Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Burn hot fires to remove black stains. Let the glass cool. Wipe away haze buildup. Remove dirt and soot buildup with ashes. Remove brown stains with cleaner.

Answer: Stubborn black soot stains that bake onto fireplace or woodstove glass can be very difficult to remove. But hot fires will help loosen the stains from the glass and make them easier to remove with cleaning  Before cleaning your glass, burn one or two hot fires in your fireplace or woodstove to loosen up the soot and dirt that’s built up on the glass. Alternatively, you could burn a creosote removal product or add a few big spoonfuls of 'Red Devil Lye' to the fire box to help soften and reduce the buildup. You should never try to clean a fireplace or woodstove when it’s hot, and this applies to the glass as well. You could burn yourself or crack the glass if you're not careful. To be safe, let the stove or fireplace cool for at least 6 to 8 hours before trying to clean it. If you can, wait a couple of days. You should check the temperature before trying to touch it. For fireplace and woodstove glass that’s relatively clean and well-maintained, you may just have to wipe away a thin layer of haze from the glass. Soak a microfiber cloth or paper towel with water. Wring out the excess, and wipe the inside of the glass with the damp cloth.  You could also use old newspaper for the first wipe down to clear away some of the haze. Make sure to wear gloves while you clean the stove, whether they are reusable or disposable. This will be sufficient to remove the white or grayish haze that can build up on glass from the heat, smoke, and ash. If your glass is still dirty after a quick wipe, continue with the cleaning process. Take some fine white ashes from the fireplace or woodstove. Place the ashes into a bowl and add a few drops of water. Stir the ash and water mixture into a paste, adding more water if necessary. Dip a microfiber cloth into the ash paste and scrub the glass in a circular motion.  Add more ash paste to the cloth as necessary, and keep rubbing until you’ve removed the soot. Rinse the cloth with water, wring it out, and wipe the glass with the clean cloth. You can also use newspaper to clean the glass instead of a cloth. Wood ashes have a high pH and contain calcium carbonate, which is why they're so great for cleaning soot from glass. Brown stains sometimes build up on the glass because of the carbon in the fire. To remove stubborn brown stains, spray woodstove glass cleaner on the window and let it sit for 30 minutes. After soaking, wipe the glass with a damp microfiber cloth to remove stains and excess cleaner.  You can also use this cleaner and the same method to clean the outside of the glass if it’s dirty. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners on woodstove and fireplace glass. These can leave rainbow streaks on the glass, and many glass manufacturers don’t recommend using them.

Answer: Place 1⁄4 cup (59 ml) of refined oil into a large pan. Use a heavy-bottomed pan if possible. Refined oils are purified oils. These include canola, soybean, palm, and corn. Place 1 cinnamon stick and the diced green chilis into the pan with the mustard seeds and onions. Stir the ingredients as they fry.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Mark the first day of your last menstrual cycle on a calendar. Estimate date of ovulation at the middle of your cycle. Note which days you were sexually active around ovulation.

Answer: Most women have a 28-day cycle, which means they start bleeding every 28 days.  The first day of bleeding is the date your cycle begins.  If you do not know at least a general date of your last cycle, you cannot find your date of conception without visiting a doctor. Cycles can be as short as 24 days or as long as 34 days in some women. Knowing the length of your cycle will be important when calculating ovulation. You can only conceive when ovulating, but without daily testing for ovulation, there is no way to know for sure when it occurred. Doctors usually give a short range of dates surrounding the middle day of your cycle. If your cycle starts every 28 days, count backwards 14 days from the date bleeding began and mark it on the calendar.  Women with a regular 28 day cycle can ovulate anywhere between the day 11 and day 21, but day 14 is the standard for estimation.  If your cycle is 24 days, estimate ovulation at day 12.  If your cycle is 30 days, ovulation probably occurred around day 16.  If your cycle varies month to month, use the average to calculate your date of ovulation.  For example, if one month your cycle starts again after 24 days, but the next month it lasts for 26, use 25 days as your cycle length. Once the egg is released from the ovary it has a roughly 24-hour lifespan in which it can be fertilized. Since exact time of ovulation cannot be specified, knowing what days you had sex around the middle of your cycle can help you figure out when you conceived.  Look at the week around your estimated ovulation date, and mark any in which you know you had intercourse.  Conception may have occurred on any of dates you had intercourse between day 11 and day 21 of your cycle depending on your date of ovulation. Although you cannot get pregnant unless you are ovulating, sperm can live inside the body for up to five days.  If you had intercourse in the five days before your estimated date of ovulation, it is possible sperm were still present when ovulation began and fertilized the egg.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remove furniture. Sweep and inspect the deck. Tape areas you want to protect. Choose your day and time.

Answer:
Move tables, chairs, umbrellas, carpets, barbecues, and anything else you might have on the deck. Clear the surface of the deck completely, as well as the railings and steps. This may include removing lights, plants, and other items as well. Before emptying your deck, you might want to clear a space below, in the garage, or in the basement where you can store your deck furniture for a few days while your refinishing project is underway. Sweep to remove dust, dirt, and other debris completely. As you sweep, do a visual check of the deck, looking for problem areas such as popped nails, loose screws, warped, rotted, or split boards, chips, or areas that require sanding.  Sand down any areas where splintered wood way cause slivers. Tighten down loose screws and hammer down popped nails.  Replace single boards that have split or broken. Apply painter’s tape to any areas of the deck that adjoin the house, concrete, or other non-deck surfaces to protect them from splashing cleaner and paint. Spring is a good time for a refinishing project, but if you attempt this in the summer, you are better off applying sealer or stain in the early morning or late afternoon. You don’t want to be refinishing your deck if the temperature is going to drop below 50 F (10 C) or soar above 95 F (35 C).  Don’t try to refinish the deck on a sunny day, as applying your refinishing product in direct sunlight will make it dry too quickly, which will cause lap marks, and prevent the stain from absorbing into the wood properly. You should also have a look at the long-range forecast to help choose a day when it won’t be raining.
