Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask doctors and lab practitioners to explain lab test requirements. Expect to feel hungry and thirsty. Schedule your medical test for the morning.

Answer: Cholesterol and blood sugar tests require fasting from food and drinks. Water is typically allowed. The period of fasting may be 12 hours prior to the test, or as otherwise noted. Fasting for a medical test causes hunger and slight dehydration. This is especially true if you last ate before bedtime and your test appointment is scheduled during late afternoon the next day. Taking your test first thing in the morning limits discomfort because you can sleep for the majority of the fasting hours.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check the length of the cat’s fur. Look for a large cat. Touch the cat. Check the cat’s miscellaneous body characteristics. Look for large eyes. Look for a long growing cycle.

Answer: Maine Coons have a long, shaggy coat.  The fur is not thick, but it is plentiful.  Its paws, tails, and ears are covered in fluffy tufts of fur.  The fur on the cat’s back should be shorter toward the front of the cat and longer toward its rear.  Fur on the cat’s sides, likewise, should gradually get longer from front to back. The brown tabby pattern is the most common color pattern for Maine Coons.  However, Maine Coons are available in 75 different color combinations. Maine Coons are the largest of all cat breeds.  They have a sturdy and rugged look about them.  Some people have even likened them to small bobcats.  If you have a cat that seems unusually large, it might be a Maine Coon.  Male Maine Coons tend to weight 15-25 pounds.  Females tend to weigh 10-15 pounds.  If your cat falls within these weight ranges, you just might have a Maine Coon. Males are usually 10-16 inches (25-41 centimeters) tall and 40 inches (101 centimeters) long.  Females tend to be 8-14 inches tall and around 40 inches (101 centimeters) long.  Use a yardstick or tape measure to obtain your cat’s length and height. Maine Coons have an oily, fluffy coat that they’ve developed to protect themselves from harsh winter conditions. Maine coons have big, fluffy tails that they use to keep themselves warm when they’re resting.  The fur should be fine.  Their bodies are firm and muscular. Maine Coons have muscular legs that are medium in length.  The legs should be proportional to the body. The body must be long, not compact. Maine Coons have tails that are wide at the base, then narrow gradually. Try reaching the cat's shoulder with its tail. If you can reach or almost reach the shoulder, the tail is correct length to suggest it might be a Maine Coon. The tail should have long, flowing fur.  Finally, look for tapered ears.  The two ears of the Maine Coon are wide at the base and taper to a point.  They will be positioned relatively close together, with no more than one ear’s width between them.  The ears will have tufts of fur growing inside them. Most of the European-type cats will also have lynx-like tufts of fur on the points of their ears. The cat will wrap its tail around itself to stay warm in cold weather. The tail is fluffy and quite long. The Maine Coon’s eyes are slightly oblique (slanted), not perfectly round.  They are typically green or gold, though they might be blue, too. Most cats reach their full size when they are nine to 12 months old.  Maine Coons, however tend to grow for at least two years.  Some have been known to grow for four years.  If you’ve a cat that just seems to keep growing, it might be a Maine Coon.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Practice good posture. Smile. Move with purpose. Open yourself up to people.

Answer: Stand up straight whether you’re walking, standing or sitting. Pull your shoulders back slightly to expand your chest and hold your chin up high. Good posture alone can speak volumes for confidence, and you’ll be putting off the appearance of coolness whether people consciously notice or not. Posture is one of the core elements of body language, and it’s one that stands out the most. Your posture is a reflection of the way you feel about yourself, and can betray a lack of confidence, even if you’re well dressed and smiling. No matter what you’re doing, smile. Smiling not only shows that you’re comfortable doing what you’re doing, it sends the message to others that you’re comfortable around them and that they should be comfortable with you in turn. Don’t ham it up. A small, pleasant angling of the mouth and a brightening of the eyes is all it takes to announce to people that you’re a nice guy who knows how to have a good time… and maybe even has a little mystery about him. Smiling has also been linked to heightened levels of physical attraction, so you’ll be doing yourself an added favor by displaying a friendly exterior. This is a physical extension of being comfortable with yourself and has to do with the way you move around and deal with your environment. Keep your movements smooth and deliberate, and avoid any wasted motion. You should strive to always be composed and carry yourself with ease. This tells people that you’re in complete control over yourself and your surroundings.  If you don’t learn to move economically, your movements will look clumsy and uncoordinated, which can act as a sign of incompetence. Don’t gesture wildly when talking to people, as this can be off-putting during conversation. At the same time, don’t stand there inanimate like you’re too timid to move. Try to strike the right balance. When standing or talking with someone, “open” yourself to them physically by keeping your body facing them directly. Look at who you’re speaking to and maintain eye contact. You’ll be much more approachable and inviting than you would appear if you were unwittingly closing the people around you off by having your body turned away from them, diverting your eyeline when they’re talking, etc. Try not to cross your arms, fidget or tug at your clothing absent-mindedly. In addition to being examples of “closed” body language, it make look like you don’t know what to do with them.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Dig a hole.

Answer:
The size of hole will depend on whether you’re planting plants or seeds. If you’re planting a mum plant, the hole should be at least twice as big as the rootball of the plant. If you’re planting seeds, you'll need a few holes about the size of a pencil, which you can easily make with your fingers.  If you're transplanting mums from a plastic pot to the soil, the hole you dig should be the same depth as the pot they came in. So if the pot is six inches tall, plant your mums in a hole six inches deep. Space the holes about 18 to 24 inches (45 to 50 cm) apart to make sure the flowers have room to grow without getting tangled up. The number of holes you need will depend on how many plants or packets of seeds you buy, and how much space you have. You'll be placing 5 to 6 seeds per hole.
