Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Restart your computer. Close unnecessary apps. Update your operating system. Empty your Trash.

Answer: If you are noticing your computer running a little slower than usual, you may want to simply restart your machine. When you restart your computer you are not only closing out of old programs but you are allowing your PC or Mac to check for new updates. Another way to improve the speed of your computer quickly and easily is by closing out of applications that you are not currently using. By having a ton of applications and programs open at once, you are putting unnecessary strain on the speed and performance of your device. Always check for the latest updates to your operating system. These are usually free and can be found by going to the App Store on your Mac or your operating system's webpage. Once the update has completed, restart your computer in order for the changes to take place. While it may seem unnecessary, making sure that your recycling or trash bin is empty is essential for optimizing your computer's performance. Simply double-click on your trash or recycling bin and then select "Empty All."


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Select peppers that are crisp and fresh. Purchase 7 to 9 pounds of peppers to fill a canner load of 9 pint jars. Wash your peppers. Slice your peppers in half and remove the cores and seeds.

Answer: When pickling peppers, it is up to you to decide which kind of peppers you would like to pickle. Many picklers mix hot peppers and red or green sweet peppers for a balanced flavor, but the the peppers you choose are up to you. However, there are some characteristics you should keep in mind, regardless of what type of peppers you use:  Look for peppers that are firm and have a smooth skin. Avoid old peppers that are soft and wrinkled or have brown spots, as old peppers can taste bad and become chewy when pickled. This is the standard amount. The step-by-step process listed below will yield 9 pint jars. A bushel of peppers generally weighs 25 pounds and can yield 20 to 30 pints. You can use cold or lukewarm water with the same results. Remove any bad spots on the peppers. Quarter the now seedless peppers. Small peppers can be left whole. If you choose to leave them whole, cut several slits along their sides.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid contact with other warts. Cover current warts. Be careful sharing grooming tools.

Answer: This goes for warts on your own body, as well as other’s warts. Avoid direct contact between a wart and areas where you do not have warts. Touching unaffected areas may only spread the virus – places where you have cuts or scrapes or where you shave are especially susceptible. If you do come into contact with warts or with surfaces that have been touched by someone with warts, make sure to wash your hands and any other exposed areas carefully with soap and hot water. Help keep warts from spreading elsewhere on your body or to others by covering your current warts with a bandage or clothing. This can help minimize direct contact with the wart while it heals. Tools such as pumice stones, razors, nail files or trimmers, and any other object that comes into contact with an infected area could spread the virus. This can include things like towels, too. Be careful sharing or borrowing tools from someone currently treating warts.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Leave the confessional feeling a little lighter than before. If you wish, return to your pew. Complete your penance. Pledge to stay aligned with God.

Answer:
The priest will give you a "Go in peace to love and serve the Lord," or something very similar. Smile, thank him, walk out, and be excited! Your sins have been forgiven and you have a clean slate to work with. You're that much closer to God. Can you feel it? Now what are you going to do with your fresh start? If you forgot a sin you wished to mention, don't fret. God knows of your intentions and it has been forgiven along with the others. However, you may want to mention it next time. Or it could fester and turn into some unnecessary guilt! Many often choose to return to their pew and resume prayer, offering a silent thanks to God. And if your penance was a select number of certain prayers, there's no better time than now to channel God. So feel free to return to your seat and bookend your reconciliation with prayer. Many reflect on their experiences and how they can avoid the sins in the future. When's the next time you plan on confessing? What can you do in the meantime to find inspiration to live in His image? Harden your resolve now to try to live as He intended. Whatever the priest suggested you do for penance is best completed as soon as possible. Whether that's in the pew or a conversation you need to have with a loved one, seek to fulfill His desires as soon as possible. You'll feel so relieved when all is said and done! Upon completion of your penance, you may want to take a moment to thank God and revel in your absolution. Think about how much God loves you and how wonderful it is to be a part of His glory. Not everyone is so lucky! It is not expected that you never sin again. God knows that's ridiculous! It's only expected that you seek to avoid the situations that lead you to sin. It's also not wise to view confession as an excuse to sin! No, no, no. Confession is just a part of bringing humanity a bit closer to God, imperfections and all. All He wants is for you to do your best. As you go about the next days and weeks, keep in mind God's part in your life and how you can strive to live as He desires. Seek out the scriptures for inspiration, and surround yourself with those who yearn to live in similar ways. In other words? Go forth to love and serve the Lord. Your Lord.
