Article in English: MFi (Made For iDevices) cables are certified by Apple to work with your iOS device, even if they aren't made by Apple itself. MFi-certified cables will not cause your iOS device to stop charging when you use them. While MFi cables are cheaper than Apple cables, they still aren't inexpensive. This box will be somewhere on the packaging of the cable you're trying to purchase; it will say "Made for" followed by the iOS devices it supports (e.g., iPhone, iPad, iPod) and their respective silhouettes. If you don't see "MFi" in the title of the cable and the "Made for" certification somewhere in the packaging, the cable won't work with your iPhone. If you're shopping online and can't see the packaging, consider emailing the provider for more information. If recent reviews mention that the cable stopped working for a new release of iOS, the cable probably won't work. In a traditional retail store, simply ask to talk to the tech department or customer service. If you see positive reviews outside of the site or store in which you found the cable, you should go ahead and purchase it. Otherwise, keep looking for an MFi-certified cable. Some MFi cables that worked with one version of iOS cease working when your iPhone updates. For this reason, try to purchase a cable manufactured recently.

Article in English: Maintaining a healthy diet or weight loss plan in college can be difficult.  This is especially true if friends are not following a healthy diet or lifestyle.  Speaking to a therapist on campus might provide you with additional support and confidence to maintain your healthy eating plan.  Many colleges offer free or very reasonably priced counseling to their students.  Contact your campus health department to find out what type of services are offered and their price. Talk to a behavior therapist about your healthy eating plan, any barriers you have, and what difficulties you're having.  They'll be able to coach, guide, and support you. Sleeping is very important to a healthy weight and helps support weight loss.  Try going to bed early enough that you can get a solid seven to nine hours of sleep prior to waking up for your first class. Adequate sleep also helps with memory, your ability to retain and recall new information, and may help improve your study habits and grades. Whether it's exams, living in close quarters with roommates, or tough classes, there are a variety of reasons for high stress levels in college.  It's important to manage and address your stress, as high levels of stress may cause increased snacking or the consumption of high-fat foods.  If you're noticing increased stress, try to relax and self-soothe with restorative activities like:  yoga, meditation, exercise, talking to a friend or therapist, or listening to music. If you notice you're reaching for food when you're stressed, try to go for healthier snacks instead.  Try: raw carrots and hummus, an apple with peanut butter, or a small greek yogurt. College is a great place to find a variety of friends that share common interests with you.  In addition, many other students might be fighting the same "freshman 15" and will want to get on a healthy eating plan.  Studies have shown that those who have a solid support group have an easier time losing weight and maintaining that weight loss long-term.  They provide you the encouragement and...

Article in English: Maintaining a positive self-image in the face of someone who portrays you as a bad person takes effort. Instead of listening to what the impossible person says, focus on the people who validate you and make you feel good.  Realize that the impossible person wants to hurt you to make themself feel better.  Understand that the impossible person is the problem—not you. This may be difficult because impossible people are good at shifting the blame and making you feel like it is your fault. But if you accept responsibility for your mistakes and flaws and try to improve yourself, there’s a very good chance that you are not the impossible person. When they makes a statement designed to hurt you, realize that all they want is for others to say that they're awesome. Know that you don't require validation like that. If the insults have no basis in fact, just dismiss them. You are not as bad as the impossible person would like you and everyone else to believe. Impossible people will often find ways to use personal information, even if it seems petty and small, against you. They can fabricate entire stories and paint you as being an awful person based on a simple comment you made. As specialists in manipulation, impossible people are also very good at getting you to open up and tell them things. Don’t tell impossible people anything personal, even if they seem normal or act like a friend to you at times. Things you say or share in confidence can suddenly come back to haunt you unexpectedly in your personal or professional life. Be a “possible” person—make yourself and your life an example of tolerance, patience, humility and kindness. Always try to be the reasonable one. Consider all sides of the story before coming to conclusions.  Just as bad behavior can influence us negatively, behaving like a tolerant, patient and kind person can sometimes influence another for the better. Recognize that you aren’t perfect. You don't have to do everything right all the time, but do try your best. Be respectful, and if you don’t...

Article in English: Maintaining a yard is important for people, but finding the time to do so can be difficult. If you are old enough to do the maintenance around your own yard, offer to do work for neighbors at a reasonable price (either hourly rates or a flat-rate for duties). Fortunately, the different times of the year will leave various jobs and tasks for you to do.  Rake the leaves and clean gutters during fall. Shovel snow in the early mornings during winter. Water and mow the yard during the hot seasons. Sitting services for your family and neighbors often means watching after people, pets, and things. Each form of sitting takes a lot of responsibility and experience that usually starts at home. Pick the sitting that you have the most comfort and experience with.  If you have all the responsibilities of the family pet, offer pet sitting to neighbors, especially during holidays; you can also help with taking dogs for walks. House sitting is common during holidays as well. You can take out trash, check mail, turn on/off house lights, and other house-care jobs for a neighbor or relative who is out of town. Baby sit younger siblings for your parents or sit for your neighbors and family. This type of sitting takes a lot of responsibility and trust. Be sure to pick this option with proper guidance and experience. Assisting others with house work can earn you some cash. Check with neighbors who are very busy to see if they'd be willing to pay you for services; anything from house cleaning to taking out the trash can be a good help to others. Also, check to see if any elderly individuals live in your neighborhood. Many elderly need extra help for very common tasks such as checking the mail, cleaning dishes, or tiding up around the house. Try to be creative with the types of services to offer (buying groceries, repainting rooms, hanging up pictures, preparing meals, decorating for holidays). Trying to earn cash can also mean helping out the environment. Even though some cities have a regular recycling pickup for aluminum cans,...

Article in English: Maintaining good posture while you sit, walk and sleep is probably the most important thing you can do for the health of your spine. Many people have sedentary jobs where they sit for most of the day, so the height, comfort and support of chairs are crucial. Make sure your office chair is adjustable (so you can customize it to your dimensions) and try to get one with lumbar support for your low back. At home, use cushions to support your back and prop your legs up while watching television.  Try not to cross your legs or feet when you sit because it makes your hips unlevel and puts a strain on your lower back. Make sure your computer screen is at eye level and centred in front of your chair, otherwise, you'll strain your neck and possible develop an abnormal curvature. Your feet are crucial for good posture because they are the foundation for your entire body. As such, wear sturdy shoes with good arch support, a slightly raised heel (1/2 – 3/4 of an inch) and plenty of room for your toes. In contrast, avoid regularly wearing high-heeled shoes because they affect the body's center of gravity and induce compensatory alignment of the entire body — they can cause too much extension (called hyperlordosis) in the lumbar spine.  If you are really heavy, have flat feet or a short leg, then consider getting orthotics (custom-made shoe inserts) of heel lifts. Orthotics promote a healthy spine by supporting the arches and allowing better biomechanics when running or walking. Orthotics are made by podiatrists, medical specialists and some chiropractors. You likely spend at least 1/3 of your life in your bed, so pay a little more attention to the quality of your mattress and how you sleep on it. For most people, firm mattresses are the best strategy in order to provide the necessary support for their spine. Memory foam top covers may also be helpful. You should consider changing mattresses every eight to 10 years. The thickness of your pillow should match the distance from the side of your head to the tip of your shoulder...

