Article in English: Sunlight, or an artificial alternative, helps your body accept the awakening.  Not only will you wake up easier, but you’ll reset your body’s clock, feel better rested, and improve your mood. Exercise increases body temperature and releases endorphins that help you awaken.  Try some light exercises – leg raises, light crunches, arm swings –  focused on flexibility, range of motion, and limber body parts. Stimulate and invigorate the body with aroma.  Try one of the following suggestions:  Coffee has been shown to help in the morning, but it’s not just for drinking.  Smelling the aroma of coffee has been shown in some studies to lessen stress and help provide a little boost.  Try aromatherapy.  Some studies have shown a connection between usage of essential oils and alertness/drowsiness.  Other scents, like citrus, increase happiness and stimulate the mind via serotonin and norepinephrine hormones.   Try incorporating rosemary scent into your morning routine to shake off some cobwebs. The caffeine in coffee confuses the brain by binding to and removing adenosine, a chemical that helps regulate wakefulness.  The less adenosine, the more awake you feel.  Be careful because body will eventually adjust to this temporary replacement for sleep. Drinking water in the morning is a good way to get your metabolism going.  The cold water forces the body to work a bit harder to achieve the neutral 98.6 Fahrenheit (37 Celsius) balance. The cold water hitting your skin is a shock to the system.  It also has the added benefit of reducing fatigue, increasing the metabolic rate, and kick-starting the central nervous system.

Article in English: Sure, you can plop that freshly grilled wiener between a couple pasty-white hot dog buns, but why would you want to? Remember that Maillard reaction we talked about? That's what makes toast so good, too. So take advantage of that hot grill.  Turn off your gas grill. It should be plenty hot enough to toast up a couple buns. If you're serving a whole crew, keep it turned on low.     If you're using a charcoal grill, scoot the coals to one side. Put the buns on the cool side.     Open up your buns, slather a little butter on them, and then place them face down on the grill. Close the lid so it warms the whole bun. Keep an eye on them—if your grill is really hot, they can burn quickly.     When they start to brown, rotate them 90°, then give them another 30 seconds or so. Don't let them burn!    When the bun's done, drop your dog in, and add condiments to your heart's desire. Here are some ideas for toppings:  Mustard—golden, yellow, gray, searing, smooth, or seedy. Hot dogs love it. Ketchup—the old standby. Pickle relish—dill, sweet, however you like it. Raw onions—green, white, yellow, or sweet, it's all good! Grilled onions—the only thing better than raw onions. Grilled peppers—is there anything grilled peppers don't taste good on? Cheese—add a little, add a lot. Pepper jack is a nice change from cheddar or processed cheese, though processed cheese has a really nice melt to it. Chili—this makes it a little harder to eat with your hands, but it is delicious. Barbecue sauce—adds to that smokey barbecue thing you have going on here. Steak sauce—tired of ketchup? kick it up a notch. Hot sauce—kick it up a couple more notches. Sauerkraut—yes, it was nasty when you were a kid. Try it now! Pretty much anything that'll fit on a bun that you like. Okay, maybe not rocky road ice cream, but you know what we mean! Enjoy your dog with relish (or any of the other aforementioned condiments). Before the coals die,  roast some marshmallows!

Article in English: Surprisingly, short trips are generally the harder on your car and on the environment than long trips. Next time you only have a short distance to go, swap out your car for your feet or bike.  Ensure that children learn to ride a bicycle at a young age, as the benefits of bike riding far outweigh any risks.  Encourage schools to install bicycle racks so that more children can ride bicycles to school. Always wear a helmet and safety reflective gear when riding a bicycle. to commute for work or school to save gas. Coordinate with another person or 2 that you work or go to school with to set up a carpool. This can help the environment by saving on gas as well as maintenance on vehicles. Work with other parents in your  neighborhood to form a carpool to take the kids to school or extra-curricular activities.  Carpooling will also enable you to take the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane on a highway, which will usually save time and money on gasoline. If you live near your children's school, consider organizing a "walking school bus" instead of driving. Children walk or bicycle to school together in groups, supervised and guided by parents. Neighborhood parents can take turns leading the group. If you live in an area that has a bus, light rail, or subway system, consider taking this option to get to work, school or wherever you may need to go. Replacing car trips with public transport trips reduces congestion on roads and reduces the overall amount of gasoline that is used. Many bus systems in major cities operate diesel-electric hybrid buses, which further reduces harmful emissions. Make errand trips more efficient by planning out where you will go and hitting all of your stops in one trip. This will make your trip a little longer, but you will have fewer of them and won’t be driving the same path multiple times.  Don't forget to call ahead or check online to make sure you'll arrive during business hours and that what you want is available. When you can, simplify your purchases by checking their availability...

Article in English: Surrounding yourself with quality people is a good start towards finding a great guy. Don't tolerate any of the bad behavior in your friend group that you wouldn't want to see in a significant other. This makes you more likely to turn a friendship into a good relationship, or to meet good people that are friends with other good (and totally single) guys. If you're using a combination of bars and Craigslist, that's your main problem. Stop. Most of the "usual" places are where you're likely to find the most losers. Also: weddings, clubs, parties, the gym, etc. All those places where guys know you'll be looking for love. If you stick to the usual spots, you'll be more likely to meet guys looking to take advantage of you. Guys are much less likely to be looking to meet someone at charity events but such places are highly likely to attract guys with their priorities in the right place. Surprise a guy by sweeping him off his feet when he least expects it. A good portion of coupes meet at work. This is another place where guys will not come to prey, so you're know that you're probably safe. It's also a lot easier to gauge who's single! Well, of course, any place of worship will do. Exercise your spiritual side and invite the opportunity to meet a guy with his heart in the right place and with similar morals and ideas to you. If you're not the bible-thumping type, there are lots of churches with more laid-back attitudes that focus on inspiration and practical moral guidance. It seems silly, but just ask your friends for help. Ask them to set you up. Your social circle may have been milked dry, but all your friends know more people than just you. You may be surprised by what they can come up with.

Article in English: Swamp Hibiscus can grow a bit too leggy and look straggly. Pruning and pinching can promote bushier growth and flower production. Once the plant gets to be about two feet in height, pinch off the growing tips so that the plant height is cut in half to about one foot. When flowering starts, you should pinch off the dead flowers. This will be covered in the next step. Each flower of the swamp hibiscus will generally only last for one day. Try to remove dead flower heads every few days to help your plant produce the most flowers it possibly can. Doing this will keep seeds from forming, rather than flowers. If you want to collect hibiscus seeds later in the year, leave a small number of dead flower heads on the plant so that the seed pods can eventually form. They will need to mature and turn brown on the plant before the seeds can be harvested. Cutting the plant back will help the plant to continue flowering into the fall. Right at the end of winter, cut the whole plant right back to the ground. The remaining stalks will be woody. Next year’s growth will emerge on fresh shoots so it is fine to remove the old ones around December. Make sure to use a sharp blade to cut the plant back. Pruning shears work well. You can stake the plant if it is leaning too much. To do this, use a sturdy garden cane. Drive the stake deep into the soil and loosely tie the plant to it using string or garden ties. Don’t tie the plant too tightly against it and try to allow for some movement on a windy day. Swamp Hibiscus can also get support from a tree, post or fence. A swamp hibiscus generally does most of its growing in the spring, summer, and fall. You can use a general all-purpose garden fertilizer. Try to use a water-soluble fertilizer along with your regular watering schedule. More established plants won’t need as much watering as younger plants do. However, you should still check your plant regularly; if you notice that the soil is getting dry, water your plant right away. It is particularly important to keep an eye on the soil...

