In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Collect 4 tsp (20 ml) of canning juice from a can of shucked oysters. Pour this liquid into a small bowl. You will not need to use the oysters for this recipe. You can discard them or use them for another recipe. Transfer the oysters to a plastic or glass container with an airtight lid and refrigerate for up to one or two weeks. Pour 8 tsp (40 ml) of soy sauce into the bowl of oyster juices. Use a whisk to thoroughly mix the liquids together. You could use light or dark soy sauce, or a combination of the two. Alternatively, if you do not have any soy sauce, you could use teriyaki. Sprinkle 1 tsp (5 ml) of sugar into the liquid and whisk rapidly until the sugar is fully dissolved. Taste the oyster sauce. If necessary, add another 1 tsp (5 ml) of oyster juice and/or another 1 tsp (5 ml) of sugar. Mix well. You can add more soy sauce, as well, but do so carefully to avoid making the mixture too salty. Neither the saltiness of the soy sauce nor the sweetness of the sugar should be too overpowering. The oyster sauce can be used immediately, but if you want to save it for another time, pour it into an airtight plastic or glass container and refrigerate for up to one week.
Summary: Reserve the liquid from a can of oysters. Combine the canning liquid with soy sauce. Dissolve the sugar. Adjust the seasonings as needed. Use now or store for later.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Even if you're not trying yourself to a genre in the long run, it is probable that your song demos will adhere to a given style. Due to the fact that this is what people will initially judge you by, it's important to consider what people will actually be looking out for that kind of music. recording a single demo isn't enough. Although people may only skim the first 30 seconds of one of your songs before moving onwards, if someone hears a song and likes it, he'll want to know that it's not just a fluke. Compile a demo collection of a few of your best songs. If you're wanting to make an impression as a versatile songwriter, you might try writing tunes in different sounds. You can hire musicians or enlist friends to play your songs for you. The performance on a demo can make a major difference. Friends are a great place to start with if you have songs to show. Because friends will usually have a genuine interest in seeing you succeed, they'll be able to give you tight constructive criticism about your work. When your work is sharpened up, they can help you spread the word of your music to other people they may know. If you have a friend who is already associated with professionals in the music industry, you should make an extra effort to show that person your music. Even if he's not directly associated with a label or publishing house, he may know people that could be interested in the music you're producing. In an age of social media and easy networking, you can make a big name for yourself simply through word of mouth and link sharing. Provided your material is strong enough, you can post your demos on websites like Soundcloud, Bandcamp and Youtube. From there, people who come across it may be inclined to share it if they enjoy it enough. Professional songwriters may find it useful to live in one of the central hubs for the music industry, including Los Angeles, New York and London. Although these days you can actually make a start in music without ever dealing with the "industry", it's nonetheless a vital place to look to if you want to write songs professionally. Mail off your demos and cover letter to a variety of musical publishing houses and record labels. Try to get in contact with people who are already in the industry and tell them what you want to do. The people in the music industry are quickly desensitized to the number of people who are pursuing their dreams. Don't take it personally if you get the cold shoulder treatment from these people. It's all part of the process. There are agencies that base their business around helping prospective writers find work Outlets such as Taxi may be of use to you if you're having difficulty linking up with the right publishers. Certain genres favour certain regions. Nashville, for example, is largely enough for its bustling country music scene. Persistence is the key. This is especially true once your music is done and it's time to show it to other people. Because there is so much music coming out these days, it may take years to properly get your foot in the door. The only thing that can defeat you is if you give up entirely. Develop a thick skin for criticism, and don't lose a passion for the songs you produce, even if you can't find a market for it yet.
Summary: Acknowledge the expectations of your genre. Develop a portfolio of demos. Share your work with friends. Post your songs online. Connect with the music industry. Stay focused and persistent.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The best way to lose weight quickly is a calorie controlled diet and exercise. You will need to participate in a fairly intense exercise regimen to burn a significant amount of calories to help you lose 20 pounds quickly. Vigorous exercise is any activity that significantly raises your heart rate and breathing pace. You shouldn't be able to say more than one or two words at a time without taking a breath. On the perceived exertion scale you should be around a seven or eight out of ten. Level one is sitting and ten is the most intense exercise you could perform. Set aside about an hour every day. Plan to be active for an hour most days, even if some activities are less strenuous than others. Moderate intensity activity will also burn calories and support weight loss. However, vigorous intensity activity burns more calories and may help you reach your weight loss goal quicker. Prior to starting any exercise routine, it's important to meet with your doctor to make sure exercise is safe and appropriate for you. You should aim for a minimum of 150 minutes of cardio weekly. However, it's recommended to get up to 300 minutes or five hours weekly for increased weight loss. Common cardiovascular exercises include running or jogging, swimming laps, dancing, cycling, and certain martial arts. These activities burn differing numbers of calories per hour, but all of them are effective. Strength training is a healthy and highly effective type of exercise for weight loss. It will help increase lean muscle mass, which over time, can increase your body's natural ability to burn calories. Weight training is invaluable for any weight loss program, because stronger muscles require more energy to operate, which means that they burn more calories. Include about two days of strength training for at least 20 minutes a session. Exercises include: weight lifting, weight lifting classes, body weight exercises and pilates. Taking a break from exercising is a crucial part of a workout schedule. Continually working out, especially at vigorous intensities, is a lot of work and stress on your joints, muscles and body. Rest days help your body recover and can help prevent injury. Stick to rest days just as religiously as you stick to your workouts. Rest days should still be active. That means staying off the couch and participating in light, low-impact, low-intensity activities. These can include: restorative yoga, light walking, or a leisurely bike ride.
Summary:
Exercise vigorously. Include regular aerobic activity. Include weight training. Plan one to two rest days.
