INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Look for thin, absorbent cotton balls or pads at your local drugstore. Do not use tissue or toilet paper, as it is not absorbent enough. You risk getting iodine stains on your fingers or hands when you try to remove it from your skin. Look for rubbing alcohol that is made with at least 70-90% isopropyl alcohol. Pour 1⁄4 teaspoon (1.2 ml) rubbing alcohol onto the cotton ball or pad. You can get rubbing alcohol at your local drugstore or online. If you are removing iodine stains next to a healing cut or wound, be careful not to rub the pad over this area. Do not scrub at your skin. Simply spread the rubbing alcohol lightly over the area to remove the stains. Once you have removed the iodine stains, place the area under warm running water to rinse it off. Apply the rubbing alcohol as needed to your skin to remove the iodine stains.

SUMMARY: Get a cotton ball or pad. Dab the cotton ball or pad in rubbing alcohol. Apply the rubbing alcohol in small, circular motions. Rinse your skin with warm water.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: By learning more about your car, you can find out how it works, learn about its safety features, and learn how to troubleshoot problems. A better understanding of a car makes you feel comfortable with it. Learn about the parts of your car, and then experiment with your driving, away from other cars, to see how they work.  For example, if your car has anti-lock brakes (ABS), try them out in a safe place, before you need to use them. Get up to a medium speed, and press the brake hard. You may feel the pedal pulse, or hear a pulsing noise. That's exactly what it's supposed to do. Anti-lock brakes are designed to stop your car in the shortest possible distance, by automatically pulsing the brakes to prevent you from skidding. Get used to your own car. It may be better for you to practice driving in the same vehicle until you get more confident. All cars are a little different and have their own quirks. Learn how to fill up washer fluid, replace fuses, put air in your tires, or replace windshield wipers. Getting comfortable with the parts of your car, even if they are very basic, can help you feel more confident and less anxious. Learn how to change a tire. A lot of people are afraid of what they will do in the event of a flat tire. If you can change a tire, you will not need to wait at the side of the road for help. You can feel empowered to solve your problem. Consult the highway code or book an appointment with a qualified driving instructor. Feeling knowledgeable about rules and expectations can help your confidence. Watch safe driving videos online. If you can't get to a class, try watching videos to build skills and increase your confidence level. Learn to identify and correct or avoid difficult situations, before they become emergencies. Your anxiety level may be reduced by feeling more prepared to handle problematic scenarios. Not only will you learn valuable, confidence-boosting driving skills, but you can often get a discount on your insurance premiums for completing a reputable defensive driving training course.

SUMMARY: Read your owner's manual. Teach yourself basic car maintenance. Review the rules of the road. Take a defensive driving class.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you have temperatures above 75 °F (24 °C) during the summer, plant your vegetable crops in May or June. Make sure they are planted after the threat of frost is over. Lettuce, cabbage, kale, and tomatoes are all great options to plant in the summer. Most fruit, like apples, oranges, lemons, and limes can be grown on trees in a 12,000 square feet (1,100 m2) area. Start with planting a fruit tree in a pot to monitor the soil and water intake, and then transfer it to the ground after 1 year during the early spring. Most fruit trees will not start bearing fruit until they are 2 to 3 years old. Vine fruits, like grapes, can be grown anywhere with a trellis that they can climb. If you live in an area that gets below freezing and has a lot of precipitation, plant grains like rye. Rye is able to withstand the cold temperatures and the heavy rainfall that will happen in many areas of the world. Plant your rye in the early fall before the first frost hits. Winter grains will usually give a higher crop yield than summer grains. Summer grains, like corn, do best during warm weather. If your summers get hot, plant corn in May or June and let it grow over the summer months. Corn does especially well in the midwest area of the United States. Rice needs a tropical climate to grow. Southeast Asia is the best climate for rice crops. Potatoes, beets, radishes, and other vegetables that grow underground prefer to grow during the colder months. Plant root vegetables in July or August to prepare for a fall harvest. You can grow these even if the threat of frost is near, since they are hearty enough to withstand it.

SUMMARY:
Grow most leafy greens and vegetables during a warm summer. Plant fruit in the early spring in a moderate climate. Grow winter grains in a cold, wet climate. Farm summer grains in a warm, moderate climate. Let root vegetables mature during the fall.
