Article in English: A tonsillectomy is a relatively simple and effective procedure. It is relatively low-risk, and the recovery period is often short, with throat pain and minor bleeding being the most common concerns.  If your doctor is concerned about your medical history, age, or other factors, they may advise you to go another route. Keep in mind that a tonsillectomy would only be recommended for someone with recurrent or very stubborn or complicated tonsil stones. You can also ask your doctor about removing your tonsil stones. Your doctor may be able to remove them using special irrigation equipment. Different antibiotics, such as penicillin or erythromycin, may be used to treat tonsil stones, but they fail to reverse the underlying cause of tonsil stones, which is food being caught in the tonsils. There may be a relapse, and antibiotics may also have adverse side-effects.  Most antibiotics kill off beneficial bacteria in the mouth and gut which would help do battle against the problem bacteria. The tissue that deep tonsil pockets are made of can be removed via laser.  Laser resurfacing smoothes out the surface of the tonsils so that they no longer have pockets and craters. This procedure is not without risks of its own, however.

Article in English: A toy or a swing in the cage can help keep your canary entertained. However, canaries are less inclined to play with toys than many other types of birds. One toy should be sufficient. More can clutter up the cage and make it harder for your canary to fly around, which should be your top priority. In the wild, canaries like to roll around in damp grass. Putting damp dandelion leaves or grass at the bottom of the cage can serve as a fun distraction. Your canary should care for itself. You will only need to provide a shallow water dish filled with lukewarm water. Place the dish on the cage floor away from your canary's perch. Plastic planter dishes are ideal. Clean the bowl daily. Canary nails need to be clipped approximately twice per year to keep it healthy. However, there is a vein inside the nail that, if punctured, can cause severe and potentially fatal bleeding. Consult with your veterinarian about proper nail clipping technique. Canaries prefer to sleep in the dark. If there are any outside noises or lights in your house, cover the cage with a towel or blanket over night, to help it go to sleep. Canaries are hearty animals. Be aware of signs of illness, however, so that you can take your canary to the vet if anything is wrong. Be mindful if you canary lacks appetite or begins to lose weight rapidly.  Other signs of illness include droppings that are not black or white, wheezing, lethargy, molting out of season, and ruffled feathers. If your canary is fluffed up for long periods of time it might be too cold, and if it holds its wings away from its body and pants, it might be too warm. It will prefer temperatures from 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Article in English: A traditional fast involves fasting from food, but you can also fast from media or different habits.  An absolute fast or water fast requires you to abstain from all solids and liquids aside from water. A liquid fast requires you to abstain from all solid food, but you can still drink any liquid you want. A partial fast requires you to abstain from certain foods or from all foods during a portion of the day. This fast is especially common for Catholics during Lent. A traditional Lenten fast is a partial fast. You should abstain from meat on Fridays and Ash Wednesday. On Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, you should limit yourself to one full meal and two smaller meals that should not be large enough to equal the size of another standard meal. All drinks are acceptable. A bread and water fast permits you to consume bread and water, but nothing more. A media fast requires you to abstain from media. This can include all media, or it can include a certain form of media, such as television or the Internet. A habit fast requires you to abstain from a certain type of behavior. This could be anything from raising your voice to playing cards. This is another fast commonly practiced during Lent. You can fast anywhere from one day to several weeks. Settle on a length of time that is both healthy and spiritually challenging.  If you have never fasted before, it is recommended that you fast for no longer than 24 to 36 hours. Do not fast from fluids for more than three days. Consider easing yourself into an extended absolute fast. Begin by fasting from one meal for several days. After your body has adjusted, fast from the next meal, and finally, fast from all meals. In your prayers, ask God for guidance on what the objective of your fast should be. This objective will provide your prayers with focus and direction as you fast.  Spiritual renewal is a common reason for fasting, but you can also fast if you desire guidance, patience, or healing. You can also fast for a specific cause that extends beyond your personal spiritual...

Article in English: A trained professional will be available to help you make an informed selection. Florists also deliver flowers. It's more of an occasion to receive a delivery of flowers, especially in a public setting such as her office. She will enjoy the excitement the flower delivery gives her co-workers as well as seeing and smelling the flowers themselves. Hospital or hotel gift shops also provide flowers. These places are convenient, but the quality of the flowers may be compromised. Many times the flowers are past their prime and will not last as long. Some supermarkets have an excellent quality of flowers due to the fact that they have an ongoing deal with a supplier. The flowers you buy will be less expensive than those from a florist's shop. You will have to deliver them yourself, of course. Many florists have websites where you can order your flowers from the convenience of home. Most have a wide variety of choices for any occasion. Be aware, however, that substitutions are sometimes made while filling the order and the end result may not match the picture. Be sure the business is reputable before you place an order.

Article in English: A trained, licensed acupuncturist might be able to reduce your forehead wrinkles by toning the muscles in your face.  You'll usually need between 10 to 12 treatments, which will be administered twice a week for five to six weeks. The acupuncturist will insert fine needles into strategic points along the body and face. These needles stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. As a result, your skin naturally plumps up and the circulation to your face improves, which should cause your forehead wrinkles to visibly soften. Botox and other neurotoxins block the nerve impulses that cause muscle contractions in your forehead. As a result, the wrinkles you currently have look less noticeable and won't get any deeper.  Ask for the lowest amount of product they can give and still soften your wrinkles. In the beginning, you may only need 9-15 units to treat your forehead. Aside from Botox, other common neurotoxins include Xeomin and Dysport. Neurotoxin treatments eventually wear off, so you will need another round of injections roughly every 3-4 months if you like the results enough to keep them. During this treatment, the doctor or technician will direct energy from a laser or pulsed diode light directly to your forehead. The procedure can last anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours. The intense light will remove the top layer of skin, creating a mild wound that usually won't be visible to the naked eye. In response, your skin should activate its natural production of collagen and produce new smooth, wrinkle-free skin. The most common chemical treatments used to treat forehead wrinkles include chemical peels and dermabrasion.  During a chemical peel, the doctor will use different chemicals to burn the top layer of skin. Your body should respond to the damage by producing more collagen and, effectively, more smooth skin. During dermabrasion, the doctor will use a mild chemical crystal and a vacuum device to chip away the top layer of skin. This draws evenly textured skin to the surface and should cause light...

Article in English: A true friendship is one where you’ll connect over meaningful things, not just because you’re on the same team or prefer the same brand of clothing. It doesn’t matter what other people think of your friendship, it only matters how you feel in the friendship. A friend that might be more superficial or focused on appearances will:  Criticize you. Be dramatic or negative toward you. Disrespect your needs and opinions. Take advantage of you. Manipulate or control you to do what they want. Don't be afraid to stick up for what you believe in, even if your friends disagree. A real friend will respect your opinion, let you express your beliefs, and let you make your own decisions. Be wary of friends who criticize you, bully you, or don’t listen to you. You can speak up for yourself while still avoiding blaming your friend. You can say, “I feel__when you do/say___. I need you to___. Can you do that?” For example, “I feel frustrated when you make fun of the music I like. I understand that you like different music than me, but I need you to stop. Can you do that?” You may enjoy having some friendships that aren’t as deep or close as others. Establish clear rules and limits for yourself with all of your friends, whether real or superficial. Let your friends know your comfort level on how you spend time with each other. Some good boundaries to set with fake friends include:  Avoid online communication and gossiping. Set online privacy settings to make their access to your information limited. Avoid frequent text messaging. Spend time in groups rather than one-on-one. Turn down invitations or say “no” when you need to. Rejection is a normal part of friendships and may be hurtful, but you don’t have to take it personally. A friend who rejects you may be doing so for any number of reasons. Focus instead on finding and keeping better friends who won’t reject you for who you are.

