Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Apply aloe vera to your face. Apply yogurt to your face. Rub cucumbers on your face.

Answer: The aloe vera plant has many therapeutic properties, including treating burns, cuts, and infections. It is also effective on oily skin and acne.  Cut an aloe leaf in half and squeeze out the gel. Apply the gel evenly over your face. Allow the gel to dry. After it dries, rinse it off with cool water. This can be repeated two or three times a day. Yogurt helps open up pores, exfoliate the skin, and absorb excess oil.  Take one tablespoon of plain yogurt and spread it evenly over your face. Leave the yogurt on for 15 minutes, then rinse off with cold water. Repeat once a day. Cucumbers are often applied during facials and spa treatments because of their soothing properties. They contain vitamins and minerals that can help fight swelling, redness, and excess oil.  Slice up a fresh cucumber and rub the slices on your face. Leave this on your face overnight, rinsing with warm water in the morning. Repeat daily.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be wary of nerve malfunctions. Watch out for muscle strain. Avoid dehydration. Pay attention to any blood conditions. Be careful about leaning at the waist. Be conscientious about proper hip extension.

Answer: Medical problems such as spinal cord injury or a pinched nerve in the back or neck could cause malfunctioning of the affected nerves and lead to the development of muscle cramps. Overworking certain muscles can result in a loss of energy in the muscles. When this happens, the overworked muscle suddenly contracts, leading to a muscle cramp. This frequently happens in sports like running, where the same muscles are used repeatedly. A lack of adequate hydration can result in a fluid and electrolyte imbalance that is more likely to provoke muscle cramping. Muscles require an adequate blood supply in order to function properly. Therefore, any underlying blood conditions that interfere with the supply of blood to the muscles can lead to muscle cramping. When a person gets tired, the normal response is to lean to the side, with a hand on your waist. Holding this position for prolonged periods can strain the core muscles. It puts the abdominal muscles in a vulnerable position which can lead to muscle cramps. Proper hip extension while running involves placing the upper thigh and leg backwards when the foot hits the ground. This gives more power and speed to your running. However, if the hips are not extended properly, it puts strain on the calf and quad muscles, leading to cramps.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine which card to close. Make sure to close the cards with higher interest rates. Find out how long the account information from this card will be on your credit report. Figure out what closing this card will do to your credit score. Think about your timing.

Answer: Think about why you are considering closing the credit card. It may have higher fees than other cards, be specific to a store you don't shop at any more, or may be simply go unused. Whatever the reason, make sure that you want to close this card. Closing a credit card account can be a somewhat trying process and can have a temporary, negative effect on your credit score, so don't take these decisions lightly.  Also be sure not to close all of your credit cards. In theory, this would limit your ability to go into debt, but certain situations call for immediately available credit. You will want to have a sound financial plan, and a large emergency fund in place to avoid debt and high-interest loans. You don't want to have to take out a high-interest loan when you could have used your card. If you are looking to narrow down your credit card collection, close those cards with higher interest rates first. It makes sense to keep those cards with good benefits, but paying exorbitant interest rates when you have the choice not to is a bad idea. The same is true of credit cards with high fees. Identify these cards and cut them out first. Even when a credit card has been closed, the account information will remain on your credit report for quite some time after. Due to specific credit reporting laws, a credit card account in good standing (paid at least minimum amount, no missed payments, etc.) will stay on your report for ten years, while a negative report will stay for seven years. Closing a credit card account can affect your credit score in a number of ways. The effects of doing so are generally not seriously harmful to a person's credit; however, they can cause a brief decrease in your credit score in some cases. Keep in mind that closing a card will never improve your score. Closing a card can affect your score in the following ways:  Reducing your account variation. Credit agencies use a metric that measures how many credit sources you have and their variety (mortgage, car loan, credit card, etc.). Closing a credit card has the potential to decrease this measurement. Reducing the average account age. Another measurement used by credit agencies measures how long you have held certain accounts. If you choose to close an older credit card, the average age of your accounts may decrease, causing a dip in your credit score. Reducing your credit utilization rate. Finally, reporting agencies use a metric called "credit utilization rate" that measures how much credit you have vs. how much you use. A lower rate is favorable, but closing a card may significantly increase it. This is a very important factor in determining your credit score, so think about the effect this might have. As previously mentioned, closing a credit card can lead to temporary dip in your credit score. If you planning to make a large purchase, like a car or house, in the near term, think about waiting to close your credit card after you make that purchase. Your temporarily-lower credit score could make your large purchase even more expensive by securing you a higher interest rate on the loan.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask to get a scratch-resistant coating on your lenses. Go for glass over plastic. Consider switching to contacts.

Answer:
When filling a glasses prescription, ask your doctor about scratch-resistant coating. While this won't protect against all possible damages, it will make scratches less likely to occur during day-to-day wear. Glass has gone somewhat out of fashion in recent years; however, glass lenses are less likely to accrue scratches than plastic.  Glass is a harder than plastic as a surface. Plastic lenses are softer and more likely to scratch in response to day-to-day wear and tear.  When purchasing your next pair of glasses, ask for a glass lens over a plastic one.  The disadvantages of glass lenses are that they are heavier than plastic lenses and the lens can shatter if hit with a projectile. If you're worried about scratching eyeglasses, consider switching to contact lenses. Contact lenses are easier and cheaper to replace in the event of damage. Ask your eye doctor about switching to contact lenses if you want to avoid scratches and other damages.  Contacts can provide greater peripheral vision and do not need to be removed as often during day-to-day activity. Contacts might not be a great option for you if you're forgetful. It can be harmful to leave contacts in overnight for too many nights on end. If you're squeamish about putting things in your eyes, contacts might be tricky. Many people switch back and forth between contacts and glasses depending on their comfort.
