Article in English: The formula for wind load is F = A x P x Cd x Kz x Gh, where A is the projected area, P is wind pressure, Cd is the drag coefficient, Kz is the exposure coefficient, and Gh is the gust response factor. This formula takes a few more parameters into account for wind load. This formula is generally used to calculate wind load on antennas. In order to use an equation properly, you must first understand what each variable stands for and what its associated units are.   A, P, and Cd are the same variables used in the generic equation.  Kz is the exposure coefficient and it is calculated by taking into account the height from the ground to the midpoint of the object. The units of Kz are feet.  Gh is the gust response factor and it is calculated by taking into account the entire height of the object. The units of Gh are 1/feet or ft-1. The projected area of your object is dependent upon its shape and size. If the wind is hitting a flat wall, the projected area is easier to calculate than if the object is rounded. Projected area will be an approximation of the area that the wind comes in contact with. There is no one formula for calculating projected area, but you can estimate it with some basic calculations. Units for area are ft2.  For a flat wall, use the formula Area = length x width, measuring the length and width of the wall where the wind is hitting it. For a tube or column, you can also approximate the area using length and width. In this case, the width will be the diameter of the tube or column. Wind pressure is given by the equation P = 0.00256 x V2, where V is the speed of the wind in miles per hour (mph). The unit for wind pressure is pounds per square foot (psf).  For example, if the wind speed is 70 mph, the wind pressure is 0.00256 x 702 = 12.5 psf. An alternative to calculating wind pressure at a particular wind speed is to use the standard for various wind zones. For example, according to the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) most of the U.S. is in Zone A with 86.6 mph wind, but coastal areas...

Article in English: The formula is C=2πr{\displaystyle C=2\pi r}, where C{\displaystyle C} equals the circle’s circumference, and r{\displaystyle r} equals its radius. The symbol π{\displaystyle \pi } ("pi") is a special number, roughly equal to 3.14. You can either use that estimate (3.14) in calculations, or use the π{\displaystyle \pi } symbol on a calculator. Use algebra to change the circumference formula until r (radius) is alone on one side of the equation: Whenever a math problem tells you the circumference C of a circle, you can use this equation to find the radius r. Replace C in the equation with the circumference of the circle in your problem: Enter your result in a calculator with the π{\displaystyle \pi } button and round the result. If you don't have a calculator, calculate it by hand, using 3.14 as a close estimate for π{\displaystyle \pi }.

Article in English: The formula is n!=n×(n−1)!{\displaystyle n!=n\times (n-1)!}. This means that a smaller factorial is a factor of a larger factorial. For example, 4!=4×(4−1)!=4×3!{\displaystyle 4!=4\times (4-1)!=4\times 3!}. When you are multiplying two factorials, the largest common factorial is the smaller of the two factorials. For example, if you are calculating 5!×7!{\displaystyle 5!\times 7!}, you can factor out 5!{\displaystyle 5!} from 7!{\displaystyle 7!}:5!×5!(7×6){\displaystyle 5!\times 5!(7\times 6)} Then, calculate the factorial and square its product. For example, 5!×5!(7×6){\displaystyle 5!\times 5!(7\times 6)}=7×6×(5!)2{\displaystyle =7\times 6\times (5!)^{2}}=42×(120)2{\displaystyle =42\times (120)^{2}} The result will be the product of the two original factorials. For example: 42×(120)2{\displaystyle 42\times (120)^{2}}=42×14,400{\displaystyle =42\times 14,400}=604,800{\displaystyle =604,800}

Article in English: The formula is speed=distancetime{\displaystyle {\text{speed}}={\frac {\text{distance}}{\text{time}}}}. This should be presented to you in the form of a coordinate plane, and the graph should have at least one line plotted. The line represents the distance and time traveled by a single person or object. If the graph has multiple lines, each line represents a different person or object. The first endpoint of the line signifies when the person or object started moving. The second endpoint of the line signifies when the person or object stopped moving. The x-axis is the horizontal axis, and it indicates the time spent travelling. The y-axis is the vertical axis, and it indicates the distance traveled. If the units of the graph are not listed in terms of meters per second, you will need to  convert the units after you find the speed.  The steeper the line on a distance-time graph, the faster the speed.  A horizontal line indicates that there was no change in distance. This would indicate a speed of 0 meters per second. To calculate the distance, find the appropriate line on the graph and note the point where the line ends. Find the y-coordinate of this point by moving your finger horizontally to the y-axis. This will show you the distance travelled. If the line does not start at the (0, 0) point, you need to find the distance by subtracting the y-values of the two endpoints of the line. For example, if the line showing the distance and time traveled by Henry begins at (0, 0) and ends at the point (1,800, 48,000), the number of meters traveled is 48,000. To calculate the time, go back to the point where the line ends. Find the x-coordinate of this point by moving your finger vertically to the x-axis. This will show you the time spent traveling. For example, if the line showing the distance and time traveled by Henry ends at the point (1,800, 48,000), the number of seconds traveled is 1,800. Plug the two values into the formula and divide. This will give you the speed. If the units on the graph were listed in units...

Article in English: The frequency with which you need to change it is patient-specific and may depend on which type of bag you are using. For people with one-piece pouches, the entire colostomy bag will need to be changed each time; on the other hand, for people with two-piece pouches, the pouch itself can be changed as frequently as one desires, while the flange will only need to be changed every two to three days.  You should never go longer than seven days between changing of the colostomy bag and appliance. Note that this is just a guideline. Always follow the specific instructions from your doctor or nurse as to how frequently to change your colostomy bag. When being sent home, the ostomy nurse will ensure that you have supplies to bring home as well as information to receive specific supplies once you run out as well as information as to where to obtain new supplies. Many medical supply stores will deliver the colostomy supplies straight to your doorstep, making it very convenient to obtain all that you need.  After discharge you will be responsible for ordering your own supplies. Be sure that you have plenty of supplies stored, so that you will not find yourself short-handed equipment-wise when you go to change your colostomy bag. Remove your shirt to keep it from getting in your way while you are changing your colostomy bag. Before you begin, make sure all of your supplies are within easy reach. Supplies generally include:  A new pouch A clean towel Skin wipes or cleaning supplies Scissors A measuring card and pen A skin barrier such as stoma powder (optional) Adhesive material (normally stoma paste or a ring seal).

Article in English: The fumes from bleach are extremely strong and they can be dangerous, so make sure you set up your project in an area with plenty of fresh air. If you can, try to work outside. If that’s not an option, choose a large room and open a window or turn on a fan. Bleach is a strong chemical. Even when it’s diluted it can cause chemical burns on your skin. Be sure to wear heavy rubber gloves (like the kind used for cleaning) to protect your skin while you’re tie dyeing your clothes with bleach. You can get these wherever cleaning supplies are sold. Black is the best color for tie dyeing with bleach because you will get the best contrast, but you can use any color as long as it’s dark enough to produce an effect. Experiment with different colors to find what you like! Bleach won’t affect synthetic materials like polyester because they are designed to be colorfast. In addition, bleach can damage more delicate fabrics such as silk. If you’re working inside, you’ll need to protect your work surface from bleach, so cover it with a drop cloth or old towels that can get messed up. If you’re using an absorbent material like a towel, be sure it doesn’t get soaked or the bleach will seep through and ruin whatever’s beneath it. If you’re working outside, you’ll want to have something laid on the ground to protect your garment from getting dirty during the tie dyeing process.

