In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When a friend is dealing with anxiety, they can't put off how they're feeling until you're available to help them deal with it. Show that you see them as a priority by pressing “pause” on other things to be there for them.  For instance, if a friend says, “I'm freaking out about my upcoming test,” it won't help reassure them if you say “Can we talk about this later?” Instead, make time for them right away—even if for only a few minutes. You might say, “Okay, can you tell me more about what's going on?” In some cases, you don't have to say anything at all. Just sit silently with your friend to help reassure them that they are safe and sound. Active listening is a great tool that helps strengthen relationships, but it can also help reassure someone who's feeling upset. Oftentimes, when people are troubled, others may only be interested in getting them to calm down. A better route is to hear your loved one out. Make eye contact, turn to face the person, and nod your head encouragingly. Once they've finished talking, restate what they said to be sure you got the right message. Restating might sound like, “If I'm hearing you right, you're saying…” It's helpful to show your friend that they're not abnormal for feeling how they feel. You can do this by  validating their emotions. Validation is a big part of helping them feel reassured. For instance, if your friend says they're afraid that they have a stalker, you might say, “Wow, I would be frightened if someone was following me, too.” Anxiety and fear can get a person hung up in the present moment, making them completely forget that these feelings are temporary. Reassure your friend by reminding them that the feeling will go away. You might even remind them of a time when they got through a similar circumstance.  Saying something like, “I know this is tough for you, but it will get better. Remember how tough it was when your dad died. You got through that and you will get through this.” When you do this, remind them that it's okay to not be okay sometimes. You could say, "It makes sense that you feel depressed right now. I know I would. Take as long as you need to work through these feelings." Reassurance and urgency don't belong together, which means you can't try to rush your friend into feeling better again. This is hard because we always want the people we care about to be happy and calm, but rushing the situation will only make things worse. An anxious or frightened friend may need you to listen and validate them over and over again before they start to feel better. Be patient and don't try to speed up the process.
Summary: Make yourself available to them. Be a good listener. Make them feel understood. Remind them that they won't always feel this way. Be patient.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Twitter has set what they believe are reasonable limits for personal tweeting. Dial back your tweeting for a week, to see if your results actually improve as you are more discerning. If you do not want to limit your tweets or follows, then make a second or third free Twitter account. Try to associate the accounts to each other, so that it will be easy to gain followers who are familiar with your first account. Choose whether you want to use your computer, phone or blog and stick to that client. Reducing your Twitter clients will help you to remain within API limits and keep you out of Twitter Jail. If you want to post links to your blog yourself, unlink your website from your Twitter account.  Every time you post new content, you website may push it to Twitter. If you do not want to tweet new content yourself, then linking your accounts may be the best option. Make sure other website or blog editors are not updating the site more than 100 times per hour or 1,000 times per day, or your blog can put you in Twitter Jail. Direct messaging limits may be easy to reach if you are using them for work or important conversations. Reach out via email or phone to save time with work conversations or networking.
Summary: Reduce the amount you tweet and retweet. Create another Twitter account. Be selective with your Twitter clients. Beware that blog tweeting may result in duplicate content. Propose that you text or email with Twitter users who are good friends or colleagues.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Surgical treatment may be ideal for some back problems. For example, if your dachshund has IVDD that has not responded to medical therapy, then your vet would perform a surgery to remove the extruded disc material. This would decrease pressure on the spinal cord and allow it to heal. Surgery may be possible to remove a tumor, depending on its size and location.  If your dachshund has spinal trauma, immediate surgery may help; however, the trauma (and other injuries) may be too severe for your dachshund to withstand surgery. Your vet will discuss all surgical options with you and let you know if your dachshund would be able to handle the surgery. Your vet may refer you to a veterinary neurosurgeon. If your dachshund has surgery, then you will need to care for her at home to ensure she has a full recovery. In general, at-home care involves pain reduction, exercise restriction, and physical therapy (if possible). Realize that a successful surgical outcome (e.g., pain relief, ability to walk) may not be apparent for several days to weeks after surgery. You may have to express your dachshund’s bladder after surgery. Your vet can show you how to do this. If your dachshund’s back problem has left his rear legs paralyzed, he may need a doggie wheelchair so he can get around. As your dachshund recovers from surgery, he may no longer need the wheelchair. Ask your vet for recommendations on wheelchairs and how to use one.
Summary:
Discuss surgical options with your vet. Care for your dachshund after surgery. Consider purchasing a doggie wheelchair for your dachshund.
