Superficial frostbite can be indicated by the transition of reddened skin to white, pale skin.  Though the skin may still feel soft, ice crystals are starting to form within the skin itself. You may notice blisters forming on the skin as the frostbite worsens.  Counterintuitively, skin may begin to feel warm.  This is actually a very serious sign that the victim is beginning to suffer from a dangerous case of frostbite. Be extremely wary of any progression beyond superficial frostbite, as these may indicate that permanent damage has begun. Loss of the sensation of pain or discomfort is an extremely serious development. Blackened skin and hardened tissue indicate permanent damage of the affected skin and likely some of the tissue beneath it. The wikiHow article on How to Treat Frostbite provides similar details on determining the severity of a case of frostbite, including more specific steps on how to safely rewarm a frostbitten area and how to go about seeking professional treatment.  Get the frostbite victim out of the cold. Ideally, get to a hospital where professional medical care can be given to a frostbite victim. Do not allow a potentially frostbitten area to be warmed, only to be exposed to cold weather again. Cycling between temperatures can greatly damage your skin, nerves, and tissues.  The safest way to reheat frostbitten fingers, if still outside, is with body heat.  For instance, place frostbitten fingers in your armpits, if doing so does not expose more of your skin to the cold. If it is possible to rewarm a frostbitten area without risking that the area is again exposed to cold, do so with warm water. When possible, unfreeze a frostbitten area as quickly as possible, as the longer an area suffers from frostbite, the more permanent damage will occur. Use water that is warm to the touch, as close as possible to 40.5°C (104.9°F).  Provide analgesics to a frostbite victim. These include ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and aspirin. If you are forced to delay thawing or rewarming of a frostbitten area,...

Supportive shoes are especially important when you are doing an activity that causes your foot to strike against the ground, such as walking or running. Look for thick-soled shoes that provide a stable base. The shoes should fit well and offer arch support.  It’s best to shop when your feet are sore and puffy, such as at the end of a long workday. This ensures that your shoes won't be too tight. If you can, get your gait analyzed at a running store or your podiatrist’s office. This can help you find the best shoes for you. Orthotic inserts, which don’t require a prescription, are made support your arches and lessen the impact of walking or exercise. They can also prevent injury. You should also use arch inserts and wraps to give extra support to your feet, especially if your shoes don’t have built-in arch support.  You may need to trim some inserts to fit your shoes. If you only buy 1 pair, you’ll need to switch them between pairs of shoes, unless you always wear the same shoes. You may not need inserts for athletic shoes that have good arch support and firm mid-soles. You can find generic orthotics over-the-counter at most department and athletic stores. You can also buy them online. if you are overweight. Carrying extra weight puts a lot of pressure on your feet, especially your arches. This increases your risk for over-pronation. Keep your weight within a healthy weight range for your height to limit your risk.  Eat a healthy, balanced diet and exercise for at least 30 minutes a day.

Suppose you have money in a savings account with a fixed annual interest rate and you also stock in a portfolio with a varying return. Use the CAGR to compare the growth rate of the portfolio investment over time with the growth rate of the savings account.  This can help you to decide which investment is has the higher rate of return over time.  For example, suppose you put $5,000 in the savings account for three years, and it had a 1 percent fixed annual interest rate.  At the end of the third year, you would have $5,151.50. Suppose the market was very volatile over the same time period, and you had a $3,000 portfolio investment. The value varied widely over the three years, but at the end of that time period, the investment would be worth $3,200. If you calculate the CAGR on the portfolio with the formula [(3,200/3,000)^(1/3)]-1, you get a CAGR of 2.17 percent. Compare the CAGR of the portfolio to the savings account. Even though the market was so volatile, a CAGR of 2.17 percent is a better return than the 1 percent growth offered by the savings account. Looking at the CAGR of different metrics over time might provide a clearer picture of a company’s strengths and weaknesses. For example, suppose the CAGR of a company’s market share was 1.82 percent over a five-year period.  But suppose in the same time period, their customer satisfaction CAGR was -0.58 percent. This discrepancy highlights areas in which the company could improve.

Suppose you see a really cool Camaro, Mustang or some other collectible car drive by. Make a note of as much descriptive information as you can get. With a simple Internet search for “car clubs,” you will be able to find listings of clubs dedicated to car enthusiasts. If you have this additional information, you will have a better chance of finding the particular car and owner you are looking for. Some car club sites will list owners by name and include contact information. With a little luck, you’ll find the person you want.

Suppose you want to know the average speed of travel, but you do not have a speedometer. It is possible to calculate speed with some basic measurements and calculations. The average speed of any object is found by dividing the change in position by the change in time. This can be written mathematically as:  speed=ΔxΔt{\displaystyle {\text{speed}}={\frac {\Delta x}{\Delta t}}} In this function, Δx{\displaystyle \Delta x} represents the change in position or the distance traveled. The denominator Δt{\displaystyle \Delta t} represents the change in time. Average speed of an object is the calculation of its change in position, or location, over a chosen period of time. Therefore, to begin, you need to select the starting position for your measurement.  For example, if you want to measure your average walking speed from your house to your school across town, the starting position is your house. The “starting” position does not have to be a true start. For example, you could choose to measure the average speed of a race car in the Indy 500. You might select any point along the track as the “starting” point for your measurement. You can calculate the average speed over any distance or length of time that you choose. The only limiting factor is the quality or precision of your measuring instrument. For example, measuring the speed of a sprinter requires accuracy within a few centimeters, while measuring the speed of a race car needs to be accurate to within a few feet or meters.  To measure your walking speed from home to school, you could find the distance either by looking at a local map, or by traveling the route with a car's odometer. For this example, assume that the distance is 0.6 miles. For the Indy 500 race car, one lap of the Indianapolis Speedway race track is 2.5 miles. Therefore, check the car's position at any point on the track. When the car passes that same point again, it's distance will be 2.5 miles. The average speed requires you to measure the amount of time that goes by. As with the distance...

Surfing in Counter-Strike is accomplished by sliding down angled surfaces, using gravity to maintain your speed. You'll be required to jump from surface to surface to navigate the map. You'll be using the A and D buttons to stay on the angle, and the mouse to steer. A or D while on the angle towards the apex. Every time you're surfing an angle, you should be hold either A or D, whichever key is the opposite of the slope. For example, if you're on an angle where the upper edge is on your right, and the lower edge is on your left, press and hold D to push yourself towards the apex. This will keep you on the surface so that you don't fall off.  This is the essential motion for surfing. You always want to be pushing the opposite direction of the angle you're on to counter gravity. A basic way to remember this is to use this simple diagram: D/\A This will increase your speed, allowing gravity to work in your favor. After moving towards the bottom of the ramp, quickly aim towards the upper corner and climb back up before jumping to the next surface. You are essentially making a wave motion for each surface you hit (start high, move low, and then move back up high before jumping). Space to jump to the next surface. When you reach the end of a surfing surface, press Space to jump and move to the next angled surface. Try to jump at the last possible second to maintain your speed. A or D while in the air, depending on your direction. Hold the key that matches the direction you're going in mid-air W while surfing. While it might be tempting to press W to "move forward," this will actually slow you down. You'll get all the speed you need by moving along the angled ramps. If you need to stop mid-air, or slow down on a ramp for some reason, press S. Otherwise, avoid this key was well. This will give you the most space to surf downwards to the bottom corner of the far end of the ramp. Hitting the right entry spot for the ramp can be essential for maintaining a high speed.

