Article in English: If you cut into the bars before they are fully cooled, they will stick to each other. If you intend to eat them within two days, the bars can be covered and left to sit out at room temperature because of their low moisture content. The more sugar a bar contains, the safer it is to store it at room temperature because the sugar absorbs moisture and creates an environment that is hard for bacteria to thrive in. If they are going to be consumed over a longer period of time, you will need other options.  Vacuum seal individual bars to keep them at room temperature. The oxygen free environment reduces the chances that bacteria can grow. These can be kept in a cabinet for up to 5 days. Refrigerate the bars. This is the safest and best way to store them. In the fridge, the bars can last 7 to 10 days. Be wary of other foods in the fridge because the bars may have a tendency to pick up volatile flavors, like onion, which can ruin their taste. Freeze the bars. Bars can be frozen for an indefinite period of time without worry of microbiological contamination. However, the quality of the bars will degrade. It is best to freeze homemade snack bars for up to one month for optimum quality. Freezing will slowly dehydrate the bars, and, since they have so little moisture to begin with, too long in the freezer will cause them to crumble. Also, the moisture that comes out of the food can cause ice crystals on the surface of the food, which acts like a knife to the food breaking the texture.

Article in English: If you decide that you'd rather broil than boil your lobster, start by turning on your broiler and letting it warm up for about five to 10 minutes. Mix 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of pepper, 1/2 tsp of paprika and 1 tsp of lemon juice together and rub on the exposed lobster meat generously. While broiling, these seasonings will seep deep into the lobster and add excellent flavor. You can cover the baking sheet in tin foil, if you would like. The foil will reduce the need to clean the pan. Broil until the lobster meat becomes opaque and the outer tail turns a light shade of brown. Let your lobster tail cool for five to 10 minutes after you remove it from the oven.

Article in English: If you decide to let your body hair grow, you might hear comments about how it’s “unsanitary” or “unhygienic.” This is simply not true. Body hair is normal and healthy, and may even protect your skin from damage. Remember that removing your hair is a personal choice that has nothing to do with your health or cleanliness. If someone tells you it’s unhygienic, say, “You probably don’t know this, but body hair is natural and healthy. There’s nothing dirty about a woman being hairy, just like it’s safe for men to be hairy.” Just as you should never feel pressured to remove your body hair, don’t feel like you can’t remove hair that bothers you. How much hair you have on your body is a personal choice, so it’s okay if you want to remove some of it. Do what makes you happy, and know you can change your mind at any time. For instance, you might decide to let all of your body hair grow, or you may decide to just shave your legs. Similarly, you might grow out your hair most of the year but remove it during the hotter months of the year. your face or body hair daily to control excess body hair. The easiest way to remove hair is to shave it. Apply a shaving cream or soap over the skin you plan to shave. Then, drag a razor over your skin to remove the hair. Go against the direction of your hair growth to remove it effectively. Then, rinse your skin to remove the shaving cream or soap. You may need to shave some areas twice a day if your face grows very fast. For instance, you may notice a 5 o’clock shadow that reappears in the evening. You may prefer to touch up visible areas. or wax hair to be hair-free for 1-3 weeks. Both plucking and waxing pull your hair out by the roots, so it takes longer for it to re-grow. Plucking is best for small areas, while waxing works well for any area on your body. Pluck facial hair and stray body hairs at home using a pair of tweezers. If you want to wax, use a waxing kit from your local drugstore or visit an esthetician.  Plucking works great when you have a few stray hairs, like facial...

Article in English: If you decide to start the cleome early, you should prepare to sow the seeds indoors between mid-February and late March.  Ideally, seeds started indoors should be sown roughly four to six weeks before you plan to transplant them outside. While cleome can be sown early indoors, many gardeners believe that the plants thrive best when sown outdoors. For best results, choose a seed starting soil mix instead of a standard garden mix. Loosely fill the containers with soil; do not pack it in. Plastic seedling trays are recommended, but you could also use small plastic cups, small plastic pots, or small ceramic pots. Regardless of the specifics, try to stick with a container that has a diameter or length no greater than 4 inches (10 cm). Make a shallow 1/4-inch (6-mm) indentation in the soil with your fingertip, the drop a seed inside. Sprinkle over the seed with a very light layer of soil.  If you are using small seedling trays, plant one seed per compartment. If you are planting the seeds in a slightly larger plant, make sure that the seeds are 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. Place the sown seeds and their containers in large plastic bags, then transfer the bags to the refrigerator. Keep the seeds there for two weeks.  This part of the process, known as vernalization, takes advantage of the plant's natural ability to thrive when brought out of cold temperatures and into warm temperatures, and mimics the way this happens in nature. Only keep the seeds in the refrigerator, though. Do not use the freezer. Do not allow frost to form, and do not allow the soil to dry out. The seeds should be kept in a warm location with regular, daily access to direct sunlight.  The soil temperature should be kept between 70 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit (21 and 25 degrees Celsius) during this time. Bottom sources of heat work best. Consider resting the containers on top of a heat mat designed for use with plants. If you cannot provide bottom heat, at least make sure that the seeds remain in a room that is continually kept warm. Usually, the seeds...

Article in English: If you decide to talk to your partner about the issue, you should arrange a time to discuss it in a private, quiet place. You may choose a neutral spot, such as a coffee shop or a park bench. Or you may invite your partner over to your home when you are alone so you can have a private conversation one on one.   If possible, give yourself some time between when you find out the news and having this conversation. Allow time to collect your thoughts and try to identify your emotions. Try to talk in person with your partner, rather than on the phone or by text. This will ensure you can express your emotions clearly and sincerely to your partner face to face. Ask your partner, “Can we talk about the fact that you’re married?” or “Can we discuss your marriage and what this means for our relationship?” Begin the conversation by telling your partner you know they are married and explain how you found out. Perhaps you spoke to your partner's spouse or you discovered the information through a mutual friend. Be clear about what you know to your partner so you can start the discussion from a position of honesty.  For example, you may tell your partner, "I know you are married," or, "I recently learned you are married." Even if you are embarrassed about the means by which you discovered that your partner is married, be honest about how you found out. Being honest about this, even if you feel you did something wrong (such as look at their private email), can begin to shift the dynamic of the relationship toward truth and honesty. Once you and your partner are alone, explain how you are feeling about the situation. Use “I” statements so your partner understands how you feel and can listen to what you have to say. Speak clearly and calmly in a regular tone of voice. This will ensure you and your partner have a productive conversation. For example, you may say, “I am feeling upset about your marriage. I feel as though I do not know what this means for our relationship.” Or you may say, “I am angry that you did not tell me you...

