Article in English: A weight bridge is far more accurate and should be used instead of a tape if available. Condition scoring is the best form of recording weight changes. Weigh your horse every 2 weeks and plot the changes on a graph. The requirement is between 1.5 to 3% of its body weight, averaging at 2.5%. Use the following equation to determine how much you should feed your horse each day: BodyWeight/100x2.5=Total Daily Ration Do you want to keep your horse at the level it is already at (maintenance diet)? Do you want to reduce the horse’s weight because of health issues (reduction diet)? Or, do you want to increase your horse’s body weight due to a past illness or because your horse is underweight?  The best strategy to use when developing a feeding plan for your horse is to feed based on the desired weight, rather than the current weight. e.g. A horse is underweight and weighs 300kg. If the horse’s ideal weight is 400kg, don't feed 2.5% of 300kg. Feed 2.5% of 400kg. Use the same strategy for an overweight horse. Feed based on the desired weight, and not current, meaning you will actually be feeding less that the overweight amount, meaning, a reduction of waistline for your horse. Different forage have different amounts of DE (digestible energy) this depends on the type of forage (grass, haylage, hay, oat straw) and the type of grass (rye, timothy, cocksfoot or orchard grass). For grazing the time of year also affect the DE. Spring grass has a high level while winter grazing is very poor. For preserved grass the “cut” affects the DE. Early cut grass is higher in DE than late cut grass. Oat Straw is very low in DE. The best way to find out the nutritious in your forage is to have it analyzed. Some horses are prone to heating up (becoming over excited and spooky). Feeding these horses slow-release energy (fiber and oil) will help, this is the safest form of energy and causes the least amount of health problems. Other horses are lazy and lack “sparkle”. Feeding fast-release energy (starch found in cereals/grains like oats and...

Article in English: A well-balanced diet of whole foods, fresh fruits, and plentiful vegetables can do wonders for your skin. A healthy body means healthy skin! In turn, healthy skin is more likely to be free of blemishes, imperfections, uneven complexion issues, and red or dry patches.  Eat fruits and vegetables of all colors to ensure you get a rich variety of vitamins and minerals. Eat foods that are rich in vitamin C, which can help make your skin paler. Vitamin C also promotes skin elasticity because it helps the body with collagen production.  Consume foods and drinks that are high in antioxidants. This can help fight the signs of aging, including dull, discolored, and wrinkled skin. There is such a thing as too much water, but your skin and body still need to be hydrated for proper health. Drink when you are thirsty, especially if you are exercising. Hydrating your skin should help keep it from becoming dry and flaky, and it may even promote a "glowing" appearance. Cardiovascular exercise is great for your heart and lungs, and it also promotes circulation. Strong circulation is essential for healthy skin. Exercise also reduces stress, which can help alleviate conditions that cause redness (e.g. acne and eczema.) People who suffer from skin conditions like rosacea, psoriasis, or eczema should exercise in cool environments to avoid flare-ups. Moisturize before and after a workout to keep the skin happy. To take care of your skin: wash it daily with a gentle cleanser, exfoliate once or twice a week, and moisturize daily. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, which can leave your skin looking fresher and cleaner. Dirt can often contribute to darker-looking skin. Like exercise, a skin massage can promote healthy circulation. Before bed, take a few moments to massage lotion or aloe vera thoroughly into your skin.

Article in English: A well-fed betta is a happy betta. There are many brands that carry fish food specifically made for betta fish on the market, and you should avoid giving bettas food that is made for other types of fish, even tropical fish. The types of food made for betta are usually pellets or flakes made up of whole fish meal, shrimp meal, whole dried krill, and some other vitamins and soybean and/or whole wheat flour. Betta are carnivores, so they need a varied and high protein diet. If you can spare the extra expense, you can feed bettas mosquito larva, live brine shrimp, live worms, or frozen and/or freeze-dried live food. Be extra cautious when feeding betta live food, however, for the reasons explained in step 3. Also, be sure that live food is fresh (not rotted) and clean (rinse it with clean water first) or you risk giving your betta an illness such as Dropsy. Feed only what he can eat within two minutes. This is very important. If you feed twice a day, you should feed less (only 2-3 pellets) each time. Bettas have small appetites, so you don’t want to overfeed them. Uneaten food left in the tank will contribute to poor water quality and may lead to disease in your betta. If your betta has an extended belly (it sticks out a lot near the lower fin), you may be feeding him too much. This can cause bladder problems in some types of betta. Especially beware of overfeeding if you ever feed your betta live food (mosquito larva, live brine shrimp or worms). They are more prone to overeat when offered live food. It’s even okay to skip feeding for a day once a week, to let the digestive system of your betta rest.

Article in English: A well-organized manual starts with an outline that previews its contents. It should then break down each topic into digestible chunks with a clear, logical order. A good structure introduces broad concepts first, presents more detailed information step by step, then briefly summarizes key points. You should provide a printed manual so the trainee can take notes as they go. In addition, email them a digital copy of the training manual, employee handbook, and other materials. That way, they can always refer to the email if they don’t have the hard copies handy. The training manual should also include a comprehensive job description that lists their essential duties, skills, and performance goals. It’s also helpful to include a performance review rubric so they clearly understand what the company expects of them. A company hierarchy flow chart will let trainees know how departments are structured, who their heads are, and who reports to whom. It’s also helpful to give trainees a list of people in their department.  Make sure they have all necessary contact info for anyone within or outside of the company (such as vendors or clients). Depending on the industry, make sure the manual covers emergency procedures and safety standards. If necessary, check with the appropriate government agency, such the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), to find out what your safety training needs to cover. The manual shouldn’t just include information about day to day tasks. It should communicate the company’s history, values, vision, and goals. Remember, you don’t just want a body in a cubicle. You want someone who actively engages and represents the company culture. Additional resources vary by industry, but might include annual reports, marketing materials, and old presentations. It’s wise to compile these on the company intranet or password-protected section on the website. In order to prevent overwhelming them, let them know that these helpful resources are at their disposal, but not required reading.

Article in English: A well-organized set of lecture notes is one of the most important tools in your exam-studying arsenal. Scattered, lost, incomplete and non-sequential notes create stress and take up valuable time that could be spent studying, not scavenging.  Here are a few ways to organize your notes to avoid these pitfalls.  Color-coordinate the folders and notebooks for each of your courses. For example, buy a green notebook and folder for science, a blue notebook and folder for history, a red notebook and folder for literature and so forth. On the first page, write the title of the lecture and the date and begin taking notes. Start each subsequent lecture on a new page and again write the title and date. If you miss a class, leave several pages blank in your notebook, ask a friend or your teacher if you can get those notes and insert them into the blank pages. Another way to organize your notes is by purchasing a three-ring spiral binder, loose-leaf paper, subject dividers and 3-ring pocket folders for handouts and assignments. For your first course, insert plenty of loose-leaf paper, then insert a 3-ring pocket folder and finally a divider. Repeat for the next course. If you are on an alternating-day schedule, purchase two 3-ring binders. Put science and history in one and literature and art in the other, for example. If your teacher allows you to use your laptop in class for taking notes, create a folder for each course. For each lecture, either a) start a new document and “save as” the date followed by an abbreviated title of the lecture (doing this will help when it comes time to study as you will be able to quickly see the order of the lectures by date) or b) create a running document, in which you type the title of the lecture and the date at the start of each lecture. Leave some space between lectures, and bold and enlarge the font of the lecture title and date so you can easily see when a new one begins. Reading before class primes those all-important neural networks, kind of like warming up gets your body ready...