Article in English: The gateway line is usually the first line of the piece. It should sum up the main topic or theme. The line can also introduce the story you are about to tell in a clear, eloquent way. A good way to find a gateway line is to write down the first ideas or thoughts that pop into your head when you focus on a topic, moment, or experience. For example, you may come up with a gateway line like, “The first time I saw her, I was alone, but I did not feel alone.” This will then let the reader know you are going to be talking about a female person, a “her,” and about how she made you feel less lonely. Most spoken word will use repetition to great effect, where you repeat a phrase or word several times in the piece. You may try repeating the gateway line several times to remind the reader of the theme of your piece. Or you may repeat an image you like in the piece so the listener is reminded of it again and again. For example, you may repeat the phrase “The first time I saw her” in the piece and then add on different endings or details to the phrase. Rhyme is another popular device used in spoken word to help the piece flow better and sound more pleasing to listeners. You may follow a rhyme scheme where you rhyme every other sentence or every third sentence in the piece. You can also repeat a phrase that rhymes to give the piece a nice flow.  For example, you may use a phrase like "Bad dad" or "Sad dad" to add rhyme. Or you may try rhyming every second sentence with the gateway line, such as rhyming "The first time I saw him" with "I wanted to dive in and swim." Avoid using rhyme too often in the piece, as this can make it sound too much like a nursery rhyme. Instead only use rhyme when you feel it will add an extra layer of meaning or flow to the piece. Think about how settings, objects, and people smell, sound, look, taste, and feel. Describe the topic of your piece using your 5 senses so the reader can become immersed in your story. For example, you may describe the smell of someone’s hair as "light and floral" or...

A estratégia global: A estratégia do "Carregador na Selva":


Article in English: The goal is to fill the entire tip of your opponents star with your pieces before they do the same to you. Because speed is important, you want to move your pieces as directly through the center of the board as possible. This obviously depends on how your opponent moves, but you don’t want to be moving your pieces off into unused portions of the board. You may think you are keeping them safe, but in reality you’re just taking them out of the game and making it more difficult for yourself. Some players utilize a stay at home strategy. This means keeping one checker in the very tip of your star so that your opponent can never completely fill up your star. Keep in mind that you will be unable to win this way, since eventually you will need to move it out in order to fill up your opponents star. Some consider this strategy unsportsmanlike. You are allowed to make as many jumps during a turn as you want. However, that's not always the best strategy.   Try to pay attention not just to your own tactics but also to what your opponent is trying to accomplish. Blocking your opponent is one of the biggest parts of Chinese checkers. Put yourself in your opponent’s shoes and imagine what the next best move would be. Now think of other possible good moves, and try to guess which one you think they will do. It might serve you well only to make a few jumps and then block your opponent from being able to move to the space that they wanted to. Constantly assess your opponent’s intentions. This strategy is more efficient than working from the back to the front. You’ll be able to fill your goal area with fewer moves given that you can continue to hop over your own pieces. If you can occupy the goal area more quickly than your opponent then you’ll be more likely to win.

Article in English: The goal of an activist is not to change modern industrial society on his or her own, but to build wide grassroots support for serious reform. To begin, try sharing your stances and activities with your family and friends. Encourage them to come join you volunteering or to at least make small changes like recycling. Once you feel comfortable doing that, encourage your community to make small sacrifices to preserve the air, water, and food they depend on.  You can attend local political forums, street fairs, and similar events to reach a larger audience. Be friendly even if people seem reluctant to help. Not everyone shares your love for environmentalism. Your best bet for reaching others is to be kind and informative, while contributing your time to good causes. Environmentalists often have an appreciation for natural beauty. You can foster your own appreciation without having to stray far from your own backyard. At the park or sanctuary spot, learn about the local ecosystem. Speak with the employees and administrators to find ways to contribute.  Plenty of parks and sanctuaries are open to volunteer work or can provide jobs. You don’t have to start large. Conserving your own region is as necessary as any work done on a global scale. Even if you don’t officially volunteer or sign up for a job, you can give back. Something as simple as picking up stray plastic bags helps. Unfortunately, litter is everywhere. You can see it on roadsides, in forests, and clogging up river ways. Litter is unsightly, but it also constitutes pollution that harms wildlife. Pick up litter you find and dispose of it in a trash can or recycling bin. A piece of litter you pick up is a piece that stays out of the ocean or an animal’s stomach. Join clean-up organizations in your area. Most areas have at least 1 organization dedicated to protecting a forest, body of water, or another part of nature. Look for these groups online or get in contact with your local government for opportunities. Environmentalists are most successful when they...

Article in English: The goal of concealer is to even out skin tone by targeting small areas, so inspect your face closely. A common problem area for a lot of people is under the eye, due to the prevalence of dark circles. Going 2 shades lighter to conceal dark areas should be the absolute maximum.  1 shade lighter is generally preferable to prevent the reverse raccoon eye look.  Concealers with yellow tones will help to diminish the look of under eye circles. Areas of redness and most other skin issues are best covered with a concealer that exactly matches your foundation/skin tone. If you have trouble matching them exactly, go for a neutral beige with faint yellow shades. These tend to look good when applied anywhere on the face.  Always test and apply concealer in natural light to get an accurate read of the shade.  Avoid flesh-toned concealers that have prominent pink, rose, peach, white, yellow, or copper shades in them. Most people tend to have a slightly darker skin tone in the summer, so you’ll likely need 2 shades of concealer – one to match your summer tone and one to match your slightly paler winter tone. In the fall and spring you can mix those to concealers together to get the perfect in-between shade. To highlight, you'll need to apply a concealer 1-2 shades lighter than your skin tone to the areas of your face that naturally catch the light – the top of the cheekbones, directly beneath the arch of the brow, down the center of the nose and the Cupid’s bow. Highlighting with concealer can help you sculpt your face and give it added dimension. To contour, you'll need to apply a concealer 1-2 shades darker than your skin tone to the natural hollows of the face – right below the cheekbone, along the jawline and at the temple near the hairline.  Highlighting and contouring are currently enjoying a surge of popularity, so you'll probably see contouring kits and other special products made for this on the market.  However, all you really need to get this look are the right concealer shades. These concealers come in shades...

Article in English: The great thing about dating an entrepreneur is that their motivation can rub off on you. Entrepreneurs dislike laziness, so try to keep up with their spirit of determination and innovation. Invest in your own interests and passions to keep an entrepreneur interested in you.  Take classes and try new things. If you've always wanted to learn to cook, for example, try taking a cooking class and hosting dinner parties more often. Not only will doing your own thing keep an entrepreneur interested, it will also keep you busy while they're running their business. Not everyone is able to date an entrepreneur long term. You will sometimes come second place to their business. Ask yourself whether you can deal with your partner occasionally missing out on big occasions because their business demands it. Entrepreneurs travel a lot. If you can't handle sleeping alone, a relationship with an entrepreneur may not be right for you. Learn ways to cope emotionally while your partner is away.  Communicate from a distance as this can help you feel more secure in the relationship. Call one another each night and do things like video chatting. Try to engage in activities together from a distance. For example, you can both read the same book or watch a movie at the same time while texting each other comments. Entrepreneurs are sometimes lost in their business, but that doesn’t mean they don’t care about you. Remind yourself an entrepreneur is with you because they like you. Even if their business demands a lot of their time, it doesn't mean they don't love and need personal relationships.

Article in English: The greater moisture in a closed container creates a good environment for the growth of bacteria.  Keep your toothbrush in a container when you travel to avoid it picking up dirt or bacteria. Be sure your toothbrush is dry before putting it in the protector or case. Also, be sure to clean your toothbrush protector regularly. Chlorhexidine (found in mouthwash) is the best antibacterial substance to clean the container. This allows water to drain from the bristles. It also keeps them away from bacteria that grows in even trace amounts of water. If you store your toothbrush in a container like a cup, you may have noticed that scum collects at the bottom. If you store your toothbrush on its side or with the brush facing down, it will be lying in that scum. When you flush, tiny water particles containing fecal matter escape the toilet and may land on your toothbrush if it is too close to the toilet. While there is insufficient evidence that these trace amounts of bacteria cause illness, it is best to be safe. once a week. Bacteria that accumulates on the toothbrush holder can be transmitted to the brush, and then to your mouth. It is particularly important to clean your holder regularly if it has a closed bottom, like a cup. Wash your toothbrush holder or cup with soap and water. Do not run it through the dishwasher unless it says it's dishwasher-safe. Never put your electric toothbrush itself in the dishwasher. If you are storing multiple toothbrushes in one container, make sure they do not touch, as this will allow for the transfer of bacteria and bodily fluids from one brush to another.

