Write an article based on this "Gather your thoughts. Express your feelings. Accept responsibility. Actively listen. Write a letter."
article: It can be intimidating to make a difficult apology. It's normal to feel nervous. Take some time to plan ahead and figure out what you want to say. Make a list of your main points. This list should include an apology, an acceptance of responsibility, and a statement of how you plan to make amends. Practice what you want to say. You can try the apology out loud while looking in the mirror. Ask for time to talk. Try saying, "Lauren, I know you're upset with me. Is there a time this week when we could sit down and have a conversation?" If you want to regain someone's trust, you have to have a serious talk with them. If you have wronged someone, the appropriate thing to do is apologize. Begin by stating how you feel. If you are trying to rebuild a friendship, tell your friend how you are feeling. You can say, "Sue, I feel very bad that I betrayed your trust. I know it will be hard, but I would like for us to work on repairing our friendship." State your intentions. If you are communicating with a romantic partner try saying, "I want us to be able to trust one another and I will do what it takes to make that happen." Be sincere. Whatever you say during your apology, make sure that you mean it. The other person might be able to tell if you're lying, and that will only further damage your relationship. If you are apologizing, then you have something to be sorry for. In order to regain someone's trust, you need to demonstrate that you know what you did wrong. Your apology should include an acknowledgement or your actions. Make it clear that you know what you did wrong. If you are trying to regain trust in a professional relationship, you should use specific examples. Try saying, "I made a mistake when I did not carefully proofread those documents. I know it cost the company money." This shows that you understand the ramifications of your actions. You should also use specific examples when talking to a friend. For example, you could say, "John, it was wrong of me to lie and say I had to work late. If I'm going out with other friends, I should just be honest and tell you that." A constructive conversation is one that has more than one participant. After you have said what you want to say, give the other person a chance. Take steps to show that you are listening. Use your body language. Nod your head and make eye contact while the other person is talking. Rephrase the main points. This will show that you are retaining what is being said. For example, you can say, "I hear you saying that you have lost faith in me and that it will take time to rebuild that trust." A face to face apology is always the best option. Unfortunately, that is not always possible. Maybe you live far away from the other person, or maybe they are not willing to speak to you. If that is the case, you can try an apology letter. Write a handwritten letter. This is more personal than an e-mail. You should never make an important apology via text. Edit your letter. It might take you a couple of drafts to get the right tone and content. Your letter should be concise and to the point. Try to make it about 3 paragraphs. Your first paragraph can offer the apology, the second should acknowledge responsibility, and the third can describe how you would like to solve the problem.

Write an article based on this "Use an oil-based polyurethane and a foam or natural bristle brush. Wait for 5 minutes and examine the surface once more for dripping."
article: Oil-based polyurethane in a satin sheen is an excellent all-purpose clear coat that is relatively easy to apply. Purchase this and your foam brush at a hardware or home improvement store. Foam brushes are recommended because they are inexpensive, and you can toss them out when you're done. Natural bristle brushes are also a great choice, although they are more expensive and not disposable. Because the sealer is pretty thin, dripping can be a problem. You definitely don't want any drips to dry on the surface, since this will disturb your smooth finish. Give the coat of sealer about 5 minutes to dry, then examine the surface once more for drips. Smooth out any that you see with your brush. Leave this to cure for 12-24 hours.

Write an article based on this "Cut greasy and spicy foods out of your diet. Eat fruits, vegetables, and nuts to help neutralize your stomach acid. Incorporate more fiber into your meals to avoid overeating. Reduce your portion sizes so you don't overeat. Eat slowly to help your body break down food easier. Stop drinking coffee so you have less acid in your stomach. Limit the amount of alcohol you drink."
article:
Fatty and spicy foods are more difficult for your body to digest, so they irritate your stomach and cause heartburn easier. Prepare your meals by grilling, searing, or baking them so they're healthier and less oily. Choose milder spices or simply stick to salt and pepper for a basic seasoning. If you eat out at restaurants, try to choose baked or grilled options rather than fried foods. Chocolate and peppermint may also trigger heartburn. These foods are alkaline, which means they help counteract acid so it's not as irritating. Try to have foods like bananas, melons, cauliflower, broccoli, green beans, and cucumber since they're the most helpful. Eat 12 servings of fruits or vegetables with each meal to maintain a healthy diet. Celery, lettuce, and watermelon can also be helpful since they're watery and dilute stomach acid. Citrus fruits and tomatoes are acidic, so they may make your heartburn feel worse. Fiber fills up your stomach and makes you feel more so you're less likely to keep eating. Enjoy foods like whole grains, brown rice, sweet potatoes, peas, and broccoli to get fiber throughout the day. Aim to have between 2040 grams of fiber daily. For example, 1 slice of whole wheat bread has about 2 grams of fiber, 1 cup (175 g) of broccoli has about 5 grams, and 1 cup (150 g) of peas has about 9 grams. Gradually increase the amount of fiber in your diet, since too much at once may give you gas, bloating, or cramps. When you prepare meals, only eat the recommended portion listed on the packaging. For example, typical serving sizes are around 23 ounces (5785g) of meat and about cup (125 g) of vegetables per meal. Only eat enough food to feel satisfied so you don't feel uncomfortable later on. Store any leftover food for later if you feel full rather than forcing yourself to eat them. If you need to, have 45 smaller meals throughout the day rather than a few larger ones. If you still feel hungry, try drinking water since your body may confuse dehydration for hunger. Take smaller bites and set your fork down while you're chewing so you don't feel tempted to keep eating. Take time to chew your food thoroughly before swallowing since you'll feel more full afterward. Eat until you feel satisfied but not until you're stuffed. Take sips of water throughout your meal since it can help make you feel more full. Coffee is acidic and stimulates your stomach acid, so try to cut it out of your diet if it triggers your heartburn. Try switching to an herbal tea instead since it may help improve your heartburn if you still experience symptoms. Caffeine may also trigger your heartburn, so try switching to decaf to see if that helps your heartburn. Alcohol can irritate your stomach and weaken your throat so you're more likely to get heartburn. Only have 12 alcoholic drinks per day and drink a glass of water with each one so you're less likely to feel irritation. If you still feel pain after having alcohol, cut it out of your diet completely.
