Problem: Article: One way you can raise money is to volunteer to gift wrap at Christmas time. Simply charge people a certain amount for each gift. See if a local department store will let you offer the service in-store. Even if your workplace already has vending machines, you can purchase cheaper snacks at places such as Sam's or Costco. Then sell them for more than you paid but less than what the vending machine charges. Make sure to check with your boss first before trying out this tactic. Many local businesses are willing to donate to charities. For instance, restaurants often pick a couple of days out of a month to donate a portion of their profits to specific charities. Approach one of these restaurants to see if they will use one of their days for your chosen charity. Advertise the event to your family and friends. If your work is normally more formal, ask your boss if you can hold casual days on Fridays with one caveat; people have to pay a certain amount to the charity pot to go casual. You could even have levels of casual, such as someone has to pay more to wear jeans and a t-shirt or less for khakis and a polo.
Summary: Gift wrap at Christmas. Provide cheaper snacks or drinks at your workplace. Look to local businesses. Try casual days at work.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you feel dizzy, sweaty, shaky, or weak, check your blood sugar. If you’re at 70 mg/dl or lower, you may need to eat or drink something with a high sugar content to bring it up. After eating something, wait 15 minutes, then check your blood sugar again. If you’re still below 100 mg/dl, consume something else sugary. Try either taking 3-4 glucose tablets or drinking or eating one of the following to bring your blood sugar back up when it’s low:   1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of apple juice or soda ½ a banana 1 apple 4-5 saltine crackers, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of raisins 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey Candies (e.g. lifesavers, skittles, gummy bears, or starbursts) When you're dehydrated, your blood doesn't have as much liquid to work with, which can throw your blood sugar off balance. Make sure you're getting 10 to 15 cups (2.4 to 3.5 L) of water each day to replenish what you lose. Carbohydrates help keep your blood sugar levels high enough, and they provide your body with energy. However, too many carbs can significantly elevate your blood sugar and also cause weight gain, so try to keep careful track of how many carbohydrates you eat.  First, talk to your doctor or nutritionist about how many carbohydrates you need in a day. Then, use that information to portion out your carbohydrates throughout the day. In general, 15 grams (0.53 oz) of carbohydrates counts as one serving. Generally, men need 4 to 5 servings per meal, or 12-15 servings each day, while women need 3 to 4 servings per meal, or 9-12 servings each day. Remember that this increases or decreases depending on the amount of energy you’re exerting. Sitting in the office requires fewer servings, while climbing a mountain may require many more. Remember to adjust accordingly, as each day is different. When counting carbohydrates, pay careful attention to labels. They will tell you how many carbs are in a certain food, so you don't have to guess. If the food doesn't have a label, look it up on the internet or in a nutrition app to find out. For reference, one slice of bread is often a serving of carbohydrates, as is one small to medium piece of fruit, 0.5 cups (120 ml) of ice cream, and 1 cup (240 ml) of milk. It's generally a good idea to measure out foods when you can. Most people underestimate how much they are eating, which often leads to weight gain. Measure out your food so that you stay aware of the true amount of carbs you’re consuming. If you aren’t sure how much food to measure out, consider scheduling a meeting with a dietician. They should be able to show you what portion sizes look like. Grains are one source of carbohydrates. Whole grains can help steady your blood sugars, so try to get at least half of your grains from whole grains. Choose whole-wheat bread and whole-wheat pasta, for instance, as well as foods like bulgur, oatmeal, and quinoa. Eating balanced meals consistently can be significantly helpful in keeping your blood sugar levels steady. When planning out your meals, choose a balance of protein, fruits, vegetables, starches, and fats.  Opt for lean proteins, such as chicken breast, fish, and beans. Try to limit your intake of fats, particularly trans fats, which are often found in processed foods. Focus mainly on good fats. Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are good fats, and they are found in foods like nuts, sunflower oil, olive oil, fatty fish, flaxseeds, and canola oil. Avocados and peanut oil contain good fats as well, but they’re also calorie-heavy.  Carbohydrates quickly metabolize, meaning they are digested and absorbed quickly. Because of this, they’re able to give your body the quick energy it needs. Protein takes longer to metabolize, so it helps sustain energy. Fruits and vegetables give you fiber, which slows digestion, adds bulk to your diet, and helps stabilize your blood sugar.

SUMMARY: Eat or drink sugary foods if you're at 70 mg/dl or below. Drink 10 to 15 cups (2.4 to 3.5 L) of water a day to stabilize blood sugar. Talk to your doctor about your carbohydrate needs. Read food labels to determine the carbohydrate level. Measure out food to determine servings. Choose whole grains over refined grains to help control your blood sugar. Balance your meals with protein and vegetables.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Jacarandas thrive with sun, and should be planted in an area that will receive frequent, direct sunlight for most of the year. Plant the tree at least 15-feet (4.5 meters) away from any nearby buildings, and do not plant seedlings in the shade of other, larger trees. Jacaranda trees will suffer if their roots don’t drain well, and they need fertile, rich soil to provide them with nutrients. If you’re planting your tree in a large planter or pot, place the jacaranda in a rich soil mixture. A local nursery or Garden center should have a variety of soil bags for sale, and sales staff can help you select a healthy mixture for your jacaranda. If you plant the tree directly into the ground, you’ll have less control over the makeup of the soil than if you were buying it from a plant nursery. Look for a patch of soil that isn’t prone to having puddles and has other plants already growing in it. Jacarandas need frequent watering in order to grow and thrive in temperate climates. Healthy jacaranda trees grow quickly, but will wilt and possibly die if given insufficient water. Between March and October, use a household hose to water the jacaranda tree about once a week. During the cooler winter months, you do not need to water the tree as regularly. The jacaranda will not be growing during November through February, and so you should only water the tree about once a month. Although they begin small as seedlings, jacarandas can grow into massive trees. Jacarandas commonly reach between 25-50 feet (7.6-15 meters) in height and can have a width of 15-30 feet (4.5-9 meters). Plant the jacaranda in a large, open area where it will have room to grow to its full size. For example, jacarandas do well in large front or back yards.  If you plant the jacaranda in an already cramped or crowded space (e.g. under a patio roof or between narrow walls) it will not grow to its full size and may wither and become unhealthy. Plant the tree at least 15-feet (4.5 meters) away from homes and other structures so that falling branches are less likely to cause damage.
Summary:
Plant the jacaranda in a sunny area. Plant the tree in rich, well-drained soil. Water the tree regularly in summer. Plant the tree with plenty of surrounding space.
