Article in English: An infection at the surgical site can be more dangerous than the break itself. Even if your cat does not undergo surgery, you still need to pay careful attention to her. If she seems unusually tired, strangely agitated, or fails to eat or drink, contact your vet. Also call your vet within four to six hours if you find:  Swelling of the limb or the surgical site A skin rash near the site of injury Leakage or a bad smell at the surgical site The bandage over the surgical site gets wet The bandage is slipping from its location Chewing or scratching at the wound may reopen or lead to infection. If your cat is disturbing the surgical site, talk to your vet about getting an Elizabethan collar (cone) to prevent her from reaching the area. Your vet will likely prescribe a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug like meloxicam to deal with your cat’s pain, as well as perhaps an opioid for the immediate post-surgery period. Give the drugs as prescribed.  WARNING: Never give human drugs to your cat, as many, such as Tylenol, are toxic to cats and may prove fatal. Apply cold packs or bags of ice wrapped in cloth to the injured shoulder for the first week after the injury to reduce inflammation, swelling and pain. Usually, this means “cage rest” – confining your cat to a crate with food and litter until the bone heals. Most shoulder breaks will take at least eight weeks to heal, though young cats may heal more quickly. Your cat will likely need to be confined to cage rest for at least a month, and usually for the full eight weeks.  To keep your cat entertained, giver her plenty of toys and the occasional low-calorie treat. You can also take her out of the cage for daily grooming.  Your cat will want to leave the cage to walk around before the time is up. You will want to let her. Don’t. Letting your cat use her injured limb before it is fully healed can delay healing, cause re-injury, or lead to a permanent limp. Continue to confine your cat as directed until healing is confirmed by x-ray. The cage you choose should be large...

Article in English: An open dialogue about the roots of jealousy can help you both overcome the problem. When your girlfriend is feeling jealousy, try to ask her directly about her fears. If your girlfriend is able to talk through her fears about the relationship, she will be better able to overcome them.  Ask your girlfriend what she feels insecure about in the relationship, or in general. This may explain why she feels jealous. People feel jealous for a variety of reasons. Your girlfriend may be afraid of losing you. She may also simply fear being left out. Ask your girlfriend something like, "What exactly are you afraid is going to happen when you get jealous?" Though the end result may look the same — possessive, paranoid, controlling, etc. — trust issues are actually very different from jealousy. Jealousy is envy that comes about through comparison and is likely unfounded, while a trust issue is usually something that has developed due to a partner's behavior or is rooted in past experiences. For instance, if you cheated on your girlfriend in the past and she gets upset when you spend one-on-one time with another girl, this is not jealousy. She is experiencing trust issues because of choices that you made. Dealing with jealousy is different than dealing with trust issues.  Ask yourself if you have done anything to cause your girlfriend to be mistrustful. Have you cheated in the past? Do you have a history of lying to her? Trust issues may relate to her personal history as well. Think about things like your girlfriend's family. People who did not have strong ties growing up tend to be more jealous, as they're more nervous about losing their partner. If you have trust issues in the relationship and not jealousy issues, consider speaking with a couple's counselor and encourage your girlfriend to seek individual therapy to work through these issues if they are due to previous relationships. Notice if what you say and the way you act are in alignment. If you find that you don't back up your words with your actions, you can use...

Article in English: An outline can be one of the most helpful tools when you are studying for an exam or writing a paper. Used in combination with other methods, an outline can become even more effective. Making a study schedule is another way you can help yourself succeed.  Look at your notes several times a week. It is better to study in small increments rather than trying to "cram" for several hours straight. Set aside 10-15 minutes a day most days of the week. Use this time to look over your outlines and any other notes. Review your notes after class. You will retain material best if you look at it within 24 hours of making the outline or taking notes. Studying can be difficult, and at times, even boring. Try to look for ways to tailor your study sessions with your personality in mind. For example, if you love being outdoors, try doing your reading outside.  Maybe you are a very social person. Ask some classmates to form a study group with you. Look for methods that are helpful to you. For example, maybe you learn best by making flashcards to go along with your chapter outlines. It's important to pay attention to your surroundings when you are studying. Look for a room that is not too loud. Avoid watching TV when you are looking over your outlines.  Make sure the room is a comfortable temperature to you. Your mind will wander if you are too hot or too cold. Try having a light snack before you study. A banana or some nuts will give you energy and help you focus.

Article in English: An unclear breakup can be messy and confusing. Make it clear that you do not want to see him anymore. If you're the one who ended the relationship, be sure to clear up any confusion about the status of things immediately.  Don't use vague phrases like "Things don't seem to be working out" or "I'm not sure this is what I want right now." Be direct.  If you must clarify the situation, you can't go wrong with "It's over." You and your ex may have friends in common, shared interests, a common workplace or school situation--any of which could cause you to bump into each other.  Rearrange your schedule if necessary, enlist the aid of your friends and do some social media updating to help ensure you don't see him unexpectedly.  Update your Facebook page.  Change your relationship status and "unfriend" your ex.

Article in English: Angelina is known to eat healthy foods, such as steamed fish, vegetables, and soy milk. She also loves to eat healthy soup.  She follows a strict diet when she wants to put muscle on for movies.  Angelina tries not to smoke or drink coffee with sugar. During filming of the Tomb Raider movie, she worked on achieving a more athletic look. To get this look, she ate a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that included a lot of water and steamed vegetables. She didn’t eat red meat or food that is wheat based. She enjoyed eating raw salads. To keep muscle without losing too much weight, she eats four or five meals per day. She only drinks alcohol on weekends and doesn’t eat junk food. Angelina is a thin woman, and her look has veered from very athletic for action roles to simply slender. Either way, you need an athletic routine to really look like her. Diet is important, but exercise is a key part of her routine.  Angelia used kickboxing workouts and martial arts training in her movies Tomb Raider and Salt. This creates strength in the hips and thighs and burns calories.   Angelina has said that she doesn’t have patience for Yoga, although she did use it in the movie Maleficent to improve the strength of her core.   To tone your butt like hers, use circuit training. Try lunges and squats.  Angelina combines aerobics with resistance training. She likes circuit training exercises that feature different exercises for the arms, abs, chest and legs. For example, a work out might involve using a 5 to 10 pound dumbbell weight to perform forward and side lunges, squats, leg curls, crunches, bicep curls, and mountain climbers. She alternates these exercises with about 30 to 45 minutes of high-intensity cardio, like running or jumping rope.

Article in English: Angle grinders and circular saws are suited to cut slate. Make sure to use a carbide or diamond tipped blade because slate will dull weaker blades. Also, your cutter wheel should be as thin and fine as possible, which will reduce spalling.  Use an angle grinder to cut through slate that’s more than 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) thick.  Renting cutting equipment can cost $15-$50 (USD) per day. Circular saws and angle grinders can cost anywhere from $50-$200 (USD). It’s important that your slate doesn’t shift around as you cut it or you may make uneven lines. Clamp the slate so that the part you're cutting off hangs over the workbench. If you don’t hang the slate over a flat surface you’ll cut through whatever it’s resting on. Plug in the saw and turn it on. Using both hands, carefully place the blade above the line that you drew. Pull the trigger and the blade will start to spin. Slowly lower the angle grinder on the line and move it up and down slightly to cut through the slate. Continue holding the trigger down and move the angle grinder down the line that you drew before. Once you’re done, you should have a straight edge.

