INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Now that you have a good idea of the sound your completed song will have, arrange your rhyme into verses (16 bars apiece). You can start each verse with nearly any rhyme, but it's a good practice to end with a rhyme that makes a point. This way your verse doesn't seem to be left hanging. A popular song structure would be: Intro Verse Chorus Verse Chorus Verse Middle 8 (a.k.a. breakdown) Chorus Outro Practice rapping your song on your chosen beat to work out the bugs and optimize your written verses. Cut out as many words as possible and then cut out some more. Remember, a rap song is not an English paper; only use the words that are needed to make your point, nothing more. Don't be afraid to add a pause or two, which can help to enhance a certain point in the song. Rap your lyrics over your beat until you have memorized every breath and you are sick of hearing them. Only then will you be ready to produce your song. Either hook up with a producer to get the recordings and mastering completed or self-produce the song. Put it on SoundCloud. Create a SoundCloud account. Edit your profile, then upload your track. Remember to use hash tags. Be online every day to get people's attention and reply to every question you get from anyone.

SUMMARY: Structure the song. Rap and refine. Memorize your song. Produce the song.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Aerobic or cardio exercise will help burn calories and support your weight loss. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that adults perform up to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio each week, or up to 60 minutes per day 5 days of the week. Try a variety of exercises like: walking, jogging/running, biking, using the elliptical, swimming or dancing. In addition to helping support weight loss or a healthy weight, cardiovascular activities have also been shown to help manage diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. In addition to cardiovascular exercise, you should also include a few days of strength or resistance training. The CDC recommends 2 days of strength training for at least 20 minutes a session. It's also recommended to do a variety of exercises so that you will work each major muscle group (legs, chest, core, arms, etc). There are a variety of activities that can count as strength training including: lifting free weights, using weight machines, yoga and pilates. There are a variety of exercises that have been promoted to help get rid of neck fat; however, most have the opposite effect. Although you might think that working or strengthening the muscles around your neck could help get rid of fat, these exercises may only bulk up your neck muscles. Bulky muscles will make your neck look thicker, not smaller. In general, when you lose weight, you will notice a decrease in the amount of fat that you carry around your neck.

SUMMARY: Perform cardiovascular exercises. Do 2 days of strength training. Avoid neck toning exercises.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: An aquarium can be a good choice to keep mice. If you opt for an aquarium, make sure it's at least 10 gallons (about 38 liters) and has a mesh lid to prevent a mouse from escaping. If you have one to three mice, a bigger aquarium is necessary. Four to five mice need at least a 15 gallon (about 58 liters) aquarium. Five to six mice need a 20 gallon (about 78 liters) aquarium. In general, however, bigger is better for any mouse. Get as big of an aquarium as you can fit in your home. A wire cage is also an option for mice. While an aquarium is usually a better option, you can opt for a cage if you cannot find an aquarium. If you get a cage, make sure to select one that's safe for mice. The size of the cage should be at least 24 by 12 inches (about 61 by 30 centimeters). There should be no more than a quarter inch between wires, as this will prevent mice from escaping. Substrate is the material lining the bottom of the cage. For mice, opt for shredded paper that does not contain ink. Line this on the bottom of the cage. A few centimeters of substrate is adequate for a mouse. Mice are sensitive to heat and cold, so it's important to keep them in an area that's consistently room temperature. Do not put your mouse's enclosure next to heaters, furnaces, or other sources of heat. You should also avoid cold, drafty rooms. Certain types of houses are dangerous for mice. Never keep a mouse in a cardboard box or a wooden enclosure, as mice may chew through these materials. You should also be careful about mice habitats, with a lot of tubes and accessories, sold at pet stores. Mice can get trapped and injured in these kinds of enclosures. A mouse's enclosure needs daily cleaning. Each day, use a cat litter scoop to remove soiled bedding. Once a week, you should give the enclosure a thorough cleaning. Place your mice in a separate container. Remove all the bedding, any cardboard toys, and food and water bowls. Use dish washer detergent and water to wash the insides of the enclosure, as well as food and water bowls and plastic toys. Allow everything to dry completely. Replace all the bedding with new material. Place food and water bowls, as well as plastic toys, back in the cage. Discard old cardboard toys and replace them with new ones.

SUMMARY: Get the right aquarium size. Use a wire cage. Add substrate. Place the enclosure in the right location. Avoid dangerous houses. Clean the cage regularly.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You'll need sharp sand (also called concrete sand), Portland cement, and water. How much of each will depend on how much mud you need. Both sharp sand and Portland cement should be readily available at your local hardware supply store. Mix the cement and the sand together until they're well blended. Different people will recommend different ratios for mixing (4:1, 5:1, 6:1, and 7:1), but a ratio of 5 parts sand to 1 part cement is the best starting option. "Stickier", stronger mud should be made using the 4:1 ratio, but this is difficult to mix. With the dry ingredients thoroughly mixed add in water slowly until it reaches the right consistency. It should be vaguely damp and stick together when you compress it in your hand. The consistency will be similar to peanut butter. What type of sand you use and what the environment is like where you live will affect how much water you need to use. Use less if you know that you live in a wet area. Spread your mud as needed for your project. Adjust the ratios if you find they don't work for you.

SUMMARY:
Gather your materials. Mix the cement and sand. Add in the water. Spread and adjust.
