Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Keep your dog warm and dry. Feed them a warm, hearty diet. Increase the humidity in your home. Watch your dog's fluid intake. Give them plenty of rest.

Answer: Keep your dog in a warm, dry environment as soon as you notice any potential symptoms. Turn up the thermostat by 2 or 3 degrees and provide plenty of warm blankets for your dog to curl up in. You can even use dog sweaters and socks to help your furry friend stay cozy while they fight their symptoms. Pet stores and online retailers offer heated dog beds, which use a low heat to help keep your dog consistently warm. Your dog should be warm, but you need to watch them to make sure they don't overheat. If they start any heavy panting, remove some layers or turn down the temperature. You should provide your dog with ample food while they are fighting their cold. Unless instructed otherwise by your vet, allow them to free-feed until their symptoms clear. You can even feed them shredded chicken or warm, low sodium chicken or beef broth to help supplement their diet while they recover. When your dog has a cold, it can dull their sense of smell. Help them find their food by warming it up in the microwave for ten seconds or so. This makes their meals more fragrant and easier to find. If the dog isn't eating well, then a trip to the vet is a good idea. However, you may find hand-feeding your dog entices it to eat. Just like humans, dogs suffering from a cold breathe a bit easier with humid air. Set up a humidifier in the area where your dog typically sleeps, as well as one in the living room or any other area your dog spends their day. For many dogs, this means having one where they sleep, and maybe a second one in the living room or near their food and water. When possible, opt for a cool mist humidifier. Warm mist models could burn your pet if they aren't monitored carefully. Hydration is especially important for dogs with colds. Make sure your dog has constant, unobstructed access to clean, fresh water. If your dog doesn't drink for a period of several hours, add a splash of low-sodium chicken or beef broth to the water to encourage them to drink. Be sure to change your dog's water at least once a day. Wash their bowl with dish soap and hot water every time you change their drinking water to make sure their germs don't spread. If your dog goes a full day without drinking, call your vet immediately. Dehydration is a serious condition, and should be treated as soon as possible. Even if your dog is normally active and playful, they need ample rest when fighting a cold. Dogs need 12 to 14 hours of sleep a day, and they may need even more than that when they are sick. Let your dog rest until their symptoms subside. Avoid taking them for long walks or playing exhausting games with them.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Quit smoking Lose weight Wear loose fitting clothing. Change your usual sleeping position. Relax every day.

Answer: . Not only does smoking cause cancer and many other health problems, it may also be the cause of your heartburn. Smoking has been linked with heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Studies have found that smoking weakens the lower esophageal sphincter, which is the muscle that keeps your stomach contents from backing up into your esophagus. A weakened lower esophageal sphincter is more likely to allow stomach acids to escape and cause damage to your esophagus. Talk to your doctor about smoking cessation programs in your area, if you want to quit smoking. Try using the START acronym to quit smoking: S= Set a quit date. T= Tell friends and family. A= Anticipate challenges ahead. R= Remove tobacco products for home, work, and car. T= Talk to your doctor for more support. . Being overweight is thought to be a contributor to heartburn because the excess fat on your abdomen puts pressure on your stomach and may force your stomach contents back up into your esophagus. Studies have shown that a drastic weight loss is not necessary to help relieve heartburn caused by being overweight. Even a small weight loss, 5 to 10% of your body weight, may help relieve your heartburn. To lose weight, try to limit calories to 1800 to 2000 kcal a day, while also exercising for 30 minutes five times per week. You can use a fitness tracker or application to log your food and keep track of your activity. Tight pants and belts may be contributing to your heartburn by causing too much pressure on your abdomen and causing your stomach contents to back up. Make sure that your pants fit comfortably and that you do not wear your belt too tight. Choose clothing that is a size too big or that has an elastic waistband if your heartburn is severe. If you often suffer from nighttime heartburn, there are two positions that seem to be the most effective against heartburn: sleeping on your left side and sleeping with your upper body elevated. Try one or both of these sleep positions to see if either one helps to relieve your heartburn. Sleeping on your left side helps aid digestion. Try sleeping on your left side if elevating your upper body does not seem to help. Sleeping with your upper body elevated reduces the possibility that stomach acid will flow up your esophagus. Try using a wedge-shaped pillow to elevate your whole upper body. Using regular pillows will just elevate your head. Stress may contribute to your heartburn symptoms by causing your stomach to produce more stomach acid. Incorporating relaxation techniques into your daily routine, especially after you eat, may help to relieve heartburn. Try meditation, yoga, massage, aromatherapy, deep breathing, or something else to help yourself relax every day.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find a new goal. Go to the gym. Focus on yourself. Get a new hobby. Get some perspective.