Article in English: A tsunami comes in waves. There may be many, many waves lasting for hours and the next wave may be even larger than the last. Listen to the radio for updates on what is happening. Do not trust word of mouth. It is better to wait than to return too early and be caught by more incoming waves. " Only then you should return to your home. Find out in advance how local authorities propose to announce such a notice. Remember that roads may be extremely damaged by the tsunami waves and you may have to take alternative routes. A good pre-planned emergency plan should account for this possibility and provide alternative routes and gathering places. Once the tsunami has subsided, there will be debris, destroyed buildings and broken infrastructure. There may also be dead bodies. Fresh water supplies will be destroyed or disrupted. Food supplies will most likely be unavailable. The potential for disease, post-traumatic stress disorder, grief, starvation, and injuries will make the post-tsunami period nearly as perilous as the tsunami itself. An emergency plan should also consider the aftermath and what you'll need to do to protect yourself, your family and your community. If your local authorities have not put action plans into place, suggest that they do so or form a community action group to consider a post-tsunami plan. Things that can help survival post tsunami include:  Establishing an advance stash of fresh water. Whether bottled water or filtered water, an emergency water supply should be in place in your community. Opening up undamaged homes and buildings to others. Help those in distress and provide them with shelter.  Ensuring that there are power generators to enable cooking, maintenance of hygiene and return of basic health and transportation services. Running emergency shelters and food distribution. Getting health care into action immediately. Quelling fires and gas ruptures.

Article in English: A variety of computer software programs equipped for designing and printing individualized CD covers are available, most of them available for free download. You can customize your own photos, add text, and size them appropriate for jewel cases, or your own slip-cases. Any of the following are perfect for designing CDs:  Adobe Illustrator CD Label Designer CD & DVD Label Maker CD Cover Creator CNET Print Master Gold In some programs, you'll be able to select this when you open the program, but if you're using a multi-purpose software, like Illustrator, you'll have to define the size of the project. CDs are 4.724 inches square (120mm x 120 mm), so use the box tool or set your parameters accordingly.  It might be appropriate to change the background color to something like dark gray, or whatever you'd like the base color scheme of the CD to be, to make the changes more obvious. If you want to create the back cover for a jewel case, as well, the dimensions are 5.906 in. x 4.646 in. (150 mm x 118 mm), to make space for the folding line. To create the back cover, follow the same steps as follow. This tutorial will assume you're using an Illustrator-like program, but you should defer to the specific design software you're using. In general, though, you want to create a new layer on top of the base layer, then select an appropriate image for the cover.  Browse through your saved photos or search for one online. The simpler, the better, in general. You can change the background color scheme to match your desired image later, if necessary.

Article in English: A variety of fungal organisms cause toenail fungus, and they are most common in older adults. Although anyone can contract a fungal infection, there are some factors that increase risk. If you have diabetes or circulation issues, talk to your doctor about your treatment plan. It is more difficult to get rid of fungus if you don't have other medical issues under control.  Keep in mind that advanced age, smoking, poor circulation, and immunosuppression may result in developing toenail fungus. It is uncommon for preadolescent children to get toenail fungus, but a family member with toenail fungus poses a risk to other family members. It is more difficult to get rid of fungus if you don't have other medical issues under control. Closely follow your doctor's instructions about diet and taking medications like insulin, if necessary. The locker room at your pool or gym is a breeding ground for germs. Invest in some plastic or rubber sandals to keep your feet safe in this damp atmosphere. You can get these online or at any box store or pharmacy. Wear them in public places where you shower or change clothing. Wash your shower shoes with soap and water once a week so that they don't carry any fungus organisms. Keeping your feet clean and soft is a great way to prevent toenail fungus. Take care to wash your feet thoroughly at least once a day with soap and warm water. Dry your feet thoroughly, and then apply moisturizer. Wash your feet more frequently if you sweat a lot or if your feet are damp for other reasons, such as walking in the rain. Since fungus thrives in damp environments, you want to stay dry. Choose socks that are made from moisture-wicking materials. Select shoes made from breathable material, like nylon.  Keep an extra pair of socks with you if there’s a chance you might get caught walking in the rain. Try sprinkling baking soda in your shoes to soak up any extra moisture.

Article in English: A violin bridge is a small piece of wood. The bottom of the bridge is usually a straight line, while the top is arched slightly. When you're examining your bridge, you'll notice one side of the arch is slightly higher than the other. The lower side is the e-string side, and the taller side is the g-string side. When you put the bridge in place, make sure the e-string comes over the e-string side, and the g-string comes over the g-string side. If you don't know which strings are which, when the violin's head is facing your body, the g-string will be the string farthest to the left. The e-string will be the string farthest to the right. To avoid snapping a string while placing the bridge, loosen the strings slightly. You loosen violin strings by turning the tuning knobs on the end of the violin. Strings should be loose enough that you can easily pull them up and down, allowing them to be lifted up enough to slip the bridge under the strings. The F-holes are two f-shaped holes found near the end of the violin's head. When you slide the bridge under the strings, make sure it's between the two F-holes. The bridge should be placed at roughly the midway point of the f-holes. Imagine you're drawing a line from one f-hole to the next, starting at the small horizontal line running through one f-hole and stretching out to meet the small horizontal line running through the other f-hole. This imaginary line should run through the violin bridge. The violin bridge has four small knobs running across the top. The four violin strings fit into these knobs, keeping the bridge and the strings in place. Gently feed one violin string at a time into the knobs on the bridge. Now you can retighten your strings to keep the knob in place. Gently turn each knob on the bottom of the violin. It's a good idea to use one hand to hold the bridge in place while tightening the strings, to prevent it from falling over. Tighten the strings until they are secure enough to keep the bridge in place while still having a very slight amount of slack.

Article in English: A vivarium is a wooden tank with a glass front. It should have a tight lid and smooth sides to prevent the dragon from hurting his nose. Look for a vivarium that will be easy to clean. Vivariums should have a polyurethane or waterproof sealing. You should make sure the joints are caulked as well.  If you waterproof a vivarium yourself, be sure to allow the vivarium to dry for a week before putting your dragon in his home.  Make sure your dragon has enough space to run around, climb, and sit on branches.  Clean your pet’s habitat thoroughly regularly with a 10:1 mixture of water to bleach. Remove any vegetables that he does not eat within four hours. Remove uneaten insects at the day’s end. You can also purchase an aquarium for your dragon. Baby dragons can live in a 10–15 gallon (37.9–56.8 L) aquarium, while adults need a larger 55-60 gallon space. Aquariums are a better short-term solution because it is difficult to regulate the temperature in them. Wooden vivariums encapsulate heat better than glass or metal does. Aim to provide a less warm area (30 degrees Celsius/86 degrees Fahrenheit) and a warmer section (45 degrees Celsius/113 degrees Fahrenheit). The vivarium should be no smaller than 48 x 24 x 24 inches (61 cm). Make sure your vivarium has air vents, minimally one per square foot. The vent should be on the upper part of the back wall rather than on the lower section. See Care for Bearded Dragons for additional instructions on how to set up your pet’s habitat and vivarium. You can purchase a vivarium or make your own using DIY kits, such as Vivexotic. A substrate is the material that fills the bottom of the vivarium. Your pet will dig into the substrate. Aim for a substrate that looks natural and makes your dragon feel at home. The substrate should also be absorbent. Because your dragon might eat parts of it unintentionally, try to find substrate that is non-toxic and safely digestible. You can utilize smooth newspapers, indoor or outdoor carpet, brown paper, AstroTurf.. Do not use wood chips or...

