Article in English: Girly girls don’t run everywhere or flop across their seats. Practice walking and sitting gracefully. When you walk, walk carefully and confidently, with small steps and your head held up. When you sit down, sit with your back straight and your arms by your side or in your lap. You don’t have to cross your legs or your ankles, but it can add a feminine touch. Be nice to everyone you meet. Look them in the eye, introduce yourself if you don’t know them, and address them by name. Ask how they’re doing, and if you are able to help someone with anything, offer to do it!  This doesn’t mean that you should let people treat you badly--if you have to tell someone to stop or to leave you alone, do so clearly and firmly. Avoid swearing or using explicit words. They’re impolite, and it’s hard to be girly when you use them. Girly girls are interested in romance, but that doesn’t mean you need to start dating or do anything you aren’t comfortable with. Try reading romantic books, watching romances on TV, and talking to your friends about crushes. Some girls like to read bridal magazines even if they aren’t planning to get married. It’s a fun way to show your romantic side and keep up with fashion! You don’t have to follow every trend, but most girly girls have an idea of what’s popular even if they don’t actually participate in it. You should have an idea of what’s cool to wear, listen to, and watch, if only so you’ll have something to talk about with your friends. It’s okay to have guy friends, but you should make sure you have a core group of girls that you hang out with and talk about girly things with. If you don’t have any close girlfriends, start by complimenting one of your classmates on her clothes or makeup. It’s a great way to start a friendship! Eating neatly and having good table manners is a big part of acting like a lady. When you eat, don’t chew with your mouth open, lean on your elbow, or gobble your food. Practice taking small bites, keeping your hands in your lap when not eating, and chewing and...

Article in English: Give about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water each week. Water the base of the plant. Avoid watering fruit and leaves, as this could cause the plant to develop fungus or rot. For a rough estimate of how much water you need, use about 5 gallons (19 L) of water for every 8 feet (2.4 m) of strawberry plants. Spread the mulch around the base of the plants. You can use straw, pine needles, or wood shavings. Remove the mulch in spring and spread it between the rows to keep the area free of weeds. Weeds can easily overwhelm strawberry plants, especially newly planted ones. Check for weeds once a week. Pull out any weeds by hand, making sure to remove their roots. You can also use a hoe to remove weeds between rows. By removing the first flowers that appear, you will give the strawberry plant a chance to grow more vigorously. You can pull the flowers off or cut them off using gardening shears.  For June-bearing plants, remove all flowers in the first year to get a harvest the following year. The next year, do not remove the flowers. For day-neutral and everbearing varieties, remove the flowers until the end of June. Allow flowers to grow afterwards for a fall harvest. A wide range of insects enjoy strawberries, including caterpillars, beetles, aphids, and thrips. To keep these at bay, use insecticidal soaps or spray-on neem products on the plants. Read the label to make sure that these are safe for home use.  Always follow the instructions on the label of the insecticide for proper use. Drape nets over the strawberries to keep birds from eating them. Strawberries are susceptible to many types of fungus, such as powdery mildew or grey mold. Buy a fungicide labeled for home use. It should state on the label if it is safe for strawberries. Follow the instructions on the label to use. If you notice any discolored or spotted leaves, pull or cut them off the plant to prevent the spread of disease. When ¾ of the strawberry is red, it's ready to pick. Take a bowl or basket to your plant or strawberry patch. Twist the stem to pick it...

Article in English: Give people the benefit of the doubt, even people of whom you might have a bad first impression. Everyone is fighting a big fight. Assume they have good reasons for being the way they are, doing what they do, and believing what they believe. It's too easy to come up with reasons to dislike someone, to disrespect someone, or to dismiss them. Instead, look for the spark and the warmth in people. Decide to like them, and it'll be much easier to show respect. Translate a person's quirks into strengths to help change your attitude. Instead of thinking, "That person is mouthy and egotistical" say "That person really speaks her mind. I like that spark." . Keep a lid on it sometimes. Learn to distinguish between confrontations that need to happen and silly arguments. You'll keep yourself sane and earn the respect of others by learning to keep quiet. Don't get dragged into the muck. Don't get mixed up in other peoples' business and create unnecessary enemies. Busybodies make quick enemies, usually because there's not enough going on to keep them occupied. Stay busy and keep your life full of interesting and engaging activities so you don't have the time and energy to worry about what your neighbors are doing, or how your classmates are doing on their homework. Take up new hobbies and spend less time on Facebook. Getting your stalk on is a good time filler, but it can breed resentments and jealousies where none need be. Giving people you don't like the cold shoulder may be the easiest way to avoid confrontations, but it can also be cruel and rude, especially in school or at work where everyone likes to feel included. You don't have to be best friends, but respect people by including them. Aim for at least one friendly attempt with people you don't especially like. "How are you today?" will at least show that you're trying. You might even change the way you feel.

