INPUT ARTICLE: Article: oil 1 cup (240 ml) of water. Fill a tea kettle or small saucepan with 1 cup of water, and bring it to a boil on the stove over medium-high heat.  You can prepare the full amount of water during this step, but you'll only use 1 cup (240 ml) when activating the tea leaves. The rest of the water may need to be reheated before use. Note that the water should be between 158°F and 176°F (70°c and 80°c). Pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) of boiled water into the clean teapot. Swirl the water around slightly to rinse and warm the pot. If possible, try to use a Moroccan teapot. Moroccan teapots vary in size, but a small pot typically holds about a half liter (six glasses) of tea, while a larger pot holds approximately a liter (12 glasses); you can also use an ordinary teapot if you don't have a Moroccan one. Flameproof teapots are ideal when available. Place the tea leaves in the tea pot. You'll need about 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of loose gunpowder tea for every 6 oz (177ml) of hot water. If following the quantities noted in this recipe, add the full amount of leaves. Chinese gunpowder tea is the most conventional, but if you are unable to find this tea, you could prepare a similar version of this drink using other loose green tea leaves or green tea bags. Use at least 2 tea bags for every 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of loose tea if choosing this option. Add boiling water to the tea pot, directly over the tea leaves currently in the pot. Swirl the pot gently to warm, rinse, and activate the tea leaves. Allow the tea to steep in the hot water for about 30 seconds. For a stronger flavor, you might consider letting it steep for as long as 1 or 2 minutes. Swirl the pot to wash and rinse the tea leaves, then carefully strain the water out through the spout of the tea pot, keeping the leaves in the pot.  The drained liquid is not Moroccan tea. This initial portion of water only rinses the leaves. Some tea pots have strainers in them; others do not. If your pot does not have its own strainer, make sure that you pour the contents through a separate strainer to collect the leaves and return them to the pot.

SUMMARY: . Warm the teapot. Add the loose gunpowder tea. Pour in the remaining 3/4 cup (200 ml) of water. Steep briefly. Strain the water.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Each county in Oregon has a county elections office. You can find addresses and phone numbers for each office here. Go to your local elections office during its hours of operation. Ask someone on staff to assist you with your voter registration. You will need to provide your driver's license number or the last four digits of your social security number. If you do not have those, you can provide some other photo ID, a paycheck stub, utility bill, bank statement, government document, or proof of eligibility under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act or the Voting Accessibility for the Elderly and Handicapped Act. The staffer will provide you with any necessary voter registration forms. Allow a few minutes to complete the paperwork.  If you are homeless, provide the address of the place where you sleep, or enter the address of the county clerk. You can always pick up a ballot from the county clerk's office.  If you are concerned about your safety or privacy, request and fill out an Application to Exempt Residence Address from Disclosure as a Public Record (SEL 550).
Summary: Locate your county elections office. Visit the elections office. Fill out your forms.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You may want to store the numbers to your favorite radio stations in your phone so you can always be ready to call and not be searching for the number. Don't let the radio become background noise. Pay attention to when the contest happens. Call exactly when you are told to call. Don't start too early because your call won't go through and you could miss out on the actual calling time. When you hear about a contest that a station is offering, put a reminder in your calendar or phone to alert you to call. You can even set an alarm to go off ten to fifteen minutes before the station comes on to help prepare you. Digital watches, cell phones, and email accounts usually offer easy-to-use reminders. Grab your cell phone and house phone and use them simultaneously. Have your family and friends call in for you too. As soon as you hear a busy signal, hang up and re-dial. Don’t just try once and hang up.  Use the redial button if you can't get through on your first try. Those few seconds spent redialing manually will reduce or likely eliminate your chances of being the correct caller. Be persistent and keep trying. The people who win a lot of radio contests, play a lot of radio contests. People do get through, and you never know when a phone line will open up, so don’t let the busy signal discourage you. Don't call into the business office or reception. It is not a sneaky way to get around the busy signal and you may miss your chance at winning. The only phone number you can win a prize at is the one that you hear the radio station give out on the air or the one that is listed on the website. Be optimistic and understand your chances are just as good as someone else's chance. If you never try, you will never win. You will not win every time, but with effort it may happen. Just don’t give up and remember to have fun. It can be frustrating when you get a busy signal and you’ve tried multiple times, but there are contests everyday so be persistent. You can’t win if you don’t play.

SUMMARY:
Be ready to call and dial in fast. Set up reminders to call. Seek out ways to call in from multiple sources. Play as often as you can. Make sure you’re calling the right number. Have the right mentality.
