Q: Go online or call the office of your nearest middle or high school to see when the next band concert, art show, or choir performance is. While going to local events may not provide financial support for the arts, it demonstrates a sense of solidarity and support for young performers. Many people feel that the arts help connect communities. Use a search engine to see what musicals, plays, concerts, or art shows are being hosted at community centers and local theatres near you. Attending different functions makes the performers feel appreciated and supported, and may encourage these artists, musicians, and actors to continue pursuing their passions. Passion for the arts isn’t limited to creative and performing careers. Future Nobel Laureates in the science field are far more likely to be passionate and involved in the arts. Check in with a manager or staff member at your favorite local eatery to see if their business will be hosting any live performances. Live shows help musicians get more recognition. Just as employee recognition causes workers to have a more positive and hardworking attitude on the job, audience support and recognition helps encourage performers to keep pursuing their passions. Check on your TV’s digital channel guide or on the website of your TV provider to see if your cable subscription offers community programming. Local television helps spread awareness of local musicians, artists, and performers, which can increase public support of community arts performances. While local television can be a grab bag of content, there’s a chance that you can support the arts by watching local concerts and other performances from the comfort of your home.
A: Inquire with local schools to see their performance schedules. Check online to find local shows and performances. Support live performances at restaurants and cafes. Check your TV guide for local arts programming.

Article: Instead of giving her something she'll set on her shelf, try giving her something you can go out and do. Whether it's something you both love or something you don't like as much but she does, it will make an unforgettable gift. For instance, try getting tickets to a musical or play. Alternatively, you could buy tickets for a local symphony. For instance, try getting her into a painting class if she's always loved painting. Alternatively, you both could try a beer-brewing class together if she loves beer, which could turn into a life-long passion. Just make sure it's something she's passionate about, which you should know from paying attention to what she says and does. Even a short jaunt to a cabin nearby can be romantic under the right conditions. It doesn't have to be super expensive, as long as you think about what you your girlfriend likes. For instance, if she isn't super outdoorsy, take her for small getaway in a nearby city or quaint small town.  For an even smaller getaway, try staying one night at a fancy hotel in town.  Another option is a "staycation." Basically, you both take a day off from work and make fun plans in the city you live in. For instance, you could make her a picnic and go to a park or go to a concert at the botanical gardens.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Try picking something you can do together. Consider giving her a more long-term experience. Try a small trip.

Problem: Article: Each kind of poker has a winning strategy associated with it. By following these guidelines, you increase your chances of winning. The most popular poker game, “Jacks or Better,” has an easy-to-follow game strategy and a large variety of winning combinations. Different poker games require different strategies. If you choose to play a game such as “Deuces Wild” or “Joker Poker,” learn those strategies before playing. If you’re playing “Jacks or Better” the machine will deal you five cards from a deck of 52 cards. However, other kinds of poker games such as “Deuces Wild” and “Joker Poker” have jokers in the deck. This could lower your chances of getting the cards you want. Therefore, most people prefer to play “Jacks or Better.” Unless you have a high winning combination, choose combinations that are simple: a pair, two pairs, or three of a kind. These hands have smaller payouts but a higher chance of occuring. The payouts for pairs and three of a kinds will be listed on the payout table.  A pair refers to two cards that have the same numerical value, regardless of suit. A low pair can easily convert to a full house or three of a kind if you hold them.   Similarly, the term “three of a kind” refers to three cards that have the same numerical value, regardless of suit. This hand will usually pay out slightly more than a pair would. If you don’t have any pairs, keep any high face cards to increase your chances of getting a royal flush. If you don’t have any high cards or any pairs, discard your entire hand. Your second deal may give you pairs or a straight. Know when to discard cards. Don’t hang on to high cards over pairs. Getting a lot of pairs will help you break even as you gamble.
Summary: Use a strategy to play video poker. Press “deal” to start gambling. Keep pairs when you see them. Increase your chances of getting high winning combinations.

Q: Any of the projects below can be used as fun demonstrations that can be explained by science. If you want to turn them into actual science experiments that test an idea, follow the included advice to try out several versions of them, record your results, and try to figure out how they work. You can find out more about the process in the experiment section below. reate patterns in milk. Pour milk into a bowl. Squeeze a drop each of different colored food coloring onto the milk without stirring. Dip a cotton bud into liquid dishwashing soap, and touch the end of the cotton bud onto the surface of the milk. Watch what happens to the colors. Turn this into an experiment by adding additional soap, one cotton bud at a time. At what point does the color become stable? reate a bouncing egg. Leave an egg in a jar of white vinegar for a full week. Put on gloves before handling it, then remove it and try bouncing it gently outside. To turn this into an experiment, soak a dozen eggs in separate jars of vinegar. Every day, take out one egg and try to bounce it outside. Drop it from one inch high (2.5 cm), then two inches (5 cm), and so on, until the egg breaks. Record how much "bouncier" the eggs get as they are left in vinegar. For another experiment, boil the eggs for different amounts of time before letting them cool and putting them in vinegar. Label each jar with the number of seconds the egg inside was boiled. . Mix salt or sugar into a jar of hot water, then suspend a string in the water by tying it to a pencil resting over the jar. Leave the jar alone for a couple days, and see what happens. To turn this into an experiment, fill several jars, and use a different type of salt or sugar in each. Find out how table salt, sea salt, rock salt, Epsom salts, white sugar, powdered sugar, and brown sugar change the crystal growth pattern. . Mix one spoonful of water into two spoonfuls of corn starch, then try to pick it up with your hands. This bizarre material, named after a Dr. Suess book, doesn't act like a liquid or a solid. Finding out more about these "non-Newtonian fluids" can require advanced math, but you might be able to figure out some of the "rules" that describe how it behaves. . There are countless fun experiments you can do in your house or backyard. Look through wikiHow's Science for Kids category for a ton of ideas. As long as your teacher allows it, you can try some edible experiments, as well! For example, if your parents have a freeze dryer, you can make your own freeze dried or "astronaut" ice cream.
