Article in English: Many psychiatric assessments first require a clinical interview, which is where a mental health specialist talks to you. They will ask you about your concerns, why you think you need the assessment, and what is going on with you. They also may ask you about your family history. Based upon your interview, the mental health professional decides what further assessments may be necessary. The mental health professional will observe you closely, including both your body language and what you say. In addition to being interviewed, the mental health professional may request to interview people that you are close to. They may want to interview family members, friends, coworkers, or others you interact with. Interviewing of others requires your written consent. They cannot interview someone without your permission. Another thing often discussed during a psychiatric assessment is your social life and relationships. This may include relationships with your family, partners, children, or friends. They may also ask about your interaction with people at work or in social settings.  They may ask you about your social habits, like how often you date, where you go when you go out, and what kinds of social activities you engage in. You will also talk quite a bit about your childhood, including your family of origin and the dynamics of these relationships. Though it’s important to be open and honest during your assessment so you can get the right diagnosis, you may not be ready to talk about some things. That is okay. You can tell your mental health professional that you are not ready to discuss certain things, but be honest about what you can.  If you need, you can bring a friend or family member with you to support you if you think you need it to discuss difficult things. It’s better to be vague and tell the truth than to lie. For instance, you can confirm that you experienced abuse as a child but decline to discuss it further. This is more ideal than refusing to answer the question or denying that anything occurred.

Article in English: Many recipes abbreviate measurements to make the text quicker and easier to read. However, if you’re not used to the abbreviations, they can be confusing. If you don’t know understand a measurement, use the information below or search online for the meaning of the abbreviation.  Tbsp / T = tablespoon Tsp / t = teaspoon Pile as many dry goods as you can on the spoon to achieve a heaped spoon. Create a rounded hump on top of the spoon to achieve a rounded spoon. Fill the spoon just below the brim to make a scant spoon. These measurements are generally used for dry goods. Liquid measurements are always a level spoon. Most measuring spoons sets will come with ¼ tsp, ½ tsp, ¾ tsp, 1 tsp, and 1 tbsp. So, for instance, if a recipe asks for 1 1/2 teaspoons, measure 1 teaspoon into the bowl and then add 1/2 teaspoon.

Article in English: Many spam bots will send you a message as soon as you are matched with them. This is to lure you in quickly. Even if this doesn’t happen, consider the speed of messages. Do any come faster than a real person should be able to type? If so, it is a spam bot.  Some spam bots may now be programmed to time their responses. Monitor future messages for inconsistencies, such as for responses that seem generic rather than tailored to your conversation, those that sound nonsensical, and those with poor grammar and spelling. One way to test for bots is to send a nonsense message. Type a bunch of random letters like “agdsgdgdf.” Bots will respond to it as if it is a normal message. Most people won’t jump to racy talk when speaking with a stranger through Tinder. Bots however will quickly escalate the conversation such as by suggesting you may get a phone number if you “play with them” or through other sexually charged messages. Soon enough, the bot will ask you to go somewhere else. They’ll give you a link, saying that they want to leave Tinder or talk to you in private on another site. Do not click any link they show you. If you do, do not give up your credit card information.  Some scams will send you a phone number. Don’t give out your phone number or other personal information. Search the phone number through a reverse phone lookup if you are unsure about its legitimacy.  Look out also for quickly-sent links where the spammer tells you something along the lines of “you’ve got to check this out” or “you won’t believe this.” Often, they don’t explain the unsolicited link, but they may also talk about an amazing application, video, or product. Don’t even look at these. Real scammers on Tinder will try to solidify a connection with you. They will ask you lots of questions about yourself, particularly about past relationships and your financial situation. They won’t want to tell you lots of details about themselves, and if they do, look out for any inconsistencies.  Never give out significant personal information when...

Article in English: Many stereos, TVs, audio players, and other devices with digital EQ capabilities come with a set of predetermined audio adjustments based on music or audio genre. For instance, your stereo or music app may have presets for “rock,” “jazz,” “classical,” and so on.  By selecting a preset, the various frequency control points will be “boosted” or “cut” to levels that are considered ideal for a particular type of music or audio. Presets provide a quick way to improve the sound of the audio coming through your headphones, earbuds, or speakers. Analog EQs don’t usually have presets, since you have to manually adjust the sliders yourself. Presets are far from perfect, and should be considered starting points. So many factors go into making music sound “just right”—with personal preference at the top of the list—that you should always consider tinkering with any presets. The ultimate goal for EQ adjustments is to make the audio sound as perfect as possible to your ears—so trust them! If your ears tell you that the bass needs boosted, adjust the lower frequencies no matter what the presets indicate. While personal preference is the number one factor in determining ideal audio, there are numerous other factors at play as well. These include—but aren’t limited to—the quality of your audio equipment, the size and shape of the room  or space you’re in, atmospheric conditions, and ambient noises. For example, you may find that adding a new carpet and couch to your den alters how the "jazz" preset sounds on your home stereo. You may have to do some tinkering to get the sound just right once again. If you want to crank up the bass for your favorite rock album, your first instinct will be to boost the lower-end (for instance, 100 Hz) settings. However, you usually get better results by cutting the other settings and leaving the 100 Hz setting in a neutral position.  Boosting is more likely to add distortions to the audio, especially if you boost a particular frequency range to a significant degree. Cutting is far less likely...

Article in English: Many tabletop games focus on the story, but they also focus on building your character. You will typically sit around a table with a group of people, and take turns describing what your character does.  One of the most popular tabletop roleplay games is Dungeons and Dragons. Typically, you can find a game to join online or in your local gaming/hobby shop. Some games require you to be there in person, while others can be played online.   There are lots of different settings and genres, ranging from fantasy, to science-fiction, to historical, to horror. Some may have other themes too, such as steampunk or western. There are lots of game guides and rule books available online, in bookstores, and at libraries. You can always pick one of these up, and start a game with your friends. Some group meet regularly, while others meet occasionally. This can be as often as once a week to a seldom as once a month or only a few times a year. Also, some games are lighthearted and easy-going, while others are very serious and focused.   If you are just starting out, a lighthearted, easy-going play style might be the best for you. If you are very busy with work and/or school, a group that meets weekly night be too much for you, but a group that meets monthly might be perfect. Some roleplays will focus more on story or setting, while others will focus more on battle and combat. If you are a very active person, a story-focused roleplay might bore you. On the other hand, if you enjoy a good story, a combat-focused roleplay might not be engaging enough for you. There are three main types of roleplays:  Game-oriented roleplays focus on leveling characters via challenges. The battles and monsters become more complex as the characters gain more power. Simulation-oriented roleplays focus on exploring the setting, genre, or theme. Combat tends to be dangerous in these games. Narrative-oriented games focus on how a character's decision affects the story. These games tend to give players more control over setting and story. Every tabletop...

Article in English: Many teachers and administrators prefer that students use the restroom on their own time. Visiting the restroom during passing time and throughout lunch time, teachers argue, increases the amount of time students are present in the classroom. While some students can manage to do this, others simply don't have time in between their classes.  If you have enough time in between classes, make an effort to use the restroom before your next class starts. Teachers will appreciate that you took care of this need prior to entering their class. If your passing times are extremely short or your classes are really far apart, do your best to fit in visits to the restroom between classes. If you simply don't have enough time, ask your teacher for permission to use the bathroom during class. When you need to use the restroom, your teacher may allow you leave the classroom without asking for permission. Instead, they may simply require you to sign-in and sign-out of the classroom when you need to go to the bathroom. This sign-in/out sheet is usually located near the classroom door.  Quietly get up from your seat and walk to the sign-in/sign-out sheet. Fill out your name, the date, the time, and where you are going. If your teacher requires you to take a pre-printed pass, grab one before exiting the room. When you return from the bathroom, sign-in and write down the time you returned. Go back to your seat without disturbing the class. Some teachers have a classroom bathroom pass that they require students to take with them to and from the restroom. This form of pass is often less disruptive to the entire class. Students may take these community passes without asking permission to use the restroom and the teacher is not required to sign any passes.  When you need to use the bathroom, get out of your seat quietly and walk to the classroom restroom passes. Grab the pass and take it with you to the restroom. When you return to class, put the pass back and return to your seat. If you get up to use the bathroom while your teacher...