If your doctor suspects that you have diabetes, she will order additional testing. There are different types of tests to diagnose types 1 and 2 diabetes as well as gestational diabetes. The following tests are used to diagnose diabetes:  A1c blood test, which is also known as a glycated hemoglobin test. This test shows your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months by showing how much blood sugar is attached to your hemoglobin. A level of 6.5 is considered diabetic.  Random blood sugar test, which examines your blood sugar at an unspecified time. A level of 200 milligrams per deciliter indicates diabetes.  Fasting blood sugar test, which is conducted after an overnight fast. If your blood sugar level is 126 milligrams per deciliter, it’s considered diabetic.  Oral glucose tolerance test, which requires overnight fasting and then drinking a sugary liquid the next morning. After this, your blood sugar levels will be tested over the next two hours.

Article in English: If you develop shin pain that won't go away after a few days, and none of the usual treatments work, then schedule an appointment with your family physician. Your doctor will examine your legs and ask questions about your family history, diet, and lifestyle, and maybe even send you for a blood test (to check blood glucose levels among many other possible causes of lower leg issues, calcium imbalance, potassium deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, etc., and rule out the possibility of diabetes). However, your family doctor is not a musculoskeletal or circulatory specialist, so you may need a referral to another doctor with more specialized training.  Other types of healthcare professionals who could help diagnose and treat shin splints include osteopaths, chiropractors, physical therapists and massage therapists. Your family doctor may recommend anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin to help you deal with the pain and inflammation of shin splints. Shin splints are not considered a serious medical problem (although they can be quite painful and hinder walking), but there are some serious conditions that can mimic shin splints such as stress (hairline) fractures of the tibia, venous insufficiency (leaky vein valves of the lower leg), diabetic neuropathy, bone cancer, chronic compartment syndrome (swelling of the lower leg muscles) or popliteal artery entrapment. As such, a medical specialist may be needed to properly diagnose your condition, such as vascular surgeon or an orthopedist (musculoskeletal specialist).  Vascular ultrasound is a painless procedure that allows a doctor to assess the function of the veins and arteries of your lower leg. X-rays or bone scans of the lower legs can be used to rule out more serious medical conditions such as bone cancer or fractures. Make sure you get the doctor to clearly explain the diagnosis, especially the cause (if possible), and provide you with various treatment options for your condition. Obviously, conditions such as diabetes, cancer, or venous...

Article in English: If you do not have an iron available, a hairdryer can have the same effect. Use the hairdryer to melt the wax and then carefully lay the brown paper bag on top of the wax. The paper bag will begin to absorb the warm wax. Repeat the process until all of the wax has been transferred. Use a blank paper bag or clean rag for this method as well. WD-40 breaks down the wax and makes it softer and easier to clean off of upholstery. Gently scrub the solution into the fabric and wipe away with a clean rag or sponge. Use warm water to clean the solution from the fabric once all of the wax is removed. Test the WD-40 on an inconspicuous portion of the fabric before using it on a more noticeable section. Combine the dish detergent with warm water in a small container. Dish detergent is designed to break down grease and, in some cases, can break down the wax. Gently scrub the wax with a clean sponge or rag and then let dry.

Article in English: If you do not have enough funnels for each jar, you can use the same funnel for all of them. Simply fill one jar before removing the funnel and using it to fill the next. Use a large ladle to make the process cleaner and easier. Fill the jars, leaving only 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) of headspace or empty space at the top of each jar. Stir in 2 Tbsp (60 ml) of lemon juice into each of the three quart-size jars of tomato sauce. Lemon juice is a strong natural preservative and will keep your tomato sauce from spoiling more effectively. Make sure that the lids are tightly secured, but avoid over-tightening them since doing so may cause the lids to pop off their tracks. Wipe away any excess tomato sauce with a clean, dry towel. Make sure that they are well positioned so that they do not slide around or strike against each other. Fill the canner with enough water to completely cover the jars with at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water. Bring the water to a boil before you start the time. Alternatively, you can use a clean stockpot to boil the jars, as well. You may need to place a rack or a dish towel into the bottom of the pot to prevent the jars from sliding around, however. The amount of time you need to boil the jars for will vary depending on the altitude you live at.  Boil for 40 minutes if you are at an altitude of 1000 feet (304.8 m) or less. Boil for 45 minutes at an altitude between 1,000 feet (304.8 m) and 3000 feet (304.8 m and 914.4 m). Boil for 50 minutes at altitudes between 3000 and 6000 feet (914.4 m and 1.82 km). Boil for 55 minutes at altitudes above 6000 feet (1.82 km). Allow them to dry and cool in a draft-free area overnight. Do not let the jars touch as they cool. Press the center "button" on each lid. If it does not move, the jars are sealed. If it moves up and down or makes a popping sound, the jars have not sealed. You will need to reheat the contents of the jar before attempting to can them again.

Article in English: If you do not have proof it is generally wise to avoid accusing the person of being an addict. This is because some psychological disorders have similar signs. Instead, if the person has not done anything specifically wrong, continue to monitor the person’s work. If you are a fellow employee and strongly suspect someone of abusing drugs, consider bringing the subject up with your boss, without accusing the person directly or explicitly. Your boss will then be able to begin monitoring the person’s work. Keep a written record of your observations, including dates and times. If possible, try to have a witness for each observation that you list (such as someone else who was in the room when the suspected person began irrationally yelling at a co worker for something that the suspected person had actually done). Be attuned to the person’s odor, whether his or her eyes are glassy, speech issues, and whether they appear drowsy. If you think a person may be under the influence of drugs, but you are not sure, get another supervisor as your witness, take the employee aside, and tell the person to go home. Do not allow him to drive if you can avoid it. Then: Talk to the person the next day and ask them to explain their behavior. There may be a reason other than substance abuse that was causing the person to act the way that they did the previous day. If they can give no viable reason, go over the company's policies again and urge the person to seek help. If the person comes clean and confesses to abusing drugs (which is unlikely but possible), help the person to get the support that they need. Try to help them learn more about the resources available to them. Many companies offer educational materials and other resources to employees that are struggling with substance abuse. Create a list of treatment plans or facilities, as well as some support groups in the area. If you are the one that will meet with the person, do so with an observer to help keep the situation under control. A substance abuser may act irrationally...

