Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Reflect upon your motivations. Identify your strengths. Identify your weaknesses. Decide if you're up for the task. Ask those you trust for a character assessment. Prepare for the long-haul. Choose a cause about which you're passionate.

Answer: Maybe you've been thinking about running for office for some time, or maybe your friends, family, coworkers or teachers have suggested that you'd be great as a leader. Before you decide to commit to running a campaign, you should spend some careful time reflecting upon desire to run for office. Ask yourself the following questions: Why do you want this? Do you want the recognition and the prestige that will come with being elected, or do you want to represent and serve a particular group of people? Why? If you decide to run, you'll be asked to articulate your reasons for wanting the position, so you need to be clear on them yourself from the get-go. Why do you think that you'd be the best person for the job? What are your personal strengths? For example, are you passionate and knowledgeable about the related issues? Are you energetic or are you able to connect well with other people? You want to be able to explain what sets you apart from the other candidates and be able to explain how you'll be capable of serving well. What do you struggle with? For example, do you find it hard to manage competing projects? Will this be a hindrance to your ability to run a campaign or to perform the responsibilities of the position? Just as you ought to be aware of your strengths, you'll need to be aware of your weaknesses, so that you can compensate for them or correct them completely. Do you have the time and energy to both campaign and to eventually do the job, if you are elected? You'll also need to be certain that you can devote yourself completely to the tasks of running and (hopefully) serving, and you'll need to be able to convince your team and your constituents that you are up for the challenge. Before deciding to campaign, you should start by self-reflecting, but we're not always the most objective judges of our own characters and abilities. Ask to sit down with a trusted friend or mentor, and explain to them that you are thinking about running for office. Ask them to outline what they take to be your strengths and weaknesses, and then listen carefully and non-defensively as they answer. Before you decide to run, you need to sort out the details and, as best you can, realistically outline the course of events that await you. Think about the following: How long will the campaign run? On average, how many hours a day or week will you need to commit to campaigning? What are your other responsibilities, and how much time must you devote to them? Be certain that you will be able to balance all of this while retaining your health and your sanity. You may want to run in order to gain experience or make connections that can help you in your career. These are worth-while goals, but keep in mind that if your heart isn't behind your cause, your voters may be able to see through this. You'll also need to maintain the drive to actually do the job should you win, in which case working for something you care about will help you persist.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider using e-cigarettes or nicotine filters. Get professional help. Take Bupropion. Use Chantix. Try nicotine replacement therapy (NRT).

Answer: Recent studies have suggested that using e-cigarettes while you quit smoking can help you reduce or quit smoking. Other studies recommend caution when using e-cigarettes since the amount of nicotine varies, the same chemicals as those in cigarettes are still being delivered, and they may re-activate the habit of smoking. Behavioral therapy combined with medication therapy can improve your chances of successfully quitting. If you've tried quitting on your own and are still struggling, think about getting professional help. Your doctor can talk to you about medication therapy. Therapists can also help you through the process of quitting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help change your thoughts and attitudes about smoking. Therapists can also teach coping skills or new ways to think about quitting. This medication doesn't actually have nicotine, but it does help reduce the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. Bupropion could increase your chances of cessation by 69 percent.Usually, you'll want to start taking bupropion 1 to 2 weeks before you stop smoking. It's normally prescribed in one or two 150mg tablets per day. Side effects include: dry mouth, difficulty sleeping, agitation, irritability, tiredness, indigestion and headaches as side effects. This medication curbs nicotine receptors in the brain, which makes smoking less pleasurable. It also reduces withdrawal symptoms. You should start taking Chantix one week before quitting. Be sure to take it with meals. Take Chantix for 12 weeks. Side effects include: headaches, nausea, vomiting, trouble sleeping, unusual dreams, gas, and changes in taste. But it could double your chances of quitting. Your doctor will have you increase your dose over time. For example, you'll take one 0.5mg pill for days 1-3. Then you'll take one 0.5mg pill twice a day for days 4-7. You'll take one 1 mg pill twice per day after that. NRT includes all types of patches, gums, lozenges, nasal sprays, inhalers or sublingual tablets that have and deliver nicotine into the body. You don't need a prescription for NRT and it can reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. NRT could increase your chances of quitting by 60 percent. Side effects of NRT include: nightmares, insomnia, and skin irritation for patches; mouth soreness, difficulty breathing, hiccups, and jaw pain for gum; mouth and throat irritation and coughing for nicotine inhalers; throat irritation and hiccups for nicotine lozenge; and throat and nasal irritation as well as runny nose if the nasal spray is used.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Read a new book. Play a game. Knit or crochet. People-watch by observing your fellow travelers. Use your mobile phone, iPad, or handheld games console. Explore the airport for unique entertainment options.

Answer: Most airports sell books at newsstands or even have small bookstores. Take advantage of your free time to read a current best-seller or a classic you haven't gotten around to reading yet. Most popular board games come in portable varieties to play on-the-go, or simply bring along a book of crosswords or sudoku to pass the time. Bring along a deck of cards to play solitaire or a game with other travelers. Keep your fingers busy and bring along a small knitting, crochet or needlepoint project. Print out a paper copy of your pattern or choose one that's easy to memorize. Knitting and crochet needles and scissors smaller than 4 inches (10 cm) are allowed in your carry-on bag per TSA regulations, but thread cutters or needlepoint tools that contain blades will need to be in your checked luggage. Airports bring together people of all different backgrounds, and it can be entertaining to simply sit and watch for a while. Entertain yourself by imagining where they could be going, or what their life story might be. Listen to music, watch a film you've downloaded, play a game, or take photographs of the planes. Pre-load your device with videos or activities beforehand to avoid using up data and set up by a charger so you don't run down your battery. Research the airport beforehand to see what entertainment options are available. Vancouver International Airport has an aquarium, Singapore Changi Airport offers indoor gardens, and Austin-Bergstrom boasts live music. Many other airports offer small exhibits. Find out if your destination has an interesting attraction and plan your route to see it.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cut apart an egg carton into rows. Decorate the caterpillar further.

Answer:
Cut the lid and flaps off of an egg carton first. Next, cut it straight down the middle so that you have two rows of egg cups. Set one of those strips aside for another project. A 12 or 18-cup egg carton will work better than a 6-cup egg carton, otherwise you'll get a very short caterpillar. Use scissors to trim off any sharp corners from the cups so that they are nice and smooth. Let your imagination run wild! Paint spots or stripes on to it. Glue some pompoms down its back. Give it a goofy tongue, eyelashes, or a nose. Bend its antenna into a new shape. The possibilities are endless!
