Problem: Article: Sulfates in shampoo are great at stripping away dirt and oils, but they are incredibly drying to hair and can cause excess frizz. Opt for shampoos and conditioners that are sulfate-free to reduce the drying, fizzing effect on your strands. Hair products such as hair spray can dry out your hair. Before you buy any hair product, check for alcohol in the ingredients list. If you spot alcohol in the ingredients list, don’t buy the product. Not all alcohols dry out your hair. Fatty alcohols Lauryl alcohol, Cetyl alcohol, Myristyl alcohol, Stearyl alcohol, Cetearyl alcohol and Behenyl alcohol, will not be as drying. Tools that expose your hair to heat, such as blow dryers, straighteners and curlers, can cause damage that may contribute to frizz. Using these products often can cause permanent damage, so it is best to save them for special occasions.  If you choose to blow dry your hair, consider investing in a diffuser to reduce the amount of direct heat on your hair.  When using a standard blow dryer, wait until hair is 90% air dried, then use a blow dryer to dry the last 10% of your hair. This will help to reduce the damage caused by the heat.  When using heat-stylers, you may also want to consider using a special spray to protect hair cuticles from the heat, and to lock in moisture. There are many products that will add a layer of protection to your hair cuticles so that they are not as easily damaged by the direct heat. Applying styling products right after getting out of the shower can help to lock in moisture. Just be sure to wring out your hair first or the products will not absorb. Look for products that contain polymers and silicone, which help fight humidity.  For fine, wavy hair, try using mousse. It will not weigh your hair down as much. For thicker hair, try gels and creams, which can hold up against thicker curls.  When using products on frizzy hair, make sure to focus the product toward the ends of your hair. Work the product up until it is about halfway through up your hair. The ends dry out faster, and applying product to your scalp will only make your hair look greasy.
Summary: Choose quality shampoos and conditioners. Steer clear of alcohol-containing hair products. Limit use of heat-stylers. Apply styling products right after you shower. Finished.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For the purpose of consolidated statements, a company is only considered a subsidiary if the parent company holds a controlling interest in that company. Generally, this means that the parent company owns over 50% of the shares of the subsidiary. This is because this share value would give them majority voting power in the subsidiary. However, there are situations where a company can be considered a subsidiary even when the parents owns a smaller percentage of their shares, such as:  The parent has majority voting rights by agreement with the subsidiary's board. The parent has power to govern the policies of the subsidiary under agreement or law. The parent has the ability to remove and replace the majority of the subsidiary's board. The parent has the ability to cast the majority of votes during a meeting of the subsidiary's board of directors.   In contrast, a parent may own more than 50% of a subsidiary's shares and not retain control. In this case, they are known as an "unconsolidated subsidiary" and not shown on consolidated statement. When you consolidate financial statements, you'll need all of the financial information for each company being considered. This will include information for the parent company as well. Specifically, you'll need access to the books (the record of all transactions) for each company, as books are not kept for the consolidated entity. It's easiest to start with the financial statements of the companies being considered if these have already been prepared. This will allow you to simply combine larger line items and go back through the books only to eliminate duplicate items. In order to consolidate financial statements, you'll need to be sure that all companies' financial reports refer to the same fiscal period. Generally, if there is a mismatch in fiscal periods, you should modify subsidiary's timeline match that of the parent. This should either be done at acquisition or can be done through an adjustment to the subsidiary's financial statements. For example, if a subsidiary considers August 31 as its year end and the parent company's year end is December 31, then prepare financial statements for the first subsidiary running from January 1 through December 31. This may involve significant adjustment.

SUMMARY: Determine which holdings to report as subsidiaries. Gather your paperwork together from all the companies. Coordinate fiscal periods.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Discard any damaged chilies, since they won't keep well in the freezer. If you have small peppers that you'd like to freeze whole, you can simply put them in a freezer bag. Use a straw to suck out the excess air, then seal and label the bag before placing it in the freezer.  Pack the bag as tightly as possible, so there's little extra air in the bag. Air will make the peppers spoil faster. Freeze for several months. When you want to use the peppers, simply leave them out to thaw or  blanch them in boiling water for a few seconds. Bigger peppers can be sliced into strips or chunks you can easily use in a recipe later on. Slice them lengthwise or into chunks and remove the seeds.  Lay the pieces on a baking sheet and freeze them for an hour. This is called flash freezing. Put the pieces in a storage bag and remove the extra air. Store in the freezer for up to several months.
Summary: Wash the chilies. Freeze small peppers whole. Freeze large peppers in strips.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Hold a bundle of stalks under a stream of cool, running water. Use your fingertips to lightly scrub away any dirt and debris clinging to the stalks. Shake off the excess water, then pat the scapes dry with a clean paper towel.  If you’re washing a lot of scapes at once, it may be easiest to do it in a colander. Don’t attempt to clean scapes by soaking them. This can cause them to absorb too much water, diluting their flavor and leaving them mushy. A cutting board or mat is essential for protecting your countertops, since you’ll be making a lot of quick cuts. Because of the way scapes curl, and the fact that they tend to vary in size, it’s recommended that you cut them one at a time. Cut away the tip of the scape just below the bulbous white neck. Do the same for the lower end of the stalk where it starts to become hard and woody. Toss both sections in the trash, or add them to your compost heap. You should be left with just the smooth, light green shaft. The top and bottom portions of the scape are tough and chewy, so it’s best to just throw them away. Move the blade of your knife up and down along the length of the stalks with a smooth lever action, holding them steady with your free hand. It may be necessary to stop and reposition especially curved stalks as you go. Once sliced, your scapes will lend a burst of aromatic flavor to savory dishes in much the same way as scallions, leeks, or chives.  The exact thickness of each slice will depend on your knife-handling skills and your intended use for the scapes. Toss a handful of sliced scapes into a stir fry or sauté, or sprinkle them onto a salad or loaded baked potato. They also go well in sauces and dips like salsa verde, guacamole, chimichurri, and pesto. Instead of aiming for a fine slice, cut the stalks into 1-2 inch (2.5-5 cm) sections roughly the same size as broken green beans. In this form, they’ll be perfect for adding a deep, savory note to soups, stews, and marinades.  If you don’t intend to eat the scapes, leave the stalks a little longer so they’ll be easy to pick out of the pot or pan once you’re done cooking. Try adding chopped scapes to a vegetable medley, or steaming them and serving them on their own. When cooked, they have a crunchy texture not unlike asparagus, with a mild onion flavor.
Summary:
Wash the scapes thoroughly. Place the scapes on a cutting board. Trim the ends off the stalk. Cut the scapes into thin slices. Leave the scapes in larger pieces for more flavorful cooking.
