Article in English: Have two small plates ready. Add enough kosher salt to cover the bottom of one plate and pour a little lime juice onto the other plate. Make sure the plate has a bit of a lip so the liquid doesn't run out. Dip the rims of your margarita glasses in the juice and immediately dip the juiced rims into the salt. The juice will help the salt stick to the glass. Consider chilling the glasses in the freezer before salting the rims and serving the margaritas. Cold glasses will make your margaritas stay cooler longer. If you don't want the salty-sweet taste of a margarita served with a salty rim, you may want to make a sugar rim. Keep in mind that this will add to the overall sweetness of your drink. To make a sugar rim, have two small rimmed plates ready. Pour a little water onto the bottom of one plate and add enough sugar to cover the bottom of the other plate. Dip the rims of your margarita glasses in the water and immediately dip them into the sugar. Different sugars will give different textures. Try demerara sugar if you want a lot of crunch and a rich flavor. For a light crunch, use granulated sugar. You probably don't want to use powdered sugar since it may dissolve too quickly. Since strawberry margaritas aren't as common as classic margaritas made with lime, garnish with strawberries. This way, if you're serving the cocktails to guests, they'll be able to tell what flavor the drinks are. Slice limes and strawberries thinly to float in the drinks. Since fruit won't easily float in the frozen margarita, you may want to leave the fruit whole or in larger slices. Simply cut a slit in a whole strawberry so you can set it in the rim of the glass. You can easily add different fruit flavors to your strawberry margarita. For example, you can add frozen sliced bananas for a strawberry banana margarita. Or for a strawberry lemonade margarita, replace the lime juice with lemon juice (or use frozen lemonade concentrate). To make a strawberry coconut margarita, add a little sweetened cream of coconut for an extra tropical...

Article in English: Have you ever bought a temporary tattoo from a quarter machine or the toy store? These temporary tattoos are printed onto water slide paper, a special paper lined with adhesive on one side. The tattoo design is printed with ink on the adhesive. Water slide paper is available online or in craft stores. The sky is the limit when you're using water slide paper; any shape, color or pattern will print beautifully onto the paper and show up clearly on your skin. Use  Photoshop or a similar computer program meant for creating images to come up with a tattoo design.  Decide whether you want the tattoo to be in black and white or color. If you have a color printer, your design can include as many colors as you want. Choose colors that will show up well against your skin. Keep in mind that when you apply the tattoo, the image will be reversed on your skin. That means that if your tattoo includes a word, it needs to be reversed in the design, or it will read backwards once you put it on. Feed the water slide paper into the paper handler in  your printer. Make sure the paper is placed correctly so that the image will be printed onto the adhesive, not the matte paper. Cut out the tattoo with a pair of scissors when you're finished.

Article in English: Have you noticed that you need new clothes, shoes, or other items all of a sudden? When you hit puberty you may gain weight and grow taller. Noticing this type of general growth can cue you to look for more specific signs of puberty. When you go through puberty, your hormones are in overdrive and your sweat glands start becoming more active. Your sweat will start to mix with bacteria, which will cause body odor. Luckily, there are many things you can do to get rid of this unpleasant odor, including:  Take a shower or bath every day. Scrub your body from top to bottom using warm water and a mild soap. Use deodorant or antiperspirant on your underarms every day. Deodorant covers up the unpleasant odor and antiperspirant keeps you from sweating a lot. Wear 100% cotton underwear to ensure fresh breathability. Look at the area around your nipples on your chest. Gently press on this spot with your fingers for small, firm, and tender lumps. If you feel a nickel-sized bump on each side, you're probably starting to develop breasts  Most girls start developing breast buds when they're 9 or 10. Don't worry about checking your breasts by hand. It's completely normal to explore your body as you develop. One bud might develop more quickly than the other as your chest gets bigger. Look at or feel your pubic area, which is around your vagina, with fingers for little hairs. They may be soft and straight or thick, coarse, and curly. Having pubic hair is a sign you've started or are about to begin puberty. It's completely normal to examine your vagina or labia for pubic hair. In addition to feeling breast buds and seeing pubic hair, you may notice your shape changing. Think about if you've noticed your clothes fitting differently, for example. Looking for regular changes to your shape in the mirror can also tell you if you're starting puberty. Other parts of your body that may get rounder or slightly bigger include:  Hips Thighs Arms Legs Hands Feet  Breasts Butt Gently touch under your arms and look at yourself in a mirror to...

Article in English: Have you suddenly gained a significant amount of weight — like more than five pounds in one day?  While overeating and lack of exercise can produce weight gain over time, gaining several pounds overnight is a sure sign of water retention.  Check your weight at various times of day, keeping a record over a period of several days.  If your weight fluctuates significantly over the course of one or a few days, these fluctuations are more likely due to water retention than to actual weight gain.  Remember that for women, the hormonal changes of the menstrual cycle can significantly impact water retention.  If your waist has swollen a few days before your period, it's highly likely this swelling will disappear within a day or two of starting your cycle.  Reevaluate toward the end of your period. If you are normally a slim person, do you see less muscle definition?  This is an additional sign of fluid accumulation. Remember that weight loss takes time; you will need to give this process several weeks.  Trimming your caloric intake and upping your activity level should produce at least some weight loss; if it doesn't, water retention is a likely culprit.

Article in English: Having a few good staples goes a long way. You can mix and match them with each other and employ layers for all seasons. Choose classic items for an elegant appearance that doesn't require a lot of forethought.  For a dressed up event, any woman will tell you that their 'little black dress' is a staple. To wear the dress for other occasions, interchange dressy pumps for simple black flats. For men, it's important to own a classic black suit and quality dress shoes. Some classic tops include a knit sweater or cardigan in a light color, a white shirt with a scooped neckline, and a white long-sleeve button down shirt.  Classic bottoms include black slacks or pants, along with dark-wash denim. Quality material and well thought-out design will go much further in a simple wardrobe than discount or cheaply made clothing. You will be able to create multiple outfits from fewer items when the clothing fits you well and lasts a long time.  Be sure to take your time finding and purchasing the classic clothes you decide to invest in. If you want to dress up your look, a statement necklace, earrings, or other piece of jewelry will go a long way. Jeans are a staple you can always rely on for a simple look. Choose jeans that are are a solid, neutral color, and don't have a large amount of detail, rips, or other decorations and seam-work on them.They'll go with everything.  Dark wash jeans are the best option since they compliment just about any top and look slimming. For the same reasons, black denim, yoga, or cotton pants are also a great staple for your wardrobe. Dark pants go well with a wide variety of other colors, and can be dressed up or down, so the options for tops and shoes are endless. To keep the simple look, choose a white or gray top. Avoid bold patterned shirts and bright colors.  If you have a lighter pair of jeans or pants, a black top can also look nice. Choose tops in any type of material, from cotton jersey to silk or satin. If you need to dress up an outfit you'll want classic solid color dress shoes for...

Article in English: Having a personal relationship with your horse is imperative in building trust with it, leading to training later on. Spend time with your horse every day, starting with just being near it and grooming it. Grooming helps connect you with the horse and forms a bond between the two of you. Work around your horse in the pasture, giving it time to build confidence in you. Talk to your horse and be a solid, calm leader for it.  Horses are prey animals, so they are always on high alert. They are aware of all changes and will be startled by sudden movement.  If you have a foal or horse younger than 4 or 5 years old, don't worry about riding and focus on building trust and confidence through simple leading and grooming. You should spend a significant amount of time gaining the horse's trust before starting to train it. Do this even if the horse is already broken, but it is new to you. Horses are powerful animals that can cause a lot of damage. While training your horse, you want to make sure you are safe. Familiarize yourself with a horse’s field of visions and then stay where your horse can see you most of the time. Horses can’t see directly in front of or directly behind them. If you are going over, right behind, or right in front of it, keep a hand on your horse so it can track you.  The best place to stand is on the horse's side, angled towards its head where it can easily see and hear you. Talk to your horse when you are out of its eyesight. This helps your horse know where you are. Don't start off walking into the horse's blind spots, build confidence where it can see you, first. Only kneel or squat by the horse if you are sure it is used to the task you are performing. Breaking a new horse is a slow process. You have to make each step habit before moving to the next step. When training, each new concept you introduce needs to build off what you have just taught your horse. Remember, you want the horse to always be sure of the correct response so it will respond confidently.  Never give up. Some steps may be...