Article in English: A well-timed smile can work wonders. Make your smile look as natural as possible, and use it to express self-confidence and an appreciation of the company you're presently keeping.  Smiling is especially important if you are trying to make a good impression on a woman. Typically speaking, a man has more physical power than the average woman has. Most women know this and will stay away from you if they perceive you to be potentially dangerous or violent. Smiling sends the message that you are friendly and less likely to be a threat.  Make sure that you are smiling and not leering, though. An appreciative grin or quick flash of your pearly whites is all it takes. If you stare her down hungrily with a huge smile plastered across your face, you could end up seeming more creepy than suave. While there can be some appeal to a guy who seems a little aloof, aloofness and suaveness do not blend well. If you want to be a suave gentleman, you need to use body language that seems warm and welcoming so that the people around you feel comfortable.  An example of closed body language would be crossing your arms. This puts a physical barrier in between you and he person you are speaking to. Likewise, pointing your body or head in a direction pointing away from the person you're talking to conveys the message that your attention is directed, in part, toward something else.  People revert to closed body language because it feels safer and reduces the risk of rejection. To seem suave, you need to expect and invite people to accept you, which requires open body language. Eye contact lets the people around you know that you're listening and paying attention to them. Plus, focusing on eye contact can prevent your eyes from straying to other areas that you could get in trouble for staring at.  Direct eye contact can also make you seem more attractive to women. It produces a physiological response that keeps the brain interested, and as a result, you seem more interesting, as well. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing,...

Article in English: A whelping box is one in which the dog gives birth. It should also keep the puppies warm and protect them from being squashed if their mother lies on them.  The box should have 4 sides and a base. Choose a length and width that allows the mother to lie down with her head and legs extended. Add half her height again to the width of the box, which will be used to create a space for the puppies. Make sure the sides are tall enough that puppies will stay in but the mother can jump out without difficulty. You can buy a whelping box at most pet stores. You can also use a cardboard box, or you can make a box out of hardboard or plywood. Acquire 2 large, stiff boxes, such as television or appliance boxes. Cut one end out of each box and push them together to make one longer box. The puppies will need a safe haven in the box where the mother can’t lie on them (which could suffocate them). Mark the additional width in the box, and install a sturdy wooden rail raised about 4-6 inches from the bottom of the box.  A broom handle works well as a rail in the box. This is especially important when the puppies are over 2 weeks old and are more mobile. Line the floor with plenty of newspaper and some thick towels. Alternatively, use a vetbed, which is a polyester fleece that wicks dampness away from the bitch and puppies. After you’ve constructed the puppy area, place a heat mat underneath the paper in this area. After the puppies are born, you’ll turn this heat mat on to a low setting. This helps the puppies to keep warm while they are away from the mother.  An alternative to a heat mat is a heat lamp, angled towards one corner of the box to provide a warm spot. However, a heat lamp provides dry heat, which can dry out the puppy’s skin. If you have to use a lamp, be sure to check the puppies regularly for flaky or red skin. Remove the lamp if this happens.  Use a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel to provide temporary warmth. During the whelping, the dog may want to feel like she is in a den. This helps her feel secure,...

Article in English: A wide selection of herbs and plant supplements purported to cause breast growth are available for sale both online and at natural healing stores. Though some women swear by these natural medicines, none have been scientifically proven to be as effective as traditional "Western" cures and should be regarded with a healthy degree of skepticism. Additionally, certain naturopathic herbs can cause potentially serious complications in people who are taking certain medications (especially blood thinners), so you'll always want to talk to a doctor before beginning a course of herbal supplements. Some herbs that allegedly encourage breast growth are:  Saw palmetto Fennel Kava Wild yam Chaste tree berry Black cohosh Fenugreek Pueraria Mirifica In addition to the herbal supplements that claim to enlarge breasts, many topical lotions, oils, and creams claim a similar effect. As with herbs, there is little scientific evidence (if any) that these solutions have a significant effect on breast growth, though some women claim to have used these topical cures successfully. Before attempting to use any of these methods, contact a doctor to discuss more effective, verifiable ways to achieve your breast enlargement goals. Note that some actual hormonal medications, like estrogen, come in a topical  form. At sufficient dosages, these medications are actually known to cause breast growth. Be careful not to confuse these hormonal creams, which can have other side effects, with naturopathic medicines. Some sources claim that, by massaging the breasts with proper technique, it's possible to cause slight breast growth. Sometimes, these sources recommend the use of special oils, creams, or gadgets to encourage growth. Though this may feel good and lead to relaxation, which can cause an improvement in mood and posture, there is no scientific evidence that breasts can be stimulated to grow via massage. However, because this method is relatively safe and inexpensive (unless you buy a massage aid available for sale from naturopathic...

Article in English: A wide variety of prescription medications can interfere with fertility. If you're concerned about your fertility, talk to your doctor about any existing medications. See if anything you're taking is having an adverse effect on your fertility, and whether you can try a different medication.  Medications used to treat anxiety and depression may have an effect on sperm count. Certain medications used to treat an enlarged prostate can also cause fertility issues. Medications used for fungal infections may also adversely affect fertility. Infertility is a medical condition in which the body does not produce viable sperm. If you suspect you're infertile, make an appointment with your doctor for evaluation. Your doctor will do a physical examination of the external genitalia and skin and do a semen analysis. Your doctor may also test for autoantibodies and other biochemical derangements, complete sperm chromatin and DNA analyses, do genetic testing for the CFTR gene, and do endocrine tests to see if you have a pituitary or testosterone problem. You may notice some of the following symptoms:  Difficulty achieving an erection, a lower sex drive, and problems with overall sexual function Pain, discomfort, or a lump around the testicles Recent surgery around the groin A history of sexual problems, or problems with the prostate If you have any STIs, seek treatment right away. A round of antibiotics may be necessary to treat a sexually transmitted infection. If your fertility issues are caused by an STI, treatment will be necessary to correct the issue. Talk to your doctor about the right treatments, and ask him or her about anything else you need to do to restore fertility. Hormonal treatments are occasionally used to correct fertility issues. If your doctor finds you have a hormonal imbalance affecting fertility, talk to him or her about your options in terms of hormonal treatments.  High or low levels of certain hormones can affect fertility. Synthetic replacement hormones can help correct this problem. Your doctor...

Article in English: A wide variety of recent studies have shown vitamin D to be an effective preventative measure for a number of chronic diseases. In particular, it’s known to increase increases the body’s ability to absorb calcium, preventing bone health issues from rickets to osteomalacia (bone softening) and osteoporosis.  Other studies suggest that raising your vitamin D levels can lower blood pressure, decrease the chances of having a heart attack or stroke, and reduce the risk of diabetes, autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. It’s important to make a concerted effort to bring up vitamin D levels in your body because deficiencies have been linked to a wide variety of chronic illness. Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to type 1 diabetes, chronic muscle and bone pain, and several types of cancer, including breast, colon, prostate, ovarian, esophageal, and lymphatic cancers. About 40-75% of people are vitamin D-deficient, largely because it’s not abundant in natural food sources and many people live in areas with insufficient sun exposure. Furthermore, more recent awareness of the link between UV rays and cancer has increased the use of sunscreen, which lowers the production of vitamin D. Though 40-75% of people don't have enough vitamin D in their systems, those who fall into certain categories are at an even higher risk of deficiency. It's important to be aware of your risk, so you can take steps to track and maintain your vitamin D levels. At risk categories include:  People who suffer from gallimau free, or sun sickness. These are people to whom sunlight is toxic. People who rarely venture outdoors, People who are sun-phobic People with poor nutrition resulting in extreme light sensitivity Babies who are exclusively breast-fed Those who suffer from a fat malabsorption disease Those who wear head-to-toe covering clothing daily The elderly, for whom skin absorption is less effective People who are indoors all day — for example, in a nursing home, etc. Some people with strict dietary...

