Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn a new skill. Play brain games. Practice memorization. Read often.

Answer: Research has shown that learning a new skill can improve brain functions. New skills not only improve memory, but they help the portion of the brain that ensures protection of the memories. Furthermore, new skills, particularly the more complex skills, engage the brain comprehensively instead of in small portions. Juggle. Research has shown that juggling can improve connections and white matter in the brain. Woodworking is a great way to keep the brain engaged. It requires precise measurements and concentration. Digital photography has been shown to have a very significant impact on mental health, perhaps because of how difficult and complex the task can be. Brain games such as Sudoku and crossword puzzles positively have been shown to improve connections in the brain. They also affect short-term memory, and have been shown to stave off the growth of protein deposits (beta amyloid) that negatively impact brain health. Try to keep your mind as active as possible. Starting brain games, and being mentally active in general, early in life has shown to be more beneficial than attempting to start later in life. Once the brain games stop being complex, it no longer has the same brain health impact it once did. If the game is easy, find a new game. Work with short goals first. Try memorizing increasingly more difficult lists. Whether it's all the states in the U.S., or all the bones in the human body, attempting to memorize complex lists helps the brain significantly. Try memorizing one of the following: Shoot for as many digits in the number pi as you can. Lock down the ingredients in a complicated recipe. Find a favorite speech and commit it to memory. Reading an array of material books, periodicals, poetry engages and exercises the brain. Learning new words is similar to learning a new language, which has been shown to improve brain function and expand brain activity in multiple sections. Reading stimulates the brain and slows the onset of Alzheimer's and dementia. Most people have difficulty focusing on reading for just five straight minutes without distraction. Look for articles that pertain to what you currently find interesting in the world. If you have a favorite author, look up one of their books on a popular website and then check recommended authors. You may find a new favorite.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make a Yahtzee scorecard on a dry erase board. Place all of the dice in a bucket. Lay out a flat surface.

Answer: Use a large dry erase board to draw out the template of a classic Yahtzee scorecard. The scorecard should include all of the scoring categories of a Yahtzee card, as well as columns for each player's or team's score in those categories. If you prefer to have everyone keep track on paper, do it that way instead. The dry erase board is a way to make a larger scorecard to go along with the larger dice. The best way to mimic the shaker used in Yahtzee is to use a metal bucket. Make sure it is large enough to fit all five dice, even if they just barely fit. It works to use a plastic bucket, or another container, as long as it is sturdy and fits all of the dice. If you don't have a bucket or don't want to use one, throw the dice with your hands instead. Yard Yahtzee can be played anywhere, but playing in long grass may make it hard for the dice to land flat. If you are playing in the grass, it helps to lay out a tarp, rug, or sheet of plywood to help the dice lie flat when you roll them. If you play on a cement surface, laying a tarp or rug out keeps the dice from getting scratched up every time you throw them to the ground.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Place your cat's food somewhere high that your dog can't reach. Block off the cat's food with a gate. Install a cat door. Try an electronic cat feeder. Designate a room as the cat room.

Answer: Cats can usually reach higher areas than dogs can, so take advantage of this by placing your cat's food out of the dog's reach. Try up on a counter or on a cat post. That way your dog won't be able to reach the food and your cat can eat in peace. This method will also ensure that your cat has to "work" a little for her food, which will help keep her healthy. If your dog is small enough, a gate should successfully block him from the cat food. The cat should be able to climb or jump over this gate to reach her food. Some special gates have a cat hole, just big enough for the cat to get through. Consider this option if your cat is unable to get over a gate blocking her food. You could also use a baby gate to block off a doorway and set it a few inches off the ground. This will give the cat room to squeeze through, but your dog won't be able to unless he's very small. Like a gate, a cat door will block off a doorway and stop the dog from getting through. The door has a flap that the cat will fit through, but that most dogs will be too big for. Look for one of these in a pet store or on the internet. This will only work if your cat is smaller than your dog(s). If the dog is the same size as your cat, obviously, this won't work. There are some products that electronically block off your cat's food. They operate through a microchip or electronic tag that your cat wears. A sensor on the feeder will recognize your cat and open when the cat approaches. It will then close when the cat leaves. This can be an expensive option, but it will prevent your dog from taking the cat's food without you watching him all the time. Make sure that your dog doesn't become a bully. Some dogs may sit in wait for the feeder to open for the cat, then bully the cat out of the way. Observe the feeding several times and discourage any bad behavior. If your dog has a habit of pestering your cat, it might be good to give the cat a room to himself. Place his food, water, litter box, and toys in here and block off the entrance with a gate that your dog can't get over or under. That way your cat can retreat in here to rest whenever he wants.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Divide by 1,728 to convert cubic inches to cubic feet. Multiply by 27 to convert cubic yards to cubic feet. Divide by 28,316.85 to convert cubic centimeters to cubic feet. Multiply by 35.31 to convert cubic meters to cubic feet.

Answer:
If you measured your shape or space in inches or were provided with units in inches, it's easy to convert them to feet. Keep in mind that inches are smaller units, so there will be fewer cubic feet than cubic inches. Simply take the volume in cubic inches and divide it by 1,728. For instance, if the volume is 6,912 cubic inches, divide 6,912 by 1,728, which is 4. So the volume is 4 cubic feet. If you took your measurements in yards instead of feet, all you need to do is multiply the volume by 27. Remember that yards are larger units than feet, so you'll have more cubic feet than cubic yards. For instance, if the volume of your shape or space is 1,000 cubic yards, multiply 1,000 by 27, which equals 27,000 cubic feet. Even though centimeters are metric units and feet are imperial units, you can still convert between the two. Centimeters are smaller units than feet, so you'll have more cubic centimeters than cubic feet. Start with the volume in cubic centimeters and divide it by 28,316.85. For example, if the volume of your shape or space is 500,000 cubic inches, divide 500,000 by 28,316.85. This is equal to 17.6573312356, which can be rounded to 17.66 cubic feet. Converting between metric units and imperial units isn't as hard as you might think. To change your measurement from the larger cubic meters to the smaller units of cubic feet, multiply by 35.31. For example, if your space or shape has a volume measurement of 450 cubic meters, multiply 450 by 35.31 for a result of 15,889.50 cubic feet.
