In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once you've defined n{\displaystyle n} as the largest integer you're adding, plug the number into the formula to sum consecutive integers: sum = n{\displaystyle n}(n{\displaystyle n}+1)/2. For example, if you're summing the first 100 integers, plug 100 into n{\displaystyle n} to get 100(100+1)/2. If you're finding the first 20 integers, use 20 for n{\displaystyle n}. Work 20(20+1)/2 to get 420/2. Your answer will be 210. If the problems asks you to find the sum of only the even integers in a sequence starting with 1, you'll need to use a different formula. Plug your highest integer into n{\displaystyle n} so: sum = n{\displaystyle n}(n{\displaystyle n}+2)/4. For example, if the problem asks you to find the sum of even integers from 1 to 20, use 20 as n{\displaystyle n}. Your formula will be 2022/4. If the problems asks you to find the sum of only the odd integers, you'll need to find n{\displaystyle n} first. To find n{\displaystyle n}, add 1 to the highest number of the sequence. Then use it in this formula: sum = (n{\displaystyle n}+1)(n{\displaystyle n}+1)/4. For example, to add the odd integers from 1 to 9, add 1 to 9. The equation will now look like 10(10)/4. Once you've worked the equation, you'll get 10(10)/4 to equal 25. Once you've plugged in the integer, multiply the integer by itself plus 1, 2 , or 4 depending on your formula. Then divide your result by 2 or 4 to get the answer. For the example of consecutive formula 100101/2, multiply 100 by 101 to get 10100. Divide this by 2 to get an answer of 5050. For the example of even integers 2022/4, multiply 20 by 22 to get 440. Divide this by 4 to get a result of 110.
Summary: Define your formula for consecutive integers. Set up a formula to calculate only even integers. Define a formula to find the sum of odd integers. Work any of your defined formulas to find the sum.

It may be just 5-10 minutes that you have to spare, but crack a book open at least once a day. Try to anchor your reading habit to something else you do every day. For instance, read while you eat or have a cup of tea. Reading before bed is also a great way to develop your reading habit. If you can, read at the same time every day so your brain starts to associate that time as "reading time". If you sit down for just 10 minutes 4 times a day, that's 40 minutes of reading every day! If you travel a lot, read on the plane, bus, or train instead of watching a movie or scrolling through social media. If you're not engaged by the book that you're reading, it can make reading feel like a chore. But, if you're really into what you're reading, you won't be able to put the book down and reading will be fun. Choose books that seem interesting to you. Ask your friends, family, or librarian for recommendations on books in a genre you like or about a subject that you enjoy. If the book really doesn't grab your attention, it's okay to walk away from it. Read the first chapter or so and if you're not interested, move on! This is an easy task in today's world when you can carry a book on your phone or on a small e-reader. The size and weight of books are no longer a hindrance to reading on the go. Keep a book with you at all times so you can read during any free time you have throughout the day. If the bus is running late or if you're standing in line or waiting to meet up with a friend, open your book and read. Being part of a reading group gives you some accountability for your reading. Joining a book club could be just the thing to spark your reading habit. You could also start a club of your own with your friends. Make sure the club is committed to finishing and discussing the books each month. Join a group that reads books that you know will be interesting. If you really like fantasy books, join a fantasy book group. If you can't or don't want to meet in person, you could join an online book forum or social media group that focuses on reading, instead. Setting the scene for reading will make it even more fun for you. Make a space that you will love lounging in while you're reading. It could be a comfy chair or a bunch of pillows on the floor; just make sure it is comfortable and inviting. It is also essential that the space has good lighting so you don't strain your eyes. Curling up with a soft blanket and squashy pillow can make reading a delightful way to rest and recharge. Have a plate of snacks and tea or coffee nearby to enjoy while you read.

One-sentence summary -- Set aside time to read every day. Read interesting books. Carry a book with you everywhere. Join a book club. Make a cozy reading space.

Problem: Article: Bernie Sanders, Fran Drescher, and Jerry Seinfeld have all made this accent pretty recognizable, even if it is considered a bit over the top for every day speech. But if you're on stage, on screen, or just hamming it up, focus on breathing through your nose. Huge "Yuuuuge." Speaking like a New Yorker is less about what you say, and more about how you say it. New Yorkers are known for being direct, opinionated and confident. They are also known for talking a lot, and talking loudly. Speak quickly and succinctly. Use loud, expressive tones when speaking. Really draw out those vowels for emphasis. Throw an extra "r" at the end of words that end in vowels, like "that's a good idear." The best way to practice is the word Long Island itself, pronounced by residents as "Lawn-Guyland") Really take your time with the vowels, stretching them out for a nice long time. The "g" at the end of "-ing" isn't pronounced either. So "going" is pronounced "goin'" and "here" sounds like "hea". The following expressions aren't really used so much anymore, but they're still stereotypes. They will instantly place your listener into the NYC mindset, even if that mindset is about 15 years old by now. Typical expressions Noo Yawkez use include "Get outta hea", "Fawget aboutit" & "Ahrite ahready" Say "hey", instead of "hi" or "hello" and say it quickly. Make the classic "you guys" into the NYC plural "yous guys." It is often a deep sounding voice, and words are spoken kind of in a relaxed way. Since New York was at one point very Italian, Staten Island and Brooklyn in particular (Staten Island is still 44% Italian, the highest percentage of any county in the country), people of Italian descent that live in the areas tend to have a little bit of Italian accent mixed in. So if you've ever heard, have or done an Italian accent, it may be a little bit easier to do a NY accent. Think of Sylvester Stallone. Now think of Danny DeVito. Both have similar accents, but also plenty of uniqueness. Your own accent can be similarly unique, as long as you follow the basic rules above. Check out this list of free files containing examples of different NYC accents to help practice.
Summary:
Speak nasally, with your throat feeling almost constricted, to really take your accent over the top. Pick up the "attitude" in your speech rhythms. Mash your words together and spread your vowels out for the Long Island classic accent. Use some local, if cliched, colloquialisms. Listen to native New Yorkers, online or in person, to get the subtle range of different accents.