Article in English: Animals can sense nervousness in humans.  When handling animals of any kind, including guinea pigs, you need to remain calm and confident while around them.  If you aren’t able to keep calm for any reason, wait to handle your guinea pig at a time when you are calm. Try talking to your guinea pigs so they aren't startled when you try to pick them up. There are two possible ways to place your right hand on your guinea pig’s body.  The two methods are outlined here:  Method 1 — Place your right hand on top of your guinea pig, across his shoulders.  Place your right thumb behind your guinea pig’s front legs.  And then place your right fingers in front and behind your guinea pig’s front legs (e.g. one or two fingers in front of his front leg, two to three fingers behind his front leg). Method 2 — Place your right hand under your guinea pig’s chest, near his front legs.  Put your index finger in front of your guinea pig’s left front leg, and the rest of your fingers behind his left front leg.  Use your index and second fingers like scissors to hold your guinea pig’s left leg still. Your hand should be placed on your guinea pig gently but firmly and without applying any pressure.  Squeezing your hand may cause your guinea pig to squirm, which in turn may cause him to injure himself. Once you’ve gripped your right hand around the front of your guinea pig, place your left hand behind his bum.  Make sure you have his behind fully supported with your left hand. Lift your right hand up so your guinea pig’s front legs are off the ground.  Then support the back end of your guinea pig with your left hand.  Make sure your guinea pig’s back legs are always supported, do not allow them to dangle. If your guinea pig struggles when you pick him up, you may need to hold his back legs still with your left hand and fingers. Once your guinea pig is off the ground, move your arms so that he’s close to your chest and body.  Cuddle your guinea pig against your body while he’s off the ground and you’re moving around.

Article in English: Another easy way to look more attractive is by having healthy looking skin. Encouraging him to drink more water can help make his skin look fresher and more vibrant.  There’s some disagreement about how much water a person should drink in a day, but 6 to 8 glasses is a good rule to follow. Getting him a filter water bottle is a good way to encourage healthy water-drinking habits. A lot of guys tend to favor a meat-and-potatoes approach to cooking and eating. This kind of heavy food can not only make your guy gain weight, but it can actually make him feel bad, too. Getting more fruits and veggies into his diet can improve his overall health.  An easy way to get him to eat more fruit and veggies is by encouraging him to eat fruit for breakfast - an apple or banana is easy to grab and gets more fruit into his diet.  He can also double the amount of veggies he already eats. If a recipe calls for a certain amount or number of vegetables, encourage him to double the amount the recipe calls for. This way he's not really changing his eating habits, but he's still getting more fruits and veggies. Chicken, fish, and turkey are all examples of lean proteins that give the body the energy it needs without weighing it down. Encouraging your guy to add some lean protein into his diet can make him look and feel better. A really easy way to incorporate lean proteins into his diet is just by substituting leaner options for the protein he already eats. If he eats a lot of steak, suggest he use chicken breast instead in some of his recipes. Ground turkey is a great substitution for ground chuck in burgers and tacos, and ground chicken makes great meatballs.

Article in English: Another great way to relax a tight muscle is to massage it. Place your hand over the area that hurts and gently press down. Knead the area for several minutes. Try to keep your body as relaxed as possible during the process.  You can massage either your stomach or your back. Focus on the place where the pain seems to be sharpest. For an even more relaxing experience, have a partner do the massaging. Make sure he or she knows not to press too hard. There are several herbs found in nature that have long been used to ease menstrual cramps. Brewing a pot of tea made from one of these herbs and sipping it slowly can temporarily relieve your pain. Check out a health food store or another store that sells herbs, and try the following teas:  Raspberry leaf. This tea has a pleasant aroma and is known to ease cramps. Cramp bark. This relaxes the uterus and helps relieve pain. Don't Quai. This is used for a variety of purposes because it effectively soothes the nervous system. Taking an over-the-counter medication is one of the most effective ways to make cramps go away. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and Tylenol work quickly to take away the pain. You can find them in most drug stores.  Some pain medications are designed for the specific purpose of relieving menstrual cramps and other menstrual pain. Look for a drug containing acetaminophen. Take only the recommended dosage on the bottle. If your pain doesn't ease up after about an hour, try other methods for relieving your pain instead of taking more medicine. Orgasms are known to release the pain of period cramps since they relax the uterus and release contractions. If you're feeling up to it, have a day at the spur or a day out with your friends to relieve some of your pain

Article in English: Another option is to use a recruiter to help you find a job. They can look for openings and even secure interviews for you. It can be a lot easier to land a job when someone else is working on your behalf. You shouldn’t have to pay the recruiter to help you find a job. They will get a commission from the company that hires you. This does not mean that you need to be a perfect match for every aspect of the job posting, but you don't want to waste your precious time applying for a job that you have no chance of getting. As long as you match the majority of the job specifications, apply for the job.  If you really need a job fast, apply more widely. This doesn't mean that you should apply for jobs you are totally unqualified for, but think outside the box when considering what jobs you are qualified for. The skills we have from one position can always translate into a variety of other, slightly different, jobs. You may also consider applying for jobs outside of your geographic location or outside of your desired shift hours. No job is perfect, but having a job is usually better than no job. If you need to get a job fast, your odds are better if the potential employer you are applying to has a lot of openings to fill. This may indicate that the job is not the best, but it does mean that you may get the job quickly. If you need to get a job fast, it's best to be proactive and show your prospective new boss that you are serious about the position and that you are the right person for the job.  A good time to talk to your prospective supervisor is when you drop off your application materials, but it may be a good idea to try to talk to them before you do. Ask them about the job and what duties it entails specifically. Show that you are genuinely interested in being an energetic and self-motivated employee.

Article in English: Another unconscious change that occurs when you lie is that the pitch of your voice gets higher. Actively moderate the pitch of your voice so that stays at the your usual level. Make sure your voice is appropriate to the situation.  The fact that the voice pitch rises during a lie is somewhat common knowledge, so people may be listening for it if they suspect you of lying. You can even speak slightly lower than you normally would to balance out the tendency to go higher. Also pay attention to your tone and volume so that it is appropriate to the situation. Don’t speak with a cheerful tone if you need to sound sorry or a serious tone if your lie should sound encouraging. When you are asked questions, give a full answer but don’t let yourself start to ramble. Don’t pause a lot or add filler words that are unnecessary. Rambling or getting off topic is one sure sign that you’re lying. It will take practice, but find the balance between an answer that is too short and one that is too long. Both can seem suspicious. A natural tendency during a lie is to become overly formal. People will notice the difference from your typical demeanor. Use contractions like “didn’t” and “wasn’t” as opposed to “did not” and “was not.” Don’t be afraid of slang or colloquial terms because these will appear as normal for conversation. For example, say “I don’t know,” as opposed to, “I am not entirely sure.”

