Problem: Article: Cut a hole through one of the eyes or indentations of the coconut.  A power hand drill is one of the easiest ways to cut a hole into the coconut, but if you do not have one, you could also use a corkscrew, screwdriver, or metallic skewer, instead. Worst case scenario, you can use a hammer and a nail. Pound the nail into the coconut using the hammer. Then, using the back end of the hammer to lift the nail back out, creating a hole. Create your hole in one of the three "eyes" of the coconut. These spots are the thinnest spot on the outer shell and the easiest to drill through. It may help to hold the coconut on a non-slip surface, like a cutting board or kitchen towel, to prevent it from slipping around as you attempt to drill through it. Tip the coconut upside-down so that the liquid in the center drains out. Coconut water can be used for cooking purposes or served with ice as a beverage, but if you have no plans for the coconut water, simply discard it by pouring the water down the drain. Place the coconut in a large plastic bag or wrap it securely in a kitchen towel. Strike the coconut through the bag or towel using a wooden rolling pin or hammer until it breaks in two.  For best results, place the coconut on a cement floor, sidewalk, or other equally hard surface. Do not use a kitchen counter since you may accidentally damage the counter as you strike the coconut. Use as much force as possible to strike the coconut in the direct middle. Some will open quickly, while others may take more effort. You could also open the coconut by striking its center on a sharp rock or by sawing it in half with a hand saw. If using a saw, saw down the center seam that passes in between the eyes of the coconut. Use a standard butter knife or small paring knife to cut the white meat away from the hard outer shell.  Cut through the meat by making a cut from the inside all the way through to the shell. Use your fingers or the tip of the knife to pry the meat off the shell in chunks. To make the process easier, cut the meat into v-shaped sections or cross-hatched sections, creating pieces inside the shell that can be readily removed.  You might be able to wedge a metal spoon or dull knife in between the meat and the shell without making any slices through the center of the meat. If you can, try lifting the meat away from the shell after wedging the utensil in the gap. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the thin layer of brown skin on the outside of the white coconut meat. If you successfully removed all of the flesh from the shell, there will be a brown skin on the portion of the flesh that touched the shell. This part needs to be removed before you can prepare the coconut for flour or any other use.
Summary: Drill a hole into the coconut. Drain the coconut water. Break the coconut open. Cut out the coconut flesh. Peel off the brown skin.

Problem: Article: Put 9 ounces (250 grams) of fresh raspberries into a food processor and add 2 tablespoons of confectioners'/icing sugar. Blend until completely smooth. Save the rest of the raspberries for later.  If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender instead. If you don't have a lot of time to make this, you can use store bought strawberry syrup instead. Scrape the pulp against the mesh with a metal spoon so that you don't waste any purée. Set the purée aside and discard the seeds caught in the sieve. If you have not already, peel the mango, then cut it in half and remove the pit. Chop it up into small cubes, and distribute the cubes amongst six tall glasses. Use sundae glasses for that final, special touch. Repeat these layers one more time until you have used up all of the ingredients. If you can't find any blueberries or raspberries, you can also use fresh, chopped strawberries instead. Another take on this traditional dish is to top it off with a swirl of whipped cream, sprinkles, and a triangle ice cream wafer.
Summary: Prepare the raspberry purée. Pour the raspberry purée through a sieve into a bowl or cup. Distribute the diced mango between six tall glasses. Layer half of the blueberries, ice cream, raspberry purée, and whole raspberries into each cup. Top the knickerbocker glory with chopped pistachios.

Problem: Article: Some exercise is much better than none: Short sessions of exercise can improve increased burning (metabolizing) of blood sugar for up to 72 hours. diabetics, and other energy creation and usage problems, circulatory, heart (cardiopulmonary) conditions and for the elderly -- who usually slow down (ie: too much).   Many Americans take only 5000 steps a day.   Park farther away and walk from your parking place to shop at the store, Go to a zoo, recreation area or a park on weekends with your kids or grand-kids -- instead of sitting in a movie  Take a walk after breakfast or dinner. Some people walk in an air conditioned mall. "It always amazes people to see how little activity it takes to feel better," Dr. Church says. And, be happier in as little as 10 minutes (today...).
Summary: Start with moderate exercise sessions of about 10 minute. Don't give up! Get this exercise for even more help for  Be persistent with small lifestyle changes which are also easier to stick with, but still provide lasting benefits, by determination for continuing such sessions. Make this into a good habit by doing it consistently for two weeks, and then increase your activity gradually. Buy and use an inexpensive pedometer. Increase walking to 7000 or 8000 steps per day to reduce the risk of disease. Figure out how many steps you make a day and then aim to gradually add at least 1000 steps in a week (150 per day), add more until you reach your daily goal. Make some changes like: Find other great benefits that may be as profound as the physical ones.

Problem: Article: You can either use a single ribbon in a color that complements the blooms or a sheer ribbon. Or, you can place a sheer ribbon on top of your colored ribbon and tie them together simultaneously. It should be about 1/2” to 1” (1-2.5 cm) wider than the diameter of your blossom cluster. It should be the same size and be above your original loop. You want four to five loops of a uniform size. Secure the centers with florist’s wire. Leave about 2” (5 cm) of florist’s wire to attach the ribbon to the rest of the corsage. This will create the traditional bow look. The center of the ribbon should be placed at the point where the blooms and the greenery are taped together. This holds the blooms and greenery together. This will hold your corsage together. Leave a bit of ribbon dangling beneath the blooms. Cut the ribbon at an angle or cut a notch into the ribbon to complete the corsage.
Summary:
Choose a ribbon. Create a loop of ribbon. Create a loop. Continue to form the ribbon into loops. Pinch the center of the loops together. Fan out the loops. Tuck the ribbon behind the blooms. Twist the wire around the ribbon’s bottom joint and flowers. Wrap the connection in florist’s tape. Trim the ends of the ribbon.
