Article in English: Use 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon (12 grams) of sugar, 1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) of dish soap, and 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of warm water. Combine everything in a small bowl and place it in the infected room. Leave it overnight and clean it out in the morning. Repeat this process as many times as you need. The scent of the sugar and apple cider vinegar will attract the gnats to the bowl. When they get close to the bowl, the soap suds will trap them and pull them down into the water. Gnats love rotten fruit, so you can use this to your advantage to trap them. Simply mash up a banana, place it in a bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and poke little holes in the plastic with the tines of a fork. The gnats will enter through the holes to get to the banana but won’t be able to get back out again. Because this method doesn’t necessarily kill the gnats, make sure to dispose of the banana and the plastic wrap in the outdoor trash. You may even want to use a disposable bowl so you can just throw the entire trap away. Use 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of bleach to 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water and slowly pour it down the drain. The diluted bleach should kill any gnats that are living in the drain. Repeat this process daily until you no longer notice any gnats. Mix 1 cup (240 mL) of water, 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of vinegar, and 1⁄4 teaspoon (1.2 mL) of dish soap in a clean spray bottle. Whenever you see gnats flying around, spray them with the mixture. This is a great non-toxic way to deal with gnats. It shouldn’t harm any of your belongings, and it won’t hurt your plants, pets, or kids. Place a candle in a bowl or on a tray that is partially filled with soapy water (about 1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) of dish soap should do the trick). Light the candle, close the curtains, and turn off all the lights. The gnats will be attracted to either the candle or the candle’s reflection in the water. The candle itself will burn their wings, while the soapy water will trap them.

Article in English: Use a 3 inch pot for every seed. Fill them with well-draining soil. It should consist of one part coarse sand and one part seed compost. These items can be found at any gardening store. Add a little water so the soil mixture is moist, not muddy.  You can use a larger pot if you prefer. You will be transplanting the seeds when they sprout and mature. Thoroughly mix the soil together using a spoon, stick or your hand. Sow the seed an inch or two deep in the soil. It's best to plant one seed per pot. This way, the seeds aren't battling over nutrients. Plant several more seeds than you want trees. Olives have a low germination rate, even under the best conditions. Place the pots inside a clear polythene bag. This will help maintain some moisture and work as a greenhouse of sorts. Keep the pot in a well-lit area that is warm. A windowsill is a terrific option, but keep in mind that direct sunlight can be harmful initially. If you use a bag, place the pot in indirect sunlight.  Instead of using a bag, place the pot inside a propagator if one is available. Expect germination within a month. You will want to maintain constant moisture in the top two inches of the soil. You can check this by sticking your finger in the soil occasionally. Only water if the top ¼ inch of the soil appears dry. Over-watering may create fungal and bacterial growth which will destroy the plant. You can keep the pots in the windowsill or whatever warm area you've chosen until it's time to transplant the olive seedlings. Continue to water as normal.

Article in English: Use a bobby pin to hold the curl in place, then hit them with cool air from your hair blower. The cool air causes the hair to relax while still curled, helping them stay in place after their inevitable cool-off later in the day. Hair gel is one of the more conventional ways to get curls to stay. Apply as you style. The protein based goop dries in 15-30 min, stiffening and acting as support to hold hair in the place you left it. Be aware, though, that adding more gel isn't always better. Too much can leave hair feeling crunchy and hard and actually weigh curls down and take away their form. This is a staple in urban hair salons, as it accomplishes what little else can. It can be applied before styling or after. A little stronger holding than conventional hair spray, spritz is responsible for some of the more complex updos not falling flat after two hours of wear. B&B or Luster's Pink are some of the best options. Like gel, spritz can leave hair feeling crunchy or hard if applied too liberally, and can have an unpleasant chemical smell if too heavy. The longer the better. For best results, roll hair when wet and apply heat from a dryer. The curls will mold to your rollers and once they're removed, lightly run your fingers through to loosen to desired style. For a little more curl, apply a curling creme before rolling, and a bit of hairspray or spritz afterward. This is especially important when you use heat to curl your hair. Whenever applying heat to hair, proper conditioning and moisturizing is a must. Applying a light oil or moisturizer before styling keeps curls shiny. Consider heat-protectant before turning on the hair dryer. These will turn your curly hair frizzy in a heartbeat, so do your best to avoid the weather with a hat. If you need to head outside, some spray may help prevent damage for several hours, but it will not last forever. Touching introduces oils and dirt to your hair, which weighs it down and causes your curls to flatten. Excessive heat treatment and shampooing every single day can damage...

Article in English: Use a breeder trap to acclimate your fry a few at a time to your normal tank. Purchase a breeding trap if you do not have one already, and set it up on the side of the tank to which you want to move the fry. Clean or rinse the trap before setting it in your aquarium. This ensure the safety and health of your current fish, as well as the fry. Transfer the fry a few at a time to the breeding trap. If your two tanks are located next to one another, you may be able to do this using a standard aquarium net. If the tanks are further apart, you may want to place the fry in a large bowl or bucket filled with water from the nursery aquarium to carry them to their new tank. Do not overcrowd the breeding trap. Make sure the fry have enough room to swim around comfortably while you transfer them. Do a few at a time so that you do not crowd the trap. Allow the fry to acclimate for around one hour in the breeding trap before releasing them into your aquarium. When you are ready to release them, submerge the trap well below the waterline of the aquarium, open it, and allow the fish to swim out. Observe the fry for a few minutes after letting them out of the trap. Make sure that the fry aren’t being antagonized or harmed by any of your other fish. Continue on with this process until all of your fry are in your aquarium. Allow each fry time to acclimate before letting them loose in your regular tank. Watch the fry carefully for the first couple days after they move tanks to ensure their health and safety. If an individual fry seems to be struggling in your aquarium, you may consider moving it back to the nursery tank or into the breeding trap for a few days before retrying to acclimate it.

Article in English: Use a chisel and hammer or putty knife to pry the door stop and molding away from the frame. Start at the bottom of the frame and work your way up.  Take care not to damage the stop as you remove it from the frame. Place the claw end of the hammer on the side of each nail to support even removal. Remove any remaining finishing nails left in the molding. Door shims are used to correct and level doors with the frame so that the door is squared, or even, between both sides of the frame. These must be removed in order to adjust the warped door frame. Gently hammer the frame in the direction necessary to level out both sides of the frame.  Make sure the door is closed while you straighten the frame. This will help you measure whether the door is even or planed with the frame. Use a small, thick piece of wood to cover the area you are hammering. This will evenly distribute the blows from the mallet and prevent damage to the frame. The wood can also be used as a wedge if you have trouble hammering in a particular direction. As you straighten the frame, measure the door gaps to see whether the door is evenly flush on both sides of the frame, from top to bottom.  Remember that a warped frame is only an immediate problem if it prevents the door from closing properly, or allows a large gap in between the edge of the door and the frame. A warped door frame can suggest a moisture problem. Double check for rotting wood on or near the frame. Replace the door shims that were removed prior to further tighten the corrections made to the frame. Don't fully tighten shims until you are satisfied with the correction.  Use new door shims if the older door shims were damaged. Shims come in a variety of materials, including wood, plastic or metal. Wooden shims are the most commonly used shims and are versatile thanks to their ability to be trimmed. Use plastic shims on any exterior doors as they are resistant to rotting. Make sure you place a pair of shims at hinge height of the door, on both sides of the frame. This helps the door...