Article in English: The groin is a highly-sensitive area on the human body. Strike it with a quick kick or punch to send your opponent into a tremendous amount of pain. They will quickly drop to the ground, buying you time to flee or subdue your attacker. Your opponent will have trouble standing up after this, as attacks to the groin usually cause a fair bit of nausea. There aren’t any bones protecting the stomach the way the ribs protect the lungs, which means you can strike an opponent’s stomach and damage their organs without much resistance. Use a closed fist to punch your opponent’s stomach right below the belly button to deliver a powerful strike that will make your attacker bend over. You can also use a bent foot to strike your opponent’s gut if it’s easier. Even if you miss the stomach, hitting your opponent’s bladder or kidneys will have a similar effect. If you can’t strike the stomach directly, opt to kick or punch an opponent’s side, 5–6 in (13–15 cm) beneath the end of their ribcage. This will throw your opponent totally off of their balance while causing them to bend over to the side in pain. This is an excellent option if you want to reposition in a fight and gain the upper hand. If you need to flank your opponent when you’re facing them, strafe 2–3 ft (0.61–0.91 m) with your dominant foot to your dominant side to keep yourself from needing to move both of your feet.

Article in English: The guitar is made up of six strings, with the thickest, heaviest string on top and the thinnest on the bottom. Guitar strings count from the bottom up -- so the thin string is the 1st and the thick string is the 6th. From the bottom up, the notes are E B G D A E. There are a variety of ways to remember the strings, but one of the simplest is:   Every  Boy  Gets  Dessert  At  Easter In western music, notes are written as the letters A - G. After G, the notes cycle back to A, but a higher-pitched version of A. As you move down the fret board (towards the body of the guitar), you cycle down the notes. An E, therefore is higher up the fret board than a F, and a G, and then the next A.  The note before is considered lower. So a B is lower than the next C. A note that occurs later on is a higher note. An E is a higher note than the earlier D. In between the notes are sharps (represented by a #) and flats (represented by a ♭). Sharps are the notes right after a letter, like an A→ A#, and flats are right before a note, like a D♭→ E. Sharps and flats are interchangeable, depending on the song. For example, the note between a C and D is written as either a C# or a D♭. The full set of notes is:  A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G# Notice that there is no such thing as E# or B#. E and B do not ever have sharps, and the notes simply skip from E→F. As such, there is no C♭ or F♭ either. If you remember this small exception to the rule, memorizing the guitar will be easy. The frets of a guitar are numbered, with 0 being an open string, 1 being the fret closest to the head, and so on. A half-step is simply moving from one note to the next (A→ A#), including the sharps and flats, whereas a full-step jumps two notes (A→ B, B→ C#). Each fret represents a half step up from the one before it. So:  On the top string, the first note (an open string) is E.  The first fret on the top string is an F (remember, there is no such thing as E#). The second fret on the top string is an F#.  The third fret on the top string is a G.  This...

Article in English: The health benefits of chia seeds are sometimes over-reported in news or personal anecdotes, but it is true that they are high-energy foods (partially due to the high fat content) and are good sources of some nutrients. One ounce (30 mL or 2 tbsp) of dry chia seeds contains about 138 calories (138 kcal), 5 grams (g) of protein, 9g of fat, and 10g of fiber. They provide significant amounts of useful calcium, magnesium, and potassium, even in small servings. They are most likely good sources of antioxidants and mediocre sources of (digestible) Omega-3 fatty acids, both of which may have beneficial health effects. Claims about weight loss, improved heart health, and improved athletic performance have not yet been verified by scientific studies. More than one study has failed to find any benefits of this type from adding chia seed to your diet. This does not mean that chia seeds are not a healthy food, but don't expect it to change your health or fitness drastically without making other changes to your diet or exercise routine. Chia seeds are high in fat and calories compared to their size, and can provide significant nutritious benefit even in small servings. The large amounts of fiber they contain may cause digestive issues if eaten in large quantities. While there is no "official" recommended serving size, you may wish to limit yourself to 1 or 2 ounces (30–60mL or 2–4 tbsp) of chia seeds each day, especially when you are adding them to your diet for the first time. Chia seeds are relatively bland, with little flavor of their own. When combined with liquids, they take on a gelatinous texture which some people enjoy but other find unpleasant. Fortunately, these qualities make them easy to mix them into other foods. You may eat chia seeds dry, stirred into other foods, or cooked into other foods. None of these methods provide significantly more nutritious benefits than others. If eaten plain, chia seeds will actually start to combine with the saliva in your mouth and begin taking on their trademark gel-like...

Article in English: The heat and light given off by porch lights are like a homing beacon for bugs, which means the simplest way to thin their ranks is to leave them in the dark. Hold off on flipping the switch until there’s not enough light outside to see by.   This may not always be the most practical answer, as many homeowners prefer to leave their porch lights on overnight for safety reasons. Try rigging your porch lights to a timer or light sensor so that they’ll activate at dusk and shut themselves off automatically when the sun begins to rise. Look for specially tinted “bug” bulbs designed to repel insects. The color yellow has one of the highest wavelengths on the visible spectrum—this makes it very hard for bugs to see. Most of them will fly right by without even noticing.  If you don’t want to go to the trouble of replacing all of your porch lights, you can also try lining the fixtures themselves with yellow cellophane to produce the same effect.  One downside of yellow bulbs is that they cast your whole house in a yellow hue. This may not be ideal if you have your sights set on winning your neighborhood’s “most beautiful home” award. LED bulbs emit far less heat than ordinary incandescent bulbs, and their light isn’t as attractive to insects. Most of them also put off a clean, white shine, so you won’t have to see your home awash with the sickly color generated by yellow bulbs. You’ll be able to find LED bulbs in an array of convenient sizes to suit your unique lighting needs at most hardware and home improvement stores. LED bulbs tend to cost a little more than standard light bulbs. For this reason, it may be more economical to reserve them for fixtures nearest the main entrances and exits. Aromatic candles are particularly effective for warding off winged intruders. They also serve as an elegant secondary light source, making them a win-win. For best results, arrange your candles on a table or railing directly below the problematic porch light.  Look for candles containing pungent oils and additives like lemongrass,...

The friction from rubbing your hair against the towel will create frizz and encourage curling. Keep your hair soaking wet for the following steps. This will add extra weight to bear down on the curls and prevent frizz. If you prefer to avoid commercial conditioners, consider applying a natural oil.  Thicker hair would benefit from a thicker oil, such as argan or olive oil. Thinner or finer hair would do better with a lighter oil, such as grape seed oil, or coconut oil. Remember to start with a pea-sized or dime-sized amount of oil depending on the length and thickness of your hair. You can always add more product if needed. If your hair is particularly thick, you may need to divide your hair into 6parts. Brush this section so it is free of any tangles, making sure that the leave-in oils are evenly distributed. Keeping 1 hand on your brush, use the other to gently insert bobby pins every 2 inches (5.1 cm) to secure the section of hair to your scalp. Depending on the length of your hair, the section may wrap all the way across the side, bottom, and opposite side of your scalp. Use as many bobby pins as necessary to keep the section secure. Secure the hair to the scalp with bobby pins placed every 2 inches (5.1 cm). If your hair begins to dry, apply more water with a spray bottle, or by splashing water on your hair with your hands. If you find it uncomfortable to sleep with the bobby pins, try wrapping a towel lightly around your head to pad your scalp. If you develop a headache, you may have placed the bobby pins in too tightly against the scalp. You may want to experiment with different brands to find ones which are the most comfortable against your head. Unless your hair is extremely thick, it will be mostly dried. Don’t pull too vigorously or you may damage your hair. Avoid using a brush, as it will increase volume and frizz. If your...

