Take your friend aside and tell them that you need to talk about something that is important to you. Explain how it made you feel to see or hear others talking about you. If it feels like your friend isn't listening, try to stay calm. You won't make any headway if you start fighting during your talk. Only confront your friend if you are certain they have been talking about youdon't just go on someone else's word. It's no fun to be falsely accused, and you may lose a friend if they haven't done anything wrong. Avoid getting into a back-and-forth. Try to keep the conversation focused on the fact that gossiping is hurtful and wrong. Your friend may feel defensive or have reasons that they think justify gossiping, but there is no excuse. Be firm about the fact that you do not like participating in gossip or hearing it about yourself. Tell them that they hurt your feelings and that you're concerned about the friendship. For example, perhaps you told your friend something private about your family, and they shared it with others. Say something like, "As your friend, I want to be able to vent to you about my family and trust that you'll keep it between us. Just because I tell you something doesn't give you the right to tell other people about it." If you're really hurt by being gossiped about, you may want some space, or a genuine apology. Be honest and tell your friend what (if anything) they can do to regain your trust. Let them know that you value honesty and loyalty in a friend. Make it clear that if they can't uphold these values, you won't be able to continue the friendship. Be specific about what you expect from them. For example, say, "If I share something personal with you, I expect you to keep that between you and me. If other people want to know something about me, they can ask me themselves. I'll do the same for you."

Article: To be considered for a Microsoft MVP award, you must first be nominated by either a current MVP or a current Microsoft employee. Therefore, the more connections you make with people in these categories, the more likely it is that you'll be noticedand, hopefully, nominatedby one or more of them. If you attend tech conferences, you're sure to run into people who fit into one of these categories. Don't be shy about introducing yourself and giving an "elevator pitch" that lays out your MVP-worthy credentials. You can search a list of all current MVPs (which number 3223 as of June 2019) at https://mvp.microsoft.com/en-us/MvpSearch. If you manage to sufficiently impress a current MVP or Microsoft employee, they may choose to submit your name as a nominee to the awards committee. This is an achievement in itself, but it's also only the first step toward the coveted MVP award. There's nothing inherently wrong with asking to be nominated, but use your own best judgment about whether this is a good idea. Some potential nominators may be fine with this tactic, while others may take offense. Most people in these categories will know how to go about nominating you. If not, direct them to the nominating portal at https://mvp.microsoft.com/en-US/Nomination/nominate-an-mvp. Be sure to thank your nominator personally and profusely. After all, they've done you a great service! If you pass an initial screening after being nominated, you'll receive a request for supporting documentation from the awards committee. They're looking for tangible evidence that you deserve an MVP award, so be sure to make a great case for yourself! The initial screening, along with the entire decision-making process for MVP awards, is intentionally cloaked in secrecy by Microsoft. They simply don't want potential recipients to know exactly how the process works. You might do the following to support your case: list the conferences you've spoken at, and estimate the number of people in attendance at your sessions; tally up your YouTube tutorials and the number of views; identify your written work in your contribution areas; and point out several of your best-received message board answers. After your supporting documentation has been reviewed, it's possible that a member of the awards committee will contact you with follow-up questions. Answer fully and truthfully, while also showing the confidence to tout your achievements and your passion for sharing your expertise. They may, for example, want further clarification on the topics of some of your conference panels, or they may want to know more about your views on a particular Microsoft product in your area of expertise. The awards committee frequently deals with a backlog of nominations, so you should expect the entire process (from nomination to final decision) to take 90 days or more.

Article: Often, redness and irritation is the result of over-exfoliating or using abrasive or harsh acne reducing products. Stop using anything new you have put on your skin for at least 4 days, and consider switching to a gentler cleaning product. Acne medicines using retinoids are particularly irritating. After 4 days, try using the product sparingly to see if irritation still occurs. If so, throw it away. Do not introduce more than one product at a time to your skin, so you know which one is "too much." A good cleanser should wash off all dirt and makeup, but not your skin's natural oils. If your skin feels tight or squeaky after washing, the product is too harsh. Cetaphil and Eucerin are good products for sensitive skin. Hot or cold water can damage capillaries and cause redness. Hot water also dries your skin out quickly, causing redness. Look for a cleanser made for your skin type, whether it tends to be oily or dry. Foaming cleansers are generally bad for dry skin. Avoid cleansers with harsh ingredients like sodium laureth sulfate, menthol or alcohol. Avoid products with fragrances and dyes. Also avoid medicated acne cleansers, since they usually strip away good oils. You may need to use different products for different seasons, depending on how dry the air is and how you skin conditions adjust accordingly. Choose a moisturizer with glycerin as the first ingredient since it is very efficient at holding in moisture, or just use plain petroleum jelly. Use it every time you shower, after drying off. Beware of typical hand sanitizers, which contain alcohol and dry out your skin. Look for one specifically made for hydrating dry skin too. If you are experiencing widespread irritation, it may be how you wash your clothes. Try a different detergent made for sensitive skin or that has mostly natural ingredients. If the air is dry, particularly in winter months, using a humidifier can help prevent your skin from drying out while you sleep. Moisture in the air also helps to reduce inflammation. Fill your plate with anti-inflammatory foods, such as leafy greens, salmon, avocado, and walnuts. Take anti-inflammatory supplements, such as probiotics, spirulina, vitamin C, and fish oil. These nutrients will help you reduce inflammation in your skin.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Stop using harsh skin care products. Wash daily with a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water. Moisturize your skin at least once a day. Switch to a laundry detergent without fragrances or harsh chemicals. Buy a humidifier for your bedroom. Eat an anti-inflammatory diet.
