Problem: Article: Your parents may not like your friends because they think you're changing who you are to be with them. Help reassure your parents that not all changes are negative. Teenage years are a time for you to expand and grow; tell them why being with these friends is a positive change for you. If you're trying out for a new sport, tell your parents, "She's a star on the basketball team and is helping me practice for tryouts." If you are interested in joining a new club, say, "He's signing up for the yearbook committee too." If you have a new goal, let your parents know, "We both want to go to college for biology." Tell them how much you appreciate that they took the time to listen to you and to get to know your friends better. Let your parents know that your relationship with your friends is important to you but you don't want it to strain your relationship with them. If you're trying to convince your parents that you can pick your own friends, you need to show them that you're responsible. Offer to take out the trash or clean the dishes. Talk to them about the schoolwork you're completing. Help reassure them that you're responsible in your actions and the choices you make. Even if you have a well-planned discussion, talk maturely, and think you have a reasonable request, your parents may still dislike your friends and not let you see them. While this seems like the peak of unfairness you still have to respect their decision. They way you respond to this will likely influence their decisions in the future. Do not scream at them about how unfair they're being. Do not resort to name calling. Do let them know that you're upset with, but will respect, their decision. Do tell them that you hope this is something you can discuss again in the future.
Summary: Talk about how you're changing. Thank your parents. Take on more duties around the house. Accept their decision.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For thick buildup on porcelain surfaces, you'll need to use something a little more heavy-duty. Use a product like Comet or Ajax that comes in powdered form. The small particles will be able to penetrate deeper into stains that have set up on the surface of the tub to remove them. Powdered cleansers contain chemicals known as surfactants which have mild abrasive properties. This makes them much more effective for addressing hardened, stuck-on residue. Apply abrasive cleansers sparingly. For most jobs, a single canister be enough for a single thorough cleaning. Alternately, tough stains like rust and hard water residue can be treated with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and cream of tartar. Blend the two ingredients together until they're about the same consistency as cake frosting and spread them directly over the stains. After 10 minutes, buff the stains with a nylon brush or pumice stone until they're erased completely. Homemade concoctions like hydrogen peroxide and cream of tartar will be preferable for those who are wary of the health and environmental effects of chemical cleaning products. Hydrogen peroxide will also help treat age-related discoloration and lighten the finish of the tub. A moderate dusting should be enough to deal with most messes. The powder won't stick to the surface of the porcelain on its own, but when combined with a liquid it will form a paste that can be spread directly over stains. Be sure to cover the bottom of the tub, where accumulated mold can become a slipping hazard. Spray purified or ordinary tap water onto the cleaning powder. With the addition of moisture, the powder will take on a thick, foamy consistency. Rub this paste into the stains and give it about half an hour to take effect. You can also wet a clean sponge or washcloth and use it to rub in the cleaner until it thickens. Another option is to wet the tub before you apply the cleanser. Spray the tub with the shower head or fill a cup with water and pour it around the inside of the tub. Be careful not to add an excessive amount of water. The cleaner won't be as effective if it's too thin. Since porcelain has a hard, durable finish, you can scrub it safely with an abrasive implement without worrying about scratching it up. For best results, equip a pumice stone or stiff-bristled scrubbing brush. Work on the stains until they're completely erased, then rinse the tub with clean water and let it dry before using it again. If you don't own a dedicated scrubbing brush, you can use the rough green side of a kitchen sponge. Never use steel wool or any similar material to scour a porcelain tub. Even though porcelain is scratch-resistant, this can be enough to cause permanent damage to the finish.

SUMMARY: Pick up a canister of abrasive cleaning powder. Stick with natural alternatives. Sprinkle the cleaning powder around the stained tub. Add enough water to produce a paste. Scour the stains with a sturdy scrubber.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The laser driver is the electrical component that controls the functioning of the laser. The diode will likely need soldered to the laser driver. There should be two leads coming from the diode for this purpose. Use a soldering gun to solder the leads to the driver at the positive and negative terminals. These terminals should be labeled on the driver and extend to the edge of the driver for soldering purposes. The driver should not be connected to any power source until soldering is complete. After the diode has been connected to the driver, you can connect the driver to a power source. Batteries are the go to choice since they make your laser portable. You will need at least AA batteries to produce a burning laser. The driver will have leads for a power supply. These leads will need to be connected to a battery pack or directly to the battery. If the leads need soldered, you will have to use a battery pack. You cannot solder onto a battery. You can buy a laser casing online to house the parts of your laser. Alternatively, you can make a laser casing from things lying around your house. Popular items used to make casings include Altos mint cans, bic lighters, and the casings of weaker laser pointers.
Summary: Connect the diode to a laser driver. Power the laser with batteries. Encase the laser.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When gallbladder digestive fluid hardens into deposits, it can create gallstones. These deposits can range in size from the size of a grain of sand to a large golf ball. You will notice a yellowish tint to the skin or the whites of your eyes and white or chalky stools. Jaundice usually occurs when gallstones block the bile duct, causing a backup of bile into the liver. The bile may begin leaking into your bloodstream. Cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder. It can be caused by gallstones, tumors, or other gallbladder problems. These attacks often result in severe pain that can generally occur along the right side of the body or between the shoulder blades. This pain is often accompanied by nausea and other stomach discomfort. A buildup of too much bile in the gallbladder can cause gallbladder attacks. Different people experience gallbladder attacks differently. Although pain typically is on the right side, or between the shoulder blades, it may also feel like low back pain, cramps, or the like. Large or fatty meals can trigger a gallbladder attack. The attacks often occur in the evening, within hours of eating. Gallbladder attacks are usually a symptom indicating that something else is wrong with the gallbladder. If gallbladder function is compromised and the gallbladder doesn't empty as quickly as it should, a gallbladder attack may occur.
Summary:
Learn about gallstones. Watch for signs of jaundice. Identify symptoms of Cholecystitis. Know that diet affects your gallbladder.
