Article in English: In general, arguments in favor of washing a horse's sheath focus on hygiene and reducing the chances of infection. Bacteria tend to colonize around the smegma. The exact nature of the secretion and the likelihood of infection vary from horse to horse. No matter what, an excessive build-up can lead to irritation and inflammation in any horse. In turn, the sheath can swell up, which can restrict the horse's ability to procreate or even urinate. Some owners report that excessive smegma actually attracts flies, which carry disease. Many experts argue that a horse's sheath “self-cleans”, so washing it by hand might actually be harmful. It could disrupt your horse's normal physiological system or you might end up damaging its sheath in the process. Others argue that it is not necessary to wash a gelding because they have been castrated, thus reducing the horse's natural production of smegma. In the end, regardless of which side of the debate you support, you should discuss this issue with your vet. When it comes down to deciding whether or not to clean your horse's sheath, you'll need to consider your situation — your specific horse. Some horses are more susceptible to smegma or bean build-up. This can be the result of glandular or hormonal issues. Some beans will naturally shake loose and others won't. If left alone, these can be considerably dangerous and may even require surgery to remove.

Article in English: In general, cats like to fetch things that they can easily grab with their paws or put in their mouths. If you do not already have a toy mouse at home, you can purchase one at your local pet store. Consider the size of your cat as you are deciding which toy mouse to purchase—a kitten would need a smaller toy mouse than an adult cat. If possible, pick a toy mouse that does not have plastic eyes. During her playtime, your cat could remove the eyes and swallow them, which could lead to intestinal blockage that would require veterinary care. Training your cat will be more effective when she is alert and energetic. Cats are most active at dusk and dawn. Training your cat in the morning may not be conducive to your work schedule, so an evening training time may be ideal.  Consider training her during one of her regular play times. She will already be anticipating an interaction with you, so she will likely be attentive to you when you start training her. You can also train her before her regular mealtime. Her hunger may motivate her to follow your instructions. The area where you train your cat should be large enough to allow you to throw the toy mouse at least a few feet. The room should be free of distractions, as well as physical obstacles (e.g., children's toys, large furniture).  If you cannot remove the obstacles from the room, try pushing them to the side to create a larger open area. You can move to a larger area as your cat becomes more skilled at playing fetch with you. A delicious treat will provide the right motivation for your cat to learn how to fetch a toy mouse. Examples of treats your cat may like include bits of tuna and meat-flavored baby food. You can also purchase cat treats at your local grocery store or pet store.  Whichever treat you choose, it should be your cat's favorite treat, and reserved only for training purposes. Remember that treats should make up only a small portion (10 to 15%) of your cat's diet. To keep a good balance of treats and regular food when you are training her,...

Article in English: In general, frames add the most visual interest and look the least cartoonish when they are a contrast from your natural features, which means that most rounded faces look best with more angled glasses, while more angled faces look best with more rounded glasses.  Soft, round faces look best with frames that have hard angles, like square or rectangular frames. These tend to make the face look longer and break up the softness of the face. If you have a very full face, you might consider horizontal rectangles, which make the face appear thinner. Square and rectangle faces look nice with frames that balance the hard lines of the face, so look for round or oval frames. To minimize the appearance of a very heavy jawline, look for a frame that has a thin, delicate frame (made of wire and in a color similar to your skintone) so that you don't add more bulk to your face. The glasses should be slightly wider than your cheekbones to fit the face properly.  Heart-shaped faces usually look nice with frames that are wider on the bottom or have some kind of detail on the lower half of the frames. Be sure that the frames are slightly wider than the forehead for a proper fit.  Triangular faces look great with glasses that emphasize the top half of the frame, like half-rimmed glasses or cat-eye glasses, or two-toned frames with darker tops and lighter bottoms. Since triangular faces tend to have strong jaws, be sure that the frames are slightly wider than your jaw to balance it out.  Oblong faces look better with round or curved frames, which take away from the length of the face and emphasize the width. Pick frames with the upper and lower rims of the frame equal in shape. This breaks up the length of the face. Also, choose frames that have a low bridge, which shortens the nose. Oval faces look great in any type of frame, so choose something that fits your personality. You can play with colors and styles to fit your mood, and you can feel confident in trying out the latest fashion or go with a classic frame to ensure it will...

Article in English: In general, hedgehogs are not very cuddly animals and do not always like being handled. Therefore, you should pick up and handle your hedgehog carefully. After reaching into his cage, scoop him up with both hands under his belly.  Scoop up some shavings in your hands as you pick him up. This will lessen the chance of you getting pricked by his quills. When you have lifted him up, slowly work the shavings out of your hands. This will allow your hedgehog to feel your skin on his belly and begin to relax by lying his quills back down. Slowly lower your hedgehog into the water, face up. Although he may like bath time, he might try to get out of the water at first. Keep a gentle but firm hold on him until he settles down. He is unlikely to panic or become stressed about the bath.  Let him soak in the water for a few minutes before you start cleaning his quills.  If you're using shampoo, pour about an ounce of it into your hand and then onto the hedgehog. This is equivalent to about a dime-size dollop. Check your hedgehog’s quills for things that might have gotten stuck in them, like bedding or dirt. Since hedgehogs sometimes sleep in their droppings, there may be feces stuck in his quills. If you see feces, it would be a good idea to wear gloves to clean his quills. To get your hedgehog wet, fill up a cup with lukewarm water and pour it over his body. Be careful not to get water in his face, ears, or eyes. Don't hold your hedgehog underneath a running faucet; your hedgehog may get burned if the water is too warm. Dampen the nailbrush or soft-bristled toothbrush in the water. Starting at the front of his body and working towards his backend, use the nailbrush or toothbrush to clean his quills gently in the direction of their growth. Pay special attention to the trouble spots where things have gotten stuck in his quills.  Use extra shampoo in the trouble spots.  Cleaning your hedgehog’s quills in the  opposite  direction of their growth could be painful for him. You should rinse off your hedgehog in clean water....

Article in English: In general, it is good advice to keep at least two pairs of clippers on hand at all times. You will need one shearing clipper to use for wide areas of clipping, and a smaller clipper for sensitive areas such as around the face. When cutting anything, the sharper the blade the easier the process. If you are using brand new clippers, you probably won’t have to sharpen the blades. If you are Using older clippers or blades, send to have the blades sharpened or do it yourself at home. Make sure there is nothing on the blades that might slow or impede their process; dirt and mud buildup will make clipping take much longer. When the blades are clean, coat them with oil and allow the clippers to run for 10-20 seconds. This will make them run smoother as you’re clipping. You want your clippers to be running at room temperature; if they get hot, the motor is overheating and they won’t work as well. If your clippers are ever hot, turn them off and let them cool down for several minutes before attempting to use them again.

