In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you have high PTH levels from kidney disease or failure, lowering your phosphate intake in your diet can help control your PTH levels. However, it's important to discuss a specialized diet with a nutritionist, as your dietary needs may be different from another person with this disease. Foods that are high in phosphates include yogurt, soy milk, milk, enriched rice milk, ice cream, processed and hard cheeses, ricotta and cottage cheese, quick breads, lentils, beans, dried peas (like split or black-eyed), whole grains, processed meats, nut butters, chocolate, and cola. Better choices include non-enriched rice milk, swiss or cream cheese, sherbet, white bread, green peas, non-processed meats, pretzels, hard candy, or popcorn. For beverages, try sparkling water, lemon-lime soda, root beer, or ginger ale. Under the advice of your doctor, you may need to take calcium supplements. Your doctor may also just have you add more dairy to your diet. However, always discuss it with your doctor first, as they can determine how much you need. This treatment may also be beneficial for older patients who have increased PTH levels due to age. Similarly, if your vitamin D levels are low, your doctor may recommend getting more sunlight or adding a vitamin D supplement. Your doctor may even want to prescribe a high-dose of vitamin D, so discuss this option with your doctor.
Summary: Lower your phosphate intake by avoiding dairy and processed foods. Take calcium supplements if your doctor recommends it. Discuss vitamin D supplements if you have a deficiency.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Assault, abuse, threats, and even stalking are considered punishable criminal offenses. If you are being subjected to one of these forms of harassment, report your ex to the authorities immediately. They will keep an eye on your ex and even issue a restraining order. On the other hand, your ex may not be doing any physical or emotional harm, but simply hasn't accepted the break-up. If the latter is the case, there are steps you can take to make it more comfortable while they come to terms with the separation. A restraining order places restrictions on their interactions with you. If they violate the restraining order, they could be arrested. Many states have a legal distinction between civil harassment and domestic abuse. Domestic abuse is between close family members and people currently or formerly in a romantic relationship. Civil harassment is between 2 people who are not and have never been close family members or romantically involved. However, the illegal behavior is the same assault, abuse, threats, stalking, and other physically and emotionally harmful behaviors. Abuse can be physical or emotional. Hitting, shouting, and insults are examples of abuse. Broadly defined, it is harm done to you. Threats of abuse can be just as harmful emotionally. They can be expressed or simply implied. Pestering may just be repeated calls or emails to you. If your ex is simply calling you often to find out what you are thinking about them, it may not constitute harassment yet. If the harassment gets worse, you might change your mind to see the authorities. They will need to know some details about your ex's exact behaviors. Keeping track of them, even writing them down, is a good idea in case you feel their attempts at contacting you may turn violent. Who, what, when, where, and why these are basic details any authority figure will ask about up front. How often is it happening? Are you alone when they harass you? Have you told them that their advances are unwelcome? Is there hard evidence of their harassment? It may not be necessary to have criminal charges brought against them without physical evidence of harassment, but it would make it an open-and-shut case. It may seem obvious to you, but vocalizing your fear and discomfort to them may get them to stop. It is also the first step in legal recourse against their behavior. By establishing that you have told them to stop, their continued attempts at contacting or harming you become criminal offenses. For example, try telling them, "I know you only want to spend more time with me, but I your repeated calls make me uncomfortable. I want you to stop calling me for at least 2 weeks. I'll get in touch with you if I need you." Putting a time frame on it may make it an easier pill for them to swallow. After 2 weeks, or however long you see fit, they may not be as obsessed with you any more. Not all 'harassment' is criminal or violent. It may just be residual feelings of infatuation gasping for air. Go easy on them while they come to terms with the break up. There is no need to contact the police about someone who is causing no harm. For example, an ex may try to bring you lunch at work. It is unwanted behavior, but they are only bringing you food. Remove yourself and your relationship from the story, and see their behavior in its most basic form. ' Imagine there are impartial bystanders witnessing or listening to your ex's potentially abusive actions. Would they feel alarmed or contact an authority? If so, your ex's actions may be criminally punishable. It is important to figure out if they are a threat to your safety as soon as possible so you can contact the police before you get hurt. For example, imagine your last face-to-face. Did they raise their voice or act physically imposing, or imply future abuse? Did they use unfriendly language? If not, they may not be interested in taking their attempt to win you back any farther than asking you what they did wrong.
Summary: Differentiate between criminal harassment and pestering. Keep track of your ex's behavior. Tell them their behavior is unwelcome. Recognize when they are not trying to harm you. Do the 'reasonable person test.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: " In pilish, the number of letters in each word stands for the corresponding number in pi. For example, "May I have a large container of coffee beans" = 314159265 in pilish. In 1996, Mike Keith wrote a short story called "Cadaeic Cadenza" in which some 3800 digits of pi were encoded. Keith also developed a method of using words longer than 10 letters to represent sequences of numbers. A piem is a poem that encodes pi in its words, using the pilish method. Typically, they rhyme for the purposes of memorization and have titles of three letters, representing the 3 that begins pi. A piem: Now I will a rhyme construct, / By letter count, the young instruct. / Cunningly devised endeavors, / Con it and remember ever. / Widths in circle here you see, / Sketched out in strange obscurity. Many schoolyard mnemonics have developed over the years to help memorize the first several digits of pi: Cosine, secant, tangent, sine / Three point one four one five nine. This mnemonic relies on using the rhythm and pattern to recall the memorized numbers. Lots of other memorization songs use the same technique: "If numbers had a heaven / their God would surely be / 3.14159 / 26535." The ABC tune, aka "Baa-Baa Black Sheep," aka "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star": 3 1 4 1 5 9 2 / 6 5 3 5 8 9 / 7 9 3 2 3 8 4 / 6 2 6 4 3 3 8 / 3 2 7 9 5 0 2 / 8 8 4 1 9 7 1 Try writing your own song or rhyme to help yourself remember. Derivatives of the major system are used by some of the best mnemonists in the world. This extraordinarily complex technique involves substituting each digit or group of digits for a corresponding word that is phonetically similar, and eventually building a story or a series of linkages out of those words.
Summary:
Write out sentences in "pilish. Write poems in pilish. Rhyme to memorize. Try learning the major system.
