Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Dress correctly to enter a mosque. Wear the right clothes to restaurants or bars. Wear the right clothes when working out. Wear the right swimwear.

Answer: If you want to go inside a mosque, there are very strict rules for your entrance. You might not be allowed in the mosque in the first place if you are a non-Muslim. You might be provided with clothing you can put over your clothes, called an abaya for a woman and kandourah for men. You will be asked to remove your shoes. Women must cover the hair and entire body. Men don't have to cover the hair but should not wear shorts or sleeveless shirts. Many upscale restaurants, especially those that sell alcohol, will require men to wear covered shoes and long trousers. For women, it's a good idea not to show cleavage or thighs, although sandals are fine. The dress code is generally looser at nightclubs or bars. Malls have signs instructing customers to cover their shoulders and knees. You may need to know what to wear to the gym or while running. You can wear normal workout gear in a hotel or private gym. When running outside, wear longer shorts and a lightweight top if you are male. Women can get away with wearing running leggings as long as they go past the knee. It's allowed to wear bikinis and swimsuits around pools or when you are at the beach, but there are some limitations. Don't wear thong swim suit bottoms. Change your swimwear before you leave the pool or beach area and, say, go into a store. It's a violation of the dress code to wear wet swimsuits under clothing if the clothing then becomes see through. Topless sunbathing is not allowed in Dubai; in fact, it's illegal. Choosing a one-piece swimming suit is probably a good idea. At public beaches, wearing a T-shirt and shorts is a better idea.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make sure the cage is large enough. Select a cage with bars the right distance apart to prevent escape or injury. Choose a square or rectangular cage. Provide plenty of perches. Be sure your bird can't open the door. Keep your bird well fed and hydrated. Provide a birdbath or mist your bird. Make sure toys are safe and changed frequently. Cover the birdcage at night.

Answer: It should be at least 1.5 times your bird's adult wingspan in width, depth, and height, so as to allow your bird to move freely. Bigger is even better. For a list of suggested cage sizes by bird, see bird-cage.com. In general: The minimum height should be 3 times the length from head to tail of the bird. There should be at least 2 wing beats between perches. Your bird should be able to turn around on his perch without his tail feathers hitting the cage. Even small birds require large cages. Two finches, for instance, require 3-4 square feet of space, so they will have room to fly around. Your bird should not be able to put its head between the bars. Appropriate bar widths are: Under " For small birds such as finches, canaries, parrotlets, parakeets, and lovebirds 1/2" to 3/4" For medium birds such as cockatiels, conures, lories, and senegals 3/4" to 1-1/4" For large birds such as African greys, Amazons, macaws, and cockatoos Adding more corners decreases the flight area and makes the cage less safe. A long low cage is better than a narrow high one (such as a parrot cage) because it allows the birds to fly and glide. Your bird will spend most of its time standing, so having an adequate number of perches is vital to your bird's health and happiness. For most birds, you will want to provide a natural branch perch and a manmade perch, one near the food and water and another near the toys, as well as a concrete perch elsewhere in the cage. Be sure to avoid plastic perches, which can cause problems if eaten, and sandpaper perches, which can scratch your bird's feet. Concrete perch These solid perches provide a good place for birds to groom. They should be set away from food, water and toys. Natural branch perch These are better than wooden dowels because their uneven shape means the bird will put pressure on different parts of its feet each time it perches. Choose branches from orchard wood trees such as apple, plum, pear, but not cherry. Cut the branch to fit the cage, scrub and clean it with detergent, and let it dry in the sun. Next, heat the branch for 45 minutes in a 200F oven to kill any insects. Allow to cool before placing it in your bird's cage. Manmade perch Untreated cotton rope makes for a good perch, as it is toxin free and can be easily washed. Your bird will spend countless hours trying to open the door to its cage, so the door had better be escape-proof. If you are worried that your bird might escape, you can use a padlock, clip, or small carabiner to secure the door. Double-check your bird's seed and water supply daily, especially if a child is in charge of caring for the bird. If using a water bottle, check to be sure that it is unclogged and working properly. Three days without water is enough to kill most birds. Birds need to bathe regularly to keep their feathers and skin healthy. Always use room temperature water, as hot water will strip essential oils from your bird's feathers. If you put a birdbath in your bird's cage, make sure to clean it and change the water daily. Alternately, you can mist your bird with a spray bottle once or twice a week. Some birds like to wash in the sink or even in the shower. Your bird will chew on its toys, so make sure they are not made from wood treated with toxic chemicals or soft plastic that you bird can swallow. Be sure to rotate toys at least once a week to keep your bird stimulated, as boredom can lead to health problems in your bird. You can use a cover designed for the cage, though an old sheet or pillowcase also works fine. Covering your bird's cage keeps out drafts and allows the bird to sleep even when you are up late with the lights on. Birds need at least 10 hours of sleep a night, so providing a dark, quiet area for your bird at night is important to prevent sleep deprivation.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be a good host. Make sure their needs are met. Take them to the "go to" spots. Don't forget to give them their privacy. Don't be too pushy. Give them plans for stuff to do alone. Fill your home with things that can keep them entertained without your help.

