Article: Place 7 cups (1/2kg) of blackberries into a clean bucket for fermenting. Carefully pour 8 1/2 cups of boiling water over the blackberries. Wear oven mitts or hand protection and mash the fruit. Cover the bucket and let it cool to room temperature. This will make 2 to 3 750-ml bottles of blackberry brandy liqueur. Add 1/2 teaspoon of pectic enzyme to your bucket with blackberries and water. Stir to combine the mixture and cover it back up to rest for a day. The pectic enzyme will keep your blackberry brandy clear. You can find it at a home brewing supply store. Stir in 3 cups (600g) of granulated sugar till the sugar is mostly dissolved. Sugar is used to help preserve the blackberry brandy and sweeten the tart berries. Since the sugar acts as a preservative, you shouldn't cut back on the amount of sugar used in this recipe or your blackberry brandy may spoil faster. To encourage fermentation of the blackberries, stir in 1 packet (5g) of wine yeast and 1/2 teaspoon of yeast nutrient. Stir the mixture well and cover the bucket. Let the mixture rest for 4 or 5 days. Stir the mixture really well every day. You can get wine yeast and yeast nutrient from home fermentation stores. Pour the blackberry brandy out of the bucket through a clean mesh strainer. To keep all of the seeds out, line the strainer with a few layers of cheesecloth or muslin. Transfer the strained blackberry brandy to sterile bottles or a small jug. Refrigerate the blackberry brandy for 6 weeks before serving it. If you want to remove all haze or cloudiness from your blackberry brandy, carefully siphon or pour the blackberry brandy to a new sterile bottle so that the sediment is left in the bottom of the original bottle.

Problem: Article: You should pull each strip up off the card by placing your index finger under the end and pulling up. You can pull them off one at a time or three at once by using your index, middle, and ring fingers under the edges of three strips. Place the index finger of your hand that's not holding the Steri strips on one side of the wound. Then place the thumb of the same hand on the other side of the wound and press together. Applying the first strip at the middle of wound ensures that the wound closes evenly. Then you can apply the rest of the strips out from the original one in the middle. It doesn't matter if you move to the right or left (or top or bottom) first. While holding the wound closed, place one end of the strip above the wound. Press down as you lay the strip over the wound and secure the other end under the wound. There should be an even amount of strip above and below the wound. How many strips you need will depend on the size of the wound. There should be an 1/8th of an inch (1/3rd of a cm) between each strip and they should all be applied the same way. Apply enough strips so that the wound is closed all the way across. The strips that are placed parallel to the wound will prevent the ends of the original strips from lifting. This ensures that your wound has time to heal before the strips start come up. Place the strips inch (1 cm) from original strip ends.
Summary: Take the strips off the card. Hold the skin on either side of the wound closed. Start at the middle of the wound. Press the strips down. Place successive strips parallel to each other. Place strips parallel to the wound across the edges of the original strips.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While making good grades isn't everything, it's a part of standing out from the crowd. However, your professor will also likely notice if you work hard in the class to do your best, even if your best isn't an A+. The key is to push yourself to constantly learn more, and if you don't understand something, be willing to work with the professor to figure it out. Professors notice people who speak up in class and who actively participate and ask questions. Of course, you can't just spout off anything. Your professors expect you to know the material and then be able to discuss it in an intelligent, engaging manner. The more you stand out, the more your professor will notice you. Plus, they'll have something to say about you in your letter. It's a good idea to demonstrate a clear interest in a specific aspect of the course material so your professor will have something concrete to write about in their recommendation. You may not think your professor notices when you do little things like copy someone's homework or skip the reading. However, most professors have been in the business a long time, and they can usually tell when someone is a little dishonest, even if they're getting a good grade. Make sure that your integrity matches the grades you're trying to make. One way to help your professor remember you is to apply for something directly after having a class with them, even if it's early on in your college education. For instance, you could apply for an internship or a scholarship. That way, the professor has a reason to write you a letter, and then they can use that letter as a template when you need them to write others for you later.

SUMMARY: Make good grades. Participate in class. Show integrity. Consider applying for an early opportunity.
