Article in English: Let the oil warm up over medium heat as you prepare the fish. Pan-frying is a popular way to cook lake trout. Other common cooking methods include smoking and grilling. Lake trout can be baked, as well, but that method is not quite as typical for lake trout. Mix these five ingredients in a shallow bowl or dish until thoroughly combined.  For a smokier taste, you could used bacon-flavored crackers instead of standard saltine crackers. For a less potent garlic taste, reduce the amount of garlic salt to 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml). Beat the eggs and milk in another shallow bowl with a whisk.  In order to serve as an effective egg wash, the eggs and milk must be combined well. The sides of the dish must be high enough to prevent the egg wash from dripping out. The bowl should have a wide mouth, though, so that it is easy enough for you to dunk the fish in it. Dunk each fish fillet into the egg mixture.  Hold the fillet over the bowl of egg wash for 30 seconds or so. Let the excess egg drip off. If the fillets feel slimy or sticky, rinse them in cold water and pat dry with clean paper towels before dunking them in the egg wash. After coating all sides of the lake trout in egg, roll the fish in the crumb mixture to coat all sides.  Each fillet must be rolled in the crumb mixture gently. Otherwise, it could break apart. Lightly shake each fillet over the bowl of crumbs once you coat it. The excess crumbs should fall off. Place the trout fillets in the hot oil and turn the heat up to medium-high. Fry until crispy and opaque on all sides.  Turn the fish once during the cooking process using a spatula. The fish must be flipped carefully in order to prevent it from flaking apart. Once done, the fish should flake apart easily with a fork. The flesh should also be easy to remove from the bones, if you started with fillets that still have bones in them. Remove the trout from the frying pan and transfer to a serving plate. If desired, serve with lemon slices, chives, and parsley.

Article in English: Let the other person talk about themselves too. People like to talk about themselves, and you might push the other person to lose interest in the conversation if you keep turning the focus back on you. For example, if the other person texts you that they had a bad day, instead of replying “Me too. I missed the bus, and I was super late for work.” you could text back “I’m sorry, that’s the worst. Do you want to talk about it? If it makes you feel better I had a bad day too.” If you bring up a topic over text and the other person doesn’t seem interested in discussing it, move on to something else. Trying to force the conversation to go in a certain direction may cause the other person to withdraw and stop responding. Not responding promptly could cause the conversation to fizzle out. You don’t need to reply immediately, but try to keep your response time under 15 minutes. If you’re caught up doing something and it takes you longer to respond, apologize and let the other person know so they don’t think you’re ignoring them.

Article in English: Let the shorter layers of your hair hang loose, creating a "short" look, while the bulk of your longer hair is pulled back and out of the way. From the front, it will look like you have a shorter cut. The ponytail can either be left as it is or rolled up and pinned against the back of your head.  Putting your hair in a bun is also a great way to disguise length. If all your hair is wrapped up, nobody will know how long it is.  You can also just tie long hair into a half-bun, leaving some strands hanging loose. Sweep the extra loose hair onto your shoulders and out of the way.  This usually looks best if you have a layered cut to begin with. Talk to your stylist about a layered cut if necessary. If you braid the hair tightly, it will appear shorter than if it was just hanging down your back. There are a variety of styles of braids such as the regular three-strand braid, fish braid and French braid. If you're going for a looser look but want it to still seem shorter, leave some pieces out in the front near your face. If you have protective braids, like micro braids, you can make your hair appear even shorter by styling these braids in ponytails, buns, and more. Place a headband around your head with the back of the band pushed down near the top of your neck. Starting just behind the ear, roll your hair under and tuck your hair into the band. Secure it with a few bobby pins. Keep tucking until you reach the other ear. Use hairspray to hold it in place. Try curling your hair with foam rollers, bobby pins, fabric, or whatever tools you want to use. Do it while the hair is wet and use conditioner, setting lotion, hair spray or any other hair products that set and hold curls. If you can, let your curls set in rollers overnight so your hair completely dries without the use of your hair dryer. If you want really short, bouncy curls, let your hair dry naturally. When you let your hair air dry, it dries at a slower rate and your finished hairstyle turns out with much more defined curls that have a tighter hold, which...

Article in English: Let them know they are loved. Spend time with them and ask about their feelings.  When children know they are cared for, they will realize their lives and actions have value, strive to meet your expectations, and lead more disciplined lives.  Ask your child to reflect on their recent successes or failures. Encourage them in their interests and hobbies. Express your belief that they can succeed if they try. Show gratitude that they are in your life. Tell them directly that you love them. Extra-curricular activities teach valuable skills and life lessons. Sports, dance, gymnastics, karate, music lessons, hiking or mountaineering clubs – all can instill discipline through repetitive practice, following rules and patterns, and adhering to a schedule. A variety of hobbies will inculcate a strong sense of discipline in your child. Try to understand your child’s point of view.  For instance, if they want to stay up late, admit that it would be fun to stay up later and watch another show, read another chapter, etc. Tell them that when you were a child, you wanted to stay up late at night as well. Draw comparisons to your life today, too.  For instance, you might share that you often have responsibilities at work that keep you from doing fun things, but which are necessary so that you can provide for your family. When children feel their perspective is understood and they have been listened to, they will be more willing to comply. Help your child see the consequences of doing what they want to do. If they express the desire to stay up later, remind them they have to wake up early tomorrow.  Ask how they think they would feel if they didn’t get a good night’s sleep and they will (hopefully) realize you are looking out for their best interests. Reading can help kids learn lessons which they can apply to their own lives. After reading about a disciplined, responsible character, engage your child in a dialogue about the reactions, thoughts, and feelings they had when reading the book. This helps them identify with the...

Article in English: Let your idea of excelling at life evolve as you do.  Shaping your life into an experience you feel is excellent may take some trial and error. You may think you want to achieve something, such as a high-powered career as an attorney who works 80 hours a week. But what happens when you decide you want to have a family? You might find that as your values change, your goals will change to reflect those values. For example, maybe you wanted to be a veterinarian. But once you investigated the schooling and medical skills required, you discovered that you don’t really want to work with animals in that way.  Using your journal, start to explore other careers that involve working with animals.  Maybe you want to make natural pet treats, work at a human society, be a dog trainer, or foster animals in your home.  Learning how to excel at life means getting to know yourself in a very authentic way and being flexible in achieving your goals. Don’t limit yourself in making changes that you feel will match your definition of excellence in life.  However, one of the biggest factors of success in living a fulfilling life is resilience. Maybe you want to plan a movie night for your family, but no one can agree on a movie, or family members make other plans. Basically, your goal for that day did not work out. Maybe your plan can be adjusted to asking people in your family what they would like to do to spend more time with you.  Maybe you need to organize individual time with everyone instead of planning group activities.  Don’t give up on your goals. Instead, reinvent, redesign, and always go back to the drawing board.  Be resilient and stay focused on your goal to spend more quality time with your family. Make a list of small things you can excel in every day. This will help you feel like you’re moving towards excellence.  Excelling at life comes down to appreciating yourself enough to know you deserve a fulfilling life.  Besides career, money, family, there is also YOU! Excelling at life could mean trying to laugh more,...

