Article in English: For young children in the U.S. whose native language in not English, going to school can be frustrating. Here’s a way to help make the transition fun, while also teaching English at the same time. Have students sit in a circle facing inward. The teacher then walks around the circle, tapping each student’s head and using English vocabulary words such as “duck, duck, dog.” When dog is called, that student chases after the teacher. If caught, the teacher must go again. If not, the student can take a turn as the picker, thus practicing pronunciation. Using words like these will help students recognize the difference between similar sounds like “u” in duck and “o” in dog and “ck” in duck and “g” in dog. Before starting, the teacher should talk with students about different animals, including how they sound and how they move. Now have the students sit in a circle facing inward. Choose one child to start as the picker, only in this case the picker will be a duck and will quack and flap its wings while walking around the circle, tapping each child’s head and saying “duck.” Then the duck will choose another student, tap his or her head and say the name of another animal. That child will then hop up and chase after the duck, using the appropriate sounds and movements of the animal he or she was called.  If the duck is tagged before making it to the new animal’s spot, the duck must sit in the middle of the circle until a new animal is tagged. If the duck isn’t tagged, the new animal then walks around the circle, tapping heads and saying his animal’s name until he chooses a child, taps his or her head and calls out a new animal name, which starts another chase.  This variation is great in that it integrates dramatic and expressive play with learning. Using masking tape or chalk – depending upon whether you are playing inside or outside – ask your students to help you create a large circle (it's also a trick to keeping children in the area you want them). While you're doing that, review a subject or area they've been...

Article in English: For your calm down jar, you can start with any safe, transparent container. Plastic containers will be your best bet, as they’re less likely to break and cause accidents. The container you go with should have a solid one-piece lid or cap that screws on and stays put.  Mason jars are a good place to start if you have older children that you trust to handle glass. Clear plastic containers are safer and better choices for younger children. Check your recycling for an empty plastic peanut butter jar, a sturdy water bottle, or a plastic juice or soda bottle. Many crafters recommend Voss or SmartWater bottles for their large size and smooth, sturdy construction. Turn on the tap and run warm water into the jar until it’s about one half to three quarters of the way full. From here, you’ll add each of the other components individually. Together, they’ll form a suspension in the water that will allow the glitter to settle slowly to the bottom.  To create the glitter effect, you’ll be adding glitter glue to the water. Using warm water will help melt the glue, resulting in a smoother suspension with no noticeable globs or separation. Leave 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) of space at the top of the container so that the glitter mixture has room to move when shaken. Stir the glue to distribute it throughout the water and break up any clumps. For larger containers, use 1-2 small tubes of glitter glue. For small calm down jars, a single tube will likely do the trick. Use a toothpick or cotton swab to assist in scraping the glue out of the slender tubes. Swish the jar gently to help the food coloring diffuse throughout the water-glue mixture. The amount you use is largely up to you. Less food coloring will give the jar a bright, translucent look, whereas denser color will produce a mesmerizing galactic swirl.  Stir in the food coloring gradually until you reach the desired shade. Be careful not to add too much color. This will darken the contents of the jar and make it difficult to see the glitter. Grab an additional tube of...

Article in English: For your first project, making a typical, small example of a genre you like is a fine starting point, such as a platformer or a role-playing game. Before you get started, write down any ideas you have for what the game will be like, and your answers to the following questions:  What is the main component of the game play (the "core" game play)? This could be fighting enemies, solving puzzles, or talking to other characters.  What do you want that game play to look like? For example, fighting enemies can happen with real-time button-pushing or turn-based tactical decisions. Dialogue-heavy games can let the player shape the plot based on his decisions, or they can be more about learning as much as you can about the characters and world. What is the mood of the game? Is it creepy, cheerful, mysterious, exciting? If you're using a game engine or game-making tool for the first time, this is a great time to play around with the tool. Learn how to place backgrounds, objects, and moving characters. If possible, make objects that the player can interact with, or look through the software's ready-made objects and see if they come with built-in interactions.  If you're not sure how to do something, ask about it on the tool's website or search online for help. Don't worry about lighting effects and other graphical "extras" yet. This can involve minor tweaks to the game creation software, or more complex systems being built from the ground up. Here are some examples:  If you're making a platformer, do you want the character to be able to double-jump or perform other "special" movement? Play around with the height the character can jump, and whether you want different responses from a light tap, holding down the key, or choosing from several jumps of different types. If you're making an action role-playing game or horror game, which weapons does the player start out with? Choose two or three weapons that the player can upgrade to, and test them out. Try to make the choice between weapons interesting. For instance, a weapon...

Article in English: For your first ultra-marathon, try to eliminate any thoughts that you might not finish or that your time matters. Tell yourself that you’re prepared and that you will finish no matter what. Remember that your first ultra-marathon is a success if you finished, you didn’t get hurt, and you had fun. It’s common to get a rush of adrenaline right at the beginning of the race. Fight the urge to run faster than you should just because you can. This amount of energy will not last, and will cause you to get extra tired later on. Stick to less than the pace that you developed during training, or about 50-65% maximum effort, to be sure that you’re not overdoing it at the start of the race. Don’t be concerned about other racers. The real race in an ultra-marathon is against yourself. You most likely trained by yourself, so you know what’s best for you during the race too. A reason that you ran with a pack and supplies during training was so that you could figure out what worked well for you. Don’t change anything, especially regarding fuel, the day of the race. Stay hydrated and consume calories as frequently and in the same amount that you did during training. Try not to think about the next 30 miles (48 km) that you still have to go. Think about how you feel right then, at that moment, and enjoy it. Enjoy your music if you’ve prepared a playlist for the race. Listen to the sounds of the forest or environment as you run. Another technique is to try looking in the near distance to an object and focus on running just to that object. After you pass that object, choose a new one and focus on running to that. This will help keep your mind off the finish and how much total distance you have left to go.

Article in English: For your paper airplane to soar true, it’s important that you use a piece of paper that is neither too light nor too heavy. In most cases, a standard sheet of 8.5”x11” (A4) letter paper will be the perfect size, weight and thickness to make a plane that when folded correctly will fly for dozens of feet. The flimsiness of thin papers like newsprint keeps them from catching the air, while cardstock, construction paper and other heavier types of paper will create too much drag, and will also be more difficult to fold. You are not just limited to paper, cardboard if cut through the center could be used if needed.    The types of paper commonly used in offices—crisp, smooth and perfectly weighted—often make for excellent paper planes. It’s okay to use thinner paper for smaller planes, since the compact size will compensate for the weight difference. Likewise, heavier paper can be used to make oversized planes. Until you’ve mastered the folding technique, avoid working with papers with unusual dimensions. Most paper airplane folding instructions are given with 8.5”x11” (A4) paper in mind. Altering the height or width of the paper can drastically change how the airplane turns out, and if it’s too wide or too narrow, it may not fly at all. If you’re working with scrap paper, cut or tear it until it’s roughly the proportions of letter paper, then reproduce the folds on a slightly larger or smaller scale.