Article in English: Give the glue gun a couple minutes to soften the glue. Once it’s been sufficiently melted, the glue will ooze out when you pull the trigger. For most glue guns, the heating process will take around two minutes. Larger and industrial-grade glue guns may require up to five minutes to heat the glue enough to make it easily dispensable.  Some glue guns will have on/off switches, while others won’t. If your model does, it will need to be placed in the “on” position before it will begin heating up the glue. Otherwise, it will start warming as soon as it is plugged in. Rest the glue gun on the wire support stand at its base when it’s not in use. Never lay an active glue gun on its side. Remove the nozzle from the item you just finished gluing. If the glue gun model you’re using has an on/off switch, flip it to the “off” position and set it aside. Allow the glue to dry for several minutes. The bond between the glued surfaces will solidify as the glue sets up. It can be helpful to hold your items with your hands or a clamp as the glue sets for a tight bond.

Article in English: Give your hands a thorough wash with antibacterial soap before putting in the eye drops. It is very important that you avoid introducing bacteria to the injured eye, otherwise you could cause an infection. Once open, discard the first bead of liquid. This is done to prevent any dirt or residue at the top of the dropper from coming in contact with the eye. The tissue will soak up any excess liquid that escapes from the eye. It's best to tilt your head backwards order to allow gravity to do its work and help the drop soak into the eye, rather than just drip out of it. You can administer eye drops while standing, sitting or lying down as long as your head is back. Look up and use the index finger of your non-dominant hand to pull down the lower eyelid of your injured eye. Squirt the eye drops into the lower lid.  As to how many drops you should squirt into your eye, follow the directions on the bottle or your physician's advice. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Wait a few minutes between drops if you need to put in more than one to make sure that the first drop gets absorbed and is not washed out by the second. Make sure the tip of the dropper does not make any direct contact with your eyeball, eyelid or eyelash, as this can introduce foreign bacteria into the eye. Once the drops are in, gently close your eye and keep it shut for 30 seconds. You could even keep your eyes closed for up to two minutes. This allows the eyedrop solution to spread across the eyelid and prevents it from leaking out of the eye. Just make sure not to squeeze the eye too tightly, as this can squeeze the ointment out and cause injury to the eye. Using a soft cloth or tissue, gently blot around your eye to remove any excess solution.

Nettoyez bien vos mains. Ouvrez le flacon de gouttes pour les yeux. Penchez légèrement votre tête vers l'arrière en tenant un morceau de tissu en dessous de l'œil blessé. Faites en sorte que les gouttes soient absorbées par l'œil. Fermez les yeux. Épongez le liquide qui peut s'écouler de l'œil.


Article in English: Give your new identity a name and develop a believable story for yourself. This will help you "get into character" better, and make your performance more natural. Develop a different sense of humor than you would normally have, start listening to different music, and developing different attitudes. If you're naturally liberal, imagine that you were a conservative Republican and adopt the style, attitudes, and demeanor of that character.  You can even consider working an accent into your disguise. Practice while you're by yourself and only speak in that accent in public. Change your accents periodically with different people to keep them guessing. Looking older or considerably younger is a particularly effective way to fool people. Dying your hair gray when you're young and working a stooped, hunched walk with a cane into your routine will render you unrecognizable to people who know you.  Putting a pebble into your shoe is uncomfortable, but if you're committed to disguising yourself, it can be a good way to ensure that you'll walk differently. Brace your knee with a brace to give yourself a natural limp. The most important part of a disguise is to not to attract attention to yourself. "Hiding in plain sight" is the best way to disguise yourself. Avoid making eye contact with people you know, keeping your head low and walking calmly and slowly. Looking as if you're busy, as if you're on your way somewhere in particular with something to do will ensure that you look inconspicuous. If you want to go for broke, consider dressing either ambiguously or as a convincing member of the opposite sex. Switch back and forth to keep your disguise varied.

