Article in English: It is, predictably enough, skype.com. If you are using a tablet or mobile device such as an iPad or Kindle, it may be easiest to instead go to the device's "store," such as the App Store or the Amazon Shop. Search "Skype." Your computer may ask you if you would like to download the installer file. Click "Yes."  The file downloaded to a standard Windows computer will be named SkypeSetup.exe, and it should be roughly 1.5 megabytes in size. For a Mac, the downloaded file will start with "Skype" and end with ".dmg." There will probably be some numbers in between that indicate the updated version of Skype that you have downloaded, but the digits change frequently. For most mobile devices, just click the "Get" or "Download" link (depending on your device) and the program should begin to install itself (meaning you can skip the next several steps). If using a Mac, double click on the downloaded file. A window will appear with icons representing the Skype program and your Applications folder. Move the Skype icon to the Applications folder and the installation process is complete. If using a Windows PC, you may be asked if you would like to let the program make changes to your computer. Click "Yes." If using a Mac or mobile device, this is probably an unnecessary step. If you are using a Windows PC, there are a few more steps to complete.   Skype will ask you what language you would like to use, and you must select one (from a rather substantial list of options). There will be a box with the words "Run Skype when the computer starts" (this is located under the language preference menu). The box is automatically checked, meaning that Skype will open every time you start up. You may want to un-check the box now, so you can determine when Skype is running. There is also a "More Options" selection that is highlighted in blue. If you click on it you can determine the location on your computer to which Skype will be installed, and you can also determine whether you want a desktop icon for Skype. Make your decisions and...

Article in English: It may be difficult to find packaged lentil seeds at your local garden center. You may need to go to a specialty garden retailer or purchase from an organic seed business online. However, for planting purposes, any whole, dry lentils that you find in the grocery store will work just fine. Split lentils will not work, so be sure to get whole lentils. Place the seeds into a colander and rinse them with a bit of water. Pick out and throw away any that are broken, cracked, or discolored. Lentils thrive with the cool, crisp weather of March. Then, they reach maturity in the hot temperatures of summer. To keep your seeds alive, the ground temperature will need to be at least 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius) when you plant. If you have a frost after planting, don’t worry as most seedlings will survive this, even if they have to restart from the roots. If you want more flexible planting options, lentils can also be planted indoors as long as the room temperature is kept around 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius). In colder seasons, some people use indoor garden lighting to maintain a consistent temperature. Lentils grow well in both open gardens and containers. The key is to provide the plant with plenty of full sunlight. It helps to plant them alongside low lying plants so that the lentils are not overshadowed. Make sure that the soil stays moist without accumulating standing water on the top, as that can rot out the roots.  If you choose to plant your lentils in a container, choose one that is at least 8 inches (20 cm) deep to allow for full root maturity.  If you are concerned about the acidity or alkalinity of your soil, get a quick pH test from the garden store. Lentils grow well in the pH range of 6.0 to 6.5.

Article in English: It may be hard to determine if you need to gain weight, as well as how much. Your doctor can help you understand the best target weight for your body so you can set a goal for gaining weight. Then, they’ll help you identify a healthy dietary and exercise plan to meet your needs. Don’t start a new diet or exercise plan without discussing it with your doctor. They can help you understand what’s safe for you to try. Exercise is important for your health, so you shouldn’t stop exercising to gain weight. Your doctor will help you figure out how to get at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week without halting your weight gain. Dealing with cancer is difficult, especially since you’re likely low on energy. While chemotherapy can help you fight cancer, it may also make you struggle to eat or keep food down. You may be able to eat more if you stick to soft foods, like soup or mashed potatoes. Puree solid foods like cooked veggies so they’re easier to keep down. Try adding milk and cheese to your meals to increase the nutrients while keeping the texture soft. Your doctor may be able to give you additional tips. Everyone is different, so what works for someone else may not work for you. Try not to give up because there’s likely something that will work for you.

Article in English: It may be painful to admit at first. But saying “I was fired” out loud to yourself or to others can help you process the trauma of being fired. Unload the negative feelings you have towards getting fired by admitting it to yourself and to others in an open way. Be honest if a potential employer asks you how you left your old job. Explain the specific details around the reasons for your firing, but stress that you left the company on good terms. This will show the potential employer you are willing to be honest and upfront, but can still be professional. Focus on your relationships with your partner, your family members, and your close friends. Avoid dealing with your stress and anger alone. Don't be afraid to open up to your friends and family about the trauma of being fired. Though you may be tempted to isolate yourself and try to tackle your feelings on your own, you may need to turn to your loved ones for support, and that's okay. Talking about getting fired with your partner, your family or close friends can definitely help you deal with the trauma of being fired. But professional help from a therapist or counselor will help you work through any anger issues you may have as a result of being fired. Though you may be tempted to focus on moving forward, it’s important to deal with any intense emotions you may have due to getting fired. That way, you can move forward in a healthy and stable way. The "what if" thinking can be easy to fall into. "What if I had just not been late for that one meeting?" "What if I had done more over time?" But living in the past will not help you move forward. "What ifs" are impossible to answer and will stall your ability to re focus on the positive aspects of your life. Rather than think of "what ifs", think about "what now's". As in, "what can I now do with my open time?" "what can I now do to move forward and succeed?" Use this open time to decompress and de-stress by doing activities you never had the time or energy to do before. Try not to fall into a routine of inactivity...

