In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most local pharmacies sell this vomit inducing agent over the counter as a syrup. Ipecac syrup is made from a plant that contains chemicals that irritate your digestive tract and cause your brain to believe that you need to throw up. This is a convincing way to get your teacher to send you home from school. The teacher will likely think you are sick and send you home right away. Depending on the brand of ipecac syrup you buy and the way in which it is administered, there may be special instructions that you need to keep in mind. Taking too much ipecac syrup may have serious health effects, including possible damage to your heart and muscles. Generally, you should take one to two full glasses of water (8 to 16 ounces) to help the ipecac syrup induce vomiting. It may be an effective strategy for you to keep some ipecac syrup in your locker. This way you can excuse yourself from class for a drink of water or to retrieve a notebook and take your ipecac then. Milk and even milk based products may reduce the effects of ipecac syrup, so you should avoid these before taking it. Carbonated beverages, on the other hand, can cause your stomach to swell, which may cause discomfort. Generally, ipecac syrup should take effect and cause you to vomit in less than a half hour. If it does not, you can take a second dose with another one to two glasses of water. Do not exceed the label recommendations for how much ipecac syrup you take. While you might be able to get sent home simply by vomiting in the bathroom, if you want to guarantee being sent home, you should vomit in class and in sight of your teacher. Since ipecac syrup can take effect quickly, be sure you have quick and easy access to a garbage can.
Summary: Buy some ipecac syrup at your local pharmacy. Observe label directions. Take with a full glass of water. Avoid milk and carbonated beverages. Take a second dose if vomiting does not occur in 20 to 30 minutes. Plan your spew location for greatest effect.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you have a laptop, the USB ports are probably on the left or right side of the housing. Desktop users may find the USB ports on the back or the front of the desktop tower, though iMacs have the USB ports on the back of the monitor itself. There are two main types of USB ports found on modern computers: USB 3.0 A thin, rectangular slot that's about 3/4 of an inch (a little under two centimeters) wide. You should see a chunk of plastic in the upper half of this slot. USB 3.0 slots are found on the majority of Windows computers and on most Mac computers manufactured prior to 2016. USB-C A thin, oval slot that's about 1/2 of an inch (a little over a centimeter) wide. These are most commonly found on MacBook and MacBook Pro computers, though some Windows laptops also have USB-C ports. If your computer has both types of port, you're free to use whichever port you like depending on your USB flash drive type. Look at the metal connector end of your flash drive: If the connector is rectangular and has a piece of plastic taking up part of the connector, you have a USB 3.0 flash drive. If the connector is oval and has no piece of plastic inside of it, you have a USB-C flash drive. If the flash drive that you want to use is a USB 3.0 version but your computer uses USB-C ports, you'll need to buy a USB-C adapter and plug it into the USB-C port on your computer. This is most common on MacBooks and MacBook Pros from 2016 and up, though some Windows computers also have only USB-C ports. If you're using a USB 3.0 flash drive, make sure that the plastic piece in the flash drive's connector is at the bottom of the flash drive so as to slide under the piece of plastic that's at the top of the USB 3.0 port. USB-C flash drives can be inserted either way. If you're using a USB-C adapter, you'll plug your USB flash drive into a USB 3.9 slot in the adapter instead.
Summary: Locate your computer's USB port. Determine your computer's USB port type. Figure out which type of flash drive you have. Buy and attach an adapter if necessary. Plug your flash drive into your computer.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Tear the plastic using your fingers or the tip of a knife. Then, pull the plastic away from the cheese until the entire outer wrapping has been removed. Discard the plastic. Place the tip of the knife at the center of the wheel. Make a straight cut from the center to the outside edge of the cheese wheel. Then, place the tip of the knife back in the center and move the blade so it's at about a 45-degree angle from the first cut you made. Slice down into the cheese wheel and make another cut. Remove the wedge from the cheese wheel. Wrap the rest of the gouda in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. Some wheels of gouda come with a red or black wax coating that needs to removed before the cheese can be eaten. If your wheel of gouda has one, peel the wax on each wedge back with your fingers or a knife. Discard the wax pieces after you remove them. Divide each wedge up into 4 or 5 even horizontal slices. Take the end piece near the rind (the hardened outer part of the cheese) and cut it in half crosswise to make 2 pieces. The rind on the cheese is edible, so leave it on when you're cutting up the cheese. If you don't want to eat the rind, eat around it and discard it when you're finished. Place a grater over a plate or bowl. Hold the wedge of gouda in your hand and gently rub it down the sharp perforated side of the grater. Once you reach the bottom, lift the wedge of cheese off the grater, bring it back to the top, and rub it down the side of the grater again. Repeat until the whole wedge has been grated. Keep your fingers away from the grater while you're grating the cheese.
Summary:
Take off the plastic wrapping around the wheel of cheese. Cut the gouda into wedges using a sharp knife. Take off the wax coating if there is one. Slice the wedges of gouda horizontally for platters or sandwiches. Grate the gouda cheese to add to the top of recipes.
