Article in English: Talk to radio stations in your area about buying air time or any open positions they might have for a radio host for their main programming. Talk to them about the type of show you want to have and ask about their process for new radio show hosts.  Make sure to secure radio time on the same day and time each week or day to help build up a larger listenership of people who can expect to hear your show at a certain time.  If you’re looking to be a radio DJ and play music, contact stations that play the type of music you would want to play, i.e. alternative, country, rock, etc. The same goes for spoken audio shows: you will want to reach out to public talk radio stations about your news or documentary style show. If you’re in high school or college, talk to your school’s radio station about hosting your own show and what’s required for you to do so. Tape a radio show using whatever equipment you have available and broadcast it online for the potential of having listeners from all over the world. Broadcast a show live online, or make it available through a podcast service.  Podcasts are a very popular off-shoot from live radio broadcast, and a great option if you want to produce a radio show but can’t find a source to broadcast it live. Starting a podcast allows you to pre-record and edit a show before releasing it on the internet.  Try free programs like Spreaker, Radionomy, or BlogTalkRadio that can help you to record, edit, and broadcast your own radio show. Create your own independent radio show using equipment available to you. Edit it and submit it to radio show contests for the chance to have it featured on a popular station or outlet, and possibly even secure your own regular broadcast.  Submit your radio show to a local radio station if they’re holding a contest for amateur radio show hosts, or to a larger network of radio stations like iHeartRadio for even more exposure.  Find support and the potential for an ongoing podcast series with programs like Radiotopia.

Article in English: Talk to various organizations and learn where the bulk of their money goes to. Find out how the economics of poverty to work out and how trade between countries plays into alleviating or making worse the poverty.   You'll need to learn how your own government functions with providing aid and where that money goes to and how it is used. Often, the rich countries that provide "aid" actually limit market access to the poverty-stricken countries and put stipulations on the aid packages that the aid-receiving countries must use over-priced services and goods from the donor countries.  Learning how aid works and how the economics of poverty work, will help you to determine the organizations that are worthiest of your support. Sometimes it is more effective to show your support for a particular bill, such as the Global Food and Security Act in the U.S. Check out the Legislation page of borgenproject.org to see which anti-poverty bills are currently going through the House of Representatives and Senate. There are a huge amount of organizations, non-profits, and Non-Government Organizations seeking to eliminate poverty. The best organizations tend to be the ones that support economic development and self-sufficiency in the developing country rather than simply pouring money and over-priced products in where they will do little good.   Give money directly to those who need it. Groups like Give Directly or Kiva  help you give money directly to those who need it most in places like Kenya and Uganda. The program has allowed people who otherwise wouldn't have been able to, to buy a motorcycle to use as a taxi or to buy a mill and go into the corn grinding business. The idea is that the money reaches those who need it without jumping through the hoops of charities, who might or might not be providing the right aid and opportunities.  An organization like Mercy Corps focuses on emergency response in countries in various states of upheaval. These types of countries are ripe for challenging the status quo and building...

Article in English: Talk to your doctor about why vitamin B12 injections may be a good treatment for you. Your doctor will want to run some tests to check the levels of B12 in your blood and potentially some other lab work. If your doctor feels you are a good candidate for vitamin B12 injections, she will give you a prescription for a certain dosage. She should also teach you how to perform the injection, or show the person who will be doing the injections for you. You should not attempt to administer these shots without proper training.  You will then need to fill your prescription at your local pharmacy. Never take more than the prescribed amount of vitamin B12. While using vitamin B12 injections, your doctor may require regular blood tests to check your body's reaction to the injections. Talk to your doctor about allergies and other conditions which may make you ineligible for a B12 shot. Because vitamin B12 injections contain cyanocobalamin, you should not use this medication if you are allergic to cyanocobalamin or cobalt, or if you have Leber’s disease, which is an inherited form of vision loss. You should not get the shot if you have any of the following:  Cold or allergy symptoms that affect your nose, such as sinus congestion or sneezing. Kidney or liver disease. Iron or folic acid deficiency. Any type of infection. If you are receiving any medication or treatments that affects your bone marrow. If you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant while using vitamin B12 injections. Cyanocobalamin can pass into your breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. If you suffer from anemia or a vitamin B12 deficiency, you may need vitamin B12 injections as a form of treatment. Some people also have difficulty absorbing vitamin B12 in food or through oral vitamin B12 supplements and resort to injections of vitamin B12. Vegetarians who do not consume any animal foods may also benefit from vitamin B12 supplements to ensure they remain healthy. However, keep in mind vitamin B12 injections are not medically proven to help with weight...

Article in English: Talk to your doctor before adding any new medications to your existing regimen. Commonly recommended over-the-counter drugs include anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin. Acetaminophen is helpful in providing added relief for the pain. Take the medications exactly as prescribed and talk to your doctor if you experience any side effects. Do not continue to take over-the-counter medications with prescription strength medications, unless your doctor specifically tells you to do so. Combining over-the-counter drugs with prescribed pain medications, anti-inflammatory agents, and muscle relaxers can be dangerous. Allow your body the time it needs to heal by getting enough rest while you pursue proper care. Appropriate care will likely include resting in short segments, like 30 minutes at a time, then walking or doing some light movements as recommended by your doctor and physical therapist. Avoid activities that can aggravate your condition, especially bending over and lifting and any twisting type of movement. Move slowly, and stop any activity if you feel pain. Pursue physical therapy that will include specific types of exercise to improve your condition. Initially the painful area will likely be swollen and inflamed. Applying ice, instead of heat, can help to reduce swelling and inflammation, and relieve the pain. Apply ice to the area for five minutes every hour. By the third or fourth hour, you should notice some relief. Continue to use the ice on the area of the bulging disc first, then you may also apply ice to any other affected areas, like painful nerves down your leg. Follow your doctor or therapist’s advice on how long, and how often, to continue the ice applications. Using applications of heat can be soothing to tight and sore muscles, and improve blood flow to the area. Improved blood flow means more oxygen to the muscles, and nutrients to the damaged disc. Talk to your doctor or physical therapist to determine the proper rotation of hot and cold that is best suited to your condition.

