Problem: Article: Respect is the cornerstone of any healthy relationship, and a relationship with a nerd is no different.  You shouldn't only respect your partner for their technical skill. Respect them as a person. You can show respect by listening to your partner's needs and desires, telling your partner you respect them for who they are, supporting your partner's choices, and showing gratitude and appreciation for your partner in front of others. You don't need to share all of your interests. It's perfectly fine if you can't wrap your mind around the beauty of coding or cosplay. That being said, every healthy relationship requires some shared interests. Find these, and explore them together.  Try watching TV shows and movies that nerds and non-nerds alike can enjoy, like Game of Thrones or Star Wars. Teach your partner about one of your own more obscure interests. They may come to find that they enjoy it, too! Nerds tend to be highly interested in topics that are relevant to their current passions and ignore those that are not. For example, you may find your partner has difficulty listening to your recap of your day. Let them know that this bothers you, and that you'd like their full attention.  Tell them, “I really want to share my experiences with you, and it would mean a lot to me if you would listen.” Remember, your partner is not trying to be rude! They just need a little wake-up call sometimes. You partner should challenge you, and you should do the same for your partner. This is key for personal growth. Nerds love logic, so engage in some reasoned debates with your nerd. You'll probably end up learning a lot, and grow closer to your partner at the same time. Pick a subject that you are interested in, and do a little research. Your passion will show through, making for a more engaging discussion. Conflict is inevitable in any relationship, nerd relationships included. However, because nerds are focused on facts, they don't respond well to overly-emotional or illogical arguments. Focusing on logical arguments will help you address conflicts with your partner. Nerds often understand logic and facts better than they understand emotion. It may take a while for your partner to be able to open up to you, so be patient.
Summary: Respect your partner. Find activities you both enjoy. Hold your partner accountable in conversation. Challenge your partner with logical discussions. Avoid getting overly emotional during conflicts. Give it time.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Go down on your left knee and place your right foot straight in front of you, as if you were doing a cheat version of the splits. Touch your right foot with both hands and then try to touch your knee with your forehead. Hold this pose for at least 15 seconds.  Bring your left arm over your body and try to touch your right foot. Hold this position, then turn as far as you can to the right and hold again. All of your muscles work in tandem together – so stretching your other muscles (like your leg and core muscles) will help improve back flexibility. Having a strong core will allow you to work on your back flexibility by being able to engage in more poses and stretch further into your poses. Go into a lunge position and push your pelvis down towards the ground. If you feel pressure or pain, lessen the degree of your lunge. Sit back onto your bended knee and stretch out your front leg. Try to put your forehead to your front knee – you should feel a stretch in your hamstring. From this position, try slowly going down into the splits. Go down as far as you can without hurting yourself and hold this position for 30 seconds. Remember that all of your muscles work together to make one strong body – so a flexible, strong back requires flexible, strong muscles in other parts of the body as well. If you can't quite get down into the splits or reach all the way to your toes, that's fine. The more you practice and work on your stretches, the more flexible you'll become. Don't try to force yourself too hard into stretches you can't handle. You don't want to injure yourself.

SUMMARY: Try a standing split stretch. Work your way down to floor splits. Adjust the stretches to suit your specific needs.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Very often when you make a mixtape for a parent or other older relative, it is intended to be a way for them to sample new music. If you're going to show them a lot of new music, spend some time trying to guess whether or not they'll actually enjoy listening to any of it first. Remember, this person has very different musical tastes than you do. For this kind of mixtape, pick the catchiest and most accessible songs you can think of within the confines of whatever type of music you're planning to give away. Use your past as a guide. If you can't figure out which tracks those might be, think back to the first time you heard the albums in question. What tracks immediately caught your attention? Even if you've moved on from them now, those are the tracks most likely to make a good impression on people who haven't heard the music before.
Summary: Hear with the recipient's ears. Pick your tracks based on what you think they will like.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Plants that thrive well in rain gardens are hardy and healthy. Your rain garden will be most low-maintenance with regional plants because they will be adapted to the climate and local rainfall fluctuations. The best place to purchase native plants is at locally-owned plant nurseries. Younger plants will not thrive as well with high quantities of waters, so avoid buying seeds or seedlings. Their root systems are not developed enough to handle the downpour. Perennial plants last for several years, so plants at least one or two years old will have established root systems. Ask your local nursery for specifically mature plants to avoid receiving seedlings. Choose plants that can handle lots of downpour. You can find native wetland plants via the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers National Wetland Plant List (NWPL) by visiting: http://wetland-plants.usace.army.mil/nwpl_static/index.html. You can also check local gardening magazines or your city's plant nursery to ask which wetland plants thrive in your climate. Plants with dense root systems hold rain gardens together best. Shrubs generally have developed root systems that soak up excess water and prevent land erosion. Look for shrubs best adapted to your soil conditions. Most shrubs prefer well-draining soil to clays. Shrubs grow best in moist but not oversaturated conditions. Add several shrubs to rain gardens with especially excessive runoffs.
Summary:
Choose plants native to your area. Purchase perennial plants that have already matured. Look for plants that thrive well in wetlands. Add shrubs for erosion protection.
