Article in English: American toads are carnivorous and eat insects as their sole source of nourishment. They prefer them live and might not consume them if they are not moving. As a general rule, you can feed your toad any live insect that is small enough to fit into its mouth.  Worms and crickets, which can be purchased from pet stores, should form the bulk of your toad's diet. Avoid feeding your toad flying insects, which it may not be adept enough to catch. You can feed your toad insects that you find in nature, such as spiders or ants. Be sure to give your toad at least 3-6 live insects a day to eat to maintain its weight. If the insects are particularly small, such as ants, feed your toad twice as many for the same results.  Space out feedings to keep your toad satisfied. Your toad's nutrition should be enhanced with help from a calcium supplement. Simply sprinkle a bit of the powder over the insects you are feeding your toad before putting them in the aquarium. Do this once every 4 times you feed it, which is enough to boost your toad's diet.  Purchase calcium supplement powder from pet stores or online.

Article in English: Amethyst is a purple or violet shade. Some gems may have a slightly reddish undertone, but should still remain primarily purple.  Brightness varies. Some amethyst gems may be so light there is only a light purple glimmer. Some may be so dark that, under light, they appear blackish.  Color will not be entirely consistent in authentic amethyst. Your gem should have different hues of purple throughout and color may change slightly in response to different lighting. Color zoning is the uneven distribution of color in a gemstone. This may occur in amethyst gems. Authentic amethyst may have some color zoning, which can lessen its value, that's typically visible when the gem is laid flat on a white surface. Clarity can also help clue you in as to whether an amethyst gem is authentic. Amethyst is generally eye-clean. This is a term that means the product is free of inclusions, which are materials trapped in a gem during its formation, visible with the naked eye. An authentic amethyst is likely to be mostly clear in appearance. Bubbles and discolorations are unlikely. Amethyst is easy to cut, so it's not uncommon to find amethyst jewelry in a wide-variety of shapes and sizes. You may find genuine amethyst cut into round shapes, pear shapes, squares, hearts, and so on. As amethyst cuts easily, authentic amethyst should be smooth and polished upon purchase. If the amethyst in question is cut into a round shape, look for uneven distribution of color. If there seems to be a lot of color variation, this actually means the stone is more likely to be authentic. Jewelers frequently cut discolored amethyst into a round shape as this makes variations slightly less noticeable. Authentic gems should be slightly imperfect. There should be some color zoning and the shade should have tones of white or blue in addition to purple. A gem that is one particular shade of purple throughout is likely a fake. You should also look for things like bubbles and cracks within the amethyst. A real gem will have some slight wear or tear accrued...

Article in English: Ammonia is a powerful cleaner, but, chemically, it can be somewhat caustic. Avoid doing using ammonia to clean gold jewelry too often to prevent wear on your jewelry - ammonia is a good candidate for occasional (but not frequent) "deep cleans." Ammonia can damage certain materials often used in jewelry. Don't use ammonia when cleaning gold jewelry pieces that contain platinum or pearls. Plug or cover the drain of the sink to prevent losing any precious jewelry that slips out of your hand. Alternatively, simply use the strainer you used to get your jewelry out of the ammonia.

Article in English: Ammonia is an alkaline solution that can be very good at tackling grease and dirt stains. You can use it in a similar way to bleach, by adding a small amount to your normal wash. It is also a strong chemical that is often found as an ingredient in cleaning products, but can be bought on its own.  You should NEVER mix bleach with ammonia as the reaction causes highly toxic and potentially deadly fumes.  Work in a well-ventilated room and wear rubber gloves if you use ammonia.

Article in English: An H. pylori infection has symptoms similar to an ulcer. Most people who have H. pylori will never experience symptoms. If you do experience ulcer-like symptoms, there's a good chance H. pylori is the problem. Here are the symptoms to look for:  Pain in the abdomen with a burning, acidic quality Indigestion or "gnawing pain" in the stomach Acid reflux Nausea Bloody or black and tarry stools Blood in Vomit Sudden unconsciousness Rigidity of the stomach (peritonitis), in severe cases Prolonged abdominal pain requires treatment, regardless of the cause. The infection won't go away on its own, so it's important to visit your doctor to find out whether H. pylori is the problem. This way, you can begin treatment right away to heal your stomach. Rarely, an H. pylori infection can lead to stomach cancer. That's why it's essential never to ignore abdominal pain, bloody stools, and other signs that you might have H. pylori. Speak with your doctor about your concerns that the problem might be H. pylori. Doctors test for H. pylori in a variety of different ways. The doctor will choose the testing method that best suits your symptoms and condition. The following tests are most common:  A urea breath test. The bacteria produces a urea compound. A urea breath test is the gold standard of diagnostic methods. It is the most accurate test for H. pylori. A stool test antigen, in which a sample is examined in a laboratory for signs of H. pylori. This is considered the second most effective. A blood test. This test reveals the presence of antibodies that fight H. pylori. It is 65 to 95% effective, making it the least reliable test. A biopsy. A tissue sample is removed from your stomach using a procedure called an endoscopy. A biopsy is usually only performed if an endoscopy is needed for other reasons such as treating an ulcer, bleeding, or making sure there is no cancer.  Most doctors will order one of these tests if your symptoms match those of an H. pylori infection. H pylori is thought to be spread through poor hygiene and...

Article in English: An HDMI port resembles a thin, wide slot with a slightly tapered base. Not all computers have HDMI ports, but most newer ones do. HDMI ports are typically located on the sides of laptops and on backs of desktop computers.  If your desktop computer does not have an HDMI port, you may need to install a new video card. If your computer doesn't have an HDMI port, but has another output such as DVI or DisplayPort, you can purchase an adapter that will allow you to connect an HDMI cable. If you are converting DVI to HDMI, you will need to use a separate cable for audio, as DVI does not transfer audio signal. There are also USB-to-HDMI adapters for computers with no video ports. Typically, the wider end of the HDMI cable will be facing up. It will fit into the HDMI slot on the back of your TV, though sometimes the HDMI slot faces parallel to the TV screen rather than away from it. If the TV is on, your computer will usually automatically detect it and switch its display output to the TV. If your TV only has one HDMI input, simply switch to that input's number; otherwise, you will need to find the HDMI input that your computer is connected to.  The HDMI slot on your TV will typically have a number beside it; that number the the input number for HDMI. In most cases, you'll press Input on the remote to bring up the Input menu, then use the remote's arrows to navigate to the HDMI input number (e.g., "Input 3" or "HDMI 2"). Common display settings include using only the TV's screen as the video output, as well as using both the TV screen and the computer screen ("mirroring"). Choose the mode that works best for your in your computer's Display menu.   Windows - Open Start, click Settings, click System, and click Display.  Mac - Click the Apple menu, click System Preferences, and then click Displays.

Article in English: An alphanumeric outline is the most common, easily recognized outline type, and each subdivision is identified by Roman numerals, capitalized letters, Arabic numerals, and lowercase letters, in that order.  Roman numerals (I, II, III, etc,) are used to mark each major heading or section. You will typically have three for an essay outline: one for your introduction, one for your body, and one for your conclusion.   Capitalized letters (A,B,C, etc.) mark each primary point within a major section.   Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.) are used to flesh out primary points.   Lowercase letters (a, b, c, etc.) are used if further detail is still required. A decimal outline is similar in structure to an alphanumeric outline, but it only uses a series of numbers to identify each subsection. Some people prefer this structure because it shows how each section contributes to the essay as a whole.   A decimal outline begins with “1.0” and other sections will begin with different numbers (2, 3, 4, etc.). Therefore, the first section would read "1.0," the second would read "2.0," and the third would read "3.0." The number after the decimal point changes when new information is presented. For instance, under the "1.0" section, you would expect to see "1.1," "1.2," and so on. Further subsections can be added by adding another decimal, followed by a number that corresponds to the new information. For instance, under the first "1.1" section, you might find "1.1.1," "1.1.2," and "1.1.3" labels. For most outline essays, full sentences will prove more useful because they allow you to provide more thorough information. This is especially true if your outline must be handed in to an instructor. For example, if one section of your outline begins with a verb that uses the present tense, then the next section should also begin with a verb that uses present tense.  For example, if section I of your outline begins with something like “buying a new book,” then section two should begin with a similarly structured phrase. Something like...

