Article in English: Acid dyes offer the brightest and longest lasting color for your suit with no bleeding. The most common brand name of acid dye is Jacquard.  Check the label in your suit to make sure it is nylon or a nylon/spandex blend. If you are dyeing over another color, make sure to choose a dye that is much darker than the original. For example, if your suit is yellow, choose black or dark blue dye for the best results. The dye will not work on a dark colored suit. Soak the clean suit in warm water for an hour ahead of time. This loosens the fibers and allows the dye to be more effective. Have rags and paper towels on hand and consider covering the table or counters with a plastic tablecloth or old towels. Use rubber gloves and tongs to protect your hands. Make sure the suit can float free from the bottom of the pot, so all of the fabric is reached by the dye bath. Place the pot on the stovetop.  It is important to use an oversized pot to avoid hot water and dye bubbling over. Remove your suit from the pot once you've decided on the amount of water. You will want to add the dye into the pot and stir it in thoroughly before putting your swimsuit back in. Turn the stovetop on a medium heat as you stir the mixture. Allow 3 to 5 minutes for the powder to fully dissolve. Add your suit and stir it gently so all the fabric gets exposed to the dye. Spread the suit out as much as possible within the bath. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine how much dye to use for your swimsuit. Typically, you will use one package of powder dye for every 1 pound (450 g) of fabric or less. Increase the heat and watch until the mixture begins to boil gently. Stir frequently. After the first five minutes of the boil, stir the vinegar or citric acid into the mixture. Avoid pouring the acid directly onto your suit. Vinegar and citric acid are equally effective as fixatives. Citric acid is cheaper and doesn't smell, but most people already have vinegar on hand. The longer you keep your suit in the dye bath, the darker the color will...

Article in English: Acid washing jeans will remove a lot of the color. You should not acid wash a pair of jeans you are attached to. Select an old pair of jeans for the acid washing process. If you do not have an old pair of jeans, stop by a local thrift store. You can find a cheap pair of jeans there, which you can acid wash at home. Choose a bucket big enough to comfortably submerge your jeans. Make sure to use cold water. If you have to, run the water in your sink until it becomes cold. Make sure to measure the water.

Article in English: Acknowledging harsh truths about your self-image should not be the final step of your introspective journey. With careful contemplation, improvement is possible. First, try to determine why you have the self-image that you do. There may or may not be a single primary cause. You may not be able to explain it at all, no matter how hard you try. This is OK. In this case, simply try to acknowledge that you feel the way that you do about yourself for a reason. Once you realize that your self-image has a cause (even one that's hard to define), you can try to improve it. the things that are important to you in life. If you are like most people today, a self-image that's less-than perfect may be due to the fact that you place too much importance in things that don't actually have any value or benefit for you. Ideally, removing your attachment to these things will give you a happier life and a better self-image — if you're not constantly chasing these things, you'll remove many of your daily stresses and you'll be able to concentrate more on the most important things of all: yourself and the people close to you.  Things that are often highly prized today but which have little effect on your true happiness include money, material goods, social status, and so on. On the other hand, things that are often sacrificed in favor of relatively unimportant distractions include personal time, contemplation, personal projects, friends, and family. In fact, strong family ties have been scientifically proven to bring more happiness than a high income.  With this in mind, list that prioritizes the importance of the major things in one person's life might look like this:  Kids Spouse Relatives Job Friends Hobby Wealth Unfortunately, people sometimes betray something high on their list of personal priorities (such as a strong sense of ethics) in order to protect another lower down on the list (such as being able to drive a nice car.)

Article in English: Acknowledging that you have it your best is part of realizing that you are a good person who does well, but you often cannot control other people or outcomes. While a failed project isn't a person, it still feels very much a part of you, especially when you've put a lot of yourself into. It's normal to feel hurt, disappointed and down about the loss or failure. Give yourself time to process what has happened and to feel less bonded to it. Use some of the distraction suggestions from method 1 above. Facing the facts can help you learn from the experience for next time. Some reasons might include:  Were other people involved in its creation? If so, did they hamper it, take it over or claim it as their own? Whatever their involvement, realize that people play all sorts of games and sometimes aren't as supportive as they might seem. Was there insufficient time or too few resources at the heart of its failure? Did you feel competent enough or perhaps in need of more learning? Use the learning you've gained from your analysis from what has happened to avoid possible pitfalls next time. Most of all, learn how to steer clear of the very things that lead to breaking your heart where your work input is involved, so that you can be stronger and wiser each time ahead.

Article in English: Acknowledging your biases is a good thing; setting them aside is even better. Do not allow your preconceived ideas to get in the way of learning something new. Approach each encounter objectively (whether it’s an article you read or a person you speak to) and as if it is your very first experience with the subject at hand. Visit a dog shelter or a family who owns a German Shepherd and pretend you’ve never been around a dog before. Using safe practices, interact with the dog and see how it goes. This can be especially helpful when dealing with touchy subjects or those considered taboo. When considering a topic, think about why someone may feel a particular way. Try to think of 2 or 3 reasons why their opinion is valid, even if you disagree.  If you favor having no requirements for health insurance, don’t automatically discredit those who think it’s a good idea. Perhaps they have an experience where they were unable to receive proper care because they didn’t have coverage and couldn’t afford to pay out of pocket. Remember that often these types of opinions don’t form until someone actually experiences it for themselves—at one point they may have held the same opinion as you do. Don’t argue, sigh, or roll your eyes, and don’t make mean or condescending remarks. Instead, offer up positive, intelligent discourse. If it is a hot topic for you and you find it difficult to remain calm, remind yourself that it’s okay for everyone to have their own opinion and simply smile and nod. When someone says something you don’t agree with, try saying something like, “I see where you are coming from, but have you considered…” or “Wow, I hadn’t thought of that. Thanks for that perspective.” Don’t be afraid of changing your stance on a topic! It doesn’t mean that you are weak or fake, it simply means that you have gained either enough knowledge or experience to make a more informed decision. Changing your mind can even make you a better advocate, since you have held beliefs on both sides of an issue.

Article in English: Acknowledging your strengths, or attributes you value, in order to help give balance to the work you will do on accepting the parts of yourself that are less valued. Additionally, realizing your strengths may help change your conceptualizations about yourself. Start by listing your strengths, or list one strength per day if it is challenging to think of them. For example:  I am a loving person. I am a strong mother. I am a talented painter. I am a creative problem solver. Identify and acknowledge your strengths by making a list of your accomplishments. These might include people you have helped, your personal achievements, or troublesome times you have overcome. These types of examples can help place your focus on actions or deeds. More concrete examples will help you identify your strengths. For example:  My father’s death was hard on our family, but I am proud that I was able to help support my mother through the hardship. I made a goal to run a half-marathon, and after 6 months of training, I crossed the finish line! After losing my job, it was difficult to adjust and to pay the bills, but I learned a great deal about my own strength and I am in a better place now. Recognizing your own judgment is important in helping you identify areas where you are overly critical of yourself. Being overly critical is when you create areas or find attributes of yourself that you have unproductive feelings about. These might include shame or disappointment, and these feelings can squash self-acceptance. Start by writing a list of negative thoughts you might have about yourself. For example:  I’ll never be able to do anything right. I’m always taking others’ comments the wrong way; something must be wrong with me. I’m too fat. I’m horrible at making decisions. When other people make comments about us, we often internalize these comments and work them into our opinions about ourselves. If you can figure out the root of your self-judgements, you can start to rethink how you perceive yourself. For example, if your mother...

