Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Listen for differences in their calls. Listen for different drum sounds. Pay attention to different eating habits. Consider differences in location.

Answer: Both species have short, sharp calls. However, if you listen carefully, you can detect slight differences in the calls. The Downy Woodpecker's pik call is a rapid string of high-pitched notes that descends in pitch toward the end. Their call typically lasts about two seconds. Hairy Woodpeckers, however, make a similar short sharp note, described as more of a peek sound. It is slightly lower in pitch and does not descend at the end as the Downy's call does. Hairy Woodpeckers also have a rattling or whinnying call. The males and females of both species use their bills to drum on trees as a means of communication. However, Downy's drum is slightly slower than that of a Hairy, about 17 beats per second as opposed to the Hairy's 25 beats per second. Both species primarily eat insects, along with some fruit and seeds. But there are some differences in how the two species feed that may help you identify them. Because of their smaller size, Downy Woodpeckers can eat foods that larger woodpeckers can't access, like insects in the stems of larger weeds. Hairy Woodpeckers never feed on weeds. Hairy woodpeckers like to drink the sweet sap of trees. They may even peck into sugar cane to drink the sugary juice within. This can be tricky because both are found in woodlands and may often flock together. However, the Downy Woodpecker favors smaller branches while the Hairy spends more time on large branches or trunks.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use a word-processing program on your computer. Include all of the relevant details for the activity. Create a line for the parent or guardian to give explicit permission. Include space for medical details. Add an emergency contact option. Ask for the parent or guardian's signature.

Answer: You can type up your permission slips using a program like Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or Pages. For most cases, use a clear and standard font such as Times New Roman or Arial in size 11 or 12. Answer all the questions that pertain to the specific activity. These could include: who, what, when, where, why, how much, as well as the means of transportation. This information, which summarizes the trip, should be at the top of the document. Here is an example of how these questions can be answered in the permission slip: Who: Mrs. Tucker's English class What: The class will be taking a trip to the Alberta Street Library. When: 8:30 am - 11:30 am, Friday, May 10th, 2019 Where: The Alberta Street Library Why: The class will be going to take a tour of the library. Cost: No cost Means of Transportation: We will take a school bus. Include the contact information for your school so they can be contacted with any questions. You need to have a statement where the parent or guardian writes that they give permission for their child to take the trip. Here is an example of this line: I, (parent or guardian's name), give permission for my child, (child's name), to attend the field trip to (location of field trip) with (organization or adult's name who is leading the trip). If a child has specific allergies or a medical condition, or if the trip is over an extended period of time, include space for the parent or guardian to give information about allergies and medical conditions. Write this as, "Relevant Allergies/Medical Conditions:_________." Create a line for an emergency contact phone number on the slip. This is the person that can be called if something happens to the child and their parent or guardian can't be reached. You can write "Emergency Contact Name: _________" and "Emergency Contact Phone Number: _________." Perhaps the most important part of the permission slip is the parent or guardian's signature. At the bottom of all the information about the trip, the parent or guardian needs to sign the paper! Write "Parent or Guardian Signature: _________" at the bottom of the slip.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get a proper diagnosis. Learn everything you can about the disorder. Consider medication.

Answer: There are many symptoms of adult ADHD that closely resemble those seen in children. The main difference is that these behavioral tendencies start to effect the everyday lives of the adult. If you are having problems staying on task at work, are always late for work or other important events, are impulsive, or were diagnosed with ADHD as a child and still have difficulty, you may have adult ADHD. Visit your doctor with your concerns to make sure you have adult ADHD. You want to make sure you can rule out other conditions before getting treated for ADHD. The better you understand your disorder and begin to see ways that it affects all the areas of your life, the better you can begin to make changes in your personal habits in order to manage your ADHD. Read every book you can get your hands on, search the net for information, ask your doctors questions, and attend any seminars in your area on ADHD. The more informed you are about the problems you have, the more apt you are to see how ADHD is affecting you. ADHD is a brain chemistry disorder. Your disorder makes it difficult for you to study, complete tasks, perform to capacity in your job, keep your job, complete daily care tasks, fully enjoy your leisure activities, care for your family, manage your money, and maintain meaningful relationships. Work closely with your doctor in trying and finding out the best medication for you. There are many different kinds and doses that vary depending on your specific case. It may take time to get your dosage exactly right, but your doctor will work with you until you find the right method. In most cases, it will help you in ways you never even realized it would. Once you begin the right medication for you, you can begin to structure your daily life so that you are the best you can be. The experience is encouraging, gives you the self-control you've longed for, and helps you to feel satisfied with yourself. The three main forms of ADHD medication are short-acting/immediate release, intermediate-acting, and long-acting, which come in either stimulant or non-stimulant types. The forms differ on how long they take to work and how long the effects of the medications last. When taking medications for ADHD, pay attention to how you feel and when you feel certain ways. Report how you feel to your doctor. You should not feel too hyped, nervous, or spaced out and numb. Be sure to remember to tell your doctor if you feel these ways because more than likely your dosage needs adjusting. The appropriate feeling to look for is to feel slightly energized and motivated, calmly focused on what you have to do, and experience the ability to get your duties finished and feel good about yourself.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Practice active listening. Remember key points. Do an activity he enjoys. Give positive reinforcement.

Answer:
Make sure you're being a good listener when he speaks. If he feels like you're ignoring him or that you're distracted, he may not want to open up. Give your full attention when he's talking and don't get distracted by the television, your phone, or other things. Nod occasionally and appear engaged by leaning in and keeping an open posture. Maintain eye contact to show that you're engaged. Encourage him to go on by saying, "Uh huh" or, "I see" to show that you're listening. When your boyfriend speaks, remember the important things he brings up. If he brings up the same topic a couple times, this likely means it's something that's important to him or that he cares about. If you're looking for something to discuss, ask him for an update on something he brought up before. For example, say, "You were working on a project in your garage, did you finish it?" Give him opportunities to open up that might appeal to him. Offer to do something that both of you like. This will put him in a relaxed and familiar state of mind, which may make him feel more open and willing to talk. This also allows you to have more things to talk about regarding the activity. Maybe you both enjoy playing video games, ice skating, or watching movies. When your boyfriend opens up or talks, give him some positive feedback. Show your gratitude for his openness. This will show him that you appreciate when he opens up and want him to do more of it. For example, say, "I always enjoy learning more about you" or, "I didn't know that about you, thanks for sharing."