Article in English: A wide variety of verbs can be changed to nouns with the addition of the suffixes "-ance" or "-ence." For example, the verb "appear" can become "appearance." The verb "resist" can become "resistance." For example, look at the sentence, "He appeared on many talk shows while promoting his book." If you wanted to change the verb to a noun, you could say, "He made many talk show appearances while promoting his book." Other verbs require the suffix "-ment" to be converted to nouns. For example, "appoint,", "assign," and "enjoy" can become "appointment," "assignment", and "enjoyment." For example, look at the sentence, "The man enjoyed his lunch." If you wanted to change the verb to a noun, you could say, "The man's lunch brought him enjoyment." ". The suffixes "-tion" and "-sion" are found at the end of many nouns. A wide variety of verbs turn into nouns with these suffixes. For example, "inform", "decide", and "describe" can become "information," "decision," and "description."

Article in English: A wide, padded clothes hanger is the best option for minimizing wrinkles and stretch. Avoid using clothes pegs, which cause a great deal of stress to a small area. Direct sunlight can fade the leather's color or cause spotty discoloration. Heat can cause dryness and cracking, so store the jacket in a cool location away from heating vents and other heat sources. Leather will last longer if exposed to dry air, especially a light draft. Never store leather inside a plastic bag or underneath plastic sheeting. When storing leather in a bag temporarily, open the bag whenever convenient to expose it to the air. Storing your jacket inside a closet is fine, unless the closet is unusually hot or damp. Leather can absorb insecticides. If this occurs, it may not be possible to remove the smell, or even the toxin, from the jacket. In addition, mothballs and similar home pesticides are most effective in small containers, which are not ideal homes for leather.

Article in English: A wild spring swarm is a cluster of bees that have left their hive.  You can usually find them temporarily hanging from a tree or bush during the springtime.  During that time of year, the swarms will be relatively docile while they prepare to establish a new hive.  This is the least expensive, but most dangerous method.   With beekeeping gear on, you can gather the bees and their queen into an empty hive. Place a box below the branch of a tree or bush the bees are currently swarming on.  You may be able to shake the branch, causing the majority of the bees to fall in the box but this could anger the bees.  Instead, simply cut the branch they are swarming on off the tree and place it in the box for transport.  This method is not recommended without support from an experienced beekeeper. You may be able to purchase an established hive from a local beekeeper.  This can be the easiest way to get started as well as a great way to provide you with a contact that has beekeeping experience.  These hives usually only cost between $50 and $100. Make sure the hive you purchase has been formally inspected by an apiarist or the state department of agriculture.  Either test is free to have conducted and can prevent you from having to destroy colonies with communicable diseases. The easiest and most common way to make sure you can establish a hive of healthy honey bees is to order your bees through the mail.  The U.S. Postal Service will actually deliver your bees right to your door.  A beginner order would usually cost about $30 and entail the following:  A 3-pound box with 10,000 worker honey bees One mated queen that is ready to start laying eggs Sugar water to feed the colony during shipment It’s surprisingly easy and safe to transfer your bees from the package they came into their new hive that you purchased for them.  This process is detailed in instructions that often come with the bees as well.  Simply place the separately caged queen into the empty hive Pour the bees out of the box onto the queen The bees do not...

Article in English: A window that faces south or west may be the best choice. Your rosemary needs, at minimum, six hours of direct sun. If you do not have a window that can provide your plant with adequate sun, fluorescent grow lights can work just as well. Place the lights 6 inches (15.24 centimeters) above the top of your plant and leave it on for 14 hours per day. Rosemary thrives in a little dryness, but do not allow the soil to dry out completely. When you water, do so thoroughly, but do not allow the soil to become soggy. During the spring, summer, and autumn, the room's natural humidity should suffice. During dry winters when the furnace comes on, however, you may need to provide your rosemary with extra humidity by sitting the pot on a humidity tray, or by running a humidifier in the room a few hours each day. Feeding your rosemary once or twice a month with a balanced liquid fertilizer should do fine. Dilute the fertilizer with equal parts water before applying it to your plant. Rosemary can get powdery mildew if the air around it grows too stagnant and stale. Letting a fan blow on it for a few hours each day dramatically improves air circulation and decreases this risk. You can also treat your rosemary before it gets a fungal disease, but many gardeners prefer to use as few chemicals as possible, making post-disease treatment more favorable than preventative treatment. Indoor plants do not get infested as often, but it can still happen. Neem oil is harmless to humans and most pets, making it safe to use on plants intended for consumption. Snipping above a joint allows new growth to continue forming on that stem. Never remove more than 1/3 of the plant at one time.

Article in English: A wolf hybrid, also called a wolf-dog, is an exotic animal that is a mixture of a domesticated dog and a wild wolf. Most consider an animal a wolf hybrid if they have a pure wolf ancestor. This wolf should be at the most 5 generations back to be considered a wolf hybrid. However, consider why do you feel the need to own a wild animal in a domesticated setting. They are mostly considered companions instead of pets.  Low Content (LC) hybrids only contain 1-49% wolf content. Mid Content (MC) hybrids contain 50-74% wolf content. High Content (HC) hybrids are 75%+ wolf. HC hybrids are almost indistinguishable from a pure wolf. They may only contain 1-3 dog traits.  While a LC hybrid won't act like a dog, they are better for someone new to wolf-dogs. They are more outgoing, easier to train, though they still have the wolf stubbornness and independence. Wolf ownership is not legal everywhere. In the United States, the legality of owning a wolf varies from state the state. Some states completely ban private ownership, some ban only certain exotic animals, others require a license, and others have no laws. Look up your state, region, or country's laws to make sure it is legal for you to own this type of animal. Some states allow up to 98% wolf; others draw the line at 75%, 25%, or "no first generation crosses". Wolves and wolf hybrids are not cheap. They average around $1500 and can go over $2000. This is more expensive than most purebred dogs. Decide if that is the kind of money you would like to spend on an animal.  There is no way to prove the animal's pedigree. Experts at Wolfdog Rescue Resources, Inc. state that over half of the wolf hybrids being kept actually possess no wolf DNA. Other experts claim that the majority of wolf dog breeders are selling "hybrids" that actually are only dogs.  When buying a wolf or wolf dog, make sure to get it checked out by an expert if at all possible. This can save you from dropping thousands of dollars on a fake. If you are still interested in owning a wolf or wolf hybrid,...

Article in English: A woman may influence others more if she demonstrates motivation for her life. Females with aspirations and commitments can be very appealing.  Be intentional and specific in your goals and aspirations.  You can create daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly goals. Write them down and remind yourself of them regularly. Amend any goals as you go along. One way to get motivated is through creative means. Try drawing out your goals. What do you want for your life and yourself? If you smile, laugh and speak with enthusiasm about what you have going on in your life---men may see that you are motivated and confident and take you seriously. Keep in mind this can depend on how long you keep up with a task. If you are constantly changing your goals and are indecisive with what you want from your life this may leave doubt in people's minds.  If you have children, discuss their latest successes in school with a smile and comment on how proud you are of them. Discuss any new business ideas you might have, or creative thoughts if they appear interested. Working on a new art piece? Writing a poem? Finishing a degree? Taking a new yoga class? You already have so many interesting things to talk about. Apart from having self-respect, confidence, motivation and being competitive; you need to ask yourself for each aspect of your life, "Why am I doing this?" If your goals are contrived to impress a man, or men in general, you may be doing it for the wrong reasons. In the same light, trust your instincts; only you can make decisions about your life and where you are heading. Not anyone else. Experts are taken more seriously than novices.