Article in English: The hedgehog is considered an exotic pet, and keeping one may be subject to certain laws in your state or county. In some places it is illegal, whereas in others you may be required to have a special permit. Check with your local state, city, and county ordinances to learn more about any laws or regulations on owning exotic pets in your town. If you need help finding out about your state's specific regulations, or you need to find a safe home for a hedgehog that you're not legally allowed to have, contact an animal welfare organization or one specifically dedicated to hedgehogs. Hedgehogs bought from responsible breeders are more likely to be well socialized, and because the breeder is familiar with the hedgehogs parents, chances are better that you'll get a healthy pet. That said, it is important to find a good breeder. If you don't, you could end up with a grumpy or sick hedgehog.  Be sure the breeder has quality, pedigree stock with no Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome (WHS) or cancer in their lineage. See that the breeder is USDA licensed. In the US, hedgehog breeders are required to have a USDA license. The purchasing process involves paperwork, in which they will provide you with their license number. Be wary of breeders who post on Craigslist or other online classifieds. Ask the breeder if they offer any health guarantees. Policies may vary, but you are likely to feel more comfortable with your selection if the breeder offers some option to return or exchange the hog if unexpected health problems arise early on. This also alerts them to possible health problems in certain lineages, so concern in this area is a sign of a responsible breeder. There are several signs you can look for in a healthy hedgie before making your selection.  Clear eyes: The hog should appear alert; the eyes should not be crusty, sunken, or swollen. Clean fur and quills: While some anointing is normal (see below), fecal matter around the anus may indicate diarrhea or other underlying health issues. Healthy skin: Crusty skin around the...

Article in English: The height of a triangle can be found if you have 2 sides and the angle in between them, or all three sides. We'll call the sides of the triangle a, b, and c, and the angles, A, B, and C.  If you have all three sides, you'll use Heron's formula, and the formula for the area of a triangle. If you have two sides and an angle, you'll use the formula for the area given two angles and a side. A = 1/2ab(sin C). Heron's formula has two parts. First, you must find the variable s, which is equal to half of the perimeter of the triangle. This is done with this formula: s = (a+b+c)/2. Replace area in the formula with its equivalent in the area of a triangle formula: 1/2bh. This gives you a formula that looks like 1/2bh = 1/2ab(sin C). This can be simplified to h = a(sin C), thereby eliminating one of the side variables.

Determine quais são as variáveis conhecidas. Use a fórmula de Heron se você conhece o valor dos três lados. Se você conhece o valor de um lado e um ângulo, use a equação para área com dois lados e um ângulo.


Article in English: The highest temperature during this time will be 90 °F (32 °C). March to June are the most temperate months, with temperatures staying around 75 °F (24 °C), and this is when most of the flowers and vegetation will be in bloom.   Even though the temperature is never extreme, there is still a good amount of rainfall on Jeju Island during the spring and summer, so make sure to pack a raincoat!   If you want to visit in the fall and winter, be prepared for temperatures in the 40–50 °F (4–10 °C) range. You can use the official Korean Tourism website as a resource to book your ferry trip. Also, plan to bring your own food on the ferry as there aren’t many places to buy food from on board. This is a great way to enjoy the beautiful views of the ocean!  The three main ferry terminals are: Jeju Domestic Ferry Terminal, Jeju International Ferry Terminal, and Seongsanpo Ferry Terminal.  A round-trip ticket for one person will run around $100. There are many international flights to Seoul, and from there you can book a flight to Jeju International Island that will take about 1 hour. It is more affordable to fly into Seoul rather that to Jeju International Airport directly, though direct flights are available.   Most major airlines provide flights into Seoul. Frontier, Spirit, and United airlines offer round-trip tickets, sometime for as low as $200 per person. If you are traveling during the busy tourist season, prices will be higher. Reserving tickets early will help you get the best pricing available for your travel dates.   Check out Jin Air, Jeju Air, and Easter Jet for best prices for your flight from Seoul to Jeju. Tickets will cost anywhere from $50-$100 for a round-trip ticket. Airlines often offer early-bird pricing, so buying your tickets sooner rather than later should save you money. Unless you are a South Korean citizen, you will need a passport to gain entry to Jeju Island. If you don’t already have one, apply for your passport 6 months before your trip to make sure it arrives in time.   Don’t wait until...

Article in English: The hole should be as deep as the root ball that’s formed at the bottom of your pistachio tree. It should be twice as wide as the root ball. Use a shovel or a rake to break up the soil at the edges of the hole which will allow the roots to spread more easily.  Before planting pistachio trees, you should make sure you live in the right climate. They need hot, dry summers to thrive, and don’t do too well in excessive humidity.  During cold winters, pistachio trees also have a period of dormancy. This is normal. Make sure the plant is as vertical as you can get it. You can use a level if you want to make sure it’s completely vertical. Once it’s in the hole, use your fingers to gently pull the roots away from the ball and down into the soil. Start by pulling where the roots meet the trunk. Pick out stones, plants and weeds from the pile of soil. This kind of debris can hinder the growth of your plant. Use a rake or a shovel to transfer the dirt back into the hole. To prevent any air pockets from forming in the soil, water it as you place it back in the hole. Pistachio trees are used to dry climates and don’t require a lot of water. A monthly deep watering should be sufficient to keep them healthy. If you notice that the tree’s leaves start to turn yellow, that means it’s getting too much water and you need to give it less. You should stop watering your pistachio trees around October; this will allow them to go dormant and prepare for the winter.

Article in English: The hospital tank can be an inexpensive aquarium or an older unit not currently in use as a display tank. Do not use substrate (sand or gravel) or live plants. A filtration system that does not use carbon should be used in the hospital tank because carbon may negate some medicines.  Artificial plants may be used to comfort diseased fish. Other types of cover where the fish can hide may be comforting as well. The carbonless filter used should also be lower power in order to avoid disturbing the fish too much. The hospital tank's water must be kept at the appropriate temperature for your fish. Choose a heater that will not vary its temperature too much in order to keep the ailing fish comfortable and safe. Be sure to protect the fish from heater burns as well by blocking the heater from direct contact with the fish. This can be done with any kind of barrier to the heater, such as plastic mesh. Pet stores or aquarium specialty stores can recommend other options for heater barriers. An air stone in an aquarium can help replace oxygen in the water. This is particularly useful in a hospital tank because some medicines can reduce the amount of available oxygen in the water. Air stones are available anywhere aquarium supplies are sold. Some diseases can be inhibited by little or no light, so keeping the aquarium minimally lit and in a dark room can help treat the diseased fish. This depends, of course, on the pathogen, but if your fish's ailment is one that needs light, keeping the aquarium dimly lit and in a dark room may help fight the disease. Check with an aquarium specialist at your pet store, aquarium specialty store, or a veterinarian to see if your fish's ailment can be inhibited via minimal lighting.

Article in English: The ideal Cavalier owner is reasonably active and looking for a dog with a rock-solid gentle temperament to make a good companion for a family. If you are looking for a guard dog, then the Cavalier is definitely not for you, as it is likely to welcome a thief with a lick and a waggy tail. Also, if you wish to go running or hiking with a Cavalier, they are likely to tire and you are better suited to a larger dog. However, if you need a dog that will play heartily and enjoys a good walk but without needing excessive amounts of exercise, then a Cavalier is a good choice. Generally, the Cavalier is a small dog with a long coat. The Cavalier belongs to the toy group of dogs and weighs around 5.4 - 8.0 kg. They have a moderately long coat that is soft and silky. The colors recognized by the US Kennel Club are Blenheim (chestnut markings on a white background), tricolor (black, tan and white), ruby (tan), and black and tan. In practical terms, when choosing a puppy find a breeder who can show that their dogs are free of disease both now and in previous generations. This can be tricky to do, as there is no certified system, but a responsible breeder will be able to prove their dogs have had regular vet checks and no problems were found at annual vaccinations.  Unfortunately there is currently no screening tests that are practical for breeders in order to ensure their breeding stock are clear of many problems common to Cavaliers. The only option for some diseases is for breeders to screen their breeding stock with an MRI scan, but this is costly and thus not normal practice.  With regards to heart disease, the symptoms usually develop in middle age onwards, and so it can be difficult to guarantee a parent is free from heart disease early in its life (when it is likely to have pups). Be aware how important socialization of the puppy is, when it comes to the Cavalier growing into a confident well-adjusted adult dog. The breeder should make efforts for as many different people as possible to meet the puppies from around...

