Write an article based on this "Write down questions that you have. Write definitions. . Number important steps in plot development or argument."
article: When you hit parts of the book that you have trouble understanding or that you think require deeper analysis, write questions in the margins. Return to these after you finish the book to see if you can answer them. Questioning the text is a good way to produce original opinions about it. Write these in the margins in pencil or on a separate sheet of paper. When you get the answer, go back and write it under the question. If it's too long, write the page or paragraph number that the answer can be found on. When you encounter a word that you're having trouble with, circle it. Look it up when you can and write the definition next to it. If there is enough space, you can write the definition under the passage. For example, text books often have several line breaks between paragraphs. Take advantage of these. Take note of any key terms as well. Mark these in the passage so that you can see how they are used. Record new vocabulary words. Create a list of words that you circled. Go back and study it before you re-read the chapter. This will make it easier to understand the passage the second time. When you are trying to understand a process or a plot line, write down numbers on the margins. Number each step in the process as you encounter it. Then, when you go back, you can quickly identify how something happened. If, for example, you are reading a book on chemistry, you could number each step necessary to produce a chemical reaction.

Write an article based on this "Think about the reasons your brother bugs you. Do not engage in an argument right away. Talk it out. Know it's a phase. Spend time apart."
article: Maybe you are jealous of your brother, or he is jealous of you. Maybe you think your brother is annoying because it seems like he gets all the attention. It's pretty typical that an older sibling thinks the younger sibling is the favorite. Understand that you and your brother have different personalities and, because of that, sometimes butt heads. You can still be kind to your brother even if you don't always like him. If you typically feel left out or like your parents only give attention to your younger brother, consider requesting a family meeting or talk to your parents one on one. Very politely explain that you desire a good relationship with your brother and have realized that the conflict stems from your feelings of jealously. Try to come up with a solution together. It's possible that your parents just aren't aware that you feel this way. Be sure that you aren't accusing them of neglecting you. Instead of putting the focus on what they don't do, put the focus on your feelings. If your brother tries to pick fights or purposely does things to annoy you, don't take the bait. Smile and keep doing whatever you were doing. If you find that you can't keep yourself from responding negatively, you can say something like "I'll have to think about what you said," and then go into another room. Lock the door if necessary. Ask your brother why he is bothering you, but don't make it sound like you are attacking him. Say, "Why are you (saying, doing) that?" If he continues to bother you, tell him, "I feel (sad, hurt) when you (say those things, do those things) to me." Make this about your feelings and not about his actions. You don't want to behave in a way that could damage your future relationship with your brother. It might not seem like it now, but when you get older, your annoying brother might just turn into your close friend. We fight most with the people we are around all the time. Time away from your brother will help you have a more positive relationship. If you find it hard to avoid your brother at home, consider joining an after school club or volunteering in your community. In this way, you would be taking yourself out of the situation and would also be doing something positive for yourself or your community.

article:
Kirby cucumbers are the "classic" pickling cucumber, and are recommended for sweet and crunchy pickles. Typically, for pickling a batch, you'll want at least two or three pounds of cucumbers. Rinse them thoroughly and cut them in the desired shape. You can cut them into rounds or chips, spears, or keep them whole for pickling. If you keep them whole, trim off the flower-end of the cucumber. To ensure crispy canned pickles, pack your sliced or whole cucumbers in salt and ice and keep them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before you pickle them. In a bowl, toss 3-4 tbsp of kosher salt with your cucumbers and an equal amount of ice. Cover the bowl with a wet towel or plastic wrap and keep them in the fridge while you prepare the other ingredients and supplies. If you're going to can the pickles, you'll want a 1: 1 ratio of vinegar to water for making the "pickle juice." Depending on how many pickles you have, a quart should be enough. You can always mix up more on the fly. Regular white vinegar is fine, or you can use cider vinegar or another vinegar you prefer. To this, add 1.5 tbsp of kosher salt. Mix in a saucepan or pot. Heat the mixture on the stove until it comes to a boil. Lower the head and keep it at a steady temperature. It needs to be at boiling temperature to pickle the cucumbers. "Pickle crisp" is a commercial pickling product used to keep pickles crispy. It's basically calcium chloride. A natural alternative to pickle crisp is to use grape leaves in the jars, which was the traditional way to keep the pickles from softening. How you want to spice your pickles is up to you, but a typical "pickling spice" mixture includes black peppercorns, dill seeds, smashed or sliced garlic cloves, and red pepper flakes if you like some kick. You can either throw the dried spices into the pickling solution, or you can stuff the spice mix into the jars after you've prepared them and before you've inserted the pickles. Either is an effective way of spicing the pickles, but packing an amount in each jar will ensure an even amount of spice in each jar.
