INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It might not seem like a big deal to you when she compliments your new sneakers, but her noticing changes in your outfit or appearance and complimenting you could be her way of showing you she's interested enough in you to pay attention. Many shy people are worried about saying the wrong thing, which sometimes leads to quietness around a crush. Oppositely, nervousness at being close to a crush might cause a shy girl to be a little more chatty. In either case, research has shown that if she responds to you smoothly and quickly, she likely is interested in some kind of relationship with you. Small praise has a profound effect on people, but this effect is more pronounced with potential romantic partners. Does your girl light up when you pay her simple praise? She may be crushing on you. When she peppers your conversation with pleasant laughter at your wit and charm, it could mean she wants you to like her. Listen for frequency. Laughing more with you than others could be a love letter from her subconscious. Notes in lower registers are subconscious attempts at showing off, which makes a dreamy or husky quality in her voice a good sign for you! She may be loud around others, but quiet around you. These are often hints she is interested. Shy people frequently fear direct confrontation, so asking her if she has feelings for you through a note passed on through a friend or in a message that friend relates to her could save you from unnecessary detective work. Remember, she will find out that you asked, and sometimes people use this information to pick on other. There is nothing wrong with asking someone if they like you. Remember that some shy girls are very reserved and may keep their crush a secret, even from their best friends. It's important that you take time to read your situation to see if this kind of inquiry is a good decision.

SUMMARY: Observe small compliments. Pay attention to how she talks. Give the girl you like compliments. Listen for laughter. Take note of volume and pitch. Ask through a mutual friend.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Rub a damp rag over the bar of saddle soap.  Move the rag in a circular motion.  Check the damp rag intermittently, looking for a sudsy layer on the rag. Rub the rag across the dye you wish to remove from the leather.  You should begin to see a reduction in the intensity of the dye staining the leather. After applying the saddle soap lather to the leather, rinse the rag in clean water.  Wring it out so that it is damp rather than soaked through.  Gently wipe away any soap residue that remains on the leather. After using saddle soap, you’ll need to use conditioner to add moisture to the leather.  Dab a bit of the conditioner on a soft cloth.  Rub the conditioner into the leather using a firm circular motion.  There are several different types of leather conditioners available, including mink oil, leather honey, and neatsfoot oil. Even if you aren’t removing dye from leather, it’s a good idea to apply conditioner to your leather once a month in order to keep it looking shiny and new.

SUMMARY: Work the soap into a lather. Apply the lather to the stained leather. Wipe the leather off. Condition your leather.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Some people have a genetic predisposition for breast cancer. If there is a history of breast cancer in your family, you may be at risk. Look at the history of both sides of your family (mother’s and father’s), since the genetic predisposition for breast cancer can come from either side.  The same genes that are linked to breast cancer are also linked to other kinds of cancer. Make note of any history of ovarian, pancreatic, or high grade prostate cancer in your family. Let your doctor know if there is a history of any of these types of cancer in your family. Mutations to these genes can make you extra susceptible to breast cancer and certain other types of cancer. It is especially important to test for these mutations if there is a history of breast and ovarian cancer in your family. Aside from genetic predisposition, there are other factors that could be related to your personal risk for breast cancer. Talk to your doctor if you have any of the following risk factors:  Age: Women over 50 are more likely to develop breast cancer. Dense breasts: Women with breasts that are “dense” or high in connective tissue (as opposed to fatty tissue) have an elevated risk of developing breast cancer. Early menstruation: If you began menstruating at the age of 12 or younger, you may be at slightly higher risk for developing breast cancer. No pregnancy, or pregnancy late in life: If you have never been pregnant, or became pregnant for the first time after the age of 30, you may have a slightly increased risk for breast cancer. A previous history of breast cancer or non-cancerous breast diseases. Some medical procedures and medications can also increase your risk of developing breast cancer. Talk to your physician if you have used any of these medicines or undergone any of these medical procedures:  Hormone therapy (e.g. hormone replacement therapy after menopause) or hormonal contraceptives (e.g. birth control pills). Radiation therapy for other cancers of the chest and breasts. The drug diethylstilbestrol (DES), a drug that was sometimes administered to pregnant women between 1940 and 1971.

SUMMARY: Look at your family history. Get tested for BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic mutations. Look at your personal health history. Look at your history of medical treatments and medications.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is an intangible quality in the attorney-client relationship, but it is a critical one. If you lose trust in your lawyer, you may be anxious and lose faith in your lawyer's ability to act on your behalf. Chat with your lawyer in person. Many issues can be worked out in a face-to-face meeting. Adjust the previously agreed-to communication schedule if needed to clear up the misunderstanding. If you cannot work out the problems with your lawyer, write a letter terminating the retainer agreement. Your letter should include the reasons for ending the agreement, a request for the return of your file, a request for a status letter, including any impending deadlines, and a request for a final bill.  You letter also should ask the attorney to promptly file a motion to withdraw with the court. Your new lawyer can't appear on your behalf until the judge has released your first lawyer. If the fired attorney won't do it, discuss it with your new lawyer. If you paid a deposit or a retainer, the attorney has the right to bill a reasonable hourly rate against that retainer. You will be either sent a refund or a bill. If you are on a contingency agreement, the attorney can bill you a reasonable hourly rate for the work done to date. Your reasons to fire your lawyer may not rise to an ethical violation. However, if your believe your lawyer acted negligently and his actions damaged you or your case, you should consider filing a complaint with the state bar association.  The process is state specific. You should go to the website of the state bar association or call them and ask the procedure. Some states let you file online, others require that you file the application by mail.  A dispute over fees is not the basis of a bar complaint. If you believe you have been overcharged or a retainer was not returned, it is better to go to small claims court. The exception is if you believe your attorney stole or mishandled funds, such as not disbursing insurance payments or other financial awards. Attach copies of your correspondence with your lawyer to show that you behaved reasonably and gave your attorney every opportunity to address your concerns.

SUMMARY:
Determine if you still trust your lawyer. Terminate the attorney's representation. File a disciplinary complaint.
