Article in English: Use the same slow and steady movements and soothing voice that you used when building his trust. Even though your budgie should be much more comfortable with you and your hand at this point, you will need to be consistently non-threatening to them to make progress in taming them.  Slowly stick out your index finger so that it will act as a perch for your budgie to step on.  Drape a towel over your hand if you think that your budgie will bite you. Make sure that you do this slowly. Your budgie may react in the same way as when you moved your hand closer to give him a treat. If this happens, wait for the budgie to calm down, then try again. If your budgie seems too flustered and nervous, you may want to wait until later in the day or just try again on another day. Once the budgie is comfortable with having your index finger close to him, slowly place your index finger on his chest just above his feet and gently push up. Make sure to use light pressure when you place your finger on their chest.  If you are too forceful when you place your index finger on your budgie’s chest, they may get nervous and fly away from you. Your budgie may not understand this movement at first and may fly away. Just be patient with him and try again until he understands what you want them to do.  Gently saying ‘step up’ as a verbal cue as you push on your budgie's chest may help them understand that they should step up onto your finger.  If your budgie is hesitant, you can use some millet to entice them to step onto your finger. When your budgie steps onto your finger, keep your hand as still as possible. Even though budgies are used to perches, it may take some time for your budgie to get comfortable with using your hand as a perch.  Reward him with a treat as positive reinforcement for using your finger as a perch. Practice having your budgie use your finger as a perch several times a day, rewarding them each time. Now that your budgie is comfortable stepping onto your hand, it is now time to practice taking them out of their cage....

Article in English: Use the soft cloth to clear off the metal band without scratching it. If you need to, slightly dampen the cloth in water. Make sure it isn't dripping, then pass it over the band. Any gentle dish detergent that you'd use on metal kitchen cookware and utensils can be used here. Opt for the non-abrasive and neutral pH varieties such as Dawn to limit the risk to the band. Add a squirt of the detergent to a cup of water and stir it until it is soapy. This should only be done for difficult debris that can't be removed by dry wiping. Dip a microfiber cloth into the mixture. Make sure the cloth is slightly damp and not dripping, then use it to wipe the band. You may also dip the band into the mixture if the tracker is removed or waterproof, but don't linger in the water. A soft-bristled toothbrush works well for loosening the debris. Scrub the area and the debris should fall off. For small spaces or chain links in the band, you can remove trapped debris with a toothpick. Dampen a microfiber cloth with warm water. Wipe off the band, making sure to remove all of the soap. If you removed the tracker or have a waterproof one, you can rinse off the soap under running water. Don't allow water to sit on the metal. Use a dry microfiber cloth or other cloth designed not to scratch metal. Wipe the band, making sure to remove any moisture. Metal bands generally aren't resistant to water and will take on tarnish when left exposed.

Article in English: Use the spade to dig holes to the depths required by the various vegetables you're planting. Put a little fertilizer into each hole, then drop the seeds into the holes or gently place the seedlings into them. Cover the holes with topsoil and a layer of mulch, if required. For the first few weeks, while the vegetables take root, you need to keep the topsoil moist. Use the misting function on your garden hose to lightly spray the garden every day.  Check the soil often. If it seems to be dry, mist it again. Avoid watering the garden at night. If water sits all night without getting absorbed or evaporating, it could cause fungus to grow. As the vegetables take and begin to sprout, take notice of non-vegetable plants that may also be taking advantage of the fertilizer and water you're providing. Grasp the weeds close to the roots and gently pull them out, then throw them away in an area away from the garden so their seeds don't spread. Be careful not to pull up newly sprouted vegetables. Before the vegetable plants begin to bear fruit, you might want to put up a fence to keep out the rabbits and squirrels. A short chicken wire fence usually does the trick. If you have deer, however, you might need to build something larger. Give the vegetable plants the amount of water, pruning, and fertilizer they require. Continue weeding the garden frequently as the vegetables grow throughout the summer. When it's time to harvest vegetables, pick only the ripest ones first and allow the others more time to grow.

Article in English: Use the tape measure to identify the size of the patch that will be extracted from the surrounding carpet. This will make it easier to cut a replacement patch to size. Use duct tape to outline a square section to be removed. Check the position of the tape with the measurements taken previously to make sure the inside edge of the tape matches those dimensions.  Try to farm the replacement carpet from an inconspicuous area, such as inside a closet or underneath a bed. Be sure that the place you farm the replacement carpet from isn't going to be visible. You can also keep extra carpet in your attic or storage for repairing damaged areas. Use a utility knife or a carpet cutting tool to gently cut along the inside edge of the duct tape. Apply just enough pressure to cut through both the surface of the carpet and the backing, but not enough to damage the underlying layer of padding. Once the section is completely cut, lift it off the carpet surface. If working with a carpet cutting tool, use the tool to first make an imprint. Once an imprint has been made, attach the cutter blades and the pivot screw and make your incision, rotating as many as two or three times in order to remove it. Turn a carpet remnant face down and measure a patch for the carpeting, using the measurements obtained earlier as a guideline. Mark the lines of the patch with the pencil, and then use a utility knife or carpet cutter to cut out the patch. Neutralize the disk temporarily by putting a small amount of water on it. Lift the edges of the carpeting around the hole and slide the adhesive disk underneath, with the adhesive side facing upward.  Make sure that the adhesive disk is significantly larger than replacement patch: you want the disk to hold onto all of the replacement patch, especially the corners, as well as some surrounding carpet. When the patch becomes sticky again, in about three to five minutes, press down on the outer edge of the carpet to secure it into place. Groom away any loose carpet fibers from the edge of the hole....

Article in English: Use the top of a box that is taped close on one side to tuck the flaps into the box. The extra cardboard will give the outer edge of our dollhouse more structural support. Tape the flaps to the inside of the box. You can use any size box you’d like to create your dollhouse. A larger box will give you more space to create rooms inside the house.  Write down the measurements and determine how many rooms you’d like your house to include. Divide the width of your box by the number of rooms you want to have on each level of the house. This number is the width of each room. This number is the height of each room Attach a large piece of cardboard folded in a “V” shape to the top of your dollhouse.  Cut a rectangle that is an inch deeper than your house and 8-12 inches wider than the house. Fold the cardboard into a “V” with a crease in the middle. Attach the roof with a hot glue gun to the outer walls of the dollhouse. Fill in the eaves under the roof above the ceiling of your house with a triangle piece of cardboard cut to size. Add color to the exterior of your house with acrylic paint. You can also paint the interior of the rooms and floor to make each room special. Be creative to fold and connect pieces of cardboard to create beds, tables, chairs, and more. Use old fabric to cover couches or make rugs.

Article in English: Use thick waterproof gloves that come up to your elbow. Gloves will protect your hands from anything in the water and keep your hands dry as you break the clog apart. Stick the end of a flathead screwdriver in between the openings of your grate. Bend the screwdriver back to pry the grate away from the drain. Set the grating aside while working inside your drain. If the drain has a solid top, pry it up from the edge instead. If your hands fit inside of the drain and you notice any obstructions, reach into the water and see if you can break apart the clog. Scoop out any debris and throw it away in a trash can. Keep scooping out the clog until you can’t pick up anymore. Make sure you’re wearing your rubber gloves before putting your hands in the water. There may be objects hidden under the water or in the clog that could cause irritation. Drain rods are long flexible plumbing tools used to break apart blockages deep within the pipes. Feed the first rod with the rubber plunger attachment into your drain, using short bursts to force it further down. Once the rod is in the drain pipe, spin it clockwise to break apart the clog.  Drain rods can be purchased from your local hardware store. If there’s a solid obstruction, pull out the rod and use the corkscrew attachment instead of the plunger. Spray the drain opening with 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water using your hose to test the drainage and to get rid of any loose material. Use 1–2 cups (240–470 ml) of bleach to prevent any smells and to break apart any residual obstructions. If the drain still runs slow, use your drain rods until it works again. If you can’t get it to work, you may need to call a professional.

