Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider your comfort. Bring the right viewing equipment. Know where to look. Consider recording what you see.

Answer: If you want to see a meteor shower, you will be sitting outside for a good amount of time, so it's important to keep your basic comfort in mind. Watching the meteor shower will be much more enjoyable if you are well-prepared and have everything you need. It can get quite cold outside depending on the time of year and where you're located, so don't neglect to dress warmly. It's also a good idea to take blankets and warm drinks with you for cold-weather viewing. No matter what time of year you plan on watching the meteor shower during, consider bringing a lightweight chair that lets you lean back. This will be much more comfortable than sitting with your neck craned towards the sky. You may also want to bring some snacks and have a late-night picnic while you're stargazing. Most meteor showers can be seen easily with the naked eye, so you really don't need to worry about having fancy equipment. You can bring binoculars and telescopes if you like, but be aware that these will limit the scope of your view. This means you may be less likely to see meteors if you use them, although you'll definitely get a closer look if you're lucky enough to spot one. It is a good idea to bring a red-tinted flashlight, as this will help you see where you are going without disrupting your natural night vision. When looking for the showers, always look toward the radiant. A constellation chart can help you identify where the radiant should be for each meteor shower. Remember that the shower is typically named after the radiant constellation. Relax your eyes instead of staring intently at the constellation. This will help you see a larger area, so you will be more likely to notice meteors in your peripheral vision. Many astronomers enjoy recording what they see while watching a meteor shower. You can do this in one of several ways, depending on your own personal preferences. You may want to simply tally the number of meteors you see using a pen and paper. You can count shower meteors (those that originate from the radiant, or the constellation after which the meteor shower was named) and non-shower meteors (those that originate in other locations) separately. If you plan on writing this down, you will definitely need to use a red-tinted flashlight to help you see. If you don't want to have to worry about writing anything down while you're stargazing, take a recording device with you and simply dictate what you see. You can write it all down later if you wish. If you have a digital camera with a good lens, you can use it to photograph meteors, although it's a good idea to read up on astro-photography first.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Limit salt intake. Get lots of fruits and vegetables. Incorporate whole grains. Include dairy and probiotics. Stay hydrated. Supplement your diet. Limit or abstain from alcohol and caffeine.

Answer: Sodium can make you retain water and cause bloating or weight gain. Watching how much sodium you eat in the two weeks prior to your period can prevent water retention and may help you feel better. Hold the salt when you cook. Read labels for hidden sources of sodium. It is often in foods including soy sauce, canned vegetables, and soups. Avoid processed foods because they often have a lot of sodium. Processed foods such as deli meats, cheeses, fast food, and even potato chips often have a lot of salt that can cause bloating and discomfort. Whole fruits and vegetables are good sources of complex carbohydrates, and are high in vitamins and nutrients. Eating fruits and vegetables can help you not only curb cravings for junk foods, but also help prevent bloating and weight gain. Make sure you have at least 1 to 2 cups of fruit and 2 to 2 cups of vegetables daily. Select whole, unprocessed fruits and vegetables such as raspberries, mangoes, beets, and peas. Vary your choices every day to get a broad spectrum of nutrients. Whole grains are another type of complex carbohydrate that can help you maintain regularity and decrease bloating. Foods such as whole wheat breads and pastas, oatmeal, cereal, or brown rice can boost your health, while keeping PMS-related discomfort at bay. Avoid refined carbohydrates such as white pasta and white rice because these can cause water retention and weight gain. Eat three to five servings of whole grains daily. Try a variety of whole grains including amaranth, buckwheat, bulgur, kamut, quinoa, and spelt. Dairy products, including those with probiotics, can help prevent the physical and psychological symptoms of PMS. Getting enough dairy and probiotics in your diet may help you feel better as well as boost your health and wellbeing. Aim for two to three servings of fat-free or low-fat dairy every day. One serving is equal to 1 cup fat-free or low-fat milk; 1 cup fat-free or low-fat yogurt; or 1 ounces fat-free or low-fat cheese. Get probiotics by eating dairy such as yogurt, buttermilk, and kefir. You can also get probiotics in pickles, tempeh, kimchi, sauerkraut, and miso. Water retention and bloating are symptoms of PMS. You might think that decreasing how much you drink would prevent you from retaining water, but the opposite is actually true. Getting enough to drink can help prevent both physical and psychological symptoms including headache and bloating. Have at least 2.2 liters (9.3 cups) of water or liquid every day. This can keep you hydrated and flush out excess fluid. You can include 100% fruit juice, milk, sports drinks, and even coffee, tea, and soda in your daily total. Eating is a great way to get different nutrients that can help you avoid PMS. But you may also want to consider adding supplements to your diet to ensure that you're getting enough nutrients to avoid PMS. Talk to your doctor before taking supplements to make sure they're safe for you. Try the following supplements to prevent the symptoms of PMS: Calcium Vitamin D Magnesium B vitamins, including thiamin and riboflavin Vitamin E Alcohol and caffeine can constrict blood vessels, which can cause many PMS symptoms including cramps and bloating as well as exacerbate psychological symptoms. Giving up or limiting how much caffeine and alcohol you consume in the week or two before your period can help you avoid PMS.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Examine the problem. Multiply the constants. Multiply the variables. Write your final answer.

Answer:
A problem involving two monomials will only involve multiplication. There will be no subtraction or addition. A polynomial problem involving two monomials, or two single-term polynomials, will look something like: (ax) * (by); or (ax) * (bx)' Example: 2x * 3y Example: 2x * 3x Note that a and b represent constants or numerical digits, while x and y represent variables. The constants refer to the numerical digits in the problem. These are multiplied as they usually would be according to the standard times table. In other words, during this part of the problem, you are multiplying a and b together. Example: 2x * 3y = (6)(x)(y) Example: 2x * 3x = (6)(x)(x) The variables refer to the letters in the equation. When you multiply these variables, different variables will simply be combined together while like variables will become squared. Note that when you multiply a variable by a like variable, you raise that variable by another power. In other words, you are multiplying the x and y or x and x together. Example: 2x * 3y = (6)(x)(y) = 6xy Example: 2x * 3x = (6)(x)(x) = 6x^2 Due to the simplified nature of this problem, you will not have any like terms that you need to combine. The result of (ax) * (by) equals abxy. Similarly, the result of (ax) * (bx) equals abx^2. Example: 6xy Example: 6x^2
