Article in English: Try not to use body wash or hand soap; they are too harsh and will dry your skin out. You also don't want to wash your face too often, even if it is very oily. This will also cause your skin to dry out. When your skin becomes too dry, it will start producing extra oils to make up for it. Soak a cotton ball with some toner, and sweep it across your face, focusing on the nose, forehead, chin, and cheeks. Avoid the sensitive area around your eyes. Follow up with some moisturizer. If you have oily skin, try to find a light-weight or gel-based moisturizer.  The toner will help restore your skin's natural pH. It will also help tighten your pores. Moisturizer will hydrate your skin. It will make it appear smoother and less flaky. This doesn't mean that you have to avoid the sun. Instead, try wearing sunscreen each time you go out. If you don't like wearing sunscreen on your face, try using some foundation or moisturizer that has SPF 15. Everyone gets them at some point in their lives. Some people get them sooner than others. If you find yourself burdened with acne, there are a few things you can do to make it less severe:  Try not to pick or pop your pimples. This will cause them to bleed, and you may get scars. Wash your face twice a day. This will help get rid of acne-causing bacteria. If you wear makeup, be sure to wash it off before you go to bed. Buy some pimple cream from the drug store. Keep in mind that these creams may take some time to work. Don't use more than directed; this won't make the pimples disappear faster. Ask your parents if you can see a dermatologist if you have severe acne. Most pimple creams will do the job, but some people might need something stronger. A dermatologist may help you find the right product, or give you a prescription. Consider covering some pimples up with concealer. Everyone gets pimples, but if they really lower your confidence, you can dab on a little concealer over them to make them less noticeable.

Article in English: Try not to worry, but you may need medical treatment if your spotting happens often or occurs with other symptoms. Go see your doctor to find out what may be causing your spotting. Then, ask your doctor if you need to undergo treatment. Your doctor may confirm that your bleeding is normal or no cause for concern. However, you need to get an official diagnosis to be sure because some causes of abnormal bleeding can be very serious. Let your doctor do a series of diagnostic tests that will be painless but may cause discomfort. Then, your doctor will make a formal diagnosis so you get treatment if you need it. Your doctor will likely do 1 or more of the following tests:  A pelvic exam to look for signs of an infection, fibroids, abnormal growths, or cancer. Vaginal cultures to check for abnormal cells or an infection. Simple, painless blood tests to check for an infection or a hormone imbalance. Imaging tests to look for a fibroid, abnormal growths, or a problem with your reproductive system. An STD test to rule out these types of infections. You likely don't need to worry, but it's best to check with your doctor. Sometimes spotting can mean that something is wrong, but your doctor can make sure that everything is okay. Get a same day appointment with your doctor or visit the emergency room to get prompt treatment. Try not to worry because it's likely that nothing is wrong. However, it's important to make sure you and your baby are okay. After menopause, you shouldn't experience any vaginal bleeding. If you do, it's possible that something is wrong. Visit your doctor to find out the cause of your spotting so you can get treatment if you need it. For instance, it's possible that you could have a hormonal imbalance or signs of cancer. However, it's also possible that your body is just having 1 last ovulation, which may not be a cause for concern.

Article in English: Try playing music that involves a variety of instruments like classical or techno music to induce chills. Somber music is also known to give people chills. You can also try playing your friend or partner’s favorite song to give them the chills. If you know of a song that has a story that resonates with a friend or partner’s current life situation, playing this song may give them the chills as well. For example, if there is a song about rediscovering love after a break up and you have a friend going through a similar situation, then playing this song may give them the chills. Crisp sounds like a pen writing on a piece of paper, fire crackling, vegetables being cut, or paper crumpling can give people chills. Play a recording of one of these sounds or make the sounds yourself to give someone the chills.  Additionally, sounds like running water, ocean waves, and white noise can also give someone the chills. Rubbing two different textures together can also give someone chills, like nails on a chalkboard. Soft or slow speech patterns can also give someone the chills. Think of a massage therapist’s voice or the voice of a practitioner doing guided meditation. You can also try whispering in someone’s ear to induce chills. For example, whispering in a low voice, "I am watching you" or, "I am right behind you" could give someone the chills.

Article in English: Try saying yes to almost any invitation that comes your way to practice building relationships with new people. Doing this can make it seem like you're open to friendship and can help the new group of friends take you in as one of their own. Spending time with the new group can let them know you're interested in being a part of their activities as well. Making friends takes practice, just like playing the piano, scoring a touchdown, or anything else. You wouldn’t show up at a recital without practicing first! Similarly, you can start practicing for your social life now. Giving compliments can help break the ice. While superficial compliments never hurt, the more specific you can get, the better. Detailed compliments inspire conversation and help build connections.  Instead of saying, “I like your hair,” offer more detail: “You did an awesome job curling your hair. What kind of curling iron did you use?” Rather than saying, “I liked what you said in class,” go deeper: “I had no idea Frankenstein was a novel. When did you read it?” Asking questions shows others that you care about them, and many people love talking about themselves! Ask about movies, sports, favorite stores, or dream vacations.  Use follow-up questions to keep conversation flowing. You can start by asking, “Have you seen the new Iron Man?” And follow up with: “have you read the comics?” After asking questions, make sure to listen closely and don’t interrupt. Avoid listing off facts about yourself. Instead, share a funny or suspenseful story from your past that will engage the group and stick in their memories!  If you want them to know that you used to live in Florida and that things were different there, tell them a funny story about a crocodile you once saw on your friend’s driveway! But be careful not to come across as a show-off. Avoid bragging or trying to hog the spotlight. Remember to trade off on talking so that everyone gets a chance to participate in the conversation. Don’t act desperate, as that can repulse others. It takes time to...

Article in English: Try sleeping in total darkness for all but three nights of your cycle. During those three nights, have a light on in the adjoining room to mimic moonlight. According to some, these three nights of light then trigger ovulation, allowing your body to get onto a regular menstrual cycle. Some women have found this to be very effective, but there is no research other than personal stories to support it. It is theorized that the pheromones their bodies release can affect your cycle and trigger your body to menstruate earlier or later. Groups of women living together for months at a time may overlap on their cycles if their cycles last for a similar number of days. Scientific studies have partially debunked this claim, but many women still swear by it. Stress disrupts the hormonal activity that initiates and sustains your menstrual cycle. Identify the source of the stress and from there you can reduce stress.

Durma com as luzes ligadas por três noites para deixar o ciclo regular. Passe mais tempo com mulheres que estão menstruadas. Reduza o estresse para manter um equilíbrio emocional positivo.


Article in English: Try the calculators at the US National Weather Service, freemathhelp.com, or onlineconversion.com. All of these calculators use the new wind chill formula adopted by the US and other countries in 2001. If you use a different calculator, try to find one that uses this formula; the old formula can give misleading results. Both of these pieces of information are typically available from weather forecasts on websites, television and radio stations, and newspapers. Unless the forecast specifies wind speed at ground level, multiply the speed by 0.75 to get a more accurate estimate of the wind speed at the height of a human face. This estimate is based on the standard wind speed measurement height of 33 ft (10 m), and typical atmospheric conditions. Using a wind speed measured at a height of 5 ft (1.5 m) is more accurate, but not usually available without your own anemometer. Make sure you select the units (such as mph or ºC) that the measurements are written in. Click "OK" or a similar button, and you should see the new apparent wind chill temperature.