Article in English: In general, people who place a high value and confidence in themselves are able to give more of themselves to other people. This includes tending to mind and body, as well as your lifestyle, before trying to find someone to share it with.  Taking care of your body will make you feel more like yourself. Improving your appearance will also make you more physically attractive, making it easier to attract someone.  Shifting your expectations towards others is an important part of improving yourself. Make sure your expectations of another person are realistic before you try looking for someone. It won't get you anywhere if you're being demanding. You can't expect to find a soulmate if you're cloistered away. Although it's never recommended that you go out purely for the sake of finding a lifelong partner, your chances of meeting someone special are vastly higher if you make an effort to get out of the house and into the social scene. Get out with friends, and try to explore areas and situations you're not used to. The more you get out of your comfort zone, the more possibilities you'll be exposed to. First impressions mean a lot, but they don't mean everything. If you get a bad first impression from somebody, that doesn't necessarily mean the two of you will have bad chemistry once you get to know each other. Interests say a lot about someone. A great deal of someone's time and experience of life will be based around their interests, and motivated by their values. Finding a soulmate can also mean finding someone whose values are a close match to your own. Finding out about someone's interests can be done through casual conversation. Looking for someone with similar hobbies can help you find a soulmate much faster.  You can increase your chances of finding a soulmate if you frequent places that relate to your interests.

You'll meet lots of interesting people that way, and the mere fact that the two of you are in the same...

Article in English: In general, this is how long it takes kale plants to produce its first leaves that are ready to pick. Your plant should be around 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) high before you harvest its leaves. You can harvest baby kale leaves sooner, but be sure not to pick too many or the plant will have difficulty maturing properly. Pruning shears make harvesting kale much easier. Purchase them at any gardening or home improvement store. Find a bucket, basket, or bag that you can place the leaves you pick in. Kale plants can be harvested many times, so make sure you leave the plant intact. Only cut the stems of the leaves that you want to pick, and leave the root alone.

Article in English: In general, winemakers will use the racking process to rack when moving it from the primary fermenter to the secondary vessel, and when moving wine from the secondary fermenter to a bulk aging vessel. Wine is often also racked after fermentation is complete, to help clarify the wine and remove some of the sediment. The process and vigorousness of racking largely will depend on the variety of wine you're making and your own personal taste as an enjoyer of wine.  Some wine makers rack only once and others will rack four or five times, depending upon the flavor profile they're going for and how clear they want the wine.  If you're going to eventually filter your wine, you don't need to rack it more than once or twice. By the time the batch has been fermenting for a week, it'll need to be put into a carboy with an airlock, which means you'll need to move it from the first vessel anyway, making it a good time to rack it and move it to an appropriate secondary fermentation vessel, outfitted with an airlock.  Be very careful not to rack your wine too early. The fermentation process produces a large quantity of gas, making it dangerous for carboys and barrels alike, if it's too active. For the most part, carboys are made safe by outfitting them with an airlock, which serves to let gasses escape the vessel, but keep outside oxygen, microbes, and bacteria from getting in. The second racking comes when the wine is finished fermenting, sometimes after a few days more and sometimes after as much as a month. Typically, this racking needs to be done to remove as much of the spent yeast as possible, since it should have settled thoroughly and is no longer affecting the fermentation process. As the yeast becomes less active a week into the fermentation, it's less vigorous about protecting itself from contaminants, which means it needs to be air-locked. The less sediment that makes it through this first step, the better. Even this early in the process, as much as 80 percent of the sediment will already be in place, as well as...

Article in English: In less than 30 minutes you can create the perfect bed with just a needle and thread! If your cat loves to bask in the sun and watch life go on around them, then this is the perfect bed for them - safe, snuggly and simple.  Choose an old sweater or fleece jumper that will appeal to your cat. Make sure it has long sleeves as this is what will make the cosy basket shape. You just need yarn and a tapestry needle.You can choose to use contrasting yarn (such as red yarn on a black jumper) or use the same color so it is invisible.  Stop when you have sewed approximately halfway down the sleeve from where the armpit meets the side seam. Repeat this step for the other arm. Place the sleeves in front of it and roll the bottom of the sweater up. Make sure that the sleeve cuffs slightly overlap. This is how you will make an outer ring to your bed to stuff later.  Sew each sleeve to the top of the rolled up sweater edge. Where the cuffs overlap in front, put one cuff inside the other and stitch down the outside cuff edge along the top layer. You have now created a tube which you will later stuff. The stitching can be invisible or contrasting in keeping with how you chose to style your bed. When you make this running stitch make it arch a little as you sew across to make a half moon shape.  Make sure you sew through both layers of sweater fabric. The more arched your shape, the rounder the bed will be. This is how you will make a solid yet squishy border to your bed so keep your cat safe and snug inside and keep their shape if it jumps in and out a lot.  Use old rags, stuffing or strips of old clothes to make it nice and full. Pad the bottom of the bed a little and stitch the neck opening closed.

Article in English: In many cases there are deep-rooted psychological issues that contribute to compulsive eating.  Seeking help from a trained counselor might help expose any underlying anxiety, depression or negative body image problems that could be hijacking your self-control.  There is overwhelming evidence that the majority of those diagnosed with BED also have underlying mood disorders.  Even if you don't have BED, a therapist may be helpful if you are stress eating. A therapist can help you address what is causing you to feel anxious, stressed, sad, etc., and help you learn healthy ways to cope with those emotions. Bring your food diary to your appointment so you can share any insights with your therapist. It may be helpful for her to look over the diary as well, as she may be able to spot some patterns or triggers you were not aware of. Emotional eaters often hide their emotions and turn to food to feel better. Learning healthy ways to deal with negative emotions can have an impact on overeating — though you may feel your issue is that you have no control over how much you eat, the underlying issue is likely that you feel you feel powerless over your emotions. When you begin to feel anger, sadness, or another uncomfortable emotion, find a healthy way to express or deal with that emotion.  Call a close friend, start a journal or pick up a paintbrush — do something constructive that you know leaves you feeling better, not worse. If your feelings of anger or sadness are from a past hurt, it may help to address them in the following ways:  Writing letters to those who have hurt you. You don't have to send the letters. But the act of pouring out your anger or sadness on paper can oftentimes help relieve stress.  Making amends with yourself.

Article in English: In many cases, making eye contact with a dog can indicate aggression or a contest for dominance. That’s why it’s recommended not to look strange dogs in the eyes. However, if your dog likes to gaze into your eyes without any bit of aggression or irritation, that’s a great sign that they love you. Peaceful or joyful eye-to-eye gazing indicates that the dog is completely comfortable around you. Not all tail wagging is created equal, apparently. In many cases, a tail that wags more to the dog’s right than the left indicates happiness and affection. If it wags more to the left, that can indicate anxiety or irritation. This may not be the case for every dog, though. So long as the dog’s tail wags roughly parallel to the ground and they seem happy in other ways, it’s most likely an affectionate wag. During a walk, do they frequently take breaks from sniffing around at everything to look your way? If you’re in a room of the house that’s off-limits to them, do they hang out by the door or drop by regularly to see what you’re up to? Basically, if they always want to know how you’re doing and what you’re doing, they probably really love you! If you tend to walk the dog together with a spouse, partner, sibling, parent, friend, etc., take note of who the dog tends to check in on most often. That’s probably who they love most! If the dog can’t contain its excitement when you get home from work or school, that’s a good sign of their affection for you. If they don’t even seem to notice when you come in the house, there’s a better chance that you’re not their number-one love. Of course, different dogs have different levels of general excitement, so you’ll have to compare how they respond to you versus how they respond to other people. For instance, if the dog gets excited when anyone comes in the door but gets REALLY excited when you come in, that’s a good sign. This is the other side of the coin regarding their burst of excitement when they see you. If, after their initial enthusiasm, they quickly want to become cuddly with...

