Problem: Article: Pour a few drops of vanilla extract into about half a cup (118 mL) of water. You can add a few more drops of the vanilla extract if you don’t smell it in the water. With the mixture on your hands, begin to rub your hands together. Continue for 30 seconds to one minute. You can stop rubbing when you no longer smell gasoline on your hands. Once the smell has been removed, wash your hands with soap and water. You don’t have to scrub them very hard since the smell of vanilla extract is usually pleasant. Dry your hands with a towel when you’re finished washing them.
Summary: Mix vanilla extract and water. Pour the mixture over your hands. Wash your hands with soap and water.

Problem: Article: Some people may react aggressively to certain situations or behave badly after a bad day. In such a situation, their hostility is being delivered to anyone in their path, and has nothing to do with you. When people act aggressive, often it has nothing to do with you. Maybe they're...   Having a bad day Having had to deal with a difficult person before Being reminded of a situation that upset them Not able to manage anger, fear, or other emotions well They might tease or insult everyone they meet. Some people are just antagonistic like that. Ask yourself:   How does this person interact with other people? Does this person act like this with everyone (or almost everyone)? What is the content of their speech, as opposed to the tone? Could they feel threatened by you in some way? If so, don't feel bad for being your awesome self. Think about how you can help this person feel better about themselves.  Give this person a compliment if possible, or ask them if they’d like to talk about anything. Keep in mind that the other person may have poor communication and emotional management skills. Some individuals do not learn how to communicate effectively or how to express and manage their emotions. This is important to remember because it helps you be patient and sympathize, much the same way you would with a young child who hasn’t yet learned to regulate and express their emotions.  Imagine that there's an inner child acting out, because the person hasn't learned how to deal with problems in a mature way. It's much easier to be patient and feel compassionate when you visualize a learning child at the helm of their behavior. Some people lack or have a different set of social skills and norms. Sometimes a person can come across awkward or maybe even a bit rude, when they do not mean to. Some individuals act a certain way and lack the awareness of how their behaviors are being received. It is not a cold or rude behavior directed at you.  For example, someone from a different culture that is a bit more reserved may come across as cold or aloof. People with certain disabilities, such as autism or intellectual disabilities, may not be aware of certain social cues or speech inflections. They may come across as insensitive or rude when they do not mean to be. Some people may not realize their “joking” behavior is not being well received by others. Constructive criticism is a suggestion intended to help you. It is not a critique or criticism of your self-worth or character.  For the person giving the criticism, it is easy to point out places in need of polishing. But sometimes we forget to mention how much someone is shining. Constructive criticism should have clear and specific ways in which to improve.  This is opposed to non-constructive criticism, which may just be a negative remark that offers no ways of improving.    Not constructive: “The article is sloppy and poorly referenced. The second topic is lacking in substance.” (This comment offers no methods for improving.)  Constructive: “The article you wrote needs to have a few more references and an expansion of the second topic. Other than that, this looks good.”  Definitely not constructive: “This is a terribly written article.” It can be hurtful to hear criticism that is not constructive. Think again about this person's skills in managing their emotions and interacting with others. When you hear criticism, especially when you don't hear constructive remarks within that criticism, ask the person what they mean. This shows them that you value their opinions and is a tactful way to improve their ability to give constructive criticism.  For example, if your boss says, "This is a terribly written article," you can follow up by asking, "I'd like to hear more details about what you don't like about the article. Let's work together to improve it."
Summary: Take someone’s emotions into account. Look at how the person treats others. Consider the person's insecurities. Consider the other person’s emotional management skills. Recognize the other person’s background. Identify whether criticism is constructive. Ask questions when you receive criticism.

Problem: Article: Sprinkle ½ teaspoon (2.5mL) plain gelatin powder into 1 tbsp (15mL) cold water. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, or until the liquid is slightly thick. All amounts given are for 1 cup (240mL) heavy cream. This expands to about 2 cups (480mL) after whipping. Continue heating and stirring until all the gelatin dissolves, leaving no lumps behind. Do not let the liquid begin to boil.  Try a double boiler, which will heat the gelatin slowly and evenly. A microwave is the fastest, but a little risky. Heat at 10-second intervals only, to avoid overheating. Remove from heat and let the gelatin cool. Wait until it reaches roughly the temperature of your finger. Do not let it cool too far past this point, or the gelatin may set into a solid. Whisk until thick, but not yet able to form peaks. Whisk constantly while pouring in the gelatin. If you leave the gelatin sitting in the cold cream, it may set into strings of solid gelatin. Continue whisking the cream as usual.
Summary: Let gelatin thicken in cold water. Stir constantly over low heat. Let the mixture cool to body temperature. Whisk heavy cream until barely stiff. Whisk in gelatin in a steady stream.

Problem: Article: PDCAAS stands for protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score. This score rates the protein based on bioavailability and essential amino acid supply. The highest score is 1.00. Eggs have a score of 1.00. Protein powders are generally not made entirely of protein. Because of this, it is important to look at how much protein you are getting, and how many other ingredients there are.  Concentrate contains between 30% and 85% protein. It is cheaper and easier to find. Isolate contains more than 90% protein and is more expensive. When purchasing protein powder, be sure to check the label for the percentage of protein to be sure you are getting the best powder for your money. You will want to know how much of each protein is in the blend before you purchase the powder. This should be stated somewhere on the label. If the amount of each protein is not stated, you may want to consider another blend. Proteins are made up of amino acids and, in order to be a complete protein, they must contain all 9 essential amino acids. Amino acid powders have their functions, but will not do the same thing as a protein powder.
Summary:
Understand what PDCAAS rating stands for. Know the difference between isolate and concentrate. Check the label when purchasing protein blends. Know that amino acid powders are not the same as protein powders.
