Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Roll out the dough. Pick up one end of the rope in each hand.

Answer: Use the palms of your hands to roll the dough into a long, thick strand, about 18 inches (45.7 cm) long and as thick as a cigar. Lift the pretzel stand off the counter, holding the ends about one foot away from each other. Your left hand should be slightly higher than your right.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Indulge in the right types of fat. Eat lean protein. Add in fresh fruits and vegetables at every meal. Choose whole-grain foods. Drink adequate amounts of water.

Answer: Studies have shown that eating the right types of fat, like monounsaturated fats, can help reduce belly or visceral fat by up to 20% over low-fat diets.  Monounsaturated fats are a type of fatty acid that has been linked to a decreased risk of heart disease, improved management of diabetes, and improved function of your blood vessels.  Although monounsaturated fats are considered healthy, they are still very calorie-dense.  Do not add these, in addition, to an unhealthy diet or in addition to unhealthy sources of fat.  These should replace those unhealthy sources of fat like trans or saturated fats. Monounsaturated fats are found in a variety of foods including olive oil, olives, nuts, seeds, nut butter, avocado, and canola oil. Ideas to try include:  replacing butter or lard with olive oil, grapeseed oil, or avocado oil. Lean sources of protein will help you stay satisfied longer throughout the day and help fuel your weight loss.  Make sure that you eat a source of lean protein at each meal.  Measure out a 3-4 oz (21-28 grams) serving to stay within your calorie limit.  Replace all fatty proteins like high-fat cheese, red meat, and sausage with leaner cuts of protein like chicken, turkey, fish, beans/lentils, eggs, low-fat dairy, and nuts. Make sure at least half of your plate is filled with produce.  These low-calorie foods are high in nutrients and can help you lose weight and reduce belly fat.  The best way to lose belly fat is through calorie reduction.  When you make half your plate a fruit or vegetable, the low-calorie nature of these foods helps lower the overall calorie content of your meals. Measure out 1 cup of vegetables, 2 cups of leafy greens, or 1/2 cup of fruit.  Include 1-2 servings at each meal. When you're trying to reduce belly fat and get rid of dangerous visceral fat, you'll need to choose 100% whole grain foods when you're eating bread, rice or pasta.  100% whole grains are significantly higher in fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals compared to more refined grains.  They are a much more nutritious choice.  Refined grains are those that are overly processed and their vital nutrients are removed.  Items like white bread, white rice, plain pasta, or crackers should be limited. Include a serving or two of 100% whole grains daily.  Measure out 1 oz or 1/2 cup (125 ml or 25-30 grams) of items like quinoa, brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, whole wheat bread or millet. Help keep your body feeling more satisfied and hydrated by drinking adequate amounts of water and other clear fluids each day.  It's typically recommended drinking at least 8 glasses of water daily.  However, even amounts up to 13 glasses per day have been recommended.  Water is essential for hydrating your body.  It plays a vital role in regulating your body temperature and blood pressure.  In addition, adequate hydration helps manage your appetite.  Plus, drinking a glass of water immediately prior to a meal can help you reduce your overall intake and support your weight loss.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Set up a spreadsheet to record data on. Divide work into small categories. Time each task. Time tasks using video.

Answer: You'll need a place to write what the task is, and a spreadsheet is ideal. Next to it, you'll need a place for the time. Often, tasks are done in batches. If that's the case, have a place to record the time for each component of each task. You'll just need a set of numbered boxes for this part. Also add a column for notes. For instance, if the task is checking email and one of the components is reading email, make a record of the time it takes to read each email in the numbered boxes next to the component. Part of performing a time and motion study is figuring out exactly how much time is spent on each task. Generally, the only way to improve efficiency is to look at the small actions within each task. As the work is being done, establish each component of the task and write a short description down.  The key is finding the right level of detail. You don't want to be overly detailed, as timing how long it takes to hit a single button isn't useful. However, you also don't want to be too broad, as that won't give you enough data to work on efficiency. Say you're checking email. You might break it down into logging on to the computer and into your email, deleting spam mail without opening, reading emails, composing replies, and organizing email into folders. Start with a stopwatch. Time each component of the task, jotting down the time it took to complete each component. It's often easier to just stop and start the timer, using the elapsed time. You can go in later and figure out how many seconds were spent on each task. For more accuracy, take data over multiple days. When you're using a video, you'll need to stop and start the video for each component you're timing. That way, you'll have time to write down your notes and the times for each component.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Identify hurricane or tornado shelters. Come up with an earthquake plan. Construct a long-lasting shelter. Learn how to survive nuclear fallout.

Answer:
No quickly constructed shelter will help you from winds at this strength. Instead, go to a basement, or failing that to a room near the center of a building with no windows. A shelter is usually not the best option for an earthquake, although you can prepare in other ways. Earthquake survival is based on two main strategies:  If the tremor is mild and there is a relatively open space outside (no tall buildings), walk to it through the nearest exit. Do not use elevators. If the tremor is violent or you cannot reach an open space safely, drop under or next to sturdy furniture and hold on. If you own a house and are committed to disaster preparation, dig out a basement or dig a bunker. Stock this with emergency supplies in case ordinary services are disrupted. You can also get a FRS or ham radio (you need a license though) for communication. An underground bunker is your best bet for protecting yourself from radioactive fallout. In general, the safest areas are indoors, with as many walls and thick furniture between you and the outdoors as possible. Insulating the walls with as much dense material as you can find will protect you further.Seal all vents using duct tape and try to close all doors.