Article in English: Having a polished violin keeps the varnish in good shape and also takes care of the gunky build up that inevitably occurs after years of playing any instrument. If your violin is new or in good shape, you may not need to polish it at all. However, if your instrument is dull and hasn’t been polished in a long time (a year or more), you may want to polish it. Check with your luthier (a specialist in string instruments) if you aren’t sure. Only use a commercial violin polish rather than furniture polish or water as these can damage both the varnish and sound of the violin.  Never use violin cleaners or polishes on master instruments or antiques, because the oils they contain could open a crack and make your instrument difficult to restore.  Polishes generally contain some type of oil, which can create fissures in the violin’s wood  and damage the instrument in the long run. Therefore, there is some disagreement over whether polishes should be used on violins at all. If you do decide to use polish on your violin, be sure to follow the specific instructions that come with your polish and be careful to only polish the body of the violin.  Apply polish to the cloth, not directly on the instrument. Rub out the smudges, dirt, any rosin buildup, using the cloth. Buff on all sides, but be careful around the F-holes to prevent polish buildup. Then take a separate rag to wipe off any excess polish to prevent moisture from entering in and damaging the violin. Avoid the strings and bridge of the violin as you don’t want any polish building up on these parts and affecting the sound of the instrument.

Article in English: Having a purpose will help you focus. Ask if there is a specific type of question you want answered. If you are reading fiction, ask what the theme of the book is. For history, ask why it matters to the present day. If you are reading for class, think about what your teacher will want to know. Try to answer these questions as you read. Once you know what you are looking for, take note of it when you find it. Underline or highlight text that is relevant. This will help you find it in the future, but it also forces you to ask yourself throughout what the most important parts of the book are. Be selective. If you highlight everything then you aren’t really focusing on what is important. When you come across an important idea, write a short note to the side of the text in the margins. This will force you to engage with the ideas and leave some record for you to go back to. A short note is usually enough to interact with the text without taking up too much time. Headers are a good clue as to what the text is about. Pay close attention to them. Reframe them as a question and while you read through the chapter, then try to answer that question. For example, if the header is, “The Attitude of the Founding Fathers toward the Government” ask yourself “What was the attitude of the founding fathers toward government?” Most people can only maintain an optimal level of focus for about fifty minutes, meaning that regular breaks are important. The end of a chapter is a good place to stop, because it usually concludes a major idea. Write some notes at the end of the chapter, describing the major ideas and/or events of the chapter. Relax for five to ten minutes. Do something pleasant during your break, like drinking a cup of hot chocolate or playing a short game. This will give you some incentive to focus and finish up the chapter. To keep your place and your focus, scan your finger along the text as you read. Keep your figure directly under what you are reading. This step should only be necessary if you find it difficult to...

Article in English: Having an adventurous palate is a sign of sophistication. Every week or two, try a restaurant featuring a type of cuisine that is entirely new to you. Search online for interesting restaurants in your area that you have yet to try.  If this type of culinary adventure is too ambitious for your budget, aim to go out for lunch instead of supper, which will be less expensive. You can also look up new and interesting recipes online to try cooking at home. Being worldly and culturally aware is a big part of embodying class and sophistication. Find books at your local bookstore or library ranging from classic literature and poetry to art history. Visit museums and art galleries whenever possible to experience art first hand.  If you are on a budget, check to see if the museums you are interested in offer student discounts or reduced admission on certain days. Speaking several languages is an impressive skill that will make you seem worldly and refined. Take language courses at your school or at a community center, or study a foreign language online. Download apps that will help to make learning new words and phrases more fun. If your family speaks multiple languages, study to achieve written and spoken fluency in all of them.

Article in English: Having different size breasts while nursing can happen often, since one breast may produce more milk than the other.  If this is happening to you, you’ll want to figure out why before you try to implement different nursing techniques.  You’ll want to make sure it’s not something your doctor or your baby’s pediatrician needs to address.  One of the reasons could be biological.  Your body might have more working milk ducts and alveoli.  Your milk ducts are made up of alveoli, which is where your breast make milk.   More working ducts and alveoli mean more milk and a bigger breast.  The shape of your nipples may be different, causing your baby to prefer one breast over the other. If you can tell your baby prefers one side over the other, make sure it isn’t because of an illness or injury in either you or your baby.  Your baby might have an ear infection or some other illness.  If your baby just had a vaccine immunization, he or she may avoid nursing on one side to avoid causing pain to the injection site.  Also, if you have a breast infection, the taste of your milk could change causing your baby to refuse that milk. Maybe you prefer nursing your baby on one breast over the other, and are consciously or unconsciously offering your baby the larger breast more than the smaller breast. If you’ve had surgery on, or injured your breast, the supply and flow of your milk may be limited, resulting in that breast appearing smaller. Since babies tend to nurse more strongly on the first breast during a nursing session, have them nurse on the smaller breast first.  This will encourage the smaller breast to produce more milk. Make a conscious effort to offer the smaller breast to your nursing baby more often the larger breast.  The more suction a breast experiences, the more milk it will produce.  Within 3 to 5 days you should notice the smaller breast is larger and about equal in size to the other. Once the breast appears equal in size, you can then offer each breast equally. If your baby is having trouble nursing from the...

Article in English: Having low self-esteem may mean you have difficulty expressing yourself in the relationship. Practice being assertive in your relationship by directly and honestly communicating your wants, needs, feelings, beliefs, and opinions. This can help you find your voice and allow you to see that what you think and feel is important in your relationship.  Don’t just go along with what your partner wants to do. For example, if your partner wants to see one movie and you’d like to see a different one, speak up and share your wishes. Say, “I know you want an action movie, but I’d like a comedy. Are you up for seeing two movies, or should we watch one tonight and one tomorrow?” Know that your needs are important. If your partner is worried about being late somewhere, say, “I know it’s important for you to be on time, however, I need some time to eat before we leave.” If your partner finds you attractive, intelligent and hardworking, accept that these may be traits that you possess. While you may be quick to ignore or combat these qualities, you can begin to see them in yourself and begin to see yourself more like your partner sees you over time. If you have a difficult time accepting how your partner sees you, ask yourself, “Is it possible I may have this quality? When have I noticed this quality in myself?” Getting approval from your partner may feel good, but the effects are often short-lived and needed again. This can feel like a constant battle of wanting to have approval and then becoming upset when your partner doesn’t give it to you. Remind yourself that you don’t need anyone’s approval, either from your parents, friends, or partner. You are worthwhile and do not need anyone’s approval to be loved or cared about.  Seeking approval might look like asking questions such as, “Do I look good in this? Do you love me? Am I good enough for you?” Don’t rely on compliments from your partner to maintain your self-esteem. Compliments may feel good, but you may revert back to negative thoughts about yourself or need constant...

Article in English: Having your legs overlap in the photo will give you a slimmer profile. Step one foot just in front of the other and pop the hip that’s farther forward. Bend your front knee slightly as you do this. If possible, have your hips face 45 degrees away from the camera. Then twist your torso forward so it’s facing the camera straight on. This creates the illusion of a slimmer waist. Most people know to suck in their stomach when posing in a bikini, but you might unconsciously arch your shoulders forward when you do. This creates bad posture and doesn’t look great in a photo. Instead, arch your back at the same time that you suck in your stomach, and roll your shoulders behind you. If it’s sunny out, the light is likely to cast shadows on your face. Raise your chin slightly above parallel to the ground so that more of the sun lands on your face. Line your fingers up with your belly button and press your elbows straight out. The negative space between your natural waist and your elbows will accentuate the slimmest part of your body. If you know the photo will be cropped, push up onto your toes just before it’s taken. This will bring out the muscles in your legs as well as make your legs look longer. Midday sun is the most unflattering light since it casts shadows under your eyes, chin, and other body parts. Try to take your bikini shots at sunrise or sunset so that the light hits you horizontally. If you must shoot at midday, lie on your back or wear sunglasses.