Article in English: Try the following settings to have a well varied experience and make sure you get a chance to use all the different weapons and vehicles.  Select the Slayer game type. Set first and second weapons to random. Have shields on. Include random tanks, turrets, and light vehicles. Include Overshield and Active Camo power-ups on the map too. The exact number doesn't matter, but set it high enough so that you will be playing a single game for an hour or two. This may seem like a long time, but will go quickly. Compare your kill count and death count to your friends. If you are clearly at the bottom of the pile, there is a good chance you are a noob. Some other factors to consider include:  How good are your friends? If they are Halo experts, you shouldn't feel too bad if you can't keep up. If this was their first time playing, you should be able to clean house—unless you are a noob. Were you constantly confused about your location on the map? Understanding and being able to instinctively navigate the main maps is one of the basic skills non-noobs develop. Did you accidentally kill yourself often, either with explosives or by falling off the map? Did you die quickly, or were you able to respond to an attack and put up a fight? Could you make decent use of any weapons you picked up? Seasoned Halo players should especially be skilled at the assault rifle, the battle rifle, the shotgun, the sniper rifle, and both frag and plasma grenades. When you got in a vehicle, were you quickly killed or kicked off? When you picked up a power-up, did you make good use of it? Or did it not seriously impact your effectiveness? " For many Halo players, a noob is not just one who is unskilled at the game. The term is also used to describe players who use cheap but often ineffective tactics that are usually frowned upon. Check for these habits and consider rethinking your strategies to avoid being labeled a noob.  Did you use the combination of a SMG and a charged plasma pistol? Did you camp, staying in one spot for two or more minutes...

Article in English: Try to avoid lecturing to your students. They often have short attention spans and need a little help to remain in the present teaching moment. Encourage their input when you are teaching. This will help them participate more in their own education and will make them more confident about speaking up in class. Try to participate in conversations with your students even when you are not specifically teaching them. Allowing students to get to know you and showing them that you want to get to know them too makes them feel more comfortable in your class. Try to make your students think as much as possible. Ask them questions about their life; ask them questions about the world around them; ask them questions about the things you read in class. The more questions you ask, the more they'll be forced to think about the topic and come up with their own answers. Different students learn in different ways. It's important to acknowledge this and to allow for a certain amount of flexibility in your daily schedule. If students are clearly interested in a certain topic, spend a little more time on it than you had initially planned. If an activity you planned isn't going over well, switch to something else. Always try to choose the option that keeps the students as engaged as possible. Unplanned active learning is better than forcing students into an activity that isn't holding their interest. Students will be more engaged on a daily basis if they feel valued and rewarded. Make it a point to prominently display some of their artwork or other projects in your classroom so that they know you value what they do. This will help them feel proud of their accomplishments and want to continue the level of work that helped them get there. Each subject is different and requires different methods of teaching. The longer you teach 4th grade, the more you'll figure out what works for you. But here are a couple of tips dealing with various subjects:  English. 4th grade English involves a lot of vocabulary and spelling practice, in...

Article in English: Try to be as busy as possible during the day and night. Keep your mind focused on activities that do not stimulate your sexual fantasies. This will vary in each person. Some examples of positive or distracting activities you can try are: playing video games, watching a movie (non-sexual), going for a walk, going window shopping, playing with a pet, reading a book, playing an instrument, creating art (painting, coloring, sculpting), and writing in a journal. Our obligations can help us focus on what is necessary (money, food, shelter, education, etc) rather than what is not essential for daily life (masturbation). Having less free-time overall can decrease your desire and actual ability to masturbate because it becomes an impractical part of your day. If you don't have time for it, you might not do it.  Make a list of the things you need to complete each day. This list might include things like: complete work or school projects, go shopping, clean bedroom, pay bills, practice the guitar, and exercise. Keep this list handy. When you have the urge to masturbate, look at your list and tell yourself, “I don’t have time to masturbate right now. I need to get all of this done today.” Get a job if you are old enough. A job is a good distraction and can help you structure your schedule. Not to mention you'll have money to spend on activities that can distract and entertain you! Sometimes your environment (being home alone, or in your bedroom) can increase your desire to masturbate. Since masturbation in public is most likely inappropriate and illegal, changing your environment may help to reduce your urge to masturbate.  If you have the urge to masturbate, take a walk outside or go for a drive. If you are in public it may prevent you from masturbating. Additionally, it can take your mind off of your desire to masturbate. Ask a friend to hang out or spend time with your family. It will likely limit your ability to masturbate if you are in front of other people. Exercise may help reduce sexual desires. If you masturbate...

Article in English: Try to demonstrate how you prefer to be kissed. Pay attention to what your partner may be trying to show you about their preferences. Remember, a good first kiss is a team effort. Hands, hair, waist, back, and other areas are parts you might like to touch and have touched while you kiss. Your partner might guide you to touch them in places they’d enjoy. If you’re comfortable doing so, follow their lead. Although this might feel awkward, the moment after is a good time to gauge your partner’s feelings about the kiss. Look at them, and see if they look like they enjoyed it. If you can’t tell from simply looking, you can talk about it. Try starting with:  “I really like kissing you.” “You’re a good kisser.” “I liked when you…” “That was nice.”

Article in English: Try to drape them over concrete, furniture, plants and even soil so that you can pick up paint chips or rust at the end of the preparation process by folding up the cloth or plastic sheet. Brushing and sanding expels fine dust, dirt and harmful materials in the air. Stay a few feet from the rails when using the washer to avoid damaging the rails. Depending upon the type of porch railing you own, specifically plastic or metal, you will use a slightly different process.  For metal railings, start by using a wire brush to remove rust over all the railing's surfaces. If you have ornate metal railings or hard to remove rust, find a wire brush attachment for your power drill and apply it to your railings.     For wooden railings, use a wire brush and metal scraper to remove paint from the surface. Try to work with the grain of the wood rather than against it to avoid damaging the surface grain.     For either surface, place a large shop vacuum nearby to suck up falling debris and improve the ease of cleanup.    80 grit sandpaper is good for either metal or wood railings. Make sure to get all surfaces of the railings while scuff sanding. Rub the surface of the railings with tack cloth to remove tiny bits of debris. Ask a clerk at the hardware store to suggest a good wood caulk for exterior use. After applying caulk with a drip-free gun, use a moist towel to smooth the caulk into the gaps. Wooden railings that have been improperly painted or painted long ago may be loose and have gaps between the spindles and railings. These gaps allow moisture to leak into the wood, ruin the paint job and degrade the wood.    Allow the caulk to dry for at least 24 hours, or according to package directions, before continuing. You can use a polyurethane caulk to connect wooden railings to concrete. Be careful to use a light squeeze because it is harder to remove. Smooth it over with a moist towel mixed with a small amount of dish soap.

Article in English: Try to get the embroidered or crocheted kind with the scalloped or zigzag edge. The fancy edge will become the fancy points of your crown. Avoid getting thin, fabric lace or ruffled lace; those are not stable enough to make princess crowns. Don't worry if the lace is not the right color. Choose the lace for the shape. You can always paint it. Because lace trim is so short, it usually shorts better as a mini crown. You can try making it as a regular crown; to do this, cut the lace a little bit longer than the circumference of your head. If your crown is not the right color, you can always paint it using acrylic paint or spray paint. Place the crown down onto a sheet of paper, then paint it. Once the paint dries, flip the crown over, and paint the other side. Most acrylic paints and spray paints will be dry to the touch in 20 minutes, but some may require up to two hours. Refer to the label for more specific drying times.  If you are using acrylic paint, dab it on using paint brushes or foam brushes. Be sure to get the paint into all of the nooks and crannies. If you are using spray paint, be sure to paint outside or in a well-ventilated area. This will help your crown keep its shape. Cover one side with Mod Podge or fabric stiffener and wait for it to dry. Then, flip the crown over, and cover the other side. Allow the Mod Podge or fabric stiffener to dry completely before moving on. You can decorate the lace crown however you want, but you might want to keep the lace's original pattern/design as a guideline. Here are some decorating ideas:  Outline the crown with glitter. You can draw on the crown using white school glue, and then shake glitter over the glue. You can also use glitter glue instead. Attach rhinestones to the crown using hot glue or fabric glue. Glue a line of tiny rhinestones or pearls all along the bottom edge of the crown. Overlap the ends by at least ½ inch (1.27 centimeters), or until the first point on either side are aligned. Secure them with a line of glue. You can use hot glue or fabric...