Article in English: Swamp Hibiscus is a tall perennial that favors a sunny spot with lots of water. Unlike many plants, it prefers a boggy spot where water collects. If you have a marshy patch in your garden that gets plenty of sun, consider planting your swamp hibiscus there. Swamp Hibiscus prefers a mildly acidic soil but this isn’t critical. The main thing is to provide the plant with plenty of boggy soil.  In hotter areas this plant will tolerate partial shade for some of the day but generally favors sunny spots. This plant will also do well next to a pond or stream. Incorporate some well-rotted manure or other organic matter such as compost into the ground ahead of planting. Mix up the soil and organic matter to provide the plant with the nutrient it will need to grow. Swamp Hibiscus can grow up to nine feet in height, so long as the soil is rich. Dig a hole twice the size of the pot that the hibiscus came in. Put the plant in the hole and fill the hole with soil. Water the plant and soil around the hole to help settle the soil and remove air bubbles. Continue to water the plant so that the soil remains soggy. Swamp Hibiscus can be grown from seed if you do not want to purchase a potted plant to put in your garden.  If you are harvesting seed yourself, do so in the late spring when the pods are hard and dry. You’ll need to break them open to collect the seed. Seeds need to be scraped with sandpaper or a nail file to get them to germinate. Alternately, try making a tiny cut with a sharp knife or prick with a pin. Soak the seeds in warm water for an hour, then dry them on a paper towel. Plant them as soon as the last frosts are over. You can plant the seeds directly into the ground, or you can start their growth in a pot. Plant the seeds a quarter of an inch down in the soil and cover them up. Mist the surface with water. If you are using a pot, cover the pot with a clear plastic bag or plastic wrap and put it in a sunny place such as a south-facing windowsill. Germination, or when the sprouts begin to show, takes about two...

Article in English: Swedish goggles are an older style of water eyewear that are still popular with many swimmers. They feature eye cups molded out of hard plastic, with lenses that offer UV protection for outdoor swimming. Most pairs also have an adjustable nose strap that joins the eyecups together.  A 2-pack of Swedish goggles only costs about $15 USD on average, making them a more economical option if you’re not set on using top-of-the-line equipment. Swedish goggles have to be assembled prior to their first use. For this reason, they may be a little too complicated for small children.  One downside of Swedish goggles is that the hard plastic used in their construction makes them slightly less comfortable for prolonged wear. Racing goggles are made from lightweight, hydrodynamic materials and offer a perfect watertight seal every time. This emphasis on comfort will allow you to focus solely on swimming. As an added bonus, they come in an array shapes and sizes, so you’ll always be able to find a pair to fit your face.  A good pair of racing goggles can run you up to $50 USD, but keep in mind that when it comes to specialty sports equipment, you get what you pay for. Since they’re smaller than ordinary goggles, racing goggles may put more pressure on the eye sockets when used for long swimming sessions. Goggles with darkened lenses are the swimmer’s equivalent of sunglasses. Since they typically offer UV protection and an anti-fog coating, they’re useful for blocking out sunlight on bright days. If you tend to most of your swimming outdoors in the morning or afternoon, tinted lenses may be a smart choice.  You should be able to buy goggles with tinted lenses anywhere that swimming equipment and accessories are sold. Like sunglasses, darkened goggles aren’t meant for indoor use. Wearing them inside may make it harder to see your mark, the lane dividers, or other swimmers. Colored lenses let in varying amounts of light, which makes them well-suited for a wide range of conditions. Amber and yellow lenses, for example, are...

Article in English: Sweet Shrub requires little in the way of maintenance, but you may like to prune it to keep the plant in shape and prevent it from growing too wide. Pruning should be done immediately after flowering, which means in the early summer.  Due to the fact that this plant spreads by producing side shoots known as suckers, you can control the width by pinching these off as they emerge.     Thinning out old growth will usually ensure the new growth comes through more vigorously the following growing season.    Sweet Shrub doesn’t tend to be bothered by disease but root rot can occur in poorly-drained soil. To avoid this, don’t plant the bush where puddles form and don’t easily drain away.  If you observe warty growths on stems close to the ground, this may indicate bacterial crown gall.     The best solution is to remove the plant and surrounding soil to prevent re-infection.    If you need to transplant Sweet Shrub, do it in fall or winter. Take cuttings in July if you wish to quickly reproduce from a parent plant.  To reproduce a plant from suckers, take a rooted sucker and replant it until a proper root system is established before planting on. This is usually the fastest way to get a mature flowering plant. Although it has been eaten as a spice in the past, Sweet Shrub is poisonous in large enough quantities, especially the seed. Don’t confuse it will true Allspice, which is best purchased from the grocery store!

Article in English: Sweet persimmons are typically tomato-shaped, and often sold under the name Fuyu in the West. If your persimmon does not match this description, read the ID guide above. You won't enjoy it if you follow these instructions with the wrong type of persimmon. Sweet persimmons taste best when firm and crisp. A ripe persimmon is orange or deep orange-red.  A yellow persimmon is edible, but not fully ripe. Do not eat an unripe green persimmon, which will always taste astringent.  You can eat it overripe as well, with a spoon. This tastes different, but you might like it. Rub the persimmon clean under running water. The peel is edible, so wash it thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, cut off the leaf-like flower and stem. Slice the persimmon into thin wedges or slices, as you would a tomato. The skin is edible and usually thin. If you prefer to peel it, briefly immerse the whole fruit in hot water. Remove with tongs, then peel. This is the same process as blanching tomatoes. A sweet persimmon should be firm and crisp, with a sweet flavor. If there are seeds, remove and discard them.  Try adding lemon juice, or cream and sugar.  For more uses, check out the recipes below.

Article in English: Swelling that doesn’t impede your ability to breathe should respond to at-home treatment. If it doesn’t get better after a few hours or starts to get worse, you should seek medical assistance. The doctor can prescribe a stronger treatment, such as corticosteroids.  You should also see the doctor if you’ve never experienced swelling before. Seek emergency medical care if you’re having trouble breathing, have abnormal breathing sounds, or feel faint. These medications reduce inflammation in your body, which in turn reduces swelling. They’re often used after antihistamines alone have been ineffective at reducing swelling.  For example, your doctor may prescribe prednisone. Corticosteroids can have side effects, including fluid retention that can cause swelling, high blood pressure, weight gain, glaucoma, mood issues, behavioral issues, and memory problems.  For a severe reaction, the doctor may administer corticosteroids via an IV.  Follow all of your doctor’s instructions for taking your medication. to discover your triggers, if necessary. Your doctor may order allergy testing. If this occurs, you’ll visit an allergy specialist. A nurse will scratch your skin with a small amount of various allergens.

