Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Squeeze your pelvic floor muscles for five seconds. Release your muscles for ten seconds. Repeat the exercise ten times. Build toward squeezing your pelvic floor muscles for ten seconds at a time. Do pull-in Kegels.

Answer: When you're just starting off, this is a great exercise. You don't want to strain those muscles too much by squeezing them for too long. If five is even too long for you, you can begin by squeezing those muscles for just 2-3 seconds. Ideally, you should always give those pelvic floor muscles a ten-second break before you repeat the exercise. This gives them enough time to relax and to avoid strain. Count to ten before you begin the next repetition. This can be considered one set of Kegels. If you started off by squeezing those muscles for five seconds, then squeeze them for five seconds, relax them for ten, and repeat this exercise ten times. This should be enough Kegels for one time and you should do the same set of ten 3-4 times a day, but no more. You can increase the amount of seconds that you squeeze those muscles each week. There's no need to do them for any longer, or to do more than one set of them per time. Once you've reached the magic number of ten seconds, stick to it, and continue to do one set of 10 10-second squeezes 3-4 times a day. This is another variation on the Kegel. To perform a pull-in kegel, think of your pelvic floor muscles as a vacuum. Tense your buttocks and pull your legs up and in. Hold this position for 5 seconds and then release it. Do this 10 times in a row. It should take about 50 seconds to complete.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take it slow. Build stronger communication. Do something together.

Answer: Even after forgiveness, the rawness of the conflict might still linger and issues of trust are still not strong. Don't rush back too soon. Instead take the time and necessary steps to rebuild your trust by showing maturity, patience, and understanding. Don't assume that once you are forgiven that everything will go back to the way it was. It will take time to establish the same level of understanding you had before the disagreement. Remember who you are giving valuable time and attention to and try to get her to reciprocate. That way, the slower you go the faster you will get to forgiveness. Finding out if she is on the same page as you can help you formulate reasonable and realistic expectations moving forward. Take time to make sure you are on the same page. Taking things slowly will put her mind at ease and encourage her to communicate more clearly about future expectations. It will also give you time to bond all over again. Good communication is the key to any kind of healthy relationship. If she accepts your sincere apology, start building better lines of communication so that you talk through any issues in the future. Being open to communication might mean discussing things that you never have before and trusting her to empathize with you. Pay closer attention to nonverbal signs that you did in the past. For example, look for signs in body language, tone of voice, or eye contact. These nonverbal signs are important, but you have to be patient and learn how to read them. These can be either positive or negative. Always stay focused on the present moment. Try not to give off disinterested signs or be thinking about something else when she is talking to you. Be interested in talking and listening to her while you are together. Minimize your emotions when discussing serious topics like money, sex, politics, or religious beliefs. These are topics are lightning rods for emotional responses. Remain rational and understanding, even bite your tongue if necessary, or even cede the conversation in their favor to avoid an emotional outburst. Remember communication is not just talking face-to-face but other ways exist: nonverbal, phone, texting, email, and Facebook or Twitter. Always be cautious of the words you type, but keep in mind that a friendly message once in a while to let them know you are thinking about them is a good idea. Although we find comfort in routine, try to find something new to do together to build a connection. Think about things you both enjoy like sports, amusement parks, theater, cooking, or relaxing in the park. If you spend all your time analyzing each other and trying to find solutions, you will forget to have fun and the reasons why you care about her in the first place. It can also be with friends. Make sure it is a time you can relax without tension and simply enjoy the moment together or with friends. Don't try too hard. Getting too elaborate might seem too formal or serious. Keep your focus on fun and enjoying the experience. Take it slow. Don't try to do something special every night. Instead, plan something for day during the weekend. Let the memories sink in during the week so that she will realize how much you really care about her.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Preheat the oven and place the ham in a roasting pan. Cover the ham with foil and bake it for several hours. Heat the jam. Strain the jam to remove the solids. Mix the mustard, maple syrup, rum, and garlic into the jam. Brush the glaze over the ham and return to the oven. Glaze the ham every 15 minutes for another hour. Transfer the ham to a platter and garnish with bay leaves.