Article in English: Try to have your last meal or snack at least two hours before bedtime. Though it may be tempting to snack late at night, doing so will disrupt your sleep as your body will be attempting to digest what you’ve consumed. If you are extremely hungry or don’t want to give up your late night grazing all together, choose light, healthy foods. For example, eating fresh fruit will satisfy you without taking too much energy to digest. A hot drink can do wonders in relaxing your body and mind and preparing for a good night’s sleep. Try drinking warm milk or a cup of herbal tea.  Avoid alcohol and caffeine, both of which will disrupt your sleep cycle and also likely make you groggy in the morning. Certain herbal teas, such as chamomile and valerian, have been shown to be great relaxants so if you struggle to unwind at night, try incorporating some of these into your nighttime ritual. Don’t do anything stressful (such as homework or work-related things) at least an hour or so before bedtime. Stress leads to impaired sleep.  If possible, get all of your chores done during the day. If you head to bed in a calm, relaxed state, you’re more likely to sleep better and wake up in the same calm mood. Being plagued by tasks you need to do or recurring problems is going to make it more difficult to wake up in a good mood. Reading, crafts (such as drawing or knitting), or just chatting with your friends or family are all great ways to unwind in the evening. Watching TV or a movie can also be a good idea as long as it’s done relatively early in the evening. Try to cut down on the chores that may stress you out by doing them ahead of time. That way you won’t go to sleep and wake up dreading the tasks ahead of you as you’ll have already gotten them out of the way.  For example, get in the habit of picking out your work clothes and setting them out the night before. If you usually throw a lunch together before heading to the office or school, try to prepare it the night before so you can just grab it on your way out. Such practices will...

Article in English: Try to ignore your instincts and give your shot a little more power than you're used to. Many carnivals overinflate the basketballs to make them bouncier, use oval-shaped hoops, and place the hoop a few feet higher and further back than the normal 3-pointer distance to make the game even more difficult.  Since most carnival basketball hoops only have a 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) margin of error, the only way to win is to gauge the distance and aim with perfect accuracy.  To counteract the bounciness of the balls, aim only for the net and avoid any shots that need to bounce off the rim in order to land in. Carnivals also use sloped tarps and block off the base of the hoop so no one can stand directly under it and make the height difference obvious. Go for accuracy over force to knock down all of the bottles. Carnivals often use heavier or bottom-weighted bottles that are harder to knock down, but by hitting the center bottle on the bottom, you can take out all of them.  If there’s an even number of bottles on the bottom row, go for the space between the 2 middle bottles. Make sure to give your throw a lot of force.  If you’re curious about how the bottles are weighted, ask the carnival employee if you can hold one of the bottles before you play. If they refuse, you can still play with the same tactics. Some carnival employees actually let the air out of the balloons, making them much harder to pop with the dart. Look over the board of balloons and identify the balloons with with the most air. These will be the thinnest and, therefore, the easiest to pop.  There’s no pattern to where these balloons are placed, so scope out the board before you play. However, the good prize tags are generally placed in balloons on the outer edges, so try aiming for several of those.  Try to hit the balloons at a downwards 45 degree angle for the best chance at popping them. Hitting the center of the base is key to winning this game. Grip the mallet with both hands as far down the handle as you can, then hold it up with your arms fully...

Article in English: Try to limit how much fat you eat in your diet because it’s difficult to digest and can cause you to gain weight, which can also cause stomach problems. When you choose meats, avoid tough meats and those with casings like hotdogs or sausages; instead, opt for poultry, fish, or tofu. Lower your fat intake by replacing red meat with poultry and fish, opting for low-fat or non-fat dairy, and cooking with olive oil instead of butter. Yogurt contains beneficial bacteria in the form of probiotics and is high in calcium, which can offset the effects of acid-forming foods. Also, try other fermented foods, such as kimchi, sauerkraut, natto, or kefir. If you're lactose intolerant, try replacing milk with yogurt. Many people who cannot digest milk deal with yogurt better. Fruits and vegetables provide essential fiber to assist with digestion and increase the health of good bacteria in the gut. However, if you have diverticulitis stay away from berries with small seeds like strawberries, corn, and small seeds and nuts – these can aggravate the intestine.  Bananas are a great, soft fruit that also provide a lot of fiber. Ginger is an excellent root to add for flavor, and is also known to calm the stomach. These are both very acidic and high in caffeine, which can contribute to heartburn and stomach upset. Caffeine can also increase your stress levels, which may increase risk of other health issues such as ulcers. Try red tea (rooibos) instead, which is high in antioxidants, low acid-forming, and has no caffeine. The phosphoric acid and sugar feed unhealthy bacteria populations in your gut. Sugary foods can also result in diarrhea and cause weight gain. Stay away from diet sodas, as well. The carbonation can worsen gas, and many diet beverages contain artificial sweeteners. Alcohol can contribute to a number of stomach problems, including ulcers, heartburn, diarrhea, and nausea. Drinking alcohol can also worsen nutritional disorders. If you don't drink, don't start. If you do, keep it to a minimum: 1 alcoholic beverage per...

Article in English: Try to plan your phone date so that you have at least an hour beforehand to relax and get in the right mindset. If your phone date starts minutes after you’ve rushed in the door from a stressful day at school or work, you will likely find it difficult to get in the mood. In addition, be sure to give yourself enough time for the call: aim for double what you think you’ll need. If you think you’ll need one hour, plan for two! It can be difficult to relax if you’re stressed out about doing the laundry, washing the dishes, or working on that report that’s due in a few days. Give yourself some time before your phone date to work on the things that are stressing you out.  Finishing some chores before your phone date starts can help you feel as though you’ve earned the break, making it easier to relax and enjoy the call.  If you know you’ll be exhausted at the end of the day it might not be wise to try to do your chores before your phone date. In this case, set aside time before your chores for your romantic encounter. Try to figure out exactly what it is about phone sex that you find difficult to deal with. Maybe you don’t feel sexy or you hate the sound of your voice. Or maybe you have trouble articulating your desires. Whatever it is that’s holding you back from enjoying phone sex, it’s likely holding you back in other parts of your life too, so it's worthwhile to address it!  Releasing inhibitions has a lot to do with self confidence. To  build your self confidence, try exercising regularly and keeping a journal in which you write at least 5 good things about yourself each day. If you really struggle with finding yourself attractive and imagining that your partner could have desire for you, try focusing on what you find attractive in your partner. What arouses you about him/her? Instead of focusing on the ways in which you feel unattractive, focus on the ways in which your partner turns you on. If you’re relatively new to phone sex, you might doubt whether you have the ability to be a good partner. You might...

