Article in English: Though freshmen in high school aren't quite as outgoing as freshmen on a college campus, you should still try your hardest to be friendly before people fall into their normal social circles and are less open to meeting someone new. So, say hi to the girl in your Spanish class, be friendly with your new lab partner, and get to know the people in your home room -- you may be sitting next to them for the next four years, after all.  Get to know the people in your gym class. You may not run in to some of them academically. Make new friends with people who sit at your lunch table. Though you may be worried about finding the place and group where you really fit in right away, you should explore your options as much as you can. There will be the popular kids, the nerds, the cool nerds, the jocks, the stoners, and all of the other groups you may come to expect -- but you don't have to neatly fit into one category. Don't jump to conclusions and get to know as many people as you can first.  Though many people do remain friends with the same social group throughout high school, social dynamics and circumstances do change. If you find that your new social group isn't the right fit for you after a few months but made no effort to get to know anyone else, then you'll be out of luck. Being as involved as you can in a variety of clubs and sports can help you broaden your horizons and meet as many people as possible. Though it's important to be open-minded, try avoiding the kind of people who will get you into trouble by making you smoke, cut class, or cheat on tests. Though you may have met your dream lover in your first period physical science class, it's wiser to hold off before you start sending the kid any love notes. If you get wrapped up in a high school relationship right away, you won't have time to branch out, make friends, and figure out what actually makes you happy. Also, let's face it: 98% of high school relationships don't last, so you could put yourself in an awkward situation when you break up and all you...

Article in English: Though it’s a mild natural cleanser, vinegar will typically be potent enough to deal with most stains when applied heavily and given time to set up. Spray the tub down thoroughly, let the vinegar sit for a few minutes, then scrub away the stains using a sponge or stiff-bristled brush. If you discover that vinegar isn't having the desired effect, you can move on to more intensive methods. There will come a point when simply adding more and more vinegar won’t suffice. Products like Lysol All Purpose Cleaner, Kaboom, Shout! and Scrubbing Bubbles shower cleaner are good for eating away at tough stains without damaging delicate surfaces. Since most of these products contain a similar combination of ingredients, any of them will work as well as another. Just make sure whatever product you choose doesn’t contain bleach, as this can severely weaken the outer enamel layer of the tub.  Only buy cleaners that have been approved for use on enamel-coated bathroom surfaces. Be sure to check the label carefully before buying a particular cleaning product so you'll know you’re getting what you need. If possible, open a nearby window, open the door, and turn on a fan to ventilate the bathroom while you clean with any of these products. If you're reluctant to go shopping, you can formulate a simple all-purpose bathroom cleaner at home by mixing together warm water, baking soda, Castile soap and essential oils in a spray bottle. All of these ingredients are readily available and safe to use but are quite potent when brought together. Once they're combined, spray the mixture onto the stained surface and give it a few minutes to take effect before wiping it away.  If you're having trouble tracking down Castile soap, hydrogen peroxide will make an acceptable substitute. Essential oils like tea tree and peppermint can also act as natural disinfectants. Mist on the solution and give it a chance to sit. Pay special attention to places with heavy staining and discoloration. The cleaning solution should get to work dissolving these...

Article in English: Though it’s not mandatory for you to get a high school diploma to become a baker, having one can help you become a more desirable candidate. For one thing, high school will help you learn basic math, as well as other concepts that can help you in your profession. Additionally, you may choose to go to culinary school to get a leg up in your field, and you’ll need a high school diploma to do that. Though it may not be worth it for you to go back to high school to become a baker, if you’re still in high school, you should finish the course. While you’re in high school, you should take home economics, cooking, or other baking-related elective courses to help you get a head start on your passion and career. A technical or culinary school can help you improve your craft, learn more techniques, and to find your niche as a baker. These programs typically last from 1 to 2 years and they will give you an education in nutrition, health, and mathematics, among other relevant subjects. If this sounds like the best path for you, look into programs in your area that offer a reasonable financial package and take your studies seriously.  You shouldn’t look at this experience as slowing you down from being a real baker. You can even begin working as an apprentice or trainee in your area while being in school, if you can make the time commitment for both. If you want to be a high end pastry chef, for example, then you should get trained at the best program you can afford. This kind of work is highly specialized and extra training will give you the edge you need to get noticed and hired. You can be a trainee at a local store or supermarket, where you’ll learn more basic cooking skills, like how to bake a variety of cookies, or you can become an apprentice at an artisan bakery, where you’ll learn more complicated skills, like how to bake cakes. This training typically takes 1-3 years, and you may be able to find an apprenticeship for aspiring bakers at a bakery in your area. Of course, it always helps to have some connections, or...

Article in English: Though measuring your fundal height doesn't take long, it does typically require an office visit. Being at the doctor's office also gives you the added benefit of being able to immediately discuss the results of your fundal height test with your doctor, should anything out of the ordinary be found. Depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy, your doctor may ask you to empty your bladder. The reason for this is that starting at around the 17-week mark, a full bladder can cause the fundal height measurement to off by a matter of centimeters. Fundal height measurements are fairly precise - a discrepancy of only a centimeter or two can make the difference between a "normal" measurement and an "abnormal one". Clothes, belts, and so on can cause small differences in your fundal height, so they are typically removed before measuring. Changing into a hospital gown minimizes the possibility of an inaccurate result and additionally offers your doctor the ability to easily access all areas needed for a good fundal height measurement. Your doctor will ask you to lay in a semi-recumbent position (this is simply laying on your back with your head slightly elevated). The semi-recumbent position makes it easy for the doctor to feel for your uterus by palpating the skin near your belly button. Before the actual measurement takes place, your doctor or his nurse or midwife will palpate your pregnant uterus to determine the baby's size, the baby's positioning and the baby's presentation. The doctor, nurse, and/or midwife will also check the volume of amniotic fluid and also attempt to identify the uterine fundus - the point on your stomach where the "top" of the uterus can be felt. After the palpation, the doctor will hold a metric-based measurement tape at the top of the uterus (or fundus) and stretch it along the top of your pregnant uterus, measuring along the longitudinal axis.  This means that the doctor will measure from the highest point of your uterus to the top of your symphysis pubis (the area located below...

Article in English: Though people may lie for many different reasons, in general, people tell lies to hide something from another person, to hurt another person, or to make themselves seem greater or better than they really are. It may be helpful for you to consider which reason may be motivating your boyfriend to lie to you. If your boyfriend is lying to you to keep something from you, it may be useful to approach his lie as a way to reveal a truth he is hiding. If you and your boyfriend are just starting to date seriously, he may lie to you to hype himself up to you and make himself seem more worthy of your attention. However, if you think your boyfriend may be motivated to lie to you to hurt you, you may want to consider if his lies are a red flag that there are other issues in the relationship that need to be addressed. If you have complained about your boyfriend's behavior before, you may feel like you are partly to blame for him covering up his bad habit or behavior. But it's important to remember that you are not to blame for your boyfriend's lies, as only your boyfriend can be responsible for his behavior. Part of being an adult in a mature relationship is being willing to take responsibility for one's own actions. Your boyfriend should be willing to take the blame for his lies and you should not feel you are responsible for his choices. No one can be "made" to lie, it is a choice they make and it is their responsibility to own up to their choice. Keep this in mind as you try to deal with your boyfriend's lies. If you catch him in a lie or notice telltale signs he is lying when he is speaking to you, think about what you were talking about together that triggered the lie or motivated him to lie. You could be discussing an event you were both supposed to attend together, but he backed out at the last minute, or you may be talking about a person he works with.  Thinking about the context of the lie may also help you determine why he felt the need to lie to you. This way, when you confront him, you can explain why you think...

