Write an article based on this "Focus on four of your nanny's most positive traits. Be personal. Include a story. Highlight special skills and achievements. Explain why the employment ended."
article: As you continue the letter, focus on your nanny's positive traits. Focus on the characteristics that were most important and helpful to you as a parent. You do not want to come off as hyperbolic by listing too many traits. However, not enough can make it look like you don't have much to say. Four is a good middle ground.  List traits in terms of features and benefits. What positive attributes did your nanny have and how did those attributes help you? A prospective employer is interested in how a job candidate could benefit him or her.  For example, don't just say, "Lacey had a lot of patience." Instead, write something like, "Lacey is a tremendously patient person, which was helpful as Charlie has a learning disability. Lacey took the time needed to help Charlie with his homework each night and, as a result, he excelled in school. He earned a B+ in math the semester Lacey worked for us." The trait is Lacey's patience and the benefit is your son's academic success. Many letters of recommendation are somewhat impersonal and removed. However, as a nanny plays the role of a caregiver, your letter should be a little more personalized. Don't be afraid to be somewhat sentimental. Discuss how your nanny made a positive impact on your life. For example, write something like, "Lacey had an immeasurable positive impact on my family's life. During the time she was working with us, my grandmother passed away. Her positive attitude and understanding nature helped me and my family get through a very difficult time." People are naturally drawn to stories. After writing about your nanny's positive traits for a paragraph, it's a good idea to dedicate the next paragraph to a specific, memorable story.  Read over the traits you listed above. Say you claimed your nanny was very hardworking. Can you think of a time she used this trait to help you as a parent? Is there a story you can tell to illustrate this strength? For example, say your daughter wanted to act in a pageant for school. You had volunteered to make costumes for some of the other children, but had an unexpected obligation come up at work. Your nanny stayed late on a Friday night to help you finish all the costumes you had put off, making jokes and maintaining a positive attitude to keep you calm. This would be a great anecdote to include in order to illustrate your nanny's work ethic. Any special skills or impressive achievements should be listed here. This can help set your nanny apart from the bunch during the application process.  Achievements should showcase how your nanny went above and beyond the call of duty. Focus on achievements relevant to the job. It may impress you to know your nanny was an honors student at Brown, but it may not be important to someone looking for someone to watch their kids. Talk about achievements that occurred while your nanny was working with you. For example, something like, "Lacey helped Olivia memorize a William Blake poem for a school contest. She stayed after hours each night to help. Due to Lacey's dedication, Olivia came in second place."  Any special skills also warrant mentioning. Maybe your nanny is a highly skilled chef. Maybe she's good at arts and crafts. Any skills that would prove useful to a parent should be listed. Stay away from jargon, however. For example, if your kids have special dietary needs that your nanny had to keep track of, avoid listing any medications or medical terms. The person reading the letter does not need to know this. He or she only needs to know that your nanny was able to keep track of your kid's diet. It's a good idea to explain why the employment ended. This can help show the potential employer things ended on good terms. It's also an opportunity to express regret at losing your beloved nanny. For example, try something like, "When Lacey moved out of the suburbs and into the city, the weekly commute became too difficult. She decided to seek work closer to her new apartment. While she is very much missed at our home, I am happy that she is moving forward with her life. She would be a valuable attribute to any family."

Write an article based on this "Make up new words. Speak with strange accents. Interject a half-thought into a conversation. Talk to yourself and inanimate objects. Make up nicknames for all your friends."
article: Ninjas have ninjosity and ninjitude, for example. Use these words constantly, just like they’re real words. If someone tells you something is not a word, tell them it is now! Explain philosophically why. Can't come up with something? Take a couple of your favorite words and mash them together. Your favorite words are bubble and flamingo? Bubbingo, it is. Now what's a bubbingo? One day you fancy yourself Irish, one day you're French, and the next day you're Chinese. Why not? You could even invent your own accent if you'd like. Perhaps it's the accent of that made-up place you go to? Or try to talk in a really deep voice, or a really high one.   wikiHow has a great article on speaking gibberish. That's a way of speaking your own language that is very easy to learn. If your friends learn it too, you could be "weird" together! Wildly fluctuate the tone and pitch of your voice at different times, too. Whisper when you don’t need to, sing your words, or talk very, very, very slowly whenever you feel like it. But be warned, this can really get on some people’s nerves! For best results make sure your half-thought has nothing to do with the conversation. Is everyone talking about that new song on the radio? All of a sudden, you come in with, “Oh, man. Blueberries. They’re just so…” Or, interject and say the name of a random type of food. This is a good way to stop a conversation and get another one started. The current topic boring you? Say, "Did you see that TV show?" and your friends might be too distracted to go back to what they were originally thinking about. Don't do it all the time (otherwise you'll just look schizophrenic) – just if someone around is ignoring you. That’ll get them to pay attention to you for sure! A lull in the conversation? Friends boring you? Why not strike up a conversation with your notebook or your food? You could be the life of the party in no time! Weird, but the life of the party nonetheless. Use a different one every day. They don't have to be good! Take aspects of their personality or their look (without being mean of course) and think about what fits them.  Or what doesn't fit them! Some nicknames are funny because they are so unfitting. Have a friend who's way taller than you? He's "short stuff" for today. A friend who loves puppies? Call her "cheese puffs" – it doesn't have to do with anything! Change the words in their name. For example: Paige can turn into Peige. Do this only if your friends are okay with it. Bear in mind that this may not work as well in Australia, where redheads are often nicknamed 'Bluey.'