Article in English: Try to put yourself in your friend’s shoes, and let your friend know that you understand their emotions. Say something like, “That sounds so hurtful,” or, “You must feel really disappointed.” Don’t say “I know how you feel” to someone who’s upset, since that can seem dismissive. Show your empathy by naming specific emotions instead. Validate your friend’s emotions to help them feel less alone. Say something like, “It’s okay to be angry about this,” or, “Anyone in your shoes would feel betrayed right now.” If you don’t know how to help your friend, ask. Tell them that you want them to feel better and you’re willing to do whatever they need. Say something like, “What do you need from me right now?” or “How can I help?” Some people don’t like asking others for favors or support. If your friend is like this, take the initiative so they don’t have to ask. Offer to get together again soon, or plan an activity that might help cheer them up. For instance, say, “I’ll call you when I get home tonight, OK?” or “Do you want to meet up for lunch tomorrow?” If your friend isn’t talking much, don’t feel pressured to fill in the silences, especially if nothing you say will make the situation better. Just sitting quietly with your friend will help them feel supported. Tell your friend it’s OK to cry if they need to. Sometimes crying is more cathartic than talking.

You can do this by wiping your brush on the edge of the paint can as you are finishing up, and then wipe the brush on a rag or paper towel to remove even more paint. Once the bristles are dry, you can store your brushes away in their original containers. Make sure the bristles are dry first; if you store damp brushes, they could grow mold or mildew.

Summary in Portuguese:

Passe o pincel em um paninho ou uma toalha de papel para remover o máximo possível de tinta. Deixe as cerdas secarem naturalmente.


Article in English: Try to remove the flowers just as they begin to wilt or fade as doing this prevents them from growing seed pods. To deadhead an Iris bloom, either use your fingers or take a clean sharp pair of scissors and snip or pinch off the single bloom just behind the flowerhead. It’s important to remove not only the shriveled petals but also the green swollen sheath it emerges from, as this is the part that will eventually develop into a seedhead. Try to avoid accidentally removing any remaining flowers as there may be other blooms on the stem yet to open. Try to get into the habit of checking you plant twice a week or so during the flowering season. Some varieties of Iris (such as African Iris) have blooms which last only for one day but the plant will quickly grow new ones. Some Iris varieties (such as the bearded Iris) will often flower twice, once in early summer and once in late summer. Once all the blooms on a flower stem are gone and you don’t expect any more, you can then remove the flower stem from the plant. Removing the flower stem helps prevent rot. To do this:  Take a sharp blade such as a pair of garden sheers. The stem will be quite woody in many iris varieties. Snip the stem off at the base near the ground about an inch above the rhizome. This stem can then be composted. It’s very important to leave the foliage on the plant after the flowering ends, so don’t be tempted to cut the plant back just yet. The Iris will use the foliage to draw energy into its roots to help it survive the winter. Leave the foliage on the plant until it withers away of its own accord.  It’s okay to trim off any brown tips but leave as much healthy green growth as possible. In the fall, once the foliage is withering away, you can cut back the foliage to about 6 inches (15.2 cm) from the ground.

Article in English: Try to see the joy in the world. Laugh with others, but not at them. Everyone appreciates someone who is jolly and jovial. Smiling and laughing a lot is a huge part of having a good personality. A lot of people seem like they have a good personality until you see them in an emergency or tense situation. Then they lose their cool. Don’t be this person! If you are in a tense situation, try to remain relaxed and see what you can do to resolve the situation. For example, let’s say your car breaks down on the highway and you’re going to be late to work. Don’t start yelling and screaming – that’s not going to fix anything. Keep your mind clear and start developing a plan to solve the problem. One important part of having a good personality is being willing to change your worldview. Listen to others and always be willing to change your mind. Don’t pass judgment on other people just because they act in a different way than you do. Keeping an open mind will allow you to make many new friends and probably live a much more interesting life. There’s no need to shut off parts of the world. Getting out of your comfort zone and experiencing new things can help you become more open-minded and develop new beliefs and habits. You could be the most talented, extraordinary person in the world, but if you don’t have any modesty than you probably won’t have a good personality. Always keep yourself level and balanced. Nobody likes a big ego.

Article in English: Try to stay as positive as you can going into and through your jail experience. The fact is that being in jail is a miserable time, but it’ll be more miserable if you put yourself in a poor frame of mind.  Tell yourself you’re going to be okay. Continually remind yourself of your expected release time. Think about how this will be a great story to tell to kids, grand kids, and friends. Regardless of whether you’ll be staying in jail the night as a result of a pre-decided court decision or if you’re in jail because you were pulled over for driving drunk in the middle of the night, you need to be in contact with your lawyer or advocate before you enter jail. Having a lawyer or someone else advocating for you will help make sure that your release in the morning (or whenever) will go as smooth as possible. A lawyer or an advocate working on your behalf will also make sure you’re not somehow forgotten and spend more time in the slammer than you need. Do whatever the correction officers tell you to do, as long as they’re not asking you to do something that puts you in harm or violates your safety. When you do comply, comply quickly, politely, and don’t show attitude. If they are trying to make you comply, and are rude to you, deal with it and suck it up.  If you don’t comply, they’ll use physical force, and you may get hurt. It’s not worth taking a stand on something trivial or out of principle. The only time you should not comply is when your rights are being directly violated, as in the case of rape or abuse. If you don’t comply with a lawful order or request, you might face additional charges. If you’re going to jail unexpectedly, you want to be able to contact someone who can bail you out. This is a little trickier than you might think. Oftentimes, cell phones can’t receive collect calls. You probably won’t remember most people’s home numbers. Collect calls, in some areas, now require people to set up an account with a prepaid amount in order to accept the call. Therefore, you need to be tricky yourself. ...

Article in English: Try to use 99% rubbing alcohol instead of the regular 70%, as it will kill more germs. This will give the hand sanitizer that gel-like texture. It will also take away some of the harshness of the rubbing alcohol and make it less drying by moisturizing your hands. You can use any scent you'd like, but the following scents have antimicrobial properties: cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint, rosemary, thyme, or thieves. There should be no lumps or clumps. Try to use a bottle with a pump or squeeze top. Take the cap off and insert the funnel. Pour the mixture through the funnel and into the bottle. Use the spatula to scrape everything out of the bowl. Your scented hand sanitizer is now ready to use. The ingredients may settle over time. If this happens, simply give the bottle another shake.

Article in English: Try to wait until there is a break in the class discussion or a transition between activities. Raise your hand or approach the teacher’s desk and ask to visit the restroom. Do this as soon as you suspect that your period is starting so you can avoid any staining. You may need to indicate that you can't wait, as some schools limit bathroom breaks. You might say something general, such as "Excuse me, I know that we're going over important material right now, but I need to go to the restroom and it's urgent." Provide additional details if your teacher refuses your first bathroom break request. Approach your teacher’s desk or wait until the end of class to keep this conversation private.  You could explain, “I’ve started my period and I need to visit the restroom to take care of it.” For added protection, you can request, “Please keep this private.” They should do this anyway, but it might give you extra peace of mind to state it directly. Wrap a sweater or jacket around your waist, if you have one. If not, your teacher might let you borrow one. Know that just because you started your period does not mean that you will stain your clothes. Take a number of deep breaths as you walk to the restroom. Do a quick back stretch in the restroom. Smile. Remind yourself that women have periods and it is completely normal. The adults around you have all dealt with periods before, in one fashion or another. They are used to these situations and will not feel weird or embarrassed about talking about your period with you.

