user: Slow down and enjoy what you’re eating. It helps to treat this like an exercise: concentrate on your food as you chew, mentally thinking about its texture and flavor. Otherwise, you may be missing out on crucial stimulus and the more subtle flavors in your meals. Unless you’ve always been a foodie, you might find that eating is a bit boring. Many of us have the TV playing in the background while we eat, or worse, eat at our desk during work. These distractions make your digestive system 30 to 40 percent less efficient when it’s time to break down food. You’re missing out on flavors you should be enjoying, and also making it more likely that your meal will cause gas, bloating and constipation. Make sure you do the following when eating:  No electronics. Keep the TV off and don’t eat at the computer. Get comfortable. Sit down at a table, and make sure you are comfortable as this will encourage you to take your time when you eat. Don’t reach for the ketchup or BBQ sauce as soon as it’s time to eat. Over-complicating your meals by adding condiments robs you of the chance to savor a food’s texture and flavors. While an appropriate sauce can complement a food’s natural taste, you shouldn’t be slathering all your meals with condiments, as it desensitizes your taste buds. Salt and sugar can overstimulate your taste buds when ingested in high enough quantities, leaving them desensitized to other flavors. Many processed foods, be they chips, cereal or ketchup, have an abundance of both these substances. Make an active effort to limit the presence of processed foods in your diet and your taste buds will start regaining their sensitivity. As you do this, keep the following in mind:  While technically processed foods, meat and dairy products are processed for safety reasons. Don’t feel the need to avoid them.  Try to avoid foods that come bagged or boxed, such as cookies, chips or cereal. Avoid frozen foods, even frozen fruits and vegetables. They are less preferable than their fresh counterparts.

Summary: Eat more slowly. Focus on your meal. Ease up on the condiments. Avoid processed foods.


There are some talented authors who specialize in 2 or more genres, but most authors stick with one genre of writing and work to perfect it. There's no right or wrong answer, and no genre is more published than the others, so go with what you love the most. If you are unsure about what genre you want to write in, then focus on the stories you want to tell and let the genre develop on its own.   Think about which genre you like the best. Do you tend to lean towards poetry, works of fiction, or nonfiction essays/memoirs? There are many sub-genres you can work within, such as comedy, drama, and so forth. However, first you'll need to choose a primary genre. One factor that may help you choose a genre is to consider who your target audience is. If you want to write stories for children or adolescents, for example, you might choose young adult literature. Sometimes the idea you have for your story may determine the best genre for your piece of writing.  Remember that it’s okay to combine genres, such as romance and science-fiction, or horror and historical fiction. Ultimately, you'll have to go with the genre you're most comfortable writing in. Try out multiple genres, read some noteworthy publications from various genres, and decide which one you would enjoy writing the most. Once you've chosen a genre, you should strive to become an expert in that genre. Read as much as you can by published authors working in your genre of choice, and take a look at some craft books that discuss the finer elements of writing within a certain genre.  Search online for the most popular works of the genre you're considering. For example, if you're thinking of writing poetry, you might use Google or Bing to search for famous/influential works of poetry. Read as much as you can by as many authors as you can. Many writers believe that you have to be an extensive reader and know the genre well before you can attempt to master that genre. Try reading craft books on your genre of choice. You can search online, in a bookstore, or at your local library for books on writing poetry, fiction, or nonfiction. Writing takes a lot of practice. It doesn't come easy, but it does get more familiar the more that you practice it. Set aside some time every day, every other day, or every week to work on your craft without interruption or distraction. Remember that you won't pick it up overnight, so be patient with yourself and keep working until it all comes together.  Some writers set a minimum word count or page count for themselves. Others simply set aside the time to write and work at their own pace. There is no right or wrong way to practice writing. The important thing is that you set aside time for writing and put your pen to the paper (or your hands on the keyboard).

Summary: Choose a genre or just focus on the story. Learn the ins and outs of your genre. Make time to write and stay on schedule.


In HTML coding, you can center text, but you must identify image alignment with the word “middle.” An image is not a line element, so it is identified in relation to other elements. Use a paragraph tag to indicate that a text line is beginning. Start your tag with <p> then write your text. gif”. Then include your image description by typing alt=”image description”.  The “src” section tells the web page the URL of the image. The alt section tells the web page what it should be called. Type align=”middle”> This is the end of the image portion of your tag. Then, close the tag with </p>. For example, your entire tag could look like this: <p>We’re learning about HTML. <img src=”dancingdogpicture.gif” alt=”dancing dog” align=”middle> Our example is complete. </p>



assistant: Summary: Don’t use the word “center” in your tag. Start a new line of code. Insert the image by typing <img src=”imgName. Specify the alignment of your image. Add more text.
