Q: Your doctor will prescribe (or recommend an over-the-counter version of) an anti-worm medication. Some examples include Mebendazole, Pyrantel permeate, and Albendazole. You will be directed to take one dose of one of these medications (follow the specific instructions of your doctor) and then to wait two weeks. The way this medication works is that it kills off any adult worms. They are all eradicated, except for the eggs which will remain in your system. After two weeks have passed, you will be directed to take one more dose of the same anti-worm medication. The purpose of this second dose is to kill any new worms that have formed as a result of the eggs. The two week timing is extremely important, as it catches the worms at just the right phase in their lifecycle so as to kill all of them without needing any further doses after this one. Since threadworms are so easily passed from one person to another, your doctor will likely recommend that everyone in the household be treated with two doses of the anti-worm medication. It is better to be safe rather than sorry, and to prevent the hassle of someone in the household showing signs of an infection just after the initial person was cured. This is especially true if you are treating pinworm infections in children. Although pinworms can technically be treated with six weeks of very strict hygiene measures (because the lifecycle of the worm is six weeks), it is very challenging to adhere by these strict standards at home, particularly if children are involved. The benefit of medication is that it is extremely effective at clearing the infection in two weeks. Hygienic measures can then be used as a means to prevent re-occurence or subsequent infections down the road.
A: Take one dose of an anti-worm medication. Take another dose at the two week mark. Treat everyone in the household. Know that medication is your best bet.

Article: The methods above aren't the only ways to separate salt from water, they're just the most convenient for most people working at home. It's also possible to separate salt from water with other methods requiring specialized materials. For instance, a technique called reverse osmosis can remove salt from salt water by forcing the water through a permeable membrane. This membrane acts as a filter, permitting only water molecules to pass through and keeping dissolved contaminants (like salt) out. Reverse osmosis pumps are sometimes sold for residential use but are also often used for recreational purposes like camping. Pumps can be somewhat expensive, usually running several hundred dollars. Another way to separate salt and water is via chemical reaction. For instance, research has shown that treating salt water with a chemical called decanoic acid is a reliable way to remove the salt. After adding the acid and heating slightly, then cooling, the salt and other impurities precipitate (that is, solidify and sink to the bottom). When the reaction is complete, the water and salt sit in two completely separate layers, making it easy to remove the water. Decanoic acid is available from chemical supply stores usually around $30-$40 per bottle. Using the power of electricity, it's possible to remove particles like salt from water. This is done by submerging a negatively charged cathode and a positively charged anode in water and separating them with a porous membrane. The electrical charge of the anode and cathode essentially "pull" dissolved ions (like those that make up salt) toward them like magnets, leaving relatively pure water. Note that this process does not necessarily remove bacteria or other contaminants from the water, so further treatment may be needed to get drinkable water from this method in the wild. Recent research has been promising, however, suggesting new techniques that do kill bacteria as part of the process.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Use reverse osmosis. Add decanoic acid. Use electrodialysis.

Problem: Article: You can buy cane that's already got designs woven in, and this cane can be laid over top of a bead mold to create unique and intricate beads. For the bead molds, you can either roll your own basic beads as before (don't poke holes just yet), or you can use wooden beads for a more lightweight finished product. Refrigerate the cane for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing it. Cut slices from the cane that are about the thickness of a nickel. The number of slices you need for each bead will depend on the size of the bead and the design you're going for. Warm the slices in your hand and arrange them around the bead mold. Gently roll the wrapped bead around in your hand to seal the seams together. You can also use a knitting needle to roll the seams and seal the cane joints. When you have sealed the seams, shape your bead and poke the holes. If you used a wooden bead as the mold, poke small holes in the cane to access the hole that's already in the wooden bead.
Summary: Use pre-made cane.

Q: Some people find the idea of an older man dating a younger person unsettling. They may worry about you being taken advantage of, or getting pressured into committing to someone who is in a different life stage. Assure them that you genuinely have a connection with him and that you wouldn't be with someone who objectified you. Calmly break the news about your relationship to your parents. Give them some time to get used to it. They only want to protect you. They'll come around when they see that your partnership is loving and equal. If you have a sibling or a trusted family friend who can act as a go-between, make sure they also meet your boyfriend and let your parents know that they like him. Make sure that both of you have an equal role in your relationship. Just because he's older than you doesn't mean that he should get the final word on every decision. He's your partner, not your father. If the relationship gets serious, make sure that you discuss every issue that comes up together before deciding what to do. You should be comfortable expressing your opinions to him even if they're not the same as his. Know your worth. Absolutely refuse to be in a relationship with anyone who wants to control you. Some guys want a younger partner because younger partners can be easier to manipulate and control. Ditch older men who are jealous, controlling, who push you into quick involvement, who put unrealistic expectations on you, discourage you from interacting with friends and family. Dump an older guy who blames you for his problems, feelings, and other things that you could only control if you were a wizard. Run, don't walk, from men who threaten you, who put you down, who ignore your good news and accomplishments, or who physically harm you. Many acts that seem like signs of devotion are actually warning signs of abuse. A guy who drops in at your work to check in on you, who tries to protect you from everything, or who claims to be unable to live or function without you is manipulating you. If your partner is physically aggressive, call 911 or a domestic abuse hotline: 1-800-522-3304
A:
Expect some judgment from those you love. Maintain an equal partnership. Ditch the creeps.
