Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Navigate to the movie you want imported to iTunes for use with Apple TV from its storage location on your computer. Verify that the format of your movie is compatible for use with Apple TV. Open the iTunes application on your computer. Click and drag your movie file from its storage location, then drop the file into iTunes.

Answer: Video files in formats of .m4v, .mp4, and .mov are compatible with Apple TV; however, videos with the formats of .avi and .wmv will not work with Apple TV. Go to the Apple Support link ending with "HT1532#" in the Sources section of this article to access a complete list of video formats that will, and will not work with Apple TV.  You can now access the movie from the "Movies" folder of your iTunes library, and sync it with Apple TV.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Select your chicken. Prepare the chicken for the marinade. Don't wash your chicken.

Answer: You can buy your chicken at your local grocery store. Most Chicken 65 recipes call for boneless chicken. The final dish is reminiscent of chicken nuggets—only these are tastier, spicier, grown-up nuggets!  You can use boneless chicken tenders or cut up boneless chicken breasts. Many recipes recommend using boneless chicken thighs; the darker meat on the thigh will be juicier than white meat. It's up to you whether you want to remove the skin on your chicken pieces. Remove your chicken from its packaging and pat it dry with a paper towel. Then, cut it into bite-sized pieces. The pieces should be approximately 1-2 inches, although you can make them bigger or smaller if you have specific plans in mind. Many recipes recommend that you wash your chicken, but there is no need for this. In fact, research consistently shows that washing your chicken will only spread potentially harmful bacteria around your sink and prep areas. Cooking your chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees will be sufficient to kill any harmful bacteria.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Write the author’s name in the quote introduction instead of the in-text citation. Put the author’s last name in the parenthetical citation if you omit it in the quote intro. Include the publication date and page number in parenthesis.

Answer: In APA format, you may choose to include the author’s name in the introduction to the quote. This is the part of the sentence that is comprised of your own words and leads into the words of the quotation. In its most basic form, a quote introduction looks like this: “According to (author’s name)…” Use the author’s last name and first initial, followed by a period.  For example: “According to J. O’Neil and J. Egan, “The gender-role journey metaphor provides a context for individuals to analyze their gender-role socialization and sexism in their lives” (1992, p. 111).” If you include the author’s name in the quote intro, you don’t need to include it in the parenthetical in-text citation. If you don’t refer to the name of the book chapter’s author in the quote introduction, you need to include the last name in the parenthetical in-text citation that follows the quote.  For example: “(O’Neil, 1992, p. 111).” If you have 2 authors, include an ampersand sign (&) between the two last names, as seen here: “Recent research on gender role metaphors “provides a context for individuals to analyze their gender-role socialization and sexism in their lives” (O’Neil & Egan, 1992, p. 111).” If you have 3-5 authors, use commas to separate each name and include an ampersand before the final name. If you have more than 5 authors, just write the first listed author’s last name, followed by a comma, then “et al.” and a comma. Then add the publication date and page number, as necessary: “(Harris et al., 2001).” In your parenthetical in-text citation, write the author’s last name (if you didn’t include it in the quote intro), followed by a comma, then the publication date, followed by another comma, and end with the page number (p. X). Close the parenthesis and add a period to complete the sentence.  For example: “According to J. O’Neil and J. Egan, “The gender-role journey metaphor provides a context for individuals to analyze their gender-role socialization and sexism in their lives” (1992, p. 111).” Sometimes, you may want to include the publication date in parentheses in the quote introduction (to indicate recent research, etc.). In this case, you don’t need to list the publication date in the parenthetical citation. For example: “According to J. O’Neil and J. Egan (1992), “The gender-role journey metaphor provides a context for individuals to analyze their gender-role socialization and sexism in their lives” (p. 111).”


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Realize when enough is enough. Opt out of interactions. Split the holidays. Know when to throw in the towel. Limit or end interactions with your children, if necessary.

Answer:
If your in-law's insults or interference is taking a big toll on your self-esteem or your relationship with your partner, and more diplomatic methods have failed, it is probably time to get some distance.  It is noble to want to keep the peace, not to ruffle feathers, to keep your spouse and his / her family happy.  But don't allow yourself to be hurt or walked over. Involve your spouse closely in this decision.  Be clear as to why this is important and necessary. If a fight brews or you take an emotional beating every time you visit your in-laws, find ways to limit your time together.  There's no law that says your spouse can't see his or her parents alone, at least sometimes. Try not to lie about why you can't visit, but respectfully decline invitations every so often.  Surely there is some work-related related reason you can legitimately claim, or job around the house that really does need done. If you've declined one time too many with a flimsy excuse, you may just have to lay it all out there.  Say something like "Let's face it, whenever we get together things just don't end up well, so it's best for all of us if we stick to holidays and special events." Especially if your in-laws don't get along with your family, remember that they don’t need to spend holidays -- or most other events -- together.  And, in general, you are allowed to want to spend at least some holidays just with your spouse and kids, if you have any.  You and your spouse can decide on a clear schedule that splits all major holidays and summertime events.  Consider rotating so that each side gets a regular turn for prime time on Thanksgiving Day, etc.  Establish a tradition of taking a trip with just your spouse and kids for a major holiday or two each year.  Neither side can accuse you of playing favorites. In the worst-case scenario, you just may have to cut off contact with your in-law(s).  This is a drastic step, but if it salvages your marriage and/or your sanity, it is worth doing.  Clearly explain to your spouse that you feel disrespected, manipulated or abused and see no other alternative.  Realize how difficult it will be for your spouse, but explain why you think it will benefit everyone in the long run. "Breaking up" with an in-law is no easier than breaking off a romantic relationship, and requires a similar mix of honesty, strength, and compassion.  Even if they do not respect you, give them (and your spouse) the respect of telling them directly that you are cutting off interactions. Your spouse is going to be stuck in the middle of this situation, no matter what.  Try not to force an ultimatum -- "it's me or them" -- even if you expect to win it.  Let your spouse determine how (or in the worst situations, if) he or she will continue the relationship with his / her parents without your involvement. If your in-law's behavior is having a negative impact upon your children, do what is necessary to protect them, including limiting or cutting off contact.  You'll almost certainly want to present a united front with your spouse on this subject.  Cutting down contact with grandchildren is not likely to be taken well, but remember that your first responsibility as a parent is doing what is best for your child, not making everyone happy. Laws on grandparents' rights vary by state and are in constant flux, but generally speaking, if the parents of a child are in a stable relationship together, grandparents have little or no visitation rights.
