INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Risk is a strategy game, so it rewards players who employ tactics and who outsmart their opponents. The three pieces of strategic advice given to players by the Risk rulebook include: Try to hold entire continents to get the bonus reinforcements. Your might is measured in army reinforcements, so it's a good strategy to get as many reinforcements as possible. Watch your borders for buildups of enemy armies that could imply an impending attack. Make sure your own borders are properly fortified against enemy attack. Cluster your reinforcements mostly along your borders to make it harder for enemies to penetrate your territory. One way to improve your chances of winning is to go on the offensive right away and attack your opponents every chance that you get. This strategy will help you to gain more territories quickly, which will give you more armies to work with at the beginning of your turns. Attacking often will also take armies away from your opponents, so they will have fewer armies to work with. Eliminating weak opponents with plenty of Risk cards has two benefits: it gets rid of an enemy as well as netting you extra cards. Pay attention to your opponents' cards in hand as well as their potential weaknesses to determine if there is anyone you can take out during the game. Players who regularly play Risk know that certain continents can be more advantageous to seize control of than other continents. For example, conquering small continents is an advantage because they have fewer territories and are easier to control. Other strategies around continents include: Australia Theory. Start in Australia and hold control of it. This will give you two extra reinforcements per turn, and it can only be accessed by one territory. Build troops and move up through Asia when it begins to weaken. North America Theory. Begin in North America, fortify it against Europe and Asia. Move down to South America, cut through Africa and move up. This operates on the assumption that Asia and Europe are fighting each other to expand. Africa Theory. Begin in Africa, then fortify it against Europe and South America. Move left to South America, cut through North America and move to Asia through Alaska. This operates on the assumption that Asia, North America and Europe are fighting each other to expand. Try not to begin in Asia; it has too many borders to fortify and will quickly lead to over-expansion and spreading your troops thin. Instead of attacking as much as you can, you might choose to defend your borders and build up your troops. While you will not receive the continent bonus of armies at the beginning of your turn, having strong defenses will make it harder for your opponents to attack you and win. While this isn't outlined as a "rule" in the official book, you may benefit from creating agreements with players to help each other and take out other players. Just keep in mind that you will eventually need to attack each other. A sample agreement might be something like, "Neither of us will expand into Africa until Alexander is out of the game." This will make it easier to concentrate your efforts on other objectives.

SUMMARY: Know the three basic strategies described in the Risk rulebook. Attack as much as possible early in the game. Eliminate weak players with lots of Risk cards. Learn the continent theories. Use a defensive strategy to hold onto a cluster of countries that fall across several continents. Create allies.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: On the other hand, to convert a Fahrenheit temperature to a Kelvin temperature, it's easiest to convert to Celsius and then make the conversion to Kelvin from there. This means we begin by subtracting 32. Let's say the temperature is 82F. Subtract 32 from that number. 82 - 32 = 50. When converting Fahrenheit to Celsius, the next step is to multiply by 5/9or divide by 1.8 if you have a calculator around. 50 x 5/9 = 27.7, which is the Fahrenheit temperature now converted to Celsius. Since the difference between Celsius and Kelvin = 273.15, you can then get the Kelvin temperature by adding 273.15. 273.15 + 27.7 = 300.8. Therefore, 82F = 300.8K. Compare your result to this table to see if it makes sense. If it doesn't seem to fit the scale, try again. Make sure you subtract before multiplying. Fahrenheit kelvins (approx) -25 241 0 255 32 273.15 exactly 70 294 100 311 150 339 212 373.15 exactly

SUMMARY: Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature. Multiply that number by 5/9. Add 273.15 to this number. Check your answer.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Even though the word "matin" means "morning, French speakers don't typically use it to say "good morning" to people. Instead, they simply say "bonjour" (bohn-zhoor). While this word technically means "good day," and is more typically used simply to say "hello," it's the common way to say "good morning" in most Francophone countries. The French, generally speaking, don't place much emphasis on the morning. For example, breakfast is a small, light meal. This may be part of the reason it's not common to greet someone specifically with "good morning." "Salut" (sah-loo) is a more casual form of "hello," similar to a "hi" or "hey" in English. If you're talking to close friends or people younger than you in the morning, this is a good way to say "good morning." The French culture is relatively formal. Even among close family members, "salut" may not be appropriate if they are older than you or have some level of authority over you. The phrase "bonne matinee" (buhn meh-tee-nay) does mean "good morning," but it's never said when you are greeting someone for the first time in the morning. Rather, you might say it as you're leaving to go on about your day. Used this way, the phrase more accurately means "have a good morning," as a wish you extend as you depart someone's company. You can think of it as similar to how people in America may say "have a nice day" as they take their leave.

SUMMARY:
Say "bonjour" to tell people good morning in most contexts. Switch to "salut" when greeting friends. Offer a "bonne matinee" as you are leaving.
