Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Write your thought(s) down. Imagine the thought. Stop the thought. Practice.

Answer: Your thoughts are distracting you from your daily activities and causing you unhappiness, anxiety or worry, so the first thing you must do is put them on paper. Write down all your upsetting thoughts in order of the most stressful to the least stressful. For example, if you keep thinking you might lose your job, your list could look something like this: 1. How will I be able to pay my bills and take care of my child? 2. What if I can't find a new job? 3. I'll be so embarrassed if I'm escorted by security out of the office with my belongings in a box. You're going to begin your practice with the least-stressful thought. Sit or lie down in a private place. Close your eyes. Imagine a situation in which you might have this stressful thought. Set a timer, watch or other alarm for three minutes. Then focus on your unwanted thought. When the timer or alarm goes off, shout "Stop!" That's your cue to empty your mind of that thought. Think of one intentional thought (the beach, etc.) and keep your mind fixed on that image or thought for 30 seconds. If the upsetting thought comes back during that time, shout "Stop!" again. Practicing meditation or yoga may help calm and clear your mind. You can stand up when you say "Stop" if you'd like or snap your fingers or clap your hands. These actions reinforce the "Stop" command and further interrupt your thought. Instead of using a timer, you can tape-record yourself shouting "Stop!" at one-, two- and three-minute intervals and use the recording to do the thought-stopping exercise. When you hear your recorded voice say "Stop," empty your mind for 30 seconds. Repeat this exercise until the thought goes away on command. Then try the exercise again and interrupt the thought by saying "Stop" in a normal voice rather than a shout. Once your normal voice is able to stop the thought, try whispering "Stop." Over time, you can just imagine hearing "Stop" inside your mind. At this point, you should be able to stop the thought whenever and wherever it occurs. Once you've achieved that level of control, choose the next thought on your list and continue thought-stopping. This method will not stop unwanted thoughts immediately. What it does do is help "put brakes" on these thoughts and gradually lessen the hold they have over you. In this practice, there also has to be acceptance that these thoughts are here at present and to tolerate them. Thoughts can be very distracting, distressing, and when a person feels out of control about it, it is all the worse. But accepting the fact they are there, present, and to be less reactive about it actually helps them go away.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use the microwave for single servings only. Toss the pasta with sauce or oil. Set the microwave to medium-low power. Cover the pasta. Heat in short bursts.

Answer: Microwaves cook unevenly, especially if the pasta dishes contains cheese or vegetables. When reheating a large portion, use the oven instead for greater control. Avoid using the microwave for cream sauces, wine and butter sauces, or other sauces likely to separate. If the pasta already includes sauce, just stir it to distribute it evenly. If the pasta is plain, stir in a little sauce or olive oil. This will help keep the pasta moist. A full power microwave will likely turn your pasta to mush. Reduce it to 50% power or below. Place the pasta in a microwave-safe container, preferably a round one to avoid uneven heating at corners. Cover it with one of the following two methods: Cover with plastic wrap, but leave one corner open for steam to escape. This traps heat, warming the pasta more evenly. Cover with a damp paper towel. This steams the pasta as it heats up, adding moisture to dry or sauce-light noodles. Heat the pasta for about 1 minute, then check on its progress and stir. If necessary, continue heating for 1530 seconds at a time. If your microwave does not have a turntable, stop and rotate the dish halfway through.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn the basic phrase. Change Khmer phrasing based on gender. Learn to say "love" in Khmer. Put it all together.

