Problem: Article: While the efficacy of fans during extreme heat and humidity has been debated, some research suggests fans are beneficial up to 97F (36C) with 80% humidity, and 108F (42C) with nearly 50% humidity. Whether hand-held or electric, fans can keep you cool by continuously circulating air. In your home and office space, locate fans in rooms where you are working or resting to keep the air circulating freely and to reduce the mugginess of heat. Try making your own "swamp cooler." These evaporative coolers can reduce temperature by significant amounts. They range from the simple (i.e. a bowl of chilled water in front of a fan) to the semi-complex. With just a few PVC pipes, a bucket, an electric fan, and a frozen gallon of water, you can create mid-40F (4C) wind. However, keep in mind that swamp coolers will not work with humid heat. A fan should not be the primary source of cooling down in extremely hot weather. Fans work well, but only if the weather is not too hot. Even if your home does not have central air, placing a small window air conditioner in one room of your home may help to keep it cool during the summer. For example, you could place the air conditioner in the room where you spend the most time, such as the living room, kitchen, or your bedroom. You can also try running the air conditioner at the highest comfortable temperature to avoid racking up a high electricity bill. Visit public buildings if you don't have adequate air-conditioning at home. A few possible locations to avoid the heat: The library is a great place to get cool and learn new information. Grocery stores are air conditioned well. And if it's particularly hot, visit the freezer section and peruse for a while. The sun's rays convert to heat. However possible, you should block the rays coming into your house to keep the temperature down. Closing curtains, lowering shades, or even blocking windows can significantly reduce the heat in your house and keep it cool. Awnings work as well, because they keep the direct heat off the windows without blocking out all light. Changing the color of your roof can decrease the temperature in the house. Cooler colored roofs are approximately 50 degrees lower during hot summer months. You can put a special coating on your existing roof to lighten the color, or replace the traditional darker shingles with a lighter color. If you are interested in getting a special treatment for your roof to reduce the temperature in your home, then contact a roofing professional to find out about your options. You might want to wait until you need to replace your roof to make these changes. Better insulation means less heat in the summer. If your house is hot, you can cool down easier with better insulation. Less crevices and avenues for the air to escape means the cool air stays inside. Ensure there is some air between insulation and roofing material.
Summary: Use fans. Use air conditioning. Close curtains and blinds. Minimize the effects of sunlight on your roof. Insulate well.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Hotmail/Outlook and Yahoo! Mail both offer POP3 and IMAP incoming mail servers. iCloud only supports IMAP. If you only plan to check your email in one place (such as in one app on your phone or computer), choose POP3. If you want your email to be available in multiple apps (or if you have an app and also want to use the web-based version of your email (i.e., http://www.hotmail.com) to read and reply to email), go with IMAP. (Hotmail IMAP, iCloud and Yahoo! Mail users can skip this step). If you want to use POP3, log into Hotmail/Outlook on the web and click the Options wheel, then select "Options" from the menu. Navigate to "Managing your account and click "Connect devices and apps with POP." Select "Enable" under POP and click "Save." Outlook, iCloud and Yahoo! all use only secure POP3 and IMAP connections for your safety. Hotmail/Outlook POP3: pop-mail.outlook.com port 995 Hotmail/Outlook IMAP: imap-mail.outlook.com port 993 Yahoo! POP3: pop.mail.yahoo.com port 995 Yahoo! IMAP: imap.mail.yahoo.com port 993 iCloud IMAP: imap.mail.me.com port 993

SUMMARY: Decide whether you prefer POP3 or SMTP. Configure POP3 settings for Hotmail/Outlook. Type the mail server address and port into your mail software.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: when the flowers fall off. Use a sharp, sterilized pair of pruning shears or a razor to trim the stalk when the plant has stopped blooming. Leave about 1 inch (2.5cm) of the stalk, or spike, so that it can regrow. Water the orchid, then gently tug the plant out of its pot. Use your hands to loosen the roots a bit and dust off any growing media stuck to them. Then, carefully place the orchid into the new pot. If possible, pick a pot designed for orchids. If you can't find one, opt for a pot with lots of drainage holes to allow air to flow in and water to drain out. Put a saucer underneath the pot to catch excess water. If the roots of your orchid begin growing out through the holes in the bottom of the pot, that's an indication that the pot is too small and you should move it to a larger one. To promote the reblooming of orchids, mix 2 parts bark formulated specifically for orchids with 1 part peat moss to create the growing medium. Fill the space around the roots with the medium and add a light layer on top, but be sure you don't cover the leaves. Orchids need well-draining media with lots of air pockets in order to flourish. Avoid using regular potting soil in orchid pots.
Summary: Cut back the stalk Move the orchid to a new pot once the roots start poking out of the bottom. Add fresh growing medium to give your orchid a nutrient boost.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Investors often determine a required yield, or the minimum return they want to get on a bond, before purchasing. Calculating the yield to maturity can inform you about whether a specific bond purchase will meet an investors expectations. These expectations may vary from investor to investor. However, the calculation gives investors concrete data with which to compare the value of different bonds. Bond issuers may not choose to allow a bond to grow until maturity. These actions decrease the yield on a bond. They may call a bond, which means redeeming it before it matures. Or, they may put it, which means that the issuer repurchases the bond before its maturity date. Yield to call (YTC) calculates the yield rate between the present and the call date of a bond. Yield to put (YTP) calculates the yield rate until the issuer puts the bond. The YTM does not account for taxes or for purchasing or selling costs. These effectively lower the yield on a bond. Also, investors must remember that these calculations are estimates only. Fluctuations in the market can have significant effects on the bond yield.
Summary:
Use it to evaluate whether or not a bond is a good investment. Learn the variations of yield to maturity. Understand the limitations of yield to maturity.
