INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When magnesium sulfate from the salts is absorbed through the skin, it draws toxins from the feet, calms the nervous system, reduces swelling and relaxes muscles.

SUMMARY: Pour warm water into your foot bath container. Add 1/4 cup (56 g) Epsom salts to the water. Stir the Epsom salts until they dissolve in the water. Place the foot bath container at the end of your treatment table or treatment chair so that your client can comfortably immerse his feet into the foot bath. Allow your client to soak his feet for at least 10 minutes. Lift your client's feet out of the foot bath, one at a time, and dry each foot thoroughly with a terry cloth towel. Remove the foot bath container and drain the water while your client gets into a comfortable position for his reflexology treatment.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Try to find a stick that is approximately 2-feet long and push it into the ground just enough to secure it so it stands upright. It's also important to choose a stick that is as straight as possible. Once it's firmly in the ground, sit or crouch beside the stick so that its tip is at your eye level. If you can't find a stick that is long enough, tent poles also work well. The stick should be approximately 3- to 4-feet long so that its tip stands above the tip of the first stick. From your seated or crouched position, use the tips of both sticks to line up on a bright star in the sky. You may need to move the sticks slightly to line up the star properly You'll know that you have the sticks set up properly if you draw an imaginary line between your eye, the tops of the sticks, and the star. You need to give the star some time to “move”. Keep in mind that the star doesn't actually move; the Earth rotates, which makes the star appear to have moved. The key is to be patient -- it can take anywhere from 5 minutes to a half hour for you to notice the movement. The way that the star “moves” will help you figure out the direction in the Northern Hemisphere.  If the star moves up, you are facing east. If it moves down, you are facing west. If it moves right, you are facing south. If it moves left, you are facing north. In some cases, the star may appear to move in two directions. For example, it might move up and to the right, which you mean that you're facing southeast.
Summary: Drive a stick into the ground. Place a taller stick behind the first. Wait several minutes.

If you start to get angry about something, then it is a good idea to calm yourself down before you talk to your sister. The next time you have a problem with your sister, try taking a 15 minute break to calm down before you talk to her. Some good techniques to try include:   Deep breathing.  Meditation.  Progressive muscle relaxation. Siblings tend to fight often over petty and serious issues. You may find yourself in conflict with your older sister often, even as you both get older. You can avoid conflicts with her by taking the time to focus on her positive qualities. Often, it can be easy to ignore her positive traits and qualities, and instead only focus on the negative.  For example, maybe your sister tends to complain and nag you often about your life choices. You may try to focus on the positive aspects of her behavior, as she is likely nagging you because she is concerned about you and cares about your well-being. You may also try to keep in mind that though your sister nags you, she is also there to support you when you fail or when you are having a hard time. Her positive qualities may outweigh her negative qualities, especially when it comes to her treatment of you. You should always try to view a situation through your sister’s eyes and avoid getting defensive. Maybe your perspective on a situation was different than hers and this lead to a conflict. Or maybe your approach to a certain issue seemed faulty from her perspective. Be willing to consider and respect her point of view, even if you may not completely agree with it. For example, you may feel like your sibling was always the golden child when you were younger or that she gets preferential treatment from your parents now. You could then consider your childhood through her eyes and realize how much pressure and expectation was placed on her growing up. You may be more empathetic toward her if you view the situation from her point of view. Try to do at least one nice thing for your sister. This could be something small, like putting toothpaste on her toothbrush in the morning or asking how her day went at school. Doing kind things for her can help her see you as a kind little sister or brother, and may help to foster a more caring and giving relationship with her. You are both then less likely to get into a conflict or a fight if you are treating each other with respect and consideration. Be willing to tell your sister the things you admire or appreciate about her. You may say, “I like that you have a good sense of humor, even when you are having a bad day,” or you may say, “I appreciate when you stick up for me in front of the bullies at school.” Complimenting her on her behavior will help to create a relationship with her that is respectful and honest.

Q: Fill a clean, plastic gallon jug or 2 liter (0.5 US gal) bottle with water or sand. Make sure that the jug has a handle; this is needed to complete kettlebell exercises. Since old paint cans are meant to withstand being swung around, they can make great improvised kettlebells. Simply repurpose your paint can dumbbells to use in kettlebell exercises. Purchase a potato, rice, or sugar shipping sack, which can be found at most grocery stores. Fill the sack with sand until you have reached the desired weight. At the top of the sack, tie a loop for your hand. Use rope or duct tape to secure the loop so it doesn't detach. You can reinforce the sides and bottom of the bag with duct tape. You can use this method to make multiple kettlebells of different weights. Use a scale to measure out how many pounds you are putting into the sacks before tying the top of the sack.
A: Use a milk or juice jug. Use old paint cans as kettlebells. Make a kettlebell out of a potato sack.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This process is fairly simple, and you'll be able to use the jig every time you want to cut a piece of wood.  Use a sheet of 1/4" plywood as your base. Cut a piece about 10" wide and about 4' long.(If your project is much larger, make the base longer to provide more stability.) Cut a piece of 3/4" plywood to form a "fence." The fence should be a few inches wider than the width of your saw's motor and should be as long as your base. Align the base and the fence at the ends and one long edge. Use wood glue and screws to glue the base and the fence together. Clamp the jig to the edge of a work table. If you don't have one, you can secure a large sheet of plywood to two sawhorses and clamp the jig to the edge of that. Align your circular saw with the fence and cut along the base. This will trim any excess and make sure the jig fits your particular saw perfectly. Mark the line you want to cut on the back side of the piece of wood: this will keep the front of the wood from splintering. Align the cutting jig with the line you just marked. Clamp the jig to the wood. Place the "good side" of the wood face-down. Circular saws cut clockwise, which means that most of the splintering happens on the side of the wood facing the blade. Pushing the saw away from you, move the saw steadily and slowly along the jig. You should have a straight cut!

SUMMARY:
Create a cutting jig for your saw. Use a pencil and a straightedge to mark your line on the wood. Place the wood and cutting jig on sawhorses or a work table. Align your saw with the fence on your jig.