Article in English: It may be surprising but vaccinations can prevent some eye infections. Cat flu and chlamydia are two common causes of eye infections that vaccination can prevent. Eye infections are commonly caused either by bacteria or viruses. Viral infections are self-limiting and the cat's own immune system will fight the infection. Bacterial infections are treated with topical eye ointments or drops that contain antibiotic.  Viruses which affect the eye include herpesvirus and calicivirus. Some veterinarians will supply topical antibiotics even if a viral infection is suspected, this is because these infections could be mixed with complicating bacteria that cause secondary infections.  The bacteria that may colonize the eye and cause infection include Staphylococci, E.coli, Proteus, and Pseudomonas. It is very important to always wash your hands thoroughly after handling a cat with sticky eyes, as these infections can spread. Depending on the formulation antibiotic treatments are applied anywhere from twice a day to hourly. Oral antibiotics are not usually given for eye infections unless it is not possible to use an ointment because of the cat's temperament. Treatment is usually given for a minimum of 5 days, and should not be discontinued before this because of the risk of inducing antibiotic resistance.

Article in English: It may seem fairly obvious, but if you're suffering from fatigue, the first and foremost step is to ensure that you are getting enough sleep every night.  It's estimated that two-thirds of people experience sleep problems at some point in their lives, and these sleep problems negatively affect their energy levels, mood and work performance the next day.  Therefore it's important that you go to bed at a reasonable hour, to ensure that you get at least 7, and ideally 8 hours sleep per night. If you have trouble getting to sleep (no matter how tired you are), there are several adjustments you should make to your night-time routine. Aside from getting enough sleep, it's important that you try to go to sleep and wake up at approximately the same time every day (even on weekends).  This helps to set your body clock to a regular schedule - for example, if you go to bed at 10 pm and wake up at 6 am every day, your body will soon adjust to and accept this new schedule and you will naturally feel sleepy at 10 and awake and refreshed at 6. However, if you follow an erratic sleeping schedule - waking up and going to bed at a different time each day - your body will be out of sync and you may have difficulty falling asleep at night and a hard time staying awake during the day. It's also important to make sure that your bedroom is a comfortable, relaxing space where sleep is the main focus.  Ensure that the temperature is comfortable for sleeping in - not too hot or not too cold. Invest in a fan or just open a window if your room is stuffy, as sleeping in a hot room is not conducive to good sleep. Try to eliminate all sources of light -  the window, electric lights and any blinking or LED lights on alarm clocks, televisions, or other electrical devices. If you don't want to turn them off, just cover them with a thick cloth. Reduce noise levels as much as possible.Close your bedroom door and ask anyone still awake to keep the television/music turned down. If you find it difficult to drown out noise from the street, consider...

Article in English: It may sound like the kind of advice your mother gives you, but it also applies to fashion! Make sure your shoes match your dress in terms of formality.  If you’re wearing a gown because you are going to a formal event, wear heels. If you’re wearing a sun dress for the beach, wear sandals instead of close-toed shoes. If you are wearing a cocktail dress and heels, don’t wear rubber bracelets or jewelry that is low quality. Likewise, if you are wearing a casual dress for brunch with friends, don’t wear a diamond necklace. These may be extreme examples, but you want to be sure that your accessories match the occasion. You want your handbag to compliment your dress but also to be appropriate for whatever you are doing. Many women overlook the impression that a handbag can make!  If you're going to a formal event, do not use a large or bulky handbag. Bring a simple clutch instead. Save straw or cloth bags for the beach or informal events. You can never go wrong with a basic black leather handbag. It's versatile and can go with virtually any dress or level of formality. If you are wearing a professional or elegant dress, try not to wear too many accessories. Accessories would detract from the elegance of your dress and would downplay your outfit.  Don’t wear layered or chunky jewelry. Instead, wear one or two simple pieces. Be careful with accessories like hats or scarves. Only wear them if they add to the elegance of your look.

Article in English: It may sound or taste weird, but for the sake of white teeth, you should try it. Brushing with baking soda will make a visible difference in the whiteness of your teeth.  To clean your teeth with baking soda, sprinkle some baking soda on your toothbrush and brush as normal. Don't leave the baking soda on your teeth for too long and also you shouldn't brush too hard. Baking soda left on too long or scrubbed on too hard can erode the enamel on your teeth, causing more harm than good. Just add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to baking soda until it creates a paste. Then use the paste as you would commercial toothpaste. The addition of hydrogen peroxide whitens your teeth even more than baking soda alone. Because this combination can be very abrasive, you should only use it for a few days and then discontinue use for a few months. This will assure that you don't damage your tooth enamel. The simplest to use is whitening toothpaste, as it can be used like normal toothpaste. However, there are a wide variety of other teeth whitening products. They usually come in the form of teeth whitening gels, strips, or bleaches that are applied with teeth trays. These products are very effective for getting rid of smoking stains. Use gels and bleaches sparingly. Stripes are okay to use on a regular basis. There are a variety of natural products that are said to whiten teeth. These include banana peels, strawberries, and apple cider vinegar. You can even swish coconut oil around in your teeth.  To use strawberries, mash several strawberries up and mix with some baking soda. Use as a toothpaste. This may be effective because of the malic acid in strawberries. Rub the inside of banana peels on your teeth to whiten them. The inside of the peel has a variety of minerals that can help the health of your teeth. One part apple cider vinegar can be mixed with three parts water and then mixed into your normal toothpaste. If you then brush as normal, the stain-fighting power of your toothpaste will be enhanced. To use coconut oil put a...

