Article: The abortion laws in Northern Ireland are different than the rest of the U.K. and termination is only permitted in very specific circumstances. An abortion is only permitted if the pregnancy poses serious, permanent damage to the mother's life or mental health. In Northern Ireland, rape, incest, and fatal fetal abnormalities are not sufficient grounds for obtaining a legal abortion. In addition, abortions can only be performed at or below 9 weeks of pregnancy. A total of 16 abortions were performed legally within Northern Ireland from 2014 to 2015. Although Northern Ireland has stringent abortion laws, it is legal to travel to another country in the U.K. to have an abortion. In 2014, 837 women were reported to have traveled to England from Northern Ireland to receive an abortion. Although a resident of Northern Ireland can travel to the rest of the U.K. to have an abortion, that does not mean that they will receive free medical care under the NHS. If you live in Northern Ireland, you will have to pay for travel, accommodations, and the cost of the procedure at a private clinic. These expenses can total around 900 or more.

Article: One of the most common ways to remove strawberry seeds is to blend the berries and then extract the seeds from the pulp. To do this, you will need five or more mature, ripe, and healthy strawberries. You will destroy some of the seeds in the process, but strawberries have lots to spare. Place the berries in a blender and blend the fruit on low speed for 10 to 20 seconds. Set the blender aside and allow the mixture to settle. Skim off the top layer of floating seeds. You can discard these, because they are likely broken or not viable. Pour the pulp through a fine-mesh strainer with a bowl underneath to catch the pulp. You can eat this, use it for baking, or make jam. Move to a sink and run water through the strainer to help wash away excess pulp. When you're done, the strainer should have a bunch of unbroken seeds left in the bottom. Spread these out on a piece of paper towel and allow them to air dry. Remove any large bits of pulp that are still mixed in with the seeds. Another way to remove the seeds from a strawberry is to scrape them off with a knife. To start, place about five ripe and healthy strawberries in an airtight container and place them in the freezer overnight. The next day, remove the strawberries from the freezer. With a razor, utility knife, or sharp kitchen knife, gently scrape the sides of the strawberry and pick out the individual seeds. Don't cut too deeply into the berry. Be very careful not to cut yourself. Place the harvested seeds on a sheet of clean paper towel and leave them to dry. Use the strawberries for eating or cooking. Another way to remove strawberry seeds is to cut off strips of flesh from the berry and allow them to dry. Once dry, you can easily rub the seeds off with your fingers. This method is safer than the scraping method. Use about four ripe strawberries. Place the strawberries on a flat cutting board. With a sharp knife, carefully peel off vertical strips (from the stem to the tip) from the outer layer of the strawberries. Cut just deep enough to get the seeds and a little flesh. Lay the strips seeds-up on a piece of clean paper towel. Gently press the strips down into the paper towel. Place the paper towel and the strips somewhere warm and dry, but out of direct sunlight. Leave them to fully dry out over the next few days. When the strips are completely dry, lay the paper towel down on a flat surface. Gently rub your finger over every strip of dried strawberry flesh. As you run your finger over the strawberry, the seeds will come loose. Instead of harvesting your own strawberry seeds, you can also purchase seeds from nurseries and online. Or, if you prefer, you can also purchase a seedling plant, which will be much easier to grow. If you buy seeds, you'll have to germinate them and transplant the seedlings once they sprout. When you buy strawberry seeds or established seedlings, you're more likely to get a recognized strawberry variety. On the other hand, if you harvest seeds from a store-bought strawberry, the resulting plant may not yield the same type of fruit as the parent, especially if the original strawberry was a hybrid.

Article: It's helpful to have your materials close by and ready for you to quickly and easily make the frame. You can get these materials at your local craft store. 4 wooden dowels that are 3/16 inch in diameter Hand saw Craft knife String, twine, or fishing line The vertical support of the kite will measure 24 inches. The horizontal support of the kite will measure 20 inches. Make sure to ask an adult for help when cutting the dowels. Measure the lengths of the dowels. Mark the dowels with a pencil at the desired length. Cut the dowels with a hand saw to prevent splintering. Use a craft knife to cut small notches into the ends of the dowels. Cut a notch on each end of the dowel perpendicular to the length of the dowel. The notch should go across the dowel, not be in line with it. Craft knives are very sharp, so make sure to get an adult to help you with cutting or cut the notches for you. Use a ruler and your pen, pencil or marker to make measurements on the two dowels. On the 24 inch dowel, make a mark 6 inches from one end. One the 20 inch dowel, make a mark 10 inches from one end. Line up the two marks you made on the dowels by placing the shorter dowel on top of the longer dowel perpendicular to it. The two dowels should make a cross. Use the string, twine, or fishing line to tie your dowels together where they meet in the center. Tie the string in a knot around the two dowels and then wrap the string around the dowels making an x shape as you wrap. Hold the dowels perpendicular in a cross shape as you wrap the string around them. Make sure you are wrap the string tightly. Tie a knot in the string after you have securely fastened the two dowels together. Do not cut the string off after wrapping the dowels together, you will string the frame together next. Bring the string up to top of the dowel cross and wrap it around the notch at the top. Pull the string around each of the four ends of the kite frame in a clockwise direction. Wrap the string around each dowel as you go around the frame. Bring the string back to the center to tie it off around the x in the center. The string should be in the shape of a kite. Pull the string tight as you pull it around the dowels so it is taut.
