Article in English: Positive reinforcement encourages a dog to continue doing the right thing. Examples of positive reinforcement are verbal praise, treats, and extra petting. Your GSP will work hard for your positive reinforcement. The more positive reinforcement your GSP receives, the more likely it will follow commands correctly and behave well.  Positive reinforcement can also add energy and enthusiasm to your training sessions. Do not use negative reinforcement, such as yelling or physical punishment. GSPs are very sensitive to human reactions, so yelling or physical punishment will negatively affect your GSP. GSPs are very intelligent and quickly learn new tasks, but get bored very easily. Keeping your training sessions short—no longer than 15 minutes—will help prevent this boredom. End each training session on a high note and give your GSP positive reinforcement for a job well done. GSPs also get easily distracted. Smelling something different in the air could be enough to distract your GSP from the task at hand. Short training sessions could help your dog stay focused for short bursts of time. When you teach your GSP new tricks or commands, consistency and repetition are key to ensuring mastery of a certain task. Since your GSP is prone to distraction, hearing a command multiple times may be necessary to maintain focus. To counteract the distraction, offer your GSP plenty of treats. The smell of a tasty treat in your hand will help your GSP refocus its attention on you.

Summary in French:

Utilisez un renforcement positif. Faites en sorte que les sessions soient courtes. Soyez cohérent et assurez-vous de vous répéter.


Article in English: Positively reappraising a stressful circumstance means taking that situation and putting a new spin on it. For example, if you have a daunting to-do list, rather than looking at your list and saying, “There’s no way I can get all of this done,” try saying, “I can accomplish most of this.” Problem-focused coping is where you focus on the problem that is causing you stress and work out its solution. Break down the problem into steps that will allow you to accomplish it. Identify potential hurdles or stumbling blocks and decide how you will deal with them as they arise.  For instance, if you are having trouble getting a team of coworkers to work well together, sit down first and analyze the situation. Identify the types of situations going on. Then brainstorm and write down possible solutions for these problems. For example, Jeff doesn’t like Sally, and your employer doesn’t encourage teamwork and instead rewards the efforts of the individual. Using problem-focused coping, you should assert that, while Jeff and Sally are allowed to not like each other, a standard of professional conduct is expected and reinforce those standards. Then do a group exercise where everyone says three positive things about each other. In connecting team members and completing projects with resounding success, your team can serve as an example to help change the culture in your company. Another way people experience positive emotions in the face of adversity is by finding positive meaning in ordinary events and within the adversity itself. Remember that when you practice putting a positive spin on a negative situation, you will be able to do it more easily and naturally. In turn, you will find it easier to put positive spins on negative situations, making your whole life happier and more enjoyable.

Donnez un éclairage positif à une situation difficile. Essayez de faire face en vous concentrant sur le problème. Trouvez des significations positives dans les évènements les plus banals.


Article in English: Post a status telling your friends that you'll be deleting your Facebook account. This will give them ample time to swap contact information with you if they feel the need to do so.  This is a good place to leave your contact details if you want people to be able to contact you outside of Facebook. If you would prefer to leave Facebook without a fuss, skip this step. Facebook Messenger is a separate mobile app that you can continue to use even while your Facebook account is gone.

Article in English: Post your classified ad to several local advertising sites. Many online sites offer free ads, but you will likely have to pay to post in the local newspaper.  Try Craigslist, Yahoo! Local, and Angie’s List.  See if your city has its own community site where you can place ads for local services. For online ads, you may have to go back and repost the ad regularly to ensure that people see it. Check back to see if your ad comes up easily when you click on the classifieds. Hang your flyers in local libraries, near the local school, and in popular establishments that are frequented by teens and families, such as pizza restaurants, ice cream shops, and coffee shops.  Ask the local school if you can post your flyers in the counselor’s office or in the school library. You may also find places that will allow you to leave flyers. For example, some coffee shops have a table where people can leave or take flyers. Carry your business cards with you so that you can hand them to potential clients. In addition to handing out the business cards, leave your business cards and your brochures at school counseling offices, in libraries, coffee shops, and other places that allow people to leave or post business cards. Look for community bulletin boards at places like the library or coffee shops. Pin up a few business cards. Join local groups on social media and post about your services. You can look for parents groups, study groups, and groups that are dedicated to the local schools. Your city or town may also have a social media group that allows locals to advertise services, so look for those as well. Look for homeschooling groups.

Article in English: Posts are the vertical support beams that are embedded in the ground. Rails are the horizontal supports that are attached to the posts. Boards or slats are the main material of the fence and can be either horizontal or vertical: they are attached to both the posts and rails. If it is to provide privacy to a backyard garden, tall wooden boards may be the most appropriate choice. If it is meant to contain a pet, a simple stretch of pickets may provide the best combination of fresh air and ample protection. Privacy fences should be a minimum of six feet to keep out prying eyes, while barriers meant to contain most pets or livestock can usually stay around four. Set end posts at the corners and use them to run a line in the exact area the fence is to be constructed.

Article in English: Potatoes are one of the most heavily sprayed crops so if you'd like to leave the peels on your potatoes, you should purchase organically-grown potatoes.  Potato peels contain more iron than the flesh of the potatoes. They're also a good source of fiber, vitamin B, and vitamin C. It's still important to scrub the potatoes under clean water to remove bacteria. If you're making potatoes for a crowd, peeling them might take too much time. Instead, choose a waxy potato variety and take the time to wash them thoroughly. Then, cook the potatoes without the fuss of peeling them. You'll still want to trim away blemishes with a small paring knife before you make the potatoes. Thick soup, creamy chowders, and chunky stews will have a heartier texture if you leave the peels on the potatoes. To make the dishes easier to eat, keep the potatoes about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in size or smaller. If you choose to use floury Russet potatoes for any of these dishes, cut the potatoes even smaller so you don't end up with large bites of peel. If you're making scalloped potatoes, roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, or fries, try cooking them without peeling the potatoes. You'll find that they're heartier than if you peel the potatoes. The peels also give the sides a rustic appearance. Keep in mind that since you're leaving the peels on, it's important to thoroughly cook the potatoes so the peels are tender.

Article in English: Pour 1 to 2 tsp (5 to 10 ml) of vegetable oil into the pan. Use your fingers or a clean paper towel to spread the oil over the entire inside surface of the pan, including all of the sides and the bottom.  You only want to use enough oil to coat the surface. Avoid letting the oil puddle up inside the pan. Consider using flaxseed oil for this method instead of standard vegetable oil. Flaxseed oil is very light, which makes it an ideal choice when applying a light coating to the pan. This technique is the mildest one and is safe to use with all Orgreenic pans, including all stovetop pans, oven pans, and grill pans. Wrap a brown paper grocery bag around the coated part of the pan. The handle can either be exposed or hidden inside the bag; either option is acceptable. The paper bag will protect the surface of the pan, concentrate the natural heat from the sun inside of it, and catch any oil that drips off the pan. Find a sunny window and place the pan, still wrapped inside its bag, upside-down in the sunlight. Leave it there for three to five days.  Placing the pan upside-down will prevent any of the oil from congealing or otherwise making a mess inside the pan. Touch the outside of the bag each day. The surface should feel notably warm. If the surface is not warm, the sunlight might not be strong enough at that location. Remove the pan from the sunlight and from the brown bag. Use a clean paper towel to clean off any visible oil that remains. The surface may still feel a little greasy, but that greasiness assists the non-stick properties of the pan. Make sure that there are no puddles of oil and no stickiness on the surface, though. You will need to re-season an Orgreenic pan every six months. Do so using this method or one of the other listed methods. Since this method is so gentle, the seasoning may not last as long and there is a good chance that you will need to re-season your pan ahead of schedule. Re-season the pan whenever food starts sticking to it on a regular basis.

