If live in Southeast Asia and you want to harvest your own tongkat ali plant, you need to find one which is mature. Tongkat ali plants usually bear fruit when they are 2-3 years old, and you should harvest the plant when it is no more than 4 years old. When a Tongkat ali plant is ready to harvest, it may have small red or pink flowers, or it may have fruit which starts out green and darkens to red. You may have to dig a hole in order to get the whole root without it breaking, since tongkat ali roots usually grow straight down into the ground. If you want to make your own extract but you don’t live in an area where tongkat ali grows naturally, you can order whole roots online. Even if you order your plants online, it’s a good idea to wash the root in cool water before you use it, just as with any other vegetable or herb you intend to consume. Eating unwashed fruits and vegetables can cause severe diarrhea and other illnesses, especially if you are visiting from another country. Traditionally, tongkat ali roots are dried in the sun for several days. However, you can get the same effect by drying the roots in an oven set to 100–120 °F (38–49 °C) for about 72 hours. To dry your tongkat ali in the sun, lay it flat in a warm, dry place that receives at least 5-6 hours of full sun a day. It may take 3-5 days for the root to dry, or a week or more if you live in a place with high humidity. Once the root is thoroughly dried, slice it into rounds as thinly as possible. Place several slices into 2–3 cups (470–710 mL) of water, then boil the mixture for about 20 minutes. Although you can slice your tongkat ali before the drying process, it's easier to cut evenly once it has been dried. Discard whatever you don't drink. You can repeat this up to 4 times a week. Traditionally, the same tongkat ali root may be boiled up to 3 times.

Turn on the oven to 375 degrees F (190 C). Pour 2 cups (500ml) of whole milk and 1 pinch of salt in a shallow dish. Stir the salt into the milk. Set two skinless fillets of fish, each weighing about 1/3 of a pound (150g) into the baking dish so the milk comes about halfway up the sides of the fish. Ensure that the dish you use is heatproof before you put it in the oven. Place the dish with the fish in the oven and bake it for 10 to 15 minutes. Lay a piece of wax paper or parchment paper over the fish so the moisture from the milk doesn't escape. Check the fish with a fork to see if it flakes. If the fish doesn't, add a few minutes to the cooking time and check again.  You can bake the fish while they're frozen. Just add about 10 minutes to the cooking time. Avoid flipping or turning the fish over. It should cook evenly in the oven. You can serve the poached fish directly from the oven along with sides of your choice. You can also broil it for a few minutes under high heat before serving. This will give the fish a golden brown color. Simple garnishes for milk poached fish include paprika, parsley, lemon wedges, and butter.

Choose one that is high enough to let your legs hang freely over the edge. Your thighs should be supported by the table, and your legs should be bent at the knee. Clasp it with both hands. You can grab around the leg, under the knee. Alternatively, you can grab behind the thigh. If you can't get all the way to your chest, it's fine. Keep it there for 30 seconds. You should feel a stretch in the front of your pelvis on the leg that is hanging down. That muscle is your hip flexor, which contributes to slouching and back pain with excessive sitting.

The study of library science includes library management, the preservation, archival, and dissemination of information, the development of information technologies, and research education. Librarians can specialize in any one of these areas, and many have responsibilities that require expertise in all of them. Tasks librarians might have include the following:  Cataloging items in a library’s database Developing taxonomies to organize data Implementing new technologies to update the organization of old collections Using research skills to answer reference questions Facilitating educational programs for students and the public Managing a library branch, including other employees Keeping a library’s collection up to date by ordering new books and resources Perhaps you’re interested in becoming a children’s librarian, or you may want to participate in the archival of scientific information. There are many different types of libraries, and librarians may have a variety of responsibilities within them.  Public libraries have branches that are open to anyone who wants to obtain a library card. They often have public education programs to promote literacy for both adults and children. They play an important role in providing the public with free access to information. Librarians in public libraries take on a customer service role as well as making sure the collection is up to date, communicating with other libraries, and facilitating public programs. School libraries are an important part of grade schools and middle schools, and serve the function of providing children with the resources they need to receive a well-rounded education. School librarians teach children research skills and help to develop children’s interest in reading as well as managing the library itself. Academic libraries are found at colleges and universities, and they have comprehensive collections that serve the needs of students pursuing higher education. Academic libraries are often specialized, with separate buildings for a law library, a science library, an art library, and so on. Librarians at academic libraries work at reference desks, catalog new materials, help students with complicated research projects, archive special materials, and keep libraries operating as cutting edge purveyors of knowledge. Librarians at specialized libraries often need secondary degrees, such as a degree in law or within the field of science, to be qualified for their positions. Many people who love reading are interested in becoming a librarian, but the job requires much more than an appreciation of good books. Good librarians have a passion not just for knowledge, but for finding the best way to organize it. They’re concerned with preserving information and making it as accessible as possible to those who need it.  Many librarians describe their decision to pursue library science as a calling to share information with others. With today’s ever-changing information technology landscape, librarians have to be technologically adept. Some library science programs now require classes in coding. Not every librarian interacts with the public. Some librarians spend more time on archival, cataloguing, and other tasks. If you love information, but don’t necessarily feel passionate about education, library science could still be the right field for you. Contact the librarian in a library that interests you, whether that be a public, school, or academic library. Arrange to have a meeting so that you’ll have the opportunity to discuss librarianship with someone who has chosen that career.  Ask the librarian about his or her specific job duties, so you’ll know what to expect. Ask how he or she made the decision to become a librarian, and what traits librarians should have. Ask which Masters of Library Science (MLS) programs he or she would recommend.
