Article in English: This is a simple way to make the girl more attracted to you. Shower regularly so that your hair and body are smelling clean, and wear clothes that you feel confident and attractive in. Doing small things like brushing your hair or putting together a nice outfit is more likely to attract the girl's attention. When you catch the girl looking at you, try to maintain eye contact for several seconds before smiling and looking away. This will hint to her that you really like her and will make her more interested in you.  When you're talking to her, look into her eyes to help form a meaningful connection. Try to avoid looking into her eyes for more than 3 seconds, as this verges more on staring. You can do this by just standing or sitting near her, as well as pointing your body so that it's facing her. Smile lots when she's around, and pay attention to any physical cues she gives to see if she likes you too.  Sit or stand up straight to show off good posture. Avoid crossing your arms to make you look more approachable and friendly. The compliments should be genuine and tell her what you like about her as a person, not just focusing on looks. For example, you might tell her that you love her personality, like how she treats her friends and family, or think she's great at her job or schoolwork.  Compliment her on her sports skills or artistic abilities. Say something like, “You have a beautiful smile,” or “You always make me laugh.” You could do this by telling a joke or funny story, or by teasing her lightly to get her to laugh. Getting her to laugh will help her feel more comfortable around you and will make her more attracted to you at the same time.  Talk about a funny story that happened to you when you were little. Tease her about something silly like her stuffed animal collection or any funny habits she has. Touch her gently on the arm, hug her when saying hello or goodbye, or put your arm around her shoulders when sitting or standing near one another. Small touches are a great way to tell her you're interested...

Article in English: This is a very common cause of oil-based stains on leather purses. When doing a routine wipe-down, check the handles and clasps particularly, since the natural oils from your hands may also cause oily stains. Dust can settle on the white leather and affect its appearance. If your leather bag came with a dust bag (many designer purses do), store your purse inside it when you aren’t using it. If you don’t have a dust bag, an old pillowcase or garment bag will work. The sun’s rays can damage the leather's surface. Make sure you store it in a non-humid area with no direct sunlight. Stuff the bag with newspaper while in storage. This will help the leather bag keep its original shape. Wipe the leather down first with a dry microfiber cloth to ensure there’s no lingering dust or dirt. Rub a small amount of the conditioner onto the surface of the purse. Allow it to sit for several minutes, which allows the leather to soak up the hydration. Gently wipe the conditioner off with a clean microfiber cloth.  Regular conditioning will keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Leather conditioner products can be purchased at shoe and department stores.

Article in English: This is a very effective and inexpensive way to scare away geckos: they see eggshells and they think “predator.” Leave two eggshell halves around your home, such as at outdoor entryways, or in the kitchen.  Do not crush the eggshells, leave them in two halves. One two-halves pair at every entrance should be enough: the geckos just need to run into it, then they'll run away from it. To keep the eggshells fresh, change them every 3 to 4 weeks. Mothballs target moths, cockroaches, ants, flies – and geckos! A real household panacea! Leave some under the stove, refrigerator, or sink to repel geckos. Many of the insects that geckos eat are drawn to light, so, oftentimes, geckos will hang out in those areas. Placing some flypaper near light sources will not only catch geckos’ pesky food source, but will likely catch the geckos themselves.  A good position to place the flypaper is on the inside of the light bulb’s shade/housing. You can also set glue boards or sticky cards near windows or other outdoor entryways. If you find a live gecko stuck in one of your sticky traps, you can unstick it and set it free by pouring vegetable oil over the trap. It’s nasty – but humane! Using moist coffee grounds and some tobacco powder, form a small ball with your hands and stick it on the end of a toothpick. Put this near where the geckos are nesting or where they might easily find it, like an outdoor entryway. The geckos will consume some of this ball and die. Garlic’s strong odor isn’t just repellent to some humans, it’s also repellent to geckos, too! Leave a garlic clove around an outdoor entryway to keep them from entering that way ever again. Onion slices are another irritant that will drive geckos away. Cut an onion in half and leave it in a known gecko hiding place, somewhere warm and cozy that you’ve seen a gecko camping out, or by an outdoor entryway. The irritation felt by humans when sprayed by pepper-spray is not unlike that felt by geckos that encounter it. Mix some pepper and water in a spray bottle and spray the...

Article in English: This is an electrostatic process where plastic/epoxy powder is deposited in a very thin layer all over the surface and then baked on. The advantages of powder coating are flexibility, a very wide range of colors and textures, and the ability of the powder to adhere into small voids and cracks on the surface with out drips or runs. These are chemical formulations made to cause surface changes and coloration to metal. Some are used hot, while others are applied cold, there are many to choose from and they also allow you to highlight your project while maintaining a natural finish. Often waxes are applied afterwards to provide a final seal. Marine varnish is another way to put a final coat on your metalwork. Varnish has the advantage of being easy and forgiving to apply, however your work will have an obvious "clear coated" look that is not always desirable. Varnish is very easy to touch up later and to redo as maintenance at a later date without changing the overall finish. For painting small areas or writing on your metal, nail polish sticks very well and looks great. It comes in every shade imaginable, though, red hues are more widely available.

Article in English: This is an important life skill that can reduce stress and frustration. Recognizing the problem will help you identify a situation which is problematic and learn how to deal with it. Understanding the cause of your frustration can also make you feel more in control of the situation. For example, if you are in a restaurant and still waiting on your waiter, you can recognize this as a problem because it is making you frustrated and angry. Take a moment to consider several possible actions you could take, such as having a tantrum, not saying anything at all, or removing yourself from the situation. The key to thinking about your options is to consider the consequence of each before acting. Choose an action that will reduce your frustration and change the situation. Once you've decided, put your plan into action in a way that will be well received. For example, instead of having a temper tantrum in the restaurant and regretting it later, you may choose to speak to the manager or move to a different table. These options may ease your frustration and anger. Take a moment to make sure you're you're in charge of your emotions. Avoid letting your anger control your actions. You might need to walk away from the situation for a few moments or collect your thoughts before reacting. Only try to handle the situation once you feel like you're able to engage with other people without throwing a tantrum. If you feel stuck and unable to express your feelings, learn to effectively express your anger. This can make you feel more in control of the situation. If someone is upsetting you, approach the person in a simple and direct way. Express how the situation made you feel and you may even want to request how you'd like the situation to be in the future. Be sure to focus on your feelings. For example, imagine you're in a restaurant and are waiting for your waiter to return. Once you've calmed yourself to prevent an outburst, your next step would be to ask to speak to the manager. Explain your dissatisfaction with the service and...

Article in English: This is an important step if it's not obvious why the child is upset. Even if you do know, it can be useful for them to articulate their experience in their own words. Expressing themselves can help them process their emotions and develop emotional awareness.  Naming and discussing their emotions will help them recognize them more clearly in the future. For young children who cannot communicate their feelings, parents can state or reflect how the child is feeling: "You look upset." "You seem frustrated." "So your feelings are hurt." The child can then respond by either affirming or denying the reflected emotions. In this way, parents are teaching the child to identify and correctly label emotions and the child is recognizing and labeling his/her emotions. . It's important to mirror the child, especially early on in their life. Acknowledging the child's emotions will help them develop a confident sense of self-esteem.  For example, if your son/daughter is angry, you can say "I can see that you're angry right now. I know what it's like to feel angry. It's okay to feel angry." If they are too young to describe their experience, even just being there with them and paying attention to what they're doing can be a powerful form of mirroring. Listening to the child is one of the best ways to get them to listen to you back. It will also help them feel understood and appreciated. Follow these steps to be a good listener:  Be available. Establish an open relationship where they can talk to you whenever they feel the need. This could be as simple as encouraging them when they tell you about their lives. Reflect what they say. When they tell you about how they feel, rephrase it and ask if you got it right. Avoid jumping to conclusions. If you catch the child doing something wrong, allow them to explain themselves before you respond. Ask questions about their reasoning and try to understand. You want to acknowledge the child's feelings, but that doesn't mean that they need to rule you. It's important to be consistent and...