Article in English: Though some disorders (such as narcolepsy, in which people fall asleep unexpectedly during waking hours) are obvious and observable, you may suffer from a disorder that you don't even know about. Sleep apnea is a disorder in which people stop breathing in their sleep, causing them to wake up throughout the night, never understanding what woke them up. The American Sleep Apnea Association estimates that of the 22 million Americans believed to suffer from sleep apnea, 80% of sleep-disruptive cases go undiagnosed — so get yourself checked! Even if you don't have a sleep disorder, there are any number of underlying medical conditions which may be waking you up intermittently throughout the night. For example, people who suffer from acid reflux often suffer from insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless leg syndrome. Men who suffer from enlarged prostates will wake throughout the night with the urgent need to urinate.  Describe your sleep disruption to a medical professional and ask for their advice on what medical condition might be causing your problem. This will likely involve a blood test, and if the doctor discovers a medical issue, their suggested treatment might range from a simple change in your diet to surgery. To avoid acid reflux, skip foods like citrus, chocolate, fatty and fried food, garlic, onion, tomato, spicy foods, and drinks containing caffeine. Over the counter medications for acid reflux or heartburn will not treat the underlying cause of the problem, but will spot-treat the symptoms if taken before bedtime. The best thing you can do to figure out what your body needs for healthy sleep is to keep track of it through a sleep diary. With time, you’ll be able to figure out which habits keep you from getting a good night’s sleep and which ones ensure it.  Use the National Sleep Foundation’s template for a sleep diary. Take a few minutes every day to fill it out, making sure to be thorough and to not skip any days. Analyze the data from your sleep diary. Look for any patterns: do you sleep through the...

Article in English: Though the exact cause of essential tremor is unknown, it may be passed down through family genes. If any of your family members have essential tremor, such as a parent, you are more likely to have the gene that causes essential tremor. This is called familial tremor, where one parent has the gene, making you more susceptible to the condition. Ask your parents if they have essential tremor. Speak to your family members to determine if they have essential tremor or if it runs in your family. You can also note if any of your family members are starting to show signs of the condition. The symptoms tend to appear in people over the age of 65, though they can start to manifest in middle age. Look for symptoms like:  Head nodding. Shaking or quivering of their arms, head, and eyelids. A shaking or quivering sound to their voice, as the tremor can affect their voice box. Difficulties writing, drawing, drinking from a cup, or using tools. The tremors may come and go but often get worse over time. They may or may not affect both sides of the person's body in the same way. If you suspect you may have inherited the gene for essential tremor, speak to your doctor about getting a test for the gene. Your doctor will test a swab taken from the inside of your mouth to see if you have the genetic mutation that causes essential tremor. Genetic testing does not change treatment or management options, but it can help you predict whether or not you are genetically predisposed to having essential tremor.

Article in English: Though there is no way to pinpoint the exact arrival of an earthquake, scientists can examine sediment samples to get an idea of when major earthquakes occurred in the past. By measuring the amount of time between events, they can come up with a rough idea of when a major quake might hit.  Cycles can stretch for hundreds of years--it may be 600 years (or more or less) between major earthquakes along a fault--but there's no way to truly know if or when the next big quake will occur.  If the nearest fault line still has 250+ years in its cycle before another big earthquake, allow that to give you some solace. But do remember that there are no hard and fast rules for predicting earthquakes, so you should have an emergency kit prepared just in case. Right now Japan, Mexico, and California are the only areas that provide official earthquake early warnings, though research is being conducted to expand these systems to include places near fault lines. Even with systems in place, they can only provide tens of seconds of advance warning before an earthquake. There are, however, services that will send you text messages alerting you of natural disaster occurrences or warnings in your area, including earthquakes.  These alert messages can provide you with instructions in an emergency, including evacuation routes and available emergency shelters. Your city may have a warning system in place, such a sirens followed by a warning or instructions. Make sure you know if your town or city has such a warning system. Not sure if that rumbling you felt was a big truck outside, or construction, or even just a weird dream? You can verify earthquakes online with tracking websites such as USGS and apps such as myShake, which will show you where and when any earthquakes were recorded and the magnitude of each quake.

Article in English: Though thrush can be painful for your child and difficult for you as his parent, know that in most cases thrush is not particularly harmful to the child. Some cases of thrush clear up without medical treatment within one to two weeks. More severe cases may take up to eight weeks to heal without treatment, while a pediatrician's care can help thrush heal in as little as four to five days. However, sometimes thrush involves more serious complications, and could be indicative of a more severe problem. Contact your pediatrician immediately if your child:  Has a fever  Exhibits any kind of bleeding  Is dehydrated, or drinking less than normal  Has trouble swallowing or breathing Has any other complications that you find worrisome Prolonged sucking on a bottle's nipple may irritate your infant's mouth, making him more prone to an oral yeast infection. Limit bottle time to 20 minutes per meal. In severe cases of thrush some infants may be unable to use a bottle due to mouth pain. If this occurs you may need to switch to a spoon or syringe instead of a bottle. Talk with your pediatrician to find the best way to avoid further irritating your infant's mouth. Pacifiers are a great way to soothe an infant, but the constant sucking associated with pacifier use may cause irritation to your child's mouth and make him more prone to a yeast infection. If your child has or has had thrush, only give him a pacifier when nothing else will calm him down. To prevent the spread of thrush, it is important you keep milk and prepared bottles in the refrigerator to prevent yeast growth. You must also clean nipples, bottles, and pacifiers thoroughly with hot water or in a dishwasher. If a nursing mother develops thrush from taking antibiotics or steroid treatments, she may need to stop taking those medications or reduce the dosage until the thrush clears up. However, this should only be done if discontinuing or reducing the dosage of antibiotics or steroids will not cause medical complications for the mother. Talk to your doctor if you...

Article in English: Though you may think you are the picture of health, it would be wise to visit your doctor for a check up before you go. Explain that you are about to take on a high altitude hike, so you want to make sure there aren't any underlying health issues you should be concerned about. Ideally, you should schedule this visitation before you begin your training so you don't set yourself up for a disappointment a week before your hike. How much planning you need to do depends on where you are hiking. If you're following a well-known hiking trail, you can contact the organization responsible for it's maintenance. They will usually send you maps and safety information about the routes you are interested in (sometimes in exchange for a minimal fee). If you are planning to hike through relatively uncharted territory, then planning your route will require considerably more attention.  You need to ensure that you are allowed to hike in the area. The land you want to hike on may be privately owned, which means there may or may not be an agreement allowing you to hike there. Therefore, you should contact the local area commissioner. Tell them about your planned route, and ask them if you will be violating any laws by hiking there. Don't forget to consider the time of year. During the winter, the days are shorter, and you won't have as much daylight so you won't be able to hike for as long. On the other hand, if you are hiking in a very hot climate, it may not be advisable to hike during the hottest part of the day. It is recommended that you do not hike for more than six hours each day. Be sure that you understand what all map symbols mean, and ensure that your planned route does not take you through terrain that you cannot cross. For example, if you plan to cross a river, where will you be able to cross safely? Have at least one detailed, alternative route. Ideally, you will have two or three routes, but you must have at least one. In case of emergency, you need to know how you can find help quickly. You also need to have...

