INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Oftentimes, Millennials will ask for advice or for an opinion. Respond to email quickly, even if it's just to give a brief answer or inform them that their question is part of a larger discussion you are planning to have later in the day or workweek. Millennials might have expectations that seem unreasonable or strange to you, but the first step in communicating with them is recognizing that these expectations come from pressures they have in their current lives. The best thing to do is to talk to them and try to understand their expectations while simultaneously setting boundaries about what is reasonable. For example, struggles like paying off massive student loans or trying to find a place to live in increasingly unstable housing markets can manifest themselves in the workplace through the desire to get promoted quickly. Respond to such worries by explaining that, while they can't be promoted within a month, or become a Director of something within a year, there are opportunities for career advancement. You don't need to schedule a formal employee review every month, but what you can do is to provide small, informal responses weekly or even daily. Millennials value transparency, and helping them know what your expectations are (and how they're doing in regards to those expectations) help them meet and even exceed those expectations. While Millennials do value frequent praise and transparency, not all of the praise has to be positive. In general, a Millennial would rather you recognize they've accomplished something (a neutral recognition is fine) and then give them honest, precise feedback about what they've accomplished, even if that feedback is negative. Millennials are the generation that's most open to mentoring and coaching. They value advice from more "experienced" team members, and enjoy having someone to talk to about work. A mentor should be someone who is willing to answer questions about the job and the company as a whole, and who isn't afraid to take some time out of their week to check in. Integrate technology like Slack or Skype to help your employees increase efficiency. These tools serve as forces for collaboration and execution, and can help cut down on long meetings, excessive emailing, or other unproductive workplace habits.

SUMMARY: Practice responding quickly. Set expectations. Provide regular feedback. Don't feel the need to only provide positive feedback. Establish mentoring chains. Leverage technology in your workspace.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The pot should be big enough to accommodate your lobster tails. If you don't have a steamer basket, you could use a small metal colander to keep the tails from being submerged in the water. The amount of water will vary based on how large the pot is, but aim to fill it a couple inches. The basket or colander should keep the lobster tails out of, but close to, the water. Then, cover the pot with the lid and bring the water to a boil on medium-high heat. Use sharp kitchen shears to cut the exoskeleton, or shell, of the lobster tail down the center. Avoid cutting the meat or cutting into the tail fan. Spread the shell apart with your hands, then pull or cut out the vein running down the middle. Remove the lid and carefully add the lobster tails to the steamer basket or on top of the colander. The size of the lobster tails dictates how long they should cook for. Cook 3-6 oz. (85-170 g) tails for 4-6 minutes. Cook 6-7 oz. (170-198 g) tails for 6-8 minutes. Cook 8-10 oz. (227-283 g) tails for 8-10 minutes. Cook 10-16 oz. (283-454 g) tails for 9-11 minutes. Cook 16-20 oz. (454-567 g) tails for 10-12 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, remove the pot from the heat and turn off the burner. Carefully remove the lobster tails using tongs. Check to make sure the meat in the center of the tail is fully cookedit should be an opaque, white color. If it's not, steam them for another minute or 2. To make drawn butter, simply melt the butter over low heat. You can flavor it with lemon juice or salt and pepper, if desired. Then, dunk the lobster tail meat in the butter and enjoy!
Summary: Put a steamer basket in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid. Add 2 inches (5.1cm) of cold water to the pot and bring it to a boil. Cut the lobster tails down the center and remove the vein. Place the lobster tails in the steamer basket and cook for 4-12 minutes. Remove the lobster tails with tongs. Serve the lobster tails with drawn butter.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Holding a mallet is like holding a drumstick or bike handle. Use your thumb to support the outside of the mallet. Wrap your index finger around the other side. This finger should not be on top of the mallet. Move your other fingers under your index finger. Your grip should be about halfway up the mallet shaft. One way to check your grip is to open up your hand. Try to balance the mallet on your index finger. The spot where the mallet feels balanced is where your grip should be. Stay relaxed as you move the mallets towards the glockenspiel. Hold the mallets about three inches (7.62 cm) above the keys at all times. Adjust your hands so that the mallets are level with the ground. Try striking one of the keys. Listen as the note vibrates cleanly. Striking near the ends of the bars produces a more muted sound. The key to good sound is a gentle strike. Don't use force. Instead, bring the mallet down gently and allow the impact with the bar to bounce it back into position. Striking too hard will also cause the bar to vibrate too much and produce a muted sound. Don't draw back when the mallet rebounds off the bar. Return it to a holding position right above the keys. As long as you keep the mallets about three inches above the keys, you'll be able to play notes in rapid succession. Strike the second note with your other hand. If you hit the first one with your left, hit the next one with your right. If you hit it with your right, switch to your left. You will need to cross over your arms as you play. As you advance, you may need to play two notes with the same hand. You do this to minimize crossovers between your hands. Alternating technique is needed for playing two nearby notes very quickly.

SUMMARY:
Pick up the mallets between your thumb and index finger. Hold the mallets straight and over the glockenspiel. Aim for the middle of the bar. Bounce the mallet off the bar. Keep the mallet near the bars. Alternate hands when playing notes.
