In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Set the stove on high heat and salt the water liberally. Setting the stove on high heat encourages the water to boil faster. Salting the cooking water helps to flavor the artichokes while they boil. Place them in the pot and then let the water come back up to a boil. Adding the artichokes will cool the water temporarily and slow the boiling, so let water come back up to a boil for just a moment. Cover the artichokes and leave them to cook for 20-30 minutes. If you cut the whole stem off of each artichoke, you'll need to weigh the artichokes down in the pot. To weight the artichokes down, use a small lid or an inverted plate that fits inside of the pot. This will keep the artichokes from bobbing up out of the water and cooking improperly. They are ready when you can easily remove a leaf from the middle.Use a fork or the point of your knife to remove the center leaf. Be careful when testing the artichokes, as they have been sitting in hot water and can burn you. You can also check for tenderness by poking the base of an artichoke with your knife. Once they've been removed, drain them in a colander and plate them for serving. Season the artichokes however you wish. Peel the leaves off to eat one by one, or cut the artichoke heart out. Serve the artichoke leaves and hearts with a delicious drawn butter or a flavorful sauce.
Summary: Fill a pot half full with water and bring it to a boil. Add the artichokes to the boiling water. Lower the heat to a simmer. Test the tenderness of the artichokes. Remove the artichokes from the water.

Wipe or rinse off your skin when you're finished. Use warm water to keep your pores open. This can clear away lingering hair and bacteria. It can also minimize the risk of developing ingrown hairs. Exfoliation and epilation can dry out your skin. After rinsing off your skin, apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer. This can soothe newly epilated skin and keep dry skin from clogging your pores and hair follicles. Moisturize twice a day to ease any redness or inflammation from epilation. Some waxing kits may include an antiseptic cream, which soothes, moisturizes, and protects your skin against potential infections. Return to your skincare routine after epilation. Choose skincare products that are gentle as well as alcohol- and fragrance-free. They should also help moisturize your skin. This can ensure that you don't irritate skin that is delicate from epilation. Avoid wearing tight clothing for a few days after you epilate. Tight clothes put pressure on your skin. This can keep hairs from growing properly and increases the risk of them being pushed back under the skin.

One-sentence summary -- Rinse your skin. Soothe your skin with moisturizer. Use gentle and nourishing products. Wear loose clothing.

Q: Start by rinsing the brush under running water. Make sure the tip is down towards the sink, so the makeup runs out. Also, try to mostly just get the bristles under the water, as the water can weaken the glue and the finish on the brush. To clean the brush, use a bit of baby shampoo. You can use other shampoos, but baby shampoo is gentler. Rub it into the brush, using your fingers or by swirling the brush around your palm. Rinse the shampoo out, working until the water runs clear. Add one part water and two parts vinegar (white or apple cider vinegar) to a bowl or jar, giving it a swish to mix it up. Swirl the brushes in the solution for a minute or so, trying to mostly get the bristles. Once you're done, run them under water again to get the vinegar out. Pat the brushes gently on a paper towel to get most of the excess water out. Use your fingers to shape the bristles into the correct shape if they're bent. Lay the brushes on a paper towel to dry overnight.
A: Run the brush under water. Rub some shampoo into the brush. Create a vinegar solution to disinfect the brushes. Dry the brushes overnight on a paper towel.

Problem: Article: During the mating season, male ducks will have very bright coloration in their plumage to attract mates. After mating season, the male duck will molt and lose his bright coloration and resemble a female. Mallard ducks are sexually dimorphic, which means the males and females look different to each other. The females are brown and relatively dowdy, whereas the males have a vivid purple sash on the wings and are iridescent colors. The male Canvasback has solid white to light gray plumage. His female counterpart has plumage that is grayish-brown. The male Wood Duck has gray feathers with blue markings on the wings during mating season. The female's plumage is usually grayish-brown. Male and female Mottled Ducks have similarly colored feathers, making it difficult to tell them apart by plumage alone. Bill color is another way to tell the difference between a male and female duck. In many duck species, the bill color does not change during mating season, so this physical characteristic will stay the same throughout the year. In Mallards, the male duck has a bright yellow bill and the female has a brown and orange bill. In Mottled Ducks, the male duck has a bill that is a solid olive green to yellow color. The female's bill is brown to orange with dark splotches. Male Wood Ducks have a red bill that has a patch of yellow at the bottom. During mating season, the bill of the Ruddy Duck changes to a bright baby blue. Across species, male ducks tend to be larger than female ducks. In addition to have a larger body size in general, male Mallards, Rouens, and Welsh Harlequins, have larger heads and thicker necks than the females. Male ducks will have an upwardly curled feather near the tail; this is known as the 'sex feather.' This feather, which will become noticeable in male ducks when they are between two and four months old, remains after molting. Females do not have a sex feather. Female ducks tend to have a loud and hard quack. The quack of male ducks is usually soft and rough. If you have ducks as pets and you are comfortable handling them, you can gently hold the duck by its tail until it quacks. The sound of a quack can be used to differentiate between male and female ducks from the time that ducks are about one month old. In Muscovy ducks, the female's quack sounds like a trill or a coo. A male Muscovy will make a quack that's very deep and breathy (sounds like 'huch-uch-uch'). The female Grey Teal makes a quack that sounds like a cackling noise, which differentiates it from the male Grey Teal.
Summary:
Observe the duck's plumage (feathers). Observe the bill color. Look at the duck's size. Look for a curled feather near the tail. Listen to a duck's quack.