Answer: Focus your energy and emotions toward a new goal. When you feel yourself missing your ex, redirect these feelings toward a different goal or passion. Obsessive thinking about your ex activates the same craving region in your brain as drugs and alcohol. Replace your addiction with something productive. Working out relieves stress. Excess stress can make you more likely to crave companionship. Being single means you have more time to think about yourself. Use this opportunity to redirect your attention back to your own needs and wants. Think about your professional goals. This is a great time to push your personal growth at work or at school. If there is something you have always been interested, such as cooking or a new sport, now is the time to pick it up. It will be a great distraction from your sadness. See your current pain as a temporary state. With time, it will pass. Your mindset is essential to forgetting about someone. Keep a positive attitude and tell yourself that you will get over her with time. It may seem impossible to you now, but if you view it as an impossible task, you will never forget your ex.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Research investors thoroughly. Learn common investment terms. Check out online angel investor networks. Craft a thorough business plan. Personalize your pitch for each investor. Focus on selling yourself. Identify what makes your idea unique. Learn to handle rejection well. Look for a local incubator.

Answer:
Especially if you're strapped for cash, you may want to jump at the first offer that comes your way. However, your investors will have a hand in your business. It's worth taking the time to get to know them. Find out as much as you can about their investment track record. If they've previously invested in other companies, see how those companies are performing today. The best investors for you will be people who have experience in your industry. For example, if you have an idea for a mobile app, it isn't necessary that your investors are computer engineers, but they should at least have a basic understanding of how your app works and what it does. Based on your research, you should be able to come up with a list of 20 or 30 investors you can focus on. When you start talking to professional investors, you'll hear them throwing terms around that may be unfamiliar to you. Take some time to research and read about venture capital and startup investing to avoid an embarrassing mistake. Investors will be interested in the value of your company. They may refer to pre-money valuation and post-money valuation. The pre-money valuation is the agreed-upon valuation of your company before funding. The post-money valuation is the pre-money valuation plus the amount of money invested. Become familiar with rounds of investing. The first round typically is referred to as the "Seed" round. You may then proceed through A, B, and C rounds of financing. When investors fund your company, they'll receive shares of stock in your company in exchange for their investment. Read up on the types of stock you can issue so you'll understand what investors are asking for. Online networks, such as AngelList, do more than connect you with private investors. These websites also have educational resources that can help you build your business plan and market your idea. Craft your profile carefully and share your page with family and friends to gain possible connections. An investment is not a loan. When you pitch your idea to investors, they want to know that they will eventually make money off of their investment. Your business plan should clearly show how you intend to monetize your idea and when you expect to achieve a profit. Also make sure your start-up expenses are realistic. Investors want to know that you have a reliable budget and will be able to launch your product or service without needing additional funding. Successful private investors may hear hundreds of pitches every week. Stand out from the competition by letting each investor know exactly why they should have a personal interest in your project. Ideally, your investors will provide not just money, but resources and expertise to help your project launch and succeed. When you're planning your pitch, think about what each specific investor could add to the project. It may help if you can demonstrate that with the assistance of a particular investor, your project would perform better than if you used anyone else. Don't be afraid to appeal to an investor's ego. Encourage them to believe that they alone could provide an immense benefit to your project. Selling your product or service to an investor is only part of the equation. You also must convince them that you're the person to run the project and get it off the ground. Think about why you are uniquely suited to develop the project. It needs to be something beyond the fact that you came up with the idea. Highlight related personal and professional experiences that give you insight into the project that no other person could have. Especially if you're trying to enter a relatively saturated market, you must be able to differentiate yourself from the competition. Be prepared to show potential investors what your product or service offers that your competitors don't. One way to do this is to focus on a particular niche that is relatively untapped. This could be a target location or a particular demographic. When you first start looking for investors, you'll likely hear no far more often than you hear yes. Just because you weren't the right fit for a particular investor doesn't mean your idea isn't any good. If investors provide any reasons as to why they aren't willing to invest, take that feedback seriously and see if you can make any improvements in either your project or your pitch based on that. An incubator or facilitator is a business designed to help develop and grow start-ups. Incubators are particularly common in the tech industry. Investors may take on a more hands-on, mentoring approach. In the US, check the website of the National Business Incubation Association to locate incubators near you that could possibly help you find investors.
