Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Add sodium bromide to the water to create a bromide bank. Activate the bromide by adding a shock treatment to the spa water. Test the water with bromine test strips to find the levels. Use bromine tablets to maintain the bromine level in the water. Shock the spa weekly to reactivate the bromide present in the water.

Answer: For bromine to be a more effective sanitizing agent in your spa, there needs to be a residual level of bromides present in the water. When you're setting up bromine in your spa water, start by pouring in granular sodium bromide according to the directions on the packaging. A common measurement is to add 2 ounces (56.7 grams) of sodium bromide per 500 gallons (1,900L) of water. But follow the directions on the packaging to be sure. You can find sodium bromide at pool supply stores and online. Use a spa shock treatment to sanitize your water and activate the bromide ions to turn them into bromine. Add the treatment according to the instructions on the packaging. Turn the jets on full blast to circulate the treatment for 10 minutes. Look for spa shock treatments at pool supply stores and online. Once it's activated, the bromine will continuously sanitize the water, keeping it clean. The ideal range of bromine levels in your spa water are between 3.0 and 5.0 parts per million (ppm). Dip a bromine test strip into your spa water and wait for the chemicals to react and change the color of the strip. Compare the strip to the color code on the packaging to identify the range of bromine present in the water. If the bromine levels are too high, wait a day or so before using the spa to allow the levels to drop. Test the water again to see if it falls in the ideal range. Once the bromine levels are stabilized, add bromine tablets into a floater and place it in your spa. The tablets will slowly dissolve and release bromine into the water to replace the chemical that is lost over time and keep a healthy balance in the water. If your bromine level drops too low, add an extra bromine tablet to your floater to raise it. You can find bromine tablets and floaters at pool supply stores and online. Read the directions on the packaging of the bromine tablets to make sure you're adding the right amount. Shocking the water regularly will keep mold and bacteria from building up in the pipes and internal workings. It will also reactivate the bromide reserve present in the water to boost the bromine level, which will keep your water safe and sanitized. Make sure nobody uses the spa when you add a shock treatment. Follow the directions on the packaging to add the correct dosage and to allow enough time for the shock treatment to dilute to safe levels.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Play patterns to highlight the singer's melody. Let the singer set the melody and tempo. Become fluent with the songs you will be performing. Build a rapport with the singer.

Answer: As the accompanist, it is your role to highlight the voice and style of the singer. Using patterns will help to complement their voice without detracting from the melody. A solid vocabulary of patterns will make you a better accompanist, so try memorizing a handful of patterns that you will be able to use with any song. The arpeggio is a common pattern that can be easily mastered. It is simply the act of playing the notes of a chord one at a time, rather than all at once. Try breaking up and rolling chords. If you are playing a C, roll out the chord by playing C, E, and G. Repeat, or go back down the order. The singer will set the melody, the tempo and the overall tone of the song. When you are accompanying a singer, it is the role of the pianist to take the back seat and let the singer run the show. The end result will be a seamless collaboration between singer and pianist, not to mention the creation of beautiful music. Allow the singer to take charge of the tempo and follow their lead. You can fill in melody during extended instrumental sections, but make sure this is something that you've practiced together. Having a full understanding of the songs you will be accompanying will help you to master the music. Play them in your car or while you're cleaning the house. Listen to multiple versions or interpretations of the song (played by other performers) to get inspiration for how best to compliment the singer. Building a positive relationship with the singer will enhance your ability to perform together. If you and the singer enjoy creating music together, your shared bond will translate into the performance and audience. A good relationship with the singer will also help you to become more in tune with their needs. Showing up to practice on time and ready to play will show the singer that you value their time. Be respectful of their requests or suggestions. Practice being graceful and kind when sharing and receiving constructive criticism. Try going out for a drink or meal after practice. Establish a friendship with the singer that is outside of your practice time. Hanging out together in a different setting can help strengthen your relationship and allow you to get to know them better.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Think about a time when you felt really emotional. Imagine yourself being weak or helpless. Create a sad scenario using your imagination. Cry happy tears if you don't want to feel sad.

Answer:
If you need to cry on command, thinking of a time when you felt sad can help put you in the right frame of mind for tears. For example, it may help to think back to the loss of a loved one or a particularly bad breakup. Other emotional triggers might include losing something special to you, getting in trouble with your parents, or missing out on something you worked really hard to achieve. Many people have fears that deep down they are not as strong as they like to believe. Picturing yourself as small and weak might put you in a vulnerable mindset that can lead to real tears. Once you tap into that feeling, let the helpless feeling flow out of you in the fear of tears. For example, a common exercise in acting classes is to imagine yourself as a small child whom no one cares for. Sometimes, thinking back on a bad experience from the past can lead to real emotions that are hard to overcome. If this is the case, try to imagine something sad that could happen hypothetically rather than thinking of something personal. For instance, you could try thinking of puppies being left on the side of the road. You want to save them all, but you can only take one. As you're holding the one puppy you got to save, you look at all of the other puppies that aren't being held. Try imagining things that make your eyes fill up with happy tears, like a time someone gave you a meaningful gift, veterans being reunited with their families, or someone triumphing in the face of adversity. As long as you're not smiling, no one will be able to tell if you're crying happy or sad tears.