Surgery is the most accepted and widely used treatment for hernias. But, if you're not experiencing symptoms and the hernia can be pushed back (reduced), you may want to wait. Either way, make an appointment with your doctor to get a professional opinion. If you know you'd like surgery, but your doctor advises you not to, because there aren't symptoms, you do have the right to elective surgery for cosmetic purposes. If you decide on surgery, make an appointment with a surgeon. If you plan on surgery, you'll need to have lab work done: labs for your blood values (PT, PTT, INR, and CBC), electrolytes such as sodium, potassium and glucose levels, and an ECG for detection of any heart abnormalities. Make an appointment with your primary care doctor to arrange your tests and have the results sent to your surgeon. With laparoscopic surgery, you'll be given anesthesia orally to reduce your pain and discomfort. The surgeon will inflate your abdomen with air so the tissues are more spread out and easier to work with. Next, a surgical probe is used as a camera to guide other probes that can cut, remove, and stitch. The probe will push the herniated products back in place. The probe will also apply a mesh to reinforce the weak abdominal wall. This will prevent future herniations. The small incisions from the probes will be sutured (stitched) at the end.  Laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive. It also leaves a smaller scar after surgery, causes less blood loss, and results in less pain following surgery. Laparoscopic repair is favored over the open procedure if the hernia is bilateral, recurrent, or femoral. If you choose to have open surgery, the surgeon will make an incision along the groin to open the area up. Once open, the surgeon will manually push the contents back into the abdomen and look for passage of flatus. Then, the surgeon will likely apply a mesh around the weak abdominal muscles or tie the abdominal muscles together. This will prevent future herniations. The incision will be sutured, or stitched, at...

Surgery is usually your best treatment option. If the tumor is in your lung, the doctor will remove it as well as a portion of your lung. If it’s in your gastrointestinal tract, the doctor will remove the tumor and the lymph nodes around it. This procedure will be an inpatient procedure. For some individuals, it will relieve the symptoms. However, you may need more treatment if the cancer has spread. Your doctor may prescribe this medication to help you cope with symptoms of flushing, diarrhea, and related issues. It works by preventing the tumor from excreting more chemicals. Octreotide or lanreotide is usually given along with other treatments, such as surgery.  These medicines are more commonly prescribed when the tumor has spread. In some cases, the doctor will also prescribe alpha-interferon, which helps improve your immune system. Together, these medications can help reduce the size of your tumor. Carcinoid syndrome doesn’t respond well to chemotherapy, but it may be necessary if the cancer has spread. Radiation therapy and immunotherapy may also be used to treat a cancer that is progressing. The doctor will determine if it’s the best treatment option for you. Your doctor may not recommend chemotherapy if you are still feeling unwell.

Surprisingly, short trips are generally the harder on your car and on the environment than long trips. Next time you only have a short distance to go, swap out your car for your feet or bike.  Ensure that children learn to ride a bicycle at a young age, as the benefits of bike riding far outweigh any risks.  Encourage schools to install bicycle racks so that more children can ride bicycles to school. Always wear a helmet and safety reflective gear when riding a bicycle. to commute for work or school to save gas. Coordinate with another person or 2 that you work or go to school with to set up a carpool. This can help the environment by saving on gas as well as maintenance on vehicles. Work with other parents in your  neighborhood to form a carpool to take the kids to school or extra-curricular activities.  Carpooling will also enable you to take the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane on a highway, which will usually save time and money on gasoline. If you live near your children's school, consider organizing a "walking school bus" instead of driving. Children walk or bicycle to school together in groups, supervised and guided by parents. Neighborhood parents can take turns leading the group. If you live in an area that has a bus, light rail, or subway system, consider taking this option to get to work, school or wherever you may need to go. Replacing car trips with public transport trips reduces congestion on roads and reduces the overall amount of gasoline that is used. Many bus systems in major cities operate diesel-electric hybrid buses, which further reduces harmful emissions. Make errand trips more efficient by planning out where you will go and hitting all of your stops in one trip. This will make your trip a little longer, but you will have fewer of them and won’t be driving the same path multiple times.

Surround yourself with things that cheer you up, your favorite images, mementos, plants, or books. Don't forget to improve your lighting. Some people that suffer from seasonal affective disorder experience symptoms of depression if they don't have enough sunlight. If you are in a dim room, open up a window for some natural light. Or, if you are using artificial light, try lighting a lamp or candle to cheer you up. If you are at work and in a poor mood, you can try to introduce things from home to make you feel more comfortable. These might be pictures or a certain air fragrance. You can even try bringing your favorite tea as a warm, soothing reminder from home. Even if your house doesn’t smell bad, a good smelling candle or favorite fragrance can lift your mood. Try aromatherapy, inhaling or topically applying essential oils, to cheer you up and reduce stress. Studies have found that lemon oil in particular elevates and improves mood, while bad smells in general make you feel tense, depressed, or angry. Researchers are uncertain about what makes essential oils and aromatherapy effective. But, they believe that receptors in your nose stimulate parts of your brain which control emotions and memories.

Surrounding yourself with quality people is a good start towards finding a great guy. Don't tolerate any of the bad behavior in your friend group that you wouldn't want to see in a significant other. This makes you more likely to turn a friendship into a good relationship, or to meet good people that are friends with other good (and totally single) guys. If you're using a combination of bars and Craigslist, that's your main problem. Stop. Most of the "usual" places are where you're likely to find the most losers. Also: weddings, clubs, parties, the gym, etc. All those places where guys know you'll be looking for love. If you stick to the usual spots, you'll be more likely to meet guys looking to take advantage of you. Guys are much less likely to be looking to meet someone at charity events but such places are highly likely to attract guys with their priorities in the right place. Surprise a guy by sweeping him off his feet when he least expects it. A good portion of coupes meet at work. This is another place where guys will not come to prey, so you're know that you're probably safe. It's also a lot easier to gauge who's single! Well, of course, any place of worship will do. Exercise your spiritual side and invite the opportunity to meet a guy with his heart in the right place and with similar morals and ideas to you. If you're not the bible-thumping type, there are lots of churches with more laid-back attitudes that focus on inspiration and practical moral guidance. It seems silly, but just ask your friends for help. Ask them to set you up. Your social circle may have been milked dry, but all your friends know more people than just you. You may be surprised by what they can come up with.

Suspension can be a good option if the car will be temporarily out of use. For instance, you might suspend service if you are being deployed in the military, plan on storing the car, or are buying a new car soon.  Suspending your car does have benefits. You can keep loyalty discounts, for instance, which would go away if you cancelled. Plus, you can just call the company to reinstate your car insurance when you need it. Also, you won't have a lapse on your record. Lapses can increase your rates when you go buy a new policy. Generally, you can't use this option if you are still paying off your car. Most loan companies require that you have insurance on the car while you are still paying it off. Only some car insurance companies let you suspend your insurance coverage. Call your insurance provider to find out if they will allow you to suspend your coverage for a period of time. Suspension still leaves your car without coverage. In many states, you will need to surrender your plates because that state requires registered cars to be covered by insurance. Call the DMV or go online to find out about the laws in your state. Because suspending insurance isn't quite as common as canceling, call the company to find out how to suspend it. However, you can check online to see if you can suspend it that way.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Decide si la suspensión es adecuada para tu situación. Omite esta opción si tienes un préstamo para auto. Verifica si tu compañía de seguros permite suspensiones. Entrega tus matrículas. Llama o ingresa en línea para suspender tu seguro.


