INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The race starts at 5 am, so it's important to get there early. It's important to know the marathon route, as all streets are closed overnight and re-opened during certain hours throughout the day. Avoid thinking and concentrating on running like it's the only thing on your mind. There are lots of Pacific Ocean sights over Kalanianaole Highway and Diamond Head, so take a breath and enjoy the views. Take advantage of any water cups or sponges as you move along. Even if it's throwing the water on your hair or the back of your shirt, you will feel better and more energized. The marathon doubles up along Kalanianaole Highway, so cheer on encouragement to those on the other side of the road. There is a lot of Aloha spirit and even if it's cheering on a Japanese participant, everyone has fun.

SUMMARY: Arrive at Ala Moana Beach Park. Take in the views. Hydrate yourself at all times. Cheer on others.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will need one cup of epsom salt, one cup of baking soda, two tablespoons of liquid glycerin, and essential oils. Adding dried herbs or flowers can also add extra scent and beauty to your bath salts. Start by mixing the epsom salt and baking soda together. Then, add the liquid glycerin and combine well. Use as much scented oil as you would like, but make sure that you thoroughly mix it with all of the ingredients. Pour all of the bath salt mixture into a container with a lid, and store it between uses. Add a few tablespoons to hot bathwater and enjoy the skin-softening effects!

SUMMARY: Measure your ingredients. Mix the ingredients. Store the finished product.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: An infestation of worms, such as tapeworms, can cause your cat to vomit.  By deworming your cat, you will be able to either stop the vomiting from occurring, or at least rule out this as a cause.  Deworm your cat more often — once a month at minimum — if they are allowed to hunt. If your cat is behind on their deworming, get them up to date. There are many dewormers available to purchase. Different products have different spectrums of effectiveness, thus deworming your cat is not a guarantee all the worms are gone. On occasions it is necessary for your vet to analyze a fecal specimen to identify any worms that have survived treatment. Use, selamectin (Revolution), for roundworms.  Use, milbemycin (Interceptor), to remove many types of worms. Many cats have allergies, particularly to proteins. Your cat may have an intolerance to a component of their diet.  Identify and remove any allergens from the cat's diet.  Ask your vet about hypoallergenic diets. Use a hypoallergenic diet for at least eight weeks, to ensure the allergen has passed.  Slowly introduce new foods, one at a time, and check for any that trigger vomiting. Some cats will vomit almost immediately after eating the allergen, but others may take hours to vomit. Generally, when the allergen reaches the stomach, irritation occurs, which results in vomiting. Cats are very sensitive to medications and many medications have the side-effect of causing vomiting.  Take note of any medications you may have given your cat and see if they might be responsible for the vomiting.  Your veterinarian will be able to tell you more about complications from medication. If a medication is the cause of the vomiting, ask your veterinarian for alternative. Cats are extremely sensitive to medications, home remedies should not be administered.

SUMMARY: Check when your cat was last dewormed. Be aware of potential allergens. Check if your cat has started any new medications.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a strainer with small to medium-sized gaps. Fine gaps will allow you to separate as much of the solid from the liquid as possible, but they may make the process go slower. Medium gaps offer a nice balance between speed and quality. The bowl should have a wide enough opening to catch any liquid that falls from the strainer. If possible, select a bowl that the strainer can rest on in order to free up both hands. You should see juice running through the strainer and into the bowl. Keep pressing until you are unable to produce any more juice. Garlic pulp can be used to flavor stews, soups, stir-frys, and a number of other recipes. The filter should be secured with a rubber band so that it rests loosely over the bowl, but will not fall inside. Running the juice through a coffee filter will create an even purer product. You can also use your coffee maker, but be aware of the fact that garlic has a potent odor that may linger even after you clean your machine. As a result, any coffee you prepare in the machine afterward may have a hint of garlic flavor. If you pour too quickly, you may spill some. Continue pouring until all of the juice is strained into the bowl. Keep it in a glass bowl to prevent the odor from contaminating other foods, as well as to prevent any other flavors from contaminating the garlic juice.

SUMMARY:
Transfer the garlic puree or mush into a strainer. Position the strainer over a bowl. Press down on the garlic with a rubber spatula. Discard the pulp or save it for future recipes. Position a coffee filter over a glass bowl. Slowly pour the garlic juice through the coffee filter. Store the juice in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it.
