Problem: Article: A healthy diet can make your hair less prone to damage. If your hair seems to dry out and become damaged easily, try altering your diet. Opt for a diet rich in fruits and vegetables as well as healthy protein sources like nuts.  Omega-3 fatty acids are good for hair, so go for foods like walnuts and salmon.  Vitamin B12, found in eggs and avocado, is also good for hair health. If your hair gets damaged often, dietary supplements such as niacin and biotin can help. However, you should never take supplements without consulting your doctor. You want to make sure they're safe for you given your current health and will not interfere with any existing medication. Heat styling tools can damage hair from overuse, so do not flat iron or curl your hair too often. Save the flat iron and curling iron for special occasions, such as a night out, rather than using them as a part of your daily hair care routine. Allow your hair to at least partially air dry. Overuse of blow dryers can cause hair to dry out and become damaged. Give your hair a light blow drying to add a little volume. Then, let your hair air dry the rest of the way. Split ends cannot be repaired. If you notice your hair has split ends, take care of them right away. Make an appointment with a hair stylist to cut off your split ends. This will stop them from causing further damage to your hair. Make it a goal to get your hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks so it stays healthy.
Summary: Eat healthy. Talk to your doctor about supplements. Limit your use of flat irons and curling irons. Do not blow dry your hair completely. Cut off split ends.

Problem: Article: While you might think you have a nodule, they can look like acne, cysts, tumors, boils, and abscesses. It’s important that you know for sure what your bumps are so that you can treat them correctly. When you first notice your bumps, get them examined by a doctor to make sure they're nodules. Then, you can start treating them naturally. Your doctor will likely do a visual exam to make a diagnosis. If they’re unsure, they may take a small biopsy of your nodules, which may cause discomfort but shouldn’t be painful. Your doctor may even have recommendations for natural remedies you can try. If your nodules are benign, your doctor will likely help you try natural treatments and lifestyle changes first. However, nodules that won’t go away or aren’t benign can be treated using medicine or surgery. The right treatment for you will depend on what’s causing your nodules. Thyroid nodules may be treated with medication to shrink them. If this doesn’t work, your doctor can surgically remove them.  Lung nodules may be treated with medications to address your underlying cause or with surgery to remove the nodules.  If the nodule is in your armpit or groin, your doctor may give you a medicated cream, but they can also remove it surgically.
Summary: Visit your doctor if you aren’t sure you have nodules. Ask your doctor about medical treatments if home care doesn’t work.

Problem: Article: Use good quality salted butter, as the bit of salt is essential to bring out the full flavor of your icing. Leave the butter out of the fridge for an hour so that it will soften. It should give freely under your finger when pressed. Note. it doesn't need to be liquid -- just soft.  If your butter has been in the fridge, defrost it in the microwave for about 15 seconds, using 5-second bursts to ensure it doesn't liquefy. Another way to soften butter is to cut it up into small pieces and place next to a warm stove. Smaller chunks of butter will soften more quickly. Use a low speed to mix up the butter, using the paddle attachment. Scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure that all of the butter is mixed together. Beat for about 3 minutes, or until the butter is light and fluffy. Using a wooden spoon is hard work, but not impossible. Basically, you want to keep working and beating the butter until it is a nice, airy mixture. Slowly add the sifted powdered sugar to the butter. Use a hand mixer at low speed to mix it together with the butter, keeping it moving as you add the sugar slowly. It can help to divide up the sugar first, adding only a fourth or a third at a time. Powdered sugar can me sold as icing sugar or confectioner’s sugar, as well. Vanilla is added next. Keep mixing the icing with your hand mixer. Don't worry about adding it slowly -- just toss it in. You can use imitation vanilla in a pinch, but real vanilla is always a better choice. When you add cream to your icing, add it in one tablespoonful at a time. Mix up the icing after each time you add more milk. This will help you see how thick or thin your icing is getting. More cream leads to a more whipped icing, less leads to something more firm. If you don't have cream, use whole milk in order to ensure at least some creaminess and richness. Some recipes call for heavy cream, which can be used for an extra rich icing. Depending on how thick your icing is, you may choose to thicken it up more or thin it out. Add a tablespoon of powdered sugar to thicken the icing. If you need to thin out the icing, add another tablespoon of milk. Continue to mix the icing to make sure your addition is integrated into the mix. Mix the icing until it is light and fluffy. It should be easy to spread on a cake but not so runny that it slides off the cake. Put the icing in an airtight container to store in the refrigerator. Do not store it next to fragrant foods, such as onions or fish. Store for up to 2 weeks. If you want it for a longer time, you can keep it in the freezer for up to three months. Store cakes with buttercream icing at room temperature for 2-3 days, max. Cakes that have icing on them can be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days. Bring the icing out of the refrigerator and warm it up to room temperature. Stir it well with a spatula or use a hand mixer. The texture may not be as good as when you originally made the buttercream icing, but it will be close. Add a tablespoonful of powdered sugar to thicken up the icing if necessary.
Summary: Soften the butter to room temperature. Cream the butter with a hand mixer, stand mixer, or wooden spoon. Add powdered sugar. Add the vanilla to the mix. Add cream by the tablespoonful, adjusting based on your desired texture. Thicken or thin the icing with more cream or sugar. Store buttercream icing in the refrigerator. Warm up cooled buttercream icing to room temperature after storing.

Problem: Article: Choose one that matches the setting you chose on your voltmeter's knob. If there is no exact match, read from a scale that's an easy multiple of the setting. For example, if your voltmeter is set to DC 10V, look for a DC scale with a max reading of 10. If this isn't available, find one with a max of 50. This is a linear scale just like a ruler. For instance, a needle pointing halfway between 30 and 40 indicates a reading of 35V. Skip this step if you are reading from a scale that exactly matches your voltmeter's setting. Otherwise, correct for the difference by dividing the printed scale's max value by your knob setting. Divide the number the needle points to by your answer to get the actual voltage. For example, if your voltmeter is set to 10V but you are reading off a 50V scale, calculate 50 ÷ 10 = 5. If the needle is pointing at 35V, your actual result is 35 ÷ 5 = 7V.
Summary:
Find a voltage scale on the needle's dial. Estimate the needle's position based on nearby numbers. Divide your answer if using a different scale.
