Summarize the following:
It’s normal to feel overwhelmed in general and just want some help. However, you’ll be better prepared to ask for help if you can clearly articulate your needs. For example, maybe you’ve recently had surgery and need a lot of help just getting things done. Your list might look like this:  Go to the grocery store Take the kids to dentist appointments Walk the dog Help with depression Assign a number from 1-10 to each need. A 10 means that this task is essential, a 1 means that it is not that important. This will help you figure out your most pressing needs. You can start with getting help for those, and then work your way down the list. For example, it’s normal to struggle with depression after a surgery. That would be rated a 10, since it can impact your ability to take care of other needs. While it might seem daunting to ask for help, remember that there are likely plenty of people in your life who will be more than happy to help you. Start with family and close friends and then think about other parts of your network. Your list might include:  Your partner Your siblings Your children Your best friend Your neighbors Now it is time to compare your lists. Choose which person to ask for help with each task. Maybe your sister is a therapist. Ask her for some ideas about how to cope with depression. If your kids are old enough, they can walk the dog. Ask your partner to take a break from work to make sure the kids get to the dentist. Ask your neighbor if they would mind picking up a few things at the grocery store the next time they make a run. Choose people based on their abilities and their relationship to you. This is called delegating tasks. Delegating tasks to people you trust can help you reduce stress, especially in times when you need extra help. It is important to remember that it is not weak to ask for help. In fact, it shows that you are strong enough to voice your own needs. You won’t be able to do much good for others if you don’t ask for the help you need. It’s also smart to ask for help. If you don’t, you might find your situation worsening instead of getting better.

summary: Make a list of what you need. Rate the importance of each need. Write down a list of people who could help you. Match each person with one specific need. Recognize that it is healthy and smart to ask for help.


Summarize the following:
Ask your doctor to identify your particular kind. It is important to know which particular type you have had, so you can work on specific ways to prevent it from recurring. Ensure your doctor checks your parathyroid to rule it out as a factor in the formation of kidney stones.  Calcium stones are caused by unused calcium not flushed out in urine and is collected in the kidneys. They then combine with other waste material to form stones. The most typical and overall most common kind of calcium stone is calcium oxalate. Calcium phosphate stones are not as common, but they are more problematic because they tend to be both larger and harder, making them more difficult to treat. Struvite stones can form after a urinary infection. They are made of magnesium and ammonia. Uric acid stones are caused by having too much acid in the body. Cutting back on meat in your diet will help stop the formation of uric acid stones. Symptoms are often associated with gout, and are treated with similar remedies for gout. The formation of cystine stones is not common and tends to runs in families. Cystine is an amino acid, and certain people inherit large amounts of it. Because you have had a kidney stone in the past, you are at a higher risk for recurrence. See if there are risk factors you may not be aware of. Download the following app to assess your risk (http://www.qxmd.com/calculate-online/nephrology/recurrence-of-kidney-stone-roks). You should talk to you doctor more about your risk factors. Your doctor can help you develop a plan to reduce your risk of more kidney stones, depending on the type of kidney stone you passed and your age, gender, and family medical history. Most will include dietary changes, an increase in intake of liquid, and in very specific cases, medication or even surgery.

summary: Determine which kind of kidney stone you have had. Determine your future risk. Consult your doctor.


Summarize the following:
In the formula, xn{\displaystyle x_{n}} = the term in the sequence you are trying to find, n{\displaystyle n} = the position number of the term in the sequence, and ϕ{\displaystyle \phi } = the golden ratio.  This is a closed formula, so you will be able to calculate a specific term in the sequence without calculating all the previous ones. This formula is a simplified formula derived from Binet’s Fibonacci number formula.  The formula utilizes the golden ratio (ϕ{\displaystyle \phi }), because the ratio of any two successive numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are very similar to the golden ratio. The n{\displaystyle n} represents whatever term you are looking for in the sequence. For example, if you are looking for the fifth number in the sequence, plug in 5. Your formula will now look like this: x5{\displaystyle x_{5}}=ϕ5−(1−ϕ)55{\displaystyle {\frac {\phi ^{5}-(1-\phi )^{5}}{\sqrt {5}}}}. You can use 1.618034 as an approximation of the golden ratio. For example, if you are looking for the fifth number in the sequence, the formula will now look like this: x5{\displaystyle x_{5}}=(1.618034)5−(1−1.618034)55{\displaystyle {\frac {(1.618034)^{5}-(1-1.618034)^{5}}{\sqrt {5}}}}. Remember to use the order of operations by completing the calculation in parentheses first: 1−1.618034=−0.618034{\displaystyle 1-1.618034=-0.618034}. In the example, the equation becomes x5{\displaystyle x_{5}}=(1.618034)5−(−0.618034)55{\displaystyle {\frac {(1.618034)^{5}-(-0.618034)^{5}}{\sqrt {5}}}}. Multiply the two parenthetical numbers in the numerator by the appropriate exponent. In the example, 1.6180345=11.090170{\displaystyle 1.618034^{5}=11.090170}; −0.6180345=−0.090169{\displaystyle -0.618034^{5}=-0.090169}. So the equation becomes x5=11.090170−(−0.090169)5{\displaystyle x_{5}={\frac {11.090170-(-0.090169)}{\sqrt {5}}}}. Before you divide, you need to subtract the two numbers in the numerator. In the example, 11.090170−(−0.090169)=11.180339{\displaystyle 11.090170-(-0.090169)=11.180339}, so the equation becomes x5{\displaystyle x_{5}}=11.1803395{\displaystyle {\frac {11.180339}{\sqrt {5}}}}. The square root of 5, rounded, is 2.236067. In the example problem, 11.1803392.236067=5.000002{\displaystyle {\frac {11.180339}{2.236067}}=5.000002}. Your answer will be a decimal, but it will be very close to a whole number. This whole number represents the number in the Fibonacci sequence.  If you used the complete golden ratio and did no rounding, you would get a whole number. It’s more practical to round, however, which will result in a decimal.  In the example, after using a calculator to complete all the calculations, your answer will be approximately 5.000002. Rounding to the nearest whole number, your answer, representing the fifth number in the Fibonacci sequence, is 5.
summary: Set up the formula xn{\displaystyle x_{n}}=ϕn−(1−ϕ)n5{\displaystyle {\frac {\phi ^{n}-(1-\phi )^{n}}{\sqrt {5}}}}. Plug the number for n{\displaystyle n} into the formula. Substitute the golden ratio into the formula. Complete the calculations in parentheses. Calculate the exponents. Complete the subtraction. Divide by the square root of 5. Round to the nearest whole number.