Write an article based on this "Learn the shortcut for derivatives of any radical function. Find the derivative of the radicand. Write the derivative of the radicand as the numerator of a fraction. Write the denominator as double the original square root. Combine numerator and denominator to find the derivative."
article:
Whenever you wish to find the derivative of the square root of a variable or a function, you can apply a simple pattern. The derivative will always be the derivative of the radicand, divided by double the original square root. Symbolically, this can be shown as: If f(x)=u{\displaystyle f(x)={\sqrt {u}}}, then f′(x)=u′2u{\displaystyle f^{\prime }(x)={\frac {u^{\prime }}{2{\sqrt {u}}}}} The radicand is the term or function underneath the square root sign. To apply this shortcut, find the derivative of the radicand alone. Consider the following examples:  In the function 5x+2{\displaystyle {\sqrt {5x+2}}}, the radicand is (5x+2){\displaystyle (5x+2)}. Its derivative is 5{\displaystyle 5}. In the function 3x4{\displaystyle {\sqrt {3x^{4}}}}, the radicand is 3x4{\displaystyle 3x^{4}}. Its derivative is 12x3{\displaystyle 12x^{3}}. In the function sin(x){\displaystyle {\sqrt {sin(x)}}}, the radicand is sin⁡(x){\displaystyle \sin(x)}. Its derivative is cos⁡(x){\displaystyle \cos(x)}. The derivative of a radical function will involve a fraction. The numerator of this fraction is the derivative of the radicand. Thus, for the sample functions above, the first part of the derivative will be as follows:  If f(x)=5x+2{\displaystyle f(x)={\sqrt {5x+2}}}, then f′(x)=5denom{\displaystyle f^{\prime }(x)={\frac {5}{\text{denom}}}}  If f(x)=3x4{\displaystyle f(x)={\sqrt {3x^{4}}}}, then f′(x)=12x3denom{\displaystyle f^{\prime }(x)={\frac {12x^{3}}{\text{denom}}}}  If f(x)=sin⁡(x){\displaystyle f(x)={\sqrt {\sin(x)}}}, then f′(x)=cos⁡(x)denom{\displaystyle f^{\prime }(x)={\frac {\cos(x)}{\text{denom}}}} Using this shortcut, the denominator will be two times the original square root function. Thus, for the three sample functions above, the denominators of the derivatives will be:  For f(x)=5x+2{\displaystyle f(x)={\sqrt {5x+2}}}, then f′(x)=num25x+2{\displaystyle f^{\prime }(x)={\frac {\text{num}}{2{\sqrt {5x+2}}}}}  If f(x)=3x4{\displaystyle f(x)={\sqrt {3x^{4}}}}, then f′(x)=num23x4{\displaystyle f^{\prime }(x)={\frac {\text{num}}{2{\sqrt {3x^{4}}}}}}  If f(x)=sin⁡(x){\displaystyle f(x)={\sqrt {\sin(x)}}}, then f′(x)=num2sin⁡(x){\displaystyle f^{\prime }(x)={\frac {\text{num}}{2{\sqrt {\sin(x)}}}}} Put the two halves of the fraction together, and the result will be the derivative of the original function.  For f(x)=5x+2{\displaystyle f(x)={\sqrt {5x+2}}}, then f′(x)=525x+2{\displaystyle f^{\prime }(x)={\frac {5}{2{\sqrt {5x+2}}}}}  If f(x)=3x4{\displaystyle f(x)={\sqrt {3x^{4}}}}, then f′(x)=12x323x4{\displaystyle f^{\prime }(x)={\frac {12x^{3}}{2{\sqrt {3x^{4}}}}}}  If f(x)=sin⁡(x){\displaystyle f(x)={\sqrt {\sin(x)}}}, then f′(x)=cos⁡(x)2sin⁡(x){\displaystyle f^{\prime }(x)={\frac {\cos(x)}{2{\sqrt {\sin(x)}}}}}
