Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Sterilize your scissors. Pinch it with tweezers and pull taut. Take your sterilized scissors and snip off the skin tag. Clean the wound and cover with a band-aid.

Answer: The first thing you need to do is sterilize the scissors you will be using to snip off the skin tag. You can do this using a few different methods. The most thorough way is to use an autoclave (sterilization device) but you may not have one readily available and they can be expensive to buy.   Cheaper alternatives include thoroughly cleaning the scissors with some rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball, or boiling the scissors in a pot of water for ten minutes. Wash your hands with an anti-bacterial soap and carefully place the sterilized scissors on a clean towel and leave to dry. Avoid touching the sterilized blade from this point on. This will extend the skin tag and give you more space to get the scissors as close to the base of the tag as possible. Before you do this, you can numb the area with a little ice to minimize pain, however removing the skin tag is no more painful than a pinch, so this is probably unnecessary. Position the scissors slowly and carefully to ensure that you will snip the skin tag as close to the base as possible, without cutting the surrounding skin. Once you are in position, snip quickly to minimize pain. It should feel like a quick pinch.  Instead of using sterilized scissors, it is possible to use a nail clippers to remove the skin tag instead. The nail clippers may be easier to use if the skin tag is on the back of your neck, or anywhere hard to reach. Just be sure to sterilize the nail clippers using one of the methods outlined above before using. The base of the skin tag will probably bleed a little after cutting, but this is normal. Take care to disinfect the area before covering, as the last thing you want is to develop an infection. Use a little rubbing alcohol or iodine on a cotton ball to do this.   Cover the area with a skin-colored band-aid and allow the skin tag at least 24 hours to heal. If any signs of infection should develop, such as swelling, tenderness, redness or oozing around the wound, consult your doctor immediately.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Select your fruit. Wash fruit thoroughly. Slice into wedges or rounds. Add to cold water. Muddle gently (optional) Add a handful of herbs (optional). Add ice (optional). Wait for infusion.

Answer: Follow one of the recipes above, or just choose your favorite fruit. You can play around with the amounts, but start with several small fruits per quart (liter), or 1–2 cups (240–480mL) berries or cubed fruit. Fresh fruit in season has the best flavor. Frozen fruit won't look as attractive, but may have more flavor than out-of-season fresh fruit. Rub all fresh fruit thoroughly under cool, running water. Since the peel will be sitting in the water, scrubbing contaminants off the surface is extra important.  If the fruit is not organic, consider peeling it to remove pesticides on the surface. This is not necessary for frozen fruit. Round will infuse more quickly on their own, if they are weighed down underneath ice cubes. Wedges may not add much flavor unless you muddle the fruit as described below.  Slice rounds in half for a narrow pitcher. No slicing is necessary for berries or cubed fruit. Drop your fruit into a pitcher of chilled or room temperature water. If you dislike the taste of your tap water, put it through a filtration device before adding fruit. Hot water will infuse with flavor more quickly, but turns the fruit into mush and may destroy some nutrients. . Crushing the fruit will speed up the infusion significantly, but you may end up with a murky, pulpy mixture. For a more attractive pitcher, squeeze some of the juice out using a wooden spoon handle, pressing and twisting but not pulverizing the fruit completely. Leave the fruit untouched if you can wait a few hours.  Alternatively, leave whole slices in for decoration, but squeeze in the juice of one fruit to add more flavor. To flavor a single glass of water for immediate drinking, pulverize the fruit with a muddling stick. Mint and basil are the most common options, but you can use rosemary, sage, or just about any other herb. Rinse the leaves, then rub them between clean hands to bruise them slightly before adding to the water. You can add dried herbs, but place them in a tea strainer so they don't leave fragments in the drink. Besides chilling the water, ice weighs down fruit that floats to the top, and filters out some of the fruit pieces while pouring. Chill the water in the refrigerator for 3–4 hours, or up to 12 hours for extra-potent flavor. To avoid bacteria and unpleasant flavors, strain out ingredients after 12 hours and drink within three days. Stir before serving. The water will infuse faster at room temperature, but also decompose faster. Steep for 1–2 hours, and drink within 4–5 hours of mixing.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look for people with strong personalities. Compare them to people you know. Observe their behavior. Pay attention to the age of the person's sign. Practice guessing people's signs. Ask the person's birthday and birth time.