Article in English: Foundations come in many varieties, each offering different benefits and drawbacks. While some use solid foundation sticks, liquid foundations tend to be the more popular option.  Finding the right foundation can be a challenge. You want one that best matches your natural skin tone. If your skin is prone to irritation, you'll need to look for foundations that are advertised as "gentle" and "for sensitive skin." Additionally, quality foundation is expensive, so you may not be able to afford trial and error. When choosing a new foundation, try talking to beauticians at a makeup counter in a department store or cosmetics shop. They will most likely offer to do your makeup for free. They'll pick out the perfect shade to match your skin tone, and you can get an idea of how different products feel on your skin. Don't feel obligated to buy anything that day.

Article in English: Fragrance oils can be created from a small amount of essential oils placed within a carrier oil. Fragrance oil can also be essential oils held in a synthetic carrier. Synthetic aromatic compounds placed within either a natural or a synthetic carrier are also known as fragrance oils.  Essential oils are naturally occurring oils created by a process of distillation. Their uses are varied, but in general these oils are much stronger. Essential oils are rarely used in an undiluted state. The main purpose of fragrance oil is to add aroma to the environment. Fragrance oils are also called scented oils. Because they are often made synthetically, fragrance oils come in a broader range of scents, and are usually much less expensive than essential oils. Their scent will often be stronger, and last longer, than the scent of essential oils.  Using fragrance oils can be more environmentally sustainable than using essential oils. For example, using sandalwood oil is a product of killing the entire tree. Whether you decide to use essential oils or fragrance oils depends on your purpose. Each oil has its merits. Some essential oils can cause negative reactions with skin contact. Fragrance oils may offer a way to access the scent of the essential oil by diluting the oil in a natural or synthetic carrier. Fragrance oils smell lovely, but have no real therapeutic value. Essential oils contain the true essence of the flowers, herbs, roots, or resins. Unlike fragrance oils, essential oils have not been cut with any kind of carrier oil.  Fragrance oils can lift the spirits simply by smelling good. Because essential oils are distilled in small batches from local regions, their consistency varies. For crafters seeking to develop a consistent product, this can be a challenge. Some crafters choose to use fragrance oils when possible in order for more predictable consistency.

Article in English: Fragrances and chemicals act as drying agents that can pull moisture from your skin. Fragrant compounds are also frequently alcohol-based, which also dries out your skin. Look for an unscented lotion designed for dry and sensitive skin that is oil- or cream-based. Some fragrances and chemicals can also cause an allergic reaction, which may be part of the problem with your dry skin. If you were previously using a fragranced lotion, that may be part of the reason for the cracked skin on your fingers. Dry your hands thoroughly, then gently apply an oil- or cream-based moisturizer. This will lock in the natural oils and moisture in your skin to promote healing. Dot small amounts of the moisturizer all over your hands and then dab it in, rather than rubbing it. You don't want to exacerbate any peeling or cracking. Wash your hands and treat any deep cracks with an anti-bacterial ointment, such as Neosporin. After that has dried, gently dab a thicker ointment onto your hands and fingers. Cover your hands with light cotton gloves to seal in the moisture. Ointments that contain petroleum jelly lock in moisture and help heal cracked skin better than anything else. However, these ointments will likely feel greasy and may inhibit your activity during the day.

Article in English: Freckles are a hereditary trait caused by an uneven distribution of skin pigmentation. A freckle occurs when there is a large concentration of the melanin pigment underneath one spot on your skin.  Most natural freckles are small and essentially harmless. They tend to show up on areas exposed to sunlight, like your face, and these are probably the type you're longing for. They also range in color and may be tan, brown, black, yellow, or red. Sometimes freckles form as the result of sunburn. These are larger and often have irregular borders. While regular freckles usually fade after sunlight exposure decreases, sunburn freckles stay put. If there are no freckles in your genetic line, you will not be able to develop natural freckles. The people most likely to develop freckles are those with red hair and pale skin, but freckles are not exclusive to this set of characteristics. People with dark hair are less likely to have freckles, though it is still possible for them to have them. People with light hair and light colored eyes are also more likely to have freckles. To determine if freckles are in your family line, look at your family. Siblings, parents, grandparents, and others who you are directly descended from are your best sources to consider, but extended family whom you are not directly descended from still share some genetic traits with you. Freckles are drawn out with exposure to UV light. If you have natural freckles, spending a little time in bright sunlight might bring them out of hiding. Be careful, though - you should never stay out long enough to get a burn. Wearing sunscreen that's 20 to 30 SPF will still allow your skin to tan while protecting you from getting burned.  When UV rays hit the epidermis (the outermost layer of skin), it thickens slightly, causing the cells in your body to produce more pigment. As a result, the pigmentation of your freckles darkens, making them visible. If you would rather skip the sunbathing, consider exposing yourself to UV rays at a tanning salon. Follow the...

Article in English: Free up your hands to do work by resting your guitar on its back. You can use a table, a box, your guitar case, even your own lap. Alternatively, if your guitar has a neck strap, wear the neck strap and turn the guitar face up. Make sure the guitar's head is not touching anything to ensure that your tuning pegs don't get messed with in the process, and ideally place it on a block to stabilize it. Some people prefer to use a paper towel, microfiber cloth, or dry dish towel that they fold into eighths; other people prefer to use a clean cotton diaper. Any number of cloth or paper products will work, you just want to make sure that it's clean, dry, and relatively soft. Instead of applying the cleaning solution directly to the strings, which will also result in your guitar being sprayed, spray the solution onto your rag first. This will prevent any excess cleaning solution from gathering and being difficult to remove.  For a guitar with nylon strings, a non-dampened towel or one slightly dampened with water will suffice. For guitars with steel strings, there are guitar string cleaners that are manufactured for use like Fast-Fret String Cleaner, Dunlop Ultraglide, Dr.Stringfellow, and the like. However, you do not have to use these products if you cannot afford them. 70-90% rubbing alcohol can also be effective, as can pre-shaving gel. With your rag now wet and ready to clean your strings, slide half of the sheet underneath the guitar strings near the bridge or bottommost portion for the strings. Then fold the remaining half of the cloth over so that the entire cloth covers both sides of the strings. You want to make sure that you go all the way from the bridge/saddle area up to the nut of your guitar. Pay special attention to the portions of string located on the fingerboard as you most assuredly touch these every time, and, if you finger pick your instrument, the portions over the soundhole. Apply downward pressure to clean the top portion, and pull upward some to be sure that you get the underside as well.  It...

