In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most people only glance at a piece of art. For example, a survey done at the Louvre found that the average person spends 15 seconds looking at the Mona Lisa. This is not enough time to truly engage with a work of art. Try to spend at least a minute, preferably longer, looking at a piece of art. This will allow you to take in the image, look at the detail of the composition, and determine how you feel about the piece. By spending time looking at art, you will more likely be able to talk about the piece and some of the finer details. If you are able to stare at a work of art for long periods of time, you may begin to create a dialogue with the piece. This can be extremely interesting, as you begin to see how the picture speaks to you. Art galleries and museums will often place a small plaque near each piece to give the title and a small description. This can sometimes provide you with details to help you interpret and discuss the art. For example, you may see a knot of light pink lines and feel confused. Upon reading the plaque you learn that the title of the work is "My Struggle with Breast Cancer." The title of this piece may help you better understand what is being communicated through the art. Plaques can also include detailed information about the materials used, date that it was created, etc. Some galleries will also provide detailed information about the artists. This material may be found in a pamphlet or in a small biography near the artwork. Learning about the artist may help you understand a bit about their interests and what inspired them to create this art. This will give you more to discuss about the art.
Summary: Take a long look at the piece of art. Read the title and description of the piece. Read up on the artist.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Water helps to cleanse your kidneys, which can help to keep your kidneys healthy. Try to drink six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water every day (1.5 to 2 liters). If you have had kidney stones, then you will need to drink more water. Aim for eight to 12 8-ounce glasses (about 2 to 3 liters) of water per day. If you are on a fluid-restricted diet, then follow your doctor's instructions for how much fluid you can have. A high sodium intake can also make kidney damage worse and make it harder for your kidneys to repair themselves. Aim for less than 2,300 mg per day if you are under the age of 51, and less than 1,500 mg per day if you are over 51. To restrict your sodium intake you will need to get into the habit of reading food labels. Salt is often high in processed foods, so choose whole foods whenever possible. Processed foods that may be high in sodium include: Pizza Deli meats and bacon Pasta Frozen dinners Canned soup Cheese Fast food In someone with healthy kidneys, 3,500 to 4,500mg of potassium is the recommended amount; however, in someone with poor kidney function who is on a potassium restricted diet, 2,000 mg is the recommended daily intake. Check with your doctor if you are not sure if you are supposed to follow a potassium restricted diet. Foods that are high in potassium include bananas, potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, squash, cabbage, dried fruits, grains, and salt substitutes. If you need to limit your potassium intake, then you will need to check the potassium content of all of the foods that you eat and keep track of your potassium intake. Try to get about 20 to 30% of your calories from protein. Eating too much protein can damage your kidneys, but you still need protein for your body's basic processes. Steer clear of high-protein diets if you already have poor kidney function. High-protein diets can harm your kidneys. Choose lean proteins such as fish, skinless chicken, beans, and low-fat cheese. Some herbs and vitamins can damage your kidneys, so it is important to use caution when considering an herb or supplement. Make sure that you check with your doctor first before you start taking any herbs or other supplements.
Summary: Drink lots of water (if permitted). Reduce your sodium intake. Limit potassium. Eat a moderate amount of protein. Check with your doctor before taking any supplements.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It's easy to get out of hand with buying gifts for someone you care about, so stay firm on your budget. Remember that the most meaningful items for your boyfriend will likely be those that are sentimental in nature, and that the effort behind your care package will mean a lot to him, too. Make sure you factor in shipping costs to your budget. The heavier and bulkier your box is, the more expensive your shipping will be. You will also pay shipping costs based on how far the box needs to travel. You can get an estimate of what you'll pay for shipping on your shipping company's website. If you want to get the gift to him on a certain day, pay attention to shipping dates. The closer to the deadline you ship it, the more expensive it will be or the less likely it is to get there on time. During holidays, shipping companies and post offices will usually indicate a "ship by" date to help you determine when you should mail your package in order for it to arrive in time for the holiday. You can check with your preferred carrier to help you determine your shipping deadline. Make sure you know what you can and cannot send through the mail. If your boyfriend is in the military, he may be subject to additional regulations about what he can receive in the mail. Make sure your package doesn't include prohibited items, including weapons, explosives, and alcohol. Policies vary by shipping company, so do your research beforehand. Use extra caution if shipping overseas. Many countries have specific regulations about what can be sent through the mail. In general, sending perishable food (such as produce, meat, and dairy products) is subject to regulation and are best avoided. Specific country restrictions can be found here: http://pe.usps.com/text/imm/ab_toc.htm A good care package will include some necessities, some treats, and some sentimental reminders of home. Factor in the availability of goods at your boyfriend's location. For example, if he is just in another part of the country at college, he probably has access to the same goods as you do, so you may want to focus your care package more on local treats and sentimental items. If he is deployed in a developing country, he will appreciate more necessities than sentimental items. Remember to keep size and weight of all items in mind as you make your purchasing decisions. Consider some special items if your boyfriend is on deployment. You may wish to consult some lists about what items servicemen and women want and need while on deployment. Some items you may want to send include powdered drink mix, individual packets of condiments (such as hot sauce), socks, batteries, or puzzle books.
Summary:
Determine your budget. Figure out when you need to ship it. Research shipping regulations. Determine your boyfriend's needs.