Article in English: Many word problems look something like this: "A recipe calls for 4 potatoes and 5 carrots. If you want to use 8 potatoes instead, how many carrots will you need to keep the ratio the same?" Many students try to add the same amount of each quantity. You actually need to use multiplication, not addition, to keep the ratio the same. Here's an example of the wrong and right to solve this example:  Wrong method: "8 - 4 = 4, so I added 4 potatoes to the recipe. That means I should take the 5 carrots and add 4 to that too... wait! That's not how ratios work. I'll try again." Right method: "8 ÷ 4 = 2, so I multiplied the number of potatoes by 2. That means I should multiply the 5 carrots by 2 as well. 5 x 2 = 10, so I want 10 carrots total in the new recipe." Some word problems get tricky by switching to a different unit partway through. Convert to the same unit before finding the ratio. Here's an example problem and solution:  A dragon has 500 grams of gold and 10 kilograms of silver. What is the ratio of gold to silver in the dragon's hoard? Grams and kilograms are not the same unit, so we'll need to convert. 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams, so 10 kilograms = 10 kilograms x 1,000grams1kilogram{\displaystyle {\frac {1,000grams}{1kilogram}}} = 10 x 1,000 grams = 10,000 grams. The dragon has 500 grams of gold and 10,000 grams of silver. The ratio of gold to silver is 500gramsGold10,000gramsSilver=5100=120{\displaystyle {\frac {500gramsGold}{10,000gramsSilver}}={\frac {5}{100}}={\frac {1}{20}}}. In ratio word problems, it's much easier to catch mistakes if you write the units after each value. Remember, the same unit on the top and bottom of a fraction cancels out. After you cancel out as much as you can, you should end up with the right units for your answer.  Example problem: If you have six boxes, and in every three boxes there are nine marbles, how many marbles do you have? Wrong method: 6boxes∗3boxes9marbles=...{\displaystyle 6boxes*{\frac {3boxes}{9marbles}}=...} Wait, nothing cancels out, so my answer would be "boxes x...

Article in English: Many, but not all, wireless earphones use Bluetooth technology to connect to your electronic device. The audio is transmitted through the air over a short distance, so you don’t have to worry about any cords tangling or getting in your way. Wireless earphones also come in a variety of styles, so you can usually find a pair you like.  Not all devices are compatible with Bluetooth or other wireless technology, so check this before selecting your earphones. Wireless earphones operate on batteries, so consider if maintaining a battery is something you are willing to do. Think about what your listening environment will be like when using the earphones. If you want total immersion, earphones that block outside noise are ideal. This is great if you’re at home listening over the din of siblings or roommates, but not right when you need to hear another person speak.  For example, if you’re at work or walking on a busy street, you may need to hear the sounds around you. Some earphones have an active noise cancelling feature, although this often requires a battery to operate. Any noise that “leaks” out of the earbuds is noise that people around you can hear. This can be a very annoying problem depending on your environment. Set the earphones aside and listen to see if you can detect sound even while you’re not wearing them.  You will want to minimize sound leakage if you’re going to be near other people and in quiet environments. You can also test this with a friend. Have them stand beside you and listen for any sound leakage.

Article in English: Marble is a sensitive, porous surface, and spilled liquids can stain or etch these surfaces. Acidic substances like coffee, juice, wine or toiletries are especially damaging to marble. Use a microfiber cloth or paper towels to mop up and wipe spills as soon as they happen. Even general purpose cleaners can damage marble surfaces, especially if they contain acids or alkalis. If you’re going to apply a cleaner directly to your marble countertop or floors, make sure it’s specially formulated to clean marble. Condensation rings on marble countertops can etch and stain the surface, so make sure to place coasters under any glass placed on them. When cutting fruits and vegetables, cutting boards will prevent any acids or juices from staining the countertop.

Article in English: Marek’s Disease is caused by the herpes virus. It is very common in silkies. Ask a vet to vaccinate your chicks while they are still young to prevent an outbreak in your flock.  Many breeders try to breed diseases out of their chickens. Take this into consideration as you choose where you get your chickens. Symptoms of this disease include a gray or misshapen eye, lesions on the skin, and weight loss. Unfortunately, there is no cure for this disease. If your birds have been diagnosed with it, you will either need to permanently quarantine them from the healthy birds or euthanize them. Once a week, brush through the silkies’ feathers. Look for any small, black or red moving dots in their skin or feathers. If you notice any mites, take your silkie to the vet.  Other signs of mites include restlessness, excessive biting of the feathers, ruffled or patchy feathers, and skin lesions. Make sure to clean the coop thoroughly if you find mites in 1 of the birds. Use a bird-safe disinfectant. Brooding is when the hen lays fertilized eggs to hatch. The hen will want to move to a different part of the coop. It may resist being touched, or picked up as it sits on its eggs protectively. It may puff up or squawk as you approach it.  After 21 days, move the silkie to a separate crate until the chicks have hatched to protect the eggs. Make sure to give the hen food and water during this time. You can move the chicks back to the coop as soon as they hatch. While you can place the eggs in an incubator, silkies are known to be excellent brooders. This means that they generally won't abandon their eggs or chicks. If you have other breeds of chickens that won’t brood, try giving their eggs to a silkie. Silkies are known to brood any eggs, even egg-shaped items like rocks or tennis balls!

Article in English: Marilyn Monroe had what was considered a curvy figure in her day and wasn't afraid to own it. Though her weight fluctuated between about 115 lbs-140 lbs, she was said to generally measure around 37-23-37, at 5 feet (1.5 m), 5 inches (12.7 cm) tall, with a bra size of a 36D. Unfortunately, though you may have heard she would be a size 12-16 today, with today's sizes, she would be more of a size 4-6. She looked absolutely gorgeous at this size, and you shouldn't try to mimic it, but rather, work to be proud of your body and your curves.  Stay healthy and happy with your body by doing at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, whether you're jogging or doing yoga. Do dumbbell exercises daily to keep your arms toned. Every morning except for Sundays, Marilyn would workout using "bust-firming" moves with her 3-pound dumb-bells. You can try eating like Marilyn on occasion, if you want to see what it was like. She would drink a cup of warm milk with 2 raw eggs whipped together in the milk for breakfast and claimed to eat steak, beef, or liver with at least 10 raw carrots for dinner. During the day she would mostly snack on fruit and veggies. After evening drama classes, she went out for hot-fudge sundaes. Try taking ice-baths, if you can stand it. This will instantly firm up your body. Marilyn did this before her birthday song for John F. Kennedy. She actually took them quite regularly. Marilyn was known for her curves. If you're not curvy yourself, work to create the illusion with your clothes, including padded bras and girdles. For example, a belt cinched in around your waist will instantly give you a sexy, hourglass shape. Marilyn Monroe is an icon known for her extreme sexiness. While you don't have to take it this far, you should work to be a bit playful and sexy, if you want to be more like Marilyn. This doesn't mean you should wear completely revealing clothes, but that you should show off a little leg or shoulder and not be afraid to flaunt what you've got.