Article in English: Use a clarifying shampoo and don't follow it with conditioner in the weeks leading up to your dreading session. Forego products that are designed to moisturize your hair or make it sleek and shiny, since these make it harder for your hair to stay knotted during the dreading process. Use a comb to separate your hair into even sections, and then keep them separated with small rubber bands. Each section will become a dread, so make them or small or as large as you want according to the finished look you have in mind.  One-inch squares create medium-sized dreads. Go a little larger for big dreads, or smaller for many little dreads. The smaller the dreads, the more time it takes to create them. If you don't want it to look like you have even rows of dreadlocks, created a zig-zag or brick lay pattern of squares instead. When the dreads form, these patterns will look more natural than even checkerboard rows. Take a section of hair and place a dread comb or another fine tooth comb about an inch above your scalp. Comb the hair down toward your scalp, teasing it until some hairs get packed around the roots. Continue until the hair is tightly packed, then insert the comb an inch higher, and backcomb again. Keep doing this until the entire section of hair has been backcombed.  Use your free hand to twist the section of hair as you backcomb it. Continue backcombing each section until your entire head of hair has been backcombed. Have a friend help if you get tired. Place a small rubber band at the root and the end of each individual dread. Make sure the rubber bands are tightly secured, since they will need to stay in place until the dreads have "matured," which takes about 3 months. Use a gel containing a natural ingredient like aloe to tame frizz and loose strands of hair. Smooth it onto each section of hair until all your hair has been covered. Over the course of three months, the dreads will begin to lock into place. Aid the process in the following ways:  Shampoo regularly. Use a clarifying shampoo and forego the...

Article in English: Use a comb to gather your hair high on your head, either right on top or slightly lower down, according to what you enjoy. Secure your hair with a hair elastic. Make sure it is tightly secured, so your hair won't fall out.  You might want to use some bobby pins or hair spray to keep your hair in place at the top of your head. This works well for hair that is long enough to be secured at the top of your head. If your hair is too short, choose a low bun or a side bun instead.

Article in English: Use a deeply moisturizing shampoo made specifically for African hair. There are many brands on the market, so try out a couple of different shampoos to find which one works best for you personally. Choose a product that is sulfate-free (it will promote this on the front of the bottle, and you can confirm this by reading the ingredients and looking for a shampoo that does not have any ingredients that end or begin with the word sulfate). Sulfate can be very drying and strip hair of moisture.  It is recommended that you wash your hair every 7 to 10 days for best results. You will want to follow the moisturizing and sealing steps daily, however.  In addition to ensuring that the shampoo is sulfate free, check the label to make sure the shampoo you choose is alcohol-free. Alcohol can be very harsh and strip your hair of its natural oils. Choose a shampoo that has natural moisturizing oil, such as jojoba oil, olive oil, coconut oil, or emu oil. To begin the daily moisturizing and sealing process, use hair clips to assist you. Divide your hair into 4 sections and secure with the clip. The sections don't have to be exact or perfect - doing this just makes it easier to work with your hair during the daily routine process and also ensures even product coverage. Use a moisturizing conditioner. Take down each section, one at a time, and apply the conditioner from root to tip, concentrating on the ends. After you finish one section, clip it back up into place before moving on to the next section of your hair. While you should only wash your hair every 7 to 10 days, moisturizing and sealing (applying leave-in moisturizer and sealing with oil) should be done every day. After you finish applying the oil over the leave in conditioner, rinse your hair with lukewarm or cool water to remove the excess product. Then, dry your hair either with a blow dryer or by using a towel and waiting for it to air dry. Apply any styling products you like to use as well. For the days in between shampoos, you'll still want apply the moisturizer...

Article in English: Use a fork to beat the eggs, as if you were about to scramble them. Then add some salt and get to work seasoning to your heart's content. You can either make up your own seasoning or use one of the following mixes:  1 tablespoon (15ml) of your favorite bottle of "Italian" seasoning. Note -- check if it already has salt in it before adding separately. 1/2 teaspoon (7ml) oregano, garlic and onion powder, cracked red pepper, rosemary, and/or thyme 1 packet powdered onion or mushroom soup mix. 1 Adobo chili mixture or spice packet, with salt. Classically, meatballs are made from hamburger meat. But mixing things up, like the lovely Italian trio of beef, lamb, and veal, will lead to spectacular meatballs with little extra work. Plunge your hands in and really squeeze to mix everything up. If you're squeamish, a stiff spatula or wooden spoon will work as well. Just make sure that everything is evenly blended and you have a wet, seasoned pile of meat when done.  If desired, add the small diced onion here as well. Onion, when cooked, is a savory-sweet complement to the meat. Once it looks well mixed, you can stop. Extra mixing isn't helpful, and the more you mix the meat, the tougher it gets. You can make any size you want, but 1" balls tend to brown nicely on the outside while cooking quickly enough on the inside. Grab a small pinch of meat and roll it between your palms to get nice round meatballs.  If you make larger meatballs, you may need to cook them a little longer, lowering the heat to prevent burning. Smaller balls can dry out if cooked too long. They must hit high heat, brown, and then come off quickly before over-cooking.. Use a little bit of oil and rotate the meatballs every few minutes until browned and cooked. If the outsides are done, but the insides are still soft, lower the heat and let them cook for an extra 2-3 minutes. For the best meatballs, let them cook in a 1/2" (1-2 cm) of red sauce after they've browned -- they'll soak up some of the flavor and liquid to stay tender. A slow-cooker filled...

Article in English: Use a hand aerating tool, a hoe, or even your hands to break up large clods of soil and make sure it is aerated so that oxygen can reach the roots of your plants. Remove any sticks, stones, or debris from the soil. These will hinder root growth. The root ball of the marigold plant should be able to fit into the hole while the leaves remain above ground. Cover the root ball with soil and pat firmly in place. Use a watering can to water the plant at the base, watering until the soil is moist but not flooded. Spreading a 1-2” layer of mulch, pine bark, or other organic material on your beds between marigold plants will help prevent weeds from growing. It will also help the soil retain moisture, meaning you don’t have to water as often. Most fertilizers available for home use contain three basic nutrients essential for plant growth: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.  The three numbers on packaged fertilizer reflect the concentrations of each nutrient. Marigolds thrive on a 20-10-20 (20% nitrogen, 10% phosphorus, and 20% potassium) fertilizer.  Don’t over-fertilize the soil or it will actually damage your marigolds. Fertilizing once every two weeks is plenty. It's also a good idea to dilute your fertilizer more than the package recommends. In place of fertilizer, you can use compost instead.