Swamp Hibiscus can grow a bit too leggy and look straggly. Pruning and pinching can promote bushier growth and flower production. Once the plant gets to be about two feet in height, pinch off the growing tips so that the plant height is cut in half to about one foot. When flowering starts, you should pinch off the dead flowers. This will be covered in the next step. Each flower of the swamp hibiscus will generally only last for one day. Try to remove dead flower heads every few days to help your plant produce the most flowers it possibly can. Doing this will keep seeds from forming, rather than flowers. If you want to collect hibiscus seeds later in the year, leave a small number of dead flower heads on the plant so that the seed pods can eventually form. They will need to mature and turn brown on the plant before the seeds can be harvested. Cutting the plant back will help the plant to continue flowering into the fall. Right at the end of winter, cut the whole plant right back to the ground. The remaining stalks will be woody. Next year’s growth will emerge on fresh shoots so it is fine to remove the old ones around December. Make sure to use a sharp blade to cut the plant back. Pruning shears work well. You can stake the plant if it is leaning too much. To do this, use a sturdy garden cane. Drive the stake deep into the soil and loosely tie the plant to it using string or garden ties. Don’t tie the plant too tightly against it and try to allow for some movement on a windy day. Swamp Hibiscus can also get support from a tree, post or fence. A swamp hibiscus generally does most of its growing in the spring, summer, and fall. You can use a general all-purpose garden fertilizer. Try to use a water-soluble fertilizer along with your regular watering schedule. More established plants won’t need as much watering as younger plants do. However, you should still check your plant regularly; if you notice that the soil is getting dry, water your plant right away. It is particularly important to keep an eye on the soil...

Swamp Hibiscus is a tall perennial that favors a sunny spot with lots of water. Unlike many plants, it prefers a boggy spot where water collects. If you have a marshy patch in your garden that gets plenty of sun, consider planting your swamp hibiscus there. Swamp Hibiscus prefers a mildly acidic soil but this isn’t critical. The main thing is to provide the plant with plenty of boggy soil.  In hotter areas this plant will tolerate partial shade for some of the day but generally favors sunny spots. This plant will also do well next to a pond or stream. Incorporate some well-rotted manure or other organic matter such as compost into the ground ahead of planting. Mix up the soil and organic matter to provide the plant with the nutrient it will need to grow. Swamp Hibiscus can grow up to nine feet in height, so long as the soil is rich. Dig a hole twice the size of the pot that the hibiscus came in. Put the plant in the hole and fill the hole with soil. Water the plant and soil around the hole to help settle the soil and remove air bubbles. Continue to water the plant so that the soil remains soggy. Swamp Hibiscus can be grown from seed if you do not want to purchase a potted plant to put in your garden.  If you are harvesting seed yourself, do so in the late spring when the pods are hard and dry. You’ll need to break them open to collect the seed. Seeds need to be scraped with sandpaper or a nail file to get them to germinate. Alternately, try making a tiny cut with a sharp knife or prick with a pin. Soak the seeds in warm water for an hour, then dry them on a paper towel. Plant them as soon as the last frosts are over. You can plant the seeds directly into the ground, or you can start their growth in a pot. Plant the seeds a quarter of an inch down in the soil and cover them up. Mist the surface with water. If you are using a pot, cover the pot with a clear plastic bag or plastic wrap and put it in a sunny place such as a south-facing windowsill. Germination, or when the sprouts begin to show, takes about two...

Swedish goggles are an older style of water eyewear that are still popular with many swimmers. They feature eye cups molded out of hard plastic, with lenses that offer UV protection for outdoor swimming. Most pairs also have an adjustable nose strap that joins the eyecups together.  A 2-pack of Swedish goggles only costs about $15 USD on average, making them a more economical option if you’re not set on using top-of-the-line equipment. Swedish goggles have to be assembled prior to their first use. For this reason, they may be a little too complicated for small children.  One downside of Swedish goggles is that the hard plastic used in their construction makes them slightly less comfortable for prolonged wear. Racing goggles are made from lightweight, hydrodynamic materials and offer a perfect watertight seal every time. This emphasis on comfort will allow you to focus solely on swimming. As an added bonus, they come in an array shapes and sizes, so you’ll always be able to find a pair to fit your face.  A good pair of racing goggles can run you up to $50 USD, but keep in mind that when it comes to specialty sports equipment, you get what you pay for. Since they’re smaller than ordinary goggles, racing goggles may put more pressure on the eye sockets when used for long swimming sessions. Goggles with darkened lenses are the swimmer’s equivalent of sunglasses. Since they typically offer UV protection and an anti-fog coating, they’re useful for blocking out sunlight on bright days. If you tend to most of your swimming outdoors in the morning or afternoon, tinted lenses may be a smart choice.  You should be able to buy goggles with tinted lenses anywhere that swimming equipment and accessories are sold. Like sunglasses, darkened goggles aren’t meant for indoor use. Wearing them inside may make it harder to see your mark, the lane dividers, or other swimmers. Colored lenses let in varying amounts of light, which makes them well-suited for a wide range of conditions. Amber and yellow lenses, for example, are...

Sweep or blow away all the dirt and debris from the concrete steps. Also, make sure to cover up any nearby plants with a plastic covering like a tarp or trash bags. Remove toys, decorations, and nearby furniture as well. Mix them together in a plastic bucket until they are well-combined. The temperature of the water should be at least 105 degrees Fahrenheit (40.5 degrees Celsius). Alternatively, you can use a specially formulated concrete cleaner instead of the oxygenated bleach and water. You can find these at your local hardware store. Fill a tank sprayer with the solution. Working from the top down, use the tank to spray the steps with the solution, focusing on the stained areas. Once you have covered the whole area, let the solution set for 20 to 30 minutes.  Make sure the concrete steps are soaking wet to prevent the solution from drying up while it is setting. If the solution starts to dry, then just spray more solution onto the steps. You can purchase or rent a tank sprayer from your local hardware store. You can also use a push broom to do this. Working from the top down, scrub the steps until the dirt and grime are completely removed. Use a smaller scrub brush to clean small crevices and corners. Make sure to clean the steps evenly to avoid a patchy look. Fill a gallon bucket with clean, hot water. From the top of the stairs, pour the water down the steps to rinse them clean. Rinse the steps until all of the soap residue, dirt, and grime are removed. If the concrete steps are still dirty, then repeat steps one through five, or use a different method.

Sweet Shrub requires little in the way of maintenance, but you may like to prune it to keep the plant in shape and prevent it from growing too wide. Pruning should be done immediately after flowering, which means in the early summer.  Due to the fact that this plant spreads by producing side shoots known as suckers, you can control the width by pinching these off as they emerge.     Thinning out old growth will usually ensure the new growth comes through more vigorously the following growing season.    Sweet Shrub doesn’t tend to be bothered by disease but root rot can occur in poorly-drained soil. To avoid this, don’t plant the bush where puddles form and don’t easily drain away.  If you observe warty growths on stems close to the ground, this may indicate bacterial crown gall.     The best solution is to remove the plant and surrounding soil to prevent re-infection.    If you need to transplant Sweet Shrub, do it in fall or winter. Take cuttings in July if you wish to quickly reproduce from a parent plant.  To reproduce a plant from suckers, take a rooted sucker and replant it until a proper root system is established before planting on. This is usually the fastest way to get a mature flowering plant. Although it has been eaten as a spice in the past, Sweet Shrub is poisonous in large enough quantities, especially the seed. Don’t confuse it will true Allspice, which is best purchased from the grocery store!

TL;DR in Spanish:

Poda las plantas al inicio del verano, luego de la floración. Protege el calicanto de las enfermedades. Trasplanta el calicanto en otoño o invierno. No ingieras ninguna parte del calicanto.