Article in English: Maroon is primarily made up of red and blue. Yellow is generally then used to add brownish undertones as necessary. Using pure, primary colours generally works best to create new colours. If you're using non-primary colours, do an internet-research or read your paint or dye's container carefully to determine any undertones and see if they are suitable for creating maroon.  For example, cadmium red already has yellow undertones. If you mix it with blue, and then add yellow, your paint may come out too light. Rose madder, on the other hand, is a cool red with a blue bias. You will get a violet colour when mixing it with blue, which needs to be adjusted with yellow paint. Use an empty paint or dye container to store your maroon as soon as you have it where you want. As it takes time to develop a specific colour, having this maroon on hand in the future allows you to start painting quicker. Also, write down the rough ratios used and adjustments you made to create maroon so you can create a similar colour of maroon using the formula later on.

Article in English: Marshmallows are a classic addition to any kind of hot chocolate, including Nutella hot chocolate! Sprinkle in mini marshmallows right after heating your hot chocolate. The marshmallows will melt slightly but still keep their delightful, fluffy texture! Another classic way to garnish your hot chocolate is to top it with whipped cream and drizzle on chocolate or butterscotch sauce. You can even make your own whipped cream and infuse it with flavors like coffee or hazelnut! To make your drink even more Nutella-y, you can put Nutella into a piping bag used for frosting cakes, then pipe Nutella on top of the whipped cream as a substitute for chocolate sauce. To give your hot chocolate extra crunch, top your Nutella hot chocolate with whipped cream, then add crushed hazelnuts, shaved chocolate, or chocolate chips to your drink. These topping will add texture and crunch to your drink for an even more enjoyable experience! Spiked Nutella hot chocolate is a rich and indulgent treat for those above drinking age. To spike your Nutella hot chocolate, simply pour in your desired amount of bourbon after you have finished preparing the hot chocolate, then mix with a spoon. Bourbon is an alcohol that tastes excellent paired with chocolate. Other good options are rum and chocolate liqueur.

Article in English: Mashed potatoes can be a little bland. Make your healthy mashed potatoes delicious by adding a small handful of fresh, chopped herbs. This will also give your mashed potatoes a great color. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can substitute dried herbs--just use a little less. Try a few of these herbs:  Parsley Tarragon Chives Rosemary Garlic Just because you're making healthy mashed potatoes doesn't mean they can't taste good. Include a little bit of rich flavor which will season the entire dish. For example, include a bit of grated aged cheese or just a little drizzle of olive oil. You can use blue cheese, parmesan, asiago, or your favorite cheese. Remember to use just use a little of the cheese as a garnish. You've probably had really rich mashed potatoes that relied on loads of cream or whole milk for flavor. Instead of using high-calorie dairy products, use a different liquid when mashing the potatoes. Lower calorie options that are flavorful and nutritious include:  Low-fat buttermilk Low-sodium chicken stock Vegetable broth Fat-free evaporated milk Instead of flavoring your mashed potatoes with a dollop of sour cream or melted butter, cut the calories and use Greek yogurt or plain yogurt. You can choose nonfat varieties which will give you calcium and creamy flavor without the high fat content. Keep in mind that the Greek yogurt will give your mashed potatoes a slightly tangy taste. Russet potatoes are a classic potato for mashing, but you can easily swap out a more flavorful potato. Try to choose a red, yellow, or white potato, since their peels are thinner and you can leave them on. They often have a naturally creamy flavor that makes your mashed potatoes tasty without adding butter or cream.  Russet potatoes are higher in starch than the other varieties and you'll need to peel their thick skins before you mash the potatoes. If you'd like to use an entirely different vegetable, give riced cauliflower a try. You can steam cauliflower and rice it, then mash it just like potatoes. If you're using red or...

Article in English: Mask the noise in your ears by turning on background music or other sounds.  You can use tapes or CDs with “white noise” of the ocean, a babbling brook, rainfall, soft music or whatever works to help block out and cover up the sounds in your ears. White noise or other soothing sounds can also be used to help you sleep. This can be important, as many people find it difficult to sleep with tinnitus. At night, the sound in your ears can become the only sound audible and can make it hard to fall asleep. Background noise can serve to provide a peaceful sound to help you sleep. “Brown noise” is a collection of randomly generated sounds and is generally perceived as much deeper sounds than white noise.  “Pink noise” uses lower frequencies and is also perceived as deeper sounds than white noise. Either pink or brown noise is often recommended to help with sleep. Find examples online of both pink and brown noise. Choose the noise that sounds best to you. One of the most common triggers for tinnitus is the presence of loud noises. Avoid these as much as possible.  Some people may not be affected by loud noises. But if you do experience worsening or aggravated tinnitus after hearing loud noises, you’ll know that this may be a trigger for you. A German study involving music therapy in tinnitus showed that music therapy employed in early cases of tinnitus can prevent that tinnitus turns into a chronic condition. This therapy involves listening to your favorite music with its frequency altered to center on the same frequency as the ringing in your ears.

Don't close yourself off or come into a situation with your friend already feeling hostile. Make sure you feel open in your interactions, remaining positive. Foster a climate that encourages problem-solving, such as letting emotions be expressed and obtaining more information when you are unclear.  Don't meet up with your friend expecting to not get along. Instead, meet up expecting that things will go well. Don't be quick to disagree. Instead, take away positive things from your interactions, or redirect to more positive topics. If your friend wants to argue about climate change, say, “It means a lot that you care for the environment. I admire that about you.” If you notice things heating up between you and your friend, create an out. There are often precursors to disagreements that set them off, so stay alert and take note when you feel tension building. Change the subject, transition to a different topic, or tell your friend, “I'd rather not discuss this”. If you have mutual friends, ask them to support you by interrupting with a different topic or changing the direction of the conversation. It doesn't do any good to hold onto grudges. It makes you feel bad and hurts the friendship. Holding a grudge can also make you more prone to find fault in your friend, leading to more disagreements. Learn to forgive your friend and move on to enjoying a friendship again.

Article in English: Maybe you are ending your relationship because you are moving. Or maybe you have just realized that this is not the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. Whatever your reason, it can be very emotional to leave the person you love.  It's important to realize that you can leave someone but still love them. Acknowledge the powerful bond that you have. You can honor the love that you have. But you should also understand that love is not always enough to make a relationship last. Maybe you need to leave because you have a job opportunity far away. Or perhaps you are just incompatible. It is ok to still love someone, but feel the need to move on. If you are the one ending the relationship, it can be very difficult. Remember that it is also hard on your partner. Try to treat the other person with respect and kindness.  Avoid blaming. It's ok to explain why you are leaving, but try to avoid statements such as "It's all your fault I am leaving." Listen to the other person's feelings. If you love this person, you should respect him enough to hear his point of view. Allow both of you time to heal. You will likely both need time to grieve the end of the relationship. Just because your romantic relationship won't continue, that doesn't mean you have to completely cut the other person out of your life. It is possible that in time you can become friends. If this is something you would like to pursue, talk to your partner.  Ask for his honest opinion. Try saying, "I know our relationship won't be continuing as we're used to, but I would like to stay in your life as a friend." Don't expect to make the transition immediately. Give yourselves time to adjust. Avoid contact for 1-2 months. Then gradually begin communicating with each other. If you are used to being in a relationship, being on your own can be a big adjustment. Take some time to think about how you will cope alone. Consider your emotional needs and logistics.  Maybe you are worried that you will experience anxiety after leaving your partner. Ask a...