Article in English: The ideal time for a foal to be born is between May and July, when there is plentiful nutritious grass available for the mare to graze on which will benefit her milk supply. Thus, the best time to breed the mare is around June, July, and August, so that she foals 11 months later. When using a stallion to cover a mare, the owner of the stallion will want to know that the mare is clean and does not have any transmissible equine reproductive diseases. They will expect the mare to be swabbed prior to mating. This is done by a veterinarian who swabs the vagina, usually during a heat cycle. The swab is sent to a lab where any organisms are cultured and identified. Make sure your mare is in the prime time of her heat for reproduction. Each estrus cycle takes around 21 days, with the mare being in estrus or 'heat' for an average of 6 days in every 21. She ovulates and is therefore most likely to get pregnant one to two days before the end of the heat, but this does vary with individuals.  For the maximum chance of conception ideally the mare would be covered by a stallion on day 2 or 3 after the beginning of heat, and continue on alternate days until the heat finishes. It can be tricky to know when a mare is coming into season. Some stud farms employ the use of "teaser" stallions who the mare can see but not reach. When she is in heat her hormones make her more interested in seeking male attention and so she may become flirtatious towards the male. In addition, a female horse coming into heat may show signs, such as increased interest in other horses, a change in temperament that is often characterized as moodiness, and increased frequency of urination.

Article in English: The independent variable is the variable that remains constant, where the dependent variable will change depending on the independent variable. Work out which of your 2 variables is the dependent and the independent. For example, if you're comparing temperature with the time of day it is, the hour of the day would be the independent variable, and the temperature would be the dependent variable. In a cell in the top corner of your spreadsheet, write down the name of your independent variable. Put all of the data you have collected in the column below this title, so that 1 variable is in each cell. Move 1 column to the left and repeat the same process with your dependent variable.  Most spreadsheet and graphing programs will expect the independent variable to be in the left column and the dependent variable to be in the right. If your program is different, you may need to edit the scatter plot slightly once it’s generated. If you're comparing temperature with the time of day, you could put 7, 8, 9, 10, and so on down the first column to represent the time of day. Then, input the temperature you recorded in the column beside it. So if it was 55 °F (13 °C) at 7am, you could put 7am in one cell, and 55 in the cell beside it. If you are using Microsoft Excel, you’ll need to select the data you want to turn into a scatter plot by clicking and dragging over it. With your data highlighted, click on the “Insert” tab before selecting the button that looks like a scatter plot in the “Charts” section to create a scatter plot from your data. The scatter plot button has 2 axis with dots scattered in between them, and may be the last button in the “Charts” section. Click on the “Insert” tab and choose the “Chart” option from the drop-down menu. Change the “Chart type” to a scatter chart, and edit the “Data range” so that it covers the area of your spreadsheet where the data sits. This should create a scatter plot of the data you have input.

Article in English: The inner parts of your ear are crucial for both your sense of hearing and balance. Swelling due to the condition can lead to an impairment of both, which then has other cascading effects. The most common effect by which to recognize labyrinthitis include:  Vertigo (a spinning feeling when standing still) Difficulty focusing due to your eyes moving on their own Dizziness Hearing loss Imbalance Nausea and vomiting Tinnitus (ringing or other noises in your ears) Recent viral illnesses (colds and flus), as well as respiratory and ear infections, significantly increase your risk for labyrinthitis. However, a number of more controllable activities can raise your risk for the condition or worsen the condition once you have it. These activities include:  Overconsumption of alcohol Fatigue Severe allergies Smoking Stress Certain medications (such as aspirin) OTC antihistamines are used to treat allergies, and they can help reduce the congestion from a recent infection, which may be what's causing the swelling leading to the labyrinthitis. Common antihistamines include diphenhydramine (Benadryl), cetirizine (Zyrtec), loratadine (Claritin), desloratadine (Clarinex), and fexofenadine (Allegra). Many antihistamines can cause drowsiness, so read the effects on the packaging closely, and always stay within the recommended dosages. Since labyrinthitis is most often caused by a viral infection, you must often wait for your immune system to do its job and beat the virus. During this time you can help reduce any associated dizziness with an OTC medication. The most common OTC medicine for dizziness is meclizine (Bonine, Dramamine, or Antivert). The effects of labyrinthitis usually come as attacks rather than a continuous set of symptoms. When you have an attack of vertigo due to the condition, you can take several steps to help reduce the effects. You should:  Rest as best as you can and try to stay still without moving your head Avoid changing positions or making sudden movements Resume activities slowly Get help walking so...

Article in English: The instructions below can help you understand the duties and skills required of a balloon pilot, but they cannot substitute for real experience. A full balloon pilot's license and training can cost thousands of dollars, but you can start by volunteering to be part of a ground crew. Once you have on-the-ground training, you'll only need about 10 to 15 hours of total flight training to pass the certification test, although this varies by country. Knowing when to cancel a flight is extremely important. Flying in strong winds is dangerous and should not be attempted. Beginners should stick to the first few hours after sunrise and the first few hours before sunset, when wind is usually predictable and low-speed. At the least, the basket should contain a fire extinguisher, a first aid kit, a topographic map, an aviation map, an altimeter, and a log book to record the details of your flight. Check the propane tank's fuel gauge so you can be sure there's enough fuel for the flight — typically about 30 gallons (114 liters) per hour. For longer flights, you'll also need radio equipment, and possibly electronic navigation equipment as well. Almost all balloons require several people to get off the ground. First, the burner is attached to the basket frame, and laid down sideways with the envelope attached and unfolded along the ground. The envelope mouth is lifted open and inflated using a powerful fan for about ten minutes, then heated using the burner. The basket is typically held down by crew members, and/or tied to the ground car until the balloon is ready for lift-off. The basket is righted, the passengers and pilot get in, and the pilot releases a steady flame from the burner to lift off the ground. As the pilot, you should stay alert and watch the inflating envelope and the ground crew's hold on the lines until everything is steady and proceeding as planned. Briefly but methodically check in all directions for all trees or other obstacles the balloon might hit on its way up. Once you feel the first breeze as...

Article in English: The island of Oahu is the most populated island in the Hawaiian chain.  Oahu contains Honolulu and Waikiki Beach.  This island offers the best chances at finding employment as well as great options for entertainment.  Oahu tends to offer higher salaries than most other islands. Honolulu is the most like other major American cities so it can be easy to adjust to culturally. Many of the jobs on Oahu are either tourism or construction based. Maui is actually slightly larger than Oahu in terms of geography, but is far less populated.  Because of that, Maui is great for people who would prefer less hustle and bustle and a bit more relaxation.  There are fewer jobs in Maui to choose from, due in large part to the smaller population. Most jobs in Maui are tourism or agriculture based. Although less hectic than Oahu, Maui still offers lots in the way of entertainment. The Big Island is, as the name implies, the largest of the Hawaiian Island chain.  It offers a similar lifestyle to that of Maui and even Oahu in areas.  Most jobs on the big island are tourism based, but there are also many agricultural jobs on the island. The west shore, or Kona Coast, is where most entertainment and tourism is located. These islands are the least common places to settle for people relocating to the Hawaiian Islands.  While tourism is still a common way to find employment, it is less common on these islands than the larger ones.  There are also state and federal government jobs available on each of these islands. These islands offer the most solitude, but may be difficult to afford due to limited employment options.

Article in English: The jar needs to have a wide mouth for easy access, and be large enough to hold about 1½ cups (350 milliliters).  Extra virgin olive oil is full of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It is great for dry, oily, and aging skin alike. It can help treat acne, eczema, and psoriasis. It can give skin a healthy glow, and make it appear more smooth and youthful. If this is for your face, consider replacing 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 milliliters) of the olive oil with rose hip oil. It has vitamin C and anti-aging properties, making it ideal for dry, aging skin. You can use just one type of oil, or you can use a combination of several different types. The essential oil will make your scrub smell nicer. Some types of essential oil also have additional benefit for the skin.  If this is for your face, reduce the amount to 10 to 15 drops to avoid possible irritations.  For acne, try tea tree, bergamot, or geranium oil. For anti-aging, try pomegranate, grapefruit, or lavender. For a brighter or glowing complexion, use moringa oil or peppermint oil. Dry skin will benefit from rose oil, chamomile, or sunflower oil. Adding 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 milliliters) of freshly-squeezed lemon or lime juice will help brighten up your skin and give the scrub a refreshing fragrance. Another option would be to use 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 grams) of spices, such as cinnamon, apple piece, pumpkin pie, or vanilla. If this is for your face, leave the juice/spices out. White, granulated sugar will work for most people, and is suitable for dry skin. If you have sensitive skin, however, try something with smaller grains, such as castor sugar or brown sugar. To make an extra-exfoliating scrub, add ¼ cup (55 grams) of sugar. While this recipe is for sugar and oil, you can use salt too. Fine sea salt makes for a great, friction-free scrub. Just replace the sugar with the same amount of salt. White sugar is much too harsh for the sensitive, delicate skin on your face. If you are planning to make a face scrub, you should use brown sugar...

