article: Cocaine and other stimulants often cause overly-energetic behavior. Common conversational clues of cocaine use include: excessive talkativeness rapid speech conversations that jump around from one topic to another Cocaine use frequently gives users a sense of invincibility. This can lead to high-risk behavior, including risky sexual activities, and violent tendencies, such as fighting, domestic violence, homicide, and suicide. Risky sexual activities may lead to pregnancy, illness, and/or sexually transmitted infections. High-risk behavior may lead to legal problems, serious injury, or death. Someone who consistently uses cocaine may end up spending large amounts of time and energy acquiring cocaine. Users of cocaine may also engage in: shirking responsibilities or obligations frequently disappearing, going to the bathroom, or leaving the room, and returning in a different mood Because cocaine is a stimulant, it can cause sudden changes in mood. This may mean irritability, but it could also cause sudden bursts of euphoria or a sense of carelessness, or a shift from one extreme to the other. A common behavioral characteristic of people who use drugs is withdrawing from social relationships, either to be alone or to be with others who use drugs. Though socially withdrawing from a group of friends may be caused by other factors, such as anxiety or depression, it may also be a sign of drug use. Many users of all kinds of drugs experience a loss of pleasure in activities or interests that had previously been enjoyable, but this is particularly problematic with cocaine use. That's because cocaine use harms the circuits in the human brain that are responsible for a sense of pleasure. Look for signs of depression and a seeming lack of pleasure in day-to-day activities as a symptom of long-term cocaine use.

article: In order to write, you will either need staff paper and a writing implement, such as a pencil or pen, or some kind of music writing software. Writing by hand is problematic because, in order to hear what you've played, you have to be able to play an instrument or you need to find someone else who can. With music notation software, you're able to hear what you've written immediately, using the computer playback. Some examples of music writing software include: Sibelius First, Finale and MagicScore Maestro. For free music writing software, try MuseScore and Lilypond. If you play or have access to an instrument, you can try playing your melodies using your instrument to hear how they sound before writing them down. Using the outline you created earlier, construct each individual movement. While writing, you'll need to be constantly making decisions regarding different musical techniques and styles within your piece. Some of those techniques include: Dynamics Rhythms Intervals Harmonies Theme development Counterpoint Voice leading Orchestration Traditionally, symphonies are written for the following instrumental types: strings (violin, viola, cello, and bass) woodwinds (2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, and 2 bassoons) brass (2 French horn, 2 trumpets with a small orchestra) and percussion (2 tympani, triangle, and cymbal) for a small orchestra. A medium size is when you can add a piccolo, English horn, bass clarinet, contra bassoon to the woodwinds and double the number of French horns and add 3 trombone plus a tuba to the brass as well as extra percussion instruments. If you can go larger, go for it. You don't however, have to stick with traditional instrumentation. If the instruments are available and there are players to play them, feel free to use other instruments in your symphony either adding them or using them like different colors (eg. replace one traditional instrument with one non-traditional one). For example, the inventor of the saxophone family designed his instruments for the orchestra (built in the keys of B and E) as well as the military band. You could also include an instrument that's been revived like one of the recorders, the viola da gamba or the oboe da caccia for example. Some symphonies also have vocal accompaniment. Try giving the same melodies to different instruments at different times to create a motif within the piece. Pay attention to layers and texture. There should never be any more than five layers happening at one time.

You should have a professional check to see that your furnace is working properly. Replace the furnace filter monthly and verify that nothing is obstructing an outdoor heat pump. Verify that your furnace is not on "emergency heat". This will turn off energy-efficient settings and could double heating costs. Fireplaces can be a good way to heat your home, but an open chimney also exposes you to the elements. Be sure to have a fireplace door that you can close. In extreme cold weather, starting a fire can be counterproductive, because it will also allow this cold air in. If possible, you should have a professional visit your house to see if you have any insulation problems. Check for leaks in your weather stripping around your doors, windows, holes around pipes and the circumference of your garage floor. Use caulk to close up any holes. On sunny days open your drapes to allow heat in. Be sure that heating outlets are free from obstructions. Move furniture and drapery away from the vent. Clean the vent regularly to establish proper airflow. Know what to leave alone. An insulated garage, porch, and attic are usually not worth the money that it would take to heat them. Close heat registers to save the expense of warming these spaces. Every degree that you lower your thermostat you are likely to see a 3% decrease in your energy bill. There are many things you can do do embrace cooler temperatures. Among them are: Turning the thermostat down to 5 to 10C (41 to 50F) when you leave the house to see substantial savings. Wearing warm clothes when home. Eating hot, spicy food and drinking hot beverages. Exercising. Engaging in stressful activities. Note that stress isn't always bad, such as an exciting video game. Better yet, combine exercise with stress, by playing active indoor games, like air hockey or Dance Dance Revolution (home version).[1] Evaporating water can cool the house dramatically. The walls and roof can hold heat from sunlight, then release it, inside the house, many hours later. Don't forget the roof! Avoid this practice during a drought.