Article in English: Let's get this straight: you should not stop enjoying your life or doing the things you love to do because of fear that you're going to be raped and assaulted. If you love running with your iPod in, then fine, but be extra careful and look around your surroundings at all times, trying to run near where the people are. If you're walking in a dark parking garage or parking lot, then stay focused on where you need to go instead of playing around with your iPod or your iPhone. Attackers look for the weakest victims. If they see that you are highly vigilant and walking with purpose, they will be less likely to attack you than if you're texting and not looking where you're going, or rocking out to your new favorite song on your iPod. If you feel uneasy or unsure in any way, it is in your best interest to get away and get help. Use your instincts and be aware of your freeze instinct. If you're in a situation where you're alone and suddenly run into or see someone else who just makes you feel unsafe, then change action as quickly as possible. If you're really getting the sense that you're unsafe, then it's important to stay calm, move quickly, and to go to the place where you're the most likely to find other people. If you're walking down a dark street and have the feeling that the person behind you is following you, cross the street in a diagonal and see if he/she does the same. If so, then walk towards the middle of the street (but not so much that you can get hit by a car) so that you're more likely to be seen by an oncoming car that could help you and scare away the potential attacker. Sure, a lot of people will tell you that rapists go for people with long hair or ponytails because they are easier to grab onto. Does this mean you should rock the short-haired bob so people are less likely rape you? Of course not. (Unless you want short hair, of course.) Don't let a potential rapist deter you from looking how you want to look, and don't ever blame yourself for attracting the wrong kind of person. Okay, so many...

Article in English: Let's keep this as simple as possible. Getting rid of those saddlebags is not rocket science -- they're just excess fat stores that your body has unfortunately decided to hold onto in a rather inconvenient place. The first thing that needs to go? The junk food. It's full of empty calories, bad fats, and very few nutrients. So cut it out! Anything fried or packaged goes on the no-no list. And baked goods and sweets, too. If it's not a good source of protein, fiber, vitamins, good carbs or fats, it doesn't qualify. This means you'll be going fresh -- and doing some cooking! It's impossible to completely avoid these and it's illogical to say something is completely off-limits. So instead of thinking to yourself,  "I can't have these," think of it as a treat to have every once in a while. You should choose whole, complex carbs that contain plenty of fiber, such as brown rice, whole wheat products, quinoa, oats, and the ones in veggies. These will keep you fuller for longer. White or processed carbs on the other hand can be stored as fat if not used for energy right away. Avoid white rice, white bread, cookies, cakes, and pastries. Need some tips? Instead of bread, use eggplant slices or a lettuce wrap. When you go out to restaurants, say you don't need that basket of bread. Get brown rice instead of white, and substitute your spaghetti for whole wheat pasta, quinoa, chickpeas, or thinly sliced vegetables like peppers. You've probably heard that you should eat the rainbow and it's true. The more color you eat, the better. How do you do that? Fruits and veggies! They are nutrient dense -- packed with tons of vitamins and minerals and don't have a lot of calories. You could eat pounds and pounds of salad and be okay -- imagine eating pounds and pounds of fried chicken!  Green, leafy vegetables are especially good for you. Spinach, kale, lettuce, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and broccoli? Great choices. Carrots, onions, peppers, squash -- the more colorful veggies -- are good, too. Blueberries, oranges, bananas,...

Article in English: Let's say we're in a gambling mood but all we have to play with is one simple six-sided die. In this case, we'll just wager bets on what number the die will show after we roll it. Let's say we bet that we'll roll either a one or a two. In this case, there's two possibilities where we win - if the dice shows a two, we win, and if the dice shows a one, we also win. Thus, there are  two  favorable outcomes. In a game of chance, there's always a chance that you won't win. If we bet that we'll roll either a one or a two, that means we'll lose if we roll a three, four, five, or six. Since there are four ways that we can lose, that means that there are  four  unfavorable outcomes.  Another way to think of this is as the  Number of total outcomes  minus  the number of favorable outcomes.  When rolling a die, there are a total of six possible outcomes - one for each number on the die. In our example, then, we would subtract  two (the number of desired outcomes) from six.  6 - 2 = 4 unfavorable outcomes.  Similarly, you may subtract the number of unfavorable outcomes from the total number of outcomes to find the number of favorable outcomes. Generally, odds are expressed as the  ratio of favorable outcomes to unfavorable outcomes,  often using a colon. In our example, our odds of success would be  2 : 4  - two chances that we'll win versus four chances that we'll lose. Like a fraction, this can be simplified to  1 : 2  by dividing both terms by the common multiple of 2. This ratio is written (in words) as "one to two odds." You may choose to represent this ratio as a fraction. In this case, our odds are  2/4, simplified as  1/2.  Note - 1/2 odds don't mean we have a one-half (50%) chance of winning. In fact, we have a one-third chance of winning. Remember when expressing odds that odds are a ratio of favorable outcomes to unfavorable outcomes -  not  a numerical measurement of how likely we are to win. The 1 : 2 odds we just calculated are the  odds in favor  of us winning. What if we want to know the odds of losing,...

Article in English: Let's say you're dividing the fraction 1/2 by 18/20. Now, find the reciprocal of 18/20 which is 20/18 and change the division sign to a multiplication sign. So, 1/2 ÷ 18/20 = 1/2 x 20/18. Now, do the same thing you would do to multiply. If you multiply the numerators, 1 and 20, you get the result of 20 in the numerator. If you multiply the denominators, 2 and 18, you get 36 in the numerator. The product of the fractions is 20/36. 4 is the largest number that is evenly divisible by both the numerator and the denominator of this fraction, so divide each by 4 to get the simplified answer. 20/36 ÷ 4/4 = 5/9.

Article in English: Let's say you're going to multiply 756 and 32. Write 756 above 32, making sure that the ones and tens columns of both numbers line up, so that the 6 from 756 is above the 2 in 32 and the 5 in 756 is above the 3 in 32, and so on. This will make it easier for you to visualize the long multiplication process.  You will essentially begin by multiplying the 2 in 32 by each of the numbers in 756, and then multiplying the 3 in 32 by each of the numbers in 756. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. The "bigger" number means the one with the most digits (numbers). Take the 2 from 32 and multiply it by the 6 in 756. The product of 6 times 2 is 12. Write the ones digit, 2, under the units, and carry the 1 over the 5. Basically, you write down whatever number is in the ones digit, and if there is a number in the tens digit, you will have to carry it over the number to the left of the top number you just multiplied. You'll have a 2 directly below the 6 and the 2. Now, multiply 2 times 5 to equal 10. Add the 1 you carried over above the 5 to 10 to equal 11, and then write a 1 next to the 2 in the bottom row. You'll have to carry the extra 1 in the tens place over the 7. Now, just multiply 2 by 7 to equal 14. Then add the 1 that you carried over to 14 to equal 15. Don't carry the tens over this time, as there are no more numbers to multiply on this row. Just write the 15 on the bottom line. Now, you'll be multiplying the number in the tens place of 32, 3, by each digit in 756, so draw a zero below the 2 in 1512 before you begin so you are already starting in the tens place. If you were going to keep going and multiply a number in the hundreds place by the top number, then you'd need to draw two zeroes, and so on. Now, multiply 3 by 6 to equal 18. Again, put the 8 on the line, and carry the 1 over above the 5. Multiply 3 times 5. This makes 15, but you must add on the carried 1, so it equals 16. Write the 6 on the line, and carry the 1 over above the 7. Multiply 3 times 7 to equal 21. Add the 1 you carried to equal 22. You...

