Article in English: Feeling self-conscious about your tummy? Try a corset to cinch your waist and push up your breasts, or a babydoll top for coverage and support. The important thing is to find something you like that highlights your best assets.  Branch out beyond the usual lingerie styles, too. Consider burlesque-inspired, tomboy, and indie designers for new takes on sexy underthings.  Costumes and role-playing may also help you stay covered while ramping up your bedroom activities. It's helpful if your partner can come to your house, so you can feel a little less anxious and have more control over the environment. While you can simply turn the lights off, you may want to try a few candles or installing a dimmer switch. Low lighting is more flattering, and you and your partner can see enough of each other to feel intimate and connected.  Use soft light bulbs in the bedroom, which can also provide more flattering light. If you're having sex in the morning, wait to open the blinds or curtains, and leave the lights off. It may still be dark enough for you to feel comfortable. Leave your bra or t-shirt on. Or keep your skirt on but nothing else. Or even slip into your partner's shirt. Covering up a little can help make you feel comfortable enough that you still enjoy yourself. Some types of sex are perfect for staying clothed. If you initiate a sudden, passionate "quickie," you may not even have time to get your clothes off. If you're self-conscious about getting up to use the bathroom, keep a nice, fluffy robe within reach of your bed. If you don't have a robe available, pull a sheet or blanket off the bed and wear it under your arms like a towel. This is another opportunity for you to pop on your partner's shirt, especially if he or she is a little larger than you are or about the same size.

Article in English: Feeling tired can be caused by increased fluid volume in the body. This causes the different body systems to be overworked. You may also start feeling very weak, which can be perceived as being fatigued. The feeling of being excessively itchy is caused by the accumulation of the waste products in the blood stream, as the diseased liver is not able to perform its function of removing waste products. When the liver becomes damaged, it has a harder time producing blood clotting factors. This problem can lead to red palms, as well as nose bleeds. You may also notice that you begin to pass black tarry stools. Damage to the liver means that it is unable to accumulate glycogen, a carbohydrate that provides the body with temporary energy. When the liver is damaged, it forces the body to use its muscle tissue to supply energy in between meals and this causes weakness and muscle wasting, which in turn causes weight loss. When the liver stops functioning properly, it is unable to perform its tasks that it normally does effortlessly. Toxins will begin to accumulate in your blood which can cause a loss of appetite or a feeling of nausea.

Article in English: Felt is a strong and durable fabric to use for a book cover. It’s a good cover style for kids’ books or for notebooks that are toted around a lot in a bag. If you can, use wool felt in preference to synthetic felt mixes, as it’s a lot easier to work with. However, wool felt tends to be more expensive too.

Article in English: Female contraceptives can shorten the length of a period over time.  Some can shorten the length of bleeding and result in a lighter flow.  Others can reduce the number of periods you have in a year.  Oral contraceptives (OC, The Pill).  When you take oral contraceptives, you typically take one active pill a day for 21 days.  Active pills are made up of the female hormone estrogen or a combination of estrogen and progesterone.  Then you take a placebo pill for 7 days.  There are no hormones in the placebo pill, and that's what allows you to get your period during this time.  The most common way to reduce or suppress menstruation is to skip the placebo week and immediately start a new pack of pills.  Without the placebo week, your body won't have the opportunity to start a period. This works best if you're on an oral contraceptive that combines estrogen and progesterone and offers the same dose of hormones in each active pill each day.  This is called a monophasic combined oral contraceptive (COC). There are a number of monophasic combined oral contraceptives on the market including Ovral, Ovcon, Ogestrel, Nordette, Levora, Levlite, Apri, Alesse, Brevicon, Levlen, Loestrin, Norinyl, Ortho-Cept, Ortho-Cyclen, and Ortho-Novum. Oral contraceptives are available by prescription only, so you must see your doctor.  Let them know how you plan to use the Pill so they can choose the right one for you. Oral contraceptives may cause some minor side effects such as: headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, slight weight gain, and slight spotting of blood between periods.  Their use has been linked to blood clots, heart attack and stroke, especially in women who smoke, are overweight, have high blood pressure, or are over the age of 35.  OC's do offer some health benefits:  women who use them have a lower risk of developing endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer. Some oral contraceptives are intended to reduce the number of periods a woman has in a year, typically to four.  These pills work by providing an 84-day series of...

Article in English: Feral cats are either totally feral (no human contact or only negative human contact), semi-feral (some positive human contact), or converted feral (abandoned house cat that becomes semi-feral). Totally feral cats will be the most difficult to tame and socialize, and converted feral cats will be the easiest.  Semi-feral cats look to humans to feed them, but do not seek further human interaction. This minimal level of human interaction teaches them important social cues of the human world.  Semi-feral cats are sometimes referred to as ‘community cats.’ Having a rough estimate of the feral cat’s age can let you know how easy or difficult it may be to tame her. Feral kittens, particularly those younger than 10 to 12 weeks old, are usually easily tamable. Older feral cats who have been feral for a long time will be most difficult to tame, if you can tame them at all.  Feral kittens should not be removed from their mothers until they are ready to be weaned, at approximately 6-8 weeks of age. Experts widely agree that for kittens with a domesticated mother, 13 weeks is the appropriate time for separation. For feral mothers, the kittens should ideally be separated from mum at 6-8 weeks - if they stay longer with a feral mum, they will be taught feral behaviors and will take longer to tame. The litter should be kept together for at least a few weeks so the kittens can learn from each other.  If you see a feral kitten with his mother, trap the mother and kitten at the same time. Keep them together inside your home until the kitten is ready to be weened, usually about 6-8 weeks. Contact the local animal rescue to have the mother spayed and returned to her colony. Taming a feral cat is difficult and comes with no guarantee that the taming will be successful. In addition to being a challenge, taming a feral cat can take a lot of time: feral kittens could be tamed in as little as two to six weeks, but it could be a year or more before an adult feral cat is tamed.   Acclimating a feral cat to your home and socializing her...

Article in English: Ferric chloride is a common choice for an etchant. However, you can use Ammonium Persulfate crystals or other chemical solutions. No matter what choice for the chemical etchant, it will always be a dangerous material, so besides following the general safety precautions mentioned in this article, you should also read and follow any additional safety instructions that come with the etchant. Depending on the acid etch that you choose, there might be additional instructions. For example, some crystallized acids require being dissolved in hot water, but other etchants are ready to use.    There are special solvents available for almost all types of insulating drawing material used in drawing PCB layouts. However, if you don't have access to any of these materials, you can always use a sandpaper (a fine one).

Article in English: Fight the urge to bury the secret. It takes a stronger person to recognize a mistake than to ignore it. Many kids get the instruction, “Think about what you’ve done.” Adults must also take time to see whom they affected, and in some cases it may be multiple people. If there are future consequences associated with a wrong, then you should try to repair the damage before it gets out of hand. On the other hand, waiting a little while to talk to the person may be the correct thing to do in cases where confrontation may hurt them and cooler heads would prevail. This is not a hunt for excuses, but rather a way to help you avoid similar behavior in the future.