Article in English: Though you might have been together for over a year, or even five, that doesn't mean that he's ready to marry you. Some men want to get married eventually, but only when they are ready. The concept of "ready" is complicated and often involves a feeling that he has "played the field," had adventure, had independent fun, is financially stable, is mature and now ready to settle down. All of these are valid reasons and you shouldn't ignore him and force him to do something that he's just not ready to do.  See if he's committed to you in any way other than calling you his girlfriend. This could mean moving in with you, sharing a pet with you, moving to a new location with you, or even putting himself in the same exact social circle as you. See if he's had other relationships. If he's had significant dating experience before, then you shouldn't be jealous, but fortunate that he's had some experience with women and is more likely to feel less interest in "playing the field" and seeing what else is out there. Every relationship is different, and many couples who got engaged after being together for just a year or two can have marriages that are just as successful as those of couples who waited five or ten years to get married. If it's not the right time in your man's life, then it doesn't matter how long you've been together.  If he's still trying to figure out his career, if all of his buddies are still single and not even really dating, or if he still has a lot of personal issues to sort out, then it may not be the best for him to marry you. If he's not feeling stable personally, financially, or even physically, then his mind may be on other things. Still, keep in mind that there's no perfect time to get married. If it hasn't felt like "the right time" for years, then there may be bigger problems. If you want to get your long term boyfriend to propose, then you should make sure that he can't imagine his life without you. Sure, you've been together for three years, but does that mean he wants to be with you for...

Article in English: Though your costume is almost finished, you will need a few more accessories to pull of the classic Peter Pan look. If you have a brown belt, cinch it across your waist over the green tunic. You can also tie a length of brown fabric or a rope at your waist if you don’t want to buy a belt. Peter Pan carries a small dagger at his side in a holster attached to his belt. Buy a small toy dagger at a Halloween store or a costume shop. If it doesn’t come with a holster simply keep it at your side tucked into your belt. Since it's a toy, there’s no chance of it hurting you!  Don’t use a real knife. Even if you want to pull of a great costume, it’s not worth the risk of accidentally poking yourself! You can also make a dagger out of cardboard and paint it to look like a knife. Wear a pair of brown or tan shoes with your costume, preferably moccasins or short boots. If you don’t have the perfect pair of shoes, don’t worry too much: people will be so impressed with your costume that they probably won’t be looking at your feet.

Article in English: Thoughts usually run out of habit so will pop up again, when you stop being aware. Resolve to let those go as well as not only do you have to stop the chain, you have to prevent new ones. This will involve not only being aware, but making a conscious effort to change the habit. Research suggests that it takes around 21 to 66 days to change a habit, depending upon the person and the habit you're looking to change. what's going on to develop an insight and an understanding of how thoughts and feelings control you. By watching the thoughts, it doesn't take too long to see there is two distinct things happening - a theme and a process. The process is the thinking or expressing feelings.  The mind doesn't always need a theme to think, that's when the mind chatters away over what seems an illogical and fairly wild stream of thought. The mind is using thought just like a pacifier or a distraction and often does it when there is physical pain, when it is afraid or trying to protect itself from something. If you watch the mind like a machine, you can sometimes see the mind just grabbing whatever it can find or sense to use as a theme or topic of thought. Theme based thinking is much more obvious, you might be angry, worried or have a particular feeling over an issue and you think about that issue. These thoughts tend to be repetitive and focused just on the theme at hand. The difficulty is that there is a pretty central problem: essentially the mind has to be disinterested or disenchanted with the theme & process of thinking or emotionally feeling. Often this is helped greatly by recognizing that the theme and the feeling or thought process at hand is not helping us at the moment. There are a lot of feelings & thought subjects we don't want to let go of or view as being stressful because we often want to explore the themes and issues they represent (such as when being angry, or being anxious etc, we want to think about the who, where, what, why etc). This specific "wanting to think about" or just "wanting to think",...

Check first before throwing them away. Use your hands to separate the shells. Throw way the orange top shell. Keep the apron, which is the underside of the crab. Flip the cooked crab on its shell. The belly should be facing up. Use your hands, a paring knife, or even a claw to pull the apron back. Put your tool of choice under the apron, lift the apron, break it off, and then discard it. Male crabs have a thin apron. A female crab’s apron is wider and rounder. The gills are not edible, so discard them. The yellow “mustard” is called the hepatopancreas, which is a main component of the blue crab's digestive system. It is edible and considered a delicacy to some, but often thrown away. Once it is broken in half, break each half in half again. You can use a paring knife, or you can use your hands. Take on half of the crab, squeeze it, and then pull it open. Dig out as much meat as you can. Put the claw on the table with the pincers facing up.  Place the knife just behind the joint, take the mallet, and hit the knife gently until the shell cracks. Then, pull the shell off. The meat should come out whole. If this doesn’t work, use your knife and dig the meat out.

Article in English: Thumb-sucking is a normal, natural behavior for many children, and is something they do to comfort themselves and alleviate anxiety. Most children will give it up before starting kindergarten. However, if you notice any of the following, it might be a problem:   Dental problems: Thumb-sucking can sometimes affect a child's bite by causing an overbite, the alignment of their teeth, or the way the roof of their mouth develops.  Social problems: Children who suck their thumb may be teased, ostracized or bullied.  Medical problems: Persistent thumbsucking can cause the skin on the thumb to shrivel, crack, or chap. It can prevent the nail from growing properly, or occasionally even a sore thumb caused by infections under and around the nail bed. Your child might not even be aware that they are sucking their thumb. If your child tends to suck their thumb absent-mindedly, give a gentle reminder. Speak calmly and gently to your child and try not to get upset or angry with them when they suck their thumb. Avoid scolding them or shaming them, especially in front of their siblings or other peers.You might have a special cue or hand sign to alert your child of their thumbsucking. This can be helpful if you do not wish to embarrass your child around other children. Young children especially love rewards, so this is a great way to encourage target behaviors in your child. Set up a simple reward system that tracks their progress and rewards them from abstaining from thumbsucking. Adjust the target behaviors as necessary, such as thumbsucking 10 times per day, then lowering that number after a week. Also, make sure to explain to your child that thumbsucking is okay, it is just not something that older children do. This will help them to understand why they are being rewarded. For example, put a sticker on the calendar for every night your child sleeps through the night without sucking their thumb. At the end of a week with no thumbsucking, give your child a small reward or prize - an extra bedtime story or a small toy.

Article in English: Ticks need damp and shade to stay alive. Clear your yard of leaf litter and shady hiding places. Keep grass mowed short. Rodents and deer can transport ticks. Keep them away by tightly covering all trash and food kept outdoors. Use a fence to keep away deer. If your yard is next to the woods, create a three foot wide border of dry mulch or gravel. This prevents plant growth, and makes it much harder for ticks to enter your yard. Give the ticks a parasite of their own to worry about. These microscopic worms are sold online, and come in many types. The ones sold as a tick treatment are completely harmless to humans and pets. Mix with water and spread over your yard. Keep the area moist for seven days while the worms get established. Look for Steinernema carpocapsae or Heterorhabditis bacteriophora if you have a deer tick (black-legged tick) problem. Ask a vet about nematodes for other types of ticks. Many pesticides are dangerous for pets, children, or local wildlife. If you decide to use them, hire a licensed pesticide applier for a yearly or twice-yearly visit. Before he begins, ask for a written plan with safety information, and for signs to post around your property. Permethrin, a common anti-tick pesticide, can kill cats and fish. Guinea fowl hunt and eat ticks. Deer ticks are often small enough to escape, but there should be many fewer than before. Be aware that guinea fowl can be very noisy.

The water should be about the same temperature that you use to make tea or coffee, generally at about 150° F (65° C). The temperature does not need to be precise. A rough estimate should work just fine. You can even use a kettle to help you get the water to about the right place. Place the bagged liner in the hot water and make sure it is submerged completely. Let it sit in the water for 15 to 20 minutes before stirring the line with a brush or cotton swab. Pat down the liner to make the surface smooth and allow the liner to cool before applying.

