INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Arrange the empty dishes around the table, taking care not to encroach on any one guest's personal space. Pair each dish with its serving utensil at this point, too. If any guests are bringing food, transfer it to a dish that you already own and account for it in the table setup. Leave nothing to chance. Each guest should have easy access to salt, pepper, butter, gravy, cranberries, and other condiments. The rule of thumb is to provide one condiment for every six people. Also include a pitcher or two of water if you have room. You shouldn't incorporate any plates or silverware for dessert, nor cups for coffee or tea. Instead, keep that collection of things separate but within easy access for a post-dinner pick-me-up. Now that you aren't running around the table as much, set up the chairs. If your chairs don't match, arrange them in a way that balances out the eye when you're looking at it from afar. Place chairs that don't fit in among the everyday chairs.

SUMMARY: Determine which dishes will fit which food items. Disperse condiments evenly. Set up a dessert station away from the dinner table. Add the chairs around the table.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: PMS can come with the discomfort and pain of such things as headache, backaches, and cramping. Taking an over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever may keep these symptoms at bay. Take pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen sodium (Aleve). You can also try acetaminophen (Tylenol) or aspirin. Do not take aspirin if you are under 20 years old as it may lead to a severe condition called Reye's syndrome. Talk to your doctor if OTC medications do not work. Hormones control your menstrual cycle. Trying a hormonal birth control (available as pills, a patch, a ring, an implant, and the Depo-Provera shot) with specific hormones may reduce your symptoms of PMS including pain or other discomfort. Talk to your medical practitioner about taking hormonal birth control to avoid the physical and psychological symptoms of PMS. Let your doctor know why you want to try birth control. Discuss your various options and ask any questions you may have. Warmth or heat can relax ease physical discomfort and help you relax. Use a heating pad or hot water bottle or take a warm bath to ease the symptoms of PMS. Put a hot water bottle or heating pad on spots that are uncomfortable. This could be your back, abdomen, head or shoulders. You can make your own heating pad by putting beans or lentils in an empty sock or pillowcase. Heat it in the microwave for about three minutes before applying to your skin. The Food and Drug Administration suggests a maximum of 20 minutes per application of any heating device. Massage OTC heat rubs into your skin or apply heat patches to any area causing you discomfort. Take a warm bath when you have pain or discomfort or are feeling stressed, tense or unhappy. Fill your bath with water between 36 and 40C (96.8 to 104F) so that you don't burn yourself. Check the water with thermometer or feel the water carefully with your hand to make sure it is not too hot. If you have one, a whirlpool can also help relieve the symptoms of PMS. Acupuncture or acupressure can increase blood flow and balance out your hormones, which can relieve PMS. Schedule an appointment with a certified practitioner to avoid the physical or psychological symptoms you may have. If you can't avoid or relieve your PMS, schedule an appointment with your doctor. They can rule out underlying conditions that may be making your PMS worse or suggest other therapies that may work. Keep a diary for a few months to detect patterns in your PMS as well as what does and doesn't prevent symptoms. Give this information to your doctor so that they can figure out different treatments for your PMS. For example, if you have severe mood swings, anxiety, or depression related to your menstrual cycle they may suggest you take an antidepressant the two weeks before your period begins.
Summary: Take an over-the-counter pain medication. Consider hormonal birth control. Apply heat for relaxation. Think about alternative therapies. Seek medical attention.

Fill your home with indoor plants to purify the air and increase oxygen in your space. If you have limited room, put plants in the rooms you use the most, like your bedroom and kitchen. If you have pets, research online before purchasing plants to make sure they're non-toxic. All plants are good at boosting the oxygen in your home, but the following are very efficient: Aloe English ivy Rubber tree Peace lily Philodendron Snake plant Spider plant Red-edged dracaena Golden pothos Though not scientifically proven, some believe that lamps made from pink Himalayan salt may help to purify the air. They emit a nice pink glow as well. This may not generate enough negative ions to change your environment, but it might help remove some of the toxins in the air around you. Candles made of beeswax don't smoke when they're lit, and they don't release chemicals as they burn. Similar to salt lamps, these candles don't release enough ions to purify the air completely. However, beeswax candles may be a healthier substitute for more common candles made of paraffin, which usually emit pollutants. You can purchase beeswax candles at your local health food store or online. Never let candles burn unattended.

One-sentence summary -- Put plants in your home. Get a salt lamp. Burn beeswax candles.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you decompose a number into its various addends, you are breaking that number apart into different sets of other numbers (addends) that can be added together to get the original value. When one addend is subtracted from the original number, the second addend should be the answer you get. When both addends are added together, the original number should be the sum you calculate. This practice is easiest to do when you have a single digit number (a number that only has a "ones" place). You can combine the principles learned here with those learned in the "Decomposing into Hundreds, Tens, and Ones" section when you need to decompose larger numbers, but since there are so many possible addend combinations for larger numbers as a whole, this method would be impractical to use alone when working with large numbers. To decompose a number into its addends, all you need to do is write down all of the different possible ways of creating the original problem number using smaller numbers and addition. Example: Decompose the number 7 into its different addends. 7 = 0 + 7 7 = 1 + 6 7 = 2 + 5 7 = 3 + 4 7 = 4 + 3 7 = 5 + 2 7 = 6 + 1 7 = 7 + 0 For someone trying to learn this concept for the first time, it might be helpful to use visuals that demonstrate the process in practical, hands-on terms. Start with the original number of something. For instance, if the number is seven, you could start with seven jellybeans. Separate the pile into two different piles by pulling one jellybean to the side. Count the remaining jellybeans in the second pile and explain that the original seven have been decomposed into "one" and "six." Continue separating jellybeans into two different piles by gradually taking away from the original pile and adding to the second pile. Count the number of jellybeans in both piles with each move. This can be done with a number of different materials, including small candies, paper squares, colored clothespins, blocks, or buttons.

SUMMARY:
Understand the concept. Practice with a small number. Work through all the different addend combinations. Use visuals, if necessary.
