In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Keep your legs together and straight out behind you. Put your palms flat on the floor next to your shoulders, fingers pointed forward. Your forearms should be approximately a shoulder-width apart. Support your body weight with your toes and forearms. Keep your torso level with the floor. Your elbows should be bent, pulled in close to your body and pointed back. Keep both palms flat and firmly on the ground. Push up and then extend through the elbows until your arms are in straight-arm plank position. Your torso should be rigid to keep your core engaged. Tuck your elbows close to your body. Squeeze your glutes. When your chest touches the floor, slowly push back up into the straight-arm plank position. For maximum stability, put the pressure of your weight on the outside of your hands. This also prevents injuries. Keep your shoulders firm and your back stable. Avoid using the bottom of your hands and your wrists to hold your weight. Keep your hips and torso straight to engage your abs. If this feels too difficult, modify the push up by dropping down to your knees (instead of holding your legs straight). Rest for 60 seconds between sets. To build mass, you must consistently increase the reps at each session. Minimizing rest time between sets will also build mass. If 10 is too many, drop down to five reps and work your way up from there. This is a modification of the traditional push up. Stand an arm's length away from a sturdy wall and put your palms flat on the wall. Palms should be at shoulder height. Position your hands so that your thumbs are touching. Keep your elbows pulled in close to your body. Push back up by extending through the elbows, just like a traditional push up, until your arms are straight. Start with three sets of 10 reps. Rest for 60 seconds in between sets. If 10 is too many, drop down to five reps and work your way up from there. Increase the intensity and decrease the rest time consistently to build mass.
Summary: Lie on your stomach on the ground. Push your body up with your arms. Flex your elbows and lower your body slowly to the ground. Push back up into the straight-arm plank. Start with three sets of 10 reps. Add standing wall push ups to your routine. Press your body toward the wall.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Carving can be dangerous if you aren't careful, so you should consider wearing some basic safety supplies to protect yourself. Wear a carving glove on your non-dominant hand, or the hand you hold the wood with. Cover your eyes with safety glasses, too. Wood chips will start flying, and even if the piece is small, stray scraps can still find their way into your eyes if you don't protect yourself. When possible, use a pencil to lightly sketch the intended cuts and gouges before picking up any of your tools. These lines can create guides, which will make it easier to remain precise. You may make mistakes if a tool slips, but you won't make mistakes based on miscalculation. If you do make mistakes, there's no going back. You'll need to alter your original plan to incorporate the mistake or start over with new wood. Ideally, you should hold the wood piece in place by clamping onto the table or inside a vise. Doing so will free both hands, making it easier to work. Never keep the wood in your lap as you carve it. For small carvings, like whittled pieces, you can hold the wood in your non-dominant hand as you work. Keep your non-dominant hand behind the cutting edge of the tool. Remove as much wood as possible until you can visualize the basic shape of the final piece within the block of wood. For small pieces, you can cut the basic shape using knives or chisels. For larger pieces, you may need to use a band saw or chain saw. Don't be afraid of cutting away too much. As long as you do not cut past your sketched guidelines, you won't ruin the wood. You can go slow if doing so makes you feel more comfortable, but it can take a long time to obtain even a basic shape if you're too shy with your tools. After obtaining the basic shape, use large u-gouges to remove as much excess material as possible until the overall form of the piece develops. Identify the largest planes and work on those forms first. As the larger shapes come into focus, gradually ease your way to the smaller, more well-defined forms. Once the overall form is complete, switch to your smaller tools and add detail to the carving. While you should always have razor sharp tools, it's especially important during this step. Dull tools can nick the surface of the wood and ruin the appearance of the carving. Work on one area of the carving at a time. Complete the larger details and foreground details first, then progress to the small details and background. If you're satisfied with your work and want to preserve the carving, you'll need to apply a wood finish that can protect the surface from moisture, oils, dirt, and other debris. Paste wax is relatively clear and allows the natural color of the wood to come through. It works well for decorative carvings but can wear off when applied to frequently handled carvings. Danish oil can tint the color of the wood slightly, but it tends to be quite durable and can be used for frequently handled carvings. Spray urethane and polyurethane are the most durable finishes and generally last for long periods even if the carving is handled frequently. You'll need to apply the finish during moderate, dry weather and allow it to dry thoroughly in between coats.
Summary: Wear safety supplies. Sketch the design. Secure the wood. Cut the basic shape. Rough out the form. Add fine details. Protect the finished piece.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Read the opinion all the way through before beginning your brief to get a basic understanding of what happened, how the case got to the particular Court, and what the Court ruled. Make note of the plaintiffs and defendants, as well as whether it was a criminal or a civil suit. If one citizen has taken another to court, then it is a civil suit. If the government is seeking prosecution, it is a criminal case. The name of the case (e.g., Roe v. Wade) and the full citation should be first in any case brief. The citation includes the date, and information about the court(s) that the case passed through. Franks v. Delaware, Supreme Court of the United States, 1978, 438 U.S. 154, 98 S. Ct. 2674, 57 L. ed. 667 is an example of a title and citation. Be sure that your citation includes the year of the decision and the Court that rendered it. When a case is decided in trial court, the loser often has the right to appeal the decision to a higher court, called the appellate court. If this is the case, the loser from the original trial who is filing an appeal will be known as the Appellant in your brief and the winner from the trial will be known as appellee. If the loser does not have this right, because the appeal fails in the appellate court, and a request for appeal is denied by the Supreme Court, then a writ of certiorari is filed. This requests a hearing so that the lawyers can state their case as to why it should be reopened. In this case, the filer of the writ is known as the petitioner and the person who must respond to that petition is the respondent. Which Court decided what? Determine which party appealed the ruling. Say the Minnesota Superior Court upheld the search of a Defendants car and then the defendant appealed to the Appellate Court, which upheld the trial Court's ruling. The defendant then appealed to the Minnesota Supreme Court, where the case stands partially on the argument presented in your brief.
Summary:
Read the case. Title the brief. Determine whether the brief is for an appeal or a petition for certiorari. Learn the procedural history of the case.