Use a cough suppressant only if you have a dry cough. Cough suppressants include dextromethorphan and codeine. However, you may need a prescription for codeine. Side-effects can include drowsiness and constipation. Dextromethorphan is available as a tablet or syrup and can come in combination with an expectorant. If you have a 'chesty' cough and are coughing up any mucus, do not take a cough suppressant, as this could increase the chances of developing a chest infection. Instead, ask the pharmacist for an 'expectorant' cough syrup. Nasal decongestants — either liquid or pill form — help shrink blood vessels in the nasal membranes and allow the nasal passages to open up, giving you fast relief. However, you should avoid oral decongestants if you have heart issues or hypertension, and only use decongestants with a doctor’s direction if you have diabetes, thyroid problems, glaucoma, or prostate issues. Side effects of decongestants include insomnia (sleeping problems), dizziness, and increased blood pressure. An expectorant is a form of over-the-counter medication which clears the sinuses by thinning mucus and loosening phlegm that may have settled in your lungs. This will allow you to breathe easier and leave you more comfortable.  Expectorants are available over-the-counter at your local pharmacy. They are usually taken in liquid form, but they can also be found as tablets and powders. Currently, the only over-the-counter expectorant available is guaifenesin. Look for this active ingredient when searching for medications. Mucinex is the most common brand name guaifenesin-containing medicine sold in pharmacies.  Be...

Article in English: Symptoms of depression can include unexplained aches and pains or bodily discomfort. Other symptoms can include headaches, back pain, and stomach pain. While these symptoms often do not have a medical cause, they can be symptoms of depression.  While symptoms may be medically unexplained, it’s important to look into the motivation of the pains or discomfort. These aches and pains may be manifestations of the feelings of depression, and the individual may show other symptoms of depression, such as low mood or energy, changes in appetite or sleep, and difficulty concentrating. If it appears to be attention-seeking behavior, it may be factitious disorder. For more information on depression, check out How to Tell if You Are Depressed. Obsessive compulsive disorder can include unexplained medical symptoms, such as being convinced one is dying or suffering a heart attack or another severe disorder. A person may become obsessed with the idea that they are sick and needs treatment, and may demand medical tests and treatment. These obsessive thoughts may also have a compulsive component, like ritualistic cleansing or showering, repeatedly undergoing tests, or praying excessively.  A person with OCD actively wants to get rid of the perceived medical disorder, which causes extreme stress. Like people with factitious disorder, they may be adamant that they are suffering from an illness or disease, and may be frustrated when medical professionals do not take the symptoms seriously. Unlike people diagnosed with factitious disorder, they want the symptoms to go away and do not perceive positive reinforcement from being medically treated. For more information on OCD, check out How to Know if You Have OCD. Some symptoms of anxiety can manifest physically, such as shallow breathing/shortness of breath, stomach upset, dizziness, muscle tension, headaches, sweating, tremors or twitches, and frequent urination. While these symptoms are a manifestation of anxiety, they can be confused with having a medical origin.  People with...

Article in English: Symptoms of kidney stones include sharp pain in the sides, back, groin, or lower abdomen, as well as pain while urinating, cloudy urine, and the inability to urinate or blood in your urine. See your doctor for an accurate diagnosis and to come up with the proper treatment plan. Doctors diagnose kidney stones using blood and urine tests, ultrasounds, and x-rays. Tests and imaging scans can let them know what kind of stones you have, how large they are, and whether they're small enough to pass on their own. Water flushes your kidneys and can help the stones pass. Check your urine to monitor your fluid intake. If your urine is pale yellow, you're drinking enough water. If it's dark, you're dehydrated.  Staying hydrated can help prevent future stones from forming, so drinking plenty of water every day is essential. Water is best, but you can also drink ginger ale and some types of 100% fruit juice in moderation. Avoid drinking grapefruit juice and cranberry juice, which can increase the risk of kidney stones.  Avoid caffeine or limit your consumption, as it can lead to dehydration. Try to drink no more than 1  c (240 mL) of caffeinated coffee, tea, or cola per day. While most kidney stones go away without medical treatment, passing them is still a painful process. To manage pain, take an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as ibuprofen or aspirin. Check the label, and use your medication as directed.  If over-the-counter pain relievers aren't effective, ask your doctor for a prescription medication. If necessary, they'll give you a prescription-strength pain reliever (such as ibuprofen) or, in some cases, prescribe a narcotic pain reliever.  Be sure to take any prescription medication according to your doctor's instructions. Alpha-blockers relax muscles in the urinary tract and can make it easier to pass kidney stones. They're available by prescription and, typically, should be taken 30 minutes after a meal at the same time daily. Side effects may include dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness, diarrhea, and...

Article in English: Symptoms:  Cattle with acute acidosis may go into shock and die suddenly due to a result of overwhelming increase in acidity in the rumen. Those that do not die quickly are listless and often lethargic, and wander aimlessly around the pen, or just simply don't get up from lying down.  They also often appear weak and anorexic and dehydrated. Related health problems may occur from an animal having acute acidosis. Rumen lining may be damaged from the sudden drop in acidity leaving the lining of the stomach to be damaged, causing rumenitis, or an infection of the rumen wall.  Inflammation also occurs in the abomasum and intestinal walls, often destroy the villi that are responsible for nutrient absorption from the digesta. Poor feed efficiency, slow growth, poor weight gain or a drop in milk production is often a result of this inflammatory damage.  Occasionally acidosis is responsible for a suppressed immune system which may prevent an animal's ability to ward off infection from airborne or communicable viruses or bacteria. Founder (also called Laminitis) and bloat are also a result of this metabolic disorder.  Founder often leaves cattle permanently lame.  This is a serious case for young bulls that are being feed-tested prior to sale, more so than in dairy cows or feedlot steers/heifers. Bloat is a serious disorder that disables a bovine to release any gases that have built up in the rumen.  The rumen can engorge so much that it crushes the lungs and eventually asphyxiates cattle if not treated immediately.   Liver abscesses are also common in cattle that had acidosis.  Reduced feed intake, feed efficiency, weight gain and carcass yield is often a result of abscesses in the liver. Liver abscesses often cannot be seen until the animal is slaughtered.  Abscessed livers are condemned at slaughter, because they are not deemed safe for humans to eat.  Polioencephalomalacia (not related to the paralyzing human version of polio) is also a concern for cattle that have had acidosis. Thiamine is often a highly...