Inform them if:  Your cat developed a swollen abdomen overnight or over the course of several days. Your cat developed a swollen abdomen over the course of several weeks or months. Your cat’s appetite is likely connected to their swollen abdomen. This is because an infection in the abdomen or other problems in the digestive system will impact whether your cat wants to or even has the appetite to eat.

Article in English: Give yourself a moment and take a deep, calming breath. In a peer pressure situation, emotions can get out of hand and make you say or do things you don't mean. Pausing for a moment will help you avoid a hasty response and better understand yourself in the moment. You might want to ask yourself, "What kind of person do I want to be? Would that person do this?" If the answer is no, it's likely you should not participate. People often get caught up in group mentality, but by expressing your personal feelings, you can connect with your friends/other players. This brings things from a group context to a personal one, making it easier for your friends to identify with you. You could say, "I love hanging out with you guys and I don't want to be a stick in the mud, but I really don't feel comfortable playing this game." Though honesty is almost always the best policy, if your friends/other players are determined to get you to play, an excuse can come in handy. This doesn't have to be a big fib, you could say something as simple as:  "My throat's been a little sore lately and I don't want to get anyone sick." "I'm really embarrassed, but I have a canker sore that's been bothering me so I can't play." There are plenty of group games you could play instead, and some of the other players might want to play these even more than 7 Minutes in Heaven. Some examples include Twister, charades, pictionary, UNO, and more. You may want to favor games that you know others in the group enjoy. You stand a better chance of playing a different game if others want to play.

Article in English: Giving voice to a child’s fear is a great way to begin the conversation. Have the child talk about what it is they fear about the fire alarm, why they have those fears, and how the fire alarm makes them feel. For example, you might ask them:   “What does the fire alarm make you think of?” "Are you afraid of the fire or the sound?” "Does the sound hurt your ears?” "What do you think a fire alarm means?” Everyone (even adults) can have fears, and sometimes kids need to be reassured of that. Share some of your own fears with the child, and talk about other fears.  Talk about the difference between bigger and smaller fears. How is the child’s fear of the fire alarm different from other, less debilitating fears? You do not need to call the fear “irrational” with the child. Talk about the value of overcoming fears in general. Ask the school about what sound the fire alarm makes. Industrial fire alarms make different noises, there is the familiar buzzing noise. Some buildings use fire alarms with voice evacuation or chime. If they do use these types of alarms, you can reassure to your kids that they don't have to be scared of fire drills. Have the child talk with friends and classmates as well. Peers can be a great source of strength for overcoming fears. Determine if the fear is severe enough to require the assistance of a mental health professional. Some kids can become so sensitive to the fire alarm, they become anxious and hyper-vigilant whenever the stove is on or a candle is lit. Find out which events trigger anxiety in the child and talk about those events. Common triggers might be:  Walking by the physical smoke detector in the home. Hearing the “beep” that signals a low battery in the smoke detector. Lighting a candle or a fireplace in the home. Smoke or steam coming from the stove during cooking. After taking note of the different triggers for your child’s anxiety, figure out what the origin of the phobia is. For example, is the child afraid of the sound of the alarm or the fire that the alarm represents? ...

Article in English: Glazed clay pots are a little trickier to drill into than their unglazed counterparts, but it can usually be done using glass and tile drill bits.  These drill bits have a spear point head, which allows then to cut into hard, brittle surfaces with less pressure. If you were to use a standard masonry drill bit, you would need to apply too much pressure to break through the hard glaze, and the pot would likely crack apart. The drill bit size should match the diameter of the desired hole. If you want to create a standard drainage hole in a medium sized pot, a 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) drill bit should work well enough. It isn't strictly necessary, but you might also want to consider using multiple sizes to further reduce the risk of causing breaks in the clay. Start with a 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) drill bit and gradually work your way up through larger sizes until you reach the final desired size. Place one to four strips of painter's tape or masking tape directly over the spot you plan to drill a hole into.  The use of tape is especially helpful with glazed clay surfaces, which tend to be somewhat slippery. This tape gives the surface just enough traction to help prevent the drill bit from slipping as you start drilling. One layer of tape should be enough in most cases, but multiple layers of tape will provide greater traction and are less likely to peel away during the process. If you do decide to work with several drill bit sizes, you should start with the 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) bit.  On the other hand, if you decide to use only one drill bit, simply attach that drill bit to your drill now. A cordless drill with variable speed is strongly recommended. This will offer you the most control while drilling, and the fact that the drill is cordless makes it safer to use around water than a corded drill. Moisten the surface you'll be drilling through with water. Try to keep that surface consistently wet throughout the entire drilling procedure.  If you're drilling into a recessed bottom, you can pour a small amount of water over...

