Summarize the following:
Getting outside and getting some fresh air will help to pass the time and it can also help to relieve stress. Try taking a quick walk around your neighborhood or office building. Even if you only have 10 minutes, going out for a quick walk is a great way to pass the time. Not only it is healthy for you, but it helps to pass the time.  Try inviting a coworker or friend to join you on a walk to make it even more enjoyable. For example, if you are working, then you could take your break in the form of a walk with a coworker. You can even bring a cup of coffee, tea, or any other drink along with you to enjoy along with the fresh air and conversation.  You can also walk around indoors if you cannot get outside. Take a lap around your office or desk at work, or walk back and forth down your hallway.  If you are at school or work and cannot go outside to take a walk, then you can exercise without attracting too much attention to yourself, such as by fidgeting and clenching various muscles. You can do this at your computer, sitting in front of the tv, or just in your bedroom. If you’re stuck on a plane or train for long periods, try doing leg extensions or arm stretches. If you’re a woman, you can also do Kegel exercises. . At first, it might not make the time go by faster, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to enter a "timeless" state. Your mind is what keeps track of time, and meditating is about clearing your mind.  You can find a guided meditation recording on YouTube to help you if you have never meditated before. You can even meditate while doing active things, such as running. Try choosing a mantra to repeat and focus on as you go about your day. If meditation doesn’t suit your restless mind, try daydreaming instead. Visualize yourself in an exciting place, story, conversation, or anything else that holds your interest. You can also try to breathe deeply. Slow, deep breathing is calming and centering, and might actually get you to enjoy your current situation more than you thought possible. Try breathing in for eight counts, holding your breath, and breathing out for eight more. Repeat until it becomes natural and you can let your mind wander peacefully. . Napping may not seem like an entertaining thing to do, but it can help to pass some time and make you feel more alert when you wake up. Whether you're nodding off during the afternoon slump at the office, working a nightshift or double shift, or fighting drowsiness while driving, a power nap in a safe location can make you more alert and productive. Try taking a quick 20 minute nap to recharge your batteries, or take a longer nap to pass some time. Writing is a great way to sort out your thoughts and it can also help to make the time go faster. Try writing in a journal about whatever is on your mind, or start a blog on something that interest you. You can start a blog for creative writing, video games or whatever interests you!  Set aside a time to write in your journal or blog every day, such as in the morning for 30 minutes or right after school each day. Setting up a blog is easy with sites like Wordpress and Blogger, but it will take up some time so it is a great way to make time go more quickly. You can customize your blog with color schemes, fonts, and images to make it your own.

summary: Take a walk. Meditate Take a nap Write in a journal or start a blog.


Summarize the following:
The grant application can require a large amount of information. On a basic level, you need to make a strong case as to why you are a great candidate for the grant. You’ll explain exactly how you will use the grant dollars, and the results you hope to achieve.  The application will require many of the components of your business plan. You’ll include projected financial statements. Most grant applications will include information about your background. You will document your education and work experience, including any farming experience. The goal is to prove to the grantor that you can use the grant funds to meet the objectives or mission statement of the grantor. A grantor will require periodic financial reports, usually annually. These reports help the grantor monitor how you are using the grant proceeds.  You may be asked to provide annual financial statements for your farm, as well as the farm’s federal tax return. You will provide a balance sheet, which lists the assets and liabilities for your farm. Your income statement shows the revenue and expenses, and your farm’s profit or loss for the year. The farm’s cash flow statement lists the cash inflows and outflows for the year. All grants will require you to complete and submit reports to explain how you use using the grant funds to meet the grantor’s mission. These reports are provided to the grantor at least annually.  Say, for example, that your grant’s purpose is to provide improved housing for farm workers. You will need to document how the grant funds were spent on housing. A grantor is also focused on how their grant dollars are meeting a need over a period of years. If you receive a grant to farm organic crops, for example, your grantor wants to see their grant dollars have an impact over the long-term. Your grant reports should explain that impact. If you use the grant responsibly and generate results, you may be able to apply and receive more grants in the future.

summary: Complete the grant application. Provide annual financial reports. Send in grant reports.


Summarize the following:
Using scissors, just snip the end of the balloon right off. There’s no precise place to make the cut. You just want to make sure that the opening will be large enough to fit over the mouth of your jar. As pressure rises, the pointer will aim higher up. When pressure falls, the pointer will, too. Watch the magic happen, and make marks when you notice that the pointer has changed position.  If you like, you can label the pointer’s initial position “1” and then number each new position in order. This is a great idea if you want to use the barometer for a science project. The barometer works because high air pressure pushes down on the balloon, causing the pointer to move upwards, and vice versa. Make notes about the weather conditions associated with each change in the barometer's position. When the pointer rises in times of high pressure, is the weather cloudy or clear? What about when the pointer drops during low pressure? Low pressure is usually associated with rainy weather. High pressure can mean mild or cooler weather.
summary: Cut the neck off of a balloon. Record changes in the pointer’s position. Interpret the results.