Article in English: Let's say you're working with the following numbers: 4, 2, 8, 1, 15. Just reorder them in ascending order, like so: 1, 2, 4, 8, 15. How you do this will depend on whether you have an even amount of numbers or an odd amount. Here's what you can do in either situation:  If odd, cross out the leftmost number, then the rightmost number, and then repeat. When you have one number left, this is your median. If you're working with the numbers 4, 7, 8, 11, and 21, then 8 is your mode because it's the number in the middle. If even, cross out numbers on either side, but you should have two numbers exactly in the middle. Add them together and divide by two for the median value. (If the two numbers in the middle are the same, that number is your median.) If you're working with the numbers 1, 2, 5, 3, 7, and 10, then your two middle numbers are 5 and 3. Add up 5 and 3 to get 8 and divide this result by 2 to get 4 as your median.

Article in English: Let's say you're working with the following problem: 10.5 - 8.3. Write 10.5 above 8.3 so that the decimal points of both numbers are lined up. The .5 in 10.5 should be over the .3 in 8.3, and the 0 in 10.5 should be over the 8 in 8.3. If you have a problem where both numbers don't have the same amount of numbers after the decimal point, write a 0 in the empty spaces until they even out. For example, if you have the problem 5.32 - 4.2, you can rewrite it as 5.32 - 4.20. This won't change the value of the second number while making it possible to subtract both numbers more easily. You should follow the same process you'd follow when subtracting regular whole numbers, except that you need to remember to line up the decimals of both numbers and to keep the decimal in your answer. In this case, you need to subtract 3 from 5. 5 - 3 = 2, so you should write a 2 below the 3 in 8.3. Make sure to carry that decimal point down to the answer. It should read .2 so far. Now, you'll need to subtract 8 from 0. Borrow from the 1 next to the 0 to make it a 10, and subtract 8 from 10 (10 - 8) to get 2. You can also just think of it as subtracting 8 from 10 without borrowing since there's no number in the tens column of the second number. Write the answer down below the 8, to the left of the decimal point. Your final answer is 2.2. If you want to make sure you subtracted decimals correctly, then all you have to do is to add your answer and the smaller number to make sure that you get the larger number. 2.2 + 8.3 = 10.5 so you're all done.

Article in English: Let’s face it. It may be hard to get complete privacy in middle school, but you have to do the best you can to make sure that you and your girlfriend can step away from your friends to get some time together. You could step outside during the school dance, find some solo time during a party, or even go out on a date together. Just do the best you can to make sure that there’s no chance that your friends can barge in and start making fun of you and ruin the mood.  Avoid trying this in school for the first time. You’ve got to find a slightly more romantic location. This doesn’t mean you should try to kiss your girlfriend the second you’re alone together. The moment has to feel right, and privacy isn’t the only requirement for that. If you’re ready to kiss your girlfriend, then your breath better be ready, too. You don’t have to make dramatic gestures and eat ten breath mints, but you should brush your teeth if you know you’re going to see your girlfriend soon. And if you’ve both just eaten a meal, just quickly chew a piece of gum. Don’t make a big deal about it or she’ll know that you’re self-conscious about kissing her. You can also put on some lip balm a few hours before to soften up your lips, but don’t use it right before you make a move or your lips won’t feel too pleasant. Once you’ve got her alone, you can’t just swoop in for the kiss or it will feel a bit forced. Instead, you have to show your girlfriend that you care about her by making her feel special. Give her a compliment, like, “You look so pretty tonight,” or say something nice like, “I’ve had so much fun with you today.” You don’t have to try too hard to show her that you really do care about her. Turn off your phone, look into her eyes, and show her that she has your undivided attention. If you want to kiss your girlfriend, then she has to feel like you really like her for who she is, and that you see her as more than just a person to kiss. Before you kiss your girlfriend, you have to make sure that you’re on the same page. This is probably...

Article in English: Lie down in a comfortable position, then place one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen. Slowly inhale through your nose to draw air into your abdomen. Feel your abdomen rise under your hand. Then, slowly exhale through puckered lips. Repeat for 5-10 minutes.  The hand on your chest shouldn’t rise during this exercise. Only your abdomen should rise. Repeat this exercise 2-3 times a day to improve your breathing. As you get used to the exercise, you can do it sitting up. Eventually, you’ll be able to do it while standing. Focus on slowing down your breathing by counting as you inhale, hold your breath, and exhale. Inhale as you slowly count to 5, then hold your breath for a 5 count. Next, exhale as you slowly count to 5. Repeat 5 times to help you return your breathing to its natural rhythm. It’s okay to vary your count. For instance, you might prefer to use a 3 count instead of a 5 count. Do what feels right to you. Place your finger over 1 nostril to close it off. Then, slowly inhale through your open nostril until your lungs are full. Hold the breath for 1 second, then close that nostril and slowly exhale through your other nostril. Inhale through that nostril, then close it off and exhale through the first nostril. Continue to alternate nostrils for 3-5 minutes to help restore natural breathing. Sit with your back straight, then place your tongue behind your teeth. Exhale through your mouth without moving your tongue to empty your lungs. Close your mouth, then inhale through your nose for a 4 count. Then, hold your breath for a 7 count. Exhale with a whoosh as you count to 8. Take a total 4 of 4-7-8 breaths to help you feel calm and relaxed. Slowly inhale through your nose until your lungs feel full. Then, make a low humming sound as you exhale through your mouth. Continue to hum until your lungs are empty. This can help you slow down your breath, which relaxes you.  Repeat this for several breaths to help you slow down your breathing. If you like, say a mantra like “Om” as you exhale.

Article in English: Lie down on a fitness mat on one side of your body. Your legs should be stacked on top of each other. Bend your knees. Place your upper arm’s hand (arm furthest from the mat) behind or at the side of your head. Place your lower arm’s hand either extended straight out from your body, or on your thigh or abdomen. Exhale and contract your abdominal oblique muscles to lift your upper body off the mat and crunch. Try to crunch to your side as high as possible, aiming to get your elbow as close to your thigh as you can. Pause and hold the crunch for a brief moment before inhaling and coming back down to your starting position. To make this exercise more challenging, lift up your knees simultaneously as you crunch. To make it even more challenging, you can straighten out your legs and simultaneously lift both of them up as you crunch. Once you have completed about one set of crunches (about 10–15 reps), flip over to lay on the other side of your body.  Get into the same starting position you did before, with your knees bent and your arms in place, and complete a set on this side of your body. Do 1–3 sets of 10–15 reps on each side of your body.  Try to do these crunches about 2 or 3 times a week.

Squeeze your inner thighs together against the ball and hold for at least 30 seconds. Relax your thighs for around 10 seconds, and repeat the exercise two or three times. Lower yourself onto your hands and feet into a plank position. Make sure your shoulders are over your wrists and your back is straight. Keeping yourself stable, jump your legs out as wide as possible. Then, squeeze as you jump them back together. If you have a slick surface, you can place towels, paper plates, or gliding discs under your feet and slide your legs wide and squeeze them back together instead of jumping. Lie on your back with your legs held straight up. Flex your feet, place your heels together, and turn your toes so your feet make a V shape. Lower and bend your knees, pushing your knees outwards and keeping your feet together. Squeeze your inner thighs as you straighten your legs. Lay on your right side on a yoga mat. Keep your back straight, bend your arm, and place your upper body weight on the bent arm. Bend your left knee and bring it over your right leg so that the foot is perpendicular to your straight right leg. Straighten your back and keep your head in line with your spine. Flex your abdominal muscles.  Exhale and raise your right leg up and straight as far as it will go. Stop if your hips start to move or your back starts to curve. Hold the leg at the top for 1 second. Inhale and lower the leg slowly. Complete all the reps on one leg before switching sides. Lie down on your back with your legs flat on the floor. Raise both legs a few inches off the floor. Then, raise one leg higher, then lower it as you raise the other leg, making a scissoring motion. Do this 10 times. Then, scissor your legs sideways by crisscrossing your legs. Make sure a different leg crosses over the top each time. Do this for 10 reps. Clamshells will work your outer rather than inner thighs,...

