Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Buy a bottle of MiraLAX and 64floz (1.9L) of a light-colored liquid. Mix the full bottle of MiraLAX into the full amount of liquid. Drink the entire bottle of MiraLAX mix over roughly 24 hours.

Answer: Your colon needs to be completely emptied in order for a colonoscopy to be effective, so the doctor doing the procedure will have a dietary and laxative plan for you to follow in the days leading up to the colonoscopy. Follow their specific instructions, but don't be surprised if they include the following: A full, standard size, 238-gram bottle of MiraLAX. A 64floz (1.9L) jug of a clear or light-colored liquid. Sports drinks (like Gatorade) are often recommended because they replace electrolytes lost as your colon is emptied. However, the liquid cannot be red, purple, orange, or any dark colorchoose a pale yellow or clear variety. You'll usually be advised to add the entire bottle of MiraLAX to the jug of liquid, shake it up to dissolve the MiraLAX, and store it in the fridge. However, follow the specific instructions given by your healthcare provider. Don't mix up the MiraLAX and liquid until directed to do sooften the day before your procedure. Refrigeration makes the beverage more palatable, which is important since you'll be drinking so much of it! During the day or so leading up to the colonoscopy, you'll likely be directed to drink 8floz (240ml) glass every hour, and then every 15 minutes until it is all gone. You will be given a precise schedule to follow, and you should follow it precisely. Shake the bottle up well each time you pour a glass. Follow the doctor's instructions exactly as given to you. If you don't, the colonoscopy may not be successful and you'll have to repeat the entire process at a later date.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Plan out your route ahead of time, including transitions, walking, biking, and time of day. Call ahead or check your train's website to see if they accept bikes. Allow extra time to get to your destination. Pay the correct fare. Stand on the platform. Board the train with your bike, standing along the side. Follow subway and train etiquette.

Answer: Unfortunately, there is no standard procedure when taking bikes on public transit. Some trains allow it, some only on certain hours, and others never at all. Coupled with any transitions you might make, such as switching to a bus or light-rail, and it may seem easier to skip the bike altogether. However, knowing your entire route in advance will make planning far easier. Google and Apple maps, for example, have extensive public transportation and bike maps that let you know all available routes, even mixed routes, after you type in your destination address. If you need to take a bus, does the bus system accept bikes? How far are you traveling when you get off the train? It might make more sense to lock the bike at the station if you get right off at your destination. Find out if there are any fees, restrictions, or requirements. The most frequent restrictions include: Only riding in bike-designated cars. No bikes during peak hours, frequently 8-10AM and 4-6PM No bikes on crowded or packed cars. Getting your bike up and down the stairs, through turnstiles, and on the train will inevitably take a little extra time, so plan accordingly. For short trips, an extra 5-10 minutes should be more than enough to get you there on time. Many stations do not let you bring a bike on escalators for safety reasons, so be prepared to potentially haul up and down stairs. Purchase the fare for your trip, including fees for bringing your bike. Many trains require an additional amount to cover the bike. If you can't get in the turnstile with your bike, signal the attendant. You can usually swipe your card/pay the fare, then enter through the emergency or handicapped entrance after paying. Stand with your bike on the platform behind the boarding line until the train comes to a stop. Wait for other passengers to exit and enter before boarding. Stow it away from doors and aisles, in a position where it won't fall over and you can keep a hand on it. Try to turn the handlebars so that the wheels are in a straight line, out of the way of as many people as possible. Use bike racks on the train if they are available, which usually involve wedging or lifting your front wheel into a small rack. If there are other bikes on the train, place your front wheel near their back. These allows the bikes to fit together better and keeps the handlebars from jamming into each other. Be sure your bike is secure if you're not holding it yourself. Don't leave it where other passengers can trip over it or run off with it. Make sure you can keep an eye on it. The unwritten rules of a good train passenger will keep everyone happier as you move too and fro. When carrying a bike, let others on and off before you, respect the rules (no riding during rush hour or on crowded trains) and politely ask people move or adjust their bikes if you think you can fit them more snugly. And, if the ride is short and the train is crowded, just ride home. That's why you have the bike, after all.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use ice. Use baking soda. Make an egg white mask.

Answer: Rubbing an ice cube over your pores for 10 to 15 seconds can help to tighten the skin and close up the pores, making them appear smaller. You should only do this on clean, freshly-washed skin. Make a paste from one tablespoon of baking soda and a little water. Apply this paste to the problem areas and leave to dry for 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water. This can help to minimize the appearance of pores. Baking soda also dries out the skin, which can help to fight acne. Any method that reduces skin oil will also make pores appear smaller. Egg white masks are believed to tighten pores, making them appear smaller. Mix 2 raw eggs whites with 1/4 cup of fresh orange juice. Apply this mask to the face and leave to sit for 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water. The orange juice helps to brighten your complexion.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Peel off Peel off the excess skin. Split the grapefruit into sections. Arrange the sections on a plate.

Answer:
the skin of the grapefruit. Peel off the outer skin of the grapefruit just as you would do for an orange. Grapefruit skin is thick, so if you are having trouble making the first peel, knick the skin with a knife and peel away from this incision. After you peel away the skin, you will probably see a whitish layer around the outside of the grapefruit. Use your fingernails to peel off this layer. You can also use a knife to cut it away if you prefer. You won't be able to peel this off all at once. Instead, peel it off in little strips or use a knife. Take the peeled grapefruit and separate each section. There should be about twelve sections to each grapefruit. If you want, you can cut away the membranes. The membranes add a bitter taste to the fruit, so some prefer to cut them off. However, it isn't necessary. Take the sections of grapefruit and pile them onto a plate. To eat the grapefruit, just take a slice and enjoy! This is one of the easiest ways to prepare grapefruit. Because the membrane is slightly bitter and tough, some prefer to prepare grapefruit in a way that removes the membrane from the fruit.
