Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Point your camera at a barcode. Make sure the barcode is well-lit. Line up the entire QR code in the viewfinder. Line up traditional barcodes in the viewfinder. Adjust the distance between the camera and the barcode. Hold the device steady while the barcode scans.

Answer: The scanner will have a hard time if part or all of the barcode is too dark. Make sure the entire square code is inside the box on your screen. When scanning a traditional line barcode, the line in the viewfinder needs to be perpendicular to the lines of the barcode. This can help focus if the barcode appears blurry. When the scan is successful, you'll feel the device vibrate and hear it beep.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try a scalp massage. Use essential oils. Try a laser comb.

Answer: Massaging your scalp can help increase the circulation of blood to the scamp, which may help promote hair growth. Try doing this while you shampoo your hair.  Try massaging argan, coconut, almond, or castor oil into your scalp. Dip your fingertips in oil and rub in small circular motions along your scalp. Do this a few times through. Adding essential oils to your massage may help promote hair growth. Try massaging these oils into your scalp daily.  Essential oils that promote hair growth include lavender, rosemary, thyme, almond, and cedarwood. You have to dilute essential oils with a carrier oil before applying it to your scalp. Try jojoba, grapeseed, or olive oil. Add three to six drops of your chosen essential oil to a tablespoon of your carrier oil. Some studies have shown effectiveness in 25% of women who use a laser comb. The HairMax Laser Comb is the only FDA approved handheld laser for hair growth.  The laser comb can cost almost $500. This method is usually tried if medical treatments did not work.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Prepare questions and talking points. Set an intention.  Develop your personal elevator pitch Look your best. Identify the stakes of the meeting. Try to schedule the the time and place of the meeting.

Answer: Before you go into your first meeting with someone, think about what you want to learn from them and what you want them to learn about you. This will help you to get clearer about your own thoughts and feelings, and cut down on the possibility of a dull moment in the conversation.  For a job interview, research the company ahead of time. If your questions are about specific aspects of the business, it will show you are a serious candidate who has really considered what it would be like to work for them. If you are meeting someone whose work you admire, take the time to find out more about them so you can ask relevant questions and dig deeper than the average fan. Have a clear answer to the question, "what do I want from this meeting?" When you have your own goals in a meeting, you are more likely to be perceived as someone who is mature and competent. It can also help to "ground" you in situations where you may be nervous. Your intention should be something within your control. If you are applying for a job, the intention "I want to get this job" doesn't give you a specific course of action. Instead, try setting an intention like, "I want to emphasize these 3 qualifications that I think make me the best candidate." This is something that it is within your power to do, and will be more helpful as a guide for you during the meeting. . An elevator pitch is a short summary of who you are and what you do -- and it is not just for elevators! It should be no more than three or four sentences, and it should be able to roll off your tongue with ease.  Practice in front of a mirror or with friends until the pitch feels natural and not rehearsed. Be ready to adjust your pitch for different people and situations. How you look really matters when meeting people. You'll want to choose your outfit based on the context of the meeting, so how you  dress for a job interview will be different for how you  dress for a punk show.  Dress to either  stand out or  blend in. Great first impressions can be made both ways, and your answer to this question will depend on what your intentions are and your own comfort level. Either way, pay attention to the details of your outfit.  How you look isn't just your clothes: it’s also your car or house. Give them a good cleaning if there's a chance the person you want to impress will see them. Pay attention to your mood. You could be dressed to the nines, but if you are having a terrible day, it will probably show. If it’s possible, avoid having to make first impressions when you are really feeling low. In a job interview or an encounter with someone you may never meet again, the first impression might be your only shot at connecting with the person you are meeting. In other cases, like meeting your co-workers on the first day of a new job or moving to a new town, you may want to simply be friendly and let your capabilities demonstrate themselves in the coming days or weeks. If you have the ability to do so, either suggest a place and time that works best for you, or come to an agreement with the person you are meeting about what works best for you both. Keep in mind that the environment of your first meeting can have a big effect on our mood and stress levels.   If you are preparing for a date,  pick a place where you think both you and the person you and your date will feel comfortable. Pick a time of day that allows you time to prepare before hand and relax a bit afterward, so that you aren't rushing from one thing to the next.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Rub extracts on the tooth. Try essential oils. Chew leaves. Cover the sore area with citrus. Make an apple cider vinegar rinse. Bite into garlic, onion, or ginger. Try an asafetida paste.

Answer:
One way to help relieve pain from a cavity is to use natural extracts. You can use vanilla, almond, peppermint or lemon extracts to relieve pain from a cavity. Soak a cotton ball in the extract, and then place the cotton ball on the tooth or gum where the ache is. Leave it there for around ten minutes. You may also choose to put the extract on a Q-tip. Some essential oils have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that can aid in pain relief. Try using sunflower oil, sesame oil, oregano oil, nutmeg oil, clove oil, or tea tree oil to stop cavity pain.  You can place a few drops of the oil into a few tablespoons of the water and rinse your mouth out with the rinse. You can also put the oil on a cotton ball or Q-tip and rub the oil directly onto the sore gum or tooth. You may want to try packing a cotton ball soaked in one of the oils, particularly clove oil, into the cavity. Try not to get the oil anywhere else in your mouth because it could cause irritation.  Make sure you don’t swallow the essential oil. Always spit it out. Plantain and peppermint leaves have anti-inflammatory properties that can help relieve pain in your mouth. To use for tooth cavity pain, place the leaves in your mouth and chew for a few minutes to release the helpful juices. Then, move the leaves over to the sore gum or tooth and let it rest there for around 15 minutes.  You may also choose to use dried peppermint leaves or peppermint tea. Plantains are backyard weeds that have healing properties. The plant is in almost every backyard. The leaves are easy to identify due to the long, vertical veins along the leaf. You may be able to relieve cavity pain using fruit from your refrigerator. Lemons and limes may be able to stop tooth pain because of the citric acid and vitamin C, which have antibacterial properties. Cut the lemon or lime into slices. Then, bite into the slice to release juice into your mouth. Place the juice and the slice over your sore gum or tooth. Apple cider vinegar is used in many folk and home remedies for its antimicrobial properties. To make a rinse for your sore mouth, combine ¼ cup of warm water with two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Swish the solution in your mouth for 30 to 60 seconds. Make sure to swish it around the tooth with the cavity.  Spit out the rinse and repeat two to three times. Rinse with warm water. You can do this three to four times a day, but do not swallow the water-vinegar mixture. Do not repeat the vinegar rinse for more than four days in a row. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which can erode the enamel surface, especially if you brush your teeth immediately after. Garlic, onion, and ginger are known for their antimicrobial properties, which can help with cavity pain. Place a small piece of garlic, onion, or ginger in your mouth, directly over your painful tooth or gum area. Slowly bite down on the sliver, which will release the juice inside. This will relieve the pain by numbing the gums. Asafetida is a plant known for its antimicrobial properties that is used in Middle Eastern traditional medicine. You can use this to make a paste to help with cavity pain. Combine ¼ teaspoon of asafetida powder with fresh lemon juice. Make sure to use enough lemon juice to make a thin, spreadable paste. Spread the paste on the cavity and around the gum. Leave it on for around five minutes.  Rinse the paste from your mouth water. You can put the paste on your tooth two or three times each day.
