Q: Some level of verbal disagreement is normal in intimate relationships, like that between spouses or between kids and their parents. But disagreements and conflicts should not be handled by fighting. Yelling, name-calling, belittling the other person, threatening to leave, or withholding attention or affection are not healthy ways to fight. Unfortunately, many people grow up in households where these types of fighting are commonplace, and they tend to handle their own disagreements in much the same way throughout life. In a relationship where fighting is commonplace, it can be difficult to retrain all of the involved parties to stop fighting and instead talk through disagreements in ways that are respectful. But your goal should be a collaborative relationship where differences are resolved through dialogue and where everyone feels safe, respected, and cared for. Instead of a fight, try to understand differences of opinion or disagreements as a problem-solving challenge. A fight is a situation where you and the other person are against each other. But you and your child, parent, or spouse are not against each other, you are partners! A disagreement is an opportunity to collaborate with your partner for a mutually-satisfying solution. Reframing a fight as a collaborative partnership doesn't make it easier to solve, but it does change the dynamic of the interaction. It is not you against them, it is you and them against the problem. Every healthy relationship has rules, whether spoken or unspoken, about what types of behavior are acceptable. If your relationship struggles with fighting, setting ground rules can be a first step toward a more emotionally stable and fulfilling relationship. Agree about what is off-limits during a disagreement. For example, name-calling, threats to leave, or personal insults should be avoided. Agree to allow the other person a "time-out" if a disagreement begins to become heated. Promise to revisit the issue later, when all parties are calm. Sometimes, just thirty seconds to breathe and cool down is enough; other times, it might be a good idea to go to bed and sleep on it, and resume discussions the next day. The only way to resolve a conflict is to talk through it. Learning how to discuss how you feel and why you are upset can be difficult. It is a good idea to begin practicing during smaller disagreements rather than waiting for big blow-out fights. State why you are upset. Be clear and specific, and try using "I" statements rather than statements that blame the other person. For example, "I feel frustrated when I have to take out the trash," rather than "You didn't take out the trash." Let the other person state their side. Be willing to listen and give the benefit of the doubt. Many verbal fights result from a misunderstanding or from jumping to conclusions about another person's motivations. Remember, this is a collaborative activity. Both parties likely have ideas for their own optimal solution, but the goal is to find a solution that works for everyone. Be willing to compromise, especially on issues that really aren't that important to you. It is difficult to come to a true agreement if you only give the other person one option. Remember why you love this person. As frustrating as disagreements may be, you should make a point to reconnect and reassure each other that you are still as committed to them as you were before the disagreement. Hold one another, hug, pat the person on the back, or reconnect in any way you can. Tell the person you care about him or her. If your family's fighting is out of control or you feel like you or someone else is in danger, tell an adult you trust or call the police. In the United States, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY, for deaf callers). Trained counselors at this 24-hour hotline can help you plan your next step.

Q: Before you slice the salmon for your sushi, it's important to clean your work area again. Use the bleach and water solution to wipe down the countertop or cutting board, and dry it with a clean towel. Once you've filleted the salmon, you'll still need to slice it further based on the type of sushi that you're making. Follow your sushi recipe to determine the proper way to finish cutting it. If you purchased salmon fillets, you can start with this step. Hold your knife at a 45 degree angle at the end of the fillet. Use a single, smooth motion to cut a thin slice; avoid using a sawing motion. The slices should be approximately 18 inch (3.2mm) thick. Continue slicing until you finish the entire fillet. Start by cutting the fillet into 1 inch (2.5cm) strips. Next, dice the stripes into approximately 34 inch (19mm). Continue cutting until you've cubed the entire fillet. For the rolls, you usually want long, thin pieces of fish. Cut your fillet in half, and hold the knife parallel to the long edge of the piece you're working with. Slice the salmon to create a piece that's approximately 12 inch (1.3cm) thick. Continue slicing until you have enough salmon for the rolls.
A: Re-sanitize the work area before cutting again. Cut the salmon according to your sushi recipe. Slice the salmon for nigiri. Cube the salmon for sashimi. Cut long pieces of salmon for sushi rolls.

Q: Since the app works the same on every platform, this method will work for any mobile device. If you don't have Microsoft Word, you can download it for free from the Google Play Store (Android) or App store (iOS). When you tap Home, a list of options appears. To see this option on a phone, you will need to tap the pencil icon above the text area to edit the document. Tap the up arrow on the right side of the menu that appears above your keyboard. If you're using a tablet, the ribbon with Home, Insert, Draw, and Layout appears above the text area. You might have to scroll down the list to see this on phones. For example, if you want to achieve a+b=c, type "a2+b2=c2." If you can't find the symbol you need on your keyboard, you can always copy and paste it into the document from other sources. A box will pop up above your equation. Your symbols and numbers will change into an equation format.
A: Open your Word document. Tap Home. Tap Insert. Tap Equation or Insert New Equation. Type your equation. Double-tap your typed equation. Tap Math Options. Tap Professional.

Q: Creating the zippered face makeup look is easy, but you do need some special items to do it. Before you get started, you will need: Zipper Scissors Liquid latex Makeup sponges Cotton balls, squares, or rounds Red face paint Red eye shadow and/or lipstick Skin safe adhesive Petroleum jelly You can use bits of cotton fluff to help you create texture on your skin. This will give your skin a lumpy, bumpy appearance that will be more realistic than smooth red skin. Pull apart a cotton square, ball, or round and set the cotton pieces aside. You will use them when you apply the liquid latex to your skin. Petroleum jelly mixed with a bit of red lipstick will help you to create a shiny finish on your skin. This will make the red textured makeup appear more realistic, as if the wound is fresh. You can also add in a little black or brown eyeliner or eyeshadow to darken the color.
A:
Gather your materials. Pull apart a cotton square. Mix red lipstick with petroleum jelly.