Article in English: Use this method if you’re unable to get the user’s password with other methods. This method won’t allow you to find or reset the password, but you can access the user’s files so that their data is not lost. You’ll need administrative access to another Windows computer for this to work.  You will be temporarily removing the hard drive from the Windows XP PC and installing it in the second PC. To use this method, you’ll need to have some familiarity with removing a hard drive from a PC as well as putting a hard drive in an external USB hard drive enclosure. If you don’t have an enclosure, you could also put the hard drive in the other PC. If the computer with the missing password is a laptop, the instructions are similar, except you’ll definitely need an external hard drive enclosure to connect a laptop hard drive to a desktop computer (and vice-versa). With the computer turned off and unplugged, open the case and disconnect the hard drive. Alternatively you could open the second PC and install it. Because you’re logged in as an administrator and have the other hard drive connected to the computer, you now have access to everything on the other hard drive. Press ⊞ Win+E to open the File Explorer.  The second hard drive will show under “Computer” or “This PC,” depending on the version of Windows you are using. Double-click this drive and navigate to the user’s files, which are located in C:\Windows\Documents and Settings\User, where “User” is the name of your user. Press ⊞ Win+E again to open a second instance of the File Explorer, which will make it simple to drag files from your user’s directory to the second computer. You can drag the files anywhere, including a flash drive. While you haven’t recovered the password, you’ve copied the user’s files so they haven’t lost any data.

Article in English: Use warm water and work up a good lather. This facial works best with a lathering facial cleanser because the lather helps hold the sugar on your skin. You can use whichever sugar you like. Some people recommend using brown sugar as it’s softer and gentler to your skin. You can also use coarser, granulated sugar if you prefer. It’s really a matter of personal preference. Using gentle circular motions with your fingers, work the sugar into the lather. Go over your entire face, but avoid your lips and eyes. Don’t use a washcloth to rub the sugar into your skin, as this will be too harsh of an exfoliant and may irritate your skin. The sugar will do its work even with gentle pressure, so resist the urge to press down hard as you spread it over your skin. It’s important to be gentle so that you don’t cause any microscopic tears on your skin’s surface, which could lead to breakouts or just generally less healthy-looking skin. If the lather dies down, add a bit of water. Just don’t add too much, or the sugar will dissolve. Once your face is covered and the sugar is firmly set in the lather, let the mixture sink into your skin for 15 to 20 minutes. Try not to move around too much during this time, as the sugar will be more likely to fall off and you’ll reduce the benefits of the mask. It’ll also make your house messy, with little crumbs of sugar everywhere. After 15 to 20 minutes, rinse the mask off with cool water. The cool water will help close your pores and seal in moisture. Be gentle as you pat your face dry. If you scrub your face with the towel, you may cause skin irritation, including breakouts. Give your skin a final treat by massaging your favorite moisturizer into your face and neck.

Article in English: Use white if you want to simplify the process, since you won’t need to color your frosting. Choose red, yellow, purple, blue or any other color. Brown shoes can be made using chocolate frosting, rather than coloring white frosting. The liners make up the platform of your heel, so they should be color coordinated to your frosting and decorations. Try something that matches the color of your frosting. You can also use toasted coconut. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified. If you are using chocolate cake mix, but you don’t want your cupcake shoes to appear brown, use two cupcake liners for each cupcake. The oil in the cake can seep through the liner and make it opaque. Test them by poking a metal skewer into the center. If it comes out clean it is done. Your cupcakes should be at room temperature before you try to frost them.

Article in English: Use your cell phone to call emergency services. If you don’t have a cell phone, walk into an establishment, tell them you’re being followed, and ask if you can use their phone to call the police. If they won’t let you use the phone, ask them to call for you.  Tell the police someone is following you and you are scared for your life. Give them as much information as you can about the person following you. Let them know exactly where you are. Follow their directions. Call or text friends who may be nearby. Plan to meet with a group of them as soon as you can. By being in a group, you may deter the person that is following you from continuing to do so. In addition, your friends will make you feel safe and could help defend you.  Ask your friends to meet you in a public area, like on the street, in a bar, or in a restaurant. Request that a friend picks you up in a public location as soon as possible. If you feel immediately threatened, yell or honk your horn. This will draw attention to you. By honking or simply yelling “help me,” you could both scare off the offender and get someone to come to your assistance.  If you’re in a car, consider honking and turning on your emergency lights. This will alert passersby and emergency service personnel that you need assistance. Remember that while making noise could alert others to the fact that you are in danger, it could also anger the person following you and cause them to hurt you.

Article in English: Use your hook to grab the yarn. As you grab the yarn, twist the hook so that the yarn wraps around it in a clockwise rotation.  If you have difficulty grabbing the yarn, hold the Slipknot in between the thumb and forefinger of your non-writing hand to create tension and try again. Grab yarn from the side still attached to the ball, not the loose end. The yarn needs to slide into the hooked part of your crochet hook. Carefully pull the yarn tucked into your hook through the Slipknot loop already on your hook.  When you do this, the Slipknot hoop should turn into your first chain stitch. You should still be left with one loop on your hook. The technique you used to create your first chain stitch is the same technique you should use to create the rest of your chain stitches. Create as many chain stitches as you want until you feel comfortable with the process.  Grab the yarn in the same way each time you want to make another chain stitch. For each chain stitch, you should pull the yarn through the loop already on your hook. A new stitch will form, and a new loop will appear on your hook. Right now, you should try to make loose chain stitches that are easy to see. Try to make each stitch the same size, too.

Article in English: Use your regular shampoo to wash your hair in the shower. Really work the shampoo into your scalp using your fingers and rinse it out thoroughly with lukewarm water. Repeat the process one or two more times, as needed. After you finish shampooing, add some conditioner to your hair and let it sit for 5 minutes before rinsing out. Clarifying shampoos are made to give your hair an extra deep cleansing – removing all the gunk and buildup that can cling to your hair over time that regular shampoos often aren’t able to remove. These kinds of shampoos are used in just the same way as regular shampoo. Simply apply the clarifying shampoo to your damp hair, massage it into your scalp and down the rest of your locks, then rinse it out completely. Be sure to apply a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to your hair after using the clarifying shampoo as clarifying shampoo can remove many of the natural vitamins and minerals from your hair and dry it out. Using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner on your hair will help to replenish these minerals that have been stripped away. Before using the dry shampoo, run a clean, dry towel down the length of your hair. Rub the hair lightly, beginning at the roots, then working your way down to the tips. This will help soak up some of the oils on the surface. Then apply a dry shampoo powder to your hair. Spray some dry shampoo on your hair and work it into your scalp.  You might want to use a boar bristle brush to help distribute the oil buildup. If your hair is still quite oily, try adding some baby powder on top of the dry shampoo. Work it into your scalp until the white has fully disappeared. Dishwashing detergent is very good at removing gunk and grime from dishes – and it can work for your hair too! Just apply 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of dishwasher detergent to your hair and massage it into your scalp. Work it through the length of your hair. Rinse your hair thoroughly to make sure all of the detergent is removed, as it can be quite damaging to your hair if it is left in for too...

