Article in English: Much of the struggle of sleeping with an insulin pump is psychological. Keep in mind that it's only about the size of a cell phone.  Trying to forget it’s there or to keep it from your mind may help aid the sleeping process.  As long as you’re thinking about the pump, it will be difficult for you to get restful sleep.  Establish a safe and secure place for your insulin pump before going to bed so you don’t have to worry about its location while you’re trying to sleep. Try not to let your mind focus on the feeling of the pump or accessories.  Instead focus on things that help you sleep, such as the things found in How to fall asleep. Give yourself time to get accustomed to using your insulin pump, changes take time to get used to, but most people find they can sleep easily with one after a short transition. Part of the stress of sleeping with an insulin pump is based on how it may affect those you share your bed with.  The easiest way to overcome this stressor is to speak openly with your family about your insulin pump.  Discuss the insulin pump with your significant other so you can both address any questions that may arise. If you share a bed with your children it might be time to have them sleep in their own beds.  Insulin pumps are resilient pieces of equipment but children could easily get tangled up in the tubes or play with the pump as you sleep. Insulin pumps are designed for everyday use and are surprisingly resilient.  The longer you live with your pump, the more familiar you will become with it and how it works.  Spend some time familiarizing yourself with it and learning what it’s capable of.  Insulin pumps are built to be worn all day and slept with, so they can take a decent amount of punishment with little to no issue. If you roll onto your insulin pump, it will not damage it.  It may make you a bit uncomfortable, so you may wake up to roll over. Insulin pump buttons are designed to be very difficult to press by accident, so even if you sleep on the pump, the chances of causing any issues are...

Article in English: Mucking means cleaning. You have to remove the droppings from the bedding with a shovel and wheelbarrow and level the bedding. Make sure that the place you dump the droppings can't be smelled from the barn or stable area.  If your horse is stabled, clean the stable at least twice a day. Remove soiled bedding. Once you’ve disinfected the floor and waited for it to dry, refill the stable with clean, fresh bedding. If your horse is stabled, groom it daily to maintain its healthy coat. This also allows you to check your horse every day to make sure it doesn't have any injuries or appearance of health issues. You will need to disentangle their mane and tail and gently pick out any burs that might have formed.  With a currycomb loosen dried mud or ground-in dirt. Start by using a stiff brush, then finish offer with a softer brush. Also be careful and use a softer grooming tool with your horse's head and the bony areas of their legs. Give your horse a bath on a warm day. Make sure to use anti-fungal shampoo. Since the water repelling oils in your horse's coat are removed during bathing, you will need to bathe them when there won't be rain, or you'll have to put a waterproof blanket or sheet on them before turning them out. Comb the mane gentle using a wide-toothed plastic comb. If there are any bad tangles make sure that you unpick them with your fingers. Using scissors will make a mess that takes months to grow out. Avoid pulling on tangles, because this will thin and shorten a horse's mane and tail. Your horse needs to be exercised everyday. If you can't get to it, make sure that the horse has the option to walk in a field, or you have someone else come and exercise them. A horse needs space to walk and relax in to supplement the exercise you give them when you ride them. This is why having a pasture area is so important.

Article in English: Multitasking can negatively affect your concentration. If you’re constantly stopping what you’re doing to check an email or listen to a voicemail, your train of thought may get interrupted, which can cause you to become distracted. Instead of taking care of them as they occur, designate a certain time each day to get them finished. Then you won’t have the task on your mind all day.  Try putting your phone on silent for a period of time. If you do this, leave notifications for those who call that inform them of a certain time that you’ll get back to them. Consider disabling the email pop-up on your computer. This way, you’ll be less tempted to check them each time you receive one. You can only stay alert for so long before your mind starts to drift. Schedule a certain amount of time to work and then allow yourself a short rest after. Doing so can keep you focused during that work time, as you know you’ll get a break when it’s done. Set a timer for the allotted work time. This should prevent you from constantly checking the clock to see how long you have left, which itself is a distraction. Start with a 60-minute work block and eventually work your way up to 90 minutes. It may seem counter-intuitive, but scheduling breaks into your workday can keep you feeling energized and productive. Plus, when you know you'll have a break coming up soon, you're less likely to let distractions like social media or non-urgent phone calls interrupt your workflow. Schedule a 5 or 10 minute break at the end of every hour. Then, schedule a longer break every two or three hours. Use your breaks to get a drink of water, chat with a coworker, or go outside and stretch your legs.

Article in English: Muriatic acid, otherwise known as hydrochloric acid, is a common choice for an acid wash. It is reasonably safe for the aluminum and fairly easy to come by. Keep in mind that this acid is very dangerous and should be kept away from pets and children. It is also toxic to the environment.  Muriatic acid isn’t pure hydrochloric acid and doesn’t have a standard concentration. Make sure to always check the product label to know the exact concentration.  Wear gloves and protective eyewear to avoid any irritation. Another approach is to make an acid solution from vinegar or cream of tartar and water. This is safer than using muriatic acid or other strong acids. It is very important that you do this correctly. When water and acid mix, a large amount of heat is generated. As long as you pour the acid into a container of water, the heat will be safely dispersed. Consult the label or manufacturer for dilution ratios of water to acid. If you pour the water into the acid, the initial mixture is very concentrated acid, and it may get hot enough to flash boil, sending concentrated acid spewing out of the container. Pouring acid into water prevents this and protects you from flash boiling. Room temperature is ideal for the acid to remove grime and corrosion from your aluminum. This works out great if you have to scrub the piece, as dealing with very hot or very cold acid could be difficult. You should also be sure that the aluminum piece is at room temperature before attempting to clean it with acid. You can also boil a dilute acid solution (e.g. 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of vinegar in 1 US quart (950 ml) of water) in a corroded pot or pan and then rinse and wipe it clean.

Article in English: Music can have the effect of stimulating emotional or physical arousal.Select a genre of music or songs that have a tempo of 80 to 130 beats per minute.  Increase your heart rate by creating a playlist that organizes songs based on tempo, from slow (70-80 beats per minute) to fast (120-130 beats per minute). You can also alternate between fast and slow, loud or soft songs. Avoid music that triggers emotions such as anger or hostility. Physical exercise can help you develop discipline and self-control. Examples of sports that help reduce tension and positively channel aggression include:  Martial arts, especially Tae Kwon Do and Kung Fu.  Running or aerobics.  Weight-lifting or boxing. You can use relaxation techniques to prevent your aggression from developing into anger. Examples include:  Take slow, deep breathes that come from your gut and not your chest.  Repeat a word or phrase in your head such as "Relax" or "Calm down" while breathing deeply. Employ any of these techniques if you feel yourself getting tense or angry. If the source of your aggression or frustration is another person, you have a right to stand-up for yourself and be treated with respect.  Use humor to counter hostile behavior or unfair treatment. Do not overreact. This will only lead to more drama and unnecessary aggression. Deal with controlling or manipulating personalities by following a negative statement with a question or asking them to clarify their position. This will keep you in charge of the conversation. Choose your battles. Ask yourself if the other person's behavior is hurting you or just annoying. Sometimes keeping your distance is the best option.

