Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find volunteers to take tickets and lead people to their seats. Devise a money-management method. Arrive at your venue early on the day of each event. Thank your guests. Learn and improve. Enjoy your concert series!

Answer: Consider using high school students for this, since they often need community service hours in order to graduate. You want to know exactly how much money is coming in the door and through your vendors to your cause. You can use this later to announce your success or persuade to crowd to donate more to help you reach a goal. With the decline of cash payments, many people will no longer be carrying cash around with them. Consider using a mobile payment processor to allow guests to buy tickets and donate. There are several options to choose from to be sure to do your research. Make sure the venue, vendors, and your volunteers are ready. Reinforce why you are all there and the difference you are making. Walk around and thank your guests for coming. Be sure to also thank your sponsors, artists, and other contributors on stage during a break in the band's set. Track the successes and mistakes of your first concert and implement changes in the following ones. You made this happen, and with luck you will be able to call it a success. Whether you raise $10 or $10,000, you've brought people together for a cause you believe in and a good time.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Eat foods with antidepressant properties. Try supplements. Cut alcohol and drugs. See a therapist.

Answer: In addition to eating a balanced diet, increase foods that are known to help with depression. These include foods high in omega 3 fatty acids, such as salmon, sardines and walnuts, and food high in other healthy fats, such as avocados and coconut oil. There are many supplements on the market that are said to act as natural antidepressants. Be sure to talk with your doctor before adding supplements to your routine, as many are contraindicated with certain prescription drugs.  St. John’s Wort is a popular supplement that is said to treat depression and anxiety. 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is derived from an African plant, and is said to be an effective natural mood stabilizer. S-Adenosyl Methionine (SAM or SAM-e) replaces natural compounds mammals produce to stabilize moods. Green tea contains L-Theanine, a natural antidepressant. This may be taken in pill form or consumed as tea. Alcohol and drugs might alleviate the symptoms of depression in the short term, but they almost always make things worse after a while. To gain full control over your emotions, it’s best to cut them out entirely.  Alcohol is actually a depressant, and sometimes causes negative feelings to grow worse even while it is being consumed for pleasure. If you’re struggling with an addiction to alcohol or drugs, it’s important to get treatment right away. You won’t be able to lift yourself out of depression without outside help. Contact your local AA or NA group for more information. When you don’t feel you’re able to conquer your depression alone, know when it's time to seek outside help. Therapists are trained to help people develop new thought and behavior patterns to ease depression and prevent it from happening again. Your therapist will develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.  There’s strong evidence that talk therapy, particularly cognitive therapy that concentrates on changing negative thought patterns, can be an effective treatment for depression, either alone or when combined with drugs. Pastoral counseling and 12-step groups can also offer a place to talk out your feelings and get help with circumstances that accompany or are caused by depression.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Teach your child the vocabulary of cause and effect. Use the word “because. Explain why cause and effect relationships are important. Make a T map. Play cause and effect games. Read books. Create a timeline. Teach analytical thinking.