Article in English: Use your your pointer (index) finger and your thumb to hold the match about halfway down the wooden stick. You can gently wrap your other fingers around the base of the stick for support if needed. If this is the first time you've ever tried to light a match, stick with wooden "strike on box" matches for now — these are generally the easiest to light for beginners. Once you get confident with these, you can move onto paper matches and "strike anywhere" matches. Paper matches almost always come in small cardboard fold-over "book" — slip the flat piece of cardboard up to reveal a handful of small paper matches joined to the booklet at their bases. To get a match ready to light, grab one of the matches, fold it so it points away from the others, and tear it out at its base. Paper matches are a little harder to light than wooden matches, but with a little practice, they're easily mastered. Don't worry if you have to try the tricks in this section several times until you find a method that's right for you.

Article in English: Using a box-end wrench, loosen the bleeder screw. Take a piece of rubber vacuum hose and put it on to the end of the bleeder screw and put the other end into an empty  clear plastic bottle. Have your partner pump the brakes slowly until the dirty fluid comes out of the brakes lines and into the bottle. Allow enough fluid to exit so that the end of rubber hose is submerged in brake fluid. (Check the Master Cylinder frequently to make sure there is plenty of brake fluid.) Close the bleeder screw with the wrench and have your partner pump the pedal 3 times and hold it.    Open up the bleeder screw briefly to allow the brake fluid to exit the rubber hose. Have your partner tell you when the brake pedal is on the floor, and, have him/her keep it there while you close the bleeder screw. Repeat this process two more times. (Remember periodically check the Master Cylinder fluid level, so it does not go dry!) After the third time, tighten the bleeder screw and repeat this process on the other three wheels and, in this order; Left Rear, Right Front and Left Front. Depending on the vehicle, the bleeding procedure will vary in which wheel is bled first, second and so on. The above sequence will work for a large portion of vehicles, however you should check with a website like Alldata or similar to verify bleeding sequence. With the engine off, have your partner push down on the brake pedal and go around to all four wheels and check for leaks. Then, push the brake pedal with your foot. It should travel about 1–3 inches (2.5–7.6 cm) and stop. The brake pedal should feel very hard at this stopping point. Remember that brake fluid is considered hazardous waste and therefore should never be poured down the sink or toilet, onto the ground in your yard, in the garbage, or down the sewer drain or septic tank. Talk with your local auto shop or look for a household hazardous waste (HHW) recycling collection site.

Article in English: Using a fuel injector cleaning kit yearly can help prevent the buildup of harmful deposits. If you clean less regularly, carbonaceous deposits can grow and harden, hindering the function of your vehicle. Set a yearly reminder on your phone or computer or time this yearly cleaning with a similar task, like your vehicle's yearly oil change. If you do not use your vehicle often, you can clean the fuel injectors every 15,000 miles instead. Fuel injectors may sometimes need to be replaced entirely to ensure that your vehicle functions properly. If you notice signs that your fuel injectors may be malfunctioning, bring your vehicle to a mechanic to get checked as soon as possible. These signs may include:  Your cylinders misfiring. The "check engine" light turning on frequently. Your vehicle stalling or not starting with a full tank of gas. Smoke. If you are unable to perform yearly cleanings on your own, do not skip the process entirely. Bring your vehicle to have the fuel injectors professionally cleaned every year as needed. Contact local repair shops for price estimates before deciding where to bring your car for the cleaning. This will be costly but it will prevent problems with your engine that may prove to be costly in the future.

Article in English: Using a hair dryer, straightening iron or curling iron every day will damage your hair, causing it to get brittle and break more easily. When this happens, it can take forever for your hair to grow back out. Keep your hair healthy by avoiding heating tools unless you want to achieve a certain style for a special occasion. If you're interested in getting extensions, be very careful what kind you choose. Extensions are hard on hair, and if put in improperly they can cause hair damage and hair loss. Some say that no extensions are good for hair, but if you definitely want to get them, make sure you have them put in by someone who knows what she's doing.  Glue-in weaves are known for damaging hair, since the glue bonds the weave to your existing hair. Sew-in weaves can be less damaging, but can still wreak havoc if the weaves are heavy and pull out your hair. The way you take care of your hair every day can make a big difference when it comes to growing it out. You want to make sure your hair is as healthy as possible so it grows in long and strong. Here's what you can do:  Don't wash it every single day, since this dries out your hair. Limit your shampooing to two or three times a week. Pat it dry gently with a towel instead of using a hair dryer. Comb it with a wide-toothed comb instead of using a brush. Don't dye or bleach your hair, since this causes damage. Eating plenty of protein and omega-3 fats will help nourish your hair. While eating healthy might not necessarily make it grow faster, it will help your hair grow in strong and healthy. Here's what to eat:  Salmon, tuna, and other fish that contain omega-3 fatty acids Avocados, nuts, olive oil and other foods that have healthy fats Chicken, beef, pork and other proteins Plenty of fresh leafy greens and other vegetables that nourish your body with nutrients it needs for healthy hair and skin

Article in English: Using a hammer or a mallet, drive 4 wooden stakes vertically into the ground around all sides of the plant. The stakes should be placed at a distance of at least 3–4 inches (7.6–10.2 cm) from the base of the plant. Drive the stakes at least 3–4 inches (7.6–10.2 cm) into the ground to make sure they are secure.  The stakes should be as tall as your plant. Do not allow the branches of your plant to rest on the stakes. Start building the shelters about a month before the first expected frost. While your hydrangea plants need protection for winter conditions, they also need steady air circulation. Be sure to choose a material for your plant "cages" that will allow air to flow through easily, such as burlap. Wrap the material  around the outside of the wooden stakes until the circle is closed. Garden fleece is an alternative to burlap that can be found at most garden centers or online. Attach the top, middle, and bottom of each stake to the breathable material wrapped  around it. Position the mouth of your staple gun directly over the cage material and wood behind it. Press the trigger of the staple gun to insert the staples firmly into the wood. If you don't secure the material to the wooden stakes, heavy snow or wind could remove the cage. If you expect harsh, cold conditions over the winter, add extra insulation to your hydrangea plant. Fill the "cage" to the top with leaves so that your plant is completely surrounded. The leaves will protect your hydrangea plant from the cold without weighing it down or damaging it.  Adding mulch to the base of your plant will not be necessary if you do this step. Pine needles may be used as an alternative to leaves.

Article in English: Using a light circular motion, wash the scabs on your face with clean, warm water and a gentle cleanser. Then, rinse your face off thoroughly with warm water. Washing your face can boost your skin’s moisture and promote healing. It can also clear away bacteria and dirt that may cause infections.  Avoid using astringent cleanser or facial scrubs. These can irritate your scabs and surrounding skin and slow down the healing process.  Avoid washing any skin that is turning white, which means it’s oversaturated. This can cause skin tissue to break, lead to infection, and increase healing time. Use a soft, clean towel to gently pat your face dry, using an even lighter touch on your scabs. Gently touch your face with a clean hand to ensure your skin is dry and the scabs slightly damp. Taking care when drying your face and leaving your scabs slightly damp can prevent them from ripping off and promote healing. Place a sterile non-stick gauze dressing or non-adhesive bandage over the scab. Keeping your scabs covered helps them retain moisture, which helps them heal. A bandage can also minimize the risk of your scabs getting infected. Change the dressings daily or if they are dirty, wet, or damaged.

