Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Set a comfortable scene. Broach the issue of suicide. Speak clearly and openly. Avoid stigmatizing suicide. Stay away from statements that can hurt. Listen empathically Relay how much you care.

Answer: Talking about possible suicide can be a very tense subject, especially for your friend who may also have feelings of guilt and shame associated with their suffering. Initiate a conversation without the presence of distractions. Choose a relaxed and familiar environment if possible. The following are good questions that you can use to start the conversation:  "How are you coping with what's been happening in your life?" "Do you ever feel like just giving up?" "Do you think often about dying?" "Are you considering hurting yourself?" "Are you thinking about suicide?" "Have you ever  tried to harm yourself before?" Be as specific as possible to avoid sounding accusatory. For example, instead of saying something like "You always talk about how impossible everything is", try detailed observations like "I have noticed in the past few months that things you used to enjoy, like spending time with your kids, does not seem to improve your mood much."  Openly embrace the topic as another way to show how much you care. If you are direct about your concern, you will give off a sense of a justified sense of urgency. It is a common myth that bringing up suicide will put the idea into a person's mind. In fact, speaking openly about suicide can help your friend realize that there are other options available.  Stay on topic as best you can. Your friend might try to dismiss your concern by looking at you with confusion or making you feel silly for bringing it up. But, don't be afraid to be persistent in your concern--especially in light of recognizing warning signs. Keep an open mind that does not judge the friend’s feelings or decisions. You may think your friend is incorrect in their reasoning or that their situation is not bad enough that they should want to commit suicide. However, understand that you can’t fully understand. The belief that suicide is selfish, crazy, or morally defective is widely circulated in our culture. Be aware that suicidality is the result of a treatable condition for which your friend is not at fault. It's easy to think that we can help by offering our perspectives or opinion, but this isn't always the case. Be sure to avoid the following responses:  Statements that dismiss feelings, like "things aren't really that bad." Superficial comments that prompt feelings of shame and isolation, like “you have so much to live for,” or “think about how much your suicide will hurt your family and friends.” Instead, show compassion by saying, “things must really be awful if you are feeling that way.” . Let your talk be an opportunity for your friend to feel loved and supported. Try as best you can to non-judgmentally listen to your friend, putting yourself in their shoes. This will help you accept their feelings with warm, personal understanding. Make eye contact and use body language to show that you are really there to listen.  Let them talk for as long as they need. Even if you can think of many words of encouragement or reasons why they should cheer up, hold off. Create space for your friend to express themselves without cutting in to give your own opinion. Validate feelings. It can be hard to come out and express feelings that you don’t expect others to understand. Make your friend feel less alone by showing understanding and affirmation of these feelings. Emotional support is a powerful suicide deterrent. Let your friend know that they are loved, thought about, and is an important part of your life. Project an attitude of respect and love to your friend throughout the conversation. This is your opportunity to tell your friend your perspective. Mention that suicide is a permanent solution to a solvable problem and that you and others are more than willing to help realize other possibilities.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose software. Download an mp3 DLL file. Insert the DLL into the Winamp app's root directory.

Answer: To create a more professional sounding radio station than what you'll get with a basic streaming set up, you'll need software or apps. You'll need an app to play music or other audio, to turn your audio feed into an audio stream that can be broadcast, and one to act as your server. There are a lot of options for these types of apps and software, but the easiest to work with are Winamp (for playing audio files), Edcast (for turning your audio feed into a stream), and Icecast2 (for your server). To broadcast the audio from your computer over a server, you'll need to download a DLL – which stands for Dynamic Link Library – file. This type of file keeps all of your mp3 files in one place and allows the other software you need to load the mp3s one at a time. This frees up memory and storage space on your computer. For an online radio station, you'll want to download lame_enc.dll. Type the DLL name into your favorite search engine, followed by “download” and it should pop up.  This DLL will allow you to broadcast in mp3 formats, and is also compatible with older players you're your audience might use.  This DLL will download as a zipped version, so you'll have to open the zipped file to access the individual files you need. Because you're using Winamp to share your audio, you'll need to insert the DLL file into Winamp's root directory. This basically makes the audio files on Winamp accessible to the other software you need to broadcast your radio station. To do this, find Winamp in the program files on your computer. Open the Winamp program file (C:/Program Files/Winamp) and insert the DLL file where it asks for the source.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Open the brochure in Acrobat. Click File. Click Print. Select a printer. Check the "Pages" box. Make sure that the "Pages" box has a 1 in it. Check the "Landscape" box. Click Print. Reinsert the paper. Re-open the "Print" window. Change the "Pages" number to 2. Click Print. Make sure that your brochure printed correctly.

