For quart-sized canning jars, mixing two cups of filtered water and one tablespoon of sea salt should yield enough brining liquid for the lacto-fermentation process.  Set the liquid aside. If your glass canning jar is larger or smaller, just scale the proportions accordingly. Adding herbs and spices to your lacto-fermenting veggies will give the final product a pleasing flavor.  You could use dried chili peppers, bay leaves, fresh basil, fresh tarragon, fresh mint, or black peppercorns.  Add one or two teaspoons of each herb and spice you wish to use. Add these herbs and spices in any combination you desire, but it’s best not to overdo it.  You should probably limit the number of herbs and spices you utilize to three or four. Cut and dice your vegetables down to the size you want.  You can slice, dice, or grate your vegetables.   Some veggies, like beets or baby carrots, can be tossed in the glass canning jar without being altered at all.  Once your veggies are ready, pack them in the glass canning jar, leaving enough room to add your weight (if you’re using one).  Consider adding a mixture of vegetables to a single glass canning jar. If you’re making sauerkraut, use the tamper to push the kraut into the jar. With your veggies and spices in the glass canning jar, pour the brining liquid in to cover them.  Fill the jar to a point about half an inch (one centimeter) from the top, or to a point that leaves enough room to add your weight (if you’re using one). If you’re adding a weight, place it on top of the food you’re lacto-fermenting.  Then, close the glass canning jar tightly to prevent air from disrupting the process.

Q: You’ll know your Diaper Genie is ready for a bag refill because the refill film will say “almost empty” and “needs replacing.” Diaper Genie refill cartridges are available for purchase online and in stores.  A three-pack of Diaper Genie cartridges goes for around $15 USD on Amazon. Each pack consists of 270 bags per cartridge. Check eBay or sales in your area to see if you can purchase refills close to home. Hold the Diaper Genie cartridge in one hand and use the other to rip off the plastic seal at the top. Pull the bag out of the top of the cartridge and then pull it through the center of the cartridge. Tie a tight knot at the bottom of the bag.  You'll need to pull about 18 inches (46 cm) of bag to prepare for the next use. If you don't remember to pull out enough bag for next use, don't worry. Just be cognizant that you'll be able to fit fewer diapers in your bag than you're used to. Open the lid of your Diaper Genie and remove the old cartridge. Replace it with the new cartridge and thread the bag through the clamp so the knot hangs at the bottom of the Diaper Genie. Put the lid back on your Diaper Genie; you’ll know the lid has been properly secured when you hear a snap.  The clamp is located in the middle of the top portion of the Diaper Genie and is used to secure the bag in place. After securing the clamp, double check that you've tied off the bag. There's nothing worse than realizing you forgot to close the bag, after the diapers are already in the pail.
A: Check the indicator. Remove the plastic seal. Complete the refill.

Article: Having a tooth removed can be a painful procedure. Try an NSAID like ibuprofen or naproxen sodium for pain. Acetaminophen is also okay. Skip aspirin, as it could make the bleeding worse. Taking vitamin C may also help the healing process. Don't rinse your mouth for the first 24 hours. You can eat and drink lukewarm food, though not in the area where you removed the tooth. Make sure you're eating on the other side. You need to leave the hole alone as much as possible. Alcohol may seem logical since it can help you avoid the pain. However, it can keep the wound from healing properly. In addition, it can make it bleed more, which you definitely don't want. You will need to brush your teeth, but you should wait a day. When you do brush your teeth, be especially gentle around the extraction site. You don't want to pull up the clot accidentally. It can also help to rinse with saltwater after the first 24 hours, which can remove some bacteria. Dissolve a teaspoon of salt in a glass of water. Swish it around in your mouth for 20 to 30 seconds, particularly near the clot, and then spit it out.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Take pain medications. Be especially gentle for the first 24 hours. Avoid alcohol for the first 24 hours. Brush your teeth after the first 24 hours. Use a saltwater rinse.

Article: This method of forming dreadlocks does not work with shorter hair. Your hair will need to have substantial length in order to form natural dreadlocks. This process also takes time: it can take at least three years for naturally made dreadlocks to form. Natural dreadlocks will only form for individuals with curly, natural, black hair. Individuals with Caucasian or Asian hair will need to use another method—or visit a hair salon—in order to obtain dreadlocks. In order for your hair to form natural dreadlocks, it should first be clean. While various rumors may imply that hair needs to be unwashed—or even deliberately soiled—in order for dreads to form, this is untrue. Your hair makes its own oils, which are necessary for healthy hair, but too much of these oils will prevent hair from forming dreadlocks. Once you start naturally growing dreadlocks, you should take a two-week break from washing your hair, to avoid breaking the locks apart. After this two-week period, begin regularly washing your hair again, once or twice a week. This is the central step to forming natural dreadlocks: you’ll need to resist the temptation to brush or comb your hair, and let your hair naturally bind itself together. It’s difficult to predict the growth form of natural dreadlocks; unlike other methods, you will not be able to guide or control the shape of your dreadlocks. It’s possible to make minor adjustments to naturally formed dreads, however. For example, if your hair develops a thin dreadlock, you can combine this into a larger dread using rubber bands and dread cream.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Grow your hair until it’s about 10 inches (25.5 cm) long. Wash your hair. Let your hair tangle.
