In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It is important that the container you use remains cool or very slightly warm after several minutes of microwaving, otherwise, the container itself will overheat the chocolate. The container must also be perfectly dry, as any moisture will cause the chocolate to harden and become grainy.  If you can’t comfortably handle the container after several minutes of microwaving, then it isn’t a suitable container for melting chocolate. If you can't find any chocolate chips, cut a chocolate bar into ¼-inch (0.64-centimeter) wide chunks instead. If you are planning on melting large amounts of chocolate, consider working in smaller batches instead. You can stir the chocolate with a rubber spatula or a spoon, but make sure that whatever you use is dry. Also, keep in mind that every microwave oven is different, so your chocolate may not be melted completely after this. That is perfectly fine; you can always continue heating the chocolate in short bursts. Chocolate doesn't lose its shape when you microwave it, so stirring it will help make it smooth and more liquid-y. Milk chocolate and white chocolate tend to overheat quicker than dark chocolate. It would be best to stir them every 10 seconds. This may sound tedious, but it will reduce the chances of any scorching. Remember, chocolate will keep its shape when heated in the microwave, so stirring it up will help it "melt." How long you end up cooking the chocolate also depends on how much you are working with. For example:  1 ounce (30 grams) will take 1 minute total. 8 ounces (225 grams) will take 3 minutes total. 1 pound (450 grams) may take up to 6 minutes. Once the chocolate is mostly melted, take the bowl out of the microwave, and set it down onto a heat-safe surface. Continue stirring the chocolate, scrapping the bottom and sides of the bowl often, until it is smooth and no chunks remain. At this point, you can also add in any other extra ingredients that the recipe calls for, such as shortening or paraffin.
Summary: Put the chocolate chips into a wide, shallow microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate on medium power for 1 minute, then give it a stir. Continue heating the chocolate at 10 to 15-second intervals, stirring between each one, until it is almost melted. Take the chocolate out of the microwave and continue stirring the chocolate until it turns smooth. Use your chocolate.

Antihistamines can help to diminish sneezing, sniffling, and itching as a result of winter allergies. These can be purchased over-the-counter at your local pharmacy or drugstore. Examples of antihistamines include Zyrtec (certizine), Claritin (loratadine), Allegra (fexofenadine), and Benadryl (diphenhydramine). Follow the dosing instructions on the bottle. Note that many antihistamines, like Benadryl, can have a sedating effect, making it difficult to function. Look for non-drowsy antihistamines, such as Claritin, Zyrtec, or Allegra (fexofenadine). A nasal spray will usually work faster to treat your allergies than taking a pill. You can get prescription or over-the-counter nasal sprays to treat congestion, runny nose, itchy eyes, and itchy throat. You can try a saline spray, which is safe for daily use and can be used by adults and children. Other options include antihistamine sprays, corticosteroids, or decongestant sprays.  Antihistamine sprays, such as Astepro (azelastine) and Patanase (olopatadine), are available by prescription. They are effective but may cause drowsiness. Corticosteroid sprays are available over-the-counter or by prescription, and include brands like Flonase (fluticasone proprionate) and Nasonex (mometasone). They reduce swelling and are good for long-term use — you may wish to begin using them at the start of season, as it can take a few days or weeks to notice the full effects of this treatment. Alternatively, you can also use a decongestant nasal spray like Afrin or Dristan (oxymetazoline hydrochloride); however, this is only recommended for short-term use of less than three days, as any longer can lead to "rebound" symptoms of worsened congestion. If you suffer from ongoing allergies, one option to consider is allergy shots. They do not provide immediate relief from your symptoms, but rather, work towards a long-term solution where you eventually become desensitized to the allergen. Your doctor will first determine what allergens, specifically, trigger you by testing you for each one. You will then be administered shots with gradually increasing doses of the allergen so that your body adapts to it and no longer reacts in the same way.  Allergy shots require a time commitment as well as a financial one. It can take as long as six to twelve months to develop tolerance/immune response to specific allergen and then an additional three to five years to maintain. Allergy shots do not work for food allergies.

One-sentence summary -- Try an antihistamine. Use a nasal spray. Ask your doctor about allergy shots.

Q: Turn on the water long enough to just get yourself wet, about 30 seconds. Make sure you get your hair and whole body wet in this amount of time, then shut the shower off. With the water off, proceed to lather up your body. Put shampoo in your hair, and rub it in well. Soap up your body. Keep going until you've got your whole body covered in soap suds. While the water is off, take the time to shave. If you need a little water to rinse off your razor from time to time, fill an old cup with water. Then just agitate it in the water to clean it off before moving on. Turn the water back on. Starting with your hair, begin rinsing off the soap. Rinse from the top down so you're not adding soap back to areas you've already rinsed. Leave the shower on just long enough to rinse off your whole body. If you need to use conditioner, turn off the water again, and lather up with conditioner. Once you're done, turn the water on again to rinse it out. Alternatively, use a leave-in conditioner that doesn't need to be rinsed out.
A: Turn the shower on for 30 seconds. Turn off the shower, and lather with soap. Shave as needed. Turn the water on, and rinse with soap. Repeat the process for conditioner.

Problem: Article: There are many different types of trends: fashion trends, slang trends, new dances or social media trends. Some are easier than others to pull off, and all take a great deal of effort to popularize. You’ll want it to have a couple of qualities: mainly originality and simplicity. Creative, simple and accessible trends catch on because many people notice the trend and are able to participate.  Make sure your idea is original. While many trends build on current styles and ideas, good trends represent something unique. You’ll need to come up with an idea that is not only unusual, but makes people wish they had thought about it before. The trend needs to be something that truly interests you too, and not just something new for the sake of being new. Make sure it’s original and authentic to who you are as a person. Keep your trend simple. The more complicated a trend is and the more steps people have to follow, the less they will be interested. Trends like slap bracelets, the Macarena and reaction videos are simple, easy to make, learn or buy, and none of them take a lot of work for normal people to participate in. Try to angle for the same simplicity with your trend. You'll want to make sure that your trend is relatable and interesting to those around you. It will only catch on if other people find it interesting, so make sure it makes sense for the setting you spend your time in, whether it's school, an office, or an internet forum.
Summary:
Think about the type of trend you want to start. Think about the qualities of your trend. Tailor the trend to your environment.