Article in English: He should keep this number secret from you. Tell him not to forget, since he'll have to remember it later.  We'll go through an example where your friend picks the number 6. Even kids can do the math in this trick, as long as they can multiply and divide by 2. A young kid might need to whisper the number to another person, so she can remind him later. Say "Now double the number you chose, but don't tell me the answer." In our example, 6 x 2 = 12. Ask him to add 10 to his last answer. 12 + 10 = 22. Tell your friend you're trying to read his mind, but the number is too big right now. Ask him to divide the answer by 2 to make it smaller. 22 ÷ 2 = 11. Ask him to take the last answer and subtract the original number he picked. The person in our example picked 6, so he would calculate 11 - 6 = 5. No matter what number your friend chose, he will end up with 5 as his final answer. Announce that you have read his mind, and the last number your friend wrote down is 5. If there are other people in the room, have your friend show them the piece of paper to prove it. Most of these steps are there just to make it hard for people to follow the problem. After you double the chosen number, divide it by two, and subtract the number, you've cancelled out the original number completely. Now it doesn't matter what your friend chose. The answer only depends on the extra numbers and instructions you gave him, which happen to lead to 5 in this trick.

Article in English: He should make you feel good about yourself, valuing your personality, intelligence, and kindness. If a guy is right for you, you should have fun while you are together. The right guy will make you feel loved, appreciated, and valued.  Try asking yourself, “How do I feel after hanging out with the guy I'm dating?” After you hang out with the guy you're dating, try coming home and making a list of how you felt during and after hanging out together. Some examples of feeling include happy, sad, anxious, curious, and excited. If you're dating the right guy, you should both bring out the best in one another. This means encouraging each other to grow in all aspects of your lives – emotionally, personally, and professionally. The right guy brings out your best personality traits, and you do the same for him.  Try making a list of your best qualities and behaviors. Then ask yourself, “Does the guy I'm dating bring out these things in me?” Some examples might include having a positive outlook, acting with kindness toward others, or not engaging in gossip. Communication is key to a successful relationship, and how you and your guy communicate is a great indicator as to whether he is right for you. Both partners should be able to talk openly about their feelings, hopes, and dreams. And both should listen carefully to what the other person is saying. Even if it's just small talk or what seems like an insignificant experience, it's important that you and your guy communicate openly and regularly.  Try making a list of times you communicated effectively with the guy you're dating, and times you wish the communication would have been better. An example of good communication might include the time you argued but both took time to listen to the other person's thoughts and feelings. An example of poor communication might be when he failed to inform you he wasn't coming to hang out after previously making plans to do so. Compare the lists to get a holistic perspective on your overall communication as a couple, including areas...

Article in English: He will be incredibly loyal, but it comes with time. It takes a longer time than the average guy for a Taurus to warm up to you. Don’t lose your patience and give up. Once you gain his trust, you’ll have it forever.   He may have a hard time talking about his emotions. Instead, he’ll likely act on his feelings. This can include ignoring you altogether if he’s not enjoying the relationship.  Don’t get discouraged if your guy doesn’t seem receptive at first. You’ll know if he likes you because Taurus men make overt gestures like buying chocolate or flowers. Taurus men are career driven and love to complete projects. Talk about your passion and past victories, and he will relate to you and see you as a kindred spirit.  Taurus men also love money. Knowledge about finance or the world economy will make you more attractive to him.  Be careful when you talk about your own success. Taurus men like being the breadwinner in the family, so being overly independent may turn him off. Taurus men love being in control, and they also like imparting their knowledge onto other people and being involved in decisions, even if it doesn’t concern them. You may have to be more vulnerable with a him, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable. This includes asking for help, or telling him about a vulnerable situation you are in. While some Taurus guys are risk-takers, most of them are more traditional than other men. Rather than a trip skydiving, your guy will probably enjoy doing something a little more conventional, like dinner and a movie, or hanging out inside for the night.  Taurus guys are usually not as brash and forward as men born under other zodiac signs. This means that you may have to push the issue even if you're not used to it. The more you spend time and get to talk to your guy, the more he will desire your company. He may not be a good talker, but Taurus are great listeners. He likes the finer things in life, and will not be afraid of showing his lavish lifestyle. While he’ll most likely be receptive to a sexy physical...

Article in English: He'll likely be nervous about making a good impression with his significant other's best friend. Put his mind at ease by flashing a big smile when you meet him. A genuine smile is perceived as a sign that you like someone and want to be friends with them.  In a genuine smile, the corners of the mouth are pulled upward and the muscles around the eyes contract. Make sure your smile looks welcoming and real. Don't give him a flirty smile, or you'll risk offending your friend. In a flirty smile, the head is slightly tilted and the eyes are peeking upward at a person. Everyone likes the sound of their own name. Try to say his name about 3 times during your conversation. Don't be obvious about it, just look for places where you can say it naturally. If his name is John, you might say things like:  “It's so nice to finally meet you, John, I've heard so much about you.” “John, I heard you took my friend camping last week, how was that?” “I'm really glad that you make my friend so happy, John.” Show him that you're interested in getting to know him by making easy eye contact with him. Your eyes communicate even more to people about the way you feel than your words do. If you can't make eye contact with your friend's boyfriend, it will be almost impossible to build a real friendship with him.  Try to make eye contact 50 percent of the time while you're speaking to someone and 70 percent of the time while you're listening to them. If you lock eyes more than that, you'll appear creepy or aggressive. You should maintain eye contact for at least 4 to 5 seconds at a time. If your eyes jump around too often in a conversation, you'll appear nervous, which can make people uncomfortable. Don't look down. Looking down communicates a lack of confidence. When you look away from the person you're talking to, look to the side instead. Show that you're happy to meet him by giving your voice an energetic inflection. People like people who speak with enthusiasm. They come off as fun and exciting. If you speak in a boring, monotone...

Article in English: Head to your home’s central circuit breaker and locate the switch corresponding to the water heat. Flip this switch to the “Off” position. This will cut off the electricity flowing to the unit, allowing you to open it up without fear of being zapped.  Don’t attempt to make any alterations to your water heat before double checking that the power is safely off. If the breaker for your water heater isn’t labelled, it may be necessary to use a multimeter to test for a live current. You’re looking for a reading of zero volts. Don’t forget to tag the correct breaker when you’re done. Identify the two screws at the top and bottom of the panel and use a flat-blade screwdriver to loosen them. Pull the panel free from the body of the unit and set it aside somewhere nearby. Be careful not to lose the screws. On some models, there may be a separate plastic cover beneath the metal access panel. This should come away easily with a gentle tug. Inside the water heater you’ll find a thicker layer of insulation. If it’s a single piece made from styrofoam or a similar material, you’ll be able to simply lift it out. Move fiberglass insulation out of the way by hand to clear a path to the thermostat controls. The insulation inside a water heater is used to reduce heat loss and ensure more accurate readings. The high- and low-end temperature ranges will be displayed at the bottom of the thermostat. Insert the tip of the screwdriver into the colored adjusting screw to change the temperature. Twisting it to the left (counterclockwise) will decrease the temperature, while twisting it to the right (clockwise) will increase it.  The adjusting screws on newer electric water heaters feature indicator hands which tell you approximately how hot the current setting is. Pay attention to where the hand rests, as this will allow you to fine-tune your water temperature more precisely.  If your water heater makes use of dual heating elements, make sure both thermostats are set to the same temperature so that one isn’t forced to do more work than...