Article in English: Maintaining your regular skincare routine can help you avoid flare ups while traveling. You may need to tweak your routine slightly based on the destination, but continue to cleanse, moisturize, and descale plaque psoriasis as usual.  Switch to a heavier cream if you are at a cooler, drier destination and apply as necessary. You may want to use lighter creams and moisturizers in warmer, more humid places. Carry a couple of soft washcloths or towels with you to avoid irritating your skin. You can also use your hands to lather up without rubbing too harshly. One thing that can happen as a result of too much sun exposure or damage to your skin from a scrape or scratch is the formation of psoriasis plaque at the injured site. Protecting your skin at your destination can minimize the risk of developing new psoriasis or causing existing patches to flare up.  Cover your skin with loose, comfortable clothing. If you’re in a cold climate, layer clothing for warmth and natural moisture. Apply sunscreen every couple of hours to prevent sunburn. Use a water-resistant sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection of SPF 30 or higher. Keeping your skin moisturized can minimize flare-ups and itching. Protect your skin with a layer or moisturizer in the morning and evening. Apply lotion or cream if you notice any flare-ups or itching during the day. Carrying a small bottle of lotion with you can help until you return to the hotel. Minimize the risk of spreading potential infections on your hands by washing or sanitizing them before applying your lotion. Even with moisturized skin, you may experience some itching. Keeping a dose or two of antihistamine with you at all times can help control itching. It may prevent scratching and tearing of your skin, too. Travel should be enjoyable; however, sometimes you may run into situations, such as canceled flights or being in a huge crowd, that stress you. This can trigger a psoriasis flare up. Managing your stress during your trip can help you enjoy yourself and minimize the risk of a...

Article in English: Make a detailed list of what you do each day, including the time you're on the phone, when you're emailing, and the time you spend working with clients. You can even time yourself for a couple of days to see how much time you spend on each task each day.  It can help to mark a percentage for each task. You can take an average over a week, especially if you don't do the same tasks every day. For instance, maybe you spend fifty percent of your time on the phone, thirty percent of your time working on reports and spreadsheets, ten percent on emails, and ten percent in meetings. Decide which tasks would be easier to do at home, as well as which would be more difficult. Some tasks may be equal at home and in the office. Then, come up with solutions to make the tasks that are more difficult at home easier. For instance, if one problem is collaborating with coworkers, find good software that would still allow you to collaborate easily. Another point that can bolster your case is bringing in examples from the past of how responsible you are. Good examples include being on time, not missing too many days of work, and hitting your deadlines. Also, any projects you showed self-initiative on may be helpful to bring up. Not everyone has the right temperament for working from home. If you thrive on being around people, it may not be right for you. Similarly, working from home means you must create your own structure, which some people have difficulty with. You may decide that you won't do well working from home.

Article in English: Make a fire pit at least 5 feet (1.5 m) away from your shelter by digging a hole 2 feet (0.61 m) long by 2 feet (0.61 m) wide by 6 inches (15 cm) deep with a rock and circling the edge of the hole with stones. Once you’ve dug your fire pit, form a small pile of leaves or pine needles as your kindling. Find a piece of hardwood or rock that has a divot in it for the top of your drill to rest in. Then, find a piece of softwood and carve a hole through it with a sharp rock. Create a triangular cut from the edge of the softwood to the hole, with the point of the triangle at the hole. Find a green, pliable branch and tie one of your shoestrings to either end of it to form a bow. Then find a hardwood stick approximately .75 inches (1.9 cm) in diameter to serve as your drill.  If you don’t have shoelaces and you’re in a forested area, you can create a string by digging into a tree with a rock to the fibrous inner layer, pulling out the fibers, and tying them together.  If you’re not in a forested area and need string, you can create it by cutting off bits of your hair and tying them together.  If you don’t have enough hair, you can make a string by tying together pieces of brush. Position your softwood in your firepit so that the kindling fills the triangular cut on the edge. Then, put your drill in the hole with the string of your bow wrapped around it in a single loop with the bow parallel to the ground. Hold the softwood firmly with your foot and place the top of the drill in the divot of the hardwood or rock you found to hold it securely in position. Then draw the bow back and forth so that the drill spins and creates friction on the softwood and makes a spark.  After several minutes of vigorous sawing, you should start to see smoke. Once you do, you can blow on the kindling gently to encourage the spark to spread.  Once your kindling has started burning, form a pyramid around it with twigs and bark in the center, then build another pyramid around that with small branches, and a final pyramid around the whole...

Article in English: Make a lengthwise cut through the lime just to the side of the stem. Set the smaller piece aside. Lay the larger piece on its rind and make another lengthwise cut through the lime just to the side of the stem. Repeat on the opposite side, then flip the lime a quarter turn and make another lengthwise cut through the lime just to the side of the stem.  You should have one rectangular core piece and four oval-ish pieces of lime. To prevent accidents, practice safe knife skills in the kitchen. Hold a piece of lime over a small bowl and use your fingers to squeeze the rind to extract the juice from the flesh. Repeat on the other three cut pieces of lime. The juice should run down into the bowl, rather than squirting sideways, due to the strategic way you cut up the lime. After squeezing the juice out of the cut pieces of lime, move on to the core. Hold the core lengthwise over the bowl by each green end. Twist the core, like you would wring a wet rag, until all the juice comes out.

Article in English: Make a list of 10 situations that cause you anxiety. Rank them, placing the most stressful at the top. Starting at the bottom, try to gradually face each anxiety-inducing situation.  Wait until you feel moderately comfortable with the previous situation before moving to the more stressful one. You want to overcome your anxiety, not increase it. This list may take awhile to get through, and that's okay. You may never reach number 10. But if you have conquered 1-7, you have made your social phobia significantly more manageable. If you feel you are struggling through this, contact a mental health professional who can offer you support while you attempt to face each fear on your list. Getting over your social anxiety may seem like a nebulous process. How do you know if you are getting better? Just putting yourself in social situations isn't enough. That might be step 1, but after that, you need to work on interacting more. Make goals for yourself for each social outing. As you accomplish your goals, you can start to see progress and improvement in yourself.  Make small talk with people you see often, such as employees, schoolmates, or other people that you come in contact with. This may be just a comment on the weather, your homework or work project, or the meeting you had earlier. Start by giving yourself a goal of speaking to one person once a week. Then increase it to every day, or speaking to multiple people in one day. Make a goal to make one comment in class or in your meeting. Don't worry about what everyone else thinks. Focus on the fact that you did it. That is progress. If you are in a group setting, make a pact with yourself to say at least 3 comments in the conversation. Ask someone to dinner. It can be as a friend or as a date. Don't focus on the response - only focus on the fact that you were assertive and asked. This helps you focus on the task and the goal, not the nerves. The idea here is to get control of the situation. You know you can control what you do, what you say, and what you ask. You...

