In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Conduct and statements made during a compromise negotiation are not admissible at trial to prove your liability. Also, any offers to pay for medical expenses may not be used at trial to establish liability for an injury. Courts exclude this evidence because they want to encourage settlement negotiations. If you were worried that your offer of a settlement could be used against you in court, then you might never agree to settle. Because the courts want to encourage people to seek legal advice, they prohibit the introduction of any statement made to an attorney for the purpose of seeking legal advice when the attorney is acting in a professional capacity (as opposed to acting as your friend). Also, the client must intend that the statement be private. The attorney-client privilege can be waivedand waived inadvertently. If you tell your attorney something in public and it is overhead, then the witness can testify to what you said. To promote spousal harmony, courts will exempt spouses from being forced to testify against each other. Also, they will exclude statements made between spouses. The communications privilege allows you to throw out any statement you made to your spouse. Although your spouse may still testify about other matterse.g., what he observedhe cannot testify as to what you told him. The testimonial privilege allows you to keep your spouse from testifying completely, about any matter. In federal court, however, the testifying spouse holds the privilege; that is, if she wants to testify, then you cannot stop her. The government also wants to encourage police to adhere to the Constitution when gathering evidence. Under the "exclusionary rule," courts will throw out evidence seized without a search warrant to induce compliance. This is a complicated area of law, but you can learn the general rule. Generally, to use evidence at trial, police must seize it pursuant to a valid search warrant. If police grab it without a valid warrant, you can move before trial to have the evidence suppressed. There are many exceptions to the valid warrant requirement. For example, if the warrant was defective but police relied on it in a good faith belief that it was valid, then the evidence is admissible. Furthermore, if you consent to a search then the evidence will be admissible. Evidence is also admissible if it is gathered incident to a valid arrest, was in plain view of the police officers, or was discovered while the officers were in "hot pursuit" of the suspect. Also, evidence seized by private parties (not the police) is admissible if turned over to the police. If you are interrogated when you are under arrest, the police must give you four Miranda warnings: you have the right to remain silent; if you say anything, it can be used against you in a court of a law; you have the right to an attorney; and, if you can't afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Failure to give even one warning can keep the prosecution from introducing the statements in their case-in-chief. Any statement you make could, however, be introduced to impeach you should you testify. If you allege a constitutional violation, an oral objection at trial is not enough. You should also file a pretrial motion. If you do not file a pretrial motion, then the issue could be forfeited on appeal.
Summary: Move to strike any statements made during settlement negotiations. Claim attorney-client privilege. Claim spousal privilege. Argue that evidence was seized without a warrant. Argue that you were not given Miranda warnings.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Take time every day to write down your feelings in a private journal. Find people you trust and share how you're feeling with them. Try not to let your emotions build up inside you. Opening your heart chakra is about letting go of pent-up resentments and insecurities. Expressing how you feel can help you do that. Worrying about things that happened in the past can make you guarded and bitter. To open your heart chakra, you want to let go of those feelings so you can be open and trusting of others. If you catch yourself feeling angry or sad because you're dwelling on the past, try to shift your focus to the present. Try mindfulness exercises or yoga to help you stay more present. Try not to compare yourself to other people. If you catch yourself thinking negatively about yourself or others, acknowledge the thought and make a conscious effort to stop thinking that way. If someone does something that upsets you, try to be empathetic and understand why they may have done what they did. Opening your heart chakra involves loving yourself and others without conditions. Holding onto bad feelings toward other people makes it harder to open your heart chakra. If you've been feeling angry at someone for what they did to you in the past, work on forgiving them. Realize that by forgiving them, you'll feel better and less burdened. If you're having a hard time forgiving someone, try talking to a professional counselor for some guidance.
Summary: Practice expressing your emotions. Focus on the present. Work on being more accepting of yourself and others. Forgive people who have wronged you in the past.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Bottled or tap water will work. The exact amount of water you should pour in will vary depending on the size of the bong you're using. Fill up the bong so the water comes no more than 1 inch (2.54 cm) above the tip of the downstem (the long tube of glass that sticks into the bong). Any more water than that and you could get splashed while you're smoking. When you're filling the bong with water, pour the water directly into the mouthpiece (the open part at the top of the bong). Use your fingers, a pair of scissors, or a grinder. Make sure it's ground up finely. Break off a couple of larger pieces, about 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) long and wide, to pack at the bottom of the bong bowl. If you're using a grinder, take the lid off and place 2 or 3 buds of cannabis in between the grinder's teeth. Close the lid and twist the lid back and forth to grind up the cannabis inside. The bowl is the funnel-shaped piece that sits in the outside portion of the downstem. Take the large pieces of cannabis you set aside and pack them in the bowl first; these pieces will prevent the finely ground cannabis from getting sucked through the bowl as you're smoking. Then, pinch some of the ground cannabis between your fingers and drop it into the bowl. Don't pack the cannabis too tightly or air won't be able to pass through it. If the cannabis looks pressed down or compacted in the bowl, use something small and thin like a paper clip to stir it up and loosen it. If you're smoking alone, don't pack the bowl more than half full. You can always pack more later. If you're smoking with friends, pack the bowl so the cannabis comes up to the rim of the bowl. Don't pack it any higher or some could fall out as you're smoking.
Summary:
Fill the bong with water. Grind up your cannabis. Pack the cannabis in the bong bowl.
