You should be left with four rough squares of dough. Work with one square at a time. Use your hands to round the corners, forming a circle that is about 9 in. (22.86 cm) in diameter. You should form about six wedges or triangular slices from the circle. Start from the broad end of the dough and roll the wedge along its length, toward the top point. Bend the new corners of the roll inward, forming a slight crescent. Form the remaining squares into circles, cut the circles into six wedges, and roll each wedge into a crescent shape. The baking sheet should be lightly greased or covered with aluminum foil, wax paper, or parchment paper. Place the rolls on the pan so that the tip is tucked beneath the rest of the roll. Cover the baking sheet with a clean, moist kitchen towel and set it out in a warm spot for three hours. The dough will not rise drastically, but this step is important to ensure that the rolls will not become too dense. The oven should be preheated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190.6 degrees Celsius) and the rolls should bake until they are golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.

One-sentence summary -- Cut both dough rectangles in half. Form the square of dough into a rough circle. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough. Form crescents. Repeat the shaping process with the remaining dough. Place the rolls on a baking sheet. Let the dough rise. Bake the rolls in a preheated oven. Finished.

Q: While you talk to them, watch their eye movements and body language. The stereotype is that liars will typically avoid eye contact, because they feel bad about lying or they worry they'll get caught. Many people know this stereotype, and so some liars will overcompensate by making a lot of eye contact. Consider whether the person is making an unusual amount of eye contact. Some researchers have noticed patterns in the directions that people look, related to when they are remembering something and when they are making something up. However, new research has shown that this method is very unreliable, and that it isn't helpful in detecting lies. Looking to your left (their right): Imagining something, or telling a lie Looking to your right (their left): Remembering something Thus, the person in the above image would be telling the truth. Don't jump to the conclusion that a person is lying just because they looked a certain direction. Look for other signals in their behavior, and check for multiple signs. Keep their baseline behavior in mind, and look for changes, like... Unusual gesturing, or lack thereof Looking away or checking the time Standing unusually still Big changes in tone or pitch of voice Sweating Unusual fidgeting Breathing fast Touching the nose and covering the mouth Rambling an unusual amount Swallowing often Body language that doesn't match their words, like shaking their head no while they say yes
A: Ask the person questions about the thing you're curious about. Compare their eye contact to their baseline. Notice which way their eyes are looking, without jumping to conclusions. Look at their body language for other signs.

Article: If you're naturally a better lyricist, you might find that you're inclined to start from lyrics. However, this is tricky and is not recommended, especially if your musical training is very limited. When you start from lyrics, you need to base your melody on the natural rhythm of the words and that can be very difficult, especially for a beginner. However, if you want to, you can start with lyrics. It seems kind of silly but many of the best melodies were born from someone just hitting random notes on a piano. If you have an instrument that you can mess around on, try this. Just play around, making patterns or just jumping around until you find something that sounds good. If you don't have an instrument, you can sing or use an online instrument. You can find many free pianos on websites and on apps available for your mobile device. You can take a really simple idea for a melody, just a progression of three or four notes, and transform that nugget of an idea into an entire melody. For example, take a small group of notes that you found using the playing around from the previous step. Think about where you feel the melody should go from there. People who are naturally musically-inclined will often just come up with little bits of music like this, like how an artist might get an idea for a painting. If this describes you, keep a digital voice recorder or a notebook (if you know any kind of music notation) If you're used to making chords, you can find a melody by playing around with chords as well. This is common for people who play piano or guitar, since those instruments rely heavily on chords. Do the same sort of playing around that we talked about in Step 1, but with chords, until you find something that sounds good to you. You can find websites that play chords for you if you don't have an instrument to work with or you don't know a lot of chords. Try humming along to the chords and mess around with ways to make it more complex. Since you can only make one sound at a time, you'll find you have a melody before you know it. Don't worry about lyrics right away: professional musicians almost always write a melody first and use nonsense sounds in place of words. Stealing someone's song sounds like a pretty bad idea, but like taking a transplant to grow your own garden bed, you can take the tiniest sliver from another song and transform it into something completely different. If you take only a progression of four or so notes and make enough changes, then your music is still perfectly original. Just remember that you're making it into something completely different. A good exercise is to borrow from a different genre of music. Say you want to write a folk song, for example. Try borrowing from rap. Want to write a country song? Borrow from classical. A motif is a set of notes that form a musical "idea". Many songs take a motif and then repeat that set of notes, with small changes, in order to create the melody. If you're struggling to come up with a melody, this is a great fallback option since you only need to start with a handful of notes. One of the best examples of this is the allegro con brio from Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. He took just a basic motif and repeated it over and over again and created one of the most iconic pieces of music ever.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Try not to start from lyrics. Play around! Transform a simple idea. Start from chords. Borrow from an existing melody. Build on a motif.