Article in English: A woman’s body changes a lot during pregnancy, particularly in her abdomen.  As the baby grows, the abdomen needs to expand to accommodate.  This can sometimes be difficult to differentiate from belly fat in the same area, but a pregnancy has some subtle distinguishing characteristics.  Weight gain in the belly area that looks like a well-defined bump, but little to no weight gain in other areas of the body is most likely caused by pregnancy.  If you happen to accidentally bump into her, keep in mind that a pregnant belly is also much firmer than belly fat. Enlarged, growing breasts are a common physical change because breast tissue is very sensitive to hormonal changes.  If you don’t know this person, this might not be helpful since you don’t have a pre-pregnancy breast size to compare her current size to; however, some pregnant women in the later stages of pregnancy have disproportionately large breasts to the rest of their body because they swell with milk production. Swollen ankles are also very common in pregnant women, especially around the fifth month.  This is because the body retains more water and produces more blood and body fluid when a person is pregnant.  She may also be wearing extra comfortable, supportive shoes or flip-flops to help with the pain associated with walking and standing with swollen feet and ankles. As her body begins to change and grow, many pregnant women also begin experiencing changes to their mobility. Keep an eye out for these common signs:  A waddling walk and other changes in gait are common as the growing belly and swelling feet cause the woman’s balance to be thrown off a bit. Many pregnant women tend to hold their belly or keep a hand on their bump as they move around. This is both for balance and because of the bond that is growing between the mother and child. In addition to changes in mobility, many pregnant women also experience shortness of breath in their second and third trimesters.  This is caused by the growing fetus needing more and more oxygen and also by...

Article in English: A wrist fracture can be caused by similar types of accidents and trauma that cause wrist sprains. In general, the larger and stronger bones are, the less likely they are to break in response to trauma — instead, the ligaments will stretch and tear. But when they do, they often create a misaligned or crooked appearance. The eight carpal bones of the wrist are small, so a misaligned or crooked wrist may be difficult (or impossible) to notice, especially with hairline fractures, but more serious breaks are easier to tell.  The most commonly broken long bone within the wrist area is the radius, which is a forearm bone that attaches to the small carpal bones.  The most commonly fractured carpal bone is the scaphoid bone, which is unlikely to cause a noticeable wrist deformity.  When a bone penetrates the skin and becomes visible, this is known as an open or compound fracture. Pain from a wrist fracture also depends upon severity, but it's usually described as very sharp with movement, and deep and achy without movement. The severe pain of wrist fractures tends to increase during gripping or squeezing of the hand, which is not often the case with wrist sprains. Wrist fractures usually cause more symptoms in the hand, such as stiffness, numbness or inability to move the fingers, in comparison to wrist sprains because there is a greater chance of nerve injury/damage with fractures. Furthermore, there can be a grinding or crunching sound when moving a fractured wrist, which doesn't occur with wrist sprains.  Pain from a wrist fracture is often (but not always) preceded by a "cracking" sound or feeling. In contrast, only Grade 3 sprains can produce a sound or similar sensations, and that's sometimes a "popping" sound as the ligament ruptures. As a general guideline, wrist pain from a fracture will get worse at night, whereas pain from a wrist sprain will plateau and not flare-up in the night if the wrist is immobilized. As noted above, a day or two of rest and cold therapy can make a big different in a mild-to-moderate...

Article in English: A written note shows her that you care enough to share your feelings with her. Make sure it is handwritten; don't type and print a note! Here are some starters:  "I've been thinking about you all day..." "I wish I could be there with you, but this note will have to do..." "I can't wait until I see you next..." Place the note where it will have the most impact. Ideally, finding the note should be a surprise. For example, if you know she has to read certain pages of a book for school, place it between those pages. If you are sleeping together, write a note on the bathroom mirror with soap, or place a love note on her nightstand.  Call or text her when she's getting ready to go to sleep. This is known as the "tuck in call," and it is a very powerful way to show her you care.  The tuck in call lets her know that she's on your mind. You will be the last thing she thinks about before falling asleep. It gives her someone to talk with about any of the problems she may have had that day, which will help her sleep better. Chocolates range from the cheap to the quite expensive. You don't have to spend an arm and a leg, but avoid just giving her a bar from the candy aisle. Look for boutique chocolates and remember that a little goes a long way. Imported candies are a fancy way to show that you care about her, and can be exciting to try. They're not terribly expensive either. Bake her some cookies. This shows thoughtfulness as well as adeptness in the kitchen. If she doesn't like sweets, surprise her with her favorite snack. This is one of the most traditional ways to show affection, and is very effective. They are bright and cheery, and the freshness is a vitalizing gift. Flowers can get expensive, however, so save them for truly special occasions.  Most supermarkets have bouquets available for less than $20. If you know your girlfriend's favorite colors or flowers, talk to a florist and have them help you design a bouquet. If you have access to wildflowers, pick and make her one yourself.

Article in English: A yeast infection most commonly occurs as itching, burning and white patches either in the oral or genital area. However, some people have experienced further symptoms, including depression, headaches, fatigue, stomach pain, and indigestion.  Common, recurrent oral or genital yeast infections may be a sign of a more general yeast sensitivity. While the infection can be treated with a prescription, it is worth considering an underlying cause.  Some yeast infections will not respond well to prescriptions and you may find trying a yeast-free diet useful just to regain the a balance that has been thrown off. Since it is not a high-risk endeavor, trying a yeast-free diet is a popular method for people suffering from persistent infections. You should check with your doctor to be diagnosed, as many of the symptoms suggested are general and can be due to multiple causes. Candida yeast overgrowth can often be measured, but even that may not be certain, and diagnosis by symptoms alone is disappointingly speculative.  If it is believed to be a yeast infection, you can get a prescription for antifungal medication (preferably a six week course) which you can take while on this diet as it will help kill the yeast infection. Appropriate antifungals include: Diflucan (Fluconazole), Lamisil (Terbinafine HCL), Nystatin, Sporanox.  Many traditional practitioners are unconvinced  that yeast-free diets are medically useful, so don't be surprised if your GP is not interested in what you choose to eat. Diet changes are difficult to measure (and could depend on individuals) so evidence may be limited for practical reasons, but nonetheless, not much exists. Whether you are imagining this to be simply for the next month and a half, or possibly for the foreseeable future, changing your diet can be a big undertaking if you aren't mentally prepared. Any time an elimination diet is starting, it is important to know all parameters of the diet and to be fully prepared. This is the number one key to success. Try to prepare yourself in...