Article in English: Make a list of questions you could ask your character, or look for a list online. Then, go through the list and answer each question as your character. Base the answers on your character’s background, their personality, and what they want.  Questions might include, “What’s your favorite food?” “Do you have a pet?” “What is your relationship like with your family?” “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” “What is your earliest memory?” “What is your dream job?” “Who is your most trusted confidant?” and “What’s in your bedroom?” As an example, Alice might say that her favorite food is homemade kettle corn because she likes the salty-sweet taste. She might also say that she has a black cat and an orange cat that act as her familiars. Give your character an accent or speech pattern that shows their background or personality. Additionally, use words and sentence structures that reflect your character's level of education and place in society. This will help your audience learn more about your character through their speech. As an example, Alice might include old fashioned words in her speech and may occasionally rhyme due to her experience making spells. She might say things like, "The forest has darkened a wee bit early, but that's no reason for you to get surly." You can learn a lot from a person by watching how they go about their life. This includes activities like cooking, eating, cleaning, driving a car, or talking to a receptionist. Explore how your character acts in these moments to help their character development.  For instance, Alice might clean her house and cook her breakfast using a spell. Then, you might have her struggle to purchase items at a store because she can’t use her magic there. This shows that she overly relies on her magic. As another example, you might show Alice trying to check out a magic book from the library. She might blush and mumble when she talks to the clerk and have trouble making eye contact. This shows that she’s shy. Real people have opinions, so your character should, as...

Article in English: Make a noise that will make your dog bark, such as knocking on the door. After he starts barking, praise your dog and give him a reward. By following up his behavior with some praise, you will be letting your dog know that his behavior is good. Next, add a cue or label to the barking, such as “Speak.” Say this cue the next time you tap on the door to help your dog associate the behavior with the word. Make sure that you reward and praise him as well. When your dog stops barking, praise and reward him so he knows that being quiet is also good. If your dog does not stop barking, then you can distract him with a few small treats until he quiets down. Feed him pieces of a cut-up hot dog or some other small treat one at a time to keep him quiet. The next time that you practice this command with your German shepherd, add the word "Quiet" to help him associate the behavior with the word. When German shepherd stops barking, then say “quiet” as soon as he stops and the give him his reward and praise. If your dog needs to be distracted with treats, then say “quiet” as you are feeding him the treats. You will need to practice these commands with your German shepherd every day so that he will understand what you want him to do. Set aside a daily time slot of about 10-20 minutes to work on training. After a while, try giving the cue word only to trigger the behavior. Start with "Speak" and when he starts barking, praise him and give him his reward. Then, say "Quiet" and reward the silence.

A journal can also help you keep yourself accountable as you develop new, healthy eating habits.  Keep track of all your food and beverages for at least one week.  Try to be as accurate as you can when you're tracking your food.  Even a few bites while you prepare meals should be accounted for. Don't forget to track how many ounces of clear, hydrating fluids you drink.  This is an area that's also an important part of healthy eating.

Article in English: Make an appointment with your doctor if you feel that something is "out of whack" with your hormones. Blood tests can identify hormone imbalance. The classic signs of too much estrogen are hot flashes and emotional outbursts, but symptoms related to too much testosterone may be less noticeable and take more time to develop. Genetics and unknown environmental factors trigger certain glands (ovaries, pituitary and adrenal glands) to malfunction, leading to excessive testosterone production.  Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is often the result of too much testosterone production in women — it can develop at any age post puberty. PCOS develops because the testosterone prevents the release of eggs from their follicles within the ovaries. Since the follicles can't open, eggs and fluid collects within the ovaries, forming what appears to be numerous cysts.  In addition to lack of menstruation and PCOS, other symptoms of excessive testosterone production include hirsutism (increased hair growth), enhanced aggression and libido, increased muscle mass, clitoral growth, acne development, deepening voice, and darkening or thickening of the skin. Type 2 diabetes is characterized by reduced cellular sensitivity to the effects of insulin. Type 2 diabetes is often triggered by obesity and results in an over-production of insulin, which can cause the ovaries to produce more testosterone. Thus, obesity, type 2 diabetes (insulin resistance), high testosterone production and PCOS often occur together within women if given enough time to develop. Your doctor can test your insulin and blood glucose levels to see if you have or are at risk of developing diabetes.  Type 2 diabetes can be prevented and even reversed with weight loss, regular exercise and dietary changes (such as less processed carbohydrates and harmful hydrogenated fats). Your physician may prescribe medication that reduces insulin resistance, such as metformin (Glucophage) or pioglitazone (Actos). These medications can normalize insulin and testosterone levels,...

Article in English: Make eye contact with people you know as well as strangers. Introduce yourself if you haven't met before, but only offer your first and last name at first. Simply say, “Hi, I'm ___  ____.” Then wait for the other person to speak. Stopping at your name will make you seem more confident and intriguing. Gesticulating will keep you from doing things like putting your hands into your pockets or fidgeting. These gestures demonstrate nervousness and gesticulating while you talk will have the opposite effect. You will seem more confident and powerful by using your hands while you talk. Pick something that is at eye level. If you begin to feel nervous, look at this spot to keep yourself from looking down at the floor. If you begin to feel overwhelmed or anxious, force yourself to take five deep breaths. Breathing deeply will not only calm you down, it will also increase your alertness so that you can continue to be at your best. If you are giving a presentation, take five deep breaths right before you begin to speak.  Try slowing down your speech by about half a second. This will help you breathe deeper and sound more calm as you speak. Practice by reading a book out loud and going just a little slower than you normally would. When you are meeting new people, the best way to keep the conversation going is to ask questions and listen intently. Ask things like, “What do you do?” “What do you think of the party?” “What are you working on currently?” “Where are you from?”

Article in English: Make it a part of their daily life. You can buy CD's by great artists like Horowitz or Rubinstein and have your child listen to them. There's nothing better than the moment when your child says, "Wow! I want to be like [insert pianist name here]!" When that happens, tell your child that the pianist put a lot of work into developing his skill. She/he should practice on his/her own then! If not, tell him/her that pianist practiced a lot too. If you listen to rap music, for example, your child is going to listen to rap music too. Then, he/she may get influenced by rap music. After, your child will like the piano less. So, you should listen to piano music as much as possible. If your budget permits, you may want to consider buying some sheet music. If your child is interested in piano, s/he will be further spurred to learn when you spend your money on books for him/her. It's like getting a 1st grader to read. If you buy the 1st grader a book, she/he will probably read it. There's no difference with piano music. Music is like a language. It's only interesting when you learn to speak it. That's what it was like to great composers like Chopin and Beethoven. Compare this to TV. Would it interest you if you watched the Spanish channel but understood no Spanish at all? Your child's interest in piano could be greatly increased if he/she understood what it was about. Find a strict teacher who at least has the knowledge to say, "You need to practice at least an hour a day". Once your child gets skilled at piano, he/she will want to continue! If you were really good at tennis, wouldn't you want to keep playing it given the opportunity to do so? With a good teacher, a child can progress extremely quickly. However, find a bad one, and you'll find your child making little progress.

