INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Fill the saucepan with about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of vegetable oil. Test the temperature using a deep-fry thermometer. Alternatively, you can add a pinch of flour to the oil to see if it immediately browns and bubbles. If it does, then the oil is ready. Combine 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of cornmeal, and 3 lightly-beaten eggs in a large bowl. Mix the ingredients together until you've created a thick, even batter for the pickles. Use tongs or a fork to lower each pickle into the batter and move it around until it's completely covered in it. Hold it above the batter for a second or two so that the excess batter drips off the pickle. Once you've covered a sauce pan's worth of pickles in the batter, it's time to start frying them. Lower the pickles into the hot oil using a mesh basket or a set of tongs. Fry them until they are crispy and golden brown, which should take about three minutes, depending on the size of the saucepan. The pickles are done when they float easily on the surface of the oil. Once one batch of pickles is fried, move on to the next. Avoid crowding the pan or you'll bring down the temperature of the oil. The pickles will be soggy instead of crispy. Place them on plates covered in paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve the fried pickles immediately with a small bowl of ranch dressing for dipping.

SUMMARY: Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan until it reaches 375F (190C). Make the batter. Sprinkle the pickle slices with salt and pepper to taste. Dip each pickle slice into the batter. Fry the pickle slices in batches. Remove the pickles from the oil with a set of tongs. Serve.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you see someone being bullied, tell the person to stop. It takes courage to step in, but you can be someone's hero by stepping in. Often, it just takes one person standing up to the bully to make him or her stop. For instance, you could say, "Hey, leave that kid alone. What did he ever do to you?" Even if you don't step in, it's important not to encourage bullying. That means, you shouldn't laugh as someone else gets bullied. If you just watch and laugh, you are contributing, as you are providing an audience for the bully. Even just standing and watching without laughing can encourage the bully, as you are giving the person an audience. That doesn't mean you should just walk away. If you're not willing to step in, move on to the next step. If you're not willing to step in yourself, tell an adult. Find someone in a nearby classroom, or talk to your school counselor. That way, the adult can step in and handle the situation.

SUMMARY: Speak up. Don't be an audience. Tell an adult.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Evernote is a free organizer service that allows you to create notes and sort them into notebooks. You can use Evernote's virtual filing system to create a tickler file very similarly to a paper one. To get started, create twelve notebooks and label them for each month, preceded by the month number. Put a "0" before each single digit month so that they sort correctly. For example, "01 January, 02 February, 03 March ... 09 September, 10 October, etc." To create new notebooks, click the boxed arrow icon next to the Notebooks header in the left menu and click "New Notebook...". After you've created your notebooks, start stacking them. Drag the "02 February" notebook on top of the "01 January" notebook. You will be prompted to name the stack, so name it ".Tickler". The "." ensures that the Tickler collection of notebooks stays at the top of the Notebooks list. Click the notebook for the current month and then click the "+ New Note" button. Name the first note "01" for the first day of the month. Repeat this for each day in the month until you have a note for every day. When you are finished creating each note, click the "View Options" menu at the bottom of the window and select "Title (ascending)". This will sort the list of notes so that they stay in the correct order. Now that the structure is in place, you can start filling in your notes with the information you need. Like a physical tickler file, make sure that you put items in the day you need to start a task, not the date it is due. Add tags to help you search and sort your tickler file information. Use the alarm clock icon at the top of the note to set an email reminder. Once you work your tickler file into your morning routine, you won't need reminders anymore.

SUMMARY:
Create twelve notebooks. Stack your notebooks. Create notes for each day of the month. Fill your notes. Add reminders.
