INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is on the top of the camera, towards the left if the back of the camera is facing towards you.  The flat end of the canister will be pointing upwards. You may find you have to rotate it a little in one direction for the fork attached to it to fully enter the film canister. This is normal. Ensure that the film properly engages the sprockets as marked in the picture.  The shutter might not fire the first time if it's not armed already, of course, in which case just wind the camera on. Don't fire the shutter once the frame counter reads 1; this is the first frame on your roll. The film speed dial is in the same place as the shutter speed dial; it's the silver dial around the outside, which can move independently.To change the film speed, pull the silver ring around the shutter speed dial upwards. While holding it there, rotate the dial until you have set your desired film speed.Notice that the MTL3 has both DIN and ASA settings; modern films typically give their ratings in ASA (which is called ISO on digital cameras). (For example, Fuji Velvia 50 is ASA 50, not 50 ° DIN, the latter being equivalent to an ASA speed in the high five figures.

SUMMARY: Lift the rewind knob. Pull it a little further and the back of the camera will spring open. Drop a 35mm film canister into the chamber on the left hand side. Push the rewind knob all the way down. Pull the film leader away from the canister till the tip is at the green index mark on the right hand side, next to the take-up spool. Close the back of the camera. Press the shutter button, then wind on your film. Repeat the above step until the frame counter reads 1, as pictured. Set the film speed on the film speed dial.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Abstract reasoning test questions generally feature a series of patterns or shapes that are all related. Start each question simply by taking inventory of the building blocks of the pattern. Look for predictable changes from one image to the next, taking note of things like:  The number of shapes The size of the shapes The number of sides each shape has The shading of each shape The orientation of each shape The patterns in an abstract reasoning test are dictated by a set of rules or relationships. Once you’ve taken notice of the shapes within a pattern, start looking for the rules that dictate how these shapes change.  The items that you noted when evaluating the pattern will often relate to the change in the shapes. For example, the pattern may dictate that the biggest shape in an image has two more sides than the previous image. So the first image may show a triangle, while the second will show a pentagon. Depending on the level of test you are taking, the pattern may have more than one rule governing it. Evaluate each part of the pattern carefully to see if there are multiple rules. Always be prepared for the chance that a pattern may have more than one rule. Once you’ve figured out the rule for the pattern, pick the answer that should come next in the pattern sequence. Be sure to look at each answer option carefully, since they are typically designed to look similar. For example, if each shape in a pattern has two more sides than the previous shape, your test may show a triangle, a pentagon, and a septagon. The answer you would choose, then, would be a nonagon, or a polygon with nine sides.

SUMMARY: Evaluate the pattern or shape. Look for the pattern rules or relationships. Choose the answer that should come next in the pattern.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Look at yourself in a mirror and time how long you can maintain eye contact without blinking.  You can also have a staring contest with someone else to test your ability. Having full command over your eye movements will help you maintain steady eye contact with the other person during the hypnosis. Do this by looking at a close object, like a pen or pencil and then a distant object in the room.  Hold the pencil close to your face. Focus on the pencil. Move from focusing on the pencil to an object that is further away, like a picture on the wall or a doorknob. Return to focusing on the pencil. Then focus on the distant object. Continue practicing this to improve your focus flexibility. This is your ability to see objects and movements on either side of you without having to turn your head. To improve this ability:  Sit in a busy scene outside on a sidewalk. Or sit in front of a TV or computer screen that is playing a busy scene. Try to look at the busy scene with your head turned to one side. Then, look at the scene with your head turned to other other side. Try to see as much of the scene as possible on either side. Make sure you practice from the left and from the right.

SUMMARY:
Try to maintain eye contact for long periods of time without blinking. Practice your ability to focus with your eyes. Improve your peripheral awareness.