Article in English: Freesia plants will continue to thrive after cutting, so there's no harm done if you want to bring some inside to enjoy in your home. Use a clean pair of pruning shears or a sharp knife and make a diagonal cut toward the base of the stem, leaving a few inches of stem intact.  Don't use scissors to cut freesias, since they pinch the stem instead of making a clean cut. A clean cut will ensure the cut freesias last a long time, and it does less damage to the plant. Potted freesias may also be cut. Avoid bringing the entire pot inside, though, since freesias will die without adequate sunlight. Freesias can last up to three weeks indoors if you feed them flower food. Fill a vase with clean water and empty a packet of flower food from the nursery inside. Alternatively, you can add a teaspoon of sugar syrup to provide food for the flowers. Add more food each time you change the water, which should be done every few days. Another way to ensure your flowers last a long time is to use a very clean vase with no residue from previous bouquets. Any little bit of bacteria can cause the flowers to rot more quickly. In addition to using a clean vase and changing the water every few days, try adding a teaspoon of bleach to the water when you change it. The bleach kills bacteria and keeps the flowers perky far longer than when you don't use it.

Article in English: Freesias grow from bulbs that must be planted at a particular time of year to thrive. The season when you plant your freesias depends on what growing zone you live in. Check out a growing zone finder to determine when to plant freesias in your particular region.  Freesias are hardy in growing zones 9 and 10, meaning they'll survive the winter in these warmer areas. If you live in one of these zones, you should plan to plant your freesia bulbs in the early fall to give them time to sprout roots and get established. If you live in a cooler growing zone, such as zones 1-9, the freesias will die over the winter if you plant them in the fall. It's best to wait until spring, just after the last chance of frost has passed. That way the fragile buds will grow and thrive. Freesia bulbs, also called corms, look similar to green onions. Buy them from a nursery the same day or just a few days before you plan to put them in the ground. If you live in a cooler growing zone, wait until spring to purchase your freesia bulbs. Purchase bulbs that have been prepared by going through a dormancy period and that are now ready to grow. Talk to your local flower store or nursery to help you find the right bulbs. Choose a spot that gets full sun. Freesias won't bloom if they're planted in the shade. They need full sun to thrive and have a long blooming season. Choose a planting spot that gets full sun for at least eight hours every day. The soil should be relatively fertile, but it's not usually necessary to amend the soil to change its pH. That said, freesias do need soil that drains well. They need a lot of water, and if it sits around their bulbs and roots it will cause them to rot.  When you have a spot picked out, check to see how it drains by digging a hole and filling it with water. If the water stands in the hole and drains very slowly, you'll need to choose another spot or add material to the soil to help it drain better. If you've chosen a planting spot that doesn't drain well, till the soil to a depth of 12 inches and work...

Before preparing them for the freezer, however, cool them on a wire rack for at least an hour. They should be cool to the touch before you move on. Leave your cupcakes uncovered and on a plate. This is a pre-freeze that will harden the frosting. They're ready to be taken out of the freezer when the frosting does not warp when you gently touch the surface. If you don't have enough space in your freezer for all of your cupcakes to sit on a plate to pre-freeze, you may need to do multiple rounds of pre-freezing.

Article in English: French formal letters have a specific formula for the closing. Use an expression such as dans l'attente de vous lire before the formal closing if you expect a reply from the recipient. While a literal translation of this phrase would be "looking forward to reading you," its actual meaning is closer to "looking forward to hearing from you" or "looking forward to your reply." Even if you have a relationship with the recipient of the letter, if you are writing for a business purpose the closing of the letter requires a certain formality. This communicates respect for the business relationship, apart from any personal acquaintance you may have.   Veuillez recevoir, Monsieur/Madame, mes salutations distinguées is used for general business or formal letters. This phrase is similar to "yours sincerely" in a letter written in English.  Veuillez agréer, Monsieur/Madame, l'assurance de mon parfaite considération is used if you are writing to someone who would be considered your equal, or someone in an inferior position to yourself. For example, you might use this expression if you were a business owner writing a vendor. If you're writing to someone who would be considered your superior, you would end a letter in French with even more formality than you use in standard business letters.  Use Je vous prie d'agréer, Monsieur/Madame, l'expression de mes sentiments respectueux if you are writing to someone who would generally be considered your superior, such as if you are applying for a job.  Je vous prie de croire, Monsieur/Madame, à l'assurance de mes salutations distinguées is used if you are writing to a dignitary or elected official. It means something closer to "yours faithfully," and implies a subjugation to the recipient. In your closing expression, use the full title and name that you used for the salutation at the opening of the letter. If you used cher or chère before the recipient's name, it's typical to also include that in your closing. For example, suppose you're writing a business owner named Jacques...

Article in English: Frequent cleaning of your touchscreen will keep it looking nice and functioning properly. Perform routine cleaning up to once a day. For most people, once a week will be sufficient. Oils on your skin can dirty your touchscreen more quickly. To keep your touchscreen its cleanest, always wash your hands before handling your computer. It can be helpful to avoid messy tasks, such as eating, while working. Most household cleaners are not formulated for sensitive touchscreens. Only use eyeglass cleaner or solutions that are specifically formulated for technology screens to prevent damage to your device. If your touchscreen computer is a laptop, close the cover when you aren't using it. This will prevent excess dust build up and keep your screen protected from direct sunlight, which can damage the display.

Article in English: Frequent or prolonged exposure to loud noises is one of the most common causes of hearing loss, despite the fact that this type of hearing loss is completely preventable.  Our brain registers sound thanks to a spiral-shaped organ in the inner ear called the cochlea. The cochlea is covered in thousands of tiny hairs which register sound vibrations and turn them into electrical impulses to be processed by the brain. When your ears are exposed to loud noises, these tiny hairs can become damaged, resulting in hearing loss. Although short, intense noises (like fireworks or a gunshot) are sometimes the cause, the most common cause is regular exposure to excessive noise (listening to music too loudly, working in a noisy environment). It's important to realize that once this type of hearing damage occurs, it cannot be reversed. Therefore it is very important to take measures to protect your hearing before it's too late. A large part of protecting your hearing is learning to recognize potentially dangerous noise levels. Then you will have a better idea of what to avoid.  Prolonged exposure to noise levels above 85 decibels is considered to be damaging to your hearing. To give you an idea of where 85 decibels lies on the scale:  Normal conversation: 60 to 65 dB Motorcycle or lawnmower: 85 to 95 dB Music at a nightclub: 110 dB MP3 player at maximum volume: 112 dB Ambulance siren: 120 dB   Taking measures to reduce noise levels by just a few decibels can be hugely beneficial for your ears. This is due to the fact that every 3 dB increase in the noise level effectively doubles the amount of sound energy being released. As a result, the amount of time you can safely spend listening to a certain sound rapidly decreases the louder the sound is. For example, you can safely spend up to eight hours listening to an 85 dB sound, but you should only spend 15 minutes exposed to noise levels above 100 dB. If you can't hold a conversation with someone who is standing two meters away from you without shouting, the noise level is...

