In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: How you cope with weight gain depends on the stimulus for the gain. You need to think carefully about these reasons before you can decide how to take action.  If you have gained weight as a result of a medical condition, consider talking to your doctor for an examination or medication change.  If you have gained weight after recovering from an eating disorder, congratulations. It takes a great deal of courage to see your weight rise when every part of you wants to control it. Remember, returning to a healthy weight is an important step in recovery--keep up the good work.  If you have gained weight after losing a significant amount of weight, know that diets often increase the risk of you gaining the weight back after you return to your normal eating habits. Develop a long-term, non-restrictive system that incorporates your nutrition needs and physical activity for best results. Depending on your case, you may be interested in losing the weight you have gained. If you choose to do this, know that healthy weight loss takes time. Losing weight without gaining it back means adopting a healthier lifestyle; it is not a short-term fix. Talk to your doctor or dietitian about creating a weight loss plan that takes your medical history, lifestyle, and goals into consideration. Somewhere between 25% to 70% of your body is predetermined by genes. If you have mostly been slender your whole life and recently gained weight, it may be the same pattern that your parents or grandparents experienced. You must understand that not every body or frame is meant to be very thin. Focus more on health rather than size, and you will find yourself becoming less insecure about your body. People may gain weight and choose to hide themselves in over-sized clothing. Taking this route can actually make you feel even more insecure. Instead, buy clothes that are tailored to fit your body shape and size. Also, consider pieces that highlight your best features.
Summary: Think about the cause for the weight gain. Decide if you want to lose weight. Consider genetics. Buy clothes that flatter.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before attempting to measure the TDS of your sample, make sure to prepare a clean, clear space with the appropriate instruments and tools for the task. If you do not have access to the materials necessary for this procedure, they can all be purchased easily online. You will need the following:  A clean, properly sterilized beaker that is free of dust or other particles A sample of the water you want to analyze, collected into the sterilized beaker. Ideally, the sample should be at 25° C (or 77° F) at the time of analysis. An electrical conductivity meter — a device used to measure a solution's ability to conduct electricity. It works by releasing a current into a liquid, then measuring the resistance. Make sure your beaker with the water sample in it is placed on a flat, stable surface. Turn on the electrical conductivity meter, then insert the measuring lead into the sample. Wait for the reading on the conductivity meter to become stable before noting the result.  You may have to wait a few seconds before the reading stabilizes, but it's important that you wait until the number on the display stops changing. The measurement displayed on the electrical conductivity meter is the purity of the water, measured in µS (micro-Siemens). The lower the µS value, the purer the water, with 0 µS being pure, unpolluted H20. The basic formula for calculating total dissolved solids looks like the above illustration. In the formula, TDS is measured in mg/L, EC is the conductivity of your sample (the reading from your electrical conductivity meter), and ke is the correlation factor. The correlation factor depends on the liquid being used as the sample, and it may also vary according to atmospheric conditions. It varies between 0.55 and 0.8.  In the example above, say the correlation factor at the current temperature and in the current pressure conditions is 0.67. Plug your values into the formula. The TDS for your sample is therefore 288.1 mg/L. Water with a TDS of less than 500 mg/L meets the Environmental Protection Agency's standards for drinking water.   A high TDS does not necessarily mean that water is unsafe for consumption; it may just suggest that the water will have unpleasant aesthetic qualities in terms of color, taste, smell, etc. If you are concerned about the safety of your drinking water, you should have your water professionally tested.
Summary: Gather your materials. Measure the conductivity of the sample. Plug your data into the TDS formula.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: One of the biggest drains of love for your life is being surrounded by people who are constantly negative, whether that means criticizing you or just complaining about everything going on around them. Try to identify these people and distance yourself from them. It's obviously more complicated if you are close to these people, like a parent or a best friend. In that case, you may want to try to help them figure out what's going off the rails in their life, so that they can also learn to love their life. Be sure to show them this article. Messy living spaces can actually have a powerful impact on your mind. They can signal to you that having a messy life is acceptable. They can also cause you to feel less powerful and less in control of what's going around you. If you want to love your life, you need to feel a sense of mastery, like you are capable of handling the challenges that life will throw your way. With this in mind, be sure to keep your living areas clean, so that you won't have this extra baggage of messiness in the back of your mind. If there's a huge mess to deal with, focus on one area at a time. You can also focus on different types of mess at a time: get all the trash out first, then put your clothes away, then deal with smaller miscellaneous items. It's not always easy to cut back on work, but if you think you are overworking yourself and suffering because of it, try to find ways to correct that imbalance.  Go back to school if you aren't making enough to live on. If you're able, take a pay cut to work fewer hours or have fewer responsibilities. Search for new jobs that would allow you more freedom to live your life. Write down a list of things you'd like to change about your life that you think would help you love your life more fully. This could be anything from exercising more often to cooking more and eating out less.  Try to focus on small goals at first, or lay out larger goals in manageable steps. It won't help to plan to make huge lifestyle changes if you bite off more than you can chew and end up discouraged. Instead of planning to run a marathon, start with half a mile or a mile. That way you can feel accomplished at each milestone and keep your motivation up. If you're having a lot of conflict with a friend or family member, if you're not speaking to someone you care about, make an effort to repair the relationship. Healthy relationships are important to your well-being and will help you to love your life.  Try to communicate effectively with them. You can say "I'm sad that we've been having difficulties lately. Is there anything you'd like to say to me, or anything I can do to make things better?" Even if you feel like it's someone else's fault, take the initiative to repair the situation for both of your sake. If the relationship is beyond repair, try to see it as an opportunity to make new friends and start a new chapter in your life, rather than seeing it only as an ending or a failure.
Summary:
Remove negative people from your life. Clean your living space. Take a look at your work-life balance. Make a "changes" list. Repair your relationships.