Answer: is "I love you" written in Khmer. Its phonetic pronunciation is "khnhom sralanh anak," but remember, there is no standard way of rendering it phonetically, so you might see it written differently. Some native Khmer speakers render it "knhom srolanh nak." "Knhom" (also rendered "khnhom" or "kyom" or " is the word you use for "I" if you want it to be gender-neutral or generic. Pronounce it "ken-yooom." "Nak" is the word you use for "you" if you want it to be gender-neutral or generic. The "k" is very subtle (almost imperceptible): say it like "naHk" Depending on whether you are a male or female, and whether the person you are addressing is male or female, you should use different words for say the phrase "I love you." "Bong" is the word you use for "I" when you are a male referring to yourself or the word for "you" when you're speaking to a male lover. "Oun" is the word you use for "I" when you are a female referring to yourself or the word "you" when you are speaking to a female lover. These words will be necessary to say "I" and "you" in Khmer when you say the phrase "I love you." Love in Khmer is written . Regardless of whether you are male or female, or if the object of your affection is male or female, "love" is pronounced the same way. One common way to phonetically render the Khmer word for "love" is "srolang." Another way is "srolahn." As you say the "r," slightly roll it with your tongue; the "g" falls off the end and is almost imperceptible (which is why some renderings leave it off altogether). To some English speakers, the word "srolahn" is reminiscent of the German word "Fraulein," which means "Miss." Now that you know the appropriate words for male and female genders, you can put these words together with "love" to say "I love you" to the object of your affection. The translation for "I love you" in Khmer is "Kyom srolang bong" which is if you say it to a male. (Kyom is the gender-neutral form of "I.") If you are a female addressing a male lover, say, "Oun srolang bong." If you say it to a female you will say "Kyom srolang oun." (Kyom is the gender-neutral form of "I.") If you are a male addressing a female lover, say, "Bong srolang oun."

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Feel the person's forehead or neck. Check if the person's skin is flush or red. Notice if the person is lethargic. Ask the person if they feel achy. Find out if the person is dehydrated. Ask the person if they feel nauseous. Notice if the person is shivering and sweating. Treat any febrile convulsions that last less than three minutes.

Answer:
The most common way to check for a fever without a thermometer is to feel the person's forehead or neck to see if it feels hotter than usual. Use the back of your hand, since the skin on your palm isn't as sensitive as these other areas. Do not feel their hands or feet to check for a fever, as these can feel cold when a person's body temperature is in fact high. Keep in mind this is the first step to figuring out if something might be wrong, but it can't accurately tell you if someone has a dangerously high fever. Sometimes a person's skin can feel cool and clammy when they have a high fever, and sometimes their skin might feel very hot even though they don't have a fever. Make sure to check the person's skin temperature in a room that isn't too hot or cold, and don't check right after the person has been sweating due to exercise. A fever will usually cause the skin on the person's cheeks and face to turn red. However, this may be more difficult to notice if the person has darker skin. A fever is often accompanied by lethargy or extreme fatigue, like moving or speaking slowly or a refusal to get out of bed. Children with fever may complain of feeling weak or tired, refuse to go out and play or have a loss of appetite. Body aches in the muscles and joints also often happen at the same time as a fever. Headaches are also commonly experienced by people along with fever. When a person has a fever, it's easy for him or her to become dehydrated. Ask the person if they are very thirsty or if their mouth feels dry. If the person has urine that is bright yellow, this could be an indication that he or she is dehydrated and may have a fever. Darker color urine than normal is also an indication of more serious dehydration. Nausea is a key symptom of a fever and other maladies like the flu. Pay close attention if the person feels nauseated or is vomiting, and can't keep food down. As the person's body temperature goes up and down, it's common for the person to shiver and feel cold, even when everyone else in the room feels comfortable. The person may also alternate between feeling hot and cold as the result of a fever. As your temperature goes up and down it is common to shiver and feel very cold even when those around you are feeling comfortable. A febrile convulsion is a kind of shaking fit that happens either just before or while a child has a high temperature. If a fever is over 103F (39.4C), it may also cause hallucinations. About 1 in 20 children under 5 years old will have a febrile convulsion at some point. Although it can be upsetting to watch your child experience a febrile convulsion, it does not cause permanent damage to your child. To treat a febrile convulsion: Place your child on their side in a clear space or area on the floor. Do not try to hold your child during the fit and do not try to put anything in your child's mouth during the fit, as they will not swallow their tongue. Stay with your child under the convulsion stops after 1-2 minutes. Lay your child on their side in a recovery position while they recover.
