Each week, set aside time for friends and family. You can begin by going out to lunch once a week with your best friend, or your mom or dad. Discuss with them what you did during the week, including positive and negative experiences. To keep the conversation going, remember to ask them how their week went as well. Alternatively, you can join a volunteer or church group, or join an intramural sports team to fulfill your weekly face-to-face interaction time. Look for groups or situations where the intention is to be fully present. This way, you don't end up around others that have a Twitter addiction. Breathing exercises are particularly helpful if you are struggling with stress and anxiety. Whenever anxiety or stress triggers you to check Twitter, practice breathing exercises instead. Sit down and close your eyes. Breathe in through your nose, filling your stomach with air. Then breathe out through your mouth, contracting your stomach. Practice this for one minute, or until the urge to check your Twitter subsides. As you exhale, imagine that you are dispelling any and all negative thoughts and behavior. Whenever you feel the urge to check your Twitter, take a break from whatever you are doing and go outside. Take 15 minutes to walk around and breathe in the fresh air. You can even ask a friend, family member, or coworker to join you on your walk. The company will distract you and help you pass the time. Fill in any extra time you have with a new hobby instead of Twitter. Begin a novel, get a gym membership, or take a class at your local community college. You could also take up writing, or learn an instrument or a new language. Once you make your new hobby a habit, you will have a much easier time overcoming your Twitter addiction.

One-sentence summary -- Spend more time with your friends and family. Practice breathing exercises. Go take a walk outside. Find a new hobby.

Q: Make an appointment with your dentist if you notice that your gums are bleeding or irritated throughout the day. You can also bring up this issue with your dentist when you see them every 6 months for a cleaning. You can ask that your dentist discuss all of the possible treatment options with you. Your dentist will likely order annual x-rays for you. This helps them to determine if you are suffering from any deeper dental diseases or conditions. If you delay seeking out care or skip regular dental cleanings, then it's possible that your gums may worsen and require more aggressive treatment. Bleeding gums after brushing and a moving gum line are both signs of gingivitis, an illness of the gums. This can develop into periodontitis, a serious gum disease, if not addressed quickly. Your dentist might suggest that you use a prescription antimicrobial mouthwash. You may need to use this mouthwash after each brushing, or maybe just at the end of each day. Some prescription mouthwashes are fairly straightforward to use, while others have more complicated directions, such as shaking or mixing with water. You can expect that your gums may feel a bit tingly or sensitive after using prescription mouthwash. This is normal, as the mouthwash is irrigating bacteria out from the pockets surrounding your teeth. If your dentist is concerned that a secondary infection is causing your gum irritation, then they may give you some medication. This medication could come in pill or liquid form. Make sure to read the instructions carefully and call your dentist right away with any questions. It's important to take the full cycle of any antibiotics, even if you feel better after only a few days. If you are suffering from periodontitis or if your gums have receded too much, then it's likely that your dentist will suggest a restorative surgery. There are a number of different types of gum surgery, so talk with your dentist or oral surgeon in detail about the procedure. With flap surgery, for example, your gums are lifted out and placed further up the tooth. With soft tissue graft surgery, some mouth tissue is moved to your gum line. Certain health issues, such as diabetes and hormonal changes, can make your gums swollen and irritated. This is also the case for autoimmune disorders, which can lead to tenderness without any bleeding. Talk to your primary care physician about your gum symptoms and how to manage these illnesses.
A: Talk with your dentist. Treat it quickly. Use a prescription mouthwash. Take any prescribed antibiotics as directed. Agree to gum repair surgery. Treat any underlying illnesses.

Article: If you want to create well-defined lines and edges, holding it like you would normally hold a pencil is your best bet. This stroke allows you to make sure that only the point of the charcoal is coming in contact with the paper. Apply more pressure to your stoke to get a solid, darker line. The easiest way to do this is to hold the charcoal with your thumb and forefinger, with your palm facing down. This lets you create broader strokes without smearing your work. Use a broad, sweeping motion to fill in larger areas on your paper. One of the hardest parts about learning to draw with charcoal is to keep your wrist away from the page. Try to make your strokes using your shoulder and elbow instead of your wrist to give yourself a wider range of motion and to keep from accidentally smudging your work.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Hold the charcoal like a pencil to get sharp edges. Place the charcoal on its side to create broader strokes. Let your shoulder and elbow lead your strokes.

Article: If you have a 3000w amp playing three 1000w subs, but they really sound weak, then it's time to get more power. Alternatively, play the bass as loud as you can and see if your dome lights dim or not. If they barely flicker, then your power is manageable, but if they almost go dark with each bass note, then it's time for more power. Although wet cells can be used, they could spill battery acid in your car if they leak. Dry cell batteries are a better choice if you can afford them. Dry cells have no battery acid and are extremely safe in a vehicle. Connect the batteries in the car with a large ground wire and ground it in metal. You don't have to run it into the engine bay; any good metal ground will do. Be sure to put them in a sequence: first battery connected to the main in engine bay and last battery connected to the amp(s). By getting a larger alternator that puts of more amperage, your battery will be continuously and quickly charged. Whenever massive amounts of power is needed, it's directed from the alternator much more than the battery, giving you more power. A good 220-amp alternator can really make a difference in sound quality and bass. You just have to find it for a good price and have it installed.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Determine whether you need multiple batteries and capacitors. The cheapest way to fix a major power problem is with more batteries. To install multiple batteries (or capacitors), connect the main battery in the engine bay with the another one elsewhere in the car that has a large, low gauge wire (like a 4 or 2). Systematically connect the next battery by running a wire from the first battery power, to the second battery power, and so on until you reach the last battery. Connect the last battery to the amp(s) with a separate wire. You can upgrade your alternator, if you don't want numerous batteries or capacitors to take up space in your car.