Article in English: Use a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add 1.5 cups of flour (188 g), 1 teaspoon of salt, and a ½ teaspoon of baking soda. Stir until they are evenly mixed. Start by beating one egg in a second medium-sized mixing bowl. Next, throw in a ½ cup of granulated sugar (101 g), 2 tablespoons of softened butter, and 2 tablespoons of shortening. Mix thoroughly with an electric mixer until the consistency becomes smooth. Then add a ½ cup of half & half (118 ml), a ½ cup of milk (118 ml), a ¼ cup of buttermilk (59 ml), and a ¼ teaspoon of vanilla. Continue mixing until they are combined. If you are making batter ahead of time, cover the bowl with its lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate. First, apply a light coat of vegetable oil over your waffle iron to prevent sticking. Then let the iron preheat to optimum temperature. Once it does, ladle about ⅓ to ½ cup of batter (78 to 118 ml) onto the iron. Close the iron and cook for three to four minutes. Waffle irons’ temperatures may vary. Adjust cooking time as needed.

Article in English: Use a pastry brush or a paper towel to oil both the top and bottom plates of the waffle iron. Do this before you make each waffle, or it is very likely that the waffles will stick.  Check the instructions that come with your waffle maker. Many non-stick waffle makers don't need to greased. If yours doesn't need to be greased, skip this step. Use 1/2 to 1 cup of batter, depending on your waffle iron.  If you're not sure, go a little under the amount you think you will need. The batter will puff up as it cooks. Spoon it evenly into the bottom plate of the waffle iron. Allow about 3 to 5 minutes for the waffle to form. If you like your waffles brown, cook them for a longer period of time.  Don't press on the lid. The lid will press down enough and the waffles will naturally puff a little.  Watch the steam production.  It will stop or reduce greatly when the waffles are done. Listen and watch for the thermostat in your waffle iron to turn off and on.  Sometimes having it turn off is a cue that the waffles are done. Waffles get a lot less sticky once they're properly cooked. If the waffle iron is hard to open and you oiled it properly, try giving it another minute. Don't open the waffle iron if you can help it. Try to cook each waffle in one go.  If you do open the waffle iron on a waffle that's still a bit too pale, carefully close it again and let it go a bit longer.

Article in English: Use a pencil to apply the measurements equally on both sides of the door so as not to take too much off one side. Repeat this process for the top and bottom.  Doing all the trimming on one side is is bad practice and may result in the door looking wider on one side than the other. A good rule of thumb would be to allow a 2mm gap on the two sides and top and allow a gap of 8mm between the saddle board and the bottom of the door.  If you think the door you bought is already a perfect fit, you can "dry fit" the door, standing it up in the space. It should fit as specified above, except that that the large gap will be at the top. Score your pencil marks with a utility knife to prevent the wood from splintering. Then, use a circular saw and cut off the excess wood, using a straightedge to guide the saw.  Placing tape over the cut line can also reduce splintering.  If removing less than 3/16 of an inch, use a hand plane rather than a circular saw. Bevel the edges of the door two to three degrees where it hits the stop so the door will clear the jamb smoothly. Place the door into the frame and see if it fits. Remember there should be a gap of 2mm (about the width of a nickel) around the sides and top and a gap of 8mm on the bottom. An easy way to check the top and bottom is to sit the door on the floor. The gap at the top should now be 10mm (2mm top+8mm bottom). If the door does not meet these requirements the further planing is required.

Article in English: Use a pencil to draw the shape of the curve you want to bend the plywood to on a piece of MDF. Cut out the shape using a bandsaw. Trace the shape onto more MDF and cut out more layers for the form. You want enough layers that the height of the form is about the same as the width of the plywood you’re trying to bend. Glue the layers of MDF together to complete the form.  You can find medium density fiberboard at your local hardware store. Always wear protective eyewear when using a bandsaw. Place the piece of plywood next to the curved side of the form. Place one end of a bar clamp on the far side of the form, and the other end of the clamp on the outside-facing part of the plywood directly across from it. Spin the handle on the clamp clockwise to tighten the plywood into place against the form. Continue adding clamps to the plywood until it’s completely clamped along the curved side of the form.  Make sure you clamp the ends and middle of the plywood you’re bending. If you see gaps between the plywood and the curved side of the form, tighten a clamp over them. This will give the plywood enough time to bend under the pressure of the clamps. Don't rush this step; if you take the clamps off early the plywood may not hold its curve. Twist the handles on the bar clamps counterclockwise to loosen and remove them. Once all the clamps are off, remove the plywood from the side of the form. Try gently bending the ends of the plywood to see if it straightens out or holds its curve. Turn the plywood upside down so it’s resting on the ends and push down on the center of the curve with your hand. If the curve doesn’t hold, re-clamp the plywood to the MDF form. If you still can’t get the bend to hold, try gluing additional layers of plywood over your original piece and re-clamping it to the form. Making the plywood thicker will help it bend more easily.

Article in English: Use a plastic bag, a trash bag, or a grocery bag. Create a thick, padded layer around the mummy. This will mimic the sarcophagus shape. After wrapping, your mummy should look like a small plastic baguette. Lay paste-covered strips of paper or fabric all over the plastic. Wrap the strips completely around the mummy so that all parts are covered. Add three or four layers to create a thick sarcophagus wall. Let each layer dry for an hour or two before applying another. Set the sarcophagus in a sunny spot to dry for a day or two. To check whether or not it’s ready, gently press a finger against the papier mâché. The sarcophagus should feel stiff and chalky to the touch.  Place the sarcophagus under a fan to speed up the drying process.  The sarcophagus needs to be completely dry before you paint it. Otherwise, it may mold and fall apart. Use craft scissors or a crafting blade to carefully cut the sarcophagus in half. First, lay the sarcophagus on its back. Next, carefully make an incision halfway up the side of the sarcophagus. Continue cutting all around the side to create a front half and a back half. If needed, use a pencil to draw a guide line around the sides. Follow this line when cutting the sarcophagus. Use acrylic paints to paint the sarcophagus and allow it to dry completely. Use a metallic gold paint for the face and body accents. Use a combination of red, blue, and green for the other parts of the sarcophagus. Consider adding authentic touches to the outside. For example:  Add black and blue accent stripes along the side. Paint on Egyptian symbols, such as the symbol for Anubis. Detail small “offerings” by painting depictions of grain, bread, or gold. First, cut away and discard the plastic wrapping around the mummy. Next, lay the mummy in the bottom half of the sarcophagus. Place the lid on top to enclose your mummy.

Article in English: Use a rag soaked in cool water or a bag of ice wrapped in a towel. Place the cool compress against your sunburned skin for up to 20-30 minutes. Repeat the process every 3-4 hours for the next few days. This will cool your skin and help it heal faster. Use a clean rag or towel each time. Spending time outdoors without protecting your already damaged skin will increase the risk of peeling, and worsen your burn. This is because the outer protective dead skin cell layer is damaged, so more harmful UV rays will pass through this layer of skin. Wear a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher if you are going to be outside with already sun damaged skin. Also wear protective clothing and accessories (hats, sunglasses) to prevent further damage. The soothing and moisturizing properties in oatmeal can help the skin retain its natural moisture and prevent burned skin from peeling. To make an oatmeal bath, stir 1-3 cups of oatmeal into a bathtub filled with warm water. Soak in the oatmeal bath from 15-30 minutes, and rinse your body with clean water when you are finished soaking in the oatmeal.  After your oatmeal soak, apply a moisturizer to your body to further add hydration to your skin. Consider following this remedy daily before going to bed to give your skin the best chance of not peeling after a sunburn. Aloe vera is a natural cactus extract that has long been hailed around the world for its soothing properties. You can buy an aloe vera lotion, pure aloe vera gel, or break open an aloe vera plant, and apply the plant juices directly to your peeling skin. The aloe vera can aid healing, fight the sunburn pain, and avoid infection.  Try looking for pure aloe vera that is 98% to 100% aloe vera to avoid feeling sticky.  Consider storing the aloe vera in the refrigerator so it feels even cooler when you apply it to your skin.