Article in English: A yeast infection often looks like a rash that has a scaly surface. It will be dark red or pink, with pimple-like bumps spread throughout. Your rash could be small or widespread across a large affected area, so don't dismiss your redness just because it's small.  Sometimes the patches will look circular, but they can also be more formless. Check in warm, moist locations on your body. The center of each patch might become lighter in color or shade than the rest of the patch. A yeast infection on your skin will cause itching and possibly burning, so consider how often you catch yourself scratching the area or adjusting your clothes to help you find relief. If your rash is not itching, then it may not be a yeast infection.  Itching alone does not mean that your rash is a yeast infection. If the infection is on your foot, you may notice that the itching becomes worse after you take off your shoes or socks. The red pustules may resemble small pimples and are most likely to occur around the edge of your red patch. Itching makes the pustules worse, and scratching can cause them to ooze. Yeast infections are more likely to occur on skin that is warm and moist, such as the areas under your arms, around your groin, the folds beneath your buttocks, under your breasts, on your feet, or between fingers and toes. Yeast especially thrives in the folds of skin, such as under breasts or around skin folds.  Warm, moist places are more likely to be effected by a yeast infection. Take a closer look at redness near skin folds. People who are obese, have diabetes, are taking antibiotics, or have a weakened immune system are more likely to get a yeast infection. Yeast infections are also more common if a person has been experiencing poor hygiene or wears tight clothing. Hot, humid weather is also a risk factor for yeast infections, so consider the environment and season.

Article in English: A young puppy (8 weeks) needs to be given the opportunity to go outside every 20 minutes, if you are to increase the chances of her peeing outside rather than inside. Older puppies also need to relieve themselves frequently, as they can't physically hold their bladder for more than an hour or two. To avoid accidents, scoop up your puppy and take her outside once an hour like clockwork. This way your puppy will learn to associate going outside with going to the bathroom.  Once you get to know your puppy, you'll be able to watch for signs she needs to relieve herself. As soon as you see her displaying the signs, take her outside. When you're house training a puppy, it's very important that you be available to meet her needs at all times of the day. If you leave her alone in the apartment all day it might take a very long time for her to understand what she's supposed to do when she needs to go to the bathroom. If you can't be with her all day long, have a friend stay with her. This helps to reinforce a routine and allows you to better predict when she may need to go outside. Depending on your puppy's breed and needs, feed her a few times a day. Take your puppy outside after every meal and after she drinks a lot from her water bowl. Going to the same spot every time will help her remember what she's supposed to do. Living in an apartment building, you might have trouble getting all the way to the closest park. Pick a patch of grass close enough to your apartment entrance that your puppy won't have an accident on the way.  Be sure to follow your city's ordinances regarding disposing of dog waste. Pick up after your puppy using a plastic bag. Dog urine isn't generally good for flowers, so try to find a public spot that isn't being tended by a careful gardener. You might find yourself the subject of a sign warning dog owners to stay away - a common sight near city apartment buildings! Say something like "go potty" or just "potty" when you set her in the designated spot. Use language to strengthen the puppy's...

Article in English: A zafu pillow is a pillow specifically designed for Zen meditation. If you find Zen meditation is helpful for you, you can purchase a zafu pillow online. This can help you easily get into the right position each time you meditate. Beginners sometimes worry they're bad at meditation. You may find it difficult to clear your mind and focus on your breathing. Do not get frustrated and beat yourself up. It's very normal for meditation to be somewhat difficult at first. Cut yourself some slack and keep practicing. Eventually, meditating will become easier.  Keep in mind, even people who meditate regularly never completely clear their minds. It's normal to have to stop and redirect your thinking to your breathing once in awhile. Do not feel like getting distracted means you're meditating incorrectly. More advanced meditators may try to clear their minds completely but Buddha Shakyamuni warned against too obsessed with clearing the mind.. Many Zen masters recognize that the safest way is to substitute all wandering thoughts in mind with one single yet powerful thought - Buddha Amitabha, as highlighted in The Amitabha Sutra (Sukhāvatī-vyūha). Start off with small sessions and build up. After you're comfortable meditating in short spurts, start adding on a few more minutes each week. Eventually, you'll be able to meditate for longer periods. There is no one size fits all rule for meditation. You may find very long meditation sessions, such as 25 minute sessions, help you relax. However, you may also find brief five to 10 minute sessions are sufficient. Experiment with different time frames until you find something you're comfortable with. It can be helpful to meditate with the assistance of an instructor. Check online to see if you can find Zen meditation classes in your area. This can help you improve your meditation technique so Zen meditation is more effective for you. If you can't find a class in your area, look for guided routines online.

Article in English: A “mind palace” or “mind attic” allows you to organize information in a way that makes it more readily accessible and easy to remember. Holmes used this technique, but the concept itself actually dates back much further than that.  Officially, this technique is called the "Method of Loci," with loci referring to the Latin plural form of "location." It dates back to Ancient Greece and Rome. Facts and information are remembered by associating them with a specific physical location. Choose an image that you can visualize clearly and in full detail inside your mind. The place you choose for your mind palace can be somewhere you created or somewhere you once visited.  A larger space is preferable since you can store more information. For instance, if you imagine a literal palace, you can assign a separate room to each discipline or subject area. If you choose a place that exists in the real world, make sure that you know the place well enough to visualize it in great detail. Visualize yourself moving through your mind palace. The route should be the same each time, and you should practice traveling that route often enough for it to become second nature to you.  After you set the route, you need to identify markers along that route. For instance, you might imagine half a dozen chairs or a series of lamps in a long hallway, or you could identify each piece of furniture in a dining room or bedroom. Spend time in each spot along your route and define as many of these markers as possible. Even when you do not have a need for your mind palace, you should take the time to mentally stroll through it. Keep the details and route the exact same each time. You need to make this place seem as real to you as any place that actually exists within the real world. Once you know how to travel through your mind palace, you need to begin filing information along the route you travel. Picture placing the information in a specific location. As before, practice traveling along your route and accessing that information often enough to...

Article in English: ACV has antibacterial properties that are beneficial to dogs' skin, ears, and digestive systems. It also alters dogs' internal pH level. Regularly feeding your dog ACV helps to promote good health, both inside and outside.  Keeping a good pH level is important. Pests like fleas, ticks, bacteria, parasites, ringworm, fungi, staphylococcus, streptococcus, pneumococcus, and mange are less likely to bother dogs with slightly more acidic urine and an acidic skin/fur coat outer layer. Apple cider vinegar can promote these qualities.  Opponents of ACV use argue that there is no proven scientific data that shows that ACV effectively repels fleas. They argue that any benefits derived from bathing in ACV are likely to be a result of regular flea combing and treating the environment, rather than the ACV directly. It can sting when applied to broken skin or sores. Don’t use on broken skin. If you are planning on using ACV to fend off fleas, then be aware that if the fleas have irritated your dog’s skin enough, it will probably burn.  Bladder stones can form after prolonged ACV use. ACV is acidic and raises the level of acid in your dog's urine. Highly acidic urine in dogs leads to oxalate bladder stones. This is because oxalate crystals precipitate out of ACV solution. Potentially, the bladder stone could block the urethra (the tube through which the dog urinates), limiting your dog's ability to urinate. This is an emergency situation, which will require surgery to remedy.  It is certainly NOT advisable to give ACV to any animal with a history of bladder stones of the oxalate variety. In theory, you could monitor the dog's urinary pH using dipsticks. The ideal pH should be around 6.2 - 6.4, so if the dipstick indicates a pH more acidic than this (below 6.2) then it would be best to discontinue using ACV until the pH recovered. There are manufactured forms of apple cider vinegar and organic versions. Choose the latter. The best apple cider vinegar to use is fermented and unfiltered, also referred to as "raw." Raw ACV...