Article in English: Syncing music from iTunes to your iPod is easiest if you have the music you want already in a playlist. While you can sync individual songs, it's much easier to sync playlists, artists, genres, and albums. Use the USB cable that came with your iPod to plug it into your computer. You should see your iPod appear in the left sidebar, under the Devices heading. Select it to choose what you want to sync. By default, iTunes will attempt to sync all of the music in your Library. Select your iPod from the left sidebar, and then click the Music tab at the top of the window. Check the "Sync Music" box if it is not already checked, and then click "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres".  In the frames below, check the playlists, artists, albums, and genres that you want to syn to your iPod. The bar at the bottom of the window will show you how much free space your iPod has. As you check more things in your library, the bar will increase. Click the Apply button at the bottom of the Music tab after you have made your selections. Everything that you have checked will be synced to your iPod.  The syncing process may take awhile, especially if you are syncing a lot of music. You can monitor the progress at the top of the window. When you sync your iPod, any music that is not on your sync list but is on your iPod will be removed from the iPod. While iTunes normally syncs playlists, albums, and other collections of music, you can manage the sync process and choose each and every song that you want to sync. To do so, click the Summary tab and check the "Manually manage music and videos" box at the bottom of the screen.  Go through your Library and check each of the songs that you want to add to your iPod. Once you have finished selecting your music, return to the Summary tab and click the Sync button.

Article in English: Syrian hamsters are good pets, partially because they are solitary animals, but they can be quite hard to breed. If the male and female are introduced at the wrong time, they may fight. Dwarf hamsters are thought to be nippy with humans, but are more social with each other, and can actually be easier to breed. There are also Russian hamsters, winter white hamsters, and other varieties. If you're buying from a breeder, talk about the different varieties and discover whether they are social or not, to have some sense of the breeding process. It's best to get your breeding hamsters from a breeder, so you have a wide selection of colours and types. It's also good to know the breeding history of the hamsters. At a pet shop, you will often find siblings or hybrid breed hamsters that are less desirable for breeding. Also, pet store workers often have a difficult time telling the difference between males and females. Make sure that their eyes are clear and bright, their fur is smooth and glossy, and that they look active and interested in their surroundings. Plastic bin cages or aquariums are a massive advantage in breeding. Put one hamster in each cage and fill the bottom with wood shavings, megazorb, or carefresh. Try to avoid sawdust, as this gets into hamsters' eyes and can affect their breathing.  Avoid wire cages. Hamsters, especially newborn ones, can squeeze out through them. Get a small plastic or preferably wood "hamster home" for your hamster to huddle in. Fill it with some of the same shavings as in the cage. A hamster wheel is also a must for the habitat. For dwarf hamsters the size can be almost any size, as long as they are able to use it, but for Syrians it must be more than 8 inches (20.3 cm), and it should be plastic, not wire, as holes in these wheels are very likely to harm your hamster. Also, never give your hamster a wheel where it's running with an arched back, even just a little, as that can cause serious health problems. You'll also need a water bottle, food bowl, hamster food, treats, and...

Article in English: Syringes are categorized by how their parts work and how they are designed to function. Common syringes most recently used in clinical practice are called luer-lok syringes. Luer-lok describes the type of locking mechanism built into the tip of the syringe. The mechanism works by securely holding luer-lok needles once they are twisted in place. Using this type of syringe requires an added step in assembly. The added step is to secure the needle to the syringe, prior to drawing up the medication. Examples of syringe types that are designed for a certain purpose or function include an insulin syringe, tuberculin syringe, and safety syringe.  Insulin syringes are intended only for giving insulin. The barrel is graduated in units instead of mls. Tuberculin syringes are used when you need to give a very small dose of a medication, such as 0.5mls. A safety syringe is an all-in-one unit. That means that the syringe has a pre-attached needle, so the added step of attaching the needle by hand is not needed.  A safety syringe also has a built-in mechanism that either covers, or retracts, the needle once the medication has been administered to the patient. Due to the increasing number of healthcare accidents involving needle sticks, regulatory agencies are mandating the use of safety syringes in healthcare facilities. Safety syringes are recommended by health organizations including the CDC and the World Health Organization. A syringe is made of 3 basic parts. Those parts include the barrel, the plunger, and the tip. The barrel is the clear part in the middle that holds the medication. The barrel is marked with numbers and lines in a graduated manner. These help to guide you as you fill the syringe. The inside of the barrel is considered to be a sterile environment.  The numbers indicate the amount of medication you are putting in the syringe in mls, or ccs. The abbreviation “mls” stands for milliliters. The abbreviation “ccs” stands for cubic centimeters. ONE ml is the same as ONE cc. The numbers and lines on an...

Article in English: TANF was created with the goal of helping "families in need." A family, according to TANF definition, includes at least one caretaker and one child, or one pregnant woman. "Need" is determined by state, but it deals with the amount of income a family brings in.  TANF aims to assist needy families so that children can be cared for at home. There are preventative measures provided for out-of-wedlock pregnancy, and the program encourages two-parent families. TANF also aims to ultimately reduce the dependency of needy parents through job preparation provisions. In order to qualify for TANF, you must meet work and income guidelines on both federal and state levels.  These guidelines are usually comparable from state to state.  Countable assets, including bank accounts and money kept in the home, must come to $2000 or less. If the family owns or buys a licensed vehicle, that vehicle must not exceed $8500 in cost. Usually, you will not be required to have a job at the start of your application. You will be expected to work or actively participate in work training programs or other work-related activities while on the program, though. Only those living in the United States legally are permitted to apply for TANF. Additionally, you must also be a legal, full-time resident of the state in which you are applying for TANF.   U.S. citizens are eligible, but if you are not a citizen, you must have a green card, be an American Indian born outside of the U.S., be a victim of human trafficking, be a Hmong or Highland Lao, or be a "qualified alien." Qualified aliens are those who physically entered the U.S. prior to August 22, 1996, and who resided in the U.S. continuously before becoming "qualified" or legal. Those who entered after said date must wait five years after obtaining a qualified status unless they are refugees, asylees, or meet other specific requirements. In most cases, you will only be able to receive TANF if you live with a child under the age of 18, but there are other conditions that will permit you to apply....

Article in English: Tagging people in posts, especially posts that have nothing to do with them, is a bad idea. Even if you're posting photographs and they happen to be in some of them, shoot them a message to ask if it's okay to tag them before you do it. This is especially true if you don't know the person well.  For example, if you are posting your third grade class photo on Facebook, do not search out every person in the image and tag them. Even if you do keep in touch with them, they probably will not appreciate it. Tagging all of your friends in a silly meme post is sure to annoy them. Commenting with tons of emojis, making pointless observations, or leaving cryptic remarks on someone else's post is a surefire way to get on their nerves. Before you hit the "Post" button, reread your comment and ask yourself if you really need to post that comment. For example, do not post a million heart emojis on every single post your friend makes. It might be cute at first, but it will probably get old fast. Do not use hashtags that have nothing to do with your actual post. You also do not need to take advantage of the maximum number of hashtags allowed on a social media platform! Use hashtag and keyword tools if you need help finding relevant tags for you or your brand. Choose a handful of the best ones and leave it at that. For example, Instagram allows up to 40 hashtags per post. Actually using all 40 of them is really annoying to your followers and to strangers affiliated with that hashtag. In most cases, if someone posts or comments something that you don't like, you probably don't need to inform them that you feel that way. This is especially true if the comment has nothing to do with you. Keep in mind that your comments are public and reflect on you personally. Twitter wars and Facebook arguments pretty much get on everyone's nerves.  For example, if your friend posts a music video on their Facebook page, you don't need to respond with, "This is a terrible song." If someone else makes a dumb comment, you don't need to interject...