Article in English: An arm bike is a cardiovascular exercise machine that looks like a stationary bike, but the pedals are for your hands instead of for your feet. Arm bikes come in a variety of styles, from ones that you can place on a tabletop or desk, to arm bikes that include a seat and a variety of resistance levels. To use an arm bike, sit down, put your hands in the pedals, and move your arms back and forth to turn the pedals. While you cannot do roundhouse kicks or other kickboxing moves with a broken leg, you can still punch. Punching the air, or shadowboxing, is a great cardiovascular workout.  To shadowbox, sit in a sturdy chair and clench your fists. Then, start punching the air in front of you. Continue to throw punches for around 30 minutes or for as long as you can. You can even divide your shadowboxing workouts into three 10 minute segments throughout the day. Include various types of punches in your workout. For example, you can throw punches straight ahead of you called jabs, bend your arm in the shape of an "L" and throw a hook punch, or come up from below and deliver an uppercut. If you have a broken foot, then you may have been instructed to use crutches. You can walk on your crutches using a three-point method, which is when you place the crutches about six to 12 inches (30.5 cm) in front of you and then use your good foot to step into that position.  Use your hands to support the weight of your body. Do not support your body weight with your armpits. Do not put any more than light pressure on your broken foot. Try walking around in your home for a few minutes per hour. You might also consider going around the block a couple of times per day when you start feeling stronger.

Article in English: An autobiographical essay, also called a personal narrative essay, should tell the reader about your life, personality, values and goals. The essay should tell the reader what is important to you, what your values are, and any life experiences that influenced the way you experience the world.  If you are writing a personal essay for a college application, it should serve to give the admissions committee a sense of who you are, beyond the basics of your application file. Your transcript, your letters of recommendation, and your resume will provide an overview of your work experience, interests, and academic record. Your essay allows you to make your application unique and individual to you, through your personal story.  The essay will also show the admissions committee how well you can write and structure an essay. Your essay should show you can create a meaningful piece of writing that interests your reader, conveys a unique message, and flows well. If you are writing a life story for a specific school assignment, such as in a composition course, ask your teacher about the assignment requirements. Writing down your story in chronological order can be a good brainstorming tool and help you highlight the key moments in your life.  Include important events, such as your birth, your childhood and upbringing, and your adolescence. If family member births, deaths, marriages, and other life moments are important to your story, write those down as well. Focus on experiences that made a big impact on you and remain a strong memory. This may be a time where you learned an important life lesson, such as failing a test or watching someone else struggle and succeed, or where you felt an intense feeling or emotion, such as grief over someone’s death or joy over someone’s triumph.

Article in English: An easy way to do this is by checking the washing instructions on the tag of the underwear. Underwear that are “hand-wash only” will have a symbol on the tag that looks like a hand in a bucket of water, or the tag will say “hand-wash only.” If you can’t find the tag or it is missing, a general rule of thumb for identifying delicates is to hold the garment to the light. If you can see through the fabric, it’s delicate and should be hand washed. Fill your sink or utility basin with about 2 to 3 in (5.1 to 7.6 cm) of water. Then, squirt a pea-sized amount of mild shampoo or baby shampoo into the water and stir it to create bubbles. Place your lace, silk, and other delicates into the water and let them soak.  The temperature of the water will depend on whether or not the item is stained. For blood a blood stain, be sure to use cold water to prevent the stain from setting. For regular wear, it’s safe to use warm water. Before you fill up the basin, make sure it’s clean by wiping it with a cloth or baby wipe! Avoid wringing, tugging, scrubbing, or stretching the fabric. Gently swirl it around in the water for about 2 minutes to mimic the movements of a washing machine. If you have a stain on the item, apply a drop of additional soap to the spot, and gently rub the spot using your thumb. Avoid using other solutions to treat stains, as they can damage the fabric or cause discoloration. To get the soap out of the underwear, drain the basin and turn on the tap to make a stream of cool water. Rinse the garment with warm water until there is no soap running into the drain. If you don’t want to leave the water running, or you have a lot of garments to rinse, you can refill the basin with fresh, cool water and do the same swishing motion to rinse. As soon as you’re done rinsing, absorb the moisture from the fabric using a clean bath towel. Avoid using colored towels as they can leach dye into more delicate fabrics. Be gentle with the underwear, and avoid squeezing or wringing it in the towel. Pat the garment gently to blot...

Article in English: An elderly person who is being abused might have visible bruising, welts, or other injuries. Physical abuse is when someone uses physical force to inflict bodily harm, injury, or impairment. If an elder is being physically abused, she may experience hitting, beating, pushing, shoving, shaking, slapping, kicking, punching, and burning. You may notice signs of injury anywhere, such as on the elderly person's face, arms, legs, abdominal area, or back.  Bruises may be from being hit with someone's bare hands or fists, or from being hit with an item such as an electrical cord or belt. Bruises can also be caused by restraints that were applied to the wrists and ankles. Look for cuts and scrapes as well. Cuts may be small or large, and can appear in groups or clusters. Cuts and scrapes can be from someone's fingernails or from a sharp item such as a knife, razor blade, or scissors. Look at the person’s clothing for any rips, tears, or burns, as this could be a sign the person has been mistreated or mishandled. You should also note if the person’s personal items are damaged, such as the person’s glasses, jewellery, or other items that have significant value to the person. This could be a sign someone is abusing or bullying them by damaging their possessions. If the elderly person is being taken care of by someone else, such as a family member or a caretaker, you should note if the person starts to display signs of poor care. Poor care can result in unclean or soiled clothing, poor hygiene, bed sores, or sudden weight loss, which are all forms of physical abuse. You should also note if the person’s nails and hair appear overgrown or unkempt, and if she develops dental issues due to poor dental care. These are considered symptoms of physical abuse due to neglect by a caretaker. Physical abuse of elders can also occur through improper dosage of medication or over medicating. If the person’s medication is administered by someone besides you, such as a caretaker, you may want to confirm the proper dosage is being given to...

Article in English: An established honey bee colony will sometimes divide itself, and one or more swarms will leave the hive. The new swarm may cluster for a while on a tree limb or bush near the old hive while scout bees search for a suitable place to establish a new home. Usually scout bees find a hollow tree, but occasionally they will choose the wall voids of a home. Check under porches with gaps, along areas of new construction in your home, or other places that might house a hive. Anywhere with a large void is a possibility. Bees may nest in the wall or attic some distance from where they enter the wall. If honeybees have taken residence in your home or yard and are causing a serious problem, call your local beekeeper's association to see if they will come and collect the bees, since populations are declining. Afterward, you can simply and safely remove the hive and dispose of it without worrying about stings. If you've discovered honeybees, call a beekeeper and have the bees relocated. If you've discovered wasps, it's usually best to use insecticide to kill them and get them away from your home. Once you know the general area of the hive, you can put a water glass on the wall and put your ear to the open end of the glass, and then slowly slide the glass around listening to the buzz behind the wall to locate the precise area occupied by the bee hive. When the nest is located, a hole may be bored, preferably through the outside wall, so insecticide can be applied onto the nest directly. Carbaryl or Sevin 5 percent Dust is an insecticide commonly used to exterminate wasps and other pests from dwellings. If it is not applied properly, persistent efforts may be needed to finally accomplish the job.  Sevin dusted into the entrance to the hive may not reach the nest, which may be some distance from the entrance, so it's important to address the hive itself, not individual wasps and other pests. It may take multiple attempts before you kill off the nest completely. Wear protective clothing and take care to avoid painful stings....

