In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Char cloth won't burn hot enough to light a log all by itself. Just like any fire, you'll need tinder (dry grass, bark shavings, newspaper), kindling (twigs and small branches), and of course the logs themselves. Char cloth makes it easy to start this chain and light the tinder. Char cloth is most useful during damp weather, when tinder is more difficult to light. . Find a fire pit or a large dirt area cleared of all vegetation. Avoid areas with overhanging branches. Stack your kindling, then the wood on top of it, allowing plenty of room for oxygen. Here are a couple straightforward methods: For cooking: Arrange a "teepee" of vertical kindling, then a larger teepee of firewood around it. For a long-lasting fire: Lay the kindling criss-cross, then criss-cross the firewood over the kindling. Place one square of char cloth on top of a bundle of tinder. Be ready to pick up the tinder and shove it underneath the kindling once it's alight. You can light char cloth with a flint and steel or other portable sparking device (including a lighter that's run out of fluid). As soon as a spark lands on it and forms a glowing red patch, you're good to go. There are two common ways to aim the spark: Hold the flint directly over the cloth, angled downward. Run the steel downward across the flint so sparks land on the cloth. Or hold the cloth against a sharp edge of the flint. Run the steel along this edge. Blow on the glowing char cloth to get the heat to spread across it. Pick up the tinder bundle and gently push the sides up and over the cloth, until they start burning. As soon as the tinder starts burning, place it and the char cloth underneath the kindling. The fire should now spread to the kindling, then the wood.
Summary: Gather firewood, kindling, and tinder. Build a Fire Lay the cloth on your tinder. Light the char cloth. Spread the flame. Place the tinder under the kindling.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Dye is translucent, so it adds to whatever color is already in the fabric. If you want to get the same color as on the package, you need to start with a white base. If you want a more muted shade, however, try using gray linen instead. You can try using this method to dye linen yarn. Wind the yarn around your arm to make a skein, then tie loose pieces of string around it to secure it. Put on some old clothes you won't mind getting stained. Cover your workspace with a cheap, plastic tablecloth or plastic bags. Finally, pull on a pair or plastic or rubber gloves. How much dye and water you use depends how much fabric you are dyeing. In general, you will need to use the below proportions to dye 1 pound (454 g) or 3 yards (2.7m) of fabric. Powdered dye: dissolve 1 packet of powder in 2 cups (475 mL) of hot water first, then add it to the 3 gallons (11.4 L). Liquid dye: pour 1/2 bottle of liquid dye into 3 gallons (11.4 L) of water. Double the amount of dye for dark colors, such as black or forest green. For smaller dye baths, you can use a large crockpot instead. You can take the dye bath off the stove, but it is better to keep the heat consistent over low to medium heat. Do not use the same pots that you'd use for cooking. For every 3 gallons (11.4 L) of water, you will need 1 cup (300 g) of salt and 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of liquid laundry detergent into the dye bath. For best results, add the salt and laundry detergent 5 minutes after you add the fabric. This 5-minute delay will help keep the dye job consistent. The salt and laundry detergent will help make the dye come out brighter and more consistent. Do not use soda ash like you would with fiber reactive dyes. Fabric dye is not the same thing as fiber reactive dye. The longer you leave the dye in the dye bath, the deeper the color will be. After 1 hour, however, you will have achieved the deepest possible result and should take the fabric out with a pair of metal kitchen tongs. Keep the water hot for as long as the fabric is in the dye bath. Stir the fabric often to keep the color consistent. Rinse the fabric in warm water first to remove any surface dye. Rinse it again in cool water to get the rest of the excess dye out. Keep rinsing until the water runs clear. Do not do this in a porcelain or fiberglass sink/tub or you risk staining. Wash the fabric by hand with warm water and mild detergent first. Rinse the fabric again in cool water, then hang it up to dry. You can use a dryer to speed up the process.
Summary: Choose white linen fabric for best results. Protect your skin, clothing, and workspace against stains. Stir the dye into 3 gallons (11.4 L) of water. Heat the dye to 140F (60C) in a pot over a stove. Add the fabric, then add some salt and laundry detergent. Leave the fabric in the dye for up to 1 hour. Rinse the fabric in warm and cool water. Hand wash the fabric with warm water, then rinse it with cool water.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Research indicates that women are six times more likely to have piriformis syndrome than men. Piriformis syndrome occurs most commonly in people between ages 30 and 50. The higher rate of diagnosis among women may be explained by the difference in biomechanics in men's and women's pelvises. Women may also develop piriformis syndrome during pregnancy. Because the pelvis widens during pregnancy, it can cause the attached muscles to contract. Pregnant women also often develop a pelvic tilt to accommodate the baby's weight, which can also lead the attached muscles to become tight. You may be more likely to be diagnosed with piriformis syndrome if you have certain other medical conditions, such as low back pain. About 15% of cases are due to a congenital or structural anomaly concerning the relationship between the piriformis muscle and the sciatic nerve. The majority of cases of piriformis syndrome are caused by what doctors call "macrotraumas" or "microtraumas." A macrotrauma is caused by a significant traumatic event, such as a fall or a car accident. Macro-trauma to the buttocks, which leads to inflammation of the soft tissue, muscle spasms, and nerve compression, is a common cause of piriformis syndrome. A microtrauma is a pattern of repeated minor injury to an area. For example, long-distance runners expose their legs to constant micro-trauma, which can eventually cause nerve inflammation and muscle spasm. Running, walking, climbing stairs, or even sitting for long periods of time can cause your piriformis muscle to compress and entrap the sciatic nerve, causing pain. Another form of microtrauma that may cause piriformis syndrome is "wallet neuritis." This condition can occur when a person carries a wallet (or cellphone) in his back pocket, which can press against the sciatic nerve, causing irritation.
