Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Walk or run on a treadmill. Try using an elliptical machine. Exercise on a stationary bike. Work out on a rowing machine.

Answer: Treadmills are available at most gyms, and they're a convenient way to get some cardio exercise in and burn calories. Many treadmills let you adjust the speed and incline that you want to work out with, so it's a good choice regardless of your fitness level.  You can burn around 125 calories per 1 mile (1.6 km) walking briskly on a treadmill if you weigh 150 pounds (68 kg).  Using a treadmill can be hard on the knees, so you may want to use a different cardio machine if you suffer from knee pain or have a knee injury. Working out on an elliptical is also a good calorie-burning cardio exercise, and like a treadmill, you can usually adjust your intensity level. Ellipticals are popular exercise machines, so you shouldn't have a hard time finding one at your gym. You can burn 170-320 calories in 30 minutes on an elliptical, depending on your weight and the level of intensity you're working out at. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds (91 kg), you could burn 286 calories by working out on an elliptical at a high intensity for 30 minutes. Pedaling on a stationary bike at moderate intensity for 30 minutes can help you burn 200-700 calories, depending on your weight. It's also a great choice if you have knee problems since most of your body weight is being supported by the machine.  For example, if you weigh 150 pounds (68 kg), you could burn 250 calories by exercising on a stationary bike with moderate intensity for 30 minutes. If you're new to exercising, you can start out pedaling on a light intensity setting and then gradually increase your intensity level as you improve. Rowing is a great, full-body cardio exercise that won't place a lot of stress on your joints. On a rowing machine, you can burn calories while working out your arms, legs, and core. Start out on a low-intensity setting and progress slowly so you don't hurt your back. Depending on your weight, you can burn around 400-700 calories by spending 1 hour on a rowing machine. For example, if you weigh 240 pounds (110 kg), you could burn 650 calories by working out on a rowing machine with moderate intensity for 1 hour.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Limit your sun exposure. Take stock of your medications. Watch out for professional skin treatments. Keep your hands off your face.

Answer: Exposure to UV rays is one of the most common causes of dark spots. No matter what kind of dark spots you have, staying out in the sun too long can make the problem worse. As far as prevention goes, staying away from these harmful rays is the best thing you can do to protect yourself. Take the following measures to keep your skin safe from too much exposure to UV rays:  Wear sunscreen. Even in the winter, wear sunscreen on your face with SPF 15 or higher. In strong, direct sun, wear a hat and sunglasses. Cover the rest of your face with strong sunscreen. Don't use tanning beds. The direct exposure to UV rays is harmful to your skin (as well as internal organs). Don't sunbathe. When your tan fads, dark spots will be left behind. If you have melasma that's caused by medications you're on, you might be able to get rid of dark spots by switching to a different medication. Talk with your doctor to discuss your concerns and see if there's something else you could take that doesn't have this side effect. Hyperpigmentation can result from a skin treatment that wasn't properly administered. Plastic surgery or deep chemical peels can end up leaving dark spots behind. Before you get any kind of skin treatment, do thorough research to make sure the technician or physician has plenty of experience in the area and a good track record. Whenever you find a pimple on your face, do not try to press, rub or touch it. The more you touch a pimple, the more are the chances of developing a dark spot. Remember, dark spots arise as pimples vanish!


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand the Virtual DJ that aims to replace physical turntables. Know if your computer meets the minimum system requirements. Download the software from the Virtual DJ Download Center. Subscribe to Virtual DJ to stream songs to your computer instantly.