Article in English: A window-mounted cooler fits in a window, much like an AC window unit. You can also install swamp coolers that cool the whole house on the roof or outside on the ground.  The advantage of a window unit is it is easy to install. However, it will only cool a room or two. A roof-mounted unit is more efficient, but it's also more difficult to install. The advantage of a ground-mounted version is you don't have to worry about your swamp cooler leaking through the roof. Also, this version is easier to perform maintenance on. With any cooling unit, you must get enough blowing power to cool your whole house. In swamp coolers, that power is measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). You need to figure out the CFM required to get approximately 30 changes per hour. An air change is when all the air in your house has been circulated out once.  First, figure out the volume of your house. To figure out the volume, multiply your square footage by your inside ceiling height. Next, figure out the cubic feet per minute. Divide your volume by 2 to reach your CFM, which should be enough power to get 30 changes per hour. If you're replacing an existing air conditioner with a swamp cooler, you should choose a bit lower CFM. The existing duct work won't be quite large enough for a swamp color, so you choose a less powerful option. In this case, pick 1,000 CFM for each air conditioning ton. An air conditioning ton is a unit of measurement. It refers to how many BTUs of heat the air conditioner can remove in an hour. If you are worried about allergies, you can pick a unit with an air filter to help reduce incoming dust. Swamp coolers pull in outside air, so you may get allergens from the outside.

Article in English: A wire cage is a popular cage type for hamsters but usually is not big enough, so when looking for wire cages often rat cages with 1/2 inch spacing can work aswell as large hamster cages. A wire cage usually has a detachable base made of solid plastic. The horizontal bars are ideal for hanging toys and chews.  Big wire cages are more suitable for Syrian hamsters, since they are relatively large and would not be able to squeeze between the wires.  Be aware that your hamster could gnaw on the wires,- if not given chews and toys-, which could lead to various dental problems that may need veterinary care. Plastic hamster cages are multi-level, with tunnels and other areas that your hamster can run through and play in. In addition to being visually appealing (plastic cages are very colorful), plastic cages can be good for a dwarf hamster, since his small size would allow him to easily run through the twists and turns of the tunnels.  It can be fun to watch your hamster run through the cage. A plastic cage is not ideal if you have a large hamster, since he could get stuck in the tunnels.  If you have a dwarf hamster, he could easily hide in the small nooks and crannies of the cage, making him hard to find. Most plastic cages are too small alone and can only be used as attachment cages to a cage of the minimum size.  Plastic hamster cages should not have any edges that your hamster could gnaw on. Aquariums are not specifically made for hamsters, but could be an ideal housing option for your hamster. They are typically made of either solid glass or plexi-glass, which makes them very sturdy and easy to see through. To keep your hamster from escaping, the aquarium should be covered with a well-fitted mesh top. You may need to purchase this separately at your local pet store.  The minimum size aquarium that you should have for your hamster is 30-40 gallons depending on the specific aquarium. Just be sure to have the floorspace be of the minimum size or bigger.   An aquarium would be ideal if you have a dwarf or Chinese...

Article in English: A woman with postpartum psychosis may insist that she needs to be at home, caring for her baby, but this condition requires that you follow medical advice. Doing otherwise poses a threat to both mother and baby. Many women with postpartum psychosis need to be hospitalized so that medical staff can monitor them until they stabilize. Entering a hospital – especially a psychiatric hospital, as frequently necessary – can be upsetting, especially for new mothers, who may insist that they need to be at home. But this step is often necessary for effective treatment. If your wife, partner, or loved one must be hospitalized with postpartum psychosis, try to assure her that hospitalization is temporary and that full-time, effective treatment will help her get home to her baby as quickly as possible. Do everything in your power to convince her that she is doing the right thing for herself and for her newborn. Women with postpartum psychosis are typically prescribed some combination of antipsychotic drugs and mood stabilizers. When taken as directed, these drugs are generally quite effective. These drugs may or may not be safe to take when breastfeeding, so talk to your doctor and weigh the risks and benefits of particular medications. Remember that treating the postpartum psychosis should be the primary concern, followed by continuation of breastfeeding. Some women benefit from electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). This is a modern form of shock therapy that is sometimes effective in treating psychotic episodes. Postpartum psychosis is a medical condition, and it demands medical treatment. In addition, though, talk therapy may be beneficial, especially the disorder begins to recede. A counselor can help you (or your wife, partner, or loved one) deal with the symptoms of postpartum psychosis and the trauma that the condition can inflict. Moving forward, a counselor can also help you deal with any feelings of doubt or guilt about motherhood, which many women experience after postpartum depression, anxiety, or psychosis. Note...

Article in English: ALA comes from vegetable oils, seeds, nuts and legumes. ALA is converted to EPA and DHA once ingested, but it is converted at a very low rate, ranging from 0.2% to 8% on average with a conversion rate up to 21% for women. However, ALA that is not converted to EPA and DHA is still used by the body and has positive benefits, such as the prevention of inflammation and reduced risk of heart disease. ALA can benefit everyone, not just vegetarians. EPA and DHA occur naturally in algae and it would be considered vegan- and vegetarian-friendly. Fish oil contains high amounts of EPA and DHA. It comes in oil or pill form. EPA works with DHA, but tends to help with inflammation in the body more than DHA or ALA. High DHA intake has been associated with a decrease in depression and improved bipolar disorder. The effects take a few weeks to be noticed. DHA therapy is gaining popularity as a natural treatment for depression. It has also been linked to improve memory and learning.

Article in English: ATM machines are magnets for pickpockets. Some thieves will work in pairs to distract you from one side while snatching your money while you aren’t looking. Other criminals will peek over your shoulder to see your PIN number and try to lift your wallet later. If you have to use an ATM, find one inside a reputable business that isn’t out in the open so that you can withdraw your cash in a safe location. ATMs that are tucked away inside of private nooks at restaurants and hotels are much more difficult to exploit. Some thieves will pretend to accidentally bump into you while you’re walking down the street or getting on the bus. When they bump into you, they’ll reach into an easily-accessed pocket to try and grab something valuable. After anyone bumps into you, subtly pat your pockets to make sure that your personal belongings haven’t been lifted.  Avoid brushing up against people in crowds or tight quarters. Thieves often rely on dense crowds to avoid being noticed. Keep a tight hold on your belongings and remain alert when you’re on the bus, getting on a train, or wandering through a crowded metropolitan area. Be wary of interviewers, fundraisers, or chatty strangers. Pickpockets will often work in teams and try to distract you while someone robs you from behind. When receiving directions from a stranger, stay at least 2–3 ft (0.61–0.91 m) away at all times. Don’t look over their shoulder to reference a map and don’t lean in close to listen. Clever pickpockets will try to hold a map or pamphlet up to show you something while reaching into your pocket or bag. Be cautious about accepting unsolicited help. Most people are just trying to help, but pickpockets often volunteer to help to lure you into feeling safe. If you’re traveling, do your best to blend in with your environment by dressing down. Avoid bright clothing that is going to make you stand out and stay away from tourist apparel to play down the fact that you’re visiting. Thieves are less likely to try robbing someone that lives where they do. This won’t...

