Article: . A key characteristic of a judgmental person is tuning out others. When you come to a conclusion about a person or their motives, you stop listening. Unfortunately, this may lead to you making inappropriate snap judgments. If you actually heard the person out, you might draw a different conclusion. Completely hear others' messages. Don't interrupt or concern yourself with what you will say back. Examine their body language and look for feeling statements like "I feel" to help you understand their message. You can avoid passing judgment by making curiosity your default setting. When you're judgmental, you close off avenues of understanding. When you're curious, you are open to learning and receiving. Pose questions to tease out the meaning of a message instead of judging or making assumptions. For instance, a friend tells you "I slept with my ex." Passing judgment may sound like "You what? How could you?" This puts the other person in a position to defend their actions and shuts down fruitful communication. Instead you might ask, "Can you help me understand how this happened?" which withholds any judgment and opens up the lines of communication. When two people are communicating, each just wants to be heard and understood. Rather than passing judgments about others, try to step into their shoes. It can be helpful to practice being vulnerable so you can be more sympathetic when others open up. Think about how you may have acted in a similar situation. Consider their feelings and motivations. Imagine what circumstances may have led to them making that decision. Reading fiction presents another way of feeling empathy for others. When you become engrossed in a character's life in a book, you increase your ability to understand the experiences of others.

Problem: Article: If your bike has a quick-release front wheel, remove it and place it next to the rear wheel for locking. If you can't remove your front wheel, or your U lock is not large enough to encompass both wheels, secure the rear wheel then continue reading for alternatives. Using a "D" or "U" lock, secure the back end of your bike to another object. Place the "U" section of your lock around the rim of your rear wheel, your unattached front wheel, your rear frame, and the immovable object, then attach the straight bar to ends of the "U" to lock it. See Using Decent Locks for advice on U locks, and Selecting a Lock Location for how to select an object to secure your bike to. If your U lock is too small to fit around every object, use it on just the rear wheel and stationary object but place it "inside" the triangle made by the three rear sections of the bike's frame. This makes it impossible to pull the frame away from the wheel. This is usually enough to deter a thief, since he would have to destroy the valuable rear wheel to take the bike. Do not attach your U-lock to the crossbar (or "top tube") of the bike. This is the horizontal or down-sloping bar between the seat and the handlebars. This makes it easy for thieves to use the bike frame as leverage to attempt to break the lock. The front wheel is less valuable than the rear, but some level of security should still be used or even an opportunistic passerby could steal the wheel. You can loop a cable lock around the front wheel and the bike frame, and optionally around the rear wheel as well if the cable is long enough. Lock the cable together using its built in lock or a padlock. For greater security, use a second U-lock instead to secure the front wheel to its frame. Bags, baskets, lights, reflectors, bells, and anything else that can be removed should be taken with you or secured with their own cable lock. Use a D lock on rear wheel, through frame and an immovable object. Secure the front wheel using one end of the cable by pushing it through. Push a loop of the cable through the rails of your saddle; secure by passing the free end of the cable through the loop. Secure the free end in the D lock.
Summary: Pop off the front wheel. Secure the wheels and frame to an immovable object. Secure the front wheel (if not removed). Remove or secure any accessories before leaving your bike. Secure the saddle with a long cable.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Dry brushing is a technique you can use with any brush where you start with a completely dry brush. Add a little paint to the very end of the brush, and wipe off any extra. Run the tip of the brush over the canvas lightly, which creates a feathery look. The key to this stroke is to not get too much paint on your brush. A fan brush is spread out like a fan, so it makes it easy to create things like palm tree leaves. Use the long side to make an edge, and then use the fan part to make the line thicker, pulling it down into thin leaves or lines. This technique is called impasto. Use your palette knife to pick up a blob of paint and apply it to the canvas. Don't smooth it out completely. Rather, leave some of it raised up to give the painting texture. This technique gives you permission to go a little crazy with your paint. Lay your canvas out flat, and then pour paint on the canvas. You can use a cup, the tube it came in, or a paint brush to drip it. For a splattering effect, hit the brush against your hand, letting the paint splatter on the canvas. For this technique, thin your paint with 1 part water to 2 parts paint. You can use a wide variety of household items to paint on canvas, such as a clean toothbrush, paper towels, a sponge, a cotton swab, or a toothpick. Experiment with different items to see what effect you like. Keep in mind that acrylic paint is permanent on many surfaces once it dries so only use items you're willing to throw away afterwards.
Summary: Try dry brushing for a feathery look. Use a fan brush to create multiple lines at once. Apply paint thickly with a palette knife for texture. Pour or splatter the paint on the canvas for a fluid effect. Add interesting textures with household items.