Article in English: It may sound pretty basic, but it's important to have all of your note-taking materials organized and ready to go before the start of any class, meeting or lecture.  If you're writing with paper and pens, make sure you have a notebook with plenty of blank pages and extra writing utensils. If you're using a laptop, make sure it's fully charged or that you can sit near a power outlet. If you wear glasses, make sure you have them with you in case the teacher/lecturer writes down any important information on a black or whiteboard. If you bring your glasses, make sure to bring a small microfiber cloth so that you are able to clean them should the need arise. Also, remember to position yourself in an area of the room where you can effectively see and hear the speaker. Before you come to a class, lecture, or meeting, make sure to review your notes from the last time round. This will bring you fully up to speed and ready to pick up where you left off.  If you were advised to do any background reading to prepare for the class, make sure that you read and annotated the assignment. This will help you to understand any themes, concepts or ideas that the teacher/lecturer is likely to present in class. A good idea would be to outline the section, article, or chapter before hand. Write your outline on one side of the paper so that you can add your class notes to the other side.  Remember the old adage "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail". When note-taking, many people make the mistake of mindlessly taking down every word, without really comprehending what is being said. Instead, make an effort to understand the topic while you're in class. Focus on what's really being said, then ask questions if you don't understand.  Determine the best time to ask questions, then raise your hand to get the instructor's attention. They'll appreciate that you're listening attentively and want to understand. Do your best to understand the information during class so you won't have to work so hard during the review. Although...

Article in English: It may take an infection a few days to show after you’ve had your navel pierced. Pay attention to the piercing and be mindful of any red-colored skin or any leaky discharge from the site. If you’ve had your navel recently pierced and notice these symptoms, it’s probably infected. If you had your navel pierced by a professional piercer, they should have given you directions concerning how to keep your piercing clean and free from infection. Follow these to prevent infection. Minor infections following a piercing typically clear up on their own as long as the piercing is kept clean. However, if it’s been more than 4 days and you still feel pain in your navel—and if the area is still red—make an appointment to see your doctor. They can prescribe an antibiotic to clear up the infection. Make an appointment with your doctor immediately if you have a fever in addition to the infection, or if the infection is intensely painful. If you play with or remove and re-insert your piercing, it’s more likely to be contaminated by bacteria. So, leave the piercing in for at least 2 months (or as long as a professional piercer recommends). Wash your piercing daily with soap and water to remove any infection-causing bacteria. If you’re worried about re-infection, also try to wear relatively loose, baggy shirts. Tight shirts don’t allow the belly button to dry out and can trap bacteria inside, both of which can lead to re-infection.

Article in English: It might take your best friend a couple days to sort through their thoughts and feelings. Give them some space and time to figure out how they feel, as well as what they want to say to you. While you should give your best friend a day or two to process what you've told them, continue hanging out and talking with them as you normally would unless they say they need some time to themselves. After you’ve told your best friend your feelings, give them time to process them. Whether they seem confused, excited, embarrassed or any other type of emotion, stay calm and be respectful of their feelings. If your best friend tells you they like you too, awesome! Take your time when starting a relationship and avoid jumping into things too quickly. Remember that your friendship is still very important, and you don’t want to do anything to jeopardize it. Start by planning a romantic date for just the two of you to test out how your new relationship will work. If your best friend tells you that they don’t see you that way and just want to be friends, accept this news and try to put it past you. While it’s normal to feel awkward around your best friend because of your shared feelings, be proud of yourself for putting yourself out there and make an effort to keep your friendship just as strong. It’s a good idea to put some distance between yourself and your best friend for a little while after revealing your feelings if you’re feeling especially sad about their decision. If you're feeling sad about your best friend's decision, try to focus on things you enjoy. Spend time hanging out with other friends, visiting with family, and exploring your hobbies and passions to help put you in a good mood.  Make arts and crafts, play a sport, read, or write music to help you focus on things you love. If you need to talk about your feelings with someone, ask a family member or other close friend if they wouldn't mind listening and giving you advice.

Article in English: It needs to be watertight. There are many possible ways to make an enclosure, but it needs to be quite large, even for small turtles -- many sources say that you can start in a large and deep plastic tub, but will need to make much larger enclosures as your turtle grows. You can make a dedicated turtle table out of wood, repurpose an old bookshelf with the shelves removed, or use a plastic kiddie pool. Your ultimate choice will depend on the species of land turtle. Turtles have specific needs, and the exact specifications will vary depending on the turtle you choose. Make sure you have everything in place before you get your turtle. You can’t just get the different parts together as you go -- the turtles will need everything immediately. Turtles will need substrate, which allows them to dig, and can also help in waste disposal. It’s vital that you choose a good-quality and appropriate substrate, because they will have so much contact with it. Turtles need lights that provide UV-B so that they get Vitamin B. Keep in mind you’ll need to purchase new light bulbs every 6 months to a year because they lose their ability to produce UV-B.. Different turtles need different levels of humidity, so check the needs of your species. It could be low, middle, or high, depending on the native environment of your turtle. Most will need some kind of misting on their substrate. You might have to buy a heat lamp for the proper environment for your turtle or tortoise. Particularly if you have a turtle that is not native to your area, heat might prove to be the most essential element for your land turtle. Box turtles and tortoises should have some kind of water in their structures. Again, it will depend on the species, but all will need a shallow water dish or bowl to soak in (and possibly defecate into). This is an essential part of the way turtles interact with their environment. It could be as simple as a small plastic box or bowl with a hole cut in the side.