Article in English: Talk with a banker about account options for teens. They may have special accounts for you. You can choose a bank that your parents use, or you can choose a different bank. Credit unions are a good option, as they tend to have fewer fees than regular banks. A savings account is primarily for depositing money, rather than withdrawing. While you can withdraw money from a savings account, it can often be more restrictive. There are no checks, and debit cards are not always tied to savings accounts. Also, some banks may limit the number of withdrawals per month that someone can do. A checking account can be more convenient if you need ready access to your money. This can, however, make it more tempting to spend your money instead of saving it. Some accounts have monthly fees or maintenance fees attached. They can also have overdraft fees of $30-$50 if you overdraw your account. These can be costly and add up quickly. Also check for other account requirements, such as minimum balances. You will probably need to open your account with your parent or guardian, who will typically have full access to your account. Bring current photo identification, such as a student ID card or a passport, as well as your social security card. Your parent or guardian will likely need to bring two forms of photo ID. Check with your bank to determine the exact requirements for opening an account. You may need a minimum balance in your bank account. At any rate, deposit some amount of money into the account so that you can start to watch the balance grow right away. Stick to your savings schedule and take money to the bank for regular deposits. You can either deposit the money inside the bank with a teller, or you can make a deposit at an ATM. Record deposits, along with any withdrawals (account fees, your own spending, etc.) in a register to track your balance. Compare with your bank statement every month. You can also track online through internet banking.

Article in English: Talk with your dermatologist about the best product choices. While oil production is directly linked to acne, drying out your skin too much will eventually cause more oil to be produced. This can cause your acne to get worse. Some acne products dry out your skin, so it is important to keep your skin moisturized properly. Skin damage from the sun can make acne worse, plus lead to other serious skin diseases. Before going into the sun, always apply sunscreen to prevent sun damage. Your dermatologist can help you choose the best sunscreen product for your skin type. Squeezing, picking, or pinching areas of acne actually make things worse. This can also lead to scarring, or darkened areas on your skin. Stress does not directly cause acne, but it can make it worse. Develop new hobbies and discover relaxation tools to help you unwind and stay stress-free.

Article in English: Talk with your spouse when both of you are well-rested and able to focus. Don't try to solve problems when one or both of you are distracted, tired, or hungry. For instance, if your spouse has just come home from work, give them some time to unwind before you bring up something that's bothering you. Stay calm by sitting down to talk, instead of pacing around the room. Make eye contact with your spouse. Making eye contact shows your spouse that you're listening to them and care what they have to say. It also helps you feel more connected to each other. Tell your spouse what's bothering you. Speak calmly and avoid rambling. If you're arguing about an issue that seems minor on the surface, try to figure out what the underlying problem is. For instance, you could say, “I wish you would clean up the kitchen after you're finished cooking. When you leave it messy, I feel like you don't appreciate how hard I work to keep the place clean.” Don't throw accusations at your spouse. This will make them feel defensive, and your argument could turn into a full-blown fight. Instead, tell them how you feel and what you think.  It's also a good idea to steer clear of the words “always” and “never.” For example, instead of saying, “You never tell me when you're going to be working late,” say, “I feel unimportant to you when you work overtime and don't text me.” . Keep an open mind as you listen to your spouse. Pay attention to their body language as well as their words. Make sure you understand what they're saying by mirroring their statements. For example, if your spouse says, “I just need time alone sometimes,” you could mirror that statement by saying, “So you feel like you can unwind and relax best by yourself, is that right?” Work with your spouse to find a solution you're both happy with. If you can't find a compromise that works for both of you, try taking turns with your preferred solutions.  For instance, if your spouse prefers to use the dishwasher and you would rather wash dishes by hand, try using each method on...

Article in English: Talking about oral sex isn't just about your needs. As a couple, you've both got a responsibility to help each other enjoy your sex life, meaning you should bring up your own questions about what to do and what she likes when talking about oral sex.  "Do you like when I go down on you?" "Are there things we can do to make sex more enjoyable for us?" "I'd like to bring more oral sex into the bedroom for us both -- what do you think?" This isn't the time to push your wants and desires, this is about her. Oral sex is frequently something one partner does for the other, letting them relax while you pleasure them exclusively. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't enjoy it and feel comfortable as well (you absolutely should!) but that you should place her pleasure first as long as it falls in your comfort zone.  If she is uncomfortable about oral sex, ask her why. Commonly, women are incorrectly led to believe their vaginas are "dirty" or "shameful," and that no guy wants to be there. Assure her, for you, that this isn't the case.  Are there things she knows she doesn't like? Things she knows she loves? If you want her to be honest about her feelings, you've got to do the same. Not all guys feel equally comfortable with oral sex, and that's okay -- this is why you're talking about it. In order to best help her oral sex, you'll need to be comfortable too. That means admitting if parts of oral sex make you uncomfortable or, on the flip side, if you'd really like to start going down on her more often than you do now.  What stuff is off limits to you? What things would you like to add or try in the future? How do you feel about performing oral sex? The pressure of completely pleasuring your partner through oral sex is very high, especially if it is a relatively new act. Instead, use oral sex to "warm up" for things you're more comfortable with. You'll both be more willing to experiment, and you can slowly work up to longer or more intimate acts without the pressure of one person doing all of the work. She is the only...

