Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose organic, cold-pressed plant oil, if possible. Do a spot test to check for any signs of an allergic reaction. Dampen your hair and part it down the middle. Massage your scalp with about 1⁄4 cup (59 mL) of amla oil. Use a palm full of oil on each section of your hair until it’s soaked. Wrap your hair in a warm towel for 15 minutes. Rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water until all of the oil is out. Condition your hair with amla oil 1 or 2 times per week for 16 weeks.

Answer: Look to online stores or specialty markets to find 100% pure amla oil. Don't forget to check the ingredients list to make sure there are no dyes, fragrances, preservatives, and other additives (especially if you’re allergic or have a sensitive scalp). You can buy amla in powder form as well, if you like. You'll have to make a paste out of it by adding 1⁄4 cup (59 mL) of water for every 1/2 cup (64 grams) of amla powder before applying it to your hair. Pour a dime-sized amount of amla oil onto your inner forearm or wrist. Then, wait 24 hours to see if you experience a rash or any redness. If you have a reaction, don’t use the amla oil. If nothing happens, it’s safe to use on your scalp. If you do have a reaction, note that it could also be from any base oils in the blend like coconut, jojoba, or argan oil. Check the ingredients list if you have known allergies or reactions to oil-based products in the past. Spritz your hair with water and comb it through until all of it is adequately damp. Then, use your fingers or a comb to part your hair down the middle.  Moisture raises the outer cuticle layer of the hair, allowing the oil to soak in deeper in a shorter period of time, so it’s best to apply it to damp hair. If you’ve already shampooed your hair in the shower, step out and apply the amla oil in place of your usual conditioner. Pour about 1⁄4 cup (59 mL) of amla oil into your palm and carefully pour it onto your scalp. Use your fingers to massage it in, running it down the length of your hair. It’s normal to feel a slight cooling effect from the oil. Pour more amla oil into your palm and massage it into front, sides, sides, and back of your hair until all the strands have been covered. If you have areas where your scalp is dry, itchy, or balding, apply a little extra to those parts. Make sure to coat the tips of your hair, especially if your hair is dried out and prone to split ends. Warm up a towel by putting it in the dryer on high heat for a few minutes. Then, wrap your oiled hair with the towel and let it sit for 15 minutes. This will help the oil soak into your strands and scalp.  You can also dampen a towel with hot water and then wrap your hair with it. Certain blends of amla oil call for leaving it on for up to 2 hours, so refer to the instructions on the bottle. Rinse the hair out with just warm water if you’re using amla oil in place of your conditioner. Use your normal shampoo and conditioner to rinse the oil away if you’re using the oil as a moisturizing treatment on previously soiled hair.  The oil is gone when you squeeze water out of your hair and don’t see any translucent swirls in the water. If you have dry or frizzy hair, use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to retain your hair’s natural oils. If you’re trying to grow your hair out or repair dry, damaged hair, do an amla oil treatment once or twice a week. You can use it more often if you’d like, just note that your hair might appear oily and you might give off a particularly pungent scent! It may take about 16 weeks before you notice an improvement. You can also do a mini-application between washes to tame frizz by rubbing a quarter-sized amount onto your hands and running your fingers through the tips of your hair.

Answer: The most common cause of acute bouts of diarrhea is infection from some sort of microorganism — either viral, bacterial or parasitic. Infections are often transmitted into the body from contaminated hands, so washing your hands often and well with clean water and soap is a simple way to prevent diarrhea.  Wash your hands before every meal and after using the bathroom. You should also wash your hands after changing diapers, playing with pets, and handling money. Spend at least 20 seconds lathering your hands with soap before rinsing, and don't forget to scrub under your fingernails. Viruses that commonly cause diarrhea (especially in kids) include rotavirus, norovirus and adenovirus.  Common bacterial causes of diarrhea include salmonella, campylobacter, shigella, E. coli. and C. Difficile. Protozoa such as cryptosporidium, giardia, and entamoeba can also cause diarrhea.  Don't overdo it with the alcohol-based antibacterial hand sanitizer because it can create highly resistant bacteria called super-bugs, which can cause more serious infections. The surfaces of fresh produce (fruits and veggies) are very commonly contaminated with bacteria (such as E. coli) and parasites — mainly from manure in the soil and insect larvae, respectively. Wash all fresh produce before you prepare it and/or consume it.    Try letting your produce soak in warm water for 30 minutes, scrubbing it with a clean brush and some baking soda, and then  rinsing it well. More natural disinfectants appropriate for cleaning produce include white vinegar, diluted iodine, citric acid, fresh lemon juice, salty water and colloidal silver. Fresh produce can sometimes transmit certain strains of pathogenic (disease causing) E. coli that produce diarrhea-inducing toxins once they're in your intestines. These bacteria (called enterotoxigenic E. coli or ETEC) are a common cause of "traveler's diarrhea." The tap water where you live may not taste very good, but virtually all municipal sources in the United States are disinfected with chlorine and other chemicals, so it's unlikely to transmit an infection to you. However, sanitation of drinking water in developing and tropical countries is a different story, so avoid consuming tap water, making ice cubes with it or brushing your teeth with it when traveling to such places. Instead, when traveling abroad, always use bottled water purchased from stores (not street vendors).  Water can still be contaminated in developed countries. Be careful using well water if you live in a rural area. Well water can be contaminated with animal or human feces or other waste material that contains bacteria. If you are concerned with the quality of your tap water at home, buy a multi-stage reverse osmosis water filtration system. These systems are able to filter out particulate matter and parasites, as well as many harmful chemicals that can lead to stomach upset and diarrhea.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check both ends of the aux cable connection. Acquire a charging adapter. Turn off any equalizer settings on your MP3 player.

Answer:
Both ends of the cable must be firmly seated in their jacks to ensure optimal audio quality. Try to avoid pinching the cable at sharp angles to maintain the cable. If your player is frequently running out of battery while in use, you can get a car adapter to connect to the car charging port. Most modern adapters will have a USB port so that you can provide your own charging cable that is sure to fit your device. Charging adapters connect to both the car and player separately from the aux cable, although some car adapters may also include an aux connection. The car stereo has its own equalizer settings that may conflict and reduce sound quality. On an iPod Touch or iPhone, go to “Settings > Music” and tap EQ under the “Playback” header, then tap “Off”. Accessing the EQ settings will vary depending on the model of MP3 player you are using.
