Problem: Article: Rods are also known as sharpening steel. While rods will, in a sense, sharpen your knives, what they are really doing with a rod is honing the blade--with the same result as sharpening your knife on a stone. There are several kinds of rods. The most common is the steel honing rod, which is also known as sharpening steel. It is a very effective and reliable way to sharpen your knife. Rods can also be made out of ceramic and diamond. Both of these materials are reliable because they are two of the hardest materials in existence. Diamond rods are known to create smoother blades, but both will sharpen knives very quickly. To be safe, place the tip on an old tea towel on top of your chopping block or cutting board. (So that you don't leave gashes in your counter tops, and dull your knife at the same time!) The rod should be held straight up and down so that it is perfectly vertical.
Summary: Know that rods are better for 'honing' the edges of knives. Hold the rod by the handle, so that the rod's tip is on the counter.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Constipation can come along with other symptoms. If you are experiencing any symptoms other than constipation, avoid taking Epsom salt or any other laxative until you call you doctor. Never take Epsom salt as a laxative if you are experiencing severe stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, have had a sudden change in bowel habits that has lasted two weeks or longer, are suffering from rectal bleeding, or have dark, tarry stools. There are certain medications that cannot be taken with Epsom salts. Do not use Epsom salt as a laxative if you are taking antibiotics such as Tobramycin, Gentamicin, Kanamycin, Neomycin, and Amikacin. If you are currently taking other medications such as corticosteroids, blood pressure medications, diuretics, pain relievers, antacids, or antidepressants, consult your physician before using Epsom salts as a laxative. There are some conditions that might be complicated if you take Epsom salt. Make sure you check in with your physician before using Epsom salt as a laxative if you have kidney disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, any known heart arrhythmia, or if you have an eating disorder.  Also ask your doctor if it is safe for you to use if you are pregnant or breast feeding. Also contact your doctor before using it if you have used another laxative in the last two weeks that has not worked for you.

SUMMARY: Avoid Epsom salt if you have certain symptoms. Do not take Epsom salts while on certain medications. Consult a doctor if you have certain conditions.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Leave the lid off the jar, and make sure there is no metal anywhere on the jar before putting it in the microwave.  Full-fat milk is traditional, but you can also use low-fat milk, almond milk, soy milk, or any other type of milk you like. If you don't have a suitable jar on hand, you can use a bowl or other microwave-safe container instead. Depending on your microwave, you may only have one heat setting. If the milk isn't hot when you take it out of the microwave, put it back in for 15 more seconds. Always use caution when handling hot liquids. Be careful not to spill the milk when you remove it from the microwave and use an oven mitt or towel if the container is too hot to touch.
Summary: Pour 1.5 cups (350 mL) of whole milk into a microwave-safe jar. Microwave the milk on high for 30 seconds, or longer if necessary.
