In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To blend in better in social situations, try observing, rather than taking action. Observe how others around you socialize and communicate. You can then hang out and simply watch, rather than participate, in conversations. When you are observing others, you may also notice how certain groups socialize with each other. You may then try to socialize with them in the same way to blend in better with their social group. If you are a tourist in a foreign country trying to blend in, you should try to adopt the customs and practices of the locals. You can also mimic others to try to blend in with social groups at work, chatting about accepted topics of discussion and speaking in a similar tone of voice as everyone else. As a tourist in a foreign country, you can also blend in by learning some of the local language and customs. Speaking with locals in their own language or acting like locals act in general will help you blend in better. Modulate your voice to fit the tone and volume of those around you. This way, you can blend into the existing environment and not startle or freak out others.  In an office environment, this may mean keeping your voice low and unassuming when you speak. You may take on a gentle, low tone so you can blend into conversations going on around you or the quieter sounds of an office. In a foreign country, you should also be aware of the volume and tone of your voice. You do not want to be the tourist laughing and chatting loudly in a quiet local cafe. Try to adopt a tone of voice that mimics the locals around you and that allows you to blend in rather than stand out. Let others dominate the conversation and speak up every now and then to ask thoughtful questions that help keep the conversation going. This way, you are participating in the conversation but not drawing undue attention to yourself.  For example, maybe you are joining an ongoing conversation at the office. Your co-workers may be discussing their weekends. Let them both share and ask questions like, “Do you go to the lake often?” or “How often do you go camping on the weekends?” These questions will keep the conversation flowing and allow you to be a part of the discussion. If you are hanging out with friends who know each other well, they may not be interested in getting-to-know-you questions like “Where are you from?” or “How do you know each other?” To blend in better during the hang out, focus on contributing to the conversation by sharing your own experiences and thoughts that are on topic.
Summary: Observe others, rather than take action. Mimic the customs and practices of others. Keep your voice low and unassuming. Ask thoughtful questions.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Natural childbirth is not always an option. Certain health conditions, such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes, may make a natural birth more difficult or risky for you.

In some cases, you may be able to give birth naturally as long as you are monitored for complications. Arming yourself with the positive reasons for having a natural birth can help keep you motivated throughout the birth process. Some of the reasons that you may want to consider a natural childbirth include:  A natural birth can save both you and your baby from the stress and unpleasant side effects of medication, surgery, and physical intervention. Many women who are guided through a natural birth also report less pain, anxiety, confusion, and stress than women undergoing births with medical intervention. Natural birth can provide a more personal experience that focuses on the overall well-being of mother and baby. Because you will be fully aware during the birth, you may remember it better and be able to enjoy it more. Having a natural birth reduces the chances that you will need a Cesarean section. Women who have natural births also tend to recover faster. Although natural births have long been the norm, natural birth may put you at an elevated risk for complications.  Natural birth may pose some danger to you if you have other health conditions if you are not attended by a health professional if you are not in proximity to a medical facility in case of emergency and if the baby presents in a challenging position. Remember that it's okay if you end up deviating from your plan and do not achieve natural childbirth. There is no shame in this, and it is not a failure. The most important thing is doing what is best for you and your baby, and at times this may mean not doing natural birth. Even with careful planning and the best prenatal care, situations may arise during childbirth that require medical interventions. Some reasons why medical intervention may be necessary include:  Misplaced placenta (placenta previa) Active herpes infection or HIV infection Previous C-section deliveries Baby will not tolerate labor Induction of labor for the health of the mother or the baby
Summary: Determine whether a natural birth is possible for you. Consider the benefits of natural birth. Know the risks of natural birth. Keep in mind that medical interventions may be necessary for certain situations.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This will relieve the pressure on your jaw. Put your tongue between your teeth to control clenching or grinding during the day.

Drop your mouth open, while applying light pressure against the TMJ. Repeat this exercise six times per session, six sessions per day. Don’t apply resistance to your chin when you open your mouth.