You can paste it into another document from here. If you have more than one OneNote notebook, you can select the notebook you'd like to save the screenshot in here. You can also click + on the left side of the notebook's icon to view and select a specific notebook page. This will open your specified page in OneNote and paste the screenshot there.  You can also just click Copy to Clipboard to save the screenshot to your clipboard so that you can paste it elsewhere.

A cheap white ballpoint pen or basic marker (including a highlighter or dry erase marker), in each case with the cap on, will work well. You could also use a long rod, a cylindrical container of chapstick, or a slim knife sharpener. Carabiners work well, too. You can put in your lap to keep it in place. You could simply rest it on a table as well. You can also place the object against a wall or other vertical surface and press horizontally. Push on the bottle's wide base to force the cork in easily.  Hold the neck area and the other end of your object to prevent slipping. Make sure the surface is strong enough so that it will not dimple, or protected, like a wall padded with some junk mail. The cork is usually already recessed slightly into the bottle's neck.  If the cork is flush with the end of the bottle, push your object against the cork to force it in a little. This will allow your object to stay in place without slipping off the side of the bottle.

You can select multiple colors to have the gradient move between all of them, and you can set a direction or angle for the gradient.  background: linear-gradient(direction/angle, color1, color2, color3, etc.); If you don't specify the direction, the gradient will go from top to bottom. To create your gradient, add the following code between the <style></style> tags:   html {     min-height: 100%;  } body {     background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#93B874, #C9DCB9);      background: -o-linear-gradient(#93B874, #C9DCB9);      background: -moz-linear-gradient(#93B874, #C9DCB9);      background: linear-gradient(#93B874, #C9DCB9);      background-color: #93B874;  }   Different browsers have different implementations of the gradient function, so you'll have to include several versions of the code. If you'd rather create a gradient that isn't strictly vertical, you can add direction to the gradient in order to change the way the color shift appears. Do so by typing the following in between the <style></style> tags:   html {     min-height: 100%; }  body {     background: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #93B874, #C9DCB9);      background: -o-linear-gradient(right, #93B874, #C9DCB9);      background: -moz-linear-gradient(right, #93B874, #C9DCB9);      background: linear-gradient(to right, #93B874, #C9DCB9);      background-color: #93B874;  }   You can play around with the "left" and "right" tags to experiment with different directions for your gradient.

Article in English: It should be when you two are alone and feel comfortable and relaxed. You can slip it into a conversation casually. Suggest playfully that you can be her date for the night and show her what it would be like to date you.  You should ideally ask her out in person, but over the phone is also an acceptable option. Do not ask someone out over e-mail or Facebook.  Ask her when you are alone together. She may feel uncomfortable and embarrassed if her friends are around. That may cause her just to say no, regardless of how she feels. If you ask her out on a date in person, take the time to look nice. You don't need to get decked out in a suit and tie, but you shouldn't ask her out in your gym clothes either. You have a better chance at getting a date if you dress up a little.  Be well groomed and clean. Smell pleasant, but not overly scented. Additionally, make sure you brush your teeth and floss before you approach her. Whether you propose a trip to the movies or offer to cook her dinner, she might misinterpret your question as just a friendly gesture. Again, make it clear that this is a date.  Try saying something like this: “We should go see a movie together. We could make a date of it!” or “I’d love to take you on a date to the fair this weekend.” This is clearer than asking her to “hang out.” She might be worried about your friendship, so tell her that you enjoy being her friend and that you want to stay friends no matter what. Study dates are less uncomfortable and a good excuse to get together, especially if she has been dropping hints about failing a subject or just having trouble in class. There is less pressure for it to be a date date and will give you a chance to spend some alone time together. Since you are already friends, she already knows and appreciates your sense of humor. Try making a special t-shirt that says something like “Will you go on a date with me? Yes or No.” It will lighten the mood and make her think about how funny you are and how she already likes spending time with you.

Article in English: It takes about a week for symptoms to appear after an individual is infected. The symptoms presented by those infected with dengue determine its severity and the treatment plan. After you've been bitten by a dengue-infected mosquito, symptoms will appear typically four to seven days later. These symptoms generally last about three to ten days. There are two major classifications of dengue: without and without warning signs.  Dengue without warning signs is usually identified by the presence of a fever (40 degrees Celsius/104 degrees Fahrenheit) and two or more of the following: nausea or vomiting; a rash that causes the face to redden and red patches to develop on arms, legs, chest, and back; body ache and pain; low white blood cell count; swelling of glands in the neck and behind the ear.  Dengue with warning signs is classified similarly to dengue without warning signs, but patients in this category exhibited one or more of the following: abdominal pain; persistent vomiting; fluid accumulation in abdomen and lungs; bleeding from gums, eyes, nose; lethargy or restlessness; enlarged liver.  Such warning signs indicate that the dengue infection may be serious and could progress to associated bleeding and organ failure, or what is called dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). If one or more of the above symptoms are present, the subsequent 24-48 hours of dengue infection could be lethal without proper hospital care. Severe dengue includes symptoms from both of the above classifications along with any of the following:  Severe bleeding or blood in urine Severe fluid accumulation in abdomen, lung Loss of consciousness Involvement of other organs, such as heart, leading to further fluid accumulation, low pressure, high pulse rate If any of these symptoms are present, take the person immediately to the nearest hospital. All patients with severe dengue or dengue that presents with warning signs should go to the hospital as soon as possible. Those who present without warning signs should also visit the hospital for a...

