Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Research your state's requirements. Know what the test entails. Study for the test. Sign up to take it at a testing center. Take the test on the designated date. Receive your score and GED certificate.

Answer: In most states you're eligible to get a GED, HiSET or TASC Credential if you're 16 or older and not enrolled in high school. Some states have different requirements, though, so it's important to look into this before getting started. Do an online search for your state + GED, HiSET or TASC requirements to find out more. The GED covers the same five basic subjects offered by high schools: writing, mathematics, social studies and history, science, and reading. The test is divided up as follows:  The writing section tests skills in grammar, vocabulary, spelling and capitalization, with a separate written essay section. The math section tests skills in arithmetic, measurement, basic algebra, geometry, number relations, trigonometry and data analysis of charts and graphs. The social studies section tests knowledge of geography, civics and government and economics. The science section tests knowledge of life science, physical science and earth science. The reading section tests proficiency in sentence structure, reading comprehension and language usage. The test is taken over the course of 7 hours and 45 minutes, with a portion of time allotted to each subject. In order to do well on such a big test, it's important to study the individual subjects beforehand. Plan to start studying at least 2 months in advance - longer if it has been years since you attended high school classes. It might seem overwhelming, but there are a lot of resources available to help you bone up before test day arrives.  You can buy a GED preparation book or use online resources to help you prepare. Make sure to take plenty of practice tests so you get used to the test format. Double down on any areas where your knowledge is weaker, and consider getting tutoring in that subject area. You can enroll in GED, HiSET or TASC preparation classes at any community college in NC for free, or hire a GED tutor to help you prepare. Find a testing center in a location that's convenient for you. Call the center or sign up online for a test date. The test itself is not available online - it must be taken in person at the test site. On the day of the test, show up a little early so you have time to find the right room and get settled in. Bring any materials you were requested to bring by the testing center. If you signed up to take an all-day test, make sure your schedule is cleared for the day. In some cases you can take the test in 2 parts.  Make sure you get a good night's sleep before the test. This makes a huge difference when it comes to concentration. You'll probably get a lunch break, but be sure to eat a hearty breakfast so you don't get distracted by hunger during the test. Follow the test administrator's instructions closely. Breaking any rules, even accidentally, could cause you to get disqualified from taking the test that day. After you take the test, you may either need to call your testing center after a designated amount of time, or you'll receive your score in the mail.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Eat a vegan or plant-based diet. Drink a plant-based protein shake after your workout. Drink lots of water. Cheat every once and a while.

Answer: After her daughter’s birth, Beyoncé completed a 22-day vegan challenge created by her personal trainer to kickstart her fitness journey. Though she’s back to eating a generally plant-based diet, she recommends trying this challenge to increase your energy level and metabolism.  Some breakfast options includes whole-grain toast spread with avocado and red pepper flakes or some homemade granola and a green smoothie. Beyonce generally just eats a salad for lunch, so try a large green salad.  Some light dinner options include quinoa and beans or stewed lentils. Beyoncé’s trainer gives her a shake with plenty of plant-based proteins after workouts to replenish her energy and help her muscles recover. Try drinking a smoothie made of pea protein powder, almond milk, frozen fruit and spinach after your workouts to get the same effect. To keep her skin glowing and her energy level up, Beyoncé drinks a lot of water. The recommended amount is half your body weight in ounces, so use that number as a starting point and add several more cups if you work out or do any strenuous activities during the day. If drinking cup after cup of water feels tedious, try infusing your water with some sliced fruit or mint leaves to switch it up a bit. Although she keeps a strict diet for the rest of the week, Beyoncé gives herself a cheat day every Sunday to eat the food that she wants. Don’t be too strict about your diet—make sure to cut yourself some slack and eat the foods you want in moderation.  If you have a craving, you can fully satisfy it by splurging with one meal and enjoying it with all of your senses. Taking small bites and being mindful of the experience will make the splurge even more satisfying and help curb further cravings.  As long as you keep your portions reasonable, you’ll be able to splurge once in a while and still maintain a healthy physique. For example, a bite or two of dark chocolate can satisfy a craving for something sweet.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be prepared to do extra work, not simply swap your existing work for new work. Think about who else you might bring on board to either help you expand your role or support you generally.

Answer: As earlier mentioned, it is probable (and indeed desirable initially) that you will need to devote some personal time to the gap problems beyond your normal job. Provided this doesn't go on for a long time, it will usually be helpful for you to do a few extra hours here and there during the work week to prove that these new tasks are of benefit to the company. A small sacrifice initially may help to persuade your supervisor and other relevant persons that your new activities are of great benefit to all. If other people can confirm that what you're doing is needed, essential, and useful, then you're more likely to get managerial buy-in. Get testimonies from coworkers as to how they consider your changes are improving their productivity and outcomes; this will help you to build a case for a permanent role change.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create a new shortcut on your desktop. Enter the shutdown command. Adjust the shutdown timer. Type a name for the shortcut. Change the icon. Double-click the shortcut to initiate shutdown.

Answer:
Right-click on your desktop. Hover the cursor over "New" and click "Shortcut" on the next menu that appears. Copy and paste the following into the text field:  shutdown.exe -s To create a restart shortcut, replace "-s" with "-r" ("shutdown.exe -r"). Without changing any settings, the shutdown shortcut will shut down the computer after 30 seconds. To change the timer, add "-t XXX" to the end of the command. XXX represents the number of seconds delay you want prior to shutdown. For example: shutdown.exe -s -t 45 will create a shortcut that shuts down after 45 seconds. To add a "goodbye" message, type -c "your message" (including the quotation marks) at the end. Click "Finish" when done. If you’d rather have a custom icon instead of the default Program icon that Windows assigns, right-click the shortcut and choose "Properties". In the Shortcut tab, click the Change Icon button. Choose an appropriate icon and then press OK to confirm. You'll see a window counting down and your message will be shown. Once the timer runs out, all your programs will start to close and Windows will shut down.