Article in English: Abdominal problems are often difficult to diagnose since the symptoms of any one problem are reminiscent of lots of different kinds of issues, including gastritis, pancreatitis, Crohn's disease, and a variety of other problems.  It's important to see your doctor and arrive at a proper diagnosis if you think you may have an ulcer, so you can receive the proper care. Ulcer symptoms include:  Persistent or recurring stomach or abdominal pain Discomfort or a bloating sensation in the abdomen Nausea and vomiting Loss of appetite Traces of blood in vomit Dark black or tarry-looking stool indicative of bleeding from the upper part of the small intestine Weight loss, pallor, lightheadedness, and weakness due to persistent blood loss If you're having stomach problems, it's not necessarily an ulcer. Based on the history of your symptoms, your diet, and a physical exam, your doctor will be able to rule out the possibility or might advise further investigations to confirm it.  The doctor may start you on medication to reduce the pain and acidity if the symptoms are mild. Inform the doctor if there is persistence of blood in your vomit, if the stools continue to appear black, or if your symptoms worsen. There may be an underlying serious condition that needs to be taken care of. In such a case you will be asked to undergo tests to determine the cause of the bleeding. Your general practitioner may recommend that you visit a GI (gastrointestinal) specialist, during which time you may go through tests which can be used to properly diagnose any kind of digestive ulcer.  Two non-invasive tests that can be used to rule out other causes include an ultrasound of your whole abdomen and an MRI. While these tests won't show an ulcer, they do help your doctor rule out other issues.  Non-invasive upper gastrointestinal (GI) x-rays can help your doctor see an ulcer. After drinking a chalky substance called barium, you will have x-rays taken to look for signs of ulcers in your stomach. Once the ulcer is detected, the doctor may advise...

Article in English: About a quarter-sized amount of dish soap will work. Turn on your faucet and wait for the water to warm up. Let it dry thoroughly before using again with oil paint. Lay it down so no water is trapped in the brush head causing loosening of bristles and/or chipped, warped handles. This is optional, but you can also clean with mineral spirits every few months, for a deeper clean.

Article in English: Abrasive cleaners can damage cubic zirconia. All you need is some mild dish detergent from your kitchen and a bit of warm water. The precise ratio of detergent and water for a routine cleaning does not have to be exact, but strive for about one part detergent to two parts water. You can dunk the jewelry briefly to get it wet. You can also simply apply your water/detergent mixture to your toothbrush. Gently scrub down your cubic zirconia with a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove dirt and debris and achieve a healthy shine. If you don't have a spare toothbrush on hand, cubic zirconia can also be cleaned with a soft cosmetic brush. A brush used for eye shadow, for example, would work well. It's important not to leave any soap residue on cubic zirconia. After washing your cubic zirconia, rinse it under the faucet until the water runs clean. Letting cubic zirconia air dry can cause damage. Use a clean cloth to gently dab the zirconia dry. Keep dabbing until there is no moisture left on the jewelry.

Article in English: Abuse can take many forms and it is not always easy to spot an abusive person. Some subtle signs of emotional or psychological abuse include:  saying things to make you feel guilty humiliating you on purpose being extra critical of you ignoring you having affairs or flirting with the opposite sex in obvious ways talking to you in a sarcastic voice or making fun of you saying “I love you, but…” trying to control you using isolation, money, or threats constantly texting or calling you when you are not around If your spouse is also emotionally abusive and condescending to your children, you should take extra steps to protect them during this fragile stage of development. To do this, you can:   Be extra kind to your children to make up for the abuse that they suffer. Tell them how much you love them and treat them especially well. Explain to them that when people get angry, they say things that they don't really mean. Make it clear that what people say about them, even a parent, isn't necessarily true. What matters is how they feel about themselves. Alert social services to ask for help if the emotional abuse is severe or persistent. Tell your spouse that he is emotionally abusing the children and that it is not appropriate and that if he doesn't stop you will take steps to end the relationship and get custody of your children. Friends and family can offer excellent support and advice during a relationship crisis. Try talking to your friends and family about what has been going on. Ask for suggestions about what to do next or where to get help. You may even be able to stay with a friend or family member until you can figure things out and find a place of your own. This may be the best thing for you to do. If you have children, then getting them away from an abusive spouse will benefit them as well. Tell your spouse you want you both to go to couple's therapy. Couples therapy can be effective at helping you both to change your dysfunctional relationship dynamic. This can be an effective way for you to, in a safe...

Article in English: Accepting an annoying relative is not always easy, but there are things you can do to make it happen. Spend short amounts of time just with them alone. This might seem to be exactly the opposite thing you want to do, but your undivided attention, even in small amounts, can go a long way to diffusing annoying behavior. It might seem counter intuitive, but being loving can often stop the annoyances before they occur. And, it will certainly changes your perspective.  It’s not your purpose in life to change them, because you cannot succeed and you will waste your energy. Do incorporate love and acceptance into everything you say and do. Accept, rather than deny, that you have a hard time dealing with annoying people, and that some of these people are in your family.  When you get irritated and annoyed, don't blame them. You're the one who cannot deal with it, and acknowledging this the first step towards taking responsibility.  Focus on what you can do better to be the person you want to be, no matter who you are around, or what they do or say. You'll always come out ahead if you focus on yourself. Being compassionate towards yourself, and to those around you, can go a long way towards diffusing the annoyance.  Compassion is active, not passive, and is something you develop over time.  You will fail at being compassionate from time to time, but with annoying relatives, you will always get a new chance to practice compassion!

Article in English: Accepting it for what it is can help you decide if you want to keep on loving this person and waiting for him to love you, or if you want to move on. Being honest with yourself about the situation will help you be happy with whatever you decide.   For example, If your love interest is in a long-term relationship and has told you he doesn't love you, then don’t pretend he just needs to get to know you better. It will just hurt you in the long-run. If your crush doesn’t know that you love him, then be honest with yourself that this isn’t one-sided love. It could simply be a lack of communication between you two. If you love your ex, be honest with yourself that there might be good reasons why aren’t together. Think about why you broke up and if this is really the right person for you. Sometimes we love the idea of someone without really getting to know her. Be honest with yourself about what you know about your love interest and if this is the type of person that is worthy of your love. Knowing that the person is worth your love will make you happier in your decision to love her.  Are there big warning signs that you are overlooking? Is this person mean to you or others? Does she cheat on her current love? Is this someone that you know well, like a friend, and accept both the good and bad about her? There are lots of different reasons why people end up in one-sided love. Figuring out why you are will help you know what to do about it to be happy.  For example, is this a pattern for you? Do you fall in love easily or just love being in love, regardless of whether it could really work out or not? Is the person sending you signs that he might love you also? Is he keeping you hanging? Is this your ex and you still want to be together? Sometimes we can be overly optimistic about how things will turn out in the future. We think that magically things will work out like they do in the movies. Being honest about whether or not the person will ever love you is a big step in being happy with the situation.  Think honestly...

Article in English: Accepting yourself can help you embrace your special characteristics and learn to deal with being different form others. Instead of trying to change anything about yourself, you must first be able to accept who you are and how you look at this very moment.  Begin by defining your unique qualities. Some examples might be your: religion, culture, diet (if you are vegan, etc), medical history, disability, and physical characteristics. Make a list of all of these "different" qualities and consciously accept each one. Go through the list and say or think to yourself, "I accept my religion. It may be different from others but that does not make it less positive. I embrace my unique beliefs and values. They are just as important and credible as other people's beliefs." If you find yourself thinking negatively like, "It makes me not good enough," about one of your unique qualities, think to yourself, "No, I accept it. It is not bad. It is part of who I am. Differentiating yourself from others by thinking you are different may actually help to protect your self-esteem in certain situations. Say to yourself, “Yes, I am different. Yes, I am unique. I am cool and awesome and no one can change that!” Perhaps you see you different qualities as flaws, but they aren’t, they are what make you special. Try to take each different characteristic you have and make meaning out of it.  For example, let's say you have a physical handicap, how has this disability helped you grow? What have you learned from it and what values have you gained? Many people find that their struggles teach them great lessons in life, especially to value and appreciate what you have instead of focusing on what you don't have. Avoid thoughts of inadequacy. If you think, "I'm not good enough, pretty enough, smart enough," change those thoughts to, "I am good enough for me. I don't need to be the prettiest or the smartest to feel good about myself. I am who I am and I love myself for it." Don’t define yourself as completely different from other people. This...