Article in English: Actual swords are extremely sharp and not meant for training because the risk of injury is too great. Throughout history, all sword-wielding cultures have trained and sparred with wooden swords. The two most popular kinds are the bokken (used in Eastern martial arts, and properly called a bokuto in Japan) and the waster (used in Western martial arts).  As a beginner, start off with a relatively inexpensive wooden sword made of bamboo or any other type of lightweight wood. Choose one with a well-crafted handle and guard to ensure that the sword fits securely in your hand. Because of its toughness and durability, a hickory-crafted sword is the preferred training tool for the serious swords collector. Also, hickory is a heavy wood, so swords made of it are closer to the weight of an actual sword.  Synthetic wooden swords made of heavy grade polypropylene are also great for serious training because of their extreme durability. These synthetic versions are not as stiff as their wooden counterparts. The weight of an actual sword can hinder your training by restricting range of motion. Test for a lighter, more ideal weight by holding the practice sword in your dominant hand for about ten minutes.  If you don’t feel any discomfort in your arm during that time period, the practice sword is light enough for your training purposes.  Move the sword around a bit and try a few practice thrusts. You should be able to manipulate the sword easily without straining any of your arm muscles. Make sure the practice sword features a blade that is dull (to prevent injury) and somewhat flexible. If you want to train in an aggressive fighting style or if you simply don’t want to wear a lot of training armor, a foam or padded sword is the perfect choice for you. These make great training tools because they allow you to engage aggressively while sparring, offering a more realistic combat experience.  Minimal armor is required, but keep in mind that foam swords can still be a little painful when used at full force. Minimal armor in this...

Article in English: Acupressure and acupuncture utilize various points along 12 basic meridians in the body. These meridians are energy pathways, which are believed to carry “qi” or “chi”, the Chinese terms for life energy. The basic concept is that illness is caused by a blockage in qi. The needles in acupuncture and the pressure in acupressure can unblock these energy pathways and restore the easy and unimpeded flow of qi. In TCM, weight loss can be encouraged by allowing excess “heat” and “moisture” to be expelled and by supporting the organs of digestion.  The terms “heat” and “moisture” don’t necessarily have literal meanings. In other words, applying pressure at these points won’t significantly change the temperature of the skin or cause any dampness on the skin. The terms should be understood to indicate imbalances of energy that are viewed as heat and moisture.  Some studies have indicated that acupressure on the ear points in particular can significantly help people achieve weight loss.  Another somewhat related technique, the Tapas Acupressure Technique, has shown some positive results for maintaining weight loss, though no significant results for weight loss. Unless the point is on the center of your body, make sure you apply pressure on both sides for the same amount of time. The amount of pressure is generally light to medium-- find a level of pressure you are comfortable with.  Never press hard.  Think of three levels of pressure — light pressure is the amount of pressure it would take for your finger to depress your skin slightly and moves the skin around the pressure point slightly. You won’t feel a pulse or bone —but will feel a muscle moving under the skin.  Medium pressure depresses the skin more — and in areas where the skin is thin (e.g. around the ear) you should feel some bone and will feel joints and muscle moving. You may also feel a pulse around (for example) around the knee, elbow or ankle points. You can apply acupressure anywhere: at work, at school, at home, or after (or during) a shower. Though it...

Article in English: Acupuncture involves sticking very thin needles into specific energy points within the skin / muscle in efforts to reduce pain and inflammation and to potentially stimulate healing. Acupuncture is not commonly recommended for pain control post surgery and should only be considered as a secondary option, but anecdotal reports suggest it can be helpful for many different types of musculoskeletal injuries. It's worth a try if your budget allows for it.  Based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture reduces pain and inflammation by releasing a variety of substances including endorphins and serotonin. Acupuncture is practiced by a variety of health professionals including some physicians, chiropractors, naturopaths, physical therapists and massage therapists — whoever you choose should be certified by NCCAOM. Knee replacement surgery involves cutting into the muscles surrounding the knee joint in order to clean it up and resurface the ends of the bones. As such, the muscles experience severe trauma, which leads to inflammation and spasm post surgery. A deep tissue massage is helpful starting a few weeks after surgery because it reduces muscle spasm, combats inflammation and promotes relaxation. Start with a 30 minute leg massage, focusing on your thigh and hamstring muscles. Allow the therapist to go as deep as you can tolerate without wincing. Always drink lots of water immediately following a massage in order to flush out inflammatory by-products and lactic acid from your body. Failure to do so might cause a headache or mild nausea. An interesting alternative option in managing musculoskeletal pain is vibrational therapy. Vibrating frequencies seem to relax and strengthen musculature while stimulate nerves to reduce pain. In terms of knee pain, you can vibrate primarily the knee area or the entire body — both have proven effective for reducing knee pain.  Full-body vibrating machines are difficult to find in rehabilitation facilities and likely too expensive to buy for home use, so...

Article in English: Acupuncture is a technique used in traditional Chinese medicine where a certified practitioner stimulates points on the body with needles. Studies have shown that acupuncture helps in reducing the frequency of migraines. It may also help with the severity of migraine pain. Talk to your doctor, or make an appointment to discuss migraine treatment with a certified acupuncturist. Migraines are often caused by stress. By reducing your stress levels, you can reduce the frequency or severity of your migraines. Try yoga, deep breathing techniques, or meditation. Stress-relieving activities are usually part of a larger migraine management system. When considering yoga for migraines, make sure to avoid classes with vigorous, extreme poses or excessive heat. These could worsen your migraines. Instead, try a yoga that focuses on breathing and meditation. Many find hatha yoga helpful. Taking supplements may have a positive effect on migraines. These natural remedies offer alternative ways to treat migraines. Always discuss these supplements or herbs with your doctor before taking them.  Magnesium may be helpful for migraines, since people who suffer from migraines often have low levels of magnesium.  Some studies show that increasing Vitamin D may help migraines. Vitamin B2, also called riboflavin, may help reduce the frequency of migraines.  CoQ10 and Melatonin may help, but you need to discuss these options with your doctor since they can interfere with medication. The herbs butterbur and feverfew may help with migraines.

Article in English: Acupuncture requires the use of special needles on certain parts of your body to release stress or tension in the area. Studies have shown that acupuncture can help to increase bladder control and reduce your frequency of urination. Always see a certified, reputable acupuncturist to ensure the treatment is safe and effective. You can also speak to your doctor about the use of acupuncture for your bladder issues. Your doctor may be able to recommend an acupuncturist that you can see for treatment. Work with a physical therapist to strengthen your pelvic floor, which will help treat an overactive bladder. Ask your doctor to recommend a physical therapist with expertise in pelvic floor therapy. Additional benefits of this type of therapy may include reduced pelvic pain. Kegel exercises require you to flex the muscles that you use to stop yourself from urinating. Doing Kegel exercises can help to strengthen your pelvic floor and maintain more control over your bladder. You can do Kegel exercises at home once a day to try to address your bladder issues. You can ask your doctor or a physical therapist to show you how to do Kegel exercises. Squeezing and releasing your pelvic floor muscles once a day for 6 to 12 weeks can lead to improvements over your bladder control. There are several yoga poses that can help to strengthen your pelvic floor. You may try doing a series of these poses to address your bladder issue on your own at home or in a yoga class under the guidance of an instructor.  You may try doing Mula Bandha, where you tighten the muscles that control your urethral sphincter in time with your breathing. You can also do poses like the Fish, the Pike, or the Crow to increase your pelvic strength.