Article in English: Answer cues by returning hugs, complimenting, saying “I Love You,” kissing someone on the cheek or high fiving. Ignore the urge to hesitate during these moments. If you aren’t used to doing this, it may take some practice but will become second nature in time. In decades past, it was not as culturally important for dads to be affectionate to kids. However, times have changed. Both parents should strive to show affection to their children, even if it is not natural for one of them. While you are cuddling, holding hands or giving a compliment, eye contact connects you further and shows you are serious. Studies have shown that staring into the eyes of someone you love (even a pet) can increase oxytocin hormone levels. This can make you both feel really good and is well worth the effort. Motivational strategists believe that good habits can be established by dreaming big about the way you would like things to be, such as being a more affectionate parent. Then, give yourself micro quotas, such as “I am going to spend 20 minutes conversing directly with my children every day.” Always break down larger goals into smaller goals so they are more obtainable and give you the opportunity to celebrate your successes more often. If you have no desire to show affection or feel affection but can’t express it, consider speaking to a counselor or therapist—either alone or with your partner. Relationships take work. Don’t associate couple’s counseling or seeking therapy on your own with weakness. If you love someone and want to make it work, then nothing should keep you from seeking help to make your relationship stronger.

Article in English: Anti-inflammatory medications include drugs such as ibuprofen (i.e. Advil) and naproxen (i.e. Aleve). In order for these medications to be most effective, start taking them a day before your period is scheduled to start, and continue taking the medication (as instructed on the bottle) for several days after your period has started. If you feel your pain is severe enough that it is interfering with your ability to function on a daily basis, you may want to ask your doctor about prescription medications.  There are several types of prescriptions that can help reduce or eliminate the pain associated with your period, including: birth control pills, progesterone-containing IUDs, prescription-strength anti-inflammatory drugs, prescription-strength pain relievers, antidepressants, and even some antibiotics. For headaches caused by changing hormone levels before and during your period, your doctor may prescribe triptans.  Triptans help block pain signals to your brain and can bring very quick relief when suffering from a severe headache. Even if you do not require birth control for the purpose of actual birth control, the drugs in birth control products can significantly help manage many of the painful side effects of having your period.  Some specific things to consider about birth control products are:  Hormonal contraceptive include birth control pills, the patch, vaginal ring, and Depo-Provera injections. Birth control pills normally have 21 pills per month that contain active ingredients and seven pills per month that are placebos.  (Some birth control pills don’t actually provide placebo pills, but simply have seven days where you stop taking the pills.)  Reducing the number of days you take the placebos may help your symptoms. An alternative to reducing the number of days you take a placebo pill is to eliminate them altogether.  This means you would take 21 days of the active ingredients and then start the next set of 21 pills immediately. Each type of birth control pill contains different levels of estrogen...

Article in English: Antihistamine creams and tablets are medications that can ease an itch resulting from an allergic reaction. They work by blocking histamines binding to your cells and thus, prevent the release of mediators that cause the symptoms of allergy (including itching).  Apply Benadryl (diphenhydramine) topical cream to the skin or take oral tablets/liquid before bedtime. Besides helping with the itching, oral Benadryl also causes drowsiness, which can help you sleep better.  If you have large areas of skin that itches, you should choose an oral anti-histamine instead of putting a topical cream on a large area. However, choose either the topical cream or the oral diphenhydramine. Never use both together or you could be exposed to too much of the medication. Always follow the directions in the label and never exceed the recommended dose. Other antihistamines you can try include over-the-counter Zyrtec (cetirizine) and Claritin (loratadine). Make sure you check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking oral medications if you have medical conditions, allergies to medicines, or take other medications. Corticosteroids are effective in controlling inflammation by altering the function of a number of cells and chemicals in the skin. If the itching is caused by an inflammatory condition (such as eczema), try using corticosteroid cream.  When using corticosteroid cream, you may want to cover the area with a damp cotton material soaked in water. This will help the skin absorb the cream.  Corticosteroid creams are available in mild forms over-the-counter, or stronger by prescription only. If the itchy area isn’t large, your doctor may prescribe calcineurin inhibitor drugs (such as Protopic or Elidel) instead of corticosteroid creams. These may help for mild itching if you prefer not to use over-the-counter or prescription medications. Apply the moisturizing cream before bedtime and, in case of a prolonged condition, at least twice a day until the symptoms are gone.  Try Cetaphil, Eucerin, Sarna, or CeraVe moisturizers or...

Article in English: Anxiety can build up as a result of too much stress in your daily life. Adequate problem-solving and stress-management is required to help you overcome these stressors and minimize feelings of anxiety. With people who have a natural tendency towards anxiety, the need is strong to try to control the environment even when that is not possible. Focus on what you can control. Grab a notepad and write down all the things that are worrying you at the moment. Brainstorm a few strategies on how you can fix the issues or prepare for them more appropriately. For example, if you are worried about an upcoming speech, you can make a plan to practice the speech nightly and, at some point, deliver it in front of a mock audience. People with anxiety often increase their feelings of worry with unhelpful or irrational thought patterns. Perhaps you are worried about your sibling who is traveling across country. You may develop intense, anxious feelings if you miss hearing from your sister or brother even by a few minutes. It may be helpful to challenge your worries with realism. For instance, in the above scenario, you may have started to tell yourself "something is wrong with my sister" or "she's been hurt". You can easily challenge this premise by looking up news reports that relate to her travel route. If you have heard no reports of a car accident, then you can make a more accurate statement like "she has been delayed in calling me for some reason" or "maybe she is having trouble accessing her phone". If you suffer from an extreme form of anxiety such as regular panic attacks, your body goes into "flight or fight" mode even when you may not be in danger. People who experience panic attacks may feel as though their lives are being threatened and a feeling of doom may come over them. Rational thinking can also help with such scenarios. Look around at your immediate surroundings. Are you being threatened in some way? If not, repeat this phrase over and over again until you begin to feel calm: "I am not in danger. I am safe."...

Common places include the wrist, armpit, elbow between fingers, genital area, waist, and beltline. The rash can also have small blisters.  Small burrow lines between the bumps. They are typically light gray and slightly raised.  Norwegian scabies, or "crusted scabies," is a particularly severe form. Signs of crusted scabies include thick crusts on the skin that crumble easily and may appear greyish. They contain hundreds of thousands of mites and eggs. Crusted scabies is rare and typically seen in patients with suppressed immune systems Be particularly vigilant of these symptoms if you have been in contact with anyone infected with scabies. It is important that you visit your doctor. Over-the-counter and home remedies will not treat the infestation completely.  The doctor will usually only need to see the rash to diagnose the condition. He might also take a sample by scraping under the bumps and looking for the presence of mites, eggs, and feces under the microscope. Be sure to tell your doctor if you are pregnant or have any problems such as serious illness, or other severe skin diseases. If your itching is severe, you may want to treat it on your own while waiting for your doctor's appointment or prescription. Soaking in cold water or applying calamine lotion may provide relief from itching. You can also use over-the-counter oral antihistamines, such as cetirizine (Zyrtec), diphenhydramine hydrochloride (Benadryl). Once diagnosed, your doctor will usually prescribe a mite-killing cream or lotion containing five percent Permethrin. Always follow your doctor's and pharmacist's instructions exactly when using the cream.  Permethrin is topically applied and has a few side effects such as burning/stinging and itching.