Article in English: Pour 4 cups (900 g) of rice into a large bowl. Then bury your phone and its disconnected battery in the rice. The rice will help draw out any residual moisture in your device.  Rotate the phone to a different position every hour until you go to sleep. This will allow any water left inside to run down and hopefully find an opening to escape through.  Regular uncooked white or brown rice isn’t as absorbent as instant rice and won’t work as well. Place the silica gel packet(s), your phone, and the disconnected battery into a container. Then let the phone sit for 48-72 hours to give the gel time to absorb any moisture remaining in your phone.  Silica gel packets are those little packets that come with new shoes, purses, noodle packets, and other products. Speed is the most important element in saving your wet phone, so use rice or another desiccant if you don't have any silica packets lying around. There’s no need to open the packets. Simply place them in the container with your phone. If you don’t have instant rice or silica gel packets lying around, crystal cat litter is another option. Pour a layer of cat litter into a container that’s at least 1–2 US quarts (0.95–1.89 L) in size. Then, lay your open phone and its detached battery on top of this layer. Pour in the rest of the litter to fully cover your phone.  You can find crystal cat litter at most grocery stores and pet-supply shops. Don’t use clay-based or other types of cat litter. Only crystal cat litter, which is made of silica gel, will work. Other desiccants, like couscous pearls and instant oatmeal, will also work just as well. Fit a hose attachment onto your vacuum cleaner. Then, set it to its highest setting and vacuum near all your phone’s openings.  If you have one, a wet/dry vac would work especially well for this step. This is the fastest method and can completely dry out your phone and get it working in 30 minutes. However, unless the exposure to water was extremely short, don’t attempt to turn your phone on this soon. Set your air compressor...

Article in English: Pour a bit of rubbing alcohol onto a cotton ball for an easy applicator. Then, wipe the leather surface thoroughly with the rubbing alcohol. This should clean the leather and open up the pores of the material. Make sure that the alcohol is deeply soaked into the leather. You may need to apply many coats.  You can buy isopropyl rubbing alcohol at most drugstores and grocery stores. You may already have some in your cabinet! If you don't have a cotton ball, use a towel, a tissue, or a clean piece of cotton. You can also use your fingers. Be careful, though: rubbing alcohol can dry out your skin with prolonged contact. Put Vaseline or another petroleum jelly product onto your finger or a Q-tip. Then, spread the Vaseline across the belt so that it covers the entire surface. Let the Vaseline soak into the leather. You don't need to lump a goopy mess of petroleum jelly onto the belt in order to soften it. A thin, slick layer will do. Wipe the Vaseline away with a rag or tissue. Leave the leather out to dry before you wear the belt. If you want it to dry a bit more quickly, try leaving it out in the sun.

Article in English: Pour enough vegetable oil into a large skillet to fill 1/4 inch (6 mm) of the bottom. Heat the oil on the stove over medium-high heat.  Let the oil heat up for 1 or 2 minutes. It should be very hot, but not quite smoking. Note that you can save time by simply using packaged tostada shells instead of using corn tortillas. If using tostada shells, skip the frying and draining steps and move directly onto the assembling steps. Add one corn tortilla to the hot oil and fry it for 20 to 40 seconds on each side.  Use tongs to turn the tortilla halfway through the frying process. The entire tortilla should be crisp and golden in color when ready. Use tongs to remove the tortilla from the hot oil. Transfer it to a plate lined with clean paper towels and let the excess oil drain off. You will need to repeat the frying and draining process for each tortilla, working with one at a time. Place one tostada onto your serving plate and add a dollop of crema Mexicana or sour cream. Spread the cream evenly over the surface of the shell.  If you do not like the taste of sour cream, you can skip this step. Another option is to spread a dollop of refried beans over the surface of the shell instead of or alongside the cream. Spoon on a generous helping of the prepared tinga de pollo. You can leave the chicken piled in a mound in the center of the tortilla, or you could spread it evenly over the surface of the tortilla. Arrange a few avocado slices on top of the chicken. Sprinkle the entire thing with shredded lettuce, crumbled Cotija cheese, and a spoonful of salsa. You can skip these ingredients or substitute them for other garnishes as desired. These toppings are common and recommended, but not strictly necessary. The tinga de pollo is now prepared and the tostadas are now assembled. Eat the dish while it is still hot.

Article in English: Pour in enough water to cover the seeds. The sunflower seeds will absorb some of the water, which will prevent them from becoming too dry while roasting. Stir to mix in the salt. Leave the sunflower seeds to soak in the salted water overnight. This will help to infuse the sunflower seeds with a salty flavour.   Alternatively, if you are in a rush, you can place the sunflower seeds and salted water into a pot and leave to simmer for an hour and a half to two hours.  If you don't want your sunflower seeds salted, you can skip this step altogether. Pour off the salted water and pat the seeds dry with some paper towel. Spread the sunflower seeds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, in a single layer. Try not to have any of the seeds overlapping. Roast the seeds for 30 to 40 minutes, until the shells are golden brown. The shells will also develop a slight crack down the middle as they roast. Stir the seeds occasionally, to ensure that they roast evenly on both sides. The sunflower seeds can be mixed with a teaspoon of butter while still hot and served immediately. Alternatively, you can leave the seeds to cool on the baking sheet, then store in an airtight container.

Article in English: Pour one cup (236.58 ml) of white vinegar into a container or cup and place it on the top washing rack in your dishwasher. As you run your wash, the vinegar will help disinfect your dishwasher. Make sure that the container is dishwasher safe. Baking soda will help absorb the unpleasant odors and will leave your dishwasher smelling fresh. Measure out one cup (180 g) of baking soda into a measuring cup and pour it into the bottom basin of the washer itself. Press the high-temperature wash cycle on the front of your dishwasher and let it run. Set an alarm for halfway through the washing cycle so you remember to return to your dishwasher. Pause your washing cycle and open the dishwasher door. The vinegar and baking soda will start to work away embedded grime and will remove unpleasant odors. Use a dry cotton rag or cloth to wipe down the interior of the machine until it's dry. Performing once a month maintenance on your dishwasher will prevent food debris from building up and will stop unpleasant odors.

Article in English: Pour some water in a saucepan and turn the stovetop onto the highest heat. Wait several minutes for the water to boil before adding in any ingredients. If you want to speed up the boiling process, put a lid on the pot or saucepan to contain the heat. For reference, the water will be bubbling and steaming when it’s at a boil. Turn the stovetop down to a simmer so that the ginger tea can brew. Keep in mind that the tea will be more concentrated when you let it steep for longer. Wait for at least 10 minutes before turning off the heat. Let the tea brew for 15 minutes if you want the drink to be stronger.

