Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start by telling them how much they mean to you. Describe your situation as frankly and honestly as you can. Ease their discomfort by being yourself. Tell them how you are feeling. Ask them to be understanding of your struggles.

Answer: No one tires of being told how much someone else cares about them, so reiterating the importance of your friendship can help start this difficult discussion on a more positive note. Say something like "Karen, you've been my best friend for many years now, and honestly have become the sister I never had before. You've been there when I've needed you so many times, and now I need to share something important with you." No matter how close of a friend they are, you don't owe them any details that you don't wish to share. However, you should be crystal clear that you are dying. This helps overcome people's tendency to "hear what they want to hear"for instance, your friend might convince themselves that you only "might be dying." Try something along the lines of "Karen, my pancreatic cancer has returned, and I've consulted with my doctors and decided not to undergo any more treatments. I am going to die, probably within 2 months." There's a good chance your friend won't know how to respondthey may sit there in stunned silence. Assure them that it's okay for them to be themselves and express their feelings, because that's what you're doing too. You might say "I know this is hard for you to hear, and it was hard for me to share, Karen. But I'm still here, and I'm still me, and I want us to be able to talk openly like we always have. Don't try to shield your emotions in order to spare them from pain. Remember why they are such a good friend in the first placebecause you can share with them how you're feeling. Tell them something like "I've accepted that I'm dying, and I'm at peace with that realitymostly, anyway. Of course I get sad, scared, and angry thinking about it sometimes." You shouldn't feel like you have to apologize for the ways in which your impending death might affect your emotions and actions. That said, making your friend aware of this reality can clarify that you don't intend to withdraw from them, and in fact really want them to remain by your side. You could say "When I do feel down about the fact that I'm dying, I might want to be alone for a while, and I might not always answer your calls. But please keep calling, because I want and need you to still be part of my life."

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Measure your waist with a tape measure. Use calipers to measure body fat. Measure your bioelectrical impedance. Calculate your body mass index (BMI).

Answer: Measuring waist circumference with a tape measure also helps screen for possible health risks (mentioned above) that come with being overweight or obese. More specifically, if most of your fat is around your waist (termed belly fat) rather than lower at your hips, then you're at a higher risk for cardiovascular and various other diseases. To correctly measure your waist, stand up wearing just your underwear and place a tape measure around your lower abdomen, below your bellybutton and just above your hip bones. Breathe in and then measure your waist just after you fully breathe out. When measuring waist circumference, apply the tape so that it makes contact with the skin and conforms to the body, but does not compress the underlying soft tissues. Waist sizes greater than 35 inches for women and greater than 40 inches for men represent greater risk of disease. The U.S. Navy method incorporates waist, hip, and neck circumference along with height and weight to determine an estimation of body density and fat percentage. The caliper method (also called skinfold or pinch test) involves pulling your subcutaneous fat away from your muscles at certain points and pinching it with measuring calipers. These measurements are then converted to an estimated body fat percentage by an equation some formulas require only three body measurements, others require as many as seven. Although the caliper method doesn't give an accurate reading of actual body fat percentage, it's a reliable measure of body composition change over time if the test is done by the same person and technique (only a 3% error). Although, measurement error is higher for very lean and obese people. You can buy calipers and have a friend or family member measure you, or get the test done at a fitness club, health clinic or hospital. It's very important when doing the caliper test to use fixed pressure on all the points you measure. Ideally, have a trained professional do your skin caliper measurements to ensure accuracy. Skinfold-based body fat estimates depend somewhat on the type of caliper used and technique. As well, it measures only one type of fat: subcutaneous adipose tissue (fat under the skin). Bioelectrical impedance is a method of measuring the fat composition of your body, in comparison to other tissues, by its resistance to electricity. Fat tissue does not conduct electricity, whereas muscle and bone tissue do (albeit poorly). As such, you're measuring how low levels of electricity flow through your fat tissue versus the other tissues in your body. Bioelectrical impedance is reportedly about 95% accurate depending on your body's water content, which fluctuates with exercise, diet, sweating, hydration and use of alcohol or drugs. This method does not require specialized personnel and the equipment is not expensive to buy most gyms and physical therapy offices have them to use for free. You can either stand barefoot on metal plates that send an electrical current through your body (it looks similar to a regular weight scale), or grip a hand-held device (with both hands) that does the same thing. To get the most accurate results, don't eat or drink for 4 hours prior to testing; don't exercise vigorously within 12 hours; and no alcohol or diuretic (caffeine) consumption within 48 hours. BMI is a useful measure to determine if you're overweight or obese and at risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and other health problems. However, BMI is not the same as body fat percentage. It's calculated from your height and total body weight, so it's only a general estimate of disease risk. To obtain your BMI number, divide your weight (converted to kilograms) by your height (converted to meters). Higher numbers represent greater risk of disease. Normal BMI measurements range from 18.5 24.9; a BMI between 25 29.9 is considered overweight, whereas 30 and above is considered obese and at high risk.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Open YouTube's advanced settings page. Click your profile icon. Select a channel. Scroll down and click Delete channel. Enter your password. Click I want to permanently delete my content. Check the "The following will be permanently deleted" box. Click DELETE MY CONTENT. Enter your channel name or email address when prompted. Click DELETE MY CONTENT.

Answer:
Go to https://www.youtube.com/account_advanced in your web browser. This will open the advanced settings page for your default channel. If you aren't signed into YouTube, enter your email address and password when prompted. It's in the top-right corner of the window. A drop-down menu will appear. In the drop-down menu, click the name of the channel that you want to delete. It's at the bottom of the page. If you don't see this option, you'll need to delete your channel from your Google Account instead. When prompted, type in the password you use to log into your Google Account, then click NEXT below the password field. It's a heading in the middle of the page. Clicking it causes the heading to expand. This is near the bottom of the page. It's a blue button at the bottom of the page. Doing so prompts a pop-up window. If you're deleting a brand account, you'll type the channel name as specified by the prompt into the text box in the middle of the pop-up window, while you'll enter your email address if you're deleting a main account's channel. It's in the bottom-right corner of the pop-up window. Doing so removes the channel from your account. If you're deleting a primary account's channel, this will remove all content on your account including playlists, uploaded videos, and favorites. You'll still be able to log into and use YouTube with your account once the deletion is complete.