Article in English: Any child, from preteen through their teen years deserve a reasonable amount of privacy and private space, and unless there is serious concern about the child's behavior or activity, the more space they are given, the more trusted they will feel. This means having open lines of communication with the mother about her expectations and intentions for raising your stepchild, and having clarity on the direction both of you will take. As much as possible, defer to her preferences unless they are dangerous or threaten to destabilize the family or relationship the two of you have.  Respect the child's mother's disciplinary and homework regimens. Even if you think they may be out of line, don't raise this in front of the child or make passing remarks that undermine her. Instead, talk to her privately about your concerns and try to reach a compromise that benefits the child. Discuss decisions which affect your stepchild directly or indirectly with his or her mother. Don't sign the child up for a summer at a military academy or sports camp without talking it over with her. Don't buy the child firearms, fireworks or even seemingly harmless ones like paintball guns or BB guns without her knowledge and consent. Never take the child out on an ATV, snowmobile, micro-light or other potentially dangerous recreational vehicle without her express permission. Talk about computer games, video games, and other cultural influences with the child's mother. Social pressure will often press on mom to let the child do it, whatever "it" is, because everyone else is doing "it". Each family should have its own standards and ethical codes to live by. The child's mother needs your support and input on deciding whether to let the child have violent or graphic video games in the home, or allowing them to go to "R" rated movies with their friends. Understand that your spouse is a mother and cannot always be free to spend alone time with you. There will be times when she will have to help the child or spend time with the child when you would...

Article in English: Any coconut oil will work, whether it's labeled for hair or cooking. There are many types, however, so use this guide to find a quality oil:  A *"virgin," "extra-virgin," or "unrefined" label means the coconut oil has no added chemicals. A high quality virgin coconut oil should be pure white when solid, and clear when liquid. A "refined" or unlabeled product has probably gone through an industrial process. There are high- and low-quality examples, but they are difficult to evaluate without researching the brand. These tend to have a more mild scent. Either type of oil can be extracted from the coconut in one of several ways. This is a little technical, and you can skip it without much harm done. For those interested in finding the perfect brand, here's a breakdown:  "Centrifuged" oils tend to have a more mild scent, and little risk of damage. "Expeller-pressed" or "cold-pressed" oils range from mild to strong scented. Low-quality examples may have heat damage, which cause unpleasant burnt scents. "Direct Micro Expelled" (DME) oil tends to be high-quality, and created directly by coconut farmers. This may be difficult to find.

Article in English: Any cosmetic surgery has a number of things that can go wrong, and you should weigh those risks against the value of permanently reducing the size of your lip(s).  Complications from anesthesia exist in most surgeries, ask your surgeon or anesthesiologist about them. There is a risk of infection in and around the operating site--and the lip/mouth area is already a high risk area. Excessive bleeding or internal damage resulting in more operations can result. Nerve damage, temporary or permanent, can result--necessitating more operations, leaving the area numb, or in pain. Scarring can occur in the operating area, resulting in more operations to remove the affected skin. This procedure needs to be performed by a American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) certified surgeon. This surgeon is also the doctor who will evaluate if you are a candidate for the procedure.  The surgeon will review your medical history, make a clinical assessment of your lips, discuss concerns, and go over the procedure. If the surgeon recommends the procedure, they will explain its details, costs, risks, and recovery to you. During the 1-hour long procedure, the surgeon will give you local anesthetic or more complete oral sedation. Then they will make an incision along the length of the lip inside the mouth, remove a strip of tissue, and stitch the cut closed. The cost of lip reduction surgery can range from $1,500 to $4,000, and because it is considered entirely cosmetic, is usually not covered by insurance. Soreness, tightness, and pain are common sensations to feel after lip reduction surgery. Your surgeon may provide recovery instructions and prescribe painkillers to help alleviate the discomfort.  Avoid vigorous exercise. Sleep with your head elevated, perhaps with a couple of pillows under your head. Avoid highly acidic/citrus foods. Eat softer and pureed foods for the recovery period. Rinse with antiseptic mouthwash to fight infection at the incision site. The sutures should be removed within a week-to-ten days of the procedure if...

Article in English: Any cuts or wounds to the eye could potentially result in permanent damage to your pet’s sight. To increase the odds of a healthy recovery, take him to the vet immediately for evaluation and treatment. If the cut looks severe, like it won't heal on its own, you need to have a vet look at it. All wounds that penetrate through the skin to the muscle, tendon, or fat need professional evaluation. After assessing the wound, the vet might suggest giving the dog stitches to promote healing. Bites usually involve crushing damage to the dog's tissue. This can complicate recovery, so bite wounds need flushing and drains, which both need to be done under anesthesia by your vet. Animals' mouths are full of bacteria, so there's a risk of infection even if the bite doesn't seem severe. If the wound fills up with fluid instead of healing healthily, ask the vet if he or she recommends draining it. Debridement is the removal of damaged or infected tissue from around the wound. Both of these procedures will require the vet to put your dog under anesthesia. These medications can treat or prevent infection, which slows healing. Your veterinarian should assess the wound, determine if there are signs of infection, and discuss antibiotics with you if necessary.

Article in English: Any designated cross country skiing area should have smooth, groomed trails, often with two tracks to slot your skis into. This is the best way to learn cross country skiing. Skiing off the trails, or "back country" skiing, requires significantly more effort, and is only recommended once you are comfortable on the trails, and have a heavy-duty pair of skis. If you are not at a prepared skiing area, pick a flat area of powdery snow with no obstacles. Stand on flat ground with your skis parallel to each other. Bend forward at the ankles, and slightly at your knees. Keep your torso straight, not bending at the hips. This position helps keep you balanced, with your weight over your feet. Scoot one ski at a time slightly forward, getting a feel for the amount of force you can apply without losing your balance or bending above the hips. It takes significant leg strength to turn this shuffling motion into the "kick and glide" motion described below. Many recreational skiers prefer to only use this shuffling technique of moving forward. Every skier falls, so learn the correct way to get up early on in your practice. Set the poles aside after a fall. Adjust your skis so they are parallel to each other, rolling onto your back if necessary to get them untangled. Place the skis onto the snow, to one side of your body, and crawl forward until your feet are behind you. Kneel on top of the skis, and use your poles to push yourself up. If you fall on a hillside, raise your skis in the air and bring them down on the slope below you to get in a more stable position. Crawl to a flat area before you stand up. Keep the skis to one side as you crawl, not directly beneath you, or your weight could push them down the hill. Leave your ski poles aside for the moment, so you can practice this new motion without relying on your arm strength. Push your right foot down into the snow to get moving, swinging your right arm forward and your left arm back. Immediately shift your weight over your left ski and raise your right ski slightly...

