In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Latitude measures how far a point is north or south of the equator. Since the earth is round, distance from the equator is measured in angular degrees with the equator being 0 degrees and the northernmost point -- the North Pole -- being at 90 degrees. The southernmost point -- the South Pole --  is also at 90 degrees. Latitude is measured in degrees north when in the northern hemisphere and degrees south when in the southern hemisphere. Longitude measures how far a point is east or west of the prime meridian -- arbitrarily set as Greenwich, England. Since the Earth is round, distance from the prime meridian is measured in angular degrees with the prime meridian being at 0 degrees longitude.  As you move east or west, the longitude measures up to 180 degrees of the prime meridian.  180 degrees longitude is known as the international dateline.  Longitude is given as degrees east when in the eastern hemisphere and west when in the western hemisphere. Degrees are a large unit of measurement so to get an accurate location, longitude and latitude are divided to the decimal point referred to as decimal degrees. For example, you may see latitude as 35.789 degrees North. Global Position Systems (GPS) often show decimal degrees but printed maps do not. Online topographic maps express longitude and latitude decimal degrees in degrees, minutes and seconds. Each degree equals 60 minutes, while each minute equals 60 seconds. The comparison to time allows for easier subdivision. First, always assume that the top of the map is north.The numbers on the right and left side of a map refer to the latitude. The numbers on the top and bottom of the map are the longitude. Remember how to convert time in order understand a map using decimal degrees as degrees, minutes, and seconds:  15 seconds = one quarter of a minute =  0.25 minutes 30 seconds  =  half a minute = 0.5 minutes 45 seconds = three quarters of a minute = 0.75 minutes
Summary: Understand latitude. Understand longitude. Know the accuracy of your readings. Understand how they appear on a map.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Place your dominant hand a few inches below the head of the crosse, and your off hand a few inches from the bottom of the crosse. The crosse should feel balanced in your hands. The head should be raised slightly above your shoulder, with your off hand keeping the crosse steady. To keep a lacrosse ball in the pocket of the crosse, cradle the lacrosse stick by rocking it back and forth while twisting the head of the crosse with your dominant hand. This is a tricky skill to learn, but if you keep practicing it will eventually become second nature. When you’re just starting out, tracking the fast-moving lacrosse ball can be quite difficult. Try to keep your eyes trained on the ball as your opponents mount their attack, following all the passes that could lead up to a shot. When your opponents shoot the ball, pay close attention to the release point as this will help you determine where the shot is going. As you get more comfortable with watching the ball, you’ll be able to anticipate your opponents’ passes and shots. This will allow you to better position yourself to make a save. Your primary job is to stop the other team from scoring. The best way to do this is by catching the ball in your crosse, but you’ll sometimes only be able to get your body in the way. React quickly to bring the head of your crosse into a position that will intercept the shot.  Pay attention to the attacker’s crosse. When the shot is released, move your top hand towards the ball. This puts the head of the crosse on a path to intercept the ball. To move your body into a good saving position, step towards the shot with the foot nearest the direction the shot came from. This will make it easier to catch the ball, but will also put your body in the way should you miss the catch. If you’re having difficulty with catching the ball, spend some time practicing your technique. Have friend take shots at the goal, or pass a ball back and forth with you. If none of your friends are available you can practice against a wall; pass the ball into the wall and try to catch it on the rebound. Keep your body between the attacker and the goal. Shift your position as the ball moves around the field. Try not to leave the goal exposed or your opponents will take their chances with a shot. To further close down the shooting angle, take a step away from the goal line in the direction of the ball. This makes you appear bigger in relation to the goal and will make it even harder to score against you.
Summary: Practice the proper crosse grip. Watch the ball. Stop the shot. Practice your positioning.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before you attempt to cut your thick toenails, you should soften them by soaking them in warm water for at least 10 minutes. When you’re finished, dry your feet completely, including between your toes. Nail clippers are what we typically associate with trimming nails, but these are usually not strong enough to cut through thick toenails. Use nail nippers instead. Nail nippers have a handle that is longer and easier to grip than regular nail clippers, and they are designed to cut toenails straight across. Small cuts help avoid splintering, which can be a problem with thick nails. As you’re trimming, cut straight across your nail. Don’t round the corners, as this can increase your risk for ingrown toenails. Conditions like diabetes which cause thickened toenails may also cause you to have poor circulation. This can result in reduced sensation in your feet, meaning you might not notice right away if you cut yourself. Untreated cuts can lead to infections and serious health complications, so be sure to pay close attention while you’re trimming your toenails. After you’ve trimmed your toenails, carefully use an emery board or nail file to smooth any sharp edges which might get caught on your socks.
Summary:
Soak your feet for 10 minutes in warm water then dry thoroughly. Trim your toenails using nail nippers. Use small cuts and go straight across the nail. Take care not to cut yourself, especially if you have poor circulation. Gently file the edges of your toenails with an emery board or nail file.
