INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place the tray of bread on a shelf that is approximately 3 in (7.6 cm) away from the heat. Check on the toast after 1 minute; if the bread hasn’t toasted to your desired colour, leave it in the broiler for a further 30 seconds. Use oven mitts to remove the tray from the broiler to avoid getting burnt. Garlic toast tastes best when eaten hot, as it tends to go stale quickly. Enjoy the toast by itself, or serve it as a side for a main meal. Garlic toast is a great accompaniment to meat and vegetables.

SUMMARY: Broil the bread on a medium heat for 1 minute. Enjoy the garlic toast fresh from the broiler.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Argumentative people will often argue out of a desire to see an emotional response from their opponent. Don't show if the interaction is making you upset or angry. Smile. Show your antagonist you aren't going to let an argument bring you down. Sometimes that's all an angry, argumentative person is looking to do. Instead of trying to convince an argumentative person to see things your way, ask them questions to explain their viewpoint. Often this can help you get to root of the argument. For example you can ask "What is your reasoning behind that idea?" Aside from not having to justify your own position to your opponent, you are allowing them an opportunity to vent and feel their voice is heard. Many times this will be enough to calm an argumentative person, even if it doesn't resolve the disagreement. If you feel a situation is not going to be resolved in a positive manner, just step away from it. You can always pick up the topic again at a later time when you feel it can be discussed in a reasonable manner.

SUMMARY: Stay calm. Ask questions. Know when to walk away.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Menstrual cups can be messier. As you remove the cup, you are also removing the fluid that it has collected over the past eight to 12 hours.  It takes some practice to develop a system that works for you. Many women remove it while “hovering” over the toilet to avoid any spills on their clothing or the floor. If possible, you may also want to practice removing the cup while in the shower. The cup can be cleaned with fresh water then reinserted for the next 8 to 12 hours.  You may want to wear a pad or panty liner until you have mastered the removal and insertion of your menstrual cup. When you need to perform this removal and reinsertion in a public restroom, you may need to strategize to come up with the best way to rinse your cup, since sinks are not usually part of the individual stalls. Some women have trouble with insertion.  Teenagers and younger women sometimes have trouble with inserting a menstrual cup.  Some women that have never had sexual intercourse have trouble with insertion. Problems with removing the cup are more common than insertion difficulties.  It is important not to pull down on the stem. Since the cup is being help in place by suction, pulling down on the stem can cause irritations or even tears to the surrounding vaginal tissue.  The proper way to remove the menstrual cup is to pinch the base to break the suction, then pull down and out.  Empty the collected fluid into the toilet, clean the cup with fresh water, and reinsert. Once you have completed your menstrual cycle, you must clean the cup thoroughly. If you don't think you have time or would be willing to do this, then the menstrual cup may not be for you.  You can sterilize the cup by placing it in a shallow pan of boiling water for five minutes.  Other methods used for baby bottles and pacifiers using sterilizing solutions can also work for menstrual cups.  Follow the guidelines for cleaning provided in the product literature.

SUMMARY: Consider the clean-up process. Know you may have trouble inserting the menstrual cup. Be aware that you may struggle to remove the cup. Decide if you have the time to sterilize the cup after each use.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you haven’t had a haircut in a few months, you probably have split ends. This is normal. However, split ends can cause a lot of frizz. Get your hair trimmed every six to eight weeks to avoid splitting and breakage. Book your appointments well in advance so that you won’t forget. Cotton bed linens create friction during the night as you toss and turn. This friction causes frizz, along with tangles, breakage and split ends. Satin has a much smoother texture, so sleeping on a satin pillowcase will reduce the friction that causes frizz. Satin also helps hair maintain moisture, which helps combats frizz.  Cotton and other fabrics tend to dry the hair out. Wrapping your hair in a satin or silk scarf before you go to sleep will provide the same benefits as the satin pillowcase. Tousling and running your fingers through your hair causes frizz because it disrupts the smoothness of the hair shaft. The more often you touch your hair throughout the day, the frizzier it will become. Whenever possible, avoid touching your wavy hair to maintain your smooth style. Natural oils from your scalp smooth and moisturize your hair, which prevents frizz. Shampooing frequently strips your hair of those natural oils. Whenever possible, wait at least two days between shampoos. This will give your scalp time to create more natural oil. Four shampoos every week should be enough. On the days when you don’t shampoo, rinse it and then apply conditioner as you normally would. You can also use dry shampoo in between regular washes.  If you have fine hair, you probably need to shampoo every other day. If you have very thick hair, you can probably go three of four days without shampooing. Wavy hair tends to get dehydrated fast, which makes it prone to frizz. A weekly deep-conditioning mask can help to rehydrate your dry strands by delivering a large dose of much-needed moisture. These masks will also keep hair feeling soft and restore damaged hair cuticles. Look for deep-conditioning mask products that contain glycerin, proteins, shea butter and other hydrating ingredients to prevent frizz.

SUMMARY:
Get regular haircuts. Sleep on a satin pillowcase. Avoid touching your hair during the day. Reduce hair washings. Use a deep-conditioning mask once per week.
