INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In general, stain removers should not be used too often. Even mild stain removers can wear down a counter's surface. If you notice a spill, wipe it up with paper towel promptly. If there is any remaining mess, wipe the area down with water or a cleaner that works for your countertop. Avoid letting stains become set into the counter. A mixture of water and white vinegar can be spritzed on stains for limestone, slate, and soapstone. This should remove set in stains. You can also add enough water to baking soda to form a paste. Rub the paste into the stain until it lifts and then rinse the paste off with water. Bleach diluted with water can be worked into stains on a tile counter top using a toothbrush. Make sure to dilute the bleach to safe levels. The instructions on a container of bleach should tell you the ratios to use to dilute your bleach. If there is mildew in the cracks of tiles, however, opt for a mildew cleaner. You can buy this at most grocery or department stores. Silestone is particularly susceptible to damage. Store bought cleaners often wear down silestone, as will some cleaners made from household products. As specific types of silestone differ, check the manufacturer's label to see what is safe to use on your specific brand of silestone.

SUMMARY: Wipe spills as soon as you notice them. Use baking soda or vinegar for limestone, slate, and soapstone. Target tile stains with a toothbrush. Check manufacturer's recommendations for silestone.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: . If you want to make your life matter, you need to focus on meaningful accomplishments. Set goals for yourself, based on your passions and wants, and work towards these goals.  Set specific goals that push you towards meaningful pursuits. For example, don't set a goal like, "I'm going to protect the environment." Focus on the specifics on how you might do this. For example, "I'm going to use my bike more and recycle cans and bottles."  It's important that you set goals you can reasonably accomplish. Say animal rights are important to you. A goal could be, "Get my school's cafeteria to switch to cage-free meat and eggs." While this a big goal, there are ways you can go about doing this. You can make a petition, talk to your teachers or professors, raise public awareness by handing out flyers, and so on. Repeat your goals to yourself when you get discouraged. Read your lists of personal goals each morning if you're having an off week. This can help you remind yourself why your goals are important and push you to work harder. Compassion is key to leading a meaningful life. If you want to influence those around you in a meaningful way, try to develop a sense of empathy for others.  Pay attention to the body language of those around you. This can give you insight into their emotions. Watch people's facial expression and how they carry themselves. Someone who's slumped over and frowning, for example, might be angry or sad.  Listen to people when they talk. It can be helpful to repeat what a person says in your own words when he or she finishes talking. This can assure that you're completely understanding these person's emotions. Ask people how they feel or how they're doing and make an effort to genuinely listen to their answer.  Read books and watch movies that deal with human emotion. Look for realistic stories that explore the feelings and emotions of characters. This can help you better understand those around you.  Be kind throughout the day. If you hear someone gossiping about another person, do not engage. Imagine how you would feel if you were on the receiving end of gossip. This can help you avoid the temptation to join in. In addition to being aware of others emotions, try to be aware of your own. Be aware of how you're feeling and how you can regulate those feelings in  a positive manner.  Emotions can vary in intensity. You may feel a little sad, for example, if you see a dead bird on the sidewalk. You may feel very sad if you get a bad grade on a test you worked hard on. Emotions, however, are temporary. They come and go with time and circumstance.  No emotions are inherently bad. However, how you express them matters. For example, you should yell at your mother if you did poorly on an exam. It can be helpful to talk about your emotions with those you're close to. This way, you get negative feelings out of your head and this can help you not lash out when you're upset.  Regulating your emotions is important to living a meaningful life. If you want to do good in the world, you have to take care of yourself as well as others. Work on fostering an awareness of your own emotions and expressing them in appropriate ways.
Summary: Set goals Live with compassion. Be aware of your own emotions.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Selena Gomez receives a large volume of fan letters and notes each day. She does not have time to respond to them all and cannot meet every fan who makes a request. However, If your circumstances are peculiar enough there is some chance that you might be invited to one of her events free of charge. The easiest way to send Selena Gomez a written note is through one of her social media pages.  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Selena  Twitter: https://twitter.com/selenagomez  Google Plus: https://plus.google.com/+SelenaGomez/posts  YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/selenagomez Selena Gomez is involved with many well-known charities, including UNICEF. If you get involved with some of the causes and charities that she’s involved in your paths may cross during a charity event. Your contribution or involvement will usually need to be somewhat significant if you hope to get invited to the same events. For example, you could join her cause by volunteering with UNICEF or starting a UNICEF club at your high school. If you do other charity work, you may also be nominated as a UNICEF "do-gooder," which would draw attention to you and your efforts. If you are a terminally ill child and your biggest wish is to meet with Selena Gomez, you can make a request through the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

The referral can come from yourself, a parent, or a medical professional. You must be between the ages of 2-1/2 and 18 at the time of referral, and you must have a life-threatening medical condition.