Article in English: Heads are never circular, they are oval shaped, like an egg. So sketch an oval outline that tapers down at the bottom. The easiest way to start is to use dividing lines to map out the proportions of the face. Firstly, draw a line down the center of the oval. Then cut the oval in half again, this time horizontally. Divide the lower half again with another horizontal line. The point at which this crosses the vertical line is where you should begin to draw the base of the nose. Sketch out the base of the nose and a nostril either side. sub2pewdiepie  Draw two big circular balls to make out the eyes across the central horizontal line. These will form the eye sockets. The top of this circle is where the eyebrow is and at the bottom is where the cheekbone sits.     Draw the eyebrows along the top.     You then need to work on the shape of the eyes. Eyes are almond shaped, so bear this in mind as you sketch them (eyes come in every size and shape, so feel it out). As a rule of thumb, the distance between the two eyes is the width of another eye.     Inside the iris, the color inside the center of the eye, draw the pupil, which is the darkest bit of the eye. Fill most of it in black and leave a little white. With your pencil flat, use a bit of shading for the base. Shade variant from medium and light in the iris, using tightly spaced short lines from the edge of the pupil to the white of the eye. Draw lighter in some areas to give it a nice effect. Draw eyebrows above. Now rub out the guidelines below the eye.     Next, draw the top of the eyelid over the top of the almond. The base of the eyelid comes down over the top of the iris and covers the top of it slightly.    Now, add a little shading underneath the eye and where the eye meets the nose to define the socket. For a tired look, add shading and swooped lines at a more acute angle to the bottom eyelid. The base of the ear should be drawn in line with the bottom of the nose and the top of the ear in line with the eyebrows. Remember, ears should be flat against...

Article in English: Healthy newborn puppies should cry very little. In fact, they should spend most of their time either sleeping or eating. If you notice your puppy crying or whining frequently, be sure to take it to your veterinarian. Increased crying is a common symptom of most neonatal problems. If a puppy is crying, it may be overheated, becoming ill, experiencing pain, or not getting enough to eat. Puppies nurse frequently throughout the day. If you notice that any of the puppies are not nursing regularly, this may be a symptom of a larger problem. The puppies may be ill, have a digestive disorder, or be unable to nurse properly. Be sure to visit your veterinarian if you observe a decrease in appetite by any of your puppies.  This may be a symptom of hypothermia as well. Pups younger than six days old are unable to shiver and regulate their body temperature properly. A pup suffering from hypothermia will be unable to nurse or digest its food. You can help with this by keeping a heat lamp above your whelping box. The dam lets down her first milk, called colostrum, right after the puppies are born. This milk is thicker than regular milk and full of antibodies, which provide passive immunity. It is very important that all the puppies in the litter get this milk to be healthy and grow. Depending on the breed, a healthy newborn puppy can weigh between 4.2 and 22 ounces (120 to 625 g). In its first few weeks, a healthy puppy should gain 5 to 10 percent of its birth weight each day. Weigh your puppies twice a day and take them to the veterinarian if they are not gaining weight normally or are losing weight. A failure to gain weight or a loss in weight can be a symptom of poor nutrition, an infection, or a congenital disorder like hypoglycemia.  Be sure to talk with your veterinarian about what healthy weight gain should look like for pups. A loss in weight may also be the result of nipple guarding by larger puppies in the liter. When they are not nursing, newborn puppies should spend most of their time sleeping. If you notice...

Article in English: Healthy relationships tend to bring stability to your life. A healthy relationship is important for your sense of wellbeing and your sense of identity, whether it's a friendship or a romantic relationship. Finding ways to make your relationships more stable and healthy can bring an overall sense of satisfaction and consistency to your life.  Be respectful of one another at all times. You can joke and tease, but your teasing shouldn't be hurtful or serious. Show respect in the way you treat one another, including the way you speak to one another. Try to trust one another. If you have a hard time with trust, remind yourself that this person is not someone who has hurt you in the past, and it's unfair to treat him/her as such. Support one another in all of your endeavors. Be honest at all times. Never lie, cheat, or deceive one another, or you'll have no foundation for trust. Share responsibility for the relationship or friendship. Be accountable for your own actions, and make sure both people contribute equally to making time together. Be willing to compromise or negotiate in order to resolve disputes. Rituals are the little habits of familiarity you share with another person. These may seem like minor things, but they can be quite helpful in building a stronger relationship between you and your romantic partner or your friends.  Rituals are very important, as they can help you bond with your friends or your partner on an emotional level. Rituals can help you build a stronger connection based on familiarity and intimacy. You don't have to have grand, sweeping gestures to turn into rituals. The best and most intimate rituals between partners or friends are the little things - the way you greet one another, the inside jokes you tell, and so on. A ritual doesn't have to be forced. There are probably little things you do all the time without recognizing them as a sort of ritual between you, and being more aware of it as a ritual can help strengthen your bond. Communication is key if you want to develop stability...

Article in English: Heart attacks can produce similar symptoms to heart valve leaks. In addition, a leaky heart valve can cause a heart attack. If you are unsure whether or not you are having a heart attack, you should call emergency medical responders to be safe. Heart attack symptoms include:  Chest pain or pressure Pain that travels to your neck, jaw, down the arm, or back Feeling that you will vomit Abdominal discomfort, especially in the upper central (epigastric) region Heartburn or indigestion Shortness of breath Sweating Exhaustion Lightheadedness or dizziness This valve is the one that leaks most frequently. In this condition, when the left ventricle contracts, blood travels both into the aorta and back into the chamber it came from (the atrium).  This can increase the amount of blood in the left atrium, create more pressure in the pulmonary veins, and produce fluid build-up in the lungs. If your condition is mild, you may not notice any symptoms. If your condition is severe, you may experience:  Heart palpitations when you lie on your left side Shortness of breath Coughing Chest congestion Fluid buildup in your feet and ankles Dizziness Chest pain Heart failure When the left ventricle relaxes, blood is supposed to travel out of the heart into the aorta. But if the valve leaks, it also returns to the left ventricle. This can increase the amount of blood in the left ventricle, causing it to thicken and pump less efficiently. The walls of the aorta may also develop weak areas that may swell. Aortic valve regurgitation can be a congenital condition or be caused by high blood pressure, an infection, or injury to the valve. Symptoms include:  A heart murmur when the left ventricle relaxes Heart palpitations Heart failure Blood travels through the pulmonary valve as it goes from the heart to the lungs. If the valve leaks, some blood returns to the heart instead of going to the lungs. This condition is rare, but can be caused by congenital heart problems, high blood pressure, rheumatic fever, or a heart infection. Not everyone...

Article in English: Hearthstone is an online trading card game (TCG) that is designed to allow players to enjoy the fun of TCG duels online. It is somewhat a toned-down Magic: The Gathering for its simple mechanics yet strategic approach to TCG. For you to win in a Hearthstone duel, you must deplete your opponent’s hit points (HP) to zero. If you depleted your deck, no problem. In Hearthstone, an empty deck does not result in defeat. Instead, you will just receive fatigue damage on each of your following turns. Hearthstone players will have heroes to choose from before they enter the duel. These heroes will each have a unique ability that will aid you in defeating your opponent. Hero abilities cost 2 mana. Hearthstone cards are divided into three categories: minions, spells, and weapons. Hearthstone cards cost mana. They can only be used if you meet the exact amount of mana they require. Attacking your enemy is simple: you must first select the card you’d like to use for the attack; it may be a weapon, a spell, or a minion. After selecting your card, simply select the target of that attack. You can attack an enemy minion or the enemy hero directly.

