INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Handbrake is a free program that will allow you to re-encode your video files so that they are lower resolution and smaller file sizes. You'll see this at the bottom of your browser after it downloads. You can also find it in your Downloads folder. You can find this in the upper-left corner of the Handbrake window. This will lower the resolution of your video, which can drastically lower the file size. For example, changing the value from 1920 to 1280 will change the video from 1080p to 720p, resulting in a much smaller file. Resolution changes are more noticeable on larger screens. Other values you could enter to change the size and maintain the aspect ratio are 1024, 1152, 1366, 1600, and 1920. Note that these are common resolutions for widescreen videos. If your videos are a different aspect ratio, such as a vertical cellphone video, you'll want to use different values. Increasing the value will lower the quality, which will result in a smaller file size. 20 is considered DVD quality. If you're going to be playing the video on a small screen, you can probably go as high as 30. For larger screens, stick to 22-25. The slower you set this slider, the smaller your final file size will be. Set this to as slow as you can handle. You'll see this at the top of the window. The encoding process will begin. The time this takes will vary greatly depending on the size of the video, your encoding settings, and your computer's processing power. You'll find the new video file in the location you set for it earlier. Play it to test the quality and ensure that the encoding went smoothly. You should notice a large change in the file size.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The counterweight is what will launch the projectile from your trebuchet. Take 2-3 AA batteries or a roll of coins and wrap it in tape so there isn't any movement when it swings. If the parts move around while the trebuchet swings, the projectile won't fly in a straight line. Use electrical tape or duct tape to secure the counterweight. After you wrap the counterweight with tape, place a twist tie on top of it and wrap it with more tape to secure it. Leave a small length of the twist tie exposed so you can attach it to the swinging arm. Position the twist tie on the counterweight so it's pointing up. Loop the twist tie through the hole of the eye hook on the swinging arm. Then, twist it so it's tight and secure on the hook. If necessary, wrap more tape around the weight and twist tie so it won't come undone. When you connect the counterweight, the swinging arm will be held pointing straight up.

SUMMARY: Wrap a battery or a roll of coins in tape to form a counterweight. Tape a twist tie to the counterweight. Connect the twist tie to the eye hook on the swinging arm.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If the sleep study confirms you have sleep apnea, the doctor will document the diagnosis, and you will have your official record of a positive diagnosis of sleep apnea. Follow your doctor's instructions for treating your sleep apnea. Your doctor may prescribe either a continuous positive airway pressure or bilevel positive airway pressure (CPAP or BiPAP), device to help regulate your breathing. You will need to wear this device every night to help regulate your breathing while you sleep. Your doctor may also make other recommendations about your lifestyle that may eliminate or at least lessen the symptoms of your sleep apnea. It is very important that you follow the instructions and use the CPAP or BiPAP machine every night or at least five nights out of the week. The C-PAP is not only to help treat your diagnosis, but to ease the symptoms and suffering caused by this serious condition. It is vitally important not to ignore symptoms of sleep apnea and seek confirmation and treatment. If left untreated, the symptoms become worse, and the risk of developing additional serious physical ailments increase, and the higher the chances of putting your physical health and well-being at risk. If left untreated long enough, it can be even be fatal. Be assured that sleep apnea is easily treatable, and with proper diet and exercise in addition to the disciplined use of the CPAP machine, your symptoms and suffering will begin to lesson, more and more. Within a year, it is very possible you may be symptom-free and healed of the disorder. Your doctor will re-test you at the end of the treatment period to determine if the disorder is still present, and the majority of cases where treatment was followed consistently, the test will confirm you no longer suffer from sleep apnea. Since excess weight may be the cause of your sleep apnea, losing even a little weight may help to treat your sleep apnea. Make sure that you seek your doctor's advice before beginning a weight loss program and follow your doctor's recommendations for healthy weight loss. Obstructive sleep apnea symptoms may improve by getting 30 minutes of moderate activity each day. Try walking at a comfortable pace for 30 minutes per day to start and slowly increase your activity level as tolerated. These chemicals interfere with your breathing patterns by relaxing your throat. By decreasing or eliminating your intake of these chemicals, you may see an improvement in your sleep apnea symptoms. Make sure that you talk to your doctor before stopping any prescription medications. Smoking increases fluid retention in your throat and upper airways and increases inflammation in the same areas. These effects can make obstructive sleep apnea much worse. Talk to your doctor to get help as well as information on smoking cessation programs in your area. Sleeping on your side or stomach will lessen or eliminate the symptoms of sleep apnea. When you sleep on your back, your tongue and soft palate are more likely to block your airway and cause sleep apneas. Try placing pillows behind you or sew a tennis ball into the back of your pajama top to prevent yourself from rolling over onto your back. For some people, using a nasal spray or allergy medicine can help keep your nasal passages open at night, allowing you breathe more easily. Talk with your doctor about whether this is a good option for you.

SUMMARY: Start immediate treatment and plan for the future. Lose weight if you are overweight. Exercise every day for at least 30 minutes. Decrease alcohol, sleeping pills, and sedative intake. Quit smoking if you are a smoker. Sleep on your side or stomach instead of sleeping on your back. Talk to your doctor about nasal sprays and allergy medicines.