Article in English: NEF files are RAW image files, and are different for each Nikon model. In order to open the NEF file in Photoshop, Photoshop will need to have the latest version of the Photoshop Camera Raw plugin. The newest version of this plugin is not available if you are running Photoshop CS5 or earlier, so converting the file is the only way to open it in Photoshop for editing.  You will be converting the file into DNG (Digital Negative Gallery) format, which allows it to be opened in any version of Photoshop. You may also need to convert the file if you have the latest version of Photoshop but the plugin doesn't yet support your new camera model. This is a free utility that is available for both Windows and OS X. You can download it for free from here. Once you've finished downloading it, run the setup program to install the converter on your computer. Once the installation has completed, run the Adobe DNG Converter program to open the conversion interface. Click the Select Folder... button in the first section to choose which images you want to convert. You can only select folders containing images, not single images. By default, they will be saved to the same location that the original images are stored. In the third section, you can set how you want the converted images to be named. By default, they will keep the original file name but add the .dng extension. Most users can leave these at their default settings, but if you're trying to convert an image so that it opens in an older version of Adobe Photoshop, click the Change Preferences... button and select the version you use from the "Compatibility" drop-down menu. If you want to embed the original NEF file in the DNG file, you can select this from the Preferences menu. This will result in a larger DNG file, but will allow you to extract the NEF file again later if you need it. Once your settings are correct, click the Convert button to begin converting the files. This may take a while, especially if you are converting a lot of files at once.

Article in English: Nails are ideal for thicker cardboard tubes, like shipping or chip canisters. Select nails that are shorter than the tube’s diameter. With an adult’s help, hammer the nails through the side of the tube at random intervals—you can hold the nails while an adult taps them into place or vice versa. To secure the nails in place, wrap the tube in a layer of duct tape.  You may insert as many nails as you would like. For decoration, use a patterned or colored duct tape. Using different sized nails will create an interesting sound! Toothpicks are a great option for narrower cardboard tubes, like a paper towel roll—the tube’s diameter should be less than the length of a toothpick. You will need an adult’s help to complete this step.  If you want to decorate the tube, do so before you insert the toothpicks. Use a sewing needle or push pin to poke holes at random intervals into the side of the tube. You will need to create between 80 and 100 holes. Insert a toothpick through one hole and out another. The tips of the toothpick should remain on the outside of the tube. Repeat 39 to 49 times, altering the angle of each toothpick. Coat both ends of each toothpick with a dab of glue. Once the glue is dry, cut off the pointed ends with a pair of cutting pliers. Aluminum foil is the ideal material for young children to use. You will need two pieces of aluminum foil. Each piece should be 6 inches wide and approximately ¾ the length of the tube. Roll each piece into a long, snake-like strip and then coil it into a spring. After you cap one end of the tube, you will insert the aluminum foil springs.

Article in English: Nails that are rounded have a higher chance of growing into the skin around the toes, creating problems.  Use toenail clippers or nail scissors to trim toenails. Ordinary nail clippers are small enough that they tend to leave sharp edges near the corner of the toenail. Optimally, try to cut your toenails once every 2-3 weeks. Unless your toenails grow extremely fast, cutting your toenails often won't give them a good chance to become ingrown. Pedicures can aggravate the skin underneath the nail; pedicure instruments can be less than sanitary, worsening or causing an infection. Shoes that are too small and press on your toenails can easily cause them to become ingrown. Opt for roomier, bigger shoes instead of smaller, tighter ones. Try to wear open-toed shoes to prevent pressure on your toe. Since your toe should also be covered, use bandages or wear socks with sandals. Although this is unfashionable, it is better than having to get surgery. If you get an ingrown toenail and do not care for it properly, then you are likely to get it again. However, you can take steps to prevent that from happening. After you get out of the shower in the morning, and once before going to bed, apply antibiotic cream to the ingrown toenail and surrounding area. Antibiotic cream will help reduce the risk of infection, which can lead to complications and increased pain. After soaking your feet, rinse them well to get all the soap off. Then, dry them well with a clean towel. You may also apply some Neosporin and a bandaid to protect the ingrown toenail area.

Article in English: Napping before 3 pm will allow you to maintain your existing sleep schedule and not throw off your internal clock. Keep your naps between 10 to 30 minutes to prevent sleep inertia, which is when you feel groggy and disoriented when you wake up from a deep sleep. Naps any longer than 30 minutes and after 3 pm will likely throw off your internal clock and make it more difficult for you to go to sleep at night. It can also make it more difficult for you to wake up in the morning, leading to oversleeping. If you struggle with getting to sleep or falling back asleep once you have woken up, you may depend on sleeping pills to get a good night’s rest. If you are taking sleeping pills for a short period of time and based on your physician’s recommendations, they may be useful. But they should only be a temporary solution for getting to sleep as sleeping pills can often make insomnia and other sleep issues worse in the long run.  Only use sleeping pills for short periods of time and for specific situations, such as travel to a different time zone or recovery from a medical procedure. Taking sleep pills only when necessary, rather than daily, can also prevent you from becoming dependent on them. Make sure that you talk to your doctor before taking any medications to help you sleep. Your doctor will evaluate you to see if there are any underlying conditions, before prescribing treatment. Medical illness, stress, and psychological issues can affect your sleep. Many over-the-counter medications have side effects that can negatively affect your sleep patterns. Common medications that can disturb your sleep include:  Nasal decongestants. Cold and allergy medications containing an antihistamine. Aspirin and other headache medications.

Article in English: Narcissists often make comments that are meant to get a rise out of you, but don’t take the bait.

Asking questions to clarify if something they say is unclear, such as “What did you mean when you said you had a bad day?” Narcissists love to talk about themselves and share what they know, so asking a narcissist about something that they find interesting is a good way to distract them from their anger.

Article in English: Natural cork can dry out over the years, leading to oxidation of your wine. Storing bottles on their sides will help with this issue, as the wine will keep the corks moist.  This is mainly important if you plan on storing wine for 10 years or so. However, storing wine on its side is also a good way to save space.  When placing the bottles, try to store them so you don't have to move one to get to another. You want to leave the bottles alone as much as possible. If you have a below-ground cellar, that's typically ideal, but you should check the temperature throughout the summer to make sure it's staying cool enough. However, consistency in temperature is even more important. If you can keep it in area that only fluctuates between 68 to 73 °F (20 to 23 °C) instead of 45 to 65 °F (7 to 18 °C), that's better, as fluctuations can push wine out of the cork or draw air in.  Avoid letting wine stay in temperatures over 75 °F (24 °C), except for very short periods. Wine starts to oxidize at this temperature.  Also, don't let the wine drop below 45 °F (7 °C), as that slows down the aging process. Plus, if it begins to freeze, the expanding wine could pop the cork out, ruining your wine. If you can't find a space that's cool enough, try a cooling unit that's made for wine. In most areas, a humidifier won't be necessary. However, you should check how dry your storage area is with a hygrometer (humidity reader) and make sure it stays within this range.  This is most important if you're storing wines for longer than 10 years. Over time, the cork can dry out if the humidity is too low. You can add a pan of water or even a cool humidifier if the room is not humid enough. Humidity over 80% may encourage mold growth. You can use a dehumidifier if you need to decrease the humidity. If you plan to keep certain bottles for a long time, this is likely your best bet. These refrigerators will keep the wine at a constant temperature and humidity, helping preserve it for the long haul. Since they fit under a counter, they don't take...

Article in English: Natural gas is flammable and, while you should not come in direct contact with the gas, safe is better than sorry. Avoid using candles, cigarettes, or other open flames in the home while you're adjusting the water heater. You do not need to turn off the gas while adjusting the water temperature. This is the gas control valve. It is usually a black or red knob with 2 sides: warm and hot. In some cases, it might also have notches on the side to clearly mark these temperature options. Do not turn the dial completely to hot. First, move it slightly towards hot from where it was before. If the temperature is moved completely to hot, the water may scald your hand. You can always move it further towards hot later on, if needed. Wait at least 3 hours before you check the water temperature again so it has time to heat. If the water temperature is still too low, or it feels too cool, adjust the gas control valve again. Avoid raising the temperature above 120 °F (49 °C) to prevent serious burns.

