Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Research before dining out. Request your food be prepared without extra salt. Choose low salt pizza options. Opt for plain rice. Select the right fillings in sandwiches.

Answer: Look up the menu online ahead of time and see if it included nutritional information. Chain restaurants often provide nutritional information online. See which items are lowest in sodium and plan to order those when eating out. See if the restaurant has any specifically low-salt items on the menu. Some restaurants may have a whole section for foods low in salt and sugar. Try politely requesting that you not have salt added to your food or that the cook cuts down on salt. Remember to be polite to wait staff. Say something like, "Is there any way I could request the food be prepared with less salt." If they oblige your request, say thank you. If you're ordering pizza or going to a pizza place, opt for ingredients that are lower in salt. Chicken and vegetables are generally the lowest salt items. Things like pepperoni and bacon tend to have a lot of salt. Cheese also contains a lot of salt. Request that the restaurant use cheese lightly. When eating out at Chinese or Indian restaurants, you often get salt on the side. Instead of asking for something like fried rice or flavored rice, request plain rice. Plain rice is usually much lower in salt. When eating at a sandwich place, order low salt options. Ham, pickles, and cheeses tend to have high salt. Instead, go for things like chicken, eggs, vegetables, and lower salt cheeses like mozzarella. You should also ask for light servings of condiments or request condiments on the side.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Prune your plumeria in the early spring. Remove dead or diseased branches whenever you see them. Use a sharp, sanitized tool to make the cuts. Prune off any unsightly or overgrown branches. Make your cut about 1in (2.5cm) from the base of the limb. Make your cuts at a 45 angle to the branch.

Answer: Pruning encourages the plant to grow, so the best time to trim the plant is at the very start of the growing season, which occurs during spring and summer. This way, the new growth will make your plant look full and healthy. If you like, you can prune your plant after it finishes blooming, instead, but since the pruning will cause the plant to grow, it's best to do at the start of the growing season. Plumeria typically blooms from April through November in the northern hemisphere, and February through April in the southern hemisphere. You don't have to wait for a certain season to prune off unsightly branches. Trim them off of the plant as close to the base as you can get, using the same technique as you would for pruning. When you're pruning plumeria, you can use a knife, pruning shears, or a small saw. Older plumeria especially can get very woody, so a sharp tool is necessary to get a clean cut. Wear gardening gloves to protect your hands and improve your grip. For most plumeria plants, pruning shears are ideal. However, a pruning saw is a good option if you'll be cutting thicker plumeria branches, while a sharp knife would be ideal if you're pruning a younger, smaller plumeria plant. You can prevent the spread of harmful bacteria into the cuts by wiping the blade with rubbing alcohol before you start cutting as well as in between cuts. Plumeria is extremely tolerant to cutting, and it can be cut all the way back to a 12in (30cm) stem without harming the plant. Feel free to cut off any limbs or branches that are in your way or that you don't think look very good. The only way you can over-prune your plant is to cut it all the way to the ground. When you're getting ready to cut, locate the small knot at the base of a branch. This is the branch collar and is a part of the tree, and you should not cut it. Don't cut a limb in the middle of the branch; this is called topping and will not encourage new growth. Angling your cuts will help prevent standing water, which can promote the growth of fungus on the plumeria. The fungus leads to tip rot, which can eventually kill your plant. In addition to protecting the original plumeria plant, cutting the limbs at an angle will give them more surface area to grow roots if you're planning on propagating them. If you do notice water collecting on the tips, treat them with a fungicide.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cut a sample of the wood. Label your samples. Write a letter to the Center for Wood Anatomy Research. Package your wood samples and envelopes in a padded box or envelope. Wait six to eight weeks to receive word about your samples.

Answer: You can cut up to five samples of different woods each year that can be processed for free. Ensure each specimen is at least one by three by six inches (2.5 by 7.5 by 15 cm) in size. Place them in individual envelopes. Use letters one through five to label the samples, and then write a list of the samples for your records. This organization provides five identifications per year to US citizens. It will not provide identification for legal disputes. Send it to "Center for Wood Anatomy Research, USDA Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory, One Gifford Pinchot Dr., Madison, WI 53726-2398." If you need wood identified more quickly, you may be able to contact a local carpenter or wood-worker for a consultation.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick something appropriate for your guy and his problem. Encourage him to hang out with his male friends. Give him a change of scenery. Try a hug. Get him his favorite food to cheer him up. Play video games with him. Improvise.

Answer:
All guys are different, and all problems require different distractions. For one guy, pro football tickets may be the cure-all for anything, while for others it would be a huge waste of money and time. Likewise, If your guy is just grumpy after work and is really tired and hungry, just let him sit and eat for a while before worrying too much about what to do. He'll likely cheer up with a little unwinding time. More activities will likely make the problem worse. If something more serious is going on, or if your guy can't seem to find his own way out of the rut, plan something yourself instead of waiting. Don't ask "What do you feel like doing?" a million times until he gets irritated. Instead, just say, "I bought tickets to that movie. We're grabbing pizza before hand. Let's go." Your guy's guys may have dealt with his tantrums many more times than you have. Likewise, if he is having problems with your relationship, it may be good for him to get it out with his guy friends, instead of talking to you about it. That's a healthy part of a functional relationship. Plan something for him, if possible. Don't tell his friends the nitty gritty of what's exactly is happening to him. Say something vague like "John seems a little down. Want to come over for the game this Sunday?" If the guy doesn't really feel like talking, suggest an activity that gets you out of the house and gets him focused on something else. Even if it's not an activity that he's a huge fan of, like going grocery shopping, it's still good to get the attention focused elsewhere. Do some kind of chore you need to do together. Head to the store to pick up a few things and ask if he can come along to help. Don't require it, just ask. Find a good reason for him to come, like that you need help picking something out. Get his mind busy. Try little things, like going for a walk, or getting ice-cream. Even just seeing if there's anything fun on TV can be some kind of distraction. Cue up a dumb meme or puppy vid from the Internet, if necessary. A little physical contact is extremely useful in helping to cheer someone up. Hugs stimulate the release of oxytocin in the brain, which promotes contentment and reduces anxiety and stress. A little physical contact can go a long way. Warm touches to the upper back, and arm, are automatic charmers. It'll help ease the tension, and trigger endorphins to release, which ultimately will put him more at ease. If you're a couple and want to do more? Up to you. As grumpy as some men are on the outside, they want to be comforted and tended to, both emotionally and physically. If you know him well enough, you'll know what he likes, and what he doesn't. You know what they say about guys and their stomachs. If he loves chocolate-bacon, go get some at the store and surprise him. If you're tight on cash, whip up his favorite meal. Here are some useful dude-food meal options: Chicken and waffles Steak Reuben sandwich Biscuits and gravy Lasagna Pizza Is your guy a gamer? If you express an honest interest in something that he loves, he'll appreciate it a lot. Playing video games with him may help him to get his mind off his problems, even if it's just for a while, and help bring you closer together. You might even let him win a round or two. If your guy isn't a gamer, pick something that the loves and do it together. He's obsessed with horror flicks, or baseball games? Sit through one and daydream. It'll mean a lot to him. Cheering someone up is hard work, and not everyone reacts to it the same way. In general, it's good to just give it time, and tailor your approach to the specific guy and situation. Nobody's happy-go-lucky all the time, that's just the way it is.
