INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A good art exhibition should be characterized by a prominent theme that ties the different pieces together and makes them feel like part of a larger whole. Think carefully about the message you want your exhibition to convey. It could be an image or phenomenon, a feeling or a certain visual technique. The more specific your theme, the better. For instance, "Black and White" is too general to make much of an impact, whereas "Isolation and Womanhood" explores a far more interesting pairing of ideas. Consider giving your exhibition a name. A catchy title like "Neon Daydreams" will help generate attention and point more clearly to the theme being presented. Pick out a few of your best or most recent pieces to put on display. If you're holding a solo exhibit meant to highlight your own work, you'll need to have anywhere from 10-30 individual pieces to show. The theme of the exhibition should be represented in each production. Spend the months leading up to the exhibition creating original pieces that you can unveil for the first time on opening night. Plan on exhibiting more pieces if the work you do tends to be on the small side. Do some research into other artists in your area and see whether they would be interested in taking part in your exhibition. Collaborative efforts can be a great opportunity for many different artists to showcase their art at the same event, resulting in a more diverse and well-rounded display. Narrow your focus to artists who have a similar style or tend to produce works related to the theme you're presenting. Holding an exhibition in conjunction with other artists will also allow you to split the cost of the venue, licensing expenses, framing and promotional materials. Be sure to give other artists proper credit for the works they've contributed. Your exhibition doesn't have to exclusively feature paintings or sketches. Feel free to solicit works from photographers, sculptors, and other types of visual artists. A wide-ranging selection of works will lend collaborations a dynamic atmosphere and give your patrons more to enjoy. In general, it's best to stick with art you can frame, hang and sell. However, you might also consider inviting poets or musicians to perform at the event, especially if their work complements the exhibition's theme.

SUMMARY: Choose a unifying theme. Select your most impressive work. Contact local artists for submissions. Work with different mediums.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Ask about how you can join a team through your school or a local club that's accepting new players. There are many sports and activities that small individuals, in particular, can excel at. Join a sport like wrestling, boxing, martial arts, dance, gymnastics, weightlifting, horse racing, and positions within other sports for which small size is an advantage or necessity. Smaller individuals typically do well in these activities due to a lower center of gravity and/or increased ability to move the body easily and quickly. Use your small size to comfortably fit into small areas, either for fun or out of necessity. Move through crowds more easily as a small individual, and others may also allow you to stand in front of them at concerts or other events where you might have difficulty seeing over taller people. Fit into more compact spaces and have more legroom on planes, in cars, or other forms of transportation that typically do not have much personal space. Play hide-and-seek or other games for which you may be able to conceal yourself better than other players. Embrace your size as something that sets you apart from others, which you will appreciate more and more as you get older or as you try to define yourself in a particular industry or group. Use your small size or height to set you apart in industries like acting, dancing, and other careers that may focus on appearance. You can stand out from others of average height pursuing the same thing, and even build a personal brand around your unique size. As you grow out of childhood, enjoy some of the advantages of continuing to appear young, which can get you child discounts and other perks. Shop in boys or girls sections of clothing stores, as both a way to find clothes that fit you better and save money on the cheaper garments. Ask about discounts for children or younger people at museums, movie theaters, and other event locations. Even if you do not fit the maximum age, you may be able to pass for younger to meet the discount requirements. Know that people of short stature are actually found in studies to also enjoy a number of other health benefits. Benefit from a reduced risk of cancer as a result of smaller size, which may be due simply to the fact that shorter individuals have fewer cells in their bodies, or have lower energy intake. Avoid complications of blood clotting, which is two and half times more likely to occur in taller and heavier people due to the distance that blood must travel in the body. Potentially live longer as a short person, as the hormone that controls height also governs aging.

SUMMARY: Join a sport like gymnastics or wrestling. Fit into small spaces. Stand out from the crowd. Save money on child's sizes and discounts. Enjoy correlated health benefits.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are roasting over 12 cup (120ml) pistachios, use the oven. Choosing the oven will allow you to bake a big batch of pistachios at once. Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven. Have two racks in the oven on top of each other if you are planning to make two pans of pistachios so there is enough room. It usually takes about 15-20 minutes for most ovens to preheat. Put them in an even layer on the baking sheet. Make sure none of the pistachios are covering each other, as this will ensure they roast properly. You can line the baking sheet with parchment paper to make it easier for you to lift the pistachios off the sheet when they are done roasting. You can use two baking sheets if needed, depending on how many pistachios you are roasting. Pop them in the preheated oven and watch them as they roast. Stir them with a spoon at the halfway mark so they roast evenly. They should take no longer than 8 minutes to roast fully. You will know they are done if they turn light brown and start to give off a nutty, fragrant smell. You can also check that they are roasted by cutting one or two pistachios in half. They should be an even pale brown color throughout. The roasted pistachios will take about 15-20 minutes to cool on the counter. Once they are no longer hot, store them in an airtight container. They should keep for 1 to 2 weeks.

SUMMARY:
Roast the pistachios in the oven to save time. Preheat the oven to 350F (177C). Spread the pistachios on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast them for 6 to 8 minutes or until they become fragrant. Let them cool.