Article in English: It used to be more common to teach children how to act by punishing undesirable behaviour. Experts in early childhood development brain scientists, education experts, and psychologists now agree that punishment is not the best way to help children learn desirable behaviours. Children grow up healthier and happier when they are disciplined using more positive methods. The science is in on the efficacy of corporal punishment: spanking or otherwise hitting children, including young children, does not work and has all kinds of negative effects. Reliable scientific studies have shown that spanking or other forms of hitting children can alter their brain development, predispose them to mood disorders later in life, and actually keep them from learning how to control their own behaviour. Young children might misbehave because they are hungry, tired, or bored. Or, they might not understand the rules that you have set out for them. Children might also misbehave because they are confused or because they do not want to stop doing something. If a child asks you questions about the rules you have set up, then that is a clue that they do not understand what is expected of them. Take the time to help the child understand what is expected of them. Use clear and simple language, and be prepared to patiently repeat the information now and later on. Four-year-olds need you to be flexible and patient. It is absolutely normal for children this age to not be able to follow rules all the time. When children make mistakes, the best tactic is to be supportive instead of angry. When a mistake happens, turn this into a learning opportunity for you and your child. Talk with your child about what she or he can learn from the experience and why it is important for them to follow the rule in the future.  Be supportive and respectful when your four-year-old makes a mistake. Children this age are not capable of acting perfectly. They are learning what rules are and how to follow them – making mistakes is a normal and important part of the...

Article in English: It will be easier to identify, stop, and prevent drug activity in your neighborhood if you work together. Your neighbors may have noticed things you haven’t, and vice versa. If you suspect that there are drug dealings going on in your neighborhood,  look for warning signs. Visitors at strange hours, blocked-up windows, and odd smells may be signs of drug activity.  Excessive foot traffic to and from a house and loitering may be signs that illicit activity is occurring. Another suspicious pattern is the presence of many cars that stop at the house for a short period of time and then leave. Other possible signs of drug activity include graffiti and gang activity in the area, although these are not always linked. Surprisingly, people can be careless about concealing drug paraphernalia such as hypodermic needles and pipes, even when a police presence has been established in the neighborhood. If you see signs of these materials, call the police. If you find evidence of drug paraphernalia, don't collect it or look around for additional materials. Take note of where you found it, what type of paraphernalia it was, what time of day you discovered it, and on what date, and report those details to the police. Always stay safe and don’t approach potential dealers, but gathering details about the activities you observe can help police take the proper action. If the drug dealer lives nearby, you can often document activities from the safety of your own home.  If you observe suspicious traffic activity, take notes of license plate numbers, car models and colors, and approximate times of visits. If you are concerned about a particular individual, write down a detailed description including height, build, hair color, and any identifying features. Also include the circumstances that have caused your suspicion. If you feel that the situation is dangerous, be cautious. Do not openly collect information, take photographs, or do other things that might provoke a hostile dealer. Remember: if they are operating in your...

Article in English: It will help to lessen the likelihood of shock if you can elevate your legs or position your head lower than your trunk. If you are helping someone else, check their breathing and circulation before proceeding. If you suspect the person you are helping is in shock, seek medical attention or call emergency services right away. Raising the wounded limb (assuming it is an extremity that is injured) above the heart will help to reduce severe bleeding. If you suspect a broken bone, however, do not attempt to move the limb. Clean up any visible foreign body and dirt, but do not clean the wound thoroughly as this can aggravate the wound. Your immediate priority is to stop severe bleeding. Cleaning the wound can wait. If the foreign object is large, however (e.g., a large piece of glass, a knife, or similar), do not remove it. It is most likely stopping a lot of the bleeding itself. Just put pressure on the area around the object, taking care not to push it in further. Use a pad of clean gauze, dressing, or clothing. Even your hand can work if nothing else is available. Place your hand over the pad and apply firm pressure to the wound with your fingers or a hand. If the injury is on a limb, you can use tape or a cloth wrapped around the wound to maintain pressure (a folded triangular bandage placed over the wound and tied is ideal). For injuries to the groin or other parts of the body where you cannot wrap the wound, use a heavy pad and keep using your hands to press on the wound. Add more gauze or additional bandages if the original soaks through. Do not over-wrap it, however, as increased bulk risks reducing pressure on the wound. If you suspect the bandage is not working, remove the bandage and pad and reassess the application. If the bleeding appears controlled, maintain pressure until you are sure the bleeding has stopped or medical help has arrived. If you cannot stop the bleeding by pressure alone, combine using direct pressure to the wound with pressure to one of these pressure points. Use your fingers to...