Article in English: Using a quotation that is very famous in the same way that everyone uses that quotation will bore your reader. It could also make you seem lazy or as though you haven't considered your audience. Finding a quote that is surprising in some way.  Consider one of the following approaches:  Quote a person saying something that someone would not expect them to say. Quote someone who is not universally famous. Use a well-known quote but contradict it. Knowing the context in which the quotation was originally used is important to using it accurately.  It will also help you determine whether the quote is an appropriate means of introducing your essay. The effectiveness of the quotation you use will be determined by the audience of your paper.  Determine whether the audience will be familiar with the person who you are quoting.  If it is someone obscure or you think they will not be familiar, consider providing additional (brief) details. Do not use a quote that could be offensive to the audience unless you plan to contradict the quotation. Strike a balance between assuming your audience knows everything and assuming they know nothing.  You should be clear and informative but not insulting to the intelligence of your reader. Think of a quotation as a “hook” that will engage your reader and make her want to read more of your paper.  The well-executed quotation is one way to draw your reader in to your essay. A snappy quotation that doesn't help to set up your topic, or that is unrelated to the rest of your essay, will distract from the essay's focus.

Article in English: Using a tape measure, find the distance between your vent hood’s cap extension and the dryer’s exhaust vent. Write down the measurement to use later. Set your vent hose on a smooth surface and extend it if necessary. Then, use a tape measure to find an amount of hose equal to your previous measurement. Mark the area with a small amount of tape. Using a pair of tin or aviation snips, cut through the marked area until you’ve divided your hose into 2 pieces. For safety, make sure to wear thick working gloves while cutting. Slip one end of your hose over the dryer’s exhaust port. Hold it in place using a dryer tube clamp or a piece of foil tape. Then, slip the other end over the vent hood’s cap extension and secure it with a tube clamp or foil tape.  To use foil tape, simply wrap the tape around the connecting seams. To use a tube clamp, unscrew the clamp to loosen it. Slip it onto the hose, line it up over the connecting seam, then tighten it back up. Make sure the dryer vent hose is free of kinks and bends. Then, fix it to the wall using screws and pipe straps. For every 6 to 8 in (15 to 20 cm) of hose, use 1 pipe strap.

Article in English: Using a warm compress is the easiest way to provide relief for ear pain caused by an ear infection. To use a warm compress, get a clean cotton washcloth and hold it under warm running water until it is wet. Then, wring out the excess water and place the warm, moist cloth over the affected ear. Hold it there until the washcloth loses its warmth. You can use a warm compress as often as you like. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen will provide some relief for ear pain as well. Make sure that you read and follow the package instructions for any over-the-counter pain reliever that you use. Check with your doctor if you are unsure about the dosage or if you have questions about which over-the-counter pain reliever you should take. Do not give aspirin to anyone under the age of 20 since it has been associated with an increased risk of Reye’s syndrome. Your doctor may be able to prescribe ear drops to help with pain cause by a severe ear infection. Ear drops may not be advised for those with ear tubes. Do not use ear drops without checking with your doctor first.

Article in English: Using an aspirator with saline drops or spray has been shown to be more effective than saline solution or an aspirator alone. The saline drops or spray thins and loosens the mucus in the nose, which the aspirator can then more easily suck out. All types of aspirators work, so choose the one that you feel most comfortable using and feel offers the best results.  Bulb aspirators, which are shaped like turnips, are frequently given to parents of newborns at the hospital and have been shown to be effective in improving breathing.  The NoseFrida (Snotsucker) and BabyComfyNose both have filtered tubes through which the parent can suck snot from their baby's nose. Though studies of these devices are limited, they do create greater suction than a bulb aspirator and appear to be at least equally effective at reducing congestion. Using the method elsewhere in this article, apply saline drops or spray to your baby's nostrils. This will soften and loosen the mucus. You can hold your baby in your lap or put your baby down on a flat surface, facing up. Choose whichever position seems most comfortable. The method will depend on the type of aspirator.  Bulb Aspirator – Squeeze the bulb, then insert the tip about ¼ inch into the baby's nostril, angling the tip to the side. Release the bulb to suck the mucus out of the nose and into the aspirator. Remove it from your baby's nose and empty the contents onto a tissue by squeezing the bulb repeatedly. Repeat on the other nostril.  NoseFrida or BabyComfy – Insert the tip of the device into the baby's nostril and suck on the suction tube with steady pressure to remove snot. If using a BabyComfyNose, consider putting a tissue in the snot collection chamber to insure you do not suck up any snot. Remove the device from your baby's and blow the contents onto a tissue. Repeat on the other nostril. Use saline drops or spray before each use if the mucus is very thick. Whether using a bulb aspirator, NoseFrida, or BabyComfy, be sure to clean it with hot, soapy water after use.  Bulb...

Article in English: Using big words when simpler ones will express the same meaning may alienate your audience. Likewise, long, complex sentences can be confusing and muddle your point. Stick to simple language for the bulk of your speech. Only use complex words or phrases if there is no other way to express the ideas.  For example, instead of saying, “Achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight is the pinnacle of human existence because it enables you to accomplish physical feats that boost your confidence and give you a sense of accomplishment,” say, “A healthy body weight allows you to do more physically, and this may make you happier overall.” Keep in mind that it is also important to vary your sentence structure. You can include a longer sentence once or twice per page to add variety to your speech. Just avoid using lots of long sentences in your speech. It’s okay to use the occasional pronoun, especially if doing so will help you to avoid repeating yourself multiple times. However, using too many pronouns can make it hard for your audience to follow your argument and keep track of what you are talking about. Opt for proper nouns (names of places, people, and things) whenever possible and avoid overusing pronouns. Some common pronouns include:  it he her they we that those Repetition is a powerful element of speech writing. While too much repetition in any piece of writing can be distracting, repeating a word or phrase a few times during your speech can help to crystallize your argument and keep your audience engaged.  For example, if you are giving a speech for a group of sales associates who are trying to increase sales of a new product called “Synergy,” then you might repeat a simple phrase to that effect, such as “Tell your customers about Synergy,” or you could simply say, “Synergy” a few times during your speech to remind your audience of this product. If you are writing a motivational speech about how running can help people to overcome emotional hurdles, then you might repeat a phrase in your speech to emphasize...

Article in English: Using heat to brew your hard cider is the safest, most common method.  If starting with unpasteurized juice from an unknown source or juice from imperfect apples, the heat method is the safest one to use. Heat does reduce the aroma of the cider, however. The heat is also more likely to lead to a cloudy cider. Place the saucepan of cider on the stove and heat over medium.  Do not allow the juice to boil. The high temperatures required for boiling to occur will cause the pectins in the apple juice or apple cider to set. As a result, you will end up with a cloudier cider. Monitor the heat of the juice using a food-grade thermometer that clips onto the side of your saucepan. Make sure that the thermometer take the temperature of the liquid, not the temperature of the side or bottom of the pan. Once the juice or cider reaches this temperature, cover the saucepan with a lid and let sit for 10 minutes. Peek at the juice through the lid frequently to make sure that it has not begun to boil. Fill a large tub or container with cold water and ice. Place the covered saucepan in the ice water to quickly bring down the temperature. Your juice is ready for the next part of the process once it reaches 70 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius).