Article in English: Accidents happen, but if you’ve spilled water—or any other type of liquid—on your engineered hardwood floor, it should be cleaned up immediately. If you allow a liquid spill to sit on hardwood for any length of time, it could soak in and damage the hardwood or the veneer. This could also cause a permanent stain. When you’re cleaning up spills, blot gently at the spills to wipe them up. Do not scrub at the spills, or use forceful pressure to clean the area. If you do, you’ll risk warping the hardwood veneer or pressing liquid down into the wood and causing damage. While these abrasive liquids will clean certain surfaces, they will likely damage your engineered hardwood floor. Ammonia and vinegar could erode or mar the veneer surface on top of the upper layer of hardwood. While a steam cleaner can be a useful tool for cleaning a carpet floor, it should never be used on engineered hardwood. The steam can damage the wood surface by forcing water into the veneer and the top layer of hardwood. A steam cleaner can potentially cause more damage to the hardwood than other forms of cleaning that use excess water (such as an overly wet mop). Since a steam cleaner will force moisture down into the wood, it may damage lower layers of plywood or fiberboard. Tough, abrasive cleaning products—such as steel wool or a wire-bristle cleaning brush—should never be used on a hardwood floor. These products will almost certainly scratch or otherwise damage the veneer on top of the hardwood. Although engineered hardwood floors are more resistant to liquids than traditional hardwood floors, you should still never leave water or any liquid cleaner standing on your floor. Dry the floor with a towel if excess liquid cleaner remains after you’ve finished cleaning the floor. Similarly, if you use a mop that is dripping wet, you’ll risk damaging the top layer of hardwood. If the wood absorbs a substantial amount of water, it may warp or distort. Dry up all water after you’ve mopped the floor.

Article in English: According to one study, college students may spend 8-10 hours per day on their cell phones.  Tracking your cell phone use such as adding up how many times per hour you check your phone can increase your awareness about your problem.  If you are aware of the extent of your problem you can begin to identify goals and possible solutions. Try downloading an application that tracks your cell phone use like Checky, App Off Timer, or QualityTime. You can use this information to set a specific goal of how many times per hour or day you allow yourself to check your phone. Limit your cell phone use to certain times of the day. You can set an alarm on your phone to alert you when you have reached your maximum time. For example, you can allow yourself to use your phone only from 6pm-7pm. You can also set up specific times not to use your phone, such as while you are at work or school.  Write your plan and goals down to make them more concrete. Keep a log of which goals you’ve met and ones you are still working on. This concept is called positive self-reinforcement and it is used in therapy in order to teach an individual positive behaviors through the use of a reward system.  For example, if you meet your cell phone use goal for the day you can treat yourself to your favorite food, a new item, or an activity. Instead of going cold turkey and completely eliminating your cell phone use (which can be very anxiety-provoking), begin by progressively reducing the amount of time you spend checking your phone.  For example, start by limiting the amount you check your phone to once per 30 minutes, then once per 2 hours, as so on.  Keep a tally of how many times you check your phone per hour. Use your phone only for necessary communications or emergencies. Put your phone somewhere where you will not see it. Turn your phone on silent mode when you are at work, study or anywhere else, so it won't distract you. Cut cell phone use out of your life completely for a short period of time such as a weekend.

Article in English: According to the American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the level of indoor air pollutants are between 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor levels of pollutants. In addition to smelling bad, these toxins can negatively affect your environment and health. Circulating fresh air throughout your home can eliminate toxins and remove bad odors. Open up your windows, turn on a few fans, and allow the wind and sunshine to naturally eliminate toxins and odors from your home.. Sunshine naturally eliminates foul odors. If you can't open your windows, open up your drapes or curtains. Even after you've eliminated the source of the foul smell, some odors  continue to linger. Air purifiers contain filters that are equipped to absorb these lingering smells. These products can also eliminate indoor pollutants, such as gases and chemical toxins, from your home.  Look for Air Purifiers with HEPA filters. Air purifiers also eliminate allergens and asthma inducing materials from the home environment. Over time, dirt, allergens, molds, and pet hair build up inside air ducts. These materials can emit foul smells and may have an adverse affect on your respiratory health. If you are interested in eliminating this source of bad smells from your home, hire a team of professionals. According to the CDC, there is no evidence to support the claim that cleaning your air ducts will improve the quality of your health. Professionals in the field, however, do assert that it will remove foul smells from your home. After conducting a study on abating indoor air pollution, NASA concluded that low-light houseplants are capable of improving the quality of indoor air. Today, the organization relies on a variety of potted plants to filter out chemicals and carcinogens from their space stations. Like those at the space station, we can benefit from these natural air purifiers too. Use these low-light plants to purify your air and eliminate the smell of varnish, paint, glue, carpet, and detergents. NASA  suggests “having 15 to 18 houseplants” per...

Article in English: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the best way to clean your hands is to wash them with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If you don’t have soap and water, using a gel hand sanitizer that’s at least 60% alcohol is your best bet. Don’t try to make your own hand sanitizer unless you have absolutely no choice, since it’s very difficult to create a product that’s both effective against germs and safe for your skin. Most alcohol that you can buy in a drug store or department store will probably not be concentrated enough to easily make a 60% alcohol solution when you mix it with other ingredients, such as aloe gel. Be aware that regularly using highly concentrated alcohol can eventually damage your skin and make it easier to absorb toxins and other contaminants through the damaged skin barrier. When you’re ready to use your sanitizer to disinfect your hands or another surface, simply squeeze or pump a little of it onto a clean piece of paper towel, tissue, or gauze. Use enough to thoroughly dampen your wipe. Wipe all surfaces of your hands, including the backs of your hands, your wrists, and the spaces between your fingers. Inspect your hands to make sure they’re visibly clean. Allow your hands to air dry instead of wiping or rinsing them off. Rinsing your hands or wiping away the hand sanitizer too soon may prevent it from completely disinfecting your hands.

Article in English: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the safest and most effective form of prevention from Japanese encephalitis is getting vaccinated against it. The four main types of vaccines currently in use to prevent JEV infection are an inactivated mouse brain-derived vaccine, an inactivated Vero cell-derived vaccine, a live attenuated vaccine, and a live recombinant vaccine. Get vaccinated at least six to eight weeks prior to your trip to Asia to allow your body enough time to build up protective antibodies.  The most widely used vaccine against JEV infection is the live attenuated SA14-14-2 vaccine made in China.  The higher risk areas of Asia for Japanese encephalitis are the rural parts of Japan, China or Southeast Asia — get vaccinated before you go to these places to reduce your risk. The Japanese encephalitis vaccination can require several doses over the course of a few weeks or months Keep in mind that encephalitis can actually be caused or worsened by vaccination (any type of vaccine) due to an allergic reaction to the ingredients. Another form of protection against JEV infection is controlling mosquitoes and avoiding getting bit, as the insects are the main vector for the disease. As such, avoid or remove any sources of standing water where mosquitoes can breed and always use an insect repellent containing a chemical called DEET (Off!, Cutter, Sawyer, Ultrathon). In addition, sleep in beds with protective mosquito nets (or other coverings) and avoid going outside between dusk and dawn when more mosquitoes are active and airborne.  Most insect repellents last for up to six hours and some are water resistant. DEET products shouldn't be used on infants younger than two months. Natural forms of insect repellent include lemon oil and eucalyptus oil. Preventing mosquitoes from biting you when traveling abroad will also reduce your risk of getting other serious diseases, such as malaria and West Nile virus. In addition to using insect repellent and mosquito netting, you should also wear appropriate...