Article in English: Tilt the skillet in all different directions as it warms up to make sure your cooking surface is evenly coated. Wait for the oil to begin shimmering slightly before adding your shrimp.  For best results, choose an oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable, canola, peanut, or sunflower oil.  Be careful not to let your skillet get too hot, especially if you’re using butter. Doing so could cause your cooking fat to scorch, resulting in a burnt, acrid taste. You'll have the easiest time sautéing 1⁄4–1⁄2 pound (110–230 g) of shrimp at a time. If you like, you can throw 1⁄2–1 ounce (14–28 g) of minced garlic, sliced white onion, chopped parsley or shallots, or lemon zest into your skillet as it heats up. Cook your chosen ingredients until they just begin to soften and turn translucent. Be careful not to overcook your aromatics, or they could cause your shrimp to taste burnt. They’ll most likely only need about 30-45 seconds in the skillet. They’ll begin sizzling as soon as they touch the hot cooking surface. Keep the pan moving or stir the shrimp constantly to make sure they heat evenly. In a few short minutes, your shrimp will take on a soft pinkish-white color and a slightly crispy outer texture.  Feel free to dust your shrimp with about 1/2 of a teaspoon each of salt, pepper, chili powder, curry spice, and cayenne pepper at this point, or season them to your own personal taste.  Shrimp cook quickly, so make sure you don’t walk away and leave the skillet unattended, or they could burn. The shrimp will be hot when they first come out of the skillet. As difficult as it may be, try to hold off on eating them until they’ve had time to cool to a safe temperature. Enjoy!  Finish your sautéed shrimp with a drizzle of melted butter or a sprinkle of freshly-minced savory herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or dill.  Refrigerate your leftovers in an airtight container and try to consume them within 2-3 days.

Article in English: Times of extreme stress can cause your period to get delayed. Stress alters the function of your hypothalamus, the part of your brain that regulates your hormones and causes menstruation to happen. If you think stress could be the reason your period is late, take measures to decrease sources of anxiety in your life.  See if you can take a few days off of work or school. Spend the time relaxing, eating well and exercising. Cancel social obligations that may be stressing you out. Give yourself some "me" time. Try meditating or practicing yoga. If your stress is chronic, talk to someone who can help. Consider making an appointment with a therapist who can help you find a good solution. There's no scientific explanation for why taking a hot bath helps bring on a period, but many people find it works. Perhaps it's helpful because the warm water relaxes your body, easing physical and emotional stress at the same time. Give yourself time for a good, long soak in the bath when you want your period to start.  Try adding relaxing essential oils to the tub. Lavender, lemongrass and rose essential oils will help you destress as you bathe. Focus on letting your body completely relax and let go. Massage your legs, arms, face and scalp to improve your circulation. If you are 10 percent or lower below the normal body weight for your height, this can cause a disruption in your menstrual cycle. Many people find that allowing themselves to gain a little weight causes their cycles to become more regular.  Find out what's considered a healthy body weight for you by talking with your doctor. You could also use a Body Mass Index (BMI) calculator, but know that experts disagree on whether this calculation is an accurate measure of a person's health. If you have an eating disorder, such as anorexia or bulimia, seek treatment right away. These disorders are very difficult to correct on your own. In addition to disrupting your menstrual cycle, they can cause other long-term health problems. Many athletes who train every day experience...

Article in English: Times when your parents are busy, flustered, or angry are likely to result in a "no" to your phone request. Encourage a good mood in your parents before you ask, by being extra polite and doing any chores you might have before they ask. To improve your chances of a yes before you ask for your new phone, you also might:  Turn on your parents' favorite music Talk about an experience where you both had fun Do an activity your parents find enjoyable Generally speaking, people are more agreeable after they eat, and this might put your parents in a more favorable mood when you ask for your new phone. Weather can also make your parents more or less agreeable. Sunny days with clear skies will improve your odds of getting the phone you desire. Keep in mind that this won't always be the case. Your mom or dad could still have a bad day even if it's sunny out and you just had lunch. Your parents will be more likely to agree to your request for a new phone if you get them to first agree to a few small, related requests. For example, if your parents say that a new phone would cost a lot, ask if you could earn that money by doing chores, and then put it toward a new phone. If your parents are open to you doing extra work around the house or some other task to earn your phone, stay on top of your extra chores without being asked. This will show your parents that you are taking your agreement seriously, which will result in your parents taking it seriously as well.  It may take a while before you get your phone. Don't expect you to get your phone after just a week of doing chores; it may take longer than that. Don't worry if you slip up once or twice. As long as you show your parents that you are trying your hardest, they may give you some slack. While your parents might normally be unwilling to pay the cost of a new phone, a special day, like a gift-giving holiday, can be the ideal excuse to splurge on a present. During this time, be clear with your parents. Let them know that you'd rather have a phone than toys or gifts you...

Article in English: Tip your infant's head back and squeeze drops of an over-the-counter saline solution into their nostrils. Read the instructions to see how many drops you should use based on your baby's age and weight. Saline drops will help thin out the mucus and make it easier to remove. Have your baby lay flat on their back for 2-3 minutes. Then use a rubber bulb to suck out the loose mucus.  Boil the bulb for 3-5 minutes before you use it to clean and sterilize it. Allow it to cool completely before using it on your child. Before using suction, squeeze the bulb to release any air. Gently insert the tip of the syringe into your baby’s nose. Only place the syringe inside the nose ¼ to ½ inch (0.64 to 1.27 cm). Angle the tip towards the back and side of the nose. Squeeze to suck up the mucus, then gently remove the syringe from the baby’s nostril. The best times to do this are before feeding your baby or putting them to bed. Rub a thin coating of petroleum jelly on the outside of your baby's nose to reduce irritation, focusing on areas that look red, chapped, or sore. Avoid using any medicated nasal sprays on your baby because this can make the congestion worse. Mentholated topical ointments and rubs are not recommended for children under the age of 2. If your baby is truly struggling with congestion, talk to your doctor during your visit about non-medicated rubs formulated particularly for infants. A humidifier or cool-mist vaporizer sends moisture out into the room, which can reduce your baby's nasal inflammation and relieve stuffiness. Placing a humidifier in your sick infant's room may make it easier for him or her to fall asleep.  Make sure that you change the water each day and clean the machine as directed by the manufacturer. You can also run the hot water in your bathroom and sit in the steamy room with your baby for 15 minutes at a time if you do not have a humidifier.

Retirez l’excès de mucus. Appliquez de la vaseline sur son nez. Utilisez un humidificateur d’air.


Article in English: To access your new settings, navigate to the YouTube homepage. The settings are available while watching YouTube videos as well, but changed settings may not take effect until you reload the page. While on YouTube, click on the image of a cog wheel in the top right corner of the web page. This will open the YouTube Center settings. Find the left-hand column of menu items and click Player. This will take you to the buffer settings and related options. If your YouTube videos frequently pause and start buffering in the middle of watching them, try disabling "DASH Playback" by unchecking the box next to that name. DASH Playback divides the video into sections and loads them one at a time as you watch the video, which can result in interruptions if you do not have fast internet. With DASH Playback disabled, YouTube will buffer the entire video in advance, whether it is playing or paused.  YouTube does not allow 1080p or 480p while DASH playback is disabled.  DASH stands for Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP. If you often open YouTube videos but do not watch them immediately, you might want to stop them buffering (loading) or playing until you are ready, so you can use your bandwidth for other activities. Check that the Player option is selected on the left-hand list, then click Auto-Play in the top row. Check any or all of the checkboxes to disable automatic buffering or automatic playing in various situations.  Checking "Prevent auto-play" will cause all YouTube videos to start out paused, and not play until you click them. Checking "Prevent auto-buffering" will cause all YouTube videos to start out paused, and they will not start loading until you click play. The remaining options apply the same effect, but only to certain videos. The "playlist" options prevent automatic playing of the next video in a playlist. The "tab" options prevent this for videos in a tab or window you are not looking at.

