Q: This blend contains castile soap, so the shaving cream has a nice foamy lather when you apply it to wet skin. If you like a sudsier cream to use on your face, legs or underarms, this homemade recipe is for you. Here's what you'll need: 1/4 cup coconut oil 2 tablespoons shea or cocoa butter 1/4 cup aloe vera gel 2 teaspoons baking soda 1/4 cup liquid castile soap 10 drops essential oil of your choice Empty liquid soap dispenser (preferably a foaming dispenser) Both shea butter and coconut oil are solid at room temperature, so it's necessary to melt them in order to blend them properly. Measure out 2 tablespoons (29.6ml) shea butter (or cocoa butter) and 1/4 cup coconut oil. Place the ingredients in a small saucepan. Melt them over low heat, stirring occasionally until they liquify, then remove the pan from heat. Pour all the ingredients together into a blender. Blend on high for several minutes to fully mix the ingredients together; this will prevent the oil and soap from separating later. The resulting liquid should have the texture of thick liquid soap. Some castile soap comes with a scent, so you can skip this step if your shaving cream already has an aroma. If you want to add your own essential oils, stir in 10 drops of your favorite oil or blend. You can add up to 20 drops of essential oil if you like a stronger scent. Try one of these mixtures: rose and vetiver; sandalwood and orange; fir and mint. Your shaving cream is now ready to use; just pump some out as you need it. It will foam as you apply it to your face. If the mixture separates in the container, shake well to recombine the oils and soap.
A: Gather your ingredients. Melt the shea butter and coconut oil. Blend with the aloe vera, baking soda and liquid castile soap. Add ten drops of essential oil. Pour the mixture into the liquid soap dispenser.

Article: For snoring that is caused by anatomical structures blocking your airway as you sleep, another option (if medical devices are unsuccessful on their own) is to undergo a surgical procedure. The specific surgery is called a "uvulopalatopharyngoplasty." You will be put under general anesthesia, and the surgeon will cut or trim any excess tissues in your oral area that may be blocking your airway as you sleep, leading to your snoring problem. Another option is to have a "laser uvulopalatopharyngoplasty," which is when a laser is used to shorten and shrink tissues in your mouth area as opposed to traditional surgery. This may require several sessions with the laser to be effective. Another medical treatment option for snoring is palatal implants. This is when small plastic implants are inserted on your soft palate in such a way that it will prevent collapse of the soft palate (and surrounding structures) as you sleep. The goal is to help keep your airway open as you sleep, thus preventing snoring. " Somnoplasty is when radio frequency waves are used to shrink tissues in your mouth area that may be blocking your airway. You will be given local anesthetic to block any pain while the procedure is performed. As you can see, there are a variety of medical procedures available to help "cure" (or treat) snoring that is related to anatomical blockages of the airway. Your surgeon can advise you as to which procedure is most suited to you, depending upon your specific snoring symptoms and your anatomy.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Undergo traditional surgery for snoring. Opt for palatal implants. Consider a procedure called "somnoplasty.

Q: Logs should be processed into lumber as soon as possible to prevent the ends from drying and the wood from rotting. While the ideal thickness for lumber is 1 inch (2.5cm), you may saw your logs into lumber that is between inch to 2 inches (5.1cm) in thickness. If you are processing the wood yourself, make an effort to achieve uniform length and thickness. If you are unable to saw your own logs, find a sawmill to do the job for you. You may wish to cut your wood slightly oversized to account for shrinkage. The ends of lumber cure faster than the rest of the wood. To ensure that your wood cures evenly, it is best to seal the ends immediately after sawing the logs into lumber. You may coat each end of the wood in a commercial end sealer, paraffin wax, polyurethane shellac, or latex paint. Build up a thick layer of the sealer of your choice to prevent moisture from escaping out of the ends. When air-drying your wood, the curing time is determined by a simple formula. Allow 1 year of drying time per 1 inch (2.5cm) of thickness. This formula only provides a rough estimate. It does not account for all variables, such as the weather and the location of the woodpile. For example, if a piece of wood is 1 inch thick, it would take 1 year to properly cure the lumber.
A:
Process the wood. Seal the ends of the lumber. Determine its cure time.
