Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make time for making friends. Fight your fear of rejection. Talk to everyone you meet to overcome social anxiety.

Answer: You may feel too stressed or too busy to start all over making new friends. However, having friends can actually reduce your stress and lend you support. It takes time and effort to make friends, but it's worth it in the long run. Schedule time for your friends the same way you do for anything else. Make it part of your weekly routine to meet up with a friend. If you can't make a weekly hang out happen, try for a monthly hang out. When you hang out with a friend, don't let the get together end without making future plans. Set a date to hang out again, and stick to it. If you want to make friends you're going to have to put yourself our there, and that can be intimidating. Nobody wants to be rejected, but you can't let the fear of rejection control you. Don't treat rejection like it's the end of the world. Keeping rejection in perspective will help you overcome it. You won't like everyone you meet, and everyone you meet won't like you. When you encounter rejection, don't let it keep you from going out. See if there is anything you can learn from the experience. If they idea of talking to a complete stranger causes you to freeze up, you may have some stranger anxiety. Talking to everyone you meet may seem like an impossible task, but if you want to get over your anxiety, you'll have to make an effort to interact. Start with talking to people you interact with on a daily basis. For example, when you go to a coffee shop, talk with the clerk who takes your order. Ask something like, "How's your day going?" Get used to making small talk with random people you see throughout your day. If you're in school, try talking with some of your classmates before and after class. Ask about things you're interested in and see what kind of response you get. For example, you could ask someone, "Hey, did you see that episode of [favorite TV show] last night," or "Have you ever heard of [favorite band]?" Questions about pop culture are good ways to start small talk, and could lead to good conversation. As you practice talking to people, speak with confidence and try to make eye contact. Even if it feels unnatural at first, keep doing it. You want to get used to this kind of behavior so that the next time you go out, talking to people will seem easier.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Jump up the slope. Move to the side of the avalanche. Let go of your heavy equipment. Hold on to something. Start swimming.

Answer: Most avalanche victims trigger the avalanche themselves, and sometimes the avalanche will start right beneath their feet. If this happens, try to jump up the slope, beyond the fracture line. An avalanche happens so quickly that it's almost impossible to react fast enough to do this, but it has been done. Whether the avalanche starts above you or beneath you, you may be able to make your way toward the side. Don't hesitate: move as quickly as possible to the side of the avalanche slope. If the avalanche begins well above you, you may be able to get out of its path before it reaches you. The snow will be moving fastest near the center of the flow, and that's also where the highest volume of snow will be. You want your body to be as lightweight as possible, so let of your gear, but keep your backpack, it may protect your neck and back. This raises the chances that you'll be able to stay toward the surface of the snow. It goes without saying that you should not let go of survival equipment, such as a transceiver and probe or snow shovel; you'll need these if you get buried. People searching for you later may be able to find you if they see some pieces of equipment on the surface of the snow, so you could let go of a glove or something else that's light to increase the chances they'll find you. If you're unable to escape the avalanche, try to grab on to a boulder or sturdy tree. If it's a small avalanche, or if you're near the edge of the avalanche, you may be able to hold on until the flow of snow passes you. Even if you get ripped away from the object you're holding, if you can succeed in delaying your departure downhill, you have a better chance of not being buried or, at least, of not being buried as deeply. Keep in mind that a very powerful avalanche can carry away even large rocks and trees... This is essential to helping you stay near the surface of the snow. The human body is much denser than snow, so you'll tend to sink as you get carried downhill. Try to stay afloat by kicking your feet and thrashing your arms in a swimming motion. Swim on your back. This way your face is turned toward the surface, giving you a better chance of getting oxygen more quickly if you get buried. Swim uphill. Swimming up will get you closer to the surface of the snow.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Turn the master volume and channel faders down completely. Plug microphones into channels using XLR cables. Attach instruments to the line inputs on your mixer. Connect the mixer output to an audio interface with TRS cables to use monitors. Plug headphones into the "Phones" port on the mixer. Turn on your mixer using the power switch.

Answer:
Look for the main volume control on the bottom right side of the mixer, which is usually labeled "Main Mix" or something similar. The faders are knobs or sliders that control the volumes of individual inputs found along the bottom of the mixer and are either knobs or sliders. If the controls are knobs, turn them counterclockwise until they don't go any further. If the controls are sliders, pull them down as far as you can to lower the volume. If you turn on the mixer without turning the volume and faders down, you could create loud feedback or damage the mixer. The main volume control and faders usually have a different color than the other controls so you can easily tell them apart. XLR cables are used to plug microphones in, and the ends have 3 pins inside a metal cylinder. Your mixer will either have XLR ports along the top edge or on the back side of the mixer. Plug the end of the XLR cable into the microphone you're using. Put the other end of the XLR cable in one of the ports on the mixer that has 3 small holes inside a circle The number above the port determines the input channel, which is a column on your mixer with knobs that controls that single input. You can buy XLR cables from a music supply store or online. The number of inputs you can have on your mixer depends on how many channels it has. An 8-channel mixer can have up to 8 different inputs while a 32-channel mixer can have 32 sources. The line inputs on your mixer are found near the XLR ports for each channel and fit 6.35 mm audio jacks. Plug the end of your audio cable into the instrument you're hooking up. Then choose a channel on your mixer that doesn't have another cable attached to it, and attach the other end of the audio cable to the line input. The number above the input tells you which channel controls the audio for the instrument. You cannot plug an instrument into a line input on a channel that already has an XLR cable plugged into it. You can also buy audio cables for instruments that attach to a mixer with an XLR cable. Either will work for your audio. TRS cables are a balanced audio source, meaning you'll get less feedback and noise from your inputs, and they look like 6.35 mm headphone jacks on the end. Locate the master output ports near the top of the mixer or on the side by the other ports. Plug one of the cables into the port labeled "L" and a second cable in the port labeled "R." Run the cables to your audio interface and plug them into the matching input ports on the back of the interface. You can get an audio interface and TRS cables online or from a music store. Interfaces allow you to play the audio from your mixer through speaker monitors or on a computer. Listening to your mixer through headphones allows you to hear the levels clearly so you can tweak them later on. Use a 6.35 mm headphone jack to plug in your headphones to the mixer. Make sure the headphone cord doesn't tangle around any of the knobs. You don't need to use headphones if you don't want to. The power switch is usually on the back of the mixer or on the top right by the other knobs. Check that all of the volume and fader controls are still turned down before flipping the switch to turn it on. You will see a light turn on as soon as the power is connected. Some mixers may have a switch labeled "phantom" which supplies electricity to microphones that require it. If you have a microphone that uses phantom power, also turn on the switch.
