INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Talking about your strengths and positive accomplishments may be harder than you think. To prepare for questions regarding this, you should write down a list of your greatest strengths and achievements. Write down the most relevant work experiences you've had, and strengths that have followed you from job to job. Adding a recent concrete example of a recent work experience will give credence to your pitch. Once you've written down all the elements to your pitch, you can put it together into a cohesive statement. Start with an introductory statement about your experience, and then talk about your positive personality traits. Try to frame your experience in a realistic and concrete way. An example of a good pitch would be something like "I'm a 30 year veteran in writing and editing. My last job was as a senior editor at Shark Publishing Co. While I was there, I wrote over 30 different published manuscripts and manuals. One of the best things about me is that I'm a hard worker and always meet deadlines. As an example, last year we had a deadline that we didn't get the details for until two days beforehand. I worked 12 hours straight to make sure that the content got in on time." You can use your pitch to answer questions like "Tell me about yourself," "What experience do you have that would help you in this role?" and "What are your greatest accomplishments?"

SUMMARY: Write down your greatest achievements and strengths. Talk about your work experience. Write out and memorize your pitch. Use your pitch to answer commonly asked questions.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Hold the baby over the egg cup, and tilt both at an angle. Allow the pigeon to dip its head into the cup and pull up food. Pull it back every once and a while to check how full its crop is and to let it get some air. This process may not work for newborns, but it will work for most baby pigeons. Draw food up into the pipette, and put a matching piece of plastic tubing on the end. Cut the tube long enough to reach from the beak down to the bird's neck. Run the end over a flame to polish it. Let it cool, then insert it in the baby's mouth. Use your finger on the outside of the bird to feel when you reach where the neck meets the body. Slowly squeeze the pipette to release food. When the crop is full, pull out the tubing, leaving a tiny bit of food in the bird's mouth. It's best to have someone show you how to do this technique first before you try it yourself. Use flexible, medical-grade plastic tubing. You can buy some at medical supply stores or pharmacies. You can use catheter tubing, for instance. After 2 weeks, lightly warm corn and peas. Pop the balls into their beaks individually to slowly fill up their crop. When you're done, the crop should feel like a bean bag. You can also mix food and form it into balls. For instance, you can soak a soup mix of lentils, dried peas, and barley in water until soft, then form it into balls to feed to the bird.

SUMMARY: Place food in an egg cup or another small cup. Try a 3-milliliter disposable pipette with tubing. Feed older babies defrosted peas or corn.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Fortunately, gender stereotypes are becoming a thing of the past, so your guy is free to choose how he wants to express his manhood. Let him decide what behaviors and physical attributes he thinks are "manly," and appreciate him for who he is. For instance, some guys might feel like a beard makes them look more manly, but others may prefer a clean-shaven look. Similarly, it's okay if your guy wants to take good care of his skin or prefers ballroom dancing over sports. While you might feel like you're always right, chances are your guy feels the same way about himself. Don't worry about winning arguments or getting your way. Instead, communicate with your guy so you both have a chance to speak your mind. Then, find a compromise that works for both of you. To show him you're listening, paraphrase what he said back to him. You might say, "It sounds like you're worried about the budget," or "I hear you saying that you need more time to relax." Both you and your guy should use kind language when talking to each other. Don't call each other names, hurl insults, or yell at each other, even if you're having a disagreement. Instead, stay calm and keep your language civil. If you're having trouble being calm, take a break to give yourself time to let off steam. Say, "I need to step out for a few minutes. Let's continue this discussion when we've both calmed down." You and your guy likely have different interests. You might be tempted to pressure him into doing things that you like, which is totally normal. However, stick to activities that both of you like as often as possible. This will make him feel respected and helps you both have fun together. For instance, let's say you enjoy romcoms (romantic comedies) and he hates them. When picking a movie, choose a genre you both enjoy, like a summer blockbuster. It's common for people to enjoy the chase when they're dating. If you're too available, it can make your guy feel like he's lost the thrill of the hunt. Keep yourself busy by enjoying your time with others. This will give your guy more pleasure when he finally gets time alone with you. For instance, you might make plans with your best friend on Friday so that your Saturday date night is more exciting. Both you and your guy need space to enjoy your own hobbies and be your own person. Encourage your guy to pursue his interests, and use that time to follow your own goals. This will help your guy feel like a manly man, while you'll also feel fulfilled and happy. For example, you and your guy might agree to spend 1 weeknight each week and 1 Saturday a month pursuing your personal goals. If you have kids, decide how you'll cover childcare. For instance, you might alternate which nights you have time to yourself.

SUMMARY:
Respect how he defines his manhood. Listen to his perspective when you have a disagreement. Speak to him with respect and expect the same from him. Choose activities that you both enjoy when planning dates. Spend time with friends and family so he feels like he's chasing you. Nurture your mutual independence so he doesn't feel restricted.