Answer: Set the oven temperature to 350F (177C), and allow it to fully heat. Next, set a 10 to 12 pound (4.5 to 5.5 kg) smoked bone-in ham on a wire roasting rack inside a large roasting pan. The ham should be at room temperature when you place it in the roasting pan. Once the ham is in the pan, use foil to cover it securely. Place the ham in the preheated oven, and allow it to cook for four hours. About halfway through the baking process, rotate the pan to ensure even cooking. Add cup (115 g) of apricot jam to a small saucepan. Warm the jam over medium heat on the stove until it is completely liquified, which should take 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the jam occasionally as it cooks to ensure that it warms evenly. When the jam is liquified, place a fine mesh sieve over a small bowl. Pour the jam through the sieve to remove any seeds or other solids and discard them. Add 2 tablespoons (30 g) of Dijon mustard, cup pure (249 g) of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of dark rum, and a minced garlic clove to the jam. Stir well until all of the ingredients are fully blended. Once the ham has cooked for four hours, remove it from the oven. Use a basting brush to apply the glaze all over the ham, and then return it to the oven. Allow the ham to cook for about another hour. However, take it out of the oven every 15 minutes and apply more glaze to ensure a thick, flavorful crust. The ham is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140F (60C). Start checking the temperature with a digital thermometer when it's cooked for an hour. When the ham is finished cooking, take it out of the oven and place it on a serving platter. Garnish the ham with some bay leaves, and serve immediately.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consult your doctor. Discuss electrical cardioversion. Ask about catheter ablation. Choose a pacemaker if your heart beats too slowly. Ask your doctor about an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Discuss a heart Maze procedure.

Answer:
Your doctor will try available medications to control your arrhythmia before resorting to an invasive therapy option or inserting a rhythm-stabilizing device. If your arrhythmia doesn't respond to medication, the medications produce too many side effects, or your doctor determines that you're at risk for serious complications that require more than medication, then they will discuss your options. Which option is right for you will depend on your medical history and type of arrhythmia. If none of the anti-arrhythmic medications have effectively controlled your arrhythmia, then you may be a candidate for electrical cardioversion. Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter are the most common forms of arrhythmia that respond to electrical cardioversion. The procedure involves delivering a small electrical signal to your heart to stabilize the rhythm. An electrophysiologist can use catheter ablation to correct a variety of arrhythmias, including AFib, atrial flutter, and ventricular tachycardia, which is potentially life threatening. For this procedure, your doctor will insert a small catheter into your heart and deliver high-frequency currents to the tissue causing the arrhythmia. This essentially "disconnects" the faulty pathway, resulting in a normal heartbeat. Because this procedure is more invasive than electrical cardioversion, your doctor may try the latter option first, followed by ablation if necessary. This is a short procedure (two to four hours), and you can typically resume normal activities within a few days with a low risk of any complication. If your arrhythmia causes your heart to beat too slowly, then your doctor will likely discuss the option of a pacemaker. Unfortunately, no medications are available to treat a slow heart rate (bradycardia). A pacemaker includes a very small set of wires that measure the electrical activity in your heart. They connect to a small pulse generator that delivers a signal to normalize your heart's rate whenever it detects an abnormality. Though it sounds very invasive, the procedure is considered very safe and requires only one night in a hospital while the team monitors your heart rate and rhythm to ensure proper functioning of the device. Because of their ability to interfere with your pacemaker, you should avoid strong magnetic fields and power-generating equipment (getting an MRI or using arc welding equipment, for instance). You should also avoid storing an electronic device such as your cell phone in your chest pocket next to your pacemaker. An ICD is similar to a pacemaker (leads inserted into the heart connected to a pulse generator), but they are used to treat a wider range of arrhythmias, especially ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, both of which can be life threatening. Before you consider an ICD, your arrhythmia must be life-threatening and originate from an uncorrectable cause such as: acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), myocardial ischemia (inadequate blood flow to the heart muscle), or electrolyte imbalance and drug toxicity. If you choose an ICD, you can maintain a normal lifestyle, including taking part in sports and exercise. Your ICD may need to get checked several times a year, although their batteries last between five and seven years. To help protect the ICD's pulse generator, you will need to avoid large magnetic fields and energy-generating equipment (such as MRIs and arc welding equipment, for example). You should also avoid placing your cell phone or headphones within six inches of the device. If nothing else has controlled your atrial fibrillation, then your doctor may discuss the option of a heart Maze procedure, which can be minimally invasive cardiac surgery or is an open heart surgery. In the surgery, the doctor creates small cuts that are stitched together and scar tissue forms, which interferes with abnormal impulses.