Article in English: In many recipes, heavy cream or whole milk can be replaced with low-fat or skim milk. Be careful when baking to stick to reduced fat dairy rather than fat-free dairy. Yogurt is delicious eaten out of the container, but plain yogurt can also be served in soups or used as a marinade for meats. Salmon served with a lemon and dill yogurt sauce, for example, makes a nutrient-packed and elegant meal. Look to food from Middle Eastern and Indian cultures to inspire you to find more ways to use yogurt in your cooking. If you purchase a high-quality, flavorful cheese, then you can use less cheese and still add flavor to your cooking. Grate pecorino on top off a pizza and cut down on the mozzarella, or sprinkle a little bit of Gorgonzola on a salad instead of heaps of mild cheddar.

Article in English: In most cases, medical treatment for Zika is not necessary. You can just stay home and rest until you recover from Zika. However, if you experience any symptoms or pain that you cannot manage on your own, then you should see a doctor right away. Since Zika can resemble dengue fever and chikungunya, it is a good idea to see your doctor to confirm your diagnosis as well. Your doctor can perform a simple blood test to confirm whether you have Zika or something else. If you are struggling with symptoms of fever and/or pain (the Zika virus can cause muscle aches and pains), then you can try taking acetaminophen (Tylenol). Acetaminophen is available over-the-counter at your local pharmacy or drugstore. The usual dose is 500 to 1000mg every four to six hours. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Note that, until your diagnosis of Zika is confirmed, it is wise to stay away from ibuprofen (Advil) and aspirin. If you have dengue fever instead of Zika (both are transmitted via the same type of mosquito), both ibuprofen and aspirin increase your risk of bleeding. As you recover, one thing to be aware of is the potential complications of the Zika virus. In many cases, you will recover within a week or so. However, there can be complications of Zika that you should watch for as you recover. Complications may include:   Guillain-Barre Syndrome. As you recover, look for any unusual signs of numbness or tingling in your feet or lower extremities. Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune disorder that sometimes follows a virus. It damages the outer coverings of your nerves, leading to numbness or even paralysis. GBS begins in the feet and lower legs, and moves up the body towards the head. This complication is rare, but you should see your doctor as soon as you can if you notice any of these symptoms.  Microcephaly. If you are recovering from Zika and happen to be pregnant, there is a possibility that your baby could be born with microcephaly. This is an abnormally small head circumference that is connected with...

Article in English: In most cases, statisticians only have access to a sample, or a subset of the population they're studying. For example, instead of analyzing the population "cost of every car in Germany," a statistician could find the cost of a random sample of a few thousand cars. He can use this sample to get a good estimate of German car costs, but it will likely not match the actual numbers exactly.   Example: Analyzing the number of muffins sold each day at a cafeteria, you sample six days at random and get these results: 38, 37, 36, 28, 18, 14, 12, 11, 10.7, 9.9. This is a sample, not a population, since you don't have data on every single day the cafeteria was open.  If you have every data point in a population, skip down to the method below instead. The variance of a data set tells you how spread out the data points are. The closer the variance is to zero, the more closely the data points are clustered together. When working with sample data sets, use the following formula to calculate variance:   s2{\displaystyle s^{2}} = ∑[(xi{\displaystyle x_{i}} - x̅)2{\displaystyle ^{2}}]/(n - 1)   s2{\displaystyle s^{2}} is the variance. Variance is always measured in squared units.  xi{\displaystyle x_{i}} represents a term in your data set. ∑, meaning "sum," tells you to calculate the following terms for each value of xi{\displaystyle x_{i}}, then add them together. x̅ is the mean of the sample. n is the number of data points. . The symbol x̅ or "x-bar" refers to the mean of a sample. Calculate this as you would any mean: add all the data points together, then divide by the number of data points.   Example: First, add your data points together: 17 + 15 + 23 + 7 + 9 + 13 = 84Next, divide your answer by the number of data points, in this case six: 84 ÷ 6 = 14.Sample mean = x̅ = 14. You can think of the mean as the "centre-point" of the data. If the data clusters around the mean, variance is low. If it is spread out far from the mean, variance is high. Now it's time to calculate xi{\displaystyle x_{i}} - x̅, where...

Article in English: In most cases, the mounting hardware for your new fixture will fit  the bracket that's already installed.You'll need to hold the new light fixture up to the existing mounting bracket and compare fasteners and size to make sure you don't need to install a new mounting bracket. Oftentimes, if a light requires a special bracket, this will be included with the light you have bought. If not, you can look up the light information online by doing a general search of the name of the light fixture, which you can find on the box. Listed with its information should be mounting information as well.  Once you know the kind of bracket you need, you can find and purchase it at your local hardware store. Replacing the old bracket is just a matter of unscrewing it and screwing the new one into place. This is especially important if you have an older home, in particular, any home built before 1985. Wiring installed prior to 1985 has weaker insulation than contemporary circuits, meaning the heat generated by your fixture could cause a short, fire, or worse. Fixtures unsafe to use for older wiring will have a warning label that says, “Use wire rated for at least 90 degrees C.” Fixtures without this warning will still be suitable for your pre-1985 wiring. Depending on your country, the colors that code which wires are live, ground, and neutral may differ. In any case, you should support your new light with one hand and take each like colored wire coming from your wall or ceiling and combine it with its mate coming from the light fixture. Twist the exposed ends of the wire together, and seal it by screwing on a wiring cap. A general guide to electrical wiring color code is as follows:   CA:Live - black (single phase), red (with a second hot wire)Neutral - whiteEarth/ground - green, green and yellow, or bare copper  UK:Live - brown, black, or redNeutral - blueEarth/ground - green and yellow  USA:Live - black (single phase), red (with second hot wire)Neutral - whiteEarth/ground - green, green and yellow, or bare copper If there is a...

Article in English: In most cases, you don't need to see a doctor for poison ivy. It's okay to treat it at home! However, you might visit a doctor if your rash covers a large area, the symptoms interfere with your daily life, or the rash doesn't go away after 2-3 weeks.  For example, a large area might mean your entire calf or forearm. You should always see a doctor if the rash is on your face or genitals. Your doctor may prescribe an oral corticosteroid, such as Prednisone, if you're experiencing extreme itching. It might also be an option if your rash covers a lot of your body. However, this medication isn't right for everyone, so your doctor might recommend sticking to over-the-counter options.  Corticosteroids can cause side effects, so you should only use them as needed. The most common side effects with short-term use include sleeping issues, appetite changes, and mood issues.  Follow all of your doctor's directions for taking the medication. You likely won't need an antibiotic, but the doctor may prescribe one if your rash becomes infected. It might become infected if your skin is broken, so see your doctor if this occurs. Scratching increases your risk of developing an infection, since you can break the skin. Do not scratch your rash!