Within the United States, geode maps identify areas of the Midwest such as Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri as well as areas in the Southeast such as Kentucky, Tennessee, and South Carolina as common geode locations. Geode maps identify Brazil, Namibia Uruguay, Mexico as top areas around the world where geodes are located. Learn to identify common signs that you may be searching in a location where geodes are likely to be found. When you are hunting for geodes in nature, look for limestone and basalt rocks. These rocks are often key to the formation of geodes. Geodes are also commonly found in lake or river beds.  Geodes are often formed in stratified sedimentary carbonate deposits such as limestones and dolomites. Stratified volcanic deposits such as basalt and tuffs rocks also lead to geode formation. Check surrounding signs to ensure you are not scouting for geodes on private property. Before you search for geodes on private property, make sure to ask for permission. Even if you are scouting for geodes on public land, it might be protected by a nature preserve, which would mean you might not be permitted to remove natural items from the property.

Article in English: Use a rolling pin to flatten the fondant, applying gentle pressure as you move the pin back and forth to make sure the entire fondant is an even thickness.  You can use any color fondant you want for your carnation. To prevent the fondant from sticking to the rolling pin or work surface, dust both the surface and the rolling pin with a little cornstarch before you begin, or apply a thin layer of shortening. To change the color of your fondant, squeeze a few drops of gel coloring onto the fondant. Then massage it in, kneading the fondant to spread the color evenly throughout. Use fondant cutters or cookie cutters to form your circles from the flattened fondant. Start with the largest circle, which will be the base of your flower. Then make a slightly smaller circle, continuing to decrease the size for each of the remaining 3 pieces.  Adjust the diameter of the circles as needed to create smaller or larger flowers. For fuller flowers, cut out more than 5 circles. If you don’t have fondant or cookie cutters, you can use anything that has a circular shape, like the bottom of a drinking glass. Press it into the fondant and cut around it with a knife. Press the length of the toothpick lightly into the fondant. Rock it back and forth, moving it around the perimeter of the circle. This causes the fondant to curl up into a ruffled edge. Repeat on all 5 circles.  Be careful not to press too hard so you don’t cut through the fondant with the toothpick. You just want to make an indentation. Some bakers choose to lay their fondant on a foam shaping mat during this step. It provides a little cushioning for the flowers to prevent them from ripping or sticking to the counter. This will be the bottom of your flower. Set it in the fondant forming cup so that the edges curl up slightly, giving you a nice curved shape instead of a flat flower.  You can use a small ramekin or even an empty egg carton instead of fondant forming cups. If you’re worried about the fondant sticking to the cups, sprinkle some cornstarch on the inside...

Article in English: Use a shampoo labeled for cats or dogs; never use shampoo for people on your pets. Begin washing your pet's head and neck first so the fleas don't jump up into its eyes, mouth, and ears. Bathing your pet any more than once a week could lead to skin irritation. Using moisturizing shampoo that contains oatmeal can help prevent your pet's skin from getting too dry. At least once a day, run a fine-toothed flea comb through your pet's dry fur. Periodically dip the comb in a cup of hot, soapy water or a 1-to-1 mixture of alcohol and water to kill the fleas you pick from the fur. Watch out for fleas that jump off of your pet. While your pet's coat should be dry, a bathtub is a good place to groom it. You'll have an easier time seeing fleas against the smooth, white surface. Slice a lemon thinly, and add it to pot filled with 1 US pint (470 mL) of water. Bring it just to a boil, then remove it from heat, cover it, and let it sit overnight. Strain the liquid into a spray bottle, then spritz your pet and massage the solution into its fur.  You could also purchase a citrus pet spray online or at a pet store. Citrus can deter fleas for up to 24 hours, but daily applications could irritate your pet's skin. Try spraying every 3 or 4 days, and gradually spray more frequently if there are no signs of skin irritation. Avoid spraying near your pet's face. Discontinue use if you notice red or dry skin, or if your pet scratches itself persistently. It's always best to consult your pet's vet before treating it with a home remedy. If you have a cat, it's best to keep it indoors at all times. If you have a dog, take it outside for short potty breaks. When you take it out, avoid shady, damp areas with lots of overgrowth. Limiting the time your pet spends outdoors will help reduce its exposure to fleas.

Article in English: Use a sharp pair of scissors for this and take care that you don’t cut into the seam of your garment. A small strip of the label will remain behind, stitched into the seam.  It’s possible that the freshly cut label may be itchy or irritating on the back of your neck. Some of the stiffer, more papery labels can cause this. After a few washings, that edge will probably soften and no longer bother you. However, if you’re worried about this, avoid cutting the label off. If you are working with a super itchy label, try completely attaching the tag to your garment with the hemming tape. Place the two pieces of hemming tape along the two remaining sides of the label. Iron down two additional pieces along the other two sides of your label.  Now your label has no loose edges and is completely fastened to your garment. Do not attempt this if your garment is made of a delicate fabric. The heat from the iron can damage your item. Some companies have stopped sewing tags and labels into their clothing completely to create more comfortable garments for their customers. Instead of a tag, the label information is ironed or stamped on the inside of the garment, in the general area where a tag would normally appear. This info is only visible on the inside of a garment, and it is invisible on the outside of the garment.

Article in English: Use a slotted spoon or wire strainer to scoop a soft boiled egg out of the hot water in your pan. Place the egg in an egg cup. You can place it pointy side up or down. The cup will prevent the egg from rolling around on your plate which will make it easier to eat. If you don't have an egg cup, you can set the cooked egg in a shot glass, small bowl, or tea cup. Malaysian style eggs and toast is a popular breakfast in Malaysia and Singapore. Crack one soft-boiled egg into a small ramekin, so the soft yolk is contained. Use a soft-boiled egg with a very soft white. Pour a little soy sauce over the egg and serve it with toast. You can also sprinkle the eggs with white pepper and serve the toast with coconut jam. Soft boil an egg using the cold start method. Simmer the egg for exactly 4 minutes and then remove the egg using a slotted spoon. Set the egg in your egg cup and crack it open. Toast and butter a piece of bread to serve with the dippy egg. To make classic toast soldiers, slice the toast into several long strips. You can dip the toast soldiers into the soft-boiled egg yolk.

