INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Even though your husband is having trouble with your relationship with your friends, don't let your relationship with them suffer. Refrain from talking too much about your husband and his jealousy of your friendship -- they will certainly be in contact with him in the future, and it could be uncomfortable for everyone. Just explain that you're trying to figure out a way for you to continue being a good friend and wife and that sometimes it's complicated. If your husband refuses to talk to you about his feelings, it might be time to suggest couples' counseling. Because it's a neutral environment with a trained mediator, he might be more inclined to let you know what he's feeling. Sometimes he might not know what he's feeling, and talking to a therapist can help. If your husband refuses to talk to a counselor or therapist with you, it might be a good idea to book an appointment yourself. You need help sorting through your feelings and trying to understand why your husband is acting as he does. Because it's partly tied to your friendships, this is not a time to talk these issues over with your friends -- you need someone outside the situation.

SUMMARY: Keep in touch with your friends. Talk to a therapist or counselor together if he won't communicate. Discuss your feelings with a therapist or counselor.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your station is dedicated to music, prepare music specials. If your station is about science, create some interesting programs related to science. Consider if you want the length of your programs to be 30 minutes or an hour. You could also plan to do a quick 10 minutes of talking every hour of a music show. Plan for a week of broadcasting and choose certain programs for individual days. Consistency is important for programs to develop a following. The key to planning programs is that each show is exciting in some way. When in doubt, throw on a catchy playlist. Before going live, you should ensure that everything is plugged in and properly connected together. Follow each cable in your system and double check each end to be sure everything is in the proper place. Do a quick test of your broadcast and check the levels on your audio mixer or computer. Power your transmitter on and tune to the radio frequency, you choose, that isn't occupied by another station. If you haven't found a station yet, go through the FM stations using a normal radio. Take note of the channels that don't have any broadcasting. Have a friend listen to the station in a separate room. You can't have the radio tuned to your broadcasting station in the room with you. When the microphones are turned on, it can create feedback that will be audible over the radio. When the microphone is turned off, you can listen to the radio in the same room. Build your station up to fit your own means, and eventually you can build it into a legitimate station. It is good to begin broadcasting with a Part 15 transmitter to learn all the mechanics of radio and audio. If you develop a fan base, you can contact local businesses for advertising slots. If you're a successful station, you can announce an advertisement opening on a popular time slot. The FCC rarely opens applications for licenses for low powered FM stations. If they do anytime soon, you can take the steps to become licensed and upgrade your transmitter to a more powerful device. Once you begin broadcasting your show, you can also stream your show in a podcast form or even as an internet radio show.

SUMMARY: Prepare a few programs. Plug everything in. Tune to the station. Begin broadcasting. Consider the future.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Corn is a tall plant, often growing to 5 to 10 feet (1.5 to 3.0m). The thin, wavy leaves sit opposite each other on the stem and they alternate sides by a quarter turn going up the plant. When the corn is about halfway to maturity, you'll see a dollop of silky, pale hair growing on top of each cob. You won't see the grain of the corn until you husk it. Rather, you'll just see long ears covered by green husks and topped with yellow silk. These plants reach about 2 feet (0.61m) at maturity, though they look like round, small bushes early in the growing process. Soybeans, cotton, and peanuts can appear similar from a distance. However, soybeans tend to be a deeper green; the undersides of the leaves are a silvery green. In late summer, you may see small white or purple flowers on the plants. Typically, these plants grow from May to October. These plants are left to mature in the field. The leaves will brown and fall off before the pods are ready to be harvested in October. This plant typically gets to be about 3 feet (0.91m) tall. It is a slender plant with thin, narrow leaves. At the top of the leaves, you'll see a spiked head, which is where the grain grows. Often, this plant is grown over the winter, starting in the fall and ending in mid-summer. However, you'll also see summer wheats that are planted in spring and harvested in the fall. The leaves of this plant are thinner than barley, which has a similar look. This plant starts out green and grows a white spiked head. However, it turns brown by the time it is harvested. Cotton grows in a similar way to soybeans. However, as it grows, it will start to produce flowers from the main stem. These flowers will produce the white round "bolls," which are harvested for the fiber. This plant starts out small and bushy with tri-point leaves. It's a lighter green than soybeans. When it is ready to be harvested, the plant will be completely brown and covered in the white bolls. It tends to get about 2 feet (0.61m) tall. This plant reaches a height of about 3 feet (0.91m). Through much of its growth, the field will be flooded to a depth of 3 to 5 inches (7.6 to 12.7cm), so it's easy to pick out. The leaves tend to be thicker than wheat, and it grows yellow flowers before producing long strands of rice grain at the top of the leaves. When it reaches maturity, the heads will turn brownish instead of green. The farmer will drain the field to harvest the grain.

SUMMARY: Watch for a thick central stem, tassels, and wavy leaves to identify corn. Pay attention to a low, deep green plant to identify soybeans. Notice a grassy plant to pick out wheat. Look for white, pink, and/or red flowers to identify cotton. Check for a flooded field and tall, grassy stalks to pick out rice.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: All international students are required to have health coverage. Your university will provide you will information about how to buy insurance through them. Costs vary, but coverage usually runs around $500 (CAD) annually. While many international students reside in university housing, there might not be available space or you might prefer to rent your own accommodations. Arranging housing beforehand is less stressful than rushing to find a place to rent after arriving in Canada. There are a variety of online search tools that you can use to find rentals near your university. Your university's department of residential life can also help you arrange housing. If you don't manage to arrange a rental or campus housing, your most affordable option is to stay at a student hostel until you find a permanent rental. Winters in Canada are no joke. At the very least, you'll need a heavy coat, hat, gloves, and scarf. Sweaters, long underwear, and other warm clothes will also come in handy. Winters in eastern Canada are particularly harsh. While western Canada's climate is milder, it still gets cold. Canada boasts a host of natural gems and world-class cities, such as Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. Take breaks from hitting the books to explore all that Canada has to offer. Arrange weekend trips with friends, take day trips by bus, and take advantage of any excursion opportunity that comes your way.

SUMMARY:
Purchase health insurance through your university. Arrange housing accommodations before you arrive. Pack plenty of warm clothes. Set aside time to tour Canada's cultural capitals and natural wonders.