Article in English: Lie down with your back on a mat and your arms up above your head, as they are in the starting position. Practice lifting your legs up to your chest as fast as you can, simulating the same motion of the back tuck. Keep your body completely straight. Pretend there's a string tied to each of your hands that's being pulled upwards. This can help you extend your arms all the way up and straighten out your body. Your arms should be in close, right next to your ears. Do not bend your knees more than 90 degrees. Then, swing your arms back up as you jump straight up into the air. Before you try the back tuck, practice swinging your arms upward as you jump.  This is called "digging" or "setting." It allows you to generate enough power to actually do the back tuck. Remember to jump up first and not backward. Never look at the ground before your takeoff! Instead, keep your eyes focused straight ahead. Choose a spot that is slightly above head level and keep your eyes fixed on that point. Really push with your legs as you jump. After your feet leave the ground, bring your legs up to your chest as you continue to jump upward. The momentum of bringing your legs into your chest will help make the backward rotation much easier. Concentrate on jumping quickly rather than jumping with as much force as possible.

Article in English: Life jackets for dogs can be purchased at most pet stores and boating stores. Bring your dog with you to the store to try a life vest on. Make sure that it fits well before you buy it. If you have trouble figuring out to use the straps to secure the vest on your dog, ask for assistance at the store before venturing out. These will typically cost anywhere from $20 to $80. Leashes that go around the neck can be very dangerous on a boat, because the waves can toss around your dog, putting a lot of pressure on your dog’s neck. Use a harness that goes around its torso and legs so that pressure will be more evenly distributed. Put a tag on your dog that includes your cell phone number, your marina location, and your slip number. Consider having an ID microchip implanted in your dog. Bring any medications that your dog is on and antibiotic ointments in case it scratches itself. Full pet first aid kits can be purchased at most pet stores. A human first aid kit can also work, but you should keep some pet specific items on board: contact information for your vet, copies of important medical information including rabies vaccination, self-cling bandage, and a muzzle. If you are not sure if your dog is susceptible to seasickness, you should keep the medication on board. Talk to a veterinarian about what medications are appropriate for your dog. Generally some human seasickness medications will work, specifically Benadryl and Dramamine.

Article in English: Lift the left side of the curtain rod and slide the curtain so that the first grommet is on the outside of the bracket. Set the rod back down, and repeat this step with the last grommet on the second panel.  If you want to be able to move the curtain panel back-and-forth across the entire rod, the last grommet should be inside the bracket.  If your curtain has just 1 panel, do this step with the first and last grommets. The return is the excess 4 inches (10 cm) or so of fabric on each side of the curtain panel. Not all curtains have this, but if yours does, tuck the excess fabric into the curtain to that it rests against the wall. This will give your curtain a nicer finish. If the return won't stay inside the curtain, insert a drapery pin to the back of the return. Place a screw into the wall, then secure the pin to the screw. Eyelet curtains develop natural folds because of the way that they are hung. If your curtains didn't get these folds, open the curtains up. Run your fingers down them from top-to-bottom, placing your fingers into the folds. Eyelet curtains typically don't need to be tied back because of the way that they drape, but you can certainly install wall-mounted tie backs if you want to. Measure two-thirds down from the top of the window frame. Place the tie back bracket against the wall and mark the holes with a pencil. Remove the bracket and drill the holes. Replace the bracket and insert the screws. You can also tie back the curtains using ropes or ribbon.

Article in English: Lift up different pieces of hair so that all parts of your pixie cut are covered, including the bangs and roots. Take a thin, plastic comb and drag it through your hair in long, straight movements. Move the comb so that the hair is pulled from front to back, and so the front hairline is completely visible.  You can use a volumizing mousse as well. Knead this throughout your hair with your fingers. For optimal results, do this after you’ve showered and towel-dried your hair. the hair along the side parts. Locate the side parts of your hair and blow over them with the hairdryer. Focus specifically on the parts of your hair that are closest to the roots. As you blow dry your pixie cut around, use your fingers to move your hair around. Make sure that an even amount of heat reaches each piece of your hair so the volumizing spray can do its job. Put a nozzle on your blow dryer that focuses the heated air into a smaller radius. This makes the blow drying process more effective. Rub a pea-sized amount of molding cream over your hands and begin using your fingers to rub the product into different portions of your hair. As you did with the blow drying and volumizing spray, make sure that all areas of your hair are covered—don’t just focus on the bottom of your bangs. Place a special focus on fingering the sides of your hair, as well. Your roots also need some TLC.

Article in English: Lift your feet out of the tub — you do not need to dry them beforehand. Ensure that you’ve wet the stone before you use it on your feet. Applying light to medium pressure, rub the pumice stone on the wet, callused parts of your feet for 2 to 3 minutes to remove dead skin.  Rubbing too hard with a pumice stone can result in irritated skin and infection. It shouldn’t hurt, so if it begins to, either rub more gently or, if your skin is very irritated, stop all together until it heals. You can use a pumice stone daily, but be sure to rinse it after every use. If it looks particularly worn, try boiling it or, if that doesn’t seem to refresh it, replace it.  If you can’t find or don’t want to use a pumice stone, you can also purchase a foot file at most drugstores and superstores. You use it much like a pumice stone, rubbing it against the callused parts of your feet with gentle to medium pressure, and backing off if it hurts. If your foot bath is still clean — not full of dead skin flakes — you can put your feet back into the bath to give them a final rinse before drying them off. If the bath is full of dead skin bits or if you just feel cleaner rinsing with clean water after the soak, place your feet under a tap and rinse your feet using lukewarm water. Some people claim that Epsom salt is detoxifying, and that it is necessary to rinse after soaking in an Epsom salt bath so as to remove the toxins that have come to the surface of your skin. There is little to no scientific evidence to show this is true, but it also doesn’t hurt to rinse! Wrap your feet in a towel to soak up most of the water, then pat them dry. Avoid rubbing your feet as this might irritate your skin. After drying your feet, apply a moisturizing lotion. What you use will depend on your own preference, but it’s best to use something with little to no scent.  If your feet aren’t super cracked or dry, you can get away with a lighter moisturizer; if they’re very dry, you might want to use something heavier or even made specifically for cracked, dry...

Article in English: Light pink and peach tend to be the best on lighter skin because they are the most natural-looking blush colors. Anything sheer, especially plum, also works well on fair skin because it’s on the translucent side and not so overwhelming in contrast. Apricot is great for adding a subtle warming effect to those with medium skin tones while mauve provides a more bold sense of depth. Rose provides just the right delicate, natural flush for olive skin. Bronze blush adds a little warmth while also brightening. Bold colors like raisin or brick highlight darker skin tones the best without looking too over-the-top. For a neutral look, try a bright tangerine blush. Powder blush is a good go-to because it works well on nearly all skin types, goes on silky, and leaves a matte finish. Also, powder blush is very likely to stay on and not need reapplication over longer periods of time. Cream blush can hydrate your skin to keep it from looking too dry. It tends to look a little dewy when applied and feels very lightweight, which helps in providing a more authentic blush look.

