Article: There are 63, or in some systems 64, variations of the hexagram pattern. If you have an I Ching book, you can read the meaning of your specific hexagram. There have been dozens of translations of the ancient text. The Wilhelm-Baynes translation is one of the most influential.  If you don’t already have a copy, and you don’t want to buy one, visit your local library and check the book out or consult while you are at the library. The basic way of interpreting your hexagram is matching up the pattern with the list of possible patterns and reading the description of what that pattern represents. Since the I Ching is an ancient text, you can find many websites with comprehensive lists of possible hexagram variations. These will offer interpretations of what the meaning of your hexagram could be. The I Ching is not meant to give exact answers to your questions, so it is okay to trust an online I Ching guide. Some websites allow you to input the results of each of your coin tosses by selecting the line that showed up. Once you enter all six lines, it will locate the proper hexagram for you and give you the meaning. For example, if your hexagram numbers added up to 45, you would enter that and receive the interpretation of “Meeting” from the I Ching.

Problem: Article: This step is optional, but may help. Before you clean the paintbrush with water, first wrap a paper towel or rag around the bristles of the brush and gently press to remove excess paint. Wiping away the excess paint will make the washing process easier and faster. Don't wait in between painting and cleaning. It's important to clean your brush directly after you are done using it. Brush the bristles of the paintbrush over the paper towel or rag until the brush stops making marks. Doing this helps to remove paint before washing the brushes. Lower your brush into a cup of water and swirl the bristles of the brush around the bottom for a few seconds. Don't submerge the brush for a long period of time; just swish the brush around to dislodge any more excess paint.  If you used a cup of water to rinse brushes between colors, you can use this water or clean water. You will wash your brush with soap and water after this initial wash so it's ok if the water is cloudy. After you have wiped away the paint and submerged the brush, your brush will be cleaner. However, doing this much isn't enough to completely clean the brush. You need to use soap and water to clean the brush and keep the bristles soft and flexible.
Summary: Wipe away paint with a paper towel or rag. Glide the paintbrush over the paper towel or rag. Swish the brush in a cup of water.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Razors are designed to shave fairly short hair and will quickly clog and become dull if applied to long hair. To trim it, gently pull the hair up, away from your body and then cut it back with small, sharp scissors, preferably clippers, along with some equipped with safety guards. Alternatively, use an electric scissor-action trimmer without rotating heads. Aim for hair that is shorter than 1/4" (0.6 cm).  If you are new to pubic shaving, you may want to leave your hair short for a couple of days, as this will allow you to get used to the feeling of being bare down there. Trimming your hairs with scissors or small clippers is ok to do too, but some people become nervous when having such items near such a tender part of your body. If you aren't comfortable with using any of these, try electric razors. They are specifically designed to shave these kinds of hairs without getting too close to cut your skin. This will make the coarse pubic hair a lot easier to shave off. It may seem like a non-necessary step, but it'll make the somewhat lengthy process much more manageable.  If you don't have time to take a hot shower or bath, simply run a washcloth under warm water and place it on your area and let it sit for about five minutes.  It's important to exfoliate both before and after shaving because it will help all of the hairs get properly aligned outwards while stripping away the dead skin, allowing for a closer shave and reducing the chances of the razor catching and scratching you. Use unscented shaving foam, cream, or gel to lather your pubic hair. It is recommended that you use shaving foam or cream that is designed for shaving pubic hair rather than facial hair.  Always test the shaving cream on another part of your body before you start applying it to your pubic hair, as some people suffer from allergic reactions to certain products. Just because a product is marketed to females doesn't mean it's only usable by those of the fair sex. Shaving cream for women is generally gentler than men's. Moreover, men's shaving cream is often scented, which can lead to irritation and painful stinging.

SUMMARY: Pre-trim your pubic hair. Soften your hair and hair follicles by taking a hot shower or bath. Foam up to avoid irritation.

Q: Packing a few of your favorite board games or card games for long stretches on the water can keep your mind occupied. It’s especially fun when you can play with a large group of friends! If you prepare for your trip by grocery shopping and have access to a kitchen, you can bake or cook to pass the time aboard the ship. Make sure you follow the proper safety precautions for your ship, such as making sure you do not use too much gas when cooking.  You can also cook food inspired by the area where you are sailing, or using food you have gathered from your travels. If you’re on a cruise, some cruise lines will offer cooking classes. Take advantage of the opportunity to learn from a professional chef! Many cruise ships have movie theaters, but if you’re on a smaller ship that has a power outlet source, you can set up a projector and a large white sheet to make a mini movie theater. Pick your favorite movie and grab some popcorn! It’s the perfect relaxation activity after a long day on the water. On a cruise, be sure to check the schedule of events to see which films they are showing. Since there’s water all around, take advantage of the resource and do some fishing. Although it requires patience, it can be really rewarding to catch a fish and see the marine life up close! Make sure you know the rules about fishing in the area where you are sailing. If in doubt, release the fish back into the water once you snap a picture. Even if you don’t have a fancy camera, you can take pictures of the beautiful scenery and wildlife using a phone or disposable camera. You can document your trip and enjoy the memories for years after. Be careful while taking pictures near the water, and hold on tight to your phone or camera!
A:
Play a board or card game. Cook or bake your favorite dish. Watch a movie. Go fishing if you’re on a personal ship. Practice your photography.
