Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Perform 75 perfusion procedures during clinical training. Pass the written Perfusion Basic Science Exam. Pass the hands-on Clinical Applications in Perfusion Exam.

Answer: As a part of your degree and/or certificate program, you will perform hands-on perfusion procedures. First, you will shadow a working perfusionist, then you will perform procedures under supervision. Clinical training is a required part of the degree/certificate process. The completion of at least 75 procedures is required by the American Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion (ABCP) in order to become certified. To become a Certified Clinical Perfusionist (CCP), you must pass a two-part exam administered by the ABCP. The Perfusion Basic Science Exam is the first part. This written test includes math and science-based questions. To qualify for this exam, you must have graduated from (or be enrolled in) a perfusion education program, and must have completed the 75 clinical perfusion procedures. The Clinical Applications in Perfusion Exam is the second part of the ABCP exam. To qualify for this exam, you will need to complete 50 additional perfusion procedures after graduating from school. This exam will include a mix of written exam questions and hands-on procedures to demonstrate your competence. Hospitals will often employ perfusionists who have only completed the first part of the exam on a provisional basis. You may be able to take the second part of the exam after you gain employment.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide on your ideal penpal. Connect with others who share your hobby. Look for ways to learn more about a country and improve your language skills. Consider using penpals as a form of community service. Refine your search. Check the website guidelines to find out how to make contact. Make your initial contact short, light, and friendly.

Answer: Consider where you want your penpal to be from, how old you want them to be, and whether you want a male or female penpal. It's best to be flexible in terms of locations and stick to someone only two years older or younger than you if you are a kid, maybe even a difference of five or so if you are an adult. Having a penpal can be a wonderful educational experience, so put some thought into what you want to learn. When looking through profiles pay attention to what the users enjoy doing so you can find someone who shares your particular interest. Or choose someone with a completely different set of hobbies so the both of you can teach each other something new. Think about a part of the world you've always been curious about but never had a chance to visit. A penpal can give you a personal look into a country that you wouldn't be able to get through any other means. Many people pick penpals in faraway countries with varying host languages, which is a crucial aspect to consider when choosing a communicant. Make sure that you and your penpal will be able to understand each other using some common language. Penpals are fantastic ways to learn and practice new languages, so consider looking for one who speaks a language you're interested in learning or understanding better. There are often elderly users who are interested in developing friendships in their old age. Communicating with these penpals can not only allow you to make a friend across generations, but help somebody who needs a friend. Most penpal sites have many search options that allow you to sift through multiple possibilities for new pen pals. For example, Global Pen Friends has a robust search engine that lets you tweak various search parameters. In its basic search, Global Pen Friends lets you choose gender, age, country, state/province, city/town, and whether you only want to search for profiles with photos and registered postal addresses. There are even more options available on its advanced search where you can choose the preferred race, religion, hobbies, language, and whether you want to communicate via snail mail or electronically. It's important to be flexible with your search as it may be difficult to find your ideal penpal. Try searching for penpals with different interests and experiences as you often learn much more from these correspondences. When you find a penpal you're interested in, websites will allow you to add them as friends or send them a message. Don't get attached to them before they write back to avoid letdowns. Paid websites will typically only let you send one initial message or a smiley, so make sure you have a premium membership if you're trying to maintain contact. Write a bit about yourself and why you are writing. For example, you could say "I am a high school student in Allentown, Pennsylvania looking to find friends abroad who are interested in botany." Don't give too much information upfront so you can decide if this is the right penpal for you before disclosing a physical address.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Assess what information you are given. Set up the formula for average speed given two speeds used for the same amount of time. Plug the speeds into the formula. Add the two speeds together.

