Problem: Article: Once the edges of the mixture have begun to freeze, remove it from the freezer, and stir it well with a handheld mixer. Make sure that you break up any frozen bits, as this is what will give your ice cream a smooth consistency. Cover and return to freezer for two to three hours, stirring every 30 minutes or so while the mixture freezes. You can also use a spatula, wire whisk, or a stick-blender to stir the mixture, however using these methods will require a little more elbow grease. Use a handheld mixer for the best, smoothest results. Stirring the ice cream mixture while it freezes is important when making ice cream without an ice cream maker. If you just leave the ice cream mixture in the freezer until it is frozen, you will end with a solid block of icy dairy, which is lumpy and difficult to scoop. Mixing the ice cream while it freezes prevents large ice crystals from forming and produces a smooth and creamy ice cream.
Summary: After forty-five minutes in the freezer, check the mixture.

Problem: Article: The effective interest rate attempts to describe the full cost of borrowing. It takes into account the effect of compounding interest, which is left out of the nominal or "stated" interest rate. For example, a loan with 10 percent interest compounded monthly will actually carry an interest rate higher than 10 percent, because more interest is accumulated each month. The effective interest rate calculation does not take into account one-time fees like loan origination fees. These fees are considered, however, in the calculation of the annual percentage rate. The stated (also called nominal) interest rate will be expressed as a percentage. The stated interest rate is usually the "headline" interest rate. It's the number that the lender typically advertises as the interest rate. The compounding periods will generally be monthly, quarterly, annually, or continuously. This refers to how often the interest is applied. Usually, the compounding period is monthly. You'll still want to check with your lender to verify that, though.
Summary: Familiarize yourself with the concept of the effective interest rate. Determine the stated interest rate. Determine the number of compounding periods for the loan.

Problem: Article: Set it to the highest heat setting. If it has a steam setting, turn this off. Dry heat is best for removing the melted plastic or wax. An alternative for the brown paper bag is wax paper. Be careful not to use thin paper, as it can overheat the plastic or wax and cause a worse mess. Avoid paper with any writing on it, because the heat can cause the ink to transfer onto the fabric or carpet. Don't push down too hard or stay on one section too long, because you do not want the substance to melt farther into the carpet or fabric. The goal is to get the plastic or wax to stick to the bag. This should be done while the paper is still warm from the iron. The plastic or wax should stick to the paper, leaving the surface clean. If there are still bits stuck to the carpet afterward, try gently scrubbing the area with a carpet cleaner, fabric cleaner, or rubbing alcohol. The remaining pieces may budge with a little bit of friction. If the plastic or wax still doesn't come off, try freezing it with an ice pack and breaking it apart once it's frozen. Vacuum the pieces when you're finished.
Summary:
Grab your iron and plug it into an outlet near the stain. Cover the stain with a paper bag. Gently iron over the paper. Gently peel the paper bag off the fabric or carpet. Repeat as necessary.