Article in English: Make multiplication cards for each number set. Although this may seem tedious, the process of making the cards will actually help you to learn them. Once you’ve made them, spend some time each day studying until you know them all.  Focus on one number set at a time. When you go through the cards, put the ones you get wrong back into the pile so you see them multiple times. Once you have mastered the flash cards, try your hand at some worksheets. Start by practicing with one number set at a time. When you have mastered all of them, try worksheets that mix up all of the number sets and see how you do. If you know your tests will be timed in school, try practicing with a timer. There are multiplication albums that sing the times tables. You can listen along and learn the times tables through music instead of rote memorization. Listen to a few different versions and find one that works best for you. Add in hand motions or dance moves that illustrate the different number pairs to make the process more interactive. A mnemonic is a special technique or learning device that helps you remember something. Stories like Times Tales can help you memorize your multiplication facts by associating the numbers with silly characters and stories.  Phrases like 5 6 7 8, 56 equals 7 times 8 are also useful.  There are many ways to memorize things, you just need to find the way that works best for you. After mastering all of the fact families, play math games to build up speed. There are many games available online to help you master your fact families and go through them quickly.  Math games are a more exciting and interactive way for children to learn the multiplication tables. Some math games include visual aids and other graphics to help you relate the numbers together.

Article in English: Make something old new again by reviving a nickname that used to be popular, but has since fallen out of use. For example, “Slick”, “Skippy”, or “Biff” for boys and “Dottie”, or “Kittie” for girls were popular in the 1940s and 1950s. During the Victorian Era, examples of popular nicknames for girls include “Josie”, “Millie”, and “Maisie”, and for boys “Fritz”, “Augie”, and “Zeb”. Look for inspiration from old TV shows or movies. For example, character nicknames on the “The Little Rascals”(1922-1944) include Alfalfa, Junior, Froggy, Pineapple, and Buckwheat. The popular musical and movie “Grease” (1978) includes members of the “Pink Ladies” (Rizzo, Frenchy, and Marty) and the “T-Birds” (Doody and Kenickie). Find inspiration from where you’re from or what you do. For example, people from Indiana are often called “Hoosiers” and “Yinzer” is a nickname for people from Pittsburgh, PA. If you like to cook, you can go by “Chef”, “Mustang” if you like cars (you can use any type of car, this is just an example), or “Owl” if they like to read (or really like owls). Use sports references. Think of a nickname associated with your favorite player. If you play a sport, think of cool nicknames for everyone on the team based on their strengths. See if any of the names stick. You can also think of a unique or uncommon way of creating a nickname from someone’s name, such as “Resa” from Theresa, “Elle” from Michelle, or “Ober” from Robert. Also, consider pronouncing someone’s name backwards, such as calling Katie “Eitak” or Brian “Nairb”. Finally, you can call someone by their middle name. Famous celebrities, such as Katy Perry, Demi Moore, and Reese Witherspoon go by their middle name or mother’s maiden name. If you are, or want to become a musician, it is important to have a memorable nickname. Having a stage name is important if you want to protect your identity, or your name is difficult to pronounce. Unlike other types of nicknames, a stage name is your specific brand.  A good stage name is short, easy to pronounce, and...

Article in English: Make sure all spectators are at a safe distance away from the launch pad and your tracers are in position to find the rocket once it lands. Also, check again for any flammable debris or other obstructions to the rocket's trajectory. First, disconnect the safety cap off of the launch rod and slide the rocket on. The rod should go through a cylindrical piece on the side of  the rocket called the launch lug.  The rocket should rest on the deflector plate of the launch pad. Be sure that the hole in your launch lug is clear and slides easily onto the pole on the launch pad.  Angle your rocket away from any area you would not want it to land in. Connect the clips from the controller to the igniter wires. Don't let the clips or the wires touch each other. This can cause a failed ignition. Place your key in the launch controller. Use a countdown and press the button to launch your rocket at the appropriate time. A common type of countdown that is used by model rocket enthusiasts is: "5... 4... 3... 2... 1... LAUNCH!" When you reach "LAUNCH", press the button. If your rocket launch fails, check that your connection between the controller and igniter is secure. There are a number of other reasons why an igniter might fail. Here are some common troubleshooting tips:   Inspect the igniter wires where they protrude from the tip of the pyrogen. They shouldn't touch each other. If they are touching or close to touching, you can adjust them. When placing the igniter into the rocket, turn the rocket upside down so the nozzle is pointing up. Then drop the igniter into the nozzle. Gravity will help the tip of the igniter to touch the propellant, which is necessary for proper ignition. Each igniter comes with its own plug to hold it into place. Press the ignitor plug down hard into the nozzle on the igniter. Make sure the igniter clips are clean before you hook them up to the igniter wires. Dirty clips are a common problem and can prevent a good electrical connection from taking place. When you attach the clips, attach them as...

Article in English: Make sure that it fits securely. Shake the canister a few times. Check the directions to make sure that you are holding the canister correctly. At the same time, press down on the other nostril with your finger. Close your mouth, and push the canister down just as you slowly breathe in through the one nostril receiving the medicine. Make sure that you take in the medicine. Do the same with the other nostril, making sure that you press down the nostril that just received the medicine. Do not take more than the specified amount of sprays. Don't sniff or inhale too hard or the medicine may drip down the back of your throat. If this happens, try to spit it out. Try to wait a few minutes to let the medication fully absorb first. After you have finished using your nasal spray, it is advisable to wash your hands again. Particularly if you are using a nasal spray temporarily to treat congestion from an illness, you will want to wash your hands to ensure that minimal germs are present on your hands. This helps to prevent others from catching your infection. Many nasal sprays take consistent use before they become maximally effective. Wait at least 2 weeks (or whatever time-frame your doctor recommends, as it can vary depending on the type of medication) before evaluating the results of using the spray.  Do not take more than the recommended number of doses prescribed by your physician. Just like any other prescription medication, if you find that it is ineffective (or taking longer than you expected or hoped to work) that does not mean to double up on your dose. It could be dangerous to do so, so be sure to stick within the recommended limits of your doctor. The dosing of nasal sprays is variable and will depend upon what medication is contained within it.

