In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Almonds are high in calories, so it's recommended you limit your intake to three to four ounces a day. This roughly comes out to around 20 to 23 almonds. You can measure out about 20 almonds and place them in a plastic bag. You can also pick 100-calorie packs of almonds at a local supermarket. Some people prefer soaking their almonds, as this activates some enzymes in the almonds that may make them easier to digest. Place your almonds in a bowl and soak them in water overnight. In the morning, remove them from the water and rinse them. Then, place them on a wet towel for an additional 12 hours. Keep in mind, there is no hard evidence that almonds are inherently more nutritious when soaked. You can still get nutrients from un-soaked almonds. If you want a little extra flavor, purchase flavored almonds in the store. Almonds are often salted, roasted with honey, or coated in spices like cinnamon and cocoa. Make sure to read ingredients labels before purchasing flavored almonds, however. Avoid flavored almonds that are very high in sugar or calories. A high sugar content can take away from the overall health benefits of almonds. Trail mix can make a healthy snack when it's made from ingredients like dried fruit and nuts. You can buy trail mix with almonds mixed in or add your own almonds to trail mix.  Get trail mix without any added sugar. Dried fruit can sometimes have a lot of sugar added unnecessarily. Some trail mixes come with added chocolate. Dark chocolate is the healthiest option, so opt for mixes with dark chocolate.
Summary: Limit your almond intake to about 20 almonds a day. Try soaked almonds. Experiment with flavored almonds. Add almonds to trail mix.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you’re applying to a design program, they should give a good idea of what they want to see in your portfolio. If you’re designing a professional portfolio, you may not have explicit directions. Generally, you should include creative investigation, drawings that show your ability to translate 3D into 2D, color studies, and, if relevant, photos of 3D work that you’ve done. Do tailor your portfolio to the specific application or the type of work that you want to do. You may want to put together more than one portfolio if you’re applying for different positions. Whatever you do, you should probably try to keep different parts of one project together as much as possible. So, for example, if you explored organic structures like feathers and leaves for one project and tribal or folk art for another, try to keep the various parts of those projects together. Ultimately, you need an organizational principle because you'll have to choose how you want to present those projects.  Do you want to tell a story, showing the links between the different angles you have explored? Do you prefer the simplicity of chronological or reverse chronological order? Think about the work that you've done and see if there are any particular connections that you want to highlight. Remember that whatever you come up with, it should be clear to a viewer what you’re trying to communicate. If you're really unsure about this, just stick with something simple, like presenting your most recent work at the front to capture the viewer and then dedicating the rest of the portfolio to showing how you got there. Note that for professional portfolios, you should arrange your work with the most recent pieces first and put older material in the back. As with any project, it's easy to become so enthusiastic about an idea that you don't really plan out how you're going to execute it. Before you know it, you're overwhelmed by everything you didn't plan for. The point of this step is to make sure that you've maximized the presentation of your work and that all the parts will be as clear to an outsider as they are to you.  Don't just think about what your storyline is: assess how each part fits into that story. Play around with different arrangements and think about how each arrangement affects how your works will be perceived. You may create a diagram or an outline to illustrate why you organized your pieces in a certain way. Show or explain your idea to someone who has worked with you throughout your creative development. Ideally, that person should be a mentor, such as a teacher or someone close to you, who has some experience with building portfolios and can provide feedback on how effective your ideas will be.
Summary: Check for instructions or guidance on what to include. Come up with an organizing principle. Write an explanation to show how you want to organize your work.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A respirator will stop you from accidentally inhaling the tanking dust. Make sure to work in a well-ventilated area by opening windows or doors. Wear a pair of thick gloves so that the tank mixture doesn't get stuck to your hands. If the tanking slurry gets onto your clothes, it will be hard to wash off, so wear an outfit that you can get dirty. You can purchase tanking slurry online or from a hardware store. Read the instructions on the bag so that you know the proper ratio of water to tanking dust. Typically, tanking slurry will need to be mixed at a 4:1 ratio. The instructions will tell you how much tanking slurry is required for the space that you want to fill. Measure the appropriate amount of tanking powder and put it into a plastic bin or bucket. Slowly pour water into the bucket while mixing the solution with a mechanical paddle. Continue to stir the mixture until the mixture is smooth and creamy.  If the tanking mixture is too thick, add more water. If the tanking slurry is too thin, mix in more tanking powder.
Summary:
Wear a respirator, gloves, and a set of work clothes. Read the instructions on the tanking material. Pour the tanking powder into a bucket. Mix the tanking powder with water.
