Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Do not try to change your partner. Do not control your partner. Support their interests. Don't minimize your partner's emotions.

Answer: Accept that you can only change yourself, not your partner. This is perhaps the hardest but most important tenet of a solid relationship. You should never enter a relationship with the plan to "fix" your partner. You need to accept the fact that your partner may never change, and be okay with that. To do otherwise is a guaranteed way to frustrate yourself and alienate your partner.  You may support your partner to make positive changes in their life. But you should never try or need to fundamentally change them. If you cannot accept your partner for who they are, you either need to set boundaries to avoid getting hurt or leave the relationship entirely. Understand that men and women are different. Or for that matter understand that different men and different women are different. Do not unfairly hold your partner up to the standards of an old relationship or of an ideal one. We all know that violence is not an acceptable way to control partner. But know that using guilt or shame is just as damaging. Guilting or shaming to control your partner is emotional abuse. Do not attempt to control your partner. This is an extension of "Do not try to change your partner" step. If you cannot handle compromise then leave the relationship, do not try to control or change your partner to make it work. You do not have to share your partner's every hobby. But you should listen to your partner when they talk about their interests, and give them guilt-free time and space to pursue their interests. While not every emotion is desirable (for example anger, resentment, and frustration), they are all normal. If your partner is angry at something, do not criticize them for being angry -- that cannot be helped. What people are responsible for is how they express their emotions. Anger can be destructive or constructive. You may rightly criticize how emotions are expressed and ask that they be shared in a constructive fashion, but do not critique the emotion itself. Critiquing emotions can lead to your partner feeling guilty, defensive and emotionally withdrawn.  A destructive expression of anger is to yell and throw things. A constructive expression of anger is to talk about one's anger feelings and reach a conclusion. Example: Do not say "Don't be mad" or "You shouldn't be mad". Telling your partner not to feel something is futile and hinders further communication. Your partner cannot help but be mad. Instead say, "I understand you are angry. Can you tell me calmly why?" and work together through dialogue to get to the root of the problem and come to an agreeable solution.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose your tree. Choose your design. Decide on your support method. Decide on your access method. Figure out what you'll do with branches that interfere with your treehouse.

Answer: If you're building a treehouse in your backyard, then you may only have so many trees to choose from. Once you have chosen a healthy tree, you can start thinking about the design of the house that can go on it; or you can take the opposite route and think of the design first, and then make sure that you have a fitting tree. Here are some things you keep in mind as you choose the tree for your treehouse:  For a standard 8'x8' treehouse, choose a tree with a trunk at least 12" in diameter. To calculate your tree's diameter, measure its circumference by wrapping a string or measuring tape around the trunk at the point where you want the treehouse to sit. Divide that number by pi (3.14) to get the diameter. It's important to have a firm idea of the design of your dream treehouse before you hammer in the first nail. You can find treehouse designs online, or if you're knowledgeable about building, you can create your own. You need to make accurate measurements to ensure that your design works with the tree you've selected.  You may find it helpful to make a small cardboard model of your tree and treehouse to identify any potential issue areas. In creating your design, don't forget to plan for tree growth.  Allow ample space around the trunk of the tree for the tree to grow. It's worth doing some research on your specific tree species to determine its growth rate. There are several ways to support your treehouse. Whatever method you choose, it's important to remember that trees move with the wind. Sliding joists or brackets are essential to make sure your tree and treehouse are not damaged by winds. Here are the three main support methods for your tree:  The post method. This method involves sinking support posts into the ground close to the tree, rather than attaching anything to the tree itself. It is the least damaging to the tree. The bolt method. Bolting the support beams or floor platform directly into the tree is the most traditional method of supporting a treehouse. However, this method is the most damaging to the tree. You can minimize the damage by using proper materials. The suspension method. In this method, you would suspend the treehouse from strong, high branches using cables, rope or chains. This method will not work for every design, and it is not ideal for treehouses that are meant to carry any significant weight. Before you build your treehouse, you'll need to decide on a method of access, such as a ladder, which easily allows a person to enter the treehouse. Your method should be safe and sturdy, so this rules out the traditional treehouse ladder, which is made up of boards nailed to a tree trunk. Here are some safer methods of access for a treehouse:  The standard ladder. You can purchase or build an ordinary ladder for climbing into your treehouse. A ladder made for bunk or loft beds can work as well.  The rope ladder. This is a ladder made of rope and short boards, which is hung from the treehouse platform.  The staircase. A small staircase is the safest access method if it's compatible with your vision of a treehouse. If you choose this method, make sure to  build a railing for safety. How will you build around pesky branches? Will you cut them off, or incorporate them into the plans of the treehouse? If you decide to incorporate branches into the treehouse, will you build around them or frame them in a window? Ask yourself these questions before you start building. That way, your treehouse will reflect the care and preparation of its builder when finished.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine if there is a belt tensioner pulley. Use a wrench to relieve the auto tensioner. Loosen the bolts in the alternator bracket. Pull the belt off of the pulleys.

Answer: Depending on the application, your serpentine belt will either have tension placed on it using a movable bracket or an auto tensioner pulley.  This pulley uses an internal spring to apply consistent pressure to the belt at all times.  If your vehicle does not have a tensioner pulley, the alternator bracket is likely how tension is set on the belt. Refer to your vehicle's service manual to confirm what type of tensioner your vehicle uses if you aren't sure. Auto tensioners have either a hole that will fit a half inch drive ratchet, or a bolt you can use a socket to apply pressure to.  Insert the wrench or place the socket over the bolt on the tensioner and twist it away from the belt to relieve the tension on it.  Depending on the positioning of the tensioner pulley you may need to twist the tensioner clockwise or counterclockwise. Be sure to use the right size socket to avoid stripping the bolt head on the tensioner. If your vehicle uses the alternator bracket to apply tension to the belt, loosen the two bolts that pass through the long eyelets on the bracket.  As you loosen the bolts, the tension on the belt will likely move the alternator toward the engine and relieve the pressure. Loosen the bolts enough to move the alternator, but don't remove them. With the tension relieved from the belt, pull it off of the pulley that has been placing tension on it, then remove it from the around the rest of the pulleys on the engine. If the belt is severely damaged, be sure to remove any parts that may have come off of it as well.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a strand of hair and work systematically around your head.

Answer:
To start the curling process, gather a small strand of hair. The strand of hair should be about the width of a pencil when compressed. If you've sectioned off parts of your hair, start with the bottom layer. You'll work your way from one side of your head to the other to ensure you don't miss any strands.  If you haven't sectioned off your hair, choose a section of hair from the top of your head to start with. For larger curls, take a larger strand of hair.
