Article: Set your oven to 360F (182C) so it can heat up while you prepare your ingredients. If your oven runs a little hot, set your oven to 350F (177C), and if it runs a little cool, set to 375F (191C). Preheating usually takes about 15 minutes. Coat the bottom and sides of your casserole dish or roaster pan with cooking spray. Spread your cabbage evenly in the bottom of your dish. Drizzle olive oil over the cabbage. Lightly toss the cabbage to evenly distribute the oil. Arrange 1 to 2 pats of butter on top of the cabbage. Encourage a better distribution of butter by breaking pats into chunks and spreading these over the cabbage, or by using more pats of butter. Add salt and pepper to taste. To give your baked cabbage some kick, lightly sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes over the it. Toss the cabbage to distribute the flakes. This will prevent the cabbage from becoming too dry while it bakes. Do not overfill the pan. The water should be no more than a quarter of the height of your cabbage. Lid your dish and put it in the preheated oven. Allow the cabbage to bake for about 45 minutes. Open your oven and remove the lid with an oven mitt or potholder. Close the oven and continue to bake the cabbage until the water has evaporated. Stir the cabbage occasionally during this time with a utensil, like a wooden spoon. Baking the cabbage for about an hour and 15 minutes will yield a very tender, slightly browned cabbage. Remove the cabbage sooner for firmer cabbage. Serve your cabbage and enjoy. Use an oven mitt when handling the dish and place potholders beneath it to prevent burns and heat damage. Seal baked cabbage in an airtight container and save it for up to 5 days in your refrigerator. Frozen, your prepared cabbage can last up to 12 months.

Article: The federal government does not issue copies of birth certificates. You will need to request the certificate from the state of birth (not your current state of residence). Requirements for ordering and issuing a new birth certificate vary by state, so be sure to check before requesting. Some states will require you to indicate a specific reason for your request, and you may not be able to get a copy of your birth certificate (or a family member's) without providing a valid reason. Valid reasons may include: Passport applications Driver's licenses A child's school registration Social security benefits requests Employment benefits requests Other personal identification needs, especially those of an official or legal nature The federal Freedom of Information Act and its corresponding state laws govern open records requests, but only apply to public records. Birth certificates are not considered "public" under these laws. As a result, you are only entitled to receive another person's birth certificate if you have a certain type of connection to the person whose birth certificate you are requesting. These may include: Yourself, provided you are over 18 Spouse Parent Step-parent Sibling or half-sibling Son or step-son Daughter or step-daughter Grandparent Great-grandparent Power of Attorney Legal representative Note that this list varies by state. For example, in New York, you must have a court order to request a birth certificate as a spouse, child, or grandparent, but you do not need one as the individual named on the certificate or as a birth parent named on the certificate. The cost for a new birth certificate varies by state. Basic fees for a single certified copy range from about $5 to $40. Additional fees may apply if you request more than one copy. You may have to pay the full fee twice or you may receive a discount on the second copy, depending on state regulations. A processing fee between around $2 to $10 may apply for orders submitted online. Additional fees may also apply if you request an expedited service, special type of shipping and handling, or other special service. You may need to present one form of primary photo identification and two forms of secondary identification that show your name and address. Accepted forms of identification can vary by state. Primary identification may include: Driver's license State-issued non-driver photo ID card US Military issued photo ID Passport Secondary identification may include : Utility bills Telephone bills Recent letter from a government agency Government-issued employee ID badge Bankbook or checkbook Credit card or credit card statement Health insurance card Traffic ticket Recent lease A certified copy will have a raised state seal and the state registrar's signature. It may also be printed on security paper. Only a certified copy can serve as identification for legal purposes, such as obtaining a passport or driver's license. Uncertified copies do not suffice for these purposes, and their use is generally limited to personal records, such as genealogy projects. The restrictions for requesting an uncertified copy are usually more lax, and they may cost less to obtain than certified copies. In some states, this record is available to anyone who applies for it, regardless of that person's connection to the individuals listed on the certificate.

Know where you or your family member was born. Identify an acceptable reason. Know whether you qualify to request another person's birth certificate. Check the cost. Gather your identification documents. Determine whether you need a certified or uncertified copy.
Article: Children with ADHD are often overwhelmed by what might seem like simple tasks. You can make it easier to achieve tasks by breaking them down into smaller steps, sometimes called "chunking." Teachers don't tell students they have a 10-page research paper with citations due in a month, then walk off and expect success. They pass out written instructions with the assignment chunked into milestones with deadlines. Students get feedback at every stage of the process. Parents can do the same with chores, establishing routines that reflect consistent instructions. For example, if your child is responsible for loading the dishwasher, you might break up the task in this way: First load all the plates on the bottom. Now load all glasses on the top. Next is silverware and so on. To ensure the child heard and understood the instructions you gave, ask her or him to repeat back what you said. This allows you to verify that the child understood, so you can clarify if necessary. It can also help reinforce the task in the child's mind There are several types of reminders you can provide that can help a child with ADHD stay focused and on task. For cleanup tasks, you can create a system that uses color-coded bins or shelves. Written labels and pictures can also help the child remember what goes where at cleanup time. A checklist, day-planner, calendar, or chore-board can also be helpful for children struggling with focus issues. At school, try to organize a "homework buddy" to help remind the child of school tasks they need to accomplish. Young people in general don't have a very precise sense of time. Children with ADHD struggle with this even more. To help a child with ADHD follow instructions in a timely manner, its important to help with these clock issues. For example, set out a kitchen timer. Let the child know you'd like to see the task completed the before it beeps. Or, play some music the child is familiar with. Tell him or her you want the task completed before the music is over, or before a particular song ends. As the child accomplishes each step of the task, praise him or her. This will help build his or her self-esteem and sense of accomplishment. Providing praise at each step increases the chances of future successes, too. Making chores fun can help reduce the stress that an ADHD child may feel when taking on a new task. Here are a few ideas: Give instructions using silly voices. Try role-playing. Pretend to be a character from a book, movie or TV show, and/or invite your child to do so. For example, your child could dress up as Cinderella on chore day, while you play music from the movie. If the child starts to get stressed out, make the next chore a silly one, or assign a silly movement to do or sound to make while working. Don't be afraid to take a snack break if things get too rough.