Article in English: Tampon users are at risk of contracting Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), which can be fatal. If you experience ANY of the following symptoms while wearing a tampon, remove the tampon and see a doctor immediately:  Fever of 102 degrees Fahrenheit (38.89 degrees Celsius) or more Vomiting Diarrhea Muscle aches A sunburn-like rash with peeling skin, especially on the palms and soles Dizziness, light-headedness, or mental confusion Pale, clammy skin (signalling a drop in blood pressure) Menstrual cups are small, flexible cups made out of silicone or latex rubber. Tampons and sanitary napkins absorb your flow; menstrual cups catch and hold it, like how a cup holds water. Because menstrual cups don’t absorb your flow, they boast a lower risk of TSS.  Menstrual cups are inserted similarly to how tampons without applicators are inserted (i.e. with your fingers). You can wear a menstrual cup for 12 hours — much longer than the 4 to 8 hours common for tampons. Downsides: it can take time to find a cup that fits you and your flow, and removal can be tricky -- particularly if you’re in public, as you may have to wash out the cup in the restroom sink before re-inserting it. If you have a light flow, don’t buy super-absorbent tampons. If your flow ranges between light and normal, buy one box of each and use the appropriate tampon when needed. Only use super-absorbency tampons if your flow is very heavy.  Some manufacturers offer multi-packs that contain light and normal tampons, or normal and super, or even light, normal and super. Only use tampons once you are already bleeding. Do not insert them in anticipation of your period or to absorb anything else. TSS is more likely to occur when super-absorbent tampons are used. Many young women are afraid of using tampons simply because they lack knowledge about their own anatomy. It’s not their fault; it’s just not something that is commonly taught or discussed. Your vaginal opening is located between your anus and your urethra.  Follow these steps to easily find your vaginal opening:...

Article in English: Tapeworms are destroyed by specific deworming preparations containing the active ingredient praziquantel. This drug works by making the outer membrane of the tapeworm leaky, which allows nutrients to leak out and the tapeworm to die.  A new drug is now available, Epsiprantel, which has a similar activity to praziquantel, but is not yet in widespread use. Praziquantel is effective against all species of tapeworm, which makes it your first choice dewormer. However, a different drug called dichlorophen has limited action and will destroy 2 of the 3 main tapeworm species. Unfortunately the species it doesn't kill is Echinococcus, which under exceptional circumstances can be a risk to human health and is therefore not such a good choice. Always check the packaging to see if they are covered. Look for specific wording on the pack that says the product is effective against tapeworms and check that praziquantel is among the active ingredients. For example, a product such as Panacur contains fenbendazole only, which is not effective against tapeworm.  The drawback of praziquantel is that it is not effective against roundworms and other common worms, therefore many deworming tablets are made up of two deworming ingredients. For example, Drontal contains praziquantel and pyrantel, Milbemax contains praziquantel and milbemycin, and Prazitel Plus contains pyrantel, praziquantel, and febantel. Also be aware that many common spot-on parasite treatments that are highly effective against other species, do NOT work against tapeworm. Tapeworm treatments are most widely available in tablet form. Accurately weigh your dog, if necessary visit a veterinary clinic and weigh the dog on the scale there. Then carefully follow the dosage instruction on the packaging to make sure the dog has the correct dose.  Be aware that the medication kills any infection the dog currently has, but the treatment has no lasting effect and therefore does not protect the dog against repeat infection. There is also an injectable form of praziquantel,...

Article in English: Tea tree oil can help get rid of acne-causing bacteria. Add 1-3 drops of tea tree oil to your cleanser or moisturizer. Tea tree oil can also be mixed with a teaspoon of coconut oil and applied to your face.  Use a cotton swab to apply the mixture to your face and let your skin absorb it. There is good scientific evidence that tea tree oil is effective for treating acne. Mix 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of a carrier oil - olive oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil - and 8-10 drops of tea tree oil and apply to the irritated parts of your skin.  This can decrease itching, irritation, and symptoms associated with eczema, water warts, and viral skin infections in both children and adults. This mixture can also be used for allergic skin reactions to nickel. More studies are needed to determine how effective this treatment is though. Incorporate 3 or 4 drops of tea tree oil into your regular shampoo. This mixture helps to relieve dry flaky scalp, dandruff, and psoriasis.  Add a few drops to your shampoo and wash your hair as you usually would.  You can also mix a few drops of tea tree oil with a carrier oil (e.g. jojoba oil, olive oil, coconut oil) and apply the mixture directly to your scalp. Leave it on for an hour, and then wash your hair as you usually would.  The scientific evidence is unclear on the effectiveness of tea tree oil to treat scalp conditions. Mix equal parts tea tree oil and olive oil and rub the mixture on the affected area twice a day.  It takes about 4 weeks for the treatment to work. For toenail fungus, apply 100% tea tree oil to the infected toe, 2 times a day for 6 months. If you do not want to use undiluted tea tree oil, mix 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and 1 to 2 drops of tea tree oil and apply to your toe using a cotton ball.  Bandage the cotton ball to your toe and leave it on overnight. Tea tree oil can be used for both bacterial and yeast infections. Apply coconut oil or olive oil to a tampon and then add 2 - 4 drops of tea tree oil.  Insert the tampon, and leave it in for an hour.  Do this for 3 to 5...