Article in English: Try to walk outside at least three times a week. Or, do an exercise that is safe and comfortable for you. You can ask your doctor to recommend a proper exercise regimen. Exercise will improve your blood flow and nourish damaged nerves. Walking reduces your overall blood sugar levels and makes diabetes easier to control. If you successfully control your diabetes, your neuropathy will lessen. If you struggle with setting aside time to exercise, remember that you can take small steps to be active. For example, you can clean up the house, play with the dog, or hand wash your car. All of these will get your blood flowing. Fill a small container or tub with warm water and add 1/4 cup of Epsom salt for each cup of water. Make sure the water isn't over 100 degrees. Set your feet in the container or tub so that the water covers them. The warmth of the water can relax you and distract from the pain in your feet. And, Epsom salts contain magnesium which can relax your muscles. If you have an infection or swelling, ask your doctor before soaking in Epsom salts. Alcohol can be toxic to your nerves, especially if they are already damaged. You should limit yourself to four drinks spaced over the course of a week. Some forms of neuropathy are actually caused by alcoholism, so you should eliminate alcohol if you have any neuropathy. Stopping drinking can relieve your symptoms and prevent more damage. If alcoholism runs in your family, you may not want to drink at all. Consider giving alcohol up entirely to stay safe and healthy. This natural oil found in a wildflower is available in pill form. Ask your doctor to recommend a specific dose of the supplement evening primrose oil. Studies have shown that the fatty acids it contains can improve symptoms of neuropathy.

Article in English: Try using a deep conditioning mask on your hair a week or 2 before bleaching it, conditioning it several times. This will help strengthen and rejuvenate your hair, getting it ready for the bleaching process. Do the bleaching in a place that will be easy to clean up and wipe down, like a bathroom or kitchen. Wear clothing that you don't mind getting ruined and a towel around your shoulders. Wear gloves so that the bleach won't damage your hands. It's best to use a hairdresser's cape, if you have one. You can find them at local beauty stores or online. Alternatively, you can use a white towel or a towel you don't mind getting bleach on. Purchase a bleach kit for your hair, which will most likely also require a developer. Mix the bleach and developer together in a bowl, reading the instructions carefully to determine the exact measurements. A 20- or 30-volume developer will be best for your hair. Tie up the top layer of your hair using a hair tie or plastic clip so that you can easily reach the bottom layer. If you have really thick hair, you can separate the bottom layer of hair into 2 or 3 additional sections using plastic hair clips. Make sure that you only use plastic clips when you are bleaching your hair. Use an applicator brush to apply the mixed bleach to 1 inch (2.5 cm) sections of your hair, until the bleach is evenly distributed. The bleach kit should provide you with the best strategy for bleaching your hair, but make sure you apply bleach to your roots last.  If you have very thick hair, then you may need to divide your hair into smaller sections. Your roots heat up the fastest, so if you bleach your roots first they will turn lighter than the rest of your hair. Wear gloves over your hands and a towel around your neck to keep the bleach from damaging your hands or clothing. Use a shower cap to keep the bleach settled on top of your hair, allowing the heat from your head to remain trapped in the cap. Most bleaches will stay on your hair for 20-30 minutes, but keep checking your hair to see how the...

Article in English: Try using coconut water, sparkling water, or green tea. If you are using green tea, make sure that it is cold before you add the lime slices to it. Cut 1 lemon and 3 limes into thin slices, and put them into a large pitcher. Pour cold water over the citrus slices, and leave the pitcher in the fridge for at least 10 minutes to chill. Serve the lemon-lime water with some ice cubes. Peel and cut a 2 inch (5.08 centimeters) piece of ginger into thin slices. Add the ginger to 2 quarts (1.89 liters) of cold water. Cut 2 limes into thin slices and add them to the water. Stir the water with a long spoon, and leave it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving it. Add half of a thinly-sliced lime, 6 mint leaves, and 5 cucumber slices into a 32-ounce (0.95 liter) mason jar. Fill the jar with water, close it, and leave it in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. Serve the water cold in a glass. Combine 1 cup (200 grams) sliced strawberries, 1 cup (150 grams) sliced cucumber, 2 sliced limes, and ¼ cup (5 grams) fresh mint leaves in a 2-quart (1.9 liter) pitcher. Fill the pitcher with water and add some ice cubes. Let it chill for 10 minutes in the fridge before serving. Cut 1 lemon, 1 lime, and 1 cucumber into thin slices and add them to a large pitcher. Add 10 to 15 mint leaves and 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger to the pitcher. Fill the pitcher with 2 quarts (1.89 liters) of cold water. Stir everything together and allow the water to chill in the fridge for a few hours before serving. The next time you pour yourself a glass of water, add a lime juice ice cube to it. As the ice cube melts, it will flavor the water. If the water is too sour for you, you could add a little bit of sugar or honey. Remember that this is supposed to be water and not a fancy limeade.

Article in English: Turkish Angoras are active cats who love to be around others. They don’t like to entertain themselves and expect their owners to interact with them often. They get bored easily if they don’t get as much attention as they want. They like to take charge and rule everyone around them.  Turkish Angoras usually do well with families and other pets. This breed will take the alpha role when around other cats and dogs. The breed does well with visitors. Like the closely-related Turkish Van, many Turkish Angoras enjoy water more than the average cat. A Turkish Angora may enjoy playing in water or taking an occasional swim, and might even try to join you in the shower or bath! Turkish Angoras love to dance around and play with toys. They have a strong hunting instinct, so they will pounce on fake mice and birds, and even their owner’s feet. They like to run around, especially if they are chasing toys. Turkish Angoras also love to climb.

Article in English: Turkish Vans are known for their love of water. Pay close attention to the cat when it is around water, and take note of whether or not it seems interested by water sources or attempts to submerge itself in them. You should never, however, force any cat to enter a body of water. Turkish Vans are extremely intelligent. They thrive when presented with challenging tricks, games, and puzzles. Try giving the cat a puzzle game and see how quickly it can solve it! Try a simple game. Take a small plastic bottle and cut a couple of small holes in it. Then, place some treats or kibble in the bottle. In order to get the food, the cat will need to learn to roll and move the bottle so that the treats fall out of the holes. Turkish Vans love to climb. You might find the cat has perched itself high on top of cabinets or large appliances, like the refrigerator. If you do have a Turkish Van, you will want to make sure it has plenty of opportunities for climbing. If you think you have a Turkish Van on your hands, but are still unsure, consult an expert that specializes in cat breeds. This can be a breeder of Turkish Vans. You can also talk to your veterinarian for suggestions. Be aware that without pedigree papers, it can be difficult to officially determine if you really have a Turkish Van, though you may be reasonably sure.

Article in English: Turn off and unplug your oven. Then, find the breaker box and look at the schematic on the circuit breaker door to find the switch that controls the electricity to your oven. Flip the switch to the off position to cut off the power. Turning off the power to the oven will prevent you from being electrocuted. Read the user manual that came with your oven and read any warnings or directions that may be in it. To gain access to your thermostat, you’ll need to unscrew the back of your oven. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws on the back of the oven. Once all the screws are removed, you should be able to slide the back panel off.  Screws will usually line the perimeter on the backside of your oven. Remove all of them to remove the back faceplate. Set the screws aside in a safe place because you'll need them to screw on the backplate once you're done. The oven thermostat will be connected to a rectangular plate that has 2 screws in it and a wire leading to a square plastic plug. This will usually be on the bottom right on the back of the oven. Pull on both ends of the plastic plug to disconnect the wire. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws attaching the thermostat faceplate to the oven and set them aside for later. Once the screws are removed, carefully pull the thermostat out from the hole. Multimeters are used to test and measure electrical current in a circuit and can be used to test whether your thermostat is working. You can purchase a multimeter at a hardware store or online. The ohms setting is a Ω symbol and can be found on most modern multimeters. If you have a multimeter that doesn’t have the ohm setting, you’ll need to set it to the 2k or 4k setting. Grab the red and black probes on the end of the multimeter and insert them into the plastic terminals in the thermostat's plug. Touch the probes to the round metal contacts inside of the white plastic plug to get your thermostat's ohm reading. A room temperature oven thermostat should have an ohm reading of 1,000 - 1,100.