Article in English: Figure out what taking control of your life means to you. Is it the ability to influence your destiny, regulate your present, keep your negative behavior in check, or do you simply want more willpower? Taking control of your life requires working through multiple challenges, including your own perceptions, building self-confidence as well as taking an action. Determine what you want more control over, and that will help focus your energy. . The first step to succeeding in anything is to know and accept your strengths and limitations. Show compassion for yourself. Accept not only the good but the bad too. Always strive to improve the things you don’t like or that you struggle with.  Understand why you do what you do and forgive yourself. Self reflection is healthy and positive. Self-criticism and feeling guilty are unproductive behaviors that do more harm than good, so if you catch yourself in one of these patterns, remind yourself that there are healthier ways for you to work things out. Understand that you have done the best you could, and repeatedly tell yourself this.  Think of three things right now that you excel at, receive many compliments for or truly enjoy doing. Write them down and put the list somewhere you go often, like a bathroom or on the refrigerator. You need to determine what your values are so that you can get your priorities straight. Think about what and who is important to you — Is it freedom, happiness, equality, money, your family? Write down a list of your values (at least 10 of them), preferably in order from most important to least important.  Think about what you are doing right now to support each of your values, and how your values are affecting your life. It can help to consider what a person that you respect would think of your values and whether this would change what they are.

Article in English: Figuring out what type of person they are will help you understand why they say and do certain things.  It will also help you understand how to interact with them in a way that works for both of you (or to your advantage). There are several different theories of personality, many of which have years of research supporting them.  Listen to what people are telling you and watch their actions and body language to evaluate what type of personality they have. For instance, watch the person you don't understand's body language when you're talking. If his body language suddenly stiffens when you touch on the topic of family, then you can pretty safely assume that is a sensitive topic. Gathering information like this over time can help build a clear outline of that person's personality. While personality types can serve as a guideline for understanding people, keep in mind that experiences, situations, and even the person's current mood can all influence how he acts. This method looks at people's Openness, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. By observing whether or not a person has these traits, you may have a sense for how willing someone might be to try something new, work with a group or team, or even start a conflict.  Determine how open to new experiences and ideas a person is by watching how she responds to change or novel suggestions. Does she welcome the new plan or resist it? Observe her habits to see how conscientious, or aware of herself, her goals, and environment she is. Is she detail-oriented and well-organized? Pay attention to how she interacts with others to determine how extroverted she is. Does she seem to prefer to work alone? Does she move around talking to everyone in the room? Ask open-ended questions to see how agreeable she is like, “What do you think about the new project?”; “How do you feel about our sales goal?”; “What’s your opinion on the lunch menu?” Notice neuroticism (how moody, negative, or anxious she is) by listening to and observing her. Does she...

Article in English: Fill a boiling water canner with water and let that water reach a simmer. Place the glass canning jars and lids inside the water for a few minutes.  If using canning jars with two-piece lids, sanitize the main part of the lid in this manner but set the band or ring aside. This can be cleaned in hot, soapy water but not in the simmering water of the canner. Do not boil the water at this time. Note that other types of canners are not recommended for canning sauerkraut. Place the fermented sauerkraut and its brine in a large stainless steel saucepan or stockpot and set it on the stove. Bring it all up to a simmer over medium-high heat.  Stir frequently as it cooks. Do not allow it to reach a rolling or rapid boil. Remove from the heat once the simmer is consistent and the sauerkraut is heated through. Scoop the sauerkraut out of the saucepan and transfer it immediately to your prepared canning jars. Pack the sauerkraut and brine into each jar tightly, leaving 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) of empty headspace at the top of the jar.  If you do not leave enough headspace, the pressure inside the jar might build up and cause it to burst during the canning process. Tap on the side of the jar with your fingers or a metal utensil to gently remove the air bubbles trapped inside. Adjust headspace as necessary by adding more brine. Wipe the rim of the jar with a clean towel before applying the lid and the band on top. The fit should be "fingertip" tight, or as tight as you can screw it on with your fingertips. Gently lower your jars of sauerkraut into the boiling water canner using jar tongs. Let them boil, on average, 10 minutes for pint (1/2 L) jars and 15 minutes for quart (L) jars. You may need to adjust for altitude, though.  At an altitude between 0 and 1000 feet (305 m), process pint (1/2 L) jars for 10 minutes. Change this to 15 minutes for altitudes between 1000 and 6000 feet (305 and 1830 m) and 20 minutes for those above 6000 feet (1830 m). At an altitude between 0 and 1000 feet (305 m), process quart (L) jars for 15...

Article in English: Fill a clean bucket with hot water. Soak a sponge or rag in the water and go over every inch of the wall to rinse and wipe away excess glue. When you shine a light on the wall, dark spots indicate that there's still glue left there. As you work, rinse and wring out your sponge frequently, changing the water as necessary. Continue wiping down sections of the wall until all the glue has been removed. Let the walls dry out for at least 24 hours before you do anything else. This will give the drywall time to fully dry out. Make sure there are no wet spots or dark patches on the drywall before you start patching or redecorating. The wallpaper may have been covering dents and dings, or there may be holes or gouges in the drywall from the removal process. Fill these with spackle before repainting or re-wallpapering.  Place a small amount of spackle on a putty knife, and use the knife to press the spackle into the hole. Smooth out the spackle with the putty knife and leave it to dry. For larger holes, use joint compound instead, and apply it with a trowel. This is the final touch that will ensure you have a perfectly clean and smooth surface for new paint or wallpaper to stick to. When the spackle or joint compound has dried fully, go over the entire surface of the wall with 120-grit sandpaper.  Spackle generally takes a few hours to dry, while joint compound takes about 24. Check the manufacturer’s instructions about drying time before you sand the walls. Consider wearing protective eyewear and a mask to prevent dust from getting in your eyes, nose, mouth, and lungs. To remove all traces of dust and dirt from the walls from sanding, vacuum the walls. Then go over the walls with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the walls to completely dry before priming, painting, or putting up new wallpaper. Once you’ve sanded and wiped the walls, you can remove all the protective plastic from the room. You can also leave it in place if you plan to paint.