Article in English: Heat 4 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once starting to sizzle, add in a chopped onion and fry for 4 to 5 minutes. The onion will be done when it's a deep, golden brown. If you'd like, you can use a healthier oil, like olive or grapeseed. In the same pan as the onion, add the chopped garlic and ginger. Cook the onion in the spices for 1 or 2 minutes more. When the time is up, add the salt, turmeric, and ground cumin. Cook for another 60 seconds or so. Don't feel like scrolling?  That's 2 cloves of chopped garlic, 1/2 teaspoon julienned ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon turmeric, and 1 teaspoon ground cumin. Stir up the sauce well so the flavors are uniformly combined. Every bit of chicken should be immersed in a concoction of equally tangy, garlic-y, cumin-y, onion-y goodness. Those spices by themselves wouldn't make for much of a korma (though it would have quite the kick). To turn them into a veritable sauce, add 1 cup of water and stir well. At this point, the chicken should be immersed on all sides. Stir it up well – you don't want a cup of water marinating your chicken on top of a layer of spices. At this point, it should be reminiscent of a spicy broth. Take the pan down to medium-low to finish cooking. Add the 1/4 cup of cream and 1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala and stir, mixing well. Instead of a broth, you now have a creamy, delicious korma just about ready to eat. Let it finish cooking on low for another 5 minutes. Give it a taste test before serving. Are there any last minute spices you'd like to add? If you want to get fancy, of course. Ladle it on top of rice, heat up the naan, and you've got a delectable (and fairly quick) dinner ready to please your guests. For the record, this recipe aims to serve four people.

Article in English: Heat a large pot of water over medium-high heat. Once the water comes to a gentle boil, lower the hot dogs into the water. Simmer the uncovered hot dogs for 25 minutes.  Parboiling will cook the hot dogs just enough so they hold their shape. Then you can finish cooking them on the stove or grill. Avoid boiling the hot dogs over high heat or the casings could burst. Fill a large bowl with ice water and use tongs to transfer the hot dogs to the bowl. Let the hot dogs stay in the ice water for about 5 minutes. Then remove the hot dogs from the ice water and put them in a container until you're ready to finish cooking them. You can cover and refrigerate the parboiled hot dogs for up to 1 week. When you're ready to finish cooking the hot dogs or if you'd like to cook store-bought hot dogs, decide if you want to boil them in a pot of water, toss them on the grill, or slice and sear them in a skillet. To ensure that the hot dogs are fully cooked, insert an instant-read meat thermometer. The hot dogs should reach 145 to 150 °F (63 to 66 °C). Gently open a fresh hot dog bun and use tongs to place a cooked hot dog on the bun. You can use any type of bun such as potato, whole-wheat, gluten-free, or oat.  Consider warming the buns in a 200 °F (93 °C) oven for about 10 minutes. To make the hot dogs easier to fill, consider slicing them in half lengthwise before putting the hot dog on the bun. and serve them with your choice of condiments. Sprinkle cheese or diced onions over the hot dogs if you like. Then set out a variety of condiments such as ketchup, mustard, relish, chili, and sauerkraut. Branch out with hot sauce, chutney, salsa, or coleslaw. To store leftover, fully-cooked hot dogs, put them in an airtight container without the buns and condiments. Refrigerate them for up to 3 or 4 days.

Article in English: Heat can help to treat pain as it slows down the transmission of pain signals in your body. It also helps to relax tense tissue and muscles. Put a heating pad wrapped in a thin towel over your lower abdomen to help ease the pain. Leave the heating pad on for 20-30 minutes at a time. If you suspect you have a ruptured ovarian cyst, avoid putting heat on this area, as a heating pad will make the inflammation worse. If you have a ruptured cyst, you may feel mild to sharp abdominal pain, nausea, breast tenderness, and lower back pain. Ruptured cysts are life-threatening, so you should seek immediate medical treatment. Some women find that cold may also ease ovarian pain, though many women find heat to be more effective. Wrap the ice pack in a towel before placing it on the affected area. Leave the ice pack on for 20-30 minutes at a time. You can try alternating between a heating pad and an ice pack every 20-30 minutes to help reduce the pain. Some find alternating between hot and cold is effective. Ovarian pain can lead to bloating and discomfort in your abdominal area. Put on clothing made of breathable materials like cotton or linen. Wear loose pants and tops that will not squeeze or constrict your body. Get acetaminophen or ibuprofen tablets at your nearest drugstore and take them at home to reduce your ovarian pain. Follow the dosage instructions on the label. Never exceed the recommended amount. Try closing your eyes and sitting or lying down in a quiet, low lit space. Inhale through your nose for a count of 4. Then, exhale through your nose for a count of 4. Continue to do this for 2 to 4 minutes.  Deep breathing can help to reduce feelings of stress and anxiety that can accompany ovarian pain. You can try doing deep breathing in a relaxing yoga class to help with your ovarian pain. Feel free to adjust your yoga practice as you see fit based on your symptoms. For instance, you may want to avoid inversions when you are menstruating. Try not to do any strenuous activities like working out or running. Do not...

Article in English: Heat helps your muscles relax, which can relieve lower back pain. Heat is more effective for chronic back pain than ice.  Take a short warm shower for 10 minutes before you get into bed. Let the warm water run over your lower back. Alternately, take a hot bath before bed. Use a hot water bottle or heating pad to apply heat to your sore areas. Do not use a hot water bottle or heating pad while sleeping! You could risk burns or even fire. Use heat for about 15 – 20 minutes before you go to sleep. Breathe in and out deeply, audibly at first. Visualize each muscle in your body relaxing.  Begin by taking some deep breaths. Close your eyes and notice the rhythms of your breathing. Imagine yourself in a place where you feel relaxed and calm. This could be at the beach, in a forest, or even in your own room. Notice as many sensory details as you can about this place. Use all of your senses — sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell — to imagine what it is like to be in this relaxing place. Spend a few minutes in this relaxing place before you drift off to sleep. You can also listen to a guided sleep meditation downloaded to your smartphone or played from your computer. Eating a large meal near bedtime can cause acid reflux and may keep you awake. A light snack such as a piece of toast may help you stay asleep if you tend to wake up hungry in the middle of the night.  Limit your overall alcohol consumption. Do not have more than one drink per day for women or two drinks per day for men. Drinking alcohol before bed may help you fall asleep, but it interferes with REM sleep, which is necessary for waking up feeling rested and refreshed.  Try to avoid drinking caffeine within six hours of your bedtime. It can disrupt your sleep. Sold in sports stores and drugstores, these rubs can create a pleasant sensation of warmth and relaxation in your muscles. Prolonged bed rest can create muscle stiffness and increase back pain. Unless otherwise recommended by your doctor, don’t stay in bed for too long. It's important to get up and...

Article in English: Heat is one of the easiest ways and most common ways to denature a protein. When the protein in question is present in food, simply cooking the food will denature the proteins. Many proteins can be denatured by exposing them to a temperature of or above 100° C (212° F). This allows the proteins to coagulate and reduce their solubility. The length of exposure depends on what you are exposing to heat. An egg, for example, may cook in a pan on medium heat in five minutes, while a roast may take hours to cook in an oven. Alcohol disrupts the hydrogen bonds that occur between amide groups of a peptide bond. When a protein is exposed to an alcohol solution, the alcohol molecules form new bonds with the protein chain. Use a solution of 70% alcohol to break through the cell wall of bacteria and denature the protein. Concentrated alcohols can be dangerous, as they are both flammable and toxic. Always wear full safety equipment including gloves and eye protection, and handle in a secure, temperature-controlled environment. The internal structure of a protein can be broken down when its environment is very acidic or very alkaline, as they disrupt the ionic bonds that hold the protein’s salt bridges together. Add an acid or base solution to the protein. The surrounding environment should be at a pH of above 10 or below 4 to encourage denaturation. If you're inducing the change with acid, the pH should be between 2 and 5. Changing the pH can ionize an amino acid, depending on the pKa of each functional group in that amino acid. You can also ionize the amino group or carboxyl group present in the amino acid. Heavy metals can disrupt bonds in the protein, causing it to lose its structure. Salts of heavy metals such as mercury and lead may be used to denature different proteins. Such salts are available from most chemical suppliers, and should always be used with caution and proper safety equipment including gloves and eye protection. Heavy metals can interact with a protein's functional side chain groups to form complexes....

