Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Layer a button up shirt over your dress for a relaxed look. Pair your dress with a chunky sweater that’s cinched with a belt. Layer scarves to change the neckline. Wear your favorite pair of sneakers or ballet flats to dress it down. Wear sandals for a spring or summer vibe. Skip jewelry if you’re going for a dressed down look.

Answer: Choose a button up that fits you loosely so it will fit comfortably over the top of your dress. Button your shirt make it look like you’re wearing a skirt under it, or leave it open to give a glimpse of your dress. As another option, tie the ends of the shirt for a twist.  Soft flannel is a great look for cold weather days. Additionally, it contrasts with the formality of a black dress. Denim is also a great option because it pairs well with the black. Choose a bulky sweater that’s a loose knit so it doesn’t hang too heavily on the dress. Then, put your sweater on over the dress and fasten a belt around the narrowest part of your waist. This will pull the sweater in and create an hourglass figure.  Choose a neutral color like tan, beige, or white for a classic look. For a twist, choose a brightly colored or patterned sweater. For instance, you could pick hot pink or leopard print to mix things up. If you’re slim, pick a thin or medium-sized belt. If you have a curvy figure, try a medium-sized or wide belt. Choose a long scarf or several scarves that share the same color palette. Then, loop or tie the scarves around your neck. This helps hide a low or dressy neckline to help create a casual look for daytime.  For instance, you might choose loose, neutral colored scarves for a classic look. If you want a pop of color, pick a bright scarf or a fun pattern. For instance, you might spice things up with a batik print or create a classic look with a polka-dot scarf. To go for an edgy or playful look, try something like a leopard or zebra print. Choose a fashion sneaker or walking shoe, like Keds or Converse. Alternatively, opt for a pair of ballet flats to keep your look classic. This will contrast with the formality of the LBD to make it work for a casual daytime look.  Keep things neutral with white or black sneakers or ballet flats. Alternatively, play around with color or pattern. For instance, wear your LBD with red Converse low tops or a pair of leopard print flats. Since your LBD is a neutral color, you can pair it with the craziest shoes in your collection, so play around. Choose simple straps for a beachy, dressed down look. Alternatively, pick a statement shoe like a gladiator sandal to add a little flair to your look. Opt for black or nude sandals to keep your outfit casual chic, or add a twist with a bright color or pattern. For instance, you might pick pale blue sandals for a beachy brunch or polka-dot espadrilles for a playful weekend vibe. It’s easy to over-accessorize your LBD, especially if you’re going for a casual look. Adding jewelry could undermine the casual elements in your outfit, so you may prefer to skip it. If you do wear anything, stick to simple earrings and maybe a bangle bracelet. If you’d prefer to dress it up a little, you could add a simple necklace or a thin choker. However, try to avoid gemstones since your dress is already a bit formal.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Participate in charitable auctions that are posted online. Purchase tour tickets for special charity events. Participate in contests that are posted online.

Answer: Go online to Pixar news sources, such as http://www.pixarpost.com/ and https://pixarplanet.com. These websites typically post about different charitable auction opportunities that happen from time to time. The purpose of these is to raise money for different organizations, such as the LA Food Bank or the Singing Stones School. Follow the directions on the website in order to place your bid, as you may get a tour if you have the highest one. While this is a good way to get a tour, it can be extremely expensive. Another way that Pixar uses charity fundraising to offer tours is by temporarily giving the public an opportunity to buy touring tickets, usually just before a film premier. Check out https://www.charitybuzz.com/ to see if any charity ticket opportunities have been posted. This is another pricey option. For example, tickets for a charity event in 2011 that included a black tie dinner, a screening, and an exclusive tour were $1,000 USD each. While it may be harder to get a tour by winning a contest, it’s a great option to pursue if you don’t have any personal connections and you also don’t want to spend a lot of money. Check out https://pixarplanet.com/blog/category/competition/ regularly to see what contests are posted. Contest entry requirements range in difficulty from answering a prompt with a short essay response to creating a trailer for a film. The prizes also vary, from special edition Blu-Ray disc sets to tours of the studio.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Feed the mother a quality diet. Separate her from the male rabbit. Prepare a nest box.

Answer: Your rabbit’s diet will not vary much while she is pregnant or weaning, but it is as important as ever to provide high-quality nutrition. Check your feed label and provide a feed that is:  16 to 18 percent protein 18 to 22 percent fiber 3 percent or less in fat She should also have constant access to clean water, which you should change two to three times per day. You can supplement her diet while she is gestating and weaning the kits (babies) by giving her some alfalfa hay or cubes to provide more protein. It is uncommon for the male rabbit to harm the kits. However, he can impregnate the female again as soon as she gives birth, resulting in another pregnancy before she finishes weaning the first litter. To avoid this, you should separate the two rabbits as birthing draws closer. Ideally, you should keep the male close enough to make contact with the female through their separate enclosures. Rabbits bond very closely and still being close to the male will cut down on unnecessary stress for the female during the pregnancy and birth. Kits are born without fur and will need constant warmth initially. Providing a nest box with bedding materials will help keep the kits warm and collected in one place. This small box (cardboard is fine) should be slightly larger than the mother with about a one-inch lip to stop the kits from getting away from the box.  Put a generous handful of grass (make sure no fertilizer or pesticides are present), straw, or hay in the box as well for bedding. Put the bedding on top of a clean towel  without any loose threads that might catch on the kits.  The female might rearrange the bedding in the box or even pull out some of her fur to add to the bedding, which is usually a sign that the birth is close.  Make sure you place the nesting box on the opposite side of the cage from the mother’s litter box to help avoid any complications for the kits. You should also place the cage in a quiet, darkened space. Too much activity around the mother and her new kits will cause her undue stress.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start cooking the day before Thanksgiving. Set your table. Buy some flowers. Clean your house.

Answer:
This is particularly important if you are planning on baking pie(s). This is also a good time to make sure you have all the supplies and ingredients you will need--turkeys and pumpkin pie filling will be hard to find once the holiday arrives! If you decide to cook everything the day of, make a plan as to what will go in the oven when. Most of the traditional Thanksgiving dishes get baked in the oven, so you will need to plan a coordinated attack. Find out which recipes take longer to cook and put them in first. While your guests won't be arriving until the next day, it is still extremely helpful to set your table the day before. Make your dining table as long as possible (time to break out that additional piece) or bring in an extra table if you simply can’t fit everyone at one table. Bring in all the chairs and place all the plates, napkins, cutlery, etc. on the table, spacing each setting out so that the guests won’t be bumping elbows every time they go to lift a delicious bite to their lips. If you happen to know which of your guests are right handed vs. left handed, keep that in mind when setting the table. Placing a rightie next to a leftie will result in two guests smacking their elbows together all dinner long. While this is not necessary, having flowers in the house is always a nice touch. Its important to buy them the day before your dinner because if you buy them before then, they might wilt. Pick out bouquets that are fall-themed for an extra lovely touch. No one likes to be invited to a messy house, so tidy up the day before and make sure everything you won't need for the dinner is stored away. If you are short on time and need help with cleaning, get a family member or hire a cleaning service to assist.