Article in English: The key to being confident is to not focus on the negative or things that you cannot control.  You cannot control if you have freckles, instead focus on what you can! Be confident in the clothing you own. Practice outfits you think you want to wear and stand in front of a mirror. Determine if they show off your freckles (or downplay them) in a way that you want. You can minimize or dramatize your freckles depending on what type of shirt or blouse you wear.  For example, if you want to show off your freckles you can wear a simple t-shirt, boat neck, or square neck shirt to show more skin and more freckles. If you want to hide your freckles, you can wear longer-sleeve blouses or high-necked shirts (like a turtle neck). Or, get a haircut that flatters your face. A haircut is a great way to change your look. If you want to draw attention to, or away, from your freckles, doing your hair in a specific style might be a great way to do so.  To draw attention to your face, try a short cut like a bob or a pixie cut.  To draw attention away from your face, try a sweeping updo or keep your hair loose and long.

Article in English: The key to flirting and conversing with your crush is confidence. Your crush can’t see how incredible you are unless you truly believe that you are awesome. You don’t need to strive to be perfect, the most beautiful, the coolest, the smartest, or the funniest person in room—just be the best version of yourself.  Instead of criticizing your appearance, identify your best attributes. Write them down and repeat these positive qualities to yourself whenever you feel insecure. When you look in the mirror, you will start to notice your favorite features instead of focusing on your least favorite features. Make a second list of your best characteristics. Are you a great friend, a hard worker, an awesome teacher, or a talented musician? Do you show compassion and kindness to everyone, are you willing to give others second chances, or do you have the ability to make unbiased decisions? Your best characteristics are some of your most attractive qualities. It is difficult to accept compliments when you lack confidence. You may struggle to accept that someone thinks you’re attractive or talented. Instead of thanking them, you might say, “I’m really not ____” or “Thanks, but I’m not that_____.” Give your self-confidence a boost by accepting these positive comments.  When you start receiving compliments from others, you will start believing that their comments are true. Instead of saying “Thanks, but ____,” simply say “Thanks” and smile. As you grow more comfortable and confident, you can expand your reply. It is way easier to make the excuse, “I have nothing to say,” than it is to actually talk to a crush. This excuse, however, is not valid. You don’t need to have an arsenal full of bizarre facts, funny anecdotes, insightful comments, and probing questions to talk to someone. Instead, you just need to be genuinely interested in what your crush has to say and have a few stock questions in your quiver to jumpstart the conversation. These questions may include:  ”What have you been up to?” ”Have you seen the latest episode...

Article in English: The key to getting the proteins you need is to make sure you are eating a variety of proteins. For instance, eating grains, nuts, legumes, seeds, and meat substitutes can help you get the protein you need.  Very few individual plant proteins don't contain all nine essential amino acids that animal proteins do; however, when combining plant-based foods, you can easily get all nine in your diet. Try brown rice and beans or whole grain bread with peanut butter. Quinoa, buckwheat, and soy are complete proteins (they have all nine essential amino acids) that vegetarians can enjoy. The US Government recommends that adult women aged 19 to 30 get 5.5 ounces or ounce equivalents a day, while adult women aged 31 or older get 5 ounces. Men should get 6.5 ounces or ounce equivalents from age 19 to 30, 6 ounces from age 31 to 50, and 5.5 ounces from age 51 on.  As a guide, here are some "ounce equivalents" of vegetarian foods: 1/2 ounce of nuts (7 walnut halves or 12 almonds), 1/4 cup of beans (cooked), 1 tablespoon of almond or peanut butter, 1/4 cup of cooked peas or lentils, 1/2 ounce of seeds (such as pumpkin or squash seeds), 1 ounce of cooked tempeh, 2 tablespoons of hummus, or 1/4 cup of tofu. If you're skipping dairy, you need to make sure you're getting your calcium intake from other sources. Some good sources of calcium include dark, leafy greens (such as kale, collard greens, or broccoli) and fortified cereals.  Vitamin D is just as important — your body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium. If you're drinking milk, it's probably fortified with vitamin D. However, if you're drinking non-dairy milk, check to see if vitamin D is added. You may need to add a supplement if your food sources don't contain it. Another vitamin you need to pay attention to as a vegetarian is vitamin B12. This vitamin is necessary for muscle repair, and while you easily get it from meat, you need to pay a bit more attention if you're not eating meat.  Dairy products, such as cheese, milk, and yogurt, are all good sources of vitamin B12....

Article in English: The key to having great sex is to be open and honest with your partner. This is especially true after you have a baby. You have both experienced a major life change. This warrants a discussion about how your sex life will change.  Share your feelings. If you are nervous about having sex, talk to your partner. Try saying something like, "I'm still experiencing a lot of tenderness. I am a little anxious about having sex." If your partner is the one who gave birth, you may have your own concerns. Try sharing by saying, "I'm worried that I will hurt you or cause you pain during sex." Validate one another's emotions by listening. By talking to each other, you can connect and exhibit trust. If you are not ready to start having intercourse yet,that's ok. There are other ways that you can reestablish an intimate connection with your partner. Talk to one other about ways that appeal to you both.  Give each other massages. Light some candles, get some scented oils, and help each other relax. You'll feel physically connected without the anxiety. Take a shower together. Let the steam and scented soaps help you feel sexual with each other. You could also try a bubble bath. Touch each other. Hold hands, cuddle during a movie, and kiss each other multiple times throughout the day. You may not be able to immediately resume your normal sexual preferences. For example, missionary position can feel uncomfortable to women who have recently given birth. Consider trying alternate positions so that you can both enjoy sex.  During postpartum sex, it can be helpful to let the woman control the pace and pressure. Try a woman on top position. This way, the female can set the tone during sex. Side-by-side can also be a great way to make sex feel good to both of you. This position typically causes penetration to be less deep, which can be helpful for someone who is healing. Communicate during sex. Tell your partner what feels good and what doesn't. Life after having a baby can be very hectic. You are likely both sleeping much less and a...

Article in English: The kneecap is a vital part of knee anatomy. The knee is a hinge joint made up of the femur, or thigh bone, from above and the tibia, or shin bone, from below. When the large thigh muscle contracts, it pulls on the shin bone and causes the knee to straighten. However, it does not pull directly on the shin bone but via a pulley system formed by the patella. For this system to work, the thigh muscle needs to pull in a straight line. What happens with a luxating patella is that the forces pull at an angle and the kneecap pops out of place. The problems which allow or encourage the kneecap to slip can vary. One problem is a slack joint capsule that means the kneecap isn't tightly anchored. Another is that the groove the patella sits in is too shallow, which allows sideways movement that shouldn't be there. The muscles may also pull at an angle because of the bowed natures of the dog's hind leg bones. Small dogs are especially prone to luxating patellas. This means that the Shih Tzu breed is especially likely to have this condition. Patella luxation is common in dogs that have shortened legs or bowed legs, such as the dachshund, Lhasa apso, Yorkshire terrier, or Shih Tzu. Any age can be affected, but signs often show at a young age because this is a mechanical problem with the direction of pull of muscles and anatomy. Many dogs begin showing signs at eight to 10 weeks. The severity of the condition is determined based on four different grades. The mildest case is considered a Grade 1 while the most severe is a Grade 4. Grade 1 is when the kneecap just pops out of place and returns naturally. Grade 2 is similar, but occasionally the kneecap needs help to manually pop it back in.  Grade 3 is when the kneecap stops popping back into place on its own. The kneecap is popped out unless it is manually popped back in. It will only stay in place for a short while. Grade 4 is the most severe case. The kneecap stays popped out and won’t pop back into place even when manually moved.