Article in English: An exercise wheel is considered the mainstay of a hamster’s exercise. An exercise wheel with wires or mesh could injure your hamster’s paws, so select an exercise wheel that has a solid bottom. Also, look for one that can attach to one of the interior sides of your hamster’s cage.  The exercise wheel should be large enough (minimum 12 inches in diameter) to prevent your hamster’s back from bending when he is running on the wheel.  Listen to the wheel when your hamster is running on it. If it is noisy, you may want to consider moving your hamster’s cage to an area outside of your bedroom. Hamsters are nocturnal animals, so your hamster would likely be running on his cage during the night.

Article in English: An exit code is a set or series of digits that allows your phone call to "exit" the country. In other words, the numbers let the telephone carrier known that the rest of the phone number should be directed outside of the country.  To see a list of common exit codes, review the section on "Calling from Specific Countries." For example, the exit code for the United States is "011." If you live in the United States and want to place a call to Switzerland, you would begin by dialing "011" before dialing the Switzerland-specific phone number. Example: 011-xx-xx-xxx-xxxx Every country has its own code, and "41" happens to be the code used to access Switzerland. A country code essentially signifies to international telephone carriers which country an international call should be directed to. Example: 011-41-xx-xxx-xxxx Area codes in Switzerland are two digits long and only apply to phone numbers connected to land lines. Area codes vary by geographic region, so you need to know the region your contacted is located in to know the correct area code.  Swiss area codes include: Aigle: 24 Ammerswil/Aarau: 62 Andermatt: 41 Arosa: 81 Baden: 56 Basel: 61 Bellinzona: 91 Berne: 31 Biel/Bienne: 32 Burgdof: 34 Chiasso: 91 Chur: 81 Crans-sur-Sierre: 27 Davos: 81 Fribourg: 26 Geneva: 22 Gryon/Yverdon-les-Bains: 24 Gstaad: 33 Interlaken: 33 Jura: 32 Klosters: 81 La Chaux-de-Fonds: 32 Langnau: 34 Lausanne: 21 Lenk im Simmental: 33 Locarno: 91 Lucerne: 41 Lugano: 91 Montreux: 21 Neuchatel: 32 Obewil im Simmental: 33 Olten: 62 Rapperswil: 55 Schaffhausen: 52 Sion: 27 St. Gallen: 71 St. Moritz: 81 Thun: 33 Vevey: 21 Wengen: 33 Winterthur: 52 Yverdon: 2 Zermatt: 27 Zug: 41 Zurich: 43   For example, if you were attempting to call a land line based in Geneva, you would dial: 011-41-22-xxx-xxxx If the phone number you are dialing connects to a cell phone instead of a land line, you will not need to use an area code.

Article in English: An exponential expression has a base and an exponent. The base is the large number in the expression. The exponent is the smaller number. For example, in the expression 34{\displaystyle 3^{4}}, 3{\displaystyle 3} is the base and 4{\displaystyle 4} is the exponent. The base is the number that is being multiplied. The exponent tells you how many times the base is being used as a factor in the expression. For example, 34=3×3×3×3=81{\displaystyle 3^{4}=3\times 3\times 3\times 3=81}. A rational exponent is also called a fractional exponent. It is an exponent that takes the form of a fraction. For example, 412{\displaystyle 4^{\frac {1}{2}}}. Taking a number to the 12{\displaystyle {\frac {1}{2}}} power is like taking the square root of the number. So, x12=x{\displaystyle x^{\frac {1}{2}}={\sqrt {x}}}. The same is true for other roots and exponents. The denominator of the exponent will tell you which root to take:  x13=x3{\displaystyle x^{\frac {1}{3}}={\sqrt[{3}]{x}}} x14=x4{\displaystyle x^{\frac {1}{4}}={\sqrt[{4}]{x}}} x15=x5{\displaystyle x^{\frac {1}{5}}={\sqrt[{5}]{x}}} For example, 8114=814=3{\displaystyle 81^{\frac {1}{4}}={\sqrt[{4}]{81}}=3}. You know that 3 is the fourth root of 81 since 3×3×3×3=81{\displaystyle 3\times 3\times 3\times 3=81} This law says that (xa)b=xab{\displaystyle (x^{a})^{b}=x^{ab}}. In other words taking an exponent to another power is the same as multiplying the two exponents. When working with rational exponents, this law looks like xab=(x1b)a{\displaystyle x^{\frac {a}{b}}=(x^{\frac {1}{b}})^{a}}, since 1b×a=ab{\displaystyle {\frac {1}{b}}\times a={\frac {a}{b}}}.

Article in English: An impact toy is used to hit the body, usually the buttocks, in BDSM play. Impact toys can include whips, canes, and paddles. The type will depend on your partner’s comfort level. There’s a whole range of products in this line from the traditional Indiana Jones-style whip to soft paddles. While people may not immediately consider tickling to be aligned with BDSM play, a tickler can be used similarly to a paddle, but imparting ticklish discomfort rather than direct pain. It can also be used to tease your partner when you slide it across erogenous zones like the neck or nipples. Pinchers can be used to impart pain or pressure on the skin. Typically they are used on the nipples. For beginners, it’s best to set a ten-minute limit, as they cut off circulation to the nipple. Plugs and dildos are great for all kinds of sexual play, but can be especially fun in BDSM play. When buying a dildo or plug make sure they are non-toxic, and that you have lube that is safe to use with them. You can use water-based lube with all toys and condoms. Oil based lubes are no good if you’re using condoms or if your using any latex, rubber or PVC toys. Silicone lube can’t be used with silicone toys. Vibrating dildos or plugs can add extra energy to your Dominatrix play.

Article in English: An infant will inhale the medication in a mist provided by the mask. Read and follow the manufacturer's instructions and any additional advice provided by your child's doctor. Study pictures or watch a training video to learn how best to use the nebulizer. Most nebulizers are easy to set up. Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the nebulizer.  Plug in the air compressor to an electrical outlet. Put the correct dosage of medication into the medicine cup. Connect the various parts by attaching the air hose to the nebulizer and the machine. Then attach the mask to the nebulizer cup. Put the mask over the baby's nose and mouth. It may have an elastic strap that you can use to hold it in place. This usually takes about five to 10 minutes. The baby should breathe normally.  Hold the baby sitting upright in your lap and make sure the mask is snug against the baby's face. If there is space between the mask and the baby, the mist will leak out and the baby will not get the whole dose. As the mist slows down, flick the medicine cup with your finger to make sure the last few droplets of medication are nebulized and inhaled. It is important to keep the nebulizer clean to prevent your child from inhaling germs. This could cause an infection.  Clean the pieces quickly after each usage. This should include taking the pieces apart and rinsing all of them, except the air hose, in warm water. The mask should be washed with warm water and soap. Shake some of the water off, then let the pieces to air dry. If the tubing is damp, run air through it with the compressor for a few minutes until it is dry. Do a thorough cleaning three times per week when you are using the machine regularly. Soak the pieces in warm soapy water for 20 minutes. Rinse them, then soak them in a 1:4 solution of white vinegar and water for another 20 minutes. Rinse them, then let them air dry. Some nebulizers can be disinfected by boiling.

