Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cut your hair in layers to help distribute the volume. Consider a classic pixie if you want something more edgy. Try a sculpted pixie cut if you want to bring dimension to your face. Try a TWA or teeny-weeny afro if you have natural or African hair.

Answer: When it comes to hair, different people have different ideas of what's "short" and what's "very short." If your idea of "very short" is something that's between pixie and bob-length, get some light layers to help distribute the volume--otherwise you might end up with a puff! If your hair is cropped short, you don't have to worry about layers. It doesn't need much volume control. For even better results, consider getting a graduated pixie, where it is a little longer on the top than on the sides. Don't go for a precise cut; leave it coarse and choppy. A sculpted pixie cut is similar to the classic pixie, except that it is cropped short on the sides and left longer at top. This is a great option for those who are transitioning from long-to-short hair (or vice versa), or for those who are treating their hair for heat damage. This is a versatile hairstyle that is easy to style and take care of. It is perfect for those with natural or African hair and is a great alternative to doing protective styles, such as cornrows.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine which possessions will be taxed. Find the tax or fee for each possession. Don't forget intangible possessions. Total your fees and taxes.

Answer: In addition to the "property tax" that most people are familiar with for homes and real estate, there can sometimes be other forms of property tax for other forms of property. These taxes on a person's possessions are called personal property taxes and are usually calculated differently than the home property taxes above. The exact properties that will be subject to tax vary greatly from state to state and locality to locality. You can usually learn which forms of property can be taxed from your local tax authority. For example, in California, the Board of Equalization provides online documents covering this topic. Unlike home property taxes, many personal property taxes are not dependent on the value of the item being taxed (though some are.) A great example of this are taxes on cars in the form of registration renewal/tab fees: no matter whether you drive a brand-new luxury sedan or an ancient pickup truck with 200,000 miles on it, you must pay the same amount of money to renew your license plate tabs and keep driving legally.  Many tax authorities will have information available online that can help you find your personal property taxes. For instance, this site lists car tax calculators for the states that offer them (scroll down to see the list.) For example, let's say that we want to buy a car in ABC County USA. Based on the state and local tax codes, we determine that we need to pay two expenses: a single one-time registration tax based on the value of the car and a recurring yearly fee to get our license tabs. If the car is worth $20,000 the registration tax rate is 1.5%, and the license tabs fee is $50, we'll owe 20,000 × 0.015 + 50 = 300 + 50 = $350. Personal property taxes aren't just applied to real, tangible property — they can also extend to things like stocks, bonds, mutual fund shares, and so on. While some forms of personal property tax (like the vehicle registration fee example above) are quite common, taxes on intangible property can vary greatly from state to state, so check your local tax authority for more information.  Sometimes, beneath a certain value, intangible property will be tax free. For instance, before 2007 in Florida, the first $250,000 of property (including most intangibles) was not subject to tax.  In our example, let's say that, in addition to our car, we also have $300,000 of trusts that are eligible to be taxed. If the first $200,000 is tax-free in our state and, after that, the tax is 50 cents per $100 (0.5%) we'll need to pay 100,000 × 0.005 = $500. Once you know all of your personal property tax liabilities, just add them up to determine the total amount of money that you owe. As mentioned above, these sorts of taxes can vary greatly from place to places, so what you pay may not be similar to what someone living somewhere else pays. In our example, if we don't have any other personal property tax liabilities besides our car and our trusts, we'll simply need to pay 350 + 500 = $850.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Stay balanced to swing with an average amount of power. Swing the driver at a steady speed. Adjust your hand grip to hit the ball straighter. Straighten your swing to avoid hooks and slices.

Answer: One of the most basic issues is trying to hammer the ball to hit it long distances. This ends up reducing your power because you aren’t swinging properly. Check your swing mechanics to ensure your feet and hands are balanced. Then, swing steadily without attempting to make power adjustments.  For example, make sure your feet are flat on the ground with your weight balanced between them. If your swing is too light, the ball won’t travel very far. Your hands and shoulders may be too loose. Remember, the goal is to swing the club smoothly and make contact, not smash the ball. You may lose a little distance at first, but consistency makes up for it over time. A lot of beginning golfers face a swing speed problem. They start a normal upswing, but rush the downswing. This interrupts the natural flow of your swing, so you hit weaker balls that tend to curve all over the golf course. Practice your swing until you can do it in a single, fluid motion.  Although the basic mechanics are the same, not all golfers have the same swing. You may need to experiment a little to find out what feels natural to you. A common problem is hesitating as you begin the downswing. Other golfers may tell you you’re swinging too fast when in reality the hesitation makes your swing look faster than it is. For a good swing, your grip strength needs to be equal across both hands. Keep a firm grip on the driver, but avoid squeezing it too hard. If your front hand grip is too strong, the ball will hook. If your back hand grip is too strong, the ball will slice.  A hook is when the ball curves inwards towards your body. This is right to left for right-handed golfers and left to right for left-handed golfers. A slice is when the ball curves away from your body, or left to right for right-handers and right to left for left-handers. If your grip strength is fine, your swing mechanics may be an issue. First of all, make sure your legs, hips, and shoulders are straight while swinging. Swing through the ball with a consistent speed, since slowing down or speeding up can cause hooks and slices, respectively.  Your club’s head should face upward as it snaps into the ball. Experiment with which part of the club’s head strikes the ball, since this affects the curve. Although you can adjust your aim to compensate for a curving ball, fixing your swing mechanics is a better long-term solution. If you are certain your swing is good, moving the tee forward or adjusting your distance to it can help.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Don't overtax yourself. Don't let your eating get out of control. Don't result to drugs or steroids.

Answer:
If you're looking to get big, working out should be a major part of your life. However, it shouldn't be the only part of your life. Pushing yourself too hard won't just leave you tired, unmotivated, and unhappy — if you don't get enough rest, it will also make it harder for you to put on muscle. Most important of all, several over-exercise can lead to several dangerous health conditions, including:  Pulled muscles, torn ligaments, etc. Joint pain Spinal problems Very rarely, heart attack, stroke, or aneurysm (if predisposed to these conditions.) Rhabdomyolysis (life-threatening; if you experience extreme muscle soreness and dark urine, contact a doctor immediately) When you start a muscle-building routine, the sudden spike in your energy levels may leave you with an increased appetite, so it may be tempting to simply "pig out" and eat whatever you want. Don't give in — you can increase your caloric intake somewhat, but increasing it too much will leave you with a big surplus of calories that your body will convert to fat. Over a long period of time, this can make you "big," though not in the sense you probably wanted, so try to keep your natural urge to eat more in check.  In general, you'll feel fullest if you stick to a diet of lean proteins, whole wheat grains, fruits, vegetables, and  healthy fats (as recommended above.) On the other hand, processed snacks won't usually "fill you up" in the long term. This means that sticking to a healthy, natural diet will usually keep you from overeating (though it's certainly possible to eat too much of foods that are healthy. To keep your eating under control, try using a calorie counting application like the one at MyFitnessPal.com. If you desperately want big muscles, it may be tempting at times to use certain illegal shortcuts to reach this goal. Resist this urge. Steroid and other illicit exercise aids may seem to get quick results, but they're not worth the associated health risks, which, depending on the drug, can be quite serious. For example, anabolic steroids are known to cause these health issues:  High blood pressure Increased risk of heart attack and stroke Liver disease Baldness Oily skin and acne (In men) lowered sperm count, infertility, shrunken testicles, enlarged breasts (In women) increased body hair, enlarged clitoris, deepened voice, shrunken breasts