Article in English: It will not always be possible to protect your children from the habits of other people; therefore, it is important that they also understand why they should not smoke, and why they should try to avoid secondhand smoke. If you are not sure how to best talk to your children about this topic, consider using alternative methods.  Search for videos, which might help your children understand the dangers of smoking and secondhand smoke. Your behavior has a strong impact on your children. Telling your children that smoking is unhealthy, and that they should stay away from people who are smoking when you are a smoker yourself sends a confusing message to your child. Most schools offer an anti-tobacco program, but some may have a less well-developed program than others. Ask your child’s teacher what the school’s program involves, and whether or not they include education about secondhand smoke in their program. If you are not satisfied with the current program, consider asking how you might be able to get involved in improving the program. Simply telling your child that smoking and secondhand smoke are bad does not help them understand exactly why they should not do it.  Explain to them the different ways that smoking and secondhand smoke can harm the body. Use examples to back up your points. If you tell them that smoking is bad for their lungs, you might consider showing them a picture of a smoker’s lungs. Be clear that while choosing not to smoke is the most important thing they can do, avoiding secondhand smoke is also important for avoiding negative health effects. Point out, for example, that even secondhand smoke exposure can lead to lung cancer. Some evidence suggests that children feel pressure to do something simply because they think their peers are doing it too. Though it may be true that much of the pressure a child feels comes from their own minds, they may also, at some point, be pressured by someone else to try a cigarette or other tobacco product. Preparing them for this possibility will help them say...

Article in English: It would be a nightmare to announce a band if there is another band with your name.  Some places to check include ASCAP , BMI , and BandName.com, which allows you to register a band name.   Google your name. See if any other bands come up. This sounds obvious, but sometimes people forget to do it. For inspiration, study up on the meanings behind some of the most iconic band names. The domain name means your name is the URL before the .com. You might want to pick a different name, if you can’t make a website in your band’s exact name because the name is already taken.   You can check with sites that sell domain names online. They will tell you if it's available, and the cost is not usually very high. You can find many sites online for what are called domain registrars.   Having a domain name gives your site more credibility, and the name will follow you when you change hosting services. Also, purchasing your domain name stops opponents or competitors from buying and using your band's name as a domain name. It’s a good idea to come up with more than one band name. Then, test it out!  Show the list of names to people you know from different socio-economic backgrounds, but also from your target audience. Don’t just ask them which name they prefer; ask them what they think of when they hear each name. your band name. If you want to make sure someone can’t take your band name, you should trademark it.  It could be a disaster if another band trademarked your name after you did it. A trademark is simply a brand name.   The other band would have to prove they had the name first. Getting a federal trademark is not mandatory. Still, you should do it to avoid the hassle.  If you are confused, hire a trademark attorney.   You can trademark your name and learn all of the basics of trademarking through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.  It’s possible to apply for registration online for a few hundred dollars. The office also has a database of registered trademarks you can search.

Article in English: It'll be much easier to administer a shot if you understand the mechanics behind what you're doing.  Syringes have three main parts: the needle, barrel and plunger. The needle goes into the muscle; the barrel has markings, either in cc (cubic centimeters) or mL (milliliters), with numbers next to the markings, and it contains the medicine; the plunger is used to get medicine into and out of the syringe.  Medication injected intramuscularly (IM) is measured in cm3s or mLs. The amount of medication in a cc is the same as in a mL. The human body has a number of spots that are most receptive.   Vastus Lateralis Muscle (Thigh): Look at your thigh and divide it into three equal parts. The middle third is where the injection would go. The thigh is a good place to give yourself an injection because it is easy to see. It is also a good spot for children younger than three years old.   Ventrogluteal Muscle (Hip): To find the correct location, place the heel of your hand on the upper, outer part of the thigh where it meets the buttocks. Point your thumb at the groin and your fingers toward the person's head. Form a V with your fingers by separating your first finger from the other three fingers. You will feel the edge of a bone along the tips of your little and ring fingers. The place to give the injection is in the middle of the V. The hip is a good place for an injection for adults and children older than seven months.   Deltoid Muscle (Upper arm muscle): Completely expose the upper arm.  Feel for the bone that goes across the top of the upper arm. This bone is called the acromion process. The bottom of it will form the base of the triangle. The point of the triangle is directly below the middle of the base at about the level of the armpit. The correct area to give an injection is in the center of the triangle, 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) below the acromion process. This site should not be used if the person is very thin or the muscle is very small.   Dorsogluteal Muscle (Buttocks): Expose one side of the buttocks....

Article in English: It's a good idea to test the henna paste on a small strand of hair before dyeing all your hair. This way, you'll get a chance to see if you like the color. Some hair may also react poorly to henna dye, so you want to make sure your hair does not dry out too much. Choose a stand from the back of your head, which you can easily cover up with other hair, and dye this with the henna paste. As you would when dyeing your whole scalp, leave the paste in for one to two hours. Then, rinse out your hair. Henna can cause skin allergies for some, so you want to make sure your skin can tolerate henna before use. Pour some paste on a small patch of skin and rinse off. Wait a day. If you notice any adverse reactions, like redness or swelling, it's probably a bad idea to dye your hair using henna. Henna can react poorly with commercial dyes. If you've recently dyed your hair with a chemical product, wait at least a month before using henna paste in your hair. Henna should not be ingested and it should not get in your eyes. Make sure you keep henna away from your eyes and mouth when dyeing your hair. In the event henna gets into your eyes, flush with cool water. If irritation continues after flushing your eye, make an appointment with a physician.

Article in English: It's always important to wash raw spinach to remove dirt and bacteria from the leaves. Place the spinach in a bowl of water and use your hands to move the leaves around in the water. Then, rinse the spinach carefully. If you see any brown, damaged, or mushy leaves, pull them out and throw them away. Pack the spinach tightly into a freezer bag, then close the bag most of the way. Press out as much air as you can without crushing the spinach, then finish sealing the bag and put it in the freezer. This way, you can preserve the spinach for up to 6 months. If you do need to use a hard-sided container, try to fill the container all the way. However, avoid cramming the spinach into the container before you seal it, because the spinach may expand as it freezes.

