Article: Special events and dates, such as anniversaries and holidays, can be very difficult and emotional if you are separated from your family either by distance or emotion. To keep yourself in a positive state of mind during these times it may be helpful to take on extra hours at work. Or, maintain a full schedule of social activities. Being busy will remind you that you are a productive person with a good life.  If your coworkers or friends learn that you will be alone over the holidays, they might invite you to spend the time with their family. Carefully consider your emotions before you accept this offer as it may trigger negative feelings for you, such as jealousy. If you live with your family, you might arrange to spend part of the holiday at a friend’s house enjoying their celebration. Make these plans well in advance and, if getting to your friend requires a bit of travelling and you can afford to do that, even better. Whenever you are dealing with personal conflicts certain days will be better than others. Try to assess your state-of-mind on a weekly, not daily, basis. Don’t beat yourself up if you feel down one day. Honor your sadness that day by journaling about it, allowing yourself to cry, or talking to a trusted friend. This is a part of the healing process. Then, try to find a way to make the next day extra special. Go to your favorite restaurant, for example.   It may also be helpful to tell your friends if/when you have a bad day. They may spring into action to lift you out of your funk and provide a positive distraction. Make sure to return this favor when you have the opportunity to do so. If you are in school, keep a close eye on your participation grades (and grades in general) during bad periods with your family. If you have a tendency to focus on yourself and get quieter, make a point to speak up and get those points. If you’ve been surrounded by dysfunction and negativity for your entire life, you may need to take a bit of time to observe and understand positive and supportive ways of treating people. Pick up some reading material on healthy interpersonal relationships. Be patient with yourself and expect to make a few errors on your way.  For example, you may want to figure out when it is appropriate to say, “thank you,” for something and how to best express that sentiment. Do you write out a full card or simply send a brief test message? You will need to experiment to find out what is comfortable for you. If you are a young adult, look around you to find other people who you can respect and follow. They can be someone who you already spend a lot of time around, such as a teacher. Or, they can be a person who you do not know personally, such as a professional athlete.  Try to learn more about your role model, including why they make particular decisions. For example, if your favorite football player is always volunteering you may want to follow that model. When you first wake up each morning, whisper a simple, positive phrase to yourself. You might say, "Today is going to be a good day.” Or, “You will do great today!” Just keep it memorable and mix it up when the phrase loses its punch or effectiveness. You can also take a moment and visualize your day going really well.   At the end of the day, you are your own best cheerleader. Figure out a way to keep yourself on the positive track, whether it be through repeating mantras or practicing deep breathing. Journaling positive affirmations and reviewing these can be helpful, as well as keeping positive phrases posted in a place you see often, such as on your mirror or computer monitor. You can’t control the past, but you can shape your future. Sit down and make a list of immediate and distant goals for your personal and professional life. Post this list somewhere visible, like on the wall in your room, and celebrate each time that a line is marked off.   A personal goal might be to hit the gym at least three times a week. Or, perhaps you want to watch one movie each week and revel in your downtime. Break your goals down into steps that are small and achievable so that they are more likely to happen. This will reinforce your progress and keep you motivated.

Problem: Article: The person or agency for which you’re providing a copy edit will determine which style guide you’ll refer to. For example, if you’re copy editing an academic journal article for an English literature scholar, you’ll need to refer to the MLA style guide. Good resources for all copy editors to have on their reference shelf include:   The Chicago Manual of Style The Associated Press style guide (especially for journalists) A reputable dictionary An in-house style guides, if your publication agency has one When you’re editing copy on paper, there are certain editorial shorthand marks which you’ll need to know and use. These marks are nearly universal and will be recognized by other editors, making your task as a copy editor much easier. For example:   A caret (^) is used to show where a new word or punctuation should be inserted. A horizontal strikethrough (―) indicates that a word should be removed. A slash through a capital letter (Ø) means that is should be lowercase. If you make an editorial revision which you wish to undo, write “STET” (Latin for ‘let it stand’) in the margin next to your incorrect revision. If you’re editing texts digitally (and not on paper), take full advantage of your software’s editorial functions. For example, if you’re providing a copy edit in Microsoft Word, you’ll need to know how to Track Changes, leave Comments, and use the Reviewing Pane.   This familiarity will allow you to quickly provide a helpful copy edit and to take full advantage of the resources that your word processing software uses.
Summary: Obtain necessary reference materials. Use copy editing marks. Familiarize yourself with the editorial software.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Some people have success with massaging points around the eye to help with eyestrain. You should spend about 10 seconds on each point.  You can either use the tip of your finger or your knuckle to gently massage the points. Try to keep your nail away from the skin.  Massage in small circles, not back and forth. Also, try to keep your finger straight if you're using a fingertip. These massage techniques apply for all the points around the eye.  To help you find them, you might feel a slight pain or feel a depression at each point. This point is that little hollow where the bridge of your nose runs into your forehead. Rubbing it can help with eyestrain. Some say that the point is actually on each side of the nose at this spot, closer to the eye. This spot is just under your eye. You should massage right in the center. Now, find the spot on the outer corner of your eye to massage. It should be just to the outside of the tip of your eye. Some people also recommend a spot between the bottom center and the tip. This spot is also good to work on in an eye massage. Gently massage the spot directly over your pupil. Some people also add a spot to the left and right of this spot along the eyebrow, almost to each end.

SUMMARY: Work your way around the eye. Find the point between your eyes. Move to a spot underneath the eye. Find the outer corner. Locate the middle of the eyebrow.

This may be easier said than done, but here are some tips:  A line. If you see a line on the graph that extends to infinity, then all versions of x will be covered eventually, so the domain is equal to all real numbers. A normal parabola. If you see a parabola that is facing upwards or downwards, then yes, the domain will be all real numbers, because all numbers on the x-axis will eventually be covered. A sideways parabola. Now, if you have a parabola with a vertex at (4,0) which extends infinitely to the right, then your domain is D = [4,∞) Just state the domain based on the type of graph you're working with. If you're uncertain and know the equation of the line, plug the x-coordinates back into the function to check.