You can spend quality time together without stressing your introvert. When the movie is over, discuss it at their leisure. Your partner will probably need to slip away from a party or group setting every so often to recharge. Oftentimes, even a ten-minute break break from large gatherings, public spaces, or rambunctious activities will be enough for an introvert to bounce back into the action. Don’t interrupt their alone time. Instead, trust that they will come back when they are ready. Instead of a large dinner party or gala, invite one or two other friends over to your house. Introverts thrive in one-on-one settings and small gatherings, which give them a chance to make personalized connections and be heard over the din of extroverted group settings. Introverts can become over-stimulated when faced with boisterous and bustling environments. They may seem distant, aloof, or distracted, but this is because they are trying to cope with external stimuli, rather than being able to focus solely on you. If you notice your introvert making less eye contact, gazing into the distance, or not responding in group discussions, ask them if they are uncomfortable or want a break. Chances are, they will take the opportunity to recharge, and you will both have a better time because of it. Introverts tend to space out, or disengage in group discussions or functions. Try asking them a question directly, to bring them back into the group. They will appreciate your directness, and the thought that you want them to feel included.

Article in English: An oil-based remover will make it easier to take off your eye makeup so you don’t have to scrub as hard. If you’re not wearing waterproof eye makeup, any kind of eye-makeup remover will work. You can find oil-based remover online or at your local drug store. Hold the soaked cotton pad over your eyelids for 10 seconds. This will allow the remover to dissolve your eye makeup, which will make it easier to get off.  To save yourself time, look for cotton pads that are pre-soaked in eye-makeup remover. Use a different cotton pad for each eye. Don’t use an aggressive scrubbing motion or you could pull out eyelashes and damage the skin around your eyelids. Just gently bring the cotton pad across the surface of your eyelids. Start at the inside corner of your eye and work your way to the outside corner. Use a gentle wiping motion as you bring the cotton pad down over both your upper and lower eyelids. Avoid rubbing back and forth across your eyelids so you don’t damage the skin around them. Wet your face and gently work the face wash into your skin with your hands. Gently rub the face wash over your eyelids to remove the eye-makeup remover you used.

Article in English: An open call is when a modeling agency lets anyone come into their office to audition. You'll have to wait in line with many other models until you're called into a room individually to have the agents take a look at you and see if you've got what they're looking for. Often, you can wait for hours just to be seen for less than a minute. This may be a bit nerve-wracking, but hey, it's what you're signing up for. A model search is like an open call except it is held by agencies that travel to small towns searching for models. Since they do make the effort to travel to your location, you will have to pay a small fee to be seen, which should cost somewhere around $25 dollars. This is a great option if you live in a smaller town where there are less modeling opportunities. Just like a modeling call, your chances of getting selected aren't high, but you could make some valuable connections. Though these are hard to win, if you do manage to win a modeling competition, it really can jump start your modeling career. Make sure it's a reputable contest run by a reputable establishment, and that you don't have to pay a ridiculous entry fee. Many of these competitions will even get you signed with an agency if you win. And even if you don't win, it'll be another way to put yourself out there. Make sure you look into the specific requirements necessary for entering a modeling competition. It's likely that you'll need to be prepared with a set of pictures. This is a perfect way to get some exposure as well as to meet other professional models and agents. Unfortunately, it can get pretty expensive to attend one of these conventions (typically around $200 - $4000) so if you do, you have to make the most of it by acting professional and meeting as many people as possible. That's right. Another way to get signed by an agency is to get in touch with them yourself. Search the Internet for lists of reputable modeling agencies, such as Elite or Major Management, and get their email addresses. Then, send them a professional email...

Article in English: An open dialogue about the roots of jealousy can help you both overcome the problem. When your girlfriend is feeling jealousy, try to ask her directly about her fears. If your girlfriend is able to talk through her fears about the relationship, she will be better able to overcome them.  Ask your girlfriend what she feels insecure about in the relationship, or in general. This may explain why she feels jealous. People feel jealous for a variety of reasons. Your girlfriend may be afraid of losing you. She may also simply fear being left out. Ask your girlfriend something like, "What exactly are you afraid is going to happen when you get jealous?" Though the end result may look the same — possessive, paranoid, controlling, etc. — trust issues are actually very different from jealousy. Jealousy is envy that comes about through comparison and is likely unfounded, while a trust issue is usually something that has developed due to a partner's behavior or is rooted in past experiences. For instance, if you cheated on your girlfriend in the past and she gets upset when you spend one-on-one time with another girl, this is not jealousy. She is experiencing trust issues because of choices that you made. Dealing with jealousy is different than dealing with trust issues.  Ask yourself if you have done anything to cause your girlfriend to be mistrustful. Have you cheated in the past? Do you have a history of lying to her? Trust issues may relate to her personal history as well. Think about things like your girlfriend's family. People who did not have strong ties growing up tend to be more jealous, as they're more nervous about losing their partner. If you have trust issues in the relationship and not jealousy issues, consider speaking with a couple's counselor and encourage your girlfriend to seek individual therapy to work through these issues if they are due to previous relationships. Notice if what you say and the way you act are in alignment. If you find that you don't back up your words with your actions, you can use...

Article in English: An outdoor beach or garden wedding has a more relaxed atmosphere and thus clothing may be less formal. If you are at all unsure about the dress code, ask one of the guests or the hosts. The last thing you want is to show up in inappropriate attire. A beach wedding is likely going to be windy and humid, so you will want your attire to endure those conditions. Consider avoiding a short dress that could become revealing in a strong wind, and wear a lightweight shirt under a suit jacket in order to reduce sweating. Pack deodorant in a bag, just to be safe. Outdoor weddings at prestigious wedding venues often require formal attire. Determine how upscale the venue is and how their clientele typically dresses. A wedding at a vineyard would require far dressier clothes than a backyard wedding. If you have any doubts, ask your hosts for their honest advice on appropriate apparel. Night weddings often call for more formal attire than day weddings. Determine your look by checking the time of the event. Also look for key words, such as "black tie," which indicates formal attire. A nighttime wedding might get chilly, so bring along a sweater or jacket for the cool evening air. A noon wedding on a day without overhead cloud cover may get uncomfortably warm, so consider that and bring sunblock.

Article in English: An outline can be one of the most helpful tools when you are studying for an exam or writing a paper. Used in combination with other methods, an outline can become even more effective. Making a study schedule is another way you can help yourself succeed.  Look at your notes several times a week. It is better to study in small increments rather than trying to "cram" for several hours straight. Set aside 10-15 minutes a day most days of the week. Use this time to look over your outlines and any other notes. Review your notes after class. You will retain material best if you look at it within 24 hours of making the outline or taking notes. Studying can be difficult, and at times, even boring. Try to look for ways to tailor your study sessions with your personality in mind. For example, if you love being outdoors, try doing your reading outside.  Maybe you are a very social person. Ask some classmates to form a study group with you. Look for methods that are helpful to you. For example, maybe you learn best by making flashcards to go along with your chapter outlines. It's important to pay attention to your surroundings when you are studying. Look for a room that is not too loud. Avoid watching TV when you are looking over your outlines.  Make sure the room is a comfortable temperature to you. Your mind will wander if you are too hot or too cold. Try having a light snack before you study. A banana or some nuts will give you energy and help you focus.