Article in English: Using only the corner will allow you to get your unibrow wet without dripping on your whole face. Another option is to pluck your unibrow directly after getting out of the shower. The warm water and steam of the shower will have opened up your pores a great deal. Hold it there until the washcloth cools. Repeat this procedure two to three times. The hot water will open your pores and make tweezing your unibrow easier and less painful. If you have a magnifying mirror, use this. A magnifying mirror will help you see each hair that you want to remove, but it is not absolutely necessary; a standard mirror will suffice as long as you can get close to it. Work outwards towards the part of your eyebrows that you wish to keep. If there are particularly difficult hairs to pluck, use your other hand to pull your skin and make it taut. Be careful not to pluck too much of your eyebrow. Continuously step back to see your results and determine how far you want to pluck.  To figure out where your eyebrow should begin, hold a pair of tweezers vertically so that the tweezers are touching the widest part of your nose (nostril) at one end and the other end is going straight towards your eyebrow. The place where the tweezer touches your eyebrow is where your eyebrow should begin. To find where your arch should be, rest the tweezer horizontally against the bridge of your nose, and then tilt the tweezer at a 45 degree angle. The place where the tweezer points to is where your arch should be. To find the end point of your eyebrows, hold a pair of tweezers at a 45 degree angle from where your top and bottom waterlines meet at the inner part of your eyes. Start from the bottom of your existing eyebrow and work your way upwards. Again, continuously step back and look in the mirror, checking to make sure that you are not plucking too much of your eyebrow. Try to create an arch in your brow.

Summary in French:


Article in English: Using the expression format ax2 + bx + c = 0, identify the a and c terms and list out what factors they have. For 3x2 + 2x - 8, that means:a = 3 and has one set of factors: 1 * 3 c = -8 and has four sets of factors: -2 * 4, -4 * 2, -8 * 1, and -1 * 8. You'll be filling in the constants for each expression into the space you've made:(  x    )(  x    ) For the a term in our example, 3x2, there is only one possibility for our example: (3x   )(1x   ) Let's say we chose 8 and 1. Write it in:(3x  8)(x  1) Depending on the signs in the original expression, it's possible to figure out what the signs for the constants should be. Let's call the two constants for our two factors h and k:If ax2 + bx + c then (x + h)(x + k) If ax2 - bx - c or ax2 + bx - c then (x - h)(x + k) If ax2 - bx + c then (x - h)(x - k) For our example, 3x2 + 2x - 8, the signs must be:(x - h)(x + k), giving us the two factors:(3x + 8) and (x - 1) A quick first test to run is to see if the middle term is at least the correct value. If it is not, you may have chosen the wrong c factors. Let's test our answer:(3x + 8)(x - 1) By multiplication, we arrive at:3x2 - 3x + 8x - 8 Simplifying this expression by adding the like terms (-3x) and (8x), we get:3x2 - 3x + 8x - 8 = 3x2 + 5x - 8 We know now that we must have identified the wrong factors:3x2 + 5x - 8 ≠ 3x2 + 2x - 8 In our example, let's try 2 and 4 instead of 1 and 8:(3x + 2)(x - 4) Now our c term is a -8, but our outside/inside product (3x * -4) and (2 * x) is -12x and 2x, which will not combine to make the correct b term of +2x.-12x + 2x = 10x 10x ≠ 2x Let's try moving the 2 and 4 around:(3x + 4)(x - 2) Now, our c term (4 * 2 = 8) is still okay, but the outside/inside products are -6x and 4x. If we combine them:-6x + 4x = 2x 2x ≠ -2x We're pretty close to the 2x we were aiming for, but it's the wrong sign. We're going to stick with the same order, but swap which one has the minus:(3x - 4)(x + 2) Now the c term is still okay, and the outside/inside products are now (6x) and (-4x). Since:6x - 4x = 2x...

Article in English: Using the spray bottle, spray some milk evenly throughout your hair. If you'd like, you can use a brush to brush it through your hair, but you may need to spray some more. Try to use a clean brush and make sure to clean and remove any hairs after every use. Milk-hair in your brush will go bad quickly and easily develop bacteria that could get you sick. Allow your hair to absorb the milk for the best results. You should apply the milk product with plenty of time before your shower. For thicker and longer hair, you may want to wait longer than 30 minutes. Try not to let your hair sit for too long without washing. You don't want any accidental stickiness to develop in your hair. It's time to wash all that milk out of your hair. Prepare a shower as normal, with your towel ready for when you get out. Hot showers may be comfortable, but they could cause damage to the hair you're trying to strengthen and repair. Taking cold showers refines hair and skin, and if you're trying to use all-natural ingredients for your healthy hair, it can be a great addition to your hair care. Although it may seem scary to wash out the natural ingredients that you're using to strengthen and shine your hair, the truth is you have to wash out the milk and any the ingredients you may have used. The treatment set in your hair while you waited 30 minutes before showering, so if you don't wash it, you'll just end up with sticky, smelly hair. You can use other natural ingredients in lieu of shampoo. A beaten egg can be applied from your scalp through the length of your hair, and leave it in for a few minutes while you take the rest of your shower. Even if you style your hair while it's wet, you'll need to pat-dry the significant wetness in your hair. Make sure there are no droplets coming from the ends of your hair before you style or blow dry it. Blow-drying, straightening and curling your hair causes heat damage to your locks. Milk and honey can help repair this damage, but it still might not be a great idea to use these hair styling...

Article in English: Using this method, you simply have to choose a small number, such as 2, 3, 4, 5, or 7, to get started. Look at the fractions to make sure that each one is divisible by the number you choose at least once.  For example, if you're looking at the fraction 24/108, don't pick the number 5, because it won't go into either number. However, if you're looking at the fraction 25/60, 5 will be a great number to use. For the fraction 24/32, the number 2 works well. Since both numbers are even, they will be divisible by 2. The new fraction will be comprised of the new numerator and denominator you get after dividing the top and bottom of the fraction 24/32 by 2. Here's how to do it:  24/2 = 12 32/2 = 16 Your new fraction is 12/16. Continue this process. Since both numbers are still even, you can keep dividing them by 2. If just one or both of your new numerators and denominators are odd, then you can try to divide them by a new number. Here's how the process will work if you're sticking with the fraction 12/16:  12/2 = 6 16/2 = 8 Your new fraction is 6/8. Both the new numerator and the new denominator are still even, so you can keep dividing them by 2. Here's how to do it:  6/2 = 3 8/2 = 4 Your new fraction is 3/4. . In the fraction 3/4, 3 is a prime number, so its only factors are 1 and itself, and 4 is not divisible by three, so the fraction has been simplified as much as possible. If the numerator or denominator of the fraction can no longer be divisible by the number you've chosen, you may still be able to divide it by using a new number. For example, if you have the fraction 10/40, and are dividing the numerator and denominator by 5, you will be left with 2/8. You cannot keep dividing the numerator and denominator by 5, but you can divide both by 2 to get the final answer of 1/4. Work backwards to multiply 3/4 by 2/2 three times, to make sure that you get the original answer of 24/32. Here's how you do it:  3/4 * 2/2 = 6/8 6/8 * 2/2 = 12/16 12/16 * 2/2 = 24/32. Note that you've divided 24/32 by 2 * 2 * 2, which is...

