Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find a silver- or gold-colored bead. Find a small stick-on rhinestone. Attach the jeweled piece about and inch above your belly button. Glue the bead inside your navel. Let your adhesive dry.

Answer: The bead can be plastic or metal, but it should be small enough to fit inside your belly button. You can buy inexpensive beaded necklaces at discount stores for as little as $1 and cut a single bead off with scissors. You can also use wire cutters and snip the post from the back of a bead earring. The small jewels have adhesive applied to the back so it will stay on your skin. You can also snip off the post of a jeweled earring stud (as long as it has a flat back) with wire cutters. The size of the rhinestone is up to you, but your fake piercing will look more realistic if the jewel is smaller than the bead you chose. If you're using a stick-on piece, you don't need to add adhesive. If you made your own piece of jewelry, use spirit gum, nail glue, eyelash glue or body glue so the jewel adheres to your skin. Since the back of the bead won't be visible, you can get a little creative with your adhesive. Try to place the bead in the upper part of your belly button, so that it looks like it's attached to the jewelry above. Don't jostle or move the pieces for a few minutes while the adhesive dries. It helps to lie down while the glue dries.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Follow the assignment guidelines. Create an outline. Write an introduction. Write topic sentences for each paragraph. Write body paragraphs. Write the conclusion.

Answer: In some cases, your teacher might want you to answer a specific question about the historical figure, create a claim or thesis that guides your research, or even explain how you view the person. Read through the assignment guidelines several times and make sure that your research and report follows the expected format. This is a rough plan for the report that will help you to organize your thoughts and it will actually make writing the actual paper easier. Begin with your main point. This should be the main subject of the introduction. Then list sub points, these are the specific topics of the body paragraphs of the report. The sub points are usually all the ways that you can prove your main overarching point.  For example, if your main point about The Beatles is that they were the most popular band in the 1960s, say that in the introduction. The point of every following paragraph will support that assertion. The outline can be created in any form you like. Some people like to start listing the points they want to make, while others prefer to create a structured outline that lays out the organization of the paper in detail. You can also list an outline for the conclusion but the conclusion usually just reiterates the main point brought up in the introduction. Start your introduction by using an attention grabbing statement or startling fact to draw the reader's attention. Also be sure to include significant information about this person in the introduction, so that a reader who doesn't know who this person is can have a bit more information.  You also need to introduce your main point. This should be a topic sentence that goes toward the end of the introduction. Include when and where this person was born in the introduction. Consider waiting until the end of your report to discuss when they died. Don't address the person by their first name. It sounds very unprofessional. You can call them by their full name in your introduction, but after that, use their last name. These will be the sentences that make the clear point of each paragraph. The rest of the paragraph, after this topic sentence, will be all about proving the point of the topic sentence.  For example, if the point of one paragraph is that The Beatles sold more albums than other artists in the 1960s, state that as the topic sentence. Don't mince words about your point. State it clearly and strongly. Each paragraph needs to have a topic sentence. If you think your paragraph doesn't have one, then you need to do some editing. If you are new to writing reports, try giving three examples to support your topic sentence for each paragraph. This could include specific information, such as dates or figures, that you found during your research for the report. Include direct evidence found in your sources, and cite quoted and paraphrased information as required by the assignment guidelines.  Each example you give to prove the topic sentence should be in a separate sentence. This means that your paragraphs should be around 4 to 5 sentences long. Giving specific examples will help you prove the paragraph's point. Instead of giving your opinion, back up your points with facts. How many paragraphs you need for your report will vary. In most cases, 5 paragraphs will be ideal: 1 for the introduction, 3 for the body, and 1 for the conclusion.  If your teacher gives you a set word count or page count that you need to meet, you may have to increase or decrease the number of body paragraphs. Restate your three main points, and conclude your paper with a sentence stating the significance of the person, which was the topic sentence of your introduction. The purpose of the conclusion is simply to restate your assertions and how you proved them, so that the reader goes away with a clear picture of what your report was about.  Begin the concluding paragraph by rephrasing the main point and examples. For instance, in an essay on The Beatles' popularity, you could state, "Clearly, The Beatles staggering record sales, huge fan base, and enduring legacy illustrate the bands lasting importance." In some cases, the conclusion may remind the reader of your attention grabbing sentence used in the intro. Don't introduce new information in your conclusion. If you are tempted to, find a place to include it in the body of the essay instead.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Sign up for electives related to accounting while you're in high school. Enroll in a 2-year accounting degree program. Take courses in accounting principles, financial management, and math. Build your knowledge of spreadsheet and accounting software. Refine your financial analysis skills.

