Article: In some cases, your grandma might live in another country and have a very different culture from what you're used to. But also, many grandmas are old enough that the culture today is very different from what they grew up with. This can make grandma feel out of her element. To respect cultural differences you can: Avoid judging or making jokes about grandma. Even if some things she does seem weird in your home culture, she probably thinks the same thing about your culture. Get to know your roots. Learning the meaning and history behind family traditions can be very interesting, and is also a way you can show respect. Some grandma's may have no difficulty following the lingo used by you and your friends. Other grandma's might struggle to understand, have difficulty hearing, and so on. You should talk with grandma clearly, choosing words that aren't slang. You might say, "Hi grandma! How are you? I'm good. I've been busy with school. My favorite subject is English. What was your favorite subject when you went to school?" Instead of avoiding fun new slang words and terms, grandma might be interested learning fun, popular expressions and using them herself. You might teach grandma slang by explaining, "I'm sorry, you might not be familiar with that expression. When I said "to' up" I meant "tore up" or "ruined." " If your grandma is hard of hearing, you might get a little frustrated speaking with her. When you start feeling frustrated, imagine how happy you would be if someone took time to talk to you if you were hard of hearing. Grandma has spent her entire life working and taking care of people. It's only natural that at this point in her life she wants to take things easy and relax. When you push grandma to do too much, it can sometimes cause her to get cranky or overwhelmed. If you feel yourself rushing, you can slow down by breathing slowly in and out on a 10 count. Inhale deeply and completely as you count from 1 to 10, pause for a moment, and then exhale completely as you count to 10 once more. Sometimes, nothing you say can change your grandma's opinion on a thing, even if she's wrong. Then again, if you spent most of your life believing something, it might turn into a habit that's hard to break, just like grandma. When you find a conversation is going nowhere and beginning to frustrate you, change the topic by saying things like: "Grandma, I love spending time with you, but talking about this is starting to make me feel uncomfortable. Could we talk about something else?" "We can agree to disagree, but I hear what you're saying. Let's talk about something different. How have your hobbies been going? Have you made any new crafts?"
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Respect cultural differences. Talk to grandma in a way she can understand. Take your time. Cut your losses when necessary.
Article: Star naming services do not actually provide officially-recognized star names. Since you will not actually own the star, you should think carefully about how much the novelty factor of "buying" the star is worth to you. Since the star-naming processes available to the public confer no official naming rights, you might choose to forego the star-selling service altogether. It's easy to name a random star yourself and print out a certificate of ownership on your home computer. You'd save money and still get the joy of possessing or giving a certificate bearing a star name of your choosing. Depending on the star-selling service you select, you could buy an entire star system, a binary star (two stars orbiting one another), or a star confirmed to have an orbiting planet in addition to naming just a single star. Each will be offered at different prices. There are many different types of stars in the universe, including (but not limited to) red dwarfs, red giants, blue giants, and neutron stars. Red dwarfs are the most common type of star in our galaxy. They are red and cool. Neutron stars are born from supernova explosions and have extremely fast rates of rotation. Red giants are huge dying stars with temperatures only about half as hot as the sun. Blue giants are rare but extremely bright, on average 60,000 times brighter than the sun. Try to match the qualities of the person you are purchasing the star for to an appropriate star. For instance, if someone's favorite color is red, you might want to buy them a red giant or red dwarf. Alternately, you might buy a star located in the zodiac sign corresponding to the individual's birth month. There are a growing number of star-selling services available, including the International Star Registry, Name a Star, and Online Star Registry. Each offers unique packages and products when you name your star. The level of quality each service provides varies. Research your chosen service thoroughly before moving forward. Businesses dominate the star-selling marketplace. Pale Blue Dot, however, is one star-selling service operated as a nonprofit. Proceeds go to fund scientific research, though your star will still not be officially renamed.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Ask yourself how much you're willing to spend. Decide what you want to buy. Think about what kind of star you want. Consider the person you are naming the star for. Select your service.
Article: One of the key components to a healthy and fulfilling relationship is offering your partner support for their personal endeavors. Your partner was a model before they met you and, if they continue their career, understand they will sometimes have to sacrifice spending time with you to further their career. Ask them how work is going. Listen to them vent or talk about upcoming jobs they're excited for. On the flip side, don't get angry if your partner decides to leave modeling to follow another career path. Most models don't spend their entire lives modeling. Getting angry over their decision to leave may communicate that you're only with their for their fame and hurt your relationship. If your partner has gained considerable fame, your relationship will inevitably end up within the public eye. Once things start getting serious between the two of you, sit down with them to discuss your privacy as a couple. It's okay if you're fine with the spotlight, but it's also okay if you want more privacy. One point to consider is whether you're okay with being photographed with your partner while on dates and attending events. Do you want to be mentioned on their social media and in interviews? Being a model requires a lot of traveling to different job locations and events. You won't always be able to accompany your partner to different areas, so you will have to discuss whether you're okay with long distance relationships and how you'll communicate during these periods. Web messenger clients like LINE and Telegram are great for keeping in touch over long distances, since they don't require specific network signals to function. Facetime and Skype can help you talk in a more face to face manner. Setting aside time to spend together will strengthen your relationship, especially if you're indulging in a common interest. Cook meals with your partner. Cuddle together as you watch a television show or movie you both love. Take dancing classes together to learn a fun new skill. Enjoy your time with each other as much as you can to keep your relationship strong. Fame aside, your partner is still a regular person and will appreciate being treated that way. Don't let their fame go to your head. Always remember who they are and what you love about them as a person, whether it's their passion for a particular hobby or a charming personal quirk.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Show support for their career. Talk about how the two of you want to handle the publicity. Work out how you'll keep in touch during long distance periods. Spend quality time together doing things you both enjoy. Treat your partner like a normal person.