Article in English: Add 1 cup (237 ml) of vegetable oil to a large pan. Turn the burner up to medium, and allow the oil to heat for 7 to 8 minutes.  You can also cook the papad in the microwave. Place them on a microwave-safe plate lined with paper towel, and heat them on high for 25 seconds to a minute, or until they puff up. You can also hold the papad over the open flame on a gas stove with a pair of tongs to roast them. Move it around constantly to ensure that it cooks evenly, which should only take 5 to 10 seconds. Turn the papad over and roast the other side in the same way. Place the papad in the oil one or two at a time. They will deepen in color quickly, so watch them closely. When the papad has deepened in color, use a pair of tongs to flip them over. Allow them to cook for another 15 to 30 seconds, and remove them from the oil before they gets too dark. Place the fried papad on the plate to absorb any excess grease. Serve them right away to ensure that they stay crunchy.

Article in English: Add 1 ounce (28 g) of beeswax and ½ cup (118 ml) of olive oil to a small sauce pan. There’s no need to stir the ingredients because they won’t combine until the beeswax begins to melt.  It’s usually easier to use beeswax pellets instead of a block. They’re easier to measure and usually melt more quickly. Be sure to choose yellow beeswax pellets rather than white pellets. White pellets have undergone a refining process so many of their natural properties have been stripped away. Place the saucepan on the stove and turn the heat to low. Allow the mixture to heat until the beeswax melts completely, which should take approximately 5 to 10 minutes. As the beeswax starts to melt, stir the mixture occasionally to ensure that the ingredients combine fully. Once the beeswax has melted and combined with the olive oil, remove the pan from the heat. Carefully pour it into a glass jar or container, and allow it to cool for a couple of hours. That will allow the mixture to solidify slightly so it has the same texture as Vaseline. Choose a container for the mixture that has a lid so dust, dirt, and other debris don’t wind up in your "Vaseline."

Article in English: Add 1/8 tbsp (600 mg) baking soda to an 8 oz. (0.237 liters) glass of water. Baking soda has a high alkaline content. When the baking soda mixes with the water, it increases the alkaline properties of the water. Shake (if you are using a water bottle) or stir (if using a glass) the mixture vigorously to make sure the baking soda mixes in thoroughly with the water.  If you are on a low sodium diet, do not add baking soda to your water. Baking soda is high in sodium. Lemons are anionic, so when you drink lemon water, your body reacts with the anionic properties of the lemon making the water alkaline as your body digests it.  Fill one pitcher (64 oz.) with clean water. Filtered water is the best way to go, but if you don’t have a filter, tap water is okay to use. Cut up one lemon into eighths. Add the lemons to the water but do not squeeze them--simply place them in the water. Cover the water and let it sit overnight for 8 to 12 hours at room temperature. You can add one tablespoon of pink Himalayan sea salt to your lemon water if desired. Adding the salt mineralizes your alkaline water. pH drops contain potent alkaline minerals and are highly concentrated. You can purchase pH drops at health food stores or online. Follow the directions on your specific pH bottle to determine how many drops you should put into your water. Keep in mind that while pH drops increase the alkalinity of your water, they do not filter out any of the things like chlorine or fluoride that can be found in your tap water.

Place the pot on the stove, and heat it over medium heat until the oil begins to shimmer, which should take 5 to 7 minutes. When the oil is hot, add 1 minced shallot, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 4 sprigs of fresh thyme. Allow them to saute over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes aromatic.  You can substitute an onion for the shallot if you prefer. If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can add more cloves. You can substitute your favorite fresh herb, such as tarragon or cilantro, for the thyme. Once the shallot mixture has sauted for several minutes, add the mussels to the pot. Use a wooden spoon to toss them in the mixture so they’re well coated.

Pour the vodka and water in first to make mixing the spray easier.  To preserve the essential oils in the spray, use a dark colored spray bottle to protect them from the light. Use the highest proof vodka possible. Once you’ve added all of the ingredients to the spray bottle, carefully shake it to ensure that they’re fully combined. For the best results, shake the spray for approximately 10 seconds. The ingredients may separate as the deodorant sits out, so shake the spray before each use. To use the deodorant spray, lift your arms and spray each underarm area 2 to 3 times. Allow the deodorant to air dry before getting dressed.  The spray may sting if you apply right after you’ve shaved your underarms. You can reapply the spray throughout the day if necessary, such as after a workout.

Article in English: Add 2.5 cups (590 ml) water to a medium-sized cooking pot with a lid on the stovetop.  In order for the rice to cook properly, make sure you the lid has a tight seal so heat and steam aren't released.  Always make sure your pot isn't too small because rice will triple in volume once cooked. As with pasta, salt is used to bring out the natural flavor in rice so it won't taste bland. It's not used to make it taste salty.  Season the brown rice with other flavors if you want to go beyond just salt. Pour 2 cups (470 ml) rinsed and pre-soaked brown basmati rice to the pot and use a spoon to mix the rice with the water. This is the only time you'll stir the rice until it's done. Stirring it while it's cooking activates the starch and makes it either sticky or creamy. Turn the burner to high. Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 15-40 minutes until all the water is absorbed.  The time difference is largely based upon how long you soaked the rice. If you soaked it for 30 minutes, your cook time will be closer to 40 minutes. If you soaked it overnight, your cook time will be closer to 15 minutes. It's very important to turn down the heat and to simmer once the water boils. Rice that's cooked too fast on a high heat will be hard because the water will evaporate. The kernels will also break. Quickly remove the lid and use a fork to scoop out some of the rice. Immediately replace the lid. If the rice is tender and the water has fully absorbed, it's ready. If not, continue cooking another 2-4 minutes. You may need to add more water if it's not tender but the water has fully absorbed. Start slowly by adding just a 1⁄4 cup (60 ml) of water. When done, take the pot from the burner and remove the lid. Place a folded kitchen towel over the pot, and promptly replace the lid. The towel will help to steam the rice, making it fluffier. It also absorbs extra moisture that would otherwise fall back onto the rice. Don’t lift the lid while you let the rice rest or you'll lose the steam necessary...

Article in English: Add 3 tablespoons (43 g) of unsalted butter to a large Dutch oven or pot. Turn the heat to medium, and allow the butter to melt completely, which should take approximately 3 to 5 minutes. If you prefer, you can substitute olive oil or vegetable oil for the butter. Once the butter has fully melted, add 4 large andouille sausage links that have been sliced into ¾-inch (1.9-cm) ovals to the pot. Allow the sausage to cook until color and a light crust develops on all sides of the meat, which should take approximately 5 minutes. Be sure to stir the sausage constantly as it heats it to ensure that it cooks evenly. When you’ve finished cooking the sausage, use a slotted spoon to remove it from the pot. Place it on paper towel-lined plate to absorb the excess grease, and set it aside. There is no need to wash or clean the pot after removing the sausage. You want the remaining butter and grease in it to flavor the gumbo as you move onto the other steps.