Article in English: Pour the baking soda into the washing machine, then fill it with clothing and detergent as you would normally. Set the washing machine for your desired cycle and run it.  Baking soda doesn't filter the minerals out of hard water, but it makes it softer to the touch. Softened water cleans and rinses better. Baking soda is also mildly abrasive, so it helps to more thoroughly clean your clothing. Keep an eye on your laundry and add the white vinegar before the last rinse cycle. If your machine has a fabric softener dispenser, you can fill this with the vinegar before you start the load and it will be released automatically.  Vinegar, which is a natural acid, helps to neutralize hard water with a lot of calcium in it. Calcium is a very alkaline mineral. Even though vinegar has a strong smell, this will be completely washed out by the rinse cycle. If you want to turn vinegar into a scented cleaner, mix 1.5 drops of an essential oil, like lavender, with it before adding it to laundry. Only use white vinegar for softening your laundry water. Other kinds, like apple cider vinegar, won’t do the trick. Move the clean clothes to your dryer and run them on a suitable setting. When dried, you should notice that the baking soda and vinegar have reduced the hardness of your water, resulting in softer laundry.

Article in English: Pour the water and oil into the saucepan. Whisk the gravy mix into the liquid until smooth.  If you have sausage, bacon, or beef drippings on hand, use those instead of vegetable oil. A sausage-flavored country gravy mix or country gravy mix will lend the most traditional flavor, but you could also use a brown gravy mix or poultry gravy mix. The amount of gravy mix called for in this recipe usually equals two packets. Bring the gravy mixture to a boil over medium heat. Stir or whisk the gravy frequently as it cooks. Reduce the heat to low as soon as the gravy begins to boil. Let it simmer for an additional minute, stirring occasionally to prevent it from burning.  The gravy is ready once it thickens up. Adjust the cooking time as needed. Note that the gravy will continue to thicken as it stands. Remove the gravy from the heat once thickened and ladle it generously over your shortcut biscuits.

Article in English: Pour the water into a large saucepan. Add the flat-leaf parsley, thyme, Mexican oregano, 1/2 a medium onion, 2 carrots, 2 cloves of garlic, and 2 stalks of celery. Place the saucepan on the stove and heat on high until the water boils. Stir these new ingredients into the mixture. Allow the contents of the saucepan to reach a rolling boil again before reducing the heat to medium-low. If possible, use bones from lean fish, like bass or cod, and avoid oily fish, like salmon. With the liquid barely at a simmer, allow the stock to cook uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. During this time, the flavors should blend together, creating a more flavorful stock. If you want the flavor to be even stronger, you can simmer the broth up to 40 minutes. Never let it return to a boil after its initial simmer, however, since fish stock can quickly become cloudy if it gets too hot or cooks for too long. Pour the contents of the saucepan through a large, heavy strainer or colander. Reserve the liquid for use as stock in your caldo de camaron recipe. Discard the solid ingredients, including the vegetables and fish bones.  If necessary, remove the fish bones by hand before straining the rest of the liquid. Fish bones can sometimes get caught in the holes of a strainer, clogging them up and preventing the liquid from flowing through readily. Note that this stock can be prepared in advance. If you opt to make the stock before you prepare the rest of the soup, pour the finished stock into an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to four days.

Article in English: Powersliding is similar to controlled sliding, but it involves more advanced maneuvers. Do not perform powersliding as a go-to when you need to stop quickly. Instead, use it at skate parks or when practicing tricks with your friends. Look out for traffic anywhere near your skateboard before you powerslide. Powersliding is a tricky move and hard to stop abruptly. As you do so, lean slightly to the front of the board. This will give your body full control of the powerslide and help you turn more fully. Concentrate most of your weight on your front heel, as leaning on your back heel will make this trick harder. To make sure your upper and lower body moves, focus on turning your shoulders and hips. Use your front foot as a pivot as you slide at a 90-degree angle. Avoid moving too fast, which can cause you to lose balance. After you've pivoted with your front foot, kick out in the direction of your slide. This will complete your powerslide as you slowly come to a stop. Lean back until your board has stopped to keep from losing your balance.

Article in English: Practice answering questions you might expect to be asked.  Rehearsing your answers can help you relax during your interview and best represent yourself.  Read some of the following sample questions that you might be asked during your interview and start practicing:  ”Tell me about yourself.” ”What are some of your strengths?” ”What would you say is your greatest weakness?” ”What do you like most about our company?” Before your interview, you will want to take some time to study the company you plan on working for.  Learning more about the company will help you appear knowledgeable and can make a good impression.  Knowing more about the company will also help you think of questions that you can ask your interviewer.  It is likely that a large amount of information about your potential employer can be found on-line. Try to come up with some questions for your interviewer about the company. Don't be afraid to ask questions.  You are also interviewing the company. Before you actually leave for your interview, you will want to know the best route to get there.  Learning the route and how long it will take to travel, will help you arrive at your interview right on time.  If you are using public transport, learn the schedules and which service will work best for your appointment. Account for traffic.  Both the route and time of day can be factors in how busy traffic might be. Try practicing your route before your interview. Look for the best parking spaces to avoid searching for one right before your interview. Once you know the best route to the site of the interview and how long it takes you to get there, you can plan your departure time.  By allowing yourself enough travel time you can help avoid being late and demonstrate your punctuality.  Try to arrive no earlier than 5 to 10 minutes. Leaving early will help you avoid being late, should you encounter any traffic issues or other problems. Arriving early can also give you a few moments to collect your thoughts and prepare for the interview.

Article in English: Practicing confidence in social situations is an important opportunity. Over time, your social skills will improve and grow which can help you gain confidence. Frequently being in social situations will also make you feel more comfortable, which can reduce your anxiety over time. Try putting yourself in different social situations and challenge yourself to start conversations with others. You could simply say hello, introduce yourself, or make a comment about a mutual friend, your place of work, or the setting. For example, you could say, "Hi, this is a fantastic location for a party. Have you tried any of the food?" Ask a trusted friend or family member to help you practice social skills. Your friend would pretend to be someone at an event, and you would practice introducing yourself, standing and speaking with confidence, and then ending the conversation. This is a great way to practice a few "go-to" introductions and conversation endings.  For example, an introduction could be, “Hi, I’m Jason, Jeff’s friend,” and then have a list of topics you could start a conversation with. Some ideas include mutual friends, how people know each other or met, or asking others about themselves such as what hobbies they have or their career. Ending the conversation can be as simple as, “Ok, it was nice seeing you, and I hope to run into you again.” Ask a friend to go to a social event with you so you can meet friends of friends. Meeting the friends of a friend is a great way to practice social skills without having to approach and introduce yourself to a stranger. Your friend should simply introduce you and you can join in the conversation when you feel ready. For example, your friend might say, "Greg, this is my friend Carol. We went to school together." Then, you can let the conversation go on between them or jump in and converse. Once you've begun to feel more confident, branch out and go to places where you don't know anyone. Try to go to places or events where the focus isn't on meeting lots of new people. Look for a...