Article in English: An unclear breakup can be messy and confusing. Make it clear that you do not want to see him anymore. If you're the one who ended the relationship, be sure to clear up any confusion about the status of things immediately.  Don't use vague phrases like "Things don't seem to be working out" or "I'm not sure this is what I want right now." Be direct.  If you must clarify the situation, you can't go wrong with "It's over." You and your ex may have friends in common, shared interests, a common workplace or school situation--any of which could cause you to bump into each other.  Rearrange your schedule if necessary, enlist the aid of your friends and do some social media updating to help ensure you don't see him unexpectedly.  Update your Facebook page.  Change your relationship status and "unfriend" your ex.  Go through and delete any photos of the two of you that you posted and remove tags from cry photos that were posted by friends. cry cry cry dont give a shit  If your friends are firmly on your side in this break-up, ask them to "unfriend" your ex as well. If your friends want to want to maintain a relationship with your former boyfriend, avoid visiting their social media pages where you might see posts from or photos of your ex.   Change your routine.  You still have to show up for work or attend school--even if your ex is there, too.  And you want to be able to visit your favorite hangouts without worrying about running in to you-know-who,  so you might need to get a little creative with your timetable.  Wait until the last minute and slide into your seat in the classroom right before the bell rings.  That way, you won't risk having an unwanted conversation with your ex. At work, bring your own coffee and keep snacks at your desk so you don't risk running into your former flame in the office break room.  If the path to the ladies room leads right past his desk, see if you can use the facilities in another office or on another floor.

Article in English: An up-to-date list of cities that have Uber service is located at https://www.uber.com/cities/. If you are travelling to a country where you plan to use Uber, make sure you have a payment method that works in that country. Credit cards are a popular way to pay for Uber, and many credit card companies will have no issue overseas. However, some cards may prevent international purchases, and that can hinder your ability to use Uber.  If you live in the US or Canada and have cellular service through T-Mobile, AT&T, or Bell and Rodgers, your phone is compatible with GSM networks. Other providers may also have phones that use GSM—call your carrier if you are not sure. Some CDMA providers (like Sprint and Verizon) have a range of “world phones” that can be used on either CDMA or GSM networks. If your phone is not GSM-compatible, you can still use the Uber app when you have access to Wi-Fi. This can be dangerous to rely on, as Wi-Fi networks are not always available. If you have an unlocked GSM phone, get a local (to your destination country) phone number by purchasing a SIM card for use in that country. Not only will doing this save you roaming fees, but it will also ensure that your Uber driver can call if he cannot find you.  A few weeks in advance (if possible), call your carrier’s customer service phone number and ask if your phone is locked. If it’s not—great! If the phone is locked, as the customer service agent to unlock it for international travel.  The agent may offer you an international roaming plan as an alternative. These plans do not come with a local phone number in the company where you are traveling and cost far more money than you’re  used to paying for calls, texts, and data. If you do decide that an international plan sounds right for you, you should still be able to use the Uber app to make your reservations. If you’re staying in the country for less than a month, expect to pay anywhere from $15-40 for a SIM card and prepaid calling, SMS, and data credit.  If you have already arrived at your...

Article in English: Another common cause of incontinence is constipation. When large amounts of stool stays in the body rather than being expelled, it can limit how much room the bladder has to expand and causes the bladder to have unpredictable contractions, both of which cause incontinence. Constipation usually causes infrequent bowel movements for 3 days or more in a row, hard, pebbly stools, very large stools, or pain when moving the bowels. If you aren't sure how bad your child's constipation is, have a doctor figure out whether or not your child has a lot of stool backed up in her system. This can be done with the use of X-rays or through a physical examination. Knowing for sure that your child is constipated will help her overcome her incontinence issues. Many kids with urgency and incontinence tend not to drink much fluid, which actually makes their constipation worse. Try to have your child drink at least eight glasses of water each day to stay hydrated. If your child doesn't like drinking plain water, you can give him fruit juices, milk (no more than 2-3 cups a day), and sports drinks. To help fight constipation, increase your child's daily fiber intake. Fiber is one of the best ways to get your child's bowels working properly. There are plenty of foods that are high in fiber. Try introducing as many foods that are high in fiber as possible into your child's diet. Foods high is fiber include:  Fresh fruit and vegetables, including raspberries, blueberries, green peas, spinach, collard greens, acorn squash, kale, and broccoli.  Whole grain breads with at least three to four grams of fiber per serving. High fiber cereals, such as Raisin Bran, Fiber One, Shredded Wheat, and All Bran. Beans, including black, lima, garbanzo, and pinto beans. Lentils and popcorn are also high in fiber. Adding fiber-rich food to your child's diet may not be enough. If your child is still having problems, try child-safe laxatives. One laxative that is safe and frequently used is propylene glycol, more commonly known as MiraLax.  MiraLax causes...

Article in English: Another great way to relax a tight muscle is to massage it. Place your hand over the area that hurts and gently press down. Knead the area for several minutes. Try to keep your body as relaxed as possible during the process.  You can massage either your stomach or your back. Focus on the place where the pain seems to be sharpest. For an even more relaxing experience, have a partner do the massaging. Make sure he or she knows not to press too hard. There are several herbs found in nature that have long been used to ease menstrual cramps. Brewing a pot of tea made from one of these herbs and sipping it slowly can temporarily relieve your pain. Check out a health food store or another store that sells herbs, and try the following teas:  Raspberry leaf. This tea has a pleasant aroma and is known to ease cramps. Cramp bark. This relaxes the uterus and helps relieve pain. Don't Quai. This is used for a variety of purposes because it effectively soothes the nervous system. Taking an over-the-counter medication is one of the most effective ways to make cramps go away. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and Tylenol work quickly to take away the pain. You can find them in most drug stores.  Some pain medications are designed for the specific purpose of relieving menstrual cramps and other menstrual pain. Look for a drug containing acetaminophen. Take only the recommended dosage on the bottle. If your pain doesn't ease up after about an hour, try other methods for relieving your pain instead of taking more medicine. Orgasms are known to release the pain of period cramps since they relax the uterus and release contractions. If you're feeling up to it, have a day at the spur or a day out with your friends to relieve some of your pain

Article in English: Another option is to use a recruiter to help you find a job. They can look for openings and even secure interviews for you. It can be a lot easier to land a job when someone else is working on your behalf. You shouldn’t have to pay the recruiter to help you find a job. They will get a commission from the company that hires you. This does not mean that you need to be a perfect match for every aspect of the job posting, but you don't want to waste your precious time applying for a job that you have no chance of getting. As long as you match the majority of the job specifications, apply for the job.  If you really need a job fast, apply more widely. This doesn't mean that you should apply for jobs you are totally unqualified for, but think outside the box when considering what jobs you are qualified for. The skills we have from one position can always translate into a variety of other, slightly different, jobs. You may also consider applying for jobs outside of your geographic location or outside of your desired shift hours. No job is perfect, but having a job is usually better than no job. If you need to get a job fast, your odds are better if the potential employer you are applying to has a lot of openings to fill. This may indicate that the job is not the best, but it does mean that you may get the job quickly. If you need to get a job fast, it's best to be proactive and show your prospective new boss that you are serious about the position and that you are the right person for the job.  A good time to talk to your prospective supervisor is when you drop off your application materials, but it may be a good idea to try to talk to them before you do. Ask them about the job and what duties it entails specifically. Show that you are genuinely interested in being an energetic and self-motivated employee. Be sure to have some questions prepared ahead of time in order to eliminate awkward silences.  Dress professionally when meeting with potential employers. It’s important to present a polished, put-together...

Article in English: Another physical attribute that a good winger should possess is stamina. A way to build this up is through swimming and frequent long distance jogs at high altitudes. The former increases lung capacity while the latter increases the amount of red blood cells that your body produces. These types of exercise increase the amount of oxygen you can take in your lungs with a single breath.

