Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use a VoIP service to call using your computer. Use email or instant messaging for a quick and easy way to get in touch.

Answer: VoIP, which stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, works much the same way as a telephone, but it uses an internet connection instead of a phone line or cell service. To use a VoIP, you'll have to download the program offered by the service you choose, and the other party may need to install the same program. You'll also need a microphone and a speaker or headset, and some VoIP services require you to use a special phone that plugs into your computer. The main advantage of VoIP is that you can make calls for free or for a low monthly fee. However, the call quality may not be as high as calling from a traditional phone. Also, there may be an additional charge if you use the service to call a cell phone or land line. Popular VoIP services include Vonage, Google Voice, and Skype. Depending on where you live, it can sometimes be hard to get in touch with someone in Saudi Arabia, due to the differences in time zones and their Sunday-Thursday work week. If you're having trouble finding the time to meet up for a phone call, try sending them a message or an e-mail instead. That way, they'll be able to respond at their leisure.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose lean protein sources. Eat five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Choose whole grains over refined grains. Limit highly processed junk foods. Drink more water. Considering taking supplements.

Answer: Lean protein is an essential nutrient in your diet. It provides the basis for the majority of your body's processes and functions. Choosing healthy, lean sources of protein at each meal can help meet your body's needs each day. In general, one serving of protein is about 3-4 ounces. This is the size of your palm or a deck of cards. Most of your protein choices should be lean. These contain higher amounts of protein and less fat which can help support a healthy weight. Choose items like poultry, eggs, lean beef, seafood, legumes, pork, tofu or low-fat dairy products. It's appropriate to eat higher fat protein sources on occasion. However, these types of foods should not be the main source of your protein. Both fruits and vegetables are low in calories and incredibly nutrient rich. Eating adequate servings of these foods can help you reach a variety of your nutrient goals each day. One serving of fruits is 1/2 cup or one small piece of fruit. One serving of vegetables is one cup or two cups of leafy green vegetables. Make half of your plate a fruit or vegetable to help you meet your daily goals. Choose a variety of fruits and vegetables that are deep in color. These contain more nutrients compared to paler vegetables. For example, choose spinach over iceberg lettuce or choose butternut squash over yellow summer squash. Also choose a wide variety of fruits and vegetables each day and week. You will limit your nutrition if you only eat one or two types of fruits and vegetables. When you're eating foods like bread, rice or pasta, it's beneficial to eat 100% whole grains instead of refined grains. Whole grains are less processed and contain the entire grain bran, endosperm and germ. These foods are typically higher in fiber, protein and other essential nutrients. Choose items like brown rice, quinoa, whole grain oats or 100% whole wheat bread. Refined grains are those that are more processed and generally do not contain the nutrient containing parts of the grain. Refined grains are lower in fiber, protein and other nutrients. Items like white bread, plain pasta or white rice are refined grains. One serving of grains is about 1 ounce. That could be one slice of bread or about 1/2 cup of pasta or rice. Include three to four servings of these foods each day. These types of foods generally contain more sugar, fat, sodium and overall calories. To help promote a healthy diet and weight, it's important to reduce the intake of these types of foods. Limit foods like candy, cakes, cookies, pastries, frozen meals, processed meats and chips or crackers. Try to eat mostly whole, minimally processed foods like raw fruits and vegetables, frozen or canned fruits and vegetables without sauces or seasonings, fresh or frozen protein without added sauces or seasonings, whole grains and low-fat dairy products. Adequate hydration is an essential component of a healthy eating plan. Adequate hydration helps your body function normally. Everyone needs a different amount of hydrating fluids each day. New guidelines suggest this method to find out how many ounces to drink each day: divide your weight in half, and that will give you the number of ounces of fluids you should consume. If you weigh 150 lbs. you should drink 75 oz or a little over nine cups. Try to drink this much as your initial goal. You may change this amount as you continue to work on your diet. Choose fluids that are sugar-free and decaffeinated as they hydrate you the best. Items like water, flavored water, decaf coffee and tea are appropriate types of beverages. Reduce or cut out sweetened beverages. The consumption of sweetened beverages may lead to weight gain. Cut out sodas, juices, sweet teas and alcohol. Vitamin and mineral supplements may help you maintain your healthy eating pattern. These supplements can add extra nutrition to your diet. This may be particularly useful for people with food allergies, diet restrictions or are picky eaters. Consider taking a multivitamin. This is a general supplement that contains a wide variety of vitamins and minerals. These are an excellent, all-purpose type of supplement. Consider an additional iron supplement. Some people, especially females who are menstruating, may need additional iron. Vitamin B12 is typically found in animal foods, and those who are vegetarian or vegan may need an additional B12 supplement. Vitamin and mineral supplements are not to be relied upon heavily or used in place of real, whole foods. They are meant to be a supplement to a healthy, well-balanced diet. Always check with your doctor before starting any vitamin or mineral supplement. Not all supplements are safe and appropriate for everyone.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Evaluate the circumstances. Decide if you need to address it in your cover letter. Change the style of your resume.

