Problem: Article: If you're looking for a somewhat serious relationship, you need to factor in your partner's child. Dating someone with a child can be challenging and you need to be honest with yourself about whether or not you're ready for that kind of commitment. When someone is a parent, especially to young children, the kids come first. Dates and plans may change last minute due to the child's schedule. You may have to step aside more frequently than is ideal and settle for spending less time than you might like with your significant other. If some has a child from a previous relationship, their ex will probably always be a part of their life. Unless the other parent is out of the picture, your partner will always have some contact with his or her ex. Are you comfortable with the boundaries your partner has set with his or her ex? Do you think there's still underlying romantic tension? If things get serious, you will probably have to meet and socialize with your partner's ex. Take all this into consideration before getting serious with a single parent. Many people with children from previous relationships are guarded, at least initially, in romantic relationships. This is because everything counts more when you're a parent. If you're upset due to a romantic setback, it's difficult to function and this can affect your ability to parent. Things may move slower when you're dating a single parent, as proceeding with caution is more important to people with children. You should ask upfront what the boundaries are when it comes to your partner's child. Conversations like this can be difficult to initiate for a single parent. Your partner will appreciate you politely inquiring as to what the expectations are in regards to your relationship with his or her child. Boundaries can be simple, like how much time you should allow them to devote to their children. For example, your partner may make it clear he or she can never go out on weeknights or can only commit to dates every other weekend. Be respectful and understanding of such restrictions. There will also be restrictions about when you can meet the child. These may be less straightforward. Your partner may not have a definitive answer or timeframe. It's important not to push for introductions too soon but make it clear that, whenever your partner is ready, you would be happy to meet his or her child. When you're dating someone with a child, try not to see it a as burden or as extra baggage. Look for the positive side of the situation. If your partner has a child, he or she probably has a unique perspective on life that is new to you. This can be an exciting way to open your own mind and expose yourself to different ways of thinking. How your partner thinks about work, life, and responsibility in general will be affected by his or her child. Try to see this as an opportunity for you to grow and learn. While you might not to get to spend as much time as you like with your partner, the time you do spend together will be more valuable. You will be less likely to take your partner for granted and will figure out ways to make the most of the time you have. You might end up getting to know your partner through phone calls and e-mails more than face-to-face interaction, and this can heightened communication. Without the distractions of physical surroundings, you'll pay closer attention to one another's words. Many kid friendly activities can actually be enjoyable for adults as well. Trips to fairs, amusement parks, and kid friendly movies may be something you come to enjoy as your relationship progresses.
Summary: Ask yourself whether you can handle the commitment. Let your partner set boundaries. Have a positive outlook.

Problem: Article: In molecular orbital theory, bond order is defined as half of the difference between the number of bonding and antibonding electrons. Bond order = [(Number of electrons in bonding molecules) - (Number of electrons in antibonding molecules)]/2. Each electron that entered a bonding molecular orbital will help stabilize the new molecule. Each electron that entered an antibonding molecular orbital will act to destabilize the new molecule. Note the new energy state as the bond order of the molecule. If the bond order is zero, the molecule cannot form. The higher bond orders indicate greater stability for the new molecule. Hydrogen atoms have one electron in the s shell, and the s shell is capable of holding two electrons. When two hydrogen atoms bond together, each completes the s shell of the other. Two bonding orbitals are formed. No electrons are forced to move to the next higher orbital, the p shell so no antibonding orbitals are formed. The bonding order is thus (20)/2{\displaystyle (2-0)/2}, which equals 1. This forms the common molecule H2: hydrogen gas.
Summary: Know the formula. Know that the higher the bond order, the more stable the molecule. Consider a simple example.

Problem: Article: A lot of the time, guys are reluctant to date because they worry that they'll lose their freedom or their identity because this is something that our society tends to teach. Show him he doesn't have to worry about that with you by helping him to feel free. Encourage and help him to pursue his dreams, help him set up fun activities with his friends, don't hog his free time, etc. When we look for someone that we really want to get serious with, we're looking for someone who makes our life better, right? So of course your guy is looking for someone who makes his life (not necessarily exciting) but at least fun. Be the source of fun in his life. Go on fun dates, encourage him to try new things, and join in and encourage his passions in life. One real turn off for guys is the drama queen. You know the girl who constantly gossips, starts arguments and fights with other people, and generally complains and looks for flaws in everything? Don't be that. Stay away from drama and definitely try to minimize the drama that he's exposed to. Having an actual problem that he can help with is one thing, picking a fight with him about something petty is another thing altogether. Guys like to feel useful. They like to feel like they're your hero....so make them feel like they are! Let him help you with things from time to time. Ask for and take his advice with real or even just minor problems. He'll love the place that he has in your life because it will give him a sense of purpose that he might not feel anywhere or with anyone else. You should be passionate in your relationship of course, but you should also be passionate in your day-to-day life. Find enjoyment in what you do and pursue things that are important to you. Enthusiasm and joy in life are catching, and we tend to look for and stay with people who help us feel those feelings, so be that person for him by loving your own life. Most importantly, you should be you. Don't try to be the person you think he wants. When we try to pretend to be someone else, eventually the mask begins to crack and who we really are shines through. Even if he would have loved you for who you are, he may be hurt and resentful that you lied to him and you'll lose him anyway. Honesty is the best policy!
Summary: Help him feel free. Be fun! Stay away from drama. Make him feel like a hero. Be passionate. Be you.

Problem: Article: Fill a rimmed baking sheet with more sweet rice flour. Roll the marshmallow cubes in the flour until they are coated; this will keep them from getting sticky. Dust off the excess flour, then store them in a sealed container in the fridge. They will last up to 1 week. You can use cornstarch and/or powdered sugar for this step.
Summary:
Dust the marshmallows with more rice flour before serving them.