Sweet persimmons are typically tomato-shaped, and often sold under the name Fuyu in the West. If your persimmon does not match this description, read the ID guide above. You won't enjoy it if you follow these instructions with the wrong type of persimmon. Sweet persimmons taste best when firm and crisp. A ripe persimmon is orange or deep orange-red.  A yellow persimmon is edible, but not fully ripe. Do not eat an unripe green persimmon, which will always taste astringent.  You can eat it overripe as well, with a spoon. This tastes different, but you might like it. Rub the persimmon clean under running water. The peel is edible, so wash it thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, cut off the leaf-like flower and stem. Slice the persimmon into thin wedges or slices, as you would a tomato. The skin is edible and usually thin. If you prefer to peel it, briefly immerse the whole fruit in hot water. Remove with tongs, then peel. This is the same process as blanching tomatoes. A sweet persimmon should be firm and crisp, with a sweet flavor. If there are seeds, remove and discard them.  Try adding lemon juice, or cream and sugar.  For more uses, check out the recipes below.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Confirma que el caqui sea dulce. Cómelo cuando esté firme y tenga un color naranja. Lava el caqui. Quita las hojas y rebánalo. Cómelo crudo.


Sweet potatoes and yams are forgiving vegetables, so you can cook them at temperatures ranging from 375-450°. This means you can place them in the oven while  you cook other food.

TL;DR in Spanish:


Sweet potatoes come in varied shapes and sizes. For noodles, however, favor longer, thinner ones that are relatively uniform in thickness from end to end. As a model, pick those that most closely resemble zucchinis. The more uniform your sweet potato is in thickness, the more uniform your noodles will be. Expect the flesh of these to be more brittle. This means that it’s more likely to break apart, so steer clear of them in order to avoid noodles that snap in two. Discard any sweet potatoes that:  Have dark spots on the skin.  Have any growths developing on the skin. Feel soft to the touch. Leak moisture and/or feel damp. Remember: you don't want to use overripe sweet potatoes for this, so for the best results, make your noodles right after purchase. Otherwise, expect them to last between three to five weeks when stored in the pantry. So err on the side of caution and make your noodles within the next three weeks. If needed, you can store them in the fridge to make them last longer. Refrigeration should make them last between two and three months.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escoge los camotes más largos y delgados. Evita los camotes demasiado maduros. Prepáralos en las siguientes tres semanas como máximo.


Swelling that doesn’t impede your ability to breathe should respond to at-home treatment. If it doesn’t get better after a few hours or starts to get worse, you should seek medical assistance. The doctor can prescribe a stronger treatment, such as corticosteroids.  You should also see the doctor if you’ve never experienced swelling before. Seek emergency medical care if you’re having trouble breathing, have abnormal breathing sounds, or feel faint. These medications reduce inflammation in your body, which in turn reduces swelling. They’re often used after antihistamines alone have been ineffective at reducing swelling.  For example, your doctor may prescribe prednisone. Corticosteroids can have side effects, including fluid retention that can cause swelling, high blood pressure, weight gain, glaucoma, mood issues, behavioral issues, and memory problems.  For a severe reaction, the doctor may administer corticosteroids via an IV.  Follow all of your doctor’s instructions for taking your medication. to discover your triggers, if necessary. Your doctor may order allergy testing. If this occurs, you’ll visit an allergy specialist. A nurse will scratch your skin with a small amount of various allergens. They’ll then monitor your reaction to each substance to see if you are allergic.  Your specialist will evaluate your test results. Based on this information, the specialist can recommend good treatment options for you, such as avoiding your triggers and possibly getting allergy shots.  A single reaction, especially if it's mild, may not warrant testing or regular treatment. A severe reaction, though, or reactions that occur enough to disrupt your daily life should be tested.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Acude al médico si la inflamación persiste o si es grave. Pídele al médico corticosteroides orales. Hazte una prueba de alergias para descubrir tus desencadenantes, si es necesario.


Swimming is different from other forms of exercise; just because you’re good at running or climbing doesn’t mean that you’ll be instantly good at swimming. If you exhaust yourself you’ll be less likely to swim with proper form and won’t see improvement. Therefore, set realistic expectations for yourself when exercising.  For example, if you’re a beginner, try to do one or two laps in the pool without stopping. If this is too easy, add on a few more laps. If you can’t do a lap without stopping, don’t give up! Do as much as you can using the proper form. HIIT workouts, or High Intensity Interval Training workouts, are an excellent way to burn a lot of calories fast. First, swim a lap or two at a moderate pace. Next, swim one lap as quickly as you can. The goal is to raise your heartrate as much as you can. After you finish the lap, do another lap or two at a moderate pace, allowing your body to relax but keeping your heartrate up.  Repeat this process four or five times at first. As you improve, increase the number of repetitions you do. Most pools have a large clock on the wall for interval training. If you want to time yourself, use this clock. It’s easier to stay motivated when you’re surrounded by other motivated people. Many recreational centers and health clubs have group classes for swimming. This is an excellent option for beginners because it removes the unknown factor. The swimming instructor will help you perfect your form and make sure you’re improving at a good pace.  Many classes can be found online. Do a quick search to see if there’s anything offered in your area. If you can’t find anything online, visit your local recreational center and ask a pool employee for help. It’s better to swim slowly but correctly than to swim quickly and badly. By using the correct technique when you swim you’re building the muscles that allow you to swim quickly. As a beginner your focus should be improvement, not speed.  Feel free to take a break if you need to. However, if you’re sharing a lane with other people,...

Swirl the broccoli around the bowl a few times to loosen any larger debris, and then let the vegetable sit undisturbed. While it’s soaking, you can prepare other parts of your meal.

Switch off your computer. Trace the connection of your mouse to the CPU or monitor. Carefully remove the cord from the computer port. If your mouse is wireless, simply remove the USB from the port. You can use water or a mild cleaning agent, such as window cleaner. Apply a small amount to the cloth. Aim for damp, not dripping. Wring out any excess moisture. Run the damp cloth over the surface. Focus on any dirt or grime that has accumulated. Apply gently pressure, moving in a back-and-forth motion until the dirt is gone. Look for any buildup of dirt or grime around the wheel area. Gently insert a toothpick between the scroll wheel and the slot it rests in. To avoid breaking the toothpick, don't apply too much pressure. Scrape outward to remove the buildup. Wipe away any excess that falls on the outside of the mouse. You could use your fingernails instead of a toothpick. Use a separate clean cloth for this step. Make sure it's free of lint to avoid new dirt buildup. Rub the exterior of the mouse until it's completely dry. Flip the mouse so that the bottom of it is facing up. Turn the cover counterclockwise and remove it from the mouse. Cup your free hand. Flip the mouse one more time so that the trackball falls into your free hand. Direct it over the surface of the trackball surface and into the trackball well. This will help to loosen any dirt or debris. If you don't have too much buildup, this might take care of the entire cleaning. Use a dry cloth or tissue for this step. Move over the surface of the trackball. Focus on any stubborn dust or grime that the compressed air didn't remove. Study the interior of the mouse for a few seconds. Look for three rollers that control the motion of the trackball. Often, dirt and grime accumulate on these rollers and cause the trackball to stick.You can remove this buildup by:  Wiping it off with the cloth. Scratching it off with your fingernails, if they're long enough. Scraping it off with tweezers. Drop the trackball into the well. Place the cover on top of the...

