Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Calculate your waist-to-hip ratio. Continue taking your measurements as you progress. Weigh yourself at the same time each day.

Answer: Your waist-to-hip ratio — or the circumference of your waist divided by the circumference of your hips — can be a good indicator of whether you need to lose belly fat. Here's how to get it:  Wrap a soft tape measure around the thinnest part of your waist at the level of your navel.  Note the measurement. Wrap the tape measure around the widest part of your hips, where you can feel a bony protrusion about 1/3 of the way from the top of the hipbone. Note the measurement. Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. Know what's healthy.  Women should have a ratio of 0.8 or below; men should be at 0.9 or lower. After incorporating some of the above strategies, keep measuring so you can see your progress. The way bodies distribute fat is largely beyond control and can be dependent on several factors (genetics, menopause, etc.). What is within your control is your level of body fat overall — if you keep that low, it won't really matter where the fat goes, as there won't be much fat in the first place. Because body weight fluctuates depending on the time of day, when you last ate or when you last had a bowel movement, standardize the process by weighing yourself at the same time each day. Many people choose to do this the first thing in the morning, before breakfast.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Melt the chocolate. Insert sticks into the cake balls. Dip the cake balls. Repeat with the rest.

Answer: You can either use a microwave-safe bowl or create a double boiler. Stir the chocolate to make sure everything is melted evenly. Prick them in the center, just enough to pick them up from the parchment paper and hold.  If you're wanting to present the cake balls on a stick, it's recommended to use lollipop sticks, which can be found in specialty baking aisles. Dip about 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) of the stick into the melted chocolate prior to inserting them into the cake balls. If you're wanting to present the cake balls in decorative individual wrappers, poke them with toothpicks. While holding the lollipop stick or toothpick, submerge the cake ball into the melted chocolate. When lifting it back up, gently lift them in a swirling motion or give them a gentle shake. If you are using toothpicks, remove them from the balls. Add a very small amount of extra melted chocolate to cover the holes. You can use the back of a spoon to evenly spread out any extra coating as well. Place the chocolate covered cake ball in the same place on the waxed paper. Pick up the next one and repeat the dipping until everything is covered.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Recognize that their view on the world is different. Understand that disinterest is not personal. Be aware of missed social cues. Take into account that autistic children may not know how to get involved. Be patient with limited verbal skills.

Answer: Autistic people simply do not interpret the world the same way that non-autistic people do. When they struggle to interpret things, it can be challenging to talk, listen, and understand. However, autistic people bring a unique and important perspective to the world. For example, some may struggle to understand spoken messages, and prefer to communicate through writing. Their mastery of the written word may later lead to fascinating novels or deeply insightful articles that make the world a happier and better-informed place. Autistic children tend to focus on their passions, and have less interest in other conversation topics. This is not out of dislike of you, but of lack of engagement with the particular topic. On the extreme end of things, some children may have no interest in the topic whatsoever. Get used to their listening body language. Some autistic people may stare in a different direction, fidget, or be completely silent while they pay attention. It may be that they are actually interested; they just show it differently. Autistic people may not understand that they're being rude, realize that you're feeling sad, or even figure out that you want to talk to them. If you believe that they've missed something, tell them directly what it is, and help them act on that information. Although they may want to participate in an activity, it's not uncommon for an autistic child to lack the social skills necessary to join in. They may need coaching on things like starting conversations. They are social in their own way, but you may need to find out how to include them more effectively. This does not mean that they can't learn; in fact, many autistic people are sharp and adaptable learners. It's just a matter of you learning how to speak their language. During this process, you need to remember that their needs are unique and not treat them dismissively.  Children with speech delays can benefit from Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) at as young as 18 months. This can help them communicate more easily, and may bridge the gap while they learn to speak. Some autistic people struggle to find the words they want to say. Be patient and ask questions to help figure out what they truly mean.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Practice with light weights first.

Answer:
Using the wrong form or overexerting yourself can cause knee injury, spinal compression, and back injury. Always practice the proper technique for each exercise with light weights first. Move on to a more challenging weight only when you have perfected the proper form.
