In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you are going to be teaching yourself, you will need to know how to find good learning resources. There is a lot of information available that is not reliable, so be very careful about where you look. These guidelines apply to all media, including articles and videos. Academic journals are a great source of reliable information. If you don't have access to any other databases, try doing a search on Google Scholar to find articles. Look for websites that are published by reputable organizations, including major new outlets, government agencies, and professional associations. Avoid relying on personal blogs and web forums for information. If you have any doubts about the quality of your source, always verify the information by looking for another source. Look for non-biased sources. A source that appears to be selling a product may not provide objective information. There is a plethora of information out there for anyone who is willing to read it. No matter what you want to learn about, chances are there is a book or website that can teach you everything you need to know. You can find information about pretty much anything online, so start searching for answers to the questions that interest you. You can access peer-reviewed published work through journal databases like LexisNexis and JSTOR. You need a subscription to access these databases, but they may be free for you if you are a student. Many classic works of literature are available for free on websites like Project Gutenberg. Your local library is a great resource for free reading material, so take advantage of it. While a lot of information is available online, not everything is. Reading isn't a great way to learn for everyone, but luckily it's not the only way to learn. There are tons of educational videos available online that can teach you how to do all sorts of things. Whether you'd like to listen to someone explain a concept or watch someone perform a task, videos can be very helpful learning resources. YouTube is a great resource for learning new skills. Many of the videos you will find are made by amateurs, but there are also tons of educational channels available. If you want to learn about anything from technology to philosophy, consider watching some TED talks. These are short presentations given by professionals from a variety of different backgrounds on many fascinating subjects. Documentaries are also very informative and can help you learn about many different topics. Some are available on cable or on the internet, while others you may have to purchase. You can learn a lot from observing the world around you, so don't neglect this vital resource. Look for ways that you can expose yourself to your topic of interest on a regular basis. It may not feel like you are learning, but you are! For example, if you are trying to learn a language, consider watching television shows or movies in that language or with subtitles in that language. If you want to learn more about art, try visiting your local art museum and just observing what there is to see, rather than trying to commit anything to memory. Reading and watching are both great, but eventually you will need to become more actively involved in your own learning. If you want to take your studies to the next level and gain a deeper understanding of your subject, you will need to start doing. There are some things that it is simply not possible to learn without trying it yourself. For example, you can read every book and watch every video that you can find on knitting, but until you pick up the needles and the yarn and try it, you will never truly understand how to do it. You can benefit from hands-on experience with less concrete skills as well. For example, if you want to teach yourself about Shakespeare, you may be able to gain a very good understanding by reading criticism or listening to others' opinions. However, you will have an even greater understanding when you begin to make observations for yourself.
Summary: Learn to identify reputable sources. Read books and other materials about your subject. Watch educational videos on your subject. Learn by observing your surroundings. Get hands-on experience in the field.

You may not want or need to cover the treated wart with a bandage if it's not causing you discomfort. But, if you have a planter wart on your foot, you'll probably need a special cushioned bandage to make walking more comfortable. Most bandages for planter's warts are circular and cushioned around the edges. The center of the bandage isn't as cushioned, so it takes pressure off the wart. This is what makes walking more comfortable. You may notice a blister or blood blister form a few hours after freezing the wart. The area may burn a bit and the wart might look irritated. Healing usually takes four to seven weeks. Don't break the blister or scrape off any dead skin. This can expose the tissue underneath the the virus, making the wart grow back. If the wart doesn't look like it's getting smaller, you may need to re-apply the freezing compound. Wait 2 to 3 weeks and repeat the freezing process for OTC kits. If you received a liquid nitrogen treatment, make an appointment with your dermatologist to reassess and see if another application is necessary. Warts can be sometimes hard to remove. Sometimes the doctor might want to try a couple of methods at one time in for to facilitate removal. Understand that since OTC compounds don't get as cold as the liquid nitrogen used by doctors to freeze warts. Because of this, it may take several treatments and more time before your wart falls off.

Problem: Article: As the oven is heating up, line your baking sheet with parchment paper. If you don't have any parchment paper, non-stick cooking spray will do in a pinch, or a little melted butter. You want it to be soft, but not liquidy. Room temperature should be fine, as it will be easy to blend. If you need, put the butter briefly in the microwave 4-5 seconds, tops. Mix everything well so that there are no clumps and everything is well distributed. Cream of tartar leads to a light tang and helps the cookies get fluffy. However, if you want crispier cookies or don't want this tangy edge, you can skip the cream of tartar. Mix the butter/margarine and sugar together until fluffy. Keep your electric beaters on medium speed and work the softened butter until it is a nice whipped, semi-stiff mixture. All of the sugar should be incorporated into the butter. This should only take 3-5 minutes of mixing. Keep the mixer going until the eggs are completely incorporated into the butter mixture. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl as necessary, making sure everything is well mixed. Want tangier, less sweet cookies? Skip the vanilla. Add the flour in small chunks, keeping the mixer going the entire time. This prevents flour "explosions," where the beaters scatter the flour instead of mixing it. As you add flour, keep scraping the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is getting added in. After dough is thoroughly mixed, chill it for 30-45 minutes to guarantee the best results. Start with 2 tablespoons of each, adding more as necessary. Feel free to play with this ratio as well -- while few chefs use more cinnamon than sugar, many will add a few extra parts sugar to avoid overly spiced cookies. You can use a small spoon to measure out the dough, then roll it between your palms to form the dough balls. You then roll the dough in the cinnamon sugar to coat it completely. Make sure the cookies are at least 2 inches apart, as they will flatten and spread as they cook. A good snickerdoodle has a light, chewy texture, not a crunch. You want to try and keep the tops of the cookies light, so remove them when the outsides are just getting golden for the best cookies. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minute before eating.
Summary:
Preheat the oven to 400F (205C). Let the butter soften outside the fridge for 5-10 minutes. Whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter in with the sugar until completely mixed. Add the vanilla extract and eggs and beat for 2-3 minutes. Turning your mixer to "low" speed, slowly add the flour mixture. In a shallow bowl, mix equal parts white sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll the chilled dough into 1" wide balls, then roll each ball in cinnamon sugar. Set the cookies on the parchment-lined baking sheets and cook for 8-9 minutes. Remove from the oven when the outside edges are just turning golden.