Article in English: This is an important step in making your body and mind better. It can also clear up your skin and give you more energy. Adding fruits and vegetables to your existing diet, swapping out regular pasta for whole grain options, and changing red or fatty meats for leaner options are great ways to eat healthier. You should limit the amount of salt you include in your diet. Look for low-sodium versions of the foods most likely to have high amounts of salt like sauces, dressings, and prepared soups.  For example, if a recipe calls for a few vegetables, you can add a greater variety or increase the amount the recipe calls for this will widen your variety of food and keep you healthy. If a recipe calls for spaghetti, try a whole wheat pasta instead. If a recipe calls for ground beef, use ground turkey or chicken instead. Avoid processed foods as much as possible. Take the time to work on getting more fit. The endorphins you get from working out can make you feel happier and more confident about your body. You don't need to be super skinny or have a particular body shape to be pretty. Being healthy by exercising can make you pretty no matter what your body looks like.  There are so many ways you can get fit. Many people go running every day. Some people do workout videos. Some people go to the gym. Others use fitness games, hand weights, run up and down the stairs, hike, or just dance around the house.  You should really talk to your doctor before you start any kind of new and vigorous workout routine. Your doctor can best assess what your body can handle. Following a good skin care routine can also help you look prettier. At a minimum you should use a cleanser and moisturizer every day and a facial scrub a few times a week.  Using a sheer moisturizer with SPF can give you a natural looking dewy glow.  Use a loofah in the shower to get rid of dead skin and keep your skin looking bright and fresh. Eating a healthier diet can indirectly help the health of your nails, but there's also plenty you can do to benefit your...

Article in English: This is different than determining the pH of your soil, and it's a really important move. Your soil type will tell you which method of acidifying you should use.  Soil that is already well-drained and relatively loose will make acidification much easier. This type of soil can benefit from large amounts of organic compounds that acidify the soil as they break down. Soil that is clumped with clay and seriously compacted will make acidification much tougher. Adding organic material to this type of soil will make it more alkaline, not less. In order to acidify these types of soils, organic materials are your best bet. Organic materials acidify the soil as they break down, but large amounts of them are needed to bring the pH down. Here are some nice organic materials you should consider using:  Sphagnum peat moss Composted oak leaves Compost and manure As mentioned earlier, adding organic materials to highly-dense soil can make problems worse, as your soil retains more moisture, making it more alkaline. For this reason, adding elemental sulfur or iron sulfate is the most surefire way to acidify soil with heavy clay components to it.  Elemental sulfur acidifies the soil as bacteria turns the elemental sulfur into sulfuric acid. It takes about 2 pounds of elemental sulfur per 100 square feet to reduce the pH of a soil that is 7 down to a pH of 4.5. Because elemental sulfur is slow to react, it's best to add it the year before planting in order to achieve the best results. Work the elemental sulfur into the soil, going as deep as 6 inches (15.2 cm). Iron sulfate relies on a chemical reaction to create acidity. It is therefore less dependent on temperature conditions than elemental sulfur, which depends on bacteria to produce a biological reaction.  It could take upwards of 10 pounds of iron sulfate for every 100 square feet of soil to reduce pH by one unit. If you are adding more than 10 pounds of iron sulfate for every 100 square feet of soil, then you will need to split it up into two applications, spaced one to...

Article in English: This is easiest if your Silhouette window isn't at full size. You can also convert GIF and PNG file formats with Silhouette. You can do this by clicking the image in Silhouette to select it, then clicking and dragging one of the small squares on the outline around the image. Resizing your file will reduce its quality. This is in the toolbar on the top-right side of your screen; it resembles a butterfly inside of a square. This option is at the top of the "Trace" menu on the right-hand side of your screen. This should be the part of the JPEG from which you wish to create a silhouette. After releasing the mouse, you should see a yellow outline around your target area. This will disable this option, which will refine the quality of your outline. If you're attempting to isolate a complex, high-quality image cut-out, you don't need to disable the High Pass Filter option. This will further emphasize the quality of your outline. Since this setting will vary depending on your image's complexity, feel free to experiment with different settings before making your final cut. This will create a slim outline of the outer part of your selected area. You can also click "Trace and Detach" to cut out your selected area. This will clear out your JPEG background or remaining material, leaving just your outline.  You can also click and drag your JPEG off of the Silhouette work window; this should leave an outline. If you used "Trace and Detach", this will remove all aspects of your JPEG except for the section you selected. This option is in the top right corner of your Silhouette window. After saving your project, you can print it, edit it further, or send it to a friend. You have successfully created a Silhouette cut-out of an image!

Article in English: This is especially important if you're going to a wake or burial before or after the funeral. There is a lot of standing and walking at funerals, so you your shoes to be comfortable. High heels, for example, are not ideal. Make sure to stick to something formal and dark colored with your footwear.  Black dress shoes or flats are a good option. A nice pair of dark green, navy blue, gray, or black flats or dress shoes are always a great option for a funeral. If it's not a super formal funeral, dark-colored tennis shoes or converse sneakers can also work. Always err on the side of formality, however. If you're wearing a tie, make sure to play it down. Ties with bright colors or flashy patterns should generally be avoided. A solid colored tie, or a tie with no pattern, is your best option for a funeral. Make sure to select a darker color, like dark green, navy blue, or gray. However, there are exceptions to this rule. If you have, say, a novelty tie the deceased gave to you, family members may appreciate this gesture. You may want to check ahead of time, just to make sure this won't be taken the wrong way. If you wear makeup, keep it pretty minimal for a funeral. A funeral is generally a formal occasion. Just as you wouldn't wear dramatic, flashy makeup to your office, do not wear it to a funeral.  A light covering of foundation and a nude lipstick is best. Add a small amount of blush, if you want, as well as some very light eye shadow and mascara. As always, there may be exceptions depending on the wishes of family members. If you're, for example, going to the funeral of someone who worked in theater, family members may request flashier, theatrical makeup. If you're worried about picking the right jewelry, it's appropriate to go without for a funeral. In fact, this may help your outfit look more somber. However, if you want to add jewelry, stick to the classics. A string of pearls is vastly more appropriate than a bright, clunky necklace. If you wear earrings, choose respectful ones.