Article in English: Go ahead and recite your speech until you remember all the important parts. You don't need to memorize every word of the speech. The crucial points you need to convey to the audience are what you should know by heart. Read the speech aloud, focusing on controlling your speech and movements so you sound natural. Memorizing a speech word-for-word is unhelpful because the audience can tell that you're reciting a script. Only use memorization and scripted words if you're painting a picture with your words or you need to tell a joke with comedic timing. Put aside your script and pick up your notes. Attempt to deliver your speech. This time, use your notes when you get stuck. Continue to adjust your speech patterns and movements to make them sound natural. Because you are using a minimal outline, your speech will sound a little different every time. However, it'll also sound more natural. Rehearse the speech until you know what to do and feel comfortable referring to your notes. You can ask your friends and family to listen again. They'll be impressed with how well you perform. You'll also feel more confident because you're prepared. You can time yourself again while giving the speech so you know exactly how long it is rather than making a guess. It can show you when you're going off-script too much. Keep in mind when you give the speech, you're bound to talk faster and the speech will be shorter.

Article in English: Go for clothing in shades of pink, purple, and red. Bright colors that are light and soft are considered girly. If you are not a big fan of pink, go for other colors like light blue or pastel yellow to appear girly. Look for dresses that cinch at the waist so they define your figure. You can also wear dresses that are A-line or more flowy for a soft, feminine look. Long skirts and short skirts are also good options.  Style flowy dresses with structured pieces, like a leather jacket or a fitted coat. Wear long skirts with a tailored top or collared shirt for a polished, feminine look. Being girly doesn’t mean you can only wear dresses or skirts. Invest in pants that sit at your waist and elongate your legs. Get skinny jeans as well as pants with a flare.  Avoid tapered jeans or pants that make you appear boxy, as they may be too masculine for a girly look. Look for pants in fabrics like leather, velvet, linen, and denim for a fun, girly look. Lace and velvet are classic fabrics for a girly look. Get crop tops or blouses made of lace. Look for sweaters and button ups made of velvet.  For a dash of femininity, look for tops with lace bows or velvet detailing. Tops made of sheer fabrics like chiffon and tulle are also fun for a girly look. For a girly look, invest in high heels to elongate your legs and give you some height. Look for platform heels or heels with cushioning inside to make them more comfortable.  If you are new to wearing heels, you may go for a lower heel first so you can get used to wearing them. Keep in mind you can still be girly if you prefer wearing flats. Flats that are have detailing like rhinestones, bows, or bright patterns can give you a more feminine look. Get a purse that fits comfortably on your shoulder or in your hand. Invest in a clutch for a night out in materials like velvet, leather, or pleather. You can also wear a tote bag made of leather or cotton for a more relaxed, girly look.

Article in English: Go on one-on-one outings to the mall or movies. Maybe go out in the evening. When you first see her (make sure you're alone to avoid any unwanted ears) say something like "Wow. You look beautiful." And smile. If you want to ask her out, then pick a place where you'll have some privacy, and a time when she won't have a lot of other stuff on her mind. Though you don't want to wait around forever to pop the question, you should work on finding some privacy, and making sure she'll be in a good mood. For example, don't pull her aside right before her big math test, or she'll be too distracted and stressed out to listen to you. Once you've found the time, get her alone, trying to be as casual as possible. If her friends are five feet away, you won't be able to have a good conversation. Don't make a big deal about it. Just give her a few compliments and tell her how much you like spending time with her. Let her know why she's special to you and that you're paying attention to all of the things that make her wonderful. Don't make her too embarrassed or lay it on too thick; just take a few minutes to make her feel like the special girl that she is. You can even gauge her reaction as you're doing this -- if she looks uncomfortable or like she's searching for the nearest exit, then you may not want to proceed. But if she's excited and looks like she wants to hear more, then you may be in luck. Don't spend too much time building up to it. Just tell her that you've really liked being her friend, but that you want to take your relationship to the next level. Make her see that you've really thought about it, and that, though you value your friendship, you're willing to take the risk to take your relationship to the next level. She will be flattered that you like her so much as a friend and that you've put enough thought into it to see that you do want something more from her.  Just say, "Would you like to be my girlfriend?" Or, "Would you like to go out with me?" You don't have to spend hours building up to this point. When...