Article in English: ACV is an astringent, meaning it constricts body tissues.  It serves as a great base for mixing kitchen ingredients that can battle the bugs. Add 32oz of apple cider vinegar to 2 Tbsp each of the following herbs sage, rosemary, lavender, thyme and mint.  Shake it each day for two weeks, then strain the herbs and dilute the oil mixture with water.  Use sparingly, this is supposed to be a strong one! If the vinegar base is too dense, or has too strong a smell for you, distilled water works well.  Boil water with 3-4 Tbsps of any of the following dried herbs: peppermint, spearmint, citronella, lemongrass, or catnip.  Use whichever combo you prefer.  Once it's mixed, let it cool down before straining.  Add in a bit of rubbing alcohol and you have a great mix. The spice comes from the turmeric plant, commonly found in curry.  Sometimes it's used in powders, mustards, and butters for its strong flavor and taste.  In lab studies, adding just 5% vanillin to various ingredients, including turmeric, increased ability to repel mosquitoes for up to 8 hours.  Try combining the two ingredients, 95% turmeric and 5% vanillin, to replicate the mixture.  Or experiment with varying combinations until you gain the greatest effectiveness. Turmeric has been used as an insect repellent in Indian families for generations.  Make the repellent by grinding turmeric together with navadhanya grains and water.  Once that paste is combined, add some slaked lime, which is essentially limewater, until the color turns red.  Use pure turmeric sprinkled where you want to deter pests.  The high curcumin content in turmeric hinders the insects' access to oxygen, and the antimicrobial aspects create an unendurable environment for bedbugs.  Mix turmeric powder and neem leaf powder together. Mix with water to form a paste. Smear over uncovered flesh.  The neem leaf has shown the ability to not only repel insects near the tree, but also disrupt insect breeding nearby.  This natural insect repellent combo will keep insects at bay for an hour or more....

Article in English: ADHD children have great difficulty in planning, thinking through procedures, managing time, and other daily life skills. A strongly structured organizational system will be critical to your family's daily life. In other words, creating a routine can prevent the need for discipline in the first place because your child will be less likely to misbehave.  Many of child's actions may be rooted in the characteristic lack of organization that is not fully within the child's control. The family needs to intervene with strong organization and an understanding that the child needs extra help and patience in this area. At the same time, the child should not be held to low expectations, either. This typically includes things such as morning routines, homework time, bedtimes, and things like limits on video games. Be sure expectations are explicit. "Clean your room" is vague, and an ADHD child may be confused where even to begin and how to follow through before losing focus. It may be better to break it up into short, clear tasks: "Pick up toys", "Vacuum rug", "Clean hamster cage", "Put away clothes--in the closet on hangers". Make sure you have a set of clear rules and expectations for your whole family and household.  Children with ADHD are unlikely to pick on the subtle hints. Communicate clearly exactly what you expect and what they need to do each day.  Once you have established the household routine for the work week, for example, put up a schedule in your child's room. You can use a whiteboard and make it fun by using colors, stickers, and other decorative aspects. Explain and point out everything on the schedule so that your child can understand it in different ways. Establish routines for all kinds of daily tasks, including homework, which tends to be a big issue for most kids with ADHD. Make sure your child writes down their homework every day in a planner and that there is a regular time and place for them to do their homework. Make sure to go over their homework before they begin and review it with them...

Article in English: AKA the Inland Taipan, the Fierce Snake has the reputation of being the most deadly snake on the planet. Its venom is more potent than any other species by far, and yet—there's no record of a human fatality caused by the Fierce Snake.  This bad boy can reach a length of over 6 feet (1.8 m), and varies in color from dark brown to a light straw. It's darker in the winter than it is in the summer. It's head can appear almost black.  It lives in the black soil plains where Queensland, South Australia, and the Northern Territory borders meet. Unlike the most venomous snake, the Inland Taipan, the Eastern Brown Snake is responsible for the most snakebite deaths in Australia. Like all snakes, they would much rather slither away than attack, but if they are threatened, or grabbed, or stepped on, all bets are off. .  They can exceed 6 feet (2m) in length, and are very fast—especially on hot days. They're slender, with a variable color ranging from tan to gray or dark brown. Their belly is lighter, and has darker orange spots. They inhabit  eastern Australia, from the desert to the coast, and prefer open grasslands, pastures, and woodland. Needless to say, if you're bitten by one of these snakes, get help immediately!

Article in English: AMD symptoms usually develop gradually and without any eye pain, so they may difficult to detect. The hallmark symptom of AMD is a progressively developing blurred area near the very center of your vision, either in one eye or both. With time, the blurry central area can grow larger or you may develop dark spots that completely block out any images. On the other hand, peripheral vision is not affected by AMD.  Objects in your central vision may not appear to be as bright as they used to be — colors can get dull. AMD affects only the central part of your vision because that's where the macula is located. The macula is in the center of the retina and needed for sharp vision of objects that are straight ahead. Another common symptom of AMD is strange visual distortions — objects may appear distorted in shape, or straight lines may look wavy, crooked or bent. When these symptoms develop, people may think they're hallucinating. Although other eye diseases cause blurriness, only macular disease (including AMD, cystoid macular edema, diabetic macular edema, and others) creates these types of visual distortions.  Visual distortions associated with advanced stages of AMD make it difficult to drive, read and recognize faces. AMD often affects both eyes at the same time, but if only one is affected, it's difficult to notice visual changes because your good eye compensates for the affected eye. Another common symptom of progressive AMD is an increased difficulty adapting to low-light situations, such as dimly lit rooms, offices or restaurants. You might also feel the need for brighter light when reading books or doing work close to your face. If you find yourself or your partner turning on lights much more frequently than before, then it could be a sign of AMD.  Correlated to seeing things more dimly is perceiving a decreased intensity or brightness of colors. The world tends to take on a darker and drabber look with AMD. AMD doesn't affect peripheral (side) vision, so it doesn't cause complete blindness — although...

This is normally due to a problem arising in your seminal vesicles which produce the sperms and hormonal imbalances.  Varicocele or an enlarged testicular vein leads to abnormal sperm development and results in 40% of infertility cases. Abnormal ejaculations such as retrograde ejaculation or ejaculation into the bladder and premature ejaculation due to physical or hormonal causes also lead to male infertility. Erectile dysfunction is also known as impotence. This issue affects almost 20 million American males. It can be a result of psychological factors or inherent medical disorders. Almost 90% of erectile dysfunctions are due to medical causes.  Performance anxiety, guilt, and stress are the common psychological causes of erectile dysfunction. Type-2 DM, hypertension, hormonal imbalances, heart diseases, and pelvic surgery or trauma may also result in erectile dysfunction and subsequent infertility issues. Various underlying medical conditions affect your androgen or male hormone levels. They could also affect your sperm count and increase your chances of infertility. These conditions include: Anemia, type-2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, pituitary disorders, hyperprolactinemia, hypothyroidism, testicular torsion, hydrocele, and obesity Various infections such as tuberculosis, mumps, brucellosis, influenza can affect your infertility. STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis lead to low sperm count and sperm motility. Some STDs also lead to blocking of the epididymis which transports the sperms to the seminal fluid, leading to infertility. There are quite a few lifestyle choices and habits that can result in a decreased sperm count. These include:  Unhealthy eating habits, like eating a diet that is lacking in zinc, vitamin C and iron could affect your sperm count. Wearing tight underwear can lower your...

Article in English: About 15-18 days into the pregnancy, a queen's nipples will “pink up,” or become red and enlarged.  Her breasts may enlarge, and she may express a milky fluid. Enlarged nipples are also signs of being in heat, so bear in mind that growing nipples are not exclusively indicative of pregnancy. From the side, pregnant cats frequently look somewhat swaybacked, with a slightly round and bulging abdomen.  Many female cats assume this burro shape later in pregnancy. If your cat is merely overweight, she’ll be heavier all over, including her neck and legs, and not just in her abdomen. A few days before she’ll give birth, your cat will begin showing nesting behaviors as she prepares for the arrival of her litter.  Your cat may go to a quiet place like a closet and start arranging blankets, towels, or other fabric to create a place to give birth to her kittens. If you notice nesting behavior and you hadn’t previously realized your cat was pregnant, take your cat to the vet as soon as possible for a prenatal checkup.