Article in English: This is especially important where your job loss has been traumatic (most cases, but not always), as you'll need to find time to reflect on what has happened and pull yourself together again. How long this will take varies from person to person and it's not something that can be rushed. If you like sleeping in, let yourself do this for a short time. This can count as part of your "regeneration" time. However, be wary of allowing it to turn into a habit, and be even more alert if you find you simply cannot get out of bed in the mornings, as this may be a warning that you're suffering from depression and need medical help. After you've taken some pampering time to recover from the loss, choose a new routine and stick to it. Routine gives a sense of purpose to life and focuses on the things that make your life run more smoothly. The routine should set aside time both for you alone and for you to spend with family and friends.  Get up at the same time each morning. After you've recovered, avoid sleeping in regularly (weekends are okay). Getting up at the same time each day is not only a routine helper but it's also a way of helping you to maintain regular, healthful sleep. The body responds to regular sleep times and this can help prevent insomnia, poor sleep or oversleeping issues. Treat each day as a day that matters and honor its arrival by planning to make the most of it. This can be very hard initially but try to see the bigger picture; the sun still rises and sets, the world still turns. Your part in all of it has changed dramatically but being a part of the living world is still very much your reality.

Article in English: This is extremely important if you are trying to lose weight. Remember that exercise alone will not make you lose weight; you will absolutely have to change your diet. These foods are full of vitamins and minerals and will help keep you full and energized throughout the day. Leafy green vegetables and non-starchy vegetables are the best for you; keep fruit to just a few pieces a day. Turkey, chicken, and fish are low in fat but rich in protein. If you are a vegetarian, try tofu, tempeh, veggie burgers, and eggs. It is very important to stay hydrated. Read food labels and beware of hidden sugars in dressings, sauces, and breads. Try to stay away from alcohol. If you do drink, opt for wine rather than sugary cocktails or carb-heavy beers.

Article in English: This is going to be a hard conversation, so you may want to write out the reasons why you want to end the friendship, or even write a script. Because you are trying to minimize hurt feelings, make sure your reasons are stated tactfully and that you’re not blaming her or being accusatory. You may want to discuss what to say with another close friend, sibling, or parent. This is fine, and probably a good idea, just make sure it’s someone you trust to keep things quiet. If she hears from someone else that you don’t want to be her friend—or worse, a few other people—it’s going to be very hurtful. If this person was your very close friend, you owe it to her to have a dialogue and give her a chance to respond, instead of emailing her or texting her. Be direct (but not mean) and don’t make lame excuses so she’s left wondering what just happened.   Choose someplace quiet and relatively private so she can react without embarrassment (there may be tears). The lunchroom is not the place for this discussion. It’s much too easy to misinterpret a letter or email, so try to talk to her in person or at least over the phone. Plus, she could show your private letter to other people. Try to be nice but stand firm. Don’t say, “Hey, you’ve turned into a jerk and our friendship is over.” Try something like, “Our friendship has become a really negative force in my life, and I think it’s best if we stop being friends.” Your friend may have questions and grievances of her own. She may become defensive, yell, get angry, or cry. That’s okay—let her have those feelings (unless she becomes violent; then get out of there). Down the line, you’ll both feel better that you had an opportunity to say what you needed to say, even if it’s difficult in the moment.  Your friend may feel terrible about how she acted and want to try to save the friendship. If you are willing, you two might be able to talk it out. If your friend tries to bait you into a fight, don’t do it. Don’t involve yourself in a big, dramatic scene. Even if she’s calling you...

Article in English: This is great if you are going some place where your mosquito-repelling plants won't be present, such as on a hiking trip. You may want to do a small patch test first on your inner elbow, however, to ensure that you are not allergic to the plant. Keep in mind that these plants will only protect you for 1 to 2 hours. Consider crushing and rubbing any of these plants on your arms and legs:  Catnip, Citronella, Clove Eucalyptus Lavender or Lemon balm Pineapple weed Sagebrush Tea tree Vanilla leaf Pour ½ cup (120 milliliters) of hot water over a handful of fresh basil leaves. Wait 2 to 4 hours, then pour the liquid into a spray bottle. Discard the leaves. Add ½ cup (120 milliliters) of vodka. Close the bottle and shake it to mix.   Be sure to squeeze the basil leaves to get every last bit of liquid out. You can also use catnip and rosemary instead of basil. Let the herbs step for 1 hour instead. Take some of the herbs or flowers mentioned in the section above, and dry them out. Tie herbs into bundles, and hang them from doorways and windows. Separate the petals from the flowers, and arrange them in pretty bowls. Leave these bowls on windowsills and deck tables where mosquitoes are likely to be present. To release the mosquito-repelling sent, simply rub the herbs or petals between your fingers. The next time you decide to barbecue, sprinkle some rosemary onto your chicken or steak. Not only will you be flavoring your meal, but you'll be keeping those pesky biters at bay.

They can help restore the good bacteria in the intestines and speed up the recovery process. If you have a weak immune system, however, taking probiotics may not be the best treatment for you; consult your doctor before taking any. Another popular home remedy, apple cider vinegar may contain antimicrobial properties. To use it, mix two tablespoons in a cup of hot water and drink before eating any solid food. You can also drink the apple cider vinegar straight, if you prefer. Some herbs may have antimicrobial properties and several can alleviate the symptoms of food poisoning. Try drinking basil juice or adding a few drops of basil oil in water. Cumin seeds can also be eaten straight or brewed into a hot beverage. Thyme, rosemary, coriander, sage, spearmint, and fennel are also herbs that may have antimicrobial properties, though more research is needed. A mixture of ginger and honey in warm water may help to reduce stomach pain and indigestion. Try making yourself a cup of ginger and honey tea.  Brew a few slices of peeled, fresh ginger in hot water, then stir in a tablespoon of honey (or more or less if desired) and sip slowly. Make sure that you never give honey to a child under the age of one. Honey may contain a bacteria that can lead to botulism in infants.

He will even show you his side to deliberately intimidate you, just to show you how big and powerful he is. Any bull that does this to you, including growling, head-shaking and pawing the earth, is one to avoid. Those bulls are the ones to avoid, more so than the ones that give you the obvious warnings. That weapon must be a thick stick that won't break on impact, an axe handle, a  one- to two-foot long piece of PVC pipe, or a baseball bat; anything that you can carry in your hand to defend yourself with or make the bull think twice about attacking you. Also, keep close to the fence to make your escape that much easier.

Article in English: This is known as the Tickler filing system and it is a great way to keep track of what you need to do each day. Designate a file folder for each month and a folder for each day of the month. Then, insert items into the files. File the items according to the dates you need to work on them. For example, if you need to pay a bill on September 23rd, then insert the bill into the folder for that date. Alphabetical filing is useful for finding files for individual people, businesses, or subjects. This may be ideal if you have lots of customers and you want to keep a file on each one, or if you want a simple way to manage your home filing.  Make sure to place the last name of individuals first on files labels, such as, “Jones, Susan” or “Watson, David.” Ignore words like “The,” “A,” and “An” when filing by business name. For example, if you have a client whose business is called “The Cake Goddess,” then file according to the “C” in “Cake,” and ignore the “T” in “The” when filing. If you have a short term project that you want to maintain records for, then a numerical filing system may work best. This is when you assign a number to each document and file it according to number. However, keep in mind that you will also have to keep track of which document corresponds to which number, such as by using a spreadsheet.  For example, you might assign all of the items you received during the week of March 14th to a file folder labeled 1, then all the items for the week of March 21st in a file labeled 2, and so on. Another option is to label the files by date and organize them chronologically.  For example, items received on May 2nd, 2018 could be kept in a file labeled 5/2/2018. Designate a color to each category of your files. This will help you to locate a category of files at a glance.  For example, use red for medical bills, blue for taxes, and green for insurance.