Article in English: Go over your reading list and figure out exactly what books you need to read over the summer. Then make a list with the title of each book, and the number of pages that each one has. Finally, read the book jackets, or look online and find a quick summary of each book so you have some idea of what each one is about. You may want to mark books your are excited about with a cross or plus-sign next to the title, and books that seem less desirable with a circle or a minus-sign. When you plan your reading schedule, alternate between books you are eager to read and those you dread.  Putting off all of the books that you don't want to read until the very end is the surest way not to get them done. You can do so if you weren't assigned a reading list but feel like you would like to do some summer reading to keep your mind fresh, or prepare for college. Ask a teacher or librarian for guidance, or go online for suggestions.  UC Berkeley publishes a summer reading list intended for incoming freshman and other reading enthusiasts.  The American Library Association also publishes summer reading lists for younger children. If you are going to buy the books on your reading list, order them as soon as possible. If you are going to check books out from the library, remember that they may not all be there exactly when you want them, so start early, and be willing to reorder your list based on what is available.  Consider sharing books with friends in the same class. This will require a little more planning, but can really cut down on costs. Think about buying electronic copies of your books so you can read them on an e-reader or your phone, and take them wherever you go. Are you normally the one who works on things a bit at a time, or do you usually finish assignments in brief flurries of activity right before they are due? You are not likely to magically change your productivity style, especially over the summer, so make a plan that works for you. Get out a planner, or make yourself a calendar showing the days until school...

Article in English: Go through your belongings and set aside the items  you no longer want or need, or simply put items back where they belong. For instance, put clean clothes back in their drawers or hang them up. Make sure dirty clothes end up in a hamper. Toss out broken or badly worn items.  Go through your closets and remove clothes that no longer fit. Any clothes with stains, rips or tears should be put in a bag as well.  Old toys, games, broken items and unwanted items should be set aside to be given away or sold. Seek obvious clutter -- clutter on the floors and counters. For instance, if you have two knife blocks, you can probably give one away to make more counter space. Once you have set aside the items you don't want, separate them into a sell pile and give away pile. You may need separate bags or boxes for each category of item. List the gently used items on Craigslist or give them away to charity, a family member or friend Disorganized drawers and closets offer the illusion of a clean and tidy room because you can simply close the door and hide the mess. Yet, once you open the closet door, items come tumbling out, or you're unable to find anything in the messy closet. So, if you have drawers that you can barely close, then it's time to go through them and sort them.  Empty out the drawers completely and toss out anything broken. Set aside items that you may need like keys, and place stray items, such as batteries, that have been rolling around in the drawer in a basket for organization later.  Once you have it sorted, neatly place the items back in the drawer. Note if you need an organizer to help keep everything together neatly. You don't need to keep every bill or piece of mail forever.

Article in English: Go through your list of ideas and pull out ten favorites. Follow the steps below to evaluate each title. Examine each title. If there is no clear winner, narrow it down to your favorite four or five and repeat the process. Review the title with your editor, publisher, or a friend whose judgment and scrutiny you can trust. Would it attract the attention of people who would enjoy your work? Does it make sense? Is it memorable? Does it relate to the contents of your book? How does it sound? Does it have good flow and rhythm, making it easy and pleasant to say? If the title sounds strange, or is difficult to say, clumsy or just somehow not right this is likely an indication that this is not a good title. Keep your title as short as possible, no longer than a few words. Long titles are difficult to remember, and rarely reach out and grab a passing reader. If you think more detail, is necessary, attach a subtitle. For example, the cover of Wild Swans shows off the short, punchy title, and adds the informative subtitle Three Daughters of China in much smaller text. Authors may or may not have any involvement with cover art. But if you do, many find a little visualization helps. Sketch a simple book cover just to get an idea of the title's impression. Play with different arrangements of the title and your name. Does it pop out at you from the shelf? Is there a drawing that would work particularly well with the title?