Article in English: If you do not have the original packaging for your TV, you can buy a packing kit that is specially made for packing TVs. These are available from most moving companies and at many home improvement stores.  Packing kits typically include a box that can hold TVs in a range of sizes. Look at the packaging before you buy the kit to make sure your TV will fit in it. Kits should include a box and corner cushioning for the TV. They may also include padding, such as bubble wrap. Each type of packing kit will have slightly different directions. Read your kit's directions before starting packing and follow them in order to protect your TV from damage. It is a good idea to wrap your TV in a protective layer before putting it in a box. This protective layer can consist of soft padding, such as a thin blanket, or packing material, such as bubble wrap. Use a thin layer of padding before putting the corner protectors on so you can be sure that they will fit over the padding. Your packing kit should come with corner protectors that fit over the corners of your TV. There will be 4 included and they should be adjustable to fit a variety of sizes of TVs. Follow the directions for how to put them on your TV. Once the corner protectors are in place you should slide your TV into its box. Many packing kits come with a 2-part box in order to fit a variety of sizes of TVs. Place your TV in 1 box piece and then slide the second piece on over the first. Because packing kits are made to fit many different TVs, there may be a lot of empty space in the box. Try filling this space with packing material, such as newspaper or bubble wrap, to ensure that your TV is kept secure. If there is a lot of extra space, try using a moving blanket or small cushion to fill up the space. Once your TV is properly packed, you can seal up the box. Make sure the box is thoroughly taped so that the box will stay intact even if it is moved around and jostled in transit.

Article in English: If you do not like the thickness of your veal, slice it into thinner pieces. If you want to make schnitzel, a very thin version of veal scallops, use a meat hammer to gently pound the veal until it is flattened to your liking. For the best results, do this on a wooden cutting board. Extra fat around the edges of your veal may cause curling when you fry it. Before battering your cutlets, use a small, sharp knife to trim extra fat. Brace each piece with one hand and trace around the edges carefully until the pieces are perfect. Begin the breading process by coating veal pieces in regular, all-purpose flour. Next, dip them in a bowl of raw egg until they are fully covered. Finally, place the cutlets into a bowl of breadcrumbs, which will stick to the flour and egg coating very easily. Place a dab of butter or into a 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of cooking oil into a sautée pan and set it to a medium heat. Place your cutlets it the plan. Cook them for 2–3 minutes, turning once halfway through. Adjust the cooking time for thicker cutlets. Use a meat thermometer if you are not sure if they are cooked through. For a complete meal, serve breaded veal scallops with roasted vegetables like potatoes, carrots, zucchini, and red peppers. You can also serve them with spaghetti or other pasta for a satisfying supper. To boost the flavor of your meal, top your breaded veal scallops with a garlic cream sauce or tomato sauce.

Article in English: If you don't already know the number for where you need to call, you will need to find the number, either on a website, in a book, or from a family member or friend that you are trying to call. The area codes are 2-5 digits long. A phone number without the area code is 3-9 digits long. Generally, numbers you would need to call would be about 9 digits, so if it is only 9 digits long then you will need to figure out the area code. One things you can do is look up the area code for the region you are calling and see if it matches up with the first few numbers that you have. International calling rates are usually quite steep, so a call to the wrong number would be a costly mistake. If the number can't be retrieved directly from the person or business being called, international phone directories, both residential and commercial, are available on the Internet.

Article in English: If you don't feel comfortable in what you're wearing, that will show. Pick something in a color and style you love, and your confidence will shine through. Maybe you love an awesome tankini and shorts, or maybe you like to rock a one piece. Maybe you like short shorts or maybe you prefer board-length shorts. Just pick whatever makes you happy.  Try a bright color to really stand out, such as turquoise or hot pink. Patterns can also add pizazz to your outfit. You could try polka dots, stripes, or even a funky plaid suit. You could also go classic and simple with a one-piece black suit. If you want to wear makeup to the pool, keep it simple. Most of it is probably going to wash off anyway, so you might as well go light. Skip the foundation altogether, if you use it, and just go with a primer. Any makeup you wear should obviously be waterproof so it doesn't run all over your face. Try a waterproof mascara and a waterproof lipstick in a light color. Once again, if you're getting in the pool, you don't want a super fancy hairdo. You can go for a messy, wavy look by spraying in a texturizer that adds waves. You can also twist your bangs up and then pin them back out of your face. Throw your hair up in a ponytail if that's more your style. If your hair is super short, just go for a wild, natural look, as it will soon be getting wet. When you arrive and leave, it's best to have something besides just your bathing suit on. Plus, there are likely to be games and food, and you'll want to have some clothes on for that. However, you can keep it simple. Throw on a t-shirt over your swim shorts or a coverup dress over your bathing suit, and you're good to go. Add a pair of cool sandals and shades to complete the look.

Article in English: If you don't have a dishwasher, it can be easy to let dishes go for a day or two (or longer). Letting dishes sit around, whether in the sink or in the dishwasher, can spread harmful bacteria at a rapid rate. If you can't get to them immediately, let them soak to ease the process when you get to them, but try to limit it to an overnight soak. This will ensure that any gunk immediately in the drain will wash away before it solidifies, making it harder to remove later. Alternate between using very hot tap water and boiling water. This will also prevent odors from forming.

Before getting started, you'll need to figure out what kind of soup you're looking to make. Is it a hearty vegetable soup? A mineral-rich bone broth? Having a good idea of where to go early on will take the stress and guesswork out of the process later on. While this is by no means an exhaustive list of recommended ingredients to have in your homemade soup, it's a good place to start.  Potatoes, peas, kidney beans and carrots are great if you're looking to make a hearty broth. Other vegetables like roughly chopped celery, tomatoes and corn can give the soup a richer taste. Aromatics like onions and garlic are highly recommended for their flavour. The smaller you cut them, the more their flavour will inform the rest of the broth. Noodles are great in soups (for instance, chicken noodle soup) as they tend to embody the flavour of the stock. They're an especially effective addition to a soup that's otherwise lacking in solid substance. If you choose to have meat in your soup, make sure it is pre-cooked, and kept in small enough pieces. You'll also want to make sure the type of meat complements your soup stock.   If you're using beans, make sure to have them pre-soaked in water. This will ensure they cook more evenly alongside the other ingredients. There are multiple ways to do this. Though it depends on the type of soup you would like to make, one recommended method is to make a stock by simmering soup bones in a pot of water overnight. This will extract the minerals and flavour from the bones, giving your soup a hearty and nutritious base to start with. Chicken and beef bones are standard choices for soups, though different bones will each yield their own individual tastes.  For a vegetarian alternative, adding finely chopped vegetables to a pot of water and letting it simmer will make a fine vegetable stock for your soup. If you're thrifty, you can use...

