Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Stick with water in the beginning. Stick with clear liquids, and preferably something with electrolytes. Use syrups and tonics to help calm your stomach. Avoid liquids with caffeine, carbonation, and high amounts of acidity. Try to drink a little ginger tea in order to quell your nausea.

Answer: If you've been vomiting a lot recently, drink only small amounts of cool water at a time. Too much water processed too quickly can cause you to begin to throw up. If you want, try sucking on an ice cube. The cool water feels good going down your throat and it's nearly impossible to drink too much water by melting the ice cube in your mouth. Clear liquids aside from water are helpful in replacing certain essential vitamins that you may have lost while previously vomiting. If you can, try to drink liquids that are high in potassium and sodium. These are among the body's most important electrolytes. They are often lost when the body goes through the vomiting process. Acceptable "clear" liquids include: Weak tea Bouillon Apple juice Sugar free sports drinks Coke syrup (the kind used in soda machines) may work in soothing your upset stomach, as might over the counter syrups like Emetrol. Children should have 1-2 teaspoons while adults should have 1-2 tablespoons. While there is little science to back up the claim that coke syrup works, it has been used for generations in order to soothe upset stomachs. In fact, it was originally used as a stomach tonic. Syrups like Emetrol can be safely used by children. Although it is often used by women who are pregnant, the manufacturer's guidelines recommend checking with your doctor before taking. This includes many sodas and coffee, as well as fruit juices like orange juice, grapefruit juice, or lemonade. Ginger has been a renowned nausea-buster for quite some time now, beating out dramamine in effectiveness in one particularly noteworthy study. You can purchase bagged ginger tea or brew your own ginger tea with honey, also called Tisane. If you don't want warm tea but still want the soothing benefits of ginger, try drinking ginger ale. Pop open a can and let the carbonation die off first; remember that carbonation can upset an already fragile stomach, causing vomiting. Another option to try if you want ginger but can't stomach any fluids is to try candied ginger. Try nibbling on a small amount of candied ginger once every 45 minutes.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid jumping to conclusions. Reflect on your recent actions. Invite them to talk privately. Be nice. Explain your feelings. Hear them out. Be willing to collaborate on a solution if it's realistic. Know when to let it go.

Answer: Feeling ignored is frustrating, and it's easy to assume the worst. Don't assume that the other person is being malicious or intentionally giving you the cold shoulder, however. Consider alternative reasons why they might be ignoring you. For instance: They're distracted by something else, like problems at home or work. You upset them without realizing it, and they feel hurt. They just don't "click" with you, so they prefer to spend time with other people. They're keeping a secret (like a surprise party) from you, and they're worried they'll spill it if they talk to you. They feel nervous around you for some reason (like having a crush on you or being intimidated by you). They just aren't very social, and they treat everyone this way. This can be a challenge. People often don't want to admit they did something wrong, or even notice that they've done something to offend someone. Take some deep breaths and evaluate your recent interactions with them. Was there any tension? Could their feelings have been hurt? Plan for an apology if you realize you've done something wrong. Even if this person didn't behave perfectly either, it is always better to take the high road. Practice different meditating techniques if it is hard for you to reflect. If you're having trouble viewing the situation objectively, try asking someone else who knows what's going on and can give you an outside perspective. Sometimes the best way to get to the root of the issue is to sit down with the other person and clear the air. Send them an email or a letter asking if you can get together to chat in private at a particular time and place. Pick a quiet time to talk, when both of you are free and not distracted. Meeting in private will allow you to work out any problems between you (if there are any) without the embarrassment of a public confrontation. If you're especially nervous or think it might not go well, you can ask a 3rd party (like a mutual friend, counselor, or authority figure) to hep mediate. If they see you making an effort, they may speak to you again. Acting rudely towards them will only create a larger, convoluted feud. Make "I" statements to say how you feel. Non-judgmentally explain the pattern, and say how it makes you feel. Here are some examples: "Lately, when the three of us hang out, you're mostly talking with Serena while I listen. I feel left out." "Mom, I've seen you play video games with my brothers a lot. I'm glad you have good relationships with them, but sometimes I feel left out. I wish we spent more time together." "Honey, lately I've noticed that after work, you go out with friends, and don't come back until late. I miss you, and I want to spend more time with you." "Are you upset with me? I noticed that you haven't been answering my calls and texts for the last 2 weeks." It's possible that they didn't realize that they were making you feel ignored, or that they're dealing with a problem you weren't aware of. Be willing to accept a reasonable explanation. Talk about ways that both of you can adjust so that the relationship improves. Getting things out in the open, and making an agreement, can help both of you figure out how to move forward. "If I read the same book series as you, would that give the three of us something in common to talk about? Because I would be willing to do that. It does sound like a cool series." "So, what I'm hearing is that you play more with my brothers because they invite you to play games, and if I want to spend time with you, I should ask, and you will. Is that right?" "I didn't realize that I was overwhelming you. Maybe we could set aside two date nights a week for just us, and I'll go out with friends more often too, so that I don't feel lonely as often?" "I can't change my sexuality. If you aren't okay with me being gay, that's your problem, and you don't have to spend time with me anymore." If they are unwilling to talk about it, if it's a bad time, or if it devolves into screaming or accusations, it might be time to walk away. You can revisit the topic during a better time, or re-evaluate whether the relationship is worth maintaining. "You seem pretty distracted right now. Would it be better to talk about this later today?" "I would like to have a closer relationship with you. But if that's not a priority for you, then we don't have to have this conversation." "I don't want to fight with you. Maybe we should take a break for now." "If you're going to call me names, then I'm going to leave." "Let's talk about this later, when we're both calmer."