Switch the fan on, then pull the cord controlling the fan to ensure that, even if someone flicked the switch on accident, the fan won't start turning while you work on it. If you plan on working on the motor, or want to feel extra secure, flip the circuit breaker so that there is no power in the room you are working on. This, however, will make it difficult to test the fan. Dust, dirt, and debris collecting on the top of the fans can make it off balance, as well as get into the motor or grooves and cause wiggling issues. To clean them:  Take a damp, soapy cloth and wipe down each blade to remove dust. A little dusting solution or a drop of dish soap should be enough. Rinse out the soap and wipe up any suds with a clean, damp cloth. Dry the blades by using a clean towel or paper wipes. This includes the screws holding the blades and any connections between the light and fan. Loose screws on any part of the ceiling fan allow parts to move independently, making the whole thing wobble when the blades get up to speed. The screws should all be hand tight, but don't break your wrist trying to get them extra tight. Once they start resisting your turns, you're good to go. These screws keep the fan attached, and wobbling will be the least of your worries if they get too loose. Undo the screws and slide the canopy down, then hand-tighten any visible screws where the fan meets the ceiling to ensure that the fan is well attached. This small ball fits in a similarly shaped bowl like a bone in a socket. Attached to the ball is the center rod of the fan that keeps everything attached to the ceiling. Make sure the hanger ball is completely seated so the ball fits snugly in its joint and doesn't move around. Reattach the canopy when you're done. These small screws attach at the top of the motor, where the downrod (coming from the ceiling) meets the body of the fan. There are usually 2-3 screws that keep the fan attached, but they may be covered by a small metal piece to make the fan look more appealing. Simply unscrew or push...

Switch your phone to silent and turn off the internet on your computer. Close your door, if you have one, and let others around you know you are not to be disturbed. Block out any loud noises or distractions so you can focus on the freewrite. Some people prefer using a computer as they feel comfortable typing. Others prefer a pen or pencil and paper so they are not tempted to click around on their computer during the freewrite. Choose whatever works best for you. Have the prompt written down in front of you. This will help you think of ideas as you write and act as a guide for the freewrite. Get a stopwatch or use a timer on your cellphone or computer. Freewrites are timed to ensure you stay focused and write. Usually, freewrites are done for 10-15 minutes. You can make the freewrite longer, 15-30 minutes, if you really want to go for it and write for a while. Put your pen to paper or click open a blank document on your computer and set the timer. Then, with the prompt in mind, start writing. Respond to the prompt. Try not to read over what you write or edit it in any way. Simply write, moving forward on the page.  Once the timer goes off, you can stop writing and read what you have written. Avoid doing this during the freewrite, as this will only distract you and force you to stop writing. You can then decide to keep the freewrite and use it to create a new piece or add lines from it to an existing piece. You can also discard it or share it with someone else.

Switching to any new diet or eating pattern will most likely require that you prep your kitchen and re-stock your pantry and refrigerator with new or different types of foods.  Purchase a variety of seafood each week.  Keep frozen seafood, canned tuna or salmon or frozen salmon or tuna burgers on hand as well.  They have a longer shelf life and can be used in a pinch or when fresh seafood isn't available. You might also want to consider purchasing special kitchen tools or equipment.  For example, a fish filleting knife, fish spatula or boning tweezers; however, these aren't necessary for general seafood preparation. Purchase spices or seasonings that complement seafood well.  For example, Old Bay is a mixed seasoning blend designed for fish and shellfish.  It's a quick all-in-one spice that will boost up the flavor of your dishes. In addition, stock up on fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains so you have all the food groups to make well-balanced meals. .  If you're busy or on the go, prepping weekly meal plans can help you easily implement a pescetarian diet.  Take an hour or two each week and write out each of your meals.  Then, write up a grocery list of all the items you need to purchase that week.  It'll help keep you on track and minimize the time you spending shopping and looking for items in the store.  Find meals that can be prepared in advanced.  If your weeknights are busy, doing some meal prep on the weekends or during your free time can make weeknight dinners a breeze.  Prepare lunches or parts of your dinners ahead to cut down on cooking time. Creating meal plans in advance can also help cut down on costs.  You'll buy the items that you need and skip purchasing things you think you need but already have at home.

Switzerland has a number of different types of banks, from large, international banks to smaller, regional banks that only serve a small geographical area. However, the private banks that cater specifically to wealthy and international clients are generally separate banking entities entirely. That is, they are rarely connected to banks offering regular banking services in Switzerland. Private banks can either be located through an online search for "private Swiss bank" or through a banking broker. A few of the more well-known of these banks are:  Pictet Private Banking. SwissPartners. Vontobel Private Banking. UBS Private Banking. Swiss private bank accounts are intended for wealthy clients, and their initial required deposits reflect that. For many of these banks, depositors must have an initial deposit of up to 1 million Swiss Francs (about 1.05M USD). However, some of them allow deposits of lower amounts, like 250,000 Swiss Francs. Check with each bank to inquire about these limits. To open a Swiss account, you will need documents proving your identity and the source of your funds. Obviously, you will also need your initial deposit, in the form of a wire transfer, check, or cash (if the bank will allow it). Specifically, you'll need to gather:  A valid passport. Some document verifying your address. A way to prove the legitimacy of the source of your deposit (financial statements, inheritance documents, etc.) Identification for beneficiaries of the account. Other documents as requested by the bank. For many private banks, you will have to travel to Switzerland and meet with a private banker to set up your account. Some Swiss banks allows online account signups or mail-order ones, but the vast majority of the private banks require either an in-person meeting or working through an intermediary, like a financial services company or law firm. Once you have made contact with the bank, a Swiss private banker will talk you through the procedure of opening an account.

Swollen gums can be quite painful and may even trigger severe pain from the nerves in your jawbone. To reduce the pain before seeing a dentist, take over-the-counter acetaminophen or ibuprofen pills.  Make sure to follow the dosage instructions on the medication bottle. Also, talk with your doctor if you are taking other medication that might interfere or react badly with pain meds. Get small plastic bag and fill it up with ice cubes. Wrap a clean washcloth around the bag and place this pack against the side of your mouth. You can also use a prepackaged cold compress that you’ve placed in the freezer. Keep the pack or compress against your face for a maximum of 15 minutes at a time. You can repeat this process throughout the day, if your pain flares up. Put a banana or a handful of grapes into the freezer. Chew on them when you need a quick snack and your gums are swollen. You can also try sucking on a popsicle or eating ice cream. Any kind of cold food will help to reduce the swelling temporarily and may provide some pain relief, too.  Brush your teeth after eating, especially if you choose sugary cold foods. This will help prevent the problem from worsening. Cold foods may not help you if you're sensitive to cold. Get an over-the-counter gel or paste that contains around 20% benzocaine. Apply this medicine to your gums as needed. It’s not a good idea to use benzocaine as a long term solution, though, as it will only provide temporary pain relief. Fill a glass with warm water. Stir in ½ to 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of salt with a spoon. Take a sip from the glass, and swish and gargle for 30 seconds. Then spit the salt water out into the sink. You can repeat this process up to 3 times per day. The salt helps to reduce the bad bacteria in your mouth. In a small dish, mix 2 drops of clove essential oil and ½ teaspoon olive oil. Dip a cotton ball into the mixture. Then, rub the cotton ball on your gums for 3-4 minutes or until the pain begins to lessen. Clove oil may have anti-inflammatory properties. Get 1 small...

Symbolically, the Leo sign is associated with the lion. Like the lion, they feel they are the kings/queens of their domain. A Leo will react positively if you express loyalty and adoration. Along with your apology, lavish them with attention and pamper them.   Leos don’t like to be unhappy, and they are quick to forgive when the apology is done right. Offering a small, thoughtful gift along with your apology might also be effective. Since Leos like to be lavished with attention, an apology might be more effective if you work in a few sincere compliments. Leos love the attention and they never tire of hearing good things about themselves. It might feel a little over-the-top or strange to couple an apology with compliments, but give it a try.  Example: “I really look up to you because of how hard-working you are. I’m really sorry that I didn’t finish my part of the project, and I understand why it would upset you.” Example: “I know how much you value friendship – it’s one of my favorite things about you. Anyone would be upset if their best friend forgot their birthday, but I know it’s especially hurtful to you and I’m very sorry.” Leos have a flair for the dramatic and they want to be the center of attention. If you’ve upset a Leo, be prepared to give them your complete attention. Allow them the chance to fully explain their thoughts and feelings about the matter. Don’t interrupt them. If they clam up at first, encourage them to open up. It won’t take much.  Example: “I’m know I’ve upset you and I’m very sorry. Can you tell me how you’re feeling about this situation?” Example: “Please tell me exactly what you’re thinking and feeling – I know that I’ve offended you, and I want to make sure I never repeat this same mistake.” When a Leo feels hurt, they will make sure you know it. It's best to take them aside for an earnest and private conversation. Explain that you are sincerely sorry, and that you'll be more careful with their feelings. Look them directly in the eye during the apology. Speak in a serious tone....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Trátalo como si fuera parte de la realeza. Hazle un cumplido. Deja que sea el centro de atención. Sé sincero.