Article in English: If you don't have one, or don't use it properly, you might develop bad habits. You can buy them online or at a specialty sporting goods store.  If you go to a squash club, you may be able to rent a racket, and balls, instead of buying one. If you just want to try out the sport to see if you like it, you could use a different kind of racket, such as a tennis racket or a racquetball racket. However, if you decide that you would like to play more than once or twice, you should get an actual squash racket. Squash balls come in different colors which signify their speed, yellow is super slow, green or white is slow, red is medium, and blue is fast. More experienced players use slower balls, so as a beginner you should get a faster one. This will help you to make the ball bounce easier. Squash balls are not sold in all sporting goods stores. You may have the most luck finding them online. Courts are located in dedicated squash clubs but also at some gyms and sports centers. Call the location you want to play at to make sure a court is available, as you may need to make a specific reservation to use it.  You will need to wear sneakers or tennis shoes that do not have dark soles inside a squash court. Dark soles are not allowed because of the marks they would make all over the court. If you become highly interested in the sport and want to play on a regular basis, you could join a squash club if there is one near you.

Article in English: If you don't know where the fishing spots are in the map, open your map by pressing M and then look for the white fish icon.  Different maps in the game give different levels and types of fish. The higher the level of the map, the tougher and higher tier equipment needed to fish. If you plan on fishing at a level 45+ map, it's advisable that you get a better fishing rod, bait, and equipment. After choosing a fishing spot, head to it and stand on dry land or shallow water. Click on the Fishing icon in the water to throw out your line. A circular window will appear on your screen with an image of a fishing line. There are three different fishing modes available:  Passive - This is the default fishing mode. As soon as you cast out your line, your character goes into Passive mode, and will automatically pull in fish until you are either out of bait or your inventory is full. This is great for farming equipment such as the Green fishing set. You cannot catch Orange fish in passive mode. Active - In this mode, you control your rod. To do this, once a fish takes your bait, click the fish icon in the circular window to start reeling. See the next Step for details on how to fish in Active mode. Active Mode is time-consuming and has a greater possibility of bandits appearing. Semi-Active - In this mode, you will control your rod whenever you desire. For instance, if your indicator shows that a weak fish caught your bait, you can leave it to passive. If the indicator tells you that you caught a powerful fish, you can take control to successfully catch it. This mode is still time-consuming, and bandits may still spawn. This is the only way to catch valuable Orange fish, so it pays to start practicing early. The goal is to keep the moving bar in the blue area to avoid damaging the durability of your rod. There are a few things to keep your eye on during Active fishing:  Target Durability - This is the fish's "health". When the bar empties, the fish is caught. Fishing Equipment Durability - This is your "health". When the...

Article in English: If you don't plan to use your fresh mushrooms within a week or so, you'll want to freeze them to preserve them. Start by rinsing the mushrooms under water and then letting them dry in open air. You can spread them on a paper or tea towel to catch the excess water. Once the mushrooms are relatively dry, brush them with a paper towel or mushroom brush. This gets some of the more stubborn dirt off of them. Slice your mushrooms into even pieces before you sauté them. Using an egg slicer can give you uniform pieces. Sauté them in one to two tablespoons of olive oil with some salt and pepper to taste. Once you’ve finished cooking the mushrooms, let them cool before you freeze them. Spread them out on a cookie sheet in a single layer until they are cool to the touch. Once the mushrooms have cooled, store them in resealable plastic bags and freeze them. Cooking before freezing them prevents them from absorbing too much moisture when they defrost.

Article in English: If you don't suffer from either SNHL or CHL, but simply want to improve your hearing then engage in regular cardiovascular exercise because it helps with blood circulation and fine tuning within the ear . Play music at relatively low volumes while having a conversation with a friend. Add a second source of music and then a third source while continuously focusing on the conversation. This will train your ears to filter out ambient sounds. Close your eyes and ask a friend to walk to a location of their choosing somewhere away from you, perhaps 6 metres (20 ft) away or more. Have your partner make two-second bursts of sound with a horn or bell and then point to where you think the sound came from. Have your friend change their direction and distance each time. Close your eyes and listen to all the different sounds in your environment. One by one, try to decipher individual sounds that you hear, both near and far away. The more you practice, the more sounds you will learn to recognize. Examples include CLIX (based on identifying differences between words), Forbrain (based on recognizing pertinent sounds in voices), and Category Carousel (based on associating sounds with images).

Article in English: If you don't want to draw your own image, you'll need to find one that you can use. Use tools like Google Image Search or Bing to find the perfect picture, or use an image you've taken yourself. Forum avatars are almost always quite small, so the subject of your avatar should be easily distinguishable when shrunk. Landscapes and other full-frame photos are ill-suited for avatars. Faces, figures, objects, drawings, and other easily-seen subjects make for much better avatars. You don't need anything fancy to create your avatar, unless you're planning on adding effects or text. Any image editing software will work, from Paint to Photoshop. Since you don't have much space to work with for avatars, crop out everything around the subject. There are several ways to do this depending on the program you are using, but there is one way that is universal across all programs:  Click the rectangular selection tool and select just the subject. Copy it to the clipboard and then open a new file in your image editor. Paste the copied piece so that only the subject is on your canvas. Different forums have different rules about the size of the avatar image. The range is typically between 50 X 50 px to 100 X 100 px. Most forums will inform you of the limits when you use the avatar upload function in your user profile.  Some forums may allow rectangular avatars instead of just squares. Some forums may allow very large avatars. Now that your subject is isolated and you know your avatar dimension limits, you can choose whether you want to scale your image down or crop out a piece that fits the dimensions. Different programs will have different ways to go about this, but generally there is a "Resize Image" option. In Paint there is a Resize button on the Home tab, and in Photoshop you can click Image → Image Size to change the scale.  Whether you choose to scale or crop depends entirely on the subject and size of the image. If the subject takes up the entire image, such as a picture of a car, then scaling will ensure that it is all...

Article in English: If you don't want to use a liquid foundation, you should get a mineral powder instead of foundation. This gives lighter coverage than liquid, but it will also trap fewer bacteria in your skin and will allow your face to breathe. Alternatively, try a cream foundation, powder foundation, cream-to-powder foundation, or tinted moisturizer. Mineral makeup may be good for some, but others may find it too drying or quick to wear off. Getting the color right can be difficult if you have yellow undertones. This is simply a clear or very lightly tinted face powder that sets and gives a matte appearance to your face without the added coverage of a colored powder. There are a variety of setting powders available, from affordable drug store brands to more pricey, high-end products. This type of lip color is formulated to stay on your lips all day long, even when you eat and drink. Make sure to moisturize your lips properly before applying, as long-wear formulas are very drying.  There are a variety of long-wear lip products on the market, depending on the type of look you’re going for. Lip stains and long-wear lipsticks will last a long time, as will any type of lipstick with a matte finish. For even longer-lasting color, use a lipliner around your color. This helps the shape stay firm all day long. Applying this type of shadow over primer will keep your color in place all day long. Cream shadows tend to slip off a lot more easily. Apply the powder to the primer using an eyeshadow brush, and let it set. Water-resistant mascara works well to keep your eyes looking fresh all day. It won't budge if you happen to get wet or cry. Just make sure you don't sleep with it, as it will clump and make your lashes fall off.  Do not waste money on mascara primer. Mascara primer weighs down your eyelashes, making them look shorter. Unless it’s really urgent that you keep your mascara in place all day—such as for a special occasion like a wedding or a poolside photo shoot—opt for “water-resistant” mascaras over “waterproof” formulations....