Article in English: The lactating dog needs to eat a high quality puppy food that is high in protein and calcium. This will allow her to produce substantial amounts of milk. She should eat puppy food until the puppies are weaned.  Let her eat as much as she wants, which can often be four times her non-pregnant intake. You cannot overfeed her during this period, as making milk for puppies requires a lot of calories. Be aware that the first 24-48 hours after giving birth, she is likely not going to eat much of anything at all. Do not add more calcium to the mother dog’s diet without first talking to your veterinarian. Getting too much calcium can set her up for milk fever later on.  Milk fever is caused by a significant drop in blood calcium levels and typically occurs 2-3 weeks into lactation. The dog’s muscles will start stiffening and the dog may develop tremors. This can lead to seizures because the calcium levels in the blood are too low. If you suspect milk fever, seek immediate veterinary attention. During the first 2-4 weeks, the new mom will be very busy keeping track and taking care of the puppies. She won’t want to be too far from the puppies for very long. It will be important for her to have access to them to keep the puppies warm and fed and clean. Take her out for short bathroom breaks for only 5-10 minutes. If your dog has long fur, give her a “sanitary cut” around her tail and hind legs and her mammary glands to help keep these areas clean once the puppies are born. A groomer or your veterinarian can do this procedure if you do not feel comfortable or do not have the equipment. Mammary gland infections (mastitis) do occur and can get very serious very quickly.  If you see mammary glands that are very red (or purple), hard, hot or painful, there is a problem. In some cases, mastitis has the potential to kill the nursing mother dog. If you suspect mastitis, take the dog immediately to your veterinarian. Even if you have to take her to an emergency veterinary hospital, it must happen immediately., , It is normal for...

Article in English: The larynx naturally dips when we inhale. Maintaining this lowered position is a major component of what some vocalists call singing with an "open throat." Allow your volume to decrease as you sing the lowest notes in your range to ensure your larynx stays relaxed.  Relaxing your larynx will help you to utilize your full low range potential. Many inexperienced vocalists sing with a raised larynx. This produces a much higher, softer sound lacking depth. The second major aspect of an "open throat" is a lifted soft palate. However, this action is largely important for singing higher notes rather than low ones.  The larynx is also colloquially known as the voice box. It is a complex organ that regulates the tension of your vocal cords and consequently the sound of your voice. The Adam's apple, a structure clearly visible on the throat of most men and some women, is part of the larynx. While a longer (or "dropped") larynx will produce a slightly deeper sound, exercising direct control of your larynx will damage your voice. Forcing an unnaturally low (or "depressed") larynx is not advised. Instead, you will work to control and relieve tension in the muscles surrounding it.  Another common mistake is using the tongue to push down on the voice box. While this will technically lower your larynx, it will actually cause the muscles in your throat to tighten, damaging your voice's sound and range.  Remember that the ideal open throat should be free of tension. If you ever find yourself straining, reevaluate your technique. Gently place your hand over it. If you can't see your larynx, feel for a slight bump on the front of your throat right under your jaw. Make sure your fingers are only lightly touching your larynx without exerting pressure on it. Pay attention to any changes in position your larynx may make. Is it moving up with your higher notes?  If you feel your larynx slightly tilt or pivot, rather than move upwards, then you already have this technique mastered. Your larynx must move slightly for your voice to...

Article in English: The last steps you take before getting to sleep are getting your mind to a relaxed enough state to wind down for the night. If you aren't comfortable in bed, you're more likely to take a long time to fall asleep.  Depending on what you like to wear, your pajamas can be loose or tight, soft or stiff. The only thing that matters is that your pajamas are the most comfortable thing in your wardrobe. Make sure your bedroom is cool without being too cold. Shop around for the right pillows, mattress, and bedding that fits your tastes. If some aspect isn't quite right, try a different item if you can. Don't overlook your auditory comfort. If you're sensitive to noise, even minor disturbances can keep you up all night. Run a fan or white noise machine to mask intrusive sounds. The most important aspect of the bedroom for most people is to shut out as much light as possible. Light can trick us into thinking it's daytime, stalling our sleep cycle.  The exception to this rule is a small light for reading that you can easily turn off while lying down. You can use either a lamp with a low-watt bulb on your nightstand or a small book light. If there is a light outside your bedroom window that is too bright, consider installing blackout curtains. The same strategy can be used if you work nights and are forced to sleep while the sun is still up. If your doctor has directed you to take a nightly sleep aid, it's important to take your medication at the right time each night.  There are a wide variety of sleep medicines on the market, each with their own optimal dosing time. Some people react differently to medications and may need to take a sleep aid at a non-standard time. Fast-acting medications, which includes most prescription sleep aids, should generally be taken right before you climb into bed.  Depending on your reason for taking melatonin, you may be advised to take it anywhere from one to five hours before bed.

Article in English: The leather you choose to patch the seat with should be an exact match, if possible, such as an extra swatch of leather that came with the car or a piece of the upholstery from under the seat near the frame. Otherwise, choose another piece of leather with a similar texture and dye it to match your upholstery. The patch should be slightly larger than the hole or tear so that you can attach it to the good leather around the damage. Use sharp scissors to cut out the patch so the edges are neat. In order to keep the glue from hardening the foam interior of the seat, put a piece of wax paper behind the hole or tear that is larger than the patch. Slip it in one side then push the other side through the hole so it is behind the leather. Apply leather adhesive to the edges of the patch. Carefully press the patch over the hole or tear, making sure the patch covers the hole or tear entirely and bonds to the good leather. Refer to the instructions that came with the leather adhesive to find out how long it takes to cure. Avoid sitting on or placing any objects on the seat until the adhesive is dry.

Article in English: The lens of your dog's eye might seem cloudy and bluish-gray. The cataract covering the lens can look crackly or like a chip of ice. It may appear suddenly or develop over several years. Eventually, as the cataract covers more of the lens your dog may go blind. The Boston terrier is a breed that is genetically predisposed to developing cataracts early in life or as part of the aging process. Blurred vision caused by cataracts can make it difficult for your dog to see and you may notice his behavior become clumsier. He may seem less sure of his surroundings. To compensate for this loss of vision, you might notice your dog develop a high-stepped walk. You may also notice your dog:  Bumping into things. Not recognizing people. Misjudging distances. If you think your Boston terrier has cataracts, make an appointment with the veterinarian as soon as possible. The vet can usually make a diagnosis simply by looking at your dog's eyes and a veterinary surgeon can confirm the diagnosis. If your dog is older, the vet will determine if your dog has cataracts or if his eyes are simply changing as part of the aging process. If your dog has a large cataract interfering with his vision, consider getting it removed. Cataracts are usually treated by surgically removing the lens and replacing it with an artificial one. This treatment requires specialist surgery which can be expensive. Surgery can restore vision, but it's important to do the surgery before your dog's vision gets too bad.  You could also consider getting the cataract broken down by a laser. This procedure is called phacoemulsion. It's also an expensive specialist procedure.

Article in English: The lights go first so that you don't see wires all over the other decorations on the tree which is not a pretty sight. Putting up strands of lights can be the most labor-intensive part of decorating a tree.  Do it right, though, and it'll make your tree look more magical than anything else you could do to it.  Follow these tips for maximum light-stringing success:  String the lights from top to bottom, pushing them partway into the branches to hide the cord. Space them evenly.  If you're not sure how even the lights look, step 10 feet (3.0 m) away from the tree and squint your eyes.  Take note of any particularly bright or dark spots. If you were to put the ornaments before the garlands and ribbons there's a chance that the garland can get caught in an ornament hook and make that ornament fall.  Once your lights are up, you can wrap your tree with anything else that should go on beneath the ornaments.  What you choose to use will depend on your personal taste, but consider these points:  Avoid fluffy tinsel.  Fluffy strands of tinsel were a mainstay of mid-century Christmas trees, but they've fallen out of style lately.  If you're a tinsel die-hard or you like the shimmery look, try smaller wire-based garlands that feature smaller pieces of foil, usually cut into shapes like trees or stars. Plastic icicles are difficult to do right.  Like tinsel, strands of plastic icicles with small lights inside them used to be more common.  If you've used them successfully in the past, you probably know how to pull it off without making the plastic really noticeable; if not, though, choose something else.  Icicles are now available in glass and tin and both add shine to your tree. If you like popcorn garlands, keep them white.  That means: no pre-buttered popcorn.  For a look that's as elegant as possible, pop the corn yourself so that it'll be a nice wintry white, instead of yellow-tinged. It's hard to go wrong with metallic or plastic beaded garlands.  As long as you choose a color that fits your scheme and a size...

