Article: Hold the film or suppository near the entrance or your vagina. Using a clean finger, push the product up into the vagina. Insert it as far as it will go so that it is positioned near your cervix. Note that the film will melt into a spermicidal gel, while the suppository will melt into a spermicidal cream. If you are inserting a film spermicide, place your finger near the middle of the film before insertion to position it evenly. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after inserting the film or suppository. Do not try to place the film on top of the penis. It won't have enough time to dissolve and may not properly meet the cervix. Once the suppository or film is inserted, it will need time to melt completely. Wait at least 10 minutes before engaging in sexual activity to ensure that the product is thoroughly dissolved. Doing so before may render the spermicide ineffective at preventing pregnancy. Note that inserting film or suppository spermicide more than 60 minutes before having sex will kill its effectiveness. Insert the spermicide up to one hour prior to sex. Like foam, cream, or jelly spermicide, film and suppository spermicides wear off after an hour. They are also rendered ineffective after each time you have sex. Keep extra products on hand to replace the spermicide when necessary.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Insert the film or suppository with your finger. Wait at least 15 minutes before having sex. Insert a new dose after an hour, or every time you have sex.
Article: This could be obviously dictated by other commitments, but you should first of all get to know how your body works. Once again, this is subjective. Whether you're a morning person or a night owl, pick the time of the day when your energy is at its highest. If you need to maximize time to finish a large amount of work, leave the easier tasks to the part of the day when your level of attention is lower. For example, if you're writing an essay, do the thinking and background reading when you're more focused and format it or proofread it when you're less concentrated. Having a fixed schedule is like finding the right space: training your body to associate a specific time with a task will make it easier for you to transition from leisure to work when focus-time has come. Multitasking is usually the privilege of those who have little trouble finding concentration in any situation. If you struggle with staying focused, however, limiting yourself to one activity is the best way to avoid getting carried away by other tasks. Choosing the right environment and time plays a large role: this is why it is best to avoid places where you usually perform other activities, like bedrooms, kitchens or lounges. Because they are designed to exclude any interference, libraries and study rooms work for most people as the best place to concentrate. Your mobile and laptop could be a great source of distraction. If you're reading on it and find yourself checking your e-mail too often, download the documents you're working on (if they're online) and turn off the internet connection, silence your mobile and keep it in your bag or pocket. Sometimes distraction can come from the assignment itself: if you feel overwhelmed by its size, make a clear plan of smaller steps you can take toward completing it. It will be easy to get down to work once this is broken into more manageable bits. For example, having fifteen books to read in less than a week can be a little mind-boggling: make a list of which are more important and should be read more carefully; divide them into categories; make a schedule of which you should read on each day; devote some time to reading other sources where the main points of each book are summed up, so you know what to expect once you approach them. It is unnatural for anyone to stay focused for a whole day. Not allowing yourself some time off can actually decrease your concentration and tire you out. Make sure your daily schedule includes several interruptions of different lengths where you can reboot your energies. You can take more breaks as you start building up your concentration skills and decrease their number if you feel your attention span is getting longer. For your breaks, choose activities that clear your mind, like exercise, or focus on something other than work, like cooking or chatting with friends. If you're break is meant to last 10 minutes, enjoy them to the fullest but, once they're over, go straight back to work without hesitating. Giving yourself a little prize to look forward to for each period you've stayed focus is a good way to work faster and more efficiently. It also gives your mind more incentives to develop long-term concentration skills. This can be anything you enjoy doing. The size of the reward should be commensurate to the task performed. After a two-hour study session, you can reward yourself by having a snack, while after a full day of work a good meal is more appropriate; a full week of essay-writing might call for a night out with friends.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Find the schedule that suits you best. Focus on one thing at a time. Subdivide larger tasks into smaller ones. Take breaks. Be strict with yourself when you follow your time schedule. Reward yourself.
Article: A set of good mallets will help you bring out the best sounds from the instrument. Mallets can be found packaged with the instrument or at music stores. Many mallet heads are made of plastic, while others are made of nylon, rubber, or metal. Plastic mallets are the perfect choice for beginning players. Plastic and nylon mallets are a useful tool for all players. Metal mallets produce a better quality sound but require more of a deft touch. Many kids play a glockenspiel while sitting. As you advance, the standard is to play the glockenspiel standing. The keys are set in a frame which makes the instrument ideal for the ground or another flat surface. Glockenspiels may also be placed on larger stands so you can play while standing. Find these at music supply stores. Before you play, make sure you feel comfortable. Bending over the keys is painful and sets a bad habit for beginners. Keep your back straight as you reach your hands out towards the keys. Adjust the glockenspiel until you can reach all of them without bending over or reaching up. Sometimes a tough day or nervousness can spill over into playing. Before you begin, take the time to shake out your arms. Practice turning your wrists and shrugging your shoulders until you feel loose. When you pick up the mallets, your grip should not feel tight. Tenseness will wear out your arms. You'll also strike the keys too hard.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Buy a pair of plastic mallets. Rest the glockenspiel on a stand or table. Stand or sit up tall. Relax before playing.
