You can use social media to keep your friends and followers informed about the causes you support. Post informative articles, write about what you are doing to stay involved and invite your friends to attend events or donate to fundraisers for your cause. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram -- each of the above is a good place to start. No matter your cause, from nuclear proliferation to gender identity and bathroom choices, you'll meet plenty of people online with differing views than yours. Some will never be persuaded no matter what evidence you provide, but others may be willing to listen to reason, thoughtful explanations. There is "fake news" all over the internet, so do a little digging to evaluate the evidence before sharing it. Thanks to the internet, starting a petition no longer has to mean going door to door with a pen and clipboard. There are numerous websites and social media platforms that house petitions, including change.org and petitions.whitehouse.gov. To drum up support for a petition: Establish a clear, specific, and realistic goal "Protect the wooded area adjacent to Veterans' Park from development." Personalize the cause by telling your story "I, like many kids in this area, developed an appreciation for nature by walking through those woods." Mix online and offline efforts. Encourage friends and colleagues to share your petition both online and in person. It's easy to donate money online to existing organizations that focus on your cause, although you should always do some research on how such groups spend their money. You can also turn to the internet for crowdfunding options, either by utilizing websites like indiegogo.com or firstgiving.com or by using social media to encourage direct donations. If you're raising money for your local animal shelter, for instance, make sure there is a clear plan in place for using the funds. Many people won't just give money blindly without knowing what it will be used for.

One-sentence summary -- Promote your cause on social media. Explain and provide evidence for your perspective. Circulate online petitions. Provide financial support if you can.

Q: Looking into trustworthy online resources and forums to find out what other people have done in similar situations may help you to form a plan. You can connect with other people who are struggling with this disorder and get ideas from their experiences. Try to find a forum that is targeted at people with the disorder your partner has been diagnosed with. If, after conducting research and monitoring your partner's behavior, you still have strong suspicions that they may have a personality disorder, you need to take action. People rarely seek help for personality disorders on their own. Generally, they get treatment after a loved one has intervened. The first step of intervention is sharing your concerns with your partner. Choose a time when both you and your partner are calm and free to talk with no distractions. Schedule the discussion ahead of time, if you must. Start by saying, "I love you, Georgia. I am concerned about your well-being lately. You don't have any friends. You avoid family. I'm the only person you talk to, and I don't feel like we have as deep an emotional connection as we could. I want you to flourish socially and have rich relationships. Will you talk to someone so we can figure out what's going on with you?" It is important to try to work things out with your partner first before involving other people. However, if this does not work, then you may have to reach out to other loved ones and state your case. Contact others who have close relationships with your partnerbest friends, immediate family members, etc.and ask these people to join you in staging an intervention. Avoid getting your partner's coworkers involved or anyone else who is not close to your partner and extremely trustworthy. A mental health intervention involves working with a professional who can facilitate the process of you asking your partner to get help. To have a successful intervention, loved ones will take turns explaining how the person's disorder has negatively affected them and making a plea for them to enter treatment. Contact a local mental health treatment center to see if someone there has experience facilitating interventions. Although it will be up to your partner to seek and participate in treatment for a personality disorder, you can demonstrate a unified front during the process. Talk to your partner's therapist to see how you can best help in the treatment process. It may be helpful to accompany your partner to therapy sessions or even attend couples therapy. When a loved one needs your help, it can be easy to neglect your own health and well-being. Keep in mind that to be of any help to your partner you need to practice self-care. Make sure you are getting regular exercise, eating nutritious meals, and getting enough rest each night. Also, take time out for yourself to do things you enjoy like reading a novel, going for a hike, or having dinner with your close friends. It may also help for you to join a support group for loved ones of those with personality disorders. In these groups, you will meet with others who are coping with the same disorders and learn ways to better support your partner and your own health and well-being. Ask your partner's therapist for suggestions about local or online support groups.
A: Do research to see how other people have handled similar situations. Have a candid conversation with your partner. Enlist the help of your partner's friends and family. Show your support. Take care of yourself.

Article: Using a small handsaw, cut about a half inch to an inch (1.3cm-2.5cm) off the bottom to aid water absorption. Note: It is recommended that you don't cut the base at an angle, in a V-shape or drill a hole in the base. None of these methods help water absorption and they may make it more difficult to hold the tree safely in the stand. DO NOT cut the tree with a reciprocating saw or any blade that moves so fast that it will create friction. If the cut gets hot enough, the sap in the tree will seal the end and make water absorption impossible. A chainsaw or manual saw will work. That is how long a fresh tree can go without water before absorption is jeopardized. A Christmas tree should never be mounted dry. It is much better to place it in a container of water that is replenished on a regular basis. You can buy special tree cradles or stands which screw into the base of the tree and provide watering space. Or, you can go for the rougher but tried-and-true method of using a bucket filled with small rocks (put the tree in, fill the bucket with rocks around the trunk). The tree should be provided with 1 quart (950ml) of water for every inch (2.5cm) in trunk diameter. Note: ensure that whatever you use, the tree is stable. Don't whittle down the bark of the tree just so that it can fit in the stand - that outer layer is the part that absorbs the most water. It is a good idea for at least two people to put up the tree, one holding it stable while the other fixes the base. Always stand back to check that the tree is straight before you get busy decorating. Obviously, it is easiest to fix at this stage. Before decorating let the tree sit for a while to "settle" into its shape. Some suggest just an hour or so, others overnight.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Prepare the base of your tree. Mount your tree within eight hours of cutting the base. Make sure the tree is straight.

Article: You can make an STP device very easily at home, but you will need to practice using before you try it when you are out. To make a "coffee can lid" device you need to get hold of the plastic lid from a coffee can, or something similar, such as a lid from a yoghurt pot. These plastic lids are good choices because they are flexible enough to bend, and the plastic makes them easy to clean. Once you have the lid, you will need to carefully cut off the edges and any lips around the edge of the lid. You want to trim the lid so that you are left with a smooth and flat disc. Make sure the disc you are left with is still large enough for you to use effectively. When you have your flat disc all you need to do is to roll it into a funnel shape. You will just need to pee into the funnel and the stream will come out of the narrow end.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Get a plastic lid. Trim off the sides and lips of the lid. Bend it into a funnel shape.
