Article: List step by step exactly what you will do to test your hypothesis. This step is not only important for making sure you're correctly testing your hypothesis, but will also allow yourself and others to repeat your experiment. For example, you should list precisely how much soil you put in each pot, how much water you give each plant and how often, and how much sunlight each plant receives (measured in watts per square meter). Reproducibility is one of the key underpinnings of the scientific method, so it's important that you lay out exactly how your experiment is conducted to ensure that others can copy it and try to get the same results. Your experiment should test the effect of one thing (your independent variable) on another thing (your dependent variable). Identify what your independent and dependent variables and determine how you'll measure them in your experiment. For example, in the potted plant experiment, the independent variable would be the amount of sunlight each plant is exposed to. Your dependent variable would be the height of each plant. Your experiment needs to either confirm or fail to confirm your hypothesis, so it needs to be carried out in such a way that the cause of the phenomenon can be isolated and identified. In other words, it should be "controlled." For example, you can design an experiment in which you place 3 different potted plants (of the same species) in 3 different locations: 1 on the windowsill, 1 in the same room but in an area with less direct sunlight, and 1 in a darkened closet. You would then record how tall each plant grows at the end of each week for a 6-week period. Be sure you're only testing a single phenomenon at a time. All other variables should be constant across your samples. For example, all 3 of your plants should be in the same size pots with the same type and amount of soil. They should also get the same amount of water at the same time each day. For some complex questions, there may be hundreds or thousands of potential causes and it can be difficult or impossible to isolate them in any single experiment. Other people must be able to set up a test in the same way that you did and get the same result. Make sure you keep very thorough records that document the experiment, the procedure you follow, and the data you collect. It's very important that you make it possible for other scientists to precisely copy everything you did when they repeat your experiment. This allows them to rule out that your results came from any discrepancies or mistakes. Once you've designed your experiment, you'll need to carry it out. Make sure your results are gathered in quantified metrics that allow you to analyze them and allow others to try to repeat your experiment objectively. In the potted plant example, place each plant in the areas with differing amounts of sunlight that you selected. If the plants have already grown above the soil line, record their initial height. Water each plant with the exact same amount of water on a daily basis. At the end of each 7-day period, record each plant's height. You should run your experiment several times to make sure that your own results are consistent and to weed out any anomalies. There's no set number of times you need to repeat an experiment, but you should aim to repeat it at least twice.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?

Problem: Article: Load up a new playlist and listen to some music. Find a comfortable spot to sit and listen closely to the music. Focus on the lyrics and the musical strains. See if you can hear when different instruments are played. Listen to the music through headphones. Music with a faster tempo will require you to pay closer attention if you're trying to track the music, instruments and lyrics. Turning on the TV or watching a good movie can distract you from the task or thought at hand. Get absorbed in the storyline of a TV show or movie. Make sure to choose a movie or TV show that doesn't remind you of your problem. For example, if you're distracting yourself from the emotional pain of a breakup, don't watch a movie that focuses on a person who ends a relationship with someone. Video games offer compelling narratives that can suck you into their worlds. If you are playing a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game, you will interact with others online, which will take your attention away from your problem. Find a good, juicy story or revisit an old favorite novel. It helps if the book is a fairly easy read. If you have to process a lot of what you're reading or constantly look up vocabulary, then you might lose your momentum to get lost in the story. Dive into a project with multiple parts. This will engage your attention with various steps and instructions. A good project could be working on a model, painting a picture or building some shelves for your living room.
Summary: Listen to music. Watch TV or a movie. Play a video game. Read a book. Work on a big project.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Being hungry can depress your mood and make you more susceptible to panic attacks. Keep your blood sugar regulated by eating regularly and not letting yourself get too hungry. Have small snacks in between meals as well. Never skip meals. This causes a blood sugar crash and will depress your mood. Eat as many fresh foods as possible. There isn't much research confirming it, but healthy eating does have some links with less anxiety and stress. If you're often on the move, plan ahead and pack some snacks. A quick granola bar or bag of nuts can prevent a blood sugar crash. While many herbs and essential oils claim to reduce anxiety, only a few have been studied. Stick with treatments that doctors have evaluated and approved for anxiety-reduction. Always consult your doctor before taking herbal supplements to make sure they won't interact with any medications you're taking. Some herbs that may be effective are passionflower, chamomile, valerian root, and lavender. These ingredients come in supplements or teas that you can take daily. Always follow the dosing instructions on these products and don't take more than directed. Kava was once considered an effective anxiety treatment, but new studies show that it can cause liver damage. Avoid this treatment. These substances might make you feel better in the short-term, but they could increase your anxiety and risk of panic attacks. Avoid all illegal substances, and keep your drinking limited to 1-2 drinks per day. Since nicotine is a stimulant, avoid smoking as well. Some drugs, particularly hallucinogens, can trigger panic attacks. If you regularly cope with your anxiety by drinking or using drugs, you may develop an addiction. Speak with your doctor if you have trouble quitting.

SUMMARY: Eat at regular times to avoid a blood sugar drop. Try some calming herbal treatments. Avoid drugs, smoking, and excessive drinking.

Your marriage, whether you have a wedding or elope, is a moment you and your spouse will want to look back on. Ask a professional to document your vow ceremony or the ring exchange. If you really want to keep the wedding intimate, ask a friend or family member to take photos. You can wear the traditional wedding dress or tux, or you could wear something fun that expresses your personality (like a button-down with suspenders, a frilly knee-length dress, or an outfit with personal meaning). Eloping doesn't have to mean jeans and a t-shirt at the city clerk's office. If you've chosen to elope, you might not be up for the usual reception party. Instead, treat a few friends to a party after the ceremony. You can make a small registry, or you can ask guests to just bring themselves. Order a wedding cake, pop open a few bottles of champagne, and relax at your own mini-reception. Alternatively, go to dinner with your loved ones at a fancy restaurant after the ceremony. After the ceremony and after-party, go on a romantic getaway with your new husband or wife. Because elopement is so inexpensive, you can use some of the money you might have spent on a really nice honeymoon. If you're under time or cost restraints, spend a weekend in a nearby bed-and-breakfast or plan a staycation.