Article in English: It's as simple as that. To get good at something, you have to do it. You have to do it over and over and over. So write. Every day. It can be a diary entry, it could be your next bestseller; it doesn't really matter. Just put that pen to paper and get going. Keep it all in one place. Having a notebook or binder dedicated to your English work will keep you organized and motivated. The better you get, the easier it will be to see your progress. You can look back and marvel at how bad you used to be and how awesome you are now. However, it's kinda pointless if you don't ever get it checked or corrected. You want to get better at the entire language, not just the language you're capable of right now. You have two options here:  The Internet. It's amazing; it really is. Sites like italki.com and lang-8 can correct your work for free! Don't get off wikiHow just yet, but do keep those sites in mind. A friend. Obviously. But the great thing about writing is that you can email your friend and wherever they are, they can get it, correct it, and get it back to you. So whether they're a mile away or in the middle of Canada, progress can be had. If you write like a six-year-old, regardless of how correct your writing is, it still is going to sound like a six-year-old. The only difference between a six-year-old with good grammar and a 20-year-old with good grammar is their vocabulary. So whenever you run into a phrase you want to start incorporating into your writing (or speech), write it down. And then make a point to use it. A good idea is to start learning collocations. That's a fancy term for words that go together. "Get married" is useful, but "get married to someone" is even better -- that way you know not to say "get married with." If you said you "received a cold," you'd receive some funny looks -- but not if you said you "caught a cold." See how that works? While knowing a lot of words is all well and good, if you type like this,your writing isn't going 2 look very good u know? Painful. Make sure you have your...

Article in English: It's best to use cornstarch when the oil is fresh. Sprinkle the powder on the stain, and let it absorb the oil. If the oil stain is older, try rubbing in the powder with your fingers to help remove the oil stain. The heat from your fingers will help remove the stain. Use your fingers to brush the powder off. You can also try a dry rag to remove most of the oil first. If your belt has gotten wet in certain places, you've likely ended up with water stains.

Article in English: It's common to want the white, rubbery sole on Vans to look crisp and new, so it might take a little extra effort and extra supplies to return that fresh out-of-the-box look to your old Vans. This works for other canvas-style shoes, as well, like Toms or Keds. To clean the whites of your Vans, you can use a variety of household ingredients, like:  Bleach Liquid nail polish remover (acetone) Rubbing alcohol Window cleaner Magic eraser Hydrogen peroxide Baking soda and water Lemon juice Set out your shoes and cleaning product on a clean towel and use an old toothbrush or a shoe brush to apply the cleaner. If you're going to work inside with bleach, or some other cleaning product with the potential for staining, make sure you've got plenty of cover down. Acetone and bleach need to be applied outside, probably, or in well-ventilated area. Using one of the serious above-described cleaners on the canvas of colored Vans will leave stains, which means you need to use some masking tape to cover the canvas, at least where it meets the sole. Alternatively, some people think it looks cool to have bleach-spattered Vans. Your choice.

Article in English: It's definitely tough being a middle-schooler, but you're beginning to learn how to balance out all the work and drama in your life. Don't be too over-committed or you won't have time to hang out with him and remember that there's more to life than middle school and it won't be long before you're not even sure what you ever saw in that boy!  If he feels he can't keep up with you, he might get too nervous and think that you're out of his league. If you are very socially active, invite him to come along one day with you and some of your friends. This will give him a chance to be around you outside of school and in your natural state. Don't make him feel like you're never around. If you bring him along make sure he feels comfortable. Likewise, don't under-commit or you could seem like a loser. You want to surround your life with interesting activities and friends regardless of whether he likes you. If he does like you, your life just got that much better. If he doesn't like you, your life is fun and meaningful without him! This means being comfortable in your own skin, doing what you want to do, and saying what you want to say. The people who don't love and respect you for who you are truly aren't worth fighting for. Don't try to be somebody you're not. He'll like you just the way you are. You may even have some things in common. If you think that he might like you, try to be a little more forward with him. Let him know you're interested, but not desperate. If you're not sure where he's at, be careful about following these steps; they might not turn out the way you had hoped!  Ask him, "Hey, would you like to hang out with me sometime?". If he says yes, you've done your part. Smile and tell him you have to go. Then walk away without looking back. Now the ball is in his court. Suggest going to the movies or a school sports game together. Asking him to the movies would be a little more formal of a date, but you could also suggest going with friends. Asking him to a school sports game doesn't have to be a "date."...

Article in English: It's easiest to copy a cartoon character if you have something to work with! Look up a detailed picture of your favorite character, and use that to guide your drawing. You can even look up tutorials on how to draw specific characters to make life easier. Sketch in circles, ovals, and rectangles to help get the figure in the correct perspective. Look closely at the face, for instance, to see if it's more of a circle or oval, then sketch that into place. Maybe the torso is more of an oval shape, so make a light sketch for that. Add rectangles for the limbs, including ovals or circles for the arms. If your character has unusual ears, such as Mickey Mouse's round ears, sketch those in. Similarly, add in ovals or circles for the hands, depending on what the character's hands look like. Don't forget to add shoes or feet! Add a curving center line for the face, going vertically. The line should curve in the direction the character is facing. If the character is looking straight ahead, it can go straight down the face. Similarly, add a vertical line along the character's torso, curving the direction the character is turning. Add in horizontal guidelines for the face and body. The face guidelines should curve upward or downward depending on whether the character is looking up or down. The torso and stomach guidelines should show how the area rounds itself out in 3D. Connect up the lines along the limbs and joints, and fill in any lines along the torso and body that aren't in place yet. Use the curves on the picture to guide how you add them to your character. For example, some characters will have very skinny arms and legs, while others will have more defined curves. Incorporate the eyes, nose, and mouth, using both the guidelines and the original character as a guide. Pay close attention to the proportions, meaning how big or small things are in connection to one another, including how far apart things are. Then, add in lines along the limbs to create sleeves and pants or skirts as needed. For hair, create a...