Article in English: According to traditional Chinese medicine, the common cold can fall under several designations, but the most common type experienced is the wind cold. The goal of treatment for wind cold is to shorten the duration of the disease and to provide immediate relief from the symptoms. Some signs of a cold caused by wind cold are: cold intolerance, mild fever, absence of sweat, chest tightness or congestion, and runny nose with clear mucus. Ginger tea is thought to help expel the ‘evil’, or pathogens that cause cold. The ginger is also said to promote a healthy appetite which is needed for speedy recovery.  Prepare ginger tea by shredding about 15 grams of fresh ginger. Put the ginger in a pot of 200 milliliters of boiling water, and then add brown sugar to taste. This tea should be served warm twice a day. After taking the ginger tea, you should go to bed and make it a point to cover your body in warm blankets to ensure perspiration. Expellin extract is thought to rid the body of wind cold. It also serves to relieve headaches caused by the invasion of exogenous wind, the type of headache that is experienced during rhinitis and sinusitis. This remedy is usually used to treat the early stages of common cold caused by wind cold.  This extract contains Japanese honeysuckle, burdock, forsythia, isatis, and lophantherum. These ingredients are thought to expel heat and clear toxins. Ginseng and menthol extract is used to expel or eradicate pathogens coming from the wind. This can also help alleviate the stress of cold and damp conditions due to the imbalance of qi. Blue dragon extract is used to repel harmful fluid from an external cold. It is used to treat fever and the chills through sweating, which can help expel diffused phlegm. The use of this concoction can expel or eradicate exogenous pathogen patterns by allowing the body to release cold through sweating. Treatment of this type is centered on the release of the pathogen through sweating, so other sweat-inducing herbs can be beneficial. Chinese medicine experts...

Article in English: Achieving the perfect blowout requires clean hair, so the first step is to wash your hair with a good quality shampoo that's suited to your hair type.  For example, if you have flat, limp hair opt for a volumizing shampoo or if you have very dry, frizzy hair go for a moisturizing shampoo. Rinse out the shampoo, then apply conditioner to the ends and mid-lengths of the hair. Don't apply conditioner to your roots as this can weigh your hair down and leave your blowout looking flat. Rinse out the conditioner with a blast of cold water to lock in extra shine. Trying to blow-dry dripping wet hair is a bad idea, as it will take forever and expose your hair to unnecessary heat damage.  So once you're out of the shower you should blot the excess moisture from your hair using a clean, dry towel. Never rub your hair with the towel as this can be very damaging to the hair and will cause it to frizz.

Article in English: Acid wash jeans were all the rage in the 80s, for both guys and girls. You can easily buy this style of jean, replete with bleach stains, rips and holes, or you can make your own for a fraction of the cost. You get extra points if the jeans are skinny and/or high-waisted! Parachute pants were tight, shiny, long-lasting pants made from the same material as (you guessed it) parachutes. Available in multiple colors and adorned with an excessive amount of zippers, these pants were a fashion must-have for guys in the 80s. Unfortunately, they have fallen out of fashion in recent years, so you may need to shop specialty stores or eBay to find a pair of your very own. "Members Only" jackets were the coolest brand-name item worn exclusively by the "in-crowd" in the 80s.—No knock-off versions or imitations were acceptable. Although they came in a variety of styles, the most popular had a poly/cotton exterior with a nylon lining and elasticated sleeves and waist. The brand is still going strong, but for true 80s street cred, look for a vintage "Members Only" jacket in thrift stores or online. For a more casual look, many guys were fond of ugly sweaters with bold geometric prints and patterns. The sweater should be pretty bulky and boxy looking and is ideally paired with a pair of high-waisted, light denim jeans and blindingly white sneakers. A more reserved, preppier style of clothing was popular with the smart, sophisticated, college-bound crowd in the 80s. This was less acid wash and neon and more polo shirts, dress pants and penny loafers. For an authentic 80s look, try popping the collar of your shirt and drape a pastel colored sweater casually around your shoulders.

Article in English: Acidophilus is a good bacteria that helps to break down food in your colon and protect against bad bacteria. Clinical studies have found that acidophilus suppresses the growth of pathogens such as bad bacteria, or substances that can cause disease, in the digestive tract. Acidophilus is a probiotic that can be used to manage gastrointestinal conditions, reduce antibiotic-induced diarrhea, aid digestion, and help with other conditions such as lung infections or skin issues. In addition to the small intestine, acidophilus naturally occurs in the vaginal area and may also be helpful in controlling bacterial infections and yeast infections. In addition to acidophilus, there are many other probiotics available, some in the Lactobacillus species.  However, Lactobacillus acidophilus is the most commonly used probiotic. Other studies are being done to see if probiotics are effective for lactose intolerance, helping the immune system, and other conditions. There are very few side effects of acidophilus. The most common one is gas. Acidophilus is generally safe to use if used appropriately. Other side effects of taking acidophilus include diarrhea and nausea. These usually go away after the first few days as your body adjusts to the probiotics. Seek immediate medical attention if they last for more than a few days. Dosages of acidophilus can vary depending upon your condition. In addition, some supplements are made with more than 1 strain of lactobacillus that may not be compatible. She will be able to tell you what has been proven to be the most effective supplement for your condition. It is always good to talk to a healthcare professional before taking supplements.  Make sure you talk to your doctor before using probiotics if you have a weak immune system, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have previous GI issues. Inquire with your doctor for how best to take acidophilus if you or your children are suffering from ulcerative colitis, rotaviral diarrhea, necrotizing enterocolitis, colic, or lung infections.

Article in English: Acknowledge the memory and the negative emotions associated with it. While this may seem counterproductive, catharsis is a key element of the healing process. Suppressing a bad memory will only cause it to come up again later in life, and with even more intensity. Let yourself feel angry, sad, embarrassed, or hurt.  If you need to cry or scream, do it. You'll come out on the other side feeling more able to cope than if you tried to ignore your pain. Turn to a friend or family member whom you trust. Other people can offer advice, share similar stories, and even reassure you that perhaps the incident wasn't as horrible as you have made it out to be in your head. If possible, talk to someone who is unrelated to the incident; this will give you the fresh perspective that you need.  Consider joining a support group. Do some research to find a support group in your area that deals with the particular issue at hand. There are many support groups out there for recent divorces, breakups, chronic illnesses, and so on. If you are not comfortable sharing the experience with anybody else, write about it in a personal journal and keep it in a safe place where nobody else will find it. If you feel you need more than a friend or family member can offer, talking to a professional might be the right choice for you. Since the doctor-patient relationship is confidential, you don't have to worry about censoring yourself or feeling embarrassed.   A therapist will be able to help you identify your triggers and learn to overcome them. He or she will teach you techniques you can use to break the hold bad memories have on your mind. Cognitive behavioral therapy has been found to be helpful for people dealing with trauma. Consider seeking out a therapist that specializes in this approach. This disorder can develop after a terrifying and harmful experience, such as being sexually abused, getting in a bad car accident, being violently assaulted, or having a debilitating illness. For people with PTSD, memories of trauma don't fade away....

Taking responsibility doesn’t mean assuming the blame for something, it means being accountable for yourself. As you see that you play a part in creating the quality of your life, so you’ll see that you can fix your life. Remember that you only have control over yourself: you can affect your actions and you can affect others, but you can not control them or the outcomes of what you do. Having a clearer idea of how you arrived in an unfavorable situation can help you avoid making the same choices later. Think of the lessons you’ve learned from the mistakes you’ve made in the past. Consider your social circle, your family circumstance, things you’ve said, things you’ve done. Consider the way you feel about things or if there is anything you’re trying to avoid. These will help with your next step. Make a list of all the obstacles that might be or are keeping you from achieving your goal(s). Think about your own behavior, other people you might have to talk to, amends you might have to make, things you might have to buy or things you might have to throw away. Think about the sort of people you hang around and the things you do together. Your obstacles will vary depending on your situation. For each obstacle, make a list of solutions. What will be the best way to approach this? Will you have to change your schedule? Will you have to ask people for help? Think of different ways that you can overcome the obstacle, if you come across it. Consider the pros and cons of each solution.