Article in English: Natural light is good if it isn’t filtered through curtains or blinds. Bathroom light is often bright enough. If you need additional light, use a bright flashlight or small desk lamp. This can be done under a faucet or with a spray bottle. Lice can be seen on dry or wet hair, but many people have an easier time spotting lice if the hair is wet. Working with wet hair also makes it easier to carefully part sections, and clip the examined sections out of the way so you can continue to check the remainder of the hair. Adult lice are difficult to see, mainly because they can move quickly and they do not like light. As you separate sections of hair, the adult lice can quickly move back into the hair and into the shadows. Even though an adult louse is tiny, you should be able to see them if you can read the small print of a newspaper. Adult lice are light brown in color, and are about the size of a sesame seed. The adults are often found near the scalp area, in the hair just above and behind the ears, and at the hairline around the base of the neck. The eggs are firmly attached, practically cemented, to the hair. Eggs are yellowish-brown, or tan, in color before they hatch, and look like tiny seeds. Freshly laid eggs are shiny, and are often found near the scalp. Once the eggs, or nits, have hatched, the egg casing remains firmly attached to the hair. The color of the casing is practically clear.

Article in English: Natural treatments are not strong enough to kill fleas and ticks, so to end the infestation in your home you will have to apply a pesticide. Follow the pesticide manufacturer's instructions to treat your home, focusing on your carpets, soft furniture, and areas your pet frequents.  Use a pesticide with chemicals that kill adult fleas and ticks as well as their eggs. Be sure to read the safety instructions before you treat your house. Your children and pets should not be inside your house when it is sprayed. If you have a serious infestation, you might want to hire a fumigator to treat your house for you. In this case, your entire family won't be able to go into the house for a couple of days, since the strong chemicals used are toxic. As the pesticide takes action in your home, it will kill adult fleas and ticks, and continue killing them as more hatch. It may take several weeks before the fleas and ticks are completely gone.

Article in English: Naturally you practice good oral hygiene, but if you have any doubts about your breath, take a breath mint shortly before the kiss.  Make sure to finish the mint or gum before you lock lips. Be careful, as some mints may leave a bad aftertaste and make your breath worse. Water is the best bet! It leaves no aftertaste, freshens your mouth and does not leave you thirsty. Try to kiss their cheek so they turn their head your way. Once you've chosen the right moment to kiss someone, there's no turning back, especially if it's your first time kissing that particular person. Be decisive and confident. If the person doesn't want the kiss, he or she will let you know, but until then, act as though you're a pro. If you truly want your kiss to be passionate, you will need to set the right mood. That doesn't mean that you have to throw rose petals everywhere and light a hundred candles, but you should be some place without many distractions--that way you can both focus on each other (and your passionate kiss).

Article in English: Navigate to the Flash animation that you want to watch. Firefox is the easiest browser to use when downloading a Flash file directly from a website. This method will not work with YouTube, Vimeo, and other streaming sites. This is for Flash animations and games on sites such as Newgrounds. To download YouTube videos, use the Method 4. If you right-click on the movie itself, you will not find the View Page Info option. You must click somewhere on the page that is not the video or a link. Once the animation has loaded in Firefox, right-click on the page. Make sure you're right-click on the page's background, not on the Flash object itself. This will open a box with detailed information about the site you are viewing. At the top of the box, you will see a set of tabs that can display different information about the site. This will show a list of all of the multimedia objects that the site contains, such as button graphics and banners. It will also contain the .SWF file of the animation. Click the Type column heading in the list to sort by object type. The movie will be in .SWF format, and will be listed as an "Object" or "Embed" in the Type column. The name of the file is often similar to the title of the animation on the website. Select it from the list and click "Save As...". Name the file whatever you would like and click Save. Once you've downloaded the movie, you can open it in any browser that has Flash installed. When you first try to open the file, Windows may tell you that you need to specify a program. If your browser is not listed as a suggested program, search your computer for it. Most browser programs are located in the Program Files folder on your hard drive, in a folder labeled by the company (Google, Mozilla, etc.). You can also click and drag the file into your browser window to open the file.

Article in English: Navigate to the file or files you want permanently removed from your computer. Left-click once on the file and press Del on your keyboard or drag and drop the file into the Trash icon located on your taskbar. This should cause a Trash option menu to pop up. Usually, the two options that will appear are "Open" and "Empty Trash." On its own, the "Empty Trash" icon will only delete the link or pathway to the data in your Trash. This will clear some room on your hard disk, but it does not permanently delete the data, so that data can still be recovered later on if you only use the standard "Empty Trash" option. Press ⌘ Command on your keyboard with the Trash menu still open. Notice that the "Empty Trash" option should change to "Secure Empty Trash." " Click once on this option to securely and permanently delete the entire contents of your Trash from your computer.  Note that this option will only allow you to permanently delete the entire contents of your Trash at once. You cannot use it to delete one or two particular files while leaving the rest of your temporarily deleted files untouched. This feature is only available starting from Mac OS 10.3 and up. Some users may experience problems emptying trash and find a message like, "The operation could not be completed because the item '(item name)' is locked." In this case, first attempt to hold ⌥ Option and select "Empty Trash" from the "Finder" menu. If that doesn't work, something else may be interfering with your trash removal.  Check to see if one or more of the trashed files are locked. Users with Mac OS X 10.1 (or later) should first try to press and hold ⇧ Shift+⌥ Option while selecting "Empty Trash." Users with Mac OS X versions 10.0 to 10.0.4 can instead try right-clicking the file and selecting "Show Info," after which they should make sure the box next to "Locked" is unchecked. If those solutions don't work, read more at: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201583. Check to see if you have permissions to modify the trashed file(s). If not, you'll likely...

Article in English: Nearly all cases of tetanus occur in people who have never gotten the tetanus vaccine, or adults who don’t stay up to date with their 10-year boosters. The disease is not spread from person to person though, which makes it very different from other vaccine-preventable diseases. Instead, it's spread by bacterial spores that usually enter the body through a puncture. These make a powerful neurotoxin that causes muscle spasms and stiffness.  Complications  from tetanus are highest among people who have not been immunized or in older adults with inadequate immunization in industrialized countries.  You may also be at increased risk of tetanus after a natural disaster, especially if you live in a developing country. As soon as you get an injury or wound, clean and disinfect it. If you delay disinfecting the new wounds by more than 4 hours, you increase the chances of tetanus infection. This is even more important if the wound was caused by an object that punctured the skin, which can force bacteria and debris deep into the wound, making it an ideal environment for the growth of bacteria. Pay attention to whether the object that caused your wound is clean or dirty to decide whether you need a tetanus booster. A dirty, or contaminated, object has dirt/soil, saliva, or feces/manure on it, while a clean object does not. Remember that you can't necessarily know if an object has bacteria on it. The incubation period for tetanus varies from 3 to 21 days, with an average of 8 days. Tetanus severity is determined by a graded scale from I through IV. The longer it takes symptoms to appear, the more mild the disease is likely to be. Common symptoms of tetanus (in order of appearance) include:  Spasm of jaw muscles (commonly referred to as “lockjaw”) Stiffness of the neck Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) Board-like rigidity of the abdominal muscles The diagnosis of tetanus relies solely on recognizing its symptoms. There are no blood tests that can diagnosis tetanus, so it's important to pay attention to any symptoms. You...

