INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Communication is perhaps the most important leadership quality, and one that runs through all of the other important qualities. One of the keys to good communication is enabling positive and sometimes robust dialogue on problems and solutions. There are different styles of leadership, but someone who consistently shuts down debates and stifles discussions is unlikely to command the support of others for too long. Ask and encourage open questions, rather than constrictive ones. Highlight areas of agreement first, and deal with the disagreements second. Don't be overbearing, and facilitate an open environment where people are free to talk without fear. Positive body language can help you come across as dynamic, open and cooperative. It can also help you to make a strong impression when you are talking, and increase the power and effectiveness of your words. One good rule is to have body language that is consistent with what you are saying. Don't, for example, ask someone to do something while looking down at the floor. Instead make eye contact and be open and engaging. To have positive and affirmative body language while talking, try to maintain eye contact, stand tall and straight, and relax your face. Your body language may be interpreted as how you are really feeling, so try to have body language that reflects the qualities and approach of a good leader. To be a good communicator, you need to be a good listener. If you make the effort to listen to somebody, she will see that and come to think of you as someone she can talk to. This is an important leadership quality to develop. Body language is important, so try to maintain eye contact with the person you are talking to. To be an active listener: Don't judge people. Pay complete attention to the person you are talking to. Try to understand others, before you try make yourself understood. Don't interrupt unnecessarily.

SUMMARY: Enable effective dialogue. Have positive body language. Be an active listener.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you work out, your body normally relies on stored glucose and the oxygen you breathe to fuel your body. However, a hard workout can push your body too far too fast, making it hard for your oxygen and glucose stores to keep up. Your body then releases lactic acid to fuel your body, which is called going into an anaerobic state. Lactic acid is also called lactate. Your body can only continue in this anaerobic state for so long. You'll naturally feel fatigued as you reach your limit. Lactic acid naturally results when your body converts glucose to energy during exercise. It actually allows your body to absorb and use this energy. However, it can become a problem if you push yourself too hard for too long. In most cases, the affects will go away on their own. It's possible for too much lactic acid to cause lactic acidosis, but this is not a common condition. While it's not usually a concern if the lactic acid builds up as a result of working out, lactic acidosis can happen. If you recognize symptoms of this condition, talk to your medical provider. Do not attempt to diagnose yourself. These are the symptoms of lactic acidosis: Feeling disoriented General weakness Yellowing of the skin Yellowing of your eyes Breathing issues, such as shallow or rapid breathing Rapid heart rate Pain or cramping in your muscles Abdominal pain and discomfort Fatigue Headaches Appetite problems Diarrhea, nausea, and/or vomiting Lactic acid is often wrongly accused of being responsible for the post-workout muscle soreness experienced 1 to 3 days after a hard workout. However, new research shows that lactic acid (which operates as a temporary fuel source during intense physical activity) leaves your system within an hour of the end of a workout, so it cannot be responsible for the pain felt days later. The latest theory suggests that this muscle pain -- also known as delayed onset muscle soreness or DOMS -- is the result of damage to the muscle cells during intense exercise. This causes inflammation, swelling and tenderness as the muscles repair themselves.

SUMMARY: Notice the burning sensation in your muscles caused by lactic acid. Recognize that lactic acid is useful for your body in most cases. Watch for symptoms of harmful lactic acid buildup. Avoid associating lactic acid with muscle soreness post-workout.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The key to continued eligibility for unemployment benefits is that you are able and available for work. If you weren't both able and available all 7 days of the week, your benefits may be reduced. For example, you may have been unable to work for 2 days because you were sick. Be honest about this in your claim certification. If you were unavailable for any other reason, state that reason specifically. You may be able to keep your full benefits for the week if you were unavailable through no fault of your own. You're expected to actively look for work the entire time you're getting unemployment benefits. Some states may have specific job search sites you're supposed to use. You may also be required to attend a specific number of interviews each week, or submit a specific number of applications. Write down the name and address of any company where you submitted an application, along with the job title for which you applied. Include the date you submitted each application, and the current status of that application. This includes any follow-up calls you've made to the company or any letters you've received regarding your application. If you had job interviews over the course of the week covered by your certification, provide the name of the employer along with the date and time of the interview. You may also include the job title for which you were interviewed. If you scheduled future interviews, you may want to list those as well, along with the date when the interview is scheduled. Refusing a job offer may mean you're no longer eligible for unemployment benefits. However, you're not required to accept just any job offer as a condition of keeping your benefits. You are only required to accept an offer that is suitable for your educational background and work experience. For example, if you have a law degree, you wouldn't be required to accept an offer to be a clerk at a supermarket or fast food restaurant. If you turned down an offer but believe it wasn't in keeping with your qualifications, be prepared to explain that.

SUMMARY: Explain when you were able and available to work. Describe your job search. List any job interviews you had. Be honest if you turned down employment.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Turns go at the end of a quick, quick, slow, slow set. After you complete a set, the lead will twirl the follower. The turn will replace a set of steps so that the pattern of the dance isn't affected. You and your partner will hold hands throughout the turn. However, the lead will remove their hand from the follower's shoulder blade, and the follower will let go of the lead's arm. As you turn, raise your joined hands so that it will be easier for the follower to twirl. It's okay to temporarily release each other's hands during the turn if necessary. Don't twist your wrist as you turn. If you're the follower, quickly turn as you count out your quick, 1 beat steps. If you're leading, take 2 quick steps forward but make sure you're giving your partner enough room to turn. It's still up to the lead to keep the dance moving forward at the right pace. After the turn, get back into your dancing frame. Then, take 2 slow steps to complete the set. Continue into your next set of steps.

SUMMARY:
Add the turn after you complete a set of steps. Keep holding hands but release each other's shoulder and bicep. Turn on the 2 quick steps if you're following. Return to your dancing position on the slow steps.
