INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Take a piece of rectangular paper and place it in front of you so the paper is in portrait format, with the longer edges to the side. Fold it in half lengthwise from top to bottom, so that the fold is at the "top" of the piece of paper. Your paper ship is now complete! It's ready to take out for a sail on the storm-tossed seas- O.K., maybe just the backyard kiddie pool.

SUMMARY: Fold paper in half. Look at your creation.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Pour the milk into a saucepan. Place the saucepan on the stove and heat the milk on medium-high to high heat. Once the milk reaches a boil, allow it to boil for a full 1 to 2 minutes. Note that high-fat dairy products, like cream, can be boiled with little to no problem. As a result, you may find that low-fat milk takes very little time to boil and curdle while whole milk will take longer. Milk will not begin to curdle until it reaches a temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit (82 degrees Celsius). To maximize and speed up the curdling effect, let the temperature climb even higher. You can monitor the temperature using a clip-on instant food thermometer. Stir the milk occasionally but not frequently. Stirring will spread the heat throughout the liquid, but it will also cause the milk to take longer to reach a boil. Leave the saucepan uncovered. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the milk stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes. Do not stir the milk as it stands. If you would like the milk to curdle more, you can let it stand for a longer period of time or return it to the heat and continue boiling it until larger curds form. If you need to separate the solid curds from the liquid whey, you can pour the curdled milk into a cheesecloth. Wrap the cheesecloth up and let the liquid drain out into a sink or large mixing bowl. Understand that using heat only without using acid will produce softer, less-formed curds. This method is best used if you need grainy or soured milk rather than actual curds. If you do not need to strain the curdled milk, you can skip this step and use it as is.

SUMMARY: Boil the milk. Let stand. Strain, if necessary.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Whether you've just gotten your tattoo or have had it for longer than you'd like, using salt to remove a tattoo is a dangerous proposition. Here's why: Your skin has effectively two layers the dermis, or inner part of the skin, and the epidermis, or outer layer of your skin. When you get a tattoo, the ink travels past the epidermis, or superficial layer of skin, and into the dermis. Rubbing salt onto the epidermis is easy but useless. You need to get the salt into the dermis; even if you did manage to rub away the top layer of your skin to get at the ink, it's probably not going to end well. Rubbing your tattoo with salt will give you a pretty nasty road rash. It may also cause pigmentation of the skin, wrinkling, and possibly scarring. Know that doing this procedure at home can have significant adverse consequences, and may make your tattoo look even worse. Although there is a dermatological procedure that uses salt as a slight abrasive, there is probably one glaring reason why salt is thought to be a good tattoo eraser. When you get a tattoo, you're told not to submerge your tattoo in water, especially in salt water. If you're not supposed to soak your tattoo in salt water if you want to keep it, maybe you could soak your tattoo in salt water if you didn't? That's the reasoning at least. Soaking your tattoo in salt water, in fact, will only cause the ink to disperse, run, or possibly fade. It won't cause your tattoo to magically vanish. It's likely your tattoo will look worse after you soak it in salt water if your tattoo is newly inked. If you've had your tattoo for several weeks or longer, it's likely that submerging your tattoo in salt water will have no effect. Trying DIY salt abrasion, also called salabrasion, is probably not the best idea. As mentioned earlier, you're likely to hurt yourself and do more harm than good. But there are professional procedures out there that use salabrasion, and some of them can be promising. According to a German study in the National Institute of Health database, salabrasion had "perfectly acceptable to good results" in tattoo removal. In this study, wrinkling did occur, but not scar formation. In one salabrasion procedure, a topical anesthetic is applied to the top of the tattoo. An ink gun-like device used a saline solution to effectively puncture the dermis and draw ink up instead of deposit ink in the skin. Effectively this is like getting a tattoo in reverse. The procedure heals in 6 to 8 weeks. Ask to see testimonials before agreeing to the procedure.

SUMMARY: Be very careful about rubbing salt into your tattoo. Know why this myth started. Know that procedures that use salt as an abrasive do exist.

Hold the floss firmly between your thumb and your forefinger and gently guide the floss between all your teeth using a gentle back and forth motion. You need to curve the floss around the bottom of each tooth. Once the floss is between the teeth, use a gentle up-and-down motion to rub each side of each tooth. When you are done with one tooth, unwind more floss and move on to the next tooth. Regular teeth cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that you can't remove by brushing alone. This keeps your teeth as healthy as possible. Additionally, your hygienist and dentist can give you recommendations on how to better care for your teeth.
