Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Sauté the weisswurst for 2 to 4 minutes. Slice the onions and drain the sauerkraut. Combine the weisswurst, onions, sauerkraut, and beer in the skillet. Cook the weisswurst for 15 to 20 minutes. Add sliced apples and season the dish. Cover and cook the dish for 2 more minutes.

Answer: Pour 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of vegetable oil into a large, heavy skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. Place 1 pound (453 g) of weisswurst in a single layer in the skillet. Sauté and turn the sausages frequently until they're golden brown on the outside. This should take 2 to 4 minutes.  Use a skillet that's at least 12-inches (30 cm) in diameter. Avoid over cooking the weisswurst since they'll finish cooking in the oven. Peel 2 onions and use a sharp knife to slice them thinly. Get out 3 cups (450 g) of sauerkraut and place it in a fine mesh strainer over a sink. Press against the sauerkraut so the liquid drains out of the sauerkraut. Carefully drain and discard any of the hot grease in the skillet. The sausages should still be in a single layer in the skillet. Spread the sliced onions and drained sauerkraut evenly over the weisswurst. Pour 2 cups (473 ml) of beer over the mixture. You can use any wheat or Bavarian-style beer. Put a lid on the skillet and turn the heat to medium. Let the weisswurst, onions, and sauerkraut cook until the sausages are cooked throughout and the onions soften. This should take 15 to 20 minutes. If you don't have a lid for your skillet, consider laying a baking sheet down over the skillet. Use an apple corer to remove the cores from 2 granny smith apples. Slice the apples into 1-cm thick slices and add them to the skillet with the sausages. You should also sprinkle the dish with freshly ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper, to taste. Put the lid back on the skillet and cook the mixture over medium heat until the apples soften a little. This should take 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and serve the cooked weisswurst, onions, sauerkraut, and apples while they're hot. You can store this dish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Attach the sails. Adjust your heading and sail trim for the wind. Trim the jib sheets. Trim the mainsail.

Answer: Secure the bottom front (tack) of the mainsail and jib to their respective shackles on the boom and the bow of the boat.  There will be a small line (outhaul) attaching the rear corner of the mainsail (clew) to the end of the boom. Pull it so the foot of the main is taut, and cleat. This helps the mainsail have a smooth shape for the air flowing over it. Hoist the mainsail by pulling down on its halyard until it stops. It will be flapping around (luffing) like crazy, but that's OK for a short period of time. (Excessive luffing will drastically reduce the life and durability of the sail). The leading edge of the sail (luff) must be tight enough to remove folds, but not so tight as to create vertical creases in the sail. There will be a cleat in the vicinity of the halyard where it comes down from the top of the mast. Cleat the halyard. Using the jib halyard, raise the front sail (jib, genoa or simply the headsail), and cleat the halyard off. Both sails will be luffing freely now. Sails are always raised mainsail first, then the jib, because it's easier to point the boat into the wind using the main. Sailboats cannot sail directly into the wind. As shown above, the red zone in the diagram indicates a "no go" zone when under sail. To sail to windward, a sailing vessel must sail about 45-50 degrees off the wind and change direction by tacking (or zig-zag).  Turn the boat to the left (port) or right (starboard) so it's about 90 degrees off the wind. This is known as a beam reach. Pull on the main sheet (trimming) until the sail is around 45 degrees away from straight back (aft). This is a safe place for the main while you trim the jib. You will start moving and tilting (heeling) away from the wind. A heel of more than 20 degrees usually indicates that you're being overpowered. Releasing the mainsheet momentarily (breaking the main) will lessen the amount of heel, and you will return to a more comfortable sailing angle of 10 to 15 degrees. Although the mainsail is hoisted first, it is the jib that is trimmed first. There are two jib sheets, one for each side of the boat. Pull on the jib sheet on the side away from the wind (leeward side). This is the active sheet while the other is called the lazy sheet. The jib will form a curve or pocket; trim the sail until the front edge just stops luffing. Keep your hand on the tiller (or helm) and stay on course! Let out the main sheet until the front edge just starts to luff, then pull it back just until it stops.  If you or the wind hasn't changed direction, this is the most efficient place to set the sails. If anything changes, you have to adjust them in response. You have just entered the world of the sailor, and you will have to learn to do many things at once, or suffer the consequences.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Familiarize yourself with the vocabulary for each family member. Talk about your family's physical and personal attributes.