Answer: In addition to required coursework, load up your electives with as many relevant courses as possible. Take any classes related to accounting, personal finance, business management, and keyboarding that your high school offers. Bookkeepers typically need a 2-year associate degree, but some businesses hire applicants who've earned a high school diploma. Either way, taking relevant electives in high school will help prepare you for a career in bookkeeping. Pursue a degree at a vocational school, community college, online school, or brick-and-mortar university. Look for associate degree programs in bookkeeping, accounting, or business administration. Accounting is the perfect degree program for aspiring bookkeepers, but that doesn't mean bookkeepers and accountants do the same work. Bookkeepers basically compile financial information, then accountants analyze that data, generate models, and create big-picture financial strategies. Foundational courses for bookkeeping students include business accounting, managerial accounting, tax accounting, and payroll management. Additionally, bookkeepers are expected to follow strict ethical standards, so it's wise to take a class in business ethics. Even if you don't enroll in a degree program, you can still take classes here and there online or at a community college. Relevant college-level coursework will make you a more competitive candidate when you're on the job hunt. At school or independently, enroll in coursework related to accounting information systems. Common programs include Microsoft Excel, QuickBooks, Sage, and Oracle Financials Cloud. It's also important to have strong typing skills and to proficiently use the 10-digit number pad, which is typically on the far right of the keyboard. A keyboarding class can help you develop these skills. Whenever possible, it's wise to take courses, read books, or watch educational videos about financial analysis. Relevant topics include data forecasting, statistics, financial strategy, risk assessment, and credit analysis. As technology advances, many routine bookkeeping tasks have and will continue to become automated. For this reason, analysis and advisement are becoming important skills and will help you stay relevant as the industry evolves.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Watch for hyperinsulinemia. Pay attention to infertility. Take obesity seriously. Look for skin changes. Track pelvic and abdomen pain. Monitor the quality of your sleep. Be aware of any psychological symptoms. Examine your family history.

Answer:
Hyperinsulinemia is an excessive level of insulin. It is sometimes confused with diabetes or hypoglycemia, but it is a different condition. For women with PCOS, it results from your body having a tendency to resist the effects of insulin. Visit your doctor if you experience some of the following symptoms:  Weight gain Sugar cravings Feeling hungry frequently or intensely Difficulty concentrating or staying motivated Anxiety or panic Fatigue As a symptom of PCOS, hyperinsulinemia is connected to the increased production of androgens. This can cause oily skin, acne, facial and body hair. In addition, you may gain weight around your abdomen. If your doctor suspects you have hyperinsulinemia, she will likely order a glucose tolerance test (GTT). Treatment for hyperinsulinemia includes a diet and exercise plan and may also include a drug called Metformin, which can reduce your insulin levels. Whether your doctor prescribes Metformin or not, ask for a referral to a dietician. A good nutrition plan is a crucial part of treatment.  Check fasting insulin, glucose, hemoglobin A1c and c-peptide levels. Although there is no definitive test to diagnose insulin resistance, these levels are often higher than normal in PCOS patients with insulin resistance. If you are struggling to get pregnant and you have irregular periods, you may have polycystic ovary syndrome. In fact, PCOS is the most common cause of infertility. Irregular or absent ovulation makes it difficult or impossible to conceive. Higher hormone levels sometimes increase the risk of miscarriage in women with PCOS who do manage to get pregnant. See your doctor if you cannot get pregnant. Obesity is always a health concern, but it may also be a sign of PCOS. Because of increased levels of insulin, women with PCOS often accumulate fat around the waist and wind up with a pear-shaped appearance, and they typically have a difficult time losing weight. About 38% of women with PCOS are obese. An obese adult typically has a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. If you have PCOS, you may develop velvety, light brown or black patches of skin on your neck, armpits, thighs, and breasts (these are called acanthosis nigricans). You may also develop skin tags. These are small flaps of skin, which often occur in the armpits or on the neck. Some women with PCOS experience pain or discomfort in the pelvis, abdomen or lower back. Pain may be dull or stabbing, and it may range in intensity from mild to severe. The pain or discomfort may be similar to the pain you feel at the beginning of a menstrual period. Some women with PCOS have sleep apnea, a condition in which you snore and stop breathing periodically while asleep. This can result either from increased estrogen and testosterone levels or from obesity, both of which are associated with PCOS. Women with PCOS seem to be quite susceptible to anxiety and depression. These symptoms may have physical causes, such as hormonal imbalances. They may be a reaction to the other symptoms, especially infertility. PCOS can be a hereditary condition. If your mother or sister has PCOS, you may also develop it. Consider your family’s medical history to determine if you are predisposed to having PCOS.  It is common for women with PCOS to have family members who have diabetes. It is common for women with PCOS to have been unusually small or unusually large babies at birth.
