Q: Part of your job as a business analyst is to gather and assess information regarding the business itself. You may be able to use your own data collections methods or you may end up relying on data provided to you by others. Either way, you need to be efficient and flexible when looking over the available information.  For example, you might discover that job that remained unfilled was the cause of breakdown in the chain of command. You are looking for weaknesses and strengths when you assess. After you’ve looked over the data, you will want to craft a single report, or even multiple reports, describing a set of possible solutions. When you are a business analyst, you should try to dig deeply into any potential problems by asking the standard who, what, when, where, why, and how questions. The answers will help you to craft a solution that helps the many over the few. For example, if you find that the progress of paperwork markedly slows down in one department, you might suggest bypassing that area altogether or sending more resources their way to speed up the process. You will need to act as the intermediary between the company and the shareholders. This means communicating important information to them in both formal and informal settings. They will expect to see clear, evidence-based solutions with traceable results.  You will touch base with your shareholders frequently to see what they expect from each project. It is possible to do this with both group sessions and private interviews.  Working with shareholders will involve a fair amount of tact and diplomacy. You will want to work around disagreements quickly and recover quickly if a project falls through. The best business analysts are comfortable talking with anyone in the company about pretty much anything. You will be especially close with technology-based departments as you will need to balance shareholder expectations with the realities of that sector. Recognizing and working around the limitations of IT is a behavior that will bring you additional loyalty from those workers, which may make future projects easier. For example, if an executive wants a computer program to perform a certain task, you will need to work with the IT specialists in order to find a good option that is available and appropriate. You will want to ask a ton of questions. This is especially the case when you are presented with a new project or when you meet a new person. By asking questions, you get important information that you can pass along to others, thus improving the efficiency of a company. Being curious about others' views will also let them help you to identify possible problems and solutions. For example, you might ask an associate, “Why do you follow that protocol?” Or, you could say, “How would you describe the company’s chain of command?”
A: Complete frequent company evaluations. Recommend changes and improvements. Communicate with stakeholders. Work with all levels. Stay curious.

Article: If you want to become a prodigy, you'll need to pursue your passions. If you decide to work in a field that fascinates you, you're more likely to be motivated to develop the skill set necessary to becoming a prodigy.  What inspires and fascinates you? What has always been interesting to you, ever since childhood? If you start with a field you already have some knowledge and interest in, you'll have a head start in developing the skills of a prodigy.  Do you already have some skills due to hobbies? Do you sketch casually? Play the piano on the weekends? If you choose to work on a skill you're already somewhat proficient at, your practice will be of higher quality. There is no quick and easy way to develop the skills necessary to become a prodigy. You'll simply need to practice as much as possible.  Focus when you practice. Keep your mind in the here and now. All you need to do is complete this one skill in this one moment. Do not let your mind wander to other things during practice sessions.  Incorporate practice into your day-to-day life. Make time for practicing in your schedule as you would brushing your teeth at night or showering in the morning. People are often controlled by fear. If you fear failure or mediocrity, this can hold you back from developing new skills and pursuing your passion. Try to have confidence in yourself at all times. Be confident, bold, and willing to try new things even if you'll sometimes fail in the process. Fearing failure or less than perfect results will only hold you back as you attempt to become a prodigy. You cannot achieve the talents of a prodigy without guidance. Find the best teacher possible if your goal is to become a prodigy.  How you find the right teacher depends greatly on the skill set you're working to build. If you want to be a writing prodigy, for example, consider applying for a top-tier Master of Fine Arts program, such as the Iowa Writer's Workshop, in order to gain access to great teachers. If you want to be a ballet prodigy, look into prestigious dance schools. You do not necessarily need to look into higher education to find a great teacher. You can also simply connect with people in your field through networking and socialization. If you're interested in filmmaking, for example, attend a film festival and try to meet directors and producers. Introduce yourself and try to make a good impression. You can find contacts and mentors at these events.

Problem: Article: Most people cut across the width of a lemon. Instead of doing that, make a vertical cut down the center of each lemon. It makes the lemon halves easier to squeeze, allowing you to get a little more juice out of them. Electric juicers are similar to the spiked manual ones. Push the cut end of the lemon onto the spike in the center, then turn on the juicer. The spike rotates to make as much juice as possible. The only downside is that it also cuts up the pith you may not want in your juice.  If you need to remove the pith, you can pour the juice through a strainer. Some blenders and stand mixers have juicer attachments. Connect the attachment to your device for a quick way to create lemon juice!
Summary: Cut the lemons lengthwise in half with a sharp knife. Put the lemon in an electric juicer if you don’t mind pulp.

Q: A high-fiber diet can prevent gallstones and aid weight loss. Foods high in fiber include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Some easy ways to include more fiber in your diet include:  Switching from white bread to whole wheat bread. Eating oatmeal in the morning instead of cereal. Snacking on raw vegetables like carrots or broccoli. Replacing white rice with brown rice. Eating fresh fruit as a dessert. Healthy fats include unsaturated fat and omega-3 fatty acids. These can be found in fish, olive oil, and nuts. Avoid unhealthy fats, however, like saturated and trans fats. These are found in fried foods, fatty meats, and baked goods. These types of fats can actually increase your risk of gallstones.  Nuts, such as peanuts or cashews, may be able to help reduce gallstone attacks. Try eating 1 ounce (28 g) of nuts several times a week. Try replacing solid fats, like butter and margarine, with liquid fats, like olive oil and flaxseed oil. Other foods high in healthy fats include avocados, natural peanut butter, and pumpkin seeds. Magnesium deficiency may be a cause of gallstones in men. The best way to get magnesium is from food, such as almonds, bananas, peas, or milk. You can also use magnesium supplements, but be careful not to take too high of a dose. Take no more than 350 mg a day. Always talk to your doctor before starting supplements. Some vitamin and mineral supplements may reduce the effectiveness of medication or cause side effects. Vitamin C may reduce the frequency of gallstones. You can get Vitamin C from a variety of foods, including citrus, broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, and fortified grains. You can also take a daily supplement or multivitamin containing Vitamin C.
A:
Increase the fiber in your diet. Choose healthy fats instead of saturated or trans fats. Consume foods high in magnesium. Increase your Vitamin C intake.
