Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try out a  Côtes-du-Rhône for an inexpensive but wide-ranging red. Look to Sangiovese for a bright, acidic Italian wine. Go with big, fruity merlots for another easy to pair, agreeable wine. Pick up the classic Cabernet Sauvignon for a rich, layered, and full-bodied red. Grab a dense, peppery Syrah for a strongly flavored, spicy red. Drink a bold, spicy Malbec to mix with casual foods like pizza and barbecue. Grab a Cabernet Franc for an earthy, spicy, and rich red. Look to the fruity Zinfandel for a rich, berry-heavy wine. Get a high-priced, but extravagant, Pinot Noir when you want to splurge.

Answer: This beautiful blend from Southern France is one of the easiest and most drinkable French wines to pair. It is light, generally fruity, and mild enough to work with almost anything. If you want something foreign but not wallet breaking, go to the CdR.  Pronounced "Coat Do Rone." There are actually white versions of the CdR as well, which match well with fishes. They are less common, but still a good choice for a white. Of course, this pairs very well with almost all Italian dishes, as it is light, acidic, and peppered with light hints of spice, cherry, and even tobacco. It may be blended with a Cabernet to make it a little heartier, as well. Note, however, that merlots are popular and can vary substantially. For example, a bottle of Merlot is usually bold and fruity. However, Merlot aged with oak may have a smoky taste as well. They are best from France and the Northern US, and pair with anything, much like the Côtes-du-Rhône, but with a slightly bolder and more noticeable taste. This is the famous Napa Valley grape, and it leads to a very dense wine with layers of currant, dark berries, and even olives. Pair this with a rich, substantial, and hearty dish for a beautiful combination and strong, flavorful meal. If you're aiming for a bargain, grab a Cab Sauv, as it is often the cheapest wine with the best results, since Cabernet grapes are easy to grow These wines can be made either on the lighter side or rich and dense. They come from a spicy, peppery grape, and this note shines through to pair well with similarly peppery foods. This French and Argentinian wine is strong, spicy, and tart. It matches well with casual, rich, and oily/greasy foods, making it a good pair for tailgating, BBQs, or pizza night The Cabernet Franc is known for its notes of blueberry and violets, as well as an earthy, almost coffee-like scent. It is high in tannins, giving it a full-body feeling and a touch of bitterness. Matches well with stews, red meats, and smoky dishes. Usually found with hints of raspberry, cherry, raisin, and more, Zinfandels have a uniquely hearty but fruity taste, making them great wines to drink on their own or to pair with rich meals. They are highly alcoholic, meaning they may overpower lighter dishes if you're not careful. The Pinot grape is notoriously difficult to grow, making good Pinots expensive. But when a winemaker gets it right, the grape yields a complex, rich, and nuanced wine. Know that you should spend at least $20 a bottle to get your money's worth, if not more. Cheaper pinots aren't worth it. The Pinot is a complex wine for rich, complex dishes. But it goes equally well with desert, such as a decadent chocolate.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take an interest in your partner's passions. Don't try to “cure” them. Respect your partner's routine. Find a balance between spontaneity and routine. Be prepared to explain mainstream pursuits. Take an interest in their friends.

Answer: While you don't need to become proficient in Klingon, you should make an attempt to understand your partner's obsessions. Follow some of the movies, books, and games that your partner loves. Who knows--maybe they'll become your obsessions, too.  A relationship is a two-way street. You should show some interest in your partner's passions, and demand that your partner do the same for you. Don't worry if you don't understand some of your partner's passions. While some shared interests are important, you don't need to share all of them. Your partner's nerdy obsessions and social awkwardness make them who they are. You shouldn't try to change them, and moreover, you won't be able to. If you can't accept them, then you probably shouldn't be together. Don't tease your partner for their mysterious obsessions. They've likely had to put up with such teasing their entire life, and more of it will only cause them to withdraw. Nerds often thrive on routine. They are very sensitive to change, whether it be at work, on the road, or at home. Simply moving an item in your partner's room might upset them. You partner may have a designated space in the home where they like to work or pursue their hobbies undisturbed. They value the predictability and security of this space, so be certain not to violate any boundaries. Ask before cleaning their space or moving any of their things. If you are the type of person that craves spontaneity, dating a routine-oriented nerd might seem challenging. However, you can still do spontaneous things with your partner, like traveling, by combining more spontaneous activities with more structured activities. For example, if you want to go on vacation with your partner, have a balance of very structured, highly scheduled days, and days that are more laid back. This might sound counterintuitive. Shouldn't the nerd be explaining to you? The truth is, you'll probably know more about many subjects than your partner. Nerds tend to specialize in one area of knowledge, which means you'll probably know more than they do about more mainstream things, like cars, pro football, and non-science-fiction movies. Don't belittle your partner for not knowing much about mainstream topics. Instead, try patiently explaining. Your partner's friends are important to them. You should take an interest in them, despite the fact that they'll probably be pretty nerdy, too. That's not to say you need to spend every night LARPing together. Rather, make sure you hang out with them sometimes, ask them questions, and are generally friendly. You may not like all of your partner's friends, but you should accept them. Try to understand and appreciate what they bring to your partner's life.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid allowing the mood to rub off on you. Try not to take it personally. Remove yourself from the situation if you need to. Make your safety a priority.

Answer:
Quite often a person in a bad mood will leave their mark on those around them. This is often in the form of putting them in a bad mood, as well. People who are close to each other often mimic each other’s behaviors, which can leave you feeling cranky. Instead, do your best to stop them from affecting your mood.  One of the easiest ways to avoid allowing someone to control your mood is to simply stay away. You may need to leave the room in order to do this, but it is likely your best method.  It can be hard to get space if the person lives with you like a parent or a spouse. In such a case, you might identify a "safe zone" in your house or a nearby park where you can get space. You may also want to develop an activity to help you release any negativity, such as going for a long walk in nature or taking a yoga class. There’s a good chance you are not the cause of the person’s bad mood. There’s an even higher chance, however, that the situation will become worse if you take how the person is acting personally. Don’t assume that the mood is because of you. You can find out, however, if you ask in a non-accusatory way.  Ask the person if they want to talk about why they are in a bad mood. Listen to them if they agree and try not to get upset if they do say it has to do with you. Let it go if they decline your invitation to discuss the matter. For example, your boss might snap at you because he's feeling pressure from his own superior. You might ask, "Is there anything I can do to help?" If not, just give him a wide berth until he calms down. Sometimes you just need to get some space from a situation. If you are constantly around a person, then it is easy to get sucked into their mental energy. You don’t have to let someone take their bad mood out on you. Even if they are your partner, you don’t have to take it. Remove yourself from the situation if the person’s behavior is getting out of line or you can’t handle it anymore.  You can tell the person, “I see that you are really upset about something, and I’m sorry for that. However, I need to walk away for a minute.”  Keep in mind that you can choose your level of involvement and sometimes it is best to just ignore the person. Not only is your physical safety a concern, but you should protect your mental health, as well. Being around someone who is constantly in a bad mood can affect your emotional well-being. Consider changing your situation if you find the person’s moods are taking a toll on you. If their bad mood is affecting you, then this can have an impact on your physical health. It may be best for you to remove yourself from the situation if this is the case.