Article in English: Fill a large cup or bowl with warm (not hot) water. Add a splash of dish soap, and stir the mixture to help it to dissolve. Place all of your parsley seeds into the mixture and allow them to soak for one hour. The heat of the water and the dish soap will help to break down the notoriously tough outer casing of the parsley seeds, helping them to grow faster than they would without soaking. Using a small strainer, pour the soapy water out and run the seeds under lukewarm water. This should remove any traces of the soap, and prepare them for the next step. Fill a bowl with very warm water (near 105 degrees Fahrenheit) and place the seeds in the water. Leave these to soak overnight to continue the germination process. After 24 hours soaking in the water, remove the seeds with a strainer and lay them out on a piece of wax paper to dry. When they have been fully dried, they are ready to be planted. If you want to speed up your planting time even further, you can plant your parsley ahead of time in small containers and move them to their final destination after sprouting. 6-12 weeks prior to the last frost before Spring, plant your parsley seeds into small containers and water them daily. This should give them enough time to begin sprouting, increasing their time to full bloom when planted outdoors or in a larger pot.

Article in English: Fill a medium saucepan between 1/2 and 2/3 full with water. Place it on the stove and heat it over medium-high until the water reaches a rolling boil. Add salt. After the water reaches a boil, add a generous amount of salt to the water. The zucchini will absorb the salt as it cooks, thereby becoming flavored on both the inside and outside. You can add salt before the water reaches a boil, but doing so will cause the water to take a longer amount of time to reach a steady boil. Place the zucchini noodles in the boiling water and cook until they are tender but not quite falling apart.  The exact amount of cooking time will vary depending on how soft you want the zucchini noodles and how dry they are when you start. If the noodles are still fairly moist, 2 minutes should be long enough. If they are very dry, however, you will need to cook them 10 minutes for al dente noodles and 15 for soft, silky noodles.  The main thing to remember is simply to keep an eye on them. If the noodles start breaking apart, you need to stop the cooking process. Drain the water and transfer the zucchini noodles to individual serving plates. Drain the water by pouring the zucchini noodles through a colander. Let stand for 5 minutes or so, just long enough for any excess water to finish dripping off each noodle.

Article in English: Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and set it to a simmer over medium heat. Do not allow the water to reach a full boil. Break each egg one at a time into a ladle or serving spoon and lower the spoon into the pan until it hits the bottom. Slide the egg off so that it sticks to the bottom of the pan. Allow it too cook there for a full 1 minute.  Add the eggs to the simmering water one at a time.     You can technically break the eggs directly into the water instead of lowering them in with a spoon or ladle, but breaking the eggs into the water may make it more difficult to control how the eggs turn out.    After cooking the eggs on the bottom of the pan for 1 minutes, gently scrape them up from the bottom of the pan using a heat-resistant spatula. Continue cooking for another 3 to 5 minutes. The yolk will still be fairly runny once done. Lift each poached egg from the water, draining away excess water through the slots in the spoon. Enjoy immediately.

Article in English: Fill a pot with water and place a large bowl on top. The bottom of the bowl should not be touching the water. Turn the stove on and wait until the water starts to simmer. Spread the chocolate evenly across the bottom of the bowl and stir it often with a spatula so that it doesn't scorch. You have to let the chocolate cool before you add it to you buttercream, or it will cause the butter to melt. You can use an electric mixer, a handheld beater, or even a food processor. It will take about two to three minutes for the butter to reach the right consistency. If you have been using a higher speed in your mixer, now is the time to change it to a low setting. Add the chocolate and mix it some more. You may have to use a spatula to get all of the chocolate out of the bowl. Do this until the buttercream has gets a smooth and even texture, and there are no streaks or clumps. If you do not like vanilla, consider substituting it for espresso or strongly-brewed coffee instead. At this time, you can either decorate your cakes or cupcakes using the buttercream, or you can put the buttercream into an air-tight container an store it in the refrigerator for about two to three weeks.

Article in English: Fill a pot with water, then add the flax seeds; how much water you use does not matter at this point. Allow the seeds to soak for at least 6 to 8 hours, preferably overnight. You don't have to do this if you are in a hurry, but it will help the seeds release more gel.  Flax seeds produce a gel that works wonderfully on curly, coarse or frizzy hair. It adds shine and tames flyaways. Flax seeds are available at most grocery stores and health food stores. Make sure you get raw, unflavored flax seeds that have not been toasted or flavored with spices.

The beeswax will help give the lip balm a firmer texture and make it less gooey. If you end up using the beeswax, try to get it in flake or pellet form. This will help it melt quicker and easier. If you can't get beeswax in either form, shave it using a cheese grater. Stir them from time to time. This will ensure that they melt evenly. Both ingredients will turn clear once they melt. The vitamin E oil will help make your lips nice and soft. How much you use is up to you, but keep in mind that the flavor will become stronger once the lip balm hardens. You can use a special oil made for flavoring lip balm, or you can use a candy-making flavor oil. Whatever you use must be oil-based. Do not use anything that is water or alcohol-based, or it will not mix in evenly.  You can find lip balm flavoring oil in online shops that sell cosmetic-making supplies. You can find candy-making flavor oil in arts and crafts shops, and in baking shops. You can also use 5 to 10 drops of essential oil instead.  If you want to make more than one flavor, pour the melted mixture into separate bowls first. Use a spoon or mini spatula to scoop the mixture into the containers. Work quickly, as the melted lip balm will start to set fast. The lip balm will finish setting there, and become hard like regular lip balm.

Article in English: Fill a small bucket with warm water and add a couple squirts of liquid dish detergent or laundry soap. Dunk a sponge in the bucket and rub the area well to ensure that no dirt or grime interfere with the decal’s ability to separate. Pour some fresh, clean water over the area to remove any suds. With a clean microfiber cloth, thoroughly rub the decal and the area around it dry until there are no more traces of soap or water. You can also just let it air dry for several minutes if you’re willing to wait a while longer. Take a good look at the sticker and try to figure out where its weaker spots are. If, for instance, one of the corners of the decal is already lifting up a little on its own, start pulling away at that corner.

Article in English: Fill a small pot with water and set the flame to "high." Because you're going to use heat for this repair, the frames of your glasses must be plastic for it to work. Once the water is boiling, hold the broken edges of the glasses over the pot and close enough for the heat to soften the edges. Push a short pin into one edge and then push the other edge onto the pin. While the plastic is still hot, smooth it over the pin.   Never put plastic eyeglass frames directly over a flame.

Article in English: Fill a small saucepot halfway with water and heat it on the stove over medium heat. Once the water begins to steam but before it begins to simmer or boil, pull it off the stove.  Do not allow the water to reach its boiling point, as it may end up heating the breast milk too quickly if it is this hot. Always pull the pot of water off the stove before preparing to put the bottle or container of breast milk inside. Never directly heat the breast milk over the stove.    You can either sit the bottle or container of breast milk in the pot of hot water or continually swirl it around in the hot water.  It is safe to allow the bottle to touch the bottom of the pot once you remove the pot from the stove, but if you are still apprehensive, simply hold the bottle in the water without letting it touch the bottom. You can warm breast milk from a frozen or chilled state using this method. If you are warming breast milk from a chilled state, it should only take a few minutes. If warming it from a thawed state, it may take twice the time. Carefully swirl the bottle or container of milk to even out the temperature. You could also stir the milk with a spoon or coffee stirrer to accomplish the same task.