Article in English: Make sure that the coconut oil is solid, preferably straight from the fridge. If the coconut oil is soft, it will not whip properly. If you cannot find vitamin E oil in a bottle, you can use about 4 capsules of the oil instead. Pierce or open up the capsules, and empty the oil into the bowl. This is not absolutely necessary, but it will give the lotion a nice fragrance. You can use all one type of oil, or you can combine a few different oils and make your own, unique fragrance. From time-to-time, scrap down the sides of the bowl. Continue mixing until the oil turns light, airy, and fluffy. Depending on how cold it was to begin with, it may form peaks like buttercream frosting, or it may turn smooth.

Article in English: Make sure that the deodorant stick is clear. Some deodorants say that they "go on clear," but they are not actually clear and may leave stains. Try using a "crystal deodorant." It is made with potassium aluminum sulfate or mineral salts. It won't keep sweat at bay, but it can make an effective deodorants. Crystal deodorants won't leave any marks on clothes. If you sweat a lot, however, you may see some sweat stains. Deodorants with these ingredients tend to cause more stains than others. Alcohols can also appear as fragrance; if you are using a scented deodorant, check the ingredient list to make sure that it does not contain alcohol. If you roll on a thick layer of deodorant, the excess will rub off onto your shirt and leave a stain. The next time you wear deodorant, try using a little less, and see if that helps. Some stains don't show up until after they dry. Once dry, the stain will become harder to remove. If you are wearing an expensive shirt or a uniform, wear a thin, short-sleeved shirt underneath. This will protect your more-expensive shirt from stains.

Article in English: Make sure that the graham crackers are finely ground first; they should be the same texture as the ground pecans. Stir everything together with a rubber spatula until the mixture is damp and evenly combined. You can easily grind the graham crackers in a blender or food processor. You can also put them into a plastic bag and smash them with a rolling pin. Pack the crust down using your fingers. When you are done, place the pan into the fridge so that it can set while you prepare the filling. You can do this by hand in a mixing bowl, but a food processor or electric mixer will speed up the process. Keep mixing until everything is blended together. There should be no streaks or swirls of egg yolk. Use a large spoon to scoop the filling into the crust. Gently smooth the top down with a spoon or spatula when you are done. Once the cake is set, take it out of the oven and place it on a cooling rack. Let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes; do not open the pan yet.  You can save time by starting to prepare the cheesecake topping while the cake cools. Don't turn off the oven yet! You will need to bake the cake for another 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, briskly whisk together the sugar, sour cream, and vanilla until everything is evenly combined. This will create a creamy topping for your cheese cake. Use a rubber spatula to help spread it across the top of the cake evenly, if necessary. Once the cake has finished baking, take it out of the even and let it cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the inside edge of the pan to loosen the cake, but don't open the pan yet. Let the cake cool for about 1 hour, then chill it in the fridge for 24 hours. Place a saucepan on the stove, and stir together the water and cornstarch. Add the jelly, and cook it over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened.

Article in English: Make sure that the hangers don't have that horizontal bar at the bottom for hanging pants. Try to get the kind of hanger that is made out of 2 pieces of wood and has a joint in the top, where the metal hook is. The joint will make it easier to insert the screw later on.  Plain wooden hangers will work the best, but you can try fabric-covered ones too. Plan on getting between 4 and 6 hangers--1 for each bra. Keep in mind that this only works with strapped bras, not strapless. Wrap a piece of painter's tape or masking tape around the metal hook first. Spray the hanger and let it dry, then flip it over and spray the back. Let it dry completely before removing the tape. You can make the hangers all the same color, or you can paint them different colors for a multicolor or ombre effect.  Don't paint fabric-covered hangers. Shake the can of spray paint well before you use it. Hold the can 8 to 10 inches (20 to 25 cm) from the wood. Spray the hangers with a clear acrylic sealer for a more durable finish. Turn the first hanger upside down so that you can see the underside. Find the joint where the 2 pieces come together, then screw a metal eye hook into the joint. Do this for all of the hangers, except for the last one.  The eye hook needs to be big enough for the hook part of the hanger to fit through. If your hanger is made from a solid piece of wood, you'll have to drill a hole into the underside of the hanger first. Make sure that the eye hook is oriented perpendicular to the hanger. You should not see the front O part of it, but the side. Most eye hooks are closed so that they form a complete O-shape. Some eye hooks are open, so that form a question mark shape instead. If your hook is like the latter, pinch it closed with a pair of heavy-duty pliers. Make sure that you hang it high enough so that you can fit the other hangers under it. You'll need about 12 inches (30 cm) of space beneath the last hanger. Slide the hook at the top of each hanger through the eye hook you installed at the bottom of each hanger. Add...

Article in English: Make sure that the mint is spread out in a single layer. Do not let separate stems or leaves touch. If you do, they may become frozen together.  You can also use a cookie sheet or casserole pan for this. Generally, you should not wash the mint before you store it. If you do, pat it dry completely with paper towels. Extra water can cause it to freeze improperly. Make sure that nothing is on top of the mint or touching it. This will help the mint freeze without being crushed or stuck together. Take the tray out of the freezer. Remove the mint from the tray and move it into a freezer bag. At this point, the mint can be touching since the stems and leaves are already frozen. You can use a plastic food storage container if it is marked for freezer use. That said, you may not be able to get rid of all of the air in the container, and the mint might not fit as well into the container. There are many ways to do this. You can squeeze out the air by pressing down on the bag while you seal it. Alternatively, try sucking out the air with a straw before quickly zipping the bag. If you have a vacuum sealer, use it for the best results. The date will tell you how old the mint is and when you may need to toss it. Place the mint on a freezer shelf. Make sure that nothing is on top of the mint. You do not need to defrost or thaw mint before using it in recipes. You do not need to thaw or rinse mint before cooking. It will taste better and preserve its texture if you just toss it into your recipe frozen. If you want to use fresh mint without cooking, you can defrost it on your counter for a few hours. Place a paper towel underneath to help drain it. Afterwards, gently rinse it by dipping it into a bowl of water. Mint will only last for about 6 months in the freezer. Toss any leftover mint you have at this point. Mint that has freezer burn or appears discolored should not be used. Toss the mint out if it looks bad.

Article in English: Make sure that the rack is located in the center of the oven. . If you have not yet done so, chop off the leaves, and discard them promptly in the trash. Then, trim the bottom off of the stalks, and rinse them well. Pat the stalks dry, then chop them into ¼ to ½-inch (0.64 to 1.27 centimeters) long pieces. Be sure to cut the leaves off completely. While the stalk is edible, the leaves themselves are toxic, and can make you very sick. Place the rhubarb into a medium-sized mixing bowl, then add 1¼ cups (280 grams) of granulated sugar and ¼ cup (25 grams) of all-purpose flour. If you'd like to add a hint of extra flavor to your filling, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and/or ¼ teaspoon of ground cardamom or cinnamon. Stir everything together with a rubber spatula until the rhubarb is evenly coated. Make sure that the mixture gets into the corners of the dish as well. Set the dish aside while you prepare the crumble topping. In a clean mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup (100 grams) of all-purpose flour, 1 cup (200 grams) of light brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt. If you own a food processor, you can save lots of time by pulsing the ingredients in it for a few seconds. If you are using a food processor to do this, pulse it a few times until you get pea-sized clumps. If you don't own a food processor, you can cut the ingredients together using two knives or a pastry cutter. Make sure that the topping mixture is spread evenly across the top of the rhubarb. You don't want to see any gaps. It is ready when the filling turns bubbly and the topping golden brown. You can serve it as is, or you can garnish it with some whipped cream or even vanilla ice cream.

