Problem: Article: In order to make ethanol legally, you'll first need to get written permission from the proper agency. If you live in the United States, fill out the producer request form found at http://www.ttb.gov/forms/f511074.pdf and submit it to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) for review. If you're approved, you'll receive a document giving you the go-ahead to ferment and distill ethanol at home. If you live outside of the US, contact the governing body responsible for overseeing alcohol-related laws in your area for more information on how to legally produce ethanol. As an approved ethanol producer in the US, you'll be permitted to make up to 10,000 proof-gallons of ethanol per year. For best results, select sugary fruits and veggies that are slightly past their prime. Commercial-grade ethanol is most commonly made from corn, but you can get the same result using just about any type of produce with a naturally high sugar content. Check with your local grocery store or farmer's market to see if they have any spoiled produce you could take off their hands for free. Items like apple, bananas, pineapples, peaches, potatoes, and sugar beets are higher in sugar than other varieties of fruits and veggies, and therefore tend to give off more natural ethanol. Add your raw biomaterial until the drum is about of the way full. Be careful not to fill your container more than halfway, or it could overflow during the fermentation process. If possible, use a standard 55USgal (210L) steel drum. One of these will offer plenty of room and won't leach harmful contaminants into your biomaterial as it undergoes fermentation. If you can't find a steel drum, a simple wooden or plastic barrel will work just fine. Use a broom handle, wooden dowel, or similar implement to churn and compact your biomaterial until it forms a mixture with a uniform texture. This will help release more of its natural sugars and create room to add the other necessary ingredients. Keep mashing your fruits and veggies until there are no large chunks remaining. Rotten produce tends to smell pretty unpleasant. Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area, and consider covering your face to cut down on noxious odors.
Summary: Apply for authorization to produce ethanol in your state or territory. Gather old fruits and vegetables to use for fermenting. Fill a barrel or similar container with your rotten fruits and veggies. Mash the fruits and vegetables thoroughly with a blunt object.

Problem: Article: Taking a supplement packed with essential vitamins and nutrients is an easy way to boost your immune system. You can take individual supplements such as a vitamin C or zinc tablets, or you can find a multivitamin which has everything in one. If you're not a fan of fish, you can still get the benefits of all the essential fatty acids fish contains by taking an Omega-3 supplement, which has been proven effective in fortifying the immune system. A large array of supplements can be found at drug stores, supermarkets, and health food stores. Taking an immune-boosting supplement probably won't get rid of your cold any faster, but it will help you to avoid getting sick again. Garlic promotes the well-being of the heart and immune systems with antioxidant properties and helps maintain healthy blood circulation. One of garlic's most potent health benefits includes the ability to enhance the body's immune cell activity. Try crushing fresh garlic clove with a teaspoon of honey and quickly chew and swallow it. New research suggests that if you start taking zinc within one day of getting symptoms, you will probably recover one day sooner than expected and experience less severe symptoms. Honey is a natural immune booster, which also contains anti-viral properties. It has the added bonus of being very soothing on a sore throat, which is great news for cold sufferers. You can eat a spoon of honey on its own, or stir it into hot water or tea to make a soothing drink. Consider taking a vitamin C supplement, drinking orange juice and eating fruits with a high vitamin C content, such as oranges, kiwis, and strawberries. Although the effectiveness of vitamin C in stopping colds is widely disputed, many vitamin C proponents advise the use of vitamin C daily to reduce the duration of a cold. Echinacea is an herbal supplement which many claim as an effective immune booster and anti-viral. Although its cold-busting properties are disputed by experts, some studies claim that echinacea can both decrease the likelihood of developing a cold, while also reducing the duration of a cold. Try taking a couple of capsules of echinacea as soon as you feel the first symptoms of a cold coming on. Elderberries are another great natural immune booster, so try taking a spoon of elderberry syrup - which can be found at most health food stores - every morning, or add just a few drops of elderberry extract to your morning juice. Don't allow others to eat or drink from anything you have come in contact with, and change your pillow cases every day or two while you're feeling ill. This will limit your chances of spreading the infection, as well as help remove the pathogens from your environment. Wash your hands after you blow your nose. While this will not help you, it will reduce the likelihood of the virus being transmitted to someone else. Avoid human contact as much as possible. During all stages of a cold, the cold virus (usually rhinoviruses, or coronaviruses) can be easily communicated to other people. Staying home from work or school is the "nice" thing to do. If you must work, limit physical contact with people, try not to touch things and wash your hands often. This will lower your chances of getting sicker.
Summary: Take a supplement. Eat garlic. Try zinc. Eat raw honey. Get lots of vitamin C. Try echinacea. Take elderberry syrup. Stop the spreading of pathogens.

Problem: Article: Dabbing at the excess can make the removal process a little easier. Take a paper towel and dab at the grease as soon as it gets on your jeans. The carbonation of sparkling water makes it more effective than flat water in removing stains. Get a bottle or can of sparkling water and pour it all over the affected area. Coarse salt acts as an abrasive, which can be useful for stain removal. Sprinkle the salt onto your jeans and use a paper towel to rub the salt over the grease stains. Try using cornstarch or baking soda if you don't have coarse salt. These may also act as abrasives that can soak up some of the grease. Squirt a little bit of dish soap, laundry soap, or even hand soap onto the grease stains. Continue using a paper towel to rub the stained spots. Wipe off as much of the salt and soap as you can with a fresh paper towel. Then rub at whatever is left of the stain with a Tide-To-Go or Clorox Bleach pen. Hang your jeans on a drying rack for a few hours so that they can dry completely. They may dry faster if you hang them on a clothesline when the sun is out.
Summary:
Soak up as much of the grease as you can with a paper towel. Pour sparkling water onto the grease. Sprinkle coarse salt onto the grease and rub it in. Add some soap and continue rubbing. Use a stain remover pen. Lay your jeans out to dry.