Article in English: In most cases, you should only ask a girl to be your girlfriend after you have gone on several dates and know that she is interested in you as more than just a friend; if you're younger and are used to asking girls to be your girlfriend before going on dates, then look for signs that she likes you, such as her blushing when you talk, or the fact that she waits for you after class. Having an idea of whether or not she likes you back can improve your chances when you ask.  If you have never spoken to her, don't know her very well, or know that she is already romantically involved with somebody else, then don't ask her out. There are plenty of other fish in the sea! You don't have to be 100% sure about whether or not she likes you, but try to read her body language and words the next time you're together. Does she turn her body toward you, seem a bit nervous in your presence, or look excited to see you? If so, then these are pretty good signs that she might be interested. Start off by greeting her with something like "Hey you," "Hey, how have you been?" or "Hey, how is your day going?" This will help ease into the conversation and prepare her for the question. Let the conversation flow naturally. There's no need to be extra clever right at the beginning or to make what you think is a hilarious comment. It's better to be direct and to stick to the point; she'll be impressed by your confidence if you don't dilly dally too much. Though you may not know what every second of her day looks like, try to send it at a time when she is likely to not be too busy. For example, if you know she has soccer practice right after school, send it a few hours after that. Tell her that you enjoy spending time with her, and compliment the qualities that make her unique, explaining why you like spending time with her so much. Try saying something like "I've really enjoyed spending these last few weeks with you," or "You really make me feel special," or "I've never felt this way about anybody before." Whatever you choose to say, be...

Article in English: In most cases, your opponent will listen to your reasoning and come up with reasons why it isn’t valid. If you are well-informed about your position, these objections may already be familiar to you. Use logic and evidence to show your opponent why their objections do not work. The common ways to refute objections is by showing that the evidence doesn’t support them or by exposing logical flaws in them.  For instance, you might hear that school uniforms promote school safety and togetherness. You might then say, “This study shows that fights actually doubled after a school introduced uniforms.” To take a logic-based approach, you could argue, “The fact that school uniforms look the same does not mean they succeed in making people feel like part of the group. There are many other factors that make people feel different.” If you have an opportunity to do so, turn your opponent’s arguments around on them. Instead of pointing out why they are wrong, illustrate it as best you can. Start with logical facts, including studies or any hard evidence you have supporting your critique. Add examples and descriptive scenarios if they apply. For example, if your thesis is that uniforms are bad, your opponent might point out how they are meant to reduce barriers between students. You could mention, “Barriers like wealth, status, and ability still exist. Since your point is that these barriers exist in the first place, uniforms aren’t the solution.” Many people assume that the person with the most knowledge of a topic will win in a debate, but it’s not true. If you are able to challenge your opponent’s points efficiently, you can level the playing field. Identify weak or unclear points in their arguments, then ask your opponent for clarification. Sometimes a good question can leave even a knowledgeable debater flustered. One simple question to ask is, “Do you have evidence for that claim?” You could also try asking something like, “What would happen if everyone did that?” Informal debates are often full of poorly-reasoned,...

Article in English: In most cases, you’ll probably be running your business by yourself, at least in the beginning. If you do need additional help to run your business, you will want to keep that expense as low as possible.  If you have a sibling that wants to help out, that would be a good place to start. You will be splitting your profits, so you will need to decide how much and when your employees will be paid. Write down how much each supply item on your list costs and total those numbers up. This is your projected start-up cost. If the start-up cost is beyond your current means, talk to your parents or other family members about investing in your business.  You could also ask your parents if they’d consider donating some of your future allowance as seed money for your business. If you bring them a solid business plan, they will be more likely to help you. For instance, if you are starting a lawn care business, you will need to plan for ongoing expenses like gasoline to fuel your lawn care tools. If you have any employees to pay, that cost also needs to be factored into your ongoing expenses.  By adding up your ongoing expenses, you will have a pretty good idea of what it will cost to keep your business running.  Another example – if you’re making cookies to sell, you will need to total up how much the ingredients cost and how often you’ll need to buy them. Think about how much it costs for you to make your product or perform your service. In order to make a profit, you will need to charge more for your product than it costs you to make it. For instance, if you want to sell cookies by the dozen, you’ll need to figure out how much it costs you to make a dozen cookies.  Let’s say that when you add up the cost of the ingredients, it costs you $3.50 to make a dozen chocolate chip cookies. You will want to charge more than that for each dozen in order to make a profit. You should also factor in how much time it takes you to make your product/perform your service. You can then work out prices based upon how much you want to make....

Article in English: In most cases, you’ll probably land on a form of martial arts based on what is available in your area. If it is difficult or time consuming to get to your dojo, you'll just have one more excuse to not follow through. Search online and in the phone book for martial arts studios. Rarely do martial arts schools advertise their price of instruction in the phone book. Prices could be determined on a monthly basis, over several months, or by how often you train each week. In some cases, the price is negotiable depending on how many people will be taking classes with you (family package deals, for example). There are instructors who charge as little as $50 a month for instruction, and there are those who garner $50 or more for a single one-hour session. It is up to you to determine what you feel is a fair and manageable price for instruction. After some research, you will know who is asking too much. Another good way to save money is to look for classes that do not operate out of a storefront. There are many successful schools that operate in community centers, church basements, YMCAs and recreation halls. Just because a school does not have a fancy storefront does not mean the quality of instruction is inferior. Call and inquire about trial periods, attire required, and membership/class fees. Look out for hidden fees. Some places charge more per class after you've attended a certain number of them. A great way to get a feel for a martial arts style and a particular school/instructor is to attend a couple of classes before settling on a specific place and style. You’ll get a chance to see the space, meet with other practitioners, and visit the instructor. Talk to the other students. See what they like about the program and what they dislike. Some of the more tenured martial artists in attendance may even have experience about other programs, which will help you narrow down your decision. If you are looking to learn practical martial arts, does the class encourage or allow beginners to get involved in sparring or...

Article in English: In most recipes, the sugar content in your desserts can be pulled back anywhere from 25% to 33%, without having an enormous impact on the overall taste or quality of your finished dessert. Reducing the sugar works best in recipes for cakes, quick bread, and cookies. Do not eliminate sugar from recipes that require it for its texture, like custards or compotes. Avoid inherently harmful things like candy or holiday desserts that require a lot of fat or sugar. Concentrate on desserts that rely on fruit as their sweeteners, such as pies or tarts. Other healthier desserts include things like baked pears, low-fat strawberry shortcake, and banana oatmeal cookies. Avoid products that use chemical additives such as certain icing or frosting. Instead of buying some at the store, consider making your own frosting. Sometimes store bought icing can contain additives and preservatives that have harmful or questionable chemicals in them. Avoid artificial sweeteners or chemical food dyes as well. Using all organic ingredients will prevent your food from being tainted from pesticides. Use organic fruits and milk in your recipes. Organic foods can be good for your heart health and immune system and is often fresher than other ingredients because it's grown locally. There are more antioxidants and vitamins in organic milk.