Article in English: It's easy to forget about the change you carry in your pocket everyday. Whether you deposit it into a designated change jar, toss your coins in a pile or in a drawer, or simply let change fall out of your pockets on laundry day, those coins can add up to a potentially decent sum over time.  Check under sofa cushions, in the pockets of your pants, under washers/dryers in your laundry room, or in a drawer where you stash spare change. Look in your car. Check under the seats, in the cup holders, in the ash tray, inside the center console, and in the glove box. You can roll coins on your own using paper sleeves from the bank, or take your change to a coin exchange machine (often found in super markets). Exchange machines typically deduct a user fee, but can quickly net you cash for your jar of dirty, unused coins. Scrap metal can net you surprising sums of money. Of course, in order to really make any substantial money you'll need to gather a lot of metal, but with diligent work this can easily be done in most areas.  Go through surplus building materials that may be left over from your home's construction. Just don't loot other people's materials, or you could be charged with theft. If you're remodeling and you're planning on replacing old copper pipes in your house, you can get decent money for the copper by taking it to a salvage yard. Look for old metal in your basement, garage, or outdoor shed. Check in dumpsters around your neighborhood, but be careful to avoid injuring yourself. It's easy to fall into a dumpster, and climbing into one may lead to injuries if there is any broken glass, sharp metal, or used syringes in the dumpster. Scrap metal like copper isn't the only valuable recyclable. You can typically make money by cashing in any type of recyclable. You won't get much per item (most aluminum cans and glass bottles net five cents apiece, for example), but if you gather up a lot of recyclables they can potentially earn you some spare cash.  Try asking local businesses if you can collect their...

Article in English: It's important that you not just try to memorize written lyrics. Listening to the song is probably the most important step you can take. Songs are noted for being one of the easiest things to memorize; this is why setting information to music is a frequently recommended technique for all sorts of rote memorization, and why most people have at some point experienced memorizing a song without even trying, simply by listening to it over and over. Listen to the song you are trying to memorize as frequently as possible: in the car, on the bus, in the shower, while doing chores, while doing homework, while getting ready for bed, and generally whenever the opportunity presents itself. You may start to get sick of it, but you will be much closer to your goal of knowing it by heart. This will be especially effective if you sing along with the song. If your goal is to perform the song, it might be a good idea to practice singing. Having the lyrics memorized won't be much help if you can't sing in key. This can help you think of it as a sequence of ideas or events. Many people learn lyrics more effectively when they imagine them as a narrative, rather than just a collection of rhymes. The more interested in or engaged by something you are, the easier it is to retain information about it. Try to find parts of the song that interest or resonate with you, and look up any lyrics that are confusing. This is especially important if the song you are trying to memorize is in a language in which you are not fluent; it is much easier to learn something when you understand its meaning than when it is just a succession of meaningless syllables. Introducing elements of play and/or competition can make the process of memorization more engaging. Time yourself reciting the lyrics to the song you are trying to memorize, and then use that time to set yourself a challenge; try to see how quickly you can recite the whole thing from memory. Draw a visual representation of a line you are struggling with, or a comic using the lyrics as...

Article in English: It's important to be able to recognize a sinus infection versus other respiratory ailments. You likely have a sinus infection if you see the following symptoms:    Facial pain. When the sinuses become infected, their inner lining will start to swell and become inflamed. This will exercise pressure on the surrounding tissues, causing pain.  Nasal discharge. A discolored or thick inflammatory fluid may leak from your nose. The sinus has a communication path with the nasal cavity, so any fluid that is building up inside the sinus will drain itself through the nose.  Nasal stuffiness. Excess fluid from the sinuses draining through your nose will block the airways, causing stuffiness and difficulty in breathing.  Loss of smell. Because the airways are blocked with inflammatory fluid, fragrance molecules cannot reach the olfactory cells (specially designed cells, which send information regarding smell to the brain).  This situation causes loss of smell. If you know what caused this ailment, you may be able to avoid it in the future. Here are the common causes of sinusitis:   Viruses. The beginning of a sinus infection can be as common as a cold. A cold is usually caused by a virus, so an antibiotic treatment will have no effect. When suffering from a virus induced cold, the nasal tissue will swell due to inflammation and the communication between the sinus and the airways will be stopped. The sinus will be sealed, and mucus will start to build up inside. This is a great environment for viruses to multiply and cause an infection.  Allergies. An allergic reaction causes inflammation of the airways. When the nasal tissue becomes inflamed, sinus draining will be ceased, and mucus will accumulate inside the sinus, creating a great environment for infection.  Bacteria. Bacteria are another cause for infection. Studies show that bacteria rarely start a sinus infection, but they can complicate an existing condition or create any secondary infections.  Polyps. Polyps are benign growths that develop from sinus or nose...
