In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The nature of collaboration involves people with different priorities working together. Issues will arise, and you should discuss them honestly instead of keeping them in the dark.  Make it clear that conflict resolution isn't about determining who's right or wrong. Keep the discussion focused on how best to adjust the process or action in question to remove the conflict and move the collaboration forward. If you see a member develop signs of apathy or hostility, ask them in private what caused the change. Discuss the cause at the next meeting if it is related to the collaboration. The goal of the collaboration is to achieve a goal, not to instill every member with the same viewpoint. You should discuss these differences, but sometimes you'll need to agree that the conflicts aren't going away and choose a compromise or an alternative path forward. If a member is barely attending meetings or not fulfilling the assigned role, find out why and fix it:  Ask the member if there are any issues with other members or the collaboration process so you can discuss them openly. If the member is a representative from another organization, make sure that organization isn't overworking them. Remind his boss that a certain level of commitment was expected, and ask for the member's work duties in writing. If the member simply refuses to participate or doesn't have the qualifications necessary, find a replacement. This risks offense, but is crucial for the collaboration to be a success. If members are used to certain matters being handled in a different way, or have different definitions of a term, set aside time to discuss and resolve these.  Put the definition of controversial terms in writing. Adjust the language of your charter or mission statement to a wording everyone can agree on. . Research how to run an effective meeting, and share your results with the facilitator or meeting convener. Make an effort to enhance trust and engagement among members.  Even small gestures such as bringing refreshments to a meeting can make members more engaged. If meetings are running slowly due to an unskilled facilitator, select a new one everyone trusts, and who has the skill to manage the discussion without offending anyone. There are many ways to address this issue before resorting to an attempt to remove them from the team, which can cause bad blood.  Controlling or manipulative behavior could be caused by fear. If the members are representing another organization, they may be worried about it losing its autonomy. Try to discover the underlying issue and discuss it with the collaboration — or, if it's a personal issue, ask them to deal with it on their own time. If a member withholds a conflict of interest or doesn't speak up when they oppose a decision, use meeting time to discuss each person's perspective in turn. Use a more structured discussion system to ensure argumentative members don't dominate the meeting. Decide on clear goals and methods you can put into writing to reduce confusion. If members are still arguing over written goals, spend additional time tweaking them. This may signal a desire for concrete accomplishments, rather than an actual disagreement over end goals. Try agreeing on specific results and attainable, short term strategies in line with your charter. If the leadership of member organizations is pressuring your collaboration for quick action, remind them that the collaboration has its own authority. Planning is a necessary step in collaborative efforts. Sometimes, you should collectively select a third party mediator. The mediator will facilitate one or two meetings to resolve the conflict, and should be replaced if he or she becomes personally involved. Use a mediator in the following situations:  When a group leader is directly involved in the conflict. When there is disagreement over whether or not a conflict exists. When cultural differences are involved and a mediator who understands both perspectives is required. When impartiality is essential, such as when conflicts of interest arise. If the group is poor at conflict resolution. Consider a mediator who can train the group in conflict resolution rather than requesting one each time a problem arises.
Summary: Discuss conflicts openly. Don't try to resolve every difference. Address underlying causes of low participation. Resolve arguments over customs, language, and style choices. Improve boring or ineffective meetings Deal with manipulative and argumentative members. Reduce arguments over goals or strategies. Manage pressure from member organizations. Bring in a mediator for serious issues.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You'll be able to come up with more interesting and varied notes for your solo if you base your solo off chords. Chords change much more frequently throughout a song than keys, meaning your chord based solo will likely have a greater variety of notes than a key based one. You may want to go through your song and write the chords for each bar of music if this information isn't already there. Now that your chords are written out, you can play scales or arpeggios in the key of those chords to create a complementary sounding solo. When the chord changes, change the scale or arpeggio you are playing to match the key of the new chord. Keys with the same number accidentals or keys different by only a single accidental on the Circle of Fifths are generally harmonious. You can think of the root of a chord as its most central tone. By playing the root of the chord throughout your solo, weaving it into scales, arpeggios, and more, your solo will sound more tonally centered and harmonic. The letter name of each chord generally indicates its root. For example, a Gmaj7 chord has a root of G, an F#min chord has the root of F#. Voice leading is a common soloing technique. It involves playing a note (or notes) either a half or whole step away from the root of the next chord, before that next chord is played. The notes surrounding the root of your next chord will resolve to that root. When you play the next chord, this technique creates a natural kind of transition between chords.
Summary: Break your song into chords. Solo by soloing according to the chord. Emphasize the root note of the chord in your solo. Voice lead into the root of your next chord.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you're still in high school, start developing your interest in physics early. Take extra physics classes, for instance, and join or start a physics club with like-minded individuals. Participate in science fairs. Apply for science camps in the summer to continue to develop your interest. Read as many books as you can about physics, including biographies about physicists.  It can help to find a role model. If there are physicists in your community, try contacting them to see if they'll help you in your pursuit. Many may be willing to have you shadow them for a period of time. Don't forget to invest time in math classes, as well, as math is essential to physics. Make sure you are well-rounded, though. To do well on college entrance exams, it helps to be proficient in as many subjects as possible. To get into a good school, you must do well on your entrance exams. In the United States, that means doing well on either the SAT or the ACT. Since you're applying for a science program, many schools may want the ACT over the SAT because the ACT has a science section where the SAT doesn't. However, it really depends on the school. To do well on these exams, you'll need to prep ahead of time. Your school may offer prep courses, but you can also purchase study guides that have practice tests. Taking practice tests gives you an idea of what the actual exam will be like, so you can go into the test with less anxiety. Look at universities with physics and science programs, or that are all-around good universities. Not only the top schools have programs in physics. Find a school which is a good fit for you. You can look into state schools with physics programs. Though not necessary, it can help to know whether you want to go into theoretical or experimental physics, though it's not a requirement.
Summary:
Focus on physics in high school, if you can. Take your entrance exams. Find the right undergraduate program.