Article in English: Necklaces, earrings, watches, bracelets, and rings are all common accessories, as long as they are large, shiny, and gaudy. The goal isn't to wear a small tasteful stone, but to wear a shiny piece of "bling." Wearing a single long gold or silver chain is a classic look. Diamonds or other precious stones are also common. The shinier the better. It's commonly disputed where the phrase "bling-bling" came from, now that it is a household term. One of the earliest references was in the 1993 Super Cat track "Dolly My Baby." Hats should have a flat brim and keep the stickers on (but not the bar code sticker). Follow them same general guidelines for the jersey. Hats can be used to illustrate regional pride. Keep the brim as flat and strait as possible, worn at a jaunty angle for maximum effect. Some people who dress in this style like to keep the stickers on the hat, which--like the t-shirts and shoes--suggests that the hat is brand new, fresh, and signifies wealth. Sweatbands worn around the wrist, forearm, and head are very popular. Even if you're not playing sports and have no intention of draining some threes later in the afternoon, looking as if you might be able to throw down on the court is a plus. Get sweatbands in black or white and match them to your clothes. Grills are gold, silver, platinum, or diamond-studded dental casts worn over the top teeth, bottom teeth, or both. Generally, they're removable, but some people have their grill attached permanently. Some can be wildly expensive (Paul Wall's custom grills can cost more than a new car) but some made of cheaper metals can be a few hundred dollars. Wearing a grill suggests extreme wealth, as if you had run out of places to wear jewelry and resorted to the mouth. It's a striking and instantly recognizable look.  The grill can trace its roots to 1980s New York, but became more popular in mainstream culture in the mid-2000s when southern rappers popularized it. Lil Wayne is notable for his ubiquitous grill. The long-term dental affects of wearing a grill are...

Article in English: Negatives thoughts are often unrealistic thoughts about a situation, yourself, or future events. These can overwhelm your positive thoughts and change your view of yourself. If you don't catch these negative thoughts, you won't be able to use healthy coping skills. Having a negative view of yourself can lead to depression.  For example, you might be sad because you were just broken up with. After a break up, most people have some negative thoughts like, "I wasn't a good partner," or "I'll always be alone." If you start believing these negative thoughts, your actions will start supporting them. For example, you may stop going on dates because you think you'll always be alone. Think of the concerns you have underneath the negative thoughts. For example, if you think you'll always be alone, your underlying concerns might be related to lack of self-confidence when meeting new people. While becoming aware of your feelings may not be comfortable, it is important to understand what's creating your negative thoughts.  You might try making a thought record by writing down an event that you wish happened differently or that you could have handled better. Track any feelings of sadness or events surrounding the feeling.  For example, your initial negative thought might be, "I'm a loser since I can't get a date." The underlying cause of this thought might be that you're feeling sad about the breakup and you feel alone since you had plans to go on a date. Simply ask yourself if the thought is the truth. This will lead you to realize that most thoughts are not true, but are just reactions. You might also ask yourself the following questions to challenge and let go of negative thoughts:  Why do you think the thought is true? What facts support it? "I don't even know how to ask someone out on a date. I'm out of practice." What are your reactions to the negative thoughts (actions, feelings, and other emotions)? "I'm scared to ask someone to go on a date with me." How would not having that thought change your actions or...

Article in English: Neutral gray is the easiest to create when working with icing, but you can still make complementary and primary grays.  It's best to stick with neutral gray if you want a pure hue, but you can consider the other two types if you'd prefer a tinted gray. Since readily available packages of liquid food color come with red, yellow, green, and blue, you'll need to create primary (red, yellow, blue) gray or complementary (red and green) gray if you plan to use standard liquid food coloring. If you buy specialty gel or paste food coloring, however, you can create any of the three types since these food colorings have a wider variety of color options.

Article in English: Never break up with somebody unless you are okay with the possibility that you may never get back together. Even if you do change your mind after the breakup and agree to get back together, you will have created lasting damage to the relationship that may be irreparable. Breaking up can be very emotional for everyone involved. Do not expect to be fast friends immediately after the breakup. You must decide whether your relationship is worth ending.You have to think about the future for not only yourself, but also your partner.  Never avoid breaking up with somebody because you are afraid of being single. The only way you can find the right person for you is to get out there and be on your own. Never avoid breaking up with somebody because you are afraid of hurting their feelings. Breaking up may seem cruel, but continuing to be with somebody you are not in love with anymore is even worse.  Don't suggest a "break." Breaks are usually just a segue into a full-on breakup; if you feel that you need a break from the person you're with, then chances are that you actually want to break up but are too afraid of being alone. Rather than asking for a break, wait until you're ready to fully end the relationship and then do it. If you live together, then decide on who will move out and who will stay (of course, you may want to leave this open to discussion). If you expect your partner to move out, you will need to allow ample time for them to find other living arrangements, and should find somewhere else to stay during that time.  Ask your parents or close friends whether you can stay with them for a few days, or rent a room at a hotel for a couple of nights. If you don't live together but see each other daily at either work or school, then you will need to consider whether it's worth re-adjusting your schedule/circumstances. If you think that seeing each other on a regular basis is going to make moving on difficult, then consider changing jobs or rearranging your class schedule to avoid having to constantly interact with...

Article in English: Never defrost a steak in the microwave. It should be slowly defrosted in a refrigerator overnight. This will help the spices cling to the surface evenly. Salt will create a crust, but putting it on too early will make the juice run out of it. Use up to 1 tsp. (6g) of salt per side for a large steak.  Ultimately, the amount of salt and pepper you use will be to taste. Use what you feel is a generous amount. Freshly cracked pepper and flaked sea salt will produce the best flavor. This will help in determining cooking time later on. A one-inch (2.5-cm) cut will need less time than a 2-inch (5-cm) cut and so on. Steaks that tend to be best at medium rare doneness are usually on the thicker side.

Article in English: Never harvest more than 1/3 of the leaves at once and allow the plant to regrow before harvesting more. You can just harvest as much mint as you need at a time. If you want to air-dry your mint, then you should hang the stems upside down. Separate them into bundles secured with some string or a rubber band or spread them on a flat surface. When the leaves and stems feel crispy and dry, pluck off the leaves and put them into jars, Ziploc bags, or plastic containers with lids. The roots will survive the frost and regrow the following spring, but the above-ground plant matter will die off. Protect your mint roots by covering the plants with a layer of mulch before winter. To harvest the leaves, you should pinch off the stems. If you have a larger harvest, then wait until right before the plant blooms and cut the whole plant just above the first or the second set of leaves. Typically, you can harvest a larger harvest of mint about three times a season. There are endless uses for mint, and you can do whatever you like with it. However, there are some typical uses of mint that you should be aware of. Here are some great ways to use it:   Serve it as a compliment to fish, chicken, lamb, or another protein dish. Use it to spice up veggies such as carrots, peas, and potatoes. Spice up salads such as fruit salads, fig and radish salads, or walnut and goat cheese salads. Use them in drinks such as iced tea, punch, or lemonade. Use the mint in cocktails, such as the mojito or the mint julep.

Article in English: Never hit, shout, chase, or lose your temper with a cat. You will simply terrify the cat and cause it to become nervous and confused. Never call a cat to you and then punish it. The cat hasn't got a clue why you're responding negatively to him. In fact, the cat probably expects a pleasant response if you call it. The first thing to do is stop touching the cat and then hold your hands well out of striking range. If he doesn't calm down within a few seconds, stand up slowly so you can remove him from your lap. Walk away and do not return until he has calmed down. Avoid soothing your cat after biting or scratching. Instead, signal your displeasure to the cat. After you've disciplined it, do not begin cuddling and petting him. This will confuse your cat and give him mixed signals. It may even begin biting you in order to get a cuddle. If you are trying to get from one room to another and a hissing, snarling cat blocks the way, look at the situation from his viewpoint. The cat believes he is trapped and you are walking towards him, which he perceives as a threat. He wants to run but there is no escape route so he must defend himself by attacking. The simple solution is to step aside, let the cat pass (which he will do at speed) and then go about your way. Don't feed your cat for 20 minutes following a biting or scratching incident, as this might be wrongly taken as a reward. Cats respond best to positive reinforcement, namely praising and rewarding appropriate behavior, while ignoring and withdrawing from inappropriate behavior. Hand the cat a catnip mouse to bite instead of you. Then, praise the cat for biting the toy. As soon as the cat bites or scratches, say "NO!" in an authoritative tone. At the same time, point your finger at the cat. Stare at the cat directly with an unimpressed or fierce look. Stares are regarded in the cat world as a threat of dominance. It also helps to remove yourself from the cat's vicinity after doing this, or to ignore him for about 10 minutes. When your cat bites or scratches, clap...

