Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Stay hydrated. Get proper nutrition. Get enough sleep.

Answer: Whatever level of work you are doing, it is important that you get the right amount of water before, during, and after your physical activity. If you aren’t properly hydrated, your body can’t perform properly, and you’ll feel fatigue, cramps, and dizziness, if not something worse like heat exhaustion or heat stroke.  The American Council on Exercise has recommendations for drinking water before, during, and after your exercise. Drink 17 to 20 fluid ounces (500 to 590 mL) of water 2 to 3 hours before you start, then 8 fluid ounces (240 mL) 20 to 30 minutes before or during warm-up. While exercising, drink 7 to 10 fluid ounces (210 to 300 mL) every 10 to 20 minutes. After finishing, make sure to drink 8 fluid ounces (240 mL) no more than 30 minutes later. If the weather is particularly hot, or the workout especially intense, feel free to increase the amount of water slightly. When working out, sports drinks can be helpful to maintaining hydration and energy. Look for drinks that are high in carbohydrates and electrolytes, as these will help you maintain your energy. Eating right will help give you the nutrients necessary to grow muscle and maintain your energy throughout practice or a game. A good athlete will also be able to vary his or her diet before and after exercising to derive the best benefits from food. The specifics of your diet will change depending on the kind of sport you play and how much training you do, so don’t be afraid to consult with a coach, nutritionist, or doctor to get the best diet for you.  Before you work out, you need to consume foods that will help give you the energy to get through. These can be simple meals with lean proteins like chicken, vegetables, and whole-grain rice. If you need something quick, look for easily digestible carbohydrates, such as half a banana or a carb-heavy energy bar.  After exercising, your goal should be recovery. You want more foods with protein and carbohydrates to help restore your energy. Foods like milk, which contain both, are particularly good. You can also consume things like trail mix with nuts or yogurt and granola to help the recovery process. Sleep can play a major role in consistent and strong athletic performance. Sleeping helps to regenerate your energy and strength after exercising, which lets you be at your best the next day for the next practice or game. Regular sleep will also keep your stress levels lower. This will help helping you remain calm and focused during competition.  8 hours of sleep is generally ideal, but you can always give yourself a little more or less depending on your personal needs and habits.  If you’re going through a period of increased training, or a tough stretch in your schedule, don’t be afraid to add a little more sleep to your routine. An extra nap during the day can give you a little extra boost of energy as you go along.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Comb through your child's hair. Use a fine-toothed lice comb. Trap lice. Place any lice you find in a small cup of isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Be vigilant. Wash your child's clothes and bedding.

Answer: It may be helpful to detangle hair with a brush or comb first. This process will be similar to wet-combing. If nits pose a problem to thorough combing, try soaking hair in a 3%-5% white vinegar bath prior to using the lice comb. You might be able to pin lice against the comb using your fingers, but tweezers may be more effective. Some experts say that manually removing lice as described above may be more effective (though also more time consuming) than over-the-counter lice treatments. Lice can survive in water, and may escape if not properly dealt with after combing. You should also soak the combs used to find and catch lice in rubbing alcohol for at least one hour. If you have found lice and/or nits and removed them with a comb or tweezers, it is important to repeat the procedure on a daily basis. Eggs may take several days to hatch, so it's important to continue treatment and removal, even if it seems like the problem is getting better. Some experts recommend nightly lice inspection and removal and continued monitoring for two to three weeks after the initial treatment.  While dry combing is an excellent way to detect lice, picking individual lice with tweezers can be a tiresome and time-consuming activity for both you and your child. Some experts recommend wet combing, as it allows you to quickly diagnose and partially treat the infection more efficiently.  If your child has a hard time sitting still for prolonged periods, try doing lice inspection/removal with a movie or TV show on. Television may provide a welcome distraction for your child while you look for and remove lice and nits. Even if your child doesn't show any signs or symptoms of a lice infection, if one of their friends has lice, it's best to take precautions.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Close the shades and drapes. Turn off the lights. Open upstairs registers and close downstairs registers. Move furniture from registers. Use floor fans. Get rid of the clutter.

Answer: Heat gets into the house from sunlight through the windows. Pulling down shades and drawing drapes helps block the sunlight. Think of the room like your car parked in a hot parking lot – forever. If you're interested, buy some quality heat-blocking shades for the windows. Wood shades or thicker, light-colored drapes will do the trick. They may not look very good, so add a curtain on top of the shades to cover them up if desired. If you're still rocking old school, high-wattage light bulbs, you've probably noticed how easily they heat up. And while it may seem insignificant, their power really does add up, especially if you have several. Turn them off and keep them off as much as possible. Desperately need lights? Look into energy-saving, dimmer bulbs that don't give off as much heat (and are better for the environment). LED lights are getting cheaper and cheaper, too. Opening upstairs cold air supply registers fully and all but closing downstairs air supply registers helps direct the cold air upstairs. You are literally rerouting the circulation of the air pushed out through your air conditioner. Be careful not to fully close all downstairs air supply registers. Enough air must go through the air conditioner in order to work efficiently. Rearrange furniture so that air supply registers are fully uncovered. Also remove blockages from air returns in all rooms. This ensures that good air circulation occurs in the upper floor. Take these items and move them to open walls. By placing things like bookshelves or tapestries against the walls, you can help keep cool from escaping. Floor fans help circulate air in a room, especially if placed well. They help prevent the cold air from settling near the floor of the upstairs rooms, whisking it up in an airy cycle. Place it in the corner where it can move the air across the room via an unobstructed path (tidy up a bit if need be). Then it can mix all the air, lowering the temperature. If you're in a spot, put a bowl of ice cubes in front of the fan and then let it blow. Immediate arctic wind, ready for deliver. With fewer objects in the room, air is allowed to flow, not get stale and stagnant, and get cooler. Tidy up the room, getting as much surface area in the open as possible. And now you can place your fan in the best possible place in the room, circulating the air around and around. A clear space can feel several degrees cooler.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Study a smile or laugh to see if it is genuine. Pay attention for changes in behavior. Identify signs of someone who wants power. Someone who is motivated by affiliation or contact with others, tends to have many friendships, and may serve as mediator between friends. Pick up on motivation for achievement.

Answer:
If the person’s mouth is upturned at the corners, but their eyes aren’t wrinkling, they are faking a smile. They may be trying to lie or they may be uncomfortable, or anxious. If someone keeps their arms and legs crossed and starts opening them or reaching out, that is a sign they are more comfortable with you. Also, if someone you are close to starts using a lot of new postures or expressions, they may be going through an emotional or physical change. This type of person will search for awards and leadership positions. They aim to win arguments and seek to manage or influence others. Watching behavior can show you a person’s motivation and helps to predict future actions. This type of person seeks acceptance from others. If a person sets high standards, likes to work individually and seeks a challenge, they are most likely motivated by a sense of personal achievement rather than power or affiliation.