Article in English: Fresh ginger is the most potent form and it is easy to find in grocery stores. Look for a piece of ginger root that has smooth skin and a gingery odor. The root should feel firm, not mushy or floppy.  You can store an unpeeled piece of ginger in your refrigerator for up to four weeks. Just keep it wrapped in paper towels or place it in a brown paper bag.  Store peeled pieces of ginger in a plastic bag or container in your refrigerator. Peeled ginger will keep for a few days in the refrigerator. Dried ginger powder is also a good way to include more ginger in your diet. You can add the powder to muffins, cookies, cakes and other dishes. If possible, choose a powdered ginger that is organic. Powdered ginger will keep in your pantry or spice rack until it reaches its expiration date. Check the package to determine when you need to replace your powdered ginger. When choosing an herbal supplement, it is important to be cautious. Supplements are not regulated by the FDA, so manufacturers may include misleading claims on their products or even misrepresent the contents of the bottle. One good way to increase the chances that you are getting a quality product is to call the manufacturer and ask some questions, such as:  How do I know that this product is safe? What is your quality control system? What research have you done to determine if the product is effective? Have any of your consumers experienced adverse effects after using this product? If so, what were they?

Article in English: Fresh herbs can add a powerful flavor to a bowl of freshly cooked rice. After removing your rice from the stove, chop your chosen herbs into tiny slices. Then, mix them into the rice to add flavor. Herbs that can be added to rice include things like parsley, rosemary, cilantro, and garlic. Choose herbs that match the dishes you're serving. If you're serving rice alongside an Italian dish, for example, try adding fresh garlic and basil to the rice. After your rice is cooked, heat some oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Choose an oil that has a lot of flavor, such as olive oil. You can also add some herbs or spices, such as parsley or garlic. Add your rice to the skillet and coat the rice in the oil and herbs until it's golden brown. While this option adds a lot of flavor, it also adds extra calories to the rice. It's not the best option if you're looking for a side dish low in calories. After you cook your rice, mix in fruits like cranberries and cherries to sweeten it. Add sweet spices, like cinnamon and nutmeg, as well as things like vanilla or almond extract. This can create a sweet-flavored rice that can make a great dessert. Flavoring rice with fresh fruit and low or no-calorie sweeteners can be a great dessert option if you're trying to cut down on added sugar. When you're in the supermarket, pick up seasoning packets from the spice aisle. Things like cajun blends, or even spice blends meant to flavor taco meat, can be mixed into rice after cooking. This is a very quick means to create a delicious rice side dish for any meal. Citrus flavors, like lime and lemon, can add some tang to rice. This can work great when serving rice alongside dishes such as fish, which pair well with citrus. After removing rice from the stove, try squeezing in a dash of your favorite citrus flavoring.

If you do get chlorine on your hair, you'll need to wash it out with a clarifying shampoo, which will fade your color. Heat can dry out your hair, which will make the color look dull and faded. Occasional blow-drying or straightening is fine, but it shouldn’t be done every day. If you do use heat tools like a blow-dryer or a curling iron, spray your hair with a thermal protectant first so the heat doesn’t damage your hair. UV rays can damage your hair and dull your color. It’s already a good idea to wear a hat to protect your face from sun damage, but covering your hair can help keep your color looking new longer. You can also spray your hair with a UV-protecting spray before you leave the house if you know you’re going to be in the sun. A glaze is a treatment that will boost the vibrancy and shine of your hair for about a month. You can either have this done at the salon or you can purchase an at-home glaze. If you’re glazing your hair at home, follow all of the instructions on the packaging. Consider asking a friend to help you to ensure even coverage.

Article in English: Fried and fatty foods tend to trigger heartburn or acid reflux because they take longer to digest, require more stomach acid and make it easier for the acid to slosh back up into your esophagus. As such, choose leaner cuts of meat and poultry, consume low-fat dairy products and bake more items instead of frying them.  Foods to avoid include: French fries, most fast food items, potato chips, bacon, sausages, gravy, regular ice cream and milkshakes. Some fat is needed for your baby to develop normally, so focus more on avocados, coconut products and nuts / seeds that have healthier fatty acids. Another group of foods to avoid are spicy and acidic types, because they can irritate your esophagus on the way down, then trigger acid reflux once they hit the stomach. As such, avoid hot sauces, cayenne pepper, jalapeños, salsas, tomato sauce, onions, garlic and peppercorns.  Despite their delicious flavors and health benefits, Mexican and Thai cuisine should be avoided if you're experiencing a bout of acid reflux. Be careful with acidic citrus fruits, such as oranges and grapefruits. Stick to fresh-squeezed varieties and don't drink them on an empty stomach to avoid heartburn. Caffeine is a known trigger of acid reflux (it stimulates stomach acid production), but almost all beverages that contain caffeine are also acidic, so it's another double whammy situation for heartburn. As such, limit or avoid coffee, black tea, hot chocolate, colas, most other sodas and all energy drinks.  Colas and sodas may actually be a "quadruple whammy" for heartburn because they are acidic, caffeinated, sugary and carbonated. The bubbles expand your stomach and make it more likely acid is pushed past the esophageal sphincter. You should also avoid caffeinated beverages because the caffeine can decrease your blood flow and limit the nutrition your baby gets. Alcohol is a common cause of heartburn due to its acidity and relaxing effect on the esophageal sphincter, but pregnant women should also avoid it completely due to the negative...

Article in English: Friends are generally very difficult to fake a relationship around, particularly if you were planning on making it a long-term illusion. Although you'll always have to deflect the offer when they ask to spend time with him, you should put detail to good use. Refer to him by name, and treat it as if you're talking about a real human being.  The choice of name is important. Avoid outlandish or foreign-sounding names. You should avoid giving out a surname as well. Your friends may be curious and try to look him up on social media if you do. Any illusion has a better chance of working if you put extra thought into it. Because friends are going to want to know more about your boyfriend, you should prepare a believable personality for him. What does he do for work? How did the two of you meet? What are his personality quirks? If you're going to act like you have a boyfriend around your friends, you'll need to dig beneath the surface and concoct a well-rounded story. Believability includes not making your boyfriend seem too perfect. Although you don't need to list out his flaws along with the good things, you should limit the good things so you don't seem like you're exaggerating. Everyone has a complaint about their significant other from time to time. If you're already dating someone faithfully, you likely won't be going out of your way to impress other people as much, especially when they're the opposite sex. Even if you're regularly extroverted, you shouldn't go out of your way as much to spark conversation with new people. Many people place a lot of their self-worth on whether or not they're in a relationship. If you want to make it seem like you're with someone, you should do your best to exhibit this confidence in yourself. One way or another, you shouldn't let your relationship status affect how you feel on a normal basis.

