Stack whole dry mint leaves in airtight containers. Make sure that the containers are sealed as tightly as possible. Canning jars with tight lids, metal, non-porous and non-absorbant containers. Paper, cardboard, plastic and wood containers absorb the volatile oils from all mint family plants. Label each container with the current date, the contents of the bag, and the amount in the bag. If possible, store the mint as whole leaves and crush it just before using it rather than crushing the mint before storing it. The flavor and aroma will last longer if the leaves are kept whole. Keep an eye on the mint for the first few days. If any moisture develops, you will need to dry the mint longer. Simply remove the mint and re-dry it using one of the processes outlined above. Mint and other herbs will quickly develop mold if they are not stored in dry conditions. For the best flavor, use the mint within a year. Do not use paper or cardboard containers. These containers will absorb the aromatic oils, thereby causing the mint to lose its flavor faster.

Q: The same basic components are used to make a dry sugar smoke bomb, but they're processed a bit differently. You will need the following: Powdered sugar Potassium nitrate (saltpeter) A coffee or spice grinder, or mortar and pestle A container with hold in the top A piece of waxed string Making a smoke bomb using powder requires using a sturdy container that will stand upright. The powder will be poured directly into the container. Here are a few ideas: Soft drink can Toilet paper tube (covered on one end) Chip container tube Ping pong ball Blown-out egg (this is tricky, but quite impressive) In order to make sure your measurements are as exact as possible, it's necessary to grind the potassium nitrate before you mix it with the powdered sugar. In 1/2 cup increments, grind the potassium nitrate in a mortar and pestle or coffee grinder (one that you don't use for coffee anymore). Keep going until you've acquired 1 1/2 cups of powdered saltpeter. Mix 1 1/2 cups of powdered saltpeter and 1 cup of sugar. To make sure they are completely mixed, you can put them together in the coffee grinder and grind them together, or place them in a container with a lid and shake until they're completely blended. Carefully fill your container with the mixture. The more you use, the longer your smoke bomb will smoke. Stick the fuse in the top of the powder when the container is full. Light your fuse and watch it burn down to the powder. The powder will begin to smoke when the flame touches its surface.
A: Gather your materials. Decide what container to use for your smoke bomb. Grind the potassium nitrate. Mix the powders. Pour the mixture into your container. Light the smoke bomb.

Article: People who have kleptomania face a hard reality. They have to deal with the anguish of their disorder but also the very real possibility of being arrested and jailed. They should talk to a doctor if they can't stop shoplifting. Most people who have kleptomania don't seek treatment because they are afraid of being turned in, but the truth is that health care professionals usually do not report thefts to the authorities. Talk to a psychologist, psychiatrist, or therapist for help and advice. Or, discuss the problem with a general practitioner and ask for help or a referral. If the person is a loved one, encourage him or her to get help. Explain that you are concerned for the loved one's well-being and that there are effective ways to treat kleptomania. Be clear that you understand they cannot resist through willpower alone. There are no tests like X-rays or bloodwork to diagnose kleptomania. Doctors will instead do a complete examination of the patient's medical and personal history, though tests may be involved to rule out certain physical causes like brain injury. Instead, expect a range of questions about family and personal history, behavior, and other medical conditions. The doctor may ask about what sort of situations trigger episodes or review a list of situations to see whether they lead to an impulse to steal. The doctor may also ask about the impulses themselves and how they make the patient feel. There might be more detailed psychological questionnaires, too. The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM-5, lists kleptomania as an impulse control disorder with a number of specific criteria. To diagnose kleptomania, a person will need to display these criteria to the exclusion of other possible causes. Officially, at least, these criteria are what will decide whether a person can be diagnosed with kleptomania. People who have kleptomania will have engaged in a pattern of stealing behaviors for a few months or even several years. The person has a "recurrent" inability to resist the urge to steal things, which aren't needed for personal use or for monetary gain. The same person experiences feelings of increasing tension immediately before a theft. They also feel pleasure, gratification, or relief after the theft. The person doesn't steal for revenge or out of anger or as a result of a hallucination or delusion. Finally, the behavior can't be explained by some other mental condition like a conduct disorder, manic episode, or an antisocial personality disorder. The condition may present along with other conditions, such as ADHD, post-traumatic stress disorder, or alcoholism, so it may not be the first diagnosis that someone receives. Try to be patient as you seek help for a loved one with kleptomania. If you think you may have kleptomania, then share your suspicions with your doctor and/or therapist.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Talk to a doctor. Expect a range of questions. Assess according to the DSM-5. Keep in mind that diagnosing kleptomania can be complicated.

Article: Some orange shades can overwhelm pale skin. A lipstick that is equal parts red and orange can prevent that from happening. Experiment with true tangerine shades, as well these can also complement fair skin. Peach, coral and persimmon shades tend to be muted, making them easier to wear than some of the brighter orange shades. They can warm up a light complexion without dominating or overpowering the overall look. The pink undertones of these shades help make them accessible. Olive skin has a naturally tanned appearance that combines really well with true orange, as well as bold shades like electric orange. Look for spicy shades like fiery tangerine and chili pepper for a vibrant pop of color that complements your skin tone perfectly. Bold pops of color look great when paired with dark skin tones. Try a bright, true orange in a matte formula for a punch of high-intensity color. If true orange feels too bright, opt for a shade that has deep reddish undertones, like blood orange. These shades are fiery and vibrant, while also being slightly easier to wear than true oranges. If you're going to wear an intense color, like orange, then you might as well go all out and wear it boldly. The bright, bold color will likely get the attention of others, and also stay on for longer than sheer glosses will.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Choose an orange-red shade if you have very fair skin. Go with a peachy coral shade if you have light skin. Wear vibrant shades if you have a medium/olive skin tone. Choose true orange or blood orange if you have a dark skin tone. Pick a matte lip product for a bold look.
