In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Eat larger meals at least an hour before swimming and at least an hour after swimming. Eat light before swimming, but make sure you eat something to have the fuel for the workout. You should eat less protein and fat before the swim because it takes longer to digest and won’t be able to be used as fuel. Carbohydrates are very important before the workout. Eat a snack within an hour after swimming to rebuild muscles. Wait at least an hour after the swim to eat a larger meal. This will give your body time to rest after the activity and let digestion return to normal. Immediately after a workout, you digest food slower and so eating a heavy meal can cause you to feel overly full. Eat more protein. This will help stabilize blood sugar if you need to go longer between meals. Eat breakfast. Make it a light breakfast if the race is in the morning and a heavy breakfast if the race is in the afternoon. Bring plenty of high carbohydrate snacks. This can be fruits, fruit juice, vegetables and crackers. You will need these on hand for breaks to boost energy quickly. Drink plenty of water. You should consume enough water so that you don’t feel thirsty and your pee is clear. Water is important because it keeps you hydrated and keeps muscle cramps and headaches away.
Summary: Plan meals around workouts. Eat right on race day.

You may feel too stressed or too busy to start all over making new friends. However, having friends can actually reduce your stress and lend you support. It takes time and effort to make friends, but it's worth it in the long run.  Schedule time for your friends the same way you do for anything else. Make it part of your weekly routine to meet up with a friend. If you can't make a weekly hang out happen, try for a monthly hang out.  When you hang out with a friend, don't let the get together end without making future plans. Set a date to hang out again, and stick to it. If you want to make friends you're going to have to put yourself our there, and that can be intimidating. Nobody wants to be rejected, but you can't let the fear of rejection control you.  Don't treat rejection like it's the end of the world. Keeping rejection in perspective will help you overcome it. You won't like everyone you meet, and everyone you meet won't like you.  When you encounter rejection, don't let it keep you from going out. See if there is anything you can learn from the experience. If they idea of talking to a complete stranger causes you to freeze up, you may have some stranger anxiety. Talking to everyone you meet may seem like an impossible task, but if you want to get over your anxiety, you'll have to make an effort to interact.  Start with talking to people you interact with on a daily basis. For example, when you go to a coffee shop, talk with the clerk who takes your order. Ask something like, "How's your day going?" Get used to making small talk with random people you see throughout your day.  If you're in school, try talking with some of your classmates before and after class. Ask about things you're interested in and see what kind of response you get. For example, you could ask someone, "Hey, did you see that episode of [favorite TV show] last night," or "Have you ever heard of [favorite band]?" Questions about pop culture are good ways to start small talk, and could lead to good conversation. As you practice talking to people, speak with confidence and try to make eye contact. Even if it feels unnatural at first, keep doing it. You want to get used to this kind of behavior so that the next time you go out, talking to people will seem easier.

Ask the students how many dogs are at the pet store. Place your marker or pointer on “10.” Ask the students how many dogs are adopted. Count down the number-line 6 places (9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4) to number “4.”  Ask the students how many dogs are left at the pet store. It's a good idea to create a permanent number line that your students can reference. You could use a permanent marker on paper, a poster, or the board, or you could use colorful washi tape on the board or wall. Explain that this word problem can be represented by a number sentence. Walk them through the process of translating the word problem into a number sentence.  Ask them how many dogs are at the pet shop. Write “10” on the board. Ask the students how many dogs are adopted.

Problem: Article: Ensure that the circuit for the room you are working in has been flipped off. This will prevent accidental electrocution and reduce the risk of fire.  Most circuit breakers are located in the garage or basement, but placement will vary from home to home. When you find the breaker box, locate the breaker that controls the lights for the room you are working on. Flip it to the off position to keep power from traveling down those wires. Most electrical panels label switches for the different rooms in your home.  Use a voltage tester to check that power is no longer flowing to that room. This will affect the way that you perform the installation. You can tell if the power is coming into the switch by removing the light switch panel. If two black wires are coming into the switch box, then the power is coming into the switch first. If there is only one black wire, then the power is coming into the switch from the light fixture. You can usually use an electrical tester to be sure. A 3-way switch will not have the words on or off written on it. Before you start installing, take a look at your new 3-way switch to identify all of the terminals that you will be connecting wires to.  Traveler wire terminals - These are located on each side of the switch towards the top of the switch.  Ground wire terminal - Older switches may not have this, but all new switches must. This is usually a green screw located on the top or bottom of the switch, mounted to the frame.   Common wire screw - This is located on the left side of the switch, and is a different color than the two traveler terminals.
Summary:
Switch off the circuit. Determine if the power goes to the light or the light switch. Replace any regular switches with the 3-way switches.