Article in English: This is known as the asset-based approach for valuing a company.  This calculation looks at the total assets of a company minus its liabilities.  This approach is often used when a business is no longer operating and is preparing for liquidation.  Choose your valuation date and use the balance sheet as of that date. If necessary, restate assets and liabilities to fair market value.  This means restating the value of the company’s assets and liabilities for what they could be bought or sold in the current market.  This might apply to assets such as inventory, capital equipment and property and liabilities such as litigation or warranty accruals. Include any unrecorded assets and liabilities that are not reflected on the balance sheet but may still impact the company’s value. For instance, any pending litigation that might result in the company needing to make a payment within the next operating cycle. Include the estimated amount the company may lose. Subtract liabilities from assets, and divide by the total number of common shares to get the NAV per share or the company. For example, suppose a company had $120 million in assets and $100 million in liabilities and 10 million common shares.  Assets minus liabilities equal $20 million.  Net asset value per share equals $20 million /10 million = $2 per share. REITs are corporations that own income-producing real estate properties or mortgages and allow investors to purchase shares of stock.  For all of the properties in the trust, you can calculate the book value, or the value of the property less accumulated depreciation.  However, calculating the net asset value better reflects the market value of shares in the REIT.  Begin with an appraisal of the REIT’s properties.   One method is to divide the operating income of the properties (revenues minus operating expenses) by the capitalization rate (which is the expected rate of return on a property based on its income).  For example, if the total operating income of an REIT is $200 million and the average...

Article in English: This is necessary if the pain is extremely severe, you have major loss of function after 72 hours, or the pain has continued after self-treatment for a week. Tests may include palpitation, x-rays and range-of-motion tests. Your doctor may do the following:  Your doctor might prescribe additional medication, including steroids and muscle relaxers like Robaxin and Soma.  Prescribe a neck brace if there is severe pain and muscle weakness. This can be provided by a medical supply company in the area.  Prescribe an imaging study after a few weeks or months, or if you show signs of neurologic compromise (numbness, tingling, weakness, clumsiness), to verify and better understand the injury. Possible imagining techniques include MRI, Myelogram, CT, or EMG. Physical therapy includes stretches and straightening exercises, which strengthen the muscles that support the neck. It also is likely to include traction, which gently relieves the stress on the neck for short periods of time. Building strong abdominal muscles and lean body mass will also be important for preventing future re-injury. Occupational therapy may be necessary if the way you work or your daily routine has caused or aggravated the disc herniation. These therapists may be able to improve the way you walk, sit or stand to help reduce pain. Special care should be exercised when performing heavy lifting. Chiropractic care may also be necessary in order to restore mobility in the neck and to open up the joint in order for the disc to return to its normal position. You do not need a doctor's referral in order to go to a chiropractor. Consider surgery only if conservative treatments were attempted and failed to produce results after a period of at least six weeks or if you have a large herniation with neurologic compromise. Your general practitioner will refer you to a specialist for advice about these procedures. Procedures include an anterior cervical discectomy or artificial disc replacement. Procedures typically require the disc to be removed.

Article in English: This is not going to be fun -- manipulative relationships never are. But you have to wade deep into your crappy feelings and personal worries or you're never going to understand things. Is this relationship healthy, or is it unhealthy? Try to be objective as you analyze how things have changed since this relationship began. Let's be honest: sex clouds your judgment. Remove sex from the equation immediately. It should never be the only reason you're with someone. It doesn't matter how hot they are. You are the most important person in your own life, aren't you? Don't disregard your feelings as worthless, biased, or over reactionary. If you feel like crap in this relationship, then you're being treated like crap. End of story -- get out of there. This is especially true if you:  Feel scared of how your partner will act, or react. Feel responsible for your partner's feelings. Make excuses to other people for your partner’s behavior. Believe it's all your fault. Avoid anything that causes conflict or makes your partner angry. Feel like your partner is never happy with you. Always do what your partner wants you to do instead of what you want. Stay with your partner because you are afraid of what your partner would do if you broke up. Are your family relationships and friendships increasingly filled with tension every time your partner's name comes up, or with your partner when their names come up? Red flags should go up if everyone who cares about you is becoming worried or being pushed away by your partner.  Does this person bring out your best or worst traits? You want to love yourself at all times -- because you're awesome. If you don't feel great, it's likely because their negative energy is sucking you down to their manipulative level. Be aware of the way they behave with your family and friends, especially if they antagonize them, argue with them, or talk crap about them constantly. If you decided it is just "easier" to ignore your friends and family, you've let the manipulating monster win. It's time to...

Article in English: This is one of the most important parts of handling a lactose intolerance because many of the terms used on our food, such as “dairy-free,” do not have regulatory definitions with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Thus, while they probably do not contain animal milk, they may still contain lactose and/or whey.  Look for products that are explicitly vegan. You can assume that these products do not contain whey. If you are unable to check a label, opt for products labeled “lactose-free.” Though this does not guarantee the absence of whey, it makes it highly unlikely that the product will contain whey protein (which is a protein derived from milk). Whey can be present in many forms and in products that don’t seem to be associated with dairy. In order to completely avoid whey to alleviate lactose intolerance, it is important to check the ingredients of any and all foods that you consume. Here are some example foods to be careful of:  Breads: whey is a common preservative in many brands of bread. Check the ingredients of your bread carefully! Breadcrumbs: whey can be found in prepared breadcrumbs. It is better to substitute traditional prepared breadcrumbs with panko breadcrumbs, which are dairy-free.  Spice mix: whey powder is sometimes an ingredient in spice mixes! Look for “whey protein concentrate” in premixed spice packets. Whey protein concentrate often contains concentrated lactose that can trigger the uncomfortable digestive issues of lactose intolerance.  Protein bars: whey can be found in soy protein bars (usually found as whey protein or whey protein isolates). It is important to pay attention to these ingredients! Whey is also found in flavored potato chips, frozen dinners, and fruit-based gummies. The important point is to never neglect ingredient labels, no matter how dairy-free the food may seem! There are some terms for dairy-based ingredients that you may not recognize as indicating the presence of dairy. It is important to become familiar with these terms. In the case of a moderate to...

Article in English: This is one of the most important things you can do for your skin, not just on your face but over your whole body. The sun's UVA and UVB rays create the most wear-and-tear on your skin, but that same wear and tear can come just as easily in a tanning bed. Use sunscreen whenever you go out on a sunny day on avoid using tanning beds.  You'll need a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 if you want to be protected. Put it on 30 minutes before sun exposure so that your body can absorb it, then reapply 20 minutes after going out. If you use this early reapplication, you'll only need to reapply if you get wet or sweat a lot (or stay at the beach all day). You're also probably not putting on enough. Use roughly two finger-lengths for each of the 11 areas of the body (head, left/right shoulder, left/right arm, left/right chest, left/right thigh, and left/right calf).  Ignore the higher SPF sunscreens. SPF 15 will work just fine and higher formulations don't carry that much more benefit. Higher numbers also don't mean that you can use less. You still have to use just as much. Vitamin A is a crucial compound for healing and maintaining your skin. These days, you can buy special creams which infuse your skin with retinoids, which are chemically very similar to vitamin A. These are one of the few products on the market that you can buy that have been proven to improve your skin, repairing damage from acne and smoothing up wrinkles. Prescription retinoids will get the best results, but you can also use over-the-counter retinol, which will also provide some benefits. Lanolin is a substance that animals (most commonly sheep) produce naturally which protects their skin and hair. While you may not baa and eat grass, lanolin still is great for you skin. Most people will be familiar with it through the product Carmex, which is used to smooth chapped lips. However, you can also get it in greater quantities for use on hands, legs, face, and anywhere your skin gets dry or hard. Bag Balm is the most common brand. When you first...