Article in English: Maybe you don’t have to put on a suit or sit opposite someone behind a big desk like at the bank, but taking out a loan from a friend should not be treated as a trivial matter.  Lending and borrowing money is a big deal and should be treated as such.  Make a presentation or pitch as to why you need the money.  No, you probably don’t need to fire up a PowerPoint on the projector, but provide your friend with a clear idea of your intentions for the money.  You’re taking advantage of (and thus unduly risking) your friendship if you expect “because I just need it” to be a sufficient rationale for your loan. Be realistic about the amount you need to borrow and your ability to repay it.  Do your homework beforehand on precisely how much you need to repair your car, move out of your crummy apartment; take a class to improve your job prospects, etc.  And don’t expect “I’ll pay it back as soon as I can” to be enough; project a repayment schedule and timeframe. A friend will probably want to (or at least feel obligated to) take it easy on you and be lax about any interest owed, collateral, or repayment terms.  You may see this as an advantage for you, but if you are interested in protecting the friendship, be clear that you will only borrow if the terms are fair and clear for both sides, especially the lender’s.  Pay interest.  This demonstrates your appreciation for your friend’s parting with his/her money and your seriousness in paying it back.  Insist upon an amount at least along the lines of the rate for a high-yield savings account at local banks.  Otherwise you’re asking for a gift. Offer collateral.  This is another way to demonstrate that you are serious about this loan and about paying it back.  Offer that TV of yours that your friend envies, or those earrings she always borrows from you.  Discuss missed payment options.  Be clear that you will do everything in your power to avoid missing a payment, but have a clear plan in place if it does occur.  The alternatives can be as formal as a penalty or increased...

Article in English: Maybe you feel shy all the time. Or you might get nervous and quiet in large social situations. Start to analyze what makes you cautious or fearful. Knowing what causes your shyness will help you to get over it faster. Also, realize that shyness is not a personality - it's just an obstacle that stands in your way.   Don't just focus on what you need to improve. Think about your strengths too. Maybe you are withdrawn, but you're also really good at observing people and understanding them. You may also want to identify any specific areas that contribute to your shyness. For example, do you feel shy at informal or formal events? Does the age or status of the person you are speaking to influence your shyness? Once you realize what you're good at, work on those skills even more. This can boost your self-esteem and make you more confident. For example, if you know that you're good at observing and understanding people, pay attention and hone this skill. Really start trying to empathize with people. This may make it easier to strike up a conversation with someone new. Remember that nobody is perfect. Don't let frustration impact your self-esteem. If left alone, this frustration can create insecurity and depression. Instead of focusing on areas you need to improve, acknowledge and appreciate what you are good at. Keep in mind that failure and self-consciousness are part of the learning process, so you are more likely to feel worse before you feel better. It's easy to label yourself as shy and simply retreat from social interactions. Don't associate being shy with being an outcast, weird, or unusual. Instead, accept that you're unique. You don't have to fit in or be just like everyone else. Learn to be comfortable in your own skin. If you're naturally shy, work on your online presence. Use social media to get to know someone better. This isn't necessarily a replacement for social interaction. Instead, social media can help you feel more comfortable with the people you're interested in getting to know better.  Try to...

Article in English: Maybe you need to dispose of your tampon in a public washroom or when you are at a friend’s house for a sleepover or a hang out. You should always start by wrapping the tampon in toilet paper. This will protect your hands from getting blood on them and prevent any blood from the tampon from getting on the floor, the toilet, or all over the garbage. You may decide to wrap the tampon several times in toilet paper to protect it, especially if you are at a friend’s house and want to dispose of it discreetly. If you are removing the tampon in a public washroom, there is often a small metal bin beside the toilet that you can open and place the tampon in. It may be marked “tampons only” or “sanitary napkins only.” You should close the lid of the metal bin once you have deposited the tampon. Often these disposal bins are emptied by cleaning staff once a day. If you are at a friend’s house for a sleepover or a hang out and have to dispose of your tampon, you should place it in their garbage. Never flush it down the toilet, as this can clog the toilet. You should avoid putting the tampon in your bag or in your pocket, even if it is wrapped in toilet paper. Tampons can have a strong smell due to the blood and menstrual material on it so you do not want to find a smelly tampon in your bag or in your pocket later. If you are camping or you do not have access to a proper washroom for whatever reason, you should try to wrap the tampon in toilet paper, a paper towel or a piece of paper, in a pinch. Then, you should place the tampon in a paper or plastic bag. This will ensure the tampon does not leak blood or get blood everywhere. You should then try to throw the bag away as soon as you can in a proper garbage.

Article in English: Meanwhile, lightly grease a 9-inch by 13-inch (23-cm by 33-cm) baking dish with cooking spray or shortening. Even if you're making the dressing immediately after making the cornbread, it's still a good idea to turn the oven off in between. The cornbread will need to cool for several hours before you can work with it, and leaving the oven on during that entire time would be a significant waste of energy. Crumble the cooled cornbread into a large bowl or stockpot. Break up the toast with your hands and add it to the cornbread crumbles, stirring gently to combine.  Note that the prepared cornbread will produce roughly 4 cups (1 L) of crumbles. The white bread can be toasted in the oven or with a toaster. If preferred, you could skip the bread and use 3 cups (750 ml) herb-seasoned stuffing, herb-seasoned croutons, or crumbled biscuits. Cut the butter into chunks and toss it into a large skillet. Place the skillet on your stove over medium heat and allow the butter to melt. Butter will produce the richest, most traditional flavor, but margarine can be used as a substitute. Liquid cooking oils are less ideal, however. Add the diced onion and diced celery to the melted butter. Cook the vegetables for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the onion turns translucent and both become notably soft. You can save time by using packaged, pre-diced vegetables instead of chopping the vegetables yourself. If you choose to do this, you'll need about 1 cup (250 ml) diced onion and 1 cup (250 ml) diced celery. Carefully pour the onion and celery mixture into the cornbread mixture, then stir the ingredients together until evenly combined. Scrape all of the melted butter out of the skillet and into the cornbread mixture, too. Do not strain the cooked vegetables from the butter. Add the broth into the cornbread-vegetable mixture 1 cup (250 ml) at a time, stirring well after each addition. Only add as much broth as needed to make the dressing thick and slightly soupy. The dressing does need to be thoroughly moist to avoid drying it out in the...

Article in English: Meanwhile, prepare a roasting rack by lightly coating it with nonstick cooking spray. If you don't have a roasting rack, you can cook the ears of corn directly on the oven rack. Do not coat the oven rack with nonstick cooking spray, but thoroughly clean it before and after roasting the corn. Arrange the ears of corn over the prepared roasting rack. Place the roasting rack on the middle shelf of the oven, and bake the corn for approximately 30 minutes, or until it is tender and cooked through.  Note that you should keep the husks on the corn when using the roasting technique. Do not husk the corn before cooking it. The exact amount of cooking time will vary depending on the size of the ears and the level of doneness you prefer. You should begin checking the corn after 25 minutes. Continue checking it every 5 to 10 minutes after that, cooking the corn up to 45 minutes if needed. Remove the finished corn from the oven. Let it cool slightly, then peel away the husks.  Place the corn on a separate cooling rack and wait at least 5 minutes for it to cool. Once you can safely handle it without burning your fingers, peel off the husks. You can either completely remove the husks or wrap them around the stem end of each ear to serve as a handle. Spread the butter evenly over each ear of corn, then coat all sides of the corn with a thin layer of mayonnaise.  You can either roll the corn in the melted butter or brush the butter on using a pastry brush. Use a butter knife or spoon to spread the mayonnaise. Sprinkle the corn with chili powder, chopped cilantro, and cotija cheese. Apply as much or as little as desired according to your sense of taste. Note that cotija cheese is the most conventional option, but if you don't have any, you can substitute grated Parmesan or Romano cheese. Finely crumbled Feta cheese could also work. Cut the lime into wedges. Immediately serve the corn with one or two of these lime wedges and enjoy it while it's still hot.

Article in English: Measure 1 cup (250 mL) of your favourite type of milk into a small saucepan. Place the saucepan on the stovetop at a high heat and wait for it to boil.  If you are lactose intolerant, almond, coconut, soy, and oat milk will work for this recipe. If you want creamy tasting oats, use full-fat milk. Multiply the ingredients by the number of people you are serving. For example, if you are serving 5 people, add 5 portions of each ingredient. Remove the saucepan of oats from the heat and place it on a wooden chopping board or heat-proof pad. This allows the oats to continue to soften and makes them a more palatable temperature to eat. If the oats still feel too hot to eat after 3 minutes, leave them to cool for another 2 minutes.