Article in English: Practicing good hygiene is an effective way of avoiding or preventing many different kinds of infections, including molluscum contagiosum; therefore, wash your hands frequently with warm water and soap, especially if you shake hands or touch someone with visible lesions on their body. Hand washing also removes viruses (and other germs) that you pick up from contaminated surfaces, toys, clothing or towels.  After bathing your body, don't be too aggressive while drying it. Pat yourself with the towel gently instead of rubbing because you don't want to remove the mollusca and make the skin infection more contagious. In addition to washing your hands, try to stop the habit of putting your hands into your mouth or rubbing your eyes — it'll help prevent infection also. An alcohol-based hand sanitizer is also effective against molluscum contagiosum and can be used as a good alternative to soap and water. Infection can spread via bath sponges, towels, pumice stones, or razors. Avoid sharing these items. The viral infection also spreads by sexual contact among teens and adults because the lesions can develop on and around the genitals of both genders (upper thighs and lower abdomen are common locations also). Practicing safe sex (with a condom) is not enough to prevent molluscum contagiosum because it's spread by skin-to-skin contact, not in body fluids.  The best practice is to completely avoid sexual contact if you or your partner have mollusca near the genitalia until the condition completely goes away. Oral sex also needs to be avoided if you or your partner have mollusca near the mouth or on the face. Mollusca on the genitalia are often mistaken for genital herpes, but they don't cause the burning pain of herpes. As difficult as it may be, particularly if they've become inflamed and itchy, you should avoid scratching, rubbing or even touching the mollusca lesions. Picking or scratching your skin can spread the virus to other parts of your body and make it easier to spread the infection to others.  Be particularly...

Article in English: Prayer offers you a direct channel of communication to God. To stay committed to a walk of faith, you need to keep talking to God through both the good times and the bad.  If you find yourself forgetting to pray, try scheduling a specific time each day for it—when you wake up in the morning, during your lunch hour, before bed, or any other time when you can get a few minutes of silence and solitude. You might find yourself forgetting to give praise and thanks during good times even though you have no trouble turning to God for help during times of need. The reverse may also be true. If you have a weak point in your prayer life, focus on strengthening it. For the most part, you'll need to walk through life and make decisions based on what you already understand about who God is and what God wants for you. Keep your mind open, however, so that you will be able to interpret messages and signs from God when they do come along. You might be given direction without even knowing it. When you lose your job, it could be God's way of directing you down a better path. When a relationship ends, it could be God's way of directing you to a healthier relationship or to a goal that could not have been completed if you remained with that individual. God will answer your prayers, but the answer may not come in the time frame you would expect it to. Similarly, God will open the right path for you, but that path will only be revealed when God decides that it is the best time for it. This can be especially difficult when the demands of daily life press down on you. It can be hard, for example, to trust in God's schedule when you can't find a job and have bills to pay. No matter how tough things get, though, try to remind yourself that God is with you through it all and will lead you to where you need to be when you need to be there according to His plan. Be thankful for the blessings God has given you. Taking time to notice all the good things in your past and present can strengthen your faith and make it easier to keep walking...

Article in English: Pre-cut firewood is the ideal option for making a fire at home, and it is also a wise bet for starting a fire outdoors. Having ready-to-use firewood will spare you the time, effort, and uncertainty of searching for usable firewood in the woods. Pre-cut wood logs can be purchased at hardware stores, or from merchants near campsites. Manufactured logs combine sawdust and paraffin wax for an easy-to-light, clean-burning fire. These logs have the benefit of lighting without any starting material and leaving little mess, but they do not create the same heat as a regular, wood-burning fire would. To make an easy fire when you are not in need of warmth, purchase manufactured logs at hardware stores. Tinder is easy-to-light materials that help to start your fire. Find small, dry items such as grass, leaves, shredded tree bark or newspaper are ideal choices. In a pinch, tortilla chips make great tinder if you are willing to spare the snack. Fuel wood should consist of logs that will burn for an extended time and keep your fire alive. Look for dry, brittle wood in a range of different sizes to top off your fire as needed as it burns. Different types of wood burn differently, so keep in mind that:  Hardwood, like oak and maple, will take longer to start burning but burn for a long time. Softwood, like pine and cedar, burns fast and crack and pops while burning due to resins.

Article in English: Pre-sliced bread is usually too thin and too flavorless to make good French toast, sometimes called eggy bread or French-fried bread. Instead, slice a loaf of challah, egg bread, brioche, or other thin-crust, tight-crumbed bread into slices ¾–1 inch (2–2.5 centimeters) thick.  Ideally, leave a fresh loaf out overnight to make it slightly dry and absorbent; fresh bread should work fine if this is not feasible. "Tight-crumbed" refers to the interior of the loaf, which should be spongy and free from large holes. Before you start frying, you'll need a soupy custard-like batter that will envelope the bread in a golden envelope. To make enough batter for eight slices of French toast, beat together the following:  3 large eggs Pinch of salt ⅔ cup (160 mL) half-and-half. Substitute whole milk for a healthier alternative, or cream for an extremely rich dish. Use well-shaken buttermilk instead for additional flavor.  Use less dairy for thin-sliced bread, or if your French toast ends up soggy. French toast can be a sweet or savory dish. Flavor your batter accordingly:   For sweet toast, mix in 1 tbsp (15 mL) sugar and 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract. If you do not plan on serving the toast with maple syrup or another sugary topping, you can mix in an addition 1 or 2 tbsp (15–30 mL) sugar. Optionally, add 2 tsp (10 mL) cinnamon and/or 2 tsp (10 mL) freshly grated orange peel.   For savory toast, mix in 5 tsp (20 mL) hot sauce, 3 tbsp (45 mL) chopped basil, and a generous amount of black pepper. Parmesan, garlic, and any savory herbs can be added as well, or substitute for the other ingredients. Pour the batter into a wide pan, and place the slices of bread into it to soak. Many cooks prefer to whip up this recipe quickly, and only soak the bread briefly while they heat up the pan of butter. Soaking for as long as 15–20 minutes, however, will increase the amount of batter absorbed, and is recommended if you are using dense, thick slices of bread. Flip the bread over once, halfway through the soaking process. You'll need...

Article in English: Pregnant women frequently suffer from back pain because of the physical stress of carrying a baby, but there are steps that help better control the discomfort.  Avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time. If this requires changes in your routine, then ensure that the changes occur. Wear flat shoes that have excellent support. Visit a shoe clinic if you don't know what good support in a shoe is all about. If you must lift things, always bend from your knees. Don't twist or jerk around, especially not suddenly. Get someone else to put other children into backseat car restraints. Use warm (not hot) baths to relieve backache. Use warm heat packs or warm hot water bottles to relieve backache. Talk to your doctor if nothing is helping you. Massage techniques geared toward pregnant women can ease pain, and are easy to teach to a friend. Physical therapy, yoga and rhythmic body movements can all help pregnant women overcome pain associated with the round ligament during pregnancy. If you get a fever while you're pregnant, learn how to reduce your fever safely to prevent putting yourself and your baby at risk. Ask your doctor for safe medications. Some medications that you'd consider safe when not pregnant can be harmful to the growing fetus, so always check before taking anything. . Take an empty glass and pour an adequate amount of baking soda (around a teaspoon) into it. Pour room temperature water into the glass, filling it. This will leave the water a whitish color.