Article in English: Tags and categories make your story easily searchable on Wattpad. Use keywords that accurately describe what your stories are about. Mention genre, subject matter, main themes, and any other relevant tags and categories that will get your work to the right audience. For instance, if you write war fiction, use tags like "history," “WWII,” and “war." If you write for mature audiences, use tags and categories to make that clear. Depending on the nature of the content, you could use tags like "strong language," "mature readers," "adult fiction," and "sexual content." If you're writing for young people specifically, use tags like "YA," "teen fiction," and "young adult fantasy" to reach the right audience. To build your reader base, you need to publish regularly and consistently. Break up your story into smaller chunks, such as chapters or acts. Choose a schedule to upload your story, such as once a month or once a week.  Make sure you don’t miss an upload date, as this will hurt your number of readers. Life happens, and if you do miss a promised update on rare occasions, it probably won't mean the end of your Wattpad popularity. However, you should avoid doing this routinely as it can cause your readers to lose trust in you. Try to make sure your updates seem worth the wait each time, and especially when you have to take a longer break than usual. If you write your story before you start uploading it, you won’t have to worry about struggling to keep up. Wattpad is a lot like a social media network. People can leave comments on your stories, and you can reply to them. After you post your story, take some time to answer any comments that you get. It makes you more approachable, and it’s more likely your readers will recommend your story to others.  Some readers might post criticism of your story, constructive or not. Accept any feedback you get graciously, unless it’s insulting. Thank your readers for any polite comments they share, regardless of whether those comments are praise, constructive criticism, or a...

Article in English: Tags are a great place to find direction for how to clean and maintain your furniture, but if these don't provide you with what you're looking for, your owner's guide might have the information you seek. Take note of solutions you can use and recommended cleaning techniques. Some common abbreviations for upholstery are:  W: Use water-based detergent. S: Clean with water-free products, for example, dry cleaning solvent. WS: Either water-based cleaner or water-free cleaner is OK. X: Professional cleaning only, though vacuuming is acceptable. A steam upholstery cleaner is specifically intended to deep-clean the fabric of your furniture and is available to rent at most local hardware stores. If you use a steam cleaner, allow your furniture extra time to dry, as the cushions take on a considerable amount of moisture through this process. Always vacuum your couch to remove loose dirt and debris before using a steam cleaner. Vacuum the couch again after the cushions and upholstery have completely dried. Using your carpet beater, firmly whack all your cushions on both the front and back. If you lack this tool, you can also use a clean broom, but you'll first need to take your couch cushions outside and place them on a clean surface. To prevent stains from grass or outside dirt, you may want to lay down a towel or drop cloth before setting your cushions outside. This process can sometimes kick up considerable dust, so you may want to consider wearing a dust mask while doing this. Apply a wet paste of water and detergent to the cushion and allow it to stand for a few minutes and then rinse it clean. If you notice discoloration after rinsing, you should not hand or machine wash. Take the cover to the dry cleaner instead. Add equal parts mild dish detergent to cool water and agitate the solution until the soap and water mix completely to a whipped consistency. Now you can dip your sponge into the solution, wring out the excess moisture, and begin sponge-cleaning the cushion. For most fabrics, long strokes will serve you...

Article in English: Take 2 green mangoes and slice them into long, thin pieces that are bite-sized. This part is really up to you. If you prefer cubed pieces over longer slices, that works too. Whatever you decide, this amazing Hawaiian dish, known as Li Hing Pickled Mango, will suit your tastes. Turn off the heat once the water is boiled. Stir 2½ cups of light brown sugar and 3 tablespoon (44.4 ml). of Hawaiian salt into the water to dissolve it. If you want to dilute the mixture a bit, you can add a little bit more water. Remove the mixture from the heat completely and add 1 cup of rice vinegar to the mix. Jade brand powder is a great powder to use; just add 2 tablespoon (29.6 ml). of the Li Hing powder to the mix and stir it in to combine the ingredients. You can add a bit more to taste if you like. Add a few drops of food coloring until the color is a deep red. Though adding food coloring is optional, it can really make this dish pop and look fantastic. Stir all of the ingredients together until they are fully incorporated. Once you've made and stirred the juice, place it in the fridge for an hour, or the freezer for half an hour or so. Place the mango pieces in a jar, packing it as tightly as possible. Then, remove the cooled juice from the fridge and pour it into the jar, over the pieces of mango. Fill the jar all the way to the top and make sure that you cover it tightly. This is how long it will take for the mangoes to fully absorb the juice. Once you've made this delicious treat, you can enjoy this pickled mango on its own, with other fruits, or with rice.

Article in English: Take a book or something to take your mind off the pain. Unfortunately, you may just have to wait. Sometimes, the pain is not going to go away until you throw up. Be ready as soon as your stomach cramps begin, but only induce vomiting if the pain has not stopped within 2-3 hours.  Though it won't be your most fashionable accessory, keep a bucket or other container nearby. You'll be grateful you don't need to run to the bathroom. If you still have pain in 5-6 hours after vomiting a few times and eating something, call your doctor. Take your temperature and monitor your other symptoms, too. Though motion sickness is a very specific thing, once you're already sick, motion does you absolutely zero favors. Lie down and get comfortable. If that's not an option, stay as motionless as possible. This goes for babies and children, too. All ages will benefit from outside stability when the same can't be said for the insides. If the problem persists, your upset stomach is just a symptom of a grander issue. If you experience nausea for an extended period of time in addition to other symptoms like pain, trouble walking, and rashes, call a doctor immediately. Most upset stomachs resolve themselves within a few hours. If yours persists, look for other symptoms. If they are present, you may want to consider a doctor visit.

Article in English: Take a book outside and read in the shade. Reading is not only an enjoyable break from reality, but it will also help to keep your brain sharp when school resumes.  If you having summer reading assignments, you can set aside 20 minutes each day to read the book. This way you won't have to cram it during the last few days of summer. If you are looking for a book but don't want to spend money, visit your local library. You can check out books, movies and music at no cost. School starts early in the morning for most students. Many late nights of studying combined with early mornings can wear you down. Take advantage of the extra free time you have to catch up on sleep so you can enjoy the rest of your holiday. You will have more fun when you are well-rested and energized. Traveling is a common summer activity. It's great to expand your horizons and see the world. Make the most of your trip by starting a blog and writing about your journeys. A good travel blog will bring your readers with you, so share it with your friends so they can be a part of your adventures, even if they aren't there. The blog will give you something to remember your holiday down the road, and it will help build your writing skills at the same time. If writing isn't your thing, consider creating a photo blog. You can document your journey through pictures. Having a barbecue or dinner together offers a good opportunity to catch up with friends and family. If you can’t cook, just make some sandwiches and have a picnic. Show the ones you care about that you value the chance to spend your free time with them. If you want to polish your cooking skills, you can look into signing up for some cooking classes. Most of them don't cost too much, and sometimes they are even free if they are offered at a local community center. Fishing is fun, relaxing and a great way to spend time with friends or family. The best time to fish in at dawn or dusk, so this is a great activity you can do when you're bored, but it's too early or late to do other activities....