Article in English: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove excess dirt, dust, salt, mud, and other dry grime. Faux suede is a popular choice for fashion items like boots, shoes, bags, and purses, and it is possible to clean these when they are dirty. To do this, you will need:  Some newspaper (for shoes) A soft wash cloth or cotton balls A mixture of equal parts water and vinegar, or plain isopropyl alcohol Dip the wash cloth into the cleaning solution and wring out the excess water. You want it slightly damp, not soaking wet. Gently rub the fabric with the damp cloth, rinsing and re-dampening the cloth as needed, until the dirt, salt, or stains are gone. If you are using alcohol instead, transfer it to a spray bottle and spray the alcohol onto a clean cloth before rubbing the fabric. When you are cleaning shoes, stuff them with newspaper as they dry to help them retain their shape. For bags or purses, lay them flat on a towel or hang to dry. If the newspaper inside the shoes becomes damp, replace it with dry paper. Any faux suede item, including a fashion accessory, will become stiff after washing, so use a soft brush to brush the fabric once it’s dry.

Article in English: Use a soft-bristled broom, a dust mop, or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment. Depending on how heavily you use the area, repeat 2–7 times a week, or whenever you notice it getting dusty. If you wait too long, grit and dirt may gouge and scratch your cork floor. Never vacuum without a soft brush attachment, as this can scratch the floor permanently. Fill a bucket with warm water and white vinegar, using .25 cups (59 mL) of vinegar for each 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water. Dip a sponge mop or microfiber cloth in the bucket and wring it out thoroughly. Wipe the floor with enough of the mixture on the mop or cloth to leave a damp sheen, not standing puddles, which can harm the floor. Monthly or whenever your floor looks dirty, mop with a stronger solution. Instead of vinegar, use mild cork-floor or wood-floor detergent, diluted according to label instructions. You may use another mild, pH-neutral cleaner, but test it underneath furniture first to see if it leaves a mark. Go easy if using dish soap or another sudsy cleaner, as too much of it can leave a soapy film on the floor. Use an absorbent towel or soft cloth to wipe up spills on your cork floor as soon as they happen. Never allow moisture to remain on your cork floor. Although cork is durable and moisture-resistant, cork is a type of wood flooring, and will eventually absorb moisture if it isn't removed. If the spill has caused a stain, use the vinegar or detergent solution described above. Repeat with a more concentrated solution if necessary, or look for a specialized cork floor cleaning product. For an extremely dirty floor that hasn't been properly maintained, use one of the following treatments:  If the floor has a polyurethane finish, rent a floor machine and 00 grade wool disks. Reapply the finish after cleaning. If the floor has a wax finish, clean with liquid solvent wax. If this doesn't do the trick, use a buffer (low speed floor machine) with 00 steel wool disks, followed by lamb's wool disks and another application of wax.

Article in English: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove any surface dirt, dust, or soil that could lead to a stain. Doing so will prevent any build-up that might dull the color and texture of your garment. Rinse the affected area with cold water and/or seltzer water to keep the stain from setting. Dab it out with a dry, soft, clean cloth.  Avoid rubbing the stained area with your cloth since this will only encourage the stain to set into the fabric. For particularly stubborn stains, treat them with wool-specific soap. Dab a small amount of your mild wool detergent onto the affected area. Let it soak for a few minutes, and then rinse it with cold water. Remove any excess grease with a metal spoon. Then, soak a section of a clean, soft cloth with white spirit or mineral spirit. Gently blot the affected area until the grease comes up.

Article in English: Use a soil mix that is 1 part potting mix or peat moss to 1 part sand or vermiculite. Add soil to the pots you want to use and dampen thoroughly. Check to make sure there are no dry areas in the soil. Cut at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) below a leaf node. Cut off leaves below the top leaf pair, being careful to cut above the leaf nodes. Removing these leaves causes the plant to produce more roots. Although optional, if you trim the largest leaves to about half of their current size, it can help increase root production. You can use either a liquid or powder form of rooting hormone. Hydrangea cuttings will propagate without rooting hormone, but roots will grow more quickly if you use it. Push down gently until the cutting is 2 inches (5.1 cm) into the soil. It will usually take 2 to 3 weeks for cuttings to root, but it may happen more quickly depending on temperature and humidity.  Place your potted cuttings outdoors if your outside temperature ranges from 60 to 80 degrees F (15.5 to 26.7 degrees C) and you have an area available protected from wind with partial shade. Keep potted cuttings indoors if you are experiencing hotter or colder temperatures. Make sure the rooting hydrangea cuttings receive partial or filtered sunlight. Keep soil moist, but do not over water. Soil shouldn't become soggy as over watering can lead to rot. If you feel resistance, the cutting has rooted. You can transplant now or allow the cutting to further develop its root system.

Article in English: Use a steam vaporizer or cool-mist humidifier to reduce sinus inflammation. You can also create moist air by filling a basin of hot water, bending over it (taking care not to get too close) and covering your head with a towel. Breathe in the steam. Or, you can take a hot shower, breathing in the steam. Try to breathe in moist air two to four times a day in 10- to 20-minute intervals. Your home humidity level should be around 45%. Below 30% is too dry, and over 50% is too high. Use a tool called a hygrometer to measure the levels. Alternating between applying hot and cold compresses. Place a hot compress across the sinuses for three minutes, and then a cold compress for 30 seconds. You can repeat this procedure three times per treatment and between two and six times a day. You can also run hot or cold water over a towel, wring it out, and apply it to your face to get the same effect as a compress. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids, which can help thin out the mucus in your sinuses. This will make it easier to drain and can help with overall hydration. According to studies, men should try to drink 13 cups of water a day, while women should drink around nine. Some people find that drinking hot fluids can help. Enjoy your favorite cup of hot tea or drink broth to thin out the mucus. Follow the packaged instructions and use it up to 6 times a day. Saline nasal sprays can keep the cilia in your nose healthy. This will reduce inflammation in your nose and help treat your sinuses. It also moistens nasal passages to remove dried secretions which helps drain the mucus.

Article in English: Use a vegetable peeler to remove all of the skin. Dice the sweet potatoes on a clean cutting board in about 1 inch (2.5 cm) squares. If you prefer, you could also cut the potatoes into wedges or fries.  It’s important to remove the skin from the potato when you are freezing them diced so that when they defrost, bacteria from the skin doesn’t transfer onto the potato. This process is especially helpful if you have whole sweet potatoes that are on the brink of turning bad. Save your potato skins to make your own vegetable stock, or put them into your compost pile. the sweet potatoes for 2-3 minutes. Boil water in a large pot, then boil the sweet potatoes for 2-3 minutes. Carefully drain the potatoes into a colander, then immediately transfer them to a large bowl filled with ice and water. Leave them in the ice water for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove them from the water and set them on paper towels to dry. The blanching process keeps the sweet potatoes from getting squishy and stringy once they are thawed. Use either sandwich- or gallon-size resealable bags, depending on how many potatoes you have to save. Put in enough potatoes for a meal, and then squeeze out the excess air as you seal them.  Portioning out the potatoes will save you time later—since the potatoes may clump together when they freeze, having pre-portioned baggies will prevent you from having to break apart a large clump of potatoes! If you have a vacuum sealer, this would be a good time to use it! Until the sweet potatoes have fully frozen, avoid putting anything else on top of them, as they could squish the potatoes and damage them before they have a chance to freeze. It should only take 5 to 6 hours for the potatoes to thoroughly freeze through. Label the resealable bag with a permanent marker before you put it in the freezer. Either write, “Prepared on xx/xx/xx” or “Use by xx/xx/xx.” Avoid putting frozen sweet potatoes directly onto the counter without thawing them in the fridge first. If you put them straight onto the counter, they could...

