Add the mineral water and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the almond water and refrigerate it overnight. Remove the almond water from the refrigerator and strain it through a cheesecloth or a fine sieve. Pour the strained liquid into a large mixing bowl that is inscribed with measurements. Return the almond water to the pot. Add 3-1/2 cups granulated sugar for every 1-1/2 cups of almond water that you measure. Heat the almond water mixture over low heat until the liquid is simmering but not boiling. Remove the syrup from the heat and allow it to cool. Add a few drops of orange blossom water, rose water and bitter almond extract to the syrup. Pour the syrup into a sealable sterilized container and refrigerate it until you are ready to use it.

Answer: Measure the quantity of almond water that you have.   Cook the liquid until all of the sugar has dissolved.  The syrup will have a golden color.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide on basic classroom rules. Share these rules and expectations with the class on the first day of school. Discuss the negative consequences and positive consequences of the rules. Give a copy of the rules to parents during the first week of school. Review the rules on a regular basis. Put the rules into action.

Answer: Choose at least four to five simple rules for the classroom and write them down. You will use these rules to manage the classroom and establish boundaries among your students.  Your rules may include: all students must come to class on time and ready to learn, all students must be prepared to listen and ask questions by raising their hand, and all students must be aware of the consequences of missing class or turning in assignments late. You may also have a rule about playing fair with others in the classroom and listening respectfully to others when they speak. Make sure you have at least one to two rules that directly address discipline and behavior towards others in the classroom. Start the school year on the right foot by printing out the rules and handing them out to all students. You can also post them on the blackboard or put them on the class' online message board so they are readily available throughout the school year. Explain to your students that you expect them to all follow these four to five rules and to enforce these rules among themselves. You should be clear about the negative consequences of disruptive behavior in class. If a student talks over another student when he/she is speaking, for example, this could be considered disruptive and the consequence could be a reprimand from you. As well, if one student refuses to share an item with another student, this could be considered a violation of the rules and could lead to points deducted from his/her participation grade. Explain possible situations that may be considered disruptive or against the rules of the classroom.  You should also discuss the positive consequences of following the classroom rules, such as verbal praise, or entering a class raffle for a prize. You may also use the star system, where a student who follows the rules receives a gold star beside his/her name or a check mark. Group rewards can be effective, where you put a marble in a jar every time the group interacts well and follows the rules, and when the marbles reach a certain height in the jar, the entire class is allowed to go on a special field trip or event. Once you explain the rules and expectations of the classroom, you should have the class verbally agree to the rules or raise their hands to show they understand the rules. This will act as a commitment to the class rules by everyone in the room. Doing this will ensure parents are aware of your classroom rules and understand how you will discipline your students. Parents may need to be involved in classroom issues if they get out of control, so it will be useful to share the classroom rules in the first week of class. You can also ask parents to go over the rules with their children at home so the rules are clear. This will also signal to children that their parents approve of the classroom rules. Children respond to fair, consistent behavior, and will often lead by example. Make sure you review the rules and expectations for the classroom at least once a week so your students can remember them. It is also important that you ask your students if they have any questions or concerns about the rules. Some students may feel a certain rule needs to be more specific or to be adjusted. Be open to a discussion about the classroom rules and allow your students to voice their opinions. Though you may decide not to shift or adjust any rules, this will show students that you respect their opinion and indicate they are thinking critically about the rules. In the event of an issue or problem in the classroom, draw on the established rules and expectations for the students. Do not be afraid to be strict about the rules, as this is the only way they will be enforced in the classroom. Be prepared to give out appropriate punishments, but avoid yelling or getting angry at students. Instead, use punishments that encourage self awareness and discussion, rather than humiliation or embarrassment. You should also try to maintain positive consequences throughout the school year when a student or the class follow the rules. This will remind the class that the rules are made to reward, as well as to discipline.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Prepare the rosemary. Spread the rosemary on a baking sheet. Place in the oven. Transfer the rosemary to a storage jar.

Answer: Rinse the rosemary well in cold water to remove any remaining dirt or debris. Pat dry with paper towel or use a salad spinner to remove moisture. Pick off any withered leaves or woody stems. Place the rosemary - cut into 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) sprigs - onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Do not overcrowd. Place the baking sheet onto the top shelf of an oven preheated to the lowest temperature. Leave to bake for 2 - 4 hours, until the stems of the rosemary are brittle. Once out of the oven, leave the rosemary to cool completely. Gather up the edges of the parchment paper to form a funnel and slide the dried rosemary into a clean glass jar. Seal the jar tightly and store in a dry, dark place, such as your kitchen cupboard.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Meditate for calm and focus. Get some exercise. Have a good breakfast. Spend time with your loved ones. Express your gratitude.

Answer:
Many successful people engage in some type of spiritual practice in the morning, either meditation or prayer. Take some time for this type of devotion – it can help you to clear your mind for the busy day to come and be able to focus calmly on what is most important. There are many ways to meditate. Some people simply breathe deeply and focus on their breath going in and out. Others use guided meditation recordings or videos, which are widely available for purchase or online. In a guided meditation, there is usually relaxing music and a voice that talks you through breathing and mind-clearing or focusing thoughts. Morning exercise is a great way to fill your mind and body with energy for a great day ahead. People who exercise in the morning are most likely to keep up their exercise routine than people who exercise at other times of day. And morning exercise is a great way to prevent stress and anxiety, and to lower your blood pressure.  Take some time to stretch your body. Stretching can lower blood pressure, decrease inflammation in your body, and even promote weight loss. Try a morning yoga routine or some simple stretching exercises.  Lay out your workout clothes the night before. Or, if you exercise in comfy casual clothes, you can even try wearing them as your pajamas. Jump straight out of bed and onto the treadmill using this strategy.  Sign up for a fitness class with a friend to keep yourself accountable. If you register and pay for a fitness class in advance, and have a friend expecting you to show up, you may be more likely to stick with the morning exercise that will help you make a great start. There’s plenty of advice out there about the best things to eat for breakfast. Some swear by green smoothies (fruit and kale or spinach are common ingredients). Others believe in a high-protein breakfast. Find out what’s best for you and remember that your body and mind need food in the morning to fuel a productive day. A healthy breakfast includes whole grains, lean protein, low-fat dairy products, and fruits and vegetables. Morning is a great time to connect with those you care about. If you live with a partner and children, try to build in quality time with them before you dive into your paid or school work. If you live alone, you can make morning a time to connect by phone or online chat with friends or family, or even to write personal messages to those you care about. Use your commute to stay connected with friends and family, by writing to them while you ride the subway or talking to them hands-free while you drive or walk to work. Some of the most successful people in the world use morning as an opportunity to write down the things they are grateful for each morning. You might be grateful for people, places, or opportunities. Take some time in the morning to write down 3 things that you are grateful for so that you start the day in a positive frame of mind. Carry a small notebook to write your gratitude lists in, or save your lists on your phone. Going back over your previous expressions of gratitude can be a very positive experience, so keep track of the many things you have been grateful for.