Answer:
Being a good host is not a skill that comes naturally to everyone. A good host is able to be attentive to the needs of his or her guests without overwhelming them. You want to be able to anticipate your guests' needs without stepping on their toes too much. You should be friendly, welcoming, and helpful and to make sure that your guests feel literally at home (without crowding you too much, of course!). Here are some things you can do to be a good host: Take your guests' coats when they walk in and tell them where to put their shoes. Carry their luggage. Give your guests a quick tour so they know where the kitchen, bathroom, and everything else is located. Be accommodating. Give your guests a place to sleep, pillows, blankets, towels, or anything else they may need to comfortably stay at your home. While you don't want them to walk all over you, you also have elected to open up your home to them. A big aspect of being a good host to guests at your home is to making sure their needs are met. Many guests may be too shy about telling you what they really want and need, and it's up to you to ask them so that they feel comfortable. While you don't want to constantly annoy them, you don't want to be so aloof that they're afraid of asking, either. Here are some things you can ask your guests to make sure their needs are met: Offer your guests a glass of water or a beverage. They may be too shy to ask for what they really need. If an old friend is coming to town and you both like splitting a bottle of wine now and again, then have one ready to go when your guest arrives. Make sure they don't go hungry. While you don't want to be pushy, you also should make sure that your guests are well fed. They may not admit that they are hungry at first, so make sure you have a few food options available for any mealtime. Keep a plate of snacks, such as trail mix, crackers, fruit, or anything else that isn't perishable out so your guests have something to munch on. Ask if they need towels, shampoo, or anything else for showering. Let them know what they can and can not use. Prepare the right foods in advance. It never hurts to ask your guests what they like for breakfast, if they have any allergies, or if there's any snack they absolutely love before they stay with you, so you're prepared with something they like and don't get stuck running any grocery errands. If guests have come out of town to visit you, then you should probably show them around the neighborhood. You may not be a fan of the touristy spots in your hometown, or don't think there's much worth seeing, but if your guests came all the way out to visit you, then you should at least make an effort to show them around. Take a minute to think about the top destinations that people should see in your hometown, whether it's the Statue of Liberty or the famous little jazz cafe on the other side of town. Make sure your guests see at least a few of these places so you can put your good hosting into practice. Okay, so if you live in Manhattan and don't feel like waiting in line for three hours to go up the Empire State Building, then you can at least guide your guests there and wait it out at a Starbucks next door until the deed is done. You don't want to leave them completely hanging, especially not at first. The top spots could be famous or quirky restaurants, landmarks, statues, unique stores, ocean views, or really anything your hometown is known for. Of course, the "go to" spots don't just have to be tourist traps. Take your guests to your favorite parts of your home, even if you just go to your favorite bar or restaurant. Show them what you love about living where you live. Though it's important to be a good host, to offer up your home, and to ask your guests questions to get a sense of how they're feeling, it's also important to give them some space, especially if they are staying with you for a few days. You shouldn't barge in on their rooms or into the area where they're sleeping without knocking or announcing yourself, and you shouldn't plan to be around your guest 24/7, unless that's really what the other person wants. It can be a little claustrophobic to be a guest in another person's home, and you should be understanding of the fact that your guest may want to be left alone, at times. Many people need time to unwind, especially after a long day of travel or a long trip to look at landmarks or tourist sites. You should give your guests some time to decompress, even if you are really excited that they're with you. This goes along with giving your guests their space. You don't want to be the person who asks a question so many times that the person you're asking is forced to say yes. If your guest insists that he's really not hungry more than once, you can leave him alone and say that there's a lasagna waiting in the fridge if he wants it. You don't want your guests to feel like they have to say yes when they're not up for something just to please you. Your guests may have a certain idea about how they want to spend their visit with you. If you ask them to do something, like going to the pool or a waterpark, and they really don't seem into it, you shouldn't push it unless you really think it's what they do want and that they're saying no just because it's too much trouble. If you want to entertain your guests, then you should also plan for taking a break from, well, entertaining. Unless your guests expect you to be around 24/7 provided that's what you want to do you should come up with a list of things for them to do while you're at work, resting, or just doing your own thing. This could include places to grab lunch solo or a list of tourist attractions, such as museums or gardens, if you live in a place that's full of them. Being prepared for this in advance would save you from feeling like you have to be there every second of the day. If you can't come up with anything for your guest to do without you, you may have to hang out with him or her instead of getting some down time. It can also help a lot to keep your home full of activities that your guests can do without you so you don't feel compelled to entertain every waking second. If there are kids involved, you can have some video games, markers and paper for drawing, or action figures available for them. If your guests are adults, you can have some gossip or more highbrow magazines around, a boxed set of a TV show, or an album of photos for your guests to look through. Having something that will do the entertaining for you can help you in a pinch when you need thirty minutes to fold laundry and can't think of anything for your guests to do. Having board games or other activities such as Twister or Monopoly around can also help you find something fun to do with your guests.
