Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Select a high-quality cat food. Feed your Manx on a regular schedule. Give your Manx plenty of fresh, clean water. Give your Manx some treats.

Answer: Your Manx cat will require a high-quality cat food to meet all of his nutritional needs. Make sure that you choose a brand name cat food that is meant for cats. Also, if your Manx cat has special dietary needs, then you may need to feed him a special food. For example, if your Manx is overweight or obese, then you may need to give him food that is meant for cats. Make sure that the food contains taurine. Taurine is an essential amino acid and all cats need it to be healthy. If your Manx does not get enough taurine, then he may develop heart and/or vision problems. Cat food packages provide guidelines for how much you should feed your cat based on his weight. You can use this amount to help you create a regular feeding schedule. Take the amount of food that your Manx is supposed to eat every day and divide it into two portions. Give these portions to your cat in meals spaced about eight to 12 hours apart.  For example, you could give your cat breakfast at 8:00am and then give her dinner at around 8:00pm. Since cats like to eat small meals, giving your Manx two small meals each day should make it more likely that she will eat all of the food she is supposed to each day. Manx cats need access to fresh, clean water at all times. Wash your cat’s water dish every day and make sure that it is always full of fresh, clean water. Keep your cat’s food and water bowls away from all litter boxes. Cats don’t like to eat and drink near where they go to the bathroom. Cats enjoy having an occasional treat, so keep a bag of treats on hand. Make sure that you do not give your cat too many treats or he may become overweight. Limit the number of treats that you give your Manx to about 5% of his total daily calories.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Critique the same way you would want to be critiqued. Explain why you like or dislike an element. Look at the photo as objectively as you can. Reframe blunt passages. Avoid mixing technique with personal opinion.

Answer: Remember the Golden Rule, which is, of course, treat others how you would want to be treated. Simple comments (e.g. "Good job!") or insults (e.g. "Your photograph is garbage") will not help the photographer. If you were receiving a critique, you would probably want the writer to be thorough and fair. Extend this artist the same respect. Avoid one-word or one-sentence critiques. Writing to the photographer about how much you enjoyed the picture is flattering but won't teach them anything. Positive and negative comments are equally welcome in a critique, but without explanation, they lack value.  Photographers will listen to negative comments more intently if backed up with commentary. Instead of, "I love this duckling picture!," you might say, "The ducklings make a strong focal point, and softening the background allowed their colors to pop." If you know (or are) the person who took this photo, you may come into the photo with a bias. Put aside all personal emotions that could color the lens with which you see this photo. Avoid snap judgments: look at the photo for at least 5-10 minutes before composing your critique. Read over your critique and look for overly-emotional or unkind phrases. Take out judgments (like "stupid" or "unprofessional") and state facts. Try to keep from using "you" or "your," which can make the photographer feel personally attacked. Instead of, "Your exposure looked terrible," for example, you could say, "The picture could benefit from a faster shutter speed setting." Sometimes a photograph might look professionally well-done but conflict with your personal taste. Recognize whether you're critiquing a technical error or expressing your aesthetic taste. Put your focus on the former to avoid discouraging the photographer's style.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose whether to chant or sing the chaplet. Say the optional opening prayers. Touch the first small bead and say the Lord’s Prayer. Touch the second small bead and say the say the Hail Mary. Move to the next small bead and say the Apostle’s Creed. Touch the next large bead and say the Eternal Father prayer.

Answer: The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is a relatively quick prayer, which means that some people prefer to sing it. There are even audio guides that you can purchase for your phone or on CD to guide you along. If you chant the chaplet, try to keep a consistent and regular pace.  Don’t worry too much about the quality of your singing voice. The point is to focus on the words and the meanings behind them. You can also sing or chant the chaplet as a group. As you touch the large bead immediately above the cross on your rosary, repeat the following, “You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.” As soon as you are finished, you have the option to complete another prayer by repeating the following 3 times in succession, “O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a Fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!” As you touch the rosary bead, say, “Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.” Move upwards a single bead from the previous step and say, “Hail, Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.” As you touch this bead, say, “I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary; He suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended to Hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.” Continue by stating, “He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.” The next bead in the sequence is a large one. As you touch it, say, “Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.”


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand the types of help available. Visit your physician. Contact your health insurance company. Schedule an appointment. Ask questions. Consider your interaction with your provider.

Answer:
There are many trained professionals in the area of mental health, and while their roles often overlap, each field has its own specialties.  Psychiatrists are medical doctors who have completed a psychiatric residency. They are the most extensively trained psychological professionals and are usually the best source to help you manage prescription medications. They are also trained in the diagnosis of mental illnesses, including severe illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Clinical Psychologists have a doctoral degree in psychology and have usually completed internships or residencies in mental health facilities. They can diagnose mental illnesses, administer psychological tests, and provide psychotherapy. Unless they have a special license, they usually cannot write prescriptions. Psychiatric or Mental Health Nurse Practitioners have at least a master’s degree and specialized training in mental health. They can diagnose mental illnesses and prescribe medication. In some cases they can also provide psychotherapy. Depending on your state, they may be required to work in conjunction with a psychiatrist. Social Workers have at least a master’s degree in social work. Licensed Clinical Social Workers have completed internships or residencies in mental health facilities and have had training in mental health counseling. They can provide therapy but cannot prescribe medications. They are usually very familiar with social support systems and resources. Counselors have a graduate degree in counseling and have usually completed internships in mental health facilities. They tend to focus on particular mental health issues such as addictions and substance abuse, although they can provide counseling for a variety of mental health issues. They cannot prescribe medications, and in many states they cannot diagnose mental illness. Physicians usually do not have extensive training in mental health, but they can prescribe medications and can also help you manage your holistic health. Some mental illnesses, such as anxiety and depression, can often  be effectively treated with prescription medication that your personal doctor may be able to prescribe. Talk with your doctor about your symptoms and share your concerns.  Your doctor may also be able to refer you to a trained mental health professional in your area. An official mental health diagnosis is required for individuals to apply for Social Security psychiatric disability support and to ensure that you are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act. If you live in the United States, you probably pay for health insurance coverage. Call your insurance company and ask for the contact information for mental health professionals in your area who accept your insurance plan.  Be sure to clarify any specific requirements of your insurance plan. For example, you may need to obtain a referral from your primary doctor to see a psychiatrist, or there may be certain session limits placed on therapy. If you do not have health insurance, look for a community mental health center in your area. These centers often provide free or very low-cost treatment to low-income or uninsured individuals. Some large universities and medical schools also have low-cost clinics. Depending on your area, you may need to wait between a few days to a few months to get an appointment with a mental health professional, so book your appointment as soon as possible. Ask to join the waitlist or cancellation list, if they have one, so that you have a chance of securing an earlier appointment. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or plans, seek help immediately. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available to call, free of charge, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can also contact emergency services by dialing 911 (or your local equivalent). You should feel free to ask questions of your mental health care provider. If you don’t understand something or want clarification, ask. You should also ask questions about potential treatment options, such as the types and durations of therapy available, and what sorts of medication you may require. You should also ask your provider what you can do to help the process. While you cannot cure or treat mental illness on your own, there are things you can do to help promote your own mental health; discuss these with your provider. The relationship between you and your therapist should feel safe, welcoming, and comfortable. You will probably feel very vulnerable on your first visit. Your therapist may ask you uncomfortable questions or ask you to think about uncomfortable issues, but s/he should still make you feel secure, valued, and welcomed. If you don’t feel comfortable after a few sessions, you can move on. Remember, you may need to work with them long-term, so your therapist should feel like s/he is completely on your side.