Article in English: Tea tree oil is a renowned anti-fungal and antibacterial herbal remedy, making it great for mild to moderate acne. In a study comparing the efficacy of tea tree oil and benzoyl peroxide, tea tree oil proved just as effective in fighting acne and reducing lesions. Whereas benzoyl peroxide works quicker than tea tree oil, tea tree oil produces less side effects in patients. Spread over your face, wait 3-5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Fill an empty 1 gallon (3.8 L) jug with water and put it in the freezer for 2 hours. Pour  the water into a bowl, then dip your face in the water for 25 seconds (5 dips for 5 seconds each). Repeat a few times every day. Once acne has improved, keep it at bay with a milder solution of 20% apple cider vinegar and 80% water. Do not use cheap vinegar. Apple cider vinegar is about $3-4 for a large bottle at any supermarket (more at health food stores). It will last months. Potassium alum can usually be found in the spice aisle in some grocery stores. Although widely used as a natural deodorant and styptic (lessens bleeding after a cut), alum is a natural antiseptic and astringent, meaning that it shrinks skin tissue. Try to get a big block instead of in powder form. Powdered alum can be a little too abrasive. Gently wipe the alum over the affected areas, being careful not to irritate or inflame any pimples. Slice a raw potato in half and apply onto acne. Raw potato can heal as well as act an anti-inflammatory. Again, wash the residue off your skin gently with water after using.

Article in English: Tear off several large pieces of aluminum foil and lay a rack of ribs on each piece so the meaty side faces up. If the foil is large enough, you can wrap the ribs with the same piece of foil. If not, lay another piece of foil over the ribs so you can completely enclose them. Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet.  Use a rimmed baking sheet which will catch juices that might leak out of the ribs. Keep the ribs in a single layer when you wrap them and place them on the sheet. Put the sheet with the foil-wrapped ribs in the middle of the oven and bake them until the meat is completely tender. To check if the ribs are done, insert a fork or knife into the meat. The ribs are done if the fork or knife slides in and out easily or they reach at least 145 °F (63 °C) with an instant-read meat thermometer.  Since the meat will be cooking for so long, there's no need to wait for the oven to preheat before you add the ribs. You might even see the meat falling off the bone once the ribs have finished cooking. Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and use a sharp knife to carefully cut the meat in between each bone. Put the ribs on a serving plate and set out plenty of barbecue sauce and napkins! You can refrigerate leftover ribs in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Article in English: Technology is a great way to manage your time and keep track of deadlines, appointments, and more. Make use of calendars in your phone and computer. Write down daily tasks, like appointments and your work or school schedule. Set reminders for yourself. For example, have your phone send you a reminder a week before a paper is due. Schedule in time for things like studying and working on projects. In addition to a digital calendar, it can help to have a physical calendar as a backup. You can keep this at your desk or carry it with you in a planner. Sometimes, physically jotting things down can help you remember them. Different people are productive at different points during the day. It can help to know when you're most able to use your time wisely and plan to work during those times. For example, if you find yourself energetic during the mornings, try to get the bulk of your work done then. During the night, you can wind down and do relaxing things you enjoy. It can take awhile to identify your energy peaks. Try tracking your energy level and overall focus throughout the day for a week or so. This should help you figure out when you would be the most productive. It can help to make a game plan for the day in the morning. As soon as you get up, think about what you need to do and sketch a rough outline of when to do it. Keep work obligations as well as social obligations and errands in mind.  For example, say you work from eight to four and need to call your grandmother for her birthday and pick up your dry cleaning after work. In the morning, figure out what order you should do those activities. If your grandmother is in a later timezone, plan to call her after work so it's not too late where she is. Then, plan on picking up your dry cleaning. No one can work continuously without a break or an interruption. It's okay to invite interruptions and distractions into your day on occasion. It can help to schedule these kinds of deviations from necessary tasks. This way, interruptions are less likely to take over and...

Article in English: Tell him the truth (as much as you can). Don't be mean or tell lies—tell him simply that you don't think that the relationship is working out. Try to avoid "let's just be friends" or "it's not you, it's me," as these cliches will make it sound like you haven't put much thought into his feelings. Let him know that it's time to move on, that it just isn't working, and that you hope the two of you can do this maturely. Look him in the eyes when you're talking. Let him see that this is hurting you, too. It's likely that he will want a bigger explanation, even if he doesn't say it right away. Be open to talking to him. It will show him you're open to talking, and thus that you'll work to be a good friend when he's ready. It will also give him the closure that he may need to move on. He may not want to ask questions or talk at all, though he may come to you with questions later. That's fine. If he really doesn't want to talk, don't push it. There are a number of ways he can react; if he's stunned into silence or just wants to leave right away, then fine. But he might really, really want to know why. And you might just have to tell him -- to the extent that you can without hurting his feelings. If you think he doesn't care about you, give him one or two concrete examples, as long as it doesn't sound accusatory. Usually, you won't need to go into it that much. If you have an idea that it's not working, then he will probably be on the same page. Though you may be angry, hurt, or crushed, there's no need to go into it by calling him names, being rude, or making him feel even worse. You should go into it with your head held high, and have him think of you as positively as he can when he looks back on the relationship. No matter how bad things are, things were probably pretty good once, and there's no reason to ruin all that just because you're angry or hurt. If he really hurt you, of course, then this doesn't mean that you should be super nice to him. Just avoid cursing, slapping him, or being excessively mean. Once...

