In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: " The main room of a studio functions as three spaces in one: a bedroom, living room, and kitchen. You can create the feeling of three separate rooms by using the furniture to section off areas. Couches, armchairs, or loveseats can box off a "living room" area. Your bed can similarly separate your sleeping area. Rugs, coffee tables, or shelves can anchor your apartment furniture and make your apartment sub-rooms feel more organized. Your bed should be placed either parallel or perpendicular to a wall. If you place your bed in the center of the room, your studio will feel cramped and cluttered. Consider investing in a day bed or pull-out bed if you are short on space. For additional space, choose a low-rise bed without a frame. This will prevent your bed from obstructing windows or blocking up extra space. Incorporating dividers can help you separate your studio apartment into separate areas. When guests are over, you can divide off your sleeping area for a sense of privacy. Folding screen or ceiling-mounted drapes can take up minimal space in your studio when they're not being used. Try to section off the room into aesthetically-pleasing ratios. Room sections look most pleasing to the eye if they are divided up into 1/3 or 2/3 proportions. To get the most out of your shelves, choose ones that are tall and thin. You will be able to utilize more space for your belongings without choosing a massive storage system. A large bookshelf or wardrobe can serve as a great separator between your sleeping area and living area. Placing high shelves above doorways or windows can also draw the eye upward (again giving the impression of a larger space) and give you more space in your studio. The furniture you choose can help with the illusion of space. Couches or chairs with visible legs (as opposed to legs draped over with cloth) create a feeling of light and airiness. The space between the floor and your furniture will help with an open floor plan. Avoid setting your furniture in the middle of the room, where it can block your space from one end to the other. Pushing most of your furniture to the edges will maximize open space and avoid a claustrophobic atmosphere. Assess this by walking from one end of the studio to the other. If you can do so without much hassle, you have a clear pathway. When arranging furniture in studio apartments, pick quality over quantity: too many chairs or sofas in a small space can leave you feeling trapped. When making the choice between two small couches or one large one, always opt for the latter.
Summary: Use furniture to divide your apartment into "sub-rooms. Place the bed directly against a wall. Install moveable dividers. Think vertically with storage space. Choose furniture with visible legs. Clear a pathway. Pick your furniture carefully.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The descriptions below use various terms or numbers to describe the mineral's shape, hardness, appearance after breaking, or other attributes. If you're not sure what these mean, refer to the section above on conducting tests for an explanation. Quartz is an extremely common mineral, and its glittering or crystalline appearance catches the eye of many collectors. Quartz has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, and demonstrates any type of fracture when broken, never the flat surface of cleavage. It does not leave a noticeable streak on white porcelain. It has a glassy luster, or shine. Milky quartz is translucent, rose quartz is pink, and amethyst is purple. All types of quartz are crystalline, but some varieties, called "cryptocrystalline," are made of minuscule crystals not visible to the eye. If the mineral has a hardness of 7, fractures, and has a glassy luster, it may be a type of quartz called chert. This is most commonly brown or grey. "Flint" is one variety of chert, but it is categorized in many different ways. For instance, some people may refer to any black chert as flint, while others may only call it flint if it has a certain luster or was found among certain types of rock. Chalcedony is formed from a mixtures of quartz and another mineral, moganite. There are many beautiful varieties, typically forming striped bands of different colors. Here are two of the most common: Onyx is a type of chalcedony that tends to have parallel bands. It is most often black or white, but can be many colors. Agate has more curving or "wiggly" bands, and can show up in a wide variety of different colors. It can form from pure quartz, chalcedony, or similar minerals. Besides the many varieties of quartz, feldspar is the most common type of mineral found. It has a hardness of 6, leaves a white streak, and can appear with various colors or luster. It forms two flat cleavages when broken, with surfaces that are fairly smooth and nearly at right angles to each other. This mineral is easily identified because it peels into thin, flexible sheets when scratched by a fingernail or even rubbed with a finger. Muscovite mica or white mica is pale brown or colorless, while biotite mica or black mica is dark brown or black, with a brown-gray streak. Pyrite, also known as fool's gold, has a metallic yellow appearance, but several tests can distinguish it from real gold. It has a hardness rating of 6 or more, while gold is much softer, with a rating between 2 and 3. It leaves a greenish-black streak, and can be crushed into powder if enough pressure is applied. Marcasite is another common mineral similar to pyrite. While pyrite crystals are shaped like cubes, marcasite forms needles. Both of these minerals contain copper, among other minerals. The copper gives malachite its rich green color, while it causes azurite to appear bright blue. These often occur together, and both have a hardness between 3 and 4. A mineral guide specific to your area will cover other common types of mineral found in that region. If you are having difficulty identifying a mineral, some online resources such as minerals.net will let you search for the results of your tests and match them to possible minerals.
Summary: Refer to the previous section if you don't understand a description. Crystalline minerals are most often quartz. Hard, glassy minerals without crystals may be a different type of quartz, called chert. Minerals with striped bands are usually a type of chalcedony. See if your mineral's characteristics match feldspar's. If the mineral peels when rubbed, it is probably mica. Learn the different between gold and fool's gold. Green and blue minerals are often malachite or azurite. Use a mineral guide or website to identify other types.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Don't overlap the dough or let it touch, or the crackers will be stuck together. The dough shouldn't expand much, so you don't need large spaces between the crackers. Don't grease the baking sheet. The oil will soak into the hardtack and it won't last as long. This gives the crackers an even tan color. When one side is done, flip each cracker over to bake the other side. Be careful when flipping the crackers. Use tongs so you don't get burned. Leave the crackers out to cool for several hours. Cut one in half to make sure it's cooled all the way through. Then transfer them into a jar or plastic bag. Use a clear container so you can monitor the hardtack for mold without opening the container. Hardtack can last for years if it's stored properly. After the crackers are in an airtight container, place them in a cool area away from direct sunlight and take them out when you need them. Store the hardtack in smaller amounts so if you only want a few crackers, you don't have to expose the entire batch to air and moisture. Monitor the hardtack over time for mold. If you see any of this forming, throw the batch out and cook a new one. Some survivalists vacuum-seal their hardtack to make it last even longer.
Summary:
Lay the crackers out on a baking sheet. Bake the hardtack for 30 minutes on each side. Transfer the crackers into an airtight container after they've cooled. Store the crackers in a cool area away from direct sunlight.