Article in English: Turn off your dryer and slide it away from the wall. Go behind your dryer and unscrew the back access panel. Some dryers have a top access panel, but the cleaning process works the same way. Open the panel and then wipe off all visible areas. Look inside the dryer and use your hands or a vacuum to pick up any visible lint, dirt, or debris. Pay particular attention to the areas surrounding the exhaust vent. Clean the area surrounding the heating element, but be gentle and careful when handling or moving wires around. If you chose to wipe down any metal parts, feel free to use a standard all-purpose cleaner paired with a microfiber cloth. Once you are satisfied that the interior is clean, slide the panel back into place and secure it with the screws. Push the dryer back against the wall and plug it in again. Do a quick dry cycle just to make sure that everything sounds okay. Perform a cleaning sooner if your dryer feels very hot while running or if your clothes seem to never get fully dry. These are all signs that your dryer could be suffering from a lint blockage. Use a search engine to locate an appliance repair specialist near you and make an appointment. They can follow the manufacturer’s directions to ensure that your machine is serviced properly without voiding the warranty. Before you schedule when them, ask if they will clean out and service your exterior vent, as some repairmen do not include this service unless specifically requested.

Article in English: Turn off your electricity before cutting your inspection hole. Before you replace your damaged ceiling, you'll need to know what's on the other side of your ceiling. Cut a small square hole that's deep enough to cut through the drywall, but not deep enough to penetrate anything on the other side. If you cut the hole and see electrical wires, plumbing, gas lines, or HVAC ducts you may need to hire a professional to replace your ceiling. Once you make sure that you won't damage anything behind the ceiling you can start to remove the water damaged ceiling. Use a framing square to draw a box around the portion of your ceiling that has water damage.  A framing square will create a square hole that is easier to patch. If the damage is more than 6x6 inches (15.24x15.24 cm) then you should seek professional guidance to fix your leaking ceiling. Using the lines as a guide, cut into the ceiling with a utility saw and start to cut away the damaged drywall. Once you cut the lines, you can use a small prying instrument to remove the damaged drywall from the ceiling. Use a tape measure or ruler to get the exact dimensions of the drywall that you cut out. Measuring the cut-out piece of drywall will give you the needed dimensions for the drywall replacement.

Article in English: Turn on the cooktop to medium-high heat and allow the pan to begin warming up. Swirl the oil in the bottom of the pan so that it coats the entire surface—this will ensure more even heating and help prevent sticking. The pan will appear to shimmer when the oil is hot enough to cook with.  Choose an oil with a high smoke point that’s suitable for frying, such as peanut, vegetable, or canola oil.  You’ll eventually be stewing all of the main components together, so make sure the pan you use is big enough to hold everything. Throw your aromatics into the pan together and give them a good toss or stir to mix them. Keep the pieces moving continuously to expose them to a consistent amount of heat and avoid burning them. Frying the aromatics briefly before introducing the rest of your ingredients will unlock more of their natural pungent flavor. You should notice the onions taking on a translucent appearance within 3-5 minutes. Once they begin to caramelize slightly, reduce the temperature of the cooktop to medium heat. Onions sometimes have to cook for quite a while before they lose their crunch, so it’s a good idea to get them started ahead of the tilapia.

Article in English: Turn on the oven and let it heat up. While you wait, prepare your other ingredients. Spread both varieties of peppers over a baking sheet along with the garlic. Remember to wear gloves when handling the peppers and avoid touching your skin. Drizzle teaspoons of olive oil over each pepper. While wearing gloves, rub in the olive oil. Get the peppers slick and coated, adding more oil as needed. Set the baking tray on a rack near the middle of your oven. Close the door and let the onions and peppers cook for 30 minutes. The peppers and onions shouldn’t need to be flipped over, but you can do this halfway through if you want to make sure they roast fully. After the 30 minutes are up, shut off the oven and take the baking tray out. Set it on the stove to let the onions and peppers cool. Wear gloves to protect yourself from the pepper juice. First, peel the outer skin off the garlic. Then move on to the peppers. Slice off the stems. You don’t have to cut the ingredients or take the seeds out of the peppers. Move the baking tray’s contents into the blender. Run the blender until the ingredients are broken down completely. You should end up with a smooth, even sauce. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and set it on the stove. Next, add both types of vinegar, the soy sauce, the honey, and the mustard. Mix the ingredients together. Turn the heat up to high and wait a few minutes. The sauce will get hot and begin to bubble. Once it does, the sauce is done and can be removed from heat. Pour the sauce into sauce bottles or mason jars. Leave the bottles out on a counter, uncovered. Wait between 10 and 20 minutes for the bottles to no longer feel warm to the touch. Move the cooled sauce bottles to the refrigerator. After 3 days, all the flavors will have developed and you can add the sauce to any recipe you wish.

Article in English: Turn on your oven and give it a few minutes to get up to the proper temperature. Once it is heated, begin cooking the roast as soon as you can. You may see recipes using wildly different temperatures, and cooking the beef at a different temperature is fine if you want to experiment.  Lower temperatures mean slower cooking, so adjust your timer accordingly. Instead of using an oven, you can cook roasts in a dutch oven. Start by searing the meat in oil, then add beef stock and other ingredients. Put the dutch oven in your oven for 2 to 3 hours.  Another option is a slow cooker. Sear the meat before adding all of your ingredients to the slow cooker. Cook for about 4 to 6 hours on high or 8 to 10 hours on low. For example, a 4 lb (1.8 kg) top round roast takes about 84 minutes, or 1 ¼ hours. Larger roasts take longer to cook than smaller roasts. Similarly, a cold roast takes a little longer to cook than one at room temperature. Keep a close eye on your roast and test it with a meat thermometer if you aren’t sure it is done.  This is the average time to get your top round roast to medium rare. If you want it to be closer to well done, expect it take 30 to 35 minutes per pound. Roasts are best served medium rare, though. The average roasting time can also vary depending on your oven and the heat setting you use. Position the meat, making sure it is in or over a pan that can catch any dripping juices. Close the door as soon as possible so the heat doesn’t escape. Then, set your timer as your roast begins to cook. Leave the roast in the oven for the amount of time you calculated earlier. Don’t open the oven door if you can help it, since doing so lets out the heat. If you think the roast may be done before the time is up, you should definitely check it to avoid overcooking.  You can start the roasting process at a higher temperature, then lower it after about 15 minutes. The high temperature can give the roast a nice, brown sear. Another option for browning is to heat olive oil in a pan, then sear the meat about 2...

Article in English: Turn the clasp with your fingers. You will soon see a vertical line running end to end along 1 side. The clasp opens along this line. The standard barrel clasp has a groove. Pandora also sells some lobster clasps, which are like keychain hooks. You simply press the button to open the clasp, then slide the end of the bracelet off it. Slide your thumbnail in first, followed by another fingernail if you can fit it. The easiest way to do this is with both thumbs, but you can do it with your other fingers as well. Position your thumbs so both nails touch back to back.  Brace the sides of the clasp with your other fingers or the side of your body. After you get accustomed to opening the bracelet, you may be able to do it with a single nail. Starting with 2 nails is easier and gives you more leverage on the clasp. Push both nails outwards to separate the ends of the clasp. Apply gentle but firm pressure. The clasp will soon pop open so you can remove or put on the bracelet.  To keep the charms secure, the clasp may be a little stiff and difficult to open. Apply more force to leverage it without the use of additional tools. If you have trouble opening the clasp, adjust your grip and try again. Most clasps pop open without much trouble, but you may need to get a clasp opener to remove a stuck clasp. The clasp is permanently secured to 1 end of the bracelet. The other end looks like a small plug. Simply pick it up and move it out of the clasp to finish opening the bracelet.