Answer: In the same way that the CD players used by DJs have more options than a regular Hi-Fi CD player, VirtualDJ has more options than a media player like iTunes. It lets you "mix" your songs by playing two or more tracks at the same time. You can adjust their speed so that their tempo will match, apply effects like loops or scratches, and crossfade from one side to the other. While Virtual DJ is an expansive, useful software, many professional DJs like having the physical controls of turntables as well. Virtual DJ is not an big program, but it will need a little computing power to mix and match your songs. You can see a complete list of recommended computer specs here, but the minimum requirements are pretty easy to meet:  Windows XP or Mac iOS 10.7. 512 (Windows) or 1024 (Mac) MB RAM 20-30 MB free hard drive space. DirectX or CoreAudio compatible sound car (usually standard). An Intel processor. Follow the on-screen installation guide to install the software onto your computer. You can find the software for free on the Virtual Dj website.  Virtual DJ 8 requires a fast computer that is closer to the "Recommended" specifications, because it is newer and has more features. Virtual DJ 7, however, was updated and improved for 18 years, and runs smoothly on almost any computer. If you meet all of the requirements for installation but cannot access the Virtual DJ website, you can also download it through a mirror link. If you're actively DJing than this is an invaluable feature. Any song that is missing from your library, from an audience request to a song you don't happen to own, will be seamlessly integrated into your set. It costs $10 a month to subscribe, $299 for a one-time payment. In order to connect Virtual DJ to physical DJ equipment, you must pay a one-time licensing fee of $50.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Throw out a celebrity's name. Become their friend. Flatter them with comments on their style. Create a sense of urgency. Close the sale.

Answer:
Many humans are pretty basic when it comes to the art of persuasion. We all want to be fashionable, cool, and look good. If you say that Kobe Bryant or Kim Kardashian, for example, wears these exact brand of shoes, there's is a chance that that will perk up their interest. We often look to celebrities for cues on what's trendy, and this is the perfect time to put this factor to good use. That being said, for some people this can backfire. Try your best to read the customer. If they dress and act like they value being their own individual, you might want to stay away from the celebrities. Some people hear "Kim Kardashian" and they want to run in the opposite direction. We've all had experiences with salespeople that are sallow, unfriendly, and just don't seem to want to get a sale. What do we, as the customer, do in that situation? Leave, generally. To get that sale, be friendly and personable. Talk about your own shoe woes if it's fitting. Make yourself a person that knows a lot about shoes and has plenty of experience that just so happens to be selling them, too. If you are friendly and open, they will likely trust you more – and return in the future. Customers need to be judged on their lifetime value, not the value of their current purchase. A high-roller that comes in spending $1,000 on one pair of shoes one time is less valuable than a lower-class customer that spends $50 on shoes once a month for the next few years. Keep this in mind when choosing which clients to gush over – it's not as obvious as it seems. When they're debating between which shoes to buy (or if to buy at all), keep throwing out the compliments (so long as they're believable, of course). If they're wearing fancy shoes, they are dressing to impress. Flatter them by saying, "I can tell that you are very classy," etc. If they're wearing Nikes, they are probably a casual or sporty kind of person. No matter what they are wearing, praise them. Let them know they should trust their buying choices.  Praise how the shoes look on, too. That is, if they look good. If they're trying on multiple pairs, let them know which one looks best on them and why. Don't be ridiculous. If you have customer that clearly just rolled out of bed, don't compliment them on their hair and makeup. Talk to them about a shoe that compliments their hectic schedule and lather on the flattery when it slips on their foot. They look like they're getting ready for the red carpet know, don't they? If you get a customer that seems to be dilly-dallying, you can try giving them a cause to buy and buy now. Either this special discounted price is going to be gone shortly or the shoe itself is about to be gone from the shelves. They can't wait – if they do, it'll be gone. Try the "out of stock" trick. If you can see they are looking at a particular shoe, tell them you'll see if you have any more in stock. Go in the back, wait a few minutes, and come out triumphant! Tell the customer this is the "last" in stock and they are so lucky! When you close the sale, remember to thank your customer for their business. Give them a business card, let them know about any upcoming promotions, and tell them that if they have any problems at all, they should come back and you can work something out to make sure they're happy. Next time they need a pair of shoes (or friends of theirs need a recommendation on where to buy shoes), your name will be the first to come up. If possible, give them incentive to come in again. Have a promotion running where if you buy a product now, next month you can buy another pair at 1/2 off. Aim to turn your new customers into returning customers. And the more memorable you make their customer experience, the more likely this is to happen.
