Summarize the following:
Make sure the exercises you choose specifically target the waist. Avoid doing the old-style crunch. It can damage your spine. Stand with a pole between your shoulders. Keep your back straight, and your feet apart. Twist your waist from side to side while looking straight ahead. See how many rotations you can do. Try to do as many as 50 rotations. Instead of a crunch, try a curl. Lie on your back. Your hands should be palm down. Tuck them under your back. Bend your knees and lift your head and shoulders but only a bit. If you get bored with typical exercises, why not buy a hula hoop? If you hoop for just a few minutes a day, you will end up with a smaller waist. Even hula hooping for 10 minutes a day has been found to reduce waist size! You can also burn 100 calories a day just with a few minutes of daily hula hooping. To hoop better, keep your back straight, bring the hoop against your back when you start hooping, and try not to turn your hips too much. Put your right foot slightly before the left. Spin the hoop counterclockwise and then shift your hips from front to back to keep the hoop moving. You need to keep your core engaged, making the hoop stay above your hips. One study found that hooping for 30 minutes, three times a week took 3-6 inches off the waist in just a month. Circuit training is a great choice for an exercise program because it involves elements of strength training, resistance training, and cardio, all of which will help you pare your waist. Pilates features many poses that work on the core. A typical circuit training program would involve 4 circuits that feature different exercises, which you do for about 12-15 reps about three times each and then rotate. Circuit training often involves such exercises as squats, push ups, vertical jumps, resistance bands, and using light dumbbells. Pilates will tone your waistline because it focuses on poses that will create a strong core. If exercise isn't cutting it for you, you could try the latest celebrity trend: Waist training. Jessica Alba is among the celebrities who have tried this technique, which she did to help regain her figure after having a baby. Basically waist training means you wear a corset on a daily basis. Buy a waist trainer (or corset, or waist cincher) that has flexible bones in it, so you can breathe. Don't expect instant results, though. Waist training can take months to be visible. You could also try buying a waterproof cord you wear underneath your clothes around your waist, and you tighten it as you lose weight. This will help you realize when your stomach is expanding.

summary: Try waist turns and curls. Try hooping. Join a pilates or circuit training program. Try waist training.

Set 4 pounds (1.8kg) of oxtails on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to carefully cut off excess fat from the oxtails. Trim off large pieces of fat, but don't cut into the meat itself. Since oxtails are fatty, there will still be fat on the tails, but removing large pieces of fat will prevent the dish from being too greasy. Get out a roasting pan that's at least 12 by 17 inches (30cm 43cm) in size. Arrange the oxtails in the pan so they're in a single layer and sprinkle a few pinches of salt and pepper over them. The salt will tenderize the meat as it initially roasts. Keep the pan uncovered and put it in the preheated oven. Roast the oxtails until they're dark brown all over. Use tongs to turn them over halfway through the cooking time. Browning the oxtails in the oven creates a rich, caramelized flavor. Stir the bottom of the roasting pan with a wooden spoon so you scrape up the flavorful browned bits. These add flavor to the dish. Then, cover the pan tightly with a sheet of aluminum foil. Reduce the oven temperature and place the covered pan of oxtails in the oven. It's important to keep the pan tightly covered so the liquid doesn't evaporate as the oxtails braise. Cook the oxtails until they're completely tender when you poke them with a fork. Once they're cooked, carefully remove the pan from the oven and serve the oxtails with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Refrigerate leftover oxtails in an airtight container for up to 4 days. The oxtails will become more tender the longer they're stored.

summary: Preheat the oven to 450F (232C) and trim fat from the oxtails. Place the oxtails in a roasting pan and season them with salt and pepper. Bake the oxtails for 30 to 40 minutes. Stir the mixture and cover the pan with foil. Turn the oven down to 325F (163C) and put the pan back in the oven. Bake the oxtails for 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 hours.

Not all highlighters have the glow-in-the-dark quality produced under a blacklight, so draw with them on white paper first and run a black light over to see if they do. You can use any color, but yellow is the most likely to glow in the dark consistently. Any brand of highlighter should work, but you can try neon colored markers of a non-highlighter variety as well. It is easiest to see if they glow in a room that is completely dark, allowing for no light pollution. Tonic water isn't the only substance that contains light-producing phosphors plain old highlighter markers work in a similar way as well. Start (as before) by filling a clear container like a glass jar with water. Note that this method will ruin your highlighter marker it won't work when you're done. If you just drop a highlighter into a jar of water, it won't bleed ink very quickly through the strip of felt at the tip. Instead, you'll want to take the entire ink tube out. To do this: Uncap the highlighter. Use a pair of pliers (or your hands if you don't mind getting messy) to pull the felt out of the tip. Use pliers to pry off the bottom of the marker. Carefully pull the ink tube out, taking care not to spill or mark your clothing. Drop the felt, the ink tube, and any other ink you can get out of the marker into the water. The ink should bleed into the water, changing its color. Cut or break the ink tube if needed to get the ink out. Mix the water well so that the color is even. You can leave the ink tube and felt in the water when the ink is done mixing or you can fish them out it's up to you. Just like with the tonic water method above, a dark room and a black light will make the highlighter ink in the water glow brightly. You can also tape a flashlight to the bottom of the container to make a colored light (however, the "neon" effect you'd get with a black light is lost.) Unlike tonic water, the glowing water from this method is not safe to drink.
summary: Purchase and test out highlighters to see if they glow. Fill a clear container with water. Take the ink tube out of the highlighter. Place the felt stick and ink tube into the jar. Shine a black light at the water.