Article in English: Heat loss is a major energy drain, so dress warmly to slow down your metabolism.  When you are cold, your body increases the levels of uncoupling protein in your cells.  Uncoupling proteins interfere with ATP production, resulting in heat instead of useful energy from the food that you eat. Levels of thyroid hormone also rise in this situation.  This may serve to initiate the production of uncoupling proteins.  Thyroid hormone is "the most significant regulator of basal metabolic rate" representing about one-half of the BMR. Move to the warmest area you can find, or build a shelter if you are outdoors. Everything that you do burns calories. Even small things like picking up sticks or skipping rocks.  After you have been exercising for a while, your metabolism remains elevated for a period of time, even when you are resting.  Every mile that you walk burns 100 calories, and that does not account for the increase in metabolism produced by exercise.  Try to sleep if possible. Your body will expend energy to warm up the water. This is energy that you could be saving for a more life-critical task, such as hunting for food for surveying for escape routes.

Article in English: Heat rash occurs when sweat does not evaporate from the skin.  It manifests as clusters of small, red bumps or blisters and, while not serious, should be treated before the condition worsens.  Remove the affected party from the heat and humidity while keeping rashy areas dry. These rashes will most likely appear on body parts with folds or increased chafing and contact with clothing, such as the chest, neck, groin, elbow and knee crease, and under-breast areas. If you lose too much salt and moisture through sweating, your salt-depleted muscles can begin to cramp.  Affected individuals should retreat immediately to the cool, dry area to rest and hydrate for a few hours at minimum.  If cramping persists, you should summon medical assistance.  Cramps most commonly occur in the abdominal area, but they can also affect your legs or arms, so pay attention to any unusual pain and address it at once. You can try to avoid heat cramps in the future by removing excess clothing and consuming more electrolytes when hydrating. If a person begins to sweat heavily, complain of nausea, dizziness, or weakness, and demonstrate clammy skin and irritability, you should consider the person at risk of heat exhaustion.  This is a serious condition and should be remedied immediately.  Have the person lie down in a cool, shady area, give them cool beverages, and apply cold compresses or ice to their skin. Even if you’re conscientiously administering immediate treatment, don’t let it drag on for too long.  If you’re not noticing tangible and substantial improvements within the span of 30-60 minutes, call paramedics immediately in order to prevent exhaustion progressing to heat stroke. Heat stroke occurs when a person’s internal temperature reaches 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) and the body loses its ability to regulate cooling and temperature.  This condition can cause permanent disability and death, thus it demands urgent professional care.  You can recognize heat stroke from the following symptoms: dry, hot skin due to...

Article in English: Heat the water until it just begins to bubble, then adjust the temperature to keep it constant. You want the blanching water to be hot enough to hydrate and soften the runners, but not so hot that it cooks them too quickly.  Make sure the pot you’re using is big enough to hold all of the beans you want to freeze. If you're preparing a particularly large crop of fresh beans, you may need to blanch them in separate batches. Adding a pinch of salt to the blanching water may also help preserve the runner beans longer. Drop the beans into the pot a handful at a time and give them a stir. Set a timer for 3 minutes and leave the pot uncovered. At the end of this time, the beans should appear plump and bright green.  As the beans boil, they’ll take in moisture, which will allow them to freeze easily. Keep an eye on the color and texture of the runners as you’re blanching them. If they look exceptionally dark or soft, they may be in danger of overcooking. Turn off the cooktop and drain the boiling water from the pot. Plunge the runner beans into a separate bowl filled with equal parts water and ice to neutralize the heat of the boiling water. Alternatively, you can transfer them back to the colander and run them directly under the faucet. Placing the beans in cold water immediately after blanching them will halt the heating process and prevent them from actually cooking through. It will also lower their temperature gradually in preparation for freezing. Remove the beans from the ice bath or colander and pour them out onto a layer of folded paper towels. Dab them lightly by hand to soak up as much of the remaining moisture as you can. Afterwards, let them finish air drying for 5-10 minutes.  The drier the beans are when they go into the freezer, the less likely they are to form ice crystals.  Be careful not to mash or break the beans while you’re drying them. They might be a little soft from blanching.

Article in English: Heat wraps are useful for temporarily relieving soreness from overuse of muscles, pain from strain to joints in your back, arms and legs, and cramping associated with menstruation. Heat therapy can be soothing, but will not help your body heal injuries. You should talk to a doctor about treatment options if you are injured, or if your pain is severe. Because a Thermacare wrap requires clean, dry skin to attach to, they cannot be used over an area where a therapeutic cream or ointment is applied. Doing so will prevent the wrap from adhering properly. Not all varieties of heat pad are suitable for application to all parts of the body. Thermacare offers several varieties of heat wrap, each suitable for a different part of the body. The varieties currently available are:  Lower back and hip Knee and elbow Neck, wrist and shoulder Menstrual, for the lower abdomen Multi-purpose, for use on any location on the back, arms or legs. This will allow you to monitor your response to the heat wrap and watch out for irritation or discomfort. Once you confirmed that the wraps are comfortable for your use, you can consider wearing them during sleep.

Article in English: Heavy bags are the most commonly used boxing bag. If you don’t have access to a gym and want to purchase a bag, a heavy bag is your best option. If you have access to a gym or can splurge on more equipment, get a speed bag and an uppercut bag, too. You hit a speed bag with the sides and heels of your fist in quick, rhythmic rotations. An uppercut bag is shorter than a heavy bag, allowing you to properly throw an uppercut punch. at chin height with your lead, non-dominant hand. As you throw the punch straight out at chin height, dip your head slightly and tuck in your chin toward your chest.  A jab is a quick punch that sets up other punches. You can add more power to a jab by stepping forward with your lead foot. Throw the cross punch with your dominant hand, and use your back leg to generate force. Drive off of your back foot, rotate your dominant shoulder and hip forward, and throw your dominant arm and fist straight forward at chin height. Hooks are typically thrown with the lead fist, as a hook thrown with a dominant fist can leave you more vulnerable. Raise your lead elbow to face height and keep it bent at a 90 degree angle. Tuck it close to your body at around shoulder width, and make a compact punch from the side. Rotate your hips and torso in the direction of the punch to generate force. Bend your dominant knee and twist your body downward so your it’s almost parallel with the floor. Keep your elbow bent at a 90 degree angle, and dip your throwing arm backward so the heel of your fist faces upward and is roughly in line with your lower chest. Rotate your hips and torso up and forward, and thrust your fist up to land the punch on your opponent’s chin (or training bag). Use the rotation of your torso and your dominant leg to power your punch.  The uppercut is powerful and more difficult to master than other basic punches. You can also throw an uppercut with your non-dominant hand. Once you’ve nailed individual punches, you can work on doing 3 minute rounds of combination drills. Each punch is assigned...

Article in English: Heavy saucepans work best for this recipe. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients together until you've made a rich, creamy mixture. You should insert a candy thermometer into the mixture so you can monitor the temperature carefully. As you cook it, make sure to stir it often. When the mixture is close to reaching the desired temperature, you should be stirring it constantly. You can prepare the pan while the mixture is cooking, though you have to take care to continue stirring it in the process. Better yet, you can prepare the pan in advance so you don't have to worry about it while your precious chocolate is cooking. Here is all you have to do:  Line a 9 x 13 inch (23 x 33 centimeter) pan with foil. Spray it with non-stick cooking pray. The bowl should be made of metal. If you use a glass, make sure it's large enough to fit the ingredients with some room for stirring left over. Once the marshmallow mixture is as hot as it needs to be, pour it over the chocolate chip mixture. Now, you should use either a hand held electric mixer, a heavy-duty mixer, or a whisk to beat the ingredients together. Make sure you're beating the ingredients over low speed and that you continue to mix them until the chocolate is thoroughly melted. The ingredients should be fully combined, instead of chunky or uneven. If you'd like to add additional ingredients, such as walnuts, pecans, peppermint marshmallows, white chocolate chunks, or anything else that suits your fancy, the time to do it is now. Carefully tip the bowl toward the pan and release the mixture into the pan in an even fashion. You may have to move the bowl back and forth slightly as you pour out the ingredients and to tilt the pan back and forth until you've distributed them in an even layer. Give it at least an hour to fully harden. You can also let it sit there overnight, if you like, but you may be tempted to eat your tasty treat much sooner than that. Just cut your creamy chocolate fudge into 1" (2.5 cm) squares and serve it as it is. You can put it on a plate for...

