In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You don't have to love everyone, but you should be curious or fascinated by people in some way. Charming people walk into a room full of people ready to spend time talking to others; they don't stand against the wall waiting for the moment when they can escape. What interests you about other people? If you're empathetic, maybe you're interested in how people feel. Maybe you're interested in what makes people tick, or what knowledge they hold. Use your interest as the basis for getting to know people. Learn how to ask questions based on your interests while being polite and others will feel they are interesting. Follow up with more questions to continue showing your interest; the person you're talking to should never feel that you're trying to cut the conversation short. when you meet them for the first time. This takes an enormous amount of effort for most people, but it's completely worth doing if you want to be charming. When introducing yourself, repeating the person's name will help you to remember it. For example: "Hi, Jack, I'm Wendy." Follow through with small talk and use the person's name during your conversation. Repeat it once more when you say goodbye. Repeating someone's name is not just about helping you to remember that person. The more often you say someone's name, the more that person will feel that you like them and the greater the chance they'll warm up to you. If someone else walks up while you're having a conversation, introduce the two people by name. This simply means talking to a stranger or a newly met acquaintance in a very friendly manner, as if the person is a long lost friend or relative. This helps break down an initial awkwardness and speeds up the warm-up process when meeting new people. Soon, people feel more welcomed and comfortable around you. Kindness, coupled with respect, makes others feel as if they are loved and cared for. This is a powerful tool during interaction. If you're in a sporty crowd, talk about last night's game or the meteoric rise of a new team. If you're with a group of hobbyists, ask about their hobbies and make pertinent remarks related to fishing, knitting, mountain climbing, movies, and so on. Nobody expects you to be an expert. Sometimes you can build rapport just by asking questions, and not caring if you seem naive. There are people who like talking about and explaining their interests, and will like you for listening. It is your level of interest and willingness to engage in topics that makes you an interesting person to be around. Exercise an open mind. Let others do the explaining. If someone mistakenly thinks you know more about the topic, be genuine and simply say that your knowledge is limited but that you're hoping to learn more about it. Being quiet about yourself makes you seem standoffish. Sharing as much about yourself as you ask others to share is a way to build trust with other people. They'll feel special because you wanted to talk about your life with them, and before you know it you'll have new friends.
Summary: Be genuinely interested in people. Remember people's names Assume rapport. Talk about topics that interest the people you're with. Share information about yourself.

Dip the pH strip into the water but do not swirl it around or stir the water. After about 5 seconds, remove the strip from the water and wait another 5 to 10 seconds. When the pH strip changes colour, compare it to the pH spectrum to determine the pH level of your water. Generally tap water has a pH level of around 7. Anything below 7 is acidic, and above 7 is alkaline. Those who advocate the health benefits of alkaline water recommend a pH level of around 8.5 - 9.5. If you are hoping to improve your health and wellbeing by ionizing your water, it's important that you spent some time scrutinizing the health claims. This is especially important if you are thinking of buying an expensive ionizing machine. Advocates of ionized water say the alkaline helps balance the acidity in other food and drink we consume, and claim that it can have marked impact on your focus and energy. These are difficult things to quantify, however, and scientists say there is little evidence for the claims. Your body has mechanisms to keep your pH level within a narrow range on its own. Whatever pH level food or drink was at when it entered your body, it is 6.8 when it leaves. There has been scientific studies done in Korea and Japan that argue that alkaline water helps treat and prevent diseases. Some scientists have expressed concern about the lack of clinical evidence to support the claims about ionized water. If you are interested in ionizing water, talk to your doctor for some more advice. If you are on any medication, or you are pregnant, you should always talk to your doctor first.

One-sentence summary -- Test the pH level of your drinking water using pH strips. Don't expect great health benefits. Talk to your doctor.

Problem: Article: Website optimization involves using the right keywords and headlines to show up at the beginning of online searches. This is an essential element when it comes to improving traffic to your website. Incorporating images and accurately labelling them will help you in this process. This process is often referred to as SEO, which stands for Search Engine Optimization. If you have optimized a website to show up under search terms for your business, include the same keywords alongside an accurate image descriptor to title your photo. This will ensure that users are linked to your page when searching for the images that correspond to the content on your website. You can also use your URL keywords to keep it simple. If your URL title is "buy-our-stuff.html," and you're selling hats, label an image "buy-our-stuff-hat-1.jpeg." If you're using keywords to make your images show up more often on search engines but the descriptive titles of your images aren't accurate, you're harming your user's experience. Alt tags are hidden text that are revealed in browsers used by the visually impaired. This text is read by search engines however, which makes it an excellent place to include keywords or search terms that you may not need to list publicly. Keep these tags accurate thoughyou don't want to sacrifice visibility for accuracy. If there is important information that you want to include for your user but don't want to include in your image tag, put it in a caption. Captions could include commentary or clarifying information about an image, and will bolster your image's profile without bogging down the title. Captions are the small little quotes or lines that go underneath an imageusually in a smaller font than the rest of your content. An example of a caption for a photograph of a president giving a speech could be, "The president speaking at a benefits concert before the opening act."
Summary:
Understand how optimizing your website informs searches. Copy headline and URL keywords to make accurate image labels. Include keywords in the image information and alt text. Use captions to provide additional information on your site.