Article in English: Any green spots you notice on the shoes are bound to get in the way of your repairs. Take the shoes outside first to prevent the mold or mildew spores from getting into your home. Then, scrub the spots with a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth. Dampen the brush or towel in a little bit of warm water if you’re having a hard time clearing off the green spots.  Consider throwing away the brush or towel after using it to avoid spreading mold spores. A great tool to use for scrubbing is an old toothbrush. You can dispose of it when you’re done. Check the storage area for mold and mildew as well. Many times, the spores grow in warm or damp storage areas. Dilute bleach in water to neutralize the spores. Use a cotton cloth, microfiber cloth, or a decent scrub brush. Dampen your scrubber very lightly in warm water. Then, wipe the entire shoe from top to bottom, removing as much visible grime as possible. Repeat this with the other shoe to lightly clean it and moisten it. Make sure the cloth or brush isn’t dripping wet. Leather isn’t meant to be soaked in water. A light coating doesn’t harm it and also helps the cleaner you use next. Saddle soap is a common choice for restoring damaged leather, but there are many alternative cleaners available. Dip a shoe dauber or a cotton cloth into the soap, then scrub the shoes in a circular motion. Watch for the leather to lighten in color as the lather draws out dirt and moisture. Scrub the shoes until the leather feels dry and flexible.  Lye is harsh on leather shoes, so avoid cleaners with heavy amounts of lye. Instead, make your own or get a product specifically designed for shoes. Any leather treatment product you need, including soap, is available online. Also, check at your nearest general, home improvement store, or any place that specializes in leather goods. Another option is to buy a leather maintenance kit. A good kit contains almost everything you need, including a cleaner, conditioner, filler, and applicators. Use another cotton or microfiber cloth to remove the...

Article in English: Any health and wellness policy needs to involve anti-bullying protocols. Make sure this is covered and supported by the management and is taken seriously at all levels of the business. Pair this with an open door policy and hold frequent orientation meetings regarding workplace bullying, making sure employees at all levels are on the look out for this behavior. It's easy to sit back and hope for the best, thinking that your employees will be able to work it out among themselves. It won't. Don't let a problem fester among your employees if you want a productive, healthy, and effective work environment.  Investigate all complaints seriously and fully. Even if complaints seem to come from overly sensitive employees and turn out to be the result of simple misunderstandings, they're worthy of your attention. Often bullying evolves from a sense of competition in the workplace, leading employees who feel threatened by the skills of other employees to attempt to bring them down or sabotage their efforts by engaging in psychological warfare. It's a dangerous and problematic workplace dynamic to let fester. Workplace competition is based on the belief that employees want to be the best and will work harder when rewarded for successes. While it's true that competition in some business models can increase productivity, it also increases the turnover of employees and can create a hostile and unwelcoming environment. The more involved your workforce is at all levels with itself, the less likely the lowest-level workers are to take matters into their own hands. Think of it as Lord of the Flies--don't let the parents be absent from the island, and the kids will be ok.

Article in English: Any size will do, as long as you have figurines that will fit inside them.  Pimiento jars, olive jars, artichoke heart jars, and baby food jars are all good choices, but anything with a tight-fitting lid will do the trick - just take a look in your fridge. Wash the jars inside and out. If you're having trouble removing the label, try rubbing it with hot soapy water and using a plastic card or knife to scrape it off. Dry thoroughly. You can put anything you like inside your snow globe. Small children's toys are a good option, as are winter-themed figurines or cake-toppers (think snowmen, Santa Clauses and Christmas trees) from thrift and craft stores.   Just make sure the figurines are plastic or ceramic, as other materials (like metal) may start to rust or turn funny after being submerged in water. If you want to get a little more creative, try making your own figurines from clay. You can buy clay from a craft store, shape it into any form you want (snowmen are really easy) and bake them in the oven. Paint them with water-proof paint and they're ready to use. Another idea is to take pictures of yourself, your family or your pets and laminate them. You can then cut around the outline of each person and place their photo in the snow globe, for a really personalized touch! Even though it's called a snow globe you don't need to limit yourself to creating a winter scene. You could create a beach scene using seashells and sand, or something playful and fun like a dinosaur or a ballerina. Take the lid of your jar and cover the underside with a layer of hot glue, super glue or epoxy. If you like, you can sand the lid with some sandpaper first - this will create a rougher surface which helps the glue to stick better.  While the glue is still wet, build your scene on the underside of the jar. Stick in your figurines, your laminated photos, your clay sculptures, or anything else you want to put in there. If the item you're sticking has a narrow base (such as the laminated photos, or a snipping from a garland or plastic...

Article in English: Any type of string or yarn will work. The string can be many different lengths, but generally three to six feet works best. Multicolored string may make it easier to track your movements while you learn. Make sure the knot is secure and not too big. Some toy makers sell string already in a loop especially for this game. Double-check that the string can slide smoothly across your skin without causing a rope burn. Start with your hands in front of you and both thumbs pointing up. Place a section of the string over the side of your thumbs facing your chest. Your hands should be roughly six inches apart with palms facing each other. You may need to bring your palms closer together slightly. Dip your hands slightly forward with your wrist if necessary. If your string is properly positioned, it should be held diagonally across your palm, looped over the back base of each pinky finger and thumb. Keep your hands level with your chest,  palms facing each other. The result should be a rectangular loop that isn't sagging. This is called Position 1 or First Position.

Article in English: Any wood surface can be wood burned. However, some are better than others. Light-colored and soft wood, such as bass, works especially well. This is because the wood burning stands out on the light color and you don't have to push very hard to make your marks. Woods with minimal grain also work best for wood burning. The grain of wood can cause the lines of wood burning to be bumpy and less precise. Wood with little grain allows you to draw smoother, more precise lines. When wood burning you should begin with a smooth, sanded surface. While it is possible to wood burn a rough surface, wood burning that is done on a smooth surface will be easier to complete and the design will come out more neat and clear in the end. Sand off any coatings that are on the surface you will be wood burning. Burning through paint or stain can create a lot of toxic smoke that is not good to breathe in. The easiest way to get your design onto your wood is to draw it right on with a pencil. This can be done freehand or by using a template or stencil to get a more exact design. It's also possible to freehand your letters with the wood burner. However, when beginning wood burning it is easier to have a pattern on the wood to follow. Make a design on paper or on a computer and transfer it onto your wood surface. Begin by drawing the design on a piece of paper or by creating on a computer and then printing it out. Then place a piece of carbon paper on the wood and set the paper with the design on top of the carbon paper. By taking a pencil or stylus and tracing your design, you will transfer the design onto the surface of the wood. When placing the carbon paper on your wood, make sure the the carbon side of the paper is facing the wood. The side facing up is typically shiny in comparison. There is a technique in which you can transfer photocopied images onto wood using your wood burning iron. Buy an image transfer tip for your iron, which are sold specifically for this technique. Simply place the paper with the image on it face down on...