Article in English: Use a water siphon to vacuum the gravel. Then, remove any active carbon for your water filter. Lowering the water level will increase surface agitation of the water and help to circulate the ich medication when you add it to the water. You should also check to make sure the water filter in the tank is pushing a strong, steady flow of water into the tank. Increase the water temperature slowly over a 48-hour period in small increments of 2 degrees F or 1 degree C every hour. This will give your goldfish time to adjust to the rising temperature and prevent shocking him. Unlike the natural treatment, the purpose of raising the water temperature is not to kill the ich with heat, but to speed up the life cycle of the ich. You are trying to force each parasite to develop into the free-swimming stage very quickly so the ich medication can kill them, without harming your fish. There are several commercial ich treatments available online or at your local pet store. Some ich medications are copper-based, so they will not stain like some other medications. However, copper-based ich can be harmful to other invertebrates or plants in the infected aquarium. Always read the label of the medication to ensure it will not harm your other aquarium pets. Follow the dosage instructions on the label to apply the ich medication to the tank water. If you would like to also add salt to the water to boost your goldfish’s slime coat and speed up the killing of the ich, you can do so after you put in the ich medication. Make sure the other fish and invertebrates in the tank are not sensitive to salt treatments. If you are concerned the salt any harm the other fish in the tank, don’t use it. Stick to just the ich medication. It may take some time for the ich medication to rid the tank of ich, as each ich parasite needs to be in the free-swimming stage before it can be killed. After a couple of weeks, the white spots on your fish should be gone and the tank should be ich free. After a couple of weeks of the professional treatment, your...

Article in English: Use a water-soluble, potassium rich fertilizer, diluted to a ratio of about one part fertilizer to four parts water. Apply it once a month during the summer months, during the morning. Fertilize yucca zero to two times during the entire cool season (autumn through winter).  Only fertilize more quickly if your yucca is a fast-growing species. Most yucca species are slow-growing and can be harmed by excess fertilizer. Similarly, if you miss a monthly fertilization in the summer, it is not a big deal. The plant will likely still grow. Some recommend only fertilizing yucca once a year. This is because yucca can survive well in areas with low nutrients. Many yucca plants can get by without any supplementary watering, relying solely on rainwater to survive. Once foliage starts to develop in the warm months, however, you can water it weekly, giving the plant just enough water to slightly moisten the soil without making it wet to the touch. Reduce the frequency of watering if your yucca plant develops brown tips with yellow rings around them. This is a sign of over-watering. Not many pests are drawn to yucca, but snails and slugs will attack new growth. Use a standard pesticide or organic pesticide to get rid of them. Small, green aphids can be washed off with soapy water. Rust and mildew are the most common diseases. Spraying a fungicide may help rid the plant of disease, especially if it is only mildew, but a fungicide may or may not work against rust. Some yucca grow in a rosette shape, and produce a long, central flower stalk. After it dies, this stalk should be cut back all the way to the base to prevent rot. Other yucca varieties are tall and tree-like. These may be pruned to direct growth, but always wear gloves and safety goggles, as yucca can send sharp splinters flying when cut. In either type, cut off dead or withered leaves from the base of the plant whenever you see them. Yucca plants can be damaged if exposed directly to frost. Spreading a thick layer of mulch can go a long way in keeping the plant warm...

Summary in French:


Article in English: Use clearly worded announcements and an introductory questionnaire to make the requirements, date, and time as obvious as possible. If you are looking for a particular type of participant,—for example. people of a particular age group—make this clear in the advertisement. Advertise your focus group in a method that is most appropriate to your target group. For community issues, talk about your project with workers at community organizations and ask them to pass on emails or envelopes to their members. Post posters at places where people of your target demographic are likely to visit. If, for example, your focus group pertains to employees of a particular company, you can choose names randomly from a list of employees. You can also ask bosses to nominate individuals who will have a particularly good knowledge of the subject. For a more targeted approach, you can interview established committees or groups of people with the same job title. When participation isn’t random, you should be mindful of whether the intergroup dynamics of people who know one another will hinder your research. Will the presence of an authority figure scare some? Is there a group of people who are particularly close that might come to dominate the discussion? Offer "goodie bags," money, coupons, paid time off, or free food and drink. Incentives are a major reason for people to join focus groups, and the participants should be compensated for providing valuable information. In most cases, you will need to offer at least $50 to adequately reward a participant. However, you could also offer a single big reward to the winner of a random drawing. Perform the drawing in person at the end of the focus groups, so that no one suspects wrongdoing. This is large enough to get a diversity of opinions, but small enough that everyone should be comfortable. It is probable that 10%-20% of participants who sign up will miss the focus group. However, you do not want more than ten people to arrive. If you invite ten to eight people you should have a...

Article in English: Use cold water to flush out as much of the stain as possible.  Many of the pigments in pollen are composed of fats and respond best to cold water for removal.  Therefore, avoid using hot water before pretreating the stain, as it may further set it and make it more difficult to remove later. You can use an enzyme cleaner, traditional laundry spot cleaner, or a small amount of dishwashing liquid. Any of these pretreatment solutions should be adequate for stain removal. Gently work the pretreatment solution of your choice into the stain and allow it to sit for at least 20 minutes before washing.  Before pretreating, test the solution on an inconspicuous area to test for color-fastness. Enzyme cleaners work by breaking down biological substances (such as the fat in pollen pigment) and thus generally work best for this type of stain. Use your normal detergent on the hottest setting that the fabric will allow (check the tags of the garment for washing instructions).  For stubborn stains, use an enzyme-based detergent and wash in warm water; this type of detergent works best with warm, but not hot, water.

Article in English: Use discarded walnut shells or buy a walnut powder to use in place of the shells. The more shells you use, the more concentrated your color will be. Place the shells in a pot and cover them with water. Boil them on high for 30 minutes. You can let the water sit out to cool, or you can place it in the refrigerator to speed up the process. You must let it fully cool before handing it because you could burn yourself. You will be using the tinted water to darken your hair, so strain it into a container that you can use. Remember that the water will dye anything it touches, so be careful not to spill it or get it on your skin. Use your dye applicator brush, squeeze bottle, or a cotton ball to apply the tinted water. Make sure that it thoroughly covers your hair. Give the product an hour to soak into your hair. If you want a really dark shade, let it sit for longer. The longer you wait, the darker your hair will be. Hot water can wash out some of the color, so wash in lukewarm water instead. Continue to wash your hair in lukewarm water to maintain your darker color.