Article in English: Fill a tin can 1/3 full of sand. Use masking tape to affix your balloon inside the can on all sides. Smooth down the masking tape wherever there are bumps. The can will serve as a neck to your paper mache head. Mix 1 part water with 1 part flour. Most paper mache recipes suggest 2 parts water to 1 part flour.  You want your recipe to be a little bit thicker for your paper mache head, but feel free to dilute it with more water to make it easier to work with. Tear a few larger squares and set aside.  Smooth it onto your balloon. Working with 1 strip at a time, cover the entire head and can.   You should have done 4 paper mache coats on your mannequin head. Allow them to dry completely. Affix them with masking tape. Continue to pinch the newspapers into the shape you want. Use a wooden spoon to press down gently and thoroughly on all tape edges. Allow to dry. There are a few options.  Spray your mannequin head with a light coat of spray adhesive and cover the head with fabric. Cut off at the bottom edge of the can so that the can will stand.     Paint the mannequin with colored paint. For light colors, make sure to do more than 1 coat. Use spray paint for a fast application.     For a detailed painted mannequin head, use different color paints to draw features.     Take a plain or patterned nylon sock or tights. Stretch it over the head of the mannequin head and the can. Knot it at the back of the can. This is the fastest way to cover your mannequin with a layer of fabric, as it does not require any drying time.

Article in English: Fill any gaps between your roof shingles or in the siding of your house. Seal the edges of places where birds nest using hardware cloth and silicon caulk or plastic bird netting. Close off the space above the rafters where pigeons roost and nest with industrial bird netting. You can further prevent access to your attic by trimming tree branches that grow close to your roof. If you find pigeons in your attic or other interior spaces, hire a professional to install a one-way door. These devices allow the birds to exit the area but prevent them from re-entering.  You can also hire professionals to clean up any droppings, feathers, or other refuse left behind. Professional cleaners will have the proper cleaning equipment and protection gear that might be too expensive to obtain on their own.

Article in English: Fill half of an ear dropper with hydrogen peroxide. Turn your head so that the affected ear is on top. Drop the hydrogen peroxide into the ear. Once the crackling noise stops (usually within 5 minutes), tilt your head so that your affected ear faces down. Tug on the earlobe to help the ear drain. You can buy these over-the-counter at pharmacies and grocery stores. The solution will usually come with an ear dropper, but they are typically available for purchase at pharmacies if not. Alternatively, you can make your own drying drops with equal parts white vinegar and isopropyl alcohol. Turn the hairdryer onto its lowest heat and fan setting. Set the blow-dryer about 6 inches (15 cm) from your ear. Let the cool air blow into your ear.  The air can help dry up some of the fluid that is caught in the ear. Don’t put the towel inside of your ear. Just wipe off the water on the outside to prevent more fluid from building up in your ears. These can irritate and scratch your ears, increasing your chances of getting an infection. Instead, if you can’t dislodge the water on your own, see a doctor for help.

Article in English: Fill it at least ⅓ of the way full, enough to cover your legs. Make sure the water is comfortable enough to sit in. Hot and cold water not only feel uncomfortable but can also damage the jeans.  If you don’t have a bathtub available for use, you can still stretch out your jeans. Fill up a sink or bucket with warm water instead. If you only need to stretch out a few areas, consider spraying those spots with warm water and then tugging them into shape. After slipping on the jeans, zipper and button them if you are able to. If you’re not able to fit into the jeans at all, you will need to wash them by hand. Close the zipper and fasten any buttons before attempting to stretch the fabric. Try to get the jeans into their original shape as much as possible. It’s easier if you’re able to squeeze into the jeans, but sometimes that isn’t possible. Don’t put them on if they are too tight. Place your wet jeans on a clothesline or a drying rack. Keep them out of direct heat and sunlight but try to find a spot with good air circulation. That will help the fabric dry out. While it dries, gravity will also pull the jeans down to stretch them out further. Don’t put the jeans back in the dryer! Heat causes your clothing to shrink. Direct sunlight can also fade a good pair of jeans.

Article in English: Fill separate boxes with the amount of the loan, the length you have to pay, and the interest, and Excel can calculate your monthly payments for you. For the remainder of the section, you can use the following example loan: You take out a $100,000 home loan. You have 30 years to pay it off at 4.5% annual interest rate. You need to tell Excel that you're paying a debt. To do so, write the principal with a negative number, without the $ sign.  -100,000 = Principal You can leave it in years, if you want, but your answer would spit out yearly interest payments, not monthly. Since most loans are paid monthly, simply multiple the number of years by 12 to get your total number of payments. Write this down in another box.   -100,000 = Principal  360 = Number of Payments In this example, your interest rate is annual, meaning it is calculated at the end of the year. However, you're paying monthly, meaning you need to know what your monthly interest rate is. Since 4.5% is for 12-months of interest, simply divide by 12 to get one month's worth of interest. Be sure to convert the percentage to a decimal when you're done.   -100,000 = Principal  360 = Number of Payments  4.5%12=.375%={\displaystyle {\frac {4.5\%}{12}}=.375\%=}.00375{\displaystyle .00375} = Monthly interest. Excel already knows the equation for calculating monthly payments, with interest. You just have to give it the information it needs to make the calculation. Click on an empty box, then locate the function bar. It is located right above the spreadsheet and labeled "fx." Click inside of it and write "=PMT("  Do not include the quotation marks. If you're Excel savvy, you can set up Excel to accept the payment values for you. Place the values needed to calculate the payment in the parenthesis, separated by commas. In this case, you'll enter (Interest rate,number of periods,principal ,0).  Using the example above, the full entry should read: "=PMT(0.00375,360,-100000,0)"  The last number is a zero. The zero indicates you will have a balance of $0 at the end...

Article in English: Fill the mold to the line drawn earlier using warm tap water. Ideally, the temperature should be around 105 °F (41 °C). Use a thermometer to maintain a good average temperature. Making gelatin takes longer with warm water as opposed to hot, but results in a clearer final product. The mixing process will take a significant amount of time, so make sure that you can comfortably mix for about twenty minutes. You’ll want to mix with a large spoon, wooden or metal. Use a 1-cup measuring cup to slowly add gelatin to the water. You need to be stirring constantly to avoid clumping. Add all of the gelatin over the course of about 10 minutes, sprinkling one cup at a time.  This step is much easier with two people. One person stirs, while the other slowly adds the gelatin. After the gelatin has been added, you can swap stirring duties to give your arm a break. To improve the clarity, you can add cinnamon oil to the gelatin. You will need about 9 drops; 1 drop per gallon of water. Add the cinnamon oil about halfway through the stirring process. After the stirring is complete, there will be a little bit of foam on the top of the mixture. Gently scoops this out and discard. There should be no visible foam or clumps of undissolved gelatin in the final mix. You want to cool the mixture to about 36 °F (2 °C). Avoid freezing it, or else the blocks will become too cloudy. If you don’t get it cool enough, the gel will not get as dense as it needs to. Cool the gel for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight. Once the gel has fully cooled, gently turn the container over onto a clean flat surface such as a kitchen counter. Slowly guide the gel out of the container with your hands to help avoid cracking the block. Use a large kitchen knife to cut the block into two halves. Cut the long way so that you are left with two narrow blocks with the dimensions 6 x 6 x 20. Gently wrap each block completely in plastic wrap. This will prevent evaporation, which will affect the density and integrity of the block.  After wrapping the block, place...