Article in English: Measure 2 cups (300 g) of glutinous rice flour into a bowl, then add 1 cup (240 mL) of water. Stir everything together with a fork, then turn the dough onto a flat surface and knead it a few times.  Make sure that you are using glutinous rice flour and not regular rice flour, otherwise the rice balls won't be chewy. Despite its name, glutinous rice flour does not actually contain any gluten. The dough should feel stiff, yet pliable. If it is too sticky, add a little bit more glutinous rice flour. If it is too dry, add a splash of water. Knead the dough after each addition you make. You don't have to do this if you don't want to, but it can add a nice touch to the completed dish. Simply add 1 to 2 drops of food coloring into the dough, then knead it in until the color is consistent.  Add more drops of food coloring until you get the shade you want. Pink, pastel purple, pale green, and light orange are especially popular. To make multiple colors, divide the dough into separate batches first, then color each batch separately. Use your fingers to pinch off about a ½ tablespoon worth of dough. Roll the dough between your palms to form a smooth ball, then set it aside on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Repeat the process to make about 20 to 25 balls. Set the baking sheet aside some place where it won't be bumped while you prepare the rest of the recipe. A counter at room temperature would be the best.

Article in English: Measure 4 cups (700 g) of idli rice into a large bowl and fill it with cold water. Use a spoon or your hand to swish the rice around. Drain the water out and pour clean water into the bowl. Continue to swish and drain the water until it's clear. Rinsing the rice will make the idlis whiter. Pour enough clean water into the bowl to cover the rice. Soak the rice at room temperature for 3 to 5 hours so it swells and softens. You don't need to measure the water because you'll drain it before grinding the rice. Measure 1 cup (200 g) of urad dal into a separate bowl. Fill it with clean water so the dal is covered. Soak the dal at room temperature until it softens. There's no need to measure the water because you'll be draining it off. If you're using the fenugreek seeds, measure 1 tablespoon (11 g) of fenugreek seeds (Vendhayam) into a small bowl and pour enough water to cover the seeds. Soak them at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours. Drain the soaked fenugreek seeds into a fine mesh strainer in the sink. Place the seeds into the wet grinder and pour in 1/2 cup (120 ml) of water. Turn the wet grinder on and grind the seeds for 3 to 4 minutes. The seeds should become completely ground into a smooth paste. Pour the soaked urad dal through the strainer and transfer the dal to the grinder with the fenugreek. Add another 1/2 cup (120 ml) of water to the wet grinder. Turn the wet grinder on and leave it running for 30 minutes. The dal and fenugreek should become completely smooth. The amount should also increase by 8 to 10 times. Scoop the ground dal mixture into a large bowl and set it aside. Drain the soaked idli rice through the strainer and transfer the rice to the wet grinder. Pour the water into the grinder with the rice and turn the grinder on. Grind the rice until it's completely smooth. Turn off the wet grinder and transfer the ground rice to the bowl with the dal. Measure 2 tablespoons (34 g) of salt into the bowl with the ground dal and rice. Stir the batter until it's smooth and combined. Cover the bowl with...

Article in English: Measure out 2 cups (474 ml) of regular Mountain Dew and pour it into a tall glass. Add in the cup (237 ml) of Gatorade and stir to combine. As the two liquids come together, the drink will take on an aquamarine color similar to Baja Blast.  To make a larger batch, double or triple the quantities of each drink. Stick with a two-to-one ratio of Mountain Dew and Gatorade.  Even though Baja Blast has a tropical-lime flavor, the best homemade version uses Cool Blue Gatorade, and not any of the lime or tropical flavors. For a refreshing cold beverage, add a few cubes of ice to the glass and serve it chilled. You can also refrigerate the drink for 30 minutes to chill it without watering it down. You can also turn your Baja Blast into a slushy, and to do that you'll need plenty of ice and a blender. Combine the Baja Blast in the blender with about 18 cubes of ice. Blend the mixture on Snow or Ice Crush mode for about a minute, or until there are no large chunks of ice left. Transfer the slushy to a tall glass and enjoy.

Article in English: Measure out as much spaghetti as you'd like to cook in the microwave. Then break the noodles into halves or thirds and put them in a microwave-safe bowl. You can use room temperature water or just run water from the tap into the bowl. It's important that the noodles are completely submerged. The noodles will double or triple in size as they cook which is why they need to be covered with the water. Put the bowl in the microwave and read the pasta cooking instructions. Set the timer for 3 minutes longer than the manufacturer's recommendations. For example, if the package says to boil the noodles for 9 minutes, you'll need to microwave them for 12 minutes. Carefully remove the hot bowl from the microwave. Set a colander in the sink and slowly pour the hot pasta into it so the water drains into the sink. Then top the cooked pasta with your favorite sauce. Refrigerate leftover cooked pasta in an airtight container for up to 3 to 5 days.

Article in English: Measure out your favorite cooking oil and coat a medium-sized non-stick sauté pan with it. Place the pan over medium heat and let the oil get hot. It will take 1 to 2 minutes, approximately. Mince 1 clove of garlic and let it sauté in the hot oil, if desired. Use a wooden spoon to toss and stir the zoodles occasionally as they cook. If you like softer zoodles, or if you’re cooking a large amount, aim for 3 to 5 minutes. While the zoodles cook, add salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Remove the sauté pan from heat immediately to avoid overcooking. Lemon garlic shrimp sauce is a really popular one for this cooking method, although you can use any sauce that you want. Feel free to experiment! Go with thicker sauces and avoid runny ones, since the zoodles tend to get soggy easily. Top with Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast, if desired, and dig in.

Article in English: Measure portions and be mindful of calories so you can maintain a healthy weight.  If you gain weight, are overweight or obese your risk for heart disease increases.  If you're looking to avoid foods that could damage your heart, you should also focus on foods and an eating pattern that can protect your heart.  Measuring the appropriate portion sizes of foods and counting calories can help keep your weight in check or even help you lose weight. Your total meal portion size should be between one to two cups total.  Use a food scale or measuring cups to keep yourself on track. You may also want to count calories.  You can use an online calculator to figure out how many calories you need daily.  In general women need about 1,800 calories daily and men need about 2,200 calories daily. Since trans fats, saturated fats and red meat should either be avoided or minimized in your diet, you'll need to focus on other protein sources instead.  Stick to lean protein options to help support your healthy weight and your heart.  Lean proteins are naturally lower in calories and fat - especially the unhealthy types of fat.  This makes them a preferable choice for your heart healthy diet. Leaner protein sources include:  poultry, eggs, low-fat dairy, lean cuts of beef, lean pork, seafood, tofu and legumes. Also make sure to measure your protein.  Measure out about 3–4 oz or about a 1/2 cup of items like beans or lentils. Although fats like trans fat and saturated fat are things you want to avoid or minimize, there are actually some types of fat that you want to include in your diet.  These are typically referred to as "heart healthy" fats.  There are two groups of heart healthy fats that you should focus on:  monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.  Both offer great benefits to your heart.  Monounsaturated fats are found in foods like:  olive oil, canola oil, sesame oil and peanut oil.  Cook with these oils, use them in salad dressings or drizzle over steamed vegetables. Polyunsaturated fats include omega-3 fats and are...

