INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Acknowledge and appreciate each student individually, for the qualities which make them unique and wonderful human beings. Encourage those qualities. You should also make each student feel like they have something to offer and contribute. This will raise their confidence and help them to find their proper path in life. Even if students make only occasional, small efforts, those efforts need to be acknowledged and appreciated. Tell them when they've done a good job, individually, and mean it. Don't be patronizing, be appreciative. If they've worked particularly hard, reward them. A student who's managed to raise their grade from a D to a B+, for example, may have earned the right to pump their grade to an A with "extra credit" for the magnificent amount of work that would have been required to accomplish such a feat. It is extremely important to respect your students. It doesn't matter if they're graduate students working on a doctoral thesis or kindergartners: treat them like intelligent, capable human beings. Respect that they have ideas, emotions, and lives that extend beyond your classroom. Treat them with dignity and they will extend the same to you.

SUMMARY: Make them feel unique and needed. Recognize their efforts. Give respect.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Tap the Messenger app icon, which resembles a bolt of lightning on a speech bubble. If prompted, enter your phone number and Facebook password to log in before continuing. This house-shaped icon is in the bottom-left corner of the screen. It's either in the top-left corner of the screen (iPhone) or in the top-right corner of the screen (Android). This option is down on the middle of the page. If contact sync is off, you'll see a white switch (iPhone) or "Off" below the Sync option (Android). Tap the switch or Sync to enable contact sync, which will add any Messenger users in your contacts list to Messenger for you. If you see a green switch (iPhone) or the word "On" below Sync, your phone's contacts are already synced to Messenger. If you're on an iPhone, you may first have to enable contacts access for Messenger. To do so, open Settings, scroll down and tap Messenger, and tap the white Contacts switch to turn it on.

SUMMARY: Open Facebook Messenger. Tap the Home tab. Tap the "Profile" icon. Tap People. Sync your phone's contacts.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Pour 4 cups water into a medium size sauce pan. Place the sauce pan on the stovetop. Turn the burner on high and bring the water to a boil. The pan you use must have a tight-fitting lid. Instead of water, use chicken, beef, or vegetable broth. Pour 1 cup wild rice into a mesh strainer. Rinse the wild rice under cold water. Rinsing the wild rice will remove any remaining hulls from the seeds. 1 cup uncooked wild rice will yield between 3 to 4 cups cooked wild rice. Pour the rinsed wild rice into the medium sauce pan. As the water returns to a boil, stir the wild rice periodically. At this time you can add a variety of seasonings to your wild rice. These include salt, pepper, lemon pepper, and/or bouillon cubes. When the water starts to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Place a tight-fitting lid on the sauce pan. Let the wild rice simmer until the seeds puff up and split. This will take approximately 30 to 60 minutes. Check the wild rice periodically, but do not stir. Remove the sauce pan from the heat. Take off the lid and fluff, or stir, the wild rice with a table fork. Pour the cooked wild rice into a mesh strainer to remove excess liquid. Transfer the wild rice to a dish and serve. If your wild rice is holding a lot of liquid, return the strained seeds to the uncovered sauce pan. Cook the wild rice over low heat for approximately 1 minute and then serve.

SUMMARY: Boil water. Measure and rinse the rice. Add the wild rice to the sauce pan. Reduce the heat and cover. Fluff, drain, and serve.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your cars are still operating in traffic, signal remorse by waving or mouthing "I'm sorry." It is possible that you did nothing wrong, but your priority should be to deescalate the situation rather than sort out blame accurately. Apologize. If you are stopped and the driver approaches you, acknowledge you were wrong. Do this even if their anger is disproportionate, or if you do not think you were wrong. This is hard to do, but letting them "win" could quickly bring further problems to a short end. Your main goal should be to stay safe, rather than to win an argument. Avoid inflammatory statements, and allow the driver to feel like they have gotten what they wanted. Give up a parking space even if you were there first, let the other driver merge into your lane even if it isn't their turn, give more breathing room between your cars, or leave the fast lane even if you are driving at the correct speed. Ignore insults. The enraged driver may insult you. Remember that they are angry and that their insults do not truly apply to you. Do not reciprocate when insulted. Calmly but assertively state that a neutral authority should resolve the conflict. In some cases, you may be just as angry as the other driver. Before you engage in direct confrontation, take basic steps to calm your own nerves. Breathe deeply, counting each time you inhale to ten. Remind yourself of who you are beyond the stressful moment. Think about how your family, friends, or coworkers expect you to act. Think about something that you are looking forward to. Look past the unpleasant moment and remember that it will be over soon. After the incident, when you've calmed down, reexamine the events that took place. Determine if you did anything wrong or if a specific action may have helped cause the other driver's anger. Now that you are safe, it doesn't matter who was at fault. Simply determine if there is something that you can do differently next time to avoid triggering other motorist's rage.

SUMMARY:
Show remorse. Let the other driver win. Calm yourself. Analyze your driving.