Article in English: Using this treatment should loosen the perm to make it more manageable to re style, but you may need to repeat the treatment for a few weeks to really see results if your perm is acting stubborn and will not relax after one treatment.  Gather together your materials, including a bottle of canola oil, a roll of plastic wrap, a towel, a gentle shampoo, a deep conditioner, a blow dryer with a diffuser, and styling shears. Place your head over a garbage can, a sink or a tub, and apply enough canola oil to thoroughly soak your hair from root to tip. Wrap your head with the plastic wrap or with a plastic bag. Then, wrap the plastic with a towel so it will retain head and prevent any oil from dripping off your hair. Leave the oil in your hair for 1-2 hours. Then, rinse your hair completely in the shower. Use the gentle shampoo to loosen the oil from your hair. Make sure you also lather your hair with conditioner and let it sit for at least 2 minutes, then rinse and repeat until all the oil is gone. Follow this regime for at least a week. Coconut oil is one of the only oils that will penetrate the hair shaft, as opposed to just coat it. So it will effectively moisturize, condition, and repair damaged hair from the inside out.  Melt 1 cup of organic virgin coconut oil. You can use a microwave (but be sure to put the coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl) or you are melt the oil on a stovetop by placing the oil in a jar and then in a pot filled halfway with water. Heat the pot on the stovetop until the oil melts in the jar. Add ½ teaspoon of essential oils that are good for dry, damaged hair, like Bay, Cedarwood, Chamomile, Clary Sage, Eucalyptus, Frankincense, Lavender, Lemon, Myrrh, Rose, Sage, Sandalwood, and Tea Tree. Use your fingers to melt several tablespoons of the infused coconut oil and then apply it to your dry hair. Comb it through. Wrap your head in a towel or a shower cap. Leave the oil in for at least 1-2 hours. Wash the oil out with shampoo and conditioner. Many bad perms are the result of improper...

Article in English: Using warm water and Epsom salts, give your affected toenail a good soak for 15 minutes. This will help soften the nail, making it easier for you to pull it away from the skin. Gently pull away the skin alongside your toenail. This will help separate the skin from the nail so that you can see the edge of the nail. Use a piece of floss or a pointed file to lift the edge of the toenail away from the skin. You might need to start with the side of the toenail that is not ingrown. Work the floss or file toward the ingrown edge. Make sure to disinfect the file with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide before you use it. While you have the nail lifted away from the skin, pour a small amount of clean water, rubbing alcohol, or other disinfectant underneath the nail. This will prevent bacteria from collecting there. Take a small amount of clean gauze and stuff it underneath the lifted nail. The point here is to keep the nail edge from touching the skin. Then it can grow away from the skin, rather than becoming more ingrown. Once you have gauze in place, dab the area with an antibiotic cream. You can choose an ointment with lidocaine, which will slightly numb the area. Wrap a strip of gauze around your toe. Or, you can use a bandage or a toe sock, which is a single toe covering designed to keep one toe separate from the others. Use this process to help heal an ingrown toenail. As the toe heals, the pain from the ingrown toenail will subside, and the swelling will go down. Be sure to change the gauze daily to ensure that bacteria is not introduced into the toenail area.

Article in English: Using your regular shampoo and conditioner regimen, wash your hair as you normally would. Rinse your hair clean of shampoo and conditioner. Make sure all chemicals and products are rinsed thoroughly out of your hair. Comb through your hair first and then gently squeeze your hair using a clean t-shirt or microfiber towel. Do not dry it too much, or else you may not be able to determine the porosity, or how well your hair retains moisture, very well. Take chunks of hair in your hands and feel them from the roots down to the ends. Gently squeeze your hair to feel the moisture.   Low porosity: If your hair feels almost dry, your hair has not retained much moisture and you have low porosity.   Medium porosity: If your hair is pretty wet but not sticky, then your hair retains a medium amount of moisture and you have medium porosity.  High porosity: If your hair feels sticky, as though the water will take a long time to leave your hair, then you have high porosity. Your hair retains a lot of moisture. Pull out a strand of hair and float it in a large bowl of water. The bowl needs to be large enough so that the hair strand will not touch the sides. Observe what happens with the strand of hair.  Low porosity: If the strand floats and does not sink at all, you have low porosity.  Medium porosity: A strand that sinks after a while will indicate medium porosity.  High porosity: If the strand sinks to the bottom of the bowl quickly, you have high porosity.

Article in English: Vacuuming is a good first step for clearing your floors. Since parquet floors are patterned by different sizes of wood, vacuuming can reach the dirt between the cracks. The vacuum also loosens the dirt to be scrubbed more thoroughly later. You can use a normal brush, but you can also use a dust specific dry mop. Certain dry mops even have special tissues especially for wood floors or parquet floors. Sweeping is important to get all the bits of dirt that the vacuum missed. Clean the parquet floor with a damp mop if your parquet floor is sealed. The trick is to use as little water as possible on the floor. Start in one corner of the room and mop in an eight symbol to remove excessive dirt and sand. Wring the mop thoroughly out, and mop the floor again to remove the excess water until the floor is dry. It is best to do the aforementioned steps once every two weeks, if not more frequently. By doing these steps on a regular basis, you won’t be required to do a deep cleaning as often. You also will prevent the buildup of crud between the panels of wood.

Article in English: Validation starts with basic listening. It's important to give brief verbal responses to show someone you hear them. Say things like, "Okay", "Uh-huh", and "I see" while the person is talking so they feel heard. Look at them, and turn your head or entire body towards them while they speak. You may want to stop whatever else you are doing. Show that you are attentive and present.   If you are doing something else while you listen (e.g. folding laundry or cooking), then look periodically at the person and use other cues to show you're paying attention. Making eye contact is a great way to do this. If your body language is affected by a disability, you can still show that you are listening. Try accommodating your needs (e.g. fidgeting with one hand while looking at their chin) or explaining outright that your body language is different, but you are still listening. The most basic form of validation is to stay with them, even when their feelings are difficult or unpleasant. Put aside your own discomfort, and focus entirely on being there for them. Here are some ways to show you are listening:   Holding their hand Looking directly at them Sitting with them or rubbing their back Saying "I'm here" If someone is excited, let yourself get happy or excited too. If they're sad, be sympathetic. If they're nervous, be comforting and understanding. Mirroring their energy level, and responding to their mood, helps them feel understood.  For example, if your best friend is very excited about his first date with someone new, he might appreciate you getting excited with him or showing happiness. On the other hand, if he's tentative about it, then you getting too excited might make him feel smothered. It's important to get a good read on how energetic or enthusiastic a person is. When a person finishes expressing themselves, ask questions to clarify. This allows someone to elaborate on their feelings and thoughts in a fashion so they feel completely heard. For example, say something like, "So, how did that make you feel?" or...

Article in English: Vanilla orchids will get scorched if you place them in direct sunlight. To prevent this, choose an area of the greenhouse with bright, but indirect, sunlight. A location with dappled, but not deep, shade that gets at least 6 hours of sun per day is ideal. Vanilla orchids are a climbing vine, so they’ll need a trellis to support them. Alternatively, you could position the pot near a stake or a tree so the vines can climb that. The vanilla orchid must be trained to grow vertically, so you’ll need to gently secure the plant to the the trellis, stake, or tree using plant ties or clips. You can purchase ties or clips online or at a gardening store. Wait until the top 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) of potting medium has dried before watering the orchid again. After watering, the soil should be moist but not soggy. Alternatively, you could mist the orchid daily with distilled water from a spray bottle. Lightly spray the soil, stem, and leaves of the plant. ” To ensure your orchid will bloom and develop vanilla beans, you should fertilize it regularly. Fertilizing “weakly, weekly” means adding a diluted amount of fertilizer (about half as strong as the package directs) once every 7 days. When the plant is actively growing, use a high-nitrogen (30-10-10) liquid fertilizer. When the orchid is not in active growth, use a 10-10-10 fertilizer. As the orchid grows, air roots (which are roots that grow above the soil) will attach upward to the support and others will reach down to the soil. It will take between 2-7 years for the plant to grow large enough to bloom, as it must reach 20–40 feet (6.1–12.2 m) in length. Don’t despair, though, the time and effort is worth it! During this time, water and fertilize the vanilla orchid as before.