Article in English: The little dog pattern piece leaves a hole in the stomach for you to turn your animal inside out, but you might need to leave your own hole if you are making a different felt animal. Using the whole you left stuff your animal thoroughly with polyester fiberfill. Make sure the animal is well stuffed but not over stuffed. You want the animal to feel firm without looking like it is going to explode. Use your judgment. You can add whatever pieces you want. The little dog calls for small beads for eyes and some black string for the mouth and nose. You can add designs all over the felt if you desire though. The snake embroidery would consist of little sewing on black circles of fabric or string for eyes, and a little piece of red felt for the tongue. Draw a tongue that appeals to you. Most snakes have forked tongues. This would be the time to add ears, tails, or whatever else your animal might have connected to their body. The little dog will have a tail stitched to the back of his body and two ears connected on top. Remember to turn your body pieces inside out after you sew them to hide the stitching.   Follow the letters on your design piece. If you aren’t sure what pieces are added where, look at which letters correspond to what pieces. For example if you are adding ears to the top of a dog there will be the same letter on the ears as on the top of the body piece. Anywhere with matching letters is supposed to be connected with stitching.

Article in English: The location of your cat shelves is very important. Remember, the shelves are places where your cat will not only sleep, but also run across and jump onto. This means you want to place them away from areas where they can hit something and break it. Keep the shelves away from televisions, cabinets full of expensive items, couches, and beds. You don’t want the cat jumping down from the shelf onto you in the middle of a movie or while you sleep. Make sure to choose a spot in your home where your cat hangs out. Don't place shelves in an area or room where your cat never goes. You want to give your cat access to shelves in their normal areas in your home. For example, if your cat spends most of their time in the living room, find a place in your living room to mount them. If they like to sleep in the spare bedroom, consider placing the shelves there. Choose the height of the shelves based on your cats. Most cats can climb and jump high. However, if you have an overweight cat, a senior cat, or a cat with mobility issues, you should place your shelves lower on the wall.  Instead of having them climb vertically, you may want to spread out different horizontal shelves your cat can easily get to so they have multiple shelves to play on. You may also consider placing some shelves closer together. Instead of a large vertical space for them to jump, place them with a shorter, easier vertical space they can step up on. Before you put up the shelves, take a pencil and draw lines on the wall where you want to put the shelves. If you want to put them in a particular design, figure out where each one will go and how far apart you want them. Make sure you do this ahead of time. You do not want to put up shelves and not like where they are and have to take them down again.

Article in English: The logline is a one sentence summary of the movie. It should contain your protagonist (a hero or heroine), an antagonist (a villain or anti-hero), and a goal that motivates your protagonist. Having a logline will help you stay focused when writing and stay on track. It is also useful as a marketing tool when you are producing the movie and trying to get it made.  The logline should not use the names of the characters. Instead, it should use descriptions of the characters that tell the reader something about them. For example, you may have a logline like: “An Arkansas waitress and a housewife shoot a rapist and take off in a '66 Thunderbird.” The treatment will give financiers and studio executives a clear picture of the movie, and help them decide if it is worth their money. The treatment is a two to five page summary that breaks out the movie into three acts. It will include the title of the film and the logline.  For example, you may have a title like “When Harry Met Sally” or “Bobo the Fish.” Go for a title that is simple and to the point. Avoid long titles. You may then have a logline like: “An Arkansas waitress and a housewife shoot a rapist and take off in a '66 Thunderbird.” The treatment should also include a synopsis that mentions the names of the characters, and provides brief details about them. It will also present a basic idea of how the characters get from major event to major event in the movie. For example, you may write a synopsis like: “Thelma, a timid housewife, joins her friend, headstrong Louise, for a weekend fishing trip. But when Louise shoots and kills a man who tries to rape Thelma at a bar, their trip finds them fleeing to Mexico on the run from the law. Along the way, Thelma finds herself falling for a handsome young thief while a kind detective tries to get them to surrender before it's too late”

Article in English: The longer the scotch sits in the barrel, the more flavor it's going to have. Some scotches are aged over 100 years, which develops the woody flavor. Of course, the more aged it is, the more you'll pay. Scotch must be aged at least 3 years, and if the bottle has a number on it, that typically indicates how long it's been aged.  However, age isn't everything. Some people like very aged whiskys, while others prefer newer ones. Try different varieties to decide what you like. The longer the whisky is aged, the more flavor it will absorb from the barrel, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will taste better. Aging whisky too long can actually ruin its flavor. While each distillery produces unique scotches, you'll find some similarities based on the region the scotch comes from. The 5 regions are Speyside, Highlands, Lowlands, Islay, and Campbeltown.  The Speyside region is known for a nuttier, fruitier flavor, due to the fact that it uses less peat (or sometimes none). It also favors a sherry cask. Glenfiddich, Glen Moray, The Macallan, The Glenlivet, and Tomintoul are all from this region. Whiskys from the Highlands have a bit more variety. Some are heavy and smokey, while others are floral and light. Glenmorangie, Dalmore, Ardmore, Dalwhinnie, and Glengoyne are from this area. In the Lowlands, scotches tend to be a bit mellower and more floral because they are triple distilled. You'll find flavor notes like ginger, toffee, toast, cinnamon, cream, and grass. In this area, you'll find Glenkinchie, Girvan, Linlithgow, Auchentoshan, and Strathclyde. Islay whiskys tend to be heavier with notes of peat smoke and salt. Ardbeg, Kilchoman, Bunnahabhain, Bowmore, Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Caol Ila, and Bruichladdich call this region their home. In the Campbeltown region, you'll find both heavier, smokier whiskys and lighter, citrusy whiskys. Mull, Sky, Orkney, Tobermory, and Jura are from this area. The type of casks used to age the scotch also affects the flavor. All scotch is aged in oak, though different types of oak may...

Article in English: The longer the sweat sits in your clothes, the more likely it is to cause a stain. Rinse your clothes in cold water, paying special attention to the areas where the sweat is most prominent. Many stain removers that you would use on your laundry won't help when it comes to sweat stains, and they may even make the stains worse. Visit a big-box store or go online to find a sweat stain remover, typically costing a little under $20. Avoid using bleach or other harsh chemicals to remove sweat stains — the aluminum reaction can't be fixed by using bleach, and could make the stain worse. Mix together 1⁄4 cup (59 ml) of hydrogen peroxide and 2 teaspoons (9.9 ml) of dish detergent. Rub the mixture onto the sweat stains and wait 1 hour before washing it normally.  Sprinkling a little bit of baking soda over the stains once you apply the mixture of dish detergent and hydrogen peroxide will help remove stubborn sweat stains. This method is safe for most fabrics, but be careful if the fabric is silk or wool. These fabrics are best cared for by a professional. Soak the shirt in a mixture of 2 cups (470 ml) of warm water and 1 cup (240 ml) of warm white vinegar for a half hour. While your shirt is soaking, mix 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of salt, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of hydrogen peroxide, and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of baking soda together to create a paste. Once the shirt is done soaking, apply the paste to the sweat stains and let it sit for 20 minutes before washing the shirt. While this method is safe for most fabrics, it may lighten certain delicate fabrics. If you're unsure of how your fabric will react, test out a small spot first. Cut a lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the sweat stains. How much juice you use is up to you, but be sure to adequately cover the stains. Let the shirt sit out in the sun for the day, allowing the heat and lemon juice to bleach the stains. Since lemon juice bleaches clothing, it's best to use it on white clothing if you're going to be leaving it out in the sun.