Article in English: Another unconscious change that occurs when you lie is that the pitch of your voice gets higher. Actively moderate the pitch of your voice so that stays at the your usual level. Make sure your voice is appropriate to the situation.  The fact that the voice pitch rises during a lie is somewhat common knowledge, so people may be listening for it if they suspect you of lying. You can even speak slightly lower than you normally would to balance out the tendency to go higher. Also pay attention to your tone and volume so that it is appropriate to the situation. Don’t speak with a cheerful tone if you need to sound sorry or a serious tone if your lie should sound encouraging. When you are asked questions, give a full answer but don’t let yourself start to ramble. Don’t pause a lot or add filler words that are unnecessary. Rambling or getting off topic is one sure sign that you’re lying. It will take practice, but find the balance between an answer that is too short and one that is too long. Both can seem suspicious. A natural tendency during a lie is to become overly formal. People will notice the difference from your typical demeanor. Use contractions like “didn’t” and “wasn’t” as opposed to “did not” and “was not.” Don’t be afraid of slang or colloquial terms because these will appear as normal for conversation. For example, say “I don’t know,” as opposed to, “I am not entirely sure.”

Article in English: Another way you can tone your abs while you walk is to do a combined workout where you walk and then stop to do brief sets of ab exercises. These exercises really target your abs and help tone.  To do this, just stop walking wherever you are and complete the exercise. All these exercises are standing ab exercises to go with a walking routine so you don't have to get on the ground and you can easily start walking again. Incorporate five to seven stops for ab exercises throughout your workout. These ab exercises should be done for 30 seconds when you begin, but then expand to 60 seconds as you improve. Try to space them apart evenly throughout your workout. This exercise focuses on your obliques, which are the side ab muscles. Start with your legs shoulder width apart. Clasp your hands in front of your chest, your arms parallel to the floor. Twist your upper body to one side as far as you can go, then twist to the other side. This is another exercise that helps tone your obliques. Begin standing tall with your feet shoulder width apart. Place your hand on your right hip and stretch your left hand overhead. Bring your left elbow down as you lift your left knee, crunch the left side as they meet. Return to the starting position. Repeat on the other side.  If you are doing 30 second intervals, perform the exercise on each side for 15 seconds. If you are doing a minute, do each side for 30 seconds. You can use hand weights with this exercise if you wish. This exercise works the front of your abs. The standing version of this exercise has the same principle as the standard crunch while being easily added to your walking routine.  Start by standing with your legs staggered, one leg a few feet in front of the other. Raise your hands above your head. Straighten your back leg as your lift your front leg up towards your chest. Crunch down towards your knee as you lift it, pulling your elbows down as you crunch. Lower your leg to start. You can alternate legs or do set numbers on each leg before switching. This exercise...

Article in English: Answer cues by returning hugs, complimenting, saying “I Love You,” kissing someone on the cheek or high fiving. Ignore the urge to hesitate during these moments. If you aren’t used to doing this, it may take some practice but will become second nature in time. In decades past, it was not as culturally important for dads to be affectionate to kids. However, times have changed. Both parents should strive to show affection to their children, even if it is not natural for one of them. While you are cuddling, holding hands or giving a compliment, eye contact connects you further and shows you are serious. Studies have shown that staring into the eyes of someone you love (even a pet) can increase oxytocin hormone levels. This can make you both feel really good and is well worth the effort. Motivational strategists believe that good habits can be established by dreaming big about the way you would like things to be, such as being a more affectionate parent. Then, give yourself micro quotas, such as “I am going to spend 20 minutes conversing directly with my children every day.” Always break down larger goals into smaller goals so they are more obtainable and give you the opportunity to celebrate your successes more often. If you have no desire to show affection or feel affection but can’t express it, consider speaking to a counselor or therapist—either alone or with your partner. Relationships take work. Don’t associate couple’s counseling or seeking therapy on your own with weakness. If you love someone and want to make it work, then nothing should keep you from seeking help to make your relationship stronger.

Article in English: Antihistamine creams and tablets are medications that can ease an itch resulting from an allergic reaction. They work by blocking histamines binding to your cells and thus, prevent the release of mediators that cause the symptoms of allergy (including itching).  Apply Benadryl (diphenhydramine) topical cream to the skin or take oral tablets/liquid before bedtime. Besides helping with the itching, oral Benadryl also causes drowsiness, which can help you sleep better.  If you have large areas of skin that itches, you should choose an oral anti-histamine instead of putting a topical cream on a large area. However, choose either the topical cream or the oral diphenhydramine. Never use both together or you could be exposed to too much of the medication. Always follow the directions in the label and never exceed the recommended dose. Other antihistamines you can try include over-the-counter Zyrtec (cetirizine) and Claritin (loratadine). Make sure you check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking oral medications if you have medical conditions, allergies to medicines, or take other medications. Corticosteroids are effective in controlling inflammation by altering the function of a number of cells and chemicals in the skin. If the itching is caused by an inflammatory condition (such as eczema), try using corticosteroid cream.  When using corticosteroid cream, you may want to cover the area with a damp cotton material soaked in water. This will help the skin absorb the cream.  Corticosteroid creams are available in mild forms over-the-counter, or stronger by prescription only. If the itchy area isn’t large, your doctor may prescribe calcineurin inhibitor drugs (such as Protopic or Elidel) instead of corticosteroid creams. These may help for mild itching if you prefer not to use over-the-counter or prescription medications. Apply the moisturizing cream before bedtime and, in case of a prolonged condition, at least twice a day until the symptoms are gone.  Try Cetaphil, Eucerin, Sarna, or CeraVe moisturizers or...

Evite o uso de joias, perfumes, produtos de pele com fortes fragrâncias, cosméticos e produtos de limpeza.


Article in English: Anxiety can build up as a result of too much stress in your daily life. Adequate problem-solving and stress-management is required to help you overcome these stressors and minimize feelings of anxiety. With people who have a natural tendency towards anxiety, the need is strong to try to control the environment even when that is not possible. Focus on what you can control. Grab a notepad and write down all the things that are worrying you at the moment. Brainstorm a few strategies on how you can fix the issues or prepare for them more appropriately. For example, if you are worried about an upcoming speech, you can make a plan to practice the speech nightly and, at some point, deliver it in front of a mock audience. People with anxiety often increase their feelings of worry with unhelpful or irrational thought patterns. Perhaps you are worried about your sibling who is traveling across country. You may develop intense, anxious feelings if you miss hearing from your sister or brother even by a few minutes. It may be helpful to challenge your worries with realism. For instance, in the above scenario, you may have started to tell yourself "something is wrong with my sister" or "she's been hurt". You can easily challenge this premise by looking up news reports that relate to her travel route. If you have heard no reports of a car accident, then you can make a more accurate statement like "she has been delayed in calling me for some reason" or "maybe she is having trouble accessing her phone". If you suffer from an extreme form of anxiety such as regular panic attacks, your body goes into "flight or fight" mode even when you may not be in danger. People who experience panic attacks may feel as though their lives are being threatened and a feeling of doom may come over them. Rational thinking can also help with such scenarios. Look around at your immediate surroundings. Are you being threatened in some way? If not, repeat this phrase over and over again until you begin to feel calm: "I am not in danger. I am safe."...

Article in English: Anxiety felt at school can stem from a variety of factors, including problems at home, high expectations to achieve, relationship or friendship issues, or trouble concentrating or focusing in the classroom environment. Students with panic disorder can easily fall behind other students because they may have to leave the classroom environment or miss school more than other students.  You should make an extra effort to keep your parents and teachers in the loop of what's going on with you. If you feel like your workload is too stressful or unreasonable, think about dropping a course or an extracurricular activity. If your parents often pressure you to be high-achieving, speak with your school counselor about some ways you may discuss this issue with them. She may be able to help you find ways to talk to your parents and feel less pressure about their expectations of you. Bullying can negatively affect those who are bullied, those who bully, and those who witness bullying. Kids who are bullied may experience symptoms of depression and anxiety, which means that instances of bullying could be the source of your panic at school. Take a stand against bullies at school by:  Raise your chin and make eye contact with the student who is bullying you. Tell the student in a calm, even voice to leave you alone. You can also choose to ignore the bully. If speaking up for yourself or ignoring the bully does not work, don't keep bullying to yourself. Tell someone as soon as possible. Tell a teacher, parent, older sibling, or school counselor about what is going on. You may also want to avoid the places at school where bullies gather. The older you get, the more responsibilities you have in both school and at home. If you are not managing your time well, you could be putting yourself at risk for even greater anxiety. Here are some tips for better time management:  Break bigger projects down into smaller tasks, like dividing a book report down to reading the book, then reviewing the book and taking notes, then writing an...