Article in English: If you don't want to use a whole trash can, you can use an empty bucket or an empty cat litter container, and make it a designated cat waste can. It's important that you remember to set up the trash receptacle close to the litter box, so that you don't risk scattering waste or litter across the floor. Some experts recommend wearing disposable gloves and a dust mask to prevent the spread of toxoplasmosis, a coccidial organism that some cats carry and transmit through fecal matter. Even if you don't directly handle the feces, cleaning the litter box can cause dust to fly in the air, which can irritate the lungs and may lead to transmission of toxoplasmosis. Cat feces should be scooped out at least once every day. Some experts even recommend scooping out solid wastes twice a day for a really clean box. If you let solid wastes build up in the litter box, your cat may refuse to use the litter box, even if the litter was only changed a few days ago. Use a special scooper, available at most pet stores. These scoopers have a grated bottom, so you can collect solid waste while the surrounding litter falls through the grates and back into the litter box. If you use clumping litter, your cat's urine should form solid clumps of litter. These should be scooped on a daily basis, just like feces. If you don't use clumping litter, sprinkle a layer of baking soda at the bottom of the litter box, before you pour in the litter. This can help absorb the odors from cat urine that might get missed during daily scooping. If you're scooping the box out on a daily basis, there's a chance you might have lost some of the litter, either because it stuck to your cat's waste or because it simply spilled out during cleaning or use. Topping off your cat's litter every few days can help keep the box clean and appealing to your cat.

Article in English: If you don’t have a credit card, if you have a checking account, many banks and credit unions will give you a debit card. Most car rental agencies will accept a debit card instead of a credit card, but it can be a longer process.  Debit cards function almost like credit cards, except that the funds are debited (withdrawn) directly from your checking account, so you’re not really putting it “on credit.” That's why car rental companies that accept them will put you through additional hurdles to get the car. Check logo requirements. Some rental companies will let you use a debit card to rent a car, but they may require that the debt card has the right logos. Car companies often require Visa or MasterCard logos. Check with the rental agency.  Prepaid debit cards or those that aren’t linked to an actual bank account are sometimes not accepted by car rental companies. Don’t assume the company will accept the card just because it’s a debit card. To save time, you may want to bring extra identification. You might need it in order to use a debit card or other non credit card method. You should assume you will be asked to prove your identity other ways.  You might be asked to show proof of auto insurance, a plane ticket itinerary or a recent utility bill if you’re not paying with a credit card. Expect to be asked to produce more than one way to verify your identity. The name on the extra identification will need to match the name on your driver's license. You’re probably not going to get the best cars without a credit card. Most car rental companies probably won’t let you rent a luxury car or SUV. Many rental car companies, such as Dollar, accept debit cards but only after they perform a credit inquiry screening through a company like Equifax. If you have very poor credit, you might not get the car.  That means they are still going to check your credit score and report, and they won’t let you rent the car with a debit card if your credit score is very poor. They want to make sure they can recoup their costs if...

Article in English: If you don’t have one, don’t worry! You can make one easily with a deep saucepan (for boiling the water) and a heat-safe bowl that fits snugly on top of the saucepan (to melt the chocolate). Choose a bowl that is shallower than the saucepan.  Once you’ve added water to the saucepan and placed the bowl over it, the bottom of the bowl should not be touching the water. Leave about an inch (2.5 cm) between the water and top bowl. The fit should be snug enough that no steam will be able to escape from beneath the bowl. Chopping them coarsely first will make them melt faster, but it’s not necessary. You can just unwrap the candies and drop them in the bowl, as is. Fill the bowl up about halfway. If you have more candy than that, work in batches. Set the bowl aside. There are 72 individually wrapped candies in a standard 12 ounce bag of Kisses. If you melt all of them, you'll end up with about 1.5 cups (350 ml) of melted chocolate. Double boilers use the steam produced by the hot water to melt the chocolate in the bowl. If you need to, go ahead and double check your water level by placing the bowl on top. Once everything looks good, remove the bowl and turn on the heat. When the bowl is in place over the saucepan, the water should come to just underneath it, but not touch it. Aim for about an inch (2.5 cm) of space between them. Heat the water until it begins to simmer; you don’t need to let it come to a full boil. You’ll know it’s simmering when tiny bubbles start to rise to the surface slowly. Once the water is simmering, turn off the heat. Carefully lower the bowl of chocolate into position over the saucepan of water. You may want to wear oven mitts or use pot holders as you do so, since the lip of the saucepan will be very hot. Make sure the bowl fits tightly and doesn’t allow any steam to escape. Once the bowl is in place, the Kisses will start to melt right away. Stir the chocolate continuously with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to keep it moving while it melts. Make sure your stirring utensil is completely...

Article in English: If you don’t use filler first, you apply the dye or paint directly to the leather. This is enough to repair most cracks, but they may still be easy to spot. Filler is colorless, so it does a better job of permanently hiding bad cracks. For particularly deep or ugly cracks, add filler first so they don’t stand out as much. Smooth out the cracks to prepare them for the dye. Press the sandpaper or sanding pad down gently and rub along the leather’s grain. Make sure the leather feels smooth to the touch. Wipe up the dust with a clean microfiber cloth. Use the cloth to clear out any dust that falls into the cracks. Leftover dust prevents the leather from absorbing the coloring evenly. Leather dye comes in a variety of colors, so choose a bottle that matches your item. Then, pour a little bit of the dye on a sponge or applicator pad. Rub the cracks to spread the dye into them.  Leather dye is available online or at some craft and general stores. They are sometimes sold in kits that include sandpaper and applicator pads. Another way to color cracks is with spray paint and lacquer thinner. Get a matching color of spray paint safe for use on leather. Spray some of the paint on a cloth, then pour the lacquer on the cloth. Rub the cloth against the cracks to color them. Plug in the hairdryer and point it directly at the dyed areas. Move the heater back and forth across the cracks to prevent the leather from drying out. After you’re done, the layer of dye will be dry to the touch. If you don’t have a hairdryer, try an alternative heat source, such as a heat gun. Be careful, since heat guns can easily burn leather. Move the gun around to prevent any spots from overheating. Cracks generally require 2 to 5 treatments before they look repaired. Spread more of the dye over the leather. This time, dab some of the dye directly into the crack, then rub the area around the cracks to blend them together. Dry the dye each time with a hairdryer. Keep applying dye until the cracks are indistinguishable from the rest of the leather....