Article in English: Use disposable plastic bottles for the easiest set-up and clean up. Pour 3 tablespoons (51 g) of table salt per bottle. Put the caps back on and shake the bottles to thoroughly mix the salt. Any standard salt you have in your kitchen will work. Leave them inside for a few hours until they are completely frozen. Once the water turns to ice, take the bottles out and set them aside.  Salt lowers the freezing temperature of water and makes the ice colder. It may take longer for your bottles to freeze depending on the size of your freezer. A table fan or box fan will work best, but you can use any fan you want. Turn on the fan and put your bottles in front of it. The air will cool down as it passes around the bottles. Keep the fan on as long as the bottles are frozen for a makeshift air conditioner.  Spread the bottles out so they don’t block any of the fan’s airstream. Put the bottles on a small table in front of a standing fan. Don’t use the oscillation setting on your fan if it has one. Keep it pointed at the water bottles for the whole time. When the ice melts, simply freeze the bottles again. In a few hours, you can run your fan like an air conditioner again! Keep multiple bottles prepared in your freezer so you don’t have to wait for them to freeze again.

Article in English: Use lukewarm water when you wash them and make sure you dry them well after every shower or bath. Moisture can encourage the growth of smelly bacteria. Odors from your feet can linger in your shoes, so give your shoes at least 24 hours to air out.  To help your shoes dry out faster, remove the inner soles in the shoes, if possible.  Avoid wearing plastic shoes, as they will not let your feet breath. Instead, look for shoes made of leather, canvas, or sports mesh. You should also only wear thick, soft socks made of an absorbent material like cotton or wool.   Nylon socks are not very good at preventing smelly feet as they are not very breathable and may cause your feet to sweat. Look for feet-fresh socks, which are specifically made for people who play sports. They have ventilation panels to keep your feet dry.  You could also switch to antibacterial socks, which are covered in chemicals to discourage the growth of odor producing bacteria on your feet. This will help to sooth your feet, and prevent itchiness, and odor. These are insoles that are specially made to fight foot odor, as they keep your shoes smelling fresh when your feet are sweaty and they will also absorb some of the sweat. Cedar insoles are also very effective as they are made of natural, anti-fungal cedar wood. They also have a pleasant menthol aroma and will combat fungal build-up. This will prevent your feet from sweating too much in your shoes and lessen the development of odor causing bacteria. Look between your toes and on the bottoms of your feet for any redness or dry, patchy skin. Get treatment for any fungal infections as soon as possible to prevent them from becoming a larger issue.

Article in English: Use measuring tape to take precise measurements of the area of wall you'll be tiling. To find the area of your wall, multiple the length times the width, and then divide this number by the area of 1 box of the tiles you are using in order to determine how many to purchase.  When you're purchasing the tile, buy an extra package of tiles in case some get damaged while you're hanging them. For instance, if the wall is 10 by 12 feet (3.0 by 3.7 m), it is 120 square feet (11 m2). Then, if each box of tile has 10 square feet (0.93 m2) of tile, divide 120 by 10 to find that you need 12 boxes to cover the wall exactly. Then, you should add an additional box to account for potentially damaged tiles. Since the grout doesn't take up much space between the tiles, and your tiles likely won't fit in the space perfectly, you don't need to account for it in your calculations. Put on a pair of safety goggles before you start removing the tile. Then, place the chisel at a 45 degree angle between the tiles and hit the end of the chisel with the hammer to separate the tiles from the wall. Use the chisel to scrape between the tiles and the wall until they've all been removed.  It's easiest to start removing tile from a corner or from the top of the wall so you can place the chisel directly on the grout, which tends to be weaker than the tile. Be careful while you're removing the tile. It's easy to accidentally make a crack or hole in the drywall if you're not holding the chisel at a 45 degree angle while you work. in the wall with spackle. Once you've exposed the drywall underneath any existing tile, you'll be able to see any problem areas. Use a scraper to apply the spackle and let it dry according to the package directions, which is normally about 4-6 hours.  For cracks and holes larger than 4–5 inches (10–13 cm), you may need to patch them with drywall. If you've never hung drywall, ask a professional for a quote to see how much it will cost to fix that area. If the wall doesn't have tile, it is probably painted or...

Article in English: Use no more than a pea-sized amount. Make sure that you cover the entire pimple in a thin layer of toothpaste. Avoid getting any toothpaste on the skin around the pimple. Because toothpaste dries out pimples, it may also dry out your skin, which may lead to further irritation and breakouts. If you have a lot of acne, consider using a doctor or pharmacist-prescribed ointment instead. You should never apply toothpaste to your entire face or use it as a face mask. How long you leave the toothpaste on the pimple will depend on your skin type and the size of the pimple. The general rule of thumb is 30 minutes, but if you have sensitive skin, then you may have to leave the toothpaste on for even less time. Here are some guidelines:  For sensitive skin and small pimples, leave the toothpaste on for 5 to 10 minutes. For regular skin or large pimples, leave the toothpaste on for 30 to 60 minutes. Consider leaving the toothpaste on overnight. Keep in mind, however, that this may irritate your skin, especially if you have sensitive skin. It may also get messy if you tend to move around a lot in your sleep. Do not use any soaps or facial cleansers. You can use just water or you can use a damp washcloth, but be careful not to rub the pimple too hard, or you will irritate the skin. The pimple should be smaller and less-inflamed. Do not use it every single day or several times a day. If you have severe acne, then consider using a cream made specifically for treating acne. Toothpaste does not replace medical treatment.

Article in English: Use of diuretics can contribute directly to low potassium.  Some patients with medical conditions such as high blood pressure may require diuretics for treatment. However, if these are leading to low potassium, you may need to talk to your doctor about an alternate medication. Diuretics are a class of medication that includes furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ). Diuretics attempt to relieve high blood pressure by increasing the urination rate. However, this can cause minerals like potassium to be hard to maintain in balanced to the bodily needs, as they are excreted from the body in the urine. While some causes of low potassium are medical, some can be prevented by lifestyle changes.  If you drink alcohol excessively, use laxatives too frequently, or constantly sweat profusely, you could be causing your low potassium.  Talk to a medical professional about changing these habits or altering your environment to assess the problem.  You may need to seek treatment for alcohol addiction if you do not feel that you can drink less on your own. If you overuse laxatives, talk to your physician about how to reduce your reliance on them through natural methods. If you sweat profusely, you may need to change your work or living environment.  Keeping cooler, staying hydrated, or taking medical steps to sweat less may be necessary. Other conditions that can lead to low potassium include chronic kidney disease, diabetic ketoacidosis, diarrhea, aldosteronism, hyperaldosteronism, and antibiotic use. Low potassium can be an indicator of other serious medical conditions. Chronic kidney disease and diabetic ketoacidosis can lead to low potassium and should be addressed immediately.  Additional conditions that may lead to low potassium are a folic acid deficiency or stomach ailments that cause persistent vomiting or diarrhea. Hyperaldosteronism leads to a syndrome that includes hypertension and hypokalemia. The best way to increase your potassium level is by eating potassium-rich foods.  You can also take a potassium...

