Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look in a shop. Consider bundles. Look for used tanks. Check online. Consider a custom build.

Answer: Once you know what you want for your tank, it is time to purchase. Checking a local shop is always a good place to start as it allows you to see what shapes, sizes, and features are available to you.  Bring a tape measurer and measure tanks with stands to ensure they will fit properly in their intended area. Be willing to shop around. Different stores with different focuses will likely have different options. A pet store will have all the things a beginner needs, but more advanced aquarists may benefit from specialized options at aquarium stores. Often, tank dealers will bundle certain items such as the tank, stand, lighting, and filtration system. These will have a higher price tag than the tank, alone, but will often save you money on your overall tank setup. If you know of a tank brand you like, contact the dealer directly or check their website to see if they are offering any exclusive bundle deals. When a hobbyist makes the move to a larger tank, they will often look to sell their old tank setup. Check local ads in the paper and online to see if there is anyone in your area selling an aquarium in the size range you want. When reviewing these ads, always ask to see what is included. Sometimes, a substantial amount of the setup may be included while other sellers may be offering the tank alone. Often, you can find deals on aquariums online. Check with pet stores and major online retailers to see if they have a tank sized to meet your needs. Check the product dimensions carefully, though, and measure your space before ordering. Online ordering is particularly useful for individual aquarium components, as well as for small aquariums. Large aquariums may be cumbersome to retrieve and may cost a great deal in shipping. If you have the means, a custom-built tank may work well for you. Working with an aquarium builder, you have the chance to design a customized tank that meets your specific size and space requirements.  Custom builds are often costly, but will include everything from the tank, itself, to a stand and full filtration system. These builds are generally preferred for larger tanks.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Notice how physical health affects anxiety. Identify major life stressors. Reflect on past experiences. Recognize family influences.

Answer: Chronic health conditions can trigger feelings of anxiety. This can be true for yourself or regarding the health of a loved one, such as a parent, spouse, or child. Some common chronic health conditions that are associated with anxiety include diabetes, asthma, hypertension, and heart disease.  Take note of how you respond to caffeine, alcohol, or other mind-altering substances. These can trigger anxiety.  Some medical conditions can mimic certain symptoms of anxiety, such as having an overactive thyroid. If you are concerned, make an appointment with a medical doctor. Anxiety can come on as a result of life stressors or life changes. Some common triggers include work stress or job changes (including loss of employment), pregnancy or giving birth, violence, trauma, or abuse, or the death of a loved one.  Think about any life stressors you’ve encountered and how they affect or trigger your anxiety. Do you feel more anxious when you are stressed? What kinds of stressors trigger anxiety? Stay aware of your stressors and recognize what feelings arise when you are stressed. Sometimes anxiety can occur as a result of a scary or traumatic experience. Your anxiety triggers may result from associations you have with a past negative experience. Think about any bad experiences you’ve had and how they have affected you.  Think about situations that have been scary in your life. Perhaps you lived through a natural disaster or experienced violence. These events can affect you and cause anxiety. If you have experienced trauma, you may benefit from therapy to help you. If you grew up in an anxious family, your worldview may include seeing things through a tense or dangerous lens. Your family may have “taught” you to approach people and situations in a certain way. Genetic influences can also affect your anxiety because anxiety can run in families. Some people are more predisposed to experiencing anxiety than others. Think about if anxiety runs in your family and how it affects your family members. Then reflect whether you experience similar anxiety responses.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Acquire your smoker. Cure your smoker before you use it to cook. Buy your wood chips or charcoal. Find a safe place to put your smoker outdoors where it will not be a fire or health risk.

Answer: Electric, charcoal, gas and water are popular types of smokers that are used with everything from jerky to turkeys.  Electric and gas smokers will generally cook meat slightly faster than the other types. Assemble your smoker if you have just purchased it. Pay careful attention to the fire box and the air vents. These are essential parts of the smoker, which can result in fire or ruined meat if broken. You will need to start a fire in the fire box. Get it up to a temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) and then turn it down to 225 (107 degrees Celsius) to smoke for several hours. You will remove contaminants and have a layer of seasoning in the smoker. Wood chips are generally used with a smoker to create the smoke flavor, and they come in varieties like oak, alder, cherry, hickory and apple. Make sure the wood you choose is free of any chemicals. This is true of charcoal smoking as well, since the fumes from the chemicals will go directly on your meat. It is a good idea to begin with pre-soaked chips, instead of making your own. You will want it to be outside away from strong winds.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Produce a guttural “r” sound. Replace “th” with the “z” sound. Remember that the “h” is always silent. Change your production of the “j” and “g” sounds to “zh. Drop the “g” in words with “ng.

Answer:
The “r” sound is produced very differently in the French language. When you say the sound, you need to pull your tongue to the back of your throat far enough to vibrate your uvula. This will sound like you are pronouncing a “gee” sound. Your "r" will turn out to be a rolled/groaned “rgr.”  Consider practicing this in front of a mirror with your mouth open until you are comfortable with producing the sound. Another way to think of the French "r" sound is to replace the "r" with an English "h" sound, but try to really rough it up, almost gargling as you make the "h" sound. The “th” sound does not exist in the French language. When speaking English, French speakers tend to replace this sound with the “z” sound. If you want to be really accurate, shoot for a “dz” sound, like “dzees” for “this.” In the French language, the “h” is always silent. This is true whether it is in the beginning, middle, or end of a word, so omit it when you are speaking. For instance, instead of “how” you would say “'ow,” and instead of “hospital” you would say “'ospital.” ” In French the letter “j” is called “zhee, and “g” is called “jhay,” They are both pronounced like a soft “jhay,” like the “s” in “pleasure” and the “g” in “mirage.” For example, try pronouncing the word “joke” like “zhoke” and “judge” like “zhuzh.” ” The “ng” sound in words like “cling” is not used in the French language. You can use a “ny” like in the word “nyan.” Or, you can just drop the “g” and use the regular “n” sound. For instance, instead of “sang,” you would say “san.” And instead of “ring,” it would be pronounced “rgrin” with that guttural “r.”
