Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get plenty of sleep. Drink lots of water. Drink warm tea. Humidify your environment. Take vitamin C. Eat plenty of garlic. Consider medication. Rest your voice. Warm up, if desired.

Answer: If you decide to go ahead with the performance, there are things you can do to minimize the effects of the cold. Getting enough sleep is important for anyone recovering from a cold. For singers, inadequate sleep sometimes causes notes to come out a little flat. Sleeping with an extra pillow can help the excess mucous drain better, rather than accumulating in your throat. Drinking plenty of water is important for anyone trying to get over a cold. For a singer, it's especially important, as staying hydrated is important for your vocal quality. If you're feeling really dried out, as much as a gallon per day is appropriate Drink water at room temperature. Drinking very cold water can make it harder for the muscles in your throat to function as they should, so definitely don't add ice! Prepare warm (not scalding hot) herbal tea with lemon and honey. The honey will coat your throat, preventing damage to your voice. Licorice and slippery elm tea, along with honey, are particularly soothing to an inflamed throat. Humidifying the air can also help your vocal cords, as you will be breathing in moisture. Run a humidifier while you sleep during the nights prior to the performance. If you don't have a humidifier, close yourself in the bathroom with the shower running. The warm steam from your shower will have the same effect. Vitamin C is a natural immune system booster. Take plenty in the days leading up to your performance. Vitamin C is found in fruits like oranges and pineapples, and can also be taken as a vitamin supplement. Many singers also believe that eating garlic can help combat a cold. Indeed, garlic is a great immune system booster, rich in sulfuric compounds that can kill bacteria and other infections, and is also a great source of potassium. Garlic is found in many foods and can also can be taken a supplement, but some singers believe that eating cloves of raw garlic is most helpful. Doctors agree! Raw garlic is most beneficial for the immune system. Some cold medications may dry out your throat, making the situation worse rather than better. Choose the medicine that's right for you. Decongestants help eliminate excess mucous, but also dry out your nose and throat. They can leave your vocal cords feeling rough or tired very quickly once you start singing. If you use decongestants, make sure to drink a lot of water! Numbing sprays and lozenges can provide immediate relief for a sore throat, but they also make it harder to tell if you might be straining your vocal cords, making damage more likely. Many medications contain alcohol. While this can make you feel better, it can also dry you out and even lead to more mucous production. It is best to stay away from such medications (and alcohol in general) before singing. In the days before your performance, use your voice as little as possible. This will help your voice recover. Some singers who will be performing with a cold choose to rest their voices as long as possible, especially if they have a cough. Others choose to do some light warmups, such as the following: Early on in the day, warm up your voice without singing. Try some light humming. Or, just practice talking in different pitches, using resonant words like "yeah" or "myah." If your voice cracks or starts to feel strained, stop and resume your vocal rest.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Locate the numerators and denominators. Subtract the numerators. Reduce or solve the fraction if necessary.

Answer: For instance, look at the equation 12/26 4/26 1/26. In this example: The numerators are 12, 4, and 1 The common denominator is 26 Like with addition, you don't have to worry about doing anything to the denominator, so just find the difference between the numerators: 12 4 1 = 7 Rewrite the fraction with the new numerator. 12/26 4/26 1/26 = 7/26. Similar to adding fractions, when you subtract fractions you can still end up with: An improper fraction that can be converted to a mixed number A fraction that can be solved through division A fraction that can be put into a simpler form by finding a common denominator

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Sow the seeds. Cover the seeds with soil. Water the seeds. Watch for pests. Wait for the seedlings to mature. Harvest your fenugreek. Replant.

Answer: Sprinkle seeds across the dirt in the areas you want your fenugreek to grow. Don't worry about making sure that the seeds are even or perfectly spaced. Fenugreek seeds don't have to be distanced a certain amount of space apart in order to grow properly like some plants. Some people recommend soaking the seeds in water overnight before you plant them. Fenugreek does not need to be buried very deep in soil. In fact, only .5cm, or inch, of potting soil provides ample coverage for your fenugreek. You will want to be sure they're buried so that scavengers like birds will not eat them. In order for the seeds to germinate (that is, begin to sprout), you will have to water them in the soil. Make sure that the soil is evenly moist. The excess water should quickly drain away, but you will want to continue to keep it well-moistened over the coming days. Sometime between the third and fifth days they should start to bud. Because of the rainy environment that fenugreek adapted to, it's advised that you maintain a steady slow drip watering method instead of pouring water on the surface periodically. Not only will this make water delivery constant and even, it also allows the water to penetrate the soil deeper and more effectively. Although fenugreek does not suffer from too many pests or diseases, you may notice a powdery mildew, aphids, or charcoal rot. Use organic pesticides and avoid over watering to help control any pests or diseases that may try to attack your fenugreek. It takes between 3-4 weeks for the seedlings to be ready to harvest. You will know that it's time by the height of the sprouts, which should grow to about 6 inches or 140 mm tall. Depending on whether you're trying to get leaves or seeds from your fenugreek you will want to vary how you harvest the plant. For leaves, cut the plant at the stem a few centimeters above the soil or pull them up by the roots. For seeds, wait for the pods on the plant to turn yellow, signalling that they've fully ripened, and harvest the seed before the pod pops open. Some varieties of fenugreek do not regrow after flowering. So if you want a constant supply of fresh fenugreek, you should plan to sow seeds every 2-3 weeks, as that is around the time the current set of plants will die. If you want to reuse the same area, especially immediately, you'll want to pull up the remains of the plants after harvesting and compost them.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Position. Hands and arms. How to do this move.

Answer:
To set, you'll need to lean forward a bit, but only a little. Bend your knees slightly. Be ready to push up, and straighten your legs and your power source. Bend your elbows at an angle. Put your index and thumb fingers so they are almost touching their opposites. There should be a spade-type space between. Place hands so thumbs are close to the forehead's hairline. Your knees and limbs are bent at the above angles or amounts. When the ball comes, flick it up and forwards. Be sure to push off from your legs and ankles. This move is very difficult for some to master-so don't worry if you can't do this! If you're a/the setter, you play an important role and need to practice setting more than others.