Article in English: Helicopter parents often swoop in and do things for their children, even though the children would have been perfectly capable of doing it on their own. This increases dependency and deprives kids of the chance to try things for themselves, so give them a chance to figure it out.  If you're having a hard time with this, start with small things, like letting your children dress themselves or make their own lunches. Once you get more comfortable with them doing everyday activities on their own, you may feel better about letting them deal with more complicated situations on their own too. If you know that your children do certain things for themselves when they are at school or with the babysitter, hold them to that same standard of independence when you are around. If your children are used to your helicopter parenting, they may be accustomed to running to you for help whenever something is challenging or doesn't go their way. This will not help your children learn and grow, so avoid running to their aid right away.  If your children are in immediate danger of any kind, help them right away! It may help to count to ten in non-emergency situations. For example, if your child asks you to help him with a puzzle, tell him you'll be there in a minute. Then count to ten, while he takes some more time to work on it himself. He might just figure it out without your help. While there's nothing wrong with contacting the school to help resolve an issue, you should always ask yourself if your child would be able to handle it without you first. If the answer is yes, allow your child the opportunity to deal with the situation before you intervene. For example, if your child is having a problem with another child at school, do not intervene right away. However, if your child is being bullied, you should intervene right away.  This is especially true if your children are in college. You should only contact the school in extreme situations. Some signs of bullying include coming home from school with injuries, losing personal...

Autorize-os a fazerem as coisas sozinhos. Não corra para ajudar sempre que eles pedirem. Veja se as crianças não poderiam resolver um eventual problema escolar sozinhas. Ouça. Pare de esconder as consequências.


Article in English: Henna powder is derived from the henna flower. The powder is made into a paste that is applied to skin or hair to turn it a coppery reddish color. Henna powder typically comes in 100-gram boxes, which is the perfect amount to dye medium-length hair. Paprika and clove powder can also be used to dye your hair various shades of red. If you don't have access to henna powder, try one of these spices instead. According to the instructions that came with your henna powder, mix the powder with spoonfuls of water until you have a creamy paste. If you want to lighten your hair as well as turning it red, use lemon juice in place of water. Cover the paste and let it sit overnight. Stir in one more spoonful of water the next day, and the henna paste is ready to go. Wet your hair (no need to shampoo it), towel dry it, and comb through it to remove any tangles. Put on a pair of latex or plastic gloves to protect yourself from the dye. Use your fingers to work the henna paste through your hair, making sure to cover every strand.  If a stray bit of henna paste gets on your skin, wipe it off right away. Henna paste will dye your skin just as easily as it dyes your hair. For henna highlights, separate strands of hair you'd like to highlight from the rest of your head using strips of aluminum foil. Paint the henna paste onto the strands of hair using an old pastry brush. Put on a shower cap or use a few pieces of plastic wrap to cover your hair while the dye sets in. Let it sit in your hair for at least 4 hours. The longer you let it sit, the redder your hair will be. Use cold water to wash out the dye. Keep running the water through your hair until it runs clear instead of red. Wait until the next day before shampooing your hair. Your hair will be rich red at first, and over the course of a few days it will lighten.

Article in English: Herbs should be watered based on the soil conditions, rather than after a set number of days. Every few days, inspect the soil where the herbs are planted. If it looks dry, or the top few inches feel dry, lightly water the soil but not the foliage. Do your best not to overwater the plants, as herbs only require moist, not soggy, soil. Water the herbs in the morning or evening, rather than in the heat of the day. Herbs don’t require much fertilizer, especially if they’re planted in rich soil. You can use a natural, balanced fertilizer once or twice each growing season, but be warned that too much fertilizer can alter the flavor of the herbs. Simply sprinkle slow-release granules of fertilizer onto the soil around the herbs. Use only half as much as the package directs. Herbs in containers require more fertilization than those grown directly in a garden. Aim to fertilize herbs in pots twice per growing season. To preserve moisture, protect the herbs from cold temperatures, and keep weeds from growing near them, you can add mulch. Choose an organic mulch like leaves, pine needles, straw, wood chips, or cocoa bean shells, and layer it up to 4 inches (10 cm) deep around the base of the plant. Take care not to get mulch on the crown of the plant. Throughout the growing season, you can increase your yield with a little pruning. Use sharp shears to cut away small portions of the top of the plant or the leaves. Avoid pruning more than ⅓ of the plant, which could damage it and decrease its growth. Herbs don’t generally suffer from diseases or pest infestations. However, if you do notice problems, like spider mites or powdery mildew, use natural products to treat the herbs. Visit your local garden center and ask for a recommendation on a pesticide or fungicide to clear up your specific problem.

Summary in Portuguese:

Regue quando o solo estiver seco ou com a aparência seca. Use um fertilizante balanceado uma ou duas vezes durante a estação de crescimento. Adicione uma camada de turfa com 5 a 10 cm de profundidade. Apare a parte superior ou as folhas das ervas para aumentar o crescimento. Use pesticidas ou fungicidas naturais, se necessário.

Article in English: Here's what you'll need to make ginger ale using the stove-top method:  1 1/2 ounces finely grated fresh ginger 3/4 c (6 ounces) sugar 7 1/2 cups (60 ounces) filtered water 1/8 teaspoon (.5 g) active dry yeast 2 tablespoons (30 g) freshly squeezed lemon juice Over medium-high heat, add the grated ginger, sugar, and 1/2 cup (4 oz) water together. Stir your concoction until the sugar has dissolved completely. This will take a few minutes, so be patient. Place it to the side, cover and allow to steep for 1 hour. Resist the urge to mess with it -- right now your concoction needs uninterrupted time. The easiest way to do this will be to pour the syrup through a fine mesh strainer set directly over the bowl. Press down on the bits to get all of the juice out of the mixture. Once you've got as much liquid out as possible, throw the bowl in an ice bath or set in the refrigerator until the concoction reaches room temperature -- 68 to 72°F (20 to 22°C). Place it on top of a clean, plastic 2-liter bottle and pour in the syrup. Then, add the yeast, lemon juice and remaining 7 cups of water (56 oz). Twist the cap on the bottle until it's securely on and gently shake to mix everything together. Leave it alone and at room temperature for 48 hours. But no longer! If you leave it out too long, the taste will start to become too bitter as the yeast ferments. Pop open the top and check for the right amount of carbonation. If there seems to be enough, throw that baby in the fridge. If not, wait a little longer. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, opening the bottle at least once a day to let out excess carbonation. Otherwise pressure will build up and you risk it exploding.

