In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A designated stretching area and appropriate clothing will help you get the most out of the exercises.  Have a designated area for stretching that is free of all clutter. If this isn’t possible, clear away any obstructive material (e.g. breakable china ornaments, expensive objects) from the area you will be using.  Wear comfortable clothes (such as a tracksuit or bike shorts over a leotard or tight-fitting crossover).  Pull long hair back into a ponytail or a bun so it isn't distracting. If you have hard floors you may want to use a mat for floor stretches.
Summary: Prepare yourself and your stretching area.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Research suggests that a lack of communication impacts employee morale more than differences in communication style and frequency. It matters less how you do it, so long as you do. The existence of a superior's effective communication with their employees is the single most influential factor in enhancing job satisfaction and group cohesiveness is superior-subordinate communication.  Give clear expectations, by outlining employee roles exactly. Careful consideration should be put into training. Provide your employees with a means to understand where their job begins and ends. Provide a vision. Let your employees see what you're progressing toward. Don't feel you need to know everything. Be forward. Employees can feel lost without feedback, and that can contribute to low morale. If an employee's job security relies on how you perceive them, it can make him very insecure, contributing to low morale.  Instate a regular  performance review process. Coach/mentor your staff by giving them your help and encouraging them. Be available and supportive. Take time to communicate and check in with each person. Celebrate accomplishments. Revisit past progress. Let your employees know you appreciate them by saying it. Ensure they take a 15-minute, paid break during the day. They can get some fresh air or chat on their cell phone in the break room to clear their heads. Standard diffusion of anger techniques can also work, such as walking away and counting to 10, before responding to a co-worker who is aggravating them. Learning how to deal with these situations can lower individual stress and raise morale in the workplace. This can boost performance and increase output. By celebrating attainable goals, or by participating in an office fundraiser for a local charity, you offer employees an intangible benefit: a good feeling. This is called intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation uses the natural good feeling that comes with certain activities as a motivational tool. Many companies ask that their employees get a manager if there is a problem with a customer. By allowing employees to make some decisions, like price adjustments within reason, you empower them and give them a sense of independence. This can, in turn, improve loyalty. “EVPs” are planned, managed efforts that receive funding and personnel from a business to motivate and enable employees to volunteer in their community. By contributing to employee satisfaction, volunteer opportunities have been shown to increase morale, improve employee recruitment and retention rates, enhance productivity, and ultimately positively impact profits.
Summary: Communicate effectively. Tell your employees what you think of them. Explain to your employees how to reduce stress in the workplace during times of duress. Give your employees something to feel good about. Empower your employees. Start an Employee Volunteer Program.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The degree (or “order”) of a polynomial is simply the largest exponent value in the expression. If the degree of your polynomial is 2 (there is no exponent larger than x2), you can find the axis of symmetry using the formula method above. If the degree of the polynomial is higher than 2, use this graphical method. Make two lines in the shape of a plus sign. The horizontal line is your x-axis; the vertical line is your y-axis. Mark both axes with numbers at equal intervals. Spacing should be uniform on both axes. Take your polynomial or function and calculate values of f(x) by putting all values of x into it. You now have pairs of y = f(x) for every x on the axis. For each (x, y) pair, make a point on the graph – vertically on the x-axis and horizontally on the y-axis. Once you have marked all the graph points, you can connect your dots smoothly to reveal a continuous graph of your polynomial. Inspect your graph carefully. Look for a point on the axis such that when a line is passed through it, the graph splits into two equal, mirrored halves. If you can find a point – call it “b” – on the x-axis that splits the graph into two mirrored halves, then that point, b, is your axis of symmetry.
Summary:
Check the degree of your polynomial. Draw the x- and y- axes. Number your graph. Calculate y = f(x) for every x. Make a graph point for each pair. Draw the graph of the polynomial. Look for the axis of symmetry. Note the axis of symmetry.
