In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Look back over the conflicts you've had with your sister. Identify the source of the issue and take time to think about how these conflicts could have been avoided altogether. Try to pinpoint the times that she has pushed you over the edge and consider how you could you have prevented the fight from escalating to that point. This information will help you identify your limitsthe baseline and peak of your tolerance for your sister. Instead of manipulating you into doing something, you would like her to ask you for help or a favor. For example, when she starts to yell at you, will you walk away from the conversation? Or, if she bullies you, will you tell your parents? If you feel comfortable approaching your big sister, you may find it helpful to talk to her about your boundaries. Make sure she understands that you are setting these boundaries because you want to have a healthy relationship with her. After you share your limits with her, ask if she can respect your boundaries. For example, you could say, "Linda, I want to establish some boundaries with you. I will not tolerate you bullying me any more. When this happens, I will let mom and dad or another adult know right away." Like you, your big sister will also have boundaries. Ask her if there is anything you can do to avoid conflict in the future. Remember, if you expect her to respect your boundaries, you must respect hers. For example, you could say, "Linda, do you have any boundaries for our relationship?"
Summary: Identify your limits. Share your limits with your sister. Respect your sister's limits.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your fins will have three layers of tulle. You can use different colors such as purple and green. You can also use different shades of the same color, such as light green and dark green. Measure from the bottom point of the skirt down to the floor, or wherever you want the tail to end. Add 1 inches (3.81 centimeters) to that length, then cut your tulle according to that width. The tulle needs to be long enough to wrap around the base of your tail, including the V-shape. You will need to cut thee pieces of tulle that are the same length and width. Stack the three pieces of tulle, one on top of the other. Make sure that they are aligned along one of the long edges, then sew down that edge using a -inch (1.27-centimeter) seam allowance. You can also secure the layers using glue instead. Overlap the sewn edge of the tulle with the bottom hem by 1 inches (3.81 centimeters). Position the left edge of the tulle strip on the right side of the V point. You will be working your way along the bottom hem to the other V on the back of the skirt, then repeating the process for the other fin. Draw a 2 to 3-inch (5.08 to 7.62-centimeter) line of hot glue along the hem. Press the tulle down into the glue and let it set. Make a dot of glue on the tulle where you finished gluing. Fold the tulle back, press it into the dot, let it set. Repeat the process until you reach the V point on the back of the skirt. Flatten the tulle and the skirt, then cut an upward curve starting from the bottom, side edge of the tulle, and finishing at the bottom of the skirt's V-point. You don't have to do this, but it will give your tail a more mermaid-like feel. Cut, stack, and sew the tulle using the same colors and layers as before. Line up the right side edge of the tulle with the left side of the skirt's V-point. Pleat and glue the tulle, this time working your way to the left of the skirt. Finish on the back. Both of your pleats should be pointing away from the skirt's V-point. If you cut a curve into the first fin, make sure that you do the same for this one.
Summary: Choose two to three colors or shades of tulle. Measure and cut the tulle. Layer and glue the three layers of tulle together. Turn the skirt inside-out and position the tulle. Glue and pleat the tulle until you reach the back of the skirt. Consider cutting a curve into the tulle. Repeat the entire process, making sure to reverse the pleating.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Diabetes is a group of chronic hormonal disorders that results in too much sugar (glucose) in the blood. There are a number of forms of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder, usually appearing when a person is quite young. Type 2 diabetes is an acquired disorder that used to be considered an adult condition that is unfortunately appearing more and more often in children. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. A third form of diabetes is called gestational diabetes and occurs in the second half of pregnancy and is relatively common, occurring in less than 10% of pregnant women. Some physicians include pre-diabetes as an early form of diabetes. Individuals with prediabetes have higher than normal levels of blood glucose, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetics. Individuals with pre-diabetes (also known as insulin resistance) have a very high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, is the main chemical messenger that "tells" the cells that it is time to take up glucose. Insulin is involved in messaging the liver to take up glucose and transform it into the storage form of glucose known as glycogen. Insulin is also involved in a wide range of other functions like protein and fat metabolism. All diabetics can also be said to have insulin resistance. The reason they have high blood glucose is that the cells in their body do not take up glucose. The reason for this is that the cells in their body do not respond normally to insulin. If the cells become insulin resistant, they "ignore" or can't respond to the signal from insulin. This can increase the levels of glucose in the blood. When this happens the pancreas responds by producing even more insulin in an attempt to "force" the glucose into the cells. The problem is that since the insulin has no effect on the insulin-resistant cells, the blood glucose levels can keep rising. The body's response is to convert the high levels of glucose in the blood into fat, and that can set up a scenario of chronic inflammation and other disorders like full blown Type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and heart disease. The most common symptoms of Type 2 diabetes include: increased thirst along with more frequent urination, increased appetite, weight gain or unexpected weight loss, blurry or changed vision, fatigue, and increased number of infections. Type 2 diabetes is diagnosed by your symptoms and a number of specific blood tests that measure how well your body handles sugars. Most cases of diabetes can be controlled with a combination of medications (hypoglycemics -- medicines that lower blood sugars), diet, and exercise. Insulin may be ordered for some patients, especially those with Type 1 diabetes. Current research indicates that one of the components of cinnamon, methyl hydroxychalcone polymer or MHCP, can improve how cells respond to insulin. MHCP seems to mimic some of insulin's activity. It also appears to work side by side with insulin, by improving the effectiveness of insulin. MHCP also has antioxidant effects, though it is not clear that these have anything to do with the ability of cinnamon to control blood glucose.
Summary:
Learn about diabetes. Investigate how insulin affects blood sugar. Understand how Type 2 diabetes functions and its traditional treatment. Find out why cinnamon can help control Type 2 diabetes.