Article in English: To add a little smokiness to your favorite chili or beef stew, stir in 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) of liquid smoke. For a stronger flavor, add 1 tablespoon (30 ml). Liquid smoke is a great way to add a depth of flavor to vegetarian stews or chili. For quick baked beans that taste as though they've been cooking all day, stir in 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) to your flavored baked beans. If you'll be broiling, grilling, or sautéing meat or poultry, dip a brush in the liquid smoke and brush it over the food before you cook it. Try brushing steaks, chops, or roasts. You can also season tofu or fish. If you forgot to season the food with the liquid smoke before cooking it, shred the meat and stir a little liquid smoke in until it's combined. Follow the recipe to combine your standard meatloaf or burger mixture. Add 2 to 3 drops of liquid smoke and toss the ground meat mixture until it's just combined. Form the burgers or meatloaf and cook them as usual. For a stronger smoke flavor, increase the liquid smoke to 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml). Heat 6 ounces (170 g) of your favorite melting cheese in a saucepan over medium-low. Stir in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of water, 1 tablespoon (15 g) of mustard, 1 pinch of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) of liquid smoke. Once the cheese melts, whisk in 2 beaten eggs and cook the fondue for 5 minutes. Serve the smoky fondue with:  Crackers Celery and carrot sticks Smoked sausage Steamed vegetables Baguette

Article in English: To adjust the level, flush the toilet and while it is flushing, turn the screw of the adjustment level counterclockwise. Do this until the bowl of the toilet is empty or almost empty. Mix two to three cups of white vinegar with equal parts borax. Pour it directly into your toilet bowl, making sure the areas affected by limescale are under the liquid. Leave it for two hours to allow the borax and vinegar to dissolve the limescale. After you have let the limescale soak, return to the toilet and scrub vigorously with a scrub brush with the vinegar and borax mixture still in the toilet bowl. After scrubbing, flush the toilet to let the vinegar borax mixture go down the drains. The water should wash away any remnants of limescale. If you still see limescale, do another scrub of the toilet and flush it again. Repeat until all the limescale is gone. Don't forget to readjust the level on your toilet.

Article in English: To adjust your timing, all you need to do is turn the distributor housing one direction or the other, depending on whether or not you want to advance or move back the timing. If the rotor turns clockwise, you'll advance the timing by rotating the distributor counterclockwise, and vice versa. It'll take some touch to get it right, so it helps to have someone to rev the engine, check the number, and twist the distributor. Grab the distributor firmly and rotate it slowly to one side or the other. Continue rotating until the timing mark is in the correct position. Align the timing marks by continuing to move the distributor and checking with your timing light. When you've got it set where you want it, lock it back down by tightening the distributor bolts. Reconnect vacuum hoses. A typical small-block Chevy's timing curve needs to be set somewhere in this range for maximum performance, when the engine is being revved at 3500 RPM. At this point, the timing should stop advancing and should remain steady. Total timing minus your base timing number should meet your engine specification for total advance degrees. If the number is not as specified then you may have a distributor mechanical advance problem.

Summary in French:

Desserrez suffisamment les vis de fixation du distributeur pour pouvoir le tourner. Faites votre réglage lorsque le moteur est au ralenti. En cas de doute, adoptez une valeur entre 34 et 36 degrés. Serrez les vis du distributeur lorsque vous êtes sûr que le calage de la distribution est réglé correctement.


Article in English: To alleviate some of his or her impatience, mind your language. Explaining how the impatience affects you should be done with the goal of finding a solution and not just causing trouble or pointing the finger. This is not a time to start a fight, but to build on a supportive relationship and talk about what is really going on. Use an "I" statement to express your feelings without causing blame.  For example, you might say "I get overwhelmed when you rush me with my work. This project will take a few hours. Can you hold off on checking in until tomorrow?" Be sure to comment on the behavior as the issue, not the person. Because you know this person well you want to focus on the short-term behavior while maintaining the positive side of your day-to-day relationship. Don’t stir the pot, instead confront the immediate problem and move on. Becoming impatient can be a sign of an underlying issue, so avoid making comments that would minimize what is really going on. An impatient person can be under stress, feeling isolated, reacting to an unexpected delay or a host of other feelings. Dismissing the person's feelings with a “take it easy” or “calm down” may trigger a bigger reaction. Focus on words that acknowledge the behavior and does not try to downplay the reaction. For example, if the person appears angry about having to wait, you might start with “You appear angry (or stressed, tired, upset, etc.), what can I do to help?”. This starts a conversation and avoids more conflict. Instead of making a bigger problem out of someone being impatient, asking to help in a genuine way gives the person a chance to be heard. This tells the person that you are open to talking about it and that you would like to find a way to address his or her needs. Even if you can’t immediately give impatient people what they are asking for, giving them a timeline or an update can often soothe their discomfort for the time being. Sometimes, another person's impatience can provoke an angry response within you. Know that getting angry in...

Article in English: To analyze the importance of objects or symbols in your dreams, you should look how they relate to the scripture. For example, standard dream dictionaries may also interpret a goat as symbolic of prosperity, while from a religious perspective a goat is most often associated with oppressors and unrepentant sinners. Consider possible meanings of each symbol, particularly how they may relate to your situation in life. If you have a religious dream, it is likely that God has made the dream so that it will speak to you. If you examine the symbols enough you will likely find the hidden meaning that feels right and significant to you. If you dream that somebody is going to die, it may be a literal meaning, or it could be symbolic. If someone has died in a dream it could be symbolic of cutting ties with that person or situation. Many common religious symbols have recurred in dreams for different people. Serpents or snakes representing an evil. Nakedness representing closeness with God. Houses and their state of disrepair or beauty can symbolize the state of your spirit. These symbols are all common among dreams with religious implications. Consider if there are any aspects of your life in which you feel the same emotions that you experienced in the dream. If you are under a lot of stress or extremely busy, your dream may just be your mind's way of processing the day while you sleep. Sometimes you may even have a dream that seems religious, but doesn't feel like a divine message. If it doesn't seem significant or important, it may not be worth stressing out over the interpretation. If the dream seems like a very important message or warning, then look deeper and ask God what he is trying to teach you. Sometimes a religious dream may be a challenge from God to make you seek some important truth. Don't ignore a dream just because it seems difficult to understand. Seek out the answer from God and in the bible. Ask yourself if this is an answer to a question that you have asked God. God can give you answers through a dream.

Article in English: To avoid last minute stress, work out all of the details of your move weeks in advance and pack as early as possible. Get quotes from at least three different moving companies, look into their credentials, and book one right away; work out your own travel for the move to NYC early as well to ensure that you arrive at the same time as your belongings. If you are renting a truck instead, book just as early and find friends or family to take the trip with you to help. If you are moving to NYC before you have an apartment lined up, rent storage space to hold your belongings once you arrive. This is also an increasingly popular option for inhabitants of the city who simply want less clutter and more space. Make sure to work out the rental in advance, as the demand for storage is currently greater than the supply. If you will be arriving in NYC before you have an apartment to stay in, arrange for a place to stay in the interim. Look well in advance to find accommodations, and do some extra research to find cost-effective options. Instead of hotels, consider short-term room rentals through sites like Airbnb, hostels, academic housing, and couch surfing.