Wrap the hot chestnuts in a thick, clean towel. Use your hands to work the towel over the chestnuts. Rub with the towel for a few minutes. The skins should begin to peel off. Put on rubber gloves. Any type of clean, unused rubber gloves will work. Working one at time, rub the chestnut until the skin begins to peel off. The skins should peel of easily if they have been boiled enough.

Article in English: Turn the oven on to 325 degrees F (160 C). Get out a 9 x 9-inch (23 x 23-cm) pan and coat it with cooking spray or grease. Set the pan aside while you make the johnnycake batter. Place ½ cup (113 g) of softened butter and ¾ cups (150 g) of sugar into a mixing bowl. Use a stand or electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar together on medium-low speed. The mixture should lighten a little in color. Add 4 cups (400 g) of flour, ½ cup (120 ml) of water, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons baking powder to the bowl. Stir the batter on low speed while you slowly pour in ¾ cup (180 ml) of milk. The batter should look thick and sticky at this point. Scoop the batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula. Or, dust your hands with flour and press down gently on the batter in the pan, so it becomes level. Put the pan in the oven and bake the johnnycake for one hour. The edges of the johnnycake should turn golden brown while the center will still remain light. Cool the johnnycake for a few minutes before you cut and serve it. The johnnycake will not rise as much as a cake or traditional cornbread.

Article in English: Turn the oven on to 350 degrees F (180 C). Get out a 10-inch (25-cm) round cake pan and spray it with cooking spray. Or you could grease the pan and coat it with a little unsweetened cocoa powder. Cut a circle of parchment paper to fit the pan and place it in the bottom. Spray this with cooking spray too. Spread 1 cup (140 g) of almonds with the skins on across a baking sheet. Use a sheet with a rim, so the almonds don't slide off the pan. Put the pan in the oven and toast the nuts for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let the almonds cool. Turn the oven temperature down to 325 degrees F (160 C). You should be able to smell the almonds and they should be dark brown once they've finished toasting. Place 8 ounces (226 g) of chopped semisweet or bittersweet chocolate into a medium bowl. Stir in 1 cup (240 ml) of melted coconut oil and set the bowl over a saucepan with simmering water in it. Stir the mixture until the chocolate melts. Turn off the heat. Don't let the bowl actually touch the simmering water. Put the cooled, toasted almonds into a blender or food processor. Add ¼ cup (25 g) of unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Blitz the mixture until the nuts are finely ground. Add ½ cup (40 g) of unsweetened shredded coconut and pulse the mixture two or three times, so it's mixed into the almonds. Set the mixture aside. Crack 6 large eggs into a large mixing bowl. Use a stand mixer with a whisk attachment to beat the eggs on medium speed. Beat them for 20 seconds, so the eggs are beaten and you can't see streaks of egg yolk. You'll get more volume from whisking the eggs, if they're at room temperature. Turn off the mixer and add ½ cup (100 g) of granulated sugar, ½ cup (100 g) of packed, light brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Turn the mixer on to high speed and whisk the wet mixture for about 2 minutes. The mixture should look thick and pale once it's whisked long enough. Take the whisk attachment off of the mixer and put on the beater (paddle) attachment. Turn...

Article in English: Turn the oven on to 350°F (180°C). Get out a baking sheet and line the sheet with a silicone baking mat. If you don't have a mat, you can line it with a sheet of parchment paper. Set the pan aside while you make the cookie dough. Measure 1 tablespoon of ground flax seeds into a small prep bowl. Pour 3 tablespoons of water over the seeds and stir to combine the mixture. Let the mixture sit for 2 minutes, so the flax seeds absorb all of the moisture. Set the mixture aside. Place 2 cups (180 g) of old fashioned oats into a large mixing bowl. Stir in 1 cup (120) of gluten-free all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir the dry ingredients for about 30 seconds, so the baking soda and spices are incorporated. Set the dry mixture aside. Ensure that the oats you use were prepared in a gluten-free facility. Place 1/2 cup (113 g) of softened vegan butter into a large mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup (100 g) of white sugar. Use a stand or hand mixer to beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed for about 3 minutes. The butter and sugar mixture should become light and fluffy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Turn the mixer to low and stir in the hydrated flax mixture along with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat the mixture just until the extract and flax are mixed in. Keep the mixer on low and slowly stir in the dry ingredients and 1 cup (150 g) of raisins. Stir just until the dry ingredients are combined. If you'd like to make plain oatmeal cookies, just leave out the raisins. Or you could swap out other dried fruit for the raisins. For example, try dried cranberries or apricots. You can use two spoons to scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Or use a cookie scoop that measures about 2 tablespoons to scoop the dough onto the sheet. Set the cookies about 2-inches (5-cm) apart on the sheet. Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 15 to 20 minutes. The cookies will puff a little...

Article in English: Turn the oven on to 375 °F (191 °C) and wait for it to completely heat. Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Drizzle them with one tablespoon of olive oil. Then sprinkle them with ½  teaspoon of cumin, ½  teaspoon of chili powder, ¼  teaspoon of garlic powder and ¼  teaspoon of salt. If you don't want to cook a chicken, you can always buy an already cooked rotisserie chicken and simply shred it small pieces. Place the baking sheet with the chicken in the oven. Wait 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is done and looks slightly brown on top, then remove the tray. Wait for the chicken to cool, around five minutes. Then use two forks to pull apart the chicken. Pull the chicken into small strips, then set the chicken aside as you prepare the other ingredients. You can also use your fingers instead of the forks to give you more control over the size and shape of the strips. Stack the five tortillas on top of one another and use a sharp knife to cut them into strips. Cut the strips to about an inch long and half an inch wide. Spread the tortilla strips on a baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss the tortilla strips so that they are all evenly coated. Then sprinkle them with salt and spread them out so that they aren't overlapping. Bake the tortilla strips in the oven, either along with the chicken or separately, for 15-18 minutes until the strips are crisp and lightly golden brown, then set aside. You can also buy tortilla chips from the grocery store if you'd prefer.

Summary in Portuguese:


Article in English: Turn the valve on the top of the refrigerant can clockwise until it pierces the top and begins releasing refrigerant through the hose and into the vehicle’s air conditioning system. Some cans may require a different method to break their seal.  Refer to the instructions on the can for guidance if need be. As you allow the refrigerant to pass through into the vehicle’s engine, keep the can upright and shake it occasionally.  If you turn the can to the side, the pressure will drop and the can will fail to refill the system.  Shaking the can occasionally will help maintain pressure as it continues to force refrigerant into the system. Do not turn the can or hold it upside down. Keep your eye out for signs of leaking in the air conditioning system as you refill it.  If you spot a leak, it will need to be repaired by a professional mechanic.  Make a note of where the leak was to make it easier to find and address. Leaks should be fairly easy to spot as you refill the system. Once the gauge reads as full, remove the hose from the service port and return the cap.  If there is refrigerant left in the can, you can keep it to recharge another vehicle or to service the same vehicle again in the future.  If the can is empty, you can throw it away. Be sure the can is not leaking if you opt to store it. If you spotted a leak or the air conditioning compressor fails to engage, you will need to bring the vehicle in for repairs.  Replacing an A/C compressor may require specialized tools in your application, so it is often beyond the scope of most hobby mechanics. Be careful dealing with refrigerant leaks as the temperatures can be cold enough to injure you.

