To make these delicious coconut candy squares, you will need: 1 1/2 cups of shredded coconut 2 cups of white sugar 1/2 cup of light corn syrup 1/2 cup of water 2 tablespoons of butter 1/4 teaspoon of salt 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda Before you begin, line a 9x13" cake tray with aluminum foil and spray the foil with a non-stick cooking spray. Set it aside while you prepare the candy mixture. Place the saucepan over a medium heat and stir continuously until the sugar dissolves. Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature of the mixture -- you want it to reach 240F (116C). Once the mixture reaches 240F (116C), add the butter and stir until it's melted and combined. Allow the mixture to continue boiling (without stirring) until it reaches 260F (127C). Once the mixture reaches 260F (127C), remove the saucepan from the heat and add in the shredded coconut, baking soda and salt, stirring well to combine. The mixture may foam a little at this point. Use a spatula to smooth the mixture into an even layer, then leave to set for several hours at room temperature. Once set, cut into small squares and enjoy!

Q: Pick out the woody bits of stem and separate the tender leaves and chop the parsley into 1/4" pieces. Then, blanch the parsley in boiling water for 20 to 30 seconds. Arrange the blanched parsley across the tray. Try to keep it flat and evenly spaced, with no big clumps of parsley sticking together. Turn the oven on to the lowest possible setting. The best time to do this method is after the oven has been turned off, following other baking. Otherwise, always err on the side of taking longer than having it too warm and burning the parsley. The exact time will vary based on the relative humidity in your area and the altitude. Keep an eye on it, because it might dry more quickly. It's ready when it crumbles easily in your fingers. Crush the parsley with your hands or in a mortar and pestle. Remove any remaining stalks. Store in a dry, dark place, or even the freezer. Parsley dried this way can be good for long periods of time, but will start to lose its flavor after several months.
A: Wash fresh parsley in cold water. Place brown paper across a baking sheet. Place in the oven. Dry the parsley for 2-4 hours. Remove from the oven. Place the crushed, dried parsley into a storage container.

Article: Female cats are polyestrous, which means they go into heat many times a year. This is in contrast to dogs, which experience a diestrus cycle, coming into heat only twice a year. While in heat, your cat's womb will become swollen as its blood-supply increases in anticipation of a pregnancy. You will not be able to observe this, however, as there are no external signs of this process. The breeding season of feral cats is between spring and late summer. This means kittens are born away from the harshest of the winter weather, when their chances of survival would be reduced. Artificial light can fool a pet cat into thinking it is not winter. As such, if your cat spends much time indoors, the changing of seasons will have little or no effect on her reproductive cycle. Expect a cat that lives indoors to come into heat all year around. The reproductive cycle of a female cat is, on average, 21 days. Of these three weeks, expect her to spend as many as seven days in heat.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Understand the estrus cycle. Understand the role of seasons. Know the time frame.

Article: Your parents might give you an allowance. A high allowance will work for getting rich quick. Chores without being asked are great bonus points. Even if you get five bucks a week, know that this money can add up very, very quickly. You never know what you might find! Look anywhere for loose change. Just make sure that your parents aren't planning to use that extra change. If you don't have an allowance, ask for one, but don't bother your parents. To convince your parents that you deserve a bigger allowance, do your chores extra well, do extra chores that you don't really need to do but need to be done, and be super helpful. Make an agreement with your parents. For example, tell your parents that you'll earn at least an "A" or "B" in all of your classes if you can get an extra $20 per month. Then, both parties are happy: Your parents are happy you're doing well in school, and you're happy that you get that extra dough. This works especially if you have a means of transportation, such as a car, but it's still doable even if you don't. Walking places is an option, as is taking the bus or asking a friend for a ride. Cleaning your parents' house can earn you cash in a few hours, especially if you do a good job. Make sure to hit the windows, the awnings and gutters. Make sure to get the inside of the house as well as the outside. Your parents probably don't want to do the kitchen or the bathroom, but because you're super-motivated to make some extra money, it won't be a problem for you. Get the proper cleaning supplies (all-purpose cleaner, rags, gloves, etc.) and get to work!

Do some chores around the house. Check for change in the car and under the sofa. Ask your parents to give you a bigger allowance. Run errands for your parents. Clean your house.
