Article: Scoop 1 tablespoon (5 g) of ground milk thistle seeds into a tea bag or filter and put it in a tea pot. Pour 2 cups (470ml) of boiling water into the pot and let the tea steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Take the tea bag out and sip the tea slowly. To flavor the tea, consider adding lemon or honey. Measure 5 ounces (147 ml) of alcohol that's at least 100-proof into a glass container. Add 1 ounce (28 g) of harvested milk thistle seeds and screw a lid on the container. Shake the container every day and let the tincture rest for at least 5 to 6 weeks. Strain the tincture before you're ready to use it. Store the tincture for several years in a dark container with a dropper. To take the tincture by mouth, squeeze 1 to 2 drops onto your tongue 2 to 4 times a day. Place your seeds into a blender or food processor and put the lid on. Pulse the seeds until they're ground into a fine powder. Store the powder in an airtight container for up to 6 months. To use the powder, mix 2 to 3 tablespoons (16 to 24 g) into a smoothie.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Brew tea to enjoy the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Make a tincture to mix into lotions, salves, or bath salts. Grind the seeds into a powder for liver pain.

Problem: Article: In South America, most countries speak Spanish, although in Brazil, Portuguese is the primary language. Esperanto = Pardonon, kie estas la banejo? (par-DOH-nohn, KEY-eh ESS-tahs la bahn-EY-yo?) Portuguese = Com licenca, onde fica o banheiro? (com lee-SAY-nsa, OHN-jee FEE-cah oo bah-YAY-roo?) Spanish = Perdone/Disculpe, Donde esta el bano?(Formal) (Per-DON-eh, DOHN-deh es-TAH el BAHN-yo?)
Summary: Prepare by finding out which languages are spoken in the countries that you will visit. Study these translations before you leave for your trip to South America:

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Keep maintaining the 90-degree angle of your hips and legs. You'll know when you've completed this step once your knees are directly above your nose and your legs are straightened parallel to the mat. Press your palms into the mat to help lift your legs. Make sure that your chest stays low and your neck remains elongated and your hips don't move out of alignment. Once your legs have reached a 60-degree angle from the ground, hold the position for 3 seconds.

SUMMARY: Exhale as you lift your hips off of the mat and curl your abs in. Inhale and elevate your legs toward the ceiling.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You will need a go-kart frame that is capable of housing the size and weight of your engine. Most 5 to 7 horsepower engines will fit a standard size kart. The vertical shaft engine you choose can be from a riding mower or a push mower, either will work for your go-kart. Larger engines in the 13 to 22 horsepower range, which you can find on riding mowers, may destroy the transmission or kart. You will want one that can support both your vertical shaft engine and lawnmower gearbox comfortably. Your gearbox should will need to have non-trans axle set-up. This will give you a better sense of the dimensions that will be comfortable for your frame. Most frames have a width that varies between 1/3 and 2/3's the wheelbase of your go-kart, with wider models giving better stability.
Summary: Measure the size of your engine. Pick a suitable go-kart frame. Draw out a true to size basic design of your frame with chalk.

Not only do short showers save water, they also save the energy that it takes to heat that water up. You should also keep in mind that baths consume a lot more water than short showers do. Choose water-conserving shower heads. According to National Geographic, if you use a low-flow showerhead, you can actually save 15 gallons (56.8L) of water if you take a ten minute shower. Roughly 22% of home water consumption comes from laundry. Always make sure to put them on the right setting too. If you do wash a smaller load of laundry, make sure to activate the 'small' or 'medium' load setting. (Some washers, especially front-loading machines, automatically adjust the water level.) A lot of the water we consume is actually wasted because of leaks we may have in our systems. Do regular maintenance on your pipes, checking to make sure that you don't have any leaks. If you do--repair them immediately so that less water gets wasted. It's important to remember that not all climates are meant to have green grass in them. To really conserve water, fill your yard with plants that naturally thrive in your climate. You will find that you have relatively little landscaping work to do, which means you will be saving both water and energy. Washing a standard-sized vehicle generally takes about 150 gallons (567.8L) of water. That is a lot of water. Try to reduce the number of times you wash your car. Consider bringing your car to a professional car wash. They generally use less water than a person washing their car at home. Commercial car washes are also required to drain their used water into the sewage system (rather than storm drains) so they have less of an impact on the marine environment.

One-sentence summary -- Take shorter showers. Run your washing machine and dishwasher only when they are full. Check for leaks regularly. Take your climate into consideration when landscaping. Don't wash your car that often.

Weeds will compete for the soil's nutrients and slow the development of young thyme plants. Control the weeds around seedlings either through weeding or mulching. Mulching with limestone gravel or builder's sand can improve drainage around the plants and prevent root rot. You can try other mulches made of organic matter like leaf mold or straw, as well. Thyme is a hardy, drought-resistant herb. You need to water the plants on a regular schedule, but not often. Too much water will cause root rot. Give the plants a good watering when you see the soil around them has gone completely dry. Soak the ground thoroughly and wait until the soil dries completely before watering your plants again. Once your seedlings take off, the plants will need very little attention to thrive. Thyme doesn't need a lot of nutrients to survive and too much fertilizer will cause it to lose its flavor and become gangly. Mulch your plants in autumn with organic matter like leaf mold, well-rotted animal manure or compost. This will deliver the minimal nutrients thyme requires all year long, as well as protect the plants from frost once winter arrives. If you want your plants to continue being bushy and producing tender stems, you will need to prune your thyme back to half its previous height every spring. Do this after the last frost. If you do this, the next spring it will flourish again. After three to four years of growth with the same plants, their stalks will become woody and the plant will produce fewer leaves. At this point you may want to start a new batch of seedlings, especially if you cultivate thyme for culinary purposes. Use an almanac to check when the last frost usually occurs. After this date, it may be safe to cut back the thyme.

Control the weeds around your plants. Let the soil get completely dry between waterings. Avoid over-fertilizing thyme. Cut thyme back every spring.