Symptoms for chronic fatigue often come and go. When you have a number of the following symptoms for extended period of time, such as greater than six months, and seems to be worsening, you need to be evaluated by a physician. Symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) include:    You feel tired for more than 24 hours after exertion. Notice if you are excessively tired for long periods of time after exerting yourself through intensive physical or mental activities. This is an important symptom to notice, as most of the time, exercise should leave you feeling energized, not fatigued. You feel unrefreshed after sleep. Sleep should make you feel better. If you don’t feel better after sleep or suffer from insomnia, you may be suffering from CFS. You lack short-term memory. You may easily misplace things or forget what someone has just told you. You also may experience general confusion or have trouble concentrating. You suffer from muscle pain. You may experience soreness or muscle weakness not due to exertion.   You experience joint pain. Your joints may hurt even though you do not have swelling or redness. You have mild to severe headaches. These headaches differ from those you’ve had in the past and you can find no cause for them. You feel enlarged lymph nodes in your neck or armpits. Swollen glands mean your body is fighting illness or an infection.   You have a sore throat. Your throat may be sore, but is not linked to other cold or flu-like symptoms. Your chronic fatigue may be linked to changes in your lifestyle. Consider any recent changes in your life.  If you’ve recently had a viral infection, this may be a sign of CFS. Viral infections can be triggers for chronic fatigue. Problems with the immune system can also lead to chronic fatigue. Remember if you’ve had any recent issues with your immune system. Low blood pressure is often found in CFS patients. Monitor your blood pressure to see if it falls within the normal range.

Symptoms of depression can include unexplained aches and pains or bodily discomfort. Other symptoms can include headaches, back pain, and stomach pain. While these symptoms often do not have a medical cause, they can be symptoms of depression.  While symptoms may be medically unexplained, it’s important to look into the motivation of the pains or discomfort. These aches and pains may be manifestations of the feelings of depression, and the individual may show other symptoms of depression, such as low mood or energy, changes in appetite or sleep, and difficulty concentrating. If it appears to be attention-seeking behavior, it may be factitious disorder. For more information on depression, check out How to Tell if You Are Depressed. Obsessive compulsive disorder can include unexplained medical symptoms, such as being convinced one is dying or suffering a heart attack or another severe disorder. A person may become obsessed with the idea that they are sick and needs treatment, and may demand medical tests and treatment. These obsessive thoughts may also have a compulsive component, like ritualistic cleansing or showering, repeatedly undergoing tests, or praying excessively.  A person with OCD actively wants to get rid of the perceived medical disorder, which causes extreme stress. Like people with factitious disorder, they may be adamant that they are suffering from an illness or disease, and may be frustrated when medical professionals do not take the symptoms seriously. Unlike people diagnosed with factitious disorder, they want the symptoms to go away and do not perceive positive reinforcement from being medically treated. For more information on OCD, check out How to Know if You Have OCD. Some symptoms of anxiety can manifest physically, such as shallow breathing/shortness of breath, stomach upset, dizziness, muscle tension, headaches, sweating, tremors or twitches, and frequent urination. While these symptoms are a manifestation of anxiety, they can be confused with having a medical origin.  People with...

Symptoms of kidney stones include sharp pain in the sides, back, groin, or lower abdomen, as well as pain while urinating, cloudy urine, and the inability to urinate or blood in your urine. See your doctor for an accurate diagnosis and to come up with the proper treatment plan. Doctors diagnose kidney stones using blood and urine tests, ultrasounds, and x-rays. Tests and imaging scans can let them know what kind of stones you have, how large they are, and whether they're small enough to pass on their own. Water flushes your kidneys and can help the stones pass. Check your urine to monitor your fluid intake. If your urine is pale yellow, you're drinking enough water. If it's dark, you're dehydrated.  Staying hydrated can help prevent future stones from forming, so drinking plenty of water every day is essential. Water is best, but you can also drink ginger ale and some types of 100% fruit juice in moderation. Avoid drinking grapefruit juice and cranberry juice, which can increase the risk of kidney stones.  Avoid caffeine or limit your consumption, as it can lead to dehydration. Try to drink no more than 1  c (240 mL) of caffeinated coffee, tea, or cola per day. While most kidney stones go away without medical treatment, passing them is still a painful process. To manage pain, take an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as ibuprofen or aspirin. Check the label, and use your medication as directed.  If over-the-counter pain relievers aren't effective, ask your doctor for a prescription medication. If necessary, they'll give you a prescription-strength pain reliever (such as ibuprofen) or, in some cases, prescribe a narcotic pain reliever.  Be sure to take any prescription medication according to your doctor's instructions. Alpha-blockers relax muscles in the urinary tract and can make it easier to pass kidney stones. They're available by prescription and, typically, should be taken 30 minutes after a meal at the same time daily. Side effects may include dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness, diarrhea, and...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Consulta con tu doctor si es que sospechas que tienes piedras en el riñón. Bebe entre 6 y 8 vasos de agua (1,5 a 2 litros) al día como mínimo. Toma analgésicos según sea necesario o según lo recomiende tu doctor. Pregúntale a tu doctor si es que te recomienda un alfabloqueador.

Symptoms of leptospirosis can vary and can look like symptoms associated with other infections or illnesses. If you develop flu-like symptoms suddenly, don’t assume it is flu if there is the possibility of exposure. Leptospirosis generally presents with flu-like symptoms including fever, myalgia, rigor, and headache. A high fever and chills can indicate infection because your body is trying to fight off the infection. If you feel excessively warm suddenly, or have chills, take your temperature and call your doctor. Some people experience symptoms of light sensitivity and headache with this kind of infection. If you develop a painful reaction to light or intense headaches along with other symptoms, get medical attention. Muscle aches are a common symptom of infection too. Because muscle aches are symptoms of fever or flu as well as leptospirosis, review your recent activities before deciding these are merely flu symptoms. You may feel nausea with or without vomiting or diarrhea. Let your doctor know about any sudden stomach problems. Jaundice may appear later as the infection progresses, and can indicate serious liver problems. Jaundice will typically appear 4-5 days after exposure, so review activities during that time period to assess exposure risks. Pain in the right upper abdominal area is a symptom of second phase infection. Often leptospirosis can develop into chronic renal disease. If you develop pain in this area, see a doctor right away. Sudden rash that is dark red to purple in color is symptomatic of infection. A rash that is concentrated on the lower body or palette of the mouth is specifically associated with this kind of infection.

TL;DR in Spanish:

No confundas los síntomas con la gripe. Tómate la temperatura. Presta atención al dolor de ojos o de cabeza. Toma nota de cualquier dolor. Toma en serio cualquier sensación de náuseas. Presta atención a los cambios en tu coloración. Fíjate si sientes dolor abdominal. Presta atención a cualquier signo de erupción.