Article in English: Tell the reader who wrote the article, their credentials, and the title of the article. Then, briefly explain what the article is about and why it’s important. You might say, “Inez Lopez is a former high school educator who now teaches curriculum planning as a researching professor. Her article entitled “Homework Smarts: Why Kids Need Homework” discusses why students benefit from regular homework assignments. Lopez also differentiates between effective homework and busywork, which helps educators change their lessons for the better.” Write your thesis as the last sentence in your introduction. Focus your thesis on the original author’s thesis, hypothesis, or research question. State their core ideas in your own words, but don’t include any of your own ideas. For instance, you’d write, “Lopez argues homework is necessary to support in-class instruction because students retain more information, the class covers more curriculum, and students get more one-on-one attention in class.” Re-read the 1-sentence summary you wrote in the article margins. Pull out the main point from that section, then write a sentence that summarizes what the author is saying. Do this for each section of the article.  A short summary is 1 page or shorter. For a short summary, you’ll write either 1 long paragraph or an introduction, a body paragraph, and a conclusion. Write, “According to Lopez, students who complete homework assignments for their core classes perform better academically.” For a long article, you’ll typically write a summary that’s longer than a page. In this case, you’ll write a separate 4-6 sentence body paragraph for each main point. State your summary of the main point in the first 1-2 sentences of the paragraph.  If your summary is longer than 1 page, it’s considered a longer summary. You might write, “In her study, Lopez compared 2 different classrooms at the same high school, one that had homework and one that didn’t. Lopez asserts that students who completed homework assignments performed better academically.” The...

This will create lots of opportunity for you to get clarification and to verify your perceptions of the other. Your responses to others may be distorted because of personal biases or projections. Sigmund Freud introduced projection as a defense mechanism and was later expanded upon by Anna Freud.To avoid dealing with our own unacceptable or undesirable thoughts and feelings, we attribute them to another person. This then colors our impressions of the other person's behaviors and shapes the way we respond to him or her. This in turn, influences the other's perception of you. To be sure you are accurately perceiving others and responding appropriately, you should seek to verify your perceptions. We engage in self-deception to protect our sense of self. We all possess traits and display behavior we are not proud of. Carl Jung referred to the collection of these unsavory traits and unacceptable thoughts and feelings as the shadow. Projecting our shadow onto others relieves us of the guilt and shame we experience when we acknowledge it. Others will not be so willfully blind of these parts of your personality, so denying them will only inhibit your ability to see yourself as others see you. If others have commented about your jealousy, or intolerance, or any other trait most would like to deny, explore the possibility you are indeed those things and accept them. If something about your personality causes you enough distress that you would rather lie or hide it, you should be working to change it. You must first acknowledge the trait(s) to change them. As with any habit, projecting happens subconsciously. Once you've acknowledged you project, ask others to help you become self-aware by telling you when you are doing it. In addition to projecting our own thoughts and feelings on others, we sometimes incorporate others' projections into our sense of self. It may be that someone in your life projects negative feelings and...

Article in English: Tell this person you would like to discuss something with her confidentially. It’s easier talking to someone you love about your problems. Ask her if it is a good time to talk. A person who is preoccupied or stressed herself may not be in the best position to help you. If possible, pick a trusted person who you know has gone through a similar experience to yours. She is more likely to understand your current position and her empathy can be consoling. Tell your confidant about what happened that gave rise to these feelings. Tell her why it’s important to you. Voice anything that you are thinking and need to get off your chest. Simply voicing how you feel has a cathartic effect and is beneficial for your physical health too. In response to your story, the other person may share her own personal experiences and show you that whatever happened to you can happen to anyone. She may give you a fresh perspective that you had not thought of before.

Article in English: Tell your doctor you are worried about your fertility, and get an examination. They will ask you about your medical and family history, and perform a physical exam. They will examine your genitals, and may ask you about your sexual history and sexual development. Semen analysis looks at a sample of your semen under a microscope. A lab technician, doctor, or computer count how many sperm appear in the squares of a grid pattern. This is the most common sperm count test, so ask your doctor to schedule you an appointment with a fertility specialist. Semen analysis tests are usually repeated at least twice over a period of time. This is because sperm count varies somewhat, and your doctor will need an accurate representation of your sperm count over time. A second sample is usually collected one to two weeks after the first.

Article in English: Tell your friend what you want out of your friendship. Be assertive (not aggressive), meaning you clearly and respectfully state your wants and needs while accepting that your friend may have different wants and needs. Speak simply an honestly.  Try to communicate directly with your friend about problems in your friendship. Be clear and direct when talking to her. Don’t assume she knows what you’re thinking. She may not even realize there is a problem. Talk to your friend about your needs. She may not realize she has not been a good friend to you. Allow your friend to be open and honest about how he feels. Listen actively to what he is saying — don't think about your defense or response while he is talking, take the time to hear what he is communicating. Encourage him with body language that indicates you are listening — nod when he makes a point and don't study your nails look at your phone, which may make it appear as though you aren't paying attention. If he is defensive or evasive, this may mean he is not ready for the same type of friendship that you want. Your friend may be psychologically healthy, but has decided over time that she would prefer a more casual friendship with you than you would like with her. Remember that not all people are the same, and it's okay if someone doesn't want to be close friends with you — it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you, or with her.  Do not give too much to someone in order to get something back. This can cause you to become resentful. Adjust your expectations. Just because your friendship is different than what you would like does not mean you cannot be friends at all. If you’ve discussed relating to one another in a different way, make sure to do so.  Keep up your end of the friendship and make sure your friend does too. Let him reach out to you. Some friends may take longer than others to adjust to a more open relationship. Don’t smother him with your expectations, but give him space to come to you. Don’t be resentful if he doesn't contact you...