Article in English: If you encounter a coyote at close range, the most important thing to do is to stand your ground. Running away may cause the coyote to see you as prey.  Try to make yourself appear taller. Stand up, and try to get on top of something like a stump, rock, or chair. If there are small children nearby, pick them up for safekeeping. Coyotes mostly prefer to keep to themselves. If you keep your distance from the animal, they will probably slink away all by themselves. If you go up to the animal, however, they might feel frightened and become aggressive to protect themselves. Shouting, clapping, and yelling also work to deter coyotes at close range. As soon as you see one, make some noise. Teach young children to shout “Go away, coyote!” if they see one. That way, if you’re not with them, but hear “coyote,” you’ll know what is happening and can come help them. Keep your distance, but show the coyote you are something they don’t want to mess with. Wave your arms around and stamp your feet. Throw things like rocks or sticks. Hold something like a broom, walking stick, or shovel. If coyotes are common in your area, you might also want to carry pepper spray as a deterrent.

Article in English: If you enjoy physical activity or would like a reason to exercise, a sports team is an excellent way to get out the house. Furthermore, team sports encourage teamwork, discipline, and cooperation. If you excel at sports, you may even be able to earn a scholarship. If sports are not your thing, auditioning for a play or joining the drama club may be a good fit. If you have an outgoing personality, a part in the school play may be perfect for you. If you don’t see yourself onstage, there are also many behind-the-scenes roles (like stage crew or lighting design) that you might enjoy. If school really isn’t your thing, you probably aren’t going to want to spend more time there. Another option for getting out of the house is to secure some part-time employment. An after school job is wonderful for teaching you punctuality, responsibility, and time-management. Best of all, it can put some money in your pocket, which you can save up to enable you to move out when you become old enough. Maybe your life is stressful enough and you don’t want to create more work or take on additional responsibilities. That’s OK! Simply spend more time outside of the house hanging out with your friends. Go see a concert, visit a museum, or take a walk around the park. Time with friends can reduce stress and boost your mood while getting you out of the house. Another healthy way to spend time outside of your house is to visit your other family members. Do you have grandparents, cousins, or older siblings that live near-by? Take some time to go and visit them. You may want to discuss your problems with them, or maybe not. In any case, spending time with family is sure to lift your mood and help you cope.

Article in English: If you feel harassed, look the person in the eye and look disapproving. If you choose to say something, use a clear and firm voice. Don’t insult the guy or fire back an insult. Say what you need to say to feel empowered. For example, if someone harasses you on the street, say, “Do not speak to me that way” or, “Stop bothering me, that’s harassment.” Sometimes, it’s best to keep walking or not say anything. This is especially true if someone is verbally harassing you. Keep your head up without acknowledging the person or the comment. While you may feel empowered in responding back, it can lead to further remarks, teasing, or other abusive behavior. If you’re in public or you have an escape route and you’d rather not be bothered, get away from the person. Whether you respond back to their comments or you ignore them, walk away quickly. The harasser doesn’t deserve your time, attention, or company. Keep moving.  If you’re worried about the guy following you, dart into a building with people in it nearby or go somewhere quickly where you feel safe. You can also grip your keys in your hand to use as a weapon if needed. If your car has an alarm, then you could also press the panic button on your keys to set off the alarm. If you feel physically or sexually violated, move away from the guy or take his hands off of your body. You do not deserve to have your personal space invaded. Do what you can to reclaim your space and ensure your safety.  For example, if a co-worker touches you in a way that feels inappropriate to you, move away and show your disgust. Keep in mind that this could put you into an unsafe situation if you are alone. Take note of your surroundings and who is around. Try to stay close to a friend or someone else you trust. If you are alone, then you might also call a friend and put them on speaker phone as an additional measure for safety. If you feel threatened, get help. Go to a crowded place and find someone to help you or call emergency services for you. You can also find a security officer if...

Article in English: If you feel isolated, force yourself to go out with friends and family. Keep your time and mind occupied. Join clubs, make new hobbies, or set new goals for yourself. If you have nothing to do, it’s easy to obsess over jealousy. For example, watching your partner’s interactions on social media can trigger jealousy, even if it’s just another person liking his or her posts. If this describes your behavior, stop checking your partner’s social media page. If you encounter a trigger anyway, avoid over-thinking it. Just move on to something else right away. You don’t need to give your partner the cold shoulder. Just make sure you’re not chasing him or her down too much for comfort. There may be less suspicion between you if you both work out a compromise for how closely and often you interact. Work on your self-image physically, mentally, and emotionally. This will cheer you up and give you a chance to take your mind off things. The better you treat yourself, the more confident you’ll be in your relationship. Have a sincere conversation with your partner. Explain that you know these feelings are not necessarily rational, but that you still feel them. Ask your partner to consider your feelings in situations that make you jealous. Don't ask for major changes, just for some sympathy in everyday life. Your partner might get mad at this. Reassure him or her that this is the best thing for your relationship: honesty and communication. Agree on boundaries for appropriate behavior. The jealousy may take time to fade, but this will help. As long as you both stay within these boundaries, you can have confidence in the relationship.

Article in English: If you feel like your keratosis pilaris is an issue, you can talk to your doctor about treatment. You can discuss your options to see what works best for you.  Your doctor may prescribe an acid lotion, either lactic acid lotion (such as AmLactin or Lac-Hydrin), salicylic acid lotion (such as Salex lotion), retinoic acid products (such as Retin-A or Differin), urea cream (such as Carmol 10, 20, or 40), or alpha hydroxy acid lotion (such as Glytone). These acids help dissolve the hard, scaly outer layer of your skin, reducing the appearance of keratosis pilaris.  Your doctor may also prescribe a steroid cream (such as triamcinolone 0.1%), which can reduce redness. If other treatments do not work, your doctor may try an emollient-based steroid creams. Some creams in this class are Cloderm and Locoid Lipocream. You can only use these creams for about a week. Basically, this treatment uses light and photosensitizer that you apply to your skin to work on the condition; however, using it for keratosis pilaris is an off-label use, so it may not be covered by your insurance. Remember you can't actually cure this condition — you can only make it better. Though lack of vitamin A does not necessarily cause keratosis pilaris, it can cause you to exhibit similar symptoms. Ask your doctor for a blood test and about whether a vitamin A supplement can help.