Article in English: Go to a garden store or home improvement store and ask if they have concentrated vinegar products designed for garden use. When using stronger vinegar, it is advised to take extra caution such as wearing gloves and goggles.  Most weeds will die with regular vinegar, so use that first and only use horticultural vinegar if regular doesn’t work. Be careful not to get any on your skin as it can cause burns because of the higher concentration of acetic acid. Mix some dish soap into your sprayer or spray bottle. Using around a teaspoon (5 ml) per quart (liter) of vinegar is a good amount. The dish soap will help the vinegar stick to the weeds and not run off.  Gently stir the soap into the vinegar, but don’t shake the bottle too much or the soap will get sudsy rather than mixing into the vinegar. It is not necessary to carefully measure out the dish soap. Squirt an amount that seems close to a teaspoon per quart. Salt may not affect all weeds, but it can dry out some weeds faster than plain vinegar. You can add salt to the mixture that already has dish soap in it. Use cheap table salt rather than rock salt, Epsom salt, or sea salt.  Salt tends to stay in the soil for a while and can have long-term effects on healthy plant life. If you are killing weeds in an area where you’ll plant again, it is probably best to avoid the salt. On the other hand, if you are killing weeds in an area that you want to prevent future growth, salt can help achieve this. It is especially important to clean a sprayer in which you added salt because it will clog up the parts and can even corrode the sprayer.

Summary in French:

Achetez du vinaigre concentré. Ajoutez du liquide vaisselle. Ajoutez du sel.

Type the address of the website (e.g., www.website.com) into the search bar in the upper-right side of the page, then click WHOIS to the right of the text box. You'll find this near the middle of the page. This heading is at the top of a box that contains information about the webmaster, including the proper email address at which to contact them. You should see an email address to the right of the "Email" heading; this is the address that you'll use to file your request. Open a new email window in your preferred email inbox, then type the "Email" heading's address into the "To" text box. In the email's main text box, politely request that the webmaster remove the post from their website.  Your request should be brief. For example, you might send "Hello, I notice that you posted [content about you] on [date]. I would like to request that you remove it from your site, as [reason for wanting the content deleted]. Best, [Name]" If the post is illegal, you can ditch manners in favor of explaining the post's illegality, though you may instead want to contact an attorney to do the work for you. Never threaten legal action if the content that you want to remove isn't illegal to post. Once you've proofread and confirmed your email, send it to the webmaster. You should expect to hear back from within a few days to a couple of weeks. This step largely depends on the website itself. If the website is large enough, you may not receive an email, or the email that you do receive may be automated. In this case, just check the website after a few days to see if your content is gone.

Article in English: Go to the doctor or emergency room immediately if you experience sudden chest pain, or any other symptoms of a collapsed lung like difficulty breathing, nasal flaring, chest tightness, and easy fatigue.  If there was any blunt trauma to your chest, a doctor should be seen if shortness of breath and chest pain occurs, or if you cough up any blood.  A collapsed lung can be caused by a variety of factors. Most often, it is the result of trauma to the chest or ribcage. It can also be caused by air pressure changes and certain pre-existing medical conditions like asthma, cystic fibrosis, and tuberculosis.  Call 911 for immediate medical services if there is any significant chest pain or shortness of breath. A collapsed lung can deteriorate rapidly, so the sooner you seek medical care the better.  You will undergo tests when you get to the ER, a doctor will perform a variety of tests to diagnose a collapsed lung. The doctor will examine your chest, listening with an stethoscope. He or she will also check your blood pressure, which will likely be low as a result of a collapsed lung, and look for symptoms like blueness of the skin. A definitive diagnosis is usually made with an x-ray. Your doctor will decide what treatment is best for you based on the type and severity of a collapsed lung.  Your doctor might recommend observation and bed rest as treatment if the collapsed lung is mild and can heal on its own. This usually takes about one to two weeks of observation, rest, and doctor's appointments.  If the lung collapse is severe, a needle and chest tube will be needed to remove the air. A needle, attached to a syringe, is inserted in the chest cavity. The excess air is pulled out by a doctor, much like a syringe is used to draw blood. Then, a tube will be placed into the chest cavity to keep the lung re-inflated for a few days. If a chest tube and needle treatment fails to work, your doctor might recommend surgery as a treatment option. In most cases, surgery is relatively non-invasive and can be performed via small...