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Type the minutes as soon as possible. Identify when the meeting was held. Note when the meeting was called to order. State whether prior minutes were adopted. Note any reports or presentations given. Summarize the discussion of agenda items. Provide fuller notes on important agenda items. Add remaining information. Circulate your draft minutes. Avoid making changes to final minutes. Store your approved minutes.

Answer:
You might have taken handwritten notes while sitting in the meeting. Even if you typed your notes, you might have caught only fragment sentences. As soon as possible, sit down and type up more complete minutes. Remember to use standard grammar and complete sentences. For example, "Mr. Smith objected to the new line of credit" is acceptable. "Smith no on credit" isn't. There are corporate meeting templates available online. You might want to look at them if you need help figuring out how to organize your minutes. At the top of your page, include the where, when, and who attended or was absent. Also note any guests and who wrote down the minutes for the meeting. For example, you can write: "Minutes of a regular meeting of the board of Directors of ABC Company, held January 22, 2017 at 1245 Corporate Avenue. The following directors were present: Abrams, Jones, Smith, Calvert, Bono. The following directors were absent: Clinton. The following guests were present: Michael Matthews, CPA. Minutes recorded by J. Allen." State who called the meeting to order and acknowledged the existence of a quorum. Also state the time. For example, "Chair Abrams called the meeting to order at 6:15 pm and noted the presence of a quorum. He introduced the guests in attendance." For example, you can write: "On motion made, seconded, and carried, the Board approved the previously distributed minutes dated [insert date]." Some reports are given at every meeting. However, you may also have had a special presentation related to an agenda item. Identify the following: Who gave the presentation or report. Also identify their title. Some presentations are given by guests, and the minutes should fully reflect their identity. What the presentation or report was about. Whether the presenter responded to questions asked. If a report was offered for adoption by the board, note whether there was discussion and if it was adopted. For example, "After a brief discussion of the issues, a motion was made to accept the financial report, which was seconded and passed." The board might have decided to adopt a resolution or take action on some other agenda item. You should summarize the discussion of the members. Also note the vote on each item. Use simple language. Avoid unnecessary words and adjectives, which clutter the minutes. For example, "Mr. Smith disagreed with Ms. Jones" is preferable to "Mr. Smith strenuously disagreed with Ms. Jones." Properly identify documents the attendees review. For example, "The Board approved the proposed additions to the conflict of interest policy" is unclear. Instead, identify the document: "The Board unanimously approved the 'Addition to Conflict Reporting' proposal dated June 1, 2016, a copy of which was distributed before the meeting." Some corporate agenda items are more important than others. They are important because future lawsuits might arise out of the board's decision. Lawyers and judges will treat your minutes as an accurate portrayal of how the board acted. To protect the board, you should provide more detail. Mergers and acquisitions, stock buybacks, and other significant decisions will require more detail. Directors can be sued for improperly exercising their business judgment. Board members often must consult with experts or review reports/studies before making a decision in these areas. Your minutes should reflect that an expert presentation was made or that you distributed studies or reports to board members ahead of the meeting. You should also note that sufficient time was given to discussion and that the board acted in a business-like manner. Note whether the board discussed alternatives to the proposed course of action. Summarize why the board rejected or adopted the alternative course of action. Note the following, where applicable, in the chronological order in which they occurred at the meeting: Announcements. The Chair or other members might have made announcements about upcoming meetings or other issues. Executive session. State whether the board went into executive session after staff and guests left. Adjournment. For example, you can write, "There being no additional business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:55 pm." Your draft needs to be reviewed. Follow your corporation's policy. For example, you might need to show your draft to the General Counsel or the Chief Financial Officer. They may make comments, which you should incorporate. You may then need to distribute the draft to a broader group of management, which may also have comments. Finally, you will distribute the minutes to the full board, since they will be voting on the minutes for the next meeting. Once approved by the board, minutes are final. You should avoid making changes to them. Some experts suggest you can make minor edits, such as fixing spelling errors. However, there's really no need to correct typos and other tiny errors unless they prevent someone from understanding what was written. You should never change anything substantive. If a board member wants to make a change to approved minutes, tell the board chairperson. You don't have to file your corporate minutes with your state. However, you probably must store them with your other corporate records, such as your bylaws and articles of incorporation. Keep the minutes for at least seven years or perhaps indefinitely, depending on your internal policies. If your minutes incorporated a document by reference, attach the document. You should also discard any drafts of your minutes after the final version has been adopted. You may also have to delete back-up electronic versions of the minutes.
