Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Practice overcoming your tells while drinking. Keep your context in mind when trying to act sober. Practice field sobriety tests. Avoid scenarios where it's impossible to pretend to be sober.

Answer: You can push your limits. If you find yourself too drunk to avoid showing your tells, practice overcoming them. You may ask your sober buddy to evaluate you. Practice acting sober while drunk until you can pull it off successfully to your sober buddy. Not all venues are conducive to your acting sober. Acting sober at a bar is far different than acting sober at a traffic stop or in front of angry parents. If you push your limits, you may not be able to act sober at the same rate in every scenario. When you know you are potentially moving to a new scenario, let your drunkenness wear off a little more before attempting to act sober. When you are pulled over there are certain tests the authorities may use to test your sobriety short of a breathalizer. Many of these tests are designed to be increasingly difficult the more drunk you are. The novelty of these scenarios means if you are not practiced, you may find yourself too nervous to act sober. Be sure to have a sober person evaluate you. Let them study the behaviors a law enforcement agent will be looking for. Then they can accurately tell you what you are doing wrong to the best of their ability. Some bodily behaviors give you away because they are unavoidable.  Even when you learn to control yourself enough to act sober, your body may not act as sober as you want it to. A breathalyzer test may reveal that your body has not metabolized alcohol as fast as you wished it would. The vocal cords, eye muscles, and legs may not perform the way a sober person's would. Whenever your body is acting beyond your ability to hide your drunkenness, avoid scenarios where they may give you away. If you are pulled over by a police officer, you should submit to their requests. Refusing to perform a field sobriety test or blow into a breathalizer is generally a bad idea. By acquiring your license you may provide implicit consent. Refusing to cooperate with law enforcement may earn you additional citations.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Spread out a tarp in a well-ventilated area. Seal the surface with diluted polyurethane. Apply a coat of polyurethane over the sealant. Add 2-3 more polyurethane coats. Shave off any bumps or uneven areas. Brush on a final coat of polyurethane. Reapply the finish every 2-3 years.

Answer: Find a spot with plenty of air circulation, preferably outside or by an open door, to apply the finish. Layout a tarp to set your pine object on top of to prevent staining the ground or other objects with the polyurethane If you're sensitive to strong odors, put on a respirator before handling polyurethane. Before applying your finish, thin a small amount of polyurethane with mineral spirits in a 2:1 dilution ratio. Dip a paintbrush in the sealant and apply it to your object's surface in long strokes.  The sealant helps the finish stick better to the pine and last longer. If you notice any runs, even them out with your paintbrush before they drip off of your object. Let the sealant dry for 24 hours, then dip a paintbrush in undiluted polyurethane. Brush the polyurethane over the object in long, thin strokes, catching any drips with your brush as you coat the surface. Let the polyurethane dry for 24 hours as well before adding more coats. 2-3 coats are recommended to give your pine a strong, protective finish. Apply at least 1-2 more coats of polyurethane, letting each coat dry in between applications. Once the last coat has dried, cut away any bumps or dried up drips with a razor blade. Cut just deep enough to smooth away the bumpy areas, then rub the entire surface in 400-grit sandpaper for an even finish.  Work carefully to avoid cutting the wood or shaving off the entire finish.  Wipe the object off with a damp cloth to remove shavings or sandpaper dust before adding the final polyurethane coat. After smoothing the uneven areas, dip a paintbrush in polyurethane and apply a final coat. Work as evenly as possible, checking for any blemishes or drips as you work, then let it dry for 24 hours.  If your final coat turns out smooth and even, you have successfully applied the polyurethane finish. You may need to smooth certain areas down and apply another finishing coat if, after drying, you notice additional bumps and blemishes. Polyurethane finishes, on average, last between 2-3 years. If your pine's finish seems dull or you notice signs of weather damage, freshen the object up with a new finish.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose the right treadmill. Look for certain features. Be safe.