Answer: Are they confident in their habits? Do they display distinct qualities that most people do not possess? Do you know the person rather well? If so, this person may be a good candidate for analysis. On the other hand, does the person tend to act like everyone else? Is the person shy? Is the person quiet? Think about people you know very well and compare this person to them. Consider many personality traits, physical traits, and how they respond to stress. Compare this information to people that you know intimately to help you guess their sign. It is especially important to observe their behavior while they are in conflicts or while working in groups. We all learn to hide our inner feelings to some degree while in public. People usually display their astrological traits in relationships and tense interactions.  For example, Aries' first reaction when faced with conflict is to yell or threaten, Gemini will talk his/her way out of it, Cancer usually responds with an emotional outburst, Taurus responds to conflict with silence and a posture of strength, etc. Cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn): These people usually responds to conflict with a bold, decisive, instinctive action in an attempt to trump the assault. They are easily motivated to start tasks. Fixed (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius): These people tend to hold in their reaction and respond that the attempt to hurt them was futile, with passive aggressive behavior or with silence. They concentrate on finishing things well. Mutable (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces): These people tend to be artful with conflicts, and are known to try to avoid arguments. They are good at motivating people. Aries is considered the youngest, while Pisces is the oldest. The younger signs tend to display quick tempers and be more selfish and eager to learn while the older signs are wiser, more compassionate and more set in their ways. This is where people get the term old soul. Base your prediction from your study of astrology. The average guesser should have a 1/12 guess rate, but any study of astrology, however small, will improve on the 1/12 rate. Keep studying astrology from experts and from your own observations and your "guessing" will be 1/11 - 1/10. This will help you verify your guesses and improve your skills.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Locate a good wine store. Check the price tag. Look at screw caps. Look at the vintage. Pair your wine Join a wine club. Use an app.

Answer:
Every wine store is different, and you will find that each store offers different selections, different price ranges, and different styles of business.  Stores with organized wine tastings, or those that allow you to buy a glass of wine in order to try it, can lead you in your quest to purchase good wine. Find a store where you feel comfortable going in and asking questions. You want a wine store with a staff that will not only help you understand your wine choices, but also make you feel comfortable coming to them with your questions. Be willing to try more than just specialty shops. Some liquor stores as well as grocery stores carry a wide variety of wines. Look in different places to find different selections. Consider the price of the wine, but do not solely base your decision on this factor. These days, it is not uncommon for wines to be priced based on factors not related to taste.  The business costs of the winery, including start-up costs and investment amounts, can be factored into the price of a wine. Wines from newer vineyards may cost more but may not taste any better. The location of the winery can affect the cost as well. A bottle from a traditional wine region may cost more than a better tasting bottle from a lesser known region.. Some established wineries sell their wines under a different label at a cheaper price. Ignore the idea that bottles of wine with screw caps are not considered to be good wines. An increased number of wine producers are forgoing corks.  Screw caps can prevent corkiness, which is when the natural corks produce a smell similar to wet cardboard. Screw caps also keep bacteria out of wine and allow opened wines to stay fresher longer. Seriously consider a screw cap if you are buying a bottle that will take longer than one night to consume. Some wines get better with age, but many wines are finished aging by the time they are bottled. Look for the freshest wine you can get to ensure you have a good bottle.  Wines labeled or stocked as “fine wines” in your wine store may be better with age. Consult with your wine store’s expert if you are looking for a fine wine. For standard wines, such as those you buy from a grocery store, find the most recent vintage available. This helps prevent getting a corky or spoiled wine. Look to the back of the shelves, as stores often move older stock to the front. . What you eat can drastically change the flavor of your wine. Buy a wine to match your meal so that you get the best flavors from your wine as you enjoy your food.  Salty and savory foods go well with sweet wines. White meats tend to pair better with white wines, while red meats usually pair better with red wines. Lighter white wines usually work best with seafood. Sweet foods are complemented by sweet white wines as well as dessert wines. Spicy foods work best with Rieslings and Gewürztraminers. Vegetable dishes work best with rich whites and light reds, such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. When there are a number of different flavors or food options, look for a wine that is well-balanced and not too extreme in taste.Sauvignon Blancs and Pinot Noirs are generally consistently good and not too offensive with any particular pairing. There are a number of clubs, such as the International Wine of the Month Club, that will mail you a bottle or a case of wine on a monthly basis. These clubs send you a curated wine, sparing you the stress of picking a bottle and allowing you to try something new.  Find a club that is catered to your interests. If you like local wine, see if there is a local wine club. If you only like reds or whites, find one that allows you to receive only the type of wine you like. If you find a wine you enjoy, check with the club or the producing vineyard to find out where you can buy it locally. Smartphone apps like Wine Ring let you record the wines you like, then give you recommendations based on your preferences.  Use it along with or instead of a wine journal to rate wines you like. Get specific vintage and vineyard recommendations for other wines that you might enjoy based on your preferences. Use this to make shopping for wine at the grocery store easier.