Article in English: About 20 minutes before you plan to put them in the oven, take the sausages out of the fridge and set them on the counter. This will take the chill off of them so that they cook more evenly. If your oven takes a long time to heat up, you may want to turn it on before pulling the sausages out of the fridge. If the sausages are still linked together, they won't be spaced apart properly and won't cook as evenly as they should. Use scissors to cut them all apart at the links. Cut a piece of aluminum foil that’s a little longer than the baking pan you want to use. Wrap the ends of the foil over the edges of the pan so that it’s loosely gripping the pan. Adding foil will make for easier cleanup and will ensure the sausages don't stick to the pan. If you want your sausages to be less greasy, put a wire rack on top of the pan. It should be a rack that fits securely inside the pan and won’t slide around when you’re handling the pan. Using a rack will allow the excess grease to drip away from the sausages rather than let the meat cook in the grease. Place the sausages on the pan, spacing them evenly apart. Try to allow about 2 inches (5.1 cm) between them in case one rolls while it’s baking.

Article in English: About 20% of a quail's diet will consist of vegetables, fruits, leaves and other roughage compose. Don't be afraid to offer some other type of food. Try to consider the quail's natural, habitat, however. For example, if you have quail that are naturally found in the desert, offer some cactus fruit.  Consider planting some berry shrubs, such as: blackberry, currant, huckleberry, manzanita, Oregon grapes, salad, serviceberry, and snowberry.  Offer vegetables, such as: broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cucumber, peas, lettuce, and turnip greens. Be careful with tomatoes. Quail can eat ripe tomatoes, but they cannot eat any other part of the plant, including the leaves and the stems. The main part of a quail's diet should be specialized quail feed. However, it you can include other types of food as a treat, such as: cake, pasta, rice, and sweet corn.  Quail love nuts and seeds. Consider having some nut or seed bearing trees around, such as: ash, cascara, hazelnut, and oak. The quail will eat the nuts and seeds that the trees drop. Quail also love insects, especially chicks. Insects are full of protein, which chicks and egg-laying hens need. This includes avocado, caffeine, chocolate, grape seeds, meat, parsley, rhubarb, the stems and leaves of tomato plants, salty foods and treats, uncooked potatoes, and most citrus fruits.  Quail will avoid anything toxic to them unless they are starving. This indicates that you should feed your quail more. There are many plants that are poisonous to quail, but you most likely will not come across them anyway. It is still important to be aware of this, though. Avoid giving quail anything from your garden. The quail will figure out quickly where their food comes from, and may try to feed themselves. This may not be good for your garden. This helps your quail digest their food down; however, if they wander about on the grass often, this is not a big worry for them as they will find some goodies in the ground to digest their food with.

Article in English: About 3 pounds (1.4 kg) will be enough to fill most chimneys, and for most grills. Your chimney may also have a fill line. If so, use that as a guide.  A charcoal chimney is basically a metal cylinder with a grate at the bottom, holes in the side, and a handle on the side. You place the charcoal inside, light it efficiently and safely, then pour the briquettes in your grill when they're ready. Lighter fluid can be dangerous and is not necessary if you use a charcoal chimney.

Article in English: About 30 percent of unwanted heat comes from windows. Close your window coverings to prevent direct sunlight from heating up the room. If you don’t already have blinds or curtains in the room, invest in some, especially if you have any south or west-facing windows. By using window coverings, you can reduce indoor temperatures by up to 20 degrees.  Try to keep the window coverings closed from morning until late afternoon when the sun is at its peak. If heat is a persistent problem in the room, consider purchasing thermal insulated blackout curtains. Any device that is powered on is currently contributing to the heat in the room. Unplug or turn off everything you’re not using. Computers and televisions, in particular, generate a lot of heat. Incandescent lightbulbs are big heat-generators, too. If possible, turn the lights off in the room.  It's not always feasible to turn out all the lights. At the very least, dim them as much as you can.  Consider replacing your incandescent lights with compact fluorescent lamps, or better yet, light-emitting diodes which generate far less heat. CFLs and LEDs are more environmentally-friendly, as well. Piles of clothing and other kinds of clutter absorb heat and keep it trapped in the room. The less clutter you have in the room, the more available space there is for the heat to disperse and the faster it will cool down. A lot of clutter can also restrict airflow, making it feel even hotter in the room. Toss any piles of clothing you have on the floor into your closet and shut the door behind them. Do a quick survey of the remaining clutter and quickly eliminate what you can. If it’s hotter inside the room than it is outside, the walls have probably absorbed a lot of heat from sunlight throughout the day. Remove this trapped heat and push it outdoors by opening the windows in the room. Close off any spaces in the house that you currently aren’t using, too. This will help to cool down the room you’re in more quickly. Once it cools off a bit, be sure to close the windows.

Article in English: About an hour before you plan on serving or eating the cheese, take it out of the fridge, but keep it in its wrapper so that it doesn't dry out. Keep in mind that in warmer climates, the cheese will reach room temperature sooner. You don't want the cheese to become so warm that it starts to melt and "sweat."  Take hard cheeses, such as Cheddar, out of the fridge an hour to an hour and a half before serving/eating. Take soft, creamy cheeses, such as Brie, out of the fridge two to three hours before serving/eating. Take fresh cheeses, such as cottage cheese, out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving/eating.

Article in English: About half the caffeine you consume at 7 pm is still in your body at 11 pm. Caffeine is a stimulant and can be found in coffee, chocolate, soft drinks, non-herbal teas, diet drugs, and some pain relievers. Limit how many cups of coffee you have several hours before bed, or try to eliminate caffeine in your diet all together. Alcohol also prevents deep sleep and REM sleep. It will keep you in the lighter stages of sleep, causing you to possibly wake up easily and have a harder time falling back asleep. Avoid consuming alcohol one to two hours before bed to ensure you get a good night’s sleep and don’t oversleep in the morning. The best time for a nap is usually mid afternoon, before 3 pm. This is the time of day you will likely experience afternoon sleepiness or a lower level of alertness. Naps taken before 3 pm should not interfere with your nighttime sleep. Keep your naps short, between 10 to 30 minutes. This will prevent sleep inertia, which is when you feel groggy and disoriented after a nap that goes on for longer than 30 minutes. This will also prevent you from oversleeping the following morning, as naps under 30 minutes should not interfere with your sleep schedule. A sleep journal or diary can be a useful tool to help you identify any habits that may be keeping you awake at night and causing you to oversleep in the morning. You may be able to also pinpoint if you are displaying symptoms of a sleep disorder. Update your sleep journal with notes on:  What time you went to bed and woke up. The total sleep hours and quality of your sleep. The amount of time you spent awake and what you did. For example: “stayed in bed with eyes closed” “counted sheep” “read a book”. The types of food and liquids you consumed before bed and the amount of food and liquids you consumed. Your feelings and moods before bed, such as “happy” “stressed” “anxious”. How long it took you to get up the morning, and how often you hit the “snooze” button on your alarm. Any drugs or medication you took, such as sleeping pills, including...