Article in English: Fill the pot 2/3 full with tap water (10 gallons or 37.8 L), then place the pot on the stove and turn the burner to high. Let the water come to a rolling boil. Add the 10 pounds of cornmeal to the water and stir it with a wooden paddle or another instrument. Let it cook for a few minutes until the water combines with the cornmeal and thickens into a paste. Remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool, then pour it into the clean bucket. Stir in 10 pounds of sugar and 1/2 ounce of yeast. Use a wooden paddle or another large instrument to thoroughly incorporate the sugar and yeast into the mash. Bread, brewers' yeast, naturally occurring yeast or even sourdough starter may be used in place of dry yeast to start the fermentation process. Loosely cover the bucket with cheesecloth and place it in a cool, dark place, such as in your cellar or basement, to allow fermentation to take place. Fermentation occurs when the yeast metabolizes the sugar and corn carbohydrates and produces alcohol.  A brown or light tan foam will appear on top of the mash bucket, gradually rising up higher each day. When the mash quits working, the sugars are "used up," and you will notice the foam, or "head" is no longer rising. The mash is ready for the next stage when it stops bubbling. At this point it is referred to as "sour mash."

Article in English: Fill the pot about 3/4 full, and put in a few pinches of salt, to help flavor the pasta. This is the state at which the pasta is fully cooked, but still has a good texture, and hasn't become too mushy. It should take 5 - 10 minutes.  Test to make sure the pasta is done by slapping a piece against the wall. If it sticks, the pasta is ready.     Stir the pasta as it's cooking to keep the noodles from sticking together.    Place a colander or strainer over the sink. Pour the pasta into the colander or strainer to drain the water. Transfer the pasta to a large bowl. Use tongs to toss all the ingredients together. It's a great side dish to serve with fish, chicken or vegetables.

Article in English: Fill the stockpot with roughly 2 inches (5 cm) of water and boil it on the stove over high heat. Make sure that the steamer basket does not dip into the boiling water. If you do not have an actual steamer basket, you could use a metal or wire mesh colander instead. Just make sure that the colander fits over the mouth of the stockpot without tipping into it. Carefully dump the florets into the steamer basket, spreading them out into an even layer.  The florets should be arranged upright, with the clustered tops facing up and the stems facing down. If possible, arrange the florets in a single layer. If this is not possible, though, you should at least make sure that the florets are distributed in the basket as evenly as possible. Cover the stockpot and let the gathering steam cook the cauliflower. When done, the florets should be tender enough to pierce with a fork but should not be mushy.  The stockpot and steamer basket must be covered. Placing the lid on the stockpot traps the steam inside, and the steam is what you need in order to cook the cauliflower florets with this method. For standard-size florets, check the cauliflower after the first 5 minutes. If they still seem too tough, cover the pot again and continue cooking. Usually, it will take 7 to 10 minutes for the cauliflower to cook through. Large florets can take up to 13 minutes. If you decide to steam the entire head of cauliflower at once, it could take 20 minutes or longer to do so. Remove cooked cauliflower from the steamer basket and place in a serving dish. Season with salt, pepper, and butter, as desired. There are other ways you can serve steamed cauliflower, as well. You could drizzle soy sauce over it, sprinkle the florets with Parmesan cheese, or season the cooked florets with spices and herbs like paprika, lemon pepper, or parsley. Precisely how you enjoy this healthy treat it up to you, so get creative.

Article in English: Fill up a plastic container halfway with warm water from your faucet. Add 3-5 drops of dishwashing liquid or Castile soap, and mix it up with a spoon. Then, place your derma roller in the container upside down. Soak your derma roller for 10-20 minutes. This gets rid of any surface blood or skin cells. Derma rollers have many small needles that poke into the pores of your skin. Dirt, blood, and dead skin can get trapped in between the needles. For a deep clean, use a new, clean toothbrush with soft bristles. Turn on warm water, and hold your roller underneath the stream. Brush your roller gently with your toothbrush for about 60 seconds.  This gets rid of dirt and residue that alcohol or soap may not lift off. While this is optional, it provides a deep, thorough clean. If you use a used toothbrush, you can spread bacteria to your roller. Place the wet sponge on a clean, flat surface. Then, move your roller back and forth across the top of the sponge. Do this for 20-45 seconds to get rid of dirt and residue that other methods may not remove.  This is optional, though it is a good idea if you frequently use your roller or have an older roller. Use a new, clean sponge to avoid contaminating your face. Use warm water from your faucet to wash your roller off and get rid of any dirt, skin, blood, or debris that came loose when cleaning it. Then, place your roller upside down on top of a clean paper towel. Your roller should dry in about 10-20 minutes.

Article in English: Fill your coffee maker with cool filtered water and place coffee grounds in the filter basket. Don't forget to put a filter in the basket if your machine doesn't use a metal mesh filter. Turn the machine on to brew your coffee. While you can brew as much coffee as you like, try to use the following coffee to water ratio: 2 tablespoons (10.6 g) of ground coffee for every 6 ounces (177 ml) of water. If you're using chocolate syrup, pour about 1 1/2 ounces (45 ml) of chocolate syrup into the mug you'll be serving the mocha in. If you're using a sweetened cocoa powder, place about 3 tablespoons (22 g) of the powder into the mug you'll be using for the mocha. If you're unsure how sweet you like your mocha, prepare the mocha using less chocolate. If you find that you'd like it sweeter, you can drizzle chocolate syrup or sprinkle chocolate powder over the top. Pour a cup of milk into a small saucepan and heat it over medium heat on the stove. You should see small bubbles start to line the sides of the pan when the milk is hot enough. Avoid boiling or scalding the milk. This would make your mocha taste bitter. You can also heat the milk in the microwave. Pour your milk into the mug that contains the chocolate and microwave for at least a minute. Fill the mug only 2/3 full so that you have room to add your drip coffee. Pour hot drip coffee over the chocolate syrup or powder in your mug. You can add as much coffee as you like, keeping in mind that if you add mostly coffee, you won't have much room for the hot milk. Stir this mixture to dissolve the chocolate and slowly pour in the milk. If you like a creamier mocha, only fill your mug about 1/3 of the way with coffee before filling it the rest of the way with hot milk. If you'd like foam on top of your mocha, use a battery powdered milk frother. Pour additional hot milk into a separate mug that has high sides. The milk should only come about 1/3 of the way up the side. Insert the foamer and steam the milk until it becomes a thick foam. Scoop this foam on top of your...

