Article: Scrub and wash the potatoes, then place them in a medium sized pot. Pour in enough cold water to cover the potatoes in an inch or so of water. Then add in a pinch of salt. Starting to cook the potatoes in cold water ensures that they cook evenly. Place the pot of potatoes on the oven over medium heat. Heat until the potatoes start to boil. Once they start boiling, reduce the heat to low and let them simmer uncovered. After around ten minutes of simmering, check the potatoes by piercing them with a fork. If the potatoes are tender, it means that they have finished cooking. If they are still hard, check them after another few minutes. After the potatoes have finished cooking, remove them from the heat. Pour them into a colander to drain out the water. Run them under cold water to help cool them. Then chop them into small, ½ inch (1.2 cm) pieces. Salt the potato pieces if you wish. Peel the onions and dice them into ½ inch (1.2 cm) pieces. Then wash the tomatoes and cut them into ½ inch (1.2 cm) pieces as well.

Article: If you want to be sophisticated, then you have to master sophisticated body language so other people are instantly impressed when they see the way you carry yourself. Sophisticated people are confident, in charge, and calm, so make sure you’re never walking too fast, wildly searching through your bag for a lost item, or generally acting in a way that makes you look frazzled and unsure of yourself. If you want to look sophisticated, then the movements of your body have to be measured and calm. Here are some other things you can try:  Make eye contact slowly but surely. Don’t stare at people you’re not talking to or avert your gaze from people who are speaking to you. Avoid fidgeting with your hands. Keep them at your sides if you’re standing or fold them on your lap if you’re sitting. Maintain good posture by keeping your back and neck straight and looking ahead of you instead of down at the floor. It’s not sophisticated to slouch or hunch over. Part of being sophisticated is mastering the look. Make sure you get your hair cut every two months or so and that you update your haircut at least yearly so that you’re continuing to be current and trendy with your look. You don’t have to follow every trend you see, but you should make sure you look fresh and stylish, and not appear to be rocking the same haircut for the last decade.  Mix it up. If you normally have super long hair, go for a short bob and see how it fits your personality. Part of being sophisticated is being willing to embrace new things without following trends too closely. Consider getting highlights in your hair if you think it’ll enhance your look—but only if you can afford to get it professionally done. If you’re thinking about covering up your gray hairs, make sure it’s something you really want. Having a hint of gray in your hair or even rocking a salt and pepper look can actually make you look more sophisticated. Both men and women should keep their faces looking sophisticated and well-groomed. Here’s what they should do:   Women should wear some makeup to show that they’ve made an effort, but not so much that they end up hiding their natural features. Just a touch of eye shadow and liner and lipstick or lip gloss will do; there’s no need to throw on fake eyelashes or layers of blush.  Men should keep their faces looking fresh, but they can keep their beards or just a little bit of stubble. You don’t have to be free of facial hair to look sophisticated. A beard can even make you look more sophisticated, especially if you have some gray in your beard. Wearing classy clothes is a must if you want to be sophisticated. You should aim to be a little overdressed for any occasion, whether you’re taking an exam or going to a friend’s birthday party. This doesn’t mean you should show up to a casual event in a ball gown, but it does mean that you should aim to look about 10% more dressy than the people around you. This subtle difference will make you stand out as the more sophisticated person in a crowd.  Your clothes don’t have to be expensive, but they do have to be well cared for. Make sure you keep your clothes fresh, unstained, and free of wrinkles. Go for simple clothes, such as shirts and sweaters with solid colors or stripes instead of clothes with intricate patterns or graphic tees with witty comments on them. You don’t need a large wardrobe, either. Just a few key items, like black jeans or a white T-shirt, can go a long way in creating a simple yet elegant wardrobe. Accessories can help complete your sophisticated look once you’ve figured out your wardrobe and general appearance. The key is not to overdo it by throwing on tons of accessories at once. Just a few key items can help give your outfit a sophisticated touch.  Here are some things to try:  Simple black sunglasses Solid-colored belts Scarves A watch Simple gold and silver jewelry (for women)

Article: A clean tank will ensure your fish recovers properly from fin rot and prevent the development of fin rot in the future. Get into the habit of cleaning the tank regularly.  If you have a one gallon tank, you should change the water every three days. A 2.5 gallon tank should be changed every four to five days and a 5 gallon tank should be changed every seven days.  If your tank is uncycled, you should do a 100% water change every time you clean the tank. Wash all the tank accessories and the gravel as well. Add aquarium salt to the water after every cleaning to keep the tank water healthy and monitor the pH of the tank so it is comfortable for your fish. Though it may be tempting to fill your tank with lots of fish, overcrowding can lead to high stress levels and a higher risk of disease for your fish. Make sure your fish are compatible with each other and have more than enough room to swim around and interact in a healthy way.  If you start to notice that certain fish are nipping or biting at each other, this may be a sign that your tank is overcrowded. You may need to remove several fish from the tank or isolate one fish who seems to be acting aggressive towards the other fish. Certain fish are known to be fin nippers, including tiger barbs, serpae tetras, and black widow tetras. Angelfish and catfish can be fin nippers as well as pufferfish and targetfish. If you have any of these fish in your tank, keep an eye on them and separate them from other more vulnerable fish, like guppies. Try to give your fish a varied diet of high quality food and stick to a consistent feeding schedule. Overfeeding and underfeeding your fish can lead to a poor immune system and put your fish at a higher risk of diseases. Giving your fish too much food can also introduce too much bacteria into the tank, as uneaten food will float around in the water and increase the concentration of bacteria in the tank.

Keep the tank clean and change the water once a week. Make sure the tank is not overcrowded. Give your fish high quality food.
