Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Raise the narrow end of the tie over the collar loop on your left side. Thread the narrow end behind the collar loop on the tie’s right side. Cross the narrow end over the wide end. Push the narrow end up and behind the loop around your neck. Bring the narrow end of the tie down over the right side of the knot. Loop the narrow end around the knot and through the diagonal band. Coil the narrow end around the right side of your collar loop. Bring the narrow end across the knot and through the collar loop. Take the narrow end through the loop you just made. Hide the remainder of the narrow end.

Answer: The collar loop is the part of the tie that wraps around your collar. Raise the narrow end up so that is in front of the collar loop and pointing toward your face. Make it so the narrow end of the tie is on your right side when you finish this step. Position the narrow end so that it is facing outward. Make the narrow end as horizontal as possible when crossing. Double check to make sure there is no slack in tie at this point. Squeeze the narrow end behind your collar loop. As you pull it through the loop, make it so that the inside of the tie is facing outward. Tighten the tie to get rid of any slack. Pull the narrow end of the tie down so that it is snug against the knot. Make it form a diagonal band running from the left down to the right over the knot. Guide the narrow end behind the knot to the left. Then bring it back across toward the right side and over the knot. When crossing over the knot, weave the narrow end through the diagonal band. Pull the knot tight to create a diagonal band on the left side. From the knot, raise the narrow end straight upward. Then, thread it down between your neck and the right side of your collar loop. The narrow end of your tie should end up on the right side of the tie with its inside facing outward. Aim the narrow end of the tie straight upwards. Then guide it between your neck and your collar loop down to the left side of your knot.  The narrow end of your tie should be on your left side with its inside facing outward. Keep some slack in your tie at this stage. Bring the narrow end toward your right, across the front of the knot. After going through the loop, tighten the knot. Adjust it so that the diagonal folds are even. Fold the rest of the narrow end over your collar loop. Then you can either tuck it behind the wide end of your tie or put it underneath the loop around your neck. You can tighten your tie by pulling on the wide end.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Roast or broil meat and vegetables to get rich flavor that's low in fat. Grill Stir-fry Steam Avoid deep-frying or pan-frying foods.

Answer: Start by trimming the meat of visible fat and place it in a roasting dish with vegetables. If you're making a large piece of meat, cook it at low heat for a long time so the meat tenderizes. To cook thinner cuts of meat or vegetables, place them on a sheet about 3 inches (7.6 cm) below a broiler and broil them until they're as cooked as you like. Keep in mind that thin cuts of lean meat should usually be cooked quickly so they don't become tough. lean meats and vegetables to add a smoky flavor. Grilling is a great low-fat technique since any fat from the food will drip through the grates instead of being reabsorbed by the food. You can also add a handful of woodchips to the grill to enhance the flavor of the smoke. To make it easier to grill vegetables, place them in a grill basket which you can set directly on the grates. to quickly make a low-fat meal. Skip the batter and slice lean meat or vegetables into thin strips while you heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Spritz a little cooking spray into the pan and add the prepped food. Keep stirring as the food cooks so it heats evenly and doesn't stick. This is a great way to get caramelized flavor without adding a lot of fat. If the food starts to stick to the pan, add a few spoonfuls of water or vegetable stock. meat and veggies to create tenderness without the fat. Instead of cooking meat and vegetables in fat, such as butter or oil, cook it in water! Heat about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water in a pot until it starts simmering and producing steam. Then, put your food into a steamer basket and set it into the pot. Put the lid on and steam the food until it's tender and cooked throughout. The bottom of the steamer basket shouldn't be touching the water or the food will boil instead of steam. Foods that are battered or fried in oil and grease are high in saturated fat. This is because the food absorbs some of the fat as it fries. Instead of using these methods to get crispy foods, try coating foods, such as chicken pieces or fish, in panko breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes before baking them. If you choose to stir-fry foods instead of deep-frying them, you can add extra crunch by sprinkling some toasted nuts over the food just before serving.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Bite your tongue and smile. Have an exit strategy. Establish healthy boundaries. Be tactful.

Answer:
In some cases – such as when the opinionated person is in a position of authority over you – you’ll have little choice but to make the best of a bad situation. Reframe your conversations away from topics that make you uncomfortable. If you don’t want to talk about the topics that the opinionated person brings up, shift focus to topics that you are more comfortable discussing. It does not have to be something you are even interested in, just steer the conversation away from sensitive topics. Ask the person about his or her family or interests. If you know you’re going to have to spend time with an opinionated person, make plans for minimizing the time you spend together. At work, this could mean avoiding areas where that person is or having a reply prepared so that you can excuse yourself and leave the situation. At family events, plan activities that will allow you to avoid face-to-face conversations. If the opinionated person insists on talking about religion, politics, money, or any topic that makes you feel uncomfortable, attempt to privately tell that person that you don’t like to talk about such things and that you’d appreciate avoiding those discussions.  Be firm. If the person keeps bringing up those topics, remind him or her that you don’t want to have that discussion. For example: "I'm so glad you have gotten so much from your faith. But I feel my belief in God is a private thing, and I'd rather talk about something else." Say something such as “I know you have strong opinions on that, but that topic makes me uncomfortable. I really don’t want to talk about it.” Or, simply deflect: "Let's talk about something lighter, huh? Tell me, how is that new baby of yours?" If the opinionated person is constantly giving advice or trying to show you a better way to do something, simply respond with a respectful “Thanks for the suggestion” or “I appreciate you pointing that out to me.” If he or she is correct, you’ll want to follow the advice. If not, simply ignore it and do what’s best.  Realize that you might find yourself reacting against the opinionated person. There might be times when the opinionated person really does know what he or she is talking about but is putting forth his or her opinions in an obnoxious or domineering way. In those cases, you might be tempted to ignore his or her advice, simply to make a point. Don’t let anger cloud your judgment. Resist the temptation to be passive-aggressive. Even if you don’t get into a shouting match with an opinionated person, you might be tempted to roll your eyes at them or mutter snide comments under your breath. Doing so will only increase the tension between you and the opinionated person.