Article in English: Fill your new orchid pot with the potting mix, then dump it into a container about twice its size. To prepare orchid potting mix, you'll need to soak it in water overnight. This will help it retain enough moisture to sustain the orchid. Go ahead and fill the bucket or bowl to the top with hot water. Don't use cold water, since the potting materials won't absorb this as well. Be sure the soil is at room temperature before repotting the orchid. You can use a strainer that you'd normally use for food (you'll want to clean it well afterward) or a large piece of cheesecloth. Drain out all the water so that all you're left with is wet potting mix. Run more warm water over the mix to rinse out any dust. Carefully lift the orchid from its old pot, loosening each root individually. If the roots are stuck to the pot, use sterilized scissors or knife to help free them. It's important to use very clean equipment, because orchids are prone to getting diseases. You can sterilize your trimming tools by wiping them with rubbing alcohol on a rag. Use your fingers and a clean pair of scissors to carefully clean up the roots. Pick out the old mix - charcoal, wood chips, moss, and so on - and discard it. Use the scissors to clip away rotten or dead roots, taking care not to damage any healthy plant matter.   Roots that are soft and limp are probably dead, so go ahead and remove them. Untangle the roots carefully by easing them apart with your fingers. If you're using a pot that you've used before for orchids, clean and sterilize it with boiling water to get rid of toxins and kill potential disease vectors. If the pot is large and deep, line it with broken pieces of terracotta or packing peanuts to help with drainage. If you're using a shallow pot, this step isn't necessary.

Article in English: Find a balance between passivity and aggression. Assert your feelings and needs while remaining open and sensitive to what he is saying and feeling as well. This will help you avoid things like frustration and resentment at not having your own needs met. You want to discover the reason behind his anger, but you want to protect yourself in the process. Some people prefer to avoid direct confrontation and choose to talk with a friend or family member, but if the person finds out you went behind his back, it could make him even more angry. The indirect approach is best considered as a backup plan. Being upfront is usually the best option. Being assertive in this manner will cultivate an honest relationship and you will gain the respect of the other person. This will help to establish common ground, since you are pointing to things that you can both experience as true, rather than personal feelings which can seem true for one person but not the other. Example: "You are not letting me finish my sentence" versus "Stop being so rude and cutting me off" This will give the disagreement a solid foundation, to which he can respond and share his feelings on what you have put out there. He may not agree with how you have framed the issue, but this will let him know where you stand and create the conditions for more in-depth dialogue. Important nonverbal considerations such as posture, eye contact, and a steady tone of voice will show the other person that you are receptive, but also firm in your convictions and self-respect. This will create an equal playing field, so that the person's angry temperament does not override your need to carve out space for yourself as well.

Article in English: Find a clean, small clean bucket. The bucket needs to be deep enough so the hamster can't get back out, but shallow enough to not risk injury, put a clean blanket in the bottom to cushion it's fall. The bucket should be approximately 10" deep.  Make sure that the bucket you are using is tall enough so it can't escape.  Put a towel or shavings on the bottom to cushion your hamster when it falls in. You need to lure the hamster to the bucket. To do this, place fragrant food inside, such as peanut butter or apples. You also can put a toilet paper roll inside the bucket.  Put some cucumber inside so your hamster can stay hydrated, do not put a ceramic dish inside in case, it could injure itself in the fall. Pile a few books, CD cases, or DVDs to act as steps into a bucket. You can also make Lego stairs, use hamster tubes from the cage, or build a ramp with a piece of wood. The stairs should lead up to the rim of the bucket. Cover the top of the bucket with tissue paper. Your hamster will climb onto the paper and fall into the bucket. Leave a trail of treats or hamster food leading to the bucket, and then up the steps and into the bucket. Line the steps up to the top of the bucket, and a place a small pile of food on the paper. Don't put too much food on the steps leading to the bucket. You want to lure the hamster, not make it full so it won't investigate further. If you haven't narrowed the hamster's location down to a single room, place a bucket trap in each room. Similar to the bucket, use wax paper and a trashcan. Place wax paper or tinfoil over a trashcan. Do not fasten the paper or foil, simply rest it there. Lean a yardstick or ruler against the trashcan. This will allow your hamster to walk up the stick and onto the paper.  Make a line of food or treats up the ruler and place a few in the center of the paper or foil. Make sure to use a shallow trashcan. The hamster should not fall any farther than 10 inches.

Article in English: Find a dresser that is suitable to make into a kitchen island. Overly long or very heavy dressers will make poor kitchen islands. Instead, look for something which is roughly the length and width of the area you want to occupy in your kitchen. If you want the island to be a different color when it's done, paint the dresser now as it will be more difficult to do once the top has been replaced. If the top of the dresser is too low, you can raise it to proper height by adding legs (if you want it stationary), wheels (if you want it mobile), or both (if you need more height than just wheels can provide).  Be sure to factor in any changes you will be making to the countertop, as adding a thicker countertop will also add height. How these legs and wheels are added will vary widely depending on the style of the dresser. Consult with a local expert for advice and be sure to follow any additional instructions included with the packaging of wheels or legs. If the back of the dresser is unsightly or damaged, replace it by cutting or having cut a custom-sized piece of MDF or particleboard. Carefully remove the old one and then nail the new one into place.  You can add usability to the back by painting it with chalkboard paint to create a blackboard for writing grocery lists or as doodle space for the kids. Another way to use the space would be to screw hooks or bars into and solid, stationary sections on the other side of the backing. These can be used to hang kitchen towels, paper towels, oven mitts, or kitchen tools. If you want to have a more food-prep friendly countertop, you can carefully remove the existing dresser top and replace it with a custom-sized countertop of your preferred material. If the existing top is fairly rectangular with clean, straight edges, you should be able to tile it easily. What you do will largely depend on your skills, needs, and preferences.

Wrap the remaining string around the end of the stick. Tie 2–3 feet (0.61–0.91 m) of thin fishing line to the end of the string, as this will make it easier to attach the hook. Thread a small fishing hook onto the end of the line. When it’s time to fish, unwind enough string from the end of the pole for the hook to reach the required depth.