Article in English: Never keep your diary on a public computer or online where someone could find it. The best spot is on the desktop of your laptop. If your parents or siblings use your laptop sometimes, set up a different login for them. You can create a guest login so they don't have access to your personal files. Give your diary a name that disguises what it actually is. Then save it in a folder that no one would ever look in, like the system folder under the “My Computer” tab.  For example, instead of naming your file "My Diary," name it something like “Biology Homework” instead. On some computers, you can hide entire folders, too. Right-click on the folder, then select "Properties." There will be a box labeled "Hidden" or something similar that you can check. Now, nobody can see the folder. Set the privacy controls on your laptop so a password is required for you to log into the computer. If you type your diary in a Microsoft Word document, you can password-protect that specific file, too. To password-protect a document, click “Preferences” on the main menu, then “Personal Settings” followed by “Security.” Select “Password to Open” to require someone to know the password to even open the file.

Article in English: Never lie simply to keep a woman interested. If you’re only looking for casual hookups, let her know. You may be surprised to find that she’s also interested in that.  You can ask her what she’s looking for before you disclose your own interests. You can say, “So we’ve never talked about what we're each looking for. I’m curious what you think about that.” Choose an opportune moment and keep it casual. If the subject of past relationships or future plans comes up, you can say something like, “Since then I haven’t been ready for a girlfriend” or, “I have a hard time imagining being ready to settle down any time soon.” It’s much easier to date multiple people if you feel casually about them. Once deeper feelings get involved, people may feel jealous or require more emotional support.  Eventually, you may develop strong feelings for one or more women. If this happens, you’ll need to be honest with yourself and the people you’re dating. Casual doesn’t mean callous. You should always treat the women you’re dating with respect and consideration, no matter how casual the relationship. Sometimes, the way that you present something can have a big influence on how it’s received. If you appear to be direct and honest, women are more likely to be open to a non-exclusive relationship.  Respond to texts or calls relatively quickly. If she senses that you’re too busy or disinterested to be in touch, she may feel disrespected. It also may seem like a sign that you’re not being forthright. Don’t share unnecessary information. For example, if she asks if you’re free on Friday, you can say that you “have plans” rather than saying, “I have a date with someone else.” If she presses you to find out whom you have plans with, or what you’re doing, you should be honest. But don’t give more information than she specifically asks for. This goes for the women you’re dating as well as the other people in your life. Your family or coworkers may not understand your need to date multiple women. Never lie about your situation, but keep the...

Article in English: Never talk down to people you truly value or respect. The purpose of being arrogant is to "tone down" or silence your critics or those who are a little bit more happy with themselves than they should be. It is also one means of keeping a workplace enthralled with you, but it can backfire. It's probably best to never act super-arrogant around:  Your boss Coaches Your parents Service staff Dates There's a fine line between arrogance and being a straight-up jerk. Being arrogant does not mean being rude and forgetting basic manners and etiquette around others. Besides, basic manners serve as the means by which you maintain your aloofness and keep others distant in a socially acceptable way.  Never talk down to wait-staff or other service workers in the interest of cultivating your arrogance. This will make you look weak, petty, and immature. Forgetting someone's name might seem like a good way to take them down a peg, but it really just makes you look like a jerk. Respect people enough to treat them with common dignity, up to the point that you dominate them in competition. If you claim to be superior in an area in which you lack the skills or expertise, your arrogance will fall apart and lose its effect. You'll just look like a fool. Make sure to avoid conflicts and confrontations, any competition, in which you don't have at least a sporting chance of winning. It's good to learn to lose, so you don't end up looking like a cry-baby after a close loss. Learn to lose with dignity, because no matter how arrogant your self-image, it's going to happen eventually. Arrogance should be a type of self-improvement. Think of Michael Jordan and Steve Jobs, arrogant people who came, saw, and conquered, not the arrogance of has-beens. Let your arrogant image of yourself motivate you and force you to new heights. Always do what you say you will do. You've got to live up to the hype that you set for yourself, or you'll just come off like an ego-inflated loser, just like any other. When it's your turn on the field of competition,...

Article in English: Never talk to your parents when they are angry or stressed--they'll be less likely to listen to your arguments, and even less likely to say yes to your requests. Plan ahead of time and choose a time that allows for a conversation that isn't tense or rushed.  Plan ahead of time by choosing both a time and place that will make you relaxed and comfortable. It also helps to plan what you will say ahead of time. Choose your arguments, research your topics, and even write out a script to prepare yourself. Although it may be a topic about which you're passionate, avoid getting angry or begging. Try to speak in a level tone without raising your voice, and make sure you present your arguments--by stating the facts, you're able to avoid emotional appeals.  Avoid raising your voice, whining, interrupting, storming off, and slamming doors.  If your emotions start to get the best of you, take a deep breath and take a small break from the conversation. Come back to it only when you are composed and ready to continue. I statements help you to make an assertive statement without the receiving party becoming defensive and closed off. Listen to your parents' argument, describe how you feel, how the decision affects you, and how you hope for it to change.  For example, you can start the conversation by saying "I feel that I'm mature enough to grow out my hair." Follow it up with "I feel like a child when I'm not allowed to make decisions about my personal style." Lastly say something like, "I would like to grow my hair out to prove to you that I am still a responsible and mature individual." Be willing to "meet in the middle." Not only does compromising show that you are mature, but it can keep both parties happy. Promise that you won't grow your hair any longer than shoulder length, or agree that you won't add any wild colors or styles.  Promise that you'll get your hair cut every once in a while, trim dead ends, keep your hair looking nice, etc. Remind them, that long hair can always be cut, so it's not like you're trying to...

Article in English: New ingrown hair scars often have a red appearance, which is due to inflammation. Cortisone creams can reduce the redness of a new ingrown hair scar by reducing inflammation. You can purchase cortisone cream without a prescription.  Make sure that you read and follow the package instructions for use. Check with your dermatologist if you are unsure about how much or how often to use the cream. Do not use cortisone cream on broken skin. Make sure that the ingrown hair has completely healed before using cortisone cream. These types of ingrown hairs are usually are result of shaving.  Make sure you use a lubricant when shaving.  These lesions are often known as “razor bumps” or “shave bumps.” Ingrown hair scars can cause a dark-colored scar and lightening creams can help to reduce this darkness. Talk to your doctor before you start using a lightening cream and only purchase lightening creams that contain natural lightening agents. Avoid products that include hydroquinone because this product has a carcinogenic effect and it can also irritate your skin. Look for a lightening cream that contains one of the following ingredients instead:  Kojic acid (derived from mushrooms) Arbutin (sometimes listed as bearberry extract) Vitamin C Picking at ingrown hair scars (or ingrown hairs) can lead to irritation, infection, and an increased risk of scarring. To minimize these risks, do not pick, pop, or squeeze any ingrown hair scars or ingrown hairs. Allow them to heal on their own. If you are concerned about the look of an ingrown hair scar or ingrown hair, then make an appointment to see your dermatologist. Also check out this article How to Remove and Ingrown Hair. Too much sun exposure can cause scars to darken and it can also slow down healing, so try not to spend much time in the sun. If you must be outside, protect your skin with an SPF 30 sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat. The sun is most powerful between the hours of 10am and 4pm. Try not to go outside at all during these hours.