Article in English: Like all cats, Maine Coons are an investment of both time and money.  They can cost anywhere from $400 to $1,000, and they also require ongoing costs like cat food, cat litter, and vet visits.  Plus, since Maine Coons are relatively outgoing, they require some attention and affection every day.  If you are a busy person, consider a pet that requires less energy. If you want a less energetic Maine Coon, think about getting a full-grown cat instead of a kitten. Reputable breeders will not have Maine Coons (or any other breed) available year-round.  They will also not accept purchases online or have multiple litters on their premises.  Instead, they’ll insist on a strict contract that describes what happens in case you can no longer take care of the cat, and provide as much information as possible about the cat’s pedigree and health. Contact the Maine Coon Breeders and Fanciers Association for a list of reputable breeders in your area. Buying your Maine Coon from a breeder is the most common way to get one.  But you could also get your Maine Coon from a rescue organization like Maine Coon Adoptions or Maine Coon Rescue.  Contact one of these organizations or a similar group about getting a Maine Coon. Reputable breeders or cat sellers will welcome you to visit the cat in the location where the cat was raised.  The cat should be raised indoors.  Be wary of breeders who try to meet you in a location that is not the place where the Maine Coon was raised (typically the breeder’s home).  If you see that the Maine Coon was raised in a small, dirty, or crowded pen, choose another breeder.  These conditions suggest that the cat might have fleas or illnesses. Likewise, do not obtain a cat that was raised in isolation, as it may have difficulty socializing with other pets or people when introduced to your home. Maine Coons will probably not be available right away.  Cats raised properly need to be about 12 to 16 weeks old before they can be separated from their mothers.  Additionally, many breeders have wait lists that...

Article in English: Like an essay, advertising posters have three parts: headline, body, and signature. To design a great poster, make all three components strong and eye-catching.  Headline. This is the part that should grab the reader's attention. It is usually at the top of the poster and is in the biggest font. It should be short- less than 15 words- or your reader will get bored and walk away without reading the rest. Try to come up with a great phrase that conveys a message about your product and makes the reader want to look at the rest of the poster. Body. Underneath the headline should be one or two sentences that advertise your message. They can be longer than the headline, but again short enough to keep the reader interested. Highlight only a few key points that you want readers to know and to entice them. Signature. Here is where you'll place your company, store, group, or whatever you're advertising. Include all relevant contact information like address, phone number, email, social media pages, websites, and hours of operation. It is usually at the bottom of the poster. Although you can hand draw your poster, usage of specialized computer programs can open a lot of possibilities for your poster. If you are trained in using Adobe products, you may choose to use Adobe InDesign or Illustrator. If you are not well-trained, you may choose a template-based program, such as Apple's Pages or ArtSkills.com's Poster Maker. If you're advertising for a company or organization, you should consider designing a logo if you don't already have one. This will not only grab your readers' attention, but you can start building a recognizable trademark. If your advertisements make you successful, you could even design posters with just your logo, because readers will already be aware of what you are advertising. Coca-cola is a prime example of this. Bigger is not always better when it comes to advertising posters. While you'll be tempted to go as big as possible, this could actually hurt you. Besides being very expensive, large posters...

Article in English: Like any alga species, black algae (which are really blue-green algae that look black) will grow quickly in warm water on a sunny day. Black algae are chlorine-resistant, because they have a protective outer layer that makes regular sanitization ineffective. While algae aren’t harmful, their presence can be a sign that other bacteria are present.  Other alga species that are common in pools are green algae, mustard or yellow algae, and pink algae, which is actually a bacterium. Algae tend to bloom in pools that have poor circulation, poor filtration, a high pH level, and a low chlorine level. Chlorine should be somewhere between 1.0 and 3.0 parts per million. The pH level should be between 7.2 and 7.8. Alkalinity should be between 80 and 120 parts per million. Test these three levels once or twice a week and correct as needed. Calcium hardness should be tested monthly, and the ideal level is between 180 and 220 parts per million. On a weekly or bi-weekly basis, shock your pool to remove chloramines (chlorine molecules that have attached to other particles) and raise chlorine levels quickly. There are four products you can use to shock your pool, and they are:  Calcium or lithium hypochlorite Granular chlorine Potassium peroxymonosulfate Keeping the water in your pool moving is one of the best preventative measures for algae. Not only will it make it harder for alga spores to take hold, it will also ensure that sanitizing chemicals are evenly distributed. Monitor and clean the skimmer and strainer basket regularly. A clogged filter won’t work as well, and it will slow down the flow of water. In warmer months like July and August when algae have the best chance of blooming, run the pump for about eight hours over the course of the day. Especially if you’ve had trouble with algae in the past, consider adding algaecide to your pool on a monthly basis. Ammonia-based algaecides should work for green algae, but metal-based (specifically copper) algaecides are necessary for black algae. Brushing will remove dirt and...

Article in English: Like any difficult skill, the best way to learn how to open your eyes underwater without pain is through practice. Start by jumping into your preferred body of water. As noted above, clean fresh water is best — chlorine and salt water hurt more. Keep your eyes closed as you enter the water to prevent water from splashing into them. If you're wearing contacts, don't forget to take them off before you get in the water. Once you're underwater, open your eyes ever-so-slightly. Crack your eyelids open just a little bit until you can see the vague outlines of your surroundings. Maintain this for a second or two. If it's not too uncomfortable, proceed to the next step. If squinting is too painful, you may be swimming in eye-irritating water (or may just naturally have sensitive eyes). Try the "controlled environment" step at the end of this section. Now, gradually open your eyelids to their natural "open" position. It may be hard to get yourself to do this — it often feels "wrong," like swallowing a pill without water or looking over a high ledge if you're afraid of heights. If you're nervous, go extra-slow to keep your anxiety manageable. Some people find it easier to open their eyes underwater if they look upward. Try experimenting with pointing your eyes in different directions to find a position that feels best for you. If you've ever held your eyes open out of water (like for a staring contest), you probably know that they start to sting after a while even without anything irritating them besides the air. When you're underwater, your eyes will start to sting much more quickly and you'll need to hold them closed for longer than normal to get the stinging to go away. As soon as you feel the first twinges of pain, shut your eyes and hold them closed for a second or two. Your eyelids will re-coat your eyes with a protective layer of tears, reducing the pain. When the stinging goes away, gradually open your eyes again. Repeat this pattern as you swim underwater to keep the pain under control. Everyone's eyes are...

Article in English: Like any job, it's important to understand the difference between what will be expected of you as an entry-level welder and what will be expected of you in other welding openings for jobs you might find advertised for welders. The type of experience and certifications you'll need will vary, depending on the type of position you want to pursue.   Welders do one thing–weld metal. Good welders can consistently find work in all types of manufacturing, performing their trade skill in the making of cars, ships, heavy machinery, and other essential items. If two pieces of metal need to be fused together, the welder is the person for the job. The welder doesn't usually assemble the metal to be welded, operate any other kind of machinery, or do anything but weld. Fitters, erectors, operators, and other trades are often involved in processes that require welding.  Welding engineers have more responsibilities, including project management and planning, metallurgy, and overseeing the welders. Welding engineers usually need experience drafting in CAD, and are generally required to have a four-year degree in materials engineering or welding engineering, and often an advanced degree.   Welding Instructors must have passed the Certified Welding Instructor certification examination from the AWS, becoming certified to instruct others in the skills necessary to weld. If you have ambitions to teach, many jobs are available for qualified instructors. You need several years of experience with different styles of welding to qualify for this certification.  Welding Inspectors are certified to evaluate and complete quality standards commensurate with the standards of the AWS. On-the-job experience and working alongside a Senior Welding Inspector are required before completing the certification. Typically, AWS certification involves a welding test and a written exam that you'll take every six months to a year, depending on regional requirements, to keep your certification up to date. You'll need to obtain the certification necessary...