Article in English: This is one of the most rewarding ways to practice selflessness. When you volunteer your time and skills, all you get in return is the rewarding sense that you've played a part in helping your community. Studies show that volunteering may actually boost happiness and longevity. There are endless ways to volunteer, so identify a need and determine how you can contribute.  Homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and other nonprofit organizations to help those in need are always seeking volunteers. If you have a specific skill you'd like to use, look for an opportunity to work with an organization that could use your help. For example, if you're a skilled teacher, you could teach literacy classes at your local library. Sites like volunteermatch.com provide information on opportunities in many communities. Donating money and goods is another great selfless act that you should practice as frequently as you're able. This is not to say you should donate more than you can afford. Take a look at your budget and decide how much you can give, then commit to donating that amount, even if it means sacrificing a few extras.  Consider picking out a few charities to which you regularly donate a specific sum. Making a practice of donating to those who ask for change is a kind, selfless act you can do on a daily basis. Donating food, clothing, and other material goods to homeless shelters, disaster relief organizations, animal shelters, and so on is another great way to give back. We all have days when we'd like to turn off our phones and retreat from the world. However, doing this too often means you can't be a stable presence for your friends and family when they need your help. Find ways to be responsive and helpful to those close to you who rely on you in times of need. Give up your seat on the train to the elderly and pregnant. Hold doors open for people coming in behind you. Pick up the tab when you notice the person at the next table is short on cash. It's impossible to be completely selfless all the time - you can't pay for...

Article in English: This is only necessary if you're in a group. If you are alone, you may choose to silently contemplate on it. There are certain ways that each person will choose to go about reciting the Mysteries, so choose a method that speaks to you:  The traditional order is to meditate on the Joyful Mysteries on Monday, the Sorrowful on Tuesday, the Glorious on Wednesday, the same pattern for Thursday to Saturday, and then Glorious again on Sunday. Since introducing the Luminous Mysteries in 2002, Pope John Paul II proposed a different schedule for those praying the full 5 decades a day: Monday - Joyful; Tuesday - Sorrowful; Wednesday - Glorious; Thursday - Luminous; Friday - Sorrowful; Saturday - Joyful; Sunday - Glorious Depending on the day, choose the appropriate mystery: 1st Joyful Mystery: The Annunciation of Gabriel to Mary (Luke 1:26-38) 1st Luminous Mystery: The Baptism of Our Lord in the River Jordan (Matthew 3:13-16) 1st Sorrowful Mystery: The Agony of Our Lord in the Garden (Matthew 26:36-56) 1st Glorious Mystery: The Glorious Resurrection of Our Lord (John 20:1-29) You should be on the large bead that precedes the pendant. That's one Hail Mary for each bead. You should be moving in a counter-clockwise fashion, just to the right of the pendant at this point. After that, you may choose to pray one Fátima Prayer:   English: O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell; lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy. (Amen.)  Latin (there is no single official Latin translation of the Fátima Prayer): Domine Iesu, dimitte nobis debita nostra, salva nos ab igne inferiori, perduc in caelum omnes animas, praesertim eas, quae misericordiae tuae maxime indigent.

Article in English: This is related to being confident. You may be striving to attract a man, but what will help you do that most is to become attractive in your own eyes. Take good care of yourself: eat well, exercise, sleep enough. And don’t beat yourself up if you have an off day or don’t look like a supermodel.  If you’re trying to attract a man you’ll likely read all sorts of article that tell you what men like, and it will often be things that you don’t have. Research has proven that personality is more important than physical appearance, which is why it's so important to be happy and comfortable in your own skin. Advice varies depending on what you read, but on average, if you’re trying to stay in shape, you should aim to be active at least 30 minutes a day, every day. This could be something as simple as going for a walk or doing three 10-minute bursts of exercise throughout the day. Exercising does more than keep your body healthy. It keeps your mind healthy too! Divide your body weight (in pounds) in half: that’s how many ounces of water you should drink a day. The amount could be more if you live in a hot climate and/or exercise regularly. A 150-pound woman should drink between 75 and 150 ounces of water each day depending on her level of activity and where she lives. Studies have shown that people who are sleep deprived are less attractive than when they have had a restful night’s sleep.  It’s possible to hide a bad night’s sleep with a good concealer. Get one that closely matches your skin type and use it to cover up any dark under-eye circles. Precede it with an eye cream if you need help with puffiness. If you regularly don’t get enough sleep, consider seeing a doctor to see what the problem may be. Eat lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid eating processed and packaged foods, and too much sugar or salt. This will help keep your weight down, your mood stable, and your skin and hair looking good. Wash your face twice a day with a cleanser made for your skin type (types include normal,...

Article in English: This is so crucial, whether you're working with a large or small bust. If your bra is too small you'll be squishing your breasts, and if it's too large, you won't be supporting them. To really accentuate your bust you should wear a push-up bra, which will lift your breasts and create some intense cleavage. Girls with naturally small busts should choose push-up bras with extra padding as well, to increase the overall size.  If you can, go to a lingerie store to get fitted for a bra by a professional. You can also measure yourself with a simple tape measure, using these techniques.  Make sure you replace your bras regularly. Daily wear and tear will gradually loosen up the straps, band, and underwire, decreasing the lift and support you need. Keep in mind that dark colors are slimming, but also bust-minimizing! Colorful shirts can be the perfect pop to accentuate your chest. Showing off some skin can achieve the same effect— choose items that show off your shoulders and arms to highlight your upper body. Additionally, don't shy away from tight shirts. Baggy shirts can make your chest look dumpy. Tight shirts will hug your chest, regardless of size, which will emphasize your curves. No matter what your bra size, drawing the eyes to your chest in any way will make you appear more busty. A plunging neckline, like a deep V-neck or scoop neck, is perfect for showing off the cleavage created by a perfect push-up bra. A sweetheart neckline is a fabulous neckline for both small and large breasts, because the curve of the neckline accentuates the natural bust line, while showing skin to draw attention to the area. If you really want to embrace the curvy look, don't be afraid to show some skin. When it comes to both style and neckline of shirts, you have to be able to wear it with confidence. The perfect color and cut won't mean anything if you are hunched over, self-consciously tugging at your clothing. Choose something that makes you feel sexy and self-assured, first and foremost. To do this, you'll need a dark powder,...

Article in English: This is so that you don't accidentally knock the entire thing over while packing. First, make sure that enough airflow makes it through the bowl. Gently blow on the bowl, and make sure you can feel air on the other side, where it meets the downstem. If air gets through easily, you're golden. If not, take a pointy tool, like a safety pin or mechanical pencil, and gently unpack any debris that may be lodged in the bowl. The key to smooth, milky smoke is enough airflow. Break up your smoking material into small pieces roughly the size of large crumbs. If you're using a grinder to grind up your smoking material, take a look through the smoking material and try to remove any seeds or stems before grinding it up. Seeds, stems, and leafs will compromise the purity of your smoke, so it's best to remove them. If you do choose to use a grinder you should give it a quick, coarse grind. Finely ground smoking material can get sucked into the chamber and become extinguished before it has time to release its seductive smoke. This is sometimes referred to as "snapping the bowl." Do not pack it over the top edge, as the smoke will drift away instead of into the bowl. If you have a large hole the bottom of your bowl, break off a bigger piece of smoking material (such as a 4-5mm "nugget") and use it to lightly block off the hole. This prevents the herb from sucking into the downstem. Make sure the bowl is not so full that your smoking material falls out, or so tightly-packed that no air can pass through. You should pack your material to a medium-light consistency. You want to get as much material in your bowl as possible while still being able to pull air through it with each inhale. Fit it in snugly, but don't feel like you need to cram it in. Unless you have a carb, you'll need to remove the bowl to smoke from a water bong.