Article in English: Anytime you shampoo your carpets, move all of the furniture completely out of the room, if possible. If you can’t move it out of the room, move it all to one side of the room. At the very least, move any small pieces of furniture and remove any other clutter from the room.  If you have large pieces of furniture that are difficult to move, it’s your decision to leave them in the room. If you leave furniture in the room, it will be harder to shampoo because you have to work around it. If you can’t or don’t want to move large furniture, you can place squares of aluminum foil, wood blocks, or plastic film under the legs or base to protect them from water during shampooing. Carpet shampooers have a vacuuming feature, but they are meant to suck up water and small dirt particles. Vacuuming the room will remove larger dirt, hair, and dust balls, leaving the carpet ready for shampoo. It will also fluff the carpet up, which makes shampooing more effective.  Since you are going to the extra effort of shampooing, vacuum a little more than you usually would. Go in straight lines up and down the room and then do a another set that crisscrosses the first set. As you vacuum, look for stains that need pre-treatment before shampooing. Set a sticky note or marker of some kind on the spot so you can easily find it. that you find. With a basic carpet stain remover, spray any stains and let the cleaner work as directed. If it says to blot it up with a wet towel, do so. If it says to leave it and let the shampooer pick it up, do so. Some stains may require something besides stain remover. Some carpet shampoos are meant for tough stains, so you may not need to use a stain remover.

Article in English: Apple cider vinegar is an old home remedy used to to remove all sorts of skin blemished, including warts. The vinegar contains citric acid and also a high percentage of acetic acid, which is an antiviral (it kills HPV and some other viruses). However, citric and acetic acids can also irritate healthy skin, so be careful when applying it to your hand wart. Try soaking a cotton ball or Q-tip in vinegar and then applying it directly on top of the wart, then cover it with a bandage overnight. After about a week of daily treatment, the wart should turn darker and then fall off. New skin will soon grow in its place.  Apple cider vinegar may cause mild burning or swelling in the skin around the hand wart initially, but it usually goes away quickly. Another potential downside to using apple cider vinegar is that it smells bad to most people. White vinegar consists of acetic acid also, but it doesn't seem to have the impact on warts that apple cider vinegar does. Garlic is another old home remedy that's used for many conditions. It contains a compound called allicin, which is a strong antimicrobial that can kill a variety of microorganisms, including HPV. In a 2005 study, an extract of garlic was discovered to completely cure warts after a few weeks and there was no reappearance many months later. Raw, crushed garlic or store-bought extracts can be applied directly onto your hand wart a few times daily for 1-2 weeks. Once you apply it, cover it with a bandage for a few hours until you decide to reapply more. For best results, apply the garlic just before bedtime so the allicin can absorb deep into the wart.  Like the application of apple cider vinegar, using garlic on warts may cause mild burning or swelling in the skin around your hand wart, but it usually fades away. And obviously, it also has a strong odor. As a less-effective alternative, you can take capsules of refined garlic orally (by mouth), which attacks HPV from your bloodstream.

Article in English: Apply a cold compress when an accident occurs. This will help to bring down any swelling, minimize discoloration, and help with pain. The dark color of bruises is caused by blood leaking out of burst blood vessels. Applying a cold compress helps to constrict the blood vessel and minimize the amount of blood that leaks out, which reduces discoloration. To make a cold compress, use an ice pack, a couple of ice cubes wrapped in a towel or rag, or even a bag of frozen vegetables wrapped in a clean towel. Do not apply the cold compress directly to your skin; you should always wrap it in a towel or cloth to protect your skin from damage. Hold the compress against the bruised area for 10 minutes, then give your skin a break for 20 minutes before reapplying. Do this several times a day, up to 60 minutes of cold compress application daily. As soon after your injury as possible, take a seat and try to elevate the bruised body part above heart level. Elevating the injured body part helps to reduce blood flow to the bruise, which minimizes discoloration. If the bruise is on your leg, try propping it up on the back of a chair or rest it on a stack of pillows. If the bruise is on your arm, try resting it on an arm rest or the back of the sofa. Arnica is a plant belonging to the sunflower family whose extract is used to reduce the inflammation and swelling associated with bruises and sprains. There is some evidence that it may help reduce the appearance of bruising, however the evidence is inconclusive.  Arnica is available in gel, ointment, and cream form at most health food stores. Just rub a little on the bruise according to the instructions on the packaging. It is also available in pill form, which can be taken by mouth daily to help with bruising. Severe bruising can be painful, especially when the bruise is fresh. You can relieve the pain and tenderness by taking certain pain medications, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or NSAIDs, which can help with swelling. Be aware, however, that NSAIDs like Motrin can actually...

Article in English: Apply fresh lemon juice to the stain and sprinkle salt over top. Let the linens sit in the sun for several hours before washing. Check on it periodically to make sure the stain is beginning to fade. If it is not, add more juice and salt.   Be careful on bright, sunny days because the sun could lighten your linen items very quickly. Set a timer to check on the progress so that you don't end up with splotchy fabric. For difficult stains, repeat this process several times. Wash the fabric in between repetitions. For large stains or dingy white tablecloths for example, combine lemon juice and dissolved salt in a spray bottle and lightly spray the whole thing. Let it sit in the sun laid out flat so that the effect is uniform. Make a baking soda paste with 4 tablespoons (59.1 ml) of baking soda mixed with equal amounts water. Mix and apply gently so you don't rub the paste into the stain. After the paste has dried and sat for about 15 to 30 minutes, scrape off any excess paste before washing the linens normally. Oils stains are some of the most difficult to get out of fabrics. Sprinkle cornstarch on the stain and waiting 15 minutes for it to set. Then, scrape the starch off. Wash the linens in a sink bath with some dish washing soap or in the washing machine at a gentle cycle.  Don't coat the stain in too much cornstarch. You only need a small coating to absorb the stain. You can reapply another coat after the first one if the stain persists. If you need to rinse the cornstarch out, use cool water to keep the stain from sticking around.

Article in English: Apply the deep conditioner to damp hair, then tuck your hair under a shower cap. Leave it there for 20 to 30 minutes before rinsing it out.  Heating caps can be used to boost the performance of the deep conditioner. If you do not have a heating cap, tuck your hair under a plastic shower cap, then drape a towel over your head, like a hood. Use a blow dryer to heat the inside and outside of the towel. The leave-in conditioner will moisturize your hair, and the oil will help "seal" the moisture in. Make sure to cover all your hair with the leave-in and oil.  You can use just about any natural oil, including: Argan, almond, castor, coconut, jojoba, and olive. You can also use natural butters, such as shea butter. Heat ½ to 1 cup (120 to 240 milliliters) of oil in a double boiler, then apply it to your hair. Tuck your hair under a shower cap for about 20 minutes, then rinse it out with shampoo. You can use any type of natural oil, such as: Argan, avocado, castor, coconut, jojoba, and olive.  Don't use a microwave, or you'll destroy the oil's nutrients. Warm oil is easier for hair to absorb than room-temperature oil. Apply some leave-in conditioner, oil (such as coconut oil), and setting cream to your hair, then twist it. Cover your hair with a scarf or bonnet, and fluff it out the next day. On the third or fourth night, you can re-twist your hair. Spritz your hair with water to re-activate the leave-in conditioner, and reapply the oil and cream. Use a little bit less product than the first time, since the same products are already in your hair from before. If you have finer hair, you can use it as often as once a week. You can use either a store-bought protein mask, or make your own. Consider massaging egg whites into your hair and letting it sit for ten minutes under a shower cap. Wash it out with cool water, not hot. Egg white contains vitamins which will make your hair healthy and strong. These are the oldest parts of your hair, and need the most moisture. Dry hair is brittle hair, and brittle hair tends to...