Article in English: If you find out that your dog is howling during times that you are away from it, the behavior may be caused by separation anxiety. Howling caused by separation anxiety is usually accompanied by other behavior patterns, such as:  Pacing Destroying objects Urination and/or defecation Drooling If your dog has separation anxiety, you will have to help it overcome the problem. The most basic technique, counterconditioning, involves getting your dog to associate good things with separation. For dogs with moderate separation anxiety, this may be enough to end the howling behavior.  Every time you leave home, offer your dog a toy. The best choices are ones that will keep your dog occupied for some time; for instance, there are toys that can be stuffed with food for your dog to enjoy for 20-30 minutes or more. Look for these toys at pet supply stores. When you return home, take the toy away so that your dog associates it only with the times when you are gone. Repeat these steps consistently, and over time your dog’s separation anxiety (and howling behavior) should subside or disappear. You can also try crate training your dog in addition to counterconditioning in order to stop its howling. In any case, do not punish your dog because of separation anxiety. Instead of making your dog stop howling, this will only increase its anxiety. If your dog has a more severe case of separation anxiety, it may need more extensive counterconditioning and desensitization—often by starting with very short periods of separation, then gradually increasing them. Talk to a veterinarian, animal behaviorist, or certified professional dog trainer (CPDT) to discuss training techniques, possible medications, and other options. If you seek the help of a CPDT, make sure he or she has been trained in counterconditioning and desensitization techniques, as education in these areas is not required for certification. Dogs need lots of attention from their humans, especially if they have to be left alone for extended periods. Making time to play with...

Article in English: If you find that clutter keeps piling up in one area, or certain objects always end up where they shouldn’t be, such as books, electronic chargers, or mail, try using some new storage techniques.  Install shelves or use a basket to hold extra books. Store chargers in a basket to keep them collected in one place. Set up a mail station with labeled cubbies or two trays for ingoing and outgoing. Choose somewhere accessible that you will easily remember. Use a basket, drawer, or tray to keep them contained if need be. ” To maximize your space, find pieces that offer hidden storage such as benches and ottomans with inner storage areas or a chest for a coffee table.

Article in English: If you find yourself in an emergency situation where someone (or an animal) is severely injured and bleeding, approach with confidence and reassurance. Helping someone in a life-threatening situation is brave, but you must try to discover and assess the injury as quickly as you can. Have the person lie down and find out where the blood is coming from.  Tourniquets only work on limb injuries, not trauma to the head or torso. Injuries to the head and torso require applied pressure with some absorptive material in order to slow or stop bleeding, not a tourniquet. A severely injured person may also require basic life-saving measures, such as CPR (clearing airways, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, chest compressions) and shock prevention. The term "tourniquet" originated in the late 1600s from the French word "tourner," which means to turn or tighten. The majority of external bleeding injuries can be controlled by direct pressure. Therefore, grab something absorptive and preferably clean, such as a sterile gauze pad (although it may have to be your own shirt), and place it over the wound while applying significant pressure. The aim is to plug the wound and promote blood clotting, because blood will not coagulate while freely flowing. Gauze pads (or something absorptive such as terrycloth or cotton fabric) work well to prevent the blood from escaping the wound. If the gauze, towel, or article of clothing soaks through with blood, add another layer — don't take off the original make-shift bandage. Peeling off a blood-soaked bandage from the wound removes the quickly forming clotting factors and encourages bleeding to resume. However, if the wound is too severe and the bleeding cannot be stopped with applied pressure, then (and only then) should you consider a tourniquet.  If left uncontrolled, bleeding will eventually lead to shock, then death. If at all possible, use latex or similar types of gloves while in contact with the blood of another person as it will help stop the transmission of certain diseases. Even if you...

Article in English: If you frequently get styes, your eyes may be particularly sensitive to bacterial infection. Use a clean towel and some gentle shampoo, such as baby shampoo, or special eyelid scrub to gently clean your eyelids. Rinse well with warm water. If styes a frequent problem for you, your eyelids should be cleaned daily. One of the most common ways to get styes is by transferring bacteria from your hands to your eyes. Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes. Wash your towels regularly, and never share a washcloth or towel with someone who has a stye. Wearing contacts requires touching your eyes often, so make sure your hands are clean each time you put them in and take them out. The contacts themselves can also transmit bacteria, so be sure to use a cleansing solution to wash them daily.  Do not wear contacts when you are suffering from a stye.  Placing a contact lens on the eye that has a stye on it increases your risk of transmitting the infection from the stye to the underlying cornea. Don't wear your contacts longer than you're supposed to. If you have dailies (i.e. disposable contacts that are intended only for a single use), throw them away every day. If you have monthlies (reusable lenses that intended to be replaced once a month), be sure to change to fresh ones after four weeks have passed.  Don't wear your contacts overnight. Even contacts that are made for safe overnight wear might cause you problems if you are prone to getting styes.  Always follow your eye doctor’s recommendation about appropriate contact lens use.  Do not wear contact lenses in situations that are specifically approved, such as while swimming (unless you wear them under tight-fitting swim goggles). Eye liner and eye shadow applied under the rim of your eyelid can cause styes, especially if you tend to wear a lot of makeup and reapply it throughout the day. Apply makeup above your lash line, and limit the amount that you apply.  Don't go to sleep wearing makeup. Use eye makeup remover to clean it off, then splash warm water on your face to...

Article in English: If you get any grease stains on your leather chair, wipe them up right away with a clean, dry cloth. Do not add water. This could cause the grease to set in. If the stain remains after you attempt to wipe it away, sprinkle baking soda on the affected area. Baking soda can help draw out the grease. Leave on for a few hours and then gently brush it off with a rag. Ink stains are common with leather furniture. If you notice an ink stain, rubbing alcohol is probably your best course of action.  Get a cotton swab. Dab some rubbing alcohol onto it.  Wipe at the stain until it clears away.  This method may also help in removing mold or mildew from a leather chair. Discolorations are common on leather furniture, especially if your chair is a lighter color. A mixture of cream of tartar and lemon juice can be used to remove these types of stains.  Make a mixture of equal parts lemon juice and cream of tartar. How much you'll need depends on the size of the stains you're removing. Mix until you have a paste.  Apply the paste to the stained areas. Leave on for 10 minutes. Then, take a damp cloth and wipe the mixture away.