Article in English: Preheat the oven to 350 °F (177 °C). Coat the bottoms of two 9-inch round pans with parchment or wax paper. Parchment and wax paper is a great alternative to using sprays or butter to grease the pan. It is moisture and grease-resistant, so cakes are removed from the pans without sticking. Add flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Combine until well blended. Place eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla in the bowl with the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer until well blended. Pour batter into the two lined pans. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 35 minutes. Check to see if the cake is done by inserting a toothpick or fork into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is finished. After taking the cakes out of the oven, let cool for around 10 minutes. Then, remove the cakes from the pans and place on wire cooling racks until they are completely cooled. Place the whipping cream in a large bowl. Use a hand mixer and beat on a low setting, slowly increasing the speed as bubbles form and the cream thickens. When the cream has thickened, gradually beat in the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Stiff peaks have formed when the cream holds its shape when the mixer is removed. The cream will be heavy and thick. In a smaller bowl, mix the cherry pie filling and almond extract. Using a large, serrated knife, cut each layer in half, making 4 layers in all. Place a layer on a cake plate, with the smooth side up. Spread 1/4 of whipped cream onto the cake, then add 1/4 of the cherry mixture on top. Top with another layer, smooth top up. Repeat until you have a layer of whipped cream and cherries between each layer of cake. Spread only within an inch of the side so it does not spill over. Spread the rest of the whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake. Pour the remaining cherry mixture on the top. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.

Article in English: Preheat your oven to 350 °F (177 °C) for 5-10 minutes, allowing it to come all the way up to temperature. When it’s ready, place your pizza on a baking sheet, then place it in the oven for about 5 minutes. Whether you’re heating up a whole pizza or just a slice, the oven is a great way to get a crispy crust with bubbly cheese that’s similar to your original pizza.  If you have a pizza stone, place the pizza on that. It will distribute the heat evenly, resulting in an even crispier crust. For easy cleanup, line your baking sheet with parchment paper before you place the pizza on it.

Article in English: Preparation for the injection depends on where on the body it is administered. Many common injections, such as most vaccinations, are administered in the arm, while certain antibiotics may be administered to the back or the buttocks. Ask your doctor or nurse beforehand where you can expect the injection to be applied and treat that area accordingly. Once you know where the injection will be applied, stroke the skin and apply pressure near where the needle will go in. This will prepare your body for the added pressure of a needle in that area, and the shock of the prick will be less harsh in the doctor's office. Do this shortly before leaving for your appointment or in the car or bus ride on the way over. You can also hold an ice cube on the injection area for three minutes or more before getting your shot, or ask for numbing cream at the doctor office, or use it at home. While in the waiting room, certain tasks can help prepare for your injection and distract you from the potential pain.  Squeeze a stress ball. This eases up the muscles in preparation for an injection. Listen to music, podcasts, or books on tape. While the doctor is not likely to let you put your headphones in during the appointment, listening to music beforehand can provide a distraction so you're not too apprehensive going in.  Read a magazine or book. If you're more easily soothed by reading than listening, a good, distracting story or article can also be helpful while waiting for your appointment.

Article in English: Prepare a roasting pan or deep baking dish by lightly coating the bottom with cooking spray. You could also coat the pan in butter or cover it with aluminum foil to prevent the squash from sticking to the bottom.    Use a sharp serrated knife to cut the squash into quarters lengthwise.  Cut the squash in half from top to bottom. Use a sawing motion.     Cut each half in half, again working from top to bottom in a sawing motion.     Peeling the squash is not necessary.     Use a metal spoon or melon-baller to remove the seeds and stringy pulp.    Coat the upward-facing, cut-side of each quarter.  Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over each quarter.     Divide the butter equally among all the quarters. Dot the cut surface with small chunks of butter.     Sprinkle salt and pepper over the squash. This should be done according to taste, but if you are uncertain where to start, use roughly 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) salt and 1/8 tsp (0.62 ml) pepper per quarter.     Additional herbs and seasonings can also be used. For instance, you can sprinkle the squash with thyme or parsley for a savory taste or a dash of red pepper for a spicier flavor.    The squash should be tender enough to stick a fork into. The entire squash may not be browned, but you should begin seeing golden-brown patches developing, especially along the edges.    Let cool slightly before serving warm.

Article in English: Prepare a shallow, rimmed baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil. If you would prefer to skip the foil, you could coat the baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray, instead. Use a sturdy serrated kitchen knife to cut the squash from end to end. Remove the strings and seeds, then cut each half into 1-inch (2.5-cm) slices.  Before cutting your squash, make sure that it is clean. Scrub the outside with a vegetable brush under cool, running water until all visible dirt is gone. If you have difficulty holding the squash still as you cut it, try cutting it on a rubber cutting mat to provide more friction. Use a metal spoon or ice cream scoop to remove the seeds from the center of each half. Arrange the slices on your baking sheet and drizzle the olive oil over them. Toss well to coat, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, cumin, coriander, and cayenne pepper. Try to disperse the seasonings over each slice evenly. Turn the squash slices over halfway through the cooking time. When done, the wedges should be slightly browned and tender.  Arrange the wedges so that each is cut-side-down at the beginning of the cooking process. Make sure that the squash slices are in a single layer. Do not overlap. Remove the squash from the oven and serve the wedges whole while still warm.

Article in English: Presentation is a key element of being professional. Make sure that the recipient will easily be able to see you as capable and in charge of editing your letter for errors. Run spellcheck on your word processor, but also give the letter a thorough read before you send it.  Ask yourself whether the letter is clear and concise. Are any paragraphs more than three or four sentences long? If so, determine whether you can eliminate unnecessary statements. If the letter is extremely important, you might want to have a friend or colleague look it over. Sometimes a second pair of eyes can help you catch errors or awkward wording you may not have noticed. If you have multiple pages, staples are generally avoided. If you want to ensure that the papers stay in order, then use a paperclip at the top left corner. If you're sending the letter via post, use a business envelope. If available, use one with the company logo printed on it. Neatly print your return address and the recipient's address. Fold the letter into third parts, such that the recipient will first unfold the top flap, then the bottom flap. Make sure you affix sufficient postage and send it off.  If you feel like your handwriting is messy and doesn't match your professional persona, type the addresses in your word processor and run the envelope through your printer. If the letter is extremely important and/or time-sensitive, consider having it delivered by courier. If you want to email the letter, convert the letter in HTML or save it as a PDF to preserve formatting. It is better, however, to send the physical letter.

Article in English: Press a warm, wet washcloth to your face before waxing or plucking. This will help open up your pores which will, in turn, prevent ingrown hairs from developing. This is an important step to adhere to during the moment of hair removal. If your facial muscles are tense, it will be harder to remove the individual hairs because the follicles will constrict. Apply cold water, aftershave, or witch hazel to your face immediately after hair removal. These elements will help soothe and repair your skin after plucking or waxing, especially since the skin on your face is so delicate.  Wait two to three hours after removing hair to apply cream or heavy moisturizers to your face. Applying creams or heavy moisturizers immediately may clog your pores.

