Q: They have been shown to significantly reduce stains on teeth more effectively than a manual brush. However, do not brush your teeth more than three times per day because this can be abrasive to your tooth enamel. Dentists use abrasive agents, dental picks and polishing paste or air polishing powder to remove stains. Some of the yellowing or browning of teeth may be caused by tartar, which is only effectively removed with deep dental cleaning and scaling. Doctors suggest a cleaning every six months to remove stains and protect teeth and gums. The main culprits are coffee, tea, juices, soft drinks and sports drinks. If you must drink them use a straw.  Rinse your mouth with water or brush your teeth about 10 minutes after drinking these beverages if you continue to drink them daily, or they will counteract the work you are doing to whiten teeth. Also, avoid smoking, which can cause permanent staining. Mix two tsp. of baking soda with enough water to form a paste. Dip a manual toothbrush in the paste and brush it in a circular motion on all your teeth surfaces, including the interior ones.  Dip the toothbrush in the paste several times throughout the process. Repeat this method at least once a week, or up to three times per week, but not for more than four weeks in a row. Be aware that it is important to avoid this treatment if you suffer from enamel hypoplasia, so check with your dentist before starting this home treatment. You can also replace the water with lemon juice for extra whitening power. Rinse your mouth afterward to get rid of residual acid, which can cause sensitivity.
A: Purchase a rotating/oscillating toothbrush in place of a regular toothbrush. Schedule a dental cleaning. Limit your intake of foods that stain. Make an all natural cleaning and whitening paste with baking soda.

Q: Not all of us will be born with a naturally chiseled jaw. If this is the case, growing a beard is arguably the best way of adding fullness your face. Also consider the general size of your face. Beards tend to make faces look smaller by contrast; if you have a larger face, growing a beard might help to even things out. On the contrary, if your face is naturally small, you'll want to keep your beard short and trim. Growing a beard can have a significant effect on the look of your jawline. One mistake guys make very often is to trim their neckline too high, usually matching the arc of their jaw. This has the effect of making the jaw look weaker and less defined. If you tend to trim your beard with a higher neck line, try growing it lower than you usually would, all the while making sure the line is well-defined and reasonably well-maintained. If you're having any trouble deciding where your beard's neckline should be, try to imagine a line running in an arc from one ear to the other. This should extend well below the jawline, and should give it a look of greater fullness. It's a general rule in the fashion world that any stylistic choice are affected by its surrounding areas. Shirts aren't generally associated or picked based on the shape of one's face, but it becomes more important if you're trying to emphasize your jawline.  Oval faces have their widest point at the cheekbones, and are long compared to other face shapes. If you have an ovoid face, consider yourself fortunate; your face is very versatile and can suit a range of styles. Those with round faces will want to pick clothes that make the face look longer. Tight-collared shirts are a great way to go about this. Angular faces (a box shape) suffer an opposite concern than the round faces; if your face is angular, you'll want to add a look of fullness to it. Wide-spread shirt collars can be a good help in this regard. Though it may seem the manly thing to do to let your beard run amok and grow freely, the look of your beard will be much more effective and impressive if you take the short amount of time each day it takes to keep it looking its best. This includes shaving hair that falls below your neckline, and trimming errant hairs that get too long. This controlled look for your beard will do wonders for your jawline. Skin blemishes and acne are quick and easy killers for hopes of a strong jawline. Even if you don't suffer these problems, just about every face can do with some added care. Regularly moisturizing is a great way to bring the look of your face up a notch. Moisturize with an oil-free solvent and give your face a cleanse every couple of days. Change won't come overnight, but you will see improvements as weeks go by. This is all the more important if you have an existing skin condition, like acne.
A: Consider growing a beard if you lack a strong jawline. Give your beard a defined neck line. Choose shirt collars to suit your face shape. Maintain your beard on a regular basis. Moisturize regularly.

Q: Feel the seed pods near the flowers to see if they are hard to the touch. At this point, most of the leaves will have fallen off of the stalk. Hold the top of the stalk and cut just below the lowest seed pod with a sickle.  In the United States, harvest usually takes place in October. Leave any fallen leaves in the soil to use as compost for next year. Lay a tarp down in a well-ventilated area so it lays flat on the ground. Hold the stems in your non-dominant hand and then hit them with a baseball bat or stick to break the seeds off over the tarp. Once you’ve threshed all your crops, gather all the seeds in the center of the tarp. If you are working with a large crop, use an industrial machine thresher. Transfer the seeds into a 5 US gal (19 L) bucket. Hold the bucket 1 foot (30 cm) over a second empty bucket and pour the seeds into it. When you do this, any residue from the stem will blow away. Pour the seeds back and forth 6-10 times to completely clean them.  If there isn’t a breeze, point a fan at the buckets when you pour them. Use an industrial winnower if you’re working with a large crop. Store the seeds in a large container sealed with a lid. Keep the container in a large fridge or in a cool area so the seeds don’t germinate. Otherwise, they may burst and become germ infested. You can keep seeds in a burlap sack if they have a moisture level less than 12%.
A: Harvest hemp seeds with a sickle after 16 weeks. Thresh the seeds onto a tarp. Winnow the seeds to remove any residue. Keep the seeds in an area between 32–40 °F (0–4 °C).

Q: Add 2 tablespoons (30 g) of vegetable oil to a large pan, and place it on the stove. Let the oil heat on medium for 1 to 2 minutes or until it begins to shimmer. You can substitute butter for the vegetable oil if you prefer. When the oil is hot, mix ½ teaspoon (1 g) of cumin seeds into the pan. Let the seeds heat until you hear them sizzle or crackle, which should take 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add 1 dried red chile to the pan with the cumin seeds. Allow the chile to cook briefly to help soften it and release its oils. You can find dried red chilies at Indian grocery stores, spice markets, and many online retailers. Add 1 cup (150 g) of finely chopped onion to the pan, and sprinkle some salt over them. Allow the onions to cook until they become soft and translucent, which should take approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Once the onions are tender, mix 1 teaspoon (2 g) of grated ginger and 1 teaspoon (3 g) of chopped garlic to the pan. Stir well to incorporate the ingredients, and allow the mixture to saute for 1 minute.
A:
Heat the oil. Add the cumin and cook it until it pops. Mix in the dried red chile and saute the mixture for a minute. Stir in the onions and salt and cook until the onions are tender. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for a minute.
