Q: Start by finding a quiet area in your house where you can address your sister in private. This may be in a room you share together or in your sister’s room. Making the apology in a private, quiet space will show your sister that you are serious about your apology and want to discuss the matter away from others.  Try to make your heartfelt apology in person, face to face. Texting or emailing an apology can seem disingenuous and may not hold as much of an emotional impact as an in person apology. You should also choose a time that is most convenient for your older sister. Do not try to apologize to her when she is in a rush and on her way out or when she is hanging out with friends at home. Choose a time where she is alone and can focus on your apology. Begin your apology by noting that you hurt your sister and that you want to address her hurt feelings. Do not use “if” or “but” when you speak to your sister. Be honest and acknowledge that your sister is upset. For example, you may say, “I understand that your feelings may have been hurt when I read your diary without asking for your permission,” or you may say, “I realize that I made you upset when I said unkind things to you in front of your friends.” You should then be willing to admit that you acted poorly or that you were in the wrong. Taking responsibility for your actions will show your sister that you realize you behaved badly and want to make amends for your behavior towards her.  Avoid mentioning your sibling’s own behavior and do not try to blame your sister or make her feel bad. You are apologizing for your actions, not putting your sister on trial for her actions. Blaming her will only make her more upset. You may say, “I know that I acted badly when I read your diary” or “I can see now that my unkind words toward you were hurtful and unfair.” You may also say, “I was mad at you but I should not have taken my anger out on you.” Make sure you own up to your actions by using “I” statements in your apology. This will show your sister that you are standing by your words and willing to acknowledge that you acted poorly towards her.  You should say “sorry” once to your sister, with intention and feeling. Avoid saying “sorry” multiple times as it may sound hollow or empty after you say it once. Maintain eye contact with her when you make your apology. This will let her know you are serious and genuine. For example, you may say, “I’m sorry for what I did to you,” or “I apologize for being hurtful and unfair toward you.” Do not expect your sister to forgive you right away. She may accept your apology but still be upset at you, or she may not respond at all to your apology. Your sister may need time to process her anger and will accept your apology when she is ready.  Keep in mind your sister is not obligated to accept your apology right away, or at all. You should be respectful toward her and give her time to forgive you. If your sister responds to your apology with feedback or comments about your behavior, you should listen to it without judgement. Be willing to listen to what she has to say and use this feedback to improve your behavior towards her in the future. Do not retaliate or get upset if she responds to your apology with comments or feedback.
A: Find a quiet, private setting. Acknowledge your sister’s feelings. Take responsibility for your actions. Use “I” statements in your apology. Give your sister time to accept your apology.

Article: Doing this will ensure your pan and food heat evenly, and prevent the likelihood of burnt cooking. It should take around 10 minutes for your pan to reach medium temperature. Cold food will ultimately stick to hot pans, causing burning and creating a mess. Let your food thaw in the refrigerator, but take it out for 1 to 2 hours before cooking so it can rise to room temperature. Don’t let raw food sit out for any longer than 2 hours, or you increase the risk of bacteria and food poisoning! Filling your pan up with more ingredients than it can hold leads to unbalanced temperatures and sticking. If you want to cook multiple ingredients in the same pan, stick to only 2 or 3 at a time, and space them out so they each have their own section in the pan.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Preheat your pan to medium heat before cooking. Thaw foods to room temperature before you cook. Don’t crowd the pan with ingredients.

Q: As with other retinal surgeries, you will be required to abstain from eating or drinking anything for between two and eight hours before the procedure. You may also be instructed to use eye drops to dilate the pupils before surgery. In a vitrectomy, your doctor will remove the vitreous fluid from inside the eyeball, and will remove any tissue that may be preventing the retina from healing. Your doctor will then fill the eye with air, gas, or liquid to replace the vitreous, allowing the retina to reattach and heal.  This procedure is the most commonly-performed type of retinal surgery.  Over time, the substance (air, gas, or liquid) your doctor injected is absorbed by the eye, and your body will produce fluid that will fill the vitreous cavity. If your doctor used silicone oil, however, he will need to surgically remove the oil after several months have passed and the eye has healed. After a vitrectomy, your doctor will send you home with specific care instructions for your eye to help ensure a full recovery. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully, and ask him if you're uncertain of what to do. Your doctor may instruct you to:  Take a pain reliever, like acetaminophen  Use prescription-strength eye drops or ointments After a vitrectomy, most patients are instructed to keep the head stable in a specific position. This is known as "posturing," and it is vital to allow the bubble to settle into the correct position. It can also be helpful in maintaining the eye's shape after surgery.  Follow your doctor's instructions on posturing to allow the retina to heal.  Do not travel by airplane until the gas bubble is fully absorbed. Your doctor will tell you when it is safe to fly again.  Having gas bubbles in the eye may cause complications in other surgeries. Let your doctor know about the gas bubbles before any subsequent surgeries, and before being administered general anesthetic, especially nitrous oxide. Your doctor may give you an eye box to help your eye heal. He will instruct you on how to use the eye box, and will let you know how long to continue using it.  Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling any eye equipment.  Soak cotton balls in the prescribed eyewash solution.  Loosen any crust that may have formed on your eye, then wipe gently from the inside of your eye across to the outside. If you are treating both eyes, use separate cotton balls for each eye. Your doctor may give you an eye patch and an eye shield to help your eye heal. These tools will help you protect your eye while sleeping and whenever you are outdoors.  Wear the eye shield for at least a week, or for as long as your doctor instructs you to continue use.  The eyepatch will help protect your eye from bright lights, like the sun, and will help prevent dirt and debris from entering your healing eye.
A:
Prepare for surgery. Have a vitrectomy. Recover from surgery. Stay in position. Use an eye box. Wear a shield and patch.