Article in English: Tell your parents how you feel.  It is possible that your perception of their feelings about your actions is not the same as their actual feelings about your actions.   Be proactive and ask them to sit down and talk with you, possibly in a neutral space free of (electronic and other) distractions such as a neighborhood park. To really have meaningful communication, you need to both talk and listen.  Try to put yourself in your parents’ shoes and really understand what they are saying as they talk to you.  If they say something that confuses or offends you, ask them about it.  Once the lines of communication are open, you and your parents can start rebuilding your trust relationship. A sincere apology can go a long way to making your parents trust you again.  The best apology acknowledges your wrongdoing, restates what happened clearly, acknowledges the nature of the hurt or harm done, asks for forgiveness, and proposes a means of avoiding the error in the future.  Try not to expect anything in return.  Though it would be nice if the apology immediately fixed everything, that is unlikely to happen.  It’s possible that your parents may not know the best way to respond to your apology. The words you use are less important than speaking genuinely. Another part of apologizing is forgiving yourself. The most obvious way to figure out how to get your parents’ trust back is simply to ask them what you can do.  They may not have an answer ready, but tell them that they can think about it and let you know at a later time. Be honest in your response to their request.  If they seem to have an unreasonably long list of things for you to do, tell them (without whining) that you think you would have trouble being successful at meeting their expectations.  Offer a compromise instead. Trust builds trust, and trusting them will help encourage them to trust you. In fact, you may find that you do not feel like you trust them right now; it is normal to feel that way.  Trust is a two-way relationship, not a one-way feeling, so you...

Article in English: Tell yourself that negative emotions are not objective facts: you are never forced to feel emotional pain. Remember that emotional pain comes from your own mind. This means that you can rise above many negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, and anger. When a negative emotion threatens to emerge, simply dismiss it with the mantra: "This is only in my mind." This is an essential component of mindfulness. In addition to armoring yourself against emotional pain you feel in the present, you can also use mindfulness techniques to prepare yourself for future emotional pain. Think about events in the near future that might cause you distress, such as a stressful exam, a potential fight with your girlfriend, or a difficult task at work. Imagine a calm, unemotional response to each of these future events, and practice overcoming these negative emotions. Soon you will inure yourself to these strong emotions, and you will be better equipped to handle yourself calmly. Every day, perform a few periodic "mental check-ins" to determine your emotional well-being at that specific time. Even when you are not sad or upset, being mindful of what you are feeling and why will help you understand your instinctive emotional responses to everyday life. Eventually, your mindfulness will allow you to control your emotional responses more effectively. When you perform your "mental check-in," ask yourself the following questions:  What am I feeling in this moment? Am I feeling a single, overwhelming emotion, or a combination of emotions? Simply giving your emotions a label can help you view them more objectively.  Why am I feeling this way? Are my emotions due to internal factors (such as my own fears) or external factors (such as when somebody yells at me)? Do I like the way I am feeling now? Perhaps you are feeling joyful or grateful about life and want to foster these emotions. But perhaps you are feeling anxious or nervous and do not want to experience these emotions in the future. What can I do to control my feelings in the future?...

Article in English: Telling someone you love her doesn't happen every day, and very few people will ever become such an important object of your affection. To genuinely express your love from the heart, think about the things that make this woman special. They can be little memories you share, a quirk she has you can't get enough of, or skills and a personality that still amazes you. You may bring these things up when you talk, you may not. What is important is that you understand why you feel in love. It is much easier to express something, after all, if you understand it. You simply want somewhere you can comfortably express your feelings and listen to her response. After a date, on a walk, or simply a quiet moment alone are all good places to talk, but don't stress too much over the location. The words, not the place, are far more important and exciting. That said, there are some not-so-great times to say "I love you" the first time:  After sex While drunk or intoxicated Online or over the phone (unless you cannot see each other in person) During or after a fight or argument. While movies may tell you you have to be special or original with your message, you don't. Spending all your time planning or waiting for a perfect moment grossly misses the point of your relationship. You are in love — so just keep it simple and let her know. It will be more than enough, guaranteed.  This isn't to say there is no time for romance and spectacle in your relationship. But expressing your love for someone is a big emotional development — you don't need bells and whistles. How happy she makes you, good memories you've shared, your hopes and feelings — this is more than enough "material" to work with without feeling like you must write a poem or plan an event. Take a deep breath and count to three. When you finish, tell yourself you're just going to blurt out "I love you." This is all it takes — three seconds of courage for a potential lifetime of happiness. Don't get caught up in an intro, perfect wording, or anything fancy. Just tell her,...