This will remove any dirt and grease, making it easier to get rid of the scratch. Dry the area with a clean, dry cloth when you’re done. Shallow scratches can often be buffed out. Run your fingernail across the scratch. If it “catches” in the groove, then it is too deep to be buffed out. Deep scratches can only be removed by other methods. A mild abrasive, like toothpaste, helps wipe the scratch away. Use a paste variety, not a gel one. You won’t need to put much on the cloth. Just use enough that you can smear it all over the scratch. Instead of toothpaste, you could also try:  Furniture polish. Commercial plastic polish. Baking soda. Take a couple spoonfuls and mix in enough drops of water to form a smooth paste. Go over the whole scratch, from one end to the other. This buffing action is what can rub the scratch out of the plastic. Keep buffing until the scratch disappears. When you’re done, wipe the area with a fresh damp cloth to remove the paste and residue. Then, take a clean cloth and wipe everything down to dry it.

Article in English: Take a deep breath and go for it. Before you get into details, though, keep in mind that your parents have no idea what you are about to say. Be reassuring. Let them know that you are not in immediate danger.  Be clear that you are not in more serious trouble. They will probably be relieved to hear that you haven't committed a crime, for example, and are not on academic probation. Say something to the effect of, “Before you get too worried, just know that I'm not in any kind of danger or serious trouble.” This reassurance can work to your advantage. For a worried parent, smoking may be a minor concern. Don't mince words. Tell your parents that you smoke and that you want them to know because you're concerned for yourself and for their opinion.  Consider something to the point, i.e. “Dad, all I want to tell you is that I smoke” or “Mom, I'm sorry but I smoke.” If your parents are sensitive about smoking, adding an apology might soften a negative reaction: “I know how you feel about cigarettes and I'm really sorry. It just sort of happened. I feel like I've disappointed you.” Keep things frank with your parents during the conversation. Don't lie about when you started or about how much you smoke, if they ask. Give an honest explanation so that they can understand the situation.  Offer details. Explain when and how you started smoking and how much you smoke. For instance, “Well, it started last spring when I was really stressed out. I got a pack from the corner store – they didn't card me. But now I'm up to half a pack a day and it's starting to get out of hand.” Speak calmly. Use a concerned tone and look your parents in the eye. Try not to sound defiant or argumentative. Your parents might be supportive. On the other hand, they might be disappointed, preachy, angry, or all at the same time. Still, listen to what they have to say even if you disagree. Remain respectful.  Let your news sink in and give your parents time to think and react. Wait for them to make the next move and let them speak their minds. Try...

Article in English: Take a few minutes to just lie there with your partner and bask in the post-coital glow. The act of intercourse may be over, but the blissful feeling of warmth and connectedness doesn’t have to be. All too often, people will get up and leave or find something else to focus their attention on as soon as sex has ended, depriving themselves of the small moments of pleasure that come once the immediate thrill has ended.  Just like you use foreplay to ramp up the excitement and anticipation before sex, you should build in some time to slowly and gently come back to earth afterwards. It’s important to take a few minutes to rest and recharge if you plan on going for a second round. Rather than rolling over to claim your half of the bed, hold your partner close. Cradle them in your arms and gently nuzzle their neck or stroke their hair. Chances are you’ll drift off into a peaceful slumber together after a while, providing the perfect end to your night.  If you’re both still feeling energetic, you can watch a little TV, listen to music, or talk and joke with one another while you’re snuggled up. Physical affection is extremely important after sex. Without it, your partner may get the wrong idea and think that you were just in it for your own pleasure. There’s no rule that says you have to talk after sex. Forget about coming up with the perfect one-liner and instead just listen to the sound of your partner’s breath, feel their heartbeat, and try to take in as much of the experience as you can. If you feel like you have to say something, you’ll just get caught up trying to say the right thing, which can come off sounding forced and insincere. When you do resume talking, do it in an organic fashion. Relax, be yourself, and speak only when you have something worth saying. Complimenting your partner on their performance or asking something as simple as how they’re feeling can be a good place to start.  Try not to let your line of questioning come off like an interrogation. You’ll be putting them on the spot by asking...

Article in English: Take a large, fresh flour tortilla. Put it down flat on a clean plate or cutting board so that you have a stable surface on which to build your burrito. You can add toppings like salsa, sour cream, and shredded cheese at this point, or you can wait until you've arranged your main ingredients. Consider heating the tortilla beforehand. Microwave the tortilla for thirty seconds, or heat it directly on the stove using a low heat. Be careful not to burn the tortilla on the stove. You want it warm, but not crispy! Add the egg, the veggies, the meat, the rice, the beans, the avocado – whatever you've prepared. Make sure not to make the burrito so full that you cannot fold it shut! Arrange the ingredients in a thin line across the center of the tortilla, leaving at least two inches on each side and at least an inch at each end. If you haven't added toppings yet, put them on top. Sprinkle cheese onto the mount of ingredients. Load sour cream or salsa along the line. This can be a fun way to spice up your breakfast burrito. . First, fold the wide sides of the tortilla inward. Then, roll up the burrito from the bottom. This should "seal" both ends for easy eating. Consider grilling the burrito. For a tasty twist, plop the rolled burrito back onto a pan or grill to char the sides. Grill on a high heat for 20-60 seconds until the tortilla firms up and grill marks appear.

Article in English: Take a long deep look at yourself. That is you. You are unique and you've done some great things in your life. Smile at yourself in the mirror. Pay attention to the way you feel when you smile at yourself. Don’t allow yourself to ridicule anything about your appearance or personality. Just embrace who you are at that moment. This is how you can begin to accept and love yourself. You are who you are and that is it. Remind yourself of your great qualities and say them out loud as you look in the mirror. This is something you can do no matter where you are because all you need is your arms and body. Think about how you feel when someone hugs you. It feels good, doesn't it? Well, hugging yourself has the same effect if you do it wholeheartedly. It has the potential to reduce your stress levels and boost your self-esteem. It allows you to show yourself the affection that you probably haven't shown for a very long time.  Hug yourself by wrapping your left arm around the front of your chest and over the upper part of your right arm. Wrap the right arm around the front of your chest and over the upper part of your left arm. You should then give yourself a soft squeeze. Stay in this position for as long as you would like. Pat yourself on the back. It's not exactly a hug, but it can give you the same benefits. Just bring your hand and arm up across your chest and over your alternate shoulder. You can then reach your back to give a nice pat. The better you feel physically, the better you’ll feel about yourself. Think about those days when you don't have a single thing wrong with yourself. You are probably in a much better mood than when you're suffering from a headache or other ailment, right? Well, this is why it's important to make sure you take care of yourself. You don't need to be tired and sick to drag you down so you feel bad about your shyness. What you need is to feel great, so you can celebrate your shyness.  Make sure to get at least seven hours of sleep.  Some people need more sleep and others need less, but...

