Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Drink plenty of fluids. Moisten your food. Coat your throat with honey. Gargle with salt water. Chew gum or suck on candy. Create steam and humidity. Try an artificial saliva product.

Answer: As a general rule of thumb, you should be drinking eight 8-oz (250-ml) glasses of water and other hydrating fluids each day. Staying hydrated gives your body the resources it needs to produce the amount of saliva needed to keep your throat moist. Additionally, drinking fluids can also thin and loosen mucus, thereby preventing it from clinging to the interior walls of your throat and causing irritation there. Tea can be an especially good beverage choice for those suffering with dry throats. Many herbal teas offer natural relief for irritated throats, and teas made from actual tea leaves contain antioxidants that boost your immune system. Avoid caffeinated teas since caffeine can cause dehydration, though. Soak or mix dry foods with broths, soups, sauces, gravies, creams, butter, or margarine before eating them. Doing so is an easy, effective way to coat your throat with additional moisture and get more fluid into your body. Aside from offering additional hydration, moist foods can also be easier to swallow for people suffering with dry throats. This is especially true if these foods are also soft and served no warmer than room temperature. While typically recommended for sore throats, honey can also soothe dry, irritated throats just as effectively. It coats the lining of the throat and protects it against irritants and drying agents. Try dissolving 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of honey in 8 oz (250 ml) of warm to hot water. Considering adding a squeeze of lemon to help boost your immune system, as well. Drink the mixture one to three times daily. Proceed with caution, however. Honey and lemon may increase your risk of developing tooth decay if you've suffered with long-term dry mouth problems. Honey is also unsafe for children under the age of one year. Salt water is another remedy more commonly used for sore throats than dry throats, but under the right conditions, it may also help combat throat dryness. If your dry throat is caused by seasonal irritants like dry air or allergies, gargling salt water can be a good idea. Salt water may irritate chronic dry throats caused by other conditions, however. To prepare a salt water rinse, dissolve 1 tsp (5 ml) of salt in 8 oz (250 ml) of warm water. Gargle the mixture for at least 30 seconds before spitting it out. Alternatively, you could gargle licorice water instead of salt water to achieve a similar benefit. Choose licorice powder that contains real licorice and dissolve 1 tsp (5 ml) in 8 oz (250 ml) of warm water. Treat the remedy like a salt water rinse. Either option will stimulate the flow of saliva in your mouth and throat. Once saliva production increases, your throat should gradually become more moist. It's best to opt for sugarless varieties of gum and hard candy, especially if you're dealing with chronically dry throats. Having too little saliva in your mouth and throat puts you at a greater risk of developing tooth decay, so throwing too much sugar into your mouth at a time like this would be a bad idea. Similarly, you can suck on ice chips, sugar-free popsicles, or throat lozenges to help keep your throat adequately moist. Lozenges that contain numbing ingredients, like menthol or eucalyptus, may provide more relief than standard varieties do. Dry throats can be caused or further agitated by dry air. Make a more conscious effort to breath in moist, humid air throughout the day. It's best of the air you breathe is consistently moist, but briefly breathing in steam can at least offer temporary relief. Use a humidifier. Place a humidifier in your bedroom any any other room you spend a considerable amount of time in. Humidifiers add warm moisture to the air, and breathing in that humid air will help soothe and hydrate your dry throat. If you don't have a humidifier, consider filling a deep pan with warm water and placing it near a heat source (other than a space heater). As the water heats up, it should gradually make the air in the room more moist. Take a hot shower and spend several minutes breathing in the steam. Similarly, you can position your face over a bowl of hot water and breathe in the steam it produces. These options may at least provide temporary sources of dry throat relief. These products can usually be purchased without a prescription and may come in the form of sprays, swabs, and rinses. Even though artificial saliva isn't as effective as natural saliva, it can still make the tissues in your throat more moist and may soothe any discomfort associated with chronic dryness. Look for products that contain xylitol, carboxymethyl cellulose, or hydroxyethyl cellulose. Each option has its own strengths and weaknesses, and one may work better for you than the others, so you might have to try several products before finding one that works for you.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: now your facility. Choose your Pokemon wisely. Defeat Spenser.

Answer: Battle Palace is located to the south of the Battle Arena. This facility is unique from the others in the sense that you, the Trainer, do not give any commands to your Pokemon in battle. Instead, the Pokemon fight on its own. For each challenge, you battle Trainers with 3 of your Pokemon. Defeating 7 Trainers successively clears one set in the facility. The Battle Palace tests how close you are with your Pokemon. Natures as well as movesets of the Pokemon entered into a Palace challenge can determine how each battle plays out. There are 3 categories that moves can fall in at the Battle Palace: Support moves: These include non-damage dealing moves that cause trouble for the opponent in the form of causing status problems, lowering their stats, limiting their movement, etc. The only exceptions are Counter and Mirror Coat. Although these moves deal damage, they do so by redirecting the opponent's power back at them unlike normal damage dealing moves that utilizes the user's own power. Examples of support moves are Poison Powder, Nightmare and Curse. Defense moves: These include moves that benefit the user in the form of raising their stats, providing protection from attacks, restoring HP, etc. Examples include Withdraw, Protect and Heal Bell. Attack moves: These are just any other moves that do not fit into the two categories above. These moves directly inflict damage on the opponent. Examples include Thunderbolt, Tackle and Focus Punch. The Frontier Brain of the Battle Palace is Spenser, also known as the Palace Maven. He is encountered after the 20th and 41st wins in a streak (Gold Symbol). This means that Spenser will be the final Trainer of the 3rd consecutive set through the Battle Palace for the Silver challenge, and the 6th consecutive set for the Gold. Upon his defeat, he will award the Spirits Symbol.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Meditate Keep a journal. Be self-reliant. Find a hobby. Spend more time alone. Spend time with more introverted friends. Consider seeing a therapist. Stay true to you. Take a "vow of silence" for a short period of time

