INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can use either a cool water humidifier or a vaporizer. When the air is very dry, any increase in humidity will help prevent a nosebleed. Moistening the air at night will also make it easier to breathe and to sleep. If you don’t have a commercial humidifier, you can make one by putting a pot of water on the radiator/heating in the winter. The water will slowly evaporate over time, increasing the humidity in the air. Boil a pot of water, then put it on the kitchen table with a thick cork pot coaster or potholder underneath to protect the table from the heat. Lean over the pot, being careful not to burn yourself, and inhale the steam. You can also use a towel to make a tent over the pot and your nose. This will maximize the amount of steam you inhale. You can also get steam from a hot shower or bath, but the hot water can also be dehydrating, which is counterproductive. Run a hot shower and wash yourself quickly so that your skin doesn't dry out, but then step outside the stream of water or even outside the bath and inhale the steam. Drink slowly and inhale the steam. This will both be soothing and relaxing for you, and it will help moisten your nasal passages.  It will work with all types of tea, soups, and hot drinks. Choose something you enjoy to make it as pleasant as possible. Drinking tea, soups, and other liquids will also help you to stay hydrated. If you have access to a kitchen at work or school, you can use this method away from home. Staying hydrated will also help your body to keep your skin supple and moist. It is easy to forget to drink enough water in winter when it is cold. But even a dry cold is dehydrating. The amount of water you need will vary based on your activity level and the climate you live in. If you have a heating system that produces a dry heat, you may need extra water in winter. Look out for these symptoms of dehydration:  Headaches Dry skin Feeling lightheaded Infrequent urination or urinating dark or cloudy urine

SUMMARY: Use a humidifier. Try a stovetop steam treatment. Sip a hot cup of tea. Avoid dehydration.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The conversion utility will only allow you to select folders, not individual files. Make sure CR2 files are properly sorted into folders so that you can easily convert them. You'll be able to convert files in subfolders as well. This utility will convert your CR2 files into a compatible DNG format. DNG is an open raw format that will still give you access to all of the raw colors. This converter is necessary if you are running a version of Photoshop that is too old to support your camera model. You can download the latest version of "DNG Converter" from the Adobe Updates site (http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html). Click the link for your operating system to download the correct installer. Double-click the downloaded EXE file (Windows) or DMG file (Mac). Follow the prompts to install the converter program. In Windows, this will involve clicking through some installation screens. For Mac users, you'll drag the DNG Converter program to your Applications folder. After installing, start Adobe DNG Converter from your Start menu (Windows) or the Applications folder (Mac). Click the "Select Folder" button to browse for the correct folder. If the folder contains other folders with more CR2 files, check the "Include images contained within subfolders" box. When you run the converter again to convert newly-added files, you can check the "Skip source image if destination image already exists" box. This will prevent you from converting old files a second time. By default, the converted files will be put in the same location as the originals. You can choose a different folder if you'd prefer the converted files end up somewhere else. You can apply automatic formatting to the converted file names by filling out the text fields. Click the first drop-down menu to select a format for the file name. You can then add additional text using the extra fields. For example, you could use the first field to label each file by four digit serial number, and the second to add the date. If you're using older versions of Photoshop, you may need to change the ACR compatibility to match your version. In the "Change Preferences" menu, use the "Compatibility" drop-down menu to select the correct version. See Step 3 in the first section for a list on the version you need to convert to. This may take a long time if you are converting hundreds of images. Once the files have been converted, simply double-click one to open it in the Camera Raw plugin in Adobe Photoshop.

SUMMARY: Place all of your CR2 files into their own folder. Download the Adobe DNG Converter program. Install the DNG Converter program. Start Adobe DNG Converter. Select the folder containing the CR2 files you want to convert. Select a location to save converted files. Enter a format for converted file names. Click "Change Preferences" to set the ACR version you want the files to be compatible with. Click "Convert" to begin converting your CR2 files. Open the DNG files in Camera Raw.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Shift your weight forward and avoid tensing your muscles into a locked position. Remember to relax so you can absorb the landing with your hips, knees, and ankles. Try leaning forward and bending your knees slightly to soften the landing.

SUMMARY: Be flexible when you land.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: After the 5 minutes have passed, add the blend of fried meats to the deep skillet. Use your spatula or a spoon to blend the meat in with the vegetable ingredients. If you opted to cook tilapia and shrimp instead of lamb and tripe, set these aside. Do not add them to the efo riro yet. Add the blanched fresh spinach (or frozen spinach) that you set aside earlier. Stir it in to the efo riro until the spinach is fully blended with the other ingredients . If the spinach seems to take up too much room in the skillet, don't worry. Spinach loses the majority of its volume as it cooks. Now that all of the ingredients have been combined, simmer the efo riro a little longer to cook down the spinach. You can leave the lid off of the skillet or put it on, depending on the desired consistency of the efo riro. Removing the lid will allow moisture to boil off and thicken the stew. The texture of the efo riro should be that of a thick stew. Ladle a helping of efo riro into a bowl and eat while it's still hot. If you cooked tilapia and shrimp, place them on top of the stew immediately before serving.

SUMMARY:
Stir in the fried meat. Stir in the blanched spinach. Simmer for 2 minutes. Serve the efo riro while it's hot.