Article in English: Add 6 to 8 dried, whole New Mexico chiles to a large, straight-sided skillet. Heat the chiles over medium-low to gently toast them until they become fragrant. It should take approximately 2 to 3 minutes on each side of the chiles.  You can substitute guajillo or pasilla chiles for the New Mexico. You can also use any combination of the three. Make sure not to let the chiles burn or they will become bitter. After the chiles are toasted, transfer them to a bowl. Cover them with very hot water, and allow the chiles to soak for 15 to 45 minutes or until they are soft. The water that you soak the chiles in doesn’t have to be boiling. Use the water from your tap’s hottest setting to soak them. Once the chiles are soft, remove them from the water. Use a sharp knife to cut off the stems and split the chiles open to take out the seeds.  Handling hot chiles can irritate your skin and eyes. It’s a good idea to wear rubber gloves when cutting the chiles open. Running the chiles under water can help rinse out the seeds. Be careful not to rinse away any of the flesh, though. After you’ve removed the stems and seeds, add the chiles to a blender with 1 ½ teaspoons (3 g) of ground cumin, ½ teaspoon (1 g) of freshly ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon (18 g) of kosher salt, and ¼ cup (59 ml) of water. Puree the mixture until it forms a smooth, slightly liquid-y paste. Set the paste aside.  If the mixture is too thick, you can gradually mix more water into the paste. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender’s pitcher with a spatula to ensure that all of the ingredients are fully blended. Heat 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of vegetable oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of 2 ½ pounds (1.1 kg) of boneless beef chuck that’s been trimmed and cut into ¾-inch (19-mm) cubes, and lightly brown the meat on at least two sides, which should take about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked meat to a bowl, and repeat the process with another 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of the oil and the rest of the meat. Transfer the cooked...

Article in English: Add Epsom salts or a mild soap to the water; this will clean the area. Soaking your toe will relieve pain and reduce redness. It will also soften the nail and skin around the ingrown toenail. Make sure the area is thoroughly dry before proceeding to the next step. Roll it until it forms a wick or a small roll. Then, push the skin growing over your nail down and away from your nail. Place the small cotton roll in between your skin and nail. This will keep your nail elevated, preventing it from growing further into your skin.  Hold the roll in place by wrapping your toenail in medical gauze. This part may be painful but it is necessary. You may take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or Tylenol to manage your pain. You can apply a topical antibiotic such as Neosporin to further prevent an infection. Each time your soak your foot, you will need to change out the cotton roll. Each day, try to wedge the roll a little farther in. Repeat this process until your toenail has grown past the end of your toe. It may take one to two weeks for your nail to grow out.  If you do not see any improvements or if an infection develops, you may need to contact your doctor. You may need to wear sandals until your toe clears up.

Article in English: Add a baby bird formula or Pronutro to the water before mixing it into the food. Canned puppy or cat food has a higher protein content and are closer to the natural diet than adult dog food. Mash the food into a shallow bowl. If the bird is not old enough to feed itself, break off small pieces, about half the size of your little fingernail, and tweezer feed it by hand. Sparrow natural diet includes dry foods such as buds and seeds, and live food such as spiders, snails, aphids, caterpillars, and other small invertebrates. Young birds tend to take live food better than dry food.  Please note, do not give earthworms to captive baby sparrows. There is something toxic about earthworms that makes captive birds die. Instead, trying offering the smallest sized crickets (available from reptile supply shops). Another option is to offer clean white maggots, as sold by angling shops. Again, the maggot should only be fed when its gut is empty. The black line in a maggot his food in his gut, so wait until this black line disappears before feeding to the baby bird. You could also consider feeding dried insects, as sold for reptiles such as bearded dragons. Check your local pet store for supplies. If the sparrow is a nestling and not a fledgling, refrain from feeding it any insects and stick to the cat food diet. Insects such as flies can lead to fatal constipation in a young nestling. You can use supplements such as Nutrobal (sold for reptiles) or Cricket Diet Calcium Paste (IZUG), which are sold at pet stores. This helps ensure balanced nutrition if the live food are deficient. Depending on the sparrow's age, either offer the food on tweezers directly into the gaping beak, or if the bird is old enough to feed himself, put the feed in a shallow container. Be aware it takes around 2 weeks for a baby bird to develop enough to feed himself. If the bird is very young and does not have many feathers, feed every half hour. If older feed every hour or two. The bird will start chirping and gaping when hungry and will stop eating...

Article in English: Add between a half-cup and a full cup (125 to 250 grams) of washing soda to your washing along with your regular detergent. Use a full cup for heavily soiled loads or if you have hard water. The grease fighting nature of washing soda will boost your regular detergent's ability to clean and remove dirt and grime. Combine one-quarter cup (62.5 grams) each of washing soda and borax in a lidded plastic or glass jar. Add in one-half cup of baking soda (125 grams) and one-half cup (73 grams) of laundry flakes. Stir to combine.  Use about one-half cup (125 grams) of homemade detergent per load. If you can't find laundry or soap flakes, purchase a bar of pure soap (like glycerine or Castile soap) and grate it. You can make your own dishwasher detergent by combining two cups (500 grams) each of washing soda and borax in a glass or plastic container with a lid. Replace the lid and shake to mix. Use about two tablespoons (30 grams) per dishwasher load. Don't use this detergent on aluminum, as the high alkalinity can damage the metal. Combine one-half teaspoon of washing soda (2.5 grams), two teaspoons of borax (10 grams), and one-half teaspoon (2.5 ml) of liquid soap in a spray bottle. Add in two cups of warm water and agitate to mix. Use this to clean floors, bathrooms, toilets and showers, kitchens, or anywhere else that's dirty or grimy. Once a week, pour one-quarter cup (62.5 grams) of washing soda down the drain. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes and flush with hot water. Sprinkle washing soda over spills and stains and sprinkle water over top to form a paste. Let it sit overnight and scrub it with a brush in the morning. Rinse with clean water.

Article in English: Add the fish sauce directly to the sautéed onions, garlic, and ginger and stir thoroughly. Let the mixture sit until the fish sauce just begins to bubble—this should only take 1-2 minutes.  For this recipe, it will be best to use a traditional Filipino patis, or a Vietnamese style fish sauce like nuoc mam.  It’s important to lower the cooking temperature before adding the fish sauce. Intense heat may cause sauces with added sugar to burn, which could affect the finished flavor of the dish. The cream will initially come out in one thick clump, but will begin to thin as it warms up. Stir the aromatics, fish sauce, and coconut cream together vigorously until they’re completely incorporated. As you did before, wait for the liquid components to come to a bubble before moving on.  Use your spoon to scrape the remnants out of the jar or can. You don’t want to waste any of that creamy goodness! You can also use raw, unsweetened coconut milk in place of the heavier coconut cream. However, this may cause the finished dish to take on a slightly soupier consistency. Be sure to sample the base before salting it too heavily. The fish sauce will lend the dish most of its saltiness, so it may not need much. After you’ve gotten the seasoning just right, turn the cooktop down to low-medium heat to bring the base to a low simmer.  Feel free to add any other spices or seasonings of choice at this point, such as fresh ground turmeric to impart earthy undertones or chili flakes to kick the heat up another notch.  The heat should be low enough for the base to just bubble around the edges. This will give the individual flavors a chance to mingle, resulting in a more complex and balanced dish. It will also help work out any remaining lumps in the rich coconut cream. Be sure to stir the base periodically to prevent it from congealing around the edges. Keep an eye on the pan to make sure it doesn’t get too hot. Coconut cream is prone to scorching.

