Problem: Article: Avoid using “I” statements. These are things like “I don’t like how you did this” or “I feel like you are not trying”. Instead, use actual facts to support the points you are making. Say, “You have not turned in the past three assignments. That demonstrates a lack of commitment to this class.” Leave your personal feelings out of it. Sure, you might feel some negativity towards the other person, or maybe you just don’t click. Don’t let that inform the criticism that you are giving. Instead of saying, “You’re not helping the team” try saying, “It frustrates your colleagues when you fail to show up on time for meetings.” Try to avoid giving vague suggestions for improved performance. Something like, “You need to do better” is not really helpful. Instead, talk about the actual thing that needs improvement.  Make your feedback actionable. Give the other person tangible things that they need to do.  Instead of “You need to help more around the house” try “You need to make your bed and feed the dog every morning before school.” Try to give your feedback when it can still be helpful. If you wait until you are completely dissatisfied, there might not be much time left to salvage the situation. If you notice a problem, address it quickly. If given correctly, your feedback could help the other person improve. Don’t wait until a student has failed your class to give feedback. Instead, discuss ways they can improve throughout the semester.
Summary: Be objective. Focus on the situation instead of the person. Give task specific suggestions. Give timely feedback.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A globe or ball (sphere) can work also, but it's harder to measure.  Circumference | diameter | quotient C / d = ?  __________|________|__________________ __________|________|__________________ __________|________|__________________ __________|________|__________________ Mark the distance one time around it on the string. This is the circumference: it's just like perimeter, but, the perimeter of a circle--the distance around a circle--is called the circumference, not perimeter, usually. Write down your measurement of the circumference using decimals. Pin or tape the ends of the string for measuring it accurately (straight and extended to its full measure), since you would have needed to tighten the string around the circular object, so now you would tighten it lengthwise.  This is the diameter. Note: Multiplying two times radius, i.e.: "2 X radius = diameter" is also written as "2r = d". The four division problems of C / d = _____, should be about 3 or 3.1 (or about 3.14 if your measurements are accurate); so what is pi: It's a number. It's a ratio. It relates diameter to circumference. Of course, using precise measurements using dividers, which are similar to a compass can help. 3.1 + 3.15 + 3.1 + 3.2 =  ____ /4 = ____? That's 12.55 / 4 = 3.1375, and can be rounded-off to 3.14). That's the idea of "pi". The number of diameters that makes the circumference (all the time, so it's constant)... That is the constant "pi". That number of diameters. Also, the radius will fit a little more than 6 (2 times pi) times around a circle, as well as knowing that the diameter goes three times; so, that implies a circumference formula C = 2 X 3.14 X r, which is just = 3.14 X d ... by using 2r is d ("Got it", nod yes. "Yeah!"  But, read and think over it again until it really soaks in, if it's not yet crystal clear). Do this for each of the containers.  The left-over piece of string from each of the circumference strings cut-outs will be approximately the same length.  The measurement length of this short piece of string should be .1415 which is just an example of getting approximately 3.14...

SUMMARY: Number four different sizes of circular containers or lids. Get a non-stretchy, non-kinky string and a meter-stick, yardstick or ruler. Make a chart (or table) like the following one: Measure accurately around each of the four circular items by wrapping a string snugly around it. Straighten and measure the part of the string that you marked as the distance around the circle. Turn the container upside down so you can find and mark the center on the bottom so that you can measure the diameter using decimals (also called decimal-fractions). Measure across each circle exactly through the center of each of the four items with a straight edge measure (meter-stick, yardstick or ruler). Divide each circumference by the same circle's diameter. Average the four answers to the division problem by adding those four quotients and dividing by 4, and that should give a more accurate result (for example, if your four divisions gave you: Finally, take the diameter string and use it to cut its length off the circumference string three times.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you're connecting to the server from other computers on the same network, you'll need to know the server's IP address.  On the Mac running the server, click the Apple menu, select "System Preferences," then select "Network." Select your network connection and look for the "IP Address" entry. Make note of this address. You don't need to forward any ports or change other advanced settings if the other computer is on the same local network as the server computer. If your server computer is powerful enough, you can run Minecraft on it at the same time, but this isn't recommended for most computers. If you want to have your friends join your server over the internet, see the next section. This will begin scanning for available games. There's a good chance that you won't see your server available, even though it is. This will open a window allowing you to enter an address. After entering the address, you will connect directly to it and the game will load. If you cannot connect, make sure both computers are on the same network.  Multiple computers can connect to the same server using this address, as long as they are all on the same local network. If you are playing on the same computer as the server, enter localhost instead of the server IP address.
Summary: Determine the server's local IP address. Open Minecraft on another computer on your network. Select "Multiplayer" on the second computer. Click the "Direct Connect" button. Type in the server's local IP address.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can purchase candy or candle thermometers at a cooking or craft store. If you do not have a candy thermometer, you can also use a meat thermometer. Just remember that wax can be hard to remove.  Paraffin wax should be melted until it reaches between 122 and 140°F (50 and 60°C).  Soy wax should be melted until it reaches between 170 and 180 degrees (76.6 and 82.2°C).  Beeswax should be melted until it reaches roughly 145 degrees (62.7°C). You can go a little bit higher but try not to exceed 175 degrees (79.4°C).  Old candles should be melted at around 185 degrees (85°C). Remove the old wicks with tongs.
Summary:
Use a thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature of the wax.