Article in English: Any case of severe itching that lasts weeks or months could result from scabies. Signs of scabies include:  Intense itching, especially at night.  Small red bumps (they may be pimple-like) appear on the skin like a rash. The rash can be on the whole body or limited to certain areas. Common places include the wrist, armpit, elbow between fingers, genital area, waist, and beltline. The rash can also have small blisters.  Small burrow lines between the bumps. They are typically light gray and slightly raised.  Norwegian scabies, or "crusted scabies," is a particularly severe form. Signs of crusted scabies include thick crusts on the skin that crumble easily and may appear greyish. They contain hundreds of thousands of mites and eggs. Crusted scabies is rare and typically seen in patients with suppressed immune systems Be particularly vigilant of these symptoms if you have been in contact with anyone infected with scabies. It is important that you visit your doctor. Over-the-counter and home remedies will not treat the infestation completely.  The doctor will usually only need to see the rash to diagnose the condition. He might also take a sample by scraping under the bumps and looking for the presence of mites, eggs, and feces under the microscope. Be sure to tell your doctor if you are pregnant or have any problems such as serious illness, or other severe skin diseases. If your itching is severe, you may want to treat it on your own while waiting for your doctor's appointment or prescription. Soaking in cold water or applying calamine lotion may provide relief from itching. You can also use over-the-counter oral antihistamines, such as cetirizine (Zyrtec), diphenhydramine hydrochloride (Benadryl). Once diagnosed, your doctor will usually prescribe a mite-killing cream or lotion containing five percent Permethrin. Always follow your doctor's and pharmacist's instructions exactly when using the cream.  Permethrin is topically applied and has a few side effects such as burning/stinging and itching.  Permethrin...

Article in English: Any coconut oil will work, whether it's labeled for hair or cooking. There are many types, however, so use this guide to find a quality oil:  A *"virgin," "extra-virgin," or "unrefined" label means the coconut oil has no added chemicals. A high quality virgin coconut oil should be pure white when solid, and clear when liquid. A "refined" or unlabeled product has probably gone through an industrial process. There are high- and low-quality examples, but they are difficult to evaluate without researching the brand. These tend to have a more mild scent. Either type of oil can be extracted from the coconut in one of several ways. This is a little technical, and you can skip it without much harm done. For those interested in finding the perfect brand, here's a breakdown:  "Centrifuged" oils tend to have a more mild scent, and little risk of damage. "Expeller-pressed" or "cold-pressed" oils range from mild to strong scented. Low-quality examples may have heat damage, which cause unpleasant burnt scents. "Direct Micro Expelled" (DME) oil tends to be high-quality, and created directly by coconut farmers. This may be difficult to find.

Article in English: Any cosmetic surgery has a number of things that can go wrong, and you should weigh those risks against the value of permanently reducing the size of your lip(s).  Complications from anesthesia exist in most surgeries, ask your surgeon or anesthesiologist about them. There is a risk of infection in and around the operating site--and the lip/mouth area is already a high risk area. Excessive bleeding or internal damage resulting in more operations can result. Nerve damage, temporary or permanent, can result--necessitating more operations, leaving the area numb, or in pain. Scarring can occur in the operating area, resulting in more operations to remove the affected skin. This procedure needs to be performed by a American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) certified surgeon. This surgeon is also the doctor who will evaluate if you are a candidate for the procedure.  The surgeon will review your medical history, make a clinical assessment of your lips, discuss concerns, and go over the procedure. If the surgeon recommends the procedure, they will explain its details, costs, risks, and recovery to you. During the 1-hour long procedure, the surgeon will give you local anesthetic or more complete oral sedation. Then they will make an incision along the length of the lip inside the mouth, remove a strip of tissue, and stitch the cut closed. The cost of lip reduction surgery can range from $1,500 to $4,000, and because it is considered entirely cosmetic, is usually not covered by insurance. Soreness, tightness, and pain are common sensations to feel after lip reduction surgery. Your surgeon may provide recovery instructions and prescribe painkillers to help alleviate the discomfort.  Avoid vigorous exercise. Sleep with your head elevated, perhaps with a couple of pillows under your head. Avoid highly acidic/citrus foods. Eat softer and pureed foods for the recovery period. Rinse with antiseptic mouthwash to fight infection at the incision site. The sutures should be removed within a week-to-ten days of the procedure if...

Article in English: Any cuts or wounds to the eye could potentially result in permanent damage to your pet’s sight. To increase the odds of a healthy recovery, take him to the vet immediately for evaluation and treatment. If the cut looks severe, like it won't heal on its own, you need to have a vet look at it. All wounds that penetrate through the skin to the muscle, tendon, or fat need professional evaluation. After assessing the wound, the vet might suggest giving the dog stitches to promote healing. Bites usually involve crushing damage to the dog's tissue. This can complicate recovery, so bite wounds need flushing and drains, which both need to be done under anesthesia by your vet. Animals' mouths are full of bacteria, so there's a risk of infection even if the bite doesn't seem severe. If the wound fills up with fluid instead of healing healthily, ask the vet if he or she recommends draining it. Debridement is the removal of damaged or infected tissue from around the wound. Both of these procedures will require the vet to put your dog under anesthesia. These medications can treat or prevent infection, which slows healing. Your veterinarian should assess the wound, determine if there are signs of infection, and discuss antibiotics with you if necessary.

Article in English: Any dairy products, including milk and yogurt, can react with the Cipro and make it less effective. Don't consume any dairy products 2 hours before or after you take your dose.  If you do eat dairy products, wait 6 hours to take Cipro or take it 2 hours before your next meal. If you're eating dairy products with a large meal, it's OK to take your Cipro. If you need to take an antacid, vitamin, or supplement, take it 6 hours before you take Cipro or 2 hours after.  Talk to your doctor if you're not sure how to take Cipro with antacids, vitamins, or supplements. Cipro can make the effects of caffeine last longer. You can have coffee, tea, or soda while you’re on Cipro, but don’t have more than 2 of those drinks per day. You should also avoid taking your Cipro with those types of drinks. It’s better to take it with clear water.

Article in English: Any designated cross country skiing area should have smooth, groomed trails, often with two tracks to slot your skis into. This is the best way to learn cross country skiing. Skiing off the trails, or "back country" skiing, requires significantly more effort, and is only recommended once you are comfortable on the trails, and have a heavy-duty pair of skis. If you are not at a prepared skiing area, pick a flat area of powdery snow with no obstacles. Stand on flat ground with your skis parallel to each other. Bend forward at the ankles, and slightly at your knees. Keep your torso straight, not bending at the hips. This position helps keep you balanced, with your weight over your feet. Scoot one ski at a time slightly forward, getting a feel for the amount of force you can apply without losing your balance or bending above the hips. It takes significant leg strength to turn this shuffling motion into the "kick and glide" motion described below. Many recreational skiers prefer to only use this shuffling technique of moving forward. Every skier falls, so learn the correct way to get up early on in your practice. Set the poles aside after a fall. Adjust your skis so they are parallel to each other, rolling onto your back if necessary to get them untangled. Place the skis onto the snow, to one side of your body, and crawl forward until your feet are behind you. Kneel on top of the skis, and use your poles to push yourself up. If you fall on a hillside, raise your skis in the air and bring them down on the slope below you to get in a more stable position. Crawl to a flat area before you stand up. Keep the skis to one side as you crawl, not directly beneath you, or your weight could push them down the hill. Leave your ski poles aside for the moment, so you can practice this new motion without relying on your arm strength. Push your right foot down into the snow to get moving, swinging your right arm forward and your left arm back. Immediately shift your weight over your left ski and raise your right ski slightly...

