INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Once the butter has completely melted, it will begin to bubble and foam. This is when the water evaporates and the milk solids separate from the butterfat. Then, the foaming will subside and little brown specks will begin to appear.  These specks are the milk solids starting to brown. If at any point the browning butter starts to have black flecks in it, turn down the heat. Once the milk solids start to brown, you will begin to notice a wonderful hazelnut-scented aroma filling your kitchen. This is a good sign! It means that the butter is browning correctly, and hasn't begun to burn. In fact, the French term for brown butter is “beurre noisette,” which translates as “hazelnut butter.”

SUMMARY: Watch the color of the butter and foam for brown flecks. Smell the cooking butter for a nutty aroma to get a sense of its progress.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While you are practicing the spin, keep a positive attitude. Michael Jackson most likely put a lot of work into perfecting his spin. He also had the help of choreographers and an optimal setting. Keep this in mind if you grow frustrated with spinning during the learning and practicing process. Once you have learned the spin, maintain a confident attitude and look on your face to pull of the Michael Jackson persona. Work on a single spin at first. Practice and carry out the single spin until you are confident you have perfected it. Try two spins when you are bored with a single spin. You can achieve multiple spins by increasing the force of the kick and tightening your abdominal muscles as you turn. A smooth floor and smooth shoe soles helps you achieve the multiple spins. You can dress up like Michael Jackson while you’re practicing to achieve the right mindset, or you can dress up like him to show off your newly learned move. Michael Jackson had a lot of looks, but choose a look that would be highly recognizable. Wear a white button-up shirt, black pants (as tight or loose as you’re comfortable with), and a black blazer. Wear black dress shoes that you have practiced spinning in. To finish the look, wear one, glittery or sequined glove on your right hand. A white or silver glove is ideal.

SUMMARY: Have a good attitude. Work on multiple spins. Dress up like Michael Jackson.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you start to get the feeling someone is becoming more of a roommate and less of a visitor, set some ground rules as soon as possible. This gives you something to stand on when you eventually need to kick them out -- you can point back to the concrete rules laid down earlier instead of getting emotional.  Set your expectations within the first week. Do they need to pay rent? Do they have to be pursuing job interviews? Have clear benchmarks for them to meet if they want to stay in the house. A written and signed informal contract is the best way to set the rules and guidelines and what each of you expects. It's even better to have the document notarized. Most banks offer free notaries to those who bank there. Before formally asking them to leave, sit down and ask when they plan on moving out. Put the ball in their court, which makes it easier to stick to this move-out date as it approaches. If they don't have a timeline in mind, you should make one together. Come up with something concrete, such as "when they get a job," or "after 6 months."  If they need a job, work together to come up with specific goals to reach for -- applying to one job a day, rewriting their resume, etc. Make sure they are actually trying to get a job and not just enjoying the free bed. If your friend or relative is breaking the rules, being disrespectful, or going back on their promises to you, write down the incident along with the date and time in a small notebook. Again, this gives you specifics to bring up when you talk to them about leaving, instead of vague generalities or emotional appeals. Keep this as impersonal as possible. Asking them to leave doesn't have to ruin a friendship, especially if you base your reasons in facts instead of feelings. Some people will get out on their own with a bit of careful nudging. Read over their resumes and cover letters as they apply to jobs, visit open houses with them, and encourage them to spread out and become independent. If you can help someone become self-sufficient, they may leave without causing a conflict.  Review their goals and promises together regularly, working together to make them a reality. If you can help finance their new move, this may be all they need to get going.

SUMMARY: Set your rules and boundaries early on. Make a timeline for their departure. Make notes of issues and problems as they arise. Help them get back on their feet.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Your feet should be planted immediately before your jump. Keep the rest of your body relaxed. Be careful that your knees don't point inwards in a "knock knee" or Valgus position. They should be positioned over the second toe. Let your arms hang loosely at your sides while you crouch into the half-squat. They'll provide a lot of momentum when you jump, so don't keep them in front of you or above you before you jump. You don't need to spend lots of time meditating on your jumps before doing them, but it helps to visualize the steps you'll take. Visualize the push-off and see yourself leaping in the air toward (or over) your target. You'll be focused on the series of steps and tasks you're about to complete, ensuring a successful jump. As soon as you've crouched into a half-squat, immediately spring up into a high jump. Push off from the balls of your feet. Extend your hips, knees, and ankles as far and as quickly as you can. Gradually bring your arms behind your back while keeping them at your sides. When you start to jump up, powerfully swing your arms forward and up into the air. This should help propel you up and provide momentum. Exhale when you're doing the motion, like when you lift weights. Land on the balls of your feet rather than on your toes. Make sure to land with your knees bent and slightly aligned forward. Both of your legs should equally accept the weight of your landing. This will absorb the shock of hitting the ground and prevent knee injury.

SUMMARY:
Position your foot. Pay attention to your arms. Visualize your jumps. Spring upward into a jump. Swing your arms while you jump. Control your landing.