Article in English: In order for biodegradable items to break down quickly, they need to be in contact with moisture. The easiest way to do this is to sprinkle each layer lightly with water as you build the heap. Add water or wet, green materials if the pile seems dry. However, add dry, brown materials if the pile seems too wet.  In dry weather, fill your compost bucket with water each time you dump it in the compost pile. This will help add needed moisture. Your pile should be about as damp as a sponge that has been wrung out. In order to help compost break-down faster, shred leaves and other yard debris and crush egg shells. Since it takes longer for larger pieces to break down, this will speed up the time it takes to make compost. You want the compost pile to be warm so that microbes will thrive and break down the organic material you have collected. Covering the compost with a black garden cloth or other black covering during cold weather will help raise the temperature.  The temperature of the compost pile is very important and is an indication of the microbial activity of the decomposition process. The simplest way to track the temperature inside the heap is by feeling it with your hand. If it is warm or hot, everything is decomposing as it should. If it is the same temperature as the surrounding air, the microbial activity has slowed down and you need to add more materials that are high in nitrogen (green materials) to the bin. Covering the top of the container will also make the compost pile look neater. Move matter from inside to outside and from top to bottom. Break up anything that is clumpy or matted. If you are still adding to the pile, take the opportunity while you turn it to introduce the new matter and mix it well with the older matter.  You can turn the pile by using a pitchfork and moving the entire pile to the clear spot. Mix it up and then move it back into the bin. Mixing the pile in this way helps to keep air flowing inside the pile, which encourages decomposition. You can also get a tool that is...

Article in English: In order for the baby powder to stick to your eyelashes, you must first apply a few coats of mascara to each set of curled lashes. These coats will also thicken and add length to your lashes.  Pull out your mascara applicator and wipe the excess mascara off on the side of the bottle. #*As you move the applicator from the root to tip of your right lashes, wiggle the brush from side to side. Coat the opposite side of your lashes from root to tip too in the same manner. Dip your applicator brush back in the bottle and wipe off the excess mascara on the lip. Apply one coat of mascara to your left lashes in the same manner. Repeat the process on each set of lashes. When applied to your mascara-covered lashes, the baby powder will stick to your fringe. The white powder will add volume to your lashes and extend your fringe.  Open a bottle of baby powder and tap a small amount into a little dish or the palm of your hand. Dip the tip of a q-tip into the baby powder. Run the q-tip from the root to tip of each set of lashes. Look down and apply the powder to the opposite side of your lashes. Your eyelashes should appear ashen. To cover the baby powder, apply a third coat of mascara to your lashes. This final coat will also add additional volume and length to your fringe.  Remove your mascara applicator from the bottle and wipe the excess mascara off on the lip. Coat your right lashes from root to tip, wiggling the brush from side to side as you move through your fringe. Coat the opposite side of your lashes from root to tip too in the same manner. Insert your applicator brush into the bottle, pull it out, and wipe off the excess mascara on the rim. Apply one coat of mascara to your left lashes in the same manner. Look in the mirror and admire your long, voluminous lashes.

Article in English: In order for the meat to cook evenly, it's necessary to remove it from the refrigerator and bring it to room temperature about 3 hours before you start cooking. Season it on both sides with salt and pepper. Place it on a large platter and cover it with plastic wrap, then set it on your kitchen counter. Position it so the fat side is up, and the rib side is down. This way the drippings from the fat will help the meat become nice and juicy while it cooks. The pan you use should only be slightly bigger than the roast.  You'll need a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat. If you have the type that should be inserted in the meat before cooking, go ahead and insert it, making sure the tip is not touching the bone. If you have a charcoal grill or smoker, you can smoke prime rib instead of roasting it. Cooking the roast low and slow, so that the proper internal temperature is reached without overcooking the meat, will result in a tender, succulent interior. Don't worry - the final step of searing the meat will bring about the crunchy outer crust prime rib is known for. When the internal temperature is 115 to 120 °F (46 to 49 °C), the meat will be rare. If you prefer it medium, wait until it reaches 125 to 130 F. The cooking time depends on the shape and size of your roast, but as a general rule you should allow 15 minutes per pound. Check the thermometer often to make sure you don't overcook the meat. Make sure the thermometer is not touching the bone, fat or the pan when you measure the temperature. Let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes while you heat the oven to a higher temperature to sear the meat. After this resting period, there will be no need to rest the meat again before serving.

Article in English: In order for your budding to be successful, you must cut a scion (small piece for grafting) from a healthy, disease-free cultivar (origin tree) as well as a suitable growing tree (rootstock). The rootstock in this case is an established tree that the scion can be spliced into. For T-budding, the bark of both trees must be "slipping." This means the bark is easily peeled off and the green layer underneath is moist, which usually occurs in the spring. Try irrigating them well to help them along. T-Budding is typically used for fruit tree propagation. For T-budding, you must cut into the branch 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) below the bud to 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) beyond the bud. Make the cut as deep as needed to include the soft, green layer beneath the bark but not any deeper. This green material must be exposed on your scion for a successful graft. If you must store your scion bud, wrap it in a damp paper towel, place it in a polyethylene bag, and store it in a refrigerator. Choose a space on a branch or sapling that is 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) to 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. The space must be free of any buds, ideally far from any buds. Make a vertical slice in the bark about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long and deep enough to expose that green layer. Make a horizontal slice of the same depth that is about one third the distance around the rootstock. Twist the knife in the juncture of the slices to create flaps of the bark, making the green layer visible. Slip the scion containing the bud under the flaps you've just created on the rootstock, taking care not to introduce any dirt or germs. If part of the scion's bark sticks out above the T-cut, slice it off so that everything fits together snugly. Wrap a stretchy rubber material such as grafting rubber around the rootstock to hold the scion in place. Be careful not to jostle or cover the bud. In about a month, the rubber you wrapped around the rootstock may loosen and fall off. If it doesn't, gently remove it yourself so that the area will not be constricted. If the bud looks plump and healthy,...

Article in English: In order to be an effective, good leader, you can't live by the mantra, "Do as I say, not as I do." You have to set forth the example you want your team to adhere to. If you don't, why should they cooperate? Why would they succeed? If your team is going every which direction, you're not much of a leader. So be the role model they need to show them the way. Even if you don't think you're a role model, you are. You're in a natural position for it. Some leaders are more like friends, some are more like bosses (and yet some others are more like dictators), but they're all role models. Your team looks up to you. Use your powers for good! No one can predict the future. Computers get pretty good at predicting trends, but they still can be very, very wrong. Because of this, it's of utmost importance that you stay adaptable to change. Imagine if Apple stopped after its first computer! If Ford stopped after the Model T! If Britney stopped at "Baby One More Time!" Society is constantly changing and you (and your team) have to change with it. This probably makes more sense for a long term leader, like the president of a company or captain of the football team. But even school project leaders have to be receptive to change! If Pedro has a better idea than what you're currently doing, you need to use it. If Jane doesn't show up to school, you gotta pick up her slack. Even small obstacles present to opportunity to show that change will not deviate you from your course of awesome. . On the whole, people crave leadership. They prefer not making their own decisions (that way they can't really be held accountable when it all hits the fan) and using other people to light the way. Because of this, you're in a natural position to be a mentor. Use your powers for good! When someone comes to you for advice, help them out. After all, a good leader breeds more good leaders! Mike Tyson is credited to have said, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." Truer words never spoken, Mike. When you get "punched in the mouth"...

