Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Eat every 2 to 3 hours. Do not let yourself get too hungry. Eat smaller portions. Snack on shelled foods.

Answer: Waiting long periods between eating can leave you feeling starved. If you're extra hungry, you're more likely to wolf down food. Instead of eating 3 large meals a day, make a point of eating a small meal every 2 to 3 hours. Make sure to be aware of calories. If you're eating every 2 to 3 hours, you need to keep the caloric content of your meals lighter than you would when eating 3 meals a day. In addition to helping you eat more slowly, this can rev up your metabolism. If you end up starving by the end of the day, you're likely to binge eat. If your stomach is growling and you're feeling extreme hunger pangs, you've let yourself go too long between meals. When you feel a small amount of hunger building, start planning on what to eat. Strive to have a snack within the next half hour or so. Small portions can force you to savor your food and eat more slowly. Work on being aware of serving sizes. Strive to eat nutrient dense meals in smaller portions. Make sure to read nutrition labels. This will give you the idea of an actual serving size. A bag of chips may say it's only 150 calories, but the serving size may be half the bag. Use small visual cues to determine portion size. A serving of carbohydrates is about the size of a hockey puck. A serving of protein should be no bigger than a deck of cards. If you feel hungry between meals, have a snack. Stick to something like peanuts or pistachios. If you have to open the shell of a food to eat it, you will have to slow the pace of your eating. Be careful, however, when eating nuts. They tend to be high in calories. You can also try eating foods that you eat one at a time. For example, snack on blueberries but don't eat them in handfuls. Focus on one blueberry at a time.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Respect the process. Seek review from peers involved in different projects. Write a critique checklist. Accept feedback from your peers politely. Critique structure, clarity, and logic, not the writer.

Answer: Though it might seem tiresome to you, having to slog through the report of another at the direction of your instructor, offering feedback and comments, this is an important part of the process. It is so important, in fact, that academic papers are rarely accepted until thoroughly peer-reviewed. Many academic papers are reviewed 3 times by 3 sets of reviewers before they are published. Take constructive criticism for your lab report if you plan to pursue a career in academics. This is especially important if you are working with a group on a lab. Each member of the group, being a part of the lab, will likely be unable to critique the report objectively. You might also make use of your campus writing center, if available. Here you can have a fresh set of eyes assess the quality of your report. Though not necessary, you can help your reviewer do the best job possible by providing him with a checklist of key points. For example, if you have a tendency to use too much jargon, you might include, "clear jargon" in your critique checklist. Other items you might want to highlight for your reviewer: Title/abstract logical, understandable, and eye-catching? All relevant questions answered in the introduction? Overall structure of sections and subsections meaningful? Is there a logical flow of information? Differences between related/past work apparent? Technical sections intelligible? Figures/tables explained properly? Use of terminology clear? Symbols defined appropriately? Results explained properly? Technical holes/flaws? Potential problems or alternatives? In some cases, you might have a difference of opinion from your reviewer. In other cases, your reviewer might give weak, questionable, or incorrect feedback. In still other cases, a reviewer can save you from making a critical error! Remember that your reviewer is taking time out of his day to read your report, and express your gratitude for his feedback. It can be easy to get carried away when making critique. Reviewers may even get frustrated with the state of a report, which can lead to personal comments. This can be offensive, and defeats the purpose of the peer review process, which is to improve the report, not make enemies. Try to keep your comments as impersonal as possible. Locate specific elements that can be isolated, targeted, and improved. While taking feedback from a peer, take the comments on their technical merit and avoid being defensive.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Shop for smartphones online. Pay for your phone in monthly installments. Buy a last-generation or "mid-range" phone from manufacturers.

Answer: Online retailers will often offer phones for far lower costs than brick-and-mortar stores or major carriers. Examples of popular websites to purchase smartphones include Amazon, Flipkart, and eBay. These websites offer immense selection and have convenient search features. When searching online, use the features you know you want to help narrow your results. For instance, most sites will allow you to use filters to narrow it down to phones that contain a specified amount of storage with a camera above a certain number of megapixels. Check the website's return policy before purchasing a phone online. Do not buy from a website that does not accept returns or that charges a restocking fee. Whether you buy your smartphone online or in person, you can likely pay off the cost in monthly installments. This will allow you to prevent paying a large lump sum upfront. Note that many retailers will allow you to pay off your phone in installments without signing a service contract. This is different from major carriers, which have business models that revolve around locking your into a contract. Avoid interest if possible. If interest is charged on the amount you owe each month, you'll wind up paying more for your phone in the end. Even online retailers like eBay offer ways to purchase a phone on installments. The website's BillMeLater option allows you to make monthly payment, though it does cost interest. Amazon offers installment payment plans for Amazon products only. The expensive smartphones you see advertisements for aren't the only ones available. In fact, phone manufacturers are making more and more high quality phones for more affordable prices. Some mid-range, or "affordable flagship" phones aren't even available on contracts and can only be purchased online, directly from the manufacturer. Last generation phones can usually be purchased from all sorts of retailers, including major carriers. These are often much cheaper than the newest models, and may not differ substantially. For instance, the newer model may have a better camera, but if this isn't important to you, the last generation may be a better choice. Websites like GottaBeMobile keep track of the best deals, but they don't sell the phones directly.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash your dreadlocks regularly. Take care of your scalp. Freshen your locks with essential oils. Avoid conditioners and similar products.

Answer:
Contrary to popular misconceptions, dreadlocks require washing just as much as other hairstyles. You should aim to shampoo and roll your dreadlocks every three or four days when they're new. Once they've fully locked up, you can get by washing them once a week, or more often depending on your hair type and the amount of oil your scalp tends to produce. Most people who wear dreadlocks wash them at least once a week. If you have particularly oily hair, or if you exercise, work outside, get dirty or sweat a lot, you may benefit from more frequent washings. You can still bathe regularly between washings without having to shampoo your locks. Dreadlocks put a lot of weight on the scalp as they get heavier and pull. It's essential that you keep your scalp clean and moisturized in addition to your locks themselves. Whenever you're cleaning your locks, take a few moments to massage your scalp vigorously with your fingertips. This promotes proper blood flow and will strengthen the follicles, meaning you won't have to worry about your locks becoming brittle or falling out. Itching and discomfort can be a sign that your scalp or roots are in poor condition. As your hair grows, keep your dreadlocks waxed and twisted to tighten up the new growth close to the scalp. Use a couple drops of tea tree, peppermint or rosemary oil along with your shampoo, or treat your locks with them separately. Essential oils moisturize, cut down on itchiness and irritation around the scalp and leave your hair smelling pleasant. They are far preferable to perfumes, spray-in fragrances and scented cleansers, as they won't damage your locks or leave behind any residue. Just a hint of essential oils can combat the "dirty hair" smell that naturally accumulates on thick dreadlocks. Conditioners are designed to soften and detangle hair, which is the last thing you want if you have a head full of dreads. In general, there should be no reason to condition your dreadlocks. You should also be cautious about any other products that contain oils, waxes or knot-fighting agents. Regular use of these products can damage the structure of your dreadlocks and make them much harder to maintain. A good residue-free shampoo, and optionally pure aloe gel and salt-water tightening spray should be all you need to keep your dreadlocks clean and looking great. For dry scalp or dreads, very light applications of coconut oil will help moisturize without conditioning.