Article in English: From April to October, or whenever you make your plant think it is spring, it needs plenty of water and sun. The growing period is when your plant will be in full activity; '‘catching’' prey, photosynthesizing, and producing flowers. You should only ever use pure water; distilled water, deionized water, and rainwater are all viable options. Giving your plants Reverse Osmosis filtered water is the best choice because most other sources, like drinking water, already have minerals added for flavor. There are three main reasons why tap water is bad for your fly traps.  Tap water contains things like chlorine, sodium and sulfur (among others) that will build up in your plant’s soil over time, causing sickness and, eventually plant death. Most tap water sources the pH levels are on the 7.9 to 8.3 range. The chlorine kills most living organisms even the beneficial ones. You can use tap water if you measure the water with a TDS (total dissolved solids) meter. Your water has to read less than 50 parts per million (ppm) on the TDS meter in order for it to be safe for your plant. During the growing season, your plant’s soil should never be completely dry. Try to keep your plant’s growing medium so that it is moist to the touch (not soggy). There are three ways to water your plant, each with their own benefits:   The Tray Method: The tray method of watering is one of the best watering methods for an actively growing plant that is in direct sunlight. Your plant should be in a pot that has drainage holes in the bottom. Place the pot in a tray that is filled with water. Your plant’s growing medium will absorb the water like a wick, giving your plant all of the water it needs & increasing humidity around the pot. Keep in mind, however, that if your pot is relatively shallow (5 inches or 13 cm) this method could be detrimental to your plant because the plant’s roots could be too surrounded by water, causing fungal or bacterial growth.   The Top Method: This is how most plants are watered, you pour or spray water onto the soil...

Article in English: From Dumaguete, you can drive or take a taxi to the town of Tampi in Amlan, Negros Oriental. This is about a 30 minute drive. Alternatively, you can take a taxi to the Sibulan port and take a fast craft or pump boat going to Li-Loan for 30 minutes. From either Tampi or Li-Loan, you can ride a 30 minute ferry across the Tanon Straight to the town of Oslob.

Article in English: From a shotgun, you can either fire "shot" or "slugs." Shot shells are plastic cartridges filled with tiny metal pellets and should always be fired from non-rifled shotgun barrels. Slugs are essentially a single, fairly large metal bullet loaded in a plastic cartridge.  The kind of shot used in shot shells also varies and it is important to understand the way shot is sized. Birdshot contains smaller pellets for use on smaller animals or targets, while buckshot rounds are filled with larger pellets for use on larger animals or targets. Slugs are available in rifled varieties, for use in smooth-bore barrels, and "sabot" varieties, for use in rifled barrels. Shotguns come in many different gauges, and the ammunition will correspond to that gauge. You must use 12 gauge ammunition for a 12 gauge shotgun, 20 gauge for a 20 gauge, etc. A 20 gauge shell will fit in a 12 gauge gun, slide about halfway down the barrel and stick if you try to fire it. This can be very dangerous, so it's critical to make sure you buy the appropriate size of shell, regardless of style. Longer shells contain more powder and more shot per shell, or a larger slug. The standard shotgun chamber size is 2 3/4 inches for all gauge shotguns. Some shotguns have a 3 inch chamber. Shotguns are known to favor different loads and different shot, so experimenting with various combinations in search of a good match can be useful. 12 gauge shot shells are the most common shotgun shells sold, and are typically available in three different shell lengths:  Regular shells are 2 3/4" long - safely fired in a shotgun with a 2 3/4" or 3" chamber Magnum shells are 3" - safely fired in a shotgun with a 3" chamber Super-magnum shells are 3 1/2"  Make sure that the chamber of your shotgun is as long or longer than the shells you choose.  Do not use 3" or 3 1/2" shells in a 2 3/4" chamber or 3 1/2" shells in a 3" chamber. The shot number will be printed on boxes of ammunition and refers to the size of the individual pellets in the shell. Larger shot numbers mean...

Article in English: From the age of 12 weeks old to 6 months, your puppy should get three meals a day. This will allow the pup to have frequent, small meals so that they receive the amount of nutrition that they need but don’t gorge themselves. After the age of 6 months, feed them 2 meals a day.  Find times to feed the pup that work into your daily schedule. For example, try feeding the pup once at 7 am before work, once at 1 pm after lunch, and once at 8 pm after dinner. The amount of food you give the dog depends on its size and appetite. Follow the suggested serving given on the food container, or check with your vet to see how much a healthy Bully pup should eat each day. Bully puppies under 12 weeks will need 4 meals a day. If you have very young Bully pups, work with your vet to establish an optimal eating schedule. Avoid letting a large bowl of water sit out all day for your Bully pup. Instead, dump the old water out and refill the bowl with new water with every meal. This will allow your puppy to stay hydrated and will prevent them from ingesting insects or bacteria that have accumulated on the day-old water. You should also continue this practice after the Bully is fully grown. Unlike slimmer breeds of dog, American Bullies do have a tendency to become overweight if left around food unsupervised. If your schedule prevents you from feeding the dog 3 times daily, you can leave food accessible to your dog throughout the day. However, if you notice the pup becoming fat rather than muscular, restrict its access to food.  For example, you could feed the dog a generous amount of food at 7 am and again at 7 pm. Dogs’ metabolisms change once they hit about 1 year of age. At this point, you may notice the dog putting on fat rather than muscle.

Article in English: From the front to the back, a list of what you have to memorize would look like:  Slide Barrel bushing Barrel Firing pin Extractor Hammer stop The human mind is very good at associating things. This talent runs so deep, in fact, that it's possible to use that ability to memorize things. For this memory, you'll create an imaginary journey or walk-through that you'll associate with what you have to remember. Going on your imaginary journey or walk-through will bring up your memories. The associative method is very powerful, especially if you have a strong imagination. Throughout history, people have used some variation on the associative method (like imagining walking through mental houses, looking around an imaginary room or flipping through a pretend book) to organize memories.  Memories that are easy to split up and spatially organize are best suited for the associative method - things like the stanzas of a poem, components of a machine or the procedure for cooking eggs. Memories that can't be divided up are less well-suited - like the basic idea of Abstract Expressionist painting, the history of the War of the Roses or remembering how to ask someone out. You'll use your second set of memories as a "key" for what you have to remember.  For this reason, if you have a list of discrete items that don't fit together in any way, it'll be harder to shape your second "key" memories. For our example, we'll simply imagine being a tiny little man walking around inside a 1911 slide. This can be as cool and interesting or simple and easy to remember as you want to make it. For our example, a tiny man walking through a 1911 slide might say:  "First we'll encounter the barrel bushing, and inside it, I can see the barrel poking out. Behind the barrel and the breech face as we walk further back I'll see a tiny hole through which I can see the firing pin, and to its left will be the extractor against the side of the slide; when I make it to the very back, I'll reach the hammer stop." A few times a day, concentrate and...

