Article: For this recipe you will need the following items:   Paring knife Zester Saucepan Candy thermometer Candy molds Airtight storage container. Start by peeling the ginger with a paring knife or vegetable peeler.   Fresh ginger is available at most supermarkets in the produce section. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties and is commonly used in cough remedies as an effective antihistamine and chest decongestant.  Cut the ginger into very thin slices using a paring knife. Use a zester to get at least 1 teaspoon of lemon zest. Bring this to a boil over high heat.  You will know when the pot is at a full boil when you have a constant stream of large bubbles coming to the surface and a good deal of steam. Once the pot has come to a full boil, reduce the heat to low. Then remove the ginger and cinnamon stick.   The easiest way to remove the spices is with a strainer. Place a strainer into a clean saucepan. Pour the hot mixture through the strainer. The ginger and cinnamon will be left in the strainer and the liquid will be caught in the clean saucepan underneath. Bring this mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly.   Honey has been studied in clinical trials. It has been proven to be as effective as cough syrup in suppressing coughs.   You will want the sugar to dissolve. You can tell if the sugar is dissolved if you take a spoon of the liquid and cannot see any grains of sugar in it. Once the sugar is dissolved, you will use a candy thermometer to get this syrup to the hard-crack candy stage. You will use this to monitor the heat.  The candy liquid will need to be heated to a high temperature in order to harden into lozenges. It is very important that you closely watch the temperature of the syrup so it doesn't burn onto the saucepan or become too hot to form hard cough drops. The goal temperature for hard-crack lozenges is 300-305 degrees Fahrenheit. It will rise quickly as you cook the liquid.  As the liquid rises in temperature, it may darken. This is expected as the sugar in the syrup caramelizes. When the candy thermometer reaches 300-305 degrees, remove the liquid from heat. You will now add the final ingredients before pouring the mixture to cool in candy molds. Take caution when adding the juice and zest. As you add the juice, it may cause the hot liquid to splash. Stir completely to make sure the liquid is evenly mixed. You can use unflavored cooking spray to do so.   Carefully pour the hot liquid into the molds. Take care to fill only the small candy mold and not to spill too much of the liquid over the top each. This recipe will make about 50 small lozenge sized pieces. This will take an hour or more.  When the cough drops are cool, crack them out of the molds onto wax paper. To crack the drops out of the candy molds, tap the mold gently on a hard surface. The cough drops should fall out. You may have to bend the candy mold tray in order to get the cough drops out, similar to cracking ice. If you don't have superfine sugar at home,  you can put regular granulated sugar in a food processor or blender. Process this until it is a finer consistency.  Shake the jar to coat the cough drops with sugar. This will prevent them from sticking together. You can also use powdered sugar to coat the drops, but it tends to clump. You don't need to refrigerate them.  Use them as needed. Since these don't contain any of the common drugs found in cough syrups, these are ideal if you want to avoid the side effects of over-the-counter cough remedies. The cough drops will have a pleasant, sweet taste of lemon, ginger, and cinnamon.

Article: Many schools have a minimum GPA requirement for homecoming court candidates, and most are reluctant to nominate any students that have a disciplinary record. To make sure that you'll qualify, try your best in your classes, and avoid putting yourself in risky situations where you might break laws or school rules. Committing to and working hard at extracurricular activities is a great way to get to know other students, and to make yourself known to them. Homecoming court members are elected by their peers, so joining multiple activities is a great way to meet potential friends and acquaintances who may vote for you later on. Try to take part in a diverse set of activities that span different social groups. If you are only involved in sports, or if your time is consumed by the math and debate teams, you may not get to know others besides the group of people who enjoy those activities. Branch out and meet new people by trying new things. Make an effort to get to know the other students outside your group of friends. Even if you don’t become close with them, they may remember a good conversation or a considerate compliment when it comes time to vote for the homecoming court. Because of that, they’ll be more likely to cast your vote for you. Being liked and respected by your classmates, even if you don’t know them well, can arise from actions as simple as smiling freely, laughing at their jokes, or cheering them up if they seem down. Many schools have different methods of choosing their homecoming court. At some, the candidate must first be nominated by a friend or a fellow participant in a club or sport. At others, a committee of faculty members might select the nominees. Find out how nomination works at your school, and if needed, ask a friend or teammate to nominate you, just to ensure you’ll be in the running. At larger schools and universities, an application or petition is often required before you can be nominated. If this is the case, find a copy of or link to your application and complete it well before it’s due. Similarly, if a petition is required, fill it out and begin circulating it well in advance of the vote.