Article in English: In order to be diagnosed with APD, a person must exhibit at least three of the antisocial behaviors classified in the DSM (Diagnostic Statistical Manual). The DSM is the official compilation of all mental illnesses and their symptoms, and is used by psychologists to determine a diagnosis. Someone with antisocial personality disorder will have a history of repeatedly being arrested for crimes, major or petty. These crimes often begin in adolescence and continue on into adulthood. People with antisocial personality disorder also tend to have drug and alcohol abuse problems, meaning that they may be arrested for possession or use of drugs or have a DUI. You may want to run a background check yourself if the individual does not disclose his past history to you. Sufferers of the disorder will show lifelong habits of compulsive lying, even about mundane or irrelevant things. As they grow older, this pattern of lying may turn into a form of con artistry, in which they manipulate others for their own gain using their lies. As a related symptom, they may develop aliases to hide behind, either for the purpose of conning people, or just as another form of lying. People with antisocial personality disorder tend to disregard safety of both themselves and others altogether. They may either ignore a potentially dangerous situation or put themselves or someone else intentionally into danger. On a small scale, this might include driving at high speeds or starting fights with strangers, while on a more extreme scale it might mean physically injuring, torturing, or altogether neglecting another person. It is common for a sufferer of the disorder to show a lack of planning ability, for either near-to-date or future plans. They may not sense a correlation between their current behaviors and long-term outcomes, such as how doing drugs now and going to jail might affect their future plans. They may do things quickly without judgment, or make rash decisions without thinking. Physical assaults by individuals with APD can vary...

Article in English: In order to become friends with a girl, you have to become familiar to her first. A girl may not be comfortable with a stranger walking up to her and starting a conversation out of the blue, but if she's seen you around and you've seen her around, that barrier falls. You're no longer scary. Are you in a few of her classes? Do you share a hobby? Great.  It's actually proven that humans like things the more they are exposed to them. It's the reason the same song gets played over and over on the radio and why commercials get repeated endlessly. So the more she's exposed to you, the more she'll be inclined to like you. In psychology, this is called the mere-exposure effect (in case you were curious).  If you have to, put yourself in her line of fire. Does she always sit towards the left side of the classroom? Can she be found at a certain Starbucks on Wednesday afternoons? If you know where she'll be, be there once in a while. As long as you're not breathing down her neck, you're on the right track. Okay, now that you both know who each other is and that you have a certain something in common, you've got to interact with her. It can be as simple as a passing remark about your teacher's ridiculous tie or a question about what time practice is next week. Don't be afraid to start off small -- after all, you've gotta start somewhere.  She's a girl. She's just a girl. There are billions of them on this planet. When you ask her a question or make a funny comment, you will not spontaneously light on fire and the world will not explode. If she's friend material, she'll be happy to respond.

Article in English: In order to begin finding the inverse, you must begin with the equation in the format f(x)=ax2+bx+c{\displaystyle f(x)=ax^{2}+bx+c}. If necessary, you may need to combine similar terms to get the equation into this format. With the equation written this way, you can begin to tell some information about it. The first thing to notice is the value of the coefficient a. If a>0, then the equation defines a parabola whose ends point upward. If a<0, the equation defines a parabola whose ends point downward. Notice that a≠0. If it did, then this would be a linear function and not quadratic. Before you can find the inverse function, you will need to rewrite your equation into the standard format. The standard format for any quadratic function is f(x)=a(x−h)2+k{\displaystyle f(x)=a(x-h)^{2}+k}. The numerical terms a, h and k will be developed as you transform the equation through a process known as completing the square. Notice that this standard format consists of a perfect square term, (x−h)2{\displaystyle (x-h)^{2}}, which is then adjusted by the other two elements a and k. To get to this perfect square form, you will need to create certain conditions in your quadratic equation. Remember that a quadratic function that is a perfect square originates with two binomials of (x+b)(x+b){\displaystyle (x+b)(x+b)}, or (x+b)2{\displaystyle (x+b)^{2}}. When you perform this multiplication, you get a result of x2+2bx+b2{\displaystyle x^{2}+2bx+b^{2}}. Thus, the first term of the quadratic is the first term of the binomial, squared, and the last term of the quadratic is the square of the second term of the binomial. The middle term is comprised of 2 times the product of the two terms, in this case 2∗x∗b{\displaystyle 2*x*b}. To complete the square, you will be working in reverse. You will start with x2{\displaystyle x^{2}} and some second x-term. From the coefficient of that term, which you can define as “2b,” you will need to find b2{\displaystyle b^{2}}. This will require a combination of dividing by two and then squaring...

Article in English: In order to blow your fuse, you must create a complete circuit using the power supply, wires, and fuse.  All power supplies, such as batteries, will have a positive and negative terminal. This is where you should connect your wires to your power source.   Place one wire on the negative terminal of your power supply. Place the other on the positive terminal of your power supply. This will complete the circuit needed to run electric current through the fuse from the power supply. Make sure the wires are touching both the positive and negative ends of the terminal as well as both ends of the fuse. If there is not complete contact, the circuit is not complete and electricity cannot be conducted. Some fuses may explode, so it is an important safety step to make sure your gear is properly worn before turning on the power supply. You should not work near any flammable materials. Electric currents may produce a spark that can ignite flammable liquids and dry flammable objects. The fuse should now blow. Proceed with caution. If your fuse does not blow, disconnect the power supply and check to see that your circuit is connected properly. Check to make sure that the metal strip inside the fuse is intact. If it is not, the fuse is already broken and you should try a different fuse.  If you are using a battery as a power source, test to see that it is working properly.

Article in English: In order to breed dragons, you will need to have unlocked the Breeding Island or Breeding Cave. This is where you can send two dragons to breed and produce an egg. The egg will need to incubate for a certain amount of time before it hatches, depending on the breed the egg contains. When you select two dragons to breed, the game will calculate what dragon you receive based on certain odds. Generally, there are three types of results you can expect from a breeding: Common, Rare, and Epic. The one you get is purely chance-based, and Rares and Epics have very low percentages. The rarest dragons are bred from combinations of previous, lesser dragons. You will need to go through several breeding processes before you have the right dragons to breed the super rare ones.

Article in English: In order to burn a dual-layer project, you must be using a dual-layer DVD, and your drive must support burning dual-layers. If you try to burn a dual-layer project to a single-layer disc, you will encounter errors. This program will come installed with certain DVD burners, or can be purchased directly from Nero. Start a New Project and then select Data. In the Data submenu, select Data DVD. By default, your project will be a standard single-layer DVD, even if you have a dual-layer DVD inserted. Click the dropdown menu next to the capacity meter. Select DVD9 to switch it to dual-layer. Click the Add button to add the files that you want to burn from your computer, or drag and drop them into the window. As you add files, the meter on the bottom will fill up. Dual-layer DVDs can hold up to 8.5 GB of data. If you have less than 4.7 GB of data, it might be cheaper to burn it to a standard DVD. Press Next when you are finished adding files. In the next screen, give your disc a name so that you’ll recognize it when it's inserted. Make sure that you have the correct DVD burner selected in the “Current recorder” section. Nero will show you the status to let you know when the process has completed successfully.