Article in English: Acorns are best harvested in the early-to-mid autumn before they have fallen from the tree.Choose acorns that are free of worms, holes, and fungus. Suitable acorns should be brownish with slight tinges of green remaining, though the appearance of acorns can vary based on the type of oak tree they come from. A good general rule is that acorns are ready for picking when they can be removed from the cap without tearing them.  Note that the cap is not part of the acorn, but a (separate) protective covering. By removing the acorn from the cap you are not damaging it unless you  tear the acorn itself. If possible, look for suitable trees in the summer. You'll want mature trees whose acorns are easily-reached via ladder or with a long pole. Some oak varieties, like red oaks, have acorns that take two years to mature, rather than one. As you pick suitable trees in the summer, keep this in mind - the acorns on some oaks will be ready in the fall, while others won't be ready until the following year. " Put the acorns that you've harvested, without caps, in a bucket of water. Allow the acorns to settle a minute or two. Discard any acorns that float - these acorns are bad.  An acorn may float because a worm or grub has burrowed into it, creating an air hole. Similarly, a fungus can make the acorn float. If, at any point, you notice that an acorn is soft to the touch, discard it as well. Soft, mushy acorns are rotten. Take the "good" acorns out of the water and dry them off. Place them in a large zipper bag with damp sawdust, vermiculite, peat mix, or another growth medium that can hold moisture. You should be able to fit up to 250 acorns in especially large bags. Put the bag in the refrigerator for a month and a half or longer - as long as is needed to germinate the new oak.  This process is known as stratification, which is simply exposing a seed to cold temperatures, mimicking the natural conditions that a seed would experience had it fallen to the ground. This primes the seed for sprouting in the spring. Periodically...

Article in English: Act quickly. Immediately after the stain happens, go change into something else and take off your linen shirt. Make sure that as you are taking off the shirt, you do not touch any other part of the shirt to the stained section. This could spread the stain to other parts of the shirt. Lay the shirt out on a flat, even surface. If the shirt is stained on the front, roll up the back of the shirt so that the stain does not spread through the front of the shirt onto the back. You can also slip a towel in the shirt between the front and back to prevent spreading. Take a clean cloth or paper towel and blot gently at the shirt. Make sure not to rub or scrub the shirt. This could cause the stain to get ingrained into the shirt and make it harder to get out. If the stained area is big, start from the outside, working your way towards the center. This way, you can contain the stain and keep it from spreading. After you have already absorbed all you can with a dry cloth, try dabbing the shirt with a dampened cloth. The moisture from the damp cloth prevents the stain from setting and can help you absorb the spilled wine.

Article in English: Actions speak louder than words. If you want to show the people in your life that you've turned over a new leaf, you will need to prove it by being especially careful.  Be patient. It takes time to build trust. Practice being as gentle as you want to be, and continually evaluate your actions. Am I being gentle? Am I being kind?  Do not expect anyone to forgive you. If people do forgive you for past violence, do not expect them to forget. You cannot change the past, but you can shape the future. If you are trying to overcome your violent impulses and become a more gentle person, consider sharing this with the people in your life that have been hurt by your anger. Ask them to tell you when you step out of line. In order to do this, you must be prepared to take constructive criticism. It may be a challenge to stay calm when someone asks you to curb your anger--few things are more infuriating than the phrase, "Calm down!" Bear in mind that your loved ones are only trying to help you help yourself. Your support group can help you make positive changes in your life. You'll be able to share what you're going through and learn from others in your meeting. Look for a group that is run by a mental health professional, who can ensure that the group maintains a therapeutic environment.Look for groups that meet in your area by checking online or with your local mental health clinics. If you are acting in a rash, violent way, you are letting your negative emotions overwhelm you. Embrace your positive emotions and let them guide you through trying times.  It's okay to be vulnerable, and it's okay to cry. You can be strong and also keep in touch with your feelings. Don't be afraid to vent. Find someone to talk to about your problems. You may find that an outlet of support makes it much easier to cope with your stress. Be gentle and be self-aware. If you get angry and do something rash, you may undo all of the work that you've done.  Continually evaluate whether your actions are gentle or violent. Do not let yourself forget...

Article in English: Active listening is important for building strong relationships, no matter what kind. If you make an effort to hear your friend out, but they don’t reciprocate, they may not be a genuine friend.  Pay attention when you’re talking to them: do they cut you off or interrupt often? Do they disregard what you say and shift the topic to something else? For example, maybe you come to your friend with really big news. A fake friend may not want to hear about the news—they'd much rather talk about themselves. and see if they respect it. To test a friend’s sincerity, express some limitations to them about the friendship and see how they react. An authentic friend will be willing to accept and respect your personal boundaries.  For example, you might say, “Hey, I can’t hang out on Thursdays anymore. I really need to dedicate more time to studying chemistry.” or “Can we not discuss sex? It makes me uncomfortable.” If this person continues to cross the lines you’ve set or doesn’t acknowledge them at all, they may not be a real friend. Some friends are the best as long as everyone is on relatively equal footing. The moment you excel at something, however, this person's claws may come out. If they gripe, tease, or roll their eyes at your successes, they may not be your real friend.  Other signs of envy include feeling like your friend is always competing with you, never getting a pat on the back from them, and having to include them in everything you do just so they don't feel left out. A jealous friend may become possessive if you spend time with other people. A true friend should never try to isolate you from other friends or loved ones. Does your friend say "okay" to favors, but then later never follows through? Do you ever feel like they are trying to subtly sabotage you? If this describes your friend, they may be passive-aggressive, a behavioral trait that can really get in the way of real friendship. You won't be able to change their passive-aggressive tendencies, so don't even try. Instead, try to avoid such fake...

Article in English: Adapting a habit of regular physical activity can do wonders for your life. Working out on a consistent basis gives you a lift in the energy department, helps you have a more positive outlook, assists you in controlling weight and fighting illness, and increases your lifespan. Find an activity, or several, that you enjoy and get moving. A few ideas include jogging in the neighborhood, attending group fitness classes, rowing, or hiking. Consuming a balanced diet of real, whole foods can help you feel great and keep your body functioning optimally. Select foods from each of the food groups, including vegetables, fruits, proteins, dairy, and whole grains. Be careful to enjoy certain foods only in moderation, such as fast foods or sweets. Strive for between 7 and 9 hours of sleep each night for maximum health and wellness. When you don't consistently get good quality (and quantity) sleep, you are more prone to accidents, less likely to fight off illness and disease, and more likely to make unhealthy decisions, such as eating junk food late at night. Make sleep a top priority for better physical, mental, and emotional health. Self-care activities are those that nurture your spirit and soul. These activities elevate your mood, help your reduce stress, and give you the resilience needed to get through tough situations. Think of activities you enjoy doing because they help you recharge. You might love taking luxurious bubble baths or getting a manicure. Maybe you simply like going to the park and walking through nature. Whichever activities rejuvenate your spirit, make time for them often.

Article in English: Add 1 cup (185 g) of jasmine rice to a large bowl. Pour enough cold water over the rice to cover it completely. Once the rice is covered with water, use clean hands to gently agitate the rice for 3 to 5 minutes. The movement will help remove some of the dirt and starch on the outside of the rice, so you’ll notice the water becoming cloudy. Be gentle with the rice as you move it around in the water. You don’t want to grind it or press it too hard with your hands. After you’ve agitated the rice for several minutes, pour the contents of the bowl into a colander or strainer to remove the dirty water. Rinse out the bowl, return the rice to it, and cover it with clean, cold water again. Once the rice is covered with clean water, use your hands to move it through the water for another 2 to 3 minutes. Less dirt and starch should come off this time, so the water shouldn’t be very cloudy. When you’ve agitated the rice for a second time, dump the contents of the bowl into the colander or strainer again to drain the water. Shake the rice well to remove the excess moisture. If the water still looks very cloudy after a second rinsing, you should repeat the process again. Continue rinsing the rice until the water is mostly clear.