Article in English: Apply your foundation, concealer, and setting powder as usual. Then use a powder brush to dust on a layer of matte powder in 1 shade lighter than your natural skin tone. Apply this around your cheek area, concentrating on the cheekbones and any sunken-in areas. Or apply a liquid or cream concealer that’s 1 shade lighter than your natural skin tone around your cheeks to make them pop.  Apply the lighter concealer to any areas around your face featuring dark shadows that draw your cheeks downward. Try eliminating dark undereye circles or dark lines around your mouth with a color-correcting concealer to make sure the upper parts of your cheeks really stand out. Try out a shimmery powder or a cream blush formula until you find which product you like best. Once you’ve applied your base of foundation, concealer, and powder, smile in the mirror so you can find the fullest part of your cheeks, known as the apples. Then use either a blush brush or your fingertips to apply the product around this area. Instead of sweeping on the blush in an angular motion, place it strategically around the bottom and outside edges to subtly contour the apples of your cheeks.  Pinch your cheeks to see what color your cheeks turn when they’re naturally flushed, then choose a blush in a similar hue. Avoid extending the blush below the apples of your cheeks or your cheekbones; this will only make your face look more sunken in. Pick a setting powder with subtle levels of shimmer to give your face a youthful, natural-looking glow. Use a powder brush to apply the product around the top of the apples of your cheeks and the top of your cheekbones. Extend it beneath your eye area, too, to brighten and lift the whole area.  The shimmer will catch the light and deceive the onlooking eye into seeing plumper, more youthful cheeks. Avoid anything too sparkly or glittery; it will appear more artificial and might draw attention to your sunken cheeks. Never sleep in your makeup; you’ll only speed up the aging process and contribute to uneven complexion....

Article in English: Apply your tanning mousse or gel immediately after you prep your skin to ensure the smoothest coat possible. Make sure that the product is formulated to work with DHA, which is the active ingredient in most self-tanners. The moisturizer will do double-duty for you by providing coverage for spots you may miss when you apply mousse or gel. Working this way will keep you from creasing your skin when you bend over to apply the self-tanner. You may need assistance applying a mousse or gel to your back and other hard-to-reach areas.

Article in English: Applying ice to your tailbone may help to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. For the first 48 hours after an injury to your tailbone, you can apply ice once per hour that you are awake. Apply a towel wrapped ice pack to your tailbone for 20 minutes at a time. After 48 hours you may apply ice for comfort, three times daily in the same manner. Take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) to reduce pain and swelling. These over-the-counter (OTC) products, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, can be purchased at any pharmacy or drugstore. Take 600 mg of ibuprofen every eight hours, or take 500 mg of acetaminophen every 4 hours. Do not exceed 3500 mg of acetaminophen in a 24-hour period. Poor posture may be contributing to your tailbone pain. Try to sit upright, with your core engaged, your neck straight, and your back slightly arched. If you get a sharp pain when getting up from a sitting position, lean forward and arch your back before rising. Special cushions, with a section cut out underneath the tailbone, are designed especially for patients with tailbone pain. This may help relieve some of the pain associated with sitting down.     It is possible to make your own cushion from a piece of foam rubber.  Just cut out a hole in the center so it is shaped like a toilet seat. Cushions shaped like a doughnut are not found helpful by most patients, as they are designed to relieve pressure on the genitals rather than the tailbone. Talk to your doctor about use of a wedge-shaped pillow. Studies show that applying heat to the tailbone area may decrease pain. Use a heating pad up to 4 times per day for 20 minutes each time. Try a warm compress or hot bath if you do not have a heating pad. If it turns out that you have a tailbone fracture, there is no cast that can be placed on the tailbone. You will just have to rest and avoid any strenuous activities for about eight to 12 weeks. If you have a physical job, you may need to arrange to take some time off from work while your body heals.

Article in English: Approach people you’re interested in conversing with and simply say hello.  Offer your name, and ask theirs. While it may feel awkward to start a conversation without an explicit reason for doing so, people are usually happy to be approached in a friendly manner.  If you’re in a group and hope to speak with one person in particular, don’t feel rushed to do so. Just sitting, listening, and enjoying one another’s company is a great way to become comfortable around other people. Wait for a moment to introduce yourself unobtrusively. Remember, silence is a form of communication. Even in social settings, a comfortable silence indicates confidence and contentment that people will respond to positively. In a group setting, ask each person that you haven’t already met for their name. This indicates a general friendliness that will convey to others that you're social and accessible. People like to talk about what they’re interested in, and questions that are geared accordingly can be great conversation starters.  Make sure to bring up some topics that you are interested in as well, such as your hobbies and interests, so that you can have a quality 2-way conversation. There are plenty of specific options.  Ask the person you’re curious about what they do for fun.  Not only does this get a conversation going, it shows that you’re curious about what they’re interested in and how they spend their time. Ask them what they do with their life, but don't be specific. Say something like, “So, what do you do with your days?” This allows people to answer however they want. If you’re looking for a particularly interesting question, try asking them about a recent quote they came across that changed how they viewed the world. Refrain from talking about your radical political or religious beliefs as soon as you meet someone.  Deeply personal topics should also be avoided, as well as private information.  Even if it seems like you might share a certain point of view with another person, you don’t need to immediately re-iterate your...

Article in English: Aquarium plants are the most common source of unwanted snails. They often harbor eggs or baby snails, which then reproduce once they’re in your tank. Fortunately, you can avoid putting infected plants into your aquarium by quarantining them for 2 weeks before putting them in your tank. If you see any snails during the quarantine period, pick them off the plant as soon as you notice them. Create your bleach solution by adding 1 part bleach to 19 parts water. Then, dip each individual plant into the solution and immediately withdraw it. This will kill any lingering snails or eggs. Rinse the plant in fresh water before putting it in your aquarium. You only need to submerge the plant in the solution for a second for it to work, so it's okay to just dip and remove the plant in one motion. , including removing the gravel. You can purge all of the snails by hand if you have the time. Move your fish to a temporary tank, then empty the water from the aquarium. Remove everything, including the gravel and substrate, from the tank, then scrub all of the snails from the sides of the tank.  Replace your gravel and substrate for best results. Before you put your plants and other fixtures back in the aquarium, clean them. One way to do this is to dip them in a cleaning solution that’s 19 parts water and 1 part bleach. This will kill any snails or eggs that are on them. If you don’t want to take everything out of the tank, you can use a siphon to suck out just the gravel and substrate. Additionally, you’ll need to pick the snails off the sides of the tank. Some fish eat snails and can clear out your tank for you. When selecting a predator fish, check its fact sheet to make sure it won’t eat your other fish. Additionally, make sure it’s not too big for your tank.  For a small fish tank, you might choose a zebra or dwarf chain loach. If you have a large fish tank, you can choose a clown loach, pictus catfish, koi, or large goldfish.  As an alternative, you might place an assassin snail into your tank. It will enjoy eating the...