Article in English: Add the fur stole to a simple, casual outfit for a stylish flare. Pair it with denim jacket or a denim collared shirt and jeans or black pants. Wear sneakers or flats to finish off the casual look. To stay warm and stylish, wrap the fur stole around the collar of a long or short wool coat. Pick a wool coat in a classic color like camel, black, or gray, especially if you have a brightly colored or patterned stole. Or opt for a coat with a pattern like herringbone or plaid if you have a solid colored fur stole. You can then wear a sweater and jeans or pants under the stole and coat. Finish the look with high heels or boots. Jazz up a simple dress in a neutral color like black, white, gray, or brown with the fur stole. Try a dress with sleeves or a longer hemline so your outfit looks classy and put together. Wear tights or bare legs and heels or high-heeled boots for a great night-out look. Wear the fur to a business meeting or a day out with a client by draping it over one shoulder and securing it over a suit with a thin belt. This can add texture and interest to a simple work outfit. Use a thin belt in a color that complements the color of the fur stole so your outfit looks put together. For example, you may wear a black thin belt with a brown fur stole and a gray suit or a brown belt with a black fur stole and a black suit. Go for a subtle but flurry look by wearing a clutch made of fur or shoes with fur details to complement the fur stole. Wear a hat made of fur, or details like a fur lining or a fur pom pom, to match your fur stole. Make sure all your fur accessories are the same in terms of color and texture so they do not clash. For example, you may wear a black fur clutch with a black fur stole or shoes with red fur details with a red fur stole. Wear jewellery, sunglasses, and hair clips or headbands that are simple and small so the fur stole can be the statement piece in your look. Pair a simple necklace with the fur stole. Wear simple stud earrings or a simple pair of dark sunglasses with the fur stole...

Article in English: Add the matcha to a mug capable of holding at least 8 oz (250 ml), passing the powder through a small sifter as you do.  Matcha powder typically clumps up during storage, but sifting the powder into your cup should break up these clumps and make the green tea easier to dissolve. Short, wide cups work better than tall, skinny cups. You'll need to manipulate the ingredients inside the cup using whisks and other tools, and fitting these tools into the cup will be easier when the cup has a wide mouth. Fill a tea kettle with a small amount of water, then bring it to a near boil on the stove. Remove it from the heat and measure out 1/4 cup (60 ml).  The water should be ready immediately before the kettle whistles. If the tea kettle reaches a whistle, pour out the necessary 1/4 cup (60 ml) and let it rest for at least 60 seconds before continuing to the next step. Simmer the water in a saucepan if you do not have a tea kettle. Do not use boiling water for the next step. Matcha is somewhat delicate, and boiling water can actually have a negative effect on the taste and nutritional quality of the tea. Pour the hot water into the green tea powder. Use a bamboo whisk to combine the two ingredients until smooth, forming a paste-like green tea base for your latte.  There should be no lumps remaining when you finish whisking these two ingredients together. While bamboo whisks are the most conventional tool to use when preparing matcha drinks, you could also use a standard metal whisk if necessary. Similarly, a handheld frother would also combine the water and green tea powder effectively. Pour the milk into a small saucepan and add sugar or honey, if desired. Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat and warm it until bubbles start to form around the edges.  Like the water, you should not allow the milk to reach a full boil. The milk should only reach a mild simmer. If you're checking with a thermometer, the ideal temperature is about 150 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Celsius). You can use nearly any type of milk...

Article in English: Add the water to a tea kettle and heat it on the stove over medium to medium-high heat until it reaches a boil.  Many tea kettles will whistle when done, but some do not, so you may need to be vigilant. You could also use a small saucepan or electric hot pot to boil the water. Note that you can boil water in the microwave, but you should boil the water in short 1 to 2 minute intervals to avoid superheating it. You should also make sure that a wooden chopstick or other microwave-safe object is placed in the water as you heat it.

Article in English: Add washing your feet to your daily routine. Daily washing prevents foot odor and infection. Adjust the water temperature to your comfort and step into the shower.  Get your washcloth/loofah wet in the water and wring it out so it’s moist, but not soaked. Use a bar of soap or pour some body wash onto the moistened washcloth/loofah. Rub together until bubbles start to form. Use a towel, loofah, or sponge to scrub the dirt away. If you have built-up dirt, you will need to scrub a little harder and use more soap.  With your washcloth/loofah, gently scrub each foot focusing your attention on the arch of your foot, in between toes, and under toenails. Rinse the towel, loofah, or sponge between cleaning each foot. Add more soap if necessary. Remove any soapy bubbles or residue by thoroughly rinsing your feet. Turn the water off and step out of the shower. Excess moisture on your feet and between your toes can promote growth of bacteria and fungi . To prevent infection, it is important to keep your feet as dry as possible. Drying after washing will also prevent the build-up of new dirt on your feet.  Remove your feet from the tub and pat dry (don't rub) them with a clean towel. This is especially important if you have a medical condition like diabetes.  Be sure to dry between your toes because that is a common place for fungal and bacterial growth.   If you are diabetic, apply skin moisturizer to feet to prevent calluses and cracks, but avoid applying between the toes. While washing your feet, you might have noticed your toenails were getting too long. Properly trimmed nails prevent over-grown toenails and the build-up of dirt underneath the nail.  Be sure to use toenail clippers, not scissors. Trim the nail straight across so it is just over the toe. Cutting nails too short can lead to the development of ingrown toenails.    File down any pointed edges with an emery board.

Article in English: Add ½ cup (118 ml) of warm water to a large bowl, and sprinkle 1 packet (¼ ounce/7 g) of active dry yeast over it. Stir the two together to just combine them. It’s important to proof the yeast to ensure that it’s alive and active. Allow the water and yeast mixture to sit, and then check it for bubbles. If there are bubbles, the yeast is ready to go. After you’ve proofed the yeast, add ½ cup warm (118 ml) of evaporated milk, ⅓ cup (67 g) of sugar, ⅓ cup (76 g) of butter that’s been melted, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon (6 g) of salt to the bowl. Stir well to ensure that all of the ingredients are fully combined. Once all of the wet ingredients are combined, mix in 2 cups (250 g) of flour into the bowl until it is incorporated. Add another 2 cups (250 g) of flour and ½ teaspoon (1 g) of ground cinnamon, and stir until the ingredients are blended and a soft dough forms.  The easiest way to melt butter is in the microwave. Place it in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it on high in 10 second intervals, stirring after each until it's completely melted. You can also melt the butter in a pan on the stove. Heat it over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until it's completely melted.

Article in English: Adding a new member to any family causes change. Before you came along, your older brother probably got more attention than he gets now from your parents.  Whether or not you think it’s fair, your older brother is competing with you. For example, maybe he was the one in the family who was good at soccer; maybe he was very proud of this. If you start playing soccer and do well, your brother may resent your success and feel like his own identity is being threatened.   Your brother might feel jealous of you, because he may feel that you’re the favorite of your parents.   Simply understanding these things about your brother will allow you to take a walk in his shoes and be able to talk to him more easily. Maybe your older brother bothers you so much that you want to pull your hair out. Maybe he’s a good older brother overall, but does a couple of annoying things here and there.If your brother’s only occasionally annoying, there’s no shame in letting those minor annoyances slide.  Sometimes it’s best to let the small things go. Realize that arguing over the small things can be even more exhausting than what’s actually annoying you in the first place.   Think about all the things you can expend energy on that you enjoy. Your brother is likely annoying you either because he wants attention from you, or he wants you to stop getting attention from your parents or others.  To redirect your older brother’s energy, try to focus positive attention towards him by showing interest in the things he likes to do. This tactic may backfire if your brother thinks you’re trying to “steal his thunder” by sharing in his interests. But, for example, if both you and your brother like the same video game, you may have fun playing that game together. If you and your brother don’t have much in common, trying something new together may bring you guys closer. Think about something you want to try but haven’t yet tried with anybody. Maybe trying such an activity with your brother will make it “your thing”. You may think your friend's older...