Answer: There are a variety of treadmill types and you want to make sure you choose the right one for your dog.  Animal powered treadmills are specifically designed for animal use, and prices range from $300 to $600. If you don't plan on using the treadmill yourself and only intend to use it for your dog's workout, this might be a good option.  Motorized treadmills, designed for human use, tend to be more expensive. Prices range from $500-$5,000 depending on what features you get. They can usually be used safely by dogs if you take proper precautions. If you plan on using the treadmill as well, you should get a motorized treadmill. If the device is only for your dog, you might want to save money and go with an animal treadmill. Depending on your fitness goals for your dog, certain features might be necessary.  Incline control allows you to increase the intensity of the walking surface to make the workout more effective. If you're training your dog for fitness or agility events, or your dog is severely overweight, this feature can help get your dog in shape.  Track length is based on the size of your dog. Smaller dogs, like beagles and and small terriers, would best be suited for a 29 by 14 inch length. Medium sized dogs, like Australian shepherds, boxers, and spaniels, would benefit from a 47 by 17 inch track. Anything bigger would require a 75 by 17 inch track.  A treadmill with a time and distance meter can help you track how many miles your dog is running in how much time. This is probably only necessary if you're trying to get your dog in shape for a marathon or competition. It might not be needed for casual exercise. Certain safety precautions should be taken when using a treadmill with your dog.  Do not feed a dog before a strenuous workout. This can cause cramping, abdominal pain, and even vomiting.  Always use a leash, but never tie a dog to a treadmill and leave her unsupervised. This can lead to injury and even death.  You should start off before each work with a slow, steady walk for a warm-up and then slow down the pace again towards the end of a workout to allow your dog to cool down.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a topic. Identify your target audience. Research your topic. Study similar magazines. Define your mission statement. Think of a title.

Answer:
Magazines usually have a theme or topic for all of their content. A good theme is general enough for you to write plenty on but specific enough that it caters to a specific audience. Some themes have more magazines than others, and you may want to break out into your own niche. As you come up with your theme, ask yourself:  Is this an art or literary journal? A lifestyle journal? Is it about a certain hobby or fashion? Will I be reporting news or trends? Do other magazines cover this topic? How could I uniquely present this topic? What makes my idea different? What kinds of articles could I write for this magazine? You should determine what kind of person will be reading your magazine. By focusing on your audience, you will refine your magazine towards a specific niche. Try to determine the following:  Who would be interested in this topic? Am I marketing to a specific gender, age, religion, cultural background, or sexual orientation? Would people in certain industries or careers be more attracted to this type of magazine? What kinds of concerns does this audience have? How would this audience relate to my magazine? How often would I publish this magazine? Monthly? Weekly? Every two weeks? Once you know what your theme is, it is good to do some research on it. You may already know the basics, but you should know what people expect of a magazine like yours. Research can help you generate ideas, and it will help you understand what to avoid in your niche.  What are the most recent trends, fads, gadgets, apps, and fashions that relate to my topic? What kinds of articles do people need or want? What kind of tone do I need to set for this topic? Is it a highly technical subject? Can I use humor? Does it require high academic language or casual writing? The best kind of research you can do is to look at magazines that are similar to what you to do. While you should not steal their content, you can look for inspiration. These magazine can show you what does and does not work in a print medium. You can also find out if your idea has been done before or if the market is already saturated with that type of magazine. You can also contact the editors of these magazines to find out what printers they use, what their costs are, and how they sell advertisements. Write out a sentence or two that outlines what you want the purpose of your magazine to be. This statement should include who the targeted audience is and why they should read your magazine. For example, if you wanted to make a lifestyle magazine for young women interested in knitting, your mission statement could be: “This magazine seeks to explore the world of knitting for women 20-30 years old by fostering networks of creativity and offering the latest product reviews, fun and unique patterns, and monthly knitting contests.” The title should relate to your theme. It should be fun, catchy, and memorable. Good titles tend to be one to three words. It should clearly express what your magazine is about.