Article in English: Make sure that the rack is positioned in the center of the oven. The kiełbasa should fit comfortably in the dish. If it is too big and presses up against the sides, cut it in half or into thirds. Do not slice the kiełbasa; if your recipe calls for sliced kiełbasa, wait until it is done cooking before slicing it.  The types of kiełbasa that work best for baking are cooked biała (white) kiełbasa and zwyczajna (regular) kiełbasa. You do not need to bake dried kiełbasa, such as kabanos. If you wish to bake biała (white) kiełbasa, you should cook it first. Use a meat thermometer to test the temperature; it needs to read at least 160°F (72°C). To help the kiełbasa cook more evenly, use a pair of tongs to turn it every 5 minutes or so. Consider adding other tasty extras, such as sliced onions, potatoes, carrots, or other vegetables. You can serve the kiełbasa as is, or use it in other traditional Polish dishes, such as bigos or żurek. You can also serve it alongside some "kapusta" or sauerkraut.

Article in English: Make sure that the spraying straw is attached to your WD-40 before you use it so that you can be in control of the application. Spray the WD-40 all over the stained area. Then, let it sit for 15-30 minutes. Hairspray can be applied in the same way that WD-40 is applied to help remove a good portion of the oil stain. Aim the can nozzle at the oily spots and press down to release the hairspray until the stains are completely coated. Leave your jeans alone for a few minutes. Because it’s made to cut through grease on your dishes, a dish washing liquid, such as Dawn, can help to remove oil from your jeans. Simply squirt the liquid onto all of the affected areas. Many shampoos, especially those made for people with oily hair, strip out natural oils in order to give the hair a cleaner appearance. Completely cover the stained area in shampoo to try to strip the oil out of your jeans. With either the dish soap or the shampoo still on the stain, scrub at the area to remove as much as the oil as you can. Move the toothbrush in circular motions as you do this. After scrubbing, take your jeans to the sink or tub and run some hot water. Hold the jeans underneath the water and rinse off the stained area until all of the suds are gone.

Article in English: Make sure that the stem part is facing upwards. This will make coring the tomato easier. If you’re working with large roma or beefsteak tomatoes, you’ll have to remove the core before slicing. If you’re working with small cherry or grape tomatoes, this step is unnecessary and you can skip ahead to the next step.  Place your thumb right below the edge of a knife, preferable a small paring knife. Use your non-cutting hand to grab the base of the tomato, and stabilize your hand against the cutting board. Place your knife’s tip slightly to the side of the core. Push your knife into the tomato about 1/4”-1/2” deep. Cut out a small circle by twisting your knife. Pull up to remove the core. Now that the core is removed, your tomato will have a flatter top. Turn your tomato upside down so that it faces the cutting board and gives you a stable base. Using a sharp chef's knife or a serrated knife, make one long cut from top to the bottom so that your tomato is divided into two even hemispheres.  This will make slicing much easier, but if you want whole tomato slices, you can omit this step and skip ahead to the slicing part. Place the cut side down, facing the cutting board. The following steps will help you make safe, even cuts across your tomato. If you are slicing a whole tomato, you can still follow the same steps.  Place your non-cutting hand on the left side of the tomato (if you are cutting with your right hand). Curl up your fingers into a claw shape and press your fingers tips lightly on the tomato. This type of grip helps to stabilize the tomato and prevent you from cutting yourself. Place the tip of the knife on the cutting board behind the right most side of the tomato. Keeping the knife tip on the cutting board, drag your knife straight down and through the tomato. A sharp knife will make cutting easier. Once you are through to the other side, lift up the knife. Reposition your knife at the top of the tomato, about 1/4-1/2” to the left of your last cut, depending on how thick you want your slices. Repeat...

Article in English: Make sure that the tripe is completely covered by the water. This ensures that all of the tripe is being sufficiently soaked. Pour some cold water into the pot and bring it to the boil.   Allow the tripe to boil for between 30 and 45 minutes. Add a tablespoon of salt for every liter of water in the pot. Boiling the tripe is important as it removes any dangerous bacteria from the tripe. It also makes the tripe easier to cut and slice later, as well as reducing the cooking time when preparing the meal. Use cold water to wash the tripe. Rigorously and repeatedly rinsing the tripe is very important to ensuring the tripe is as clean as it can be. Then place the tripe back in the pot. Allow the tripe to simmer in the pot for 2 to 3 hours. The water will slowly evaporate so remember to occasionally add water into the pot to keep the tripe covered.

Article in English: Make sure that you and your spouse or any co-parents in the home are in agreement with the rules. It is very important everyone is on the same page with discipline so that your children are unable to split or divide parents and caretakers.  You can include your children in making some of the rules. It’s important that children feel like they are a part of family decisions. However, don’t be afraid to be firm about the important issues. For example, if your teenager needs to be home by 11 pm don’t allow him/her to argue his way into a 2 am curfew. It is important to communicate your expectations regarding your child’s behavior with relatives, babysitters, and other caregivers outside of the home. If the caregiver is unable or unwilling to adhere to your behavioral expectations with your child, then you should consider putting your child in the care of someone whose parenting beliefs better align with yours. After a rule is finalized, it’s very important to be clear about the expectations so that rules are clearly understood. Make sure that the rules are explained when your children are calm and be sure to use language that they can easily understand. Trying to explain your expectations when your child is upset or tired will not really be helpful. You should be calm and well-rested when having this discussion as well.  Make sure that the rules are concrete and specific so that there is no room for misinterpretation. For example, it’s better to tell your ten-year-old, “Be home by 7 pm” instead of “Be home before it gets dark.” Make sure that the rules are explained in advance. Try not to only discuss rules after one is broken. Instead, explain them in advance, even if it means repeating yourself. For instance, you could say, “We walk when we are at the pool” before arriving at the pool. Try to word rules in an affirmative manner. For instance, you would want to say, “We walk when we are at the pool” rather than “Don’t run while at the pool.” Be consistent with the rules so that your children can clearly...