Article in English: Use one hand to hold the skin and cartilage of the ear taut. Doing so can make it easier to slide the cuff into place.  It is often easiest to use whichever hand is located on the same side of the body as the ear you're working on. When putting a cuff on your left ear, use your left hand to hold the ear taut. When working with the right ear, use your right hand. Pinch the top of the ear just above the cuff in place using your index and middle fingers. Pinch the earlobe in place using your thumb and ring finger. Gently tug the top and bottom of your ear in separate directions, causing the outer ridge of the ear to stretch just enough to become firm and taut. Most ear cuffs are delicate enough for you to adjust by hand. Squeeze the opening in between your fingers to make it tighter. If you want to make the cuff looser, pry the opening apart wider with your fingers.  Adjustments made with your fingers can be done while the ear cuff is on your ear, but you should work carefully and in slow increments to avoid misshaping the cuff or injuring your ear. When working with ornate wire ear cuffs, you may also need to adjust the angle of the cuff's decorative wiring with your fingers so that it matches the natural curvature of your ear.

Article in English: Use soap and water to thoroughly wash your stomach. Dry it off completely with a towel. The bleaching cream product you bought should have instructions on how to prepare the cream. Mix the components in equal proportions.  Any sort of commercial chemical hair bleaching product will work.  Generally, your bleaching product will come with the bleach itself, and some conditioner. You'll have to mix the bleach and the conditioner in a bowl. Use the brush or spatula provide with the bleaching cream to apply it to the hair-affected area of your stomach. Leave the cream on for 5 to 7 minutes before continuing. If you've never used bleach to lighter your hair before, it would be wise to do a patch test before applying bleach to the whole area, to rule out a potential allergic reaction. Just apply some bleach to a small patch of skin and wait 5 to 7 minutes. Then rinse it off and continue bleaching the rest of your stomach hair. Remove the bleaching cream with warm water. The skin affected might look lighter than usual but that effect won't last long.

For easier electrical and plumbing installations later on, keep all the keyhole knockouts aligned by cutting all studs to length from the same end. Protect your hands with heavy-duty gloves. To cut multiple pieces at once, use a miter saw with a metal cutting blade. Make cutting the studs with aviation snips easier by first scoring the studs with a utility knife on both sides and then bending the stud back and forth until it breaks apart. Drive a 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) No. 8 pan-head screw in the middle where they meet. This should be done at medium speed.

Article in English: Use strainers to minimize the chance of hair entering the drain. These strainers just fit over the drain and catch hair before it goes down to where you can't get it as easily. You can purchase strainers from a hardware store near you. However, you do need to clean out these strainers regularly to keep your shower draining properly. Run hot water down your drain every time you use the shower or bath. This process will allow fresh build-up to be washed away, reducing the chances of prolonged buildup sticking to your pipes. You can also use a baking soda flush once or month or so. Simply start by dumping a cup of baking soda down your drain. Follow that with a cup of boiling water. Doing so can help keep clogs from building up.

Article in English: Use the first person perspective (I, me, my, mine) when writing your autobiographical essay. You share your own experiences in an autobiographical essay, so use the first person perspective.  Do not use the second person perspective (“you”) or switch back and forth between “I” and “you.” Use the first person perspective (“I”) throughout your entire essay. Your introduction should immediately begin telling your story. Think about what you will discuss in your essay to help you determine what you should include in your introduction. Your introduction should also identify the main idea of your autobiographical essay and act as a preview to your story. Jump right in. One way to begin a story is to immediately begin describing something that happened, even if it happened in the middle of your story. You might start with something like, “There I was, standing in front of the entire 10th grade reading a story I had written.” Use vivid details to describe the setting of your autobiography to your readers. Provide context and background that they will need to understand the rest of your essay.  Say something tantalizing to your reader. For example, you might start with something like, "I never expected to be as happy as I was on that day."  Or, "Many things have happened to me in my life, but this was the worst.” Just make sure that the opening fits with your topic. Avoid beginnings that are too general or broad. Never open with, “Since the dawn of time…” This type of opening does not help your reader understand what your story is about. "Too general" openings are boring as well.  Avoid opening with a quote, unless it is meaningful to you and crucial to your story. If you want to include a meaningful quote in your autobiographical essay, it should have something to do with your story. You should talk about what it means to you when you provide it. After you have introduced your story and hooked your readers, you will need to transition into telling the story. End your introduction with a sentence that will leave your...

Article in English: Use the floor so you won't accidentally get your bed wet. Spread out the jeans to make it easier to wet the fabric.  The dye in the denim may stain while it’s wet, so you may want to lay down a plastic garbage bag or some old towels before you try this method. If you’re planning to stretch your waistband, unbutton your pants so that you won’t accidentally pull off the button. Use a spray bottle to coat a small section with water. The fabric should feel damp but doesn’t need to be soaked. Work from the waist down and only wet a single area at a time.   If your denim feels hard to stretch, then you may want to spray it again. You can also apply more water as necessary while you’re stretching the jeans. If you have liquid fabric softener, add about 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of it to your spray bottle before you wet your jeans. This will help soften the denim so it stretches more easily. Place your feet near the area where you want to stretch. This will pin the jeans to the floor so that they stretch when you pull on them.  For instance, when you're stretching the waistband, stand near the top of the jeans. If you want to stretch the thighs, stand on the edge of the pant leg. It’s best to wear socks or go barefoot while you do this. Shoes may transfer dirt and germs onto your pants. Bend over, grip the denim in your hands, and pull with all of your strength in the opposite direction of your body. Work your way over the surface of the jeans, pulling the denim in each section you want to stretch. Then, stand back up and move to the other side of your jeans. If it's easier, you can use both hands to grip opposite sides of the denim and pull it in opposite directions as hard as you can.  If your jeans feel too snug, pull them width-wise, starting at the waistband. Continue stretching through the hips, crotch, and thighs. If your jeans are too short, it’s best to start in the leg area. Begin pulling down on the fabric starting at around the mid-thigh area. Don’t pull the belt loops or the pockets, as these areas are weak...

Article in English: Use the information gleaned about the person, the context, and how an outsider might view the insult to determine your reaction. . Choosing to ignore an insult can give you power over the offender. People make offensive remarks for some sort of reaction--perhaps to embarrass you or get under your skin. When you ignore the slight, as if you didn't even hear it, they don't get the satisfaction of seeing you react. Consider insults like a game of tennis. Someone can serve you the ball, but it's up to you if you choose to hit it back. When you don't, the person eventually gets bored and moves along. Another way to be a good sport - or prevent someone from getting under your skin - is to react with a brief chuckle and a witty comeback. Humor can serve to undermine the insult, bring the audience on your side, and remove tension from the environment. For example, your coworker insults your idea on how you should handle a client. You might respond by saying "Ha! Here I was thinking you actually had a solution". Think of the insult as the other person's opinion only. We're all entitled to them, but it doesn't necessarily mean the opinion is true or shared by others. However, if the person is genuine and has no reason to offend you or get a rise out of you, you might consider whether you want to consider his words as constructive criticism rather than an insult. This is generally the route you don't want to go. Getting angry doesn't do any favors for you or the person you're upset with. And, frequently, becoming defensive can put the audience on the side of the person who did the insulting, making it seem as if you can't handle criticism. A better angle to responding with anger or defensiveness is to aim for acceptance. Remember, you can always learn from another's perspective of you, even if the opinion is erroneous. Take advantage of criticism to further enhance your understanding of yourself and the world around you. If you have decided that the person meant you no harm - or, if there was some truth to the insult...
