In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you buy stock, you buy a share of the ownership of a company. You can buy stock in individual companies by using an online broker, such as E-Trade, Charles Schwab or TD Ameritrade (among many others). Do not, however, commit a large portion of your money to any single company. If such a company were to get in trouble, you could lose most of your money.   For example, Snap Inc. received a lot of press when it went public in March 2017 with shares priced at $27. However, by the following August the stock price had fallen to $11 per share. That's a drop of about 60%, which would have really hurt someone who had invested a large amount of money at the opening price. To avoid such a disaster, limit your investment in any one stock to 5% or (preferably) less of your total portfolio. Entire industries often rise and fall as a unit. If the price of oil surges, most oil-related stocks will rise as a group. When the price of oil dips, oil-company stocks tend to fall together. You can protect yourself against this risk by investing in several different industries or sectors of the economy.  Major sectors include technology, health care, financial services, energy, communication services, utilities and agriculture.   The industries or sectors you choose should have a low correlation to each other. That is, invest in various sectors whose stock prices tend to fall at different times.  For example, technology and communication services might be too closely related. On the other hand, energy and health care are not closely related and might be expected to rise or fall separately. As the economy in one country falters, the economy in other countries might be doing well. For this reason some experts recommend that you diversify by buying foreign stocks in addition to the domestic stocks you own. Buying stock in multinational corporations automatically exposes you to international markets. For example, if you buy McDonald’s stock, you are already investing in foreign markets, since McDonald’s has expanded into more than 100 countries.
Summary: Invest in many different companies. Invest in different sectors. Look at foreign stocks.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use roleplaying to help your child understand the family's morning routine.  For instance, you could use stuffed animals to show how a parent and their child go through their morning routine.  You could make the juvenile stuffed animal start by waking up.  The parent stuffed animal might say, “Wake up, sleepyhead.”  Continue in this way until the whole morning routine is complete.  Don't spend the actual amount of time necessary to complete each morning routine task.  That would be tedious for both you and your child.  Instead, act out each task briefly, but long enough that your child understands what each step entails. Play this morning routine act out during the evening before starting the morning routine. Some people learn better when presented information visually than they do when just being told.  Draft a morning routine chart on an erasable marker board and place it in a prominent location like the front door of the fridge, or in the hallway where everyone in the family – especially the kids – can see it.  The chart should list all the morning routine tasks and the exact time they should occur.  Your chart should include things like:  waking up brushing teeth eating breakfast getting dressed Use timers to remind kids how much time they have to complete activities. For example, give them 15 minutes of time in the bathroom. Use verbal feedback to keep your kids motivated.  For instance, if your daughter is getting dressed, comment on what she is wearing.  You might say “Wow, I noticed you're wearing a blue shirt today.  Great choice.  It looks really nice.” If your child is a laggard and does not readily conform to the morning routine, find ways to make doing so more enjoyable.  For example, you might ask your child to play a game with you.  The game requires them to do one morning task by the end of one song on their favorite album.  For instance, they might brush their teeth when the first song is finished, get dressed when the second song finishes, and so on. Create morning playlists to help wake them up and motivate them. If your kids repeatedly fail to meet the requirements of the morning routine, consider sitting down with them to discuss the problem and how they can solve it.  Work with your child on how they can get things done in reasonable amounts of time.  On the other hand, you could provide positive reinforcement for kids who conform to the morning routine.  For instance, if your child is ready for breakfast at the exact time they are expected to be, you could reward them with a neat sticker or a special blueberry muffin. If your partner does not conform to the morning routine, talk with them about why they are not conforming to the morning routine.  Say, “I've noticed you aren't conforming to the morning routine for the whole family.  What can I do to help you conform to the morning routine?”
Summary: Introduce the morning routine before implementation. Make a chart. Provide positive feedback. Make a game of the routine. Provide problem-solving and encouragements.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Pollen, such as ragweed, which blooms in late August and lasts until the first frost, is a common fall allergen. Wearing a mask, although not 100% effective can significantly reduce your pollen exposure when working outside. It is recommended that you wear a surgical-style face mask while outside during the autumn allergy season.   You can buy an appropriate face mask at a local drugstore. It is recommended that you look for a mask with an “N95” rating from the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. Most weather stations and websites will report on pollen counts during the fall allergy season. On days when the pollen count is particularly high you should avoid heading outdoors. You can also stay inside during certain times of the day. For instance, pollen counts are typically highest in the late morning and early afternoon. This will help to minimize your exposure to allergens. Warm, dry, and windy days are the worst for those who suffer from ragweed allergies.  For example, weather.com is a great site that includes an allergy tracker. Just type in your location and click on the allergy tracker located in the health section. During the fall season, in some parts of the world, trees will lose their leaves. Wet leaves act as a perfect breeding ground for mold, a common allergen. If you suffer from a mold allergy have someone else in your household remove fallen leaves from your yard. An allergy to ragweed, known as hay fever, is one of the most common fall allergies. Make sure that you do not have any ragweed in your own yard and minimize your contact with the plant while it is pollinating, from late August through to the first frost.  Plant cover crops such as clover or buckwheat to help prevent ragweed from taking root in your yard.
Summary:
Wear a mask. Monitor pollen counts. Remove wet leaves from your yard. Avoid ragweed.