Article in English: Add 1-2 cups of rolled or steel-cut oats to a warm bath, and soak in the tub for at least 15 minutes. The oats may help soothe the itching and reduce inflammation. After brushing off the ants, immediately rinse the area with rubbing alcohol and leave it wet. Note, though, that alcohol could also make the ant bite worse. Elevate the area and sprinkle a generous amount of meat tenderizer on the area. Golfers sometimes use this method in Florida.  Keep a bottle of liquid hand sanitizer handy in your bag. Apply the hand sanitizer to the bite area liberally after freeing your skin of ants. Let it stay in place. Take Benadryl or equivalent antihistamine when you get back home. This may help lessen the itching and can help to reduce redness. A paste made from baking soda and vinegar may also work. As may vinegar on its own. [citation needed] As soon as you are stung, use ammonia to rinse the area as quickly as possible. This may help minimize the effects of the stings.

Article in English: Add 3 quarts (2.8 l) of water, 2 cinnamon sticks, and ¾ cup (40 g) of chopped, peeled ginger to a large saucepan . Cover the pan, and place it on the stovetop. For a stronger cinnamon flavor, break the sticks into several smaller pieces. Turn the burner under the pot to medium low, and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let the mixture continue to simmer for at least an hour to ensure that all of the flavor from the cinnamon and ginger is released. You’ll know that the tea is simmering when you see gentle bubbling in the pot. Watch it closely to keep the tea from coming to a full boil. When the tea has simmered for an hour, remove the pot from the stove. Next, use a fine strainer to strain the cinnamon and ginger pieces out of the tea. The recipe makes 3 quarts (2.8 l) of tea, so pour it into individual mugs or teacups for serving. Mix in some honey to taste, and serve. You can prepare the cinnamon ginger tea several hours ahead of time, but be sure to reheat it before serving.

Article in English: Add 3 scoops vanilla ice cream, 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) of milk, and 1 oz (30 ml) malt powder to the blender. Look for malt powder, not instant malted milk or liquid malt flavoring. Malt powder provides the most authentic taste. Add 3 scoops vanilla ice cream, 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) of milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and about 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) of chocolate syrup to the blender. Look for a chocolate sauce with a high cocoa unit for the best flavor.

Article in English: Add a few drops of your favorite scented oil to a small spray bottle. Fill it with water and give it a few shakes. Mist your dirty clothes with it before adding them to the washer. Laundry detergents come in a variety of scents, so go with whichever one appeals to you most. However, be aware that scented varieties may leave behind more residue than non-scented detergents, which can lead to mildew in your machine. As an alternative, try using a laundry soap that is scented naturally, without additional chemicals, like Dr. Bonner’s Peppermint Laundry Soap. Choose a scrap piece of cotton to use (such as a piece of an old hand towel, sheet, or shirt). Give it a soak under running water so it’s totally wet. Then squeeze out the excess liquid. Give it about a half dozen drops of your prefered scented essential oil. Add it to your dryer’s load in the last ten minutes of the dry cycle to scent your clothes.  You should be able to reuse the sheet a few times without having to do anything more than soak and wring it before each use. Give it a sniff after each use to judge the scent’s strength. If it’s weak or undetectable, include it in your next wash cycle and then add more drops afterward. Alternatively, you could do the same with wool dryer balls if you already use those. Whether you air-dry them or toss them in the dryer, make sure they aren’t damp at all before folding them up and putting them away. Expect mildew to take advantage of any lingering moisture, no matter how small of an amount it might. Leave the clothes hanging or restart the dryer if they feel even the tiniest bit wet.

Article in English: Add a pop of color and bright flavor to your lemon water by adding a handful of fresh berries to the pitcher. Wash the fruit carefully, and if any stems remain, remove them. You can also slice fresh fruit and add it to the pitcher. Consider adding:  Strawberries Pineapple Fresh berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries) Oranges Peaches or plums Melon (watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew) You can easily make cucumber lemon water by thinly slicing and adding cucumber to your citrus water. The cucumber will stay crisp for hours and can add a refreshing flavor to the water. For a slightly spicy kick, consider slicing jalapenos and adding them to the lemon water. Make your lemon water interesting by adding fresh herbs before chilling the water. Gather a handful of fresh herbs and rub them a little between your fingers. This will release flavorful oils. Remember to wash the herbs before you use them.  Try mint, basil, lavender, thyme, or rosemary. You can also add hibiscus flower which will turn the water a soft pink color. If you dislike the strong flavor of lemon water, you may want to sweeten it a little before you drink it. Keep in mind that adding other fruits (such as strawberries or pineapple) can naturally sweeten the citrus water. Stir in a little honey according to your taste. You could also use agave nectar or stir in grated ginger to mask the sour flavor of the water.

Article in English: Add an equal amount of cold water. Mix the solution thoroughly. Lemon juice should only be used to clean white bras. It can further stain colored fabrics so do not use this method for patterned or solid colored bras. Be sure to saturate every part of the stain. You can use an old toothbrush to rub the lemon juice into the fabric. This gives the lemon juice time to soak into the fabric and remove the stain. Do not wring out the bra, but gently press the water out of it. Try gently rolling up your bra in a clean towel to remove the excess water. The sun is an excellent bleaching agent, so this will help remove any lingering stains. Using a dryer to dry your bras can damage the fabric, including the elastic and underwire,  and leave your bras misshapen.

Article in English: Add any or all of the following to make a richer, sweeter drink:  ½ tsp (1.25mL) vanilla extract for a more intense flavor A splash of cream for a richer taste A scoop of vanilla ice cream to make a banana milkshake A squeeze of chocolate syrup Several dates instead of sugar for a rich, natural sweetness On the healthier side of the spectrum, a handful of raw oats creates a thicker, creamier texture. Dust the top of the drink with powdered cardamom, cinnamon, and/or nutmeg. If you enjoy green smoothies, combine the two ideas. The banana will keep the smoothie thick and creamy, while the leafy greens provide vitamins and nutrients. Banana milk is basically a fruit smoothie already. Expand on the tropical theme with fresh mango, pineapple, or cantaloupe. Add more milk or a dollop of yogurt to keep it smooth.

Article in English: Add any other garments you want to wash hot in with them. Towels and socks are a great option, as they are designed to be washed hot without being damaged or shrinking. Be careful not to mix whites with colored items, as the colors may bleed. Be sure to follow the instructions on the label of the sweatpants, if any are included. Following the provided garment instructions will prevent the hot water from altering the color of your pants. Most washers have fairly simple heat settings. Usually, your options are “cold,” “warm,” and “hot.” Whatever your washer’s settings, opt for the hottest one. During the manufacturing process, the threads that make up fabrics are put under stress, constantly being pulled and stretched. Exposing the fabric to heat will relieve some of this stress, causing the treads to shorten. Many washers have a “heavy duty” spin cycle option, which tends to be the longest and most intense cycle. If the washer you’re using doesn’t have this option, you can use the “normal” or “bulky” option. You want to keep the sweatpants under consistent heat while you’re trying to shrink them. For this reason, it’s a good idea not to leave them in the washing machine for too long after the wash cycle is complete. If there are any items you don’t want to run through the dryer, take them out and hang them on a clothesline to air dry. Depending on the dryer you’re using, you’ll probably want to select the “regular/heavy” setting. On other dryers, there will be a dial, and you’ll want to turn it to “more dry” or “very dry” in the section designed for cottons and other items that can be washed hot. If you’re not happy with the results, simply repeat the process until your sweatpants have shrunk to your desired size.
