Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Tell the participant to feel the power of the magnets. Bring the participant into a state of relaxation. Allow them to come out of hypnosis.

Answer: Try to lull the participant into a state of calm. Instruct him or her to feel the power of the magnets. Say something like, "There are two powerful magnets that have guided your hands together. Feel the power of the magnets. Feel your palms pulling towards one another." Once the participant seems entranced by your words, bring him or her into a state of relaxation. Instruct him or her to focus on his or her body, breaths, and heartbeat.  Scripting once again varies. Go with what feels right and natural to you. If you feel comfortable and in control, the participant is more likely to trust you and follow your lead.  An example of good scripting would be something like, "Ignore everything but my voice. All other noises are unnecessary distractions. Pay attention to your breathing, your body, your heartbeat. Every breath you take takes you further down into a state of calm and relaxation."  You can also try some counting. Try to count backwards from 10 and instruct the participant to pay attention to each breath his or she takes as you count. The magnetic hands technique should take about 20 minutes. Once the participant has been relaxing for this duration, instruct them to awaken from the state of hypnosis. Saying something like, "Now, wake up and everything will have returned to normal."


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Focus on yourself. Change your thinking. Focus on the person’s good qualities. Give up control. Avoid trying to be a hero. Practice acceptance.

Answer: Sometimes we can spend so much time worrying about others and how they are feeling that we lose sight of ourselves. Take responsibility for your own feelings and reactions towards pessimism. By focusing on your own happiness and less on others, you take the power away from negativity.  Remind yourself that you are in control. You are in control of how much you let another person’s feelings and thoughts affect you.  For example, even though pessimism is hard to listen to, understand that the other person’s pessimism is a reflection of themselves and you can only control your own feelings. You have the power to dictate what affects how you are feeling. Using logic as a coping resource is associated with higher mental toughness.  Stay positive. Research suggests that optimism may increase mental toughness. This means that your own optimistic outlook can help you combat pessimism and the spill-over from negativity.  Look for some good in everything and remind yourself that anyone can find flaws in anything when looked at closely enough; what's a lot harder is coming up with solutions and positive actions. Instead of seeking to persuade the pessimist verbally with upbeat commentary, simply get on with your positive life and let your behavior and actions do all the talking. If you find yourself feeling down around the pessimist, make a mental list (or even write it down if you wish) of five good things in your life. Think of the items on this list in your head as a sort of "shield" against negativity if you find yourself reacting to it. Actively cultivate positive friendships with other optimistic people. Spending more time around optimists will help raise your mood and reassure you that your state of mind is the right one for you. The individual’s outlook on things isn't her only feature - there are many more complex qualities within a person, so rather than fixating on the negatives, look for the good things. Is she intelligent? Supportive of you? Is she unique enough not to care what anyone else thinks about her? Is she good to work with? Focus on the positive aspects of a person and seek to balance out the negatives.  Just as you might make a list of the five positive things in your life, try to make a list of at least three positive things about your pessimist and run these through your mind when dealing with this person gets tough. You can also draw on this list to remind the pessimist of what she is good at, in case it seems she has forgotten. Find compassion for the pessimist in your life by remembering that her pessimism might be rooted in unhappiness or low-self esteem. When you hear negativity, remind yourself that she may be going through something very difficult that is contributing to her pessimism. Understand that you do not have control over other people’s thoughts or behaviors. Expect the pessimist to have responsibility for her pessimism. She may see the negatives, therefore let her own her interpretation of events and life in general. Accept that this person has a choice to think the way she does. Tell the pessimist to make the choice that she feels most comfortable with. Avoid giving advice or pushing the person to see or do things your way. Resist the innate desire to attempt to cheer the pessimist up. What you want to avoid is positively reinforcing her negative thoughts by providing a reward for pessimistic thinking (attention, positivity, etc). Don't seek to persuade the pessimist that everything will work out fine. Remember that you cannot control how she will interpret the situation. Don't be too quick to dismiss people due to their pessimism. Learning to get along with people who are not like us is an important part of self-development and socialization. Being pessimistic isn't always bad. Some philosophers and researchers have argued it may actually make people happier and closer to reality because they will be more prepared and less disappointed if they consider that the worst outcome might occur. Thus, when bad things do happen, they may be better at dealing with them.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Locate an asbestos testing lab near you. Get quotes from multiple labs. Follow the instructions on the lab’s website for sample submission. Decide what to do next. Confirm the area is safe.

Answer:
There are several ways to find an asbestos testing laboratory to test your sample:  The U.S. Department of Commerce has established a voluntary accreditation program for asbestos testing labs, and provides a Directory listing of the labs who have become accredited. Labs are listed by state and listings include links to the labs’ websites. Check out some well known international labs, such as the International Asbestos Testing Laboratory or EMSL Analytical, Inc.. Many labs offer testing for non-local residents, through Federal Express (“FedEx”), United Parcel Service (“UPS”), or United States Postal Service (“USPS”). Just run a search at your favorite search engine for “asbestos testing”. Check the yellow pages for "Laboratories — Analytical." Asbestos testing is cheap as lab tests go. You can typically get three samples tested for under $100 USD. Most companies have a submission form for you to complete and mail or bring in with your sample. Print and complete the form and send with your sample and payment to the address listed for sample submission. If it turns out the plaster does contain asbestos, and it is not in good condition, hire an asbestos contractor to handle it. You can either have the plaster removed completely, or seal it underneath a protective coating that traps the asbestos fibers.  Make sure the contractor is government accredited. Your local or state health board may be able to provide a list of accredited organizations. Trying this yourself is not recommended. If you're set on the idea, make sure to comply with legal requirements in your area. After the job is done, you can hire an asbestos inspector or air testing contractor to confirm the asbestos was successfully handled without releasing asbestos into the air.
