Article: Measure 2 1/2 cups (590 ml) of milk and 1/4 cup (60 ml) of water into a large pot on the stove.  To make a single serving, cut the amount of milk, water, and noodles in half. You can use low-fat milk for this recipe, but whole milk will make creamier pasta. Keep the lid off of the pot and heat the liquids, so they begin to bubble vigorously. Avoid heating the liquids over high heat or the milk will scorch on the bottom of the pot. Turn the burner down to low and stir in 2 cups (168 g) of elbow macaroni noodles. Keep the lid off the pot and let the noodles bubble gently until they're as soft as you like. Stir the noodles every few minutes to prevent them from clumping or burning. If the liquid evaporates, add 1/4 cup (60 ml) of milk whenever the liquid level looks low. Decide if you want to use the hot milk in the recipe you're making or if you want to drain it. If you want to save the milk, set a large bowl in the sink and place a strainer or colander over it. If you don't want to save the milk, don't place a bowl below the colander. Carefully pour the cooked noodles into the colander. Use the hot elbow noodles immediately in your recipe or put them in an airtight container. Refrigerate the noodles and use them within 3 or 4 days. If you'd like to use the hot milk, consider thickening it with a roux and stirring in shredded cheese. Toss the noodles into this simple cheese sauce for an easy macaroni and cheese.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Combine the milk and water. Bring the liquids to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and stir in the elbow macaroni. Simmer the noodles for 20 minutes. Drain the noodles. Use the cooked elbow noodles.

Problem: Article: The first step to selling your merchandise is making sure it’s legal to sell. Depending on what region you live in, you may need a permit to host a moving sale. This information can usually be found on your city’s website. If you’re still unsure about the legality of a moving sale in your area, call your local information hotline. Most people come to moving sales looking for great deals. If your item costs more than 1/3 of the retail price, it’s unlikely that anyone will buy it. While deciding what to charge, try to price your items in increments of one dollar. Most people don’t carry around change anymore, so a difference of 25 cents can make or break a sale.  Display your prices clearly. People are generally more likely to buy items if they know how much it costs.  Consider offering some kind of bargain to your customers. For example, if you have a lot of old books, you can give your customers a discount if they buy more than one. You don’t want to go through all the trouble of setting up a garage sale only to have your profits stolen! If you decide to use a cash drawer to store your funds, make sure a trusted friend or relative is next to the drawer at all times. If a cash drawer sounds too risky, consider a money bag that clips around the waist.  Have change on hand. Not many people carry around correct change so you want to be well stocked. For example, if you’re selling your items in increments of one dollar, make sure you have a lot of dollar bills. Consider using a credit-card swiping device. These are readily available in many electronics stores and can be linked to your bank account. Don’t miss out on sales just because someone doesn’t have change!
Summary: Check your local “garage sale” laws. Set reasonable prices. Use a good money management system.

There are three phases of surgical treatment – acute, recovery and maintenance.  The first priority when it comes to surgery is to rule out any other life threatening injuries and to stabilize the affected area.  Acute Phase – surgical stabilization is necessary at this point as well as the restoration of limb alignment.  Traction is administered for initial stabilization to take place. Inter-medullary nailing is the treatment of choice. Recovery Phase – the goal here is to encourage immediate weight bearing tolerance, improvement of hip and knee range of motion, and strengthening of the affected area.  Gait training and crutch use is done in this phase.  Low extremity aerobic training such as biking, swimming, and the use of an elliptical trainer is necessary for as long as it is tolerated. Maintenance Phase - in this phase, weight bearing is permitted once complete healing has been achieved.  Activities that can be done here include 30 to 45 minutes of bike riding in a flat surface.  Walking for 3 to 5 miles (4.8 to 8.0 km) per week is also encouraged. Running can be done after 3 weeks then gradual return to usual training regimen. After surgery, physical therapy, discussed below, is needed in order to gradually restore function to the thighs. Usually, range of motion exercises and stretches are done to give strength to the broken femur.  Gradual increase in physical activity is also considered. If you are suffering from closed femoral fracture, the surgeon will wait until you become stable before conducting the surgery. However, for open fracture, an emergency surgery is done immediately to prevent infection. Surgery for a broken femur can last up to three or four hours. Internal fixation is the choice surgery done to treat a broken femur. In this type of surgery, a cut is made to open the fracture, then internal fixator or special metal devices are used to hold the bone in place. Afterwards, a rod or a large nail is placed in the center of the femur to support the bone until it heals.  Sometimes a plate is also placed next to the bone which is attached using screws in order to frame the outside of the leg. Metal plates and screws will reduce the risk of further complications from occurring due to displacement. For external fixation, the surgeon will cut an opening to surgically place metal pins and screws into the bone above and below the fracture site. The pins and screws are attached to a bar outside the skin. This bar holds the bones together, when the skin and muscles have been injured, to promote healing. Pins are generally used when joints are not involved. During intramedullary nailing, metal rods are inserted into the marrow canal of the bones through a small incision. They are then screwed to the bone at both ends. This procedure keeps the bone in its correct position during healing. This surgery provides strong, stable and full-length fixation.