Answer:
to help quiet your mind for at least a few minutes every day. Not only will meditation get you a clearer, more thoughtful, tuned-in mind, but it can help lower your cholesterol and blood pressure, too. Just 10-15 minutes each day can leave you feeling zoned and zenned for the next 24 hours. If you're not the meditating type, other activities can substitute for this feeling. Take a walk in your favorite local park, or just sit on a bench and read. Grab a journal and spend some time writing down your thoughts. Anything that's a bit of "me-time" will do the trick. Do people playfully tease you and tell you to take a hike? Perhaps you should tease them back and actually do it. Live in the moment by practicing such techniques as mindfulness and Zen driving. Contemplating the mysteries of science (the universe, quantum theory) can also be an intensely introspective experience. One way to shift focus (and be more observant, as mentioned above) is by keeping a journal. Commit to a daily writing practice and ask yourself questions like: What did I feel? Why? What did I learn today? Who did I learn from? What ideas arrived? Who or what did I think about today? How was today different than yesterday? Than last week? Than last year? What can I be grateful for? Who in our world seems lonely? Why? While there's no shame in asking for help, your quiet confidence will give you the strength to do it yourself, which in turn will make you more valuable to others. And when you do need to ask for help, your introspective nature will enable you to focus and to ask the right questions. When you can spend time alone with yourself doing quiet, thoughtful things, it'll be easier to do the same in larger groups. And you'll probably be surprised how much you enjoy it as well. You'll cultivate patience and nurture your inner world, as well as provide yourself with more conversation material when it's time to socialize. Try knitting, zen gardening or some other activity that doesn't require extraneous talking. Even just picking up a good book is a start. In her book What Do I Say Next?, Mingling Maven Susan RoAne writes, "Still waters run deep ... but they can also be shallow." If you're shallow, people will be glad you're shutting up, and you don't want that. You want to improve yourself and become someone that other people want to be around, even if you're not chatty. Also remember that quiet people can also do things loud people do. You can try singing, dancing, playing an instrument, etc. Remember to transition back to a quiet person when you're done. However, when your free time is spent being quiet, it'll be harder to make the transition into being louder in other situations, as quietude often sets the mood for your social interactions later. Imagine spending all day reading your favorite book, getting totally enveloped, and then going to a party. You'll probably still be off in book world, feeling naturally quieter and more introverted. Author Susan Cain says that "quiet is a catalyst for innovation." Being alone with your thoughts can be some of the most rewarding, productive time spent in your day. And you get to do exactly what you want to do. This will not only be quality time doing whatever you want, but you'll learn to be with just yourself and like it, too. This could be time spent perfecting your new hobby, writing in your journal, taking the dog for a walk, or going on a spontaneous trip to the grocery store. It's not important what you do, just that you do it. You'll learn that interactions with others don't make or break a good time. On the other hand, don't become a recluse, but do use your "alone time" to nurture your creativity. Surrounding yourself with bustling, gregarious, bubbly people will only make you more bustling, gregarious, and bubbly. To learn to appreciate friends on a lower key and sometimes even in silence, spend time with more introverted, naturally quieter people. You'll find that it's a completely new and different kind of fun. Quiet people often tend to hang out with quiet people, though this is not always the case. If you don't know that many quiet people, ask your quietest friend and meet their friends. Having a friend's support is often helpful, especially if they're already the quiet type (or trying to be). Alternatively, join more notoriously quiet activities try a book club or a cooking class to meet quieter individuals. Not only will this give you that much-needed time to talk about yourself, but you can also talk about why you feel you need to be quieter, and whether you demand other people's attention. Therapists aren't only for people who have mental disorders, but also for people who want to get in touch with themselves. If someone is making you feel like you're too loud, you can talk about that, too. You're probably just fine as you are, unless you feel it's a problem. Being comfortable in your natural personality is very important. At the end of the day, some people are just naturally louder than others. You don't have to be quieter you're probably just fine as you are. However, if you do feel compelled to change, only make changes that feel okay and genuine. If you want to speak up, do it. If you want to dance in the cafeteria, do it. All of us are dynamic individuals with more than one side to us. Maybe you just have a quiet side that comes out once in a while. If you genuinely do feel the need to be quieter, choose times when you feel this is the most important. At dinner with family? During class? Don't aim to be a quiet person; aim to be quieter in the right circumstances. There may be times when being loud is called for. . Maybe you can be completely silent for an hour. Then try three hours. If you can make it to a whole day, you might find yourself observing more around you that you never noticed before because you were too busy talking. A good time to begin such a "vow of silence" is after a procedure that causes pain in the mouth or head, such as braces adjustments, root canals, or even a minor bonk on the head. Don't hurt yourself, of course, but do look for inspiration to become a quiet person.
