Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Go back to school. Take free classes. Use skills you have already gained frequently. Pick up a new hobby. Build things.

Answer: Going back to school is a great way to get that brain working again and more education has obvious benefits. You don't even need to get a whole degree. Your employer may be willing to help you finance classes that further your job skills, or you can just take a single class in a subject that interests you. If you just don't have the money or time, there are also a number of free classes available online. Some are even from top universities, like Harvard. Try Coursera, Khan Academy, or even just Ted Talks to get the university experience, without the price. You may even be eligible to take a free course at a local college or university. Some colleges and universities offer free courses for mature learners. With your brain, much like your muscles, it's kind of a "use it or lose it" situation. The longer you go without using information and skills, the rustier they get. Frequently use basic skills, like doing math, in order to keep those skills fresh and ready to use. Try using skills that you have not used in a while, such as woodworking, knitting, sewing, or doing home repairs. Learning a new skill is also a great way to give your brain a workout. Creative skills especially, like music, dance, and visual art, will exercise different parts of your brain and all have incredible benefits. Whether you're building robots or a new bench for your hallway, using your brain to figure out how to make something (especially from scratch with no instructions) is a great workout. Get some basic building skills and then get your brain limber with some practical creativity. Try doing a do-it-yourself project to learn new skills and make something in the process.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Polish your resume. Line up references. Be persistent.

Answer: This may be the first impression an employer gets of you, so don't cut corners. Now that you have the skills and requirements to make a splash in your particular field, make sure your resume explains why you're the right person for the job. Have a clearly defined goal List your employment history. Don't sell yourself short here or take anything for granted, you never know what you've done that an employer might find interesting or worthwhile. List awards or other achievements. If you don't have an extensive work history, you can lead with educational achievements, contests won, or community service/outreach you've had experience with Overall, be clear, concise and check dutifully for any spelling or grammatical errors. Never underestimate the power of a good reference. Understanding who to use and why is a strategy that could be just as helpful as your air-tight resume. List someone you've worked with. Most employers will want to know about your work style and attitude, so choose someone with whom you've had a positive working relationship. List a professor. If you're fresh out of school and haven't had a chance to build a positive working relationship yet, you can select a professor or advisor from school that is familiar with you and your work. Select people who want to see you succeed as much as you do. Make sure they know enough about you so that they express your strengths, areas of expertise, and development. Overall, make sure that it's someone you feel good about having as a reference. Even with a good education, a shining resume, and a list of the world's best references, it can be difficult to land a job. This doesn't necessarily mean that you're doing something wrong. It means that there's a lot of competition out there. Don't give up if employers don't respond to your resume right away. Keep looking, learn from your experiences, and have confidence in your abilities.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick the right color based off weather. Choose a lure type.

Answer: Depending on the sun and cloud cover, you may want to pick a different lure. On sunny days, try using a silver lure. The silver will help reflect light and attracts attention. Contrastingly, use a gold lure on a cloudy day. Gold has high reflective properties and will help give off light on an overcast or stormy day. Pick your lure style based off what kind of fish you are aiming to catch and where. If you're fishing in freshwater, try a jig. A jig will work well in fresh water by using feathers and a metal head to attract fish. A spoon lure will work well for fish that prey on small fish. The spoon will wave back and forth to mimic the movement of a fleeing fish, attracting the bigger predators. If you're looking for an all-purpose lure, try a spinner. A spinner is a metal piece that will spin in the water as it moves. This attracts a lot of attention and should be used in a particularly difficult-to-catch location.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Watch for pale-brown moths on your lawn at dusk. Look for brown, cut patches in your grass. Examine your turf for webs and fecal pellets. Flush out the larvae with soapy water.

Answer:
Adult sod webworms are most active on warm evenings, especially during July and August. They are easily identified by their prominent snout and the jerky movements they make as they fly. Seeing a few adult sod webworms doesn't necessarily mean you need to treat your lawn. However, if you see a large number of them, you can assume they will produce a large number of larvae. It's the sod webworm larvae, or caterpillars, that cause damage to your grass. As the larvae feed on your grass, you will begin to see small patches appear. It will appear that the grass has been cut or sheared. Damage from sod webworm caterpillars can be up to the size of a baseball on your lawn. If an infestation is particularly bad, however, these patches may join together, creating even larger brown patches. The brown patches may sometimes have visible pencil-sized holes due to birds searching for the webworm larvae. Since sod webworm larvae live in the dry thatch beneath grass, damage appears most frequently on slopes and banks that are hard to irrigate. Sod webworm larvae create silky tunnels, or webs, to protect themselves. In addition, they leave frass, or soft green fecal pellets, on grass stems. These will both be visible when you examine the grass. Dilute 2 tablespoons (30mL) of dish detergent in 1 gallon (3.8L) of water. Spread the mixture over a 2ft 2ft (0.61m 0.61m) area near the outside of the dead patches of grass. The soap will irritate the caterpillars, forcing them to the surface of the grass. This will allow you to see the extent of the infestation. If you have 10-15 larvae present, you should treat the area with an insecticide. If there are only a few larvae, you can use a rake to destroy them.
