Q: What are you gaining in your sexually harassing behaviors?  Better understanding why you feel sexual harassment is necessary will help you find a solution for your behavior and refocus your energy in a more productive way.  Examine your reasons for sexually harassing women.  Do you want to look good in front of your buddies?  Perhaps you need new friends, or give your old friends a heads-up about why sexual harassment is wrong. Does it make you feel strong, powerful, in control?  Your insecurity is no excuse for sexual harassment.  Talk to a therapist if you struggle with the need to feel “manly” or “tough.” Do you feel entitled to touch or talk about a woman's body without her permission?  This is a symptom of male privilege, the ability of men to do and say things that women cannot because society judges people of different genders with different yardsticks.  Consider how you would feel if someone touched and tried to coerce you into something you did not want to do. Whatever your reason, ask why you think it’s acceptable and find a way to undermine the assumptions upon which you’ve justified sexual harassment. There are consequences for you and consequences for her.  There can be emotional, physical, or legal repercussions for sexual harassment depending on the severity and specific circumstances of the situation.  Some of these consequences include:  You may later feel embarrassed when you realize how rude you’ve been.  In addition to negative feelings, you may open yourself up to legal action, especially in the case of ongoing sexual harassment of one individual. Women who experience sexual harassment feel angry, trapped, and frustrated.  Victims of sexual harassment will feel less safe and often have to adjust their travel routes and schedules in order to avoid certain times of the day (especially late at night) or certain places (near bars, colleges, and restaurants) where sexual harassment is a frequent occurrence. Cultural acceptance of sexual harassment leads to rape, domestic violence, and other forms of female disempowerment which women around the world have to confront daily. Imagine you are one of the one in four women who experience sexual harassment in the street before the age of 12 (or one of the one in two women harassed on the street by age 17).  How would you feel?  Victims of sexual harassment often describe the experience as one in which they feel powerless, afraid, angry, and alone.  Stop believing the lie that women enjoy harassment.  Just because she smiles doesn't mean she likes it; in fact, a smile is most likely a fear response in the hopes that the situation won’t escalate into threats, violence, stalking, rape, or murder.  Sexual harassment threatens a woman's sense of safety, and it is never okay. Use the following guiding questions to think carefully about life as  a woman under the constant threat of sexual harassment:  Would you like to worry about what you are wearing before going out because you might be "asking for it?" What would it feel like to live according to a "rape schedule" – leaving bars and other venues early to ensure you are not alone in the parking lot after dark? Do you think your sister, mother, or female friends would appreciate catcalls, staring, or unwanted groping?  Would you? Changing habits is hard. Motivate yourself to stop the harassment.  Wear a rubber band around your wrist and lightly snap it against your wrist when you feel the urge to harass.  Have a stress ball in your pocket to distract yourself when you're feeling the urge to touch someone inappropriately.  Conversely, when you go for a week without making a sexual comment or joke which might make women feel awkward or uncomfortable, give yourself a pat on the back and a little reward. As time goes on and you become more sensitive to the reality of sexual harassment, elongate the period of time you wait to reward yourself for speaking and acting free of sexual harassment. Give a detailed verbal apology to any woman you realize you were harassing.  Explain that you now realize the error of your ways, and have learned that women deserve respect.  A display of penitence will make the women you harassed feel somewhat better, and after a big apology, you will think twice about making lewd comments, gestures, or touches.
A: Question your motives. Understand the consequences of sexual harassment. Empathize. Discipline yourself. Make amends.

Article: Even something as simple as shutting off the lights when you leave a room can help to save energy. Turn off the lights that are not being used in classrooms and other areas, such as empty bathrooms and unoccupied multi-purpose rooms.   Try organizing a student “light patrol” to check empty classrooms, labs, and other spaces to make sure the lights are off when they’re not in use. If you are a teacher, remind your students by saying, “Did you know that 90% of the energy that lightbulbs use is expended as heat? If we turn off lights when we don’t need them, we can save energy and keep rooms cooler.” Try doing this at a time when the students will remember it, like just before leaving the classroom or as you are turning off some lights. It may not always be necessary for you to have the lights on in your classroom. There may be times of the day when the sun is especially bright and sufficient for what you are doing in your classroom. Other times of the day, you might only need half of the lights.   If you are a student, ask your teacher if it is okay to work with fewer lights on. For example, you could approach your teacher and say something like, “The sun is so bright today. Would it be okay if we opened the blinds and turned off some or all of the lights to save energy?” If you are a teacher, try asking your students, “Can everyone see okay?” Replacing all of the incandescent bulbs in your school with compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) can translate to big energy savings for your school. If you’re a student, talk to your teacher or your school principal about switching to CFLs.  CFLs consume a little more energy than incandescent bulbs when you first turn them on, but after the bulb is on, they use 70% less energy than an incandescent bulb.  Make sure that you do not switch CFL bulbs off and on too much. It is best to leave them on for 15 minutes or longer to save more energy.

Article: One common myth claims you need to eat 6+ meals a day to encourage glycogen storage, or replenish amino acids, or prevent catabolism. A thorough look at the evidence demolishes these ideas. What matters is the amount of calories and nutrients you consume, not how you spread it throughout the day. If you feel better and work out harder on 3-4 larger meals a day, go for it. Many bodybuilders overstate the importance of breakfast. In fact, eating in the morning has no extra effect on muscle mass compared to eating at other times. You should eat a healthy, protein-rich breakfast, but choose your portion size and mealtimes based on what makes you alert and ready to work out.