Article in English: From time to time, you'll be faced with water problems that require aggressive chemical solutions. But generally, these chemicals should become part of your pool maintenance routine as you might need to adjust certain levels sporadically. You product's instructions will provide appropriate dosage, should adjusting be necessary. Here are the most common chemicals you'll need:  Chlorine Shocking products Algaecide You and your guests won't be too happy with algae and bacteria swimming alongside with you. Chlorine keeps these unwanted guests away. There are a few options out there when it comes to choosing the right chlorine products.  Basic Chlorinating Tabs. These tabs dissolve slowly, and can be found in 1-inch and 3-inch sizes. They do a great job at keeping your pool clean. Plus, most chlorinating tablets contain a built-in stabilizer to shield your water's chlorine from the sun's rays. You can use the tablets in your floating dispenser, skimmer or automatic chlorinator. Liquid Chlorine. In liquid form, chlorine is quite similar to household bleach. But beware: it is also much stronger when it is designed for pools. Applying liquid chlorine is relatively easy, but it has a rather short shelf life. It won't last for more than a few weeks. Chlorinating Tabs. Some non-basic chlorinating tabs provide a multifunctional approach to pool maintenance; they sanitize the water while also shocking your pool. Shocking your pool gets rid of all sorts of contaminants. Chlorinating Granules. These granules come in multifunctional varieties that can help you resolve several issues at once; chlorinating, shocking and killing algae with a single, daily application. Performing this task is crucial, as shocking keeps the water clear, and reduces eye irritation and odors coming from the chlorine. As mentioned, certain chlorine products already have built-in shockers, but if you choose to go with ones that do not, here are some shocking products that get the job done:  Basic Shock Products.

Article in English: Fruits and veggies should be the foundation of your diet. Have at least 3 servings of each per day, and mix up the types of fruits and veggies you eat. The exact amount you’ll need depends on your age, sex, and activity level.  Include dark greens (like kale, spinach, and broccoli), red and orange veggies (like tomatoes, carrots, and peppers), legumes (beans and peas), and starchy vegetables (like potatoes) in your diet. If you eat 2,000 calories daily, you should have at least 2.5 cups (590 mL) of veggies per day. Eat a variety of fruits, such as apples, oranges, bananas, berries, and grapes. If you consume 2,000 calories per day, you should have at least 2 cups (470 mL) of fruit daily. Adult women should consume 6 ounces (170 g) of grains per day, and adult men should consume 7 to 8 ounces (200 to 230 g). At least half of your total daily grains should be whole grains, such as whole wheat bread, whole grain cereal, and brown rice.  Higher intakes of whole grains and cereal fiber can lower the progression of arterial plaque. Whole grain products are healthier than their refined counterparts, such as white rice, white flour, and white bread. Examples of 2 oz (57 g) servings include 2 slices of whole wheat bread, 1 cup (240 mL) of cooked whole wheat pasta, and 1 cup (240 mL) of brown rice. 1 cup (240 mL) of whole grain breakfast cereal counts as a 1 oz (28 g) serving. Healthy protein-rich foods include skinless poultry, fish, nuts and nut butters, and eggs. If you consume 2,000 calories daily, you should eat 5.5 ounces (160 g) of protein-rich foods per day.  Eating red meat daily increases your risk of cardiovascular disease. Limit your consumption of red meat and, if you do eat it, choose 95 percent lean beef or pork tenderloin instead of fattier cuts.  While a heart-healthy diet can include lean meats, there’s evidence that a plant-based diet is the best way to prevent cardiovascular disease. A diet high in saturated and trans fats increases LDL levels, or bad cholesterol, which can worsen plaque buildup....

Article in English: Fruits contain lots of fiber, which when combined with protein rich low-fat Greek yogurt is a recipe for breakfast success.  Basic smoothie recipes combine about 1 cup of plain low-fat Greek yogurt, 1 cup frozen fruit (banana and berries work best), and 1/2 cup liquid (low-fat or soy milk is great for even more protein, but juice or coconut water also work well). Get creative by throwing in some chia, hemp, or flax seeds.  These power-foods are packed with tons of protein, fiber, and nutrients. You can make your smoothie the night before, freeze it overnight, and thaw/re-blend it in the morning. If you like a bit more crunch for breakfast than typically found in a smoothie, try putting together a fruit and yogurt parfait.
Layer together low-fat yogurt with some healthful toppings: crushed nuts, rolled oats, and fresh cut fruits for sweetness. Packaged granola can be laden with added sugars and oils, so it's best to avoid them. Instead, opt for making your own healthy granola. Be on trend by combining some chai seeds to your yogurt parfait, or topping it with oatmeal, fruit, and/or peanut butter to make your own version of an "acai bowl."   Peanut or another type of sun butter can also be a nice addition to yogurt parfaits. Swirl in some natural or low-sugar peanut butter for a nice textural and protein-rich addition. Nonfat plain yogurt can replace the sour cream or other fats used in many baked goods recipes.  Yogurt will add moisture and tenderness to traditional coffee cake, carrot cake, and muffin recipes, for example, while cutting a lot of the fat and calories.  Browse more recipes here.

Article in English: GIMP is a free image editor that comes installed on some Linux distributions. If you don't have it installed, you can get it for free using your distribution's package manager or Software Center. Open the Software Center, search for "gimp", and then install the "GIMP Image Editor". The screenshot creation tool will open. This tool is very similar to the Gnome Screenshot utility. You can choose to take three different types of screenshots: single window, full-screen, or custom selection. If you choose the single window option, you'll be able to click the window that you want to take a screenshot of. You can add a delay before the screenshot is taken so that you can arrange everything exactly how you want it. If you have single window or custom screenshots selected, you'll choose your screenshot target after the delay timer runs out. Depending on your settings, the screenshot may be taken immediately. When you're finished, the screenshot will open in the GIMP editing window. If you don't want to make any edits to the screenshot, you can save it to your hard drive. Click the "File" menu and select "Export". Give the screenshot a name and choose where you would like to save it. Click the "Export" button once you are satisfied.

Article in English: Garage sale customers are more likely to buy (and to buy at higher prices) if it looks like the merchandise came from a good home with owners that care for their things. They’re also more likely to feel comfortable stopping and browsing if your sale space is attractive and clean. Presentation is key.   Mow the lawn, rake the leaves, and open up space to display the items you're selling. Make sure that customers have plenty of parking space. Consider moving any cars that are usually parked in front of your house. You might need to move them to another street or ask a neighbour if you can park your car in front of their house or in their driveway. You can use tables and bookshelves from your house to display your items, Or you can rent folding tables if you don't have enough.  While customers do see and buy items that are on the ground, it's important to display small items on tables. This protects them from foot traffic and allows people to easily inspect them. If you're using furniture from your home to display your wares, make sure that this not-for-sale furniture isn't mistaken for something that's up for grabs. Consider draping a sheet or a tablecloth over tables to hide the furniture itself but preserve the display space. Customers may not have exact change on hand, and your ability to make change could be the difference between a sale and a walk away.  Unless you've got a lot of change at home, chances are that you’ll need to visit the bank the day before the sale. Pick up a few rolls of coins and be sure to keep plenty of small bills on hand. You’re going to be making change for a lot of customers, so consider using a fanny pack or an apron to organize your money. Many fanny packs have two pockets: you can keep the bills in the large compartment, and the coins in the smaller compartment. Keep large bills in the house until they're needed. You don't have to drop them or lose large amounts of money in case your money is stolen. If you own a smartphone or a tablet, consider setting up a credit card swipe....

