Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look for a beaded or plastic rope. Jump on a waxed or wooden floor. Integrate the basic jump into a strength training circuit.

Answer: Plastic “speed” ropes are more durable than cotton ropes and whip around faster, which will create a more intense workout. They’re also good for doing advanced jump rope moves, like the single leg jump or the alternate foot jump. This will help to gradually prepare your lower body for the impact of jumping. Don’t jump on hard surfaces like concrete, as this can put stress on your knees and lead to injury. This will help you lose weight and get better at jumping rope. Try a 15 minute circuit, once a day, to burn fat and tone your body. You will need a jump rope, a timer, and an exercise mat.  Jump rope for 1 minute, with both feet together. Do 20 lunges, 10 per side. Jump rope for 1 minute. Do 10 pushups. Jump rope for 1 minute with both feet together. Do a 30-second plank. Jump rope for 1 minute. Rest for 10 seconds. Repeat this circuit one more time, with a one minute rest between each circuit.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take the new dog to its toilet area. Show the crate to the new dog. Keep the new dog isolated for the first 24 hours. Praise your dog. Take your new dog to the toilet area every few hours. Keep the crate available.

Answer: When you first arrive home, take the new dog straight to the place you want him to use as a toilet. This is the first step in house-training your dog. Bring the dog to his crate and place him inside. Leave the door open so that he can come out if he wants to. When you bring the dog home, introduce him steadily to new rooms in your house. Limit him to the first room for at least 24 hours, keeping him in that room with his crate open. Allow the new dog a bit of time to get used to his new surroundings. He will slowly get accustomed to new scents, such as the scents in your house and the scent of the established dog from the t-shirt in his crate. Do not give him the range of the house straight away. This will overwhelm him. Give your dog positive reinforcement by telling him that he’s a good dog. Give him a pet and scratch behind the ears. Make sure your new dog knows where to go when he needs to relieve himself. Take him to the toileting area every few hours during the first 24 hours. Ignore accidents today. The new dog may still need to be housetrained, and he will need to learn where to go. Take him out to his toilet area often. If he does have an accident, simply ignore the behavior. Punishing him will only confuse and distress him. After every toilet visit, take the new dog back to its crate. This will help him feel safe and he won’t get so overwhelmed.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create “distinctive cues” when you want to remember something. Connect memories to a specific place. Repeat the information immediately. Create a “memory palace. Avoid learning in high-stress situations. Get plenty of rest. Drink water.

Answer: You’re more likely to encode information it into long-term memory if it is associated with distinctive information that can serve as a “cue,” or starting place. Anything can serve as a cue, but actively relating new information to things you already remember is a good strategy.  For example, if you have a conversation with a friend at the coffee shop and she tells you about her upcoming birthday, try connecting the memory of the conversation to something you already remember well: “Melissa told me her birthday was on June 7. That’s just a week after my mom’s birthday.” These cues can also be sensory information. For example, smells can trigger vivid memories in many people, like the smell of baking cookies reminding you of days spent at your grandmother’s house. If the memory is possibly connected to a smell -- in this example, maybe the smell of coffee or cinnamon rolls from the coffee shop -- try stimulating your memory with a whiff of the familiar odor. Memory is strongly tied to the environmental contexts in which the information is originally learned. You can purposefully use this connection to help you encode information for retrieval later. For example, verbally connect the information you want to remember to the place: “When we met at that new coffee shop on Main Street, Melissa told me her birthday was on June 7.” If, like many people, you forget names almost as soon as you’ve been introduced to someone new, try verbally repeating that information as soon as you get it. Connecting it to as many cues as possible -- what they look like, what they were wearing, where you are -- will also help you remember it later. For example, if you’re at a party and a friend introduces you to someone named Masako, look directly at them as you smile, shake their hand, and say, “It’s nice to meet you, Masako. That shirt is such a pretty shade of blue!” Reinforcing all of this sensory information at once may help you encode the memory for later. ”  Memory palaces are a common mnemonic technique used to create connections between information and environmental contexts -- in this case, though, those contexts are all in your imagination. Even the famed (if fictional) detective Sherlock Holmes uses this technique! This technique takes some practice to perfect, but it can be very helpful for storing information that you want to remember because it emphasizes forming creative, even absurd connections between places and memories. This isn’t always an option, but if you can avoid learning new information under high-stress conditions -- for example, the wee hours of the morning before a huge exam -- your ability to recall those memories later will likely be improved. Sleep -- especially REM (“rapid-eye-movement”) sleep -- is crucial in processing, consolidating, and storing information. Sleep deprivation affects the firing of your neurons, making it harder to encode and retrieve information. Do something different, believe you are helping yourself and you will remember it.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn what the letter means. Learn what the numbers mean. Read an example code. Diagnose your vehicle. Reset your Check Engine Light.

Answer:
Each code will start with a letter which designates what system the code is referring to. There are several letters that you may see, though you may have to move to different menus to see them:   P - Powertrain. This covers the engine, transmission, fuel system, ignition, emissions, and more. This is the largest set of codes.  B - Body. This covers airbags, seat belts, power seating, and more.  C - Chassis. These codes cover ABS, brake fluid, axles, and more.  U - Undefined. These codes cover other aspects of the car. P0xxx, P2xxx, and P3xxx are all generic codes that apply to all makes and models. P1xxx codes are manufacturer specific, such as Honda, Ford, Toyota, etc. The second number tells you what subsystem the code refers to. For example, P07xx codes refer to the transmission. The last two digits are the specific problem that the code refers to. Check a code chart online for details on each specific code. P0301 indicates a misfire condition on cylinder #1. The P indicates it's a powertrain code, the 0 indicates that it is a generic or universal code. The 3 means the area or subsystem is an Ignition System code.  The 01 indicates it's a cylinder specific problem, in that there is a misfire condition in the number 1 cylinder. It could mean that the spark plug, plug wire or dedicated ignition coil are worn out or that there is a vacuum leak near the cylinder. A code does not tell you what component is defective; it only points to or indicates that a component, its circuit, or its wiring/vacuum control are malfunctioning. The code may be the symptom of a malfunction caused by a completely different system. The proper diagnosis of OBD-II codes takes years of training and practice. For example, a weak battery or worn out alternator can set five or more codes in systems that are perfectly normal. Before attempting repairs, understand that the codes alone will not tell you what parts need to be replaced or what repairs need to be made. If you are unsure of what you are doing, take your car to an ASE Certified Master Technician with the L1 Advanced Engine Performance Diagnostic certification, or you could end up wasting a lot of time and money. If you’ve made your repairs, or simply don’t want to see your Check Engine Light for a while, you can reset it using most OBD scanners. The light will turn off until the car has been driven a certain amount of time (this varies from manufacturer to manufacturer). You can reset the Check Engine Light from the main menu of most scanners. It is also referred to as a CEL.