These schools are looking for enthusiastic teachers, so you might want to include words like "deep interest" "overwhelming passion" "intellectually stimulating" and so on. For example "I have held a deep interest in Japan and teaching since I was in junior high school. In our history class, we learned how to write our name in katakana and it really piqued my curiosity in the culture. Furthermore, I have an overwhelming passion for learning and teaching and hope to pursue it in my future." Using these words will let the employer know more about your personality.  Your essay should show your personality, but it should also reflect your English ability. You will probably be required to teach students from beginners to advanced. Using advanced vocabulary and expressions will make your essay stand out. For example, instead of saying "I have always wanted to be a teacher." say "I have always had my heart set on a teaching career." Do not use slang, which can be considered unprofessional. Being professional is extremely important and these schools pride themselves on that image. Show that you are a well educated, determined, professional, and competent individual with a lot of energy and passion. This is pretty simple. If you don't know how to do this, there are some great articles about writing resumes on wikiHow. A sure way to get your application denied is to have it be riddled with spelling and grammar mistakes. Proofread it several times and have someone else read it too. If you really aren't sure about some of the grammar, read about grammar rules on the internet. Chances are, you will be doing...

Article in English: Find a suitable workbench and secure the master cylinder to it. Put rags beneath the master cylinder to catch brake fluid and prevent it from damaging your work surface. If the master cylinder came with a new reservoir already attached, that’s great. If not, install either a new or old reservoir to it. Then, fill both the reservoir and the master cylinder with brake fluid. It’s crucial that the master cylinder stays filled with brake fluid during this process or you’ll have to start over. Depress the piston on the master cylinder, use the fingers on your other hand to cover all of the brake line ports, then let the piston go. Ensure your fingers are covering the ports completely or air will get sucked into them when you release the piston. Keep your fingers over the brake line ports and use your other hand to put more brake fluid in the master cylinder or reservoir if it’s low. Depress the piston again and allow a little fluid to come out of the brake line ports. Then, seal the ports and release the piston. Remember to keep your fingers firmly over the ports when you release the piston so air doesn’t get into the master cylinder. If necessary, keep adding fluid to the reservoir. Once brake fluid comes out of each port when you depress the piston, the master cylinder is ready for installation. Put the cap on the reservoir when you’re done.

Article in English: Find a t-shirt, letterman’s jacket, or sweatshirt that has your name on it and give it to your boyfriend or girlfriend. Trading clothing with your name on it is a great way to be a cute couple. Trade clothing even if it doesn’t have your name on it. You’ll feel closer to each other and people will notice. If you are very different in size, this may not always work. Small people can wear big clothes, but big people in small clothes might look silly rather than cute. If you want to wear your partner’s clothes, even if they are tight, though, go for it. When the school semester is dragging on, or you are bored in the hot days of summer, pick out each other’s clothes and wear what your partner chooses. Have fun styling each other in fancy or silly outfits. Make each other look good and increase your cuteness as a couple.  Pick a theme for each day like what you’d wear to a fancy dinner, how’d you dress on a day off, or an unfashionable, mismatched outfit for something silly. Make a deal that you have to wear whatever you pick out for each other. Be sure to tell people that you styled each other that week. Any chance you get to wear a costume is a perfect opportunity to match. Select a famous character couple from a book, TV, or movie. Dress up as different versions of the same character or theme. Be sure it’s obvious that your costumes go together.  Look at costumes that people have already designed or come up with an original idea and design it yourself. For example, you could dress up as Ash and Pikachu from Pokemon, Red Riding Hood and the Wolf, or a slice of pizza and the pizza delivery guy. Look through each other’s closets and find outfits that match. If you have the exact same shirt, like from a club or sports team, this always works. Choose similar color schemes or patterns that make you look great together.  The main goal is to be on the same level of fanciness in your attire. If one person wears a nice dress and the other wears sweatpants, it’s not really matching. Wear jeans and flannels, your fanciest...

Article in English: Find an empty paper towel tube and remove any bits of paper that may still be clinging to it. Cut a straight slit going from top-to-bottom with scissors so that you can open the tube into a flat sheet. If you want a smaller pencil case, you can use an empty toilet paper tube instead. You will only be able to keep small items in it, like erasers or crayons, however. This simply means that you cut the circles with a 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) wide border all around. If you need to, sketch a new cutting line around the circles first, then cut the circles out. You won't be sewing the case, but you still need the seam allowances in order to glue the circles down.

Article in English: Find an open area and stop your vehicle on the shoulder or side of the road. Get as far away as you can from utility poles, large structures, bridges, and any other potential hazards. Pay attention to surrounding traffic, and stop only when it's safe to do so. Don't stop abruptly, or vehicles to the rear might collide with you. The car may jiggle violently during an earthquake, but stay put and try to remain calm. You're safer in a car than outside, since vehicles offer protection from debris and falling objects. Turn on your radio, as channels should be broadcasting emergency broadcast information. Listen for reports of road closures or hazards on the emergency broadcast. When the shaking stops, resume driving and keep your eye out for damaged roadways, sinkholes, unsound bridges, and any other potential hazards. If a power line has fallen on your vehicle or you're otherwise unable to travel, stay put. Call emergency services, and wait for first responders.

Board games are a great way to have fun while spending as little money as possible. After the initial purchase, it's free entertainment forever! You can have food or drinks at home, play with friends, and have just as much fun as going out on an expensive date.

Article in English: Find or buy a schoolbag that has little or no design. Having a blank canvas will make the process of decorating easier and more fun!  If you are planning on drawing or tie-dying your bag, you want a lighter background (e.g. white, cream, or light blue). Added colors will not show up on a dark background. Dark colors such as navy or black are better background colors if you are adding things like patches, beads, glitter, or other appliques. Do you want something fun and colorful? Fashionable? Or something unique that reflects your personality and interests? Before you begin decorating, think about the type of message you want to convey. Make a list of everything you need to complete your project, this will save you time and prevent stress down the road.. Look around your house or apartment for supplies, or make a trip to a craft or fabric store.  Read any instructions carefully before starting any type of DIY or craft project. Do not be afraid to ask for help if needed, especially if you are inexperienced using a sewing machine, fabric dyes, or an exacto knife. The easiest way to customize a schoolbag is by using fabric pens or sharpies to draw anything from abstract designs to people, animals, or landscapes. Lay your bag on a hard surface and place a piece of cardboard under the fabric to provide a flat surface to draw-on, and prevent colors from soaking through.  Purchase fabric pens or markers from a craft store. These come in different tip sizes, and the ink is designed to adhere to fabric. Regular permanent markers may fade or run overtime.  Iron over the decorated area on a medium setting to help the colors to set. Remember you can't undo or erase your drawings. Make a sketch first on a piece of paper, and practice drawing with fabric markers on old jeans or a t-shirt before using them on your schoolbag.