Article in English: Gather a small section of your hair and brush it to remove any tangles. Turn on a flat iron to the lowest setting (usually around 250-300 degrees F) and once it's warm, run it through the strand. Continue running the flat iron over the section of hair until the section is smooth and straight. Each section will end up being a curl. For many small curls, keep the sections small. You should also make sure the sections aren't too large or the pin clips won't be able to hold the hair. With the flat iron on the lowest setting, run it through the straight strand of hair. Wind the hair backwards away from your face so that the strand curls onto the flat iron. Do this slowly so that the hair curls. Keep the temperature of the flat iron low so that it doesn't melt your synthetic hair. The curl doesn't have to be perfect. You're just getting a basic curl shape that you'll wind and pin to your head. While the curl is still warm, wrap it tightly around your index finger. Gently slide the curl off of your finger and hold it between your thumb and index finger. The curl will look like a flat, circular twist of hair. Bring the curl to your scalp and pin it to your head using a small metal hair clip. If you want the curls to hold longer, you can spray the curl with hair spray before you wrap and pin them. Straighten, curl and pin the rest of your hair. You may find it easier to curl and pin the hair closest to your temples (if curling a weave). This will keep the hair out of your face. Once you've pinned all of your synthetic hair, let them rest in the pins overnight or at least for several hours. Remove the clips and run your fingers through the curls. To get a more natural look, you can run your fingers in between curls to divide them and give your hair more body.

Article in English: Gender is in someone's heart, not in their underpants, and trans people transition so that they can be their authentic selves. Trans people's safety is at risk when they go out to date; they wouldn't fake it for fun. If a trans person wants to date you, they want to be accepted for who they are.  All humans need to be social and experience flirtation, relationships, and love. Would you walk up to that cute girl at the bar and say, "I have serious commitment issues?" Didn't think so. They are doing absolutely nothing wrong by being present and engaging with you. If you do not accept transgender people, mention it clearly without elaboration. For example, "Just so you know, I don't like trans/LGBT people. If that's a dealbreaker for you, you should walk away." This way they (and any trans allies) can walk away. Don't elaborate on your feelings; you might really hurt them, and/or have a drink thrown in your face. For the record, it's not gay people that become transgender to become straight. In fact, it's often the opposite. Sexual orientation and gender identity are completely different. Think of it this way: sexual orientation involves who you want to go to bed with. Gender identity, on the other hand, involves who you go to bed as. Trans people often face ostracism, bullying, abuse, and even violence. It can be hard to tell a safe person from a dangerous one. Especially if they have a history of being hurt, a trans person may be very cautious about coming out to you, because they don't want to risk their life. If the world were a more understanding place, this wouldn't be an issue. They would be happy to share this aspect of their lives with you. If the relationship is going to progress, you will find out. Whether they tell you verbally or you find out physically, it'll happen. And that's fine. You just have to know how it makes you feel and what you'll want to do from there. That's it. It's not gross, it's not bad. It just is. When you hear talk of, "There's something you don't know about me," this could be...

Article in English: Generally, it’s safer to run away from an intruder than to confront them. If someone is in your home, try to exit through a door or window. Then, call the police if you haven’t already. You should still try to escape even if you might get hurt. For instance, there might be a steep drop outside your window, but it’s better to risk an ankle injury than to be trapped with an intruder. If you keep a firearm for self-protection, now is the time to use it. Get your gun and your ammunition as quickly as possible. Load your gun, then prepare yourself to fire it.  It’s still a good idea to hide after you get your gun. The intruder may also have a gun, or they might try to take yours from you. It’s difficult to know how you’ll react when you’re facing a threat. You could freeze up or hesitate, so be cautious about pursuing the intruder. If you have a knife handy, it can be a great weapon to use against an intruder. However, keep in mind that the intruder could use the knife against you. Get the knife only if you’re prepared to defend yourself with it. If you get the knife, take it with you to a hiding spot. That way you can surprise the attacker with it, then run away. If you don’t have a gun or knife, you might be able to use something in your environment as a makeshift weapon. Choose something heavy that’s easy for you to handle. Alternatively, use something like a belt or aerosol spray to fight off the attacker. Here are some great options for weapons:  A bat A frying pan A small statue or bust A wine bottle A lamp A belt A coffee mug Bug spray Try to pick the thickest, heaviest door in your home, if that’s possible. Lock the door, then hide inside the room so it takes the intruder longer to find you. Make as little noise as possible so you won’t be easily detected.  If the intruder is a burglar, they likely won’t try to find you. Generally, burglars want to steal your stuff without a confrontation. Hopefully, the police will arrive before the intruder finds you. If the person breaks in before you have a chance to...

Article in English: Generally, the Secretary of State's office will handle all matters related to incorporation. In some cases, other offices, such as the Business Bureau, may need to be consulted. The Secretary of State's office should be able to direct you more specifically in that case and direct you to the proper forms (which are usually available on the state government website). For any given state, a group of several separate documents (sometimes as many as 10 or 15) make up the articles of incorporation, each with its own particular fee and required information. Since every state differs slightly in the breakdown of paperwork, you need to contact the Secretary of State's office to request the documents. Then, go over the documents with a lawyer and fill them out with the necessary information. All of the necessary paperwork should be available on the Secretary of State's website for self-filing. A corporate lawyer will provide the forms as part the service that he provides. Some forms will have fees attached to them, generally in the neighborhood of $80 to $100 each. Not every form with have an attached fee, but you'll generally pay these at the time of filing with the Secretary of State's office.  Incorporation fees vary from state to state. If you need to rush your paperwork, you can usually do so for an increased fee. You'll also need to file a Statement of Information form in some states. This document must be filed a few months after the initial filing of the articles. Some states require that a Statement of Information form be filed each year following the incorporation. Check the Secretary of State's website to see whether the form is required in your state. This form can usually be submitted online and includes fairly basic information about the corporation; think of it as a company census you must complete every year. It usually includes:  Names and addresses of corporate directors. Members of the board. Vacancies or changes in leadership. Mailing and street address of the corporation  If no changes occurred in...

