INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Our normal counting system is called decimal, or "base ten." We have ten different symbols for writing numbers, ranging from 0 to 9. Binary is a "base two" system, using only the symbols 0 and 1. If a binary number ends in 0, you can count one higher by changing this to a 1. We can use this to count the first two numbers just as you would expect:  0 = zero 1 = one For higher numbers, you can ignore the earlier digits of the number. 1010 + 1 = 1011. Now we have "1" for one, but we've already run out of symbols! In order to count to two, we need to write another digit. Add a "1" to the front of the number, and "reset" all the other digits to 0.  0 = zero 1 = one 10 = two This is the same rule we use in decimal when we run out of symbols (9 + 1 = 10). It just happens a lot more often in binary because we run out of symbols sooner. These rules will get you as far as the number five. See if you can do it yourself, then check your work:  0 = zero 1 = one 10 = two 11 = three 100 = four 101 = five Now we need to solve five + one in decimal, or 101 + 1. The key here is to ignore the first digit. Just add the 1 + 1 at the end to get 10. (Remember, this is how you write "two".) Now restore the first digit and you get: 110 = six There are no new rules you need to learn. Try it yourself, then check your work with this list:  110 = six 111 = seven 1000 = eight 1001 = nine 1010 = ten Do you see that ten (1010) doesn't look like a "special" number in binary? Eight (1000) is much more important now, because it equals 2 x 2 x 2. Keep multiplying by two to find other important numbers like sixteen (10000) and thirty-two (100000). Now you know everything you need to count in binary. If you're ever confused about what comes next, just work out what happens to the last digits. Here are a few examples to help you out:  twelve plus one = 1100 + 1 = 1101 (0 + 1 = 1, and the other digits stay the same.) fifteen plus one = 1111 + 1 = 10000 = sixteen (We've run out of symbols, so we reset to 0 and write a 1 at the start.) forty-five plus one = 101101 + 1 = 101110 = forty-six (We know 01 + 1 = 10, and the other digits stay the same.)

SUMMARY: Learn what binary means. Add one by changing the last 0 into a 1. Write another digit if all the numbers are one. Use these rules to count to five. Count to six. Count to ten. Notice when new digits get added. Practice with higher numbers.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are currently no studies being done on turmeric supplements for children, so children should not take turmeric supplements. Adults can take turmeric supplements in capsule, fluid extract, or tincture form.  Have up to 500 mg a day of turmeric in capsule form.  Take 30 to 90 drops of fluid extract turmeric a day. Have 15 to 30 drops of turmeric in tincture form, four times a day. It can be difficult for your body to absorb turmeric if you are taking it on its own. The herb is not water soluble and as a result, 99% of the herb can go right through your body, with no absorption. Taking turmeric supplements with lipids, or fat, seems to increase its absorption rate. You should speak to your doctor before you take any herbal supplements, including turmeric supplements. If you are on blood thinning medications, such as warfarin (Coumadin), clopidogrel (Plavix), and aspirin, you should avoid taking turmeric supplements. Turmeric supplements can strengthen the effects of these drugs, thereby raising your risk of internal bleeding. You should also avoid turmeric supplements if you are taking medication that reduces your stomach acid, as it can interfere with these drugs and increase the production of stomach acid to dangerous levels. Avoid turmeric supplements if you are on the following stomach acid medication: Cimetidine (Tagamet), Famotidine (Pepcid), Ranitidine (Zantac), Esomeprazole (Nexium), Omeprazole (Prilosec), Lansoprazole (Prevacid). Turmeric can increase your risk of hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, so it should be avoided if you are on diabetes medication.
Summary: Take the recommended dose of turmeric if you are an adult. Look for turmeric supplements that contain lipids. Do not take turmeric supplements if you are on blood-thinning medication. Avoid taking turmeric supplements if you are on diabetes medication.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is a great ring size to work with, though the paper can be bigger if desired. Make sure the proportions stay the same—the paper should be twice as long as it is wide. Use a thick, colorful piece of paper for a sturdy, bright ring. Lay the piece of paper on a flat surface with the longest sides positioned horizontally. Bring the top of the piece of paper down to form a crease in the middle. Unfold the piece of paper once this is done. You're creating a hot-dog style fold in the piece of paper. With the paper unfolded and positioned horizontally again, bring the bottom long edge up to the middle fold. Flatten this section to form a crease, and then pull down the top long edge to the middle fold and form a crease here. All of the folds made so far should be parallel to one another. Without unfolding any creases, pick up the paper and turn it over so that the side facing you is smooth. Position the paper vertically and pull down the top of the paper until it reaches the bottom of the paper, forming a middle fold. Press down firmly on all of your creases. Bring each corner to the middle, creating two folded triangles that touch each other. Press down on the creases so that they're nice and flat. Only do this to the folded edge, not the opposite end where there isn't a fold. After you've formed good creases, unfold the two small triangles. Unfold the vertical fold so that the piece of paper is long and skinny, and fold in both triangles that have creases in the middle of the paper so that they disappear. After this step is done, your piece of paper will be folded in half vertically again, resembling a short pencil with a pointed tip and a flat bottom edge. The tip of the 'pencil' should be pointing left. Pull up the bottom long edge of the paper to the center, forming a crease. Do the same thing with the top long edge, folding it over so it's touching the middle. Only fold the top layer of paper, not the bottom layer at this point. Turn the paper over with the point still facing the left. Pull up the bottom long edge of the paper to the middle, creating a strong crease. Pull down the top long edge to the middle of the paper as well. Only unfold the long vertical fold so that your paper 'diamond' is in the middle of a long, skinny paper band. To make your diamond look more square, stick the flat end of a pencil inside the diamond to flatten out its top. Position the ring on your finger with the diamond facing upwards. To ensure it fits well, slide the edge of one end of the paper into the other end of the paper, tightening it as necessary. Curling the ends of the paper around a pencil can help maintain its ring shape.

SUMMARY:
Cut a piece of paper to be 5 by 10 centimetres (2.0 by 3.9 in). Fold the piece of paper in half horizontally. Bring each long edge to the center fold, forming creases. Pick up the paper and turn it over before folding it in half. Fold down the corners of the new folded edge. Open the folded triangles and tuck them inside the paper. Lay the pencil-shaped paper horizontally on a flat surface. Flip the piece of paper over and fold in the other two long edges. Open the paper gently so the paper diamond is in the center. Fit the ring to your finger by connecting both ends.