Article in English: This is step 1 to any budget. In order to know how much money you can spend, you need to know how much money you make. And that's after taxes, by the way. This will be easiest to do by month, so take a look at your paychecks -- how much did you bring home these past four weeks or so?  If you're an independent contractor or freelancer, make sure you know what you'll be paying come April. This blow that's coming won't hurt so bad if you account for it year-round. If you're a regular employee, don't count on that tax refund. That's gonna be party time if and when it comes. It's nothing sturdy enough to count on right now. This is the standard stuff that's easy to figure out (rent, student loan payments, transportation, etc.) and the not so standard stuff: food, entertainment, utilities, etc. Be sure to be realistic -- if anything, over estimate. Rack your brain for everything you're forgetting -- do you donate to Children's International? Have a $4 latte every other day? Have automatic payments set up for that yoga class you never go to? Be sure to cover your bases! Go through your records for the extras. The main benefit to being a plastic society is that you can log on to a website and literally see where you've spent your money. But that doesn't mean you should forget about your cash flow, too! As you look at this list, find a handful of places where you can reduce those unfortunate little numbers. Can you ditch the landline? Forgo cable for Netflix? Skip that latte? The easiest places to do it will be in the "fluff" -- the money you don't even realize you spend until you spend it. When it comes to technology, don't be afraid to make a fuss. It is possible to call your phone/Internet/TV provider and tell them you can't afford what you're currently paying. You'd be surprised what money a "squeaky wheel" can save. So even if you're looking at your list and saying, "I can't make any more cutbacks! I need these things!" you may be just assuming. Now that you know how much extra money you think you can bank if...

Article in English: This is the abnormal development of the joints, usually as a result of genetic disease being passed down from parent to pup. A healthy hip joint is a ball and socket design, which consists of a round femoral head (the top of the thigh bone) fitting neatly in the acetabulum (the cup on the pelvis which forms the hip joint), so that the hip joint moves smoothly without any grating or bumping. A dysplastic hip joint has a number of features including a poorly shaped femoral head that has flat edges or is square-shaped, sitting in a shallow acetabulum. This means when the hip moves it catches and rubs, which causes discomfort and pain. Dysplasia is a slowly progressive disease, where poor joint anatomy gradually deteriorates over time with the development of secondary arthritis. As the animal ages, the continued trauma to the hip joint causes premature arthritic changes with new bone being laid down. This compounds the problem and impedes hip movement even more. Remember, dogs as young as 6 months can be affected. Don't assume that problems in a young dog cannot be dysplasia. In the Rottweiler, it is the hip joints that are commonly affected. In other breeds different joints may be affected, such as the elbows in Labrador retrievers.

Article in English: This is the best place to start. Match your shoes to your handbag, choose a colored top that compliments the color of your pants, and generally put some thought into the overall look. This is another primary indicator of European vs. American style (and one that has barely changed, even with the popularity of American styles in Europe). Europeans tend to dress nicely, and would certainly never be caught in yoga pants or sweats outside of the house. Go slightly nicer than what you think you'd have to wear and you're probably in the neighborhood. Europeans wear outfits that are simple. They tend to shy away from the layering that Americans favor. Limit your accessories and the number of layers, and rely on simplicity. It is a myth that Europeans don't wear jeans. They do. Europeans lean more toward mid-toned jeans than we do, but in general any color is fair game. Right now, brightly colored skinny jeans are very popular in Europe and these style-color combinations are also easy enough to find in the US.  Skinny jeans are often paired with looser, longer tops and boots or flats. Don't wear khakis. When Europeans go for light colored pants, they usually opt for white or beige jeans or slacks, not the distinctive twill fabric preferred by Americans. However, this is not an item that's a dead giveaway, so don't worry if you prefer khakis and have a hard time keeping them in your drawer. If you still choose to stray away from khakis, chinos are also another option to consider. In general, Europeans avoid flare legs. Pants with holes or rips are also very American in style. Women in Europe tend to wear skirts and dresses more often than American women, so don't be afraid to bring out these girly items. Leave the maxi dresses at home and favor shorter dresses with tights. (Maxi dresses are very American and almost never seen in European fashion.) Avoid anything remotely gaudy, big, fake or tacky. Choose, instead, low profile accessories that complement your outfits. Try to stick with understated pieces. Other than...

Article in English: This is the core question that will determine the tone and content of your mission statement. Why did you start this business? What goals do you hope to achieve? Figure out the main purpose of your business as a way to get the brainstorming session started. Here are a few related follow-up questions you can also ask yourself:  Who are your customers, or the people you aim to help? What role do you play in the industry or field? The tone of your mission statement should reflect your company's style and culture - its personality, if you will. Think about how you want your customers and other companies to perceive you, and write down the traits you believe best represent your company. Think about the following questions:  Is your company conservative and solid, or are you aiming to be groundbreaking and cutting edge in terms of style? Do you want to be seen as a company with a sense of humor and a playful side, or would that be too unprofessional? What's your company culture like? Is there a strict dress code and a formality to the place, or are people allowed to come to work in jeans? Your mission statement doesn't have to be shocking or "unique" as long as it clearly expresses your goals and style. However, if you're attempting to do something out of the ordinary with your business, you should put that in your mission statement. Is there anything that makes your company special? Write it down. Finally, your mission statement should include one or more solid goals. What's your long-term plan for the company? What are your short-term plans? What's the most important thing you're trying to do?  Your goals can be centered around customer service, dominating a certain market, helping make people's lives better with your product, and so on. Keep your company's personality in mind when you're writing down your goals. The two should reflect one another.

If it's not obvious, you should start with a different method. Don’t dig around with your tweezers if it’s in deep since you could injure the area. Use a different method instead. Another great way to take it out if part of the tip is sticking out is to use a piece of tape. Just place a small piece of tape over the area. Lightly press it over the tip of the thorn, then remove the tape.  Don’t push too hard, or you'll press the thorn deeper into your skin. Scotch tape or masking tape is fine, but avoid using tape that could leave a lot of residue and make matters worse. If the tip of the thorn is buried, use a drawing salve to help draw it out enough to expose the tip. When the tip is exposed, you can pull it out with the tweezers.  This technique takes a little longer than others, but it works to remove thorns if new skin hasn't yet grown over the entry point.  Place ichthammol ointment (also called black drawing salve) on the area, then cover it with a bandaid. You could also use a little epsom salt. Let it work overnight. In the morning, remove the bandaid and rinse it off. Pull out the thorn by its tip with tweezers. If you don't have ichthammol ointment on hand, this works, too. Make a thick paste with water and baking soda, and place it over the area with the thorn. Put a band-aid on it and let it work overnight.  In the morning, remove the bandaid and rinse. The process will draw out the thorn so you can remove it with tweezers. The contents of a raw potato work the same way as a drawing salve, causing the thorn to rise to the surface of the skin. Cut fresh, raw potato open and cut a tiny slice. Place it over the affected area and hold it in place with a bandaid. Let it work overnight. In the...