Article in English: Adding powdered peanut butter to a smoothie or shake will add a peanut flavor while also adding essential protein to your shakes. To use the powder, add 1 tbsp (6.14 grams) of powdered peanut butter for every cup (250 milliliters) of smoothie or shake that you have. Make sure to blend it together so that the powder is no longer gritty and enjoy a low-fat but protein-rich drink. Powdered peanut butter tastes great in banana smoothies. Powdered peanut butter will break down in yogurt more easily than the creamy variation and will alter the texture of your yogurt less. Add a tablespoon (6.14 grams) of powdered peanut butter to a half cup (122.5 grams) of yogurt. Mix it together until the yogurt is smooth and eat it. Experiment with different amounts of powdered peanut butter and add an amount that suits your tastes. Adding peanut powder to your granola adds more of a nutty and sweet taste to it. Simply sprinkle a pinch of peanut butter powder over your granola and stir it in. Add more or less depending on your preferences. Avoid adding it to chocolate granola because it may muddle the flavors and create a bad taste. You can replace up to 1/3 of your pancake or waffle mix with powdered peanut butter. Not only will the powder add a peanut taste to your breakfast, but it'll also pack protein in your waffles or pancakes as well. Mix your pancake mix as you normally would, but replace 1/3 of the total amount of mix with powdered peanut butter instead.

Article in English: Adding some specific details can verify and add meaning to your boasting. Instead of simply stating that your girlfriend has a great quality, try to add context by explaining why. For example, instead of just saying, “Lindsay is really good at her job,” try adding details like, “Lindsay just had a performance review at work. Her supervisor went on and on about how much the company relies on her, and said that she’s a rising star in her industry.” Spend some time reflecting on why you’re proud of your girlfriend, what makes her special, and why you’re grateful for her. Try keeping a mental or written list of those attributes. Whenever she does something noteworthy, add it to your list. In addition to listing her personal qualities and achievements, you could note things like the connection you share, the trust you have in each other, and how you make each other better people. Every now and then, think of something lovey-dovey to express how head over heels you are. Cute catch phrases and mushiness in moderation can be sweet, but try not to go overboard when bragging to your friends about your relationship. Once in a while, you could say things like, “I never imagined someone could add so much meaning to my life,” or “She makes me wish my life had a pause button so I could make every moment I spend with her last forever.”

Article in English: Adding too much air now will make it harder to reinstall. Adding too little will make it more likely to get pinched (and eventually punctured) by the outer tire when you reinstall it. If you’re replacing the old tube due to a puncture, check the inside of the outer tire for sharp objects and holes larger than 0.25 in (0.64 cm), which will mean you need to replace the whole tire. Use a flashlight for a visual inspection, and/or run a thick cloth around the entire inside. Carefully remove anything you find. Do this before you move on to installing the new tube, or you may just end up with another flat tire! Start at the valve stem and feed it through the hole in the rim. If the valve stem has a lock ring, tighten it by hand to secure the stem in place. Then, methodically push the new tube into the gap all the away around the wheel. Take your time to make sure the tube is not twisted or sticking out anywhere. Once the new tube is in place, use your hands to push one section of the tire at a time back into the channel on the inside of the wheel rim. Tug on the tire with one hand while pushing with the other if necessary. You may also use a set of plastic tire levers for this part if you are unable to do it by hand. However, be careful not to puncture the tube with the levers. Look on the outer tire for the recommended pressure in psi (pounds per square inch), bars, or kilopascals. Use a pressure gauge to check your work. An improperly inflated tire is more likely to puncture.

Article in English: Additionally, you should floss after eating a meal or snack that can easily get caught in your teeth such as popcorn or corn on the cob.   Even if you brush regularly, it is imperative to floss as well. Flossing will remove food particles from between your teeth and under the gums. These are areas where a toothbrush cannot reach. If you do not floss, food particles and sugars caught between your teeth will attract bacteria and promote plaque buildup and can cause cavities. You want a long string so you can wrap the dirty part of it around your finger as you clean between your teeth.   Wind most of the floss around one of your middle fingers. Wind the tail of the other end around the middle finger of your opposite hand. This finger will be where you wrap used and dirty dental floss as you go through your mouth. Never snap a piece of dental floss against the gum line.  Hold the floss firmly between your thumb and forefinger. Rub the dental floss back and forth as you slide it between your teeth. Pause when you get to the gum line. Hold it against one tooth.   Gently slide the floss into the space between the gum and tooth. Hold the floss tightly against the tooth. Gently rub the floss along the side of the tooth away from the gums using up and down motions. Repeat this method on the rest of your teeth. Don't forget space behind your last tooth in the back of your mouth. These methods can help to remove plaque and food between your teeth without the difficulty of measuring out a piece of floss and maneuvering it between your teeth.  A water pick helps to remove plaque and food from between your teeth and gums by using a stream of water to clean these areas. Floss picks are small plastic devices with a tiny bit of floss attached. You can use these to floss your teeth in much the same way as you would using string floss. If you are having trouble flossing, talk to your dentist about what options are available. You may just need to try a different type of floss (unwaxed vs. waxed etc.).

Article in English: Adequate folic acid intake prevents neural tube defects (NTDs), which affect the spinal cord and brain. The neural tube is the part of the embryo from which the brain and spinal cord develop. Because NTDs happen within the first month of pregnancy, it is important to ensure that you are getting enough folic acid every day, even before you even know you’re pregnant.  Folic acid intake can also prevent other birth defects involving the heart, upper lip, and palate. It can also reduce a mother's risk for preeclampsia, a serious blood pressure disease that can threaten the life of the mother and baby.  Neural tube deficiencies adversely affect 3,000 pregnancies per year. The two most common neural tube defects are spina bifida, where the fetal spinal column does not close completely, and anencephaly, which results in incomplete development of the fetus’ head, skull, and scalp.  Taking folic acid can help reduce a baby’s risk of NTDs by up to 70%. Prenatal vitamins contain 600 micrograms of folic acid, and are a key source for the nutrients needed to prevent serious birth defects. If you’re trying to have a baby, go ahead and start taking a prenatal multivitamin so you’re getting all of the vitamins and minerals that you need to promote your baby’s healthy development. Prenatal vitamins contain more folic acid than standard adult multivitamins. If you have had a pregnancy affected by a NTD in the past, are obese, or have diabetes, you may need extra folic acid during pregnancy. If you’re trying to have a baby, talk about your folic acid needs with your doctor. They may run tests and recommend that you take a higher dose of folic acid.  Women who are overweight appear to be more likely to have babies with neural tube defects. With no intervention, women who have previously had an NTD-affected pregnancy have a three to five percent chance of another NTD-complicated pregnancy. If you've previously been pregnant with a baby with a neural tube defect, you'll probably be advised to take 4,000 mcg of folic acid a day.

Article in English: Adjust the length based on your audience and the script. Aiming for two pages keeps things simple and focused, while five pages is a maximum to stay under. Keeping it short makes it more likely that someone will read the whole treatment.  Some people write treatments that are 30-40 pages long, but the chances of it being read increases if you keep it under five pages. A possible page breakdown is one page for basic information like the title, logline, characters and plot summary, one page or less for each of three acts, and an extra page to spare. As you describe your script, use details and good description, but keep it brief. Read the sentences aloud to see if they are easy to read. If you have to take a breath partway through the sentences, it’s too long.  Aim for sentences that are 15-18 words long, or less. This is a guide, because at times it may be necessary to write longer sentences. For example, “Gene strolls down the sidewalk, and he stops to gaze at a trinket in a store window.” This sentence shows action but is short and streamlined. Trim your paragraphs down to three to five sentences. Always avoid writing large blocks of text because your reader will lose interest. Vary the number of sentences depending on what part of the plot you are describing. If your sentences are only eight words long, put more like 8-10 sentences in the paragraph. You don’t really want a paragraph that’s barely two lines long. Do not try to make your script treatment fancy-looking or more appealing to the eye. Using white paper and black ink is functional because it is the easiest to read. Your treatment is not the place for festive color schemes. Stick with basic 8½in X 11in (216mm x 279mm) letter size paper. Do not use cardstock, legal size, or other varieties of paper. It’s important that your script is physically easy to read, and these are the most basic fonts. You may feel like your content would look more appealing in something stylistic, but you’ll only make it harder to read. If you feel strongly about using a...