Article in English: Newborn puppies provide the perfect host for fleas — they are warm, produce moisture and provide blood for food. Unfortunately, there are no flea products that are safe for use on newborn pups. This is because puppies' internal organs are more delicate than those of older dogs and therefore more prone to adverse side effects caused by the anti-flea medications.  Depending on the medication, these side effects may include excessive salivation, vomiting, respiratory issues and either over-sensitivity to stimulation or profound depression. Some anti-flea products will be clearly marked as unsuitable for puppies on the label. Other products have never been tested on puppies, so the manufacturers advise against using them.   In particular, stay away from pet shop products that contain permethrins, as these are not safe for use in youngsters. Puppies' metabolisms are too immature and are unable to break down the permethrins, which can build up in the puppies' systems and cause neurological damage resulting in excessive shaking, drooling, paralysis or even seizures. Pet shop products that don't contain permethrin are unlikely to be effective and are a waste of money. As there are no commercial or prescription products suitable for use on young puppies, the only solution is to keep the puppy clean and try to remove any fleas manually. To bathe the puppy:  Place a few inches of warm water into a sink or basin. The water should be approximately the same temperature you'd use to bathe a baby. Place the puppy in the water, using your hand to support its head and keep it above the water. Use your hand to scoop water over the puppy's coat until it is completely wet. Lift the puppy out of the water and place him on a clean, warm towel. Gently rub the puppy with the towel to remove excess water. Place the puppy on a dry towel on a flat surface. Use a flea comb to groom the puppy's damp fur and remove any fleas.  Flea combs have teeth that are very close together and work by physically pulling fleas out of the fur. Start at...

Article in English: Newspapers can report on happenings for a school, community or neighborhood, or organization. They can be local, regional, national or international in scope. Determine who your audience is and why you want to publish this newspaper. Be realistic about your reach. If you want to publish nationally, think about how you will reach your audience and convince them to read your paper. Newspapers can be published daily, weekly, monthly, or even less frequently. Think about how frequently your readers will want news. Think too about how you will be able to handle publishing as frequently as you would like. Do you have the staff to support frequent publishing? Are you doing everything yourself? Consider starting publishing less frequently and as your newspaper builds its readership and financial support, you can switch to a more frequent schedule. Circulation is the reach of your paper, or how many copies you will print and circulate. If you are publishing online, circulation numbers are measured in how many people visit and read your online newspaper. Think about how many copies you can afford to publish and how you can realistically distribute them. Choose a number of pages and size of the page for your newspaper. Newspaper pages are typically printed in multiples of 4, with smaller papers running about 8 pages, and larger newspapers running more pages than that. Think about how many sections you’d like in your paper (news, opinion, etc.) and how many pages to devote to each of these. Newspapers can be printed in hard copy, but increasingly, newspapers are turning to an exclusively online format. If you do print in hard copy, consider also offering some of your stories online, or at least having some kind of online presence. Consider too if you are publishing any of your pages in color or black and white . Online printing is in full color, but physical printing will cost more if you add colors. Talk with a printer to find out your options. Most newspapers are funded a combination of advertising and subscriptions or...

Article in English: Next to drowning, hypothermia is the biggest threat to your survivor after a shipwreck. This is because exposure to cold water will lower your body temperature. If your body temperature gets too low, your body will eventually shut down and you will die.  If you’re in the water with a flotation device and not on a raft, hug your knees to your chest. This will help maintain body warmth. If you’re with others in the water or in a raft, stay close together, and hug each other. Keep your clothes on. Even if they’re soaked, they’ll help maintain your body temperature. Next to hyperthermia and drowning, one of the biggest dangers on the open water are sharks. Sharks are especially dangerous around shipwrecks because they’re attracted to blood from injured people and by the fish that gather around floating objects on the surface of the water.   Avoid splashing around. This will minimize the attention that you draw to yourself and your group. If someone has an open wound, do your best to stop the bleeding. Blood will draw fish and sharks from great distances. Once you’re relatively safe and stable on the water, you should look start to look for land. If you don’t find land, you’re chances of survival will drop every day as your supplies slowly disappear. There are many ways you can find land:  Estimate your position based on your last known position. You can do this using charts, maps, or the stars. Look for signs of land like the presence of birds, driftwood, or trash. If you see birds, look at the direction they come from and fly toward. Try to visually spot land on the horizon. Depending on you distance, it could be hard to spot, but you should try. If you find yourself in need of water and have a few basic supplies, you may be able to create some. Take a plastic tarp and set it out across your raft or lifeboat. Use it to collect rainwater. In addition, if there isn’t rain, you may be able to collect condensation off of it in the morning. Never drink salt water. It will dehydrate you. Instead, turn salt water into...

Article in English: Next, you will need to remove the wheel, which requires lifting the vehicle. Consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the correct spot to jack up your car, and ensure that you pick a spot on the frame and not the much more fragile body. Double-check that the vehicle is in park and that the parking brake is engaged before jacking up the vehicle. Once you have the vehicle lifted enough to place your jack stand, ease it back down onto the stand, which is more stable than the jack alone. If you have concerns about using jack stands, consult Use Jack Stands for more information. The lug nuts securing the wheel will already be exposed from when you removed the hubcap. Remove the lug nuts and the wheel the same way you would if you were changing a tire. If you need guidance for this step, you can consult Change a Tire for assistance. Once the wheel is off, the brake caliper and brake rotor will be clearly visible. The caliper housing is the larger piece attached to the outside of the rotor.  The caliper will be held in place on the rear side of the rotor by bolts in a mounting bracket. The specific configuration will depend on your make and model year vehicle. The mounting bracket most commonly uses 17mm bolts. Since the caliper is connected to your vehicle’s brake line, you want to keep slack in the brake line instead of letting it hang. You can easily suspend the caliper from a short bungee cord to keep it out of your way without putting too much stress on the brake line. The outer tie rod is literally a rod bolted to the steering knuckle, which is just behind the rotor. This piece will likely be bolted with another 17mm bolt.  Like the axle nut, this bolt may be held in place with a cotter pin. Penetrating lubricant may help you more easily remove the pin and bolt. The tie rod may still be pretty snug in the steering knuckle even after removing the bolt. Tape the steering knuckle joint with a hammer (hitting the knuckle where the rod goes through and not the threaded portion of the tie rod) to help remove it....

Article in English: Nicki Minaj didn't get where she is now overnight, and didn't get there based on her looks alone. She got there with some serious hustle, grabbing people's attention on the microphone. If you want to rap like her, you've got to study the craft, devote yourself to hip-hop, and rap all the time.  Put your favorite Nicki tracks on your iPod or on your phone and walk around with them, rapping along silently. When you get back home, leave the track quiet and try to rap it by yourself. Keep practicing until you get it perfect. Try to find a place you can practice rhyming in quiet, so you can focus on improving. You might want to rush and show your friends as soon as possible, but take the time to make sure you're really good and talented first, so they'll be blown away. Rapping is about a lot more than rhyming words. Finding the flow that will work alongside different beats and structuring your rap with the beat is a critical part of being a good rapper. Even if you write great lyrics and do a great Nicki impression, being a Nicki-level rapper isn't possible without flow. One good way of learning about flow is checking out other rappers versions of a song on free mixtape, or on YouTube. Check out Nicki freestyling over labelmate Lil Wayne's "A Milli" to see how her flow differs from his. To keep your rhymes organized, start a rhyming journal where you can keep track of good rhyming words, good lines, and start building up your Nicki-style songs.  If you don't want to carry around a bulky journal all the time, keep your notes organized on your phone or some other mobile device for your rhymes. Keep them clearly labeled so you don't have to hunt around for those nasty rhymes you wrote last weekend. Even if you think of yourself as a freestyle rapper, it's a good idea to keep track of your best rhymes and keep working on them. This doesn't make you a worse freestyle rapper, it makes you a smarter one. If you're an aspiring rapper, this is an essential way to get started and eventually building up your ability to...

