Problem: Article: After peeling your potatoes, cut them into one inch bite-sized pieces. Take your cauliflower and also cut them into one inch pieces. The tomatoes can be diced and will be cooked down, so don't worry about cutting them into uniform size; however, chop your onion into bite-sized pieces. If your eyes begin to water and burn when chopping onions, cut the onion under running water. Cutting onions under water prevents the sulfuric compounds from rising up and irritating your eyes. Put the potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with water. Microwave on high for four minutes or until you can easily prick through the potato with a fork. Next, microwave the cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl with water for three minutes. After you have microwaved both vegetables, pour the water down the drain and place them together in a single container. Microwaves can be finicky. Watch your food closely to be sure that you don't overcook the potato or cauliflower. An alternative to using a microwave is to steam the cauliflower and potatoes. Simply add both vegetables into a steamer, cover, and steam for 3-4 minutes. In a medium-sized wok, heat up cooking oil. Once the oil is sizzling, drop in your cumin seeds. Fry the seeds until they are golden brown and begin to swell. Frying cumin seeds bring extra flavour to the dish. First, add the chopped onions to your oil-cumin mixture. Saute and stir the onions and cumin seeds frequently for three minutes. Next, add your tomatoes and cook for another three minutes. Be sure to keep stirring the mixture to prevent anything from burning. If you like a creamier curry, add cup (60 ml) of coconut milk or yogurt. Mix in the coconut milk until the color is even. If you accidently add too much, allow the mixture to cook down over heat until the correct consistency is achieved. Combine the potato-cauliflower mix into the pan. Top with curry powder and salt while using a wooden spoon to gently fold the mixture into the oil, cumin, onion and tomatoes. Serve over fluffed up rice with toasted naan.
Summary: Prepare your vegetables. Microwave the potatoes and cauliflower in water. Fry cumin seeds. Saute the onions and tomatoes. Add the potato-cauliflower mixture and season.

Problem: Article: A metric ruler is based on the International System of Units (SI), sometimes called the metric system, and is divded into either millimeters or centimeters instead of inches. Rulers are often 30 centimeters long, which are designated by large numbers on the ruler. Between each centimeter (cm) mark, there should be 10 smaller marks called millimeters (mm). Make sure you read the ruler from left to right. If you are measuring an object, align it with the left side of the zero mark on the ruler. The left side of the line where the object ends will be its measurement in centimeters. This way the line thickness will not affect the measurement. Unlike with the English ruler, the measurements for the metric ruler are written in decimals instead of fractions. For example, 1/2 a centimeter is written as 0.5 cm. The large numbers next to the longest lines on the ruler denote the centimeter marks. A metric ruler has 30 of these marks. For example, place the bottom of a crayon on the far left side of the ruler to measure it. Note where the tip falls. If the crayon ends directly on the long line next to the large number 14, your crayon is exactly 14cm long. halfway between each centimeter, there is a slightly shorter line that denotes 1/2 of a centimeter, or 0.5cm. There are a total of 60 of these marks on a 30 cm ruler. For example, you measure a button and the edge ends on the fifth line right between the 1 and 2 centimeter marks. Your button is 1.5cm long. For example, to measure 0.6 cm, count one thick line (5 mm) and one thin line (1 mm). Between each 0.5cm line, there are four additional lines that denote the millimeter marks. There are a total of 10 lines per centimeter, with the 0.5cm line acting as the 5 millimeter mark, making each centimeter 10mm long. There are 300 millimeter marks on a 30 cm ruler. For example, if you measure a piece of paper and it ends on the 7th mark between the 24 and 25 centimeter mark, it means your object is 247mm, or 24.7cm, long.
Summary: Get a metric ruler. Learn the centimeter marks. Learn the 1/2 of a centimeter marks. Learn the millimeter marks.

Problem: Article: Sleep is arguably the most important part of looking fresh. After all, when people are thinking about freshness, the first thing they think of is probably someone who is at the start of their day following a long and fruitful rest. People who sleep at least 8 hours per night actually feel more attractive, and they tend to look it too. Prolonged sleep deprivation comes with a laundry list of negative traits, not least of which includes dark eye circles and a bloodshot complexion. If you find yourself having trouble getting to sleep at a normal time, try making a point of going to sleep at the same time each night. It may be tough to adjust to at first, but your body will eventually fall into the habit of tiring out at that time. Oversleeping isn't usually as big of a risk for people, but it is something you'll want to be mindful of. If you oversleep, you'll feel just as groggy as you would without sleep, but you'll have also lost precious morning hours while you're at it. Freshness has a large part to do with the way your hair looks. Greasy hair doesn't make for a good look on anybody. Though rinsing your hair in the shower each morning is recommended and feels good, you may not need to use shampoo as often as you think. Everyone's hair has its own set of needs, so rather than sticking to a single strict guideline, it's best to listen to your body's indicators and do what seems best. The amount you shampoo your hair should depend in part on your lifestyle choices, most specifically how physically active you are. The more physically active, the more often you should clean your hair. Overwashing with shampoos is a bad idea as well. Although no one will ever hold a value on hygiene against you, you can inadvertently remove healthy natural oils out of your hair (and skin!) by overdoing it on the hair cleaners. Eating well is something everyone knows they should do, so it is lamentable that few follow through with it. Nonetheless, it should be made a priority if you want a fresher look. A healthy diet is manifest in virtually every part of your body, from the hair to the skin and everything internal. Although each person's diet should be custom-tailored to match the needs of their body, there are probably some things you eat regularly you know you could do without. Cutting out 'empty calories' (like soda) and replacing them with healthy alternatives will transform your appearance by itself in as little time as a month. Eating well has a considerable effect on your mood as well as your appearance. Being in a chipper spirit will make others perceive you as fresher than they normally would otherwise. Cardio exercise involve exercises like swimming and running that strain the lungs and heart. The benefits for these exercises are numerous. Not only will your lungs and heart get significantly stronger, your skin will look tighter and you're bound to lose pounds if weight is a current issue for you. Don't worry if you lack motivation in the beginning. Once you get going, the subtly-addictive properties of the endorphins will keep you coming back for more once you've made a habit out of it.
Summary:
Get enough sleep. Wash your hair regularly. Eat well. Get regular cardio exercise.