Article in English: In order to buy collard greens, you need to know what you are looking for. Collard greens are large in size, usually at least 10 to 12 inches long, with oval, flat leaves. In comparison to kale, the leaves are usually wider and the stems are thicker. If you are unsure about which greens in your store are collard greens, look for signage to indicate or markings on the ties that keep bunches of collards together. You can also feel free to ask someone who works there. Many grocery stores will carry collard greens on a regular basis in the produce section, close to other greens, such as kale or Swiss chard. They should be located in a chilled area, which will keep them firm. Look for the freshest collards to show up in your store in winter through spring. They will also be at their lowest price during these times of year. If you can't find collard greens in your normal grocery store, you may need to go to a specialty store. Stores that cater to African Americans are likely to carry collard greens, as they have an important place in African American food culture. There are other cultures that use collard greens in their cooking. Collards can be found in dishes all across the globe, from Ethiopia to Portugal, so they may be available in a wide variety of specialty stores.

Article in English: In order to combat your own biases, you first need to know what they are. In social psychology there are tools used to assess implicit feelings and beliefs about different individuals; these are called Implicit Association Tests (IAT). These tests will tell you your level of inherent bias toward certain groups of people. You can take an IAT, created by Harvard University, on any number of topics including sexuality, religion, and race. These tests can be found online. A prejudice is a kind of handicap to your perspective as it forbids you to think beyond your assumptions and builds a virtual wall around your objective thinking. Your own implicit and explicit attitudes toward individuals of a different race, for example, strongly predicts how friendly you will be toward them (both verbally and nonverbally). Acknowledge your own biases and prejudices, and actively replace them with more reasonable alternatives. For example, if you think something stereotypical about a certain gender, religion, culture or race (i.e. blondes are dumb, females are moody, ), remind yourself that this is a bias against that group and that you are over-generalizing. In order to reduce prejudice or bias in yourself, it may be helpful to identify and understand the effects that your biases can have on others. Being a victim of prejudice or overt discrimination can result in devastating mental health effects.  Dealing with prejudice and discrimination can lead to low self-esteem and depression as well as reductions in adequate health care, housing, education, and employment.  Being in a situation where someone is prejudiced against you can lead to a decrease in your self-control.  Remind yourself that if you have biases against others they may lead to dire consequences for those individuals. Some individuals may have internalized self-stereotypes or prejudices. Self-stigma occurs when you have a negative belief about yourself. If you agree with the belief (self-prejudice), it can lead to negative behaviors (self-discrimination). An...

Article in English: In order to complete the circuit, all wires must be touching the metal parts of each component. If your bulb doesn’t light up, check each side of the battery and the screws on the bulb holder to make sure the wires are in contact with metal.  Make sure screws are tightened down to maintain contact. In some cases, you may need to strip more of the insulation off the wire. Your bulb will not light if the filament is broken. Hold the bulb up to the light and ensure the filament is one connected piece. Try replacing the bulb with a new one. If the bulb isn’t the problem, proceed to the next troubleshooting step. If the battery is dead or low on charge, it might not have enough power to light the bulb. Using a battery tester, check the charge or just replace the battery with a new one. If this was the problem, your bulb should light immediately after replacing the battery.

Article in English: In order to dance to music, you need to be able to identify the beat. Listen to a song and try and tap your foot or clap your hands along to the beat. Depending on the song, the beat may be slow or fast. When you are first learning to identify the beat, listen to music that has a strong drum beat. This will make it easier for you to hear the rhythm. For example, try dancing to Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" or The Bee Gee's "Night Fever." Once you have identified the beat of the music, you can try moving your body to the beat. When you are first learning to dance, it is best to isolate different movements. Begin by keeping your feet firmly planted on the ground and move your arms to the beat of the song. You can move your arms from side to side or up and down.  Your arms are also connected to your shoulders and torso, so try moving them as well. Experiment with non-linear arm movements by creating waves. Now that your arms are moving to the music, try adding in your feet. You can start out simple, by picking up one foot and then the other, kind of like marching on the spot. As you get more comfortable you can try bending your knees and bouncing in time with the music. Continue to bounce and then add in steps to the side. Try to incorporate your hips and other parts of your lower body into your dance movement. Search online for dance studios in your area and research the different beginner classes available. Choose a dance style that you are interested in learning. For example, you could try hip hop, jazz, contemporary, ballroom, etc.  Alternatively, if you are looking for something more casual, you could find a dance class at a local community centre or YMCA. You can also watch instructional dance videos online or purchase one on DVD.

Article in English: In order to develop leadership qualities, it is often helpful to start by emulating qualities of great leaders, such as being a good role model. People look up to leaders, which is why being a good role model is so important.  A good rule of thumb is to act the same whether others are watching you or not.  Ask yourself if you’re still the same, respectful, kind and honest person in private, that you are when others are around. Watch what you say and how you say it, as a leader’s words have a great impact on those around them. Part of being a good role model is the act of inspiring others. Through your words and actions, you are either an inspiration or a discouragement. Keep that in mind as you go about your day. Although not every great leader is likable, most people tend to relate to and follow a leader who is. While you may not think of yourself as likable, you can actually learn to be through the way you converse with others and how you carry yourself.  Being respectful and polite during conversations is one way to improve likeability. Your body language also contributes to likability. Remember to smile and make eye contact. Others will instantly warm to you if you greet them with both a smile and look into their eyes when they are speaking. Something that goes hand in hand with likeability, is listening when others talk. Some of the best leaders recognize that they can gain even more knowledge by listening to those around them.  Feel free to ask a lot of questions, but genuinely listen to the person’s response. Acknowledge that you’re listening by smiling encouragingly and asking follow-up questions. Refrain from using technology during a conversation. If you’re on your phone during a conversation, it’s easy to tell you’re not paying attention. Remember that if you’re doing all of the talking, you’ve missed out on the opportunity to really listen and understand where others are coming from. One of the best ways to feel like a leader and to be viewed as one, is through your appearance. Whether you like it...

