Summarize the following:
Odds are you know exactly how to push the other person's buttons, but it's important to resist if you want to have a civil argument. Resolve that no matter how upset he or she makes you, you will not say the one thing you know would push the argument over the edge. Respect what the other person has to say. An argument has to be two-sided; if you fail to hear the other side out, they will return the gesture and not listen to you. Refuting a person's opinion is fine, but refusing to hear it makes a debate pointless. You should always be respectful when arguing with another person. Remember, that's what they are: another person. Treat them the way that you would want to be treated. Don't immediately dismiss their ideas just because they don't agree with you. Listen to them. When you argue with someone, you should remember to only attack that person's ideas, not the person themselves. That means you shouldn't call the person stupid for thinking what they think, and you shouldn't devolve to attacks on their physical appearance either. When you make a mistake, admit it. Admit that you misunderstood or were misinformed. Being wrong doesn't make you a lesser person but admitting you're wrong does make you the bigger person. If you've hurt someone or your argument caused problems, you should apologize. Be the adult in the situation and take responsibility for your actions. The best way to argue positively is to be open to new ideas. You don't want to be wrong in an argument again, do you? Open yourself to the possibility of a better  way of thinking or new, fascinating information.

summary: Play fair. Respect the other person. Attack ideas, not the person they're attached to. Admit when you are wrong. Apologize when appropriate. Be open to new ideas.

If you’ve lost a traditional (non-smart) phone that does not have internet connectivity, you won’t be able to track the phone online and will have to use other methods. Begin by calling the phone. If you’re lucky, the person who stole your phone may answer. Alternately, if your phone has simply been misplaced (e.g. on a taxi seat or a subway car), someone may answer who can meet you at a location to exchange the phone. If you call your phone and someone answers, say “Hello, this is [your name], and you’re holding my cell phone. The phone is important to me and I need to get it back; is there a location where we could meet and exchange the phone?” Even if no one answered when you called your phone, it’s still worth texting it. The thief may eventually change their mind, and decide to return the phone to you, its owner. Send a brief text that provides your contact information and asks for the phone to be returned. If you think it would help, you could also promise a reward to the individual if they return your phone. To do this, you’ll need access to another cell phone. Ask a friend to borrow theirs. If you’re not near a friend, a kind stranger may allow you to borrow their cell phone to text yours. If someone—whether or not it’s the thief who initially took your phone—agrees to meet with you to give your phone back to you, take safety precautions. Arrange to meet with the individual in a public place—such as a city square or transit station—during daylight hours. If possible, don’t go alone; bring a friend with you for the sake of companionship and safety. Ask your friend to bring their phone, so that they can call the police if anything illicit happens. Even if the individual returning your phone sounds friendly over the phone (or over text), you should still plan to take precautionary measures.

summary: Call your phone. Text the phone. Take safety measures if you meet to exchange the phone.


Summarize the following:
Once a flower has faded, cut the flower where it meets the main stalk with a clean knife or scissors. Make sure to remove the green lump and thin green stem attaching the flower to the stalk. This prevents the plant from producing seeds, which requires a lot of energy that could be going into survival and growth instead. The main stalks contain food and water the plant can use, but they will likely begin to droop or turn yellow shortly after the flowers fade. They are no longer useful at this point, and should be cut back to within 2 inches (5 cm) of the bulb.  Be careful not to cut the leaves or the top of the bulb. Only the flower stalks should be removed.  Do not be alarmed if sap runs out of the cut. This is normal for a well-watered plant. Most people with amaryllis plants keep them indoors while they bloom in winter. If this is the case, move the plant to a windowsill with indirect sunlight to let it adjust to increased sunlight. Pick a spot that is bright and receives lots of sunlight, but not by direct exposure. You may skip this step if the plant was already exposed to indirect or full sunlight.  In the northern hemisphere, north and east facing windows receive indirect sunlight. In the southern hemisphere, south and east facing windows do. Make sure to keep the plant relatively cool, too, at about room temperature. This is around or slightly warmer than 60 degrees F. Your amaryllis will likely require daily watering unless kept in a humid environment or planted outside in moist soil. Don't let the soil dry out completely, at least not for longer than a few hours. You’ll want to keep the soil just slightly moist at all times. After growth begins, also fertilize the plant with a half-strength, water-soluble fertilizer every two or three weeks. Depending on your local climate, this typically begins in May or June in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere, warm weather usually begins in December or January.
summary: Remove each flower as it fades. Cut the flower stalks once they yellow or sag. Move the amaryllis to an area with bright indirect light. Water the soil whenever it begins to dry. Continue on to the summer section as soon as the weather becomes warm.
