Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Think back Don't get angry. Ask questions. Apologize and admit responsibility. Change what they complained about. Try to find a compromise.

Answer: . Relationships rarely end suddenly and with no forewarning, even if you missed it at the time. Try to remember anything your ex has said or done that might have indicated they were unhappy. This might be things like: Complaining that you are away too much, or don't pay attention to them enough Doubting you when you tell them something, such as where you were, or why you did something. Saying that they feel like you never give them time alone (healthy relationships need to give each person room to breathe and be on their own sometimes) Saying that they wanted something you aren't giving them Complaining that you never help out around the house Crying is a natural part of working through difficult emotions, but even if you're angry, it's important to stay calm. Yelling at the other person isn't likely to make them want to get back together with you. If you're having difficulty keeping your cool, here are some good things to try: Take a break. You can simply tell the other person something like "My emotions are taking over, can we take a break so that I can calm down and say what I actually mean?" Sleep on it. Before starting a conversation with your ex, take 24 hours to make sure that you actually want to say what you're planing to tell them. Consider how they might react, and consider how you would react if they told you something similar. Take deep, calming breaths or visualize yourself in a relaxing place. Write a letter(or email), then wait a day before sending it. It can be really helpful to write things down because then you have time to think about what you said before the other person hears it, and you can't accidentally change or forget what you planned to say at the last minute. If you don't know what you did wrong, and can't figure it out, then ask. Even if you do know something you did that upset your partner, ask if there's anything else you can do to make things better. Some examples are: "Can you help me understand why you were angry?" "What can I do to make our relationship stronger." "Is there anything you want me to do more of?" "What are the things that really bother you about how I act?" "Is there anything you need from me that I'm not doing?" If you have figured out what you think the source of the break-up was, tell your ex that you're really sorry about what happened. Even if you don't know what went wrong, apologize for something like 'whatever I did'. Take full responsibility for the mistake, and explain why you haven't done anything about it before. Some good things to say might be: "I'm really sorry I didn't notice that you wanted ___________" "I don't know why you left me, but I'm really sorry for whatever I did. Can you help me figure out what it was so that I can fix it?" "I know I really screwed up when I did___________, but losing you has helped me see how much more important you are than _________. I'm really sorry I ______ and I will never be tempted to do it again." "I know I haven't been as good about ________ as you asked me to me, but I didn't realize it was this important to you, and I'm really sorry I misunderstood what it meant to you. I promise to make it my first priority from now on." "I know I'm away a lot right now for ___________, and I hate it too, but this is a temporary problem, and once I finish it things will be better for both of us. It's just as hard for me as it is for you and I'm really sorry it has to be this way. Is there anything I can do to help you get through this tough patch with me?" After you apologize, it's important to make good with more than words. Whatever problem you found from thinking back and asking about, now's the time to fix it. If you still don't understand exactly what you need to do, more questions are always a good way to straighten this out. Some examples are: If they complained that you weren't around enough, make more time for the relationship. Try going out for dinner together, or cooking a meal together at home regularly one night a week (or more often!) Give up other things you do to show that you care more about the relationship and your partner. If they said that they didn't feel appreciated enough, try saying thank you (and meaning it!) more often, and picking up any tasks you can to make their life easier. If you cheated on them, make sure that they have no reason to question where you are all the time. You need to show that they can trust you. Come home when you say you will, and when you are out with a friend, offer to let them talk to the friend to prove that you are with who you say you are. If they have complained that you never do anything, get out and have hobbies! Some other ideas are to take some classes and gain some skills (whether they can make you money or not) This is especially effective if both of you have issues with the other one that led to the break-up. Discuss what the problems are (making a list can help) and then agree to a compromise that has you both making equal sacrifices for the health of the relationship. Remember to take into consideration that some things may be more important to one person than the other, and compensate according to how much it matters to you, or how difficult it is for you. For example, if being on time is really important for one of you, and the other one doesn't care about being late (and often is), then a fair compromise could be that when you're getting ready to go somewhere together, the person who doesn't mind being late allows the person who wants to be on time help arrange their schedule so that they can be on time.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Position your handlebars so you're most comfortable. Raise your handlebars for a casual posture. Lower your handlebars for a more aerodynamic posture.

Answer: If you experience shoulder or back pain, it might be a sign that your handlebars are too low, and that you're stretching too much as you're riding. Experiment with different handlebar heights by adjusting the height and sitting on your bike. Choose the one that feels most comfortable to you. In an ideal position, your shoulders should feel relaxed and your core should feel engaged. You should lean forward at the hips but your spine should be straight. Your handlebar placement can create a neutral, relaxed, or aggressive posture. For a neutral posture, keep your handlebars level with your seat. If you want a relaxed posture, raise your handlebars higher than your seat. To get an aggressive posture, lower your handlebars below your seat. Keep in mind that most riders prefer a neutral or relaxed posture. Handlebars that are raised higher reduce how aerodynamic your body is as you cycle, but may be more comfortable for some people. However, if you raise your handlebars too high, it may be harder to turn your bike. If your handlebars are too high, you won't be able to lean forward and it can cause saddle soreness or soreness in your back. If you want to ride your bike fast, you'll probably want to lower your handlebars. Lowering the bars will curve your back and lower your shoulders which reduces wind resistance. If you want to race or gain a lot of speed, consider lowering your handlebars. If you have to strain to reach your handlebars, they are too low.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Mix the liquid ingredients together. Sift the powdered sugar. Knead the dough. Make a skull.

Answer:
Combine the egg white, corn syrup, and vanilla in a very clean, totally greaseless bowl. If you want colored sugar skulls, add in the food coloring now. Use one or two drops for a light color, three or four for a rich, more vibrant color. Once all the lumps have been sussed out, add it to the liquid mixture with a wooden spoon, spoonful by spoonful. Mix everything together until not quite one uniform consistency. When the sugar is nearly incorporated into the liquid, start kneading with your fingertips to form the dough into a ball. Dust the countertop with cornstarch, and continue kneading until you have a smooth paste. Mix well with your hands until every bit of sugar is moistened. If your fingerprints remain when you squeeze the sugar in your hand, it is ready to mold. It should feel like cool, beach sand. If it doesn't hold together, mixture is too dry. Remember, water sinks, so keep the sugar mixture mixed up frequently as you make your sugar skulls. When the dough is ready, put it in a plastic bag to chill in the refrigerator. You can store the chilled dough for several months. When you're ready, divide the dough into as many parts as the number of skulls you want to make. Take a section and roll it into a ball. Squeeze and pinch the ball into a skull shape. Using your fingers, add depressions for the eye sockets and mouth. Use a toothpick to carve out teeth and to smooth out any rough edges. Skull molds work too and are available just for this purpose.