Article in English: To be a "smart" student, that means you'll be smart about college and your resume, too! In today's day and age, you've got to have it all, and a great way to do that is to volunteer. It shows prospective colleges and employers that you're not only smart, but you're a good person, too! Here's a few places to consider:  Hospitals Nursing homes Homeless, battered women's, or children's shelters Animal shelters Soup kitchens Churches On top of having great grades and volunteering, the ideal student is involved in extracurriculars – both athletics and drama, music or art. This shows that you're well-balanced and can do it all. Most kids can't! No one said you had to be good at these things. If you're a star basketball player, take an art class or try out for the school play. If you're in the school choir and can't throw a ball to save your life, try out for the soccer team. It's only for a season! On top of everything else, consider joining a group or club that speaks to something you care about. Does your school have an environmental club? LGTBAU group? A creative writer's group? Join! This shows you take an active part in your school when it comes to things you care about. What's more, these are some of the easiest organizations to find leadership roles. Saying you're the "president' of something is pretty impressive! Not only does taking different kinds of classes show the world that you have many interests and are good at lots of things, it's a load off on you, too! Imagine taking 8 math classes and nothing else – you'd be pretty fried. So mix it up with your core classes like English and math, and then add in some interesting ones like history or robotics, and some fun ones, like cooking or woodshop, too. If your school doesn't have a class you want to take, a lot of schools have partnership programs where you can take the class at a different school or local community college. And if you're in high school, you may even be able to get college credit! Plenty of small schools (and some large ones) are lacking...

Part of the job description is willing to scope out and analyze different, sometimes dangerous, sometimes exotic, areas. Hone your communication skills. When you're not doing on-the-scene research, you'll be behind a desk, emailing and talking on the phone. Your success rate is based on how well you can communicate. Zero-in on the details. Every person has a different ideal vacation—making sure everything from the curtains to the bus air conditioning system is beyond the standard is what makes a returning customer. Get organized. You'll be dealing with dozens of itineraries simultaneously. Keeping things straight and meeting deadlines is imperative to success. Make connections. You're going to need clients to make commission, so start talking. Be the go-to for all your friends and family when it comes to travel information and itinerary organization. Start networking today. You cannot sell a product that you're unfamiliar with. Getting out there or seeing it for yourself puts you in the clients' shoes and prepares you for unforeseen problems.  Being able to dispense first-hand information is invaluable. Clients are more interested in hearing suggestions based on first-hand accounts of services, accommodations and geographic areas. This is the reason travel agents often receive discounts while traveling. Knowing a foreign language (or two) definitely helps! Before you start any career,  familiarize yourself with the market and what you're getting into.  The beginning travel agent makes, on average, around $15 an hour or around $30,000 a year.

Article in English: To become closer to someone you love or care about, you have to be willing to be vulnerable around them. Allow them to see a side of you that no one else does. Don't be afraid to show emotion or let your partner see you when you aren't at your best.  For example, if you're always neat and perfectly groomed when you see your significant other, they may think that they have to do the same. If they aren't feeling well or are having a lazy day and don't feel like getting all dressed up, they may think they can't spend time with you. If you never let your guard down around your partner, you'll have a hard time getting any closer to them because they can't get close to you. You may be putting a lot of effort into your relationship, and it may seem to you that your partner isn't putting in any effort at all. However, you have no idea what's going on in their head or what personal barriers they've had to overcome to let you into their life.  Keep in mind that your effort also may not be clear to your partner. They may think that the things you do in the relationship come easily to you, when in fact they require a lot of work. Being open about your own difficulties can help your partner better understand your efforts, without making them feel as though they're not doing enough. It may seem like if you want to get closer to your significant other, you should do more things with them. But spending time apart from each other pursuing your own interests helps you build appreciation for the time you have together.  For example, suppose you were taking a dance class before you started dating your significant other. After you start dating, you should do what you can to keep that class going if you find it fulfilling, rather than quitting simply because your significant other isn't interested. While it's great to introduce your significant other to your friends, go out with your friends occasionally without your significant other. Both of you should have individual friendships on your own that are apart from mutual friends –...

Article in English: To begin calculating a correlation efficient, first examine your data pairs. It is helpful to put them in a table, either vertically or horizontally. Label each row or column x and y. For example, suppose you have four data pairs for x and y. Your table may look like this:  x || y 1 || 1 2 || 3 4 || 5 5 || 7 In order to calculate the mean, you must add all the values of x, then divide by the number of values.  Using the example above, note that you have four values for x. To calculate the mean, add all the values given for x, then divide by 4. Your calculation would look like this: μx=(1+2+4+5)/4{\displaystyle \mu _{x}=(1+2+4+5)/4} μx=12/4{\displaystyle \mu _{x}=12/4} μx=3{\displaystyle \mu _{x}=3} To find the mean of y, follow the same steps, adding all the values of y together, then dividing by the number of values.  In the example above, you also have four values for y. Add all these values, then divide by 4. Your calculations would look like this: μy=(1+3+5+7)/4{\displaystyle \mu _{y}=(1+3+5+7)/4} μy=16/4{\displaystyle \mu _{y}=16/4} μy=4{\displaystyle \mu _{y}=4} Once you have your means, you can calculate standard deviation. To do so, use the formula:  σx=1n−1Σ(x−μx)2{\displaystyle \sigma _{x}={\sqrt {{\frac {1}{n-1}}\Sigma (x-\mu _{x})^{2}}}} With the sample data, your calculations should look like this: σx=14−1∗((1−3)2+(2−3)2+(4−3)2+(5−3)2){\displaystyle \sigma _{x}={\sqrt {{\frac {1}{4-1}}*((1-3)^{2}+(2-3)^{2}+(4-3)^{2}+(5-3)^{2})}}} σx=13∗(4+1+1+4){\displaystyle \sigma _{x}={\sqrt {{\frac {1}{3}}*(4+1+1+4)}}} σx=13∗(10){\displaystyle \sigma _{x}={\sqrt {{\frac {1}{3}}*(10)}}} σx=103{\displaystyle \sigma _{x}={\sqrt {\frac {10}{3}}}} σx=1.83{\displaystyle \sigma _{x}=1.83} Using the same basic steps, find the standard deviation of y. You will use the same formula, using the y data points.  With the sample data, your calculations should look like this: σy=14−1∗((1−4)2+(3−4)2+(5−4)2+(7−4)2){\displaystyle \sigma _{y}={\sqrt {{\frac {1}{4-1}}*((1-4)^{2}+(3-4)^{2}+(5-4)^{2}+(7-4)^{2})}}}...

Article in English: To begin making this medium hold hair pomade, place a double boiler on the stovetop over medium heat. Place one inch (2.54 cm) of water in the bottom of the double boiler and place the top pan back on the double boiler. If you don’t have a double boiler, place a pot on the stovetop and add an inch (2.54 cm) of water to the bottom. Then place another pot or a heatproof bowl sitting on top of the bottom pot. Place the 3 tablespoons (44.36 ml) of shea butter and 2 tablespoons (29.57 ml) of beeswax pastilles into the top pan of the double boiler and mix them with a large spoon until they are melted. In a separate bowl, add the jojoba oil, arrowroot powder and the vitamin E if you are using it. Stir them together until all the ingredients are mixed together.  Vitamin E promotes hair growth and also helps to strengthen hair. You can find liquid Vitamin E at some health food stores. Arrowroot is a thickening agent. It can be bought in health food stores or some major supermarkets. You can also substitute cornstarch for arrowroot powder if you have trouble finding it. Take the double boiler off the heat and pour the jojoba oil mixture into the top of the double boiler with the shea butter mixture. Add in 10 drops of the essential oil of your choice, then mix the pomade ingredients together with a whisk or hand mixer for two or three minutes until the texture of the pomade is thick. You don’t need to use essential oils, but they can add a nice scent to your pomade. Once you add the essential oils, scoop or pour the pomade into a jar or tin with a top, being sure to scrape out the boiler to get out all the pomade. The pomade should be ready to use as soon as it cools.