Article in English: Make sure that you are using a pair of heavy-duty wire cutters. Memory wire is very strong, and it can damage a more delicate pair of beading or jewelry wire cutters. Do not cut the three coils apart; this will make one napkin ring. Pinch the end of the memory wire with the tip of your pliers. Wrap the wire over the top of the pliers forming a loop. Make sure that you are bending the loop back towards the arch of the wire. You can use any type of beads you'd like. You can even play around with different shapes, sizes, and colors. For a more professional look, work in odd numbers for each design. For example, you could have three seed beads, and one large, brown bead, followed by three more blue seed beads. Leave about ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) at the end of your wire bare, so that you can make the end loop. Pinch the end of the wire with your plies, and curl it in on itself to make a loop. Use a pair of pliers to open up a jump ring, then slip your desired charm onto it. Position the jump ring wherever you want it to be on the napkin ring (between two beads or at one of the end loops), then close it. Open your jump ring by pulling the two ends past each other, like a door. Don't pull them away from each other by pulling on them. Roll or fold your napkin into a tube or rectangle, then wrap the napkin ring around the middle. If you'd like, you can gently fluff out each end of the napkin for a fancier look.

Article in English: Make sure that you do this before you forget the temperature. If you jot down the temperature in a diary, you can track the temperature over some length of time. The average body temperature of a horse is 99 to 101 degrees Fahrenheit (37.5 degrees to 38.5 degrees Celsius). Your horse’s temperature may vary slightly depending on which breed of horse you own. There are three types of horses: cold-blood, warm-blood and hot-blood. These designations don’t mean that your horse will have a drastically different body temperature from another horse, but there may be slight variations.  Cold-blood: Native ponies, such as Welsh, Fjord, or Fell ponies, are better suited to cooler climates and naturally have slightly cooler body temperatures. Warm-blood: These horses are usually athletic with strength and stamina. Their body temperatures tend to run slightly higher. Examples include: Irish Draughts, Lipizzaners and Quarter Horses. Hot-blood: These horses are usually the most athletic horses. They are often used in long-distance riding and racing. Some examples include Arabs, Shagyas and Thoroughbreds. Keep in mind, however, that generally speaking, the normal range is from 99 to 101 degrees Fahrenheit, with anything above 101.5 to be seen as a possible infection. If the weather is extremely hot or extremely cold, your horse’s temperature may be slightly off one way or the other.  In cold winter weather, a horse’s normal temperature shouldn’t be above about 100.5 degrees F. During the summer, a horse’s core temperature can raise up to 101 degrees F or more. Call your vet if the temperature is over 101.5 degrees F. If your horse has been in an intense competition, such as a race or show, its temperature might be higher than normal. Some race horses can even have their core temperatures rise to 105 degrees F. You should call your vet if the temperature does not go down to the normal range within about 90 minutes.

Summary in Portuguese:


Article in English: Make sure that your razor is sharp, as razors with dull blades are more likely to cut you than sharp ones.  You can tell that your razor is beginning to dull when it tugs and nicks at your skin. This means that the blade isn't sharp enough to cut your hair and is pulling it instead. Make sure that your razor is free of moisture and rust before shaving: these can cause infections from bacteria. Shaving towards the angle of hair growth (known as the “grain”) ensures that your razor travels smoothly, which will help you avoid cuts and razor burn.  Identify the grain by running your fingertips through your hair. If your fingertips encounter resistance, you’re moving your fingers against the grain, whereas if your fingertips move smoothly across the hair, you’re moving with the grain. Some people shave their legs against the grain. However, only do this after your hairs are very short, since shaving against the grain while your hair is long could tug the hair from its follicle, which can irritate your skin. Applying a lot of pressure on the razor might seem like a good idea in theory, but since it’s pressing into your skin, the risk of a nick or cut is much greater. Allow the weight of the razor to do the work for you; if it's sharp enough, it'll work. Short strokes will ensure that you have control of the blade while you’re shaving. It will also ensure that you hit every hair, whereas a long stroke might make you miss some hairs.  If you're shaving your face, use strokes of 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm). For the rest of your body, strokes of 2–4 inches (5.1–10.2 cm) will work. Go slowly while shaving, and rinse the razor off every few strokes: this will keep the razor clean and more able to glide smoothly across your skin. Speeding through a shave makes it likely that you will cut yourself. As an option, try using razors with 4-5 blades instead of those with 1-2 blades. 1-2-blade razors are likely to drag against the skin, making it more likely that you will cut yourself. Razors with four or five blades distribute...

Article in English: Make sure that your turtle or tortoise has no illnesses or injuries, no food in their digestive system, constant access to water, and is at a temperature hovering around or above 50°F (10°C). If any one of these things is not true, do not force your pet into hibernation. Otherwise, place your pet in the hibernaculum. Place your hibernaculum in a cool location where it will stay throughout hibernation, except for when you are inspecting it.  If your pet is hibernating outdoors in nature and not in a hibernaculum, make sure your pet will neither drown or freeze in its hibernation spot. Your pet should still have constant access to drinking water. If your pet is hibernating outdoors, it will naturally bury itself in or around a pond.  The pond should have a good bed of dirt or muck to dig into, and be at least 18 inches deep to provide some temperature insulation. If needed, keep the pond from freezing by using a floating pond heater through the winter.  If your outdoor turtle will not hibernate, even though the weather has cooled, or you see it swimming or basking a lot after other turtles have disappeared, bring it inside. Some turtles just don't know how to hibernate and will not survive the winter outside. You cannot hurt a hibernating tortoise or turtle by handling it, but can kill your pet by neglecting it. Do this regardless of where or how it is hibernating, indoors or outdoors. Inspect your pet for any signs of infection, illness, or poor hibernation; and inspect your hibernaculum for urine, feces, or signs of predation (rats).  If your 1) tortoise or turtle has urinated or defecated while hibernating, 2) your pet's skin is dry, or 3) hibernaculum is just much wetter than usual, soak your pet for 2 hours in room-temperature water. The water level should happen just below your pet’s bridge. Dry your pet thoroughly, and return your pet to the hibernaculum placed in a slightly cooler location: you had been keeping your pet in a location that was too warm and dehydrated your pet.  Signs of infection include...

Article in English: Make sure that you’re not letting your vehicle sit for months at a time; keep your vehicle moving to decrease the risk of dry rot. Tires need to flex their rubber in order to let the protective antioxidants make their way to the surface of your tires.  Even if you have a vintage car that you never drive, try to get it out of the garage and drive it for a few miles once a month. This will help the antioxidants work most effectively and keep your tires safe. Since UV rays are a main cause of dry rot, you can protect your vehicle by storing it in a garage or under a car port when you're not using it.   If you don’t have a garage or car port, most automotive stores sell inexpensive tire covers, which protect your tires from UV rays. Also consider parking your vehicle inside a parking garage, instead of parking it on a curb. Not only will you keep your vehicle out of the sun, but you'll be doing your tires a favor by keeping them away from the curb. Petrochemicals can dissolve the the antioxidants on your tires, putting you more at risk for dry rot. Keep your vehicle stored in a clean, dry area.

