Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a kebab recipe or pick your own ingredients. If using a recipe that contains meat, consider marinating. Soak wooden kabob skewers in a bowl of water. Cut your ingredients into small pieces. Skewer the ingredients end-to-end on the sticks.

Answer: Usually, kebabs contain meat and/or vegetables, though seafood like  scallops, fruit, and other ingredients are also sometimes used. Choose a selection of ingredients that suit you - there's no "wrong" answer here. Popular choices for kebab meat are chicken, steak, pork, sausage, lamb, shrimp, and fish; for vegetables are onions, mushrooms, green or red peppers, courgette, and tomatoes; and for fruit are pineapples, peaches, or apples. While any combination of the ingredients above should work well, certain kebab dishes with set recipes can also be attempted. Many traditional kebab recipes use lamb as their main meat. Below are just a few traditional recipes and their key ingredients  Kofta kebabs - lamb pieces seasoned with many spices Chelow kebabs - boneless lamb served over saffron rice Sheekh kebabs - ground lamb seasoned with cilantro and mint and prepared in a tandoor (traditional Indian oven) If you plan to grill meat, you may want to prepare a marinade, though it's certainly not essential. Soaking your meat in a marinade before grilling can give it the flavor of your marinade ingredients, creating new taste combinations that wouldn't be possible with un-marinated meat. Typically, to marinate meat, the meat is put in an airtight container (like a ziplock bag) with, at the very least, oil and an acid (for instance, vegetable oil and lemon juice). Usually, additional seasonings and herbs are added to these base liquids to build more complex flavors. For example, here are the ingredients an all-purpose teriyaki marinade that's suitable for beef, chicken, and more: Vegetable oil Soy sauce Lemon juice Garlic Pepper Worcestershire sauce When it comes to kebab grilling, you generally have two options in terms of skewers - metal or wood/bamboo. The former are sturdier and more durable, but more expensive, while the latter are cheaper and more convenient. If you choose to use wooden or bamboo skewers, soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking. This will help keep them moist during cooking and prevent them from catching fire or burning. Place your ingredients on a cutting board and use a sharp kitchen knife to slice them into roughly 1-inch (2.54 cm) thick cubes. Obviously, these dimensions won't be possible for certain types of food - for instance, bell peppers will have to be cut into small squares, rather than cubes. The most important thing to remember is to cut your ingredients into small pieces that are roughly equal in size so that they cook at roughly the same rate. If you're using meat and you haven't marinated it, you may at this point want to consider the use of a dry rub - a combination of powdered spices and seasonings meant to give the meat a flavorful outer layer. To apply a dry rub, simply mix the seasonings and coat the meat generously with the mixture. Here's an example of the ingredients in an all-purpose paprika rub that's great on steak: Paprika Salt Onion powder Garlic powder Black pepper Thyme Oregano Once your ingredients are just how you'd like them, it's time to make skewers! Use the sharp skewer sticks to pierce each piece of meat or vegetable and slide it to the end, building a "stack" of skewered ingredients as you go. Typically, kebabs alternate pieces of meat with pieces of fruit or vegetables, as this creates great flavor contrasts. Obviously, this is not an issue with vegetarian kebabs. When you've skewered all of your ingredients, you're ready to grill! Leave a small gap in between each piece to allow the kabob pieces to cook thoroughly on all sides.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take calcium and vitamin D3: Many people's diets are lacking in Omega 3, a crucial, non-inflammatory oil.

Answer: Lose four times more weight than those who didn't take a calcium and vitamin D supplement according to the study with female dieters using this trick in a recent study, they ate fewer fatty foods and lost that much weight. Why would a calcium supplement help? Researchers believe that when your calcium intake is low, your body may start craving foods rich in calcium. Many foods that are high in calcium are also high in fat and calories (such as ice cream and cheese). But the women in the study who were getting the calcium supplement (600 milligrams per day) lost more weight and more body fat while taking the supplement. Hereditary ratios of Omega 3 to Omega 6 are thought to be 1:1. However, the typical American diet has skewed this to as much as 1:20. This can result in constant hunger.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Recognize and listen for repetition and variation. Think carefully about the tone, mood, and feel of the music. Listen in for specific instruments, noting how the parts come together to form a greater whole. Think about the song's movement, or progression. Search for any crucial outside context about the track. Build up your musical concentration for longer pieces.

Answer:
There is very often also something new very near the end. Locate passages that you find especially rewarding. Are these passages repetitions, variations, or new? If they are variations, can you realize what it was that was varied? More importantly -- why is a certain section being repeated at all? Is it because the melody is great, or to make a point with the lyrics?   Melody is simply a collection of notes, like the beginning of "Seven Nation Army" or the vocal notes repeated in a chorus. A catchy melody, is usually the key to whether or not a song catches on.  Harmony is the collection of notes played at any one time. Some people think of it as "vertical," whereas melody is "horizontal." How do multiple voices, instruments, and notes come together in one instant to harmonize, or sound great on top of one another? What are the intangible feelings the song gives? Start simply -- is it happy, or sad? Do the instruments sound bright and bouncy, or thoughtful and somber? What sort of scene to you imagine the song being played over -- rainy, sunny, joyous, thoughtful, heartbroken, etc. Some terms to keep in mind include.   Colors: It may be hard to see color in sound, but close your eyes. Imagine the song is in a movie scene -- what is the dominant mood or color of that scene?  Balance: How many instruments are playing at once? Is it spare and sparse, the beginning of "Hey Jude?" Or is it big, bold, and filled with noise, like the end of "Hey Jude?"  Texture: A guitar can be "chunky" or "smooth," a trumpet solo can be "silky" or "abrasive." Mostly this comes from the rhythm -- are their long, well-held, smooth notes, or are they all short, choppy, and distorted? Notice things in the bass that seem alive, pregnant with meaning, or just sound cool. Notice the kinds of changes that happen at your favourite moment. Does the melody soar into an unfamiliar accent? Does a new rhythm add pungency? Does a buzz suddenly splinter into a fractured collision of noise and excitement? Does the song end up in the same, or a similar, place as where it started? Or does it tell a story, moving and evolving so that the singer feels "changed" from beginning to end. Both are viable types of songwriting, but both tell very different stories. If the song does seem to change, ask yourself how the singer and musicians made the "argument." At what point is there a shift in the overall idea or feel of the music? The key change in "Hey Jude" is one of the most important, and famous, instances of movement and change in pop music. In an instant, the song goes from somber and thoughtful to joyous and intense. Songs are not written in a vacuum -- and sometimes stepping into the context of a song suddenly makes the lyrics make sense. For example:  Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" gains even more power when you know it is about his tragically deceased son. Kendrick Lamar's "Blacker the Berry" is a searing personal letter written right after Trayvon Martin was murdered. If you do not know the huge political and social ramifications of that case then the song likely falls on deafer ears. Getting into jazz, classical, prog rock, or any other musical form with 10 minute songs, is daunting. Don't worry if you get distracted or even a little bored at first -- it is only natural. But push yourself to focus on each section on repeat listens. Composing these pieces is no mistake, and the composer is trying to fill the time and pull you along with the song at every second. While they might not always succeed, work on focusing throughout the whole song. You'll be surprised at the subtle, exciting bits and pieces you pick up. Try out Duke Ellington's "Diminuendo in Blue," to get started. It is long, but high-energy and exciting throughout, with well repeated themes and melodies.