Article in English: Take a look at his comical sense of style. McCoy wore two different jackets. In seasons 24 and 25 he wore a light grey colored blazer with two buttons. In season 27 and the 1996 TV movie, he wore a dark brown two-button blazer. He also wore a silk scarf beneath the jacket lapels (you could easily find a replica one online).  It shouldn't be slim fitting and the arms should be slightly baggy. Sylvester McCoy wore a vest in the TV series and a waistcoat in the 1996 TV movie. In the TV series it was his signature question mark pullover and in the movie he wore a red paisley single breasted waistcoat with no question marks whatsoever. If you plan on making both costumes you could easily get two uses out of the same hat - however, for the Seventh Doctor's costume, remember to turn the brim up as well. "There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, and the sea's asleep, and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace. We've got work to do." - Seventh Doctor (Survival, 1989)

Article in English: Take a look at the space you have available not only for when the ramp is in use but also when it’s not. If you choose to build a portable ramp, make sure you take into consideration any storage issues. Conversely, you may not want to build a ramp if your yard doesn’t have adequate surrounding area for other activities.  The first thing you have to consider is where will you place your ramp when it is in use. Consider the terrain, if there are any obstructions, and if there are any issues that may arise with your neighbors or the city. Depending on how large you plan to make your ramp, your place of residence may have ordinances on measurements or noise so it’s best to check with anyone you may think will be affected. Consider what happens when your ramp is not in use. For example, will you need to store it and, if so, how will you transport it to and from different locations. If you don’t plan to store it, how much more resources will you have to spend in order to keep it maintained. Most likely you will have it outdoors so you have to consider how weather will affect its use. Moreover, when left outside, will it prevent you and your family from utilizing that space for anything else other than skateboarding. Some common places to use a skate ramp are the driveway, carport, and backyard. Ramps can be stored in the open when properly lifted off the ground, sealed and covered with a tarp. Increase your ramp’s longevity by shielding it from the elements Once you’ve got a good sense of the space available to you, plan out how involved you want your ramp to be. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert creating new tricks, the possibilities are endless.  Don’t be nearsighted. Just because you may only be focused on a single trick now doesn’t mean you won’t want to learn new ones. Try to keep your ramp as versatile as possible; however, start small if this is your first woodworking project. A small mini ramp is good for a limited amount of space and can be built into any shape. A ramp strictly for jumps can be...

Article in English: Take a moment to do a quick posture check before you walk out in front of your audience. If you are slouching, you may seem like you lack confidence. Stand up as straight and tall as you can to ensure a confident posture. Keep standing tall as you walk out in front of your audience and begin your presentation. A well-organized podium will help you avoid any unnecessary fumbling as you speak. Before you start your presentation, you should take a moment to lay out your notes and any other materials that you will need. Before you begin your presentation, distribute any handouts that your audience will need. Making eye contact with your audience during a presentation makes you appear more authoritative and confident. Before you even begin your presentation, you should make eye contact with someone near the back of the room and hold it for a few seconds as you give your introduction. Then, continue to make eye contact with audience members as you present your material. One of the most boring ways to start a presentation is to tell the audience your name. If you want to make sure that they know your name, put it on the first slide of your visual aid or at the top of a handout that you distribute. Just don’t waste your precious opening by saying, “Good morning. My name is…” It might seem normal to start your presentation with an icebreaker or with some information that does not have anything to do with your presentation. But starting this way will waste time and cause your audience to lose interest. To get your audience engaged, you need to give them what they came for right away. Start your presentation immediately to make sure that you don’t lose your audience’s attention.

Article in English: Take a piece of leather about three inches thick and long enough to cover the rim of the top of your moccasin.  Cut out the rectangle using scissors and proceed to snip the leather with your scissors into strips, leaving about one inch of solid, uncut leather on top. You can make each fringe the same size or alternate random widths. Take the fringed leather piece and trace the solid part of the leather around the rim of the moccasin with the fringe facing outward. Be sure to have the two sides of the leather rectangle meet in the back of the shoe so that the fringe seam matches the heel seam. Thread your Glover's needle with enough artificial sinew to stitch the entire rim of the moccasin. A piece as long as the distance from your fingers to your elbow will be more than enough. Sew on the fringed piece of leather to the top rim of the moccasin, using whatever creative stitch you desire. You can also use a different type of thread such as colored silk to personalize your moccasins even further. Repeat with the other moccasin. If you want to add beads of any color, shape, or size to your moccasins, the fringe is a perfect and simple place to add them. Simply thread the beads onto the ends of the fringe and tie a knot at the end to keep the beads from falling off. If you want to be absolutely sure that your beads won't come off, you can add a bit of hot glue to the center of the knot to prevent it from unravelling.

Article in English: Take a realistic look at the lives of people who have what you feel undeserving of. Ask yourself if they are truly innately more deserving of good things than you are. No one has any more value at the time of their birth than anyone else has. In fact, a quick look at the news will reveal plenty of people who are materially successful even though they are well-known liars, cheaters, or thieves. If people who are clearly dishonorable can obtain happiness, there is no reason to think that you don't deserve your own happiness. Instead of being your own worst critic, become your own best friend. Imagine that you are speaking with a loved one whose personality is almost identical to yours. You may realize that you would treat that individual better than you're treating yourself.  Think of someone supportive in your life. Ask yourself what that individual would say or do to support you through your undeserving feelings, then say or do the same things for yourself. Conversely, think of what you would say or do for someone you love if they were struggling with similar issues, then say or do the same for yourself. Everyone has different circumstances, so the accomplishments of one person cannot be fairly compared to the accomplishments of another. Your life is yours to live, and there is no reason to think that things someone else has achieved are things you should have achieved, too. Instead of comparing yourself to others, compare yourself to yourself. Look at how far you've come, and focus on your accomplishment instead of your shortcomings as you reflect. Your expectations and the expectations others have of you may not be realistic. You'll never be perfect, so when you maintain a perfectionist attitude, you will always fall short of your goals. As a result, you will always feel as though you aren't good enough. You may never be able to forgive yourself for the things you haven't accomplished until you learn to adjust your standards. This may also mean that you need to let go of the standards others have set for...

Article in English: Take a rimmed baking sheet and press a piece of aluminum foil across it. The foil will prevent the fries from sticking to the baking sheet. It's important to use a rimmed baking sheet so the fries don't slide off the sheet as you're moving them to the oven. Put the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the fries heat up. If you're reheating skinny fries, check them once they've been in the oven for 2 minutes, but leave thicker fries in the oven for another minute.

Article in English: Take a shower, brush your teeth, and put on clothes that you feel comfortable and confident in. Looking good on the outside is going to make you feel good on the inside. This will help you feel more comfortable approaching a girl. If you are wearing yesterday’s shirt and have not showered, you probably are not going to feel like you can talk to a girl. Say positive things to yourself about how great you are and how you can talk to girls. Don’t let yourself think thoughts about not being worthy of the girl or not being able to approach her.   Try listening to hypnosis tapes to build confidence. Say positive affirmations to yourself, “I am smart, good looking, funny, and confident. I can talk to girls.” Stand up straight, put your shoulders back, and smile. Even if you feel slouched over and scared on the inside. If you stand tall and smile, you will trick yourself into thinking you are more confident and you will look more attractive. Simply saying hello to a girl who passes by can help you build confidence on your ability to talk to girls. It might be difficult to have the confidence to approach a girl, but just like anything practice can help you get better. You don’t have to approach the girl you think is the most beautiful or perfect.  Say something simple and nice like, “Hello! I like your dress.”