Article in English: Measure the depth, width and height of the radiator, taking care to add a couple of inches or centimeters to the dimensions. The idea is to make the cover large enough to easily slide over the radiator. For example, a radiator that is 10 inches (25cm) deep, 20 inches (50cm) tall, and 30 inches (76cm) wide, you might need 12 inches (30cm) clearance in depth, 22 inches (55cm) clearance in height, and 32 inches (81cm) clearance in width. This will give you a snug but still comfortable cover for your radiator. Lots of homeowners prefer the warm touch of wood over their radiator, but that doesn't need to be the case. Here are some options you might consider:  Fiberboard. Fiberboard, or MDF (medium density fiberboard) is a combination of sawdust and resins packed tightly together. It is inexpensive, takes paint well, and won't require miters that plywoods require. On the downside, it doesn't take wood stains especially well.  Veneered plywood. Veneered plywood is incredibly sturdy and beautiful unfinished, but also takes a wood stain really nicely. On the flip side, it is considerably more expensive than MDF, and probably requires some mitering on the edges of the plywood so that you don't see the center of the plywood core. Because the heat from the radiator needs to escape the box cover, many covers have detailed sheet metal with small holes. Choose a piece of sheet metal, like a stamped aluminum sheet, with a detail that suits both the rest of the cover and the room in which the cover will be placed. Cove molding is relatively inexpensive and will go a long way in making your final piece look professional and impressive. If you don't have a miter saw (or a miter box and a handsaw) at home to cut the molding at a 45° angle with, be sure to get your molding cut before you leave the hardware supply store. This piece of sheet metal can be galvanized steel, for example. You'll use it on the wall behind the cover to radiate heat back into the room and supercharge the efficiency of the radiator.

Article in English: Measure the full neckline of your shirt with a flexible ruler or measuring tape. Subtract 4 inches (10 cm) from this measurement, then cut a piece of ribbing to that length.  Ribbing is is a type of knit fabric with vertical ribs. You can technically use non-ribbed knits for your collar, but ribbing is generally preferred since it has an even greater amount of elasticity. Cut the width of the ribbing to double the amount of your final collar width. The vertical ribs should run parallel to the width of the collar and perpendicular to the length of the collar. Fold the ribbing in half lengthwise, then use an iron to press the fold. Note that the right-sides should be facing as you do this. Fold the ribbing in half crosswise. Stitch the width ends of the strip together, using a 1/4-inch (6-mm) seam allowance.

Article in English: Measure the pipe and draw a line where you will cut using a maker. Use a PVC pipe cutter or a hacksaw to cut the PVC pipe. One set of holes will be used to attach the base. The other set of holes will be used to hang the bag. Trace the outline of where you will be cutting with a compass. You can also trace the bottom of a 5-gallon bucket. Use a saw to cut a 10” diameter circle out of the plywood. Then draw a 4-inch diameter circle and cut that out of the plywood. Place the plywood inside of the PVC pipe so that it’s even with the holes you drilled. Drill screws through these holes to secure the plywood to PVC pipe. Place the 10-inch piece on the bottom of the pipe where the 4-inch piece is. Drill screws through the 10-inch and 4-inch pieces of plywood so that they are connected. You want the carpet to roughly match the size of the PVC pipe. You want to leave about four inches of pipe uncovered at the top of the punching bag so that the holes you drilled are exposed. Start by taping one edge of the carpet padding to the pipe and then slowly roll the pipe until the carpet padding is completely wrapped around the pipe. Once all of the carpet padding is on the pipe, tape down the loose edge of the carpet using duct tape. Make sure you wrap the pipe as tightly as possible as you want the bag to be solid when you punch it. Take the roll of duct tape and attach a piece of tape to the carpet closest to the base. Start rolling the tape around the carpet padding on the PVC pipe. Make sure you overlap as you tape so that you have very tight layers. You will cover every bit of exposed carpet padding that runs the length of the pipe with tape. Apply as much tape as you can to the top of the carpet, but don’t worry about completely covering it. Make sure both ends of the rope are equal in length and then tie them together. Find out where you want to hang the bag. If you are hanging the bag from the ceiling, be sure to hang it from a stud so that the bag does not fall and injure you.

Article in English: Measure the rooms and decide if your current furniture will fit, or if you will have to acquire new pieces. Create separate living areas. This is especially important if you have one large living space instead of a separate bedroom, kitchen and living room, place. Use your furniture to divide up the area. This will save you space. For example, use ottomans or benches that open up and provide storage or a bed with drawers underneath. There is no need to have a piece of furniture in every empty spot. Put a chair in a corner to create a reading space or get a desk that fits a corner so you have a work area. Use all of your available storage and if necessary, borrow space in a friend's basement, attic or spare room to keep whatever you cannot fit.

Article in English: Medications such as phenothiazines, birth control pills, phenytoin, hydralazine, quinine, ACE inhibitors and amoxicillin are drugs that can induce LA. If you believe your LA is caused by a medication you are taking discontinuing the medication can help. However, you should not discontinue any medication until you have confirmed with your doctor that it will be safe to do so. to improve blood flow. The nicotine in cigarettes constricts the blood vessels and impedes blood flow. Smoking will only exacerbate the formation of blood clots, so it is best to abstain from it completely. Exercise minimizes the chance of blood clot formation by improving blood flow to different parts of the body. Exercises such as brisk walking, jogging, stair climbing, cycling, swimming and aerobics all offer good ways to get moving. Avoid sports or exercises with a high risk of injury, especially if you are on medication which makes it more difficult for your blood to clot. Obesity leads to overproduction of substances in the body that come from fat cells and liver cells. These substances can inhibit clot breakdown and promote clot formation. Binge drinking makes platelets more likely to clump together into blood clots, which can lead to heart attack or stroke. According to a study by Harvard researchers in 2005, binge drinking doubled the risk of death among people who had initially survived a heart attack. Binge drinking is defined by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) as patterns of drinking that bring blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels to 0.08 grams per decilitre. For men, this usually means about 5 drinks over about a 2 hour period, for women this is typically 4 drinks in about a two hour period.  Keep in mind, however, that BAC is affected by many other factors besides gender. Vitamin K is responsible for the clotting of the blood. High intake of foods rich in vitamin K can contribute to blood clotting in persons with lupus anticoagulants. Also, if you are on anticoagulant therapy, such as...

Article in English: Meditation is one productive activity that you can do while remaining silent. While not all types of meditation are silent, many are. Silent meditation techniques can help you reflect on yourself, clear your head, and also pass the time.  Try taking slow, deep breaths in and out. Close your eyes and focus only on the air entering and leaving your lungs. Sit cross-legged with your eyes closed and visualize an empty bowl on the ground in front of you. When a thought comes to you, put it in the bowl, empty the bowl, and then put it back in front of you. If staying silent makes you feel like you can't express yourself enough, consider writing your thoughts down in a journal. In addition to allowing you to express yourself, this can help you become more self-aware and hold yourself accountable. Recognize your urges to break the silence. Whenever you find yourself struggling to stay silent, make note of the moment and reflect on the reason why you felt compelled to speak in your journal. This may help you learn a lot about yourself. Reading may give you something to think about besides your own thoughts. When you feel like you can't make it through the day without speaking, take out one of your favorite novels and read a few chapters to switch your frame of mind. If you really enjoy music, listening to it may also distract you from your own silence. Put on some headphones and play some of your favorite songs so that you don't feel quite as compelled to speak.