Summary in French:

Placez le pot dans un endroit ensoleillé. Installez un treillis pour faciliter la croissance du plant. Laissez le terreau sécher entre les arrosages. Appliquez hebdomadairement un peu d’engrais liquide. Attendez de 2 à 7 ans pour que le vanillier arrive à maturité.


Article in English: Vegetarians do not eat meat, poultry, or seafood. Some vegetarians don’t eat dairy, so make sure to get the details from them if you’re feeding a vegetarian. Vegans don’t eat meat, poultry, or seafood, or any other animal products (including milk and eggs).  Since their diets are somewhat restricted, vegans and vegetarians need a lot of variety in their food choices in order to meet their nutrition needs. Some food options that are popular among vegetarians and vegans are kale, grains, nuts, legumes, and beans. Some people have negative, sometimes even life-threatening, reactions to specific kinds of foods, so make sure to ask about them. The Mayo Clinic names eggs, milk, peanuts, shellfish, tree nuts, soy and fish as some of the most common food allergens. Wheat is another big one. Common food intolerances are lactose (which is in milk products), MSG and gluten (which is in bread, pasta, and many wheat products). People with heart disease, high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure need to avoid certain foods to maintain good health. Some of the major foods they should avoid are processed meats, highly refined and processed carbohydrates, and sodas and other types of sugary drinks. Diabetics also need to avoid certain foods to maintain proper insulin levels, so be sure to ask about this one, too. Some people don’t eat certain foods because of their religion. There are many different types of religions with food restrictions, and the restrictions themselves vary from religion to religion. Some religions have food restrictions only at certain times of the year, so be sure to ask about the details.

Article in English: Velocity describes the rate at which an object changes position. This has to do with how fast the object is traveling, but also in which direction. "100 meters per second south" is a different velocity than "100 meters per second east."  Quantities that include a direction are called vector quantities'. They can be distinguished from directionless or scalar quantities by writing an arrow over the variable. For example, v represents speed, while v→ represents velocity, or speed + direction. If a v is used in this article, it refers to velocity. For scientific problems, you should use meters or another metric unit of distance, but for everyday life you can use whichever unit you're comfortable with. The displacement is the object's change in position, or the distance and direction between its starting point and end point. It doesn't matter where the object moved in before reaching its final position; only the distance between the start point and end point matters. For our first example, we'll use an object moving at a constant speed in one direction:  Let's say a rocket traveled north for 5 minutes at a constant rate of 120 meters per minute. To calculate its final position, use the formula s = vt, or use common sense to realize the rocket must be at (5 minutes)(120 meters/minute) = 600 meters north of its starting point. For problems involving constant acceleration, you could solve for s = vt + ½at2, or refer to the other section for a shorter method of finding the answer. In our example problem, the rocket moved forward for 5 minutes. You can express average velocity in any units of time, but seconds are the international scientific standard. We'll convert to seconds in this example: (5 minutes) x (60 seconds/minute) = 300 seconds. Even in a scientific problem, if the problem uses units of hours or longer periods of time, it may be easier to calculate the velocity, then convert the final answer to meters/second. If you know how far the object traveled, and how long it took to get there, you know how fast it...

Article in English: Verbal abuse is difficult to identify. This type of abuse can happen in all types of families, whether you are rich or poor and regardless of race or location. Below are some common signs of verbal abuse; if you can answer yes to any of these, you may need to contact professionals for help:  Do your parents use threats to make you do something or to keep you from doing something? Do your parents curse at you, call you names, humiliate you in public, or degrade you? When you share your thoughts and feelings about something important with your parents, do your parents ignore you or make fun of you? Are you afraid of your parents? If your parent or parents are verbally abusing, it is likely to have negative consequences in your life. Severe verbal abuse can even lead to the same kind of post-traumatic stress disorder experienced by combat troops. If you exhibit any negative consequences of verbal abuse, you may need to contact professionals for help. Some of the most common consequences of verbal abuse are:  Issues with being insecure and poor self esteem Withdrawing socially Being overly demanding or overly compliant with others Depression Conflict is a normal part of any relationship, but verbal abuse is not. If an argument always feels one-sided, if there are threats involved, and if your parents humiliate or demean you, a fight qualifies as verbal abuse. Some examples of verbally abusive statements are:  “Hey, fatso, come over here!” This counts as humiliation. “If you didn't make me mad, I wouldn't have to treat you like this.” “Don't you dare do that or I'll punch you!” Threats are always abuse. Because verbal abuse often escalates into physical attacks and can have severe consequences, it is necessary to report any verbal abuse that is happening in your life.  If you think the definition and consequences of verbal abuse accurately describe the issues you are struggling with, 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) will connect you to the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline.  A professional will help you...

Article in English: Very few people grew up the son or daughter of a great doctor and spent their formative years in Africa curing blind tigers. If your life seems boring on paper, consider that "challenge extended." You are not any more boring than the next 100 people you meet on the street; you're just not looking in the right places. However daunting this may seem, don't lie. Your readers deserve better. And so do you, quite frankly.  When we recall things, we often recall how we felt when we recalled the memory than how we felt when the memory actually went down. Make sense? So don't necessarily trust your memory -- ask others about the outplay of events. You'll want as unbiased a view as possible -- after all, you have the power of the pen; don't abuse it. It is always satisfying to read a writer who sharply and deftly attacks the hypocrisies and delusions of the world around him, but we trust that writer more completely when he also attacks himself, when he does not hold himself to a different standard, or protect himself from scrutiny. Be honest about the outplay of events, but also take an honest look at yourself. If the reader senses the writer is lying even to himself, or using the essay as a piece of propaganda, a forwarding of his own personal mythology in too clumsy or transparent a way, she will react against it. As long as it feels honest, you're good to go. That is, have a straight up, no fuss, no muss, beginning and end before you start writing your story. If your twin sister stole your Judy Jetson thermos on March 14th, 1989 and you finally visited her children in September of 2010, there it is. There's your story. Now you just have to fill in the gaps. Remember: The story is all yours. Whatever happened can be as insane or as mundane as you see fit; if you write it compellingly, your readers will care (in a good way) either way. After all, a memoir is based on truth. Dates, times, names, people, sequences of events, even the tiniest of details are important. The last thing you want is for something to come to...