Answer: Think about how long you were unemployed. Does it merit getting addressed in your cover letter? These days, it is not uncommon for employment searches to take six months. Several years of unemployment will raise questions. Many employers may fear this gap is prison time or a job you are unable to list on your resume due to gross negligence. Smaller gaps do not likely need to be addressed at this stage. If you have had longer gaps between employment, you may wish to address them in your cover letter. If you feel you must, then make sure to do so in brief. When there are large gaps of unemployment, or even more than one gap in employment, you may wish to choose a different resume format. A functional resume lists work experience in skill/position-related categories, as opposed to chronologically. In this way you highlight the nature of your work experience. Create categories like "Customer Service Experience" and "Managerial Experience". This will avoid highlighting any gaps of time. Omit months. Especially when you have worked jobs for a number of years, this can give you a little bit of wiggle room around the start and end of employment. List positions held for the longest amount of time first. This will show off your commitment, and your ability to responsibly hold a job for long periods of time.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make eye contact. Give the speaker your full attention. Encourage the speaker with body language. Listen actively to express your interest. Don't expect them to open up immediately.

Answer:
Eye contact is important when you are listening. If you give your friend the impression you aren't interested and are distracted, they may never open up to you again. When it comes to being a good listener, it's important for you to have eye contact with the other person. When someone is talking to you, focus directly on their eyes so that they will know with certainty that you are absorbing every single word. Even if the topic is not interesting to you, at least respect and truly listen to what the speaker has to say. Don't stare off in space. Focus your eyes, ears and your thoughts only on him/her and become a good listener. Don't concentrate on thinking about what you will say next, but instead, focus fully on what the other person is saying. (Remember that it's about the person, not you.) If you want to be a good listener, then it's important for you to create a conducive physical and mental space. Remove all distractions and confer all of your attention to the person who has something to say to you. Turn off communication devices (including cell phones) and arrange to talk in a place with no distractions. Once you are face-to-face, quiet your mind and pay attention to what the other person is telling.Show them that you are helpful. Pick a place that is free of distractions or other people who might grab your attention. If you go to a coffee shop, make sure you're focused on the person who is speaking, not the interesting characters who walk in and out of the door. If you're talking in a public place like a restaurant or a cafe, avoid sitting near a television that's on. Even if you're determined to give the person all of your attention, it can be tempting to take a quick look at the television, especially if your favorite team is playing. Nodding your head will indicate that you understand what the speaker is saying, and will encourage them to continue. Adopting body postures, positions and movements that are similar to the speaker (mirroring) will enable the speaker to relax and open up more. Try looking straight into their eyes. Not only does this show you are listening, but it shows you take real interest in what they are saying. Another way to have encouraging body language is to turn your body toward the speaker. If you're turned away from the speaker, then it may look like you're itching to leave. If you cross your legs, for example, cross your leg toward the speaker instead of away. Don't cross your arms over your chest, either. This will make you appear standoffish or skeptical even if you don't actually feel that way. Active listening involves the entire body and face both yours and that of the speaker. You can be quiet while still making it clear that you are hanging on to every word that the speaker is telling you. Here's how you can make the most of the situation by being an active listener: Your words: Though you don't have to say, "Mmhmm," "I see," or "Right," every five seconds or it will begin to get annoying, you can throw in an encouraging phrase here and there to show that you're paying attention.If that person whom you are talking to really means something to you,then you will surely pay attention and help them sort out their problem if there is any. Your expression: Look interested and meet the gaze of the speaker from time to time. Do not overwhelm the speaker by staring intently, but do reflect friendliness and openness to what you are listening to. Read between the lines: Always be alert for things that have been left unsaid and for cues that can help you gauge the speaker's true feelings. Watch the facial and body expressions of the "teller" to try to gather all information you can, not just from the words. Imagine what kind of state of mind would have made you acquire such expressions, body language and volume. Speak at approximately the same energy level as the other person. This way, they will know that the message is getting through and that there is no need to repeat. Be patient and willing to just listen, without giving any advice. Try to repeat what the other person is saying to confirm the exact meaning. Sometimes words can mean two different things. The best way to confirm and avoid misunderstanding between the conversationalists is to repeat what the other person is saying so that the other person knows you were listening and both of you have the same idea. Consider their circumstances. If they are a sensitive person, don't give them "tough love."