Answer: Explain that a cause is an event or action that makes something happen; an effect or consequence is a thing that happens as a result of that cause. As your child gets older, add additional vocabulary. Words like “influence,” “results,” and “factors,” for example, as well as words that will help with cause and effect sentence construction: “therefore,” “consequently,” “thus,” and others. ” Reinforce the relationship between causes and effects by using the word “because” in conversation; it makes for better understanding for many kids. So, for example, say, “Your shoes are dirty because you stepped in the mud,” or “The house is cold because we left the windows open.” As your child grows, you can point out that the principle of cause and effect is significant in a number of ways. We try to discover the causes of things that are bad so that we can eliminate them and make the world better; we try to discover the causes of things that are good so that we can apply them and maximize the results. Once your child starts school, it’s important to emphasize the academic uses of cause and effect. Scientists use it all the time (What is causing global warming? Why did these plants die? What will happen if we mix vinegar and baking soda?), and so do historians (Why did the American colonies revolt? What happened after Cortes conquered the Aztecs?). A T map is a simple table with two columns. On one side, you can write causes; on the other, you can write effects. For example, on the left side, write “It is raining.” Have your child brainstorm possible consequences: it gets muddy, flowers grow, the school has indoor recess, there are traffic jams. Write those on the right side of the table. You can also use T maps for individual cause and effect relationships to illustrate language. So, in this case, you would write “It is raining” at the top, instead of on the left. Then, on the left, you’d write, “It gets muddy because it is raining.” On the right, you’d write, “It is raining, so it gets muddy.” This method teaches the two main forms of stating cause and effect: the “because” form and the “so” form. It also reinforces the concept. One example is the cause and effect chain. Choose a consequence (say, “pants are dirty”). Then have your child think of a potential cause (for example, “I fell in the mud”). Then you (or another child), follows up by saying the cause of that consequence (“it was raining and slippery”). Continue as long as you can. This game will help your child develop his or her understanding of cause and effect. You can also play a simpler game where you offer an imaginary effect (say, “the dog barked loudly”) and have your child think of as many possible causes as he or she can. Examples might include “the dog barked loudly because the mailman came,” “the dog barked loudly because someone pulled on its tail,” or “the dog barked loudly because it saw another dog.” Look for themed picture books designed to tackle causes and consequences. Read them with your child, and talk about the situations presented in them. For older children, draw a timeline on paper. Choose a historic event, like a war, and mark its important moments on the timeline. Connect those moments based on cause and effect. As your child grows, his or her understanding of cause and effect will get better and better, and you can begin pushing for deeper, more analytical thinking. Ask why something occurred, and then follow up with “How do you know?” or “What’s your evidence?” Try asking “What if?” questions to engage your child’s imagination: “What if we accidentally used sugar instead of salt in this recipe?,” “What if the American colonies didn’t revolt?” Introduce the idea that correlation is not causation. If there is no evidence for a particular cause making a particular event happen, then it may be a random occurrence rather than a causal relationship.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create a paste with baking soda and vegetable oil. Cover the area beneath your cabinets. Apply the paste to the cabinets with your clean fingers. Scrub the paste to remove grease. Remove the paste and wipe the cabinets dry.

Answer:
In a small mixing bowl, combine two parts baking soda with one part vegetable oil. With your clean fingers or a kitchen utensil, mix the soda and oil until it forms a thick, well blended paste. Make enough paste to lightly coat all greasy surfaces of your cabinets.  As an example, if you plan on using 2 tbsp (30 ml) of oil, you’d need to use 4 tbsp (59 ml) of baking soda. Alternatively, you could substitute mineral oil in place of vegetable oil. Use the same amount of mineral oil as you would vegetable oil.  Test this paste on an out of sight spot on your cabinets. Some finishes may react negatively to baking soda’s mild abrasive properties. The cleaning paste should be quite thick. While cleaning your cabinets, it’s likely that some of this paste will fall onto the area beneath them, along with absorbed grease and grime. Lay out a cover, like newspaper, a drop cloth, or an old towel, under your cabinets to catch falling paste. Scoop up a small amount of the paste with your fingers. Gently rub the paste onto all dirty surfaces of the cabinet in a thin coat. Pay close attention to handles, where grease and buildup collect naturally. Use a non-abrasive sponge or soft, lint-free dishcloth to lightly scrub the paste on your cabinets. Work it into nooks, crannies, and cracks in the grain. For narrow spaces or detail cleaning, use a toothbrush. Cleanse your sponge or dishcloth by rinsing it in clean water. When clean, wring it out so it is damp. Wipe away any paste still on your cabinets with the sponge or cloth. Dry the surface of the cabinets with a soft, lint-free drying cloth. If any grease remains, spot clean it with leftover paste in the fashion described. When your cabinets are clean, remaining paste can be thrown away.