Article in English: Admit when you have made mistakes and accept the punishment that you have received for doing so. Don't whine about how unfair things are for you. Taking responsibility for the things that you do are part of growing up. Don't talk back to them or make comments under your breath. Above all, don't start yelling and name-calling. Demonstrate how you can be calm and respectful. Your parents want to see a good attitude from you. It can be hard to do this when you're grounded, but you will find that there will be times throughout your life when you need to control your temper and be respectful, even when you don't feel like it. Use this as a chance to prove your maturity to your parents. Your parents might tell you to do extra chores along with your regular chores. Do these without grumbling or whining about them. Tell your parents when you have finished a chore so they can check your work. If you see something that needs to be done, do these without being told to do them. If you see fingerprints on the front window, then get some glass cleaner and a paper towel, and go to work cleaning the window. Some chores can be a good way to get out of the house for a few minutes. Offering to walk the dog or taking your little sister to the park might give you a chance to get some fresh air and a change of scenery. Ask to have a calm, sit-down conversation with your parents so that you can talk about why you were grounded. Make sure you are not just focusing on your opinions. The key here is that both sides listen to each other. Don't get defensive or start name-calling or yelling. Remain calm and respectful. The goal here is to demonstrate that you understand their perspective and reasoning for grounding you.

Article in English: Adults often assume their lives should be serious, filled with work and family commitments. However, playtime is just as important when you're older as it is when you're a kid. Adults play to learn and expand their horizons, to feel challenged, to have fun, and to get lost in a pleasurable activity. You can't expect fun to find you. You must actively incorporate fun activities that you enjoy into your daily and/or weekly schedule. Examples for incorporating more play into your life might be picking up a new artistic hobby, spending more time with kids, or starting a regular game or movie night for you and some friends. You can learn to have fun in most any activity by looking for the silver linings. Even grueling tasks offer you something worthwhile; you just have to look for the positives and embrace them.  Practice finding silver linings each day with the following activity. Set aside 10 minutes daily for 3 weeks. Start by listing 5 things you enjoy about your life (e.g. "watching the sun rise each morning" or "hearing your significant other laugh"). Now, think about a time when things didn't go so well. Describe the situation. Then, look for three ways you can look on the bright side of the ordeal. For example, your car breaks down on your way to work. You're frustrated and impatient waiting for the mechanic. But, the wait time gives you the opportunity to read over the poetry your best friend asked you to read over. You also have a few minutes to call and check in on your mother. Finally, the waiting allows you to collect your thoughts before heading into a new work day. Noticing the silver linings helps you to see that there are often positives during negative situations. You may not be having fun in life because you don't take advantage of the little wonders and successes. Have you reached an accomplishment lately? Celebrate it. Has your friend just gotten a new job or dropped those unwanted pounds? Celebrate it. Search for ways to rejoice in the little victories of life. Get a calendar that lists weird...

Article in English: African daisies thrive in full sun exposure. The spot you choose shouldn’t experience any prolonged periods of shade (no more than an hour or so) during daylight hours. If your soil isn’t draining quickly enough, there may be too much clay in it. Try breaking down the clay by mixing in a combination of natural compost, dead leaves, wood chips, tree bark, and about 15% horticultural sand. Dig down about a foot deep (0.3 m) and rake about six inches (15.24 cm) worth of the mixture into your soil. You can buy the materials necessary for soil improvement online or at a local nursery. African daisies close up their blooms at night. If you have a patio that you mostly just use in the evenings, you may want to plant your daisies elsewhere. Go for a spot that allows you to bask in the plants’ bright colors during the daylight hours. Once you’ve picked your spot, smooth out the soil. Get rid of all the weeds, rocks, and clumps of dirt with a rake or hoe. You can then pat the soil back down to make it even.

Article in English: After a few days, you should notice liquid is accumulating at the bottom of the container. This is the rice wine. The wine is ready to drink as soon as it forms, so you can try the wine as soon as you see it accumulating.  If you like the taste, pour out the liquid from the container and keep the rice mixture inside. You can use the small amount of wine you made in recipes, or simply drink it by itself. The taste of the wine changes the longer it ferments. When the wine first appears at the bottom of the container, it will taste fruity and slightly zingy. As you let the wine ferment, it becomes less effervescent and more sweet and smooth. Store the rice in a warm and dry place for around a month. You don’t need to keep it in the oven or in the heating pad past a few days, as long as the weather is warm or you store it in a relatively warm place in your house. You will notice that the longer you ferment your wine, the clearer and less cloudy it will become. After a month, the fermentation process will be complete. Use a piece of cheesecloth or a very fine strainer to strain the wine, and collect the liquid in a jar or container. This will get rid of any excess rice grains or hulls still in your fermentation container.  You can drink or use your rice wine as soon as you wish, so if you want to enjoy it as soon as you strain it, you can do so! After you have poured the rice wine into a container, seal the top and place it in the refrigerator. Although you can drink rice wine at room temperature, always store it in the fridge, as this will help it to last longer. A few days after you put it in the refrigerator, you should notice that a layer of sediment forms at the bottom of the wine container. It is not necessary to remove this sediment, but some choose to do so to improve the appearance of the wine and make the texture of the liquid more uniform. If you wish, pour the clarified wine out of the container and leave the sediment on the bottom behind. Then pour the sediment down the sink and pour the clarified...

Article in English: After a serious loss, we sometimes want to do something - anything - to dull the pain. Submitting to a harmful habit like drug use, alcohol abuse, oversleeping, Internet overuse, or wanton promiscuity threatens your well-being and leaves you vulnerable to addiction and further pain. You'll never truly heal until you confront the loss. Ignoring the pain caused by the loss or sedating yourself with distractions will only work for so long - no matter how fast you run from it, eventually, your grief will overtake you. Confront your loss. Allow yourself to cry or grieve in another way that feels natural. Only by first acknowledging your grief can you begin to defeat it. When a loss is fresh in your memory, your grief deserves your full attention. However, you should draw a line on prolonged grieving. Give yourself a period of time - perhaps a few days to a week - to be profoundly sad. Protracted wallowing ultimately keeps you stuck in your sense of loss, paralyzed by self-pity and unable to move forward. Let the tears flow. Never be afraid to cry, even if it's not something you usually do. Realize that there is no right or wrong way to feel pain or to express it. What is important is that you recognize the pain and try to work through it. How you do so is entirely up to you and will vary from person to person.  Find an outlet for your pain. If you're compelled to do a certain activity as you grieve,  do it  (provided it doesn't involve hurting yourself or others.) Crying, pummeling the pillow, going for a long run, throwing things out,screaming at the top of your lungs in a forest or other solitary place, and sketching your memories are just some of the ways that different people find outlets for their pain. All are equally valid. Avoid doing anything that might result in harm to yourself or to others. Loss isn't about inflicting harm or making things worse. Loss is a time for learning how to draw on your inner emotional reserves and learning how to cope with pain. It's healthy to seek out people who will take...

