INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To count to 10 in Arabic, start with the first five numbers. Repeat the words until you have them memorized. You might use flashcards to help test your memory of the words.  One is wahid (waah-heet) (واحد). Two is itnan (ihth-naan) (إثنان). Three is talata (theh-lah-theh) (ثلاثة). Four is arba'a (ahr-uh-bah-ah) (أربع). Five is hamsa (hahm-sah) (خمسة). Note that the h has a guttural pronunciation. Imagine exhaling a strong, deep breath from the back of your throat as you say it. Once you've got the first 5 numbers nailed down, you're ready to tackle the next 5. Practice them the same way you practiced the first 5, then put all 10 together to count to 10 in Arabic.  Six is sitta (siht-tah) (ستة). Seven is sab'a (sehb-uh-ah) (سبعة). Note that this sounds somewhat similar to the English word "seven." Eight is tamaniya (theh-mah-nee-yuh) (ثمانية). Nine is tis'a (tihs-anh) (تسعة). Speak the last syllable from further back in your throat. Ten is ashra (ahsh-ahr-rah) (عشرة). The r is ever so slightly clipped or rolled. " The English word "zero" actually came from the Arabic word "sifr." The concept of zero originated in India and the Arab world and was brought to Europe during the Crusades. Just as in English, the word for "zero" is not typically used in reading numbers, unless you're reading a list of cardinal numbers, such as a phone number or a credit card number. Western numerals are frequently referred to as "Arabic" numerals. However, the numerals traditionally used in Arabic are more properly called Hindu-Arabic numerals, as they were imported from India.  The Hindu-Arabic numbers are 10 symbols or digits, representing the numbers 0 and 1 through 9: ٩  ٨  ٧  ٦  ٥  ٤  ٣  ٢  ١  ٠ . As in English, these 10 digits are combined to form every other number. So 10 would be a 1 and a 0, just as in English: ١٠ (10). Arabic is written and read right to left. However, Arabic numerals are written and read from left to right, just as you read English and other European languages.

SUMMARY: Start with the words for numbers 1 through 5. Move on to the words for numbers 6 through 10. Say sifr (say-fur) (صفر) for "zero. Learn to recognize Arabic numerals.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Leave for 4 minutes, then turn over and toast the other side for 4 minutes. Or, heat for as long as it takes to be browned on both sides.  Place the squares on each bread half. Leave about 1/2 inch (1.2cm) at the edge free of chocolate as it will melt into this area. Bake for 1 to 2 minutes or until the chocolate starts melting. It should have a glossy texture. Sprinkle a few small drops of olive oil onto each slice and season with a pinch of salt for each slice. If you don't like the thought of oil and salt on the chocolate, skip; however, it does bring out a great flavor, which is why this is a popular method. Enjoy with a hot chocolate and some fresh berries in a side bowl.
Summary: Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Place the crusty bread slices on a baking sheet. Place in the oven to toast. Cut the slices in half. Break the chocolate into squares. Put the chocolate covered bread back into the oven. Remove from the oven. Serve immediately.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The correlation coefficient can be understood as an indicator of two things. The first is whether or not the two variables in question typically move in the same direction at the same time. If they do, the correlation coefficient is positive. If not, it is negative. The second thing the correlation coefficient can tell you is how similar these movements are. A correlation coefficient close of 1 or -1 represents perfect positive correlation or perfect negative correlation, respectively.  Correlation coefficients always vary between 1 and -1. A result of 0 indicates that there is no correlation.  So, for example, the example result of 0.809 from the other part of this article would mean that stocks X and Y are highly correlated. The two securities experience price movements in the same direction and usually in roughly the same magnitude. The primary use of stock correlation coefficients is in the preparation of balanced securities portfolios. Stocks or other assets within a portfolio can be assessed against others in the same portfolio to determine the correlation coefficient between them. The goal is to place stocks with low or negative correlations in the same portfolio. Thus, when the price of the first stock moves, the second will likely move oppositely or independently of the first. The result of these actions is effective portfolio diversification. This practice reduces "unsystematic risk," which is risk inherent to individual securities. The correlation coefficient is also frequently used to assess relationships between other data sets, such as mutual fund returns, Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) returns, and market indexes. Correlations coefficients can be calculated between these data sets and stock returns to diversify a portfolio or to figure out how a stock's price moves in relation to other market shifts. This can be useful for predicting the change in a stock's price that would occur in the event of another change in the market. For example, the stock price of a gold mining company might be positively related to the price of gold (with a high, positive correlation coefficient). If the price of gold is expected to increase, an investor would have reason to believe that the price of the company's stock will as well. of stock return data to obtain a 'scatter plot'. You can use a spreadsheet program to plot the dates and returns of your stocks. This makes it easier to note the properties of the data. Also, using spreadsheet software, you can plot a best fit line. The best fit line to the data is called the regression line.  On Excel, you can add this line by clicking "Chart" and then "Add Trendline." The program will then calculate a trend line based on your data.  The correlation coefficient is a measure of how closely the two stock returns fit the regression line. That is, how closely the return values satisfy a linear relation such as Y = βX + α for some constants α and β.

SUMMARY:
Understand your correlation coefficient result. Reduce risk in your portfolio. Expand your analysis to other assets. Plot the pairs
