For most rice cookers, the basic instructions are universal. However, there are slight variations among products, so double check your manual for recommended water to rice ratios, cooking times, and other details. Check the instructions to see if the manufacturer recommends pre-soaking rice and if you should adjust any settings for soaked rice. Some manufacturers recommend soaking brown rice first. If your manual mentions soaking brown rice, soak South Indian-style parboiled rice according to the instructions. Pour the water into the vessel, add a pinch of salt, then stir in the rice.  Add 1 cup (240 mL) of rice and 2 cups (470 mL) of water to make 4 servings. Double those measurements for 8 servings, or combine 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of rice with 1 cup (240 mL) for 2 servings. Just stick to the 2 parts water to 1 part rice ratio. Adjust your measurements if the manual recommends a different water to rice ratio. For models that have multiple settings, select the option for white rice. The cooker will automatically turn off when the rice is finished cooking. It should take about 15 to 20 minutes. Since South Indian-style parboiled rice takes longer, select the brown rice setting. It should take about 30 minutes. Some manufacturers suggest soaking brown rice before cooking it. If so, soak your South Indian rice as directed. Keep the lid on while you let the rice rest. Resting the rice after the cooker turns off will help prevent it from getting sticky or mushy. You can also make the rice ahead of time and keep it warm in the cooker. Many products have a "keep warm" setting. Use a fork to fluff the rice and release steam. Serve it straight from the rice cooker or transfer it to a serving platter.

Abstinence is a method used by many people to prevent pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. It can be practiced in a variety of ways for many reasons. No one definition is the right one, but the overarching theme and purpose for abstinence is to prevent pregnancies and STDs.   Outercourse is a form of abstinence where people abstain or avoid vaginal sexual intercourse. This means all other forms of sexual play can be practiced. Abstinence can also be defined by not engaging in any sexual activities with a partner. Keeping sperm from reaching the vagina is an effective way to prevent pregnancies. Instead of engaging in sexual intercourse that includes vaginal penetration by the penis, try:  Kissing Masturbating Fondling Rubbing Acting out sexual fantasies Using sex toys Oral sex Anal sex Many people find it difficult, but when it comes to preventing pregnancy it is the cheapest and most effective way not to have a baby. It also has no medical or hormonal side effects compared to other methods that help prevent pregnancies.  The benefits of practicing abstinence can go beyond preventing unintended pregnancies. Abstinence can be practiced until you're ready to have sex or until you have found the right partner to have sex with. It can be a way for you to be in a romantic relationship without being sexually active. Or it can serve to symbolize a moral or religious choice. The disadvantages to abstinence come from people who find it hard to abstain from sex and who jump into sex without properly educating themselves or protecting themselves against pregnancies and STDs. It can be difficult to be in or continue to be in a relationship with someone who does not believe in being abstinent. It's best to speak to your partner about your choice and explain to them what abstinence is and why you have chosen to practice it.  Talk to your partner before things get sexual. It's always helpful and important to communicate with your partner what you expect from a relationship and what boundaries you may or may not have. Determining what is allowed or appropriate within your relationship can help clarify and prevent misunderstandings when you engage in any sexual activity. Being abstinent is not forever unless you want it to be. Your relationship and beliefs can change with time or experience.
