In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most universities will give you the option of either purchasing or renting academic regalia. For most people, renting academic regalia is more cost effective. However, if you are planning on becoming a professor, you might be expected to wear regalia as a faculty member at future events. In that case, purchasing your own regalia might be more efficient. Many universities have a specific provider of academic regalia and will not permit you to purchase regalia elsewhere. Other universities will allow you to buy or rent regalia from any provider you choose, or perhaps borrow regalia from an alumna. Always adhere to your specific school's regalia requirements so that you are allowed to participate fully in commencement exercises. Different types of degrees require varying academic hoods. To make sure that you acquire the correct kind of hood, inform your provider whether you are earning an Associate's degree, Bachelor's degree, Master's degree, or Doctoral degree. An Associate's degree hood is usually worn flat against the back like a cape or cowl. Note that Associate's hoods are not as commonly worn as graduate degree hoods--you might not need a hood to be a part of your regalia. A Bachelor's degree hood is 3 feet long and does not end in a sharp point. Note that Bachelor's hoods are not as commonly worn as graduate degree hoods--you might not need a hood to be a part of your regalia. A Master's degree hood is 3.5 feet long and comes to a point at the bottom. A Doctoral hood is the longest hood at 4 feet long. It has the sharpest point and also the largest trim of all hoods. If you're not using the university provider, it's important to double check that your regalia adheres to school standards. Make sure that your regalia provider has all the relevant institutional information so that you match your fellow graduates. American universities have a standard set of colors that indicate your field of study, rather than just your degree. These fields determine the color of the velvet trim that lines your hood. European universities are not standardized in the same way as American universities. Check with your institution to make sure you are purchasing the correct academic hood. Law students, for example, wear hoods trimmed in purple, while all Ph.D. students wear hoods trimmed in royal blue.
Summary: Purchase or rent academic regalia. Consult your university policies about regalia. Tell your regalia provider which degree you're earning. Provide your seller with the name of your institution. Inform your provider of your field.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This phrase is a polite command that translates to "sleep well." Use it primarily with children, family, and close friends. Conjugate the verb dormir depending on the person you're addressing. Tu: "Que duermas bien." Usted: "Que duerma bien." Vosotros: "Que durmais bien." Ustedes: "Que duerman bien." Particularly if you're telling someone to "sleep well" and intend it more as an instruction (for example to a child), this phrase is appropriate. Tu: "Duerme bien!" Usted: "Duerma bien!" Ustedes: "Duerman bien!" This phrase is used to mean "sweet dreams," although the literal translation is something like "that you might have sweet dreams." This phrase typically is only used for children occasionally for younger siblings or significant others. Since the phrase is only used familiarly, you only need the familiar conjugations of the verb tener. Use tengas if you're addressing one person, and tengais if you're addressing several people. You also can shorten the phrase and simply say "dulces suenos," or "sweet dreams." This phrase, typically only used with children, means "dream with the little angels." This phrase uses the verb sonar ("to dream"), which is conjugated irregularly. However, since it's only used for children, the familiar conjugations are the only ones you need to know: suenes (singular) and soneis" (plural). You can also say this in the command form: "Suena con los angelitos."
Summary: Say "que duermas bien" (kay doo-EHR-mahs bee-EHN). Use the command "duerme bien" (doo-EHR-may bee-EHN). Wish someone "Que tengas dulces suenos" (kay tehn-GAHS dool-SAYS soo-EHN-yohs). Try "que suenes con los angelitos" (kay soo-EHN-yehs cohn lohs ahn-jay-LEE-tohs).

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The singer should be a trained vocalist, as power metal music can be extremely vocally demanding. Many Power Metal vocalists choose to sing in a high vocal register, but this is not a necessity. Lyrics are generally high fantasy themed, featuring references to Elves, Dragons, Lord of the Rings, and other fantastical elements, though your songs should be about whatever you want them to be about. Many bands choose to tell fantastical, epic stories through their music. Mastodon even recorded a concept album about Moby Dick. A common element of most power metal songs is the fast, intense instrumentation. This makes power metal parts particularly difficult to play, so start by writing them and practicing at a comfortable speed and gradually speeding up as you learn the parts. You will probably find yourself writing songs between 150 and 200 bpm, so you will need a drummer who can keep up. In particular, power metal drumming is important in dictating the rhythmic drive of the music. You will want a drummer who can keep good time, hopefully with two bass drums and double kick pedals, and to use these quite frequently. The rhythm guitar is the backbone of power metal music, playing the chord progressions that compose the "meat" of the song. Playing a power chord, then picking the root note palm muted is a very common rhythm guitar technique in power metal. However, power chords don't necessarily have to be built off of the root note of a chord. For example, in pre-choruses, going up or down a third can sound very epic, and builds up nicely to the chorus being on the root note. Key changes can sometimes be found in the final choruses of some songs, where the main progression is moved up a tone. Minor and harmonic minor scales are great to use, while some modes, such as phrygian and dorian can also be useful. Guitar harmonies are very common as well, with third and octave harmonies being the most common. Quartal (fourth) harmonies are not as common. Sweep picking, tapping and fast alternate picking are commonly used for solos, but don't think you can just play fast and people will enjoy it! In good solos, bends add an extra degree of emotion when used properly.
Summary:
Write epic lyrics and sing them well. Gradually increase the speed at which you practice the song. Have chugging rhythm guitars. Have fast, shredding lead guitar licks.
