INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The definition states that |p|={pif p≥0−pif p<0{\displaystyle |p|={\begin{cases}p&{\text{if }}p\geq 0\\-p&{\text{if }}p<0\end{cases}}}.This formula tells you that if a number p{\displaystyle p} is positive, the absolute value is simply p{\displaystyle p}. If a number p{\displaystyle p} is negative, then the absolute value is the negative value of −p{\displaystyle -p}. Since two negatives make a positive, the absolute value of −p{\displaystyle -p} is therefore positive. For example, |9| = 9; |-9| = -(-9) = 9. The absolute value of a number represents how far away from 0 the number is on a number line. Absolute value is denoted by bars surrounding the term or terms (|x|{\displaystyle |x|}). The absolute value of a number is always positive. For example, |−3|=3{\displaystyle |-3|=3} and |3|=3{\displaystyle |3|=3}. Both -3 and 3 are three numbers away from 0. The absolute value should be on one side of the equation. Any numbers that are not included inside the absolute value symbols should be moved to the other side of the equation. Note that an absolute value can never equal a negative number, so if, after isolating the absolute value, your absolute value equals a negative number, the equation has no solution. For example, if your equation is |6x−2|+3=7{\displaystyle |6x-2|+3=7}, then subtract three from both sides of the equation to isolate the absolute value:|6x−2|+3=7{\displaystyle |6x-2|+3=7}|6x−2|+3−3=7−3{\displaystyle |6x-2|+3-3=7-3}|6x−2|=4{\displaystyle |6x-2|=4}

SUMMARY: Understand the mathematical definition of absolute value. Understand what an absolute value represents. Isolate the absolute value term(s) in your equation.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Practice on a low beam, or even a line on the floor until you feel confident; falling from a great height can hurt badly. If you're on a high balance beam and feel like you're about to fall, just jump off, it's better to be safe then sorry when you're on a balance beam. Before you get up on a balance beam or tightrope, let your mind flow and concentrate on balancing by repeating "balance" in your head. Good concentration will lead to fewer falls. Always place a mat or something squishy under you, just in case you do fall. Pointing your toes is a wonderful way for you to not fall, because it stiffens your calf muscles as you walk on the beam.
Summary: Start small. Use your arms. Concentrate. Give yourself a soft landing. Point your toes.

This virus is transmitted through mosquitoes and was recently declared as an emerging global health threat.  How the virus affects the body is not fully known, however, chikungunya and dengue have almost identical symptoms and disease processes. Chikungunya infects the muscle cells of the body. From there, it reproduces until the cell dies, and then replicates and finds a new host cell to infect. The incubation period of the chikungunya is 1 to 12 days. Chikungunya usually attacks the muscles, joints, skin, connective tissues, and even the central nervous system. Because chikungunya is a systemic infection, it is usually accompanied by fever and skin rash.  The skin rashes are almost identical to the rashes that are present in a case of dengue and is a result of damage to the blood vessels. Fever occurs as the body raises its temperature in an attempt to kill the infectious agent. As a consequence of the fever, you may suffer from a headache, nausea, and vomiting. Because the virus destroys cells in the muscles and joints, you will experience muscle weakness and joint pain. Joint and muscle pain can be severe and acute. Partial loss of taste is reported by many chikungunya patients. This happens because the virus attacks nerve endings on the tongue and desensitizes the taste buds. Acquiring an accurate diagnosis is very important to get the right treatment.  A virus isolation is the most conclusive exam used to diagnose chikungunya. However, it takes 1 to 2 weeks before it is completed and should be done in a biosafety level 3 lab, which is not available in many developing countries where chikungunya is prevalent. The technique involves acquiring a blood sample from the patient and then introducing the virus to it. The blood sample will then be observed for specific responses.  RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction) makes the genes of chikungunya more pronounced and shows evidence of the disease. The result can be obtained in 1-2 days. An ELISA assay can be used to measure the levels of immunoglobin to identify the chikungunya virus. Results can be obtained within 2-3 days.

One-sentence summary -- Understand what causes chikungunya. Recognize the signs and symptoms of chikungunya. Notice rash and fever. Take note of any muscle or joint pain. Recognize a loss of taste. Get a chikungunya diagnosis.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Aerobic or cardio exercise will help burn calories and support your weight loss.  The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that adults perform up to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio each week, or up to 60 minutes per day 5 days of the week.  Try a variety of exercises like:  walking, jogging/running, biking, using the elliptical, swimming or dancing. In addition to helping support weight loss or a healthy weight, cardiovascular activities have also been shown to help manage diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. In addition to cardiovascular exercise, you should also include a few days of strength or resistance training.  The CDC recommends 2 days of strength training for at least 20 minutes a session.  It's also recommended to do a variety of exercises so that you will work each major muscle group (legs, chest, core, arms, etc).  There are a variety of activities that can count as strength training including:  lifting free weights, using weight machines, yoga and pilates. There are a variety of exercises that have been promoted to help get rid of neck fat; however, most have the opposite effect.  Although you might think that working or strengthening the muscles around your neck could help get rid of fat, these exercises may only bulk up your neck muscles.  Bulky muscles will make your neck look thicker, not smaller. In general, when you lose weight, you will notice a decrease in the amount of fat that you carry around your neck.

SUMMARY:
Perform cardiovascular exercises. Do 2 days of strength training. Avoid neck toning exercises.