Article in English: This is the easiest way to tell the two species apart.  The Hairy Woodpecker's bill is long and chisel-like, and almost the same length as its head. In contrast, the Downy's bill is short and dainty, roughly 1/3 the length of the bird's head. If this is difficult to gauge, a good trick is to imagine turning each bird's bill around, so that it points toward the back of the bird's head. How far across the head does it appear to extend? If it is the length of the head, you are looking at a Hairy Woodpecker. The Downy Woodpecker is the smaller of the two, while the Hairy Woodpecker can be up to 50% larger.  However, when viewing an individual bird, it can be difficult to judge this difference in size.  Here are some ways to do this:  For comparison – the Downy is roughly the same size as a House Sparrow, while the Hairy is similar in size to a Robin.   The male and female of each species are roughly the same sizes, so if you are looking at two woodpeckers of different sizes, the smaller is likely to be a Downy and the larger a Hairy. Both birds are black and white but there are some key differences in the pattern of their feathers.   Tail feathers: Hairy Woodpeckers typically have all-white outer tail feathers, especially in the Eastern US.  Downy Woodpeckers, however, have spotted black and white tail feathers.    Shoulder fleck: The Downy has a barely-visible black fleck extending onto the white; the Hairy has a quite distinct "comma-shaped" black mark extending from the shoulder up to the breast.    Red patch: In both species the males have a red patch on the head.  On Hairy Woodpeckers this red patch is often split.   White patch Downy Woodpeckers have a larger white patch on the sides of the neck. This is most obvious when viewing the back of the bird.

Article in English: This is the first step if you are working with active dry yeast. It’s easiest to do this in a measuring cup because you will be pouring this mixture later. Make sure the yeast is completely dissolved. If you are using instant yeast, you can skip this step and add the instant yeast later. The butter should be softened to room temperature to make this easiest. Pour in the remaining milk, the softened butter, the eggs, the sugar, and salt, as well as the yeast mixture that you created. Then, pour in 1.5 cups of flour and mix everything together thoroughly. If you are choosing to add lemon zest, ground mace, or nutmeg, add that now as well.  If you are using instant yeast, you will add that now. After everything is blended, slowly add the remaining flour. You may use exactly four cups, or you may use a little bit more or less. Just make sure that the dough isn’t too sticky or too dry. Lightly coat some space on your countertop or table with flour so that the dough doesn’t stick to it. Work the dough with your fingertips so that it becomes smooth and easy to form. After you’ve done this for about five minutes, roll it into one large ball. Spray a bowl with cooking oil, or pour about a tablespoon of oil into the bottom. Place the large ball of dough into the bowl, and roll it in place so that it’s coated with the oil. Then, it’s time to let the dough rise. Cover your bowl, either with a kitchen towel or with cling wrap. Let it rise in your kitchen (or any warm place) for about two to three hours. You can also let it rise overnight in your refrigerator, if that is easier. After the dough has almost doubled in volume, you want to push it down into the bowl and gently knead again. Then put the cover back on, set it aside once again, and let it double in size over about an hour and fifteen minutes. When the time has passed and the dough has risen again, knead it, split it into two halves, and let it rise a final time for about ten minutes. Finally, your dough is ready. Making kolache dough takes patience, but it’s key...

Article in English: This is the first step that you should take if you suspect that your teenager is using drugs. The more open you are with your teenager about drugs, the more likely they are to trust you and come to you if they have a problem. Be sure to inform them of the dangers of drug use and remind them of how important they are to you.  Say something like, “I read an article about a teenager that had experimented with drugs while they were at a party. Have you ever tried any drugs?” Don’t dismiss your suspicion if your teenager says that they are not using drugs. They understand that admitting to drug use could get them into trouble. It may take time for them to come clean to you about their drug use. It is important to have regular discussions about drugs with your teenager. You don’t have to directly ask them if they are using drugs to have a good conversation about it. Be sure to mention how dangerous and life-threatening drugs can be. This conversation may help you get a better sense of whether or not your teen is using drugs.  Consider making the conversation about someone else. Ask your teen if they know of anyone who is using drugs. This conversation should feel relaxed and spontaneous. Try bringing up the topic while you are driving in the car alone with your teenager. This is an ideal place to talk to your teenager as they will not be busy doing other things. It is best to start talking with your children about the dangers of drug and alcohol use early rather than putting off the conversation until there is a problem. Talk to your kids about the dangers of drug and alcohol use well before they reach their teens. Many children begin using substances before they reach their teens. Provide your kids with age appropriate videos, pamphlets, and other materials that can help them understand. Check with your child’s teacher, school counselor, or other professionals who might be able to help you. You could even ask a D.A.R.E. officer to help you find ways to talk with your kids or to direct you to some resources. Also,...

Article in English: This is the first symptom of bladder cancer that most people notice. Healthy urine ranges in color from clear to shades of yellow. If you notice any red tints or brown coloring in your urine, this may be a sign of blood in the urine.  Blood could be in your urine for many reasons, only one of which is bladder cancer. Conditions including UTIs, kidney stones, and an enlarged prostate can also cause bloody urine. See your doctor right away if you notice blood or discoloration in your urine. Even if it is not caused by cancer, it may be a sign of another serious condition. Inexplicable pain in your pelvis can be a sign of bladder cancer, as can bone pain in and around your groin. Bladder cancer can also be signaled by an abrupt and unintentional loss of weight, and swelling in the legs. See your doctor if you note any of these symptoms. If you see blood in your urine or experience pelvic pain, see your doctor as soon as possible. Your doctor will have access to medical testing equipment used to diagnose bladder cancer. They will likely ask you about factors commonly associated with bladder cancer, including:  A history of smoking. A family history of cancer. Dietary habits that can lead to bladder cancer. These include excessive consumption of fried meat, and chronic dehydration.  Prolonged use of certain medications associated with bladder cancer. These include taking pioglitazone (used to treat diabetes) for more than a year, and taking cyclophosphamide (given to chemotherapy patients). Your general doctor or urologist will most likely ask for a urine sample as the first step in testing to determine if you have bladder cancer. They will then run a urine cytology test to determine if your urine shows signs of a tumor or cancerous cells.  To avoid having to make a return trip to the doctor’s office (or waiting until you have to pee), plan to drink a large glass of water an hour or so before your appointment time. You’ll likely hear back from your doctor regarding the cytology test results in 1 or 2 days. In some...

Article in English: This is the golden rule of cookie baking. Follow the recipe to the tee (you can always experiment with later batches, testing how alterations affect the final product) and take the time to learn how to use measuring spoons and cups properly. You only want to mix the ingredients just enough so that the ingredients are moistened. Over-mixing will allow too many of the gas bubbles from the baking soda or powder reactions to escape, while also developing the gluten in the flour, resulting in dense, tough cookies.> Using inactive baking soda or powder can ruin a batch of cookies. Test baking soda by adding a little bit of vinegar, or baking powder by adding it to hot water. If the mixture doesn't bubble, throw it out and purchase a fresh box or bag. This is especially important with the baking soda or baking powder to ensure that it's evenly distributed and make sure that you don't end up with big holes in your cookies. Also, since baking powder is activated by water, you would want to wait until the last minute before mixing the wet ingredients so that the baking powder doesn't "run out of juice" too early on in the process. This is why recipes will generally have you mix the ingredients separately in two different bowls first.