Article in English: After about two weeks, you should be able to stretch your PC muscle easier and for longer durations. Like any muscle in the body, it responds to stimulus and grows with use. Next, try upping the length of the flex and go for more flexes.  Instead of a one or two second hold, try to clench your PC muscle for five to seven seconds. Instead of twenty reps, three times a day, trying shooting for 50 reps, three times a day. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll should learn how to clench your penis and anus sphincter muscle separately or at the same time. Start clenching your PC muscle very slowly. So slowly, in fact, that it takes you several minutes to work up to the point where you are fully clenching. Now that you are fully clenching, clench a little more and hold it there for 30 seconds, breathing slowly all the while. When you feel the burn, release and do 20 normal PC clenches. Perform this exercise at the end of your PC workouts for the day. All this is flexing your PC muscle in increments. Tighten your PC a bit by bit. Start off gently — hold the PC there for a little bit — then a bit more then "gentle." When you have stuttered your PC all the way up to a full clench, don't release the muscle fully; work gently back down, first releasing a little bit, then a bit more, and so on. Imagine that you are running up and down a staircase with your PC muscle. There are several PC muscle exercises you can perform as a male with an erection, and they mostly involve resistance training.  Place a small towel over your erect penis and lift the towel up by squeezing the PC muscles. Hold for 2-5 seconds, relax, and repeat 30 times. Place your hand one or two inches above your erect penis. Clench your PC muscle to lift your erection up to your hand. Hold for 2-5 seconds, relax, and repeat 30 times. Place your hand one or two inches above your erect penis again. Clench your PC muscle to lift your erection up to your hand. This time, gently push your hand down while you lift your penis up, creating resistance. Hold for 2-5...

Article in English: After cutting out the sheath from the leather, you have the option to dye the knife holder.  Prepare your workspace. Cover your work space with 2 to 3 layers of newspaper. Lay the sheath on top of the newspaper—make sure the soft side of the leather is facing up. Put on a pair of disposable rubber gloves.  Apply an even coat of dye to the soft side. Pour your dye into a small disposable cup. Dip a dauber—a stick with a ball of fluff on the end—into the dye. Carefully tap off any excess dye before applying a thin, even coat of dye to the leather. Re-saturate the dauber as needed.  As the dye dries, use a dry rag to polish the leather. This will remove any excess dye and residue. Flip the sheath over so that the rough flesh side is facing up. When applying the dye to the flesh side, take care to leave a 9/16” to ⅝” strip of undyed leather around the edge of the sheath. You will attach the welt to this area with glue. As the dye dries, polish the leather with a dry rag. After hand stitching the sheath together, you have the option to sand and dye the edges.  Use a spray bottle to mist the edges of the sheath with water. Wipe down the edge with a damp cloth.  Shape the edges with a belt sander or wood rasp. Then use a belt sander to even out the three layers of leather with a belt sander and an 80 grit belt. Once the layers are even, use a 220 grit belt to smooth the edge. Touch up any rough spots with a piece of fine sandpaper.  Dye the edge to match the sheath. Cover your work space with 2 to 3 layers of newspaper and put on a pair of disposable rubber gloves. Pour your dye into a small disposable cup. Dip a dauber into the dye. Apply a thin, even coat of dye to the leather with the dauber. Re-saturate the dauber as needed. While the dye dries, remove any excess dye and residue with a dry rag. To increase the lifetime of your sheath, polish and waterproof the leather.

Article in English: After dabbing at the worst of the mess with a washcloth or paper towel, pour the oil directly onto the leftover stain. For most paint stains, you’ll only need to use about a nickel-sized amount.  If the paint stain is located on a slanted or irregular surface of the leather, such as the back of a couch, you can apply the oil using a washcloth. Olive oil is a surprisingly efficient remedy for treating oil-based paint stains—you’re essentially fighting oil with oil. Massage the pads of your fingers into the stain using a circular motion. The added friction will serve to further loosen the paint. You should be able to observe the paint residue dissolving more or less immediately.  For heavy residue or paints of contrasting colors, it may help to work the oil in with a brush to allow it to penetrate deeper. Scratch at drying flakes lightly with your fingernail to scrape them off before they harden. As it sets in, it will begin to emulsify the paint, breaking it down so that it can be lifted away with ease. The longer the oil sits, the more thoroughly it will work. Olive oil is perfectly safe for occasional use on leather. There’s no risk of staining, fading, discoloration or any other destructive side effects. Go over the leather a few times with a clean, dry cloth to remove the remaining paint and excess oil. When you’re done, the leather should be blemish-free and shine like new. Follow up by treating the surface with a trusted leather conditioner, if desired.  Make sure there’s no oily mess left on any part of the leather. If loose paint runs, it may streak. As an added bonus, the olive oil will soften, polish and add a coat of natural waterproofing to the leather.

Article in English: After dividing into two even teams and going over the basic rules, pick which team will start with possession. This can be done by tossing a coin, flipping the Frisbee, or using some other method of your choice, then launching the disc to start play.  The opposing team will stand at their end zone and “pull” the disc to the other team, essentially tossing it in the air for someone to grab, much as a ball is kicked off in American football. This will also happen after each point is scored. The puller should make sure everyone is ready, then toss the Frisbee high toward the opponent's group of players. All the pullers teammates should immediately run toward the opposition to start playing defense. A point is scored by completing a pass into the opponent’s end zone territory. Upon scoring a point, the possession of the disc changes to the team that was scored upon. The team in possession of the Frisbee will be trying to score and the other team will be trying to disrupt play and get possession of the Frisbee, so they may score.  A point is scored when a player passes the Frisbee to another player who is standing in the end zone, and that player makes the catch successfully. At that point, play ends and the defending team will receive possession of the Frisbee. Substitutions may be made in the transition period after a point is scored and before the other team takes over possession of the disc. Physically contacting players on the opposing team is illegal. Picks, screens, and other disruptive plays are not allowed in Ultimate Frisbee. It’s important for defenders to be disruptive and guard the other team, much as in basketball, but without actually coming into contact. It is up to the defender guarding the player in possession of the Frisbee to count to 10, usually aloud. It is this defenders job to police 10-second infractions. Typically, a game of Ultimate Frisbee ends when one team scores 15 points, though you can amend this rule to fit your time constraints and your desires for the game. Typically, a game to...

Article in English: After fermentation is complete, use a fining agent such as isinglass to remove suspended yeast and other material that may be present. Try to find isinglass that doesn't contain sulphites, as some people are allergic to sulphites. After adding the finings, reseal the fermenter with the lid or stopper and the airlock and allow the liquid to clarify for two or three days. Use 0.5 to 1.0 gram of isinglass per 5 gallons (19 L) of batch. Siphon or carefully pour off the liquid into a glass carboy or other airtight container such as a cornelius keg. Leave the unwanted sediment behind in the fermentation vessel. You can also pour the liquid through a pad or membrane filter, such as a wine filter, to further clarify the liquid and remove residual yeast. Bottle the alcohol to preserve it.  Don't store the alcoholic liquid in a carboy for more than a month as it can become oxidized over time. Filter through a carbon filter if desired. Use a food-grade carbon filter to remove unwanted volatiles to further purify the alcohol. If flavors were added before this point, don't use the carbon filter because it will most likely strip out the flavors. Add your alcohol directly to jungle juice or add liqueur flavorings. You can also age the alcohol in sealed bottles to improve the flavor, especially if making liqueurs. New bottles can be found at home brewing shops. Reuse liquor bottles, wine bottles, and beer bottles, or use mason jars.
