Q: Take a section of ginger root and peel away the outer layer with a vegetable peeler. Next, use a small knife to cut away a 1 inch (2.5cm) cube of fresh ginger. You're only making 1 cup of tea with this recipe, so you don't need to include a lot of the actual root. You can find fresh ginger root at most grocery stores.
A: Scrub and cut a piece of ginger root.

Article: The International Paruresis Association (IPA) is a non-profit organization (based in the United States) that provides support and raises public awareness about paruresis. They offer free membership to anyone who is affected by paruresis, which includes the ability to attend their support group and workshops.Check out the IPA website at http://paruresis.org. The IPA provides a list of support groups online at http://paruresis.org/support-group-list/. Support groups are available in many countries around the world, and in multiple locations in Canada and the United States. Contact the support group leader for more information on meeting times and locations. There are many ways to find a psychologist to help you with paruresis. The IPA's website has a list of psychologists who specialize in the treatment of paruresis at http://paruresis.org/sbc-therapists/. You can also ask your family doctor for a referral or recommendation. Or you can search for a psychologist via your local medical listings or psychological association. When seeking the assistance of a psychologist, make sure you ask if they have experience treating paruresis before you start therapy. Cognitive behaviour therapy is therapy completed with a psychologist that helps you alter how you think and feel about urination and public washrooms. Because one of the anxieties associated with paruresis is the noise urine makes when it hits the toilet and/or water, one possible method to help overcome the anxiety is to create other sounds in the bathroom while you're trying to pee. You can do this by turning on a faucet, flushing the toilet, listening to music, or whatever else might work for you.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Become a member of the IPA. Join a support group. Seek therapy with a psychologist. Work through cognitive behaviour therapy. Create other noises while going to the bathroom.

Problem: Article: You will be given a debate topic this is called a "resolution." Your team must take a stance either affirmative or negative to the resolution. Sometimes you will be given the stance, and sometimes you will be asked to take a position. You may be asked to stand affirmative or negative. In LD (Lincoln-Douglas debate), the first affirmative speech will be at most 7 minutes long, and the first negative speech will be at most 6 minutes. The speakers then present arguments against the earlier affirmative or negative speech that was just read. Speakers must listen carefully and be able to counter arguments. There are two segments involving cross-examination (CX), in which the debaters are allowed to ask questions and openly debate the topic. This is most often called cross-examination, or cx for short, and occurs after the first affirmative speech, and the first negative speech. The best thing you can do to better understand LD/PF/Policy debate is practice and research. Because you may be asked to work on either side, in addition to preparing one speech, you must spend time thoroughly understanding all aspects of the resolution in order to write a second speech. Brainstorm the topic, and research it before you sit down to write. Write out a list of key components for both sides of the issue. If you are on a debate team, do this together. Each member could discuss the key component list, in order to figure out which issues you want to cover in each speech. Spend some time at the library or on the Internet using credible sources to research the key reasons that seem strongest. Use books, scholarly journals, credible newspapers, and the like. Be very cautious about unverified information bandied about on the Internet. You will also want prepare to deal with the strongest arguments your opponent(s) might make. Ignoring the other side's best arguments can weaken your rhetorical appeal. If you create a basic outline of the speech, your writing organization will probably be better when you actually sit down to write the speech in full. It's a good idea to memorize the ultimate speech or just rely on the outline as notes when giving it. A basic debate outline should contain six parts: An attention-getter, your stated stance (aff or neg)/ restatement of the resolution, your definitions, your value, criterion, and contentions. You can break each of those six parts into subcategories. It's often a good idea to write the contentions last, focusing on the value and criterion to hold it up first.
Summary: Understand how debates work. Research the topic very thoroughly with credible information. Write an outline of your speech.

Q: This technique works great with rough or reclaimed wood. The finished product will look rustic, and will look like the wood of a barn. Because this technique is designed to create a rustic look, you almost never have to sand. The roughness of the wood actually adds to the final, barn-like, product. The wood does not need to be perfectly clean, but if it's very dirty, wash it with soapy water. Let it dry completely before you begin painting. It is best to pour the paint on the center of the wood. Start with a small amount, and add more if necessary. You can use any type of paint with this technique, although most people find latex paint the easiest to work with. Add water if the paint is too thick. Adding water will also make it easier to drag the paint across the wood. Spread the paint across the wood, into the grain, and let it soak into the grooves. If you want a light coat of paint, you can spread the paint out thinly. For more coverage, don't spread the paint as widely. Repeat this step to fill in blank areas. Let the piece sit overnight, and then check it. The paint may take longer to dry in areas where you applied thick layers of paint. Make sure it is completely dry, and not tacky to the touch, before you move the wood. If you want the wood to have more coverage, or a brighter finish, add more paint and scrape it across the wood. Add as many layers as you like, but remember that the more paint you apply, the less the wood will show through.
A:
Use the paint and drag technique to create a rustic look. Pour a small amount of paint directly onto the wood. Use a wide putty knife, or scraper to drag the paint across the wood. Let the wood dry for at least 12 hours. Repeat as necessary.