Article in English: Turn the water on your sink to warm and leave it on. Place each potato under the water and rub it with your clean hands for 15-20 seconds, turning it in the water as you do so. Place each potato in a clean pot or pan after you’ve rinsed it.  You can use a clean produce brush to scrub the potatoes if they’ve been sitting around for a while. A quick rinse and light rub should be more than enough though. You can boil any kind of potato. The only difference between individual varieties is the cooking time.

Summary in Portuguese:


Article in English: Turn your head toward the side from which your attacker is choking you. This will ensure that your airway doesn't get cut off. Use your hands to grab onto your attacker's arm, with your fingers on the inside of her arm, near your chin. Raise or shrug your shoulders so you create a space where you can tuck your chin down to your body and get your fingers into the space between his arm and your chin. Aim to tuck your chin into the crook of his elbow; that is where there will be the most wiggle room. Sink down in his hold by bending your knees. This will make it more difficult for your attacker to lock his arm onto your neck. On the side that your attacker is choking you, step your foot back behind her foot to lock in her leg.  Don't arch your back backward. Instead, keep your back curved forward. If you lean back, you render yourself defenseless with no balance. Do not step out to the side, but back, behind her foot so your legs are calf-to-calf. Bend your knees and turn 180° toward your stepped foot. Your hands should still be on his arm, in between your chin and his arm. Once out of the headlock, pull diagonally across your body to throw your attacker to the ground. Keep your opposite foot (the foot that didn't lock behind your attacker's leg) strong so as to trip your opponent as you throw him to the ground across your body.

Article in English: Turn your stove to medium heat. Continue stirring constantly as the mixture warms. When the milk is steaming, it has heated enough. When your milk is steaming, you can remove your saucepan from the heat entirely. Pour in the three types of chocolate. Stir so that the chocolate is completely coated. Let it stand for about ten minutes, or until the chocolate is melted. Once the chocolate has been in the mixture for about 10 minutes, you can start whisking. Make sure that you blend all three types of the chocolates together thoroughly. Continue whisking until your chocolate mixture is completely smooth and velvety. There should not be any chunks.

Article in English: Turtles and terrapins tend to have flattened, webbed feet for swimming. Sea turtles are especially adapted for life in the water, with streamlined bodies and long, flipper-like feet. Tortoises, however, have blunt, stumpy feet for walking on land. Their rear legs are elephantine, while their front legs are shovel-like for digging. Tortoises, terrapins, and turtles have scaly skin and protective shells. With a few exceptions (like leatherback sea turtles), the shells of turtles are hard and bony. Tortoise shells tend to be rounded and domed, while turtle and terrapin shells are flatter. If you suspect that you are observing a particular species of turtle, terrapin, or tortoise, look for markings on its shell or body that can help you determine this. For instance:  The Diamondback Terrapin may be identified by the diamond-shape pattern on its shell. The Red-eared Terrapin may be identified by the distinctive red stripe on each side of its head. The Alligator Snapping Turtle may be identified by the pointed, peaked ridges on its shell.

Article in English: Typically speaking, you can choose between forced-air incubators and still-air incubators.  Incubators that can be set for slow air movement maintain a more even distribution of air, temperature, and humidity throughout the incubator, so you'll be able to hatch more eggs with this type of machine. As a general rule, though, still-air incubators are the most difficult machine to manage air flow in, so a rapid forced-air incubator is still a better option. The exact conditions will vary based on the type of incubator you use.  Set the temperature of a forced-air incubator between 99 and 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit (37.2 and 37.5 degrees Celsius) with a relative humidity of 60 to 65 percent. A wet bulb thermometer should read from 83 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit (28.3 to 31.1 degrees Celsius). For a still-air incubator, set the temperature between 100 and 101 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 and 38.3 degrees Celsius) at egg height, noting that there can be a full 5 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius) difference between the top and bottom of the incubator. The humidity should be between 60 and 65 percent, for a wet bulb reading of 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32.2 degrees Celsius) during incubation. Lay the eggs in your incubator, spacing them apart evenly and in single layers.  For best results, lay the eggs horizontally. Doing so can increase hatchability. Try to keep the machine at least 60 percent full. If the incubator is emptier than this, adjust the temperature so that it is warmer by 0.36 degrees Fahrenheit (0.2 degrees Celsius). You should turn the egg by 180 degrees each time. Turning the eggs by 90 degrees could decrease the number of viable eggs. Once a day, you should sprinkle the eggs with a little warm water. Goose eggs require a high humidity, and this water can help maintain that ideal humidity. After 15 days pass, you should submerge the eggs every other day for one minute. Make sure that the water is 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit (37.5 degrees Celsius). You'll need to transfer the eggs from the main body of the...

Article in English: Typically, hay is made from either grass or alfalfa. Depending on your needs, plant grass, alfalfa, or a mixture of the 2 for use as hay after growing.  Grass hay is generally more nutritious than alfalfa hay for livestock, but alfalfa has more fiber.  If you choose grass hay, timothy grass is ideal for growing and harvesting hay. Hay grows best in soil with plenty of organic matter. Test the soil's nitrogen content with a home soil test kit and, if low, mix it with a nitrogen-rich compost.  You can buy home soil test kits from some plant nurseries or agricultural supply stores. To make your compost nitrogen-rich, add coffee grounds, plant clippings, chicken droppings or aged manure, or bone meal. Turn on the tiller and push it through the dirt in a straight row. Work your way through the dirt in straight lines until you till the entire area. If you don't have a rotary tiller or are tilling a small area, you can loosen the dirt and smooth out any clumps with a shovel. Grab a handful of grass, alfalfa, or mixture seeds and spread them evenly along the tilled dirt. Rake the entire tilled area to work the seeds into the soil using light strokes.  If you're growing grass, you can also plant grass plugs or [[lay sod instead. Water the seeds immediately after planting to help them adjust to their new environment.

Article in English: Typically, there’s a reason your friendship isn’t going well. Think about what seems to be keeping you apart and if you can solve that problem. Then, decide if it's the right decision to try. Here are some reasons your friendship may be dying:  You aren’t making time for each other.  One or both of you is going through a stressful time. You don’t have much in common. One or both of you has trouble listening. One or both of you criticizes the other. If you and your friend used to talk a lot in the past, try to get back into that habit. Talk to them in person, text them, or send them digital messages. Regular communication will help you keep your friendship going, even when both of you are busy.  For instance, send your friend a meme every morning. Don’t be afraid to be the first person to text. However, don’t send more than 2 texts without receiving a response because they might feel like you're bombarding them with texts. If you haven't spoken to your friend in awhile, reach out to see how they're doing. You might text, "Hey! This is Amy from camp. How have you been?" It’ll be easier for you to heal your friendship if you and your friend are both on the same page. It’s likely that they don’t realize that you’re trying to fix things. Choose a time when you can talk to them alone, then tell them that you’re hoping to improve your friendship. You might say, “I know we haven’t been able to hang out lately, but I really miss you. I’m hoping that our friendship can be as close as it was before.” Your schedule is probably packed, and your friend is likely really busy, too. However, you guys will need to make time for each other if your friendship is going to work. Include them in your life more by trying the following:  Invite them to go do something fun. Have a meal together. Join a club with them. Take a class together. Set up a study date. Exercise together. Set up a talk or text date. Do a video chat. Your friend will feel more connected to you if you show an interest in their life. The easiest way to do this is...
