Write an article based on this "Understand how a polygraph works. Try not to overthink the test beforehand. Take care of your body the night and day before. Complete any forms given to you. Tell the examiner about any conditions or medications you take. Review the questions and take your time understanding them. Find out which test form will be used."
article: A polygraph cannot detect a lie, per se, but it does track physiological changes in your body, like your blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and perspiration, thereby detecting physiological conditions that occur when you lie. Once you arrive for the appointment, the equipment and process will be reviewed. It does not hurt to familiarize yourself with the basics on your own, but avoid polygraph horror stories posted on the Internet, since these will only make you more nervous than you need to be. If you spend too much time worrying about the polygraph test before you take it, you run the risk of skewing the test against your favor by finding things to condemn yourself on needlessly. To avoid worrying yourself unnecessarily, do not ask anyone who has taken a polygraph what it was like, do not spend time soul-searching before the test, and do not try to anticipate which questions will be asked. Try to avoid spending too much time reviewing anti-polygraph websites, since these websites often mix fact with hyped-up conspiracies and may cause undue panic. You need to be comfortable during the polygraph in order to provide accurate physiological responses. In order to be comfortable, you need to make sure that you are well-rested and feeling as physically cozy as possible. Follow your usual routine as accurately as possible. Even if your routine includes activities that affect your heart rate, like drinking caffeinated coffee or going for a morning run, you should follow your routine since your body has trained itself to run on those physiological conditions. Try to get seven or eight hours of sleep the night before the test. Make sure that you are not hungry and that you have loose, comfortable clothes on. Depending on the reason for the polygraph, you might have security clearance forms to fill out or forms requiring your authorization. Take your time on these forms. Read through them carefully and sign your name only when ready. If you are currently ill, the examiner may want you to reschedule the test. Certain drugs, like blood pressure medication, can also affect the results, so you should let the examiner know about those, as well. Illness can make you feel uncomfortable, thereby skewing the results. If you take prescription medications, you should continue taking them as prescribed by your doctor before the test. Contrary to popular belief, most anti-depressant medications cannot alter a polygraph and allow you to "beat" it. You should still tell your examiner about these medications, if applicable, since they can produce abnormal results. The polygraph examiner is required to tell you the questions ahead of time. Take all the time you need reviewing them, and feel free to ask the examiner for clarification about uncertain or confusing questions. You must ask for clarification about questions before the test. In most cases, you will not be permitted to do so during the test. In fact, your answers will be limited to "yes" and "no" during the polygraph exam itself, so any discussion you need to have about the test questions must take place before the test itself. The standard polygraph test is the CQT, or "Control Question Test." In some instances, however, you may be given a "Directed Lie Test" (DLT) or "Guilty Knowledge Test" (GKT) instead. With a CQT polygraph, control questions will be mixed in among the relevant questions. A control question is one that nearly everyone will need to reply "yes" to, even though many people will be tempted to reply "no." Such questions include ones like, "Have you ever told a lie to your parents?" or "Have you ever stolen or borrowed something without permission?" With a DLT, you will be asked several questions by the examiner and directly asked to lie about those questions. In doing so, the examiner can gauge your physiological responses to lying by reviewing the questions he or she knew you lied on. For a GKT, you will be asked multiple choice questions about various facts that only you and the examiner would know. Many of these questions will be about the case. Your verbal responses will be compared to your physiological responses.

article: When reviewing an agent's credentials, look for someone who's been working in sales, negotiations, and contracts for at least five years, preferably in real estate or property management. Five years experience and a regular stream of transactions means an agent likely has a good feel for the process and can help find you the best deals. Agents with less experience can still be a good choice if they know you and the area well, especially if they demonstrate a great work ethic and strong customer service skills. The agent you work with should know the area in which you're looking to buy or sell. Agents who live and work in your area will be aware of the best neighborhoods and trends regarding prices. A local agent will also know small details, like where the best schools are, commute times, and so on. Obviously, you want an agent who's properly licensed. Every state should have a list of licensed agents online. While making a list of agents to contact, check to ensure every agent you interview has a legal license to buy and sell real estate in your state. You can also see the continuing education classes they are taking which will help you to know what their focus is. Check a real estate's website and resume for awards, honors, and other signs of recognition. Things like a "Realtor of the Year" award can be a sign of a quality agent who's likely to exceed your personal needs. However, realize that it may also indicate a very busy Realtor who may not be the right choice if you'd like more individual attention and you may need to base your decision on other indicators. If you know someone who recently bought or sold a home, reach out to them. Friends and family members are likely to give you honest assessments of their experience with a particular agent. However, be cautious about choosing an agent ONLY because a friend or family member recommended them. Your real estate needs and what you desire in a Realtor may be different so make sure you understand what exactly your friends or family's objectives were and what specifically they liked about their Realtor. Ask about any hesitations the person has recommending the agent as well. This way, you'll get a sense if the agent has any major flaws that would be a deal breaker for you.

Write an article based on this "Use a comma after your closing. Sign your name after skipping a line. Add a postscript if you forgot something in your letter."
article:
With any closing, you'll usually include a comma directly after it. If it's something emphatic, you can use an exclamation point instead. For instance, you would write your closing like one of the following examples: Love, Stay safe, Affectionately, Stay as you are! Leave a blank line between the closing and your signature. Since you're sending it to a friend, just your first name is usually fine for a signature. You can also use a nickname if the person usually calls you by it. Postscripts, indicated by a "P.S" after your signature, were originally a way to include something in a handwritten letter that you'd forgotten. You can't just go back and add something because there's no space. However, they're even used in typed letters and emails nowadays, as a way to add a little fact or fun directive. For example, you might write, "P.S. You'd better write me back goofball!" if your friend isn't great about sending mail back. Alternatively, you could try, "P.S. I hope this letter gets there before I do!"