Article in English: Go to your nursery, check out a seed catalog or look for seeds online to pick out your pumpkin seeds. You can try to plant seeds that came from a pumpkin you bought at the store and carved or ate, but there's no telling whether they'll grow well in your area. Your best bet is to pick out a fresh packet of seeds to start your pumpkin patch.   Pie pumpkins are used for making pies or roasting. Good varieties to start with include Baby Pam, Winter Luxury or New England Pie.  Jack-O'Lantern pumpkins are larger and less flavorful than pies. If you want to grow pumpkins large enough to carve, try Howden, Rock Star or Connecticut Field.  Miniature pumpkins are grown for decorative purposes. Jack-Be-Littles are a good choice if you want some tiny orange pumpkins in time for fall holidays. Pumpkins take 75-100 days to grow from a seed before you can harvest them. Count backwards from the date you'd like to harvest, and plant at that time. Most pumpkin gardeners aim to have their pumpkins ready for harvest in time for fall. In order to do this, you'll need to figure out the right time to plant your seeds according to what climate you live in. Pumpkins grow more quickly in hotter weather, so if you plant them too early in the year, they'll be here and gone long before Halloween.  If you live in a place with cold winters and mild summers, planting in late May after the last chance for frost has passed is your best bet. This way your pumpkins will be ready in time for fall. If you live in a place with long, hot summers, you can put your pumpkins in the ground in July and have them ready for Halloween. If your primary reason for growing pumpkins is to have them as a food crop, and you don't mind having them ready to eat before the fall, you can start the seeds indoors 3 weeks before the last frost date in your area, so they'll be ready to put in the ground as soon as it warms up. To start seeds indoors, simply sow single seeds in four-inch peat seed pots filled with seed starting mixture (not soil). Keep the pots well...

Article in English: Going on a road trip means you’ll be spending a lot of time in your vehicle, and you’ll need space to store things ranging from luggage to snacks. Cleaning out your car will not only make the ride more comfortable, it will help you stay organized when you need to find things. To legally drive in the United States, you’ll need to have at least a valid driver’s license and an up to date vehicle registration. Most states also require proof of insurance. Find out what the requirements are where you’ll be traveling, and make sure you meet them.  Driving without the appropriate documentation can lead to fines or even having your car impounded. Keep those important documents somewhere you can easily access in case you get pulled over. At the very least, you should have the tools you need to change a flat tire (emergency jack, tire iron, and spare tire) but you may want to prepare for other potential emergencies as well. Other things you may want are jumper cables, road flares, extra blankets, water, food, rain gear, or a flashlight.  It’s also a good idea to carry a first aid kit. You may want to tailor some emergency supplies to your family or time of year. For instance, you may want to carry cat litter to help on slippery roads during the winter.

Article in English: Going to bed early may cause you more anxiety and restlessness. Studies suggest that going to bed at the same time every night can help your body stay on schedule, which can go a long way toward helping you remain well-rested and healthy. If your body is too hot or too cold, you might be adding physical stress to an already restless night. Sleep studies have found that a room temperature between 60-67 degrees Fahrenheit (or 15.5-19.4 degrees Celsius) is the ideal range for restful REM sleep.  Check that windows are open or closed as needed, to allow for appropriate cooling and heating. Do this before getting into bed. Try using a fan. It will provide your room with white noise while also keeping you comfortably cool. If you've already got a lot on your mind, dwelling on everything you'll need to do in the morning will only make it worse. Take preventative action and finish any packing, cleaning, or laundry you'll need for the morning well before your head hits the pillow. Light reduces your body's production of melatonin, which helps you fall asleep. Avoid watching television and using computers, tablets, or smart phones before bed. You can also put your devices in night mode to block sleep-disrupting blue light that is present in many electronic devices.

Article in English: Gold is the traditional symbol for 50th wedding anniversaries and it is common to give your spouse something made from gold. Here are a few ‘golden’ ideas to get you started:  Gold jewelry of any type (ex. earrings, necklaces, rings, watches, cufflinks, or tie clips). Champagne glasses trimmed in gold. Clothing trimmed in gold or of gold lace. A gold nugget. Fifty years is a long time to be married and chances are you share a lot of important memories with your spouse. Look for something sentimental that reflects your relationship or is a reminder of your wedding day. For example, you could celebrate your 50th wedding anniversary by purchasing a new set of wedding rings or have the diamonds reset into new rings, if the old bands are worn. Another meaningful gift would be to take your spouse on a special vacation. Perhaps you could take your spouse to the same spot where you spent your honeymoon or to a destination they have always wanted to go to. Despite the fact that this is your golden anniversary your spouse may not want something made from gold. Instead, you can look to get them something that is meaningful, such as a framed picture of the family. Violets are the flower that is associated with 50th wedding anniversaries because the leaves of a violet are heart shaped and the flower is purple in colour. You could give your spouse violets in a golden vase to combine two of the 50th wedding anniversary traditions.

