In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use a sharp knife to cut an avocado in half, and remove the pit. Scoop out the avocado flesh from one half of the fruit, and place it in a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until it's fairly smooth. If the avocado is small, you may want to scoop out the flesh from both halves to use for your mask. You should have enough for a mask that you can spread all over your face. Once you've mashed the avocado, add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of plain yogurt, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of olive oil, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of organic honey to the bowl. Use a spoon to fully combine all of the ingredients in a smooth paste. If the mask seems runny and you've only added half of the avocado, mix in some more of the flesh to thicken it up. The omega fatty acids in the avocado and olive oil help heal cracks between the skin cells that can occur when your skin is dehydrated. Honey and yogurt are soothing ingredients that help moisturize and soften the skin. When the mask is fully mixed, use your fingers to carefully spread it all over your face. Allow the mask to sit on your skin for 15 to 20 minutes so the omega fatty acids in the avocado and olive oil have time to penetrate. Be careful when you're applying the mask around your hairline. The honey can be very sticky if it gets in your hair. When you've let the mask sit on your skin for at least 15 minutes, rinse it off with warm water from the sink. Because the mask can be fairly sticky, you may want to use a washcloth to help remove it. Be sure to rinse especially well along your hairline.
Summary: Mash up an avocado. Mix the avocado with the yogurt, olive oil, and honey. Apply the mask and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Wash the mask off with warm water.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A big risk in long-term relationships is taking one another for granted. No matter how much you love and appreciate your spouse, there's always a risk that you might get so accustomed to one another that you forget to be grateful for all that your partner does. If you make an effort to express gratitude, your partner will almost certainly do the same. Say thank you when your spouse does something for you, whether it's cooking a meal, fixing a broken cabinet, or just picking something up for you at the store. Letting your partner know that you appreciate the little things will make your spouse feel appreciated, and your partner will be more likely to continue doing nice things for you (and vice versa) in the future. You could say something like: "It made me really happy that you swung by work today - thanks for doing that. It was good to see you for a few minutes." Another facet of taking your partner for granted is forgetting to compliment one another. You may think that your partner knows you love him or her, and that may be true. But nothing brings a smile to your face like hearing that someone finds you attractive and desirable, so work to make one another feel special as often as possible. It doesn't take much to notice your partner. Compliment your spouse on an attractive outfit, a recent haircut, any developments after beginning a new workout routine, and so on. Try to praise your partner for his/her efforts in front of others. Bragging about your spouse's accomplishments when he or she is too shy to can really make your spouse feel loved. As your relationship goes on, you might find that it's harder to make time for a date, or to go out and have a romantic evening alone. This can be particularly troublesome if you have children. But having regular date nights spent alone with your spouse can bring back the excitement and the passion that you felt for one another when you were actually dating, and that passion is important in sustaining a long-term marriage. Commit to spending the night alone together. Get a babysitter for your kids, or have them sleep over at a friend's house. Choose a romantic restaurant. If you have a favorite place to go or if you can recreate your first date, even better. Get dressed up for one another. Try to impress your spouse as though you were still just dating and not yet married. Take a romantic walk after dinner, or go see a show together. Focus on making it an intimate evening alone together. In addition to feeling your sexual needs are fulfilled, it's imperative that you feel like your life has meaning and that you've accomplished something. It may come as a surprise, but experts agree that having your own personal goals and accomplishments separate from your spouse can actually strengthen your marriage. When you feel like your own personal goals are being fulfilled, it's easier to devote yourself to your partner. If you're very career-driven, take time for your career. If you're an artist, work on your art. If you're athletic, train for a marathon. No matter what your partner's goals and accomplishments are, it's important for you to have your own goals. You and your spouse should be supportive of one another, and should celebrate each other's accomplishments.
Summary: Express gratitude for the little things. Take the time to notice your partner. Go on a date with your spouse. Make sure you feel fulfilled.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Investing in precious metals can be a good way to shield your investment portfolio from the effects of inflation. Monetary policy employed to combat recent recessions has often involved the inflation of currencies. Lack of faith in the dollar has resulted in the devaluation of cash assets and the rise of commodity prices. Price volatility is always a concern for precious metals investors. The discovery and sale of large precious metal reserves can increase the supply overnight, leading to sharp drops in price. Additionally, if you invest in physical metal such as gold coins or bullion, you need to protect them in a bank vault or safe. Although gold is the best-known precious metal, there are a few other metals that are often used for investment. Gold is a globally recognized symbol of wealth. Gold was commonly used as currency prior to the development of paper money and state currencies. Currently gold is crucial to the electronics industry. It is used in many components due to its properties of electrical conduction, corrosion resistance, and chemical stability. Silver is commonly thought of as gold's more affordable cousin. Silver is valuable to the electronics industry because it has the highest electrical conductivity of any element and the highest thermal conductivity of any metal. Platinum is often part of medical equipment, automotive parts, and computers. Palladium is key to the production of catalytic converters because of its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and oxidation. It is also used in a variety of other industrial applications such as water purification and the refining of oil and natural gas.