Article in English: Generally, wearing a T-shirt with a sweater is expected and even necessary. T-shirts work best with sweaters that have higher or more open collars, such as crew necks and turtlenecks. This is a great way to add layers to your outfit without hiding your sweater. However, T-shirts are also useful for preventing a rough sweater from irritating your skin.  Even if your shirt collar isn't visible, the hem might be. Leave a little of the hem visible below your sweater to make it look thicker and brighter. Choose a dark or neutral shirt color, such as white or gray, to complement your sweater. Alternatively, use a brighter color like blue to emphasize contrast for more visual appeal. A collared shirt may seem unexpected, but it is often a valuable article of clothing to make a sweater look dressy. Choose a shirt with a buttoned collar, then tuck it neatly behind your sweater so only the top is visible. If you wish to add a tie, attach it to the buttoned collar and tuck it underneath your sweater as well. Try wearing your classy new look to a professional function.  The collared shirt and tie combo works best with sweaters that have low collars, such as v-necks. Since you're generally trying to look classy when wearing a shirt like this, avoid using it with patterned sweaters. Stick with a light-colored shirt, such as white, so it stands out underneath your sweater. With ties, you could opt for more vibrant colors like red to stand out. Pair your favorite sweater with a nice sports jacket, blazer, or something entirely unexpected. Jackets don't work well with thicker sweaters like cable knit, but they serve as an additional layer for many other types. Wear an open jacket to show off your sweater and any layers you have on underneath it. A jacket keeps you warm while you wear a sweater like a cardigan. It also enables you to style your sweater for specific occasions. Try a leather jacket, a bomber jacket, or even a denim jacket for a more casual look. Coordinate your sweater with some stylish, form-fitting jeans....

Article in English: Generally, you give a milligram per pound of dog. You can give it every 8 hours or so. So if your dog weighs 14 pounds, you can give 14 milligrams of Benadryl every 8 hours. However, it's always best to check with the vet for an appropriate dose.  Using children's Benadryl can make dosing easier, as it comes in smaller doses. In severe allergic reactions, a slightly higher dose may be appropriate, such as 2 milligrams per pound. Pills are usually easiest because most dogs don't like the flavor of the liquid. However, you can use liquid Benadryl (the children's formula). Usually, every 5 milliliters of liquid has 12.5 milligrams of Benadryl. You can give Benadryl without food. However, using food will lessen the chances of drooling and vomiting. Plus, it will make it easier to get your dog to take it. For instance, you can place the pill on a small piece of bread smeared with peanut butter, which your dog will likely gobble down. Another option is to apply the Benadryl to the skin. You can use a spray, cream, or stick. However, be sure not to apply more than a couple of times a day, and don't combine it with oral Benadryl, as that can lead to overdose. It's not as effective as an oral medication, but it can help some. The Benadryl will have little benefit if your dog licks it off. Cover the area with a bandage or put a t-shirt or cone collar on your dog to prevent it from licking the irritated area. While Benadryl is generally safe, any medication can cause a reaction if your dog happens to be allergic to it. Watch for stomach issues such as diarrhea and vomiting. Also notice if your dog is less interested in eating or is having trouble breathing. Agitation or a fast-beating heart is also an issue. Call your vet if you notice any of these side effects. Also, some sleepiness is to be expected with Benadryl. However, if your dog seems excessively lethargic, is having trouble waking up, or is non-responsive, you should call your vet.

Article in English: Genital warts will appear as small pink or red growths or bumps on your sex organs and possibly your anus. You may see or feel genital warts on your vagina, your vulva, your cervix, your anus, your penis, or your urethra. Though rare, you can also develop genital warts on your mouth, lips, tongue, or in your throat. The warts may look similar to the tops of a cauliflower, and they may be tiny or difficult to see. Look for warts in clusters of three or four that appear to be growing and spreading on your body. Though genital warts are not usually painful, they may cause irritation, itching, mild discomfort, and sometimes bleeding due to aggressive scratching. Keep in mind genital warts can develop six weeks to six months after you have been infected, or longer. You may not notice the warts until several weeks after you have had contact  with an infected person, when they are fully developed and the symptoms become apparent. Some people who contract this STI do not display any symptoms and may not be aware they are carrying the disease. This is why it is important to get tested regularly for STIs to ensure you are not unknowingly spreading genital warts. Other infections and conditions can mistakenly be identified as genital warts, such as hemorrhoids, syphilis, pearly penile papules, and skin tags. As well, certain skin cancers can appear as genital warts. The only way to confirm you have genital warts is to get tested by your doctor or healthcare provider.

Article in English: Gentle motion can help calm your fussy baby and may even put him/her right to sleep. Though different forms of motion work best for different babies, you can try a variety of strategies to see what's best for your baby. Though you may be used to the image of a mother and father rocking their children, just make sure you don't put your baby in motion for so long that you get tired. Try some of these motion techniques to help calm your fussy baby:  Bounce and/or rock the baby in your arms Gently pat the baby's back Hold your baby while rocking in a rocking chair Go for a walk with your baby Place the baby in a swing Place your baby on your knees and gently sway him/her from side to side Rock your baby in a cradle if you have one Sit on an exercise ball and bounce up and down while holding your baby Sway with the baby in your arms Take the baby for a car ride Walk slowly around the room with your baby Side lying can be another source of calm and comfort for your baby. To do it properly, just hold your baby at an angle and allow him/her to be on a side. Your baby can stop being fussy simply by changing the way that he/she is lying down. You can do this in your arms as long as you avoid placing the baby on his/her side in his/her crib, or this can cause him/her to roll over on his/her stomach, which will increase the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Making a soothing noise can really help your baby calm down and be less fussy. Just hearing a new sound can make your baby interested and alert and can help alleviate the pain he/she was feeling earlier. You can use your surroundings to find an appropriate noise or sound or you can even do the work yourself. Here are some sounds that may help calm down your fussy baby:  Turning on a white noise machine Soft singing Humming Turning the radio on static Turning on the vacuum in the other room Running a faucet Playing soft music Playing nature sounds Swaddling is a great way to calm your fussy baby; this is because your baby felt warm and comfortable in your...

Article in English: Gently each layer of cake in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for two to three hours, or until it has completely cooled.  You can let the cakes cool at room temperature, but refrigerated cooling is more thorough. Cooled cakes are easier to work with than warm cakes, and you'll likely end up with less mess if you handle the cake once it has cooled instead of handling it while it is warm and soft. A topsy turvy cake must be assembled in a way that keeps the center of gravity positioned above the cake's base of support. Regardless of how you stack the tiers, this physics principle must be kept in mind.  Topsy turvy cakes use a principle known as counterbalance to keep the center of gravity properly positioned. Each wedge of the cake should counter its neighboring wedge so that the weight is distributed evenly throughout the structure.  In other words, the slant of one layer must run at an angle opposite the slant of the second layer. The slant of the third layer should run in the same angle as the first and opposite the second. Don't be afraid to turn your layers upside-down as you stack them, if necessary. As long as each layer is aligned to the center of gravity of the bottom layer, and the weight of each layer balances out the weight of the layers around it, the cake should remain stable and upright. Set the bottom layer down on a large cake board. Spoon a large glob of frosting onto the layer and spread it evenly over the top.  The cake board should be slightly larger than the bottom of the cake. You'll need to be able to lift this board to move the cake around. It is strongly recommended that you "glue" the bottom of the cake to the cake board by spooning 1 to 2 Tbsp (15 to 30 ml) of frosting on the center of the cake board before resting this bottom layer on top. You will need to spoon anywhere from 1 to 1.5 cups (250 to 375 ml) of frosting on top of this bottom layer. You should have a layer of frosting at least 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) once you smooth it out. Position the second layer on top of...