Article in English: Good friends are hard to find—don't let the conflict fester for too long or you could lose a great companion. If you value the friendship, address your friend's jealousy directly. Bring up the envious comments tactfully—instead of accusing them of being green with envy, acknowledge that these negative statements concern and hurt you. Note that you are worried about the status of your friendship and alarmed by the shift in their demeanor. Communicate your feelings clearly and listen attentively to your friend's response.  Ask your friend how they are doing personally. Are they struggling at school, home, or work? Are their parents fighting? Did they just get out of a relationship? Were they passed over for a great opportunity? Are they coping with these challenges by acting out in jealousy towards you? Do they think your life is so much better or easier than their life? Ask if you did something to offend or upset them. Did you forget their last birthday? Did you fail to text or call them back? Did you host a party and forget to invite them? Did you gloss over their most recent success? Use I statements to express your feelings and concerns. “I felt hurt when you said _____.” Do not transform your I-statements into You-statements with the words “should” and “ought” or the phrases “I feel that” or “I feel like you.”  Practice active listening. Put away all forms of distractions. Maintain eye contact with your friend, while leaning forward and tilting your head slightly. Do not interrupt your friend. Throughout the discussion, your friend's explanation or justification for their jealous comments and actions may surprise you. While you might perceive that your friend's behavior is driven by jealousy, your friend may insist that they are not envious of you at all. Your friend's critical words may be due to their disapproval of your actions or a new relationships. Or, perhaps the source of your friend's jealousy seems completely ludicrous to you. Instead of disputing their claim, listen carefully to their...

Article in English: Good housekeeping is a must when it comes to being neat and tidy, and the kitchen is one of the places that should be kept clean to keep out bugs and maintain a clean food prep area. Bacteria grows on counters when they are not kept clean, which can make you sick if you prepare meals on them.  Put things back where they belong. If you have bags of chips by the microwave, put the bag of chips in the pantry. If you have spices laying around your counters, put them up in the shelf along with the sugars and starches. Wipe off the counters and sweep the floors to clean up any crumbs. You don't want bugs crawling around.  Wash the dishes. Dishes piled in the sink instantly makes the room look messy and it's also unsanitary.  Take out the trash and recycling.

Article in English: Good nutrition decreases the risk of significant health problems for both you and your baby. The oft quoted phrase ‘eating for two’ conjures up images of vast platters of food and multiple meals throughout the day. In truth, you only need to consume about 300 calories more per fetus, per day.  Therefore, if you’re pregnant with a single baby you should eat 300 extra calories, for twins you should eat 600 extra calories, and for triplets you should eat 900 extra calories per day. These numbers will vary slightly depending on your starting weight before pregnancy, but will remain close to 300 calories. The calories you consume should be healthy calories—not those from junk food or fast food. One of the primary goals of eating more is to supplement your body and the child with the vitamins and minerals necessary for development. The recommended amount of vitamin C for pregnant women is 70 mg per day. However, it is best to get this from natural foods rather than pills and supplements. Aim to eat 3-4 servings of these foods per day. You can get lots of vitamin C from citrus fruits, papaya, strawberries, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, and red peppers (among other foods). Eating protein is always important, but when you’re pregnant you should aim to eat 2-3 servings of protein a day. Protein is primarily responsible for blood production and cell growth, both your own and your baby’s. Great sources of healthy proteins include eggs, Greek yogurt, legumes (beans), tofu, peanut butter, and lean meats. Calcium is vital to pregnant women, and many don’t get nearly as much as they need. Although there is normally some calcium in prenatal supplements, you should try to consume an additional 1000 milligrams of calcium per day. By consuming more calcium, you’ll be aiding in your child’s bone and nerve development.  Great sources of calcium include yogurt, hard cheeses, milk, and spinach. Vitamin D is important to consume as well, as it is required for your body to absorb calcium. It is found in most of...