Article in English: This is the ideal technique for most spices you'll use in baked goods, sauces and other dishes. You can grind to a coarse, medium or fine consistency.  Place your ingredients in the mortar and hold it in place with one hand. Hold the pestle in your fist with a firm but comfortable grip. Press the rounded end of the pestle down onto the ingredients and roll it against the mortar while applying firm pressure. Grind until you've reached your preferred consistency. If the item resists or is simply large and needs this approach, use firm but gentle pounding, sometimes called bashing. This will crack the spices, allowing you to switch techniques to get a finer grind.  Grind first. This action will catch the ingredients that crush easily and make the pounding easier. Pound or bash the ingredients. Use the broad end of the pestle and bring it down gently. Use short, sharp pounds to speed up the process and conserve your own energy. To avoid mishaps, cup your other hand (or a small cloth) over the top opposite side of the mortar and pestle to catch any of the bashed item that tries to bounce out. Grind again if needed. Once most of the ingredients have been crushed, a little end muddling may assist to finish off the crushing. If your recipe calls for crushed, rather than ground, spices, that means they shouldn't be completely pulverized. Instead, you want to keep them mostly intact. This is also a suitable technique for processing garlic.  Place the ingredients in the mortar. Roll the pestle across the ingredients so that they crush and burst. Continue until all of the ingredients have been crushed, but not finely ground.

Article in English: This is the most common type of anemia, and it can sometimes be corrected by increasing your intake of iron. You may have IDA if you have experienced the following:  A heavy menstrual flow (iron is lost through the menstrual blood). A severe injury during which you sustained a lot of blood loss. Surgery that led to the loss of blood. Ulcers or colon cancer. A diet low in iron. This type of anemia results from having too little vitamin B12 in the body. B12 is necessary for the body to produce new blood cells and keep the nervous system healthy. You may have this type of anemia if the following is true:  You have an autoimmune disorder or intestinal problems that cause you to be unable to absorb vitamin B12 efficiently. You don't have enough vitamin B12 in your diet. Since this vitamin is highly concentrated in foods that come from animals, vegetarians and vegans may have trouble getting enough B12. In some cases, anemia is caused by an underlying disease that affects the body's ability to create enough red blood cells to keep the body healthy. To determine whether this may be the case, discuss this with your doctor and undergo the appropriate tests.  Diseases that affect the kidneys can lower the body's ability to create red blood cells. Anemias caused by inherited blood diseases include sickle cell anemia and thalassemia, and a plastic anemia, among others. Some people carry a predisposition for these anemias if one or both of their parents had the condition. Acquired anemia is caused by exposure to toxins, viruses, chemicals or drugs that prevent the body from making healthy red blood cells.

Article in English: This is the number of atoms in each element that makes up the compound. (This information is given in any chemistry reference book.) For example, the formula for hydrogen chloride (hydrochloric acid) is HCl; for glucose, it is C6H12O6. Using this formula, you can identify the number of atoms of each element that makes up the compound.  For HCl, there is one atom of hydrogen and one atom of chlorine. For C6H12O6, there are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms. Using the periodic table, locate the relative atomic mass for each element. It is the number located beneath the symbol for the element. As we did in the first method of calculating the molar mass of an element, we will also multiply these masses by 1 gram/mole.  The relative atomic masses of the elements in hydrochloric acid are: hydrogen, 1.007 g/mol and chlorine, 35.453 g/mol. The relative atomic masses of the elements in glucose are: carbon, 12.0107 g/mol; hydrogen, 1.007 g/mol; and oxygen, 15.9994 g/mol. Multiply the element's atomic mass by the number of atoms of that element in the compound. This will give you the relative amount that each element contributes to the compound.  For hydrogen chloride, HCl, the molar mass of each element is 1.007 grams per mole for hydrogen and 35.453 grams per mole for chlorine. For glucose, C6H12O6, the molar mass of each element is: carbon, 12.0107 x 6 = 72.0642 g/mol; hydrogen, 1.007 x 12 = 12.084 g/mol; and oxygen, 15.9994 x 6 = 95.9964 g/mol. This determines the molar mass for the entire compound. Take the products you obtained in the previous step and add them all together to calculate the molar mass of the compound.  For hydrogen chloride, the molar mass is 1.007 + 35.453 = 36.460 g/mol. 36.46 grams is the mass of one mole of hydrogen chloride. For glucose, the molar mass is 72.0642 + 12.084 + 95.9964 = 180.1446 g/mol. 180.14 grams is the mass of one mole of glucose.

Article in English: This is the simplest information you need for an astrological chart. You just need your full birthdate: the day, month, and year.  You need to know your birthdate because a birth chart is a sort of snapshot of the planets at the time you were born. Although the planets have actually moved since Western Astrology was developed, most astrologers still use the old positions. After all, astrology is symbolic, not scientific. The more exact this can be, the better. Find out the hour, minutes, and time of day (AM or PM). If possible, get this information from your birth certificate. That way you know it’s exactly right (as opposed to relying on your parents' memory).  If you were born during daylight savings time, you may have to take an hour off of your birth time. So, for example, if you were born at 7:03 am during DST, you'd write down 6:03 am as your time of birth. However, most software will do this for you automatically, so don't adjust unless you're sure yours doesn't. Your time of birth will affect your Moon Sign, one of the more significant parts of your chart, so don't skip this! This doesn’t need to be as exact as the address where you were born. The city where you were born will work fine. So will the nearest town, if you were born in a rural area.

Article in English: This is the simplest way to detonate TNT. See Make Flint and Steel in Minecraft for instructions on crafting it. Walk up to the TNT with flint and steel equipped to light it. The TNT block will begin flashing when lit.  Make sure to back up to a safe distance before it explodes (4 seconds after being lit). TNT has an explosive radius of about 7 blocks. If you want to be a little safer when setting off your TNT, you can use a flaming arrow to light it.  You can enchant your arrows with flame to make them flaming by using an enchanting table. See Make an Enchantment Table in Minecraft for instructions on creating an enchantment table and using lapis lazuli to enchant items. You can also light an arrow by shooting it through fire or lava. So you can build a fire in front of your TNT block and shoot an arrow through it to light the arrow and detonate the TNT. You can create a fire charge by placing a charcoal in the center of the grid, a blaze powder to the left of it, and a gunpowder below it. Fire charges are not as efficient as flint and steel, as you lose the charge that you throw.  Throwing a fire charge at the TNT will light it. You can throw the fire charge by selecting it in your inventory and then using the item. Putting a fire charge in a dispenser will cause it to shoot out as a fireball when triggered. This is not as useful for TNT since the fireball shoots at a random angle. TNT caught in the explosion radius of another TNT will light and explode. Unlike TNT you light, which always explodes after 4 seconds, TNT hit by an explosion will detonate after 0.5-1.5 seconds. Since the explosion does not produce an exact radius, make sure your TNT is well within the explosion, no more than 3 or four blocks from the original TNT. If lava flows in near the TNT, it will be set off as soon as it catches fire. This can happen even if the lava is not directly touching the TNT. The same principle applies if the area around the TNT is on fire.
