Problem: Article: Get out a large food processor and measure all of the dry ingredients into it. You'll need 2 1/3 cups (291 g) of unbleached, all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon (4 g) of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) of baking powder. Put the lid on the processor and pulse the dry ingredients for about 5 seconds so they're combined. If you don't have a food processor, you can whisk the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Put half of the butter into the food processor and pulse the mixture for 2 seconds. Put the rest of the butter into the processor and pulse the mixture three times (for about one second each). The dough will look somewhat crumbly. If you're making the dough in a mixing bowl, use a pastry blender to cut the butter until it looks like coarse crumbs. Place 2 large egg yolks into the dough mixture and pulse the dough twice. Each pulse should last 1 second. You'll still see bits of butter, but the egg yolks should be incorporated. You can also stir the egg yolks in using a rubber spatula. Pour in 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of chilled white or cider vinegar and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of ice-cold vodka. Process the dough for one or two seconds or until the dough forms a shaggy ball. You might need to add another teaspoon of vodka to get the dough to come together. If you'd like to leave out the vodka, just add an extra 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 ml) of cold water. Remove the dough from the food processor. Sprinkle a little flour onto a work surface and place the dough on it. Use your fingers to roll the dough into a rough ball. Try to work on a cold surface to prevent the butter in the dough from softening. If you'll be making mini-tartlets using a muffin tin, just wrap the ball of dough tightly with plastic wrap. If you'll be making classic tart shells, you can divide the dough into 8 evenly sized pieces and press them into 5-inch (12 cm) circles). Wrap each circle of dough in plastic wrap. Transfer your dough to the fridge and chill it for at least 30 minutes.
Summary: Measure out the dry ingredients and mix for 5 seconds. Cut 1 cup (226 g) of chilled, unsalted butter into 1/2-inch (12 mm) pieces. Mix in the egg yolks. Blend in the vinegar and vodka. Shape the dough into a ball. Wrap and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.

Problem: Article: This is only possible if your school allows it, but many schools do as long as the jewelry isn't too flashy. A simple strand of pearls or diamond stud earrings can add a little feminine sparkle to your outfit. Alternatively, a studded bracelet or a chain necklace can add some edginess. Find simple jewelry that really encompasses your individual style, and use those to express your personality in ways that you can't with your clothing. It can be fun to have a "trademark" piece of jewelry that you're known for. You need something to carry your books in, so why not have some fun with it? Whether it's a pink floral backpack or a leather tote bag, use this necessary school supply as a way to have a little bit of fashionable fun. Make sure you know how many books you'll be carrying around on a daily basis before you purchase a cute new bag. It won't be very useful if you can only fit half of your belongings in it. Alternate your bags throughout the seasons. Not only will this keep you from getting bored with your book bag, but it'll keep your style evolving. Depending on your school regulations, you may be able to really set yourself apart with your shoes. From Converse sneakers to delicate ballet flats to combat boots, add some personality to your uniform by picking shoes that show off your individuality. Make sure that whatever shoes you choose, they are comfortable. No one will be admiring your adorable shoes if you're limping or wincing as you walk! Adding something simple, like a scarf, a belt, or a headband, can transform the whole outfit. Additionally, these little accessories can be found pretty cheaply, so you can gather an entire assortment. By adding something different to your outfit daily, you'll have more freedom with your look despite wearing the standard uniform pieces.
Summary: Wear your favorite jewelry. Carry a book bag that shows off your style. Focus on the footwear. Get creative with accessories.

Problem: Article: Make sure that you are taking in enough fluids to urinate frequently and always urinate as soon as you feel like you need to. Urinating flushes germs from your urinary tract system, which can speed up healing time for a UTI or prevent bladder infections in the first place. Learn forward slightly when you've finished urinating to ensure that your bladder is completely empty. Because sex can introduce germs to the entrance of your urinary tract, it's important to urinate right after sex. Don't lay in bed and wait to go or bacteria will have a better chance of traveling through your urinary tract. Avoid using the same paper to wipe towards the front. Instead, wipe from front to back so you don't introduce germs into the urethral opening. Discard the wiping paper after each wipe. Remember to wash your hands to prevent UTIs and spreading other illnesses.If your hands get dirtied with fecal matter, wash them before wiping again (it is fecal bacteria, E. coli that is the culprit in 80 to 95 percent of UTIs). Drinking cranberry juice regularly can help to prevent UTIs in women who have them frequently. You can also take cranberry in the form of a 400 mg tablet once per day.
Summary: Urinate frequently to prevent a bladder infection. Urinate after sexual intercourse. Wipe from front to back after you use the toilet. Drink 250 mL (1 cup) of cranberry juice 3 times daily.

Problem: Article: Although CBT involves behavioral components, behavioral therapy focuses strictly on behaviors. The main goal of behavioral therapy is to encourage you to get out there and do something you enjoy. Common symptoms of depression are avoidance and withdrawal, which actually make the condition worse. Through behavioral therapy you will be encouraged to take part in activities that would bring you joy and satisfaction. You can either get back into activities you once loved, or try something you have always wanted to experience. It's all about getting out there and creating a pleasurable experience for yourself to combat your depression. Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) has been shown to be effective in treating depression. This therapy focuses on the relationships in your life. Do you find that you have a hard time interacting or connecting with others? If so, this therapy option may work well for you. This structured therapy focuses on cultivating the skills needed to deal with relationship problems. In this therapy you will explore your current relationships and the problems you're experiencing. These problems can have a significant impact on your depression; they may even be a factor in how you're feeling. IPT can also help you recognize patterns in your relationships, particularly those that are adding to your depression. Once you recognize these patterns, you can begin to improve your relationships. Your therapist will also teach you how to effectively cope with grief and support ways in which you can get along with others. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) has been shown to reduce the risk of relapse in depressed individuals. This therapy is meant to help you control your thoughts and emotions. It is generally offered in groups and involves meditation. While meditating, you will be taught to focus on the present, rather than worrying about the past or the future. The goal is to stop your mind from wandering off and worrying, while also trying to inhibit negative thoughts and feelings.
Summary:
Try specific behavioral therapy. Contemplate trying interpersonal therapy. Practice mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.