Symptoms usually start when a hedgehog is between the ages of one year and 36 months old. If you notice any of the following symptoms, your hedgehog may have Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome:  Swaying and instability while standing still Tremors Regularly falling to one side Seizures Weakening muscles Partial paralysis of some limbs Muscle atrophy Slow progressive weight loss If you don't already have a vet, you should find one as soon as you notice symptoms of Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome. Hedgehogs are considered exotic pets, so you'll need to find a vet in your region that treats exotic animals. You can look for a vet online or search the local yellow pages. Pet stores that sell exotic pets or hedgehog breeders often offer vet recommendations. If you're still in contact with the store or breeder where you bought your hedgehog, reach out to them for recommendations. The symptoms of Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome can be caused by other neurological problems. However, keep in mind that a definitive diagnosis can only be confirmed using a necropsy after death. Your vet will likely need to take x-rays and conduct blood work to rule out other issues and get a working diagnosis. It's never easy to hear your pet has a terminal condition. The more information you know about the progression of the disease, the better. Talk to your vet about your hedgehog's life expectancy and ask what you can do to slow the progression of symptoms. Your vet may have specific recommendations for your hedgehog's diet and habitat depending on the stage of its illness.

Symptoms:  Cattle with acute acidosis may go into shock and die suddenly due to a result of overwhelming increase in acidity in the rumen. Those that do not die quickly are listless and often lethargic, and wander aimlessly around the pen, or just simply don't get up from lying down.  They also often appear weak and anorexic and dehydrated. Related health problems may occur from an animal having acute acidosis. Rumen lining may be damaged from the sudden drop in acidity leaving the lining of the stomach to be damaged, causing rumenitis, or an infection of the rumen wall.  Inflammation also occurs in the abomasum and intestinal walls, often destroy the villi that are responsible for nutrient absorption from the digesta. Poor feed efficiency, slow growth, poor weight gain or a drop in milk production is often a result of this inflammatory damage.  Occasionally acidosis is responsible for a suppressed immune system which may prevent an animal's ability to ward off infection from airborne or communicable viruses or bacteria. Founder (also called Laminitis) and bloat are also a result of this metabolic disorder.  Founder often leaves cattle permanently lame.  This is a serious case for young bulls that are being feed-tested prior to sale, more so than in dairy cows or feedlot steers/heifers. Bloat is a serious disorder that disables a bovine to release any gases that have built up in the rumen.  The rumen can engorge so much that it crushes the lungs and eventually asphyxiates cattle if not treated immediately.   Liver abscesses are also common in cattle that had acidosis.  Reduced feed intake, feed efficiency, weight gain and carcass yield is often a result of abscesses in the liver. Liver abscesses often cannot be seen until the animal is slaughtered.  Abscessed livers are condemned at slaughter, because they are not deemed safe for humans to eat.  Polioencephalomalacia (not related to the paralyzing human version of polio) is also a concern for cattle that have had acidosis. Thiamine is often a highly...

Syncing music from iTunes to your iPod is easiest if you have the music you want already in a playlist. While you can sync individual songs, it's much easier to sync playlists, artists, genres, and albums. Use the USB cable that came with your iPod to plug it into your computer. You should see your iPod appear in the left sidebar, under the Devices heading. Select it to choose what you want to sync. By default, iTunes will attempt to sync all of the music in your Library. Select your iPod from the left sidebar, and then click the Music tab at the top of the window. Check the "Sync Music" box if it is not already checked, and then click "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres".  In the frames below, check the playlists, artists, albums, and genres that you want to syn to your iPod. The bar at the bottom of the window will show you how much free space your iPod has. As you check more things in your library, the bar will increase. Click the Apply button at the bottom of the Music tab after you have made your selections. Everything that you have checked will be synced to your iPod.  The syncing process may take awhile, especially if you are syncing a lot of music. You can monitor the progress at the top of the window. When you sync your iPod, any music that is not on your sync list but is on your iPod will be removed from the iPod. While iTunes normally syncs playlists, albums, and other collections of music, you can manage the sync process and choose each and every song that you want to sync. To do so, click the Summary tab and check the "Manually manage music and videos" box at the bottom of the screen.  Go through your Library and check each of the songs that you want to add to your iPod. Once you have finished selecting your music, return to the Summary tab and click the Sync button. The syncing process may take awhile, especially if you are syncing a lot of music. You can monitor the progress at the top of the window. .

Synthetic fur is slippery, silky, and even feels fake. Real UGG boots use fur that is a bit rougher to the touch. The fur should be a creamy color with a thick texture. Counterfeit boots have grey-colored, thin, synthetic fur on the inside that cannot be seen from the top opening. There is a layer of foam between the inner and outer lining of the boot. Real UGG boots are easy to bend and walk in, while fake ones are stiff and unyielding. Gently try to move the sole of your boot to see how flexible it is; if it is difficult to move, the boots may be fake. Check the foil strip on the label behind the shoe size and the materials label on the left boot. If there isn’t a sewn-in-label, there should be a security sticker on the sole of the left shoe. Turn your boot over to see the holographic UGG label with a sun symbol. If the boots are real, when you turn the boot 90 degrees, it will change from black to white.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Toca la piel interior de las botas. Dobla la suela de la bota. Mira las etiquetas de seguridad.


Synthetic materials like nylon and polyester keep in moisture and heat around your genital area, creating an environment that’s good for harmful bacteria and yeast. To prevent this, opt for more breathable cotton underwear, and change into a fresh pair daily (or more often, if your underwear gets damp or sweaty).  Avoid thongs and tight-fitting leggings or pants, since these can trap heat and moisture and irritate your vulva.  Try sleeping without underwear or wearing loose cotton boxers at night. New underwear may have harsh dyes or chemical residues that can irritate your vulva and vagina. Always wash your underwear before wearing it for the first time. When you wash your underwear, use a mild, unscented detergent. You can also use an extra rinse cycle to make sure all the detergent is rinsed out. Whenever you use the toilet, gently wipe from front to back—even if you’ve only urinated. Wiping from back to front can move bacteria from your anal area into your vagina or urethra, putting you at risk of developing a vaginal or urinary tract infection. Avoid toilet papers that contain perfumes, dyes, or lotions, since these can irritate your vulva and vagina. Stick to plain white paper. Doctors don’t recommend using wet wipes—even unscented ones—to wipe yourself. If you have trouble getting fresh and clean after a bowel movement, you can make wiping easier by adding a little mineral oil or unscented soap (such as Dove or Cetaphil body wash) to your toilet paper. Rinse off with a little water when you’re done, and pat yourself dry. Studies show that using feminine wipes can not only cause pain and irritation, but may significantly increase your chances of getting a urinary tract infection. After you swim or exercise, change out of your wet clothing right away and dry yourself off thoroughly. Staying in wet or sweaty clothing can promote the growth of harmful bacteria and yeast in and around your vagina. It’s also a good idea to shower as soon as you can after exercising or swimming to wash away sweat, grime, or...

Synthetic saltwater mixes simulate the mix of chemicals that occur naturally in the ocean. You can purchase a large container of salt mix online or from stores that specialize in marine life. Don’t use table salt. Table salt only contains sodium rather than the necessary mix of chemicals. Use distilled water since tap water could contain silicates that create algae and dirty your tank. Make sure the bucket is not filled to the top since adding salt will raise the water level. If you do not have marine life yet, you can mix the water directly in the tank. After you add fish or coral, you need to mix saltwater in a separate container. Each salt mix will have a different ratio of cups per gallon. A good baseline is ½ cup (150 g) per 1 US gal (3.8 L) of water. Follow the instructions carefully if they are different. As you add the mix, stir it with a wooden spoon to help it dissolve faster. Purchase a hydrometer online or from a store specializing in saltwater aquariums. Dip the hydrometer in the water until it fills up. Tap it on a level surface and let it rest for 10 seconds. Look where the arrow is pointing to determine the specific gravity.  If the specific gravity reads lower than 1.025, add ½ cup (150 g) of the salt mix and test the water again. If it reads higher, add 1⁄4 US gal (0.95 L) of distilled water. Specific gravity measures the density of the water compared to pure water. It is an indirect measurement of salinity that hydrometers read. Position the pump so it creates turbulence and movement on the surface of the water. This helps the water aerate. Then drop the heater in the water, making sure the thermostat is set to the same temperature as your aquarium, which should be 70–80 °F (21–27 °C). Keep the pump and heater running throughout the night for at least 6 hours. This gives enough time for the salt mix to completely dissolve and reach the correct temperature. Cover the bucket with a lid so contaminants don't fall into the water. Use the hydrometer to see if the specific gravity has changed....

