Summarize the following:
Emotional intimacy is comprised of empathy, understanding, and compassion, which all hinge on being a good listener to your partner. Build your emotional intimacy by learning to listen and truly understand one another. When your partner speaks, lean in and let them finish their thoughts before cutting them off or adding what you want to say. Aim to understand their thoughts and feelings before contributing your own. Ask questions to better understand each other. Reflect your understanding back to your partner to make sure you've got it right by saying something like, "What I hear you saying is that you haven't brought it up because you've been ashamed." For some couples, sex is a taboo subject and it's difficult to talk about problems, desires, and needs. Allow each other to voice concerns, fears, and feelings. Open communication means that both partners can contribute to work together instead of blaming or shaming one another. Bring up the topic by saying, "I think it's important to address sex and find ways to help both of us feel fulfilled." Talking about sexual frustrations and problems can help partners not build anger, disappointment, and resentment. You or your partner may feel ashamed or embarrassed about erectile dysfunction. Never put yourself or your partner down or make them feel judged or 'less than' sexually. If you blame your partner for a lack of sex or are critical of their performance, this can make them feel ashamed and can make the dysfunction worse. Be careful when talking about your partner's performance and try to keep all language and discussions hopeful. For example, use "I" statements so that you are not blaming your partner but still speaking truthfully. You can say, "I'm having a hard time, too. I love having sex with you so it's difficult for me to adjust to this change." Tell your partner which aspects of your sexual relationship you enjoy and value. Place any problems with your sex life within this context to ensure the conversation remains positive. Good communication can improve satisfaction for both you and your partner. If your partner is struggling to get an erection, take the pressure off and ask them what they want. They may want you to touch them or kiss them in a different way or different area. Ask them to tell you what they want or show you what they want. While it's nice to put the focus on your partner, make sure you still feel comfortable and engaged. Don't be afraid to speak up if something is outside of your comfort zone.

summary: Listen to one another. Speak candidly about sex. Talk about sex positively. Ask what your partner wants sexually.

For perfectly straight lines, use a chalk line. Gran one end yourself and have a friend hold the other. Hold the line about 2 feet (0.61m) over the region to be cut. In one quick motion, raise the chalk line up about 1 foot (0.30m) and snap it down so that it hits the ground and applies chalk in a straight line. If you freehand your line with chalk, make sure to make it as thick as possible. For a 1-week chalk lifespan, use blue and white colors. Orange, green, and yellow last 2 to 3 weeks, while red and black last around 2 months. Fix a pair of vice grips to the side of the old blade to prevent it from spinning. Unscrew the center bolt in the middle of the blade with a wrench. Now, remove the small rim piece (called a flange) underneath and take the old blade out. Attach your diamond blade, taking care that the teeth point in the opposite direction as the cut. Finally, reattach the flange and bolt. Fix a pair of vice grips to the diamond blade if it's moving around while you're reattaching the bolt. If you're using a cut-off saw, you're probably cutting concrete between 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15cm) in depth. Loosen the blade lever to release it and adjust the base plate around the saw until the correct amount of saw is exposed. After the blade is at the right depth, place your index finger under the base plate to hold it in place and tighten the blade lever. To help you accurately adjust the depth, place the saw onto a long piece of wood as thick as the desired depth. Let the blade hang down over one side and use it as a guide. Angle the saw at a 45 degrees to the concrete and stand slightly to the left of the saw so that you're also facing the cutline at a 45-degree angle. Hold the backmost handle with your dominant hand and use it to move the saw forward and backward. Grip the frontmost handle with your non-dominant hand and use it to guide the blade along the chalk line. Proceed slowly, maintaining minimum RPMs of the cut-off saw. Face your dominant foot outward from the saw, perpendicular to the cutline. Keep your nondominant foot facing the cutline at a 45-degree angle. Cut for 30 to 45 seconds at a time and let the blade cool for an equal amount of time. Never apply water to electric cut-off saw blades.

summary: Mark the cutlines on your concrete using chalk lines or a piece of chalk. Attach a 14 inch (36cm) wet-cutting diamond blade to a cut-off saw. Adjust the blade depth of your cut-off saw. Cut along the chalklines at the lowest revolutions per minute (RPM) setting.

Try to find something that you have an exact number for, and that you have recently purchased as well. It is best to compare the prices of the same brand of item that was purchased as the same store. Again, the purpose of CPI is not to determine how much you are saving by shopping at a different store or switching to generic brands. Also avoid comparing sale items. The official CPI calculated by the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics uses a large number of items found in a variety of locations in order to eliminate short-term fluctuations. Calculating the change for individual items is still worthwhile, but sales are another variable that should be eliminated. So, if a box of cereal once cost $2.50 but now costs $2.75, the result should be 1.1 (represented mathematically, 2.752.5=1.1). Again, because the baseline for the CPI is 100--that is, the initial reference point, when compared to itself, equals 100%-- make your figure comparable. Using the example, the CPI would be 110. In the case of the example, 110 minus 100 equals 10. That means that the price of the particular item examined has increased by 10% over time.
summary: Find the price of a single item that you purchased in the past. Find the current price of the same item. Divide the current price by the earlier price. Multiply the results by 100. Subtract 100 from the CPI to determine the change in prices.
