Article: If you have a Toddy Brewer or you simply want to try your hand at making cold-brewed, you need a very coarse grind. Coarsely-ground coffee bits are about the same size as black pepper corns. Use a light hand with your grinder to achieve this grind. If you have a fancy French press, you want the beans to be ground coarsely so they resemble cracked peppercorns or potting soil. The larger pieces of bean will create a cleaner cup of coffee, whereas a finer grind would result in a muddier final pour. If you have a Chemex or cafe solo brewer, grind it coarsely and give it just one extra pulse. Chemex and cafe solo brewers require a medium coarse grind. This is the most popular type of coffee maker, so chances are you'll need to grind your beans to medium at one point or another. Use this grind for both cone or flat-bottomed filters. A medium grind is the texture of sand. If you have a pour over cone, a vacuum pot or a siphon dripper, use a medium-find grind. If you're making special coffee, you'll need a special grind. A fine or extra-fine grind is the texture of flour. This can only be achieved with a burr grinder.

Article: As stated above, people with anger issues often rely on anger as a first reaction to any source of stress or frustration. One useful method of controlling or coping with your anger can be deliberately delaying any reaction you have to a situation. This delay will give you time to compose yourself before outwardly expressing anger towards those around you.  Many people use a method of counting to ten before they react to a stressful situation to ensure that they have had time to process the information they have just encountered and can offer an appropriate or measured response. If you are just now realizing that you are becoming angry too quickly or too often, there is a good chance that you are not a naturally angry person, but are just temporarily coping with a situation that is making you angry. Taking a vacation or some personal time off can contribute to lowering your overall stress level. Once you have taken this temporary leave, you can often come back to the situation that makes you angry with a new outlook and a greater level of composure. This should help to quell your expressions of anger. Sometimes, a person who often gets angry is simply reacting to consistently frustrating social or professional interactions. For example, you may be angry much of the time because you are working in a stress-filled situation or have surrounded yourself with people whose views, opinions or actions make you angry. If this is the case for you, it can be helpful to know that you are not an angry person, but have willingly put yourself in situations that make you angry.People are different and they have different thresholds of tolerance under various circumstances. If you work in a high-stress job and are consistently angry as a result, it can be beneficial to find a different line of work. If you are constantly upset or angry with the way your friends and family behave or voice their opinions, it may be time to separate yourself from those people and surround yourself with people who behave or think in manner that seems more appropriate or palatable to you. An important method to coping with anger is to realize that there is more to living than voicing your displeasure with frustrating situations all the time. Your life should be a pursuit of happiness. When you begin to get upset, take solace in the things that make you truly happy. A useful mechanism for coping with your anger is to reflect on how you would deal with your own reaction if you were someone else by putting yourself in the shoes of the person who had to react to your angry outburst. You may realize that your response was not appropriate, and that you may have wanted to handle the situation more positively. You may find engaging in physical activities, such as running, tennis, or yoga, help alleviate the frequency and level of anger you feel in social and professional settings. Expending your energy in other ways on a regular basis may make you less prone to angry or emphatic outbursts. Sometimes, getting angry can be the result of incessant miscommunication with others. If you work on cultivating better communication techniques, you may find that your day-to-day interactions with others is less frustrating, leading to fewer outbursts of anger. Meditation has been shown to have positive short-term effects on emotional processing. In addition to having an effect on physical relaxation and a sense of peacefulness, a Harvard study has shown that mindful meditation increased grey matter density in areas of the brain related to learning, memory, self-awareness, compassion, and introspection. If you find yourself in a situation that is frustrating, try using silly humor to lighten the mood. Making fun or lighthearted jokes can bring down your tension levels, as well as the tension levels of those around you, making your social interactions much less likely to escalate to a point where you feel the need to become angry.

Article: One of the key conflicts in any family is between a parent’s need to keep their child safe and a child’s need for freedom. Remain a figure of authority, but give your children opportunities to earn your trust. Slowly increase their freedom and privileges as they mature. For instance, set a curfew when your teen goes out, and if they stick to it for a few months, extend it a little later. If you and your spouse have an argument, remember that the way you resolve disagreements teaches your children about conflict resolution. Stick to the specific issue instead of bringing up past offenses or resorting to personal attacks. If necessary, sort out an argument when your children aren’t present. If possible, let your kids sort out their arguments on their own. Set ground rules and intervene only when the rules are broken or your kids can't cool down by themselves.  Ground rules include no hitting, cursing, or name-calling. Tell them that they need to let the other person speak and discuss their issue calmly. If a fight escalates, separate your kids until they cool down, then help them find a compromise. Tell them that your role isn't to assign blame (unless one cursed at or hit the other), but to help figure out the best solution. Avoid being passive-aggressive, vague, or sarcastic, especially when handling a conflict. Say what’s on your mind, and encourage your family members to do the same. For example, if your child didn’t take out the trash, don’t give them the cold shoulder or vaguely convey that you’re upset. Instead of saying, “It’s disappointing when people forget to do their chores,” be direct. Say, “Sam, I’m disappointed that you didn’t take out the trash this week. I’m taking away your allowance if it happens again.”
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Balance your role as a parent with your child’s need for freedom. Try to set a positive example if you’re arguing with your spouse. Mediate your kids' fights only when necessary. Communicate clearly and directly when resolving disagreements.
