Article: As satisfying as you think it might be to call your husband the names he might call you, don't do it. It won't help your relationship to descend to his level. If he is willing to seek help and therapy, then there's hope. If he is unwilling to work on changing his abusive attitude, it's best to work on leaving the relationship, if only for a brief time until you can agree on some kind of therapy program. As satisfying as it might be to make a hard and fast deadline if you call me names again, I'm leaving forever think about what's realistic. Will you stay when he is working on changing his behavior? At what point will you give up and leave? Share your plan with your support network so they can help you if it becomes necessary to follow through with your exit plan. It's usually impossible to fix an abusive relationship. Don't keep threatening to leave then stay go when he steps out of bounds you have discussed. Reach out to family and friends with information about how to contact you and that you are leaving. Change your cell phone number and give it out only to trusted friends and family, asking them not to give it out. Delete any search history with research about your leaving on shared computers. If you are worried about retaliation and anger, leave a fake trail. Do internet searches for towns hours from where you plan to be. Write down phone numbers of motels in that town (where you won't be). Go to a safe place that you have set up beforehand shelter, the house of someone your husband doesn't know, a hotel. Communicate with your husband through a note you leave at home and let him know you have left and the steps you will be taking (restraining order, divorce, etc.) Let him know a family member or friend he can contact to reach you, but warn him that he will not be able to talk to you directly.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Don't use the same tactics back. Realize that you aren't going to be able to change him. Know when to leave. Leave when planned.
Article: An Ash tree has a compound leaf structure, rather than a single leaf structure. Look for the thickened base of the stem, called a petiole, and decide whether there is a single leaf or 5 to 11 smaller leaflets that branch out from that point. These 5 to 11 leaflets compose a single leaf. A Maple tree is an example of a single leaf tree that has one large leaf extending from the petiole. The only other tree that shares these two characteristics is a Boxelder tree. Yet, the Boxelder tree has three to five leaflets instead of five to 11. They are paddle shaped and look like small delicate leaves. They hang down in large groupings from the tree. Don't assume a tree without seeds is not an ash tree. Some types of ash are seedless. Seed clusters only form in late fall and early winter. Boxelder seeds are also clustered; however, they look like wings, rather than paddles.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Find a branch with leaves on it. Combine the opposite branching and compound leaves to decide if the tree is an Ash. Find light green or brown clusters of seeds.
Article: Replacing your kitchen island's countertop is the most obvious way to update it, but it may be the most labor-intensive. Choose from granite, concrete, wood, or laminate as the material for the new counter. Remove your old countertop carefully to keep the base of the island intact. Take measurements carefully and order the new countertop pre-cut to make the installation easier. If this installation seems like too much work to undertake on your own, call local contractors to get quotes for the job. Beadboard is thin wood sheeting that imitates the look of narrow vertical wood planks. To add this effect, measure each side of your kitchen island then cut the beadboard to size. Apply heavy duty construction adhesive to the back of the beadboard and press it firmly onto the sides of your island. Let the adhesive dry for at least 3-4 hours before doing any more work on the island. Beadboard can be purchased at hardware stores. Cut beadboard with a table saw, circular saw, or jig saw. Purchase half newel posts, which mimic ornate support pillars for a decorative effect. Measure the island and cut the posts to size. Apply heavy duty construction adhesive to the back of the posts and press them to the outer edges of the sides of your island. Use a table saw, circular saw, or jig saw to cut the posts. Purchase 4 long pieces of wide, primed baseboard at your local hardware store to fit the bottom of your kitchen island. Use a miter saw to cut one end of each baseboard at a 0 degree angle, and the other end at a 45 degree angle. Dry fit the pieces to make sure they interlock properly and glue the baseboard onto the island with heavy duty construction glue. If you end up with gaps between the baseboard edges, use caulking to fill them in.

Get a new countertop. Add beadboard to the sides of your kitchen island. Add half newel posts to the edges of your island. Add a baseboard trim around the bottom.
