INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you think about it, there are both positive and negative things about social media. If social media didn’t have its benefits, you wouldn’t spend so much time with it! To live happily without social media, you’ll have to replace the positive things about it with positive alternatives. Start by making a few lists. What is it that you like about social media? Use concrete examples, like:  “I can keep in touch with my friends who live far away.” “I can find out about things happening in my area.” “I’m reminded of my friends’ birthdays.” Now that you have a list of social media positives, figure out how to accomplish those tasks (or get those feelings) without being tethered to a computer or cell phone. For example:  “I will send letters to and plan to visit my faraway friends.” “I will find events in the newspaper or by asking friends what they are doing.” “I will make a list of birthdays and pin it to my wall.” Now you’ll make a list of concrete things that bother you about social media. Consider things you haven’t done or finished because of the time you spend on social media. Examples:  “I use social media instead of [something you love to do].” “I don’t get enough sleep because of how I use social media.” “I feel insecure when I look at social media.” How will those negative things in your life turn into positives if you leave social media?  “I will have more time to do [something you love to do].” “I will be able to fall asleep earlier if I’m not looking at social media.” “I will feel better about myself if I don’t see things that make me feel insecure on social media.” In addition to getting really good at something, devoting time to a new hobby will help you fill the idle time you once filled with social media. Having a hobby will also boost your creativity and keep your brain sharp. If you’re having trouble thinking of a new hobby, take a look at some of these ideas:  Art: comics illustration, film-making, jewelry-making, making your own clothes, macramé, decoupage, interior design, makeup. Music: analog synthesizers, choir, making guitar pedals, becoming a DJ. Writing: lyric poetry, amateur journalism, short stories, personal memoirs. Exercise: martial arts, swimming, dancing, aerial yoga. Helping others: raising money for a good cause, helping a non-native speaker learn your language, training pets, sharing meals with people experiencing poverty. If part of what you like about social media is how easy it is to meet people, seek a penpal instead. When looking for a penpal, think about things that would keep you interested in writing to someone new. You’ll likely find that getting interesting things in your mailbox is more exciting than any social media notification.  Finding a penpal in another country is a fun way to learn about other places. In addition to writing letters, you can also send and receive mix CDs of your favorite music, artwork, stickers, photos, and books. Because the majority of people get their news on social media, you may be surprised to learn that there are other ways to stay connected to current events. Most areas still print newspapers, most of which you can also find on the web. News radio, podcasts, and television news networks may even expose you to a wider variety of information than what’s supplied by your social networks.

SUMMARY: Take out a sheet of paper and a pen. Write a list of good things about using social media. List ways to do those things without social media. Make a list of the things you don’t like about using social media. List ways to improve the negatives by leaving social media. Throw yourself into a new hobby. Find a penpal. Stay on top of current events.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Rainbow sharks are omnivorous and can and should eat most anything. Sharks will eat any common fish food, including pellets, flakes and algae wafers, as long as it sinks to the bottom of the tank. To give you sharks a brighter coloration, make sure to feed it small crustaceans a few times a week. Feed your shark two to three times daily.  Experiment to determine how much you should feed your fish. A fish should eat its food within approximately five minutes. If anything is remaining after that period of time, you have given your fish too much food. Excess food will ultimately make the tank dirty.  Good crustaceans or insects to feed your fish include brine shrimp, bloodworms, Daphnias, and artemias.  You should also feed your sharks vegetables. Try Zucchini that has been sliced into small bits and boiled. Boiled peas can also be good. Rainbow sharks will eat some raw vegetables, including romaine lettuce, beet tops, and swiss chard. When feeding your fish cooked vegetables, be sure to let them cool before placing them in the aquarium. Clean the tank weekly. When you clean the tank, you do not need to remove all of the substrate (sand or gravel), however, you should use a siphon to suck up the waste that accumulates on the bottom of the tank. Use a scraper to remove algae from the glass. After finishing these tasks, remove and replace 10-15% of the water.  Do not remove fish when changing the water. This will cause unnecessary stress. When replacing the water, put new water into a bucket. Do not use this bucket for any other household tasks (it might accumulate dangerous chemicals). Test and treat the water as discussed previously. Use a siphon to slowly introduce the new water back into the tank. . It is particularly important to watch for signs of illness with fish. That because many fish diseases are highly communicable and will spread rapidly throughout the tank. Many common causes of illness are also the result of bad water conditions and might quickly kill off all of your fish. Things to watch for include:  Scratching against objects in the tank Duller coloration, changes in color pattern, and spotting Gills and fins that have been chewed on Lack of energy Fins tightly held against the body Bloating Gasping for air at the surface of the water Disappearing fin or tail

SUMMARY:
Feed it a diverse diet. .  Watch for signs of illness
