In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Study sports nutrition to learn the best foods to eat, and when, so that your body will have peak energy levels at match time. Without energy you simply cannot play at 100%, and in close games, you will need 100%. Even what you eat after the game will matter. Aim for 50 grams (1.8oz) of carbohydrates after each session to replenish your energy. If you wait until match time, it will be too late. Water is typically enough for your hydration needs. You don't need to worry about drinking sports drinks unless your games are very intense or your practice sessions are longer than 90 minutes. Make sure your racquet and your strings are in good shape. Bring a back-up racquet of the exact model and the same strings. Changing to a different racquet in the middle of a tournament will screw up your game. Use a checklist so you don't forget anything you need. You'll often meet people on tournaments on regular basis asking if you have an extra pair of shoes, socks, shirt or shorts, because they forgot theirs. Don't be that person! Bring extra shirts. Squash is a sweaty game, and you'll want to have dry shirts available when you need them. Also, bring a towel to wipe off your sweat. Use a sweat resistant grip on your racquet, so it does not slip out of your hand. Being late will produce unnecessary stress. Get there in plenty of time to change, get familiar with the location, use the toilet, etc. If you're playing in a tournament, as soon as you arrive, figure out who your opponents will be. Maybe you know them already from earlier games. If not, maybe you can watch them playing. Ask other people about their playing styles and weaknesses.
Summary: Eat well! Drink water (hydrate) before the match. Check your gear. Allot extra travel time to get to the match or tournament. Scout out your opponent.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The first property of logarithms, known as the "product rule," states that the logarithm of a multiplied product equals the sum of the logarithms of both factors. Written in equation form: logb(m * n) = logb(m) + logb(n) Also note that the following must be true: m > 0 n > 0 Use inverse operations to shift the parts of the equation around so that all logarithms are on one side of the equation while all other elements are on the opposite side. Example: log4(x + 6) = 2 - log4(x) log4(x + 6) + log4(x) = 2 - log4(x) + log4(x) log4(x + 6) + log4(x) = 2 If there are two logarithms added together in the equation, you can use the product rule to combine the two logarithms into one. Example: log4(x + 6) + log4(x) = 2 log4[(x + 6) * x] = 2 log4(x2 + 6x) = 2 Remember that a logarithm is just another way to write an exponential equation. Use the logarithm definition to rewrite the equation in its solvable form. Example: log4(x2 + 6x) = 2 Comparing this equation to the definition [y = logb (x)], you can conclude that: y = 2; b = 4; x = x2 + 6x Rewrite the equation so that: by = x 42 = x2 + 6x Now that the equation has become a standard exponential equation, use your knowledge of exponential equations to solve for x as you usually would. Example: 42 = x2 + 6x 4 * 4 = x2 + 6x 16 = x2 + 6x 16 - 16 = x2 + 6x - 16 0 = x2 + 6x - 16 0 = (x - 2) * (x + 8) x = 2; x = -8 At this point, you should have the solution for the equation. Write it down in the space provided for your answer. Example: x = 2 Note that you cannot have a negative solution for a logarithm, so you can discard x - 8 as a solution.
Summary: Know the product rule. Isolate the logarithm to one side of the equation. Apply the product rule. Rewrite the equation in exponential form. Solve for x. Write your answer.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Long exposure to blow dryer heat will damage hair. Reduce the blow drying time by absorbing some water with a soft towel. Pat gently until your hair stops dripping. Avoid rubbing with the towel, which can cause frizz and breakage. If your blow dryer comes with multiple nozzle attachments, compare the width of each one. If the nozzle is too wide (side to side), you may waste air flow directing it at short hair. However, the more narrow the nozzle opening is, the more likely it is to cause damage. Consider sticking to a wide nozzle if your hair is fragile or thin. Reduce the air flow setting to low or medium as well. If your hair is easily damaged, reduce the temperature setting on your blow dryer to medium or low, until the flow of air feels comfortable on the back of your hand. If your hair is strong, or short enough to dry in a few minutes, blow dry on high heat. See the guides below for specific styles.
Summary:
Pat out excess moisture. Adjust air flow with a narrow nozzle (optional). Select the right temperature.
