Problem: Article: Fill the stockpot with 2 inches (5 cm) or so of water and bring it to a boil on your stove top over high heat. The stockpot you use should be large enough to fit a steamer basket. As you fill your stockpot with water, keep in mind the water level should fall just below the bottom of your steamer basket once the basket is placed inside the stockpot. Squeeze both halves of the lemon into the boiling water and sprinkle the salt into the water, as well. Let boil for a couple of minutes. After adding your lemon juice and salt, rest the steamer basket inside the stockpot. If necessary, add more water to bring the water level to a point just below the steamer basket. The lemon juice and salt will both add flavor to the artichokes. Moreover, the additional lemon juice in the water will further help prevent oxidation. Situate the artichokes in the steamer basket stem-side-down and keep them in a single layer. The artichokes must be in a single layer to cook evenly. Cover the stockpot after placing the artichokes inside and reduce the heat to medium-high or medium. The water should still be boiling, but it should not boil violently or splash up through the bottom of the steamer basket. Steam the artichokes until you can pierce the artichoke hearts with the tip of a paring knife and easily pull the inner leaves out with your fingers or a pair of tongs. If the water level drops significantly during the cooking process, you might want to consider adding more water to the pot as it boils. Do not remove the lid too often, however, since doing so will release the steam and increase the overall cooking time.
Summary: Boil water in a deep stockpot. Add lemon juice and salt to the water. Place the artichokes inside the steamer basket. Cook 25 to 35 minutes.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In order to be able to measure the circumference of your leg, you need a measuring tape that it not stiff. The easiest tapes to use are those made for measuring for sewing, as they are made to measure parts of the body. Flexible measuring tapes are available at most craft, sewing, and big box stores. In order to get a perfect measurement, it's important to have another person to help you. If you have one, your physiotherapist is an ideal person to help. This will allow you to position your leg correctly while they do the actual measuring. This process can be done on your own if absolutely necessary. However, it is much easier to have an assistant. To measure correctly for a knee brace, you should be in your normal standing position. This allows the knee and leg to be easily measured and it gives an accurate reading. When standing, your leg is not normally totally straight. Your knee should have a small bend that is about 30 degrees. If you have an injury that doesn't allow you to put pressure on your leg, simply extend it as much as you can. Then take your measurements without the foot touching the ground. Sitting can also be an option if you can't find someone to assist you. Stretch your legs out straight in front of you as best as you can.

SUMMARY: Get a soft, flexible measuring tape. Find someone to help you. Stand up. Sit to take measurements if standing is too painful.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A factor will be any number that evenly divides into the numerator. If you need help finding all of the factors, you can make a factor tree. For example, the factors of 94 are 1, 2, 47, and 94. Follow the same process you used to find the numerator's factors. For example, the factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. This is the largest factor that the numerator and denominator share. You know you can simplify if the numerator and denominator share any factors other than 1. If the numerator and denominator do not share any other factors, the fraction is already simplified. For example, the largest factor 94 and 16 share is 2. So, the fraction can be simplified. This will give you the new numerator and denominator of your simplified fraction. For example, 942=47{\displaystyle 94\div 2=47}, so the simplified numerator is 47. To find the denominator, calculate 162=8{\displaystyle 16\div 2=8}. So, the simplified fraction is 478{\displaystyle {
rac {47}{8}}}. Thus you can rename the mixed number 51416{\displaystyle 5{
rac {14}{16}}} as the improper fraction 478{\displaystyle {
rac {47}{8}}}.
Summary: List the factors of the numerator. List the factors of the denominator. Identify the greatest common factor (GCF). Divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you're trying to get things done fast, it might be tempting to multitask. However, doing multiple things at once will only slow you down. Pick one task and work on only that task until you've run out of time or finished it. Then, you can move on to the next thing that you need to do. Even if you have multiple similar tasks to do, only do one thing at a time and don't jump back and forth between them. For example, work on only sending emails or finishing a report. Don't finish a page of the report and then send a few emails before working on the report again. Try to accomplish multiple tasks in a row in the same spot, like by your computer or on your phone. Then, you can get all of the things done that you need to do in one place without wasting time by starting and stopping tasks to move from place to place. For instance, if you have to look up the phone number for a few local businesses and buy something online, you can use your phone to look up the contact information, and then place the order through an app. Then, you can put your phone away and focus on completing other tasks. If you have a few phone calls to make, make them consecutively, and then take a break from using your phone while you finish other tasks. Try to get your most difficult tasks out of the way in the morning when you have the most energy and motivation, which will help you work through them quickly. Aim to finish all of your difficult tasks before noon, leaving the second half of the day for less important tasks and planning for the next day. For instance, if you have a term paper to finish and a few calls to make, you should plan to finish the paper in the morning, and make the phone calls in the afternoon. That way, the paper will be completed and you can knock out the smaller tasks quickly. When you're trying to work quickly, distractions can throw off your schedule. Wear a pair of headphones and listen to music, an audiobook, a newscast, or a podcast to block out distracting noise. This is especially helpful if you're working around other people who are talking or generally being loud. Avoid burnout by giving your mind and body time to rest throughout the day. Some experts recommend 10 minutes of rest for every 50 minutes of work, but you can adjust this as needed. On your break, check your text messages, grab a cup of coffee, go for a walk, or have a snack. Even if you don't feel like you need a break, take a short one anyway. Stand up and stretch, or take some time to drink some water. Your body will thank you!
Summary:
Focus on doing only one task at a time. Group tasks based on where or how you do them. Do your most challenging tasks in the morning. Put on a pair of headphones to block out distracting noise. Reward yourself with frequent, short breaks to refresh your energy.