Article in English: If you have a JPEG file with the wrong file extension, such as if a typo has your file ending with “.JGP” instead of “.JPG,” this method will be useful. This method will not technically “convert” an image to a JPEG.  If your image file is not already a JPEG file, changing the file extension could break your file. See other methods if you’re hoping to turn a different image file into a JPEG file. File extensions are not case-sensitive. .JPG and .jpg are the same thing. Before you get started, make a note of the original file extension so that you can change it back if necessary. It could be on your desktop, as in the example, or in a separate folder you can access through Finder or Windows Explorer. If you’re using Windows, you can skip this step. Mac users should click once on the image, click “File,” then “Get Info.” Click the arrow next to “Name and Extension” and remove the check from “Hide Extension.” Click “Save.” Erase everything after the “.” in the file name.  On a Mac, click the image once and press ⏎ Return. Click at the end of the file extension and press Delete until you’ve erased everything after the period. In Windows, right-click the image and select “Rename.” Click at the end of the file extension and press ← Backspace to delete everything after the period. Upper or lowercase is fine. Your filename should look something like this: image.jpg. Press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return. Whether you’re using a Mac or a PC, you’ll see a warning about how changing the file extension could make your file unusable. Click “Use.jpg” or “Yes” if you want to make the change. Your file name will now end in .JPG.

Article in English: If you have a baby budgie which you have bred from a pair of budgies at home, it's important to allow the parents to do most of the caring. Part of creating the best possible environment for the chick to thrive is helping the parents look after him. The parents are the real experts, so you should enable them to do the job. You should, however, always keep a close eye on how the chick is progressing.  Try to handle any chick as little as possible in the first couple of weeks especially. The chick will be incredibly fragile, with a long neck that cannot yet properly support his head. Be very gentle and move slowly when you handle him. . The chicks are born blind and without feathers, so they are very vulnerable to environmental factors, such as light, heat, cold, and wet. They should stay in the nesting box for the first few weeks so they can develop in a protected area. Make sure that the nesting box is out of any direct light. There should be a good circulation of air, but the box should be warm and insulated from any drafts, cold or moisture.  A wooden box that has plenty of nesting material such as plain rolled oats or safe wood shavings in it makes a good nesting box. The parents will construct the nest, but having a safe, closed space like a wooden box can help them feel secure. A cardboard box is generally considered a bit too flimsy, and wood is preferable. There should be enough room for the birds to move around the box, but it should be small enough to still feel closed and secure. Place the box in the cage, but try not to interfere too much. Allow the parents to organise the nest. Having the nest attached outside the cage is the best option if possible as it allows the most space inside the cage. The chick's parents will try to keep chicks clean, but you can help by making sure the chick's feet and beak don't get clogged up with soiled bedding or anything else. Once the babies start getting feathered, you should begin cleaning out the nest box regularly. Keep an eye out for large build-ups of soiled...

Article in English: If you have a close relationship to the person, be it intimate or platonic, you may select a gift that is more personal. If you are not a close with the person, you may choose a gift that is more useful or accessible. For example:  A romantic, thoughtful, or sentimental gift would work well for a romantic partner. It can be an experience gift or even as experience, such as a fancy dinner. A best friend may appreciate a symbol of your friendship. For example, if you bonded over Harry Potter, consider a Harry Potter themed gift. If this is an acquaintance, a gift card is always a safe bet. They can use it to buy whatever they want. Think about any items the person many need in her day to day lives or a big purchase that the person needs to do but has been putting off. This could be a new kitchen appliance the person has been eyeing or a new backpack the person needs for a new year of school.  Look for practical gifts that still feel like a treat, as the gift may be out of the person’s budget or the person may not have time to get the item herself. Avoid going too far over their budget or it may be taken as an insult - consider what will be a surprise but not a shock. If you can be sneaky, try to look at the person’s online wish lists. Many online retailers, like eBay and Etsy, will allow users to make online wish lists of items that they like or want. If you can manage to get into the person’s account, you can look over their wish list and select a gift from there.  Only sneak a look at her account if you're close to them, and if you think they won't mind you looking at their account. If the person doesn't have a wish list, pay close attention to the things they mention. For example, if they say repeatedly how much they like a certain purse, take that as a hint! Maybe you have a photograph of the two of you together that you know the person likes. Frame the photograph and give it to them as a sentimental and thoughtful gift that they can display in their home. Another option is to take items that have...

Article in English: If you have a cold sore and want to stop it growing and spreading, it's very important that you resist the urge to touch it, pick it, scratch it, or rub it. Touching a sore is surefire way to exacerbate it and risk spreading to other parts of your body. If you touch the sore there is a risk of the virus spreading to your fingers, a condition known as herpes whitlow.  It is also possible for your eyes to become infected, potentially leading to scarring, injury and problems with your vision. A cold sore can spread to other areas of your skin. If you have eczema this is a particular risk, and can become a serious medical problem. To try and stop a cold sore from growing, it can be beneficial to cover it in some way that protects it from irritants but doesn't encourage further infection. Cold sore patches containing hydrocolloid gel can be used to cover and protect the sore. They are an effective way to treat skin wounds, allowing them to heal while under the protection of the patch. Alternatively, you can gently apply petroleum jelly over the sore to offer it some protection. If you do this be sure that you wash your hands thoroughly first. As well as not touching it, you need to try and make sure no other irritants come into contact with the area where you have the sores. For some people sunlight can trigger outbreaks of cold sores.

Article in English: If you have a compass, the needle will point directly to magnetic north. Otherwise finding true north should be good enough for this method. Put the steel object down, so its longest dimension is laid out north-to-south. This method will not work well for small objects or steel balls that cannot be arranged north-south. Tape the steel down or use a clamp or vise to hold it in place. Bash the end of the steel object repeatedly. The steel will gradually become a weak magnet and get slightly stronger each time you strike it. Test this by holding a paper clip next to the steel periodically. Some types of steel cannot be magnetized at home. Try a different steel object if you notice no magnetic effect at all, or switch to iron. The added energy from striking the metal allows the atomic-level magnetic domains to rearrange themselves in a magnetic field. Since the planet's iron core produces its own magnetic field, these miniature magnets rearrange themselves to point north. Once enough jostling has occurred, all these miniature magnets pointed in the same direction creates a magnetic effect strong enough for us to notice.

Article in English: If you have a depressed mood, such as feelings of sadness, and you have lost interest or pleasure in things that were previously pleasurable, you may be depressed. These symptoms should be present most of the day and nearly every day for at least 2 weeks.  These symptoms may last for 2 weeks or more and they may stop and come back again. These are called “recurrent episodes.” In this case, the symptoms are more than just a “bad day.”  They are severe changes in mood that affect the way someone functions socially or at their job. You may have stopped going to school or showing up for work. Similarly, these feelings might make you lose interest in some of your favorite hobbies or activities, like playing sports, doing crafts, or visiting with friends.
