INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Don't try to sneak an unlabeled box past a shipping company in order to save a bit of money. You'll get much better results if you use a company that knows how to deal with live animal shipping. For example: The U.S. Postal Service accepts all live fish shipments, so long as you follow their packaging and labeling requirements. UPS will usually ship live fish if you give them proper notification beforehand and follow their packaging requirements. FedEx doesn't ship live fish as part of their regular servicethey may, however, provide business-to-business service through their Live Animal Desk. When it comes to shipping fish, the shorter the shipping time, the better. Overnight shipping is usually more expensive, but it gives the fish the best chance of arriving in good health. Work with your shipper to arrange for as few transfers and layovers as possible. If the fish will be shipped via air for at least part of the journey, try to arrange for climate-controlled storage during air travel. If you can get your fish to their recipient within 24 hours, the results will usually be good. 48 hours is more risky but often turns out okay. Longer shipping times become increasingly more dicey. Contact the recipient and make sure that they will be ready to receive the fish when it gets there. Ideally, they should be able to accept the package directly from the delivery person. That way, they can open the box and start acclimating the fish to their new home right away.

SUMMARY: Use a shipper that accepts live animal shipments. Pay for overnight/express shipping whenever possible. Coordinate with the shipping company and recipient for the box's arrival.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you have not yet done so, husk the corn and pull away any threads or strings. Rinse the corn, then chop off any bad spots. Cut the corn in half when you are done. Do not grease the baking dish. Do not add any salt to the water, or it will make the corn tough. As the water heats up, it will steam the corn. Cut the butter into cubes first, then melt it in the microwave or in a small saucepan over the stove. Stir in the parsley and salt, then set it aside. The parsley is optional, but it will give the corn more flavor. You can also use a pair of tongs to transfer the corn from the baking dish to your serving platter. Use a pair of tongs to turn the corn cobs around in the baking dish. This will help the butter coat them evenly.
Summary: Preheat your oven to 400F (205C). Get the corn ready. Place the corn into a 3-quart (3 liters) glass baking dish. Fill the baking dish with inch (1.27 centimeters) of water. Cover the dish with foil, and bake it for 30 minutes. Mix the parsley, butter, and salt in a small bowl just before the corn is done steaming. Take the corn out of the oven, and drain the water from it. Pour the butter mixture over the corn just before serving it.

Q: In the classroom, you should be ready to learn and not view it as a time to laugh at jokes. Sit in the front row, if you don't have assigned seating. Avoid classmates who like to joke around in class. This attitude will sink into your study time. Concentrating on one subject for an entire study session can be counter-productive and vary on what subject you are studying. This will freshen your concentration by fixing your eyes onto a new topic. It can be the hardest thing to do in today's world of distractions. If you begin to feel like you're not being as productive, say to yourself, "be here now." Then slowly focus back to what you were studying. It might sound gimmicky, but reminding yourself in this way could help. It doesn't work for everyone. Say this with a deep breathe while your eyes are closed for a deeper calming effect.
A: Give your full attention. Change topics. Be here now.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Arrange the empty dishes around the table, taking care not to encroach on any one guest's personal space. Pair each dish with its serving utensil at this point, too. If any guests are bringing food, transfer it to a dish that you already own and account for it in the table setup. Leave nothing to chance. Each guest should have easy access to salt, pepper, butter, gravy, cranberries, and other condiments. The rule of thumb is to provide one condiment for every six people. Also include a pitcher or two of water if you have room. You shouldn't incorporate any plates or silverware for dessert, nor cups for coffee or tea. Instead, keep that collection of things separate but within easy access for a post-dinner pick-me-up. Now that you aren't running around the table as much, set up the chairs. If your chairs don't match, arrange them in a way that balances out the eye when you're looking at it from afar. Place chairs that don't fit in among the everyday chairs.

SUMMARY:
Determine which dishes will fit which food items. Disperse condiments evenly. Set up a dessert station away from the dinner table. Add the chairs around the table.
