Article: While the cheesecake is still in the oven, use an oven mitt to gently shake the pan. Don't be too rough with your still-warm dessert or it may crack. Simply jiggle the pan a small amount. Take care not to get water in the pan if you have baked your cheesecake using a water bath. When you shake the pan and a 2in (5.1cm) area in the center jiggles slightly, the cheesecake is done. If there is a large, jiggly area, or if liquid breaks the surface or sloshes over the edges of the pan, the cheesecake is not finished cooking. Bake the cheesecake for another 5 minutes or so before checking it again for doneness. If you used a fair amount of sour cream in your cheesecake, it will jiggle more than a cake that is filled primarily with cream cheese or ricotta. There will be a large soft spot in the center, so look for slightly brown, puffed-up edges to indicate when the cheesecake is done. Keep in mind, also, that the center will continue cook and firm up slightly as the cheesecake cools. If you continue cooking the cheesecake until the center is firm and doesn't jiggle it will be baked for too long.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Shake the cheesecake pan gently. Check to see how much the center jiggles. Expect sour cream filling to jiggle more than cream cheese filling.
Article: If you truly cannot find common ground with the person, try to not be around them whenever possible. Walk away from the negativity and pessimism if you can and focus on the more positive people in the group. If you cannot walk away from, try to make the interactions as brief as possible. Never let the person you hate know that they are getting on your nerves. If they can see they are getting a reaction out of you, they are likely to keep doing whatever it is that upsets you. Instead remind yourself that you will not stoop to their level, and refocus your attention on someone else in the group. Remember, the other person is likely just trying to get you to react, so don't give them the satisfaction! If you are nice, fun to interact with, other people, including your friend, will want to be around you. You'll be able to show everyone that spending time with you will be drama free and that you are not interested in the conflict with the other person. Best case scenario: your friends could eventually lose interest in spending time with the person you hate, especially if they are always focused on the conflict. Make sure if you are in a group that you are not seated or standing directly next to the person you don't get along with. If they sit down next to you, you can choose to make the best of it, or you can excuse yourself to go to the bathroom and when you return choose a new spot. Space will give you a better chance of engaging others in conversation and gives you a bit of perspective. Alternatively, find something else to do. If you and the group are all going to an arcade, you can play different games. While you are in a group or while they are talking use the time to figure out what it is about them that bothers you. Use this to pinpoint what triggers you about them. Remember you cannot change their personality or behavior, but you can change your perceptions and the way you react to it once you figure out what it is. For example, if their accent is annoying, remind yourself that this is a part of who they are. Try to see the world from their point of view; your accent may annoy them too! Take their culture into consideration. Some cultures may find certain behaviors acceptable--those same behaviors may be considered rude in others!
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Avoid being around the person you dislike. Keep your reactions under control. Be the happy, confident, and fun person you are. Allow for space between you. Use the time to figure out why they bother you.
Article: This is often the last step in a telephone survey. While it is often optional, it's typically very useful because it allows the data to be coded more accurately. Demographic data includes gender, age, political affiliation, religious affiliation, gender identity and ethnicity. It's very important to thank your participant for their time and effort. Aside from common courtesy, thanking your participant is key to the overall success of the survey. Many phone surveys are recorded for quality purposes, so it's important to follow all the steps and conclude the survey properly. You might ask your respondent something like, "Do you have any suggestions for how I might improve this survey?" This lets the respondent know that you value their opinion. Be sure to let them know you're grateful for their feedback. After you've ended the call, take stock of how the survey went and what you could do to improve. Check the time to see if you stuck to your schedule and communicated the questions efficiently. Conduct a mini survey of yourself by asking questions about your performance and responding as honestly as possible. This will help you improve as an interviewer while you practice for your next survey.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Obtain demographic data from each respondent. Thank your respondent. Analyze your performance.