Article in English: Take a small handful of plumber's putty from its container and work it around in your hands until it feels like children's clay (e.g., Play-Doh). Then, roll it into a “snake” about the thickness of a pencil, and form a ring by pressing the ends together. Press this ring onto the rim of the opening in your sink basin. Make sure you've removed any old putty from the sink with wet rags and a plastic putty knife first. Press firmly enough that plumber's putty squeezes out around the top lip of the drain. Clear this excess putty away with your fingers and wet rags. Without these one or more gaskets that came with the kit, you'll have a metal-to-metal compression connection under the sink that won't be watertight. Follow the provided product instructions regarding the order and placement of the gasket(s), then put them on top of the locknut or bell housing before you slip it over the threads of the sink drain's bottom. Use a large wrench or channel locks to tighten a traditional locknut strainer. Make the connection snug, but don't try to over-tighten it or you may crack the porcelain sink basin. If you have a locknut with screws, just hand-tigthen the locknut and use a screwdriver to secure the screws and make the compression connection snug. If you have a bell washer strainer, slide the bell housing over the sink drain and wrench-tighten the nut that fits onto the exposed sink drain threads at the bottom. Most sink stopper tailpipes only have a few rings of threads to attach them to the sink drain, which makes them prone to leaks. To prevent leaks, buy a tube of pipe joint compound at the hardware store and apply a small amount all around the bottom several threads of the sink drain. You can also wrap Teflon tape around the threads, but pipe joint compound provides superior leak protection for this application. If your sink drain kit has a metal tailpipe, the exposed threads may be on the tailpipe instead of the sink drain. If so, smear the pipe joint compound on the exposed tailpipe threads instead. You want to...

Article in English: Take a sponge and cover it with frosting, chocolate, sprinkles, or any of your brother's favorite treats. Leave it in an inconspicuous place in the kitchen, maybe on top of the microwave or even in the fridge, kind of making it seem like it's your piece of cake and you really don't want anyone to touch it. If you bring it up to him, then he'll have less of a chance of eating it. Then, sit back, relax, and wait for him to howl in confusion when he bites into an ordinary kitchen sponge. This is another fun one. Squish a raisin into a napkin and then tell your brother you just caught a fly. Then, get a maniacal look on your face and start to laugh like you're off your rocker. Reach into the napkin and eat the fly, delightedly smacking your lips as you chew the whole thing. Then, just shrug and walk away like nothing out of the ordinary happened. Don't tell him what you really did -- he'll never figure it out. " This is another gourmet-level prank. If your brother is really into Oreos, then all you have to do is carefully separate an Oreo, fill the inside with white toothpaste, and put it back together again. You can even do this to a handful of Oreos if you don't know which one he'll take. Wait for your brother to take a bite of his favorite treat, looking utterly confused and grossed out in the process. Wait until your brother pours himself a glass of milk. If he drinks a bit of it and then leaves it unattended, then quickly run in and drop just a bit of vinegar into the glass and stir it around. Wait until he returns to the glass and takes a confused and icky sip. Have a trash can close because he might vomit. Just make sure the glass isn't left unattended for too long or an unsuspecting family member may drink the sour liquid! Take a drink that your brother has been drinking (other than water). Put salt and pepper in it––the more salt and pepper, the better. Ugh!

Article in English: Take a tape measure and measure the distance around both your hips and your waist. These measurements will determine how much material you need for the kilt.  For women, measure around the thinnest part of your waist and the widest part of your hips. For men, measure around the upper edge of your hip bones and the widest part of your buttocks. When taking measurements, make sure that the tape measure is taut and parallel to the ground. A traditional kilt length will equal the length between your waist to your mid-knee. Use a tape measure to calculate this distance. If you plan to wear a wide kilt belt over your kilt, you should add 2 inches (5 cm) to this measurement for a high-rise waist. Since you need to form pleats out of your material, you will need a much greater length of material than the distance around your waist.  Measure the width of the "sett" or pattern on the plaid or tartan material. Each pleat will consist of a full sett with 1 inch (2.5 cm) of exposed pleat. In other words, if the setts on your material are 6 inches (15.25 cm) wide, each pleat will use 7 inches (17.75 cm). Calculate the amount of material you need by multiplying half of your hip measurement by the amount of material needed for each pleat, and add this value to your full hip measurement. Add an additional 20 percent for additional pleating and centering to get your total number of inches needed. Divide this value by 72 to determine how many yards you need at double width. Pin the top and bottom edges of the material down, making sure that you fold on the outer edge of a sett on both ends. Sew the hems in place with a straight stitch or use an anti-fraying adhesive liquid on the edges. This will not be necessary if the material has a finished edge at the top and bottom.

Article in English: Take an ice cube or cubes out of the refrigerator. You can use one large ice cube or several small cubes. Then, immediately place the ice cube over the dent in the carpet. Place it directly on the carpet without anything coming between the ice and the carpet. Let the ice melt on its own. Wait for a few hours or 12 hours for a very deep dent. If you’re pressed for time, you can use a blow dryer to speed up the process. If the carpet is quite damp, you can sponge up the excess water. Then, use a toothbrush to fluff up the carpet fibers. You can also use stiff brush to scrub the pile into place. After fluffing up the carpet, use a cloth to gently rub the area. This should make the newly raised carpet appear uniform with the rest of the carpet. The carpet should be good as new again at this point.

Article in English: Take away one cigarette from that pack each day and throw it away. So one day you smoke 20, and the next 19, and so on. Once you get down to half the amount of smoking, or whatever it is, than you had before, you're ready for the next step. Alright, so keep doing half those cigarettes as you had before, or that one glass of wine a day as opposed to two. And get a family member or close friend to make sure you don't cheat and do more. Because after all, you're only cheating yourself. But you may still need some help. Get them to encourage you! Many people do this for cursing. Every time you smoke one more than you should (or cheat) you have to put a quarter or a dollar in the coin jar. When it fills up (which it shouldn't) donate the money to charity and start again. No one likes to lose money, right? So it'll break that habit. Just one cigarette wouldn't hurt, right? Wrong. You know you want it, but you shouldn't  have it. No, it's not right to cheat at any time. Be strict with yourself. Just stop buying it,and make sure that person is still helping you. Make a list of all the reasons why you shouldn't do or eat that addiction, and post it by your bedside, or in your wallet, or just somewhere you'd see it daily. That'll remind you. Or down, as the case may be. Smoke (or curse or drink or Tweet or whatever) less and less each day. Set yourself a goal every week. If you can't reach it, put more money in that jar. Have friends and family encourage you. Look at that list. You can do it!