Article in English: Like its name implies, this line is related to matters of the heart. It tells about your emotional life and relationships. Examine its length, how it curves, and whether it is broken or crossed. For instance, crosses in the line or places where it breaks can mean you've had episodes where you were very sad.  If it's straight and long, that means you're happy with your love life. It also means you're giving emotionally. "Long" means it starts underneath the index finger.  If it's long and curved, that means you are emotionally open, and that you're especially affectionate when that curve points towards the index finger.  If the line is straight and short, that means you're not as tied down by romantic notions. "Short" means it starts near your middle finger or even further down your palm.  If it's short and curves, that means you keep your emotions closer to the chest, preferring the company of a close group of friends to that of a large party. Your life line isn't about how long you're going to live. Rather, it points to how you've been taking care of yourself, or more pointedly, if you haven't been taking care of yourself.  If you see a number or breaks a long this line, that could be an indication you need to take better care of yourself. In other words, you need to get more rest and look after your emotional and physical needs.  A short line (one that doesn't go all the way to the bottom of your palm), means you like to distract yourself when tough times hit, while a longer line means you're the person everyone else looks to for support. The head line displays things to do with your brain, such as your intelligence or the way you communicate. It also can show the ways you learn best.  Pay attention to how the head and heart line interact. If they are pinched together, it can mean you are a bit more reserved and cautious. The more spread apart these two lines are at the beginning, the more adventurous you are.  If the line is straight, it says you're more levelheaded, while if it curves, you're more...

If you use Linux, then you might have an IM client like Pidgin or Thunderbird already installed. On Windows, you're probably out of luck. BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file-sharing program. Instead of way to communicating with a central server, BitTorrent reaches out to your peers (people just like you!). It's a great way to download files quickly. Although it has earned its reputation as a piracy tool, there are many files that can be legally torrented, including some browsers. You'll need to find it first, though – which might be hard without a browser. Despite its name, telnet has nothing to do with telephone lines. It's just a simple, two-way text communications protocol, mostly used for command-line applications. While it's technically possible to download stuff over telnet, it's not common to actually do this. The Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) is an application protocol that moves Usenet news articles—net news—between news servers. People also use it to read and post articles by end user client applications. Web forums effectively replaced Usenet. You can explore all the Newsgroups without needed to "know the right people," like you would with all the above protocols, and you can probably find a browser if you look hard enough. However, it may be difficult to get access to a server at first. Many servers charge money to access Usenet. There are many non-browser tools that use the Web. Some file explorers will download files if given a Web address. Curl and wget are command-line tools that can access files from FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS. They will download a file from the Web, but they can't render pages.

Article in English: Lilies will survive outdoors over winter in mild climates that don’t experience much sustained snow, deep freezes or heavy prolonged rainfall in the colder months. They can generally cope outdoors through winter in zones 8 and up.  North America is split into 11 zones, according to the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map. Each zone is 10 °F (−12 °C) warmer (or colder) than the one adjacent to it. To find out which zone you live in, go to the National Gardening Association's website and enter your zip code. After flowering has ended, refrain from watering and allow the plant to die back. Avoid cutting the foliage until it has withered away, as this allows the bulbs to store more energy to last throughout the winter months. Lily bulbs will not do well sitting in damp, soggy soil over the winter months. In order to prevent them from rotting as a result of wet conditions, you should do all you can to improve soil drainage. This usually means incorporating plenty of grit or perlite at planting time to improve drainage. Many gardeners also recommend raising the lily bulbs above water level. To do this, raise the surface level of the soil by creating a low mound over each bulb. This means your bulbs will be less likely to sit in wet earth, so you can prevent them from rotting through the wet winter months. To protect the lily bulbs over the winter, apply a mulch of about 4 inches (10.2 cm) of straw or evergreen branches. Alternatively, place an upturned pot or cloche over the location of the bulbs. Do this in the fall before the ground gets cold.

Article in English: Limit your consumption of citrus fruits, sugary foods, and sour foods, which can send your salivary glands into overdrive. Do your best to steer clear of any other foods and odors, such as cooking smells or personal fragrances, that cause you to salivate.  Eating any food can stimulate salivation, but bland, dry foods such as crackers or toast might help absorb excess saliva and provide immediate relief. If someone nearby is cooking or eating and you can’t avoid them, try to distract yourself. Keep yourself busy with an activity, sing a song in your head, write a story, or chat on the phone. This can help to stop mild to moderate drooling, especially if you’re unable to control it. By keeping your mouth busy with something, you’ll be less likely to drool. Always keep some gum or candy on hand in case you need it.If you’re concerned about your sugar intake, opt for a sugarless gum or candy. When you’re salivating excessively, pour yourself a glass of grape juice. The tannic acid in dark grape juice can make your mouth feel dry and decrease saliva production.  Other beverages that contain tannic acid include green and black teas, coffee, and red wine. Keep in mind these drinking beverages can lead to tooth decay and staining. Be sure to floss once a day and brush your teeth at least twice a day. As a bonus, brushing could temporarily relieve excessive salivating. A cup of sage or ginger tea could help dry out overactive salivary glands. Chewing sage leaves or a piece of ginger root could do the trick, too. You could also drink a sage tincture once a day; add 15 to 20 drops of sage extract to a glass of water.  You can find sage tea bags at grocery stores, health stores, and online. Alternatively, steep 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of fresh sage leaves or 1 teaspoon of dried sage in 1  c (240 mL) of hot water for 3 to 5 minutes. Some medical professionals recommend using sage and ginger to decrease salivation in patients with conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and ALS. However, you should consult your doctor...

Article in English: Line the first bin with 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) of substrate. Place your starter stock in the bin. Slice up an apple, a carrot, or a potato and place the slices on top of the substrate, to provide moisture for the mealworms. Put the lid on top of the bin. The mealworms will begin eating the substrate and reproducing. The mealworms may pull the food under the substrate to eat it, which is completely normal. The mealworms, which are the larvae of the darkling beetle, will need 10 or more weeks to go through their life cycle and reproduce to make new mealworms. They will change from larvae to pupae, then from pupae to mature beetles. The beetles will copulate and lay eggs in the substrate, which hatch 1 to 4 weeks later.  While you wait for this process to take place, check the bin every day and take care of the mealworms in the following ways:  Change out the cut vegetables if they appear to get moldy. Keep the temperature stable at 70 to 75 °F (21 to 24 °C). Remove dead mealworms or beetles and discard them. Once the new larvae hatch from their eggs, you'll need to move all the pupae and beetles to the second container. If you keep them all in the same container, the beetles will feed on the larvae. When you move them to the second container, they'll lay eggs and continue the reproduction process. To move the beetles and pupae, do the following:  Prepare the second container by lining it with 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) of substrate. Pick out the beetles and pupae by hand and place them in the new container. Use gloves if you want to. The beetles won't bite and rarely fly. Put a few slices of carrots or potatoes in the second container, then cover. Once the new larvae are big enough (before they become pupae) you may feed them to your pets. Remember that any mealworms left in the bin will mature and become pupae, then beetles. Continue moving pupae and beetles to the second container as they mature. You can store mealworms in the refrigerator to make them keep longer if you want to set some aside for feeding...

