Problem: Article: For whatever number you are observing, the characteristic is the part that comes before the decimal point; the mantissa is the part that comes after the decimal point. As an example, say you need to find the antilog for 2.6452. The characteristic is 2, and the mantissa is 6452. The mathematical log operator has a parameter known as the base. For numerical computations, the base is always 10. Know, therefore, that when you use this method for calculating an antilog, you will always use a base of 10. By definition, the antilog of any given number x is the basex. Recall that the base for your antilog is always 10; x is the number with which you are working. If the mantissa of the number is 0 (in other words, if the number under observation is a whole number, with no decimal point), the computation is easy: simply multiply 10 times 10 that number of times. If the number is not an even whole, use a computer or calculate to compute 10x. In the example above, we do not have a whole number. The antilog is 10^2.6452, which, using a calculator, comes to 441.7.
Summary: Consider your number and its parts. Know the base. Calculate the 10x.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you’re always streaming at different hours and on random days of the week, people won’t know when to watch you, which means your viewership will be low. With a regular schedule, both old and new audience members will know exactly when you’ll be on, meaning more people will tune in at once for your streams.  For example, you could make it a goal to stream every weeknight at 8:00 PM. Once you choose a schedule, post it somewhere on your social media accounts so viewers can find it. Don’t forget to include your timezone — potential viewers live all around the world. The more you stream, the more chances there are for viewers to find you. The more viewers that find you, the more likely you are to get new subscribers!  If you’re currently streaming 4 days out of the week, go up to 5 or 6 days and see if that helps you build your audience. Don’t feel like you need to stream every day of the week — taking a day or 2 off will prevent you from getting burned out. Your brand can be something simple, like a funny mascot or a catchphrase you always say during your stream. It doesn’t need to be complex, just recognizable. Viewers will be more likely to come back if you give them something familiar that they can look forward to when they watch your stream.  For example, you could always tell jokes about the game you're streaming. Eventually, people will tune into your channel when they're looking to laugh. Humor will be part of your brand. Include your brand in your social media accounts. For example, if your pet lizard is your stream’s official mascot, put up pictures of it on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Offer viewers a chance to win some money or a gift card in return for subscribing to your stream or sharing your stream on social media. There are lots of different Twitch bots you can use to help you set up and run giveaways.  For example, you could give away a new game that just came out to a random subscriber. You could also host a cash giveaway where people can earn extra entries in the giveaway by sharing your stream on social media. to attract more viewers. A themed-stream is a special stream that's based on a fun concept or theme. Themed-streams will encourage viewers to tune in, and they can make your stream more memorable.  For example, you could host a themed-stream where you stream for 24 hours straight without stopping. You could try a themed-stream where you stream yourself teaching someone how to play video games that has never played before.

SUMMARY: Stick to a regular streaming schedule so viewers know when to tune in. Stream as much as possible to increase your exposure to viewers. Brand yourself so your stream is more memorable. Host giveaways on your stream to encourage new subscribers. Try hosting themed-streams

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once the stems of flowers have been cut, you have removed their life support system.  Remove the wrapping paper, as paper can bruise the flowers and cellophane can cause them to sweat. When cut flowers have been left out of water for any length of time, cells start to form over the cut ends of the stems, which will prevent the stems taking up water readily. To remove this sealed portion, snip off about 2.5cm (1") from the stem ends and then place in water preferably with preservative added, and allow the flowers to have a long drink before arranging. Warm water should be used as flowers take up warm water more readily than cold.  Flowers only drink through the ends of the stems and not through the sides of the stems, and for this reason buckets should not be filled right up to the top with water, as foliage left on stems below the water line will rot and pollute the water. This will feed bacteria and the flowers will die more quickly. The foliage of Marigolds, Chrysanthemums, Stock and Daisies send off a particularly strong odor when left standing under water over a period of time. Use a sharp pair of secateurs and cut the flower stems on an angle - a slanted cut allows a better intake of water. Remove all foliage from the lower portion of the stems which would stand under the water line. Place the flowers immediately in the water. Allow enough air to circulate between each flower. Too many flowers crowded together in a bucket may cause the petals to become squashed and bruised. Place the bucket in a cool dark place and allow the flowers to have a long drink before being arranged. When picking short-stemmed flowers, use a smaller container. This step is called conditioning. It allows the stems to fill up with water and the flowers will become crisp. These flowers will last twice as long as those that have not been conditioned properly. Flower preservatives  are available in garden centers or supermarkets. Another alternative is to use a cap-full of household bleach in the water. If a preservative is not used, the water needs to be changed and the stems cut on an angle daily. If a preservative is used, the stems do not require re-cutting and water needs changing only about twice a week. Flowers, like Freesias, Spray Carnations and Liliums, have lots of buds. By using a preservative in the water, it helps develop the buds to open.
Summary:
Place flowers in warm water as soon as possible. Fill a plastic bucket, one-third to one-half full, with warm water. Take the bucket of water into the garden with you. Avoid overcrowding flowers. Allow flowers to have a good drink for four to five hours, preferably overnight before arranging. Use a flower preservative to destroy bacteria in the water.
