INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are GABA supplements on the market that claim to increase the GABA levels in your brain. Some medical professional argue that this is not possible, as GABA cannot pass the blood brain barrier in your body. This means taking a GABA supplement may not actually help GABA reach your brain. If you'd still like to give it a chance, however, it's safe to consume. If you start to feel more relaxed and calm while taking the GABA supplement, it is possible that it is working. When buying GABA supplements, always check that the supplier is reputable and that the product has been tested by a third party. Look up reviews for the supplier or manufacturer online to confirm they are legitimate. Taurine is an amino acid that can be found in your brain in high concentrations. It acts similar to a neurotransmitter and can activate the GABA receptors in your brain. Taking taurine supplements can help to encourage the release of GABA and the formation of GABA in your brain. You can find taurine supplements online or at your local health store. Make sure you confirm the supplier or manufacturer of the supplement is reputable and legitimate before you take the supplement. Magnesium supplements can help to increase the magnesium levels in your brain. This can then help to increase GABA. Magnesium supplements can help to reduce insomnia, stress, and low energy. You can get magnesium supplements online or at your local health store.

SUMMARY: Give GABA supplements a try. Have taurine supplements. Take magnesium supplements.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Inspect the tulle to see if it is strong enough to withstand a thorough washing. If you have any doubts whatsoever, take it to a specialist to have a second opinion. Specialists will be able to test it to see if it is able to withstand washing. A specialist may be a dry cleaner or maker of tulle items, like tutus. Research specialists in your area on Google or in the phonebook. Take two clean, white towels and place the tulle in between them. You will not remove the tulle during the washing process. The towels prevent the tulle from tearing under its own weight and from floating to the top of the water. Tulle floating to the top of the water can result in uneven cleaning. Fill the bathtub with water. Once it is filled, add a few drops of a mild detergent or soap to the bath. If you have white tulle, you can choose to bleach it instead of cleaning it with soap. The only thing you would do differently is use warm water and an all-color bleach. Clorox 2 is a bleach that would work. Mix the bleach with a small amount of hot water and add it to the bath. If you are simply washing the tulle, submerge the towels for five minutes. If you are using bleach, submerge the towels from anywhere between twenty minutes and two hours. Check every twenty minutes or so if you are leaving the tulle in the bath for along period of time. Rinse the towels and tulle together thoroughly with cold water. Remove the towels from the tulle. If there are any spots left, you can gently scrub them with a soft toothbrush. Rinse until there is no soap left. Wring it out gently to remove excess water. You can choose to let the tulle dry on a dry towel, or by hanging it up. If using a towel, make sure it is clean and lay the tulle flat and wait until it dries. If hanging it up, make sure to use a plastic hanger, and hang it in a place where it has fresh air and enough open space surrounding it.

SUMMARY: Make sure it isn't too fragile. Lay the tulle between two towels. Run a bath with soap and cold water. Submerge the towels. Rinse with cold water. Allow it to dry.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The two common types of softball slowpitch and fastpitch require different types of bats. In general, slowpitch softball requires heavier bats, while fastpitch requires lighter bats. Before you select a bat, make sure you know which type of softball game it will be used for. Some softball teams or leagues require bats that conform to certain size restrictions or are composed of specific materials (e.g. wood vs. metal or composite). For example, the United States Specialty Sports Association (USSSA) requires that a slowpitch softball bat must be no more than 34 inches (86.36 cm) long, 2 and inches (5.72 cm) in diameter, and 31 oz. (0.88 kg) in weight. They also have requirements regarding the construction of the bat, e.g. that the knob on the end of the bat must be welded on or mechanically attached. Before purchasing a bat, consult the league or team handbook for equipment regulations, or ask the team's coach. Some leagues or teams require that bats bear particular markings for example, graphics indicating that the bat is approved by a particular sports association, or an indication of the BPF (bat performance factor). They may also require that the bat be decorated or colored in a particular way. Your team or league may also have regulations regarding the modification of bats (e.g. adding tape or a grip sleeve to the handle).

SUMMARY:
Determine whether you need a fastpitch or slowpitch bat. Find out if your team has special size or material requirements. Find out about any other requirements or regulations.
