Article: The more acidic and sugary your saliva becomes, the more difficult it is for drugs to be detected in it. So, if you only have 510 minutes before you'll be given a mandatory drug swab test, pop in 2 or 3 sour citrus candies. Suck them (rather than chewing) to get as much of the acidic citrus flavoring out of the candies as you can! Chewing on a piece of gum stimulates your saliva production, which will dilute the concentration of any drugs in your saliva. Chewing gum will also change the chemical makeup of your oral fluids, which can make the mouth swab test less effective. If you have a choice between different flavors, opt for a cinnamon or strong citrus flavors. It wouldn't be a bad idea to carry a pack of gum with you to work on a daily basis if you're concerned about surprise swab tests. Peroxide is what's known as an "adulterant": a chemical that interferes with the swab test's ability to accurately detect drugs in your saliva. Take a gulp of peroxide just before your test, and swish it around inside your mouth for 30 seconds. Then spit it out into the sink. Be careful not to accidentally swallow any of the peroxide. It's can cause internal harm if ingested. Avoid using alcohol-based mouthwashes, though, as they can lead to a false positive result for alcohol abuse.

Suck sour candies to make your saliva more acidic. Chew a couple of pieces of gum to increase your saliva production. Rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide 5 minutes before the test.
Article: Make sure your feet are together with your toes pointed forward. Raise your arms straight up into the air above your head. The straight jump is a fairly basic jump that is safe to do at home. It will help you to strengthen your legs, improve your cardiovascular endurance, and learn to keep your balance. While you are unlikely to hurt yourself doing this jump, you could still potentially twist your ankle or fall. While you squat, simultaneously swing your arms back behind you. Make sure your arms are as far back as they can go while you reach the lowest part of your squat. Don't go so far down as to lose your balance, but spread your arms to the side if you need to. Push off of your feet and extend your legs. You will return to your original position with straight legs and upper body, but now you will be airborne. As you pop upward like a spring, swing your arms back up over your head for added momentum. Gymnasts coined this phrase to describe a method of landing on their feet that absorbs the shock and prevents injuries. To do this, land with your legs apart and knees slightly bent. Hold your arms out for balance. In a perfectly stuck landing, your feet should not move at all.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Stand up straight. Begin your jump by bending your knees. Spring up into the air. Stick the landing.
Article: Visiting the venue prior to the wedding will allow you to get your bearings. Take some test shots to see how the lighting looks, and look for any especially picturesque spots. You should also attend the rehearsal dinner, if possible. This will help prepare you for the big day, and gives you another opportunity to get some great shots. Sometimes, you'll need to move things along to make sure the wedding stays on schedule. If the family wants to take endless photos before the reception, but there simply isn't enough time, it's alright to kindly tell them so. Say something like, "We've already taken a lot of photos, and I think they turned out well, but now it's time for the couple to head to the reception." Known as "Uncle Bobs" in the industry, these are guests who threaten to ruin wedding photos by standing in the way, often holding Ipads or cameras of their own. If such a guest is in the way of one of your shots, politely ask them to move. Try saying something like, "Can you please move a bit to the side? I can't see the bride, and I want these photos to turn out well for the couple. Thank you!" You'll get the best photos when people feel relaxed around you. Be friendly and warm. Strike up conversations with the wedding guests. You'll be rewarded with more natural-looking photos. While your photos should focus on the people at the wedding, don't forget to photograph the little details, like a champagne glass on a table, or the wedding cake. While they may be small, these details can make a huge difference. Always back up your photos on another disc drive. This will ensure you don't lose all of your hard work, and will give you peace of mind. Bring extra cameras and lenses on your trip. If anything goes wrong with your primary camera on the wedding day, you'll need to be prepared. The job of a wedding photographer can be pretty physically demanding. You might be carrying up to twelve pounds of photography gear for eight to ten hours on the wedding day. Wear comfortable shoes on the job, and see a doctor for any aches and pains. You might need to hire a helper to carry some of your gear.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Visit the venue before the wedding. Be mindful of timing. Be aware of problematic wedding guests. Be friendly. Don't forget to photograph the details. Back up your work. Carry spare equipment. Take care of your body.
