Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand the purpose of a life estate. Examine the benefits of a life estate. Consider the drawbacks of a life estate.

Answer: A life estate usually refers to a transaction related to property, such as a home, where the homeowner sells or gives the property to their children (or someone else) but maintains the right to live in the house until they die. The person who sells their home but maintains a life interest is referred to as the "life tenant." The person(s) who will receive the house upon the death of the life tenant is called the "remainderman." There are several reasons why a person may create a life estate. These include: The homeowner wants to avoid probate for their children. By creating a life estate, the property avoids probate and the remainderman immediately becomes the owner of the property upon the life tenant's death. The property receives a step-up in basis. This means that when the government calculates capital gains taxes, value is calculated from the date of death, not from the date the original party acquired the property. Typically, there will be a greater increase in value from the date the property was acquired and therefore the tax owed on a property when sold would be much higher. By establishing a life estate, a parent could significantly reduce the amount of capital gains that a child has to pay. A life estate may also be useful to qualify for medical assistance such as Medicaid, which limits the amount of assets you can own if you want support to pay a nursing home. The legal rules involving Medicaid are very complicated and you should contact a trust and estates attorney or an elder law attorney to assist you in making this determination. Before entering into a life estate, it is important for you to understand and weigh the drawbacks of a life estate against any potential benefits. These drawbacks may include: Selling property subject to a life estate is very difficult. While you maintain the right to live in the home, when you enter a life estate, you give up your right to sell or mortgage your home without the consent of all remaindermen. If the remaindermen refuse to agree to a sale, you are unable to sell the property. A remainderman's legal problems could impact the property. Since the remainderman has a legal interest in the property, if they run into financial trouble, a lien could be placed on the property while the life tenant is still alive. While the claims may impact the property, a life tenant cannot be forced to leave the property. A life estate may impact your ability to receive medical assistance to pay for nursing home care or in-home care. If you grant a life estate, you may be restricted or ineligible from receiving government assistance through Medicaid for up to five years.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Mix the tomatoes and sugar. Boil the tomatoes. Stir in the spices. Cook until thickened.

Answer: To start, get a large pot. Mix the tomatoes and sugar together in the pot until the tomatoes are evenly coated in sugar. Then, allow them to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Place your pot over medium-high heat. Bring the tomatoes to a boil while stirring them on occasion. Once your tomatoes are boiling, boil them for about 15 minutes while stirring them on occasion. After 15 minutes, add the salt, pepper, and paprika. Keep stirring your mixture until everything is evenly dispersed. Keep boiling your mixture while stirring until the mixture is reduced to about 2 cups. Once the mixture is reduced, you can store your jam in into a heated 1-pint jar. After sealing the jars, boil the jar in water for about 20 minutes before storing your jam.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Calculate descriptive statistics. Compare the post-test results produced by the experimental and control groups. Test your hypothesis. Evaluate your experiment.

Answer: These are statistics that allow you to communicate your data effectively. They provide information about the properties of the data you've produced and allow your readers to understand important things about it from a single glance.When you say, for example, that on average people who received the medicine got better 1.7 days sooner, you are presenting descriptive statistics. What is the central tendency of the data? Central tendency is measured using mean (average), median, or mode. For example, in a study on the effects of caffeine on sleep, you will want to calculate the mean number of hours slept by members of the control and experimental groups. What is the distribution of the data? Again, there are many different ways to measure how the data are distributed, including range, variance, and standard deviation. In addition, if available, compare pre-test and post-test results. To do this, you will need to conduct a statistical analysis of your data. While this is a broad subject, you can make a good start by calculating basic descriptive statistics and by running a t-test to assess if differences observed are significant. Tests of significance will allow you to estimate how likely it is that your results were produced by chance rather than a genuine experimental effect. It determines whether there is a statistically significant difference between the results for the control and experimental groups. A t-test is a common test of significance. A t-test compares the difference between the means of two sets of data in relation to the variation within the data. You can calculate a t-test by hand or by using statistical software such as Microsoft Excel. What limits were there on your ability to control possible extraneous factors? To what extent did your subject group reflect the larger population you hoped to study? What alternative hypotheses could be sustained on the basis of your data? When presenting your results, consider limitations honestly and use them to suggest further lines of research.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get a new razor. Men, purchase a badger brush. Use shaving cream with aloe or other ingredients intended for sensitive skin. Apply hydrocortisone cream or salve after shaving. Put on lotion after shaving.

Answer:
Using a dull razor causes unnecessary irritation to skin under all conditions. Instead of gliding across your skin, a dull razor drags, which causes more irritation. Imagine it chipping away at your skin -- no thank you! You can reuse your razor a few times if you take good care of it. Make sure to wash it after every swipe. Don't leave it wet though, as water can erode at the metal, too. Clean it with rubbing alcohol to kill all the bacteria for extra precaution. You may think lathering up is all you need do, but a badger brush really works in your shaving cream to the hairs, resulting in a cleaner, smoother shave. You may also want to look into a safety razor. It's a single blade that provides a clean cut. The blades are cheap, too! Wait until halfway through your bath or shower to apply the shaving cream. Allow it to sit on your skin for at least 3 minutes to soften the hairs. The aloe and other ingredients in the shaving cream create a surface that yields a smoother shave with less irritation. Gentlemen, you may be better off with your girlfriend's shaving cream. Products marketed toward women's legs are often a bit more hydrating and skin-softening. You can handle a pink can, right? Do this immediately after shaving to reduce the sting and redness caused by your razor. The salve works to soothe the skin and heal any irritation. Refrain from using hydrocortisone cream daily. Regular application causes skin to become used to it, which reduces its effectiveness. Regular use can cause skin to thin. Use a moisturizing, unscented, unperfumed lotion on the shaved area. Lotions reduce the impact of dry skin that results from shaving, which causes many skin irritation symptoms. Bag Balm (available at places like Wal-Greens or CVS) is a great product for all things skin-hydrating. In reality, apply lotion all the time, not just after shaving.