Article in English: Aquarium sand and comes in a variety of colors, and you can choose your favorite as a base for your aquarium. Light colors do well, as they become almost glittery in water. You can also layer different colors, though keep in mind they will get mixed up over time.  Another option is a pale tan sand to make your aquarium look like the ocean. Pick sand for eels, knifefish, and rays. Sand is good for eels because they tend to stay on the bottom. Gravel can cut the eels if it's sharp. Rays need sand because they bury themselves in it. If you have a ray, though, you'll need lots of space for movement, too.  However, sand is harder to clean than rocks or gravel. Because it is so fine, you'll often suck it up into the cleaning tube as you clean the tank, though its fineness can also make it easier to pick up dirt off the surface of the sand. Aquarium gravel also comes in a wide variety of colors to add decoration to your tank. You could choose a nice blue to create an ocean-like effect or go for more psychedelic colors like hot pink, yellow, or green. You can also mix colors, as the larger pieces will keep the colors more distinct than sand. In fact, you can purchase gravel that is already mixed. Gravel is a good option for most types of fish, so it's a good option in a wide variety of tanks.  Try layering colors for a more interesting effect. Another option is smooth, round gravel in natural colors, which looks like river rocks. Medium-sized gravel is the best choice, although small gravel also works. Don't use large gravel. It can trap things under it, including fish and food. Most fish don't actually need a substrate. Therefore, if you don't want to put one in, you can skip it. You may find it aesthetically pleasing to have it, but you may also like the simplicity of leaving it off. It's up to you. Also, skip glass pebbles as a substrate. They can break down and create sharp edges. Additionally, they don't have a large enough surface area to help grow the good bacteria your tank needs.

Article in English: Aquariums or reptile tanks are the best way to house your dear sal. You should use a 10 gallon (37.9 L) tank, as this will provide enough room for your sal to hide, dig, and doze his days away. Aquariums tanks are best used for aquatic and semi-aquatic salamanders. Make sure you clean your tank before you create your salamander’s home. You can also use plastic or acrylic tanks if you do not want to purchase a glass tank. Salamanders are excellent climbers--they will make quick work of the sides of 10 gallon (37.9 L) tank. Because of this, it is important to have a lid that fits tightly on your tank so that your salamander cannot escape. Screen lids are best, as they provide your salamander with excellent ventilation. If you cannot purchase a screen top, a hood top will also work. This will depend on the type of salamander you have or are going to purchase. If you are not sure what your salamander prefers, ask your pet shop or run an online search.  Aquatic salamanders, like the Axolotl, spend their whole lives in the water. Semi-aquatic salamanders should have a tank that is half water, half land. Terrestrial salamanders should not have a water area in their tank. Again this will depend on the kind of salamander you have. Remember, the substeps listed here are just rough guidelines--you can be as creative as you like with your tanks.  Aquatic tank: You should use an aquarium to house your sal in. Layer the bottom of the tank with two inches of washed aquarium gravel. Gradually slope the tank so that the layered gravel goes from two inches to three inches deep. Plant some aquatic plants but know that you will have to replace them every so often because salamanders can be rough on aquatic plants. Semi-aquatic tank: Divide your tank with a half sheet of plexiglass so that one side is aquatic, and one side is terrestrial. Lay two inches of aquarium gravel on the aquatic side, along with some aquatic plants. Create a sloping gradient with the gravel so that the salamander can walk from the water to the land. On...

Article in English: Are you and your fiancee able to take the time off work? Have you left enough time to organize everything? Do your family and friends already have any important commitments? Is your chosen venue free on a given day? If not: is the date more important, or the venue? Talk to your partner, find out which season they like best, and compromise from there. The wedding is about the bride and the groom, not just one or the other. Both parties involved need to enjoy the occasion to ensure happy memories.  If he likes winter and you like summer, you might compromise for either spring or fall. Consider conceding to have the wedding in the winter, but agreeing that you get to choose the location. Perhaps there is a location that is warmer than average in the winter or colder than average in the summer. If you want an outdoor ceremony and he wants it in a church, opt to have the ceremony in the church, but have the celebration afterwards in the church garden or other outdoor venue that you like. Do they have any commitments or conflicts that will rule out certain weekends? Naturally, the date you choose won't be perfect for everyone. At the very least, be sure that all of your immediate family and other important "VIPs" will be available to attend. If any important people cannot make it on certain days, consider ruling out those times.  If you want to book your wedding near or on a major holiday, take into consideration that people might find it difficult to come to your wedding. For example if you want a wedding near Christmas, lots of people will already have made commitments. If all of your friends are into football, try not to set your wedding on Superbowl Sunday and make them choose.  Consider the cultures of your guests. Some religions have certain days during which they are required to fast (Ash Wednesday and Good Friday for Catholics or Ramadan for Muslims, for example). If you know you will be having guests with required fast days, having your wedding on one of these fasting days will make your guests feel...

Article in English: Are you used to sleeping in a full set of pajamas? Even if you normally wear a t-shirt to bed, you might need a night or two to adjust before sleeping fully nude. Going straight from fully clothed to naked might disrupt your sleep at first. Plan to wear just your underwear (no bra) at first to see how it feels.  Sleeping in just your underwear provides some of the benefits of sleeping naked. More of your skin is exposed to the air, and this circulation helps promote clearer skin. However, having underwear on will still cause your body to rely on that extra layer to help regulate heat. The parts of your body covered by underwear won't receive healthy air circulation. That's why it's worth giving nude sleeping a chance. Sleeping naked is healthy because it allows your skin to be free of constrictive clothing for a good seven to eight hours. Choose fabrics made from natural materials, preferably cotton, so that the air in your bedroom can circulate through to your body.  Using polyester and other synthetic materials isn't as healthy for your skin. The fabrics may keep you too warm or block the air, negating the positive effects of sleeping naked. If you're really concerned about having the healthiest night's sleep possible, choose sheets made with organic fibers. That way your naked skin won't be exposed to any chemicals. Many people complain that it's too cold to sleep naked during the winter. This can easily be remedied by using the proper bedclothes for the season. If you have a good down comforter, your body will adjust to the environment and stay nice and warm without the need for pajamas. In the summer, a sheet and a thin cotton blanket might be all you need to stay comfortable.  It helps to have a good collection of quilts or thin cotton blankets you can keep in your bedroom. That way you can add or subtract layers depending on your needs. Using a top sheet all year round is helpful. You can kick off your blanket if you need to and still have a sheet to keep you from feeling completely exposed. You may...
