Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a color scheme. Choose a basket theme. Pick a basket. Gather your supplies.

Answer: While traditional themes like pinks and purples for girls and blues and reds for boys are still common, it isn't necessary to feel constricted by binary standards of gender assignment. Be sensitive to the needs of the baby's parents. If they are very traditional, it is probably safe to go with the "Blue for Boy" scheme. If the parents are more open-minded they may appreciate gender flexibility. Common gender neutral colors such as yellow, green, orange, and brown can be used. A good rule of thumb is to keep colors pastel and light. You should then choose a baby-friendly theme for your basket. Some common themes include: Animals, polka dots, stripes, gingham/plaid, flowers, butterflies, circus, etc. The main point is to be fun and unique. Traditionally, craft stores sell fabric, plush, woven, and wood baskets. You could also go for a non-traditional basket that would be functional and could be filled with other goodies. A new car seat or even a baby bath work great if you want to take this route. For traditional baskets, many prefer smooth and soft baskets that the baby could come in contact with. For wood, wicker, and similar baskets be sure to check for splintering. If the basket has paint or varnish, make sure that it does not flake and that it is nontoxic. Select the gifts that you will fill the basket with. Also pick up thick ribbon, foam or wood letters, bows, a card or tag, plastic wrap, and any other decorations that you want to incorporate. Make sure nothing is toxic, and watch out for small pieces that could break of and be hazardous for the baby.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Figure out your best side. Take the photo from slightly above. Tilt your chin down. Extend your neck slightly forward.

Answer: Straight on photos are generally not as flattering as a photo where your face is angled. Look into your camera, or use a mirror, and examine your face from various angles. Most people prefer one side of their face to the other, so tilt that side toward your camera to take a good selfie. Swivel each of your shoulders away from the camera one at a time to help figure out your best angle. Pictures shot from above are more flattering than those shot from below. Raise your arms slightly to take the photo from an elevated position. Hold the camera just slightly above face level. Don't hold the camera so high that you look shrunken. Gently angle your chin downwards, towards the floor. Holding your chin slightly down and the camera slightly up shows the harmonious flow of the cheekbones toward the lips. This angle may work best if your forehead is on the shorter side. Holding your head the right way can help you avoid any double chin or awkward faces. When posing, extend your neck so that your face is closer to the camera. It may feel weird, but it will help you look better in a selfie. This angle helps define your jawline.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Compare prices. Make sure your offset will be retired. Complete your transaction. Purchase additional carbon offsets when traveling by air. Advertise your business's carbon neutrality.

Answer:
The cost for carbon offsets varies greatly depending on the expense of the project as well as the general laws of supply and demand. You can expect to pay anywhere from $10 to $50 per metric ton of carbon dioxide emissions. Keep in mind that just because one offset is more expensive than another, that doesn't necessarily mean it's better quality. Do your research on the projects independently of price, then choose a high-quality offset that best fits your budget. You can't claim the benefit of your carbon offset until it is retired. Once the offset is retired, it cannot be resold to anyone else. Retirement indicates that the specific amount of carbon dioxide you purchased has in fact been reduced or eliminated. For smaller-scale transactions, you typically don't have to worry about retirement retailers automatically retire the carbon offsets when they're purchased. However, in the case of a larger purchase of carbon offsets, it may take some time before retirement can take place. Once you've decided which carbon offset project you want to support, you typically can purchase your offset online using your credit card. Determine how many offsets you want to purchase and make sure the provider has that many available. Make sure you get a receipt for your purchase. In some countries, carbon offsets may be tax deductible. Airplanes contribute considerable global carbon emissions. Many airlines as well as travel agencies provide the opportunity for you to purchase an offset when you book a flight. These offsets are calculated for you personally based on the environmental impact of the flight you're taking. If you purchase an offset through the airline, typically the cost for the offset is simply added to the price for your ticket. Particularly if you're buying carbon offsets for a small business, your customers will want to know that your business is socially and environmentally responsible. Avoid advertising carbon neutrality until your carbon offsets have been retired. You also might consider having your carbon neutrality certified by a third-party organization.
