In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: One criteria often used to judge "leagues" is a person's monetary worth. Of course, plenty of poorer people date richer people, but more often than not, people tend to date and marry within their social or economic class. Therefore, if she has a lot more money than you do, she may decide you're not in her league. Use visual clues to help you decide her socio-economic status. If she's wearing designer clothes, expensive jewelry, and a high-end handbag, those are good indicators she has some money. If you know the woman, think about the people she's dated in the past. Has she dated people who had a significantly different income than she did? That can also help you judge. That doesn't mean you shouldn't approach her if you think she's richer than you. For one, she may have just figured out how to appear richer than she is. For another, you should let her decide what makes you in or out of her league. Another criteria that people use to judge "leagues" is looks. For example, if she is much more conventionally attractive than you are, she may consider herself out of your league. Just like economics, people often tend to end up with people who are similar to themselves as far as attractiveness goes. You may find it easier to judge her looks than your own. However, to truly gauge whether you are in her league, you need to be honest about your own looks. Are you just an average-looking person, while she's got exceptionally good looks? Then she may be out of your league. If you're not sure how to judge your looks, ask a good friend to help you figure it out, someone who will be brutally honest with you. Just be sure you can take it. Even if you're average or below-average in the looks department, you still shouldn't count yourself out. Let her do that for you after you approach her. Plus, she could come to find you more attractive over time if she enjoys your personality. In addition, education and intelligence is another important part of considering if someone is out of your "league." In other words, if she has a doctorate and you barely finished high school, that may not be a good match because you may not have the same pursuits. Of course, education and intelligence are not the same thing. You can be incredibly intelligent and only have a GED. Nonetheless, if she's smart and sharp, she's going to probably want someone who can keep up with her. If she's very into healthiness and you're not, that could be a barrier. You should be able to tell on some level. If she's muscular or is obviously abstaining from unhealthy foods, that's a good indicator that a healthy lifestyle is important to her. It's not that you are less worthy if you don't enjoy the same type of lifestyle. It's just that you may find that your two lifestyles aren't compatible. While having different beliefs from someone doesn't constitute a "league," it is an important part of attraction and connection. In other words, if she's religious and you're not, that could be a significant barrier. Other barriers could include the issue of marriage (Do you both want it?) and kids (Yes or no?). You may also have issues based on what kind of life you want. For instance, if she wants a fast-paced urban life but you prefer suburbia, then you may not be compatible. Money, looks, education, and social status do obviously play a role in choosing a mate. However, many other factors can make you more attractive to a woman, including being a competent person or having a warm personality. In other words, don't dismiss your other good qualities just because you've judged her to be "ahead" of you in certain areas.
Summary: Consider economics. Think about her looks. Check educational level. Pay attention to her fitness level. Consider religion and lifestyle factors. Remember it's not all about leagues.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: From this point in the natto-making process, it's crucial that all of the containers and utensils you use are sterilized or mold and bacteria may develop. Boil a pot in water on high heat for 10 minutes to sterilize it. Dry it with a clean towel, and then add the beans to it. Boil any spoons or other utensils that you'll be using to mix as well. To make the natto, you'll need nattomoto powder, which contains natto spores. Use the special spoon that comes with the powder to add one spoonful of the spores to a small sterilized bowl. Add 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of boiled water to the powder, and stir the mixture with a sterilized spoon until the powder dissolves. Nattomoto powder is also known as natto spores or natto starter. You can purchase it from Japanese grocery stores and online retailers. Once the nattomoto powder has dissolved, cover the beans with the solution. Use a sterilized spoon to stir the beans and solution together so they're fully combined.
Summary: Place the beans in a sterilized pot. Combine the nattomoto powder and water. Pour the natto spore solution over the beans.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Antibiotics will not help an ear infection that is caused by a virus, so doctors do not always prescribe antibiotics for ear infections. All children under 6 months old will be treated with antibiotics. Tell your doctor about the last time you used antibiotics, as well as what kind. This will help your doctor choose the most effective kind for you. Make sure you or your child take all the doses of the medication on schedule, to ensure the infection does not return. Do not stop taking antibiotics, even if you feel better until you have completed the entire course as prescribed. Stopping antibiotic treatment before you finish the full course can cause any remaining bacteria to become resistant to antibiotics, making the condition much more difficult to treat. Ear drops, such as antipyrine-benzocaine-glycerin (Aurodex), may help relieve the pain of ear infections. A doctor will not prescribe ear drops to people with torn or perforated eardrums. To give drops to a child, first warm up the eardrop solution by placing the bottle in warm water or holding it between your hands for a few minutes. Have your child lie on a flat surface with the infected ear facing up toward you. Use the recommended dosage. Have your child keep his or her head tilted with the infected ear up for about 2 minutes. Because benzocaine is a numbing agent, it's best if you can have someone else apply the drops to your ear. Avoid touching your ear with the dropper. Benzocaine may cause mild itchiness or redness. It has also been linked to a rare but serious condition that affects your blood's oxygen levels. Never use more than the recommended dose of benzocaine, and consult your pediatrician to make sure that you give the right dosage to your child. Recurring otitis media may require a procedure called a myringotomy. Recurring means you have had three episodes in the past six months or four episodes in the past year, with at least one occurring in the past six months. An ear infection that does not clear up after treatment is also a candidate for this procedure. Ear tube surgery, or myringotomy, is an outpatient procedure. A surgeon inserts tiny tubes into the eardrum so fluids behind the eardrum can drain easier. The eardrum usually closes up again after the tube falls out or is removed. If you continue to have swollen adenoids, which are masses of tissue located behind the nasal cavity, they may need to be surgically removed.
Summary:
Get a prescription for antibiotics from your doctor. Ask your doctor for prescription ear drops. Ask your doctor about ear tubes if the ear infection is recurrent. Discuss the possibility of an adenoidectomy to remove swollen adenoids with your doctor.
