article: There are two ways to connect your wires, and it matters which way you choose. You will want to wire in series whenever you would like to raise the impedance of your system and wire in parallel whenever you would like to lower the impedance of your system. Wiring in series means that you start by connecting the positive output terminal of your amp to the positive wire on speaker A. Then you connect the negative wire of speaker A to the positive wire of speaker B. Finally, the circuit is complete when you connect the negative wire of speaker B to the negative output terminal of your amp. This can be done for any number of speakers, so long as you follow the pattern (amp+ +speaker- +speaker- +speaker- +speaker- +speaker- -amp). Wiring in parallel means that you will connect the positive output terminal of your amp to the positive wire of all speakers in your system. Then you would connect the negative output terminal of your amp to the negative wire of all speakers. These two wiring schemes have dramatically different effects on the impedance and power output in your system. Wiring in series increases the impedance of your system. This decreases the amount of power received by each speaker. Each speaker added will also raise the impedance of the system. Wiring in parallel decreases the impedance of your system. This means more power will go to each speaker because adding speakers to the circuit will lower the impedance of the system. The stereo head serves as the control panel for the system and sends signals to the amp. The amplifier, or amp, magnifies the signal from the stereo head and sends it to the speakers, which produce sound. The sub-woofers are the speakers responsible for producing sounds at a very low frequency.

Write an article based on this "Decide on a position you feel capable of arguing for. Become well-informed about the position you are supporting. Begin a debate by clearly stating a thesis. Go through your debate points in a logical order. Mention only the strongest points supporting your argument. Attempt to resolve each point before moving to the next issue."
article: Ideally, your position will cover a subject you really believe in. If you're passionate about something, you most likely know a lot about it and can come up with a few convincing arguments. However, during some informal debates, you may not get a chance to choose your position. When this happens, keep your assigned position in mind while you come up with arguments for it. If you're part of a debate group, you may be randomly assigned a position and told to debate it with a partner. For instance, you might be asked to support school uniforms even if you don't think they are a good thing. Some debaters find that working with unfamiliar subjects is easier than ones you're passionate about. You may not know as much about the position you're arguing for, but you will also be less emotionally invested in it. If you have time to prepare, the points you make will be much more effective. Make sure you understand not only your own position, but the opposing one as well. Read the evidence for both sides to formulate strong arguments. Search for good examples and statistics you can use to help make your point. Knowing your opponent's position allows you to anticipate objections and respond with more effective counterpoints. In a formal debate, you must state your argument, followed by supporting facts with plenty of evidence. Informal debates don't require this same sort of order or evidence, but having supporting examples will still make your point much stronger. A thesis is a brief statement of your position and usually includes your reasons for supporting it. Starting out with your thesis tells your opponent and anyone else exactly what you're arguing for. Informal debates can be a little messy, so if you don't state your point, people may get confused and side against you. For example, you might say, "I believe school uniforms are bad because they take away individuality, which is an important part of developing a personal identity in childhood." Try following your thesis with a quick summary of your points. Use your strongest evidence-based points. For instance: "I believe the moon was once a part of the Earth because geological data shows that the moon's rocks are similar to those found on Earth." If you can get your opponent to agree with your basic premise, you will be in a much better position during the debate. Try to mentally order your points in your head before the debate begins. Plan on leading with a strong point and building upon it. Lead into each point you make afterward and make sure they all illustrate your thesis. If you have time to do so before a debate, jot down a quick list of the points you plan on making. Check that they flow well in an order that is easy to understand. For example, you could start off by criticizing the effect school uniforms have on individuality. You might then illustrate how they prevent children from developing and point out studies showing that uniforms don't improve grades or reduce bullying. Weaker points leave your argument open to criticism. If you're not well-versed in a point you're trying to make or don't have an opportunity to include it in your argument, don't bring it up. Informal debates tend to move quickly and can be a little chaotic, so don't expect to have time to describe all possible points you could make. Focus on the ones that best represent your position. For instance, you may wish to talk about how school uniforms cost money, are a burden on poor families, or feel uncomfortable. It's difficult to work these points in while you're talking about individuality. Informal debates aren't scripted. Even if you make a list of points, you may not get a chance to talk about all of them. Keep in mind that your opponent may also give you an opportunity to talk about points you didn't intend on bringing up as well! If you're stuck disagreeing with your opponent on a certain point, it can come up repeatedly throughout the argument. Ultimately, you end up having to "agree to disagree" and no one wins. Say all you have to say on the subject, respond as best you can to your opponent's objections, and then introduce the next point. If your opponent tries to divert your attention, bring the discussion back to the original topic. One way to reach a resolution is to get your opponent to agree on some point. You could say, "We can all agree that school uniforms are very restrictive, right?" If you sense a diversion coming, you could say something like, "Let's go back to your last point."

Use a hydrometer to check the specific gravity of the must. Add the yeast to the must. Seal the container of must and attach an airlock with a rubber stopper."

The first stage of making mead is a mixture called a "must." Bring the water to a boil in a large pot and add it to the container you will ferment your mead in, then stir in honey. Do not add the honey to the boiling pot of water or it will alter the flavor of the honey, and the honey may stick to the bottom of the pot. Make sure the honey has fully combined with the water before moving on. Once the honey has fully combined with the water, you can add your fruit and spices to the must. Place your fresh fruit into the mixture without smashing or muddling the fruit to avoid changing the color of the mead. Add your tea bag full of spices and herbs into the liquid and give it a nice stir. For fresh fruit, add 1 pound (0.45kg) per 1 gallon (3.8L) of water. For spices like nutmeg and cinnamon, add 2 tbsp (~14 g) per 1 gallon (3.8L) of water. For fresh herbs, add 1 cup (~25 g) per 1 gallon (3.8L) of water. For dried herbs, add 2 tbsp (~3 g) per 1 gallon (3.8L) of water. After you've combined the ingredients to form the must, you can use a hydrometer to check the specific gravity of the mixture. This will allow you to determine the potential alcohol content of your mead. It's important to check the gravity of the must before you add your yeast because it will be difficult to alter the mixture once the yeast begins working to ferment the must. The baseline reading of your must should be somewhere between 1.060 and 1.120 on the hydrometer. Once you've got the must flavor profile and ABV that you want, it's time to add the yeast. A standard packet of brewing yeast is enough for up to 5 gallons (19L) of mead, so use 1 gram (or one-fifth of the packet) if you're only making 1 gallon (3.8L) of mead. Simply stir the yeast into the must and mix it in thoroughly. Adding too much yeast will only make the fermentation process go a little faster and will not damage or alter the taste of your mead. When the enzymes in the yeast begin to break down the sugars in the honey, it will release gasses that can build up in the container and potentially explode. Use a rubber stopper that fits over the opening in the container, then place the stem of the airlock into the hole of the rubber stopper, and place them both into the opening of the container. It's important that you have an airlock so you can release the gasses while keeping the mead free from any contamination. Whether you're using a plastic container or a glass carboy, it needs to be sealed so the fermentation process can begin, and an airlock is needed to allow the gasses to escape.
