Article: Greeters should practice their active listening skills and engage in real, genuine interactions with first-time visitors. Open yourselves up to the new people and help them to feel welcome by showing an interest in where they come from, what they're looking for, and who they are. Learn visitors' names and remember them. Perhaps the most effective way to make a new visitor feel welcomed is to help them form bonds with regular members. One of the main reasons why people feel intimidated at a new church is because they don't know anyone. That fear quickly disappears when they've made new relationships with others, so do your best to help that process along. New visitors to a church should always meet the pastor before they leave, if they're interested. Make an introduction after the sermon. If the visitors aren't interested, don't force it. After introducing yourself, invite the new visitors to sit with you and your family, so they'll feel welcome, as if they've already made a friend at the church. Looking at a crowded church auditorium for the first time can be intimidating for new visitors, but if you give them one less thing to stress about, the experience will be much better for guests. Many larger churches will have childcare services in place during the service, so it's a good idea to make this available to first-time visitors and help facilitate the process if they're interested and have children. It can be an embarrassing thing to ask, and some visitors may not even be aware of the service. If visitors are uncomfortable leaving their children in a nursery at a church they've never visited before, that's not unreasonable. Even if it's uncommon, try to accommodate new guests as much as possible. Sunday morning Bible study classes and weekly church get togethers are great events to which you should invite new visitors. You can also invite them to upcoming one-time events, such as a weekend picnic or a holiday pageant. Make them feel welcome and informed. Invite visitors out for a meal, or other after-church gathering. If after-church potlucks or other get-togethers are common at your church, make visitors feel welcome by inviting them and including them in the festivities, as if they were a member. Even informal get-togethers at the buffet down the road can give guests a feel for the congregation and a sense of welcome. It may be just what they're looking for. Send a follow-up note to visitors if you collect their contact information from the guest book. You don't need to automatically sign them up for weekly church newsletters and bulletins, but sending a short note expressing how much you enjoyed meeting the visitors would be a wonderful way of inviting them back to the church.

Problem: Article: Papaya can be hard to find in most places, especially unripe, the way it needs to be for som tam. If you have trouble finding papaya, simply swap it out for kohlrabi, cabbage mix, daikon radish or cucumber. Any of these mild root vegetables will have the right crunchy texture, and when shredded or julienned will be perfect for soaking up the tangy dressing. When substituting other vegetables for papaya, make sure you buy them before they're fully ripe so that they'll be firm. Mild melons like cantaloupe can also work as a tasty replacement. If you're a vegan, or just find fish sauce to be particularly unpalatable, just add a little extra salt to the dressing instead. A little white vinegar can also do the trick, and will provide the liquid you need to blend the dressing. The main purpose of the fish sauce is impart a salty, pungent flavor, so it's easy to achieve the same effect without having to work with an ingredient you can't stomach. Other salty condiments like soy sauce are not recommended, as they'll throw off the flavors of the salad. Palm sugar is the go-to sweetener for most Southeast Asian and Malaysian cuisine, but it's not available everywhere, and it might taste a bit strange to those who aren't used to it. Luckily, light brown sugar makes a perfect replacement. It's sweet and just a bit earthy, and it will dissolve and thicken well in the lime juice. Play around with the amount of sugar that goes into the dressing if you want to offset the spice of the chilies. Since the components of som tam are prepared individually and then assembled, it's an easy recipe to customize. Adjust the amounts of herbs and aromatics to taste, or substitute some of your other favorite vegetables instead. You might choose to crank up the heat from the chilies, or leave them out altogether. The choices are nearly endless! Top the salad with fresh grilled shrimp, beef or chicken rather than dried shrimp for a heartier meal version of som tam.
Summary: Substitute other root vegetables for papaya. Use salt in place of fish sauce. Add brown sugar for sweetness. Come up with your own variations.

Facial hair will grow in different directions on different parts of the face. Try to note the directions before applying your shaving cream. Do not pull your skin taut when shaving as this can cause ingrown hairs. After each stroke, rinse the razor well. This removes any excess shaving cream, dead skin or hair build up from the blades. Don't press the razor too hard. Remember that the blade does the work, not your muscles. When shaving under the nose, it is common for hair to grow down towards the tip and outwards. To prevent cuts, tuck your top lip under your teeth. This will pull your skin taut and will allow better exposure in such a small area. Use the razor and do short, small strokes, while working from the outside towards the middle of the lip. Don't be afraid to only use the corner of the blade. Small strokes will allow for more accuracy and closeness. Use a similar trick for shaving the chin, by pulling your lower lip up around your teeth. This will flatten some curves of the chin. When shaving the chin, use short strokes and try your best for for a slight over-lap. The overlap will catch any missed hairs. Don't be afraid to open your mouth and move your jaw in order to have optimum exposure on your chin. Hair on the neck will often grow upwards. Use the razor in upward, smooth strokes. Keep in mind the neck can be a very sensitive area, so it is important to shave efficiently. If your skin is not overly sensitive, do one last shave gently against the grain of the hair. This will cut the stubble directly at the skin but is to be used with caution, as not all faces can withstand this contact. When shaving against the grain, the hair is cut as close to the skin as possible. This will give the closest shave possible, but will also remove extra skin. While removing some skin is a normal part of the shaving process, this extra step can cause irritation such as bumps, ingrown hairs, or rashes. Hence, this step may be unacceptable on more sensitive parts of your face. Use cool water or a gentle facial cleanser to remove any remaining cream or loose hairs off your face. When drying your face, make sure to use a clean towel. Patting your skin dry, rather than rubbing it, prevents the skin from facing further irritation. While your face is moist but not wet, squeeze or spray a small amount of your aftershave into your hands. Rub your hands together and gently apply the aftershave to your shaved face and neck.