Answer: If Adobe Acrobat is your computer's default document reader, simply double-click the brochure; otherwise, do the following:   Windows - Right-click the brochure, select Open with, and click Adobe Acrobat in the menu.  Mac - Click the PDF, click File, select Open With, and click Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat in the menu. It's either in the top-left corner of the Acrobat window (Windows) or in the top-left corner of the screen (Mac). A drop-down menu will appear. You'll find this option in the drop-down menu. This will prompt the "Print" window to open. Click the "Printer" drop-down box at the top of the window, then click a printer in the drop-down menu. It's near the top of the Acrobat Print page. This will prompt the printer to print the first page in the brochure (e.g., one side of the brochure) but not the second page. It's on the left side of the page. Doing so orients your brochure sideways so that the whole piece of paper is used. This option is at the bottom of the page. The brochure should now print. Place the printed paper face-up with the left-most part of the brochure going into the printer first. Now that one side of the brochure printed, it's time to print the other side. If the paper printed face-up, place the printed paper face-down here instead. Click File, click Print, and make sure that your settings are the same. This will ignore the first page (which you already printed) and print only the second page of the brochure.  If your brochure is properly printed on both sides, you can repeat this process with multiple brochures. If the brochure doesn't print properly, try inserting the paper in different directions until the second page of the brochure prints properly.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Know which injuries warrant immediate eye flushing. Use an eyewash station if one is available. Rinse your eyes with running water from a sink. Call Poison Control for advice about chemical irritants.

Answer:
In some cases, like if you've introduced a serious irritant or contaminant to your eye, you shouldn't bother with sterile eye washes. Instead, your focus should be on immediately and thoroughly washing your eyes, then getting medical help.  For example, if you accidentally splash your eyes with a chemical that is an acid, an alkaline (base), a corrosive, or some other kind of irritant, then stop what you're doing and flush your eyes with water right away. Keep in mind that some chemicals react adversely with water. For example, most of the alkali metals (the furthest-left column in the periodic table) react violently with water. Don't flush these chemicals with water. Most places where you can may splash dangerous chemicals in your eye will come equipped with special eye wash stations. If you get a foreign object or chemical in your eye(s), go to the eye wash station right away and then:  Depress the lever. The lever should be brightly marked and easy to find. Place your face in front of the water spouts. These spouts will spray water in your eyes at a low pressure. Keep your eyes as wide-open as possible. Use your fingers to keep your eyes open as you rinse them. If you can't immediately find an eye wash station or you're somewhere where there are no eye wash stations (like at home), you can use the running water from your sink instead. Tap water isn't ideal for eye washing, as it's not as sterile as the purified water used in many laboratories. But it is far more important to rinse the chemicals from your eyes than it is to worry about possible infections. To wash out your eyes using the sink:  Go to the nearest sink and turn the cold water on. If it is very cold, then you may want to adjust it until the temperature is lukewarm. Then, lean over the sink and splash water into your open eyes. If your sink has an adjustable faucet, point it directly into your eye at a low pressure and hold your eyes open with your fingers. Rinse your eyes for at least 15 to 20 minutes. After you have washed out your eyes, you should call the Poison Control Center at (800) 222-1222 for advice. If possible, have someone call for you while you are rinsing out your eyes. Then, seek medical attention immediately. If you've introduced a dangerous chemical into your eyes, you need to get medical attention as soon as possible, even if you've already rinsed your eyes.
