Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try not to panic. See if you need a second cut to make it look better. Realize that short hair can be pretty, too. Don't hide behind hats and scarves. Decide you're going to rock it.

Answer: It can be shocking to see yourself with short hair if you've been used to wearing it long. Whether something went wrong at the salon or you just don't like the cut you requested, it's hard to acknowledge that the long hair you just had is now gone. However, there are things you can do to appreciate your new style and maybe even come to love it.  Remember that your hair will grow back, slowly but surely, so if you really hate your new cut it's just a temporary problem. Try to enjoy your new hair care routine; you won't have to spend as much time on upkeep if your hair is shorter. If the hairdresser botched your cut, you might want to see someone else to make it look a little more stylish. Short haircuts can be amazingly chic, and there's no reason to go around feeling like your hair is a mess. You might have to go a little shorter to achieve a cut that looks good, so bear this in mind. Tell the second stylist you want a prettier shape, but that you want to keep as much length as possible. Long hair can be beautiful, but so can short hair. Try to take this opportunity to see how versatile your style can be. Short hair makes the eyes look bigger and frames the face in a way that causes heads to turn. You might even end up liking it better than your previous longer look. It's fine to cover up for the first few days, while you're still getting used to being a short-haired person. However, if you aren't a hat person and suddenly you start wearing hats all the time, other people will think you have something to cover up. It's better to just get used to your hair and stop trying to hide it. You'll feel better and look more confident. Once you've gotten used to your new look, it's time to actually make it work for you. Make it part of your overall style and wear it with pride instead of embarrassment. Decide you're going to pretend that this is the cut you wanted all along. If someone compliments your new haircut, don't say "Ugh, it's way too short." Instead, tell them, "Thanks! I wanted to try something different."


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get a diary. Format your diary. Look at other diaries as a model for your own.

Answer: Purchase a journal, notebook, or something similar from an office supply store. If you want, you can also create entry pages on a word processing program and print them off at home. Then, put the pages together in a binder to use as a diary. Use a diary that is long enough so you can track headaches for 2 to 3 months or more. If you intend to use one page per day, a 3-month diary will be 90 pages long. After you get your diary, go through and format it so it has separate columns and will be easy to use. This way, you’ll be able to input important information quick and easy. Some things you should consider when formatting include creating a space for:  Recording the date and time of the headache. In addition, leave a space to write how long the headache lasted and when it ended. A description of the headache, such as the location of where your head hurt and how badly (on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the worst) it hurt. Recording circumstances surrounding your headache, such as activities you engaged in and things you consumed (e.g., food, drinks, medication). Recording emotions you felt before the headache started (e.g., note if something happened to upset you), or strange phenomenon you noticed (e.g., lines or spots in your vision, etc.). Noting what helped your headache go away, such as taking a nap, applying a cold compress, or taking medication (note the type and dose). There are a wide variety of headache diary templates on the internet. Different templates emphasize different things, such as headache triggers, pain, or how medicine relieves pain. Spend some time looking at different templates so you can get an idea of what might be most helpful to you.  The National Prescribing Service has a template for a migraine diary.  Look at the National Headache Foundation’s template for a headache diary.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take your dog to the vet. Consider allergies. Ask about nausea. Determine if it is a neurological condition. Check for cognitive dysfunction.

Answer: If your dog begins excessive licking in old age, or at any time, you should take your dog to the vet. Excessive licking is a possible symptom for a number of different treatable medical conditions. Take your dog to the vet and explain when the licking first began, and what area of the body, or objects the dog is licking. Possible causes for licking include:  Allergies. Boredom. Dry Skin. Hormonal imbalance. Pain. Parasites. Some excessive licking among dogs is caused by allergies. For example, your dog may have an allergic reaction to their food or something they ate. They could also experience an allergic reaction to environmental triggers, such as pollen or mold in the air. Allergies in dogs typically result in a skin irritation, rather than sneezing or a runny nose, so licking can be a common indicator of an allergic response.  For example, your dog may begin licking their paws because they have been exposed to an allergen. Visit your vet in order to diagnose the problem and treat with antibiotics, steroids, anti-itch products, or by changing their food. Excessive licking, typically of the air, can also be a symptom of nausea, which can be associated with more serious illnesses in older dogs. Nausea can trigger the production of excess saliva, which will cause the dog to lick in an attempt to remove the buildup.  For example, diseases that cause gastrointestinal discomfort and nausea include: liver disease, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, inflamed bowels, and intestinal problems. Take your dog to the vet and have them run tests to determine if the licking is associated with nausea. Tests may include x-rays, abdominal ultrasounds, blood tests, skin allergy testing, or even endoscopy, if necessary. Excessive licking, primarily among older dogs, can be associated with neurological disorders. For instance, the licking could be associated with a brain tumor, epilepsy, or hydrocephalus. These conditions are more common in older dogs and can often be connected to the progressive nature of the condition. The licking may be a result of a neurological disorder if:  It is extremely difficult to interrupt the compulsive licking. If the dog seems disoriented while licking. Other symptoms such as seizures or circling are observed in context with the licking Problems including senility and dementia can also cause excess licking behaviors in dogs. Other indicators of cognitive dysfunction may include disorientation, irritability, decreased desire to play, inability to learn new tasks, decreased self-grooming, incontinence, and loss of appetite. Diagnosis of cognitive dysfunction should be made by a vet. They will go through the dog's history an current symptoms with you to see if this may be the cause of your dog's licking. While there is no cure for cognitive dysfunction, therapy, medication, and support can help your dog maintain a close-to-normal life and may help reduce some symptoms.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn the basics. Learn the lingo. Learn the difference between street craps and casino craps. Understand the legal issues.

Answer:
Regular street craps is played with two dice, which are used by a single player in each game, though the game can be played by any number of onlookers.  Players will first roll the dice to determine who will roll for that particular game, and then all the participants will place bets on whether or not the person rolling will "pass" on the first roll (by rolling a 7 or 11), or "crap out" (by rolling a 2, 3, or a 12). If one of those values is reached on the first roll, the game is over and the bets are distributed accordingly. The player shooting the dice is the first to bet and the other players must at least match his bet before the game can continue. If the bet cannot be matched, the shooter can either lower the bet to accommodate the other players, or handicap the odds. Once the shooter's bet has been matched, the other players may place side bets. You'll make the learning curve a lot shorter if you don't have to ask for clarification every time someone says something about the "come-out" or the point. Learn the basic vocab and you'll be rolling soon enough:   The shooter is the player who rolls the dice, and will be a different player for each game  The come out is the initial roll To pass is to roll a 7 or 11 on the come out roll To crap is to roll a 2, 3, or 12 on the come out roll  The point is any value between 4 and 10 rolled on the come out To seven out is to roll a seven before rolling the point In casino craps, obviously, the biggest difference is that you've got an elaborate table on which to place bets, as well as a banker controlling both the money and the action, and James Bond lookalikes are wandering around ordering elaborate drinks. In street craps, the betting is less formalized, and you're probably rolling dice against a brick wall, though the principles of the game are basically the same. Because no one is watching the action, make sure that the piles stay even throughout the game and the tokens or money are distributed fairly. Tempers can flare if you don't take the game seriously and keep it clean. Unregulated gambling like street craps is illegal in every state in the US and in many places elsewhere. There's nothing wrong with playing for fun, and it's unlikely anyone would hassle you over a low-stakes penny game among friends, but it's still important to know that gambling for money outside of a licensed and regulated casino is always illegal.