Article in English: Tempeh isn't always easy to find in grocery stores, but if you have a health food store or a natural foods store in your area you'll find it in the refrigerated section, close to the tofu. If you'd prefer not to buy commercially-made tempeh, you can make your own. The process is time-consuming, but you'll be able to rest assured that your tempeh contains only natural ingredients. Making tempeh yourself can be done with 2 cups of hulled soybeans, 2 teaspoons of vinegar and a packet of tempeh starter. Boil the beans until they're soft, then drain them and pat dry. Mix in the vinegar and tempeh starter, then place the beans in a container with air holes to allow them to ferment. They must be kept at a temperature of 88 °F (31 °C) for 24 - 48 hours. During this time, mycelium will grow over the beans and fuse them together into a solid block. Tempeh comes in a dense, brick-shaped block. While it can certainly be sliced and cooked up right away, many recipes call for boiling or simmering it in hot water for a few minutes to soften the tempeh before using another cooking method to finish it. Boiling or simmering the tempeh before frying, baking or sauteing it results in tempeh pieces that are pleasingly soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. To boil or simmer tempeh.  Remove it from the packaging. Bring a pot of water to a boil or simmer, depending on how soft you want the tempeh to be. Hotter water will result in softer tempeh. Place the entire block of tempeh in the boiling or simmering water. Cook it for 8-10 minutes. Remove the tempeh from the water and pat it dry. The most common ways to break up the block of tempeh are by slicing it into thin strips or chopping it into bite-sized pieces. You can also shred it or chop it finely so that it takes on texture of ground beef. Cut the tempeh to whatever side is right for the dish you want to include it in. For example:  If you're making barbecued tempeh, slice it into long strips. If you're making tempeh tacos, shred or crumble it. If you're adding it to...

Article in English: Temper tantrums are normal, especially in young children. They can last for a few minutes or for hours and can be stressful for the child and the caregiver. A child having a tantrum might scream, yell, and cry, but might also roll around on the floor, run around the house, or pound on the wall with fists.  Temper tantrums can be caused by all sorts of things, from being tired or hungry to not knowing what words to use or having trouble doing something difficult. When your child does get into a tantrum, it’s important for you to stay calm. If you become upset, that will make the situation worse for both of you. Know that tantrums are common among children and that this will pass. Don’t give in to what the child wants. Doing so will teach your child that tantrums work, when what the child needs is to learn is how to recognize and express the feelings he is having. Arguing and yelling will not work either. Even though it can be frustrating to be around a child’s tantrum, arguing and yelling just create a power struggle. Being calm is best. When children, especially young children, have a tantrum, they can sometimes put themselves in danger. Make sure that your child is not going to hurt herself during the tantrum. Keep a close eye on the child. Make sure no one else gets hurt by the tantrum behavior, such as another child nearby. If the child is old enough to understand, then move over close to the child and calmly explain what you want the child to stop doing and how you would like the child to replace the negative behavior. If your child doesn’t seem to be able to stop, then you can move the child to a quiet calm space and tell the child to be quiet for one minute. Once the child has achieved one minute of silence, end the time out period. It is important for children to feel loved after they have had a tantrum. Stay calm and express your love for the child, while also praising the child for stopping the tantrum. Remove whatever was causing the tantrum and give the child something easy to do. For example, if...

Article in English: Tempers can be heightened (and fuses shorter) if you are lacking sleep or exercise.  Sleep can help you regulate your emotions effectively. Exercising when you feel angry can help you redirect your anger.  Maintaining regular exercise can help you with mood regulation and controlling your emotions. Cognitive restructuring helps you replace automatic negative thoughts with more functional or appropriate ways of thinking.  Anger may distort your thoughts, but learning to apply reason to your thoughts can make them clear again and can help you avoid losing your temper.   For example, you may get a flat tire on your way to work.  Your automatic negative thinking caused by anger may lead you to think “My whole day is ruined! I am going to get in trouble at work! Why does this kind of thing always happen to me?!” If you restructure your thinking to take a reasoned look at your comments, you may realize that one setback does not automatically ruin your whole day, that your workplace may understand that things like that happen, and that it’s unlikely that this “always” happens to you (unless you get a flat tire daily, in which case you may want to reevaluate your driving). It also may help to realize that anger at the situation will not help any; in fact, it could hurt by making it more difficult to focus on finding a solution (such as changing the tire). Anger management programs have been proven to be highly successful.  Effective programs help you understand anger, develop short-term strategies to deal with anger, and build your emotional control skills. There are many options available for finding a program that is right for you.   Individual programs are available for teens, police officers, executives, and other groups of the population that may experience anger for different reasons. To find an anger management program that is right for you, try searching online for “anger management class” plus the name of your city, state, or region.  You can also include search terms like “for teens” or “for PTSD” to find a...

Article in English: Termites are divided into three broad types: drywood; subterranean; and dampwood. They each have different characteristics and it is best to be certain that you know which type of termite is which so you can take the appropriate course of action. Subterranean termites feed off the cellulose in wood. The point where wood comes into contact with soil is the main entry point for subterranean termites. Although they are generally dug in below your house and you may not see the termites themselves, it’s worth knowing a little about their appearance in case you find one and you want to identify it. There are three so-called ‘castes’ in a termite colony, each of which are different.  Alates (more commonly known as swarmers) are dark-brown or black, and are around a quarter to a half inch long, with two pairs of wings of very similar length. Workers don’t have wings, are generally a quarter inch long, and are cream coloured. Soldiers are also wingless, but they have large mandibles (jaws). They are the defenders of the colony and are distinctive for their jaws and their creamy torso, and their brownish head. Probably the best way to determine whether or not you have an infestation is to look for the signs and marks that often indicate that a subterranean termite colony has taken up residence. One indicator is wood that appears layered. Subterranean termites only consume the softwood, so the hardwood portion remains, and this could give the wood a layered look.   Dark patches or blisters in wood flooring can indicate termites.  Wood may not look damaged, but if you tap it and it sounds hollow, this suggest that though the veneer is undamaged, the softer wood beneath has been eaten away. Alates (or swarmer) termites are the ones you are most likely to find. What you think are flying ants, might in fact be swarmers. One difference is that swarmers are smaller and have four wings of about the same size, whereas ants have a pair large wings and one of smaller wings.  Once they have mated, swarmers will shed their wings....

