INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are 3 types of barometers that can be purchased. If you own an antique barometer, then is most likely mercury or aneroid. Aneroid or electronic barometers are more commonly available for purchase. Before purchasing a barometer, check its altitude usage. Not all barometers function properly at high altitudes so buy one that can specifically be used at altitude if you live high above sea level. Here are some brief descriptions of each type of barometer:  Mercury: The mercury barometer, sometimes called a stick barometer, was the first to be invented. It uses an open tube system with a pool of mercury that rises and falls with pressure changes. They only work at an altitude up to 1,000 feet.  Aneroid: The aneroid barometer doesn't use any liquids. It uses a small box made from beryllium and copper that expands or contracts based on pressure changes. These motions cause mechanical hands to move pointing towards the current air pressure. Electronic: Electronic barometers are a little more complicated to understand, but they employ sensors and strain gauges that cause changes in voltage that can be converted to a display of pressure for the user. If using an aneroid barometer, you will need to calibrate it to your location. Listen to a local weather forecast to find the current barometer pressure for your location. Make sure the reading is correct for your location. Even a few miles can affect a barometer reading.  Setting your barometer to your location will take into account differences in pressure caused by the altitude of your location. The factory setting for aneroid barometers is at sea level, but if you don't live at sea level, you will need to calibrate it. Locate the small adjusting screw on the back of your barometer. With a small screwdriver, turn the adjusting screw to move the hand to your location's current pressure. Watch the face of the dial and stop turning the screwdriver when the hand reaches the appropriate reading.  If you are using a mercury barometer, you will have to use a conversion for your readings. Digital barometers have sensors to calibrate altitude automatically. It makes no difference whether the barometer is hung on an inside or an outside wall. The pressure will be the same both indoors and outdoors.  Well-sealed and air-conditioned rooms are not as affected by changes in air pressure, so avoid these rooms if possible. Avoid a location that is exposed to direct sunlight as the temperature changes can affect the readings. Hang the barometer away from drafty locations, like near a door or a window. Air pressure is too variable in these locations. If you suspect inaccurate readings, you can check your barometer with an easy trick. With the barometer hanging on the wall, slowly slide the bottom of it sideways to a 45-degree angle.  If you have a mercury barometer, the mercury should rise to the top of the tube and produce an audible "tick" sound that you may also feel. The tube should fill with mercury. If you have an aneroid barometer, the indicator hand should rotate clockwise around the dial. If your barometer fails this test, you may need to have it professionally serviced and re-set before you can count on its accuracy. However, most barometers can last years with no servicing.

SUMMARY: Buy a barometer. Obtain a local reading of barometric pressure. Set the indicator hand on your barometer. Hang the barometer in a location that works for you. Check occasionally to be sure that your barometer works properly.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Since political leaders have a lot of power to change the system, one of the most effective ways to reduce global warming is to pressure them to do something about it. Start by finding out who represents you at the local, state, and national level. Then, contact them and share your concern about global warming. Ask your representatives to:   Promote mass transportation projects. Help fund alternative energy projects. Support regulation that limits carbon emissions. For example, let your representatives know you support a tax on carbon emissions. Enter agreements with foreign nations to limit carbon emissions, like the Kyoto Protocol. Take initiative and share your concern about global warming with the people around you. Simply by talking about it, or mentioning it, you may inform others about how it could impact their lives or the lives of their children or grandchildren.  Tell people why you do certain things, like adopting a vegan or vegetarian diet. Let people know about things they can do to reduce their carbon footprint – like insulating their home or reducing the amount they drive. Don’t be pushy. If someone doesn’t want to talk about global warming, that’s okay. There is no reason to alienate people who don’t share your perspective. Look around your community for organizations and groups that share your concerns. Chances are, there are many groups around you that work to educate the public and make real change to reduce global warming. Some national and international groups that take action to fight global warming include:  Greenpeace Citizens Climate Lobby The Environmental Defense Fund Green America The Sierra Club Idle No More
Summary: Contact your representatives and urge them to fight global warming. Inform people about the dangers of global warming. Join an advocacy group.

If you are displaying your cake pops on a cake stand or in decorative containers, simply drape a large piece of plastic wrap or wax paper over top, and gently tuck it around the container.  This adds a layer of protection to your cake pops, so you can easily store them at room temperature. This is a great idea if you are getting ready for a party but aren’t quite ready to serve your desserts. In addition, do this after your party to transport your desserts home. Purchase small treat bags, and put your cake pop into the bag cake-side first. Then, tie a ribbon or wrap a twist-tie around the stick about 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) down from the cake.  The treat bag protects your cake pop, so you can store it at room temperature. This makes it easy to serve individual cake pops during parties or weddings, for example. The candy coating on cake pops keeps the cake fresh for up to 1 week if stored at room temperature. Place your wrapped cake pops away from direct or bright sunlight, and ensure they are not disturbed by placing them out of reach.  You can place them on a shelf in your pantry or on a table, for example. Your cake pops will stay fresh at room temperature for 1 week.

One-sentence summary -- Cover cake pops in stands or containers with plastic wrap or wax paper. Put cake pops in their own plastic baggies to serve them individually. Store your cake pops in a cool, dry place.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: After a disagreement, try to end things on a positive note. State the things you appreciate about your boyfriend so you both leave feeling valued. End things by saying something like, "Thank you for listening. I really love you and love spending time with you, which is why I brought it up. I don't want anything to cause resentment." It's normal to feel awkward or uncomfortable after a disagreement. It is not possible to feel comfortable, happy, and resentment free all the time. Allow yourself to feel what you're feeling, even if it's negative, after a disagreement. It's healthier to process your emotions than push them down and ignore them. Even if you feel good about the discussion, you may still need time to let go of any angry feelings you had during your argument. You and your boyfriend can resolve disputes by identifying your goals for the relationship. What do you both want and how can you pursue that?  Think about what you both want. You should find goals you both share. For example, you both may want to work on valuing one another more. Consider how to achieve this. You could, for example, spend more time together, turn your phones off during dates, and find other ways to make one another feel valued. It can feel rough and uncomfortable to have a dispute. However, look at the bright side. You have taken the initiative to work things out. You have both expressed yourselves and your opinions. While things may be stressful now, your relationship may be stronger in the future.

SUMMARY:
State the positives about your relationship. Accept things may be uncomfortable feelings at first. Find common goals. Proceed with optimism.