Article in English: Lines of longitude are vertical lines that stretch across the globe, moving from the North to South Pole. The Prime Meridian divides lines of longitude. This is the zero degree mark. When writing out lines of longitude, use the symbol "°" to indicate degrees.  Lines of longitude stretch from east to west. Moving to the east, each line of longitude increases by one degree. You use the letter "E" to indicate a line of longitude that falls to the east of the Prime Meridian. For example, a line of longitude could be 30°E. Moving to the west, lines of longitude also increase by one degree per line. You write lines of longitude that fall to the west of the Prime Meridian using the symbol "W" to indicate west. For example, a line of longitude could be 15°W. Lines of latitude are horizontal lines dividing the globe. They stretch from east to west, starting at the equator. The equator's line of latitude is marked by 0 degrees. When writing latitude and longitude, use the symbol "°" to indicate degrees.  As you move north of the equator, lines of latitude increase by one degree until they reach 90 degrees. The 90 degree mark is the North Pole. Lines of latitude above the equator are marked using the letter "N" to mean North. For example, a line of latitude could be 15°N. As you move south of the equator, lines of latitude again increase by a single degree for each line until you reach the 90 degree mark. This is the South Pole. You use the symbol "S" to indicate south. For example, a line of latitude could be 30°S. Find a location and figure out where the lines of latitude and longitude connect. For example, a location could be found along the latitude line 15°N and the longitude line 30°E. When writing latitude and longitude, write latitude first, followed by a comma, and then longitude. For example, the above lines of latitude and longitude would be written as "15°N, 30°E."

Article in English: Liposuction is a procedure that can remove unwanted pockets of fat from nearly any area of the body, including the thighs. However, this is considered a drastic or serious method to taking an inch off your thighs and is an expensive way to address unwanted fat on your thighs.  This treatment uses a very narrow tube, called a cannula, which is inserted directly into the thigh. The cannula is attached to a suction device, which removes fat cells, resulting in a smoother, leaner contour to the thigh. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, and discomfort and recovery time after the procedure is generally minimal. However, the procedure can be expensive. Depending on the location where you plan to get liposuction done and the surgeon performing the surgery, you can expect to pay between $2,000 - $5,000 for inner thigh liposuction and between $1,600 - $5,000 for outer thigh liposuction. Like other surgical procedures, thigh liposuction has some possible risks and side effects. These include:  Blood clots, infection, fat clots, skin sensitivity changes, bleeding, irregular or uneven body contours, swelling, skin discoloration, skin and nerve damage, scarring, anesthesia risks, pain, and loose skin. It's important to keep in mind that while liposuction will help remove fat from your thighs and give them a more contoured look, it cannot treat obesity or make up for a poor diet without exercise. It will not solve other health issues from obesity or a lack of physical activity. Liposuction also cannot treat cellulite, which are the dimpled marks on the thighs and buttocks. It cannot treat loose or sagging skin. The results of thigh liposuction can be long-lasting with proper care. But if you gain back any weight in your thighs, you can completely reverse the look of the thigh liposuction. So its essential you adopt a healthy lifestyle with a good diet and exercise before and after the procedure. A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a more invasive surgical procedure that reshapes the thigh, removing...

Article in English: Lipstick can stain hard surfaces such as acrylic plastic, glass, porcelain dishes, stainless steel, vinyl, and more. Once you see the stain, get a cloth, dish soap, and ammonia. Use a clean cloth to rinse and wipe clean. It will pick up any remaining lipstick from your hard surface.

Article in English: Lipstick is great for adding color to your lips, but some types can be very drying. If you like to wear lipstick, look for something that says "hydrating" on the label. Apply lip balm under your lipstick for even more hydration and smoothness.  Take a pass on the lip gloss, which tends to be drying. If you must use lip gloss, apply it over your lip balm.  Choose creamy lipstick over matte lipstick. Creamy lipstick is generally more moisturizing than matte lipstick, which tends to be drying. This includes things like lipstick, lip balm, and even toothpaste. When making the switch, go for something natural and without any synthetic flavorings; natural flavors are fine. There is a chance that you are allergic to one of your current lipsticks, balms, or toothpaste. You don't have to switch up everything—just the products that come in contact with your mouth. This usually happens during the wintertime, but it can also happen during the summer depending on where you live. Use a humidistat to measure the humidity in your home. If the reading falls below 45, get a humidifier. You don't have to leave it on all the time; you can leave it on at night and turn it off during the day. There could be something that you are allergic to that you are not aware of. If the corners of your lips are also cracked, you may have a type of yeast infection. Another culprit might be a prescription medication for acne, high blood pressure, or nausea; they often have chapped lips as a side effect.  Do not discontinue your prescriptions without consulting your doctor first. Dry lips may also be an indicator of a vitamin deficiency.

Article in English: Liquid medications are usually exempt from liquid restrictions on most airlines. However, you usually need to keep the medication in its original container. Some airlines may require a doctor's note or a written prescription. Check the regulations on the airline you're flying through if you're carrying liquid medications. Medication does occasionally get lost. In a bind, you should be able to fill a prescription out of state. However, this may cost a lot if your insurance does not provide out of state coverage. Make sure you know your insurance policy's regulations regarding travel prior to a trip. If you need syringes, you will usually need a note from your doctor explaining their purpose. You will also probably need to keep syringes in their original container for travel. As always, plan ahead. It may take a few days for your doctor to write a letter, so make the request in advance if you're traveling.

Article in English: Listen for increasing sounds and babbling as they grow. Children usually become fully verbal by 16 to 24 months of age.   A typical baby will be able to share sounds back-and-forth with you like sharing a conversation by nine months of age. An autistic baby may not be verbal at all or may have been verbal but then lost the skill. A typical child will be babbling by about 12 months of age. Talk together about your child’s favourite toy and listen to their sentence structure and conversation skills. Typically developing children will have many words by 16 months of age, can create their own meaningful, two-word phrases by 24 months of age, and have coherent sentences by age five.  An autistic child tends to misplace words in sentence structure or simply repeat others’ phrases or sentences, called parroting or echolalia. They might mix up pronouns, saying "Do you want pancakes?" when they are trying to say that they want pancakes.  Some autistic children pass over the “kid-speak” phase and have superior language skills. They may learn to speak early, and/or grow large vocabularies. They may converse differently than their peers do. Determine if your child takes phrases literally. An autistic child tends to misinterpret body language, tone of voice, and expressions.  If you have a moment of sarcastic frustration and claim, “How wonderful!” when you find your autistic child has used his red marker all over the living room walls, they may think you literally mean their art is wonderful. Autistic children often have unique nonverbal communication. Because most people are used to watching non-autistic body language, this may be confusing to you and others at times.   Robotic, singsong, or unusually childish tone of voice (even into teen or adult years) Body language that does not seem to match their mood Little variation in facial expressions, exaggerated facial expressions, or otherwise unique expressions