Article in English: Pressuring someone to do something is not respectful. If someone sets a boundary, don’t try to see how far you can push it or if you can get them to break it. Respect their boundaries and leave it at that. For example, if someone is a vegan, don’t offer them meat. If someone practices a different spiritual path than you, don’t poke fun of them or tell them that they are following something untrue or wrong. When someone puts their trust in you, show them that you are worthy to be trusted. For example, if someone asks you to keep a secret, be true to your word. Don’t betray their trust by telling someone else, especially if the people know each other. Keep your word when you do or say something. People will know you are someone they can trust. Talking about someone behind their back or in gossip is unkind and not respectful. The person has no opportunity to defend themselves or make their case, yet others are free to judge them. When talking about other people, be sure not to gossip or spread harmful information. For example, if someone else is talking about gossip, say, “I’d rather not talk about Lexi when she’s not here. That doesn’t seem fair to her.” Whether someone comes from a different race, religion, gender, country of origin, or part of town from you, treat each person in life fairly and equally. If you notice yourself treating someone who is different from you unfairly, make an effort to be fair in your interactions. If the person feels foreign to you, make an extra effort to get to know them and relate to them on some level. For example, find something you relate on such as sports, reading, television, painting, having children, growing up in a big family, etc.

Article in English: Primary exercise headaches are the most common type of exercise headache. It is not known why some people experience primary exercise headaches, although some doctors believe it may have something to do with dilated blood vessels caused by strenuous activity. Common symptoms of primary exercise headaches include:  A throbbing pain in one or both sides of the head. Headaches that begin during or immediately after strenuous activity. Symptoms persisting anywhere from five minutes to 48 hours. There are a number of prescription medications available that can help treat primary exercise headaches and their causes. Some people with predictable exercise headaches may be able to take medication before a planned workout, while others who experience erratic or unpredictable exercise headaches may need to take medication on a daily basis. Talk to your doctor if you believe you need a prescription-strength medication to treat primary exercise headaches. Common medications include:  Indomethacin — this non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID) is commonly prescribed to treat pain and inflammation. It may help treat moderate to severe primary exercise headaches. If you are taking indomethacin, talk to your doctor about any other health issues you or your family have experienced. NSAIDs (not including aspirin) have been linked with an increased risk of heart attack or stroke.  Propranolol — this prescription-strength blood pressure medication may help prevent primary exercise headaches in some people. Propranolol alters the body's response to nerve impulses, which may help lessen pain associated with conditions like exercise headaches.  Naproxen — this NSAID is commonly used to treat arthritis pain. It has been shown to be effective at treating headache pain in some people. Naproxen is available in both prescription and over-the-counter forms. If you are taking naproxen, talk to your doctor about any other health issues you or your family have experienced.

Article in English: Primary sources are evidence, artifacts or documents that originated from people who had direct contact with a situation. Secondary sources are those that discuss information from primary sources. A secondary source could be a point of view or analysis of an original historical event or document. For example, an immigration record would be a primary source, while a newspaper article about a family’s ancestry would be a secondary source. If the narrator of an account is not personally connected to the subject, they are more likely to remain objective. Web sources usually feature less strict controls than articles published in journals or books. Subjective sources that take opposing points of view can be extremely important, because they are able to give a larger view of the issue. Find “pain points” in your argument and document any possible ways to deal with them. It is easy to conduct research that supports your thesis. Try to find resources that disagree with your thesis so that you can handle objections to your project. Keep your sources separate until you determine you want the source to be part of your research. Although helpful in the research process, some resources will not be sufficiently valuable to support published research.

Summary in French:

Demandez s'il s'agit d'une source primaire ou secondaire. Préférez les sources objectives à celles qui sont subjectives. Préférez les sources imprimées. Cherchez des sources différentes. Évaluez si la source est pertinente et/ou imparfaite avant d'utiliser les recherches dans votre projet.


Article in English: Prior to cleaning, you should always unplug the coffee maker. This will ensure that you don't accidentally turn on the machine and heat the vinegar or water that is used for cleaning. Make sure that the funnel and pot are securely in place. Then, pour one quart (1 liter) of white vinegar into the top of the brewer. This is the same place that you normally pour water when brewing a pot of coffee. The vinegar will begin to slowly drip through the coffee funnel and into the pot. Once the vinegar has completely stopped dripping, you can empty the decanter into the sink. After running white vinegar through the machine to help clean it, you need to rinse out the vinegar using cold water. In order to do this, pour one quart (1 liter) of cold water into the back of the brewer. Allow the water to drip through the machine and into the pot. Repeat this process. Then, unscrew the spray head which is the area that the water drips through from the funnel into the pot. This can easily be unscrewed. Once  you have removed the spray head, lift the entire coffee maker. Be sure to use one hand to support the base of the coffee maker and the other to steady the top of the machine. Turn the machine upside down and empty all liquid contents from the machine.  Make sure that the coffee pot is removed from the base and that the machine is unplugged prior to lifting. Water will likely drip out the top of the machine from both the back and funnel areas. Once the water has stopped dripping, place the machine back onto the counter and reattach the spray head. Pour another quart (liter) of water through the machine. This will help continue to rinse the machine. Once the water no longer tastes of vinegar, you can stop rinsing out the machine with water.

Article in English: Prior to treatment with salicylic acid, use a nail file or a pumice stone to remove the outer layer of your wart(s), so that the dead skin cells (the callous part) is removed. You will know when you are done because the skin underneath the callous part is much more sensitive and it will hurt to continue scraping any further. Soak the affected foot (or feet, if you have warts on both sides) in warm water for 10–20 minutes prior to treatment.  This softens the skin and enhances the effectiveness of treatment. Make sure your foot is completely dry after soaking to that the salicylic acid patch you will apply stays on as well as possible. Apply salicylic acid patch to the affected area of your foot.  The best time to do this treatment is just before bedtime each night. Leave it on overnight, and remove it in the morning. Continue this treatment every night until the wart(s) is/are gone, and one to two weeks longer after they have disappeared to ensure that the HPV virus has been totally eradicated. Note that for people with "neuropathy" (medical conditions that relate to damage to their nerves), it is not advisable to use salicylic acid. This is because the decreased sensation for people with these conditions may result in the salicylic acid causing damage to their skin without them being able to notice it. It is not fully understood why duct tape works as a treatment for plantar warts, but a number of scientific studies have shown that it has good success in a great number of people, so it is definitely worth a try.   The silver duct tape available at most home improvement stores is better than the clear type, for the reason that it tends to stick better to the soles of the feet.   Place it on the sole of your feet (a piece large enough to fully cover any and all warts), and leave it on for six days. If it falls off before then, replace it with a new piece of duct tape sooner rather than later as the goal is to keep the warts covered for a full six days. Then remove it for one day to let the area breathe. After...

Article in English: Prioritizing is central to effective time management. Juggling work and home life and trying to find time for time with friends and family and on your own is not easy. Even if we are using our time efficiently, this doesn't mean that we are using it effectively. In other words, we might be doing things right, but we aren't necessarily doing the right things. Often, we don’t plan and schedule activities that move us toward our goals, especially those goals that aren’t concrete. One way around this is to prioritize your goals and decide which are most important in the short-term, medium-term, and long-term.  Once you have determined which goals are most important for you, start working towards those ones first and foremost. Don't lose sight of your other goals, but try to focus in on those that require your immediate attention. You may also need to realize when you must leave work at work. Ask yourself what you need to do on a given day to reach the goal you have set for yourself. Figure out a benchmark for your goal. How will you know when you've reached the goal? These determine how you take charge of your time and space and help you get in touch with and manage your emotions. Boundaries express the extent of your responsibilities, power, and agency; they also inform others what you are willing to do and accept.  Be willing to say "no." Remember that being able to say "no" when pressed to take on additional responsibilities is your prerogative; in fact, it is what is key to effectively balancing work and family. For example, if your boss asks you to work over-time but you have already promised to attend  your child's school event, you can say that you have already made a commitment and try to find an alternative solution that accommodates your existing commitments.  Set boundaries literally on your time. Carve up your daily tasks into increments of time; figure out how long you can and are willing to spend on a given task.

