A cake that is warm or at room temperature will fall apart if you try to remove it from the pan. It must be entirely firm before you attempt do anything with it. Run a knife dipped in hot water along the edge of the cheesecake to loosen it from the sides of the pan. Re-dip the knife as necessary to prevent the knife from dragging at the cake. After loosening the cake, pop open the latch on the pan and lift away the sides. Don't use cold water to loosen the cake, since it isn't as effective as hot water. You can cover any cracks or gouges on the sides of the cake by using a knife dipped in hot water to smooth them over. Unlatch the pan and gently lift away the sides. A chilled cake will remain upright, rather than slumping to one side of the other. If you see any small cracks or spots that need correcting, run a knife under hot water and gently smooth out the rough parts. The spatula method requires someone else's help, since the cake might break if you try to support it using just two spatulas instead of three. Three spatulas should be enough to lift the cake and safely transfer it to a platter. Choose large, flat, thin spatulas that will easily slide under the cake. You may also want to heat the bottom of the cake before attempting the transfer. This will make it easier for the cake to unstick from the bottom of the springform pan. Very carefully slide them between the crust and the springform pan bottom. Keep sliding as far as you can, and try to cover as much area under the cake as possible. Space the spatulas evenly around the cake so no one spot is unsupported. Hold two of the spatulas and have a friend grab the third. Count to three with your friend and gently lift the cake onto a platter you have waiting nearby. Do it quickly, but carefully, to achieve the best results. Make sure you lift at the exact same moment, using the same speed, or else the cake will break. Once you have the cake on the platter, gently slide the spatulas out from under the cake.

Q: When the jackpot climbs for the world's biggest lotteries, most people forget about the smaller games. These games often have better odds and are more likely to pay out. Look for games that pick from a smaller set of numbers or fewer balls. On the downside, these games pay less in prize money than the most popular games. Regional lottery games have better odds than big games like Powerball and Mega Millions. For example, try a state pick-3 game. You only have to pick 3 numbers to win instead of 5 or 6. Many regional lotteries offer scratch-off games. These cards are instant and have better odds of awarding money than big lottery drawings. That means the payouts tend to be very low as well, but you could still win a big cash prize if you're lucky. Scratchcards are quick and accessible. Most lottery commissions have a number of different games to play. You could get cheap cards or play pricier games with bigger prizes. A typical scratchcard offers 1:5 odds at best, meaning that 1 in every 5 cards is a winner. This could mean winning a prize of $1 USD or a big jackpot. It depends on the game. Everyone has their eyes on the jackpot, but many lottery games offer smaller prizes as well. Read up about the rules of the game. They are typically posted on your ticket or on the lottery's website. Don't assume you lost until you have had a chance to double-check your ticket. For example, Powerball offers 9 ways to win. You can win a small prize by picking the number on the red ball. You could also win by picking 3 or more white ball numbers.
A: Invest in smaller lottery games with less numbers to choose from. Purchase scratchcards for a quicker and simpler way to play. Check your tickets for alternative ways to win.

Article: Whether you are dealing with your own parents, a spouse's parents, or the parents of one of your students, you may at some point be given unsolicited advice. If this happens, it's important to restrain your frustration and refrain from getting angry. If you are getting unwanted advice from a spouse's parents, talk to your spouse. It's best if your spouse addresses his or her own parents, rather than you telling them to stop. Remember that unsolicited advice is, at heart, an effort at showing concern. If you're getting unwanted advice from your parents or from a student's parents, you may need to communicate (calmly) that you feel frustrated by the constant advice. Politely tell the parent that you understand he means well, but that constantly giving unsolicited advice makes you feel threatened in some ways. Bring the subject up when you're both calm and when you both have time to sit and talk. Once you've addressed the unsolicited advice you've been getting, you'll need to make your request for the advice to stop. Ask the parent to trust you and respect you enough to make your own decisions. Let him know that you share his concerns and will work toward the same goals, but that you need the freedom to do it in your own way.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Be patient with unsolicited advice. Talk calmly with the person giving advice. Ask for trust and respect.
