Article: Before trying to reach a larger number of people, inform those already in your social and professional spheres by sending out an e-mail. If you already have a contact list specifically set up for this subject, send the e-mail out to everyone on that list. Even if you don't have a special contact list set aside, it might still be worth your time to send an e-mail out to anyone you know who might be interested. Provide all relevant information in the e-mail. You should also include a note in the body of the e-mail encouraging your contacts to forward the e-mail to others who might be interested. Facebook is still one of the most popular social media websites. Plenty of people successfully use it to reach the masses, and plenty of others try to do so and fail. Knowing how to use Facebook effectively is crucial. If you haven't done so already, start an official fan page on Facebook and build your fan base. Update the page often and keep it active. Target your posts your specific target audience based on age, gender, relationship status, and similar criteria. Make your posts more interesting by using original images. Post during different time slots to determine which reaches your target audience most effectively. Cross-promote with other pages who share a similar target audience. Consider buying actual ad space on Facebook. Your cause, event, or company should have its own Twitter account. At minimum, you should tweet frequent updates from this official account and aim to get as many followers as possible. It's also a good idea to start an official Twitter hash tag. Create a term that is easy to remember and relevant to the topic, then tag all of your related posts with this hash tag. Print this tag on every other piece of promotional material, as well, so that more people will know to use it. Set up an official Pinterest account to promote your cause, event, or business. Post information related to your topic and try to get followers who share your interest in the topic at hand. You can pin articles on related subjects, tutorials on related DIY projects, or advertisements for your newest events or products. Encourage those who connect with you to send or post their own photos, then pin those photographs to a special board dedicated to your supporters. Network with popular blogs related to your subject matter. Get to know the person who runs the blog and ask to write a guest post about your chosen topic. This might be even more beneficial if you have your own blog. You can link back to your blog in each guest post and offer guest space on your own blog to those you network with. Stick with something educational. If you want to direct readers to your own blog or website for more information, include the plug toward the end of the post and keep it brief. Roughly one-quarter of Americans listen to podcasts, so converting the information you want to spread into digital audio can make a big impact. If you have an existing blog, you can simply convert your existing posts into podcast form. Another option is to record a regular podcast show. Make each episode readily available for download or streaming audio. Consider writing a short, concise book on your cause or on a topic related to your business or event. Self-publish your eBook and make it available for free or cheap on as many major platforms as possible. The material you publish must be relevant and the eBook itself should look professional. Design an eye-catching cover to accompany your eBook, too. The right cover can be the factor that convinces a potential reader to find out what your eBook is all about. Make your eBook available on your blog, if you have one. It should also be available for download to the Amazon Kindle and Barnes and Noble Nook.

Article: Thickening with egg yolks provides a nuanced rich flavor. Sauces like hollandaise are classically thickened this way. Egg yolk can be more difficult to work with than some other thickening agents because overheating will cause the egg yolk to curdle. Beat the yolks until they appear consistently smooth and slightly frothy. Use 2 to 3 egg yolks per cup of liquid sauce you want to thicken. The more egg yolks you use, the thicker the resulting sauce will be. First, bring the beaten egg yolks to room temperature to prepare them for tempering. Don't try to speed up this process by using heat. Take some of your hot sauce that you want to thicken, and add it gradually to the beaten egg yolks. This will slowly raise the temperature of the yolks and prevent them from curdling. To thicken with egg yolks, it is best to use a thermometer while you are tempering the yolks. You want to add enough sauce to the yolks to bring them to the same temperature as your sauce. For the best thickening, this temperature should stay between 149 (65 degrees Celsius) and 158 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius). Stir until the two are blended. After you add your egg yolks, avoid letting the sauce get above 190 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius). If the temperature of your sauce is too high, your egg yolks could curdle.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Use a whisk or fork to rapidly beat your egg yolks. Temper the yolks. Use a thermometer. Stir the tempered egg yolk mixture into the sauce.
Article: A cipher uses an algorithm, which is like a process or transformation that is applied to a message consistently. This means that anyone who knows the cipher can translate it. Complex ciphers can puzzle even trained cryptanalysts. Sometimes the math behind complex ciphers can prove a suitable defense for hiding everyday messages. Many cryptographers add a key, like the date, to strengthen ciphers. This key adjusts the output values by the corresponding number of the day of the month (on the first, all output values would be changed by one). One of the simplest ciphers you can apply is the ROT1 Cipher (sometimes called Caesar Cipher). This name simply means you should rotate a single letter forward in the alphabet for each letter of your message. ROT1 Message: Hello ROT1 Enciphered: i; f; m; m; p Caesar Ciphers can be modified to rotate forward a number of different letters of the alphabet. In concept, ROT1 and ROT13 are essentially the same. Ciphers can be incredibly complex. Some require the use of coordinates, times, and other values as well. Some cipher process may require the use of a computer. Use your algorithm to encrypt your messages. As you learn the enciphering process, your speed should increase. Add to your algorithm to make it more complex. For example, Include a rotating condition to your cipher, like the day of the week. For each day of the week, assign a value. Adjust your cipher by this value when encrypting a message on that day. Include a page number with your enciphered message. Each corresponding letter of that page will serve as a key for the message, as in, 1st Deciphered Message: 7; 2; 3; 6; 3 Book Key: A_girl (spaces aren't counted)/H/ is 7 letters away from /A//e/ is 2 letters away from /g//l/ is 3 spaces away from /i/And so on... Key Adjusted Message: Hello When you become experienced reading your cipher it should become second nature, or at least easier. As the application of these processes (algorithms) is consistent, habit will help you notice trends and gain intuition when working with this kind of cryptographic system.
