Article: Take apart a pair of cheap sunglasses and use the parts to create a template for your cardboard sunglasses. An easy way to do this is to lay each part on a photocopier and make a copy. Alternatively, you can try to trace out the shapes of the parts using pencil and paper.. Cut out each part of the sunglasses from your paper template, leaving room to attach the earpieces... Make sure to include eye-holes in the area where they should be present. Using glue, attach the arms to the frame. Be careful not to use too much glue, or it might soak the cardboard and make it too soft. On a sheet of acetate, use the cut-outs you made earlier when you cut the eye-holes to trace out the shapes of the lenses. Cut the shapes of the lenses out of the acetate sheet, leaving a little extra around the edges. Acetate is a type of plastic. The type used here comes in sheets and is used as a thin plastic over in photo albums or presentation booklets. You can buy it at any office supply or craft store. Using any color you like, paint the frame. Acrylic paint is best for this, but if you don't have any, watercolors will do. Using a little glue, attach the acetate cut-outs to the frame. Again, you don't want to be heavy handed with the glue or you'll risk softening the cardboard too much.

Article: The best way to improve your Hebrew conversational skills is to talk to someone who is fluent in the language. If there is a synagogue or Jewish community center in your neighborhood, you may be able to find someone there who is willing to speak Hebrew with you. You can also search Facebook groups for native speakers, either locally or in Israel. You may be able to find an Israeli conversation partner who is willing to help you in Hebrew in exchange for help with another language, such as English. If you have difficulty finding a local language partner, try connecting with someone online. Websites such as iTalki and Go Speaky connect language learners to native speakers for free. The repetitive and simplistic nature of lyrics can help you learn a lot of basic words relatively quickly. Look for Israeli music on YouTube, or on your favorite music streaming service. There are many popular artists that record their music in Hebrew in a number of different genres. Search for Hebrew in the international category. If you find an artist you like, search their name online to find other acts that are associated with them that you might like. Many Israeli radio stations stream online, and you can listen for free. You can also search for podcasts in Hebrew. Some podcasts are geared specifically towards teaching the Hebrew language, while others cover various topics, including history, culture, and religion. Gala'tz, the Israel Army Radio, streams live broadcasts at https://glz.co.il/. You might also try Reshet Bet, which is predominately news talk radio, or Reshet Gimmel, which is focused on music. When you first start, you may only be able to pick up a word or two, especially if you're just starting your study of the language. However, with time you'll start understanding more and more. Many popular Israeli television shows can be streamed online. Israeli shows and movies are also available on subscription-based streaming services, such as Netflix or Hulu. You can start by turning on subtitles in your native language, if they're available. As your Hebrew gets better, you can turn subtitles off. You can also try turning on closed-captioning in Hebrew, so you can see the words as they are being said. If you're a sports fan, look for sports broadcasts in Hebrew. Since you already have a familiarity with the sport, you'll pick up words more easily. In addition, sports commentators tend to use a limited vocabulary that can be repetitive. If you want the ultimate immersion experience, visit Israel, where Hebrew is the national language. In large cities you'll likely find plenty of people who speak other languages. However, in smaller towns you may need to rely exclusively on Hebrew to get around. When people find out where you're from, they may want to speak to you in your native language. For example, someone who finds out you're from the U.S. may want to practice their English on you. It's up to you whether you ask them to speak to you in Hebrew. If they talk to you in English, you can try simply answering them in Hebrew.

Article: Hormones, particularly testosterone, play a role in the body's oil production and when too much is produced it clogs skin pores and increases the chance of an acne break-out. Consult your family doctor or dermatologist to determine the best treatment for your skin. Women who go on birth control pills often solve their acne problems. Though unproven, there is a theory that milk, which contains components related to testosterone, can lead to acne. A good way to keep excess oil from clogging your pores is to wash it away. Washing also gets rid of dirt and bacteria, which can contribute to acne too. Wash twice daily, as well as after excessive sweating (such as if you've been working out). However, don't overdo it, because too much washing will trigger an over-production of oil to combat dry skin. Always use a moisturizer after cleaning and exfoliating your skin. Creams and lotions containing benzoyl peroxide kill bacteria that cause acne. It may be very tempting to pick or squeeze your pimples in efforts to get rid of them quicker, but you're likely to make your face more inflamed, plus you risk permanently scarring your skin or causing infection. Let you dermatologist or experienced esthetician deal with your pimples, as they are the experts. If you have chronic and stubborn acne, your dermatologist may offer you a prescription antibiotic lotion such as clindamycin or erythromycin (or maybe oral antibiotics). Tretinoin (Retin-D) is a medication that helps prevent skin pores from getting clogged, whereas isotretinoin reduces the amount of oil produced. The best medical treatment for acne is often a combination of topical and oral medicines. Always follow your doctor's directions when taking prescribed medications. Numerous natural herbal remedies exist that may help to combat severe acne such as green tea (anti-inflammatory and astringent), lavender oil, chamomile, tea tree oil (antiseptic), or apple cider vinegar. Make a honey and oat face mask. Honey is a good antiseptic, whereas oatmeal cleanses, moisturizes, soothes irritation and relieves itchiness. Make a bentonite clay mask, which unclogs pores and relieves itchiness.