Article in English: Find out how many gallons of fuel your vehicle's fuel tank holds. For each 1 gallon (4 L) of fuel, you will need to add 1 oz (30 ml) of Seafoam. Adding Seafoam directly to the fuel tank will provide a variety of benefits. It can clean deposits left behind in the fuel injectors, thereby making your vehicle run more smoothly. It can also control moisture buildup in the fuel, stabilize the fuel, and lubricate the upper cylinders. Go to the gas station and fill the vehicle's gas tank with high octane gasoline.  When filling the tank, make sure that you leave enough room in the tank to add the calculated amount of Seafoam afterward. While Seafoam can technically be used with any octane gas, it is recommended that you use it with 91 octane or higher. Fuel with a higher octane number requires a greater amount of heat and compression to ignite, leading to improved performance. The Seafoam can provide a greater benefit to the vehicle under these conditions, as well. Place a long-neck funnel in the fuel tank and pour your calculated amount of Seafoam directly into the fuel tank.  Pour the product slowly to avoid spills. Using a funnel will also help prevent spills. Due to the design of the bottle and the position of the fuel tank opening, it is nearly impossible to pour Seafoam directly from the bottle and into the fuel tank without the use of a funnel. Put the fuel tank cap back on and drive your car at a steady pace for at least five to ten minutes.  As you drive, the Seafoam should mix into the gasoline, improving the quality of the gasoline and cleaning the fuel injectors at the same time. Try to run this tank of gasoline until the vehicle is nearly empty to maximize the effectiveness of the Seafoam. After completing this step, the process is complete.

Article in English: Find out how serious the person is about taking their life. Get all the information you can. This way you can take appropriate action to prevent their suicide.  Ask the person, “Are you considering suicide right now? In the next few hours, days, or weeks? Find out if they have a plan and the means to do it by asking, “Do you have a plan for how to do it? Do you already have the weapon?” Keep in mind that they may not be honest about their intent. Consider their warning signs and risk factors, as well as what they tell you. This acronym stands for Connect, Listen, Understand, Express concern, and Seek help.  Using the steps of ‘CLUES’ will help you remember what to do to prevent a suicide or help someone else in trouble. One of the worst things for a person contemplating suicide is feeling that no one understands or cares. The key is to help this person stop feeling invisible. Talking to them builds a connection and lets them know that you care.  Actively show that you hear what is being said and understand that their pain is real. Telling them things like, “It’s not that bad” or “Things will get better” doesn’t help and may make the person feel like you don’t understand or aren’t listening to them. Instead, say things like, “You aren’t alone. I’m here to listen and help” or “I may not understand exactly how you feel, but I know I want to help you in any way I can.” If the person is upset, admits they are considering suicide, and/or shows a lot of the warning signs for suicide, don’t leave them alone. Stay with them, talk with them, and listen to what they have to say.   You don’t have to say a lot, or even anything. Just being present with them and listening to them talk about how they feel can prevent a suicide. If you can’t stay, then contact someone else that you and the person trust to come stay. Don’t leave until the other person arrives. Remove any distractions (cut off the TV, log-off the computer) so that you can focus on the person, but keep your phone nearby so you can call for help. Although you...

Article in English: Find out if your coworkers think that online browsing will enhance their productivity. Take a poll and use their input to back your independent research. Before approaching coworkers, select a handful of peers who work in a variety of departments to provide input. Identify specific employees who are fully engaged in their job and care about the company. Compile a short list of questions (10 or less) that will allow you to gauge whether employees share your enthusiasm. Refer to your studies, independent research and be direct and to the point with each question. For example, word questions such as, “List three reasons why you would be in favor or against online browsing during office hours.” Most coworkers will jump with glee at the idea of unlimited online access. While you need them onside, be careful not to oversell the possibilities––stay realistic! You do need to point out limitations and expectations that would probably attach to unlimited online browsing rights (such as their responsibilities and sites they'd probably not be able to use at work). Also take into account relevant security protocols in your workplace––if you don't, someone will point this out.

Article in English: Find out what time of day you do your best work and structure your to-do list around those hours. If you’re a morning person, wake up and get busy before you stall out and lose motivation. Night owls can divide their chores up between regular working hours and free time after everyone else has gone to bed. Most people are realistically only able to stay focused for a few hours a day, so be sure that you’re making the best use of that time.  Develop a habit of working at the same time every day, and make yourself stick to it. If you keep odd or irregular hours, let others know when you’re working to keep from being bothered. Have a clear idea in mind of what you need to get done and take care of the biggest challenges first. That way, you’ll at least be assured that the most crucial tasks have been dealt with. Be able to prioritize wisely so that any leftover work can be knocked out with minimal time and energy. After a while, the anxiety of facing a mountain of unfinished work will disappear. When you have a proposal to outline, meetings to schedule and emails to answer, it can be easy to start feeling overwhelmed. By completing the outline first, however, then using the rest of your day to get your schedule in order and follow up on correspondences, you can save yourself a lot of rush and stress. Rather than looking at everything you need to do at once, assign yourself one or two daily goals to achieve. Keep these goals small and attainable. You might find that you have a hard time motivating yourself go out and build a fence around your backyard if you can only think of how much time, effort and expense it will take. If you instead tell yourself that you only need to dig the holes for the posts one day, then plant them the next day, and so on, your responsibilities will no longer seem so daunting.  Start with modest, specific daily minimums and build them up as you grow more confident. You’re much more likely to exceed your expectations if you resolve to spend ten minutes on the treadmill, rather than...

Article in English: Find regular times and places where you can take a break, and take time out to pray. Look for a quiet place in your building at work where you can go to pray during your breaks, for example. Or go into nature to pray, and find a place by a great tree in a park. You can mark off a consistent time in your schedule to go to this place.   Set a daily alarm to go off in your phone or make a repeating email reminder for yourself. Go to the place you do your prayers, and sit there until you are ready to pray. For instance kneel, fold your arms in front of you, and close your eyes to pray is a suggested posture. Try different postures depending on where you are. For example, if you are praying in a park you might cross your legs, and lay your hands on your knees. Don’t make demands, instead ask for help from your father for guidance, peace, and comfort. End the prayer "in the name of Jesus" when you pray to God through Jesus. Pray for your family, your teachers, your government officials, the poor, and yourself.   The thumb can represent your family and the close relationships that are your supports. It is the most sturdy finger, and that is why it represents the family. The index finger, as a pointing finger, can be the finger that represents guidance in your life, or it might stand for those who show you the way and help you. For example, this could be bosses, pastors, teachers, mentors, friends, and even those who provide you health care like your doctors and nurses.. The middle finger is the tallest finger on your hand, and it can be used to remind you to pray for the people in power in your country and in the world: government officials, world leaders, politicians, etc. The ring finger is the weakest finger and therefore may remind you to pray for those who are people who are suffering from poverty and any ailments they do not wish to have. The last, smallest finger represents yourself. Don't forget to pray for yourself. Use objects or play music to help focus you on your prayer. For example, pray while looking...
