article: If you store warm food in the fridge/freezer, the surrounding food will begin to thaw and spoil. Your food also won't cool evenly. At the same time, you need to cool it quickly, or your food will become a breeding ground for bacteria. If you plan on storing your food in the fridge/freezer, it must reach 40F (4C) first. According to food safety specialists, the "danger zone" for food is between 140F and 40 F (60C and 4C). Bacteria grows and breeds at these temperatures. Food should not remain in the "danger zone" for more than two hours. Once the food has reached 40F (4C) it is safe to be stored in the fridge/freezer. Try to have a fan on or a window open. This will help stir the air, and move the hot air away from the cooling food. If you have a free-standing fan, point it at the food you want to chill. The pan should be about 4 inches (10.16 centimeters) tall, and the food inside should be no more than 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) deep. Stir the food often to help release heat. Keep the pan loosely covered when you are not stirring the food to prevent contamination. This method is also good for liquids, such as soups and sauces. Try to use metal containers, such as stainless steel, instead of plastic or glass. They will cool down. If you can't find any shallow containers, then spread the food in a thin, 2 inch (5.08 centimeters) deep layer across the bottom of a larger container. Fill a sink with ice and some cold water to make a "slush." Place the pot with food in it into the sink. The food should be level with the icy water. Stir the food every 10 to 15 minutes. This helps it cool more evenly. Check the temperature of the food with a meat thermometer. When the food reaches 40F (4C) you can store it in the fridge/freezer. The ice will melt over time. When this happens, pour out the excess water and add more ice. If the food is taking too long to cool, separate it into smaller containers. These are what commercial kitchens use for cooling soups and similar food items. They are plastic paddles that are filled with water, and then frozen. Simply stir your soup with the ice or cooling paddle until it reaches the required temperature. The benefit to using ice or cooling paddles is that you won't dilute the flavor or texture of your soup. Consider wearing a glove or oven mitt to protect your hand from the cold paddle. This can be combined with an ice bath for even faster chilling. Follow the original recipe, but use less water. Towards the end of the cooking process, add some ice. Make sure that the amount of ice you are using makes up for the amount of water you reduced. You can plop in a few ice cubes after you have finished your sauce or soup instead, but the ice will add more water to your food once it melts, and dilute the flavor. This is ideal for things like meat, but can also be used for other items, such as lasagna and enchiladas. If you are going to freeze any of these items, you will likely to cut them down into small portions to make defrosting and reheating easier. Try to cut these foods down into individual-sized portions. They will cool down much faster.

article: Class is a time to learn new things and solidify the information that you may have learned in the previous class. If you don't go to class, it is much more difficult to stay current with the material. Ask questions in class. Your teacher is there to make sure you have a solid grasp on the material. If you have a question, don't hesitate to ask it. Some of the other students in the class likely have the same question. Prepare for class by reading the lesson you are going to cover ahead of time and know the formulas, theorems, and postulates by heart. Pay attention to your teacher while you are in class. You can talk to your classmates at break or after school. Geometry is the math of shapes and angles. To understand geometry, it is easier to visualize the problem and then draw a diagram. If you're asked about some angles, draw them. Relationships like vertical angles are much easier to see in a diagram; if one isn't provided, draw it yourself. Understanding the properties of shapes and visualizing them is essential to succeeding in geometry. Practice recognizing shapes in various orientations and based on their geometric properties (the measure of angles, number of parallel and perpendicular lines, etc.). Study groups are a good way to learn the material and clarify concepts you don't understand. Having a group that meets on a regular schedule will also force you to stay on top of the material and try your best to comprehend it. Studying with classmates is useful when you come to more difficult topics. You can work through them together to figure them out. One of your study mates may understand something that you don't and help you out with it. You might also be able to help them understand something and learn it better by teaching them. A protractor is a semicircle-shaped tool used to measure the degree of an angle. It can also be used to draw angles. Knowing how to properly use a protractor is an essential skill in geometry. To measure the degree of an angle: Align the center hole of the protractor over the vertex (center point) of the angle. Rotate the protractor until the baseline is on top of one leg of the angle. Extend the angle up to the arc of the protractor and record the degree it falls upon. This is the measurement of the angle. Homework is assigned because it helps you learn all of the concepts in the material. Doing the homework teaches you what you really understand and what topics you might need to put more time into. If you come across a topic in your homework that you are struggling with, focus on that topic until you understand it. Ask you classmates or your teacher to help you out. When you have a firm understanding of a topic or concept, you should be able to teach it to someone else. If you can't explain it to them so that they also understand, you likely don't get it as well as you thought either. Teaching material to others is also a good way to enhance your own memory or recall of the topic. Try teaching your sibling or parent some geometry. Take the lead in a study group to explain something you know really well. Geometry is as much a skill as a branch of knowledge. Simply studying the rules of geometry will not be enough to get an A, you need to practice solving problems. This means doing your homework and working extra problems for any trouble areas. Make sure to do as many practice problems as you can from other sources. Similar problems may be worded in a different way that might make more sense to you. The more problems you solve, the easier it will be to solve them in the future. Sometimes going to class and talking to your teacher just isn't enough. You might need to find a tutor who has more time to focus specifically on what you are struggling with. Working with someone one-on-one can be very useful in understanding difficult material. Ask your teacher if there are tutors available through the school. Attend any extra tutoring sessions held by your teacher and ask your questions.

article:
When you're hanging out with friends, see who can come up with the silliest laugh or speaking voice. Before you know it, you'll be laughing too hard to pretend! See who can come up with the silliest dare - and who's brave enough to try it! Some fun dares include: Daring each other to walk with a tomato balanced on your head. Make balloon animals and give them away for free to children. Do an impromptu street performance. Greet strangers with a big smile and something uplifting to say. You can make goopy, slimy fun in no time with a few simple household ingredients. Slime can be made by mixing Borax (a common cleaning product) with glue and water. Slime is safe to play with, but children should be supervised to make sure they don't eat it. If you don't have borax, try mixing cornstarch and water to create a cool substance that is similar to quicksand. Try to find the messiest foods possible to throw and smear. Think glazed donuts, spaghetti, mashed potatoes, and bottles of condiments. This one is best done outside for easy cleanup! Carefully fill a bunch of balloons with water and stash them in hidden places outside, then try to find them and throw them at your friends before they get you!
