INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a knife to chop the bitter melon as finely as possible on a cutting board and put it into a blender or food processor. Add in some pomegranate seeds and/or chopped mango to create a nice flavor. Either blend the chopped melon and fruit into a thin liquid and drink it as a juice, or add in some yogurt to make a smoothie. Oftentimes, Asian markets carry bitter melon tea in the form of tea bags. The taste is similar to green tea. Drink a cup in the morning and cup at night to get a healthy daily dose. If you’re of legal drinking age and are looking for a more creative way to consume bitter melon, try it in a cocktail. Use a box grater to finely grate the skin of one medium melon. Wrap the skin in a cheesecloth and twist it to squeeze out the juice. Put 1 tablespoon (14.8 mL) of juice into a cocktail shaker and add in 1 oz (29.6 mL) of simple syrup, ¾ oz (22.2 mL) of lime juice, ¾ oz (22.2 mL) of gin, and ice. Shake and pour the drink into a glass. Stir in 2 oz (59.1 mL) of soda water and enjoy!

SUMMARY: Make a bitter melon smoothie. Drink bitter melon tea. Have a cocktail made with bitter melon extraction.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Set the pieces next to each other, so the edges you want to sew together are touching. The knits should be facing right side up. Pull out yarn from the skein you used to knit the pieces. Measure the length of the knit pieces you'll be stitching together and pull out 3 times that length. Cut the yarn and thread it through a blunt needle so that 4 inches (10 cm) are pulled through the eye to keep the yarn in place. For example, if you'll need to sew a 5-inch (12-cm) length, thread a 15-inch (36-cm) strand of yarn onto the needle. Tie a knot at the bottom of the yarn tail so it's secure when you pull the yarn through the bottom of the left piece. Use a slip knot or whatever knot you're comfortable with making to securely tie it to the piece. The needle should go from back to front into the first stitch of the piece that you're joining. Pull the yarn through. You don't need to pull the yarn tightly to keep the 2 knit pieces touching, since you'll tighten them later. The 2 knit pieces can be up to 1-inch (2.5-cm) apart while you're doing the mattress (invisible) stitch. Pull the edge of the left piece to reveal a gap with horizontal bars. This gap will be between the edge and second-to-last row you knitted. Insert the needle below 2 of the horizontal bars near the bottom of the piece and pull the yarn up and through.  Avoid pulling the yarn tightly to bring the 2 knit pieces closely together. For a tighter seam, you could insert the needle under 1 of the horizontal bars instead of 2. Stay consistent when you go back and forth between the 2 knit pieces. Pull the edge of the right piece so you can find the gap with the horizontal stitches. Insert the needle under the bottom 2 horizontal bars and pull the yarn through. The yarn should create a line that's even with the stitch you pulled through on the left piece. Insert the needle back into the left knit piece. Again, go under 2 horizontal bars and pull the yarn through. Then, insert the needle back into the right piece of fabric. Continue to sew until you've mattress stitched about 2 inches (5 cm). Use one hand to press down on the 2 knit pieces and use your other hand to hold the yarn. Gently pull the yarn away from you so it tightens the mattress stitches you did. You should see the knit pieces join together and the mattress stitch won't be visible. Avoid pulling tightly or you'll make the pieces bunch together. Pull just until the pieces are touching. Keep inserting the needle below 2 horizontal bars and pulling the yarn through. Do this back and forth on both pieces until you've done another 2 inches (5 cm). Pull the yarn to tighten the mattress stitch. Keep doing this until you reach the end of the seam. Once you've joined the 2 pieces together, insert the needle into the loop on the opposite piece. Pull the yarn through the loop so it tightens. Cut the yarn to leave a 2 inch (5 cm) tail and weave the end through your knit piece. The mattress stitch will make a tight, straight seam that's good for joining sleeves or shoulders.
Summary: Arrange the 2 pieces of knitting. Thread the yarn on a blunt darning needle. Attach the end of the yarn to the bottom corner of the left piece. Insert the needle into the bottom corner of the right piece. Find the gap next to your stitch edge and insert the darning needle. Insert the needle into the right knit piece and pull the yarn through. Alternate the mattress stitch between the left and right pieces of fabric. Pull the yarn to bring the 2 knit pieces together. Continue to mattress stitch in 2 inch (5 cm) increments. Tie off the yarn at the end of the seam.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can do this by using one of your computer's USB-C ports. In order to back up your Mac, you will need an external hard drive on which to store the backup.  Your external hard drive must be formatted for use with a Mac for this to work. You can also use a high-capacity flash drive for this step. If your selected external drive uses a USB 3.0 connection, you'll need a USB 3.0 to USB-C adapter in order to connect the drive to your computer. Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner of the screen. This will prompt a drop-down menu. It's near the top of the drop-down menu. This app icon resembles a green clock dial. The Time Machine window will open. It's near the top of the page. A window will open. Click your external drive's name in the window. It's at the bottom of the window. Doing so will set the external drive as your Mac's Time Machine backup drive. It's the clock dial-shaped icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. A drop-down menu will appear. You'll see this near the top of the drop-down menu. Doing so prompts Time Machine to begin backing up your Mac to the external drive. You'll see a "Time Machine has finished..." message once the backup finishes, at which point you can eject and remove the external hard drive.

SUMMARY:
Connect an external hard drive to your Mac. Open the Apple menu . Click System Preferences…. Click Time Machine. Click Select Backup Disk…. Select your external drive. Click Use Disk. Click the Time Machine menu icon. Click Back Up Now. Wait for your backup to complete.