Answer: Use this method if you know: two or more different speeds; and that those speeds were traveled for the same amount of time. For example, if Ben drives 40 mph for 2 hours, and 60 mph for another 2 hours, what is his average speed for the entire trip? The formula is s=a+b2{\displaystyle s={
rac {a+b}{2}}}, where s{\displaystyle s} equals the average speed, a{\displaystyle a} equals the speed for the first half of the time, and b{\displaystyle b} equals the speed for the second half of the time. In these types of problems, It doesn't matter for how long each speed is driven, as long as each speed is used for half the total duration of time. You can modify the formula if you are given three or more speeds for the same amount of time. For example, s=a+b+c3{\displaystyle s={
rac {a+b+c}{3}}} or s=a+b+c+d4{\displaystyle s={
rac {a+b+c+d}{4}}}. As long as the speeds were used for the same amount of time, your formula can follow this pattern. It doesn't matter which speed you substitute for a{\displaystyle a} and which you substitute for b{\displaystyle b}. For example, if the first speed is 40 mph, and the second speed is 60 mph, your formula will look like this: s=40+602{\displaystyle s={
rac {40+60}{2}}}. Then, divide the sum by two. This will give you the average speed for the entire trip. For example:s=40+602{\displaystyle s={
rac {40+60}{2}}}s=1002{\displaystyle s={
rac {100}{2}}}s=50{\displaystyle s=50}So, if Ben traveled 40 mph for 2 hours, then 60 mph for another 2 hours, his average speed is 50 mph.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Sterilize the jars. Pack in the cinnamon sticks. Add in the oil. Prepare the ground cinnamon. Steep the oil. Strain the oil.

Answer:
Before you make your oil, sterilize the jars so that you don't get any unwanted bacteria in your oil. Do this by using warm water and dish soap, followed by a bath in boiling water. Start by removing the lids from your jars and washing the inside and outside of each jar and its lid in warm water. Use dish soap and rinse thoroughly. Once the jars and lids have been rinsed in warm water, transfer immediately to a boiling pot of water. Keep the lids off the jars. Make sure there is enough water to entirely submerge the open jars. Remove the jars and put them face-up on a clean baking sheet. Dip the tips of metal tongs into the boiling water for two to three minutes, then use the sterilized tongs to remove the jars. Allow the jars to cool before handling. If you are using cinnamon sticks, fit them vertically into the jar. Pack as many in as possible. For a quart-sized jar, you may want upward of a dozen cinnamon sticks. If a stick is too long to fit in the jar, use a kitchen knife to gently saw the stick in half and pack both halves into the jar. You may want to use new rubber or nitrile gloves while packing the jar in order to avoid transferring over any bacteria from your hands. Pour your carrier oil into the jar until all of the cinnamon sticks are completely immersed. If the jar allows, try to have at least half an inch of oil above the tops of the cinnamon sticks. Use a clean butter knife or chopstick to maneuver the cinnamon sticks if the oil is not flowing down to the bottom of the jar. If you are using ground cinnamon, you will cook it into the oil before placing it in the jar. Use about a quarter of a cup of ground cinnamon for every cup of your carrier oil. Mix the two together in a sauce pan over a low-to-medium heat. Stir the oil and cinnamon until combined, then let simmer for three to five minutes before removing. Let cool for up to 10 minutes. Once the oil is cooked and cooled, place in sterilized glass jar and allow to steep. Tightly seal up the jars and place them in a warm, dry area such as on a windowsill. Leave the jars in place for up to three weeks. This allows the cinnamon to release its flavors and certain nutrients into the oil. The longer you leave the jars, the stronger the oil will taste. Taste test the oil once every week or so, and allow to steep until it reaches the strength you want. Oil made with ground cinnamon can be used immediately, or may be left to steep for a stronger flavor. Try tasting the oil after a week, as ground cinnamon tends to need less time to steep. Shake the jar daily. This will help infuse the base oil with the cinnamon, and discourage any molding along the surface of the oil. Use a piece of cheesecloth to strain the cinnamon oil into another sterilized glass jar after it finishes steeping. Place the cheesecloth over the mouth of the new jar and secure it with your hand or a rubber band as you pour the oil in. To get extra oil out, allow the cinnamon to fall into the cheesecloth. Then, twist the cloth tightly around the cinnamon to force out more oil. This may get messy, so it is best done over a large bowl or in the sink.
