Q: If you're naturally a better lyricist, you might find that you're inclined to start from lyrics. However, this is tricky and is not recommended, especially if your musical training is very limited. When you start from lyrics, you need to base your melody on the natural rhythm of the words and that can be very difficult, especially for a beginner. However, if you want to, you can start with lyrics. It seems kind of silly but many of the best melodies were born from someone just hitting random notes on a piano. If you have an instrument that you can mess around on, try this. Just play around, making patterns or just jumping around until you find something that sounds good. If you don't have an instrument, you can sing or use an online instrument. You can find many free pianos on websites and on apps available for your mobile device. You can take a really simple idea for a melody, just a progression of three or four notes, and transform that nugget of an idea into an entire melody. For example, take a small group of notes that you found using the playing around from the previous step. Think about where you feel the melody should go from there. People who are naturally musically-inclined will often just come up with little bits of music like this, like how an artist might get an idea for a painting. If this describes you, keep a digital voice recorder or a notebook (if you know any kind of music notation) If you're used to making chords, you can find a melody by playing around with chords as well. This is common for people who play piano or guitar, since those instruments rely heavily on chords. Do the same sort of playing around that we talked about in Step 1, but with chords, until you find something that sounds good to you.  You can find websites that play chords for you if you don't have an instrument to work with or you don't know a lot of chords. Try humming along to the chords and mess around with ways to make it more complex. Since you can only make one sound at a time, you'll find you have a melody before you know it. Don't worry about lyrics right away: professional musicians almost always write a melody first and use nonsense sounds in place of words. Stealing someone's song sounds like a pretty bad idea, but like taking a transplant to grow your own garden bed, you can take the tiniest sliver from another song and transform it into something completely different. If you take only a progression of four or so notes and make enough changes, then your music is still perfectly original. Just remember that you're making it into something completely different. A good exercise is to borrow from a different genre of music. Say you want to write a folk song, for example. Try borrowing from rap. Want to write a country song? Borrow from classical. A motif is a set of notes that form a musical "idea". Many songs take a motif and then repeat that set of notes, with small changes, in order to create the melody. If you're struggling to come up with a melody, this is a great fallback option since you only need to start with a handful of notes. One of the best examples of this is the allegro con brio from Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. He took just a basic motif and repeated it over and over again and created one of the most iconic pieces of music ever.
A: Try not to start from lyrics. Play around! Transform a simple idea. Start from chords. Borrow from an existing melody. Build on a motif.

Article: Whey protein is a popular choice because it is easy to digest and boosts energy. Take it within an hour of a weight training workout to help repair and grow your muscles.  Whey protein powder is widely available in health and fitness stores, either plain or in assorted flavors. Mix whey powder with water, milk, or other beverages for a quick post-workout protein boost. While many protein powders contain milk ingredients, there are vegan alternatives that offer many of the same benefits. Soy protein powder is easy to digest, smooth in texture, and can help to lower cholesterol. Pea protein powder is also vegan-friendly and highly digestible. Hemp protein powder is another vegan option if you are not aiming to lose weight, as it is high in calories and fat. Egg protein is low in fat and carbs, making it a perfect option if you are weight-conscious. Take this powder as part of a shake or snack before working out to boost your energy for exercise. You can also take it after a workout to recharge. Casein powder is highly effective because it lasts longer in the gastrointestinal tract, providing a slow and steady release of amino acids. This means that your muscles will have more time to repair and grow before your next workout. Consume this protein before you go to bed so it can work in your body throughout the night.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Opt for a whey powder if you want to build muscle mass. Go for a plant-based protein powder if you want a vegan option. Choose egg protein powder if you want to build lean muscle. Buy casein powder to build muscle fast.

Q: An engine block heater is a small heating device installed in the engine that plugs into a wall socket. It warms the engine and oil and eases start-up. Engine block heaters are not expensive, but they must be installed properly by a mechanic. Your car's battery can deliver much more power when it's warm. You can do this using a battery wrap. A battery wrap or blanket is usually a fixed installation of insulation and heating element around the battery.  They require about an hour to sufficiently warm the battery. Parking indoors, in a garage, helps to shelter a car's engine from icy winds and freezing temperatures. Heat the garage, if possible, to keep the temperature warmer. In the extreme cold, oil thickens and doesn't flow quickly to vital engine parts that need lubrication. A lightweight, winter-grade oil flows easier in cold weather and increases fuel economy. Your owner's manual should tell you the ideal type of oil you should use. Gas line antifreeze, also known as dry gas, is a chemical (essentially Methyl Hydrate) that is added to your gas tank to inhibit your gas line freezing. If your gas line freezes, your car will not be able to start until it thaws.  Many gas stations already add an anti-freeze agent into their gas during colder weather months.  Check with your station of choice and see if this is their practice. Add dry gas to your petrol or gas fill-up before filling the tank (if possible) to ensure it mixes completely in the tank. A fuel conditioner is a multi-functional diesel fuel additive. A diesel engine will start better in the cold if you use fuel conditioner, which prevents the fuel from "gelling" and ensures reliable fuel performance in severe winter conditions. Condensation on the walls of a gas tank will form and will eventually sink to the bottom and cause freezing problems in your fuel lines. It's much more difficult to start a cold car with a mostly-empty tank, so do yourself a favor and gas up often in the winter before letting the car sit.
A:
Warm the engine with a block heater. Keeping your car's battery warm. Park indoors. Use thinner oil. Use gas line antifreeze with fuel stabilizer. For diesel engines, consider using fuel conditioner. Keep your fuel tank full.
