Problem: Article: Put the tray in a dark corner of a shed, closet, basement, or other suitable area. The dark room should be kept between 50 to 70 °F (10 to 21 °C). Because you’re working indoors, the temperature most likely won’t need to be adjusted. For the mushrooms to grow, the temperature needs to be no higher than 70 °F (21 °C) in the daytime and no lower than 50 °F (10 °C) at night. If the temperature goes beyond this, you may need to move the bed to a safer location, such as in shade or indoors.  A dark area, such as in the shade of a tree, also helps, but it’s most important to get the temperature right. You can monitor the soil by placing a soil thermometer in the bed. Mushrooms do well in water, so rain falling on your planting bed is okay. Mushroom spores can be purchased online and may also be found at some gardening stores. Once you have them, put on a pair of rubber gloves. Sprinkle the spores onto the compost, then gently mix them in about 1 in (2.5 cm). Press down on the compost when you’re finished. First, remove the plastic and cardboard if you used it to sterilize the soil. Get some peat moss from a garden center or home improvement store. Spread a 1 in (2.5 cm) layer over the compost. Then spread a single layer of newspaper over the peat moss. Use a spray bottle at least once a day to keep the newspaper wet. If it looks dry, spray it to keep up the humidity level in the bed. Mushrooms thrive in damp environments, so it’s unlikely that you’ll supply too much water by misting. If you’re growing outdoors, increase misting to twice a day to ensure the bed doesn’t dry out.
Summary: Place the bed in a dark room to grow portobellos indoors. Move the bed to a climate-controlled area for outdoors growing. Mix the mushroom spores into the compost. Cover the compost with peat moss and newspaper. Mist the newspaper daily to keep it moist.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you even get on the machine you should have an idea of what you want to accomplish for that day. Just hopping on the elliptical and moving is not the most effective or efficient way to workout. Make sure you have an idea of the time you plan to spend on the machine and the level of workout you intend to get. Most ellipticals will have a digital monitor. Before you start your workout, locate the incline buttons and figure out how to adjust the resistance.  Some ellipticals have a sticker or other label on them with instructions about how to get the machine started. Each machine is a little different so take the time to get comfortable using the console before starting your workout. If you are at the gym they may have their own instructions posted with additional information. You can also ask one of the trainers to help you get set up. Most elliptical machines will allow you to put in your weight and age. This way the machine can help you track how many calories you’ve burned during your workout.  The handles on some elliptical machines will have sensors on them that can monitor your heart rate as well. Some machines will allow you to plan a workout by adding some additional info including how many calories you want to burn, how long you would like to workout, or what intensity level you are aiming for. For a moderate workout, your heart rate should be 50 to 70 percent of your maximum heart rate. For a vigorous workout you’re aiming more for 70 to 85 percent. To calculate your max heart rate subtract your age from 220. If you are 31 you max heart rate is 189. Changing the incline angle of the machine can have a great effect on the intensity of your workout. Keeping the machine at low incline will give you a workout more akin to cross country skiing. A medium incline is more like a bike or spin class, and a high incline will be more like climbing stairs. You can adjust the settings throughout to give your workout variety and help you focus on different muscles.

SUMMARY: Set a goal for your time on the elliptical. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the console. Program in your weight and age. Get comfortable adjusting the incline level.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In order to begin to solve an argument, you first need to understand what happened and develop some hypotheses about why it happened. This is crucial because you cannot solve a problem if you don’t know what the problem is! Having a plan is one way to approach the situation with a clear head to reduce more arguments.   Begin by looking at what happened from your perspective and thinking rationally about it. Use both your rational mind and your emotional mind, but try to look at the situation objectively. Let’s say you found out that your friend was talking negatively about you behind your back. Think about all of the specifics of the situation. How did you find out? What did the person say? How did you handle it? In order to analyze the issue, it can be helpful to identify what led to the issue and what happened afterwards. Identify the Antecedent (what happened before the conflict), Behavior (what you did) and Consequence (what happened as a result of the behavior). Let’s imagine that the conflict began by you finding out that your friend is talking behind your back (antecedent), and then you confronted your friend which turned into a verbal argument (behavior). Next, you and your friend stopped talking to each other for a week (consequence). Know that some arguments are okay; not all arguments are bad. It is okay to disagree with your friends sometimes, and argue or debate about a topic. It is how you go about arguing that is important; each person needs to be respectful and neither should be aggressive. Try to analyze your own behaviors and thoughts about the situation. Think about the possibility of looking at the situation differently and taking on another perspective. This can help you gain clarity about the conflict and understand how you can attempt to solve it. For example, you could commit to your friend that you will do something better the next time a similar situation occurs.   One way of doing things differently is thinking differently. For example, if someone told you your friends was talking negatively about you, is it possible that this isn’t true? Another way of doings things differently is changing your actions. If you confronted your friend about what you heard, can you identify a better way you could have approached the situation? Were you really mad when you tried to resolve the conflict? Did you say something you regret? Analyze how your friend responded to the argument. This can help you to gather your thoughts so that when you talk to your friend about the situation you can be specific about what you’d like her to change.   Gather some ideas about what hurt your feelings or made the situation more difficult for you. For example, perhaps your friend called you a bad name and cursed at you, and this made you feel sad and angry. Identify specifically what your friend could have done differently. For example, if your friend cursed at you, perhaps she could have lowered her voice, spoken calmly, and used words that were not hurtful or aggressive.
Summary:
Admit what went wrong. Commit to change your actions. Plan to express what made you upset.
