In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Some people believe that our eyes are like the rest of our body — the more we exercise and use them, the stronger they will become. The Bates Method uses this idea and a series of exercises to gradually improve your vision.  While there is no scientific evidence that the Bates Method works, people in surveys do report improved vision.   Eye exercises may be what is called a “placebo” effect — that is, practitioners report feeling better because they believe the exercises are helping. At the very least, the Bates Method does not harm. The first step in the method is to “palm” your eyes by covering them with your hands. This should help to warm and relax the eyes.   Get into position by sitting in a chair with cushions in front of you. The cushions are for resting your elbows. Or, alternatively, lie on your back with some pillows behind your head. Some people prefer to palm in a darkened room. Close your eyes and place your hands over your eyes with cupped palms. Make sure that you are not putting any pressure on your eyes. There should be no light, or very little, that reaches your vision. Hold this position for 10 minutes to start. At the end of 10 minutes, assess yourself. Do you feel relaxed? If not, continue palming for a longer period. Another exercise that you can do is to trace a shape. Rolling your eyes in this way will activate eye muscles and, ideally, strengthen them.  While sitting, imagine a figure eight placed about ten feet in front of you. Trace the figure up, down, and around with your eyes, keeping your head stationary. Repeat for several minutes. Now, turn the figure eight on its side. With this image in your mind, begin to trace the shape again, slowly, without moving your head. Repeat for several minutes. You can do this exercise practically anywhere, either at home, at work, or even on the subway. You’ve exercised the eye’s external muscles by tracing shapes. Now is the time to use the eye’s inner focusing mechanisms. Some people believe that this will improve your visual acuity.  While sitting, perhaps at your desk, put your thumb about ten inches in front of your face and focus on it deeply for about thirty seconds. Next, shift your gaze from the thumb to an object about 10 to 20 feet in front of you. Allow your eyes to refocus and concentrate on the object for another thirty seconds. Take a deep breath and refocus on your thumb. Repeat this shift at thirty-second intervals for about two to three minutes.
Summary: Try the Bates Method. Palm your eyes. Trace a figure eight. Focus on near and far objects.

You'll need to make an extra effort to prove your trustworthiness to your partner.  Communicate your plans and respond to your partner's requests for information and reassurance. Note, however, that your past history of cheating does not completely eliminate your right to privacy.  Be mindful of your partner's need for information, but do not feel compelled to provide a full list of your cell phone and social media passwords or to account for your whereabouts at all times.  Such practices perpetuate mistrust rather than allowing you to rebuild your shattered relationship. Do not expect forgiveness -- least of all on your schedule.  Your partner will need to learn he or she has reason to trust you.  Take a "time out" if you find that emotions are running high.  Your partner may need some physical or emotional space to process his or her feelings.  Politely leave the room, go for a walk, or give your partner the freedom to distance him or herself for a period of time.  Consider scheduling specific windows of time to process difficult feelings.  You might set an egg timer for half an hour, for example, and use that limited span of time for discussion.  Doing so provides structure and predictability; you can both focus upon the subject at hand without having the conversation degenerate into "venting" or other unproductive behavior. Forgiving yourself does not mean you're off the hook for the consequences of your behavior, nor does it exempt you from the hard work of taking steps to change your behavior.  Rather, forgiving yourself frees up your mental and emotional energy to move forward.  You can then work on healing your relationship and changing your habits.  Each day is a new day.  When you wake up each morning, remind yourself of your decision to move forward and focus on repairing your damaged relationship. If you find rituals helpful, consider taking a symbolic step such as (carefully) burning or shredding a paper labeled "cheating."  Remind yourself of this action when you're tempted to dwell upon your past behavior.  You've burned your bridges, literally or metaphorically, and have committed to move forward. If you find yourself wallowing in regret, brainstorm a productive action you can undertake instead.  You might consider sending your partner a loving text, performing a chore around the house, or working on a new hobby that helps you constructively redirect your behavior.

One-sentence summary -- Expect to be held accountable. Give your partner time and space. Forgive yourself.

Problem: Article: Check the edge of the carafe to make sure the top has fit into place and that there is no gap between the lid and the carafe. Placing the top on improperly can cause a big mess when you froth! Hold the carafe firmly with your nondominant hand as you pump the plunger into the milk with your dominant hand. It may require more strength to pump the milk as the foam builds, which is normal. Lift the top off the carafe, and look at the milk. Some people prefer their milk only slightly foamy, while others prefer lots of foam. If your milk hasn’t reached your desired consistency, plunge it for up to 30 seconds more. Don’t plunge your milk for longer than 1 minute total by hand. Over frothing your milk can cause the air bubbles you’ve developed to break down. Tap the whisk at the bottom of the plunger on the edge of the carafe. This will shake any excess froth into the container. Tap the bottom of the carafe on the counter once to remove excessively large air bubbles. Your foam will settle a little bit, which is okay. Your milk is now ready to heat and serve.
Summary:
Replace the lid of the frother. Plunge the handle up and down for 30 seconds. Check the foam’s consistency. Remove the lid of the carafe. Swirl the carafe in a circular motion once.