Article in English: Nicotine constricts the blood vessels in your skin causing it to get less oxygen and nutrients. Other chemicals in cigarettes harm the collagen and elastin in your skin making it weaker and less stretchy. This causes wrinkling and sagging.  As the skin of your breasts loses elasticity, your breasts will sag even if you are still young. If you already smoke, quitting will still help. Many resources are available to help you quit, including support groups, hotlines, and nicotine replacement therapies. Low V-neck shirts are cool and sexy during the hot summer months, but they also expose the skin above your breasts to harmful ultraviolet radiation. UV rays damage the collagen and elastin which are vital to the skin’s connective tissues. This makes the skin less supple and prone to sagging.  Apply sunscreen when you will be outside for long periods of time, even if it is cloudy. Clouds do not prevent you from being exposed to UV rays. Avoid dark tans. While tanning might help protect you against sunburns, your skin is still absorbing UV rays and sustaining damage. Sweat and dirt may collect on an around your breasts. You can care for your skin by:  Removing dirt and sweat either by showering or washing quickly with a warm wash cloth. Not only will this feel good, but it will remove oil, dead skin cells, and debris and prevent you from getting pimples on your breasts. Use a mild cleanser or plain water that won’t strip the natural oils from your skin. Use a non-oily moisturizer that won’t clog your pores and will let your skin breathe.  Always moisturize after a shower. Keeping your skin soft and supple will prevent skin damage and help it heal quickly. If you are outside a lot, look for moisturizers with sunscreen in them. If you live in a very sunny place or near the equator, it may be possible to get burned through light layers of clothing.

Article in English: Nicotine is the addictive property in cigarettes. There are lots of resources available for reliable statistics to help you understand addiction. Searching online is a great place to start.  The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has statistics broken down by demographics.  The American Lung Association gives facts about smoking and quitting smoking.  The Department of Health and Human Services has a full report on the health consequences of smoking. Write some of the more important statistics and facts down on a notecard or piece of paper. You can refer to them when you’re persuading your loved one to quit smoking. Getting statistics gives you a broad snapshot of the effects of smoking and nicotine addiction, but talking to a healthcare professional gives you a chance to ask questions and get more information related to your specific situation. Who better understands the process of quitting smoking than someone who has quit smoking? Since no two people are alike it might be a good idea to talk to more than one person. They can offer insight you won’t get from online resources.

Article in English: Nitrates are the medicines most commonly used to treat angina, as they help to relax and widen the blood vessels. This allows more blood to flow to the heart, while reducing the heart's workload. Nitrates can be administered in two main forms: by taking nitroglycerine tablets orally, or by wearing a nitroglycerine transdermal patch on your skin. One of the most important aspects of angina treatment is lowering cholesterol levels. High cholesterol is one of the major contributing factors to heart disease. There are several types of medications that may be prescribed to lower cholesterol, such as:  Statins (atorvastatin or simvastatin) Bile acid sequestrants (cholestyramine or colesevelam) Nicotinic acid (niacin) Ezetimibe This herbal treatment is said to increase blood flow and is much less toxic than the pharmaceuticals currently in use.  The standard dose is 500 milligrams per day, but it's important to speak to your physician before trying this remedy, to ensure that it won't react with your other medications. Taking an amino acid supplement called L-carnitine can also help to improve metabolism in the heart muscle. The recommended dosage is 1,000 milligrams, twice a day Oxygen treatments are usually administered at the onset of an angina attack, to increase the oxygen supply to the heart and reduce pain. The oxygen is provided through a nasal prong. The doctor will monitor the patient's heart rate and respiration rhythm to ensure that the treatment is working. If lifestyle changes and medicine cannot control angina, a patient might need surgery to treat the underlying heart disease. The most common medical procedures used to treat angina are:  Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty. This procedure is indicated for patients with one or two vessel diseases and normal LV function. Coronary Artery Bypass Graft. This procedure is indicated for patients with significant left main coronary artery disease, two or three vessel diseases and LV dysfunction or  diabetes mellitus.

Article in English: Nitric acid is considerably more hazardous than sulfuric acid, so be very cautious during this experiment.  You will need eye protection, acid-resistant gloves and a lab coat. Because of the risks involved with using nitric acid, this experiment should only done in a laboratory setting.  As this experiment will put off toxic fumes (NO2 gas), it must be done under a fume hood. You will need a glass beaker or jar to perform the experiment in, a glass measuring cup with milliliter gradations, or a glass eyedropper, and a glass stirring rod or spatula to remove excess copper chunks, and a scale to measure the copper. For this you will need water, nitric acid (70%), and concentrated (98%) sulfuric acid.  These can be purchased at a scientific supply company.  You will also need a few inches of copper wire, or some chunks of copper pipe, available at any hardware store. First place 30ml of water in the beaker.  Then add 5ml of nitric acid and 3ml concentrated sulfuric acid. Carefully drop about 6g of copper wire or metal chunks into the solution.  Stand back away from the fumes, and watch the reaction take place.  A brown gas will form, bubbles will form as the copper dissolves, and the liquid in the beaker will turn blue.  The reaction is complete when the bubbling stops. The gas that results from the reaction is toxic, and should not be inhaled. If you wish to collect the copper sulfate crystals, pour the copper sulfate solution into a shallow glass dish and leave it exposed to air for several days while the remaining liquid evaporates.  Remember that the solution is still caustic, and use care in handling it.  You can then use your copper sulfate crystals in various experiments, or to grow larger crystals. Copper sulfate is toxic to fish, plants, and other wildlife and should not be poured into lakes or streams, or rinsed down the storm drain. Copper sulfate is a common ingredient in many drain cleaners, and small quantities, like what this experiment will yield, can be safely diluted with water and rinsed down the sink.

Позаботьтесь о технике безопасности. Выберите подходящее рабочее место. Соберите необходимые инструменты. Соберите необходимые материалы. Приготовьте раствор кислот. Добавьте медь. Выпарьте жидкость. Надлежащим образом избавьтесь от лишнего раствора сульфата меди.


Article in English: No amount of reading will fully prepare you. You have plenty of time to buy gear and improve your technique, but the world's nicest pair of running shoes will take you nowhere if you don't start running.  You can run almost anywhere: down the sidewalk, through the park, around the track at a local school. Stay out of the street, when possible. You will be moving more quickly than the average pedestrian, and cars may not notice you so easily. If you have a gym membership, consider running on the treadmill. This controlled environment may feel more comfortable at first. The motion of running may feel uncomfortable at first. This is normal. You are putting tension on muscles that you don't normally use, and the practice of running itself will make these muscles stronger. When you're just starting out, you don't need a pair of fancy running shoes. Old sneakers will do. If you decide to make a serious practice of running, then you may want to consider buying running shoes.  Run in simple, comfortable clothes: gym shorts, a t-shirt, and a sports bra if necessary. Don't wear anything too heavy or constricting. Wear socks. Your feet will sweat when you put them to work, and socks will keep your feet from chafing against your shoes. Running barefoot can reduce the risk of injury to your foot, but only if you are running on a forgiving surface. If you live near the beach or a grassy area, consider running barefoot--but look out for broken glass and other sharp objects! before you run and stretch after you run. Again: practice dynamic stretching during your warm-up, and save the static stretches for afterward.  Take 5-10 minutes before and after to loosen up your muscles. This will dramatically reduce the risk of cramps. Dynamic stretches (i.e. lunges, deadlifts, squats) focus on movement; you are priming yourself for intense cardiovascular activity. Static stretches (i.e. the butterfly stretch and some yoga poses) involve focusing on each muscle in turn and holding poses; you are loosening up muscles that have become...

