Summarize the following:
Pretending that nothing is wrong isn’t the way to handle a conflict. Begin by admitting there’s a problem that needs resolution. Acknowledge the conflict and the roles you and the other person have played in creating or sustaining the problem. Be honest with yourself about your own role in the situation.  Think about what factors are influencing the problem, such as scheduling, personality conflicts, feeling overworked, or disrupting some kind of perceived pecking order.  Look at not only your side, but the other side as well. Looking at both sides can help you understand the problem from both perspectives. If the conflict is not personal, don’t make it personal. Put your focus on the problem and finding ways to solve that problem. You can’t change the person, and you will likely continue working with them. Even if you don’t want to be friends with the person, keep your focus on the problem without making it a personal issue. It’s easy to feel personally attacked for something, especially if it’s regarding your work. Do your best to not take things personally and keep everything within the lens of your work. It is important to address issues as soon as possible to prevent them from becoming larger issues in the future. If you notice a problem, then address it right away. For example, you could hold a meeting to discuss the issue and work together to find a solution.   Don’t wait for the person to come to you. Be the first one to bring up the problem, no matter what your role is. Sometimes a conflict can arise over a personal failure. Even so, handling failure at work with honesty and integrity can do much to prevent even worse conflicts from emerging.

summary: Acknowledge the conflict. Focus on the problem, not the person. Take the initiative.


Summarize the following:
In a large saucepan, combine the milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla. Cook on medium low heat until the mixture comes to a low boil, stirring occasionally. Failing to stir the milk mixture as it boils can cause it to burn and stick to the bottom of the pan, which may ruin the taste of your eggnog. In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks and the sugar, and beat or whisk until fluffy. If using an electric beater, beat the egg mixture on low speed for one or two minutes. Whisk the milk mixture into the room temperature egg mixture until the ingredients are well incorporated. Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan. Cook it over medium heat until it becomes thick, which takes about three to five minutes.  Eggs must be tempered, which means it's important to add the milk mixture gradually to the room temperature egg mixture. Combining them too quickly or adding the eggs directly to the hot saucepan can cause the eggs to curdle and ruin the eggnog. Let it cool at room temperature for about an hour or two, or until the mixture itself reaches room temperature Stir in the cream and rum or brandy. Mix the eggnog well. Feel free to skip the rum/brandy for a non-alcoholic version. However, keep in mind that non-alcoholic eggnog will spoil faster, so don't store it for too long before you drink it. Refrigerate it overnight to let the flavors combine, and serve with grated nutmeg and a cinnamon stick garnish. The eggnog is best if enjoyed within several days. Refrigerate unused portions and toss it after a week or if the eggnog develops a foul odor.

summary: Create the milk mixture. Make the egg mixture. Add the milk mixture slowly to the egg mixture and cook. Remove the eggnog from the burner. Add the remaining the ingredients. Cover the eggnog tightly with plastic wrap.

Get a fresh dandelion and squeeze the stem from the bottom to the top until the juice begins to come out. Gather this juice on a cotton swab and place the swab on your skin tag. Repeat this process up to four times a day. The juice may dry the tag until it falls off. Choose another removal method if you are allergic to plants such as dandelions. Lemons are highly acidic and that makes them excellent for antiseptic use. Squeeze fresh lemon juice into a bowl. Dip a cotton ball into the bowl. Place the ball onto the skin tag. Repeat up to three times a day. This method is effective only after numerous applications. Get a handful of fresh figs and remove the stems. Grind the stems together in a small bowl to produce juice. Dip a cotton ball into this juice and apply it to your skin tag. You can apply this juice up to four times a day. The skin tag may drop off by four weeks. Aside from anecdotal evidence the effectiveness of this method is difficult to gauge. Purchase a can of pineapple juice at the store or cut up a fresh pineapple and squeeze out the juice. Dip a cotton ball into the juice and apply it to your skin tag. You can apply this up to three times per day. In a week or so you may notice your skin tag starting to dissolve away. The effectiveness of this method depends on how your skin reacts to the acidic pineapple juice.
summary: Apply dandelion stem juice. Apply lemon juice. Apply fig stem juice. Apply pineapple juice.