Article in English: Products like gel cleaners and other types of commercial drain cleaners can help you remove clogs from your drain. However, you do need to be careful with these products, as they are very strong, and they can damage your pipes or cause problems if you don't use them properly.  Always read the bottle to make sure the product you have can be used on the types of pipes you have and the system you have. For instance, you may need a special product for a septic system. In addition, make sure you buy one appropriate for baths and showers. Never mix more than one type of drain cleaner. For instance, if the clog doesn't move, you don't want to pour another kind on top. That can lead to toxic fumes, which can cause you health problems. Each drain cleaner will work a little bit differently, so it's important to read the instructions first. Make sure you are following the instructions to the letter because drain cleaners are powerful chemicals and they can be harmful. Generally, you start with about half a bottle to try to remove the clog, and then you wait a specified period, usually about 15 minutes. Use the whole bottle if it's not draining at all and half if it's draining a little bit. Usually, you can pour the cleaner through standing water but not always. After waiting the required time, you need to use hot water to clear the chemicals and the clog. Watch to see if it's draining properly. If it's not, you may need to try again with some more of the same drain cleaner. Make sure you don't try a different cleaner.

Article in English: Professionally fitted shoe inserts can provide just the right amount of cushioning and protection for your feet, thereby helping corns on your toes to heal faster and preventing more corns from developing. You could use standard gel inserts purchased from the store, but customized inserts will be much more effective. Talk to a podiatrist about where and how to purchase prescription shoe inserts custom-fit for your foot. Prescription remedies often use higher concentrations of salicylic acid than their over-the-counter counterparts, and some prescription remedies also use other, stronger combinations of acids to accomplish the same purpose.  Acids should not be used by diabetics, those with impaired sensation, or those with thin skin. Other acids that can be used to treat corns include trichloroacetic acid and a combination of salicylic acid, lactic acids, and collodion.  Follow the instructions carefully when given a medication to prevent accidental damage to the skin around the corn. If corns on your toes become infected, you may need to ask your doctor for an antibiotic to treat the infection as the corn heals. Note that an oral or topical antibiotic will only be prescribed if the corn gets infected. Antibiotics will have no effect on the corn itself and will only treat the infection. While you should not shave or cut off a corn on your own, a professional foot doctor, or podiatrist, is often able to do so safely if the circumstances warrant it. The podiatrist will numb the area and carefully slice the thickened part of the corn off with a very sharp, thin blade. The procedure is painless and safe when done by a professional, and it can reduce overall discomfort while speeding up the healing process. If you develop corns on your toes frequently, a podiatrist may recommend a surgical procedure that can correct the positioning of the bones in your toes. This, in turn, eases the pressure put on your toes and makes the development of corns far less likely to occur. Corns can develop in between your toes when...

Article in English: Programming scientists are very advanced programmers who, instead of working on developing applications, work on developing computing technologies such as encryption, programming languages and data mining algorithms. This level is seldom achieved without academic study and dedication. This can be done either by:  Taking an actual academic degree (which is what usually happens). Getting the courses' outlines for such a degree from one of the modern universities and taking the courses either by self-study or as separate courses. This could be achieved theoretically, but the recommended path is the first. The more specific, the better. This depends on your preferences. However, here is a list of some of the major topics in computer programming science:  Algorithm design (searching, sorting, encryption, decryption and error detection in communications are some examples) Programming languages/compiler design/optimization Artificial intelligence fields (pattern recognition, speech recognition, natural language processing, neural networks) Robotics Scientific programming Super computing Computer aided design/modeling (CAD/CAM) Virtual reality Computer graphics (Computer graphics is usually wrongly confused with graphical design or graphical user interface design. Computer graphics is the field of studying how to represent and manipulate graphics in computer systems.) You might wish to pursue a master's degree or a doctorate.

Article in English: Proper diagnosis of schizophrenia is essential to treating its symptoms. Schizophrenia is difficult to properly diagnose, because it shares qualities with a number of other mental health conditions. Ask your primary care physician for a referral to a psychiatrist, psychologist or other specialist who may be able to provide proper diagnosis.  Average age of onset for schizophrenia is late teens to the early 20s for men, and late 20s to early 30s for women. Schizophrenia is rarely diagnosed in children younger than 12, or in adults over the age of 40. It's difficult to diagnosis schizophrenia in teenagers. This is because the first signs of the illness include behaviors common among teens – avoiding friends, showing less interest in schoolwork, sleep problems and irritability. Schizophrenia is a highly genetic condition. If you have a relative with schizophrenia, your chances of being diagnosed with the disorder are higher than for the typical population.  African-Americans and Hispanic people may be more likely to be misdiagnosed. Try to find a health care provider who understands the way schizophrenia affects minority communities to ensure best treatment options. To be diagnosed with schizophrenia, a person doesn't need to have all of its symptoms. He must demonstrate at least two of these symptoms over a period of time. The symptoms must have a noticeable impact on the person's ability to function, and not be better explained by another cause, such as drug use.  Delusions or hallucinations are the symptom most commonly associated with schizophrenia. Hallucinations can be either auditory or visual. These symptoms are often associated with psychotic episodes. Disorganized speech is a function of a person's cognitive disorganization. The person may be difficult to understand, not be able to stay on a topic, or respond in ways that are confusing and irrational. He may use imaginary words, or speak in an entirely made-up language. Disorganized behavior reflects the person's temporary loss of cognitive functioning...

Article in English: Proper usage is important to minimize side effects. Read the instructions on the packaging and follow the dosing schedule, or follow your doctor or pharmacist's instructions precisely. Ask questions about anything you may not understand to ensure you're using the drug properly. Do not use Flonase any more or less in either amount or frequency than your doctor has prescribed. Because the nose and throat are closely related, nasal sprays can sometimes drip into the back of your mouth or throat. Flonase is not meant to be swallowed, though, and this may cause unwanted side effects. Instead of swallowing, spit it out into the sink and rinse your mouth out. Also be careful not to get it in your eyes or mouth. Rinse thoroughly if you do. Don't expect it to immediately cure all of your symptoms. Your symptoms may lessen the after the first 12 hours but it will take at least several days to see the full benefit. Allow a few days for Flonase to work, and use it regularly on the prescribed schedule. It's important to continue using fluticasone even when you feel well, or symptoms may return. Don't stop using it without first talking to your doctor. After a period of time, he may recommend decreasing your dosage. Reporting side effects immediately helps your doctor get a sense of how to adjust your treatment. Be especially alert if you've overused it or if you develop sensitivity. Common side effects include headache, dryness or burning of the nasal passage, nosebleed, dizziness, upper respiratory infections, nausea and vomiting. If any of these side effects are severe, contact your doctor right away. However, if you experience any of the following severe side effects, stop using the drug and contact your doctor:  Swelling of face, neck, feet, or ankles Difficulty breathing or swallowing Wheezing breaths Fatigue Hives Fever Unexpected bruising.