Article in English: Listen to music with a strong beat that has an attitude that you like while you are practicing strutting with your heels on. Try to concentrate on the attitude that you want to project, and sustain that look for as long as you can while walking. If you can put a rhythm and attitude in your step, your walk will come to life and exude a fantastic supermodel energy.  Think flirty and confident as you step to a rhythm. When you are on the catwalk, imagine the music that puts you in your groove and follow that groove. While you are stepping to the beat, remember to keep your shoulders back and body composed in the posture of a supermodel. Once you get to the end of the walk, wait a beat, and then lean onto one hip with all of your confidence and poise. You can look down at the audience now and break your focus for a moment. You don't have to move your head much- your look should come mostly from the eyes. Then compose yourself in the same facial expression and walk as before, and walk off stage. Practice your pose in the mirror. Be especially aware of how long you break to pose and make eye contact with your audience. When you are in front of an audience your nervousness can make a few seconds seem much longer. Get used to holding your pose for a couple of seconds in the mirror so that you have muscle memory to rely on in front of the audience. There are a few signature supermodel walks and Karlie Kloss' has one that is famous for its predator like style . Make your walk down the runway more swift by quickly bringing your knees up slightly more than normal and keeping one foot in front of the other. This should create a jaunty step in your walk. Put more swing in your hips because your walk is faster. Your arms will also swing from side to side more.

Article in English: Listening is the most important part of forming a relationship with anyone. This is because most people enjoy talking about themselves, their problems, and their interests. You’ll do very well by quieting yourself and listening to the girl that you’re interested in dating.  Be conscious of how much you talk and how much you talk about yourself. Ask her questions about herself and what she thinks. Pay attention to what she says, and avoid day dreaming. People like to be noticed, and they like to think that others think highly of them. Take some time to notice the little things about her or even the small things that you just love about her. This might be the way she smiles, the way she laughs, and more. Figure out what she's good at (it could be sports, academics, her job) and what she takes pride in. This is an important part of moving to the next level, because it will send the signal that you’re interested in more than just friendship.  Feel free to compliment her; tell her you love her eyes, or that she has an infectious laugh. Try to avoid focusing on her body, which can be uncomfortable for girls. Let her know you've noticed when she is good at something or when she takes pride in something. After you've gotten to know her generally, you should invest more time in finding what makes her a unique person. Engage in long discussions. Consider the following:  Talk to her about her aspirations and what interests her. Discuss people who influence both of you. Find out what drives her and who and what she cares about the most. One of the most important things about growing close to a girl is understanding when and why she feels certain ways sometimes. Pay attention to her. Know what makes her happy, what makes her sad, and why she feels the way she does about things she cares about.  Is she grumpy in the morning? She may not be a morning person. What makes her most happy? Is it spending time with family or friends? Does her job or school make her happy or miserable. You've already had your chance to be funny...

Article in English: Listening to music can be a fun way to learn a new language. Songs you enjoy may be available in another language; this will make it easier for you to recognize words if you know the lyrics by heart. You can also choose songs you’ve never heard and print out the lyrics, then translate them. Identify a topic that you regularly read about (e.g., technology news) and read about it in the other language. Find online newspaper sections or blogs that cover that topic in the language you're learning. Try reading about the topic only in the target language. BBC World Service is a great place to start for foreign language broadcasts. You can also tune into many TV stations and watch news stories and shows produced in another language. This can be a lot more fun than simply reading grammar texts. You could select the option for a voiceover in another language, while also selecting subtitles in your native language. Watch the movie or show to read the words in your language while hearing them in another. Conversely, listen in your native language while reading foreign subtitles. After a while, try to watch the movie or show in the foreign language with no subtitles. The huge advantage over internet radio is that they're downloadable. You can listen to the same show repeatedly until you feel you understand it. Don't be afraid to specialize, especially once you've got the basic vocabulary and grammar down — if you're into technology, for example, listening to tech-podcasts is a good place to start as many technology-related words and names are adapted from English. Many online and app games allow for language changes to the most commonly used languages. If this is the case for your game, switch to the language you're learning. Since you're already familiar with the game, you’ll be playing some of it intuitively. You will also see the new words regularly and in some cases, be forced to work out what is being said in order to advance through the game. This can help you correct mistakes you are making as well as learn new...

Article in English: Litter pans/trays/boxes designed for rabbits have a raised back (to prevent litter flying everywhere when they scrape) and a low front (to make it easier for the rabbit to hop in). You may want to purchase several pans or trays so that you can eventually disperse them around the house and easily swap them out when cleaning and disinfecting the litter pans. You don't have to use a special rabbit tray. A regular cat litter tray with lower sides is fine, or even a shallow cardboard box (but be prepared to replace it regularly as it will get chewed). Use it to line the bottom of the tray, which will make it easier to clean the pan out. Most newspapers now use soy-based ink, which is not toxic for rabbits, but always check before using it. Newspaper ink can also rub off onto your rabbit's coat, turning it black or gray. Choose a rabbit-safe product, such as paper-based litter or untreated aspen chips. Don't use pine or cedar chips, since these are treated with oils that can irritate a rabbit's lungs. Do not use clay based cat litters or clumping cat litters. If the rabbit eats them, these litters could cause a bowel blockage. The cage should be three to six times the length of the rabbit. The first step of training is to restrict your rabbit to a cage with food, water and a hide in one half, and the litter tray in the other. The restricted space encourages your rabbit to not soil her living area, and toilet in the tray. Use hay to attract the rabbit to the litter box. Rabbits frequently like to munch on a snack while toileting, so this will encourage her to use the space. You will scoop out litter soiled with urine on a daily basis. The whole tray needs disinfecting at least once a week. Use a commercial disinfectant designed specifically for small animals.

Summary in French:


Article in English: Locate the beginning of the P wave and the beginning of the QRS complex. This is called the PR interval. Normal duration is between 0.12 to 0.20 seconds, which is three to five small horizontal boxes. This amount of time should be pretty consistent across the entire strip. If there is a varied amount of time (boxes) between beats, it can indicate an irregular heartbeat. This is only something to worry about if your doctor says so. It can be completely harmless. You may have a regular or irregular heart rhythm. If your rhythm is irregular, it may be regularly or irregularly. To determine the rhythm, check if the intervals are the same length. Mark a few of your R-R intervals on a separate sheet of paper. Use that sheet of paper to move along the rhythm strip to see if the intervals are all the same lengths. A regularly irregular rhythm has a pattern to the irregular rhythm. An irregularly irregular rhythm has no pattern at all and is all over the place. You can use the following formula to calculate your heart rate. Count the number of squares between the two peaks (the R waves). Take 300 and divide it by the number of boxes between the 2 peaks. In this diagram, it's 3 boxes, so 300 divided by 3 = 100 BPM.  If you counted 4 big boxes between peaks, you have a heart rate of 75 beats per minute (300/4) = 75. This is only used for regular heart beats. If the peaks aren’t regular and there are different amounts of boxes between them, the heartbeat is irregular. Count the number of spikes that are in a 6-second readout and multiply the number by 10 to get an approximate rate. For example, if there are 7 R waves in a 6 second strip, the heart rate is 70 (7x10=70). Alternately, you can count the complexes on the rhythm strip, which represents 10 seconds. Multiply that number by 6 to find the 60 second heart rate. Though everyone’s normal EKG readout can vary, there are some irregularities that your doctor may investigate further. Your doctor will look at your EKG results, combined with your symptoms, and start to...
