Problem: Article: Unwrap however many sticks of butter your recipe requires and put them in the freezer for about an hour. Grating the butter is much easier if it’s frozen because it makes the butter more solid and firm. Remove the butter sticks from the freezer and get out a box cheese grater. Hold the butter flat against the biggest holes in the grater and move it in a repeated downward motion over a sheet of wax paper. Unless the next step in your recipe is to bake the ingredients, carefully place the wax paper sheet of grated butter back in the freezer. Keep the grated butter in the freezer until just before it’s time to bake. This will ensure that the ingredients are the correct consistency when mixed together. Take the butter out of the freezer again and combine it in a bowl with the other ingredients. Use an electric mixer or a pastry cutter to fully mix the butter in with the dry ingredients.
Summary: Freeze the butter for 1 hour. Grate the butter with a cheese grater. Put the butter back in the freezer until you’re ready to bake. Mix the butter into the dry ingredients with an electric mixer or pastry cutter.

Problem: Article: In order to unclog the drain from inside the dishwasher, you need to remove the bottom rack. This way you will be able to access the drain, catch basin, and filter. Always make sure the power is fully disconnected before you begin working on the dishwasher. Using a screwdriver, remove the drain catch and filter that is typically located in the center of the bottom of the dishwasher. You can consult your owner’s manual in order to locate and remove the filter. Once the filter and drain catch have been removed, you should be able to see down the drain. Remove any clogs from the drain using a straightened wire hanger or auger. In order to remove any additional debris, grease, or scum from the drain, you can use a baking soda and vinegar mixture to flush out the drain. Pour 1 tablespoon of baking soda and 2 tablespoons of vinegar down the drain. Alternatively, you could use a commercial drain cleaner, but these can contain harsh chemicals that may remain in your dishwasher for some time. The baking soda and vinegar will help to break up any clogs that may remain in the drain. After 10-15 minutes, pour hot water down the drain to help remove the mixture along with any remaining debris. Once you have unclogged the drain, reconnect the dishwasher and run it on a normal cycle. The dishwasher should now drain properly and water should no longer pool in the bottom of the machine.
Summary: Remove the bottom rack from the dishwasher. Unscrew the drain catch and filters. Use a straightened wire hanger to remove the clog. Pour a baking soda and vinegar mixture down the drain. Let the mixture sit in the dishwasher for 10-15 minutes. Reconnect and run the dishwasher on a normal cycle.

Problem: Article: It is important to choose a shampoo and conditioner that will help to keep your straight hair from becoming fine and limp. Preferably one that adds volume (especially if your hair is naturally fine). If regular shampoo doesn't work for you, try a sulphate and silicone free shampoo. The brush will not only tame your strands but also polish your hair and smooth it. To make your hair look glossy, apply a light volumizing mousse before you blow dry. If you need hold, use a flexible-hold hairspray. If you need to flat iron your hair, choose a tool with variable heat settings. Use the lowest heat setting that effectively irons your hair to avoid heat-related damage and always apply a heat protectant before you use a heat-styling tool. Use a curling iron or curling wand if you want to create a wavy appearance in your hair. A simple braid or an elegant one can be worn on days when you don't want to or shouldn't style your hair. Occasional hot rollers are okay, but you should mostly embrace your straight locks.
Summary: Use the right shampoo and conditioner for straight hair. Brush your hair with a large flat paddle brush. Use styling products that have a finish. Pick the right heat-styling tools. Avoid daily heat styling.

Problem: Article: One aspect of good leadership is being quick and decisive to act to solve a problem. If you see something needs to be done and are confident that you know the best way to do it, use your initiative. A strong leader can be someone who is prepared to take the lead in situations without necessarily being asked to.  Using your initiative demonstrates a positive and “can do” attitude.  Make sure you are confident in your actions, however. Act calmly and assuredly, and don’t ty to rush to a solution when the problem requires consultation. Another aspect of good leadership is knowing when to take advice, and understanding when a problem needs a deeper understanding before it can be addressed. To set a strong example as a leader it’s essential that you take responsibility for your individual tasks and priorities as well as your team as a whole. Having clear priorities and clearly assigned roles will make it easier for people to identify and own their responsibilities.  Support your team members to complete their tasks and try to forge a cooperative rather than a competitive environment and culture.  Taking responsibility can also involve removing responsibilities from those who have demonstrated that they are unable to manage the tasks assigned. One way to demonstrate good leadership skills is to always be alert to new possibilities to learn and develop your capabilities. Showing a continuous desire to improve yourself and your work can be a motivating factor for those around you. It demonstrates your commitment to excellence and your lack of complacency.  Organise and write down a clear set of standards for yourself personally, and then try to always stick to them. Try to monitor your work, and identify the areas which you can improve on. You can use these personal standards to draw up a personal development plan. A good leader is someone who can provide a clear and compelling vision for the short term and longer term future. The ability to plan ahead, think strategically, and develop priorities are all hallmarks of strong leaders. In order to do this, you will need to develop a broader perspective so that you can see beyond the immediate deadlines.  Seeing the bigger picture can help you envisage problems before they arrive. This kind of approach can also lead to innovation and structural changes that have long term benefits.
Summary:
Use initiative. Take responsibility. Keep improving your skills. Provide a vision.