Answer: You want to give your German acquaintances and friends a holistic view of yourself, and knowing how to talk about your immediate family can add a significant layer to it.

Meine Mutter/Schwester/Frau ist groß/klein/nett - My mother/sister/wife is tall/short/nice  Sie hat braune/blaue/grüne Augen - She has brown/blue/green/eyes  Mein Vater/Bruder/Mann ist groß/klein - My father/brother/husband is tall/short  Er hat braune/blaue/grüne Augen - He has brown/blue/green/eyes  Meine Mutter/Schwester/Frau ist freundlich - My mother/sister/wife is friendly"   Mein Vater/Bruder/Mann ist lustig - My father/brother/husband is funny


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try a bedwetting pad alarm. Try a wearable alarm. Consider how the alarm sounds. Know that with nighttime alarms, you may need to help. Try a daytime alarm, too.

Answer:
When you believe that your child is ready and motivated to stop wetting the bed, a bedwetting alarm may offer the most effective solution. The basis for the alarm is to arouse the child immediately upon wetting, prompting him or her to rise and finish in the toilet. When this happens repeatedly, the child is conditioned to awake when his or her bladder is full—before any bedwetting occurs.  The pad alarm is positioned on the bed beneath the child; this type of alarm is not attached to your child's undergarments. The pad alarm may work very well if your child remains in one place while asleep, otherwise this type of alarm may not be effective. Some alarms require 2 steps to shut off, making it more difficult to turn it off without arousing. Wearable alarms may be wireless, attached to the underwear, or even built in the underwear. Many of the alarm units are attached to the bed shirt to make it harder to ignore. That being said, some kids find the wearable systems to be uncomfortable, in which case, there may be poor cooperation on your child's part. Ultimately, wearable alarms have evolved to solve the problem of bedwetters missing the pad-style alarms. In choosing between pad and wearable alarms, take into account your child’s temperament, motivation, distance from your bedroom, and ease of arousal. The same principle applies for mattress products as well. All of these devices work by detecting moisture. When this occurs, an alarm or warning vibration is triggered. When deciding what to purchase, remember that a vibrating signal will not alert the parents, although alarm and vibration together may be useful.  The volume of some alarms is adjustable. This may be useful for particularly sound sleepers or to provide a sufficiently loud signal that you can hear. Some of the alarm units can sit by the bedside, making them more easily heard. Also, some products offer, at additional cost, a remote unit that can be located by the parents' bedside if they need to be awakened as well. A parent plays an important role in alarm training. If the child does not quickly arouse and go to the bathroom, the parent must promptly awaken the child. Eventually, most kids with uncomplicated bedwetting will start responding on their own.  Many children who wet the bed are described as sound sleepers, and indeed many are.  This often raises concerns from parents that their child will not awaken when the alarm is triggered. In fact, at the beginning of alarm treatment, this is the rule, not the exception. It is quite interesting that a significant portion of children who stop wetting the bed after using the alarm do so by sleeping through the night dry rather than needing to awaken and go to the bathroom. Most of the causes of daytime wetting have one thing in common: timing. The strategy of timed voiding is to get children with urinary urgency and incontinence to empty their bladders on a strict schedule that gets them to the bathroom before they have the urge to go. This also helps them to understand the feeling of a full bladder before wetness occurs. In addition, there are daytime alarms that attach to the underwear during the day to sense wetness and alarm similar to a nighttime alarm.  To optimize bladder training, a regular alert is very useful. At home, this can occur using an alarm clock or smart phone that can be set to multiple times. In school and while at play, consider an alarm watch that can be set to alert as often as is recommended by your doctor. Aim for 2 hour intervals if your child can manage this without the urge to urinate. You will need to alert your child's teacher to the plan so that your child is allowed to use the bathroom when the alarm goes off. Some children feel embarrassed when the alarm goes off frequently during the school day followed immediately by going to the bathroom. This may be addressed by using an alert watch that has the option to vibrate rather than give an audible signal.