Article in English: In order to diagnose schizophrenia, a mental health clinician will first look for symptoms in five “domains”: delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech and thinking, grossly disorganized or abnormal motor behavior (including catatonia), and negative symptoms (symptoms that reflect a reduction in behavior). You must have at least 2 (or more) of these symptoms. Each must be present for a significant portion of time during a 1-month period (less if the symptoms have been treated). At least 1 of the minimum 2 symptoms must be delusions, hallucinations, or disorganized speech. Delusions are irrational beliefs that often emerge as a response to a perceived threat that is largely or entirely unconfirmed by other people.  Delusions are maintained despite evidence that they are not true.  There’s a difference between delusions and suspicions. Many people will occasionally have irrational suspicions, such as believing a co-worker is “out to get them” or that they’re having an “unlucky streak.” The difference is whether these beliefs cause you distress or make it hard to function. For example, if you are so convinced that the government is spying on you that you refuse to leave your house to go to work or school, that is a sign that your belief is causing dysfunction in your life.  Delusions may sometimes be bizarre, such as believing you’re an animal or a supernatural being. If you find yourself convinced of something beyond the usual realms of possibility, this could be a sign of delusions (but is certainly not the only possibility). Hallucinations are sensory experiences that seem real, but are created in your mind. Common hallucinations may be auditory (things you hear), visual (things you see), olfactory (things you smell), or tactile (things you feel, such as the creepy-crawlies on your skin). Hallucinations may affect any of your senses. For example, consider whether you frequently experience the sensation of things crawling over your body. Do you hear voices when no one is around? Do you see things that...

Article in English: In order to extract orange oil in a jar, you will need a mason jar, a zester and some grain alcohol. Because it is largely tasteless, vodka works best for creating orange oil. It will not dilute or overwhelm the orange scent in the finished oil. The essential oil in oranges, limonene, is largely found in the peel. Because of this, you will want to remove the peels from oranges before making your oil. You can either cut the peel from the orange with a knife or grind off the peel with a zester.  For best results, avoid cutting off any of the pith. This part of the orange has very little limonene and will make your mixture bitter. If you do not have a zester, you can also use a Microplane, a vegetable peeler, or a paring knife. The amount of oranges used can vary. It depends on how many oranges you have or how much essential oil you want to make. . Once you have removed the peels, you will need to let them dry. Place them on a paper towel and leave them in direct sunlight until they are completely dry. Depending on the humidity in your area, this can take a couple of days. To accelerate the process, try chopping the orange peels into small pieces (1 in or 2.5 cm). After the peels have dried, place them in a food processor. Grind them until they are a coarse consistency. Avoid over drying your peels. This can cause them to lose some of their limonene. If you used a Microplane or a zester, you will not need to grind the peels further. Fill a bowl with warm tap water. It should be warm but not overly hot (around 90 degrees Fahrenheit or 32 degrees Celsius). Place the bottle of grain alcohol in the warm water and let it soak for about 20 minutes.  Vodka works well for this process. You can use cold alcohol. However, warm alcohol will help you get more oil. Place the zested or ground orange peel in a mason jar. Pour in enough alcohol to completely cover the orange peels. Once you have covered the grinds, secure the lid and vigorously shake the jar for several minutes. During that time, you may also want to shake the...

Article in English: In order to feel good about yourself and your life, it is important to remember that you and your life are works in progress. As long as you progress or strive to, then you are doing right by yourself and your life. The more you keep yourself motivated in your progress, the more you will convince yourself that you deserve to feel good. Remind yourself of the mantra “progress not perfection” several times a day if you find it helpful. Write in your journal the traits and attributes that you think are valuable. Make an extra effort every day to try and be the type of value you want to see in yourself and in your life. By knowing exactly who you want to become and the value of progress over perfection, you can build worth and satisfaction in actualizing those goals. Take a step back from difficult relationships and determine if they are helping or hurting your ability to to feel good. To build your self-worth, you need to surround yourself with people who believe in you, make you feel worth it, and lift you up. If you find yourself with some negative people, take the steps to decide if they are really right for you. You may have to have some discussions with people about how they treat you and how that makes you feel. It is up to you to decide who you want around you, and building a solid support system full of positive, supportive people is a great way to build self-worth and feel good about your life. Give yourself a pat on the back and recognize all of the healthy qualities you possess. If your goal for that day was to smile at two strangers and you did, praise yourself for spreading positivity. You never know who needed that smile on that day. Build yourself up in a realistic, flexible way by making sure you are acknowledging the value you are putting into the world.

Article in English: In order to figure out what type of hydrangea to plant, you'll need to figure out which variety is best for your gardening zone. Start by looking at a planting zone hardiness map to determine the number of your zone. There are hundreds of varieties of hydrangeas to choose from. If this is your first time planting these beautiful flowers, you may want to choose from among these common varieties that are known to be hardy and produce long-lasting blooms.  Mophead and lacecap hydrangeas, or "bigleaf" hydrangeas, don't do as well in colder regions unless you take measures to protect them from frost. Look for the "Endless Summer" mop-head variety at your local nursery - it's a type of mophead hydrangea that blooms more than once over the summer. This type of hydrangea produces large balls of pink or blue blossoms that deepen in color over the course of the season. The oakleaf hydrangea grows well in places with very hot summers without too much moisture. It is hardy through zone 4b/5a. This type of hydrangea has white blossoms. Annabelle hydrangeas are more cold hardy than mophead or oakleaf hydrangeas, can still grow in zone 3. This type of hydrangea has white blossoms that turn light green later in the season. Peegee hydrangeas can grow hardy even further north than Annabelles - all the way up to zone 3a. They are also able to grow in southern zones. They have white blossoms. Planting in one of these milder seasons will give the hydrangeas time to acclimate to the soil conditions and take root before the weather gets more extreme. Look for hydrangea plants in your nursery in early spring or early fall. Hydrangeas are easy to grow either in planting beds or in large pots. Whichever method you choose, you'll need a spot that gets full sun in the morning and partial shade in the afternoon. Bigleaf hydrangeas will grow in complete partial shade, so choose this variety if you have a shady yard. Hydrangeas need rich, well-drained soil that is kept moist. If you're working with dry or depleted soil, get it ready for...

Article in English: In order to figure out what’s at the bottom of someone’s poor treatment towards you, you need to be able to clearly define what’s happening. Reflect on the way they treat you. What about their behavior makes you uncomfortable? Try to pinpoint clear and specific details about their behavior. Write down what details you notice about their behavior. For example, perhaps whenever you speak to them, they ignore you. Write out exactly what happens. Think about possible reasons for their behavior. You can’t read minds, of course, but you may be able to pretend the same thing happened to you and then identify a stimulus that led them to act this way.  For instance, maybe they got bad news at school and when you went to talk to them, they pushed you away. The bad news probably caused them to act that way, which means it may not have been about you at all.  Another example may involve you leaving a friend out of a game unintentionally. Because they were left out, they may act upset and lash out at you. Recognizing what you did wrong and apologizing may resolve the problem. Don't lose your own perspective when doing this. Even if you understand their motivations, you don't have to forgive or agree with them if you are hurt by their actions. To gain more insight about their behavior, check out how they interact with others. Look for evidence that matches or contradicts how they treat you. If their behavior towards others is the same as how they treat you, then it’s probably not about you. If their behavior is different towards you than for others, it may be personal. You might be more or less sensitive to mistreatment from others, so it helps to get a second or third opinion. Reach out to someone else who knows this person and see what they think. You might ask, “Hey, I’ve noticed that Regina seems really mean lately. Have you noticed that?” Using the information that you collect from your observations and the opinions of others, figure out what you want to do next. If you think the person is acting this way due to...