Article in English: Proponents of the oil claim that you can get all the health benefits by taking three teaspoons a day. Larger quantities may not be safe, so limit your intake. You may wish to start with smaller quantities, such as a teaspoon a day, and build up to the maximum dosage to monitor the effects the oil has on you. Small amounts of oil most likely won’t cause harm in these situations, but there’s not enough evidence to prove this. The oil has been used for abortion purposes in the past, so play it safe by eliminating the oil from your diet during this period. At the very least, talk to your doctor first. There is a possibility that the oil can lower your blood sugar level. If you have diabetes, make sure you undergo regular testing with your blood glucose monitor. Look for any signs of hypoglycemia, such as sudden confusion, anxiety, shakiness, or heart palpitations. Black seed oil may lower blood pressure and reduce your blood’s ability to clot. If you have a disease such as anemia, speak to your doctor first before consuming oil. You may not be permitted to use oil alongside blood-thinning medication. Because the oil may affect your blood, stop consuming the oil. Give your body time to process the black seed oil and rest up for the surgery. This is especially important if you have diabetes, anemia, or take blood thinners.

Article in English: Protect cork floors from bright sunlight, which will fade the colors of the floor. Use curtains, drapes, window tint, blinds, or other window treatments to block strong light. To allow for easy movement and distribute weight, place felt pads under all heavy pieces of furniture. Put a protective mat under office chairs and other wheeled furniture. Use breathable mats made of natural fibers to collect moisture and dirt. Avoid mats with rubber or other non-porous backings, which may trap moisture and cause discoloration. Wipe your feet each time you enter to avoid tracking grit and dirt onto your cork flooring. When cork floors get wet, they expand, warp, and may ultimately crack. If you spill water on your floor, wipe it up immediately. Avoid placing items on your floor that may make it wet, such as humidifiers. If you have house plants, put trays or basins underneath them to catch any water that overflows or leaks from the pot. Cork tiles come pre-treated with sealant, but this will wear down eventually. Ideally, reapply using a sealant recommended by the manufacturer, or at least one that specifically mentions cork on the label. This is usually a water-based polyurethane finish. You may use curable oil or hard wax oil, but these are more work to apply and last for a shorter time.  Typically, to apply polyurethane, gently abrade the floor and roll on the finish using a foam roller. Leave it untouched for 24–48 hours. Follow the instructions on your finish label if it gives contradictory advice. Floor-stripping chemicals may harm the cork. To avoid having to use them, stick with the same type of finish each time. A typical home may get 5–10 years of use out of a polyurethane finish, or 1.5–2 years from wax. Cork floors in busy public buildings or businesses may need sealing every few months.

Article in English: Protect your skin before you begin the removal process. A long-sleeved shirt and long pants such as jeans protect you against scrapes. Slip a pair of gardening gloves over your hands as well. Simply line up the branches between the clippers and shear them off. Work from the outside of the bush, slowly reducing the bush’s size. You usually do not need to remove all the outer branches since cutting the thicker branches in the center also gets rid of the smaller ones. Use bypass loppers instead to make this a quick and easy job. You may also use a reciprocating saw, pruning saw, or hand saw. Locate the branches in the center of the bush. Cut them as close to the trunk as possible. A chainsaw may also be used on large bushes. Put on safety gear, including a helmet, goggles, ear defenders, and a safety mitt. Avoid letting the chainsaw touch the ground. Hold the hand saw or pruning saw flat and gradually cut through the stump. Cut the trunk to remove any remaining branches in your way. The lower you can cut the trunk, the more weight you’ll eliminate from the remaining part of the bush.  Don't use a chainsaw once you get close to the ground, since it could cause kickback. If you're not planning on removing the roots, you can stop here. Use a sander to grind down the stump and apply weed killer to kill the bush stump. Weed killer ensures that the stump can’t sprout and that diseases like mold don’t form. A pointed garden shovel works well. Dig as close to the trunk as possible. Remove the dirt on all sides of the trunk until the roots are exposed. A pruning saw or reciprocating saw cuts through most roots easily. You can also use a hand saw or a pair of loppers. If you don’t have one of these, a pointed shovel can also sever roots on smaller bushes. Cut all the roots you see. An axe or mattock are also viable options for chopping through the roots. Continue digging straight down in one spot. You’ll see the bottom of the bush right below the soil. Slip your shovel underneath it. Push down on the shovel’s handle to...

Article in English: Protecting the worksheet means that data in locked cells cannot be overwritten. This way you don’t have to worry about the balance forward being incorrectly calculated because the formula was accidentally changed. You can also create a password to further protect your check register from other users. Just make sure it's something that is easy for you to remember, or you write it in a secure place; if you forget the password you will be unable to access the worksheet. By default, once a worksheet is protected, all of the cells become locked. So to begin, you need to unlock the cells into which data will entered even after the worksheet is protected.  Select cells B2 through J100. This is all of the cells in all of the columns of the check register except the last column, K, which is the “BALANCE” column. You are going to need to be able to enter data in these cells even after the worksheet is protected. Right-click inside the selected range of cells. Select “Format Cells.” In the “Format Cells” window, select the “Protection” tab. Uncheck the box that says “Locked” and click OK. Once “Protection” is activated, this means that all cells which remained locked, including the cells in column K, “BALANCE,” cannot be overwritten.  Go to the “REVIEW” ribbon on the toolbar. Click on “Protect Sheet.” The “Protect Sheet” window will appear. If you want to password protect your worksheet, add it here.  If not, leave this field blank. Click on OK.

Article in English: Protein is an essential nutrient to your diet.  Going for more than a day or two without protein is unwise and can cause unwanted weight loss or loss of muscle mass.  Consuming adequate protein on an all liquid or soft diet may be difficult or unappetizing depending on your diet restrictions or required modifications.  If you need to consume a completely liquid or pureed diet, try to incorporate proteins such as:  beans pureed into a soup (like black bean soup), pureed tofu in soups, hummus, or puree canned soups and stews to a completely liquid consistency.  You can also process meats (ground meat, chicken, or seafood) into a smooth consistency.  Adding a little broth or sauce can turn these foods into a more liquid texture.  If you can consume soft or tender foods and do not need a liquid or pureed diet, try foods like:  meatloaf or meatballs mashed with a sauce or gravy, soft baked fish (like tilapia or salmon), tuna/egg salad, mashed tofu, scrambled eggs, mashed beans, stews or soups, and braised or roasted meats like brisket or pot roast that are fall apart tender. Many dairy products work well with restricted or modified diets.  Dairy is full of protein, calcium, and Vitamin D and can help you maintain a balanced diet more easily.  Add regular or greek yogurt to your day.  Yogurts are great smooth foods that are appropriate on a pureed or soft/mushy diet.  Regular yogurt may be easier to chew and swallow as it has a thinner consistency compared to greek yogurt.  Choose which type is more appropriate for you. Cottage cheese is another very high protein dairy food that will fit into a liquid or soft diet.  If you need your foods completely pureed, add cottage cheese to a blender or food processor for a pureed consistency. Drinking milk or adding milk to different foods (soups, stews or smoothies) can offer you another easily swallowed protein source. If you are lactose intolerant or have a milk allergy, try dairy alternatives like soy or almond based milks, yogurts, and cheeses. Many fruits and...