TL;DR in Spanish:

Compra una mezcla de sal hecha para arrecifes. Llena un balde con 15 litros (4 galones) de agua destilada. Vierte la cantidad de mezcla de sal como se especifica en las instrucciones y revuélvela. Prueba el agua con un hidrómetro hasta que la gravedad específica sea de 1,025. Sumerge una bomba y un calefactor para que el agua circule y se caliente. Deja que el agua circule y se caliente durante la noche. Prueba la gravedad específica nuevamente al día siguiente.


Syrian hamsters are good pets, partially because they are solitary animals, but they can be quite hard to breed. If the male and female are introduced at the wrong time, they may fight. Dwarf hamsters are thought to be nippy with humans, but are more social with each other, and can actually be easier to breed. There are also Russian hamsters, winter white hamsters, and other varieties. If you're buying from a breeder, talk about the different varieties and discover whether they are social or not, to have some sense of the breeding process. It's best to get your breeding hamsters from a breeder, so you have a wide selection of colours and types. It's also good to know the breeding history of the hamsters. At a pet shop, you will often find siblings or hybrid breed hamsters that are less desirable for breeding. Also, pet store workers often have a difficult time telling the difference between males and females. Make sure that their eyes are clear and bright, their fur is smooth and glossy, and that they look active and interested in their surroundings. Plastic bin cages or aquariums are a massive advantage in breeding. Put one hamster in each cage and fill the bottom with wood shavings, megazorb, or carefresh. Try to avoid sawdust, as this gets into hamsters' eyes and can affect their breathing.  Avoid wire cages. Hamsters, especially newborn ones, can squeeze out through them. Get a small plastic or preferably wood "hamster home" for your hamster to huddle in. Fill it with some of the same shavings as in the cage. A hamster wheel is also a must for the habitat. For dwarf hamsters the size can be almost any size, as long as they are able to use it, but for Syrians it must be more than 8 inches (20.3 cm), and it should be plastic, not wire, as holes in these wheels are very likely to harm your hamster. Also, never give your hamster a wheel where it's running with an arched back, even just a little, as that can cause serious health problems. You'll also need a water bottle, food bowl, hamster food, treats, and...

Syringes are categorized by how their parts work and how they are designed to function. Common syringes most recently used in clinical practice are called luer-lok syringes. Luer-lok describes the type of locking mechanism built into the tip of the syringe. The mechanism works by securely holding luer-lok needles once they are twisted in place. Using this type of syringe requires an added step in assembly. The added step is to secure the needle to the syringe, prior to drawing up the medication. Examples of syringe types that are designed for a certain purpose or function include an insulin syringe, tuberculin syringe, and safety syringe.  Insulin syringes are intended only for giving insulin. The barrel is graduated in units instead of mls. Tuberculin syringes are used when you need to give a very small dose of a medication, such as 0.5mls. A safety syringe is an all-in-one unit. That means that the syringe has a pre-attached needle, so the added step of attaching the needle by hand is not needed.  A safety syringe also has a built-in mechanism that either covers, or retracts, the needle once the medication has been administered to the patient. Due to the increasing number of healthcare accidents involving needle sticks, regulatory agencies are mandating the use of safety syringes in healthcare facilities. Safety syringes are recommended by health organizations including the CDC and the World Health Organization. A syringe is made of 3 basic parts. Those parts include the barrel, the plunger, and the tip. The barrel is the clear part in the middle that holds the medication. The barrel is marked with numbers and lines in a graduated manner. These help to guide you as you fill the syringe. The inside of the barrel is considered to be a sterile environment.  The numbers indicate the amount of medication you are putting in the syringe in mls, or ccs. The abbreviation “mls” stands for milliliters. The abbreviation “ccs” stands for cubic centimeters. ONE ml is the same as ONE cc. The numbers and lines on an...

TS is caused by a missing, partly missing, or abnormal “X” chromosome in a female.  All indications are that this is a random developmental occurrence, and that family history plays no role.  This means, for instance, that you are no more likely to have a second child with TS if you already have one with the condition.  A male gets an X chromosome from his mother and a Y chromosome from his father; A female gets two X’s, one from each parent.  Females with TS, however, are either missing one of the X’s (monosomy); have one X that is damaged or partly missing (mosaicism); or have traces of Y chromosomal material mixed in.  TS occurs in about 1 in 2,500 female births worldwide.  This ratio, however, is much higher among miscarried and stillborn females, of which TS can play a significant role.  Testing improvements also mean that an indeterminate (but likely higher) ratio of fetuses with TS are aborted. Beyond the typical impacts on physical growth and reproductive development, the possible effects of TS are wide-ranging and can vary greatly from person to person.  The precise nature of the X chromosome abnormality and a host of other factors play into determining just how TS will affect a female.  Expect, however, to face numerous challenges. Complications arising from TS can include, but are by no means limited to:  heart and kidney defects; increased risks for diabetes and high blood pressure; hearing loss; vision, dental, and skeletal problems; immune disorders such as an underactive thyroid; infertility (in nearly all cases) or significant pregnancy complications; and psychological conditions such as ADHD. Females with TS are 30% more likely to have congenital heart defects, and 30% more likely to have kidney abnormalities.  All females diagnosed with TS, therefore, should undergo a cardiac evaluation and renal ultrasound, and continue to have regular checkups with specialists in these areas.  A female with TS should also undergo regular blood pressure, thyroid, and hearing tests, among other tests and...

Tables are both appealing and functional pieces of furniture. As a general rule, each piece of seating furniture should have some sort of table within reach. If possible, select a coffee table that is light, so you can easily move it if necessary.   Your tables don’t necessarily have to match, but they should have a cohesive look. For instance, if your coffee table is reclaimed wood, try to stick with other wooden tables to fit the theme of the room. In addition to choosing tables that fit the look of your living room as a whole, you can also style your coffee table or end tables with additional accents that match the look, such as books or plants. Choose a rug that compliments the color of your seating, the flooring, and your accent colors. It should be cohesive with the space, but can still be a focal point. Make sure it’s large enough to fit under the seating area, but not so large that it takes up the whole room. Position it in the center of the seating area to pull the space together.   Area rugs work well even on carpeted floors, as long as they don’t clash too much with the color of the carpet. For added safety on wood or laminate floors, place sticky webbing from the home improvement store under the rug. The webbing will keep it from slipping when someone steps on it! Many living rooms have insufficient overhead lighting, or none at all. If you have an area of your living room that doesn’t get much light, place a table lamp or floor lamp there to brighten up the space as needed.  If you want a more coordinated look, pick up 2 matching lamps and place them on opposite ends of the room. Or, update your existing lamps by painting the bases and swapping out the shades. Make sure that the light fixtures and shades are positioned in a way that doesn’t obstruct anyone’s view. Hang fun art or pictures of your family around the room at about eye level. Try to avoid having more than 2-3 pieces of art in the room, as it can make the space feel overly cluttered. When in doubt, refer to your color scheme for art...
