INPUT ARTICLE: Article: . Many believe that hummingbirds respond quickly and more consistently with homemade nectar. Make enough for each feeder to be full (otherwise the nectar gets old and molds too quickly). Here's how: Combine 1 part sugar with 4 parts water Boil 1-2 minutes Cool and store the liquid in a resealable container in the refrigerator Do not use red food coloring, honey, or sugar sweetener. All of these are bad for hummingbirds. To really attract hummingbirds to a feeder and to keep competition at a minimum, get multiple feeders, all of which should have red on them (their favorite color). Not enough red? Tie a ribbon on them to make spotting them even easier. As for "when it gets warm," that all depends on your location. Some locations get warm in January, some in May. Whenever that is for you, make sure to hang them up at the very beginning of the season (5-10 days before you expect them) so your hummingbirds stay a while! Don't take your feeders down at the end of the season! Even when your hummingbirds leave for the winter, you may get new hummingbirds that are en route somewhere that could use your feeders as a convenient pit-stop. Your feeders should be spaced far apart and around corners where one male hummingbird can't guard them all male hummingbirds are very territorial. This will increase hummingbird numbers by giving other males, females, and juveniles a chance to feed without being chased away by a dominate male. Nestle one or two in your garden, hang one up in a tree, and even consider putting one or two in your front yard, where it's a sure thing they won't be seen around back! Try to pick areas that are in the shade, at least most of the day. This will deter mold growth, which hummingbirds are not fond of. Some people prefer to hang all their feeders together. This one no bird can be dominant, unable to fight off the wards of other birds. Most of the feeders have them built in, but if yours doesn't, you can buy one separately. You can also rub a little petroleum jelly on the edges to keep them away from the nectar, but this does require cleaning every couple of days. Bees are a little harder to get rid of. A bee-proof feeder is your best shot, but even that won't work 100% of the time. If you see nectar on the ridges of your feeder (as dripped by the birds), wipe it up to reduce temptation to the bees. Even if all the nectar isn't gone, change the nectar. If you don't, it'll likely mold this happens even more quickly in hotter climates. This is largely why you should only fill your feeders 1/2 full. With each changing of the nectar, rinse out the feeder with hot water; don't use dish soap. If there's mold (you'll see black spots), scrub it off or use sand and shake it until the mold comes loose. Hummingbirds prefer clean feeders, and actually will abandon a feeder that is neglected. To keep your hummingbirds happy, keep your feeders clean.

SUMMARY: Make your own nectar Hang multiple red hummingbird feeders when it gets warm. Choose different spots to keep the birds from fighting. Buy an ant guard if necessary. Change the nectar every 3-4 days.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Divide your content into major points and use them to set up an outline and develop subpoints underneath the major points. Starting with an outline will help you organize your thoughts and help you get starting in writing the actual wording of the lecture. Try to organize for consistency and include a relatively equal amount of information, subpoints, reflective questions, and sources for each larger unit of your outline. Introductions and conclusions are even more important for verbal lecture than written content because, unlike a written paper, the audience likely won't be able to go back if they missed something. The introduction should prepare the audience for the most important parts of the lecture and the conclusion should restate those essential parts. The statement of purpose should clearly outline the functional value of the lecture. For example, say "By the end of this lecture, you should be able to apply the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of sides of a triangle." Directly state the purpose of the lecture in both the introduction and conclusion. Consider ahead of time what you can cover in your allotted time. Generally, it takes 2 minutes to recite 1 double-spaced page, although this can vary from person to person. Assign a certain amount of time to each part of your lecture and time yourself as you practice. If you don't have much time, hit only the important points. Try not to go off topic or spend time discussing things that aren't relevant to your main point. It is usually better go slightly shorter with your lecture than to go over the time limit. Try to anticipate parts of your lecture that might be confusing and specific questions that the audience may ask. Where you do anticipate confusion, do your best to clarify each part of the information and make time to respond to questions or concerns. You should also try to demonstrate the concept in a practical way. For example, if you're explaining a difficult math formula, do work out several problems while clearly explaining how the formula applies. If you're having trouble determining this on your own, ask a friend or colleague to review it and determine areas of confusion.

SUMMARY: Start with an outline. Include an introduction and conclusion. Tailor the length to the amount of time that you have to speak. Anticipate questions and confusion.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When purchasing men's jeans, look for inseam measurements on the back label. They will typically be listed with waist size first and inseam second, so a pair of pants marked 34x32 will have a 34in (86cm) waist and a 32in (81cm) inseam. Women's jeans rarely list the inseam, so you may have to consult a store attendant, make a conversion using the brand's sizing chart, or measure the seam yourself. Websites like Search By Inseam allow you to find the inseam measurements for popular pant brands. Though compact shoes and sneakers won't make a significant difference, high heels and similar shoes may. In general, add between .5 and 1 inch (1.3 and 2.5cm) to your inseam measurement to accommodate raised shoes. If possible, measure your inseam while wearing the raised shoes to get a more precise number. Over time, jeans made from cotton, linen, and wool may shrink, something that will affect the inseam. If purchasing a name brand pair, search online for information on how much you should expect the pants to shrink. If necessary, purchase pants with an inseam that is about .5 inches (1.3cm) too large, giving the legs room to shrink.

SUMMARY:
Look for jeans that match your measurements. Add extra length if you plan on wearing the jeans with raised shoes. Check the jeans' material to see if it will shrink.
