Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick a sunny climate with moderate rainfall. Choose soil with adequate drainage. Plant sandalwood beside a suitable host species.

Answer: Sandalwood does best in places with lots of sun, moderate rainfall, and fairly dry weather for part of the year. They prefer a temperature range of 12°-30° C (53°-86° F). The annual rainfall should be in the range of 850-1200 millimeters (33-47 inches). In terms of altitude, they can handle anything between 360 and 1350 meters (1181-4429 feet), but prefer moderate altitudes of between 600 and 1050 meters (1968-3444 feet). Avoid any soil that has experienced waterlogging, which sandalwood does not tolerate. If you are planting in a sandy soil, make sure the water doesn’t drain too quickly.  Sandalwood prefers red ferruginous loam. Sandalwood can also be planted in sandy soils, red clay soils, and vertisols. Vertisol is a type of clay-rich black soil that contracts dramatically in dry weather, creating deep mud-cracks. The soil pH should be between 6.0 and 7.5. Sandalwood tolerates rocky ground and gravelly soil. Sandalwood can only thrive if it grows alongside another plant that produces fixed nitrogen, a type of natural fertilizer. The sandalwood tree connects its root system to that of the host tree in order to get the nutrients it needs. Ideally, you should plant your sandalwood next to an already-established host species, such as long-lived wattles (acacia trees) or casuarinas (a genus of tropical evergreens, including ironwoods and sheoaks).  If you need to plant a host species, space them between the sandalwood trees at intervals of 1.6-2 meters (5.2-6.5 feet). Cajanus cajan (pigeon pea) is another good host species for sandalwood trees.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Talk to your doctor before cancelling a flight. Reach out to the airline. Seek a doctor’s note for support animals.

Answer: Get in touch with a doctor as soon as you realize you are too sick to fly. With a note and proper documents, you may be able to get partial or full reimbursement for a missed trip.  Even if you have travel insurance, you can be denied repayment if you don’t see a doctor before cancelling. See your doctor, then cancel. The doctor's note should briefly explain your condition and state that you are not healthy enough to fly in a certain time period. The note should be on the doctor's official letterhead and signed. If you end up with the flu or a life- threatening condition and cannot make a scheduled flight, reach out to the airline. Ask them about their policy regarding sickness. Some airlines will require you to cancel 24 hours in advance of your flight and to sent them the signed doctor's note or a copy.  Some airlines have set cancellation fees. You may be charged this fee when you cancel your flight and then refunded once you provide a doctor's note. Be ready to file a travel insurance claim. Travel insurance often covers cancellation because of illness. If you have a plan, submit the doctor’s note as well as your unused tickets, receipts, and other proofs of payment. Some people rely on animals like dogs for daily help, to navigate or for other physical and emotional needs.  If you use a support animal, you can qualify for special accommodations by getting a doctor’s note.  Landlords and airlines have to accommodate people with disabilities, for instance. By having a demonstrated need, you can bring your support animal with you on flights or into a normally pet-free building.  The law interprets disabilities widely. Chronic depression or pain, AIDS, autism, cancer, or heart disease can all qualify as disabilities. Some people keep support dogs for serious depression, for instance.  Talk to your doctor about a note. It needs to be on letterhead and signed, and she must verify that you have a medical disability and need a support animal. Whether you reveal your diagnosis is your choice. Again, this is confidential information.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick your platform strategically. Select a template that fits your audience. Choose a consistent design. Avoid excessive text in your slides. Use graphs, charts and other visual tools, in place of bulleted lists whenever possible. Try using infographics. Use photographs that are relevant. Focus on the slides themselves, rather than the music or transitions. Proof your visuals.

Answer: If you don’t have a projection screen or you’re outside in full sunlight, a PowerPoint won’t be the best way to present your data. PowerPoint presentations are still the gold standard of the business world; however, you might be able to employ a laptop, a projector or even cell phones to ensure you are reaching your audience. There’s very little reason to design your own template when so many slideshow programs give you compelling templates to choose from. Consistency allows the listener to notice the information, rather than the way it’s presented. Don’t change colors, fonts or structure unnecessarily. Use white space so that the audience’s attention is focused on particular data. Your speaking will provide the insights, so give the data in the most straightforward way. This is a chart or graph that incorporates pictures with data and words to form a coherent, and very attractive, story. You may need to use an infographic service or hire a graphic designer. Make sure you don’t simply use stock imagery. Any way you can tie in company or emotional images will create a better response. These things can detract from a presentation, rather than add to it. A no frills approach is usually best. Ask someone else to proof them. Including typos or incorrect data will reflect poorly on you.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Practice forearm plank. Perform dumbbell pullovers. Do some dumbbell side bends. Do some cardio.

Answer:
The transverse abdominus muscles act like an inner-girdle, wrapping around the sides of your waist. A great exercise for working the transverse abdominus is a basic forearm plank. Begin with your forearms and knees on the ground, with your arms shoulder-width apart. Press up into a forearm plank, keeping your body in one straight line. Hold for 10 seconds, then rest for a few. Repeat this 4 or 5 times. For this exercise you will need a set of dumbbells. Lie down on your back and raise your arms (with weights) in the air (perpendicular to your body). Raise your arms over your head, and bring them back to the starting position. Keep your core engaged the whole time.  Dumbbell pullovers can be done with weights anywhere from 3 to 12 lbs (1.3 - 5.4 kg). Select the weight that works best for you. Do 2-3 sets of 10. In addition to strengthening your transverse abdominus, you will want to tone your obliques to achieve a slim waist. To do this, perform dumbbell side bends. Stand up straight with your feet a bit wider than hip-distance. Hold a dumbbell in one hand. Bend to that side, bringing the dumbbell toward your knee. Then return to your starting position.  Perform three sets of 10. Once again, select the weight that is best for you. In order to reveal your slim, toned waist muscles you will also need to do a little cardio. Anything that raises your heart rate will work, and if it engages your core while doing so, then even better! Try to do 30 minutes of cardio 2-3 times per week. Some options include:  Biking Running Hula-hooping Dancing
