Q: Pour a shallow layer of water into the pan. Heat over high until the water reaches a rolling boil, then remove from heat.  If you don't have a steamer, you'll need a colander that sits on top of the pan, and a lid that can fit over the colander. This methods adds less heat than the oven, but more moisture. The extra moisture is most helpful when the bread is very stale and hard, or if it was left out unwrapped. Place the basket over the steaming pan and cover with a lid. Give the steam at least five minutes to soften the bread.
A: Bring water to a boil in the base of a steamer. Place the stale loaf in the steamer basket. Leave covered until the bread is soft.

Article: This is a relatively painless procedure that injects a liquid chemical or saline solution into your veins to close them off, causing them to disappear. These are good for smaller varicose or spider veins. It may take several treatments, done every four to six weeks. After treatment, your legs will probably be wrapped with elastic bandaging to decrease swelling. There is also a form of the treatment called microsclerotherapy, which targets spider veins. It uses a very fine needle to inject the liquid chemical into the veins. This procedure is generally only used for small varicose veins. A laser will be applied to your skin near the swollen vein. It generates energy to heat the venous tissue, destroying all blood elements nearby. After that, the swollen vein will be obstructed, closed, and, after some time, reabsorbed by your body. Venous ablation uses intense heat to treat your veins, and can be performed either using radio-frequency or laser technology energy. Your doctor will puncture the vein, thread a catheter into the vein up to your groin, then send heat through it. This heat will close off and destroy the vein, and it will disappear over time. This is a surgical procedure in which the doctor will make small cuts in your skin to remove small veins. He will then use small hooks to pull the vein out of your leg. This procedure is good for removing spider veins and other small veins.  In normal cases, this is a same-day surgery. The doctor will only numb the area around the vein, so you will remain awake during the procedure. You may experience some slight bruising. Phlebectomy procedures may be done along with other procedures, including ablation. Your doctor will know if it is useful to do the treatments together. This is an invasive procedure for dealing with problem veins, and is usually done only for severe cases of varicose veins. The doctor will make small cuts in your skin, and tie off and remove the veins from your leg. You will be put under anesthesia during the procedure, and should recover fully in one to four weeks. Even though you are removing veins, this surgery won’t affect your blood circulation. Additional veins deeper in your leg will deal with the blood, and the circulation in your leg should be fine.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Talk to your doctor about sclerotherapy. Consider laser therapy. Learn more about ablation. Discuss getting an ambulatory phlebectomy. Talk to your doctor about vein stripping.

Q: There are many summer schools or courses which are at least 5 nights long, and you can learn things at the same time too. This can also be an asset to your personal statement if you do something related to your intended course of study, e.g. Medlink for Medicine, JACT summer schools for Classics, etc. They will probably have some information on some courses that could be useful for you, and some teachers even teach also at these events! There are loads of great volunteering opportunities wherein you can fulfill your requirements for the Residential section and do some good at the same time. You could go abroad and help with a project, like building a school, or look for some smaller projects, again like with the elderly or the disabled. You could also see if there's a school/scout/guide group that wants to do something like a summer camp who would appreciate your assistance. If you don't find anything related to your academic interests, or you don't have any especial academic interests, search online for fun things you could do. There are many many places that offer week-long activity residentials, e.g. The National Trust, so search around until you find something that catches your eye.
A:
Go on a course. Ask your teachers for ideas. Do some volunteering. Research online.
