Problem: Article: Most men prefer shorter hairstyles. If you're not ready to give up your long, feminine locks, try tying them back in a ponytail or sporting a "man bun." If you want to cut your hair short, familiarize yourself with the names of different men's hairstyles before getting it cut. Taper Cut- A short haircut with the sides and back of the head cut progressively shorter down toward the neck. Bowl Cut- Longer hair around the top of the head, shorter hair around the lower part of the head, with little or no blending in between the two lengths. Looks like someone placed a bowl on your head and simply cut around it. Brush Cut- Short, tapered hair around the sides of the head, uniform in length at the top of the head. Hair at the top of the head is styled straight up to resemble the bristles of a brush. Business Man's Cut- Generic term for a shorter (but not too short), conservative haircut, appropriate for the office. Hair is short and tapered around the sides and longer at the top to allow for a part. Caesar Cut- Back and sides are tapered, while hair at the top of the head is layered one to two inches in length. The top hair is combed forward giving the effect of bangs. Crew Cut- Very short cut that is tapered on the back and sides and top of the head. Fade- Extremely tapered cut, with hair on the sides and back cut very close to the head and tapered upward to a longer length at the top of the head. Flat Top- Back and sides are very tapered, while hair on the top is cut to stand straight up. There are several different kinds of hairstyling products that can help to maintain a masculine hairstyle. Each product is used to achieve a specific look. Pomade- Use on shorter styles, to create texture. Wax- Use to add shine. Mud- Use on longer styles, to create a "disheveled" look. Cream- Use to control frizz. Gel- Use for a strong hold or to create a "wet" look. Hairspray- Use to add volume and greater control to hair. With shorter hairstyles, men need to be more conscious of the hair on the backs of their necks and the way their sideburns look. They have less hair to hide under than most women do. Be sure to talk to your barber about how you want your neck hair and sideburns cut and shaped.
Summary: Wear your hair short. Use men's hairstyling products. Cut your neck hair and sideburns.

Problem: Article: Before you do anything else, consider how you can use existing architecture to hang and anchor the lights. For instance, the roof of your home, trees on your property, fence posts along borders, and patio structures or awnings can be utilized to hang outdoor lights so that you don't have to create separate posts to mount/anchor them to. For example, string lights between your home and garage over your lawn. Alternatively, hang lights between your deck and posts you place throughout the yard. Obviously, you'll need to be able to plug in the lights, so consider where the outdoor electrical outlets are located on your property. You'll need to begin near an outlet with enough voltage to power the strings you want to use. Use an outlet on a circuit that does not have a lot of equipment plugged into it. If you plug too much equipment into one circuit, you'll trip the breaker and it will shut the power off. You may want taut strings or draping lines. Common patterns for outdoor lights include straight lines, v patterns or diamonds, x patterns, and checkerboards. Think about how much light you need and where you want to concentrate it. Also, consider how far from the ground the lights should be so that people can easily walk underneath them, if applicable. For example, you may want to zigzag a string of lights over your fire pit or patio area. Alternatively, you could wind strings of lights between patio posts. Use eaves, beams, posts, or trees for mounting points. Pick mounting points at regular intervals, such as every 5 feet (1.5m). Use at least 2 mounting points per string, and make sure that each mounting point is at the same height. You can purchase guide wire, wire rope clamps, eye to eye turnbuckles, zip ties, and screw hooks to add extra stability if you're stringing the lights between structures. Or, for a simpler attachment, you can use a staple gun to secure the strings of lights directly to wooden fixtures. If you don't have enough existing beams, structures, or trees, you can easily make wooden posts to anchor the lights to. Put 4 by 4in (10 by 10cm) wooden posts of the desired height in stainless steel buckets. Mix cement and pour it into the buckets. Allow the cement to dry completely, then place the buckets around your property at the desired mounting points. String is the perfect tool to help you determine how many lights you'll need. Run a string from the outlet you intend to use to each mounting point. Then, measure the string to determine how long the light string should be or many sets of strings you'll need to complete the pattern. There are many different types of string lights, from icicle and fairy lights to globe or rope lights. Choose what you like best, and make sure you get a little more than enough to create the pattern you mapped out. Always buy lights designed specifically for outdoor locations to ensure they can withstand the elements. Star-shaped string lights would provide soft light and enhance the outdoor ambience. Colored lights would provide a party-like feel to your outdoor space, and could be tailored to holiday colors.
Summary: Use existing architecture. Factor in outlet locations. Design a pattern for the lights. Choose your mounting points. Decide how to anchor the lights. Install wooden posts to anchor the lights to, if necessary. Measure the desired pattern using string. Buy enough outdoor lights to cover the pattern and a few spares.

Problem: Article: If it is possible, open a dialogue with your aggressor to try to learn his point of view. Ask him questions like, "Is there something specific I did to offend you?" or, "What can I do to make things right between us?" Do not be condescending or argumentative; instead, be understanding and empathetic. It may be difficult to face your adversary, so you could try texting or emailing. However, written words may have a different tone than your true intent, and may be taken the wrong way. Show compassion towards your adversary directly and indirectly. She might be going through a difficult time in her life or lack the skills to deal with certain situations appropriately. Recognize that your adversary is human and has feelings. Try to open your heart to your enemy and put yourself in her shoes to get an idea how she might be feeling. When you choose to forgive someone, recognize that this does not mean your adversary forgives you. You have no control over the actions and feelings of your adversary. Yet, this does not control your decision to forgive. Give up the feeling of control by surrendering yourself and trusting that things will work out. Surrender the grasp you think you have on your adversary to help yourself forgive him. Forgiveness and reconciliation differ greatly because reconciliation requires both parties to work together, whereas forgiveness only requires yourself. Forgiving someone doesn't mean letting her off the hook, it simply means that you accept what happened and you are willing to move on. To "forgive and forget" may not be the best strategy. It is good to remember what your adversary has done to you so that you can learn from the experience and recognize it if it happens again.
Summary:
Talk to the person. Be compassionate. Recognize that you are not in control of your adversary. Understand that forgiveness is up to you.