Article in English: Any health and wellness policy needs to involve anti-bullying protocols. Make sure this is covered and supported by the management and is taken seriously at all levels of the business. Pair this with an open door policy and hold frequent orientation meetings regarding workplace bullying, making sure employees at all levels are on the look out for this behavior. It's easy to sit back and hope for the best, thinking that your employees will be able to work it out among themselves. It won't. Don't let a problem fester among your employees if you want a productive, healthy, and effective work environment.  Investigate all complaints seriously and fully. Even if complaints seem to come from overly sensitive employees and turn out to be the result of simple misunderstandings, they're worthy of your attention. Often bullying evolves from a sense of competition in the workplace, leading employees who feel threatened by the skills of other employees to attempt to bring them down or sabotage their efforts by engaging in psychological warfare. It's a dangerous and problematic workplace dynamic to let fester. Workplace competition is based on the belief that employees want to be the best and will work harder when rewarded for successes. While it's true that competition in some business models can increase productivity, it also increases the turnover of employees and can create a hostile and unwelcoming environment. The more involved your workforce is at all levels with itself, the less likely the lowest-level workers are to take matters into their own hands. Think of it as Lord of the Flies--don't let the parents be absent from the island, and the kids will be ok.

Article in English: Any kind of milk works for this technique; however, skim milk works best, as it froths easily. Pour the milk into a glass jar and screw the lid on tightly.  A regular espresso or flat white requires about 0.5 cups (120 mL) of milk. Fill the jar no more than halfway so that the milk has room to froth. Take the lid off and place the jar of milk into the microwave. Adjust the microwave to the highest setting and then set it to heat for 30 seconds. The heat warms the milk and causes the foam to rise to the top of the jar.

Article in English: Any major electronic retailer should be able to help you with this purchase if you have questions. Generally, brackets come in a size range. This means you can buy a bracket that fits a range of TVs. For example, you might purchase a bracket that fits 32 to 56 inch (81.3 to 142.2 cm) televisions. Any flatscreen TV within this size range should fit the bracket, unless otherwise stated.    If the base is not already attached when you open the box, do not put it on; you'll just have to take it off later. If you have any reservations about laying your plasma TV glass-down on the carpet or floor, check the owner's manual for guidance. Some plasma screen manufacturers recommend working with the flat screen facing upright while attaching the brackets. Those are where you will place the bracket you purchased.  There might be three pieces to your mount. The two small brackets will attach to your TV. Remove any screws plugging the holes if necessary. Many TVs manufacturers plug their mounting holes with screws during assembly. Make sure that the brackets are facing the correct way when screwed to the TV. The bracket should be firmly bolted to the TV, without any wiggle room. You may need to use some washers that come with the bracket to get a tight fit.

Article in English: Any site that you make a purchase on should have a padlock icon next to the address when you are in the checkout process. This ensures that your information is encrypted as it is transferred to the Amazon servers, which prevents thieves from being able to read the data. If you don't see the padlock icon, do not purchase from that website. Secure sites will also have "https://www.example.com" instead of "http://www.example.com" You will have much more security if your account is compromised if you pay with a credit card instead of a debit card. This is because if your debit card information is stolen, the thieves have direct access to your bank account, whereas if the credit card information is stolen, it can all be quickly reversed by the credit card company. Try to use one credit card for all online purchases to help minimize the risk and keep any potential incidents isolated. If you are connected to an unsecured wireless network, any data that you send out from your device is unencrypted until it reaches the router. This means that hackers can "listen in" on your device and the information you are sending and receiving from the internet. If you had to enter a password to join the network, then it is secure and your data is being encrypted. For the most security, only make purchase from a computer on you home network. As you shop more online, you will inevitably be creating multiple accounts to use at various retailers. Always ensure that your passwords are different for each store, regardless of inconvenience, because if one store is compromised the thieves would have access to your payment information any store you use. Keep a record of all of your purchases so that you can compare your receipts to your bank statement. It will also help to have receipts for legitimate purchases in the event of fraud. You can either print and file your receipts or save them digitally. Viruses on your computer can jeopardize your security and send your information to hackers and thieves. To prevent this, make sure that you...

Article in English: Any wood surface can be wood burned. However, some are better than others. Light-colored and soft wood, such as bass, works especially well. This is because the wood burning stands out on the light color and you don't have to push very hard to make your marks. Woods with minimal grain also work best for wood burning. The grain of wood can cause the lines of wood burning to be bumpy and less precise. Wood with little grain allows you to draw smoother, more precise lines. When wood burning you should begin with a smooth, sanded surface. While it is possible to wood burn a rough surface, wood burning that is done on a smooth surface will be easier to complete and the design will come out more neat and clear in the end. Sand off any coatings that are on the surface you will be wood burning. Burning through paint or stain can create a lot of toxic smoke that is not good to breathe in. The easiest way to get your design onto your wood is to draw it right on with a pencil. This can be done freehand or by using a template or stencil to get a more exact design. It's also possible to freehand your letters with the wood burner. However, when beginning wood burning it is easier to have a pattern on the wood to follow. Make a design on paper or on a computer and transfer it onto your wood surface. Begin by drawing the design on a piece of paper or by creating on a computer and then printing it out. Then place a piece of carbon paper on the wood and set the paper with the design on top of the carbon paper. By taking a pencil or stylus and tracing your design, you will transfer the design onto the surface of the wood. When placing the carbon paper on your wood, make sure the the carbon side of the paper is facing the wood. The side facing up is typically shiny in comparison. There is a technique in which you can transfer photocopied images onto wood using your wood burning iron. Buy an image transfer tip for your iron, which are sold specifically for this technique.

Article in English: Anyone can get a DVT, but some people are at a higher risk than others. People at a higher risk of DVT include those who are: Hospitalized or who have recently had surgery. Immobile. Elderly. Overweight or obese. Have a family history of blood clots. Have had recent or recurring cancer. Are pregnant or recently had a baby. Taking hormonal birth control or hormone replacement medication. Have recently been injured. An ultrasound (or ultrasonography) is an imaging technique that uses sound waves to examine how blood flows through your veins.  Ultrasounds are the most common tests used to diagnose DVT.   This non-invasive test can provide your doctor with real-time images of the inner workings of your veins and organs, which can help determine the severity of your DVT and provide a potential course of treatment.  Your doctor might suggest a related technique, a duplex ultrasonography (or duplex ultrasounds).  Duplex ultrasonography is similar to the regular ultrasound, but it monitors movement of blood and other internal objects and fluids.  Duplex ultrasounds can provide more accurate information about the speed and flow of blood.  Your doctor will help you schedule an appointment with a sonographer in a vascular laboratory if they believe you should get this test, usually at a large hospital with the necessary sonography equipment. During the test, a technician will simply apply a thin layer of gel to your legs and/or feet, then wave an ultrasound wand over them.  You might also need to wear a blood pressure cuff. The D-dimer test examines a blood sample for small pieces of clotted blood that may have broken off.  If your physician detects a large number of these clot fragments, there’s a greater likelihood that you have DVT. Contrast venography involves getting a dye injected into a large vein in the foot or ankle, then taking an X-ray or series of X-rays over time.  The X-rays will reveal how your veins are transmitting the blood throughout the body.  If there are any clots, they will appear on the X-rays as...
