INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are certain chores that a senior citizen will have difficulty performing and could benefit from someone's assistance. Doing things like sweeping and mopping floors, cleaning the bathrooms, vacuuming, washing windows, and cleaning the kitchen will greatly assist a senior citizen. You can always say something like, "How about I give you a hand mopping the floors today?" Ask them which tasks need to be completed and set to work getting those things done! Senior citizens may not be able to move, bend, and lift as well as younger individuals. If a senior citizen is living in their own home, they may need help with yard work, especially in the fall and spring seasons. Take a look at their yard and then talk about what things you can do to clean it up and keep it looking nice. You can say, "It looks like the garden has some weeds that need to pulled and the lawn should be mowed soon." Once you start a conversation about it, you can find out specific things you can do for them. Remove debris, like fallen branches, from the yard. Cut down branches on trees that are taking up too much space or look like they need to come down. Pull weeds in the garden. Rake leaves in the autumn. Mow the lawn as necessary. Assist with snow and ice removal to prevent dangerous falls. Some senior citizens love gardening and regard it as a beloved and rewarding hobby. A strong pair of hands can be a great help to a senior citizen while gardening. There is a lot of bending of legs, being on one's knees, scraping, and back bending that an older person might have trouble with or be unable to do. Be prepared to work hard and do a lot of pulling and bending. Try wearing knee pads to take the pressure off your knees when working on the ground. Many senior citizens need assistance with grocery shopping because they cannot lift heavy objects very well. Talk about the groceries and supplies they will need for the next week or two and then put together a shopping list. Offer to drive them to the store or simply go on their behalf. If they go with you, take your time going up and down the aisles and make sure that they have everything that is on their list and more. Carry all of the grocery bags into their residence and put the groceries away. If you have a car and a valid driver's license, set aside a few hours to drive a senior citizen around to do all of their errands. They may need to do things like go to the post office, go to a certain store, go to an appointment, drop something off, etc. Before you go out, sit down and talk about all of the places they need to go and what time their appointments are. Then figure out the most efficient way to complete the errands. Be sure to be prompt in picking them up if you first dropped them off somewhere.

SUMMARY: Assist with household tasks. Help out with yard work. Offer to help with gardening. Go grocery shopping. Drive them around to complete their errands.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It takes a while for ovens to reach this high temperature, so get it preheating while you are preparing the vegetables. Combine the mushrooms, broccoli, spinach, pepper and onion in a large bowl. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon (15ml) of the olive oil over the vegetables and mix well to make sure everything is coated. The vegetables will roast best if you keep them in a single layer. Sprinkle the vegetables with the salt, pepper and provence seasonings. Put the baking sheet of vegetables in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes. The vegetables should just begin to soften or be tender-crisp when you take them out of the oven. While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the pasta. Put the pasta in a large pot with 6-8 cups (1.41.9 liters) of water. Follow directions on the box for how long to cook. About 2 minutes before the pasta is supposed to be done, take out a piece and taste it. Pasta is done when it is al dente. It should not be stiff, but you should feel resistance if you bits into it. The pasta will continue to cook and soften as it cools. Pour the pasta into a colander to drain. Put the drained pasta into the same large bowl you used to mix the vegetables. You can use tongs, a long fork or a slotted spoon to remove the pasta directly from the cooking water if you do not have a colander. Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake until the cheese is bubbly. After you take the casserole out of the oven, let it sit for about 10 minutes to cool slightly. This will make it easier to serve.
Summary: Heat the oven to 450F (230C). Mix the vegetables. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet. Bake the vegetables for 10 minutes. Cook the pasta. Drain the pasta. Bake for 20 minutes.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Sleep paralysis occurs when your body is starting to fall asleep, and causes you to be temporarily awake but unable to move. Recognize the first signs of sleep paralysis to avoid becoming frightened when it occurs. Sleep paralysis is unpleasant for most people, but it's actually a helpful jumping off point for lucid dreams, if used correctly. Feel for buzzing, numbness, heaviness, or the sensation of falling. A feeling of heaviness or numbness moving up or across your body can also signal the onset of sleep paralysis. Listen for unpleasant or repetitive buzzing or droning. This tinnitus-like auditory hallucination may mean you are falling asleep. You may hear words, such as your own name, inside yourself or very nearby. Try not to be startled. Welcome sleep paralysis as a platform for lucid dreaming. Embrace your awareness of your body's descent into sleep by noticing every stage. If you become frightened, remind yourself that it is sleep paralysis, and that you are falling asleep. It is common to hallucinate a presence during sleep paralysis, often a menacing or oppressive one. Remind yourself that you are dreaming, nothing can hurt you, and you are in charge. If you are frightened, and embracing your dream isn't working, try gently wiggling your fingers or toes. Move from paralysis to lucid dream by moving dreamily. Instead of trying to move your limbs, which feel paralyzed, try instead to float out of your body, sink through your bed, or sit up out of your body. Alternately, tell the room around you to change. Say "Now I am transporting to the beach," or some scene you frequently dream. If there is a presence in the room, tell them you are dreaming and you want to be taken to the dream. Expect that they will take you, and they will.
Summary:
Notice the onset of sleep paralysis. Relax into it. Float, sink, or sit up out of your body.