The best time to do this is in early spring. It's possible to start the growth of apple trees in indoor pots rather than outside.  Keep in mind that apple trees are healthier when they are initially planted outdoors instead of in pots. Purchase several small 6 inch (15.2 cm) degradable plant pots, depending on how many seeds you want to sow. Fill the plant pots with potting soil, leaving about an inch (2.54 cm) at the top. Make sure that the plant pots have drainage holes at the bottom. Degradable pots, like peat pots, make transplanting easier and less shocking for the seedlings. After filling the pots with loam soil, poke two one-inch (2.54 cm) holes in the soil of each pot about three inches (7.6 cm) apart, then place a seed in each hole. Because not every seed is guaranteed to grow, plant five to ten times as many seeds as you want apple trees. After you place all the seedlings in the holes, water the soil in each pot. This should shift the soil so that it covers the seedlings. If the seedlings are still exposed, gently brush soil over them so that they are just covered. Move the pots of seedlings to direct sunlight, preferably in a greenhouse, but anywhere in your home that is warm and has plentiful windows. Apple trees ultimately will have to be transplanted outdoors, where conditions are better for growth. Because the apple tree seedlings are growing indoors, they will need to be hand-watered twice a week. Water until the soil is moist and dark, but be sure not to overwater and flood the soil. You don't want to keep your apple tree seedlings indoors indefinitely. Apple trees thrive outdoors, where they have space to grow, as well as improved sunlight and soil nutrients. In the fall, when the seeds are dormant, clear an area of garden of weeds and large rocks.  Choose an area of your garden with well-draining soil, meaning that when you pour a large...

Article in English: To build a noose, the most effective material to use is wire. You can use anything as long as it's flexible and not too thin or brittle. It must quickly and easily tighten. There are a number of wire types you can choose from:  Craft wire Headphone wire Stripped wires from cars An uncoiled spring Make sure it's strong enough to hold a small (5-8 lbs; 2.5-3.5 kg) animal. If it snaps under your own strength, it probably won't work. The following items are suitable for a snare trap if you don't have or can't find wire near you.  Shoelaces Dental floss Fishing line That means stringy tree bark and plant fibers. It's going to be more work, but if primitive cultures did it, so can you.  Milkweed Dogbane Cattail A snare can be used day or night, rain or shine, and in any climate. All you need to make sure of is that animals pass by more than once in a blue moon. Placing random snares with no eye for signs of small game is a waste of time.  Look for signs of game in droppings, shelters, tracks, scratches, and signs of feeding. A significant source of water and food for the area is a safe bet as well. Now that you've found the general area you want to build your snare in, look above you. What sort of trees do you have to work with? The tree will be the beef of your machinery.  Find a sapling (a young tree) that is strong enough yet bendy. Keep in mind, it must be able to hold the game high in the air until you find it. If no saplings are around, look for a large tree limb and decent-sized rock. This is an alternate method that uses the same idea but doesn't require a bendable, well-placed sapling.

Article in English: To catch the falling transmission fluid, you'll need a pan under the drain bolt big enough to catch it. Inexpensive plastic receptacles are available at most auto shops. If your transmission lacks a drain plug, draining the fluid is potentially a very messy operation. Because the fluid will drain around the pan (rather than through a drain plug hole), you will need a collection pan at least as wide as the transmission pan itself if you don't want to make a mess. Most automatic transmission pans have a magnet inside to collect metal shavings that have been produced by worn moving parts. Remove these shavings along with the remaining fluid in the pan. Metal shavings are normal and represent the typical wear and tear of the gears. Any large or odd-shaped chunks however are not normal. Keep these pieces and seek the advice of a certified mechanic to ensure the transmission is not in need of immediate attention. About 50 percent of the fluid will remain in the transmission when you drain it. To remove all the fluid, including the fluid in the torque converter, you must flush the transmission completely, a process that is usually part of a more comprehensive maintenance routine.

Article in English: To check your cat yourself, you need to have access to his buttocks area in order to examine his genital region. You should position your cat with his rear end toward you. Once he is positioned, you need to pull his tail straight up so you can see his genital region. You may need to get someone to help you if you think your cat will squirm around while you do this.  You can stroke your cat's back and talk to him to make him put up his tail on his own. This way, you won't have to hold it and he will be more relaxed.  You might also want to put on a pair of latex gloves since you are going to be feeling around your cat's genitals. Make sure they are thin enough that you can still feel through them. If your cat is fluffy, you may need to move excess fur out of the way to see the genital region. Move the fur out of the way to look underneath at the genital region. Once you spread the fur between his legs, you should see his penis and anus.  Make sure you are careful and don't push too hard. You don't want to hurt your cat. If your cat is short haired, you may not need this step because this area will be obvious without having to move any fur around. If you cat is calm or docile, you may be able to do this with him lying on his back. If you try this, grab the scruff of his neck and turn him over. This will keep him in place and help protect your hands and arms in case he lashes out at you with his claws. When your cat gets neutered, he has his testicles removed. Because of this, you can feel this area to see if your cat has been neutered. Look for his testicle sac, which is located below the tail and anus and above the penis. There should be a small bag there. Pick it up and gently feel what's inside. If there are hard balls inside, your cat still has his testicles and he is not neutered. If the sac is soft, he most likely has been neutered recently. This is usually accompanied by a shaved scrotum as well.  If there is no sac to be held, he may have been neutered more than a month ago and the sac has gone flat. If...

Article in English: To consecrate yourself is to answer God's call to spiritual consecration. This means making a conscious, willing decision to dedicate your soul, mind, heart, and body to God. This decision must be one of will, intelligence, and affection. Only you can make the decision to consecrate yourself to God. No one else can push you into it. Since consecration is something that must be done voluntarily, you need to ask yourself if you are truly dedicated or if you are caving into outward pressures.  Only you and God know your heart, so don't worry about whether you appear to have the right motives. You should view your commitment to Christ as a priority, not a secondary option or passive experience.  You should also be able to feel gratitude and love in your heart for God. If your heart is ready to be consecrated to God, it will love God in response to the love God has for you. Repentance is one of the first acts you should undertake when you make the decision to consecrate yourself to God. The act of repenting involves the acknowledgment of your sins and the need for the salvation offered to you by Christ. Repentance is a personal experience, and it's also a fairly straightforward one. Upon gaining the desire to repent, all you need to do is pray for forgiveness and ask God to help you fight against temptation in the future. Water baptism is an outward sign of inner consecration. In being baptized, you are given a new spiritual life and dedicated to a life lived for the service of Christ.  You should also take time to regularly renew your baptismal promises, especially if you were baptized as an infant before the decision was completely yours to make. Renewal of your baptismal promises can happen in several ways. Some denominations, like Roman Catholicism, have the Sacrament of Confirmation, in which you confirm your own intention to remain consecrated to God. Without a separate sacrament, you can still renew your baptismal promises by reciting a creed of faith or by regularly praying a personal vow to God about your...

Article in English: To conserve electricity, create an office policy to ensure all the lights in your office are turned off, including lights in bathrooms, kitchen areas, and meeting rooms. You should also tell your employees to switch off lights in a room if they are going to be out of there for longer than a few minutes at a time.  During the day, maximize natural daylight by using natural light instead of overhead or fluorescent lights. Turning off one fluorescent light for an hour a day can save 30 kg of carbon dioxide emissions per year. Consider areas in the office where there is excessive lighting or lights that are turned on in rooms that are barely used. Remove these lights or suggest not using lights if daylight is enough. As well, switch the light bulbs to energy-saving bulbs, such as compact fluorescent (CFL) or LED bulbs, to save more energy. This will prevent air from escaping your office when the air conditioner or heater is running, which can be especially important for offices located in regions of the country that experience extreme temperatures.  You can also prevent drafts in the office by keeping the front doors of the office closed and making sure the door shuts firmly behind someone as they leave so heat or air does not escape to the outside. You should also clean and repair your office's heating, venting, and air conditioning (HVAC) system on a routine basis, or hire a repairman to come at least once a month. A clean and working HVAC system will help reduce your energy bills and make it easier for your office’s HVAC system to cool or heat your office. Make sure all air vents are clear of paper, files, and other office supplies. Blocked air vents means your HVAC system has to work harder and use more energy to circulate cold or warm air in the office. Conserve your heat energy by setting the thermostat in the office at different temperatures in the winter and in the summer. In the winter, set the thermostat at 68 degrees or less during the day and at 55 degrees at night when no one is in the office. In the...

