In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You could use a reflective tabletop, a mirror, or other shiny, flat surface. Make sure the glare is noticeable even from about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm) away. If you need to produce glare, you can turn on overhead lights or shine a flashlight on a reflective surface. You should be able to view the surface through one of the lenses at a time. Depending on the size of the lenses in your sunglasses, you might need to move them a little closer to your face. Your sunglasses should be on an angle at this point, with one of the lenses raised slightly higher than the other. Since sunglasses are polarized in a specific direction, rotating the sunglasses can make the polarization more effective. Depending on how the glare is hitting the surface, you might have to slightly adjust the angle of the glasses to see a noticeable difference. If the sunglasses are polarized, you will notice the glare disappears. When you look through one of the lenses, it should be very dark and you should see little to no glare, but it will still look like the light is shining on the surface. Move the sunglasses to compare your regular eyesight to what you see through the sunglasses a few times if you’re unsure of the effectiveness of the polarization.
Summary: Find a reflective surface that produces glare when light is shining on it. Hold your sunglasses about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) in front of your eyes. Rotate the sunglasses upwards to a 60 degree angle. Look through the lens and check the level of glare.

An important first step in your personal journey to overcome racial prejudice is to take stock of yourself. Which groups of people might you be prejudiced against? What are your thoughts about these groups? Where do your negative feelings arise from?  Many people have prejudices that they aren't even conscious of, but can be detected using a psychological test called an Implicit Association Test (IAT). You can take the IAT yourself online.  People are frequently shocked by the results of their IAT, because they assume they are free of racism. Taking this test is a good way to examine your own prejudice, and getting unpleasant results is, for many people, a motivation to work on changing their attitudes. Think about the source of your racism. The cause of racism can be anything, but it's usually growing up in a racist environment, surrounding ourselves with peers who have racist attitudes, or looking for someone else to blame for our problems. Some also point to messages we get through the media or culture more broadly. Understanding where your own racist tendencies may have come from is an important step in unlearning them. Monitor your thinking and practice empathy. Be aware of your thoughts when confronted with situations that trigger your prejudice, and try to put yourself in the other person's position. In other words, try to be mindful of how people different from yourself might feel in a given situation, and how your actions might be affecting them. Start informing yourself about the scientific realities of race, the minority experience in your nation, and the struggles confronted by people who are victims of prejudice. Often, an understanding of these issues helps bring about greater sympathy for minority groups.  A good place to start is by learning what race really is. Primarily, racial differences are socially constructed: that is, they are the product of society. Science tells us there is very little genetic difference between people of different races, and that racial categories aren't actually biologically distinct from one another.  There are many books, both fiction and non-fiction, which can help you through the next step: starting to understand the difficulties confronted by minority or disenfranchised groups. Novels like  Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man can be an enjoyable place to begin.  Many anti-racism organizations provide lists of recommended reading (primarily non-fiction) on their websites. Anti-racist educator Tim Wise, for example, has an extensive reading list available on his website. If been using them for a long time, it may be hard to break the habit, but try to stop using racial slurs as soon as possible. This may sound obvious, but racial slurs and stereotypes are hurtful to people, even if they are not meant to be serious.  Sometimes you may not even be aware that your language has a racial meaning. Terms like "Chinese auction," "Indian giver" or calling a bad deal a "gyp," a term derived from "gypsy", which is in itself a racial slur against Romani people, are considered offensive by many people.  Racist jokes aren't funny. The fact that you don't mean it, or that you are only intending to be humorous, doesn't make it acceptable to use racist language or to stereotype others. In other words, don't treat other people's ethnic identities as costumes or fashion accessories.  Many consider it racist, for example, to dress up like a Native American for Halloween, or to wear feathered head dresses just for fun.  Think about whether your fashion statement might be devaluing something that is valuable to another culture by treating it as just an amusing trend. Often times, racist behavior isn't about saying something nasty to another person, it's about less obvious behavior like not interviewing someone for a job because their name sounds foreign, or not sitting by someone on the bus because of their skin color. As you go through your day, think carefully about your own behaviors to make sure you aren't engaging in these subtler forms of racism. Studies have shown that our attitudes about people different from ourselves can be positively impacted through practicing mental exercises. This includes even the subtle and difficult to detect prejudices that are measured by the IAT. For example, if there's a race of people who you consider to be more dangerous than others, practicing saying the word "safe" in your head every time you see someone of that race. Over time, this can begin to change your attitude!

One-sentence summary -- Self-assess. Research the topic. Stop using racial slurs. Avoid cultural appropriation. Be vigilant about systemic and invisible racism. Engage in mental exercises.

Q: An ice bath will quickly stop the cooking custard, which allows it to cool rapidly without curdling. While you can make custards without one, professional pastry chefs know that this little trick will make better custards every time. The custard should keep for several days in the fridge. It can be severed with berries, on it's own, or stuffed into pastries, like eclairs.
A: Fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside. Chill the custard in the fridge, covered, once it has reached room temperature.

Problem: Article: Thickening your liquids can help prevent choking and prevent fluid from getting into your lungs. Ask your doctor what consistency your liquids should be when you thicken them.  Nectar-thick liquids are easy to pour. They're approximately the thickness of a cream soup. Combine 1 and 1/2 teaspoons (7.5 g) of commercial thickener to 1/2 cup (118 ml) of thin liquid. You can purchase commercial thickeners at most drug stores. Honey-thick liquids are not as pourable as nectar. They drizzle off of your spoon slowly. Combine 1 and 1/2 tablespoons (22.5 g) of your commercial thickener with 1/2 cup (118 ml) of thin liquid. This is the thickest consistency that you should thicken your liquids for medical reasons. You can eat pudding-thick liquids with a spoon. To create pudding thickened liquids, combine 2 tablespoons (30 g) of commercial thickener with 1/2 cup (118 ml) of thin liquid.
Summary:
Make a nectar-thick liquid. Make your liquids honey-thick. Create a pudding consistency in you liquids.