Article in English: Hereditary forms of anemia can’t be completely cured. However, you can treat them by avoiding certain triggers that cause you to destroy more RBCs. Common ways to keep yourself healthy so you do not trigger RBC destruction include keeping yourself warm, staying hydrated, limiting contact with food triggers, and avoiding contact with people with colds, the flu, or other bacterial or viral disorders.  This can be easier said than done. You can't always know if the people you come into contact with have a cold or the flu. Stay as healthy as possible to keep your immune system healthy and be less susceptible to infections. Sickle cell anemia can be triggered by cold, dehydration, exercise, fever, and infections. When you have sickle cell anemia, there are certain lifestyle changes you can make to help avoid a sickle crisis. These include:  Drinking plenty of water every day Avoiding temperature extremes, either cold or hot Exercising in moderation Flying only on airplanes with pressurized cabins Using supplemental oxygen at high altitudes A certain form of anemia is caused by the deficiency of a specific enzyme called G6PD. This form of anemia can be triggered by foods, drugs, and other substances. Always read the list of ingredients on any product you eat or come into contact with to make certain it doesn’t contain anything that can trigger it. Ingredients that trigger issues if you have G6PD deficiency are:  Fava beans and all legumes Sulfites Menthol and artificial blue coloring Black or green teas Ascorbic acid Tonic water, which contains quinine Some gluten-free products, which may contain fava beans

Article in English: Here’s how to check:  If you’re using a Mac, open the Apple menu and click “About this Mac.” Click “More Info,” then “Bluetooth” in the list on the left side of the screen. If the right side of the Hardware screen shows any sort of device information (such as “Apple Bluetooth Software Version 4”), you have Bluetooth. In Windows, press ⊞ Win+X and select “Device Manager.” Click “Laptop.” If you see a category under Laptop called “Bluetooth Radios,” click it to expand a list of Bluetooth devices. If anything appears in this list, you have Bluetooth. Find a location in your home or office to place the Bluetooth speakers. Some things to keep in mind:  The speakers will need to be plugged into a power source. Having a wall between the laptop and the speaker shouldn’t affect the connection too much, but it can potentially decrease sound quality. If you want to be able to turn the speakers on and off easily, you may not want to mount them in a difficult-to-reach location. Check your speaker manual to find out how close your laptop must be to your speakers. Typically these speakers can be up to 30 feet away, but some devices may have lower ranges. This process is different depending on the manufacturer of your speakers. Often there is a button on the speakers that must be held down for a few seconds to put the device into “discovery” mode. Check your manual to be sure. This process depends on your operating system:  If you’re using Windows 8 or 10, open the Action Center by clicking on the notification icon in the taskbar (near the clock). Select “Bluetooth,” then “Connect” to begin the search for devices. When the speakers appear, select them to connect. Windows 7 users should open the Start menu, then click “Devices and Printers.” Click “Add a device” to start a search for Bluetooth devices.

Article in English: Hernias may be caused by a host of different factors. Once they are formed, they may or may not present pain. Look for these symptoms, especially for hernias located in the abdominal or groin region: You see swelling where the pain is located. The swelling is usually on the surface of the areas such as the thigh, abdomen or groin.     The swelling may or may not hurt.     Bulges, such as those that you find in an inguinal hernia, can often be pushed back into your abdomen when you lie down. Bulges that cannot be pushed in when pressed down on need immediate medical attention.     You may notice pain that ranges from mild discomfort to severe pain. A common symptom of hernias is pain present when straining or doing a strenuous activity. If you experience pain during the following activities, you may have a hernia:     Lift heavy objects.     Cough or sneeze.     Exercise or exert yourself.     Hernia pain is often worse at the end of the day, or after long periods of standing. Why do hernias affect more than 5 million Americans? Hernias can happen for many reasons, including straining on the toilet, chronic constipation, heavy lifting, and smoking. Here are a few more of the factors that put people at an increased risk for hernias: Genetic predisposition: If any of your parents had hernias, you are more likely to develop one.     Age: The older you get, the higher your chance of getting a hernia.     Pregnancy: While pregnant, the mother's stomach stretches out, making a hernia more likely.     Sudden weight loss: People who suddenly lose weight are at increased risk of developing a hernia.     Obesity: People who are overweight have higher chances of developing hernias compared to those who are not.     Persistent cough: Coughing puts a lot of pressure and stress on the abdomen, and can lead to a hernia.

Article in English: Hibiscus plants need a pot of their own to grow in, so plan on using 1 pot for each rooted cutting. You can purchase hibiscus soil at some hardware stores, as well as at nurseries. Pour the soil into the pot with about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space at the top. If you can't find specialty hibiscus soil, you can use any high-quality topsoil. Mix the topsoil with 4 parts soil to 1 part sand or peat moss to make it slightly less rich. Using your hands or a garden spade, make a space in the soil to plant the cutting. Be sure to account for the size of the roots of the plant, which will need to fit into the hole. When in doubt, make the hole slightly larger than necessary and fill it in will more soil later. Lower the stem into the soil, being careful not to damage the fresh roots. Position it so that the leaves are above, but not touching, the topsoil. Then, fill the hole with soil and water the area thoroughly. If your leaves are touching the soil, they can begin to rot. Depending on the size of the cutting, you may need to add a small amount of soil to the bottom of the hole to ensure that the plant isn't buried too deep. After planting, place the pot in a bright area away from direct sunlight as the roots become established in the soil. Leave the plants in the indirect sunlight all day for 2 weeks. Once 2 weeks have passed, move the plant to direct sunlight to jumpstart growth of the stem and leaves. Hibiscus plants love the sun, so once the roots are established, leave the plant in the sun, rotating it every few months to get even sunlight. To make sure you aren't giving your hibiscus too much water, feel the soil about 1.5 hours after you water the plant. It should be slightly moist, but not wet. If it's wet, limit watering to every other day to avoid standing water in the pot. In the winter, water the hibiscus with warm water around 95 °F (35 °C) to encourage growth.

Article in English: Hidden cameras are designed to be as discrete as possible, but many will still emit a slight sound when they are working. When the area of suspected surveillance is as quiet as possible, walk around slowly to listen out for any buzzing or slight clicking noises that might be coming from a hidden camera.  Try searching the room late at night to reduce the ambient sound in the room. This will make isolating and locating any noises much easier. There are plenty of different mechanical and electrical devices that can make quiet buzzing and clicking noises. Combine this method with other ways of identifying hidden cameras and microphones to differentiate between malicious and ordinary items. Surveillance devices can be hidden inside other devices that require electricity, such as smoke detectors. Take your smoke detector down from the ceiling and look for a microphone or camera inside. Check your speakers, lamps, and other electronics for signs of tampering that may indicate someone added a microphone.  Smoke detectors are a perfect place for microphones to be hidden as they have built-in power and are normally centralized in a room. Microphones or cameras hidden inside smoke detectors or other electronics will usually be easily visible. Look for anything that doesn't seem to be attached to the rest of the device, or anything that looks like a microphone or camera. One of the most common ways of hiding a microphone or camera in a room is by hiding it in something inconspicuous, such as a teddy bear or a vase of flowers. Look around the room for any decorations that seem like they don’t fit with the rest of the space, or that are angled in peculiar ways.  While most of a camera can be hidden inside something else, the lens will almost always need to be completely visible for the camera to work. Check your suspicious decorations for glassy surfaces or visible lenses that might indicate a hidden camera. The most effective cameras will be positioned so that they can see as much of the room as possible. Look for...

Article in English: High-proof, unflavored liquor such as vodka is the ideal solvent to help break down persistent e-juice deposits.  Dampen a microfiber cloth or paper towel with the alcohol and rub the dirtied areas until the e-juice is removed. Wipe and rinse with warm water.  While isopropyl rubbing alcohol (90%) also works well, it can be toxic if you don’t rinse and dry the tank extremely well after cleaning.  Soap and other types of detergents are unnecessary when cleaning a vape tank and may leave behind unwanted residue. Ultrasonic jewelry cleaning machines are designed to remove residue from small, fragile items and are perfect for cleaning your vape tank.  There are also similar devices designed specifically for cleaning vape equipment. If you have access to one of these machines, fill it with warm distilled water, vodka, or rubbing alcohol and use it according to the included directions.  You can purchase these machines from many vaping stores or online. You may also be able to take your equipment to a vaping store and have them clean your device. Do not allow parts that have plastic, rubber, or vinyl components to sit in alcohol for too long. Usually, one cycle in a cleaning machine will be sufficient to clean your tank, etc. Be sure to fully rinse and dry your tank after cleaning. Overnight soaking in water or alcohol is not recommended, as it may degrade your equipment.  Similarly, boiling your tank may cause damage as well. While these methods may work with some pieces, they are unnecessarily risky.
