiles to set. If you don’t, you could wind up displacing your tiles. Move over your tiles from the left to the right and remove all of the spacers you placed to separate the tiles from one another. If you don’t remove the spacers before applying grout, you’ll have problems with your grout in the future. If the spacer won't come out, use a flathead screwdriver to pry it out. Be careful not to damage the tile. While you can mix your own grout, it is much easier to purchase premixed grout and apply it without preparation. However, make sure you don’t open the grout until you’re ready to use it. If you open it earlier, it may begin to dry before you use it. Scoop up a generous amount of grout from your bucket with your float. Spread the grout over the spaces between your tiles. Apply extra grout, as you want to make sure you’re completely filling all grout lines. Avoid filling the space between your tiles and your counter, appliances, or windows. You’ll fill these in with caulk later. Run your float lightly across the grouted portions of your tile. Use it to scope up as much excess grout as you can. By removing grout, you’ll make your cleanup process a lot easier. You’ll also be able to use the excess grout elsewhere in your project. Take a rounded tool and run it along your grout lines. This will give a slightly concave appearance to your grout lines. It will also help to compact the grout and fill any pockets that aren’t already filled. Dampen a sponge in cool clean water. Wipe your tiles in a back-and-forth fashion. Rinse your sponge after you’ve wiped down one 4 foot (1.2 m) row of tiles. Continue to wipe your tiles until you’ve removed any grout or grout haze that remains on them. Use a caulk that closely matches the color of the grout you used. Squeeze your caulk gun or the tube slightly to push out just enough caulk to fill the gap. Finally, dampen one of your fingers in warm water and use it to smooth the caulk.  You can use a rounded end of a pen, pencil, or another object instead of your finger. Place painter's tape on the face of the tiles adjacent to where you’ll caulk. Remove the tape shortly after you’ve applied the caulk.
Summary:
Allow the tiles to set overnight. Remove spacers from between your subway tiles. Open your premixed grout 15 minutes before you use it. Spread grout with a float back and forth. Remove excess grout with a float. Shape your grout with a pen, pencil, or the rounded edge of a float. Use a sponge to remove any grout haze. Caulk the edges between your tiles and cabinets, windows, and appliances.