Article in English: Meeting people is helped by appearing open and willing to be approached. This includes using open body language, smiling and presenting a broadly positive demeanor.  As well as good grooming, your body language has a big impact on whether or not someone feels able to approach you. Moreover, the tone, speed and volume of your voice has an impact too. Look and act confident. Self-doubt is noticeable by other people; prepare yourself mentally to be confident and fake it if need be! Stay positive––nobody wants to hear a litany of woes the first time they meet you. Even if life is treating you unkindly at the moment, don't pass this on to her when you first meet. She may be stunning, but she won't stay near you if all you can do is stare at her breasts. Focus on her as a person; take in her face and truly listen to what she is saying. Maintain good eye contact without staring her out.  Remember her name. Use her name when talking to her--she'll feel subconsciously more at ease with you. Value the place of small talk. It may be tiny, but it's a safe approach for getting to know one another better. Moreover, it's not what you say at this stage but how you say it: with warmth, friendliness and interest. Everyone is nervous when meeting someone new and wanting more than just a mere handshake from them. But it's important to settle your anxiety as much as possible by reminding yourself that you're worthy.  Avoid seeing the meeting as an audition. This causes you to put yourself on show and to treat her as being on show too. This can only end badly when things don't go according to script. Instead, relax into yourself and treat this as a fun opportunity to get to know someone without worrying about where it may or may not lead. If you think you're good enough for the woman in question, she'll sense this and reciprocate your confident stance. If you act unworthy, you risk being treated as such. Attract the response you want by being confident and engaged in the moment. Try to find out what this woman really loves in the...

Article in English: Meeting someone will open up a new relationship, and you should not let your fear and insecurities from the past affect it. Often times, people who have been cheated on take out their feelings on a new partner.   Fear that someone will cheat on you can make you close yourself off emotionally from your new partner. Fear can also make you prematurely end a good relationship based on the assumption that your new partner will cheat on you. Insecurity from the past can also hold you back from finding a good partner. This insecurity can lead you to stay with someone who might be bad for you. Leave your fears and insecurities behind before you date someone new. A new dating partner or relationship brings new and exciting adventures into your life. Try a new activity in your area to meet a new group of people.   Date someone a little different from your last relationship. Get a new “type”. If you are into a certain set of qualities and your ex is a perfect representation of them, it might be time to look for new attractions in a partner. While the “bad boy” or “bad girl” image may be appealing, these types may not make the best long term relationship partners. Think about what you want from your love life. Decide whether you want a relationship full of twists and turns, or one that is more smooth sailing. Find a partner who is looking for the same type of relationship. Assuming your next boyfriend or girlfriend will cheat will sabotage that relationship. Being too controlling with your new partner can make that person feel stifled and restricted.  Don’t expect your new partner to serve the sentence for the crime committed by your ex. That is, don’t punish your new partner for your ex’s infidelity. Don’t send the message that you expect this new person to cheat on you. If you aren’t at the point where you can treat a new relationship with trust, you are not ready to date someone new.

Article in English: Meiotic replication is responsible for an organism’s ability to reproduce half the number of cells as the daughter cells have, also known as haploid cells. When an organism reproduces, it makes gametes. These cells do not have complete sets of DNA. They have half the number of chromosomes as cells produced in mitotic replication.  For example, the meiotic sperm and egg cells each bring half a full set of chromosomes. Pollen is a gamete. Like human gametes, it carries half the number of chromosomes as other plant cells. Synapsis describes the process that 2 chromosomal pairs use to share and exchange DNA. This process is a part of meiosis, but not a part of mitosis, so it should help you to distinguish the 2 processes.  Synapsis is when 2 ends of chromosomes meet and share genetic information with each other. After the cells separate, the genetic information will be mingled in 2 of the 4 cells. This happens during prophase 1 of meiosis. This process is not the same as chromosomal crossover, where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material. In meiosis, the cell divides more than it does in mitosis. This is crucial to the production of gametes. Because gametes need to have half the number of chromosomes as normal cells, cells divide twice in meiotic reproduction, which is known as Meiosis I and Meiosis II. This means that each phase 1 might find in mitosis is found twice in meiosis:  First, the DNA replicates, just like it does in mitosis. Then, 1 cell divides into 2 cells, which also looks the same as it does with mitosis. The homologous pairs divide in the first round of cell divisions (Meiosis I). Then, the sister chromatids divide again in the second round (Meiosis II). Last, the 2 cells divide again. This third cell division is not present in mitosis, so it should help you to tell the difference between mitosis and meiosis. With meiotic cell division, there will be 4, final daughter cells. This number is required to create cells that have half the number of chromosomes that the parent cells did....

Article in English: Melt ½ cup (110g) butter, either on the stove or in the the microwave. If you are using the microwave, take the butter out and stir it every 15–30 seconds. Blend extra-firm, silken tofu in a blender or food processor until there are no chunks or signs of graininess. You'll probably need to add a little of the melted butter or a little water to get it to blend smoothly. Blend in pulses to avoid overheating your blender. You'll need approximately 10 grams of solid tofu to make ½ cup (120 mL) liquid tofu. Stir ½ cup (120 mL) cocoa powder into the butter until it dissolves. Next, stir in 1 cup (200g) sugar until lit forms a thick mixture. Gradually stir in ½ cup (120 mL) pureed silken tofu, 2 tsp (10 mL) vanilla essence, and ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt. Finally, mix in ½ cup (60g) flour until the batter is homogenous. Optionally, stir in ½ cup (120 mL) chopped nuts as well. Grease an 8" x 8" (20 x 20 cm) pan, or line with parchment paper. This is a thick batter, so you'll need to spoon it onto the pan instead of pouring it. Spread the batter with the back of a large spoon until it's pressed against the edges and has a smooth surface. Even if the brownies don't seem completely cooked, you may want to remove them at this point to prevent the surface drying out. The brownies will continue to cook for a short time after they are removed. It can take two or three hours before the pan cools down. The brownies may fall apart if you try to slice them while the pan is still hot. To speed up the cooling, place the pan on top of a sturdy wire rack.

Article in English: Members of The Church of Latter-day Saints are discouraged from dating until they are 16. If the person you are interested in is under 16, they are not likely going to date you. Keep in mind that once a person turns 16, it does not mean they are necessarily going to want to date. When they do begin to date, it is encouraged that it is casual only and not serious, such as dating as friends or in groups. Mormons are encouraged to eat healthy and take care of their bodies. They're discouraged from drinking alcoholic beverages, coffee, tea, smoking of any kind, and use illegal and illicit drugs. If these are things you enjoy doing, don't consider dating a Mormon. ” Mormons do not believe in sex before marriage. They only believe sexual relations are okay after you are married and only with your husband or wife. The law of chastity also includes not passionately kissing, not lying on top of another person, and not touching private parts of another person’s body. Arousing sexual emotions in any way before marriage is not allowed.  The law of chastity also includes dressing and speaking about chastity appropriately. Viewing pornography or watching movies with nudity is not allowed. While these are the guidelines of The Church of Latter-day Saints, everyone is different. Don’t just assume something about someone because of their religion. Let them open up to you about what their personal beliefs and choices are.

Article in English: Men are more likely to develop hernias than women. According to studies, even if a hernia that is present at birth — which is common in newborn babies — most of them are in male babies. The same is true throughout adult life! Men's greater risk can be explained through a hernia's connection to having undescended testicles. This is because a man’s testicles descend through the inguinal canal shortly before birth. A male's inguinal canal — which holds the chords that connect with the testicles — usually closes after birth. In some cases, though, it does not close properly, making hernias more likely. If you have a family member with a history of having hernia's, you are at a greater risk yourself. Some hereditary disorders affect connective tissues and muscles, and leave you vulnerable to hernia.  Keep in mind that this genetic likelihood only applies to hereditary defects.  In general, there's no known genetic pattern for hernias. If you have a history of hernias yourself, you're at higher risk of having another one in the future. Cystic fibrosis (a life-threatening lung condition) fills the lungs with thick mucus plugs.  Patients with this condition develop a chronic cough as the body attempts to clear away the mucus plugs.  This increased pressure from coughing is a risk factor of having hernias. This kind of cough puts so much pressure and force on your lungs that it damages the muscle walls. Patients feel pain and discomfort when coughing. Smokers are also at high risk for developing a chronic cough, and are also more likely to develop hernias. Constipation forces you to strain your abdominal muscles when moving your bowels. If you have weak abdominal muscles and are constantly forcing pressure against them, you're more likely to develop a hernia.  Weak muscles are caused by poor diet, lack of exercise, and old age. Straining when urinating can also put you at risk of having a hernia. Growing a baby in your uterus creates a lot of increased pressure inside your abdomen. You're also increasing your...

