Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Practice good hygiene Find your style.

Answer: . Taking showers regularly and keeping up on your appearance is the first step to showing the world you're interested in it.  Deodorant and toothpaste do great things for unwanted scents. Applying deodorant every day and brushing your teeth after each meal will ensure that you're always looking and feeling fresh and clean. Light make-up will enhance your best features. Make sure not to go too overboard; most men prefer a more natural look. Too much make-up says you're not beautiful without it--which clearly isn't true! Whatever you feel best in looks best on you. Whether it's dresses, t-shirts, or leather cowboy boots, your clothes are a symbol of you.  Don't try to fit in with a certain look. You want to attract guys that like you--not who you are trying to be. Dress for the occasion. It may be tempting to wear sweatpants to your cousin's bar mitzvah, but negative attention is not what you want.

Know that a QR code can be a noteworthy surprise. Figure out what information you want your QR code to link to. Know that you can analyze the QR code's performance.

Answer: Though QR codes do not guarantee you a job offer, they make life easier for the recruiter, employer or HR manager. Simplifying the process an employer must go through when accessing your resume and other relevant information takes you one step closer to getting a job. Furthermore, if the QR code is synced to the recruiter's Outlook folder, they will have all your information on their drive without even typing a word. The addition of a QR code to your resume lets you advertise your professional skills and abilities.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make any deck repairs beforehand. Remove all furniture and debris. Sweep your deck with a stiff-bristled broom. Hose down plants near your deck to protect them from chemicals. Pretreat mold before you wash the deck.

Answer: A clean, polished deck will look finished if all broken parts are replaced beforehand. Check your deck for insecure bannisters or split boards. Be on especial lookout for safety threats, like rusty screws or bolts, uneven board edges, splintering, and protruding screws, nails, or bolts. If you can, check the underside of your deck, too, to look for problems in your concrete pier blocks, joists, hangers, and deck boards. Cleaning solutions or pressure washers can damage your deck furniture, and excessive trash littering the deck will make washing ineffective. Bring any patio chairs, grills, flower pots, and any other items indoors or on the grass while you clean. Carry a trash bag with you, and  pick up any garbage or yard waste as you go. Check in-between plank slats for hard-to-reach debris. Start sweeping from one end of the deck and work your way to the other side. Break up the deck into small sections, and periodically sweep your dirt piles into a dustpan. Continue sweeping until you've cleared the entire deck of dirt, dust, and leaves.  You can also use a wet/dry shop vacuum with a bristle brush or small place attachment, if you have one available. Wash off your broom with dish soap and water beforehand to avoid adding excess dirt to your deck. Soap and cleaning solutions can damage your plants, but water can help soap slide off. Hose down your yard plants, especially fruit or vegetable plants. For added protection, drape plastic wrap or drop cloths over delicate plants.  Be sure you have adequate drainage away from your deck before you start to hose. Otherwise you could get water pooling under your deck, which may cause additional problems. After you've finished cleaning the deck, remove the plastic wrap immediately. Washing your deck can make moldy areas worse. Scrub moldy deck areas with specialized deck cleaner or bleach to remove the mold and kill spores. Spray your deck with water to remove residual bleach. Locate the source of the mold and pay particular attention to that area during treatment to more permanently remove mold.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Know what a healthy weight is for your body type. Figure out how many calories you need to eat and burn. Understand and track calorie intake. Plan to keep a log. Get support. Consult a physician.

Answer:
To determine what your healthy goal weight should be, use the body mass index (BMI), which can be used to predict risk for chronic diseases. BMI is a person's weight in kilograms (kg) divided by the square of the person's height in meters (m). Identify the weight you would like to be in kilograms and then divide that by your height in meters to see if it is healthy. You can also use a BMI calculator, such as the one on the NIH’s website: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm Increase or decrease that goal weight so that it fits within the BMI range considered healthy:  A BMI below 18.5 is considered underweight. A BMI of 18.5-24.9 is a normal or healthy weight. A BMI of 25-29.9 is considered overweight, while a BMI greater than 30 is considered obese. Along with finding a healthy weight, also realize what is realistic. If you are 100 lb away from your healthy body weight with only a month before summer, consider setting a smaller, more attainable goal. The more calories you cut back, the more weight you will lose; however, it is important that you do not eat less than your Basal Metabolic Rate, the amount of calories your body needs to function effectively when at rest. This number can be calculated using an online BMR calculator. In general, don't aim to lose more than one to two pounds per week. A loss of one to two pounds per week is a healthy rate at which to lose weight; any more than this could be too drastic a change and may signify that your body is not getting what it needs. To do this, try to eat 250 fewer calories per day and burn an extra 250 calories a day. This ratio will create enough of a calorie deficit that you should lose one pound per week. During the summertime, you are surrounded by opportunities to eat, whether it’s at a barbecue, pool party, ice cream party, or summer luau. However, if you want to lose weight over the summer, it's important that you cut back on the number of calories you eat. As a general rule, weight loss occurs when you burn more calories than you consume.  To help figure out how many calories you normally eat each day, track your food for a day by writing down the number of calories in everything you eat and drink. Calories are listed on the back of food labels. For foods that do not have labels, you can find information about the caloric value of certain foods online through the USDA Food Database.  Pay attention to the number of servings you eat and multiply this by the number of calories per serving. For example, if you ate 30 chips and a serving size is 15 chips, you need to multiply the number of calories by two since you ate two servings. Once you have figured out how many calories you normally eat, cut down this number by 500-1000 calories per day to lose weight. In this log, record what you eat and the type and duration of exercise you're doing every day. This is a simple yet very powerful tool to keep yourself accountable. The log will help you track your progress and see whether you are keeping to your healthy diet and exercise regimen.  This is a wonderful way to hold yourself accountable and stay on track. There are many apps for smart phones that have capabilities to track food intake, energy expenditure, water intake and more! Often, we tend to overlook the snacking we do between meals and instead think our diet is not working. Studies have shown that most people underestimate how much they eat by 25 percent.  In addition, many of us think we get more exercise and burn more calories than we do. Use the log to identify how many calories your exercise—whether it be a run on the treadmill or a spin on the bike—is burning. If you use cardio machines at a gym, the number of calories is usually digitally calculated and displayed. Make sure to put in your particulars, such as weight and age, to achieve an accurate count. There are also online charts that can help tell you how many calories a half hour or an hour of a given exercise burns. You might also discover useful information about your daily habits and a reality check about how many calories you actually consume and burn off through exercise. Once you know your habits and patterns better, you can begin to address problem behaviors that are hindering your progress. Find a partner—whether that be a spouse, friend, or family member—who wants to join you during outdoor activities, hit the gym with you, or join your healthy eating plan. Having social support will make it easier to lose weight because the other person will also keep you accountable and be a sounding board for any obstacles and struggles you face along the way. If you cannot find a friend or partner to help you with your weight loss journey, utilizing the services of a personal trainer or registered dietitian will keep you accountable and help you stay active and eat healthy. A trainer can also be a huge support system. Think outside of the box for your support system! Always consult your physician before beginning any type of weight loss and/or exercise program. You should also consult your physician throughout your weight loss program and keep him updated of any changes or symptoms you may be experiencing, such as constipation thanks to your new diet plan or lethargy due to not getting enough food. In addition, you should also talk to your doctor if you are eating well, tracking your calories and watching what you eat, exercising, and are still not losing weight. This could be indicative of a more serious underlying medical condition, such as a thyroid problem.
