Article: This trick employs an oversized novelty coin. You will make it appear that the coin is levitating within the space made between your hands when the hands are loosely cupped together. This trick is harder to pull off when close to your audience as you will be touching the coin at all times.  The size of the coin is important, as it must be sufficiently large to still be visible behind the fingers. To perform the effect, pick up the coin with either hand. Bring the other hand to the coin and hold it with both hands, thumbs facing you. Make sure the pads of your thumbs are resting on the left and right edges of the coin.  Your thumbs should be pressing inwards against the coin, holding it up. Your fingers should be curled, with the fingertips merely resting lightly against the front of the coin. Make sure that only your thumbs are actually holding the coin up. You can help the illusion by extending your arms slightly and then pulling back toward you. The constant movement will help to distract the audience.  Slowly straighten your fingers. Extend your fingers toward each other. The right and left fingertips should be about 1 inch (2.54 cm) away from each other. Keep your fingers as close together as possible. You want to use your fingers as a sort of barrier so that the spectator can't see your thumbs holding the coin. As you straighten your fingers, also move your thumbs up and down in very small movements. It will appear as though the coin is hovering in the air between your fingers. This might take some time to make look as real as possible.  Once you have the handling of the coin down, observe yourself performing it in front of a mirror. Check to make sure that you're considering the spectator's perspective. Ensure that the coin can be properly seen. Also, practice it under the conditions that you will display it. If you plan to sit at a table, practice it at a table as you will be closer to your audience. Practice holding the coin with the pads of your thumbs so that it doesn’t look quite like you’re holding the coin in between each one. See if you can get the coin to spin or rotate without dropping it to enhance the illusion. This will take some practice. Use your fingers to block the view of your thumbs.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Grab a novelty sized coin. Place your thumbs and fingers at the edges of the coin. Extend your arms. Practice the levitating coin effect until you can achieve it without fumbling.
Article: If you see just 1 stink bug, it may indicate a larger issue. Look around for warm pockets near heating vents or sunny spots along your walls and windows. Keep your eyes peeled for their brown, gray, or green bodies that may blend into the surrounding area. If you have an outdoor infestation, look on the underside of leaves for eggs and keep an eye out for discolored leaves.  If you haven’t crushed any stink bugs but start to notice a cilantro-like odor in your home, chances are you have an infestation. Suck the stink bugs up using a vacuum cleaner with a bag. For stink bugs sitting on walls or in crevices, use a small vacuum attachment to capture them. Discard the bag immediately to keep the smell out of your home.   Alternatively, you can wrap a stocking around the vacuum attachment tube to catch the bugs before they reach the bag or filter. Secure the stocking with a rubber band and push it inside the tube. Once you’ve sucked up the bugs, pull out the stocking, tie off the end, and dispose of it immediately. Refrain from using a bagless vacuum as it may smell foul for several weeks. Make sure you use a vacuum cleaner with a disposable bag. Once you spot stink bugs on your plants, use a high-pressure jet setting on a garden hose attachment to detach them from the leaves. Once you’ve forced them away, keep monitoring the plants in your garden to see if the stink bugs reappear. The water pressure won’t necessarily kill them off, but this is a good tactic to use to protect your plants at a moment’s notice. Instead of spraying a solution onto the bugs, mix up a solution of 4 cups (950 mL) of hot water with 3⁄4 cup (180 mL) of mild dish soap in a bucket. Hold this beneath the climbing stink bugs and flick them down into the solution using a gloved hand. After a few hours, drain out the water, bag up the dead bugs, and dispose of them immediately.  The soap will make it difficult for the insects to move, and they will ultimately drown in the water. As far as stink bug elimination methods go, this is probably the closest to an odorless option since the bugs will be killed relatively quickly. If you spot a single stink bug scuttling around your property, use a rolled up magazine or another firm but disposable object to squash it. Scoop up the remains with a piece of paper towel and then bag up and dispose of the crushing tool and debris. The nasty smell may keep other stink bugs away.  Refrain from stepping on stink bugs with your shoes as you’ll track the scent into your home. Avoid squishing stink bugs indoors at all costs! You’ll only end up with a lingering foul smell and a messy clean-up process.

Look around to find where the stink bugs are located. Vacuum up a stink bug to kill and remove it. Knock stink bugs off plants by spraying them with a garden hose. Flick the stink bugs into a bucket of soapy water to catch and kill them. Crush a stink bug with a disposable item if you find it outside.
Article: You can time your ovulation in many ways. The most accurate method is to use an ovulation predictor kit (OPK). If you have a regular menstrual cycle, you can also predict the date range of ovulation by counting back 12-16 days from the date your last period started, though the prediction might not be entirely accurate.  Keeping track of ovulation can also increase your likelihood of conceiving at all (regardless of sex) because women are usually the most fertile in the few days prior to ovulation.  Other signs of ovulation include abdominal pain, changes in vaginal fluids, and changes in basal body temperature.  Consider tracking your cycle carefully on a calendar in order to understand how your body responds to ovulation. Female sperm carry more genetic material, making them heavier and slower than male sperm. Having sex at least two days before ovulation gives the slower female sperm more time to move up the uterine canal before the egg arrives. This is known as the "Shettles Method." There is an alternate theory known as the "Whelan Method" that suggests that sex should take place 2-3 days prior to ovulation to conceive a girl and 4-6 days before ovulation to conceive a boy.

Track your ovulation cycle. Have sex 2-4 days before ovulation to conceive a girl.