Article in English: Make sure that you’re open to input from coworkers and supervisors. By being open to taking direction, you’ll show that you’re a team player who is willing to listen to and work with others.  Listen to the advice of coworkers. Use every interaction as an opportunity to learn and to become a model employee. For example, if you're working on a collaborative project, follow the lead of senior employees and ask them questions so you understand their process better. Be attentive during your training process. Make sure you’re focused on learning everything your trainer or supervisor is teaching you. For example, if your trainer is showing you how to restart a piece of machinery, try to verbally repeat the steps that they're taking so you internalize the process better. Avoid thinking you know best. Remember, it is likely that your coworkers or supervisors have been doing this a lot longer than you. If they haven’t, they might have some experience or insight you don’t have. The hallmark of any model employee is one that accepts responsibility for both their positive and negative actions. By accepting responsibility, you’ll show accountability and the maturity that characterizes model employees.   Own up to any mistake you make. For example, if you lost an important client, let your boss know. Let your boss know that you learn from your successes and failures. For example, after losing an account, let your boss know that you didn’t understand the temperamental nature of the client, and that you’ll pay more attention to the intricacies of clients’ personalities so you can cater to them better. Never hide, deny, or lie about any negative outcome in the workplace. For example, embellishing or lying about your success or progress on a specific project as a junior employee may get you into trouble if your employer things you can handle more responsible than you are ready for. The best employees are ones that put themselves out in front of issues that confront the business every day. By being proactive, you’ll show your...

Article in English: Make sure the bunny is under supervision while you work. Empty the dirty hay or shavings from the cage, wash it with hot, soapy water, rinse it thoroughly, and let it dry. Fill it with clean hay or shavings.  You should wash out the water dish or bottle every day. The litter box needs to be changed out every day and thoroughly disinfected every week or so with a 10% white vinegar solution. Rinse well and allow to dry. If the litter box is plastic or metal, you can also place it in the dishwasher. Have more than one litter box so that you can switch a clean one while the other box is dirty or in the process of being cleaned. Rabbit urine is very alkaline and crystals can build up on the surface of the litter box and require the use of a descaling solution. Optimum temperature for rabbits is 61 to 72oF. If your rabbit is outside, provide plenty of shade and, if it gets really hot, bring them indoors to air conditioning or place frozen water bottles in the hutch to help the rabbit keep cool. Rabbits can die of heat stroke.  The rabbit’s ears are really the main temperature control part of their bodies. If they were in the wild, the rabbit would go underground where it is cool to get out of the heat. Bathing should never be done, but you can use a soft-bristled brush to carefully remove hair every day or two. If you have two rabbits, you may notice them grooming each other. Rabbits do not need to be bathed unless they get very dirty and are not able to groom themselves properly. Rabbits need annual checkups to make sure they're healthy. Many veterinarians who treat cats and dogs do not have expertise in treating bunnies, so you may need to find a vet who treats "exotic" animals.  Depending on where you live, your veterinarian may recommend vaccination for certain diseases like Myxomatosis if you live in the United Kingdom. In the United States, Myxomatosis vaccination is not currently recommended.  Your veterinarian will do an examination and discuss their findings and make recommendations based on your rabbit’s...

Article in English: Make sure the cow is wearing a halter, and tie the lead end to a sturdy post or another immovable beam. Tie the cow in a low-stress, quiet environment. If cows are anxious or afraid, the milking process will be more difficult and unpleasant for both you and the animal.  If you are working on a farm that has a stanchion (a wooden box-like structure used for securing a cow’s head so that it can be milked, vaccinated, or branded), you can effectively secure the cow. Sophisticated stanchions will have a bar or lever on the side that will gently clamp wooden or metal slats around the cow’s neck and hold it immobile. More rudimentary stanchions may need to be fastened with a crossbeam or piece of wire. When moving near to clean the udder, speak in a low voice and gently pat her side so that she knows where you are. Cows have a 300-degree range of vision, meaning they can see all around them without moving their heads, minus what is directly in front and behind of them. Despite this great range of vision, their depth perception is pretty poor, which is why it is important to talk to the cow as you approach her from the side to let her know where you are and that you are getting closer.  Don’t make any sudden movements. If you surprise her, she may panic and kick you or step on you. Tying the cow’s tail to her leg will prevent her from swishing you with it.  Tail hair does not tie well, and it will come loose after a few minutes. Alternatively, you can tie the tail up and around the neck, which may be less frightening to the cow. During the course of a day, the cow’s teats will become covered in grass, hay, and dirt. Wash the teats before you begin milking to prevent soil—and any bacteria that it may contain—from contaminating the milk. When washing, try not to drag any dirt down to your clean area. Be mindful of the direction and borders of your washed area. Washing with warm water may help coax or “bring down” the milk. Do not milk the cow if her teats are still wet, because the soap and water may drip down into...

Article in English: Make sure the glass you use is small enough to fit in your microwave. After two minutes, open the microwave and move the glass of water to the side of the microwave to make room for the bowl of dough.  Use an oven mitt or dish towel to move the glass in case it's hot. Use a bowl that’s small enough to fit in your microwave. Don’t worry if the bowl isn’t microwave safe - the microwave won’t be on when it’s in there. Leave the glass of water in the microwave with the dough. The glass of water and the heat from the microwave will create a warm, moist environment that will help the dough rise faster. Do not turn on the microwave. Check on the dough after 30 minutes to see if it’s finished. You’ll know it’s finished rising once it’s doubled in size. If it's not done rising, leave the dough in the microwave for another 15 minutes. If after 45 minutes the dough still hasn’t doubled in size, remove it from the microwave. Reheat the glass of water on high for two minutes and then place the bowl of dough back in the microwave. Let the dough continue to rise for another 10 to 15 minutes.

Article in English: Make sure the plug end of the string is at the bottom of the post so you can easily reach an outlet. Wrap the lights towards the upper trellises. Staple the wires to the posts to keep them secure.  Fairy lights will add a more subtle glow for a more intimate feeling. If you only wish to light the ceiling of the pergola, run an extension cord up the post. Staple the lights to the upper rafters of the pergola every 5 inches (13 cm) so they do not hang loose. Wind them back at forth across the rafters until you go from one end to the other.  String the lights twice on each rafter to light the area better. Use hanging icicle lights to add a fun visual to the ceiling of your pergola. Rather than stapling the lights to the boards at the top, string them diagonally from one side of the pergola to the other. Staple the lights on the end rafters where you change the string's direction. Let them hang loosely, so they do not break from too much tension.  To keep the lights more secure, use metal wire attached to hooks as guides. Use yellow Edison bulbs to add an antique or classy feel. To make the space seem grander, take strings of lights from each corner and make them meet in the middle. Let the strings hang lower before stapling them to the ceiling in the center of your pergola. White globe lights will add a soft glow to the area while adding elegance to the area. Similar to icicle lights, curtain lights hang down lower and create a wall of light. Staple white curtain lights on the outer rafters of the pergola to add an all-around glow to your outdoor space. Leave an opening in the curtain lights so you can easily walk in and out of your pergola.