Article in English: No is written 不 and pronounced bu4.  "Not" in Mandarin is very similar and is written 不是 and pronounced bu2shi4. The 4 in the pronunciation means that it is a high tone falling and should be said like a curt command in English. In Mandarin, there are five tones which determine the meaning of words. The tone determines the meaning of the word as much as the difference between the words horse and mother. For example, depending on the tone given to the word "ma" in Mandarin, it could mean mother (妈), flax (麻), horse (马), scold (骂), or a question participle (吗).    Mandarin is the most spoken language in China as well as the world. There are 873 million native speakers of Chinese and 178 million second language speakers. It is an official language in China and Singapore. People in the north of the Yangtze River in China speak Mandarin along with other parts of the population, and overall, it is the native language of ⅔ of the population. There are four types of Mandarin spoken in China with the most prominent form being the form in the capital, Beijing. The form in Beijing is considered Modern Standard Chinese or Guoyu.  To say “No, thank you,” you would say bu2xie4, and it is written as 不谢. The tone 2 means that the pronunciation of  bu2xie4 is a middle pitch that is rising, much like a question in English. The 4 means that it is a high tone falling and should be said like a curt command in English. An informal way to say, “No need to thank me” or “Not at all” in Mandarin is bu2yong4xie4. It is written, 不用谢. A quote with bù in Mandarin is 不作死就不会死 or bù zuō sǐ jiù bú huì sǐ. Literally translated it means "no zuo no die" which means that if you don’t do foolish things, you won’t be in danger of the repercussions of your folly. When using a negation in Burmese, you use the structures, ma + ___ + bu or ma + ___ + neh. The first indicates that the verb did not accomplish what it does, for example, nei ma kaing bu means you did not touch it. Nei ma kaing neh structure means that the verb must not be successful, and...

Article in English: No matter how it happened, nothing you did caused someone else to rape or sexually assault you.  Do not be afraid of telling people for fear of being blamed. It was not your fault. Your body belongs to you and only you.  Rape and sexual assault can happen to anyone, anywhere. Men are victims, too.  You never asked for it, no matter what you were wearing, and you're not alone.  Being forced into sex or being sexually assaulted by someone you are on a date with is still acquaintance or date rape. It doesn't matter if you know them and are dating them. You can be in a regular relationship with someone and still be forced into having sex against your will, even if it's not a violent act. More than half of all rapes are by someone you know.  Drinking alcohol or taking drugs is not an excuse for someone to rape you. Intoxication loosens inhibitions and can increase violent tendencies. Drugs and alcohol can also decrease your ability to get help. Regardless of who was drinking or taking the drugs, there is still no excuse for sexual assault.  If you are a male and you had an erection during the assault, do not be ashamed or feel guilty as if you enjoyed it. An erection is simply a natural physical reaction to stimulation even if you didn't want it and didn't enjoy it. You were not asking for it. If you are in immediate danger or are seriously injured, call emergency services. Your safety is the first priority. In North America, call 911. You naturally will feel the need to get any trace of the perpetrator off of you but it is important that you wait.  Any bodily fluids or traces of hair left on you from your assailant can be used later as evidence, if you decide to press charges. Washing your face, body, or clothes can remove vital evidence. Go to the hospital and inform the staff you have been assaulted and tell them if the assault included vaginal or anal penetration.  If you permit them, specially trained staff will conduct a “forensic exam” and use a “rape kit” to collect hair and fluid samples for forensic...

Article in English: No matter how well you take care of your injury, you might still get an infection. If your toe is infected you might see red streaks running up your toe, foot, or leg. You might get a fever of 100.4ºF (38ºC) or higher. Pus – thick, white or colored drainage from the injury – is another sign of infection. See your doctor if any of these signs occur, because infections can be serious. Your doctor will prescribe you antibiotics if an infection is present. Take these as prescribed and until they’re gone. See your doctor if your pain is severe enough to interfere with sleep or daily activities, does not improve 2 hours after taking pain medicine, or gets worse over time. If you have swelling that gets worse or does not improve after medicine, ice, and elevating your foot, get help. Ask questions like, "My toe hurts more today than it did yesterday and Tylenol isn't helping, is that okay?" or "How much swelling is normal?" Sometimes, a crushing injury to a toenail (like having a heavy object dropped on your toenail) can cause a subungual hematoma – bleeding underneath the nail. This creates a little pocket of blood under the nail, which can be uncomfortable because of the pressure. It looks like a dark blue, black, or purple bruise like splotch beneath your nail. If the bruise is less than ¼ the size of the nail, it will probably resolve on its own. Otherwise, see your doctor because you may need to have the fluid drained from under the nail to prevent further pain and injury. Don’t attempt to do this on your own or for someone else. See a doctor. Your doctor will drill a very small hole in your toenail to let the blood drain out. This procedure shouldn’t hurt, and draining the blood will make your toe feel better because it relieves the pressure. Whether your toenail will regrow normally depends on whether or not the nail bed was damaged. If you’re worried about how your nail might look when it grows back, speak to your doctor about the possibility of a small surgery on your nail bed. If you can see visible damage...

Article in English: No matter what form you take valerian root in, take it one to two hours before bedtime for the best results. It may take several weeks for you to understand exactly how long it will take valerian root to start having an effect, so adjust accordingly. Valerian root can also be taken during the day to help ease anxiety and stomach problems, but it does cause drowsiness, so be very careful with your dosage if you choose to do this. You may not get any benefit the first several times you take valerian root. In fact, it is often not effective until it has been taken regularly for several weeks. If you want to give it a fair chance, continue taking valerian root daily for at least two to three weeks. Valerian root is often taken alone, but it is also commonly mixed with other herbs that are thought to help sleep. Lemon balm and hops are two of the most popular herbs used in conjunction with valerian root.  Try taking 120 mg of valerian root along with 80 mg of lemon balm. Alternatively, you can try taking a combination pill that contains 180 mg of valerian root along with 41.9 mg of hops. Always talk to your doctor before taking multiple herbal supplements together, as they may interact with each other.

Article in English: No matter what type of interaction you're having with a client, you'll need to remain professional in every capacity. That includes the way you speak, the things you say, and the way you carry yourself in front of your client.  Don't be overly casual. Remember that you're dealing with a client, not a friend, so don't use curse words, tell inappropriate jokes, or use text speak or emojis with a client. Always double-check your grammar and spelling. A glaring error can be embarrassing and may look unprofessional. Ask about your client's personal life if they reveal any details, but don't pry or get too overly-familiar with the client. It may require trial and error to find a good balance. Say polite and appropriate things like, "It's great to see you. How was your weekend?" Avoid polarizing or inappropriate topics like politics, religion, social issues, and romantic endeavors. Failing to be proactive can be frustrating for clients, and it may end up damaging your professional relationship. Always be the one to initiate correspondence, especially when something new comes up that your client will want to know about.  Don't wait for your client to call you with news that affects them; break that news to the client, and your client will recognize your value. Constantly monitor news feeds for important information. However, don't report rumors unless it is something that will affect the value of your client's asset(s). Check your sources before contacting your client.  Have an opinion on the things you inform your client of, and be bold and firm in your opinion. For example, if your client isn't sure about which stocks to invest in, you might say "Based upon your desire for income and limited risk, I think your should consider _____ because _____." Or, as a doctor, you should contact your patient when a test result of theirs comes back or when you hear of a new treatment for a medical issue they have. While you should contact your client on a regular basis, you also don't want to take up too much of their time....
