Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Fill the espresso machine's reservoir with cold, filtered water. Place 14 grams of the ground coffee in the filter.

Answer: Using cold, filtered water matters! Unfiltered water won't taste good, distilled water can ruin your machine, and hard water can accumulate lime in your machine. Using about 14 grams of ground coffee is the amount your espresso machine needs to produce a single cup of strong ristretto.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Distract yourself. Visualize putting the pain away. Take a mindfulness meditation break Go into guided imagery. Install a green light in your workspace.

Answer: Select a healthy, go-to distraction that requires your full attention. When you are hit with a wave of pain, pull out that item and concentrate on it until you feel the pain ebbing. In a workplace setting, a suitable distraction could be a good book, your iPad, some music and headphones, or even adult coloring. Picture your pain as an object in your mind, then open a box and place it inside. You can even visualize locking it up if that helps. Other pain management visualizations include placing your pain behind a wall or imagining your pain as a light bulb that you turn off or dim. . The goal here is to calm your mind and focus on a single sense, such as sight, hearing, smell, or feeling. Put all of your attention toward analyzing the sounds that you are hearing in your office and disregard everything else. You may find that your brain is so focused on this other task that the pain becomes secondary or nonexistent. Another option is to do a "body scan" where you consider each part of your body in turn until you identify the pain sources. Then, you concentrate on sending all of your healing energy to those spots. Close your eyes, put in some headphones with soothing music or nature sounds, and visualize yourself at a calming location. It should be somewhere specific to your interests, such as the beach or the mountains. Do this for a few minutes minimum at least three times a week. This is a great way to cut down on pain right before a stressful event, like an important meeting. If you are uncertain how to begin, a therapist can guide you through the imagery process by providing verbal cues. This is an experimental pain relief method, but increasing numbers of people swear by it. Get a portable green light machine (available for purchase online or through a medical or therapy supply store) and place it in your workspace, several feet away from your face. Then, turn and face your body towards it for about 45 minutes, four times a week. This might be a good way to spend at least a few of your workplace lunches. Or, you can turn on the green light while you are reading or working on paperwork. Light therapy has been used to treat a variety of ailments, including seasonal affective disorder (SAD). The light waves enter your eyes and stimulate your nervous and endocrine system to release positive chemicals into your bloodstream.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Watch out for fillings. Be aware of foil backed stones. Keep setting in mind. Note the color. Look for a certificate.

Answer: Like any stone, yellow sapphire occasionally contains inclusions and negative space inside the stone. When a gem-cutter slices into one of these imperfections, a small hole can develop. Most jewelers prefer to keep the hole in the gem rather than cut it away, but untrustworthy jewelers sometimes fill the stone with glass or borax paste to add weight and make the stone appear higher quality. Examine the stone by shining a light on it. Patches of unevenness are usually a good indication of this practice. Foil backing reflects more light, making the color of the yellow sapphire look more vibrant and the luster of the gem look brighter. The backing can be hard to see if the stone is already fitted into a setting, but careful examination of the base of the stone under magnification can often reveal a foil backing. Moreover, this potential falsification is more commonly found in antique jewelry, meaning that you may not need to worry about it quite as much if purchasing a new piece. If you have any doubts about the seller you plan to buy from, consider buying loose stones or stones with settings that give you a look at the bottom of the stone. Claw, tension, and channel settings are good examples. On the other hand, closed settings, like the bezel mounting, are often used by scammers to hide flaws and evidence of fraudulence. True yellow sapphire is a pure yellow, but similar, less precious imitations often have slightly different hues. Citrine has a slight green tint, golden topaz has strong traces of orange, and yellow tourmaline has a brighter, lemon-like hue. While a certificate does not give you the same assurance that physically checking the stone might, it does provide you with the satisfaction of knowing that the stone was checked and approved by an official, trusted organization. Look for certificates from national gem societies like the Gemological Institute of America or the American Gem Society.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Tidy up and decorate your space to help it feel more luxurious. Freshen up your rooms with some nice scents. Turn your bathroom into a relaxing spa. Take turns bringing "room service" to others in your home.

Answer:
Want to make your home feel like a luxury resort? Start by doing a little tidying up. Put away any messes, make your bed neatly, organize your closets, and set out some nice decor to help set the mood. For example, if you want to feel like you're vacationing in a cabin in the mountains, put out some rustic decorations, like some distressed wood wall plaques or galvanized tin vases. The right smells can really set the mood and help you get into a vacation mindset. Use candles, diffusers, incense, or even fresh flower buds to make your home smell like a spa, a rustic cabin, or a tropical resort. For example, you could use subtle scents of plumeria or coconut in your living room to evoke a tropical paradise, or put fresh roses or lavender around your kitchen to make it feel like a country cottage. Put out some fresh, soft towels, set out a luxurious scented soap, and stock your linen closet with robes and fuzzy slippers. If you want, you can even do a little toilet paper origami to make it feel extra fancy! Taking a nice bath can be a great way to unwind and get into the vacation mindset. Get some scented bath salts, oil beads, or fizzies to make the experience special. You can also spruce up the space with some nice decor, like a pretty shower curtain, a bamboo bath mat, or even a beautiful potted plant, like an orchid or eucalyptus. If you're living with other people, you can help each other get into the vacation groove even more by offering deluxe, hotel-style service. Have a continental breakfast ready for your family when they get up, or take turns making the bed or changing out the towels in the bathroom. If you live alone, even making your own bed and putting a mint on the pillow can make you feel more like you're on vacation!