Article in English: That is, use "I" when you get in a disagreement instead of "you." If you're upset that your sister always hogs the bathroom, talk about how it makes you feel instead of pushing blame.  For instance, you could say, "I feel disrespected when I don't get enough time in the bathroom because then I don't have enough time to get ready. I feel unprepared for the day."  Using "I" helps soften the tone. It helps the other person understand why you're upset without pointing fingers, which can make everyone get defensive. Everyone gets a little heated when he or she gets upset. The trouble is, that can make you not think as clearly and say things you may regret later. If you feel your emotions taking over, ask to take a moment to calm down. Try focusing on breathing in and out for a few minutes or counting numbers until you feel yourself calm down. That is, don't throw stuff at the other person from past arguments. Don't remind them of the last time they said something wrong or did something wrong. It only heightens emotions and doesn't help the argument at hand. In an argument, you tend to just want to make your point of view known; obviously, you think you are correct. However, you should take the time to really listen to what the other person has to say. Even if you decide to keep your point of view, you show respect to the other person by giving his or her view credibility and time. Truly listening means actually considering what the person has to say. Don't just sit there thinking up arguments against it. Yelling can scare children, and it teaches them to yell, too, instead of talking about what's bothering them. Similarly, when you yell at an adult, it creates some amount of fear, which shuts them down, meaning they won't be able to actually listen to what you have to say. Whether you're the parent, spouse, child, or sibling, sometimes the other person will have a point. That means that you need to be willing to change your mind if you realize you are wrong. This step also includes being willing to admit you've...

Article in English: That's right -- snatiation. It's a legitimate medical disorder where you can't stop sneezing because your stomach is full. It generally happens immediately after consuming quite a large meal. So how do you avoid it? Don't eat so much. In case you're as curious as George, it's a backronym -- Sneezing Non-controllably At a Time of Indulgence of the Appetite—a Trait Inherited and Ordained to be Named. Originally it was a portmanteau of sneeze and satiation. Now that you know it's a real thing monitor your eating activity. When do you usually find yourself sneezing? " If you find that you sneeze when exposed to bright lights, you could have photoptarmosis or the photic sneeze reflex. It's present in a remarkable 18-35% of people and is sometimes referred to as ACHOO - Autosomal dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst syndrome. The more you know, right? It's hereditary and can be treated with antihistamines if it's inconvenient. Otherwise, wear sunglasses (polarized, especially) or scarves. If bright lights (or the sun) are present, keep your eyes away and focus on something darker or more neutral. This is doubly important if you are operating a motorized vehicle. If you're entering a high sneeze-risk environment (say a cloud of pepper or a field of pollen), take precautions to keep your sneezing fits at bay.   Keep a tissue on hand. Often sneezing and blowing your nose go hand in hand. Have a way to wet your nostrils. This can stop sneezing fits before they start. Though snorting water is definitely a feasible option, you may want to stick with wetting a tissue and applying to your nostrils, using your eyedrops, or sniffing the steam from a cup of coffee. For those of us that don't suffer from the completely random sneeze attack and are privy to more constant bouts, it may be more of an environmental thing. In addition to talking to your doctor, be allergy smart. A certain amount of sneezing can be prevented.  Get on antihistamines. Not only will these fight sneezing, but they'll keep the coughing, runny...

Article in English: That's what they're there for, isn't it? Your friends and family aren't just there for the fun times or the holidays. They are there to be a shoulder to cry on, and to lend you a kind ear and helping hand when you need one. Open up to a close friend or family member about your pain, and make a habit of hanging out with your loved ones in relaxed/low-pressure settings. Obviously going to loud parties with your loved ones is only going to stress you out and make you feel worse, but watching a movie or sharing a meal with a close friend can make you feel better.  If you need a lot of alone time, that's okay. Don't force yourself to be social if you don't want to be. But if you feel like you don't want to be around other people at all, then you can run into trouble.     If hanging out with close friends really does have a soothing effect, then make a plan to spend even more time with them and to make your social calendar a bit busier than normal.    If you do adhere to a specific religion, then this can be the time to get even more invested in your faith and your religious community. Talk to your pastor, rabbi, imam, or other religious leaders to find comfort and attend services and events held by your religious group. You can meet new people who offer comfort or just spend more time focusing on your faith and your religious beliefs, which will lead you to comfort as well. Support groups are filled with people who are suffering from similar losses and who can share their pain and understand yours. You may feel that you don't have many friends or family members to turn to because they don't know what you're really going through because they have never suffered a similar loss, no matter how well-meaning they may be. Support groups can give you access to people who are suffering in a similar way (though of course, no one can feel the exact same pain as any other person) and can help you build a new routine and get the help you need. Support groups aren't for everybody. If you join one and just don't feel like it's...

Article in English: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Or, if the food is bubbling away already, add straight to a cooking dish (such as a soup or stew), as if adding fresh cream and let the heat melt it through. Be aware that the cream will be runny and won't whip after freezing. For using as a cake or dessert filling or topping, thaw in the refrigerator overnight first. As with the previous cream, this frozen cream can't be whipped again; unlike that one though, it should keep its already whipped texture suitable for baking or adding to desserts. Plus, you could try combining it with freshly whipped cream to make a filling go further. Jiggle the cream inside its container (lid on) if you find too much separation has occurred. This can help to reconstitute the cream by mixing the fat solids and water solids back together again. It can also be shaken inside the sealable bag if that's easier. Allow to defrost on the kitchen counter (it'll take about 10 minutes). Use exactly as you'd use whipped cream. The dollops should act like whipped cream already divided into small, usable portions.
