Get to know your workers and encourage feedback regarding what they like and do not like at work.  If many workers cite a similar workplace element as positive, work to expand or emphasize it.  For instance, if many workers like the automatic staplers because they are superior to manual staplers, get a few more and stash them around the office in accessible locations. Conversely, if many workers find something at work irritating or unpleasant, work to remedy or remove it. For instance, if your workers do not like the piped-in music played over the loudspeakers, turn it off and replace it with different music. Never leave concerns unanswered, or offer vague or dismissive answers along the lines of, “That isn’t important.” Whenever possible, ask for feedback before implementing new policies – especially those that affect workers.  If your proposed changes meet widespread resistance, amend or toss them.  Bad policies and feelings of powerlessness destroy workplace morale. When your workers do a great job, let them know.  Say “Thanks for doing that” or “Great job” regularly.  Provide more formal recognition when the scale of the accomplishment is greater.  For instance, if one worker, or a team of workers, has been pulling double duty to meet a deadline, call a meeting and ask them to stand.  Lead the group in a round of applause for their efforts. If your staff attains some significant milestone – for instance, perhaps they’ve manufactured a combined one million widgets for automobiles – draw attention to this accomplishment in your regularly scheduled meetings or in the employee newsletter. If you are not in a management position, you can create positive morale in the workplace by congratulating your coworkers when they receive positive recognition, and by thanking them for helping you out. Generally, provide more positive than negative feedback.  If there is something wrong with a worker’s performance, let them know in a private place.  Do not embarrass or berate them in front of their peers.  Emphasize your worker’s strengths and avoid accusatory language.  If your workers need to change something, describe the behavior you want to change rather than the worker.  If you are not in a management position, you can create positive morale in the workplace by being sensitive to your coworkers’ feelings.  Do not accuse them of being lazy or sloppy in their work.  Instead, use positive language and gentle suggestions to alert them to your displeasure. For instance, if your coworker wants feedback on a low-quality project, you might say, “This could use a little more work.” Do not dance around an issue or use vague language when describing a problem.  This is especially true if there is a development that affects everyone in your place of work.  For instance, if your company experiences a merger or bankruptcy, let your workers know as soon as possible either in an email or a meeting.  This will help maintain trust and boost morale, even in difficult times.

Summary: Solicit advice from your workers. Float new policies by your workers. Congratulate staff on their accomplishments. Be sensitive in your workplace communication. Be clear and direct in your workplace communications.


If you feel your pulse rate quickening, or your bicep flexing, you might be brushing too hard.  Enamel is broken down via "toothbrush abrasion" and exposes dentin.  If you're brushing vigorously, it could lead to increased tooth sensitivity and receding gums. Teeth whitening products often use hydrogen peroxide which wears down the enamel and could penetrate into any existing decay or inner areas of the tooth.  Aside from potential pain and sensitivity, whitening does not affect various dental restorations such as crowns or porcelain veneers, which could cause multi-colored teeth, negating any vanity aspects of the procedure. Symptoms vary according to the nature, frequency and duration of excessive clenching and grinding. Aside from general sensitivity, grinding can include pain in the teeth, chronic muscular facial pain with tension headaches, flattened tooth surfaces, micro fractures of the tooth enamel, broken or chipped teeth, pain in the jaw joint that cause restricted opening and difficult chewing. If grinding is an old habit, you might usually have an increased development of the masseter and temporal muscles that change the look of your face, making your face seem muscular and always tense. Post dental treatment sensitivity can be created by inflammation and very subtle movement within and between teeth.  If you recently had a procedure done at the dentist, there is a possibility of sensitivity. Acidic foods and drinks (e.g. tomatoes, pickles, fruits, soda) can wear down enamel if consumed regularly and in abundance.  They may also be the culprits behind some acid reflux, which can also erode enamel.

Summary: Brush your teeth. Stop using whitening/bleaching products. Cease grinding your teeth. Review your calendar. Diagnose your diet.


Showing that you care about someone’s emotional and physical well-being is an important gesture; it lets them know that they can continue to come to you for emotional support, and that there is trust and familiarity in the relationship. To remind someone you care, try:   Send them a card or an email reminding them they’re on your mind. Come straight out and say something like, “You’re an important part of my life.” While supporting the people in your life is a valuable interpersonal skill, it does not replace a need for professional mental care.   If the person you are caring for suffers from depression or another type of mental illness, they may need more assistance than your support provides.   Focus on how you can help the person rather than trying to solve their problems for them. For example, if the person has lost his home and job, then you can help the person with a job search, but do not do the job search work for him. Sit down with him and help him with the search, application process, deciding what to wear for an interview, etc. Do not try to replace a medical or mental health professional. For example, if the person has schizophrenia, then do not try to manage the person’s condition without medical assistance. By supporting this individual, you have made a decision to support them over a long period of time. There will be setbacks and difficult times—when this person wants to express frustration, sadness, or is upset, be there for them.  When this person is angry, let them cry or vent, rather than trying to improve their emotions or make them feel happy. If this person feels like their situation is hopeless, assure them that they will pull through regardless of how tough things seem right now. Try saying something like, “I know things might seem bad right now, but this is only a temporary setback. Things will get better.”

Summary: Remind someone that you care about them. Suggest professional help if someone shows signs of depression. Be available for someone to vent to.


It's in the sidebar to the right.  This is the Properties Output icon. This goes next to "X" and "Y" at the top of the Properties Output Window.  By default, the video output is standard HD (1900 x 1080).  If you want a higher (4K 3840 x 2160) or lower (1280 x 720), you can enter the resolution next in this panel.  The higher the resolution, the longer it will take to render. If you don't see this option in the Properties Output menu, click Dimensions at the top of the panel. Use the menu next to "Frame Rate" to select the frames per second.  30 FPS is standard for film, while 29.97 FPS is standard for YouTube. You can select a number of options between 23.97 FPS, up to 60 FPS.  You can also enter a custom FPS. The menu is below "Output".  Select AVI JPEG to render video in AVI format with each frame compressed using JPEG compression.   AVI RAW will render a video in AVI format with no compression.  This produces large video sizes. You can also select an image format, such as JPEG or PNG and render each frame as a separate image so you can add frames a sequence in a video editor like Adobe Premiere Pro. This prevents you from losing all the frames you've rendered if something goes wrong during the render process. It's in the menu bar in the upper-left corner of Blender 3D. It's the second option in the Render menu.  This begins the process of rendering each frame of the animation.  Be patient.  It can take hours or even days to render a video animation.  You can view the progress in the Render window as it works.
Summary: Click the printer icon. Enter the resolution of your video. Select a frame rate. Select a format from the "File Format" menu. Click Render. Click Render Animation.