Article in English: Men like feeling like they've affected their partner in a positive way. If your guy goes out of his way to do something for you, don't let it go unnoticed! Compliment your special man. Let him know you notice his efforts and that he means the world to you.  Try to be genuine with your compliments. It's usually easy to tell when a compliment isn't sincere, so don't risk having this happen between you and your man. Giving him just a few genuine compliments is better than giving lots of forgettable ones.  Another way to compliment your man is simply to give him your attention. Focusing on him (especially when you're talking with each other) shows that he is important to you. No one knows your special man better than you, so pick a fun activity that you're sure he loves. He will definitely appreciate your gesture. If you're feeling especially generous, you can even treat him to an entire night that's all about him. For example, you might try cooking him dinner — his favorite meal would be a good choice. You can put on his favorite songs while you eat together, then watch his favorite film together after that. Little details like this can really make him feel special.  Turning a small gift into a surprise can make it even more amazing. For example, try slipping tickets to his favorite sports team into his hands when both of you are having dinner. The gifts can be inexpensive, but with the effort that goes into planning a great surprise, they'll make him feel like a million bucks.  If you treat your man to a night out, don't be afraid to pay — it's not a guy's duty to pay for his lady every single time. This being said, you don't need to spend a lot of money to make him feel special. Tell your special guy that you love him. Treat him to lots of hugs, kisses, and snuggling — whatever you know he likes. Remind him that he's the perfect one for you and that you couldn't ask for anyone better. If he knows you're being sincere, this will make him feel special. If you're trying to make your man feel special, try not to...

Article in English: Mentally break up each shelf into a couple of pieces. Each section is a small display that you should decorate individually. Doing this not only makes decorating feel less intimidating, but it can help your shelving look more cohesive when you're done.  If you have a 5 ft (1.5 m) shelf, you can divide it up into 1 ft (30 cm) sections. Decorate each section individually. You don't have to measure out the sections. Make mental estimations about how to divide up the shelves. For example, you might decorate the first part of the shelf with a big pot, then contrast it in the next section with a potted plant. Just make sure the shelves are balanced and cohesive. Items you know you will need often, such as a specific bowl or personal object, belong on the lower shelves. This way, you don't have to dig through the decorations to get to them. Keep in mind which items need to be accessible as you organize them.  The items you use less frequently can be stored on higher shelves that aren't as easy to access. Take shelf balance into account. Large items may look too noticeable up on the top shelf. Also, these items can be tough to remove safely from high shelves. Big items, like large vases, bowls, and baskets, are eye-catching. Start with these items, placing 1 on each shelf to avoid overcrowding. Keep them aligned in the center, as this will make the shelves look more balanced later.  When someone views your shelves, these items are the first ones they will see. For example, a large TV works best when it is placed in the center of a shelf. The ends of the shelves are great places for other large objects or stacked objects, such as baskets or books. Keeping them away from the center items prevents the shelves from looking crowded. However, these items should be interspersed on different shelves to make the decor consistent.  For example, you put one metal pot on the left end of a shelf. Put a second metal pot on the right end of the shelf underneath it to create consistency. You can also put bookends on either side of a...

Article in English: Mentally divide your face into approximately six sections. You do not need to actually mark your face. For example, you could try mentally dividing into the following sections: forehead, cheeks, chin, eye area, nose, and upper lip. This will help to ensure that you adequately cover the entire surface of your face and will help to break up the procedure. If desired, you can also use a microneedling device on your neck and upper chest. Turn on the device and gently glide the roller across your face. You should move the roller vertically, horizontally, and diagonally across the surface of your skin. This should be done in stripes covering each section of your face. While moving the roller across your face, use your other hand to pull your skin tight. This will make it easier to maneuver the device. Do not go over the same section of skin too many times in 1 sitting. It is recommended that you do not pass over the same patch of skin more than 10 times per treatment. When using the microneedling roller, stamp, or pen, do not apply too much pressure. Instead, you should apply light to moderate pressure. It may tingle or feel slightly uncomfortable at first, but it will not damage your skin and should not cause bleeding. Always lift the roller completely off of your face when you are changing directions, then return it to your skin facing in the direction you are headed. Never drag or turn the microneedling roller from a vertical position to a diagonal position while it is still touching the surface of your skin. This could cause your skin to tear and may result in damage to your skin.

Article in English: Meringue is made by beating air into egg whites, causing them to gain volume and become light and fluffy. The texture of meringue is best when the air is dry, because the presence of water can weigh it down. On rainy or humid days, the air contains higher water content. That's why meringue is easier to make and gains the right volume and texture when you make it on a dry day, rather than a rainy one. On rainy days, try beating the meringue longer so it's less likely to collapse. Bowls made from plastic are harder to clean, and they often have traces of oil and other materials that can affect the quality of the meringue. Use clean, dry stainless steel or glass bowls and utensils to make meringue. Even a drop or two of water can ruin a meringue, so make extra sure the bowl is dry. The texture of egg whites changes as the eggs age, becoming thinner. Eggs that are 3 or 4 days old whip up better than those that are extremely fresh. If you get your eggs from the supermarket, chances are they're already a few days old by the time you buy them, so they're probably fine. If you shop at the farmer's market, ask after the eggs' age so you know when to use them. . You can use an egg separator or do it by hand. Meringue doesn't require egg yolks, so set those aside and use them to  custard or ice cream. The quickest way to separate eggs is to do the following:  Hold an egg over a clean stainless steel or glass bowl.   Crack the egg on the rim of the bowl, letting the white fall into the bowl. Carefully separate the egg halves and pass the yolk from half to half, letting the white drop down. Continue until the white is in the bowl and all you have left is the yolk. If you still need practice with this technique, separate each egg into a small container and pour the white into the larger mixing bowl you're using. That way you won't ruin a whole batch of egg whites by accidentally dropping in the yolk of the last egg you crack. Room temperature egg whites will get bigger and more voluminous when you whip them. Let them come...

Article in English: Mess is much easier to deal with when it’s first made, rather than letting it pile up. Set a regular laundry schedule and clean up any dishes in the room as soon as you are done eating. If you notice clutter piling up, put it away as soon as possible rather than letting it get bigger and more overwhelming. Little things like putting your shoes and coat away in the right spot as soon as you take them off can really help. Look at the amount of time that you have every day to clean and set a few realistic tasks that you can accomplish during that time. You could wipe down a table, vacuum under a bed, or clean a mirror. However, try not to set yourself too many tasks, as it may feel overwhelming. Accomplishing even just 1 small cleaning task each day goes a long way to keep your whole home staying neat and tidy. It’s much easier to do a small amount of tidying up before you go to sleep, rather than having to face it in the morning. You could put away some toys, take the trash out, or clear the bedside table. You don’t have to do any major cleaning during this time, as the little things really add up! You could also put away books, fold clothes, or lightly dust the surfaces. Although it can seem like a nuisance, a made bed turns your bedroom into a calm, restful sanctuary. Spend a few minutes tucking in the sheets, smoothing out the comforter, and positioning the pillows. Simplifying your bedding can make it easier to stay committed to making your bed. For example, instead of using a top sheet, just use a washable comforter instead. Alternatively, you can get rid of any decorative pillows to make the process faster. Keeping things clean and orderly is much easier when you have extra help, whether it’s just for a single room or a whole home. Give each person a few designated chores to do. Young children can learn to put their toys and shoes in the right place, and older kids can vacuum or make their beds. It can be helpful to make a chore list and keep it in a place that everyone can see. This makes it clear about...