Article in English: Very light mold and musty smells can often be eliminated by airing your furniture out in sunlight. Position the furniture outside in the early morning, after the dew has evaporated (if there is any). Bring the furniture back inside at sunset. Repeat this for another day or two if necessary.  Even when dealing with light mold, be sure you wear gloves, an air mask, and googles. Light mold still produces harmful spores. Mold thrives on moisture. If your home climate is humid, place your furniture in a small room with a dehumidifier for similar results to a sunlight cleaning. To improve the mold fighting power of the sunlight, mix equal parts water and white vinegar and lightly spray the furniture in the morning when placing it outside. Light mold, or mold that resisted a sunlight cleaning, can be handled with a spray bottle and cheap vodka. Add the vodka to the spray bottle and mist the whole piece of furniture. Allow it to air dry in direct sunlight for best results. Wood that is painted or stained isn't likely to have been penetrated below the surface by the mold. In these cases, mild cleaners should work. Mold that withstood sunlight and vodka can often be removed with a mild household detergent. Mix dish soap in a bucket of warm water and gently scrub moldy areas with a soft bristle brush with a circular motion.  When finished cleaning, wipe the surface of your furniture with a damp towel. If no mold remains, wipe the wood once more with a dry rag. If mold remains, repeat this process. Before doing this, you should try brushing an out of sight area on the furniture with the solution first. Some brushes may damage certain finishes. Distilled white vinegar is an excellent mold killing agent. Should dish soap be too weak to remove the mold, add vinegar to a spray bottle. Spray the furniture thoroughly with the vinegar. Wait about an hour, then wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Reapply the vinegar again in this fashion if necessary. Wipe the wood thoroughly with a dry rag when the mold is removed.

Article in English: Very pale skin was in vogue in France during the 1700s and 1800s, so aristocratic women would lighten their skin using cosmetics. We can learn from their mistakes; they typically applied paint made from lead! Instead, try these safe alternatives:  Rather than matching your makeup to your face, select a shade of foundation one shade lighter than your actual skin color. Remember to also use concealer and setting powder one shade lighter than your skin. Blend the makeup into the skin at your jawbone and neck so that it fades gradually rather than leaving an obvious line that divides the pale skin on your face from the darker skin on your neck (or better yet, wear a turtleneck or scarf). You can try out a version of this tactic without spending a ton of money on new cosmetics by simply purchasing a finishing powder in a lighter shade. Apply it over your normal foundation and concealer, and if you like the effect, consider buying lighter foundation and concealer as well. Most major cosmetics brands are jumping on the trend, which is also known as highlighting or strobing depending on the technique. You can adapt this trend to create the illusion of fairer skin temporarily. Contouring using makeup involves carefully placing lines of darker color on areas that are meant to recede, like under your cheekbones and along the sides of your nose, while placing lighter streaks of color along areas that are meant to stick out a bit and catch the light, like the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, or forehead. Then, the colors are carefully blended so that you can't tell that you've put color in either place, but it gives a very nice visual effect of well-defined facial features.  Learn about contouring techniques from this helpful wikiHow article, but when you go shopping for products, purchase products in shades slightly lighter than you would normally buy. Apply the products using the contouring technique, but at each step, go one to two shades lighter than you would normally go. For instance, when you begin, apply foundation...

Article in English: Very small holes are usually caused by nails or screws and can be repaired easily and quickly with spackle.  There are a variety of spackling pastes for sale. It's usually a good idea to get a lightweight spackling paste that uses the new primer technology, so that a crack does not develop at the seam between the wall and the patch. Small cracks between molding and trim can be filled with spackling paste but it is probably easier to use paintable caulk, which is available at any home improvement store. Simply run a bead of caulk along for crack and smooth with a wet finger. Do not put a lot of spackling paste on your knife. While it depends on the size of the hole, you will usually only need a small bit approximately the size of a pea. The goal is to make the transition between the wall and the patch as seamless as possible. Using a damp cloth, wipe off any excess spackling paste that may have gotten on the wall around the hole. If you mess up the smoothness of the patch, feel free to start over with a bit more spackling paste on your putty knife. Sometimes a hole is so small and your wall color is light enough that retouching the paint is not necessary.

Article in English: Video game piracy isn't usually prosecuted as viciously as music or film piracy, but that's no guarantee you won't get into trouble. Your risk is fairly low, but the only way to avoid legal trouble for sure is to buy PSP games on the up and up. When you pirate them instead, you're taking a chance. In the case of smaller releases, you're probably also hurting the bottom line of the game's developer and/or publisher. Think twice before pirating unusual or original games if you wish developers would release more of them. There are two basic ways to find PSP game files and download them to your computer.  Torrent game files. You can learn  how to torrent elsewhere on this site, but in brief, you'll need a program for running torrents, a torrent file of the game you want, and some time to let the program collect a copy of the game from other users. You shouldn't have to pay for the torrent or the program. Use torrent aggregators to search many libraries of torrent files at once. Select the files that have the most positive reviews attached to them, to ensure that you aren't actually downloading something you don't want.  Download games directly. There are a number of websites on the World Wide Web that offer PSP game downloads for free. Keep clicking through until you find a link to a download (typically offsite at a file hosting service such as uploaded.net or mega.co.nz), and click through to activate it. Generally speaking, the proper file extension for PSP game files is .iso. Make sure that the file you download either is an ISO file, or contains one (in the case of ZIP and RAR archive files). Never run or download any files with the EXE extension. Enter USB mode (as described above) and connect the PSP to your computer. Copy game files from your computer to the PSP memory stick folder to load them onto the system. Play your new game by going to the "Game" menu and selecting the game that you want to play from your memory card.

Article in English: Videos games are a great way to pass time, especially on rainy days. Ask your friends to bring along their games and then pick together which one you feel like playing. If a lot of guys are coming over, set up multiple TV’s or computers in the same room and see who can get to the highest level or set the top score. Pick a favourite movie or TV show and put it on the TV. This is a great way to relax together and bond over the same show. If you can’t agree on what to watch, try watching something that nobody has seen before.  Watch movies or TV shows that you used to love when you were a little kid. This is a great way to reminisce your childhood and have a laugh at all of the things you used to think were scary or funny. Make some popcorn, order some pizza, and have sodas while you and your friends relax. If there’s a famous catchphrase in one of the movies or shows, you can all find something to do every time you hear it, like doing a push up. Board games never get old, no matter how old you are. If you feel like having a night in with your friends, bring out the Monopoly, Risk, Jenga, Settlers of Catan, or your personal favourite. This is a great way to have some good-hearted competition and banter with the boys. If you want to make the games more competitive, make a prize for the winner. Snacks, like lollies or chips, are great prizes that will amp up the competition between the lads. If you and your friends like poker or want to learn how to play, then invite the lads around for a poker night. Sit around a table and let the competition begin. If you want to raise the stakes, ask everyone to chip in $5 for the winner. Put on your favourite boys night soundtrack in the background to help set the mood. If you don’t know what to play, search online for a boys night playlist. Invite the boys over to watch the game with you.

Article in English: Vinegar is an acidic product that neutralizes the alkalinity of the urine. Either white vinegar or cider vinegar will work on colored clothing. Use only white vinegar on white garments to avoid staining. Throw the garment in the washing machine. Coat it with the vinegar solution. It's safe to add the rest of the laundry to the cycle, if you like. Just avoid a full load so that the soiled garment can get as clean as possible. Use a cool or cold setting. Warm or hot water could set in the urine odor. One cup (236.6 g) will do the trick. Thoroughly cover the affected garment before you start the wash. Baking soda will work with the vinegar to neutralize and absorb the urine odor. This process could take three hours if you're air drying outside. In an indoor setting, it could take 24 to 36 hours. When the garment is completely dry, do a sniff test to check if the urine odor is gone. If it is, you can wear it as you normally would. If not, re-wash it with an enzymatic detergent. Never use a clothes dryer. The heat could lock in the urine stain and odor for good and ruin your garment.