Article in English: To create a fresh-looking face, you need to apply your makeup as lightly as possible. Doing your makeup in sunlight, such as by a window, can help you see how much you're applying and what looks heavy-handed. If you put on too much foundation, it can backfire, making your skin appear thick and leathery. Try applying a light layer of liquid foundation. In fact, you can also mix it with your moisturizer to lighten it up even more. Another option is a tinted lotion, as it helps smooth out your skin without adding too much weight. Using a brush to apply powder helps keep it light. A sponge can cake the powder on, making you look older. Try one that absorbs oils, which can keep your skin from looking shiny. Blush can help make your cheeks look rosy, but if you apply it too heavily, it can make you look like a doll instead of a person. Apply a light dusting of a faint pink to give yourself a nice glow without making you look like a clown. In addition, use bronzer along the bottom of your cheekbones to add shadow and shape. That is, you don't want to pick an eyeliner that's too dark if you are fair skinned, while a black liner will be perfect if you have darker skin. Choose a brown if you have lighter skin. Also, apply it thinly, as being too heavy-handed can make the liner look unnatural. Picking a gel eyeliner can make it easier to apply in a thin line. Lipstick can look like, well, makeup. Balms, on the other hand, can help keep your face looking fresh. Pick a sheer color, so that it picks up your skin tones underneath it while adding a hint of pink. When choosing an eye shadow, make sure to pick one in a brown shade that's a bit darker than your skin tone. By using it in the creases of your eyelids, as well as just under your eyelashes, you can brighten up your eyes, but it won't actually look like you're wearing eye shadow. You can also use bronzer in place of eye shadow for a similar effect. The simple act of smiling can make you appear younger, according to one study. Participants underestimated the age more...

Article in English: To create a plot outline for a text that you were assigned in a class, not an original text, divide your outline into three acts. Most novels and books can be broken down using the three act structure.  Use a word processing document or a piece of paper to create three distinct sections, titled Act 1, Act 2, Act 3. Plot outlines are usually one to two pages long, depending on the length of the book. Aim to be concise and focus on the key points of the plot. Start Act 1 by describing the opening scene of the book. The opening scene will often establish the characters and the setting. The protagonist of the book is usually in the opening scene as well. Keep the summary short, about 100-150 words. Note the key details of the opening scene, including the names of the characters, any physical details or personality traits mentioned, and the setting.  The beginning of your plot outline for Act 1 should also include the inciting incident, which sets your character on a quest or mission. The inciting incident may also lead to the main conflict in the novel. For example, in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, the inciting incident of the book occurs when Atticus agrees to defend a black man named Tom Robinson, who is accused of raping a white woman. The final section of Act 1 will focus on the main problem or conflict in the novel. The main problem or conflict will be the biggest obstacle the protagonist has to deal with or face. It will raise the stakes of the story and cause the protagonist to make a decision or act in a certain way. The inciting incident usually feeds into the main problem or conflict. For example, in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, the main conflict occurs as a result of the inciting incident, as Atticus' decision to defend Tom Robinson leads to the abuse of Jem and Scout by the other children and members of the community. Act 2 will usually build up to the major disaster or climax of the novel. The disaster or climax often occurs about ¾ of the way into a book or 75% of the way into a story....

Article in English: To determine where you want to add an ellipsis in creative or informal writing, you should ask yourself a question: Do you want to add an ellipsis to express passage of time, or do you want it to express an unfinished thought? One way to use an ellipsis to indicate a pause is when you want to describe passage of time without words. This ellipsis most often occurs in the middle of a sentence.  Insert the ellipsis between two words where the pause occurs. The passage of time can be very short, almost instantly, such as with this sentence: “I was um … thinking about you today.” The passage of time can be much longer, days or weeks, such as with this sentence: “Weeks later … I finally heard from my old boss about the job.” An ellipsis used to express passage of time can often be substituted for the phrase “and then.” When a piece of dialogue or a thought is said to “trail off,” this means it is an unfinished thought. You should use an ellipsis to express an unfinished thought at the end of the sentence.  Insert the ellipsis after the last word to trail off at the end of a sentence. “I was thinking about you today ...”  If the ellipsis occurs at the end of the sentence and the sentence would normally end with a question mark or exclamation point, place it after the ellipsis. “Were you thinking about me today...?”

Article in English: To do this exercise, you will want to have one dumbbell to provide resistance. Start with a low weight (e.g. 4 or 5 lbs.). Eventually, you can increase the weight. If using free weights, be sure that the clamps are fastened on either end of the small bar. Stand on an even, non-slippery surface. Place your feet shoulder-width apart. Keep your shoulders back; do not hunch forward. Put the dumbbell in your right hand. Move your left hand about six inches away from your hip with your palm parallel to the floor. Your left hand should provide some support. Some people choose to bend their free elbow behind their head. For beginners, having the free hand near one’s side offers better balance support. With your weight in hand, bend your upper body to the right side about six inches. You should feel a tug on the left side of your body. You are working your left abdominal region. Return to the starting position. Complete this movement ten times. Repeat with the weight in the left hand and moving to the left. Do three sets of ten repetitions for both sides.  Do not bend from your hips. Aim to move in a slow, controlled fashion. Do not rush. If you feel pain, stop immediately. This exercise works your oblique muscles.

Article in English: To do this, draw a line connecting each vertex, or point, with the vertex opposite. This is equal to the side length of the hexagon. For example, you might have a hexagon with a side length of 8 cm. The base of each equilateral triangle, then, is also 8 cm. To do this, draw a line from the top vertex of the equilateral triangle perpendicular to its base. This line will cut the base of the triangle in half (and thus is the apothem of the hexagon). Label the length of the base of one of the right triangles. For example, if the base of the equilateral triangle is 8 cm, when you divide the triangle into two right triangles, each right triangle now has a base of 4 cm. The formula is a2+b2=c2{\displaystyle a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}}, where c{\displaystyle c} equals the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle), and a{\displaystyle a} and b{\displaystyle b} equal the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle. For example, if a right triangle had a hypotenuse of 2{\displaystyle 2} inches, one leg of 1{\displaystyle 1} inch, and another leg of about 1.732{\displaystyle 1.732} inches (3{\displaystyle {\sqrt {3}}}), the Pythagorean Theorem would state that 12+32=22{\displaystyle 1^{2}+{\sqrt {3}}^{2}=2^{2}}, which is true when you complete the calculations: 1+3=4{\displaystyle 1+3=4}. Substitute for b{\displaystyle b}. For example, if the length of the base is 4 cm, your formula will look like this: a2+42=c2{\displaystyle a^{2}+4^{2}=c^{2}}. You know the length of the hypotenuse because you know the side length of the hexagon. The side length of a regular hexagon is equal to the radius of the hexagon. The radius is a line that connects the central point of a polygon with one of its vertices. You’ll note that the hypotenuse of your right triangle is also a radius of the hexagon, thus, the side length of the hexagon is equal to the length of the hypotenuse. For example, if the side length of the hexagon is 8 cm, then the length of the right triangle’s hypotenuse is also 8 cm. So your formula will look like...
