Problem: Article: Combine equal amounts of sugar and warm water in a bowl. Stir the mixture together until it forms a thick paste that you can easily spread in your hands. You can use either white granulated sugar or organic cane sugar for your scrub. Gently apply the sugar paste to your skin and scrub in small circles over the stain. The sugar will lift the turmeric stains and exfoliate your skin at the same time. Don’t scrub too hard or you may cause skin irritation. Mix hand soap and water together until you bring it to a lather. Rinse the paste completely off of your skin to get rid of the turmeric stains for good. Once your skin is clean, pat it dry with a soft towel. If you still notice stains on your skin, make more sugar scrub and clean the area again.
Summary: Mix equal parts sugar and water in a bowl to form a paste. Scrub your skin with the paste in circular motions. Rinse your skin with warm soapy water.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For fitness, you may need a rough sense of how many of your daily calories come from protein. This can help you calculate things like your macronutrient requirements. It's fairly simple to determine how many of your daily calories come from protein.  Figure out how many total grams of protein you consumed in a given day. You can use an online calorie calculator to measure the grams of protein in any given food you consumed. You can also use nutritional labels. A gram of protein contains roughly 4 calories. Multiply the total grams of protein by 4 to determine how many total calories in protein you consumed in a day.  To convert ounces to grams, it can be helpful to use an online conversion system. The number of grams in an ounce is inexact, but it's somewhere around 28.3. It can be difficult to convert by hand and may be easier to do the conversion with an online system. You may also have to round numbers when converting ounces to grams. It can also be helpful to know what percentage of calories from protein a given food contains. Start by multiplying the number of protein grams by 4 to figure out how many calories of protein the item has. Then, divide the number of protein calories by the total calories in the food and multiply the sum by 100. For example, say a food contains 200 calories and 8 grams of protein. Multiply 8 by 4, which is 32 protein calories. Divide 32 by 200, giving you 0.16. When multiplied by 100, this comes out to 16, so 16% of the calories in that food come from protein. If you want to apply your knowledge to your diet, spend some time figuring out your rough protein requirements for a healthy diet. You can do this by talking to a doctor or fitness specialist about your diet, lifestyle, and any goals you have regarding fat loss or weight loss. A fitness specialist or doctor can help you figure out roughly how many calories from protein you should eat and if what is a high or low percentage protein in a given food based on your specific needs. It is generally accepted that your diet should consist of 40% carbohydrates, 40% protein, and 20% fat. This will vary depending on your diet, so do consult your doctor or dietitian. However, becoming aware of the percentage of protein you are getting in your diet can be useful as many people have too much of at least one of these macronutrients.

SUMMARY: Calculate your total daily calories of protein. Determine the percentage of calories from protein in a given food. Know your rough protein requirements.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you're going to a social event, it's okay to practice. Many people feel more relaxed if they give themselves time to prepare conversation starters ahead of time.  You can write down a list of potential conversation starters. You could, for example, talk about an assignment if you're making conversation in class. You could even practice in the mirror ahead of time. While it may sound a little silly, if you're often nervous about starting a conversation this can be helpful. When trying to begin small talk, scan the room. See if there's anyone not talking to someone. Try to make brief eye contact and offer a smile. You can then approach this person to begin a conversation. When you approach the person, try a simple greeting. You can say something like, "Hi" or "How are you?" It can be hard to strike up a conversation with a stranger. However, there are many ways to initially engage with someone. Use a quality conversation starter to get the ball rolling.  Conversation starters should be personal and reflect genuine interest. Instead of commenting on the weather, mention something the other party can relate to. You should also bring up something of genuine interest to you. It's hard to feign interest, and people want to converse with those who are generally invested in them. For example, you're at a party at a friend's place. You see a casual acquaintance there who you know just took the bar exam. You're interested in law, as your brother is an attorney. You can say something like, "Hey, how did the bar exam go?" This is a great way to begin a conversation. If you're very nervous, you can look for something nearby to discuss. While this is less personal, it can work in a bind. You can, for example, comment on a painting on the wall.
Summary:
Practice ahead of time if you're prone to anxiety. Smile and make initial eye contact. Find a good conversation starter.
