Add the sugar, vanilla and chopped chili pepper. Reduce the heat. Sterilize the jam jars during the cooking process. Remove the jam from the heat. Store in the refrigerator."
article: Cut into small pieces. You can skip cutting them if you like whole, chunky fruit jam. Pour water to cover. Place an upside lid or plastic food wrap over the bowl and let soak overnight. Add 1 cup of the soaking water. Also tip in the lemon juice. Bring to the boil. Simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the jam reaches setting point. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Ensure that they are dry before use. Pour into the jars. Seal and label. Allow it to settle for a few days, as the spiciness will tone down while mixing with the apricots. This mixture will last for up to a month or so. Keep refrigerated.

article: Removing the nits from the hair of the person affected won't make a difference if adult lice are still able to breed. As long as there are adult lice, new batches of eggs will continue to appear on the hair. These additional eggs will then hatch into more lice, which in turn will lay more eggs. This unending cycle is not broken until all adult lice have been killed. Submerging your hair underwater for an extended period of time will not kill or drown lice. Studies show that the lice simply cling to the hair or scalp while underwater and can survive underwater for several hours. The chlorine in pool water, unfortunately, is also not strong enough to kill lice. To kill adult lice, wash your hair, or that of the person affected, with over-the-counter lice shampoo. In extreme cases of head lice, prescription-strength head lice shampoo is also available. One option is Pyrethrum, which comes from chrysanthemum flowers that harbor natural insecticides called pyrethrins. Pyrethrins attack lice's nervous systems, though some lice are now resistant to the toxin. Apply the shampoo to dry hair. Then, wait ten minutes, add water, work into a lather, and rinse. You should then try to remove nits and repeat the process seven to 10 days later, to kill any remaining bugs. Although there are few clinical studies on its effectiveness, some people believe that you can kill lice by suffocation. The way this works is that certain products, they argue, clog the bugs' breathing holes. Lice can survive for hours without breathing, but eventually they will die. Try a petroleum jelly like Vaseline. Apply the jelly to your hair and scalp thickly. The jelly must remain for up to eight hours to kill, and you should wear a shower cap to restrict air flow. Keep in mind that Vaseline will be very hard to remove and will not kill the nits. Some people also advocate the use of common olive oil. Again, some claim that the oil plugs the insects' breathing holes and suffocates them. Like Vaseline, you should apply the oil to your hair and scalp, don a shower cap, and wait about eight hours before cleaning the oil. As a bonus, the oil should loosen the nits from your hair and make it easier to remove them. Mayonnaise may work as well. Mayo contains a large amount of oil, which seems to be the suffocating ingredient. Apply to your hair and scalp like Vaseline and olive oil. Anecdotal evidence suggests that regular, high fat mayonnaise works best. Sit down in an area with plenty of natural or artificial light. This will make it easier the person removing the nits to actually see them, as they are small and are glued to the hair near the scalp. Additionally, drape a towel over your shoulders to catch any hair or nits that fall off.

article:
Most of the strategies listed in Method 2 will help you focus when reading faster, but some tools will slow you down. Don't vocalize, highlight text, re-read material, or try to write down every detail you read. Using your finger as a guide can actually help you speed up since your finger can help guide your eyes along as you read. Consider the structure of the book by reading the table of contents. Sure, sometimes skimming stops you from understanding the text fully, so ensure you read parts carefully now and then, and if there's something new, check back and read a little bit. Spend time carefully reading the introduction and conclusion, as these lay out the main themes of the book. Skim through chapters that provide extensive drawings, illustrations, or lots of similar examples. Write down a summary after reading for a while. Be sure to note any key concepts or plot developments. This can help you focus while reading. If you're very pressed for time, you can get the main ideas of the book by reading the first and last sentence of each paragraph. Adjust your speed based on the information you're reading. For example, slow down when you encounter main arguments or new concepts. You can speed up again when you come to repeated or familiar material. Time yourself. Give yourself a set amount of time to get through a certain amount of text. Once time's elapsed, evaluate your speed. Keep timing yourself and you should see progress. For example, give yourself an hour to complete reading/skimming a chapter. At the end of the hour, determine if you got the main points of the chapter and understood the information. Practice adjusting your speed if you did not finish or had too much time left.