Article in English: About two inches should be good. When the barrel fills up, you need an overflow valve to let water run out in a controlled way instead of bubbling out the top. As with the spigot, use tape and washers to lock and seal it in place. Attach a hose to the valve and direct the hose to run into a ditch or other proper drainage near your house. This will keep your yard from flooding when water starts spewing out of your barrel. You can also run the hose into a second rain barrel. This way when the first fills up, the water just flows into the next one. But eventually you will need to have a barrel that drains properly. A downspout diverter attaches to the downspout and the rain barrel. Once the rain barrel is full, water continues down the downspout, eliminating any chance of overflow.

Article in English: Above a latitude of 50° north, it will be difficult to see the Milky Way. This latitude includes anything north of Normandy, France; Vancouver, Canada; and Inner Mongolia, China. Travel south for the best view. Use a compass or an app on your phone to point you to the south. If you are viewing the Milky Way in summer, you should see the first bands rising from the south. It will look like a white cloud of stars or a dense, misty cluster across the sky.  If you’re viewing the Milky Way in spring, turn slightly to the west. If it’s autumn, look slightly to the east.  Keep in mind that the Milky Way will not look like any pictures you may have seen of it. Cameras are able to pick up more light and colors than a human eye. Look for the densest cluster of stars; this will be the core. If you are very far north, the core may be partially covered by the horizon. If you are closer to the equator, it may be up above the horizon. In the core of the Milky Way, you may see some dark patches. These may only be visible in the darkest skies. This is called the Great Rift. It is a series of thick clouds covering part of the Milky Way.

Article in English: Above all else, you must establish and follow a strict sleeping schedule. This will help you ensure that both your body and mind are prepared to sleep each night. This means that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every single day (even weekends). In the event that it is not possible to get to bed at your usual time, it is important to still get up at the normal time. You may feel a bit more tired, but you will mess up your routine even more if you sleep in. If you are very tired, you can take a power nap during the day. Don't nap for more than 20-30 minutes, though. Getting the right amount of physical activity during the day helps prepare your body for sleep each night. Doing light workouts should help you fall asleep faster and sleep longer. You can try activities such as jogging, swimming, or walking. Do not work out right before bed. Getting your adrenaline flowing before bedtime will negatively impact your sleep schedule. Make sure there is at least a two hour gap between the time you exercise and the time you want to go to sleep. After a busy day, it is reasonable to expect that your mind will be trying to process a lot of information. To give your brain some wind-down time, listen to soothing music or read a book for about 10 minutes before going to bed. Try to keep this wind-down period to about 10 minutes, as any longer may risk further sensory stimulation and cut into your sleeping time.  Avoid reading on back-lit screens, though, as these tend to disrupt your sleep patterns.  Don't try to have deep conversations right before bed, either. If you have a problem with your spouse, for example, don't wait until just before bedtime to bring it up. Resolve your concerns earlier in the day so they don't plague you at night. Finish having your dinner at least 2 hours before going to bed and don’t eat again after dinner. Your body will have an easier time adjusting to sleep if it is not in the process of digestion. That being said, if you feel very hungry before bed, try having a cup of herbal...

Article in English: Above being “right,” it’s important to be respectful. If “winning” is your priority, think about how this is hurting the relationship, and if you want to continue prioritizing this mindset. Chances are, your partner may pick up on this and not appreciate playing second to your need to be right. When you’re angry, it may feel good to bring up the past to make a point. This a great way to throw blame in the mix. If you’d rather avoid blaming your partner, keep to the present and don’t get derailed onto other problems in the relationship. Focus on solving the current problem. If the discussion does derail, gently bring it back to what’s at hand. Say, “Let’s stick to discussing what’s in front of us.” Avoid cutting off your partner while he or she is speaking. Allow your partner to finish speaking, then reflect back what you’ve heard. That way, you can reflect your understanding while affirming your partner. Say, “I hear you saying that you want me to consider your feelings more and not assume you want something. Is that right?” Be willing to admit that you make mistakes. Recognize any assumptions or misunderstandings you’ve engaged, and take responsibility for your words and actions. You don’t have to take on the blame for everything, but do own your part. Say sorry with a sincere apology to your partner. Don’t hold onto resentments toward your partner. Be forgiving and don’t withhold forgiveness as a way to punish your partner. Instead, see forgiveness as a road to freedom and a way to let go of any negative feelings toward your partner. Whether you choose to say “I forgive you” to your partner or not, forgiveness is often more about personal freedom and freeing the other person from blame. It doesn’t mean you take full responsibility or even that you accept what happened as okay. It just means you’re willing to let it go. Keep yourself accountable for the changes you want to make. Take your accountability inward and ask yourself why you want to change your anger patterns and how you’re doing each week in...

Article in English: Above, we dealt with work problems in which the object is moving in the same direction as the force being applied to it. In reality, this isn't always the case. In cases where the force and the object's motion are in two different directions, the difference between these two directions must also be factored into the equation for an accurate result. To begin, find the magnitude of the force and the object's displacement as you normally would. Let's look at another example problem. In this case, let's say that we're pulling a toy train forward as in the example problem above, but that this time we're actually pulling upward at a diagonal angle. In the next step, we'll take this into account, but for now, we'll stick to the basics: the train's displacement and the magnitude of the force acting on it. For our purposes, let's say that the force has a magnitude of 10 newtons and that it's moved the same 2 meters (6.6 ft) forward as before. Unlike in the examples above, with a force that's in a different direction than the object's motion, it's necessary to find the difference between these two directions in the form of the angle between them. If this information isn't provided to you, you may need to measure it yourself or deduce it from other information in the problem. In our example problem, let's say that the force is being applied about 60o above the horizontal. If the train is still moving directly forward (that is, horizontally), the angle between the force vector and the train's motion is 60o. Once you know the object's displacement, the magnitude of the force acting on it, and the angle between the force vector and its motion, solving is almost as easy as it is without having to take the angle into account. Simply take the cosine of the angle (this may require a scientific calculator) and multiply it by force and displacement to find your answer in joules. Let's solve our example problem. Using a calculator, we find that the cosine of 60o is 1/2. Plugging this into the formula, we can solve as follows: 10...

Article in English: Above, we've explained how to use a spoon to eat pasta. Though there's nothing "wrong" with doing this, it's not something Italians usually do. This can be considered a little "clumsy" or "childish," like using chopsticks to spear food and put it into your mouth. However, it is common to use a fork with a spoon to serve pasta and toss it with sauce. To Italians, pasta isn't something you shovel into your mouth to satisfy your hunger. It's a dignified dish meant to be cooked properly, cherished, and savored. Use the following tips to eat your spaghetti respectfully:  Don't slurp strands of spaghetti into your mouth "Lady and the Tramp"-style. Instead, put small, tiny bundles in your mouth. Don't pile food onto your plate next to your pasta. Pasta is best enjoyed by itself as a primo piatto (first course). Eat slowly to avoid spills and drips, but don't lose your head if you make a mistake. It happens to everyone.

Article in English: Above, we've used straight eighth notes for each of the "Hap - py"s in the song — that is, eighth notes where each note is played for the same amount of time. However, if you pay attention while you sing the song, you'll probably notice that the eighth notes aren't actually played straight. Rather, they're swung, which means that the first eighth note is a little longer than the second. To play the song more accurately, the "hap" syllable should be played for a little more time and the "py" syllable should be played for a little less time than if you were using straight eighths. In musical terms, we'd say that the first eighth note in each "Hap - py" is a dotted eighth note and the second is a sixteenth note. Try singing the song aloud to yourself again. Odds are, you'll naturally stretch out each "you" and the last syllable of the birthday boy/girl's name. This is a good thing, as it lends the song a little more of an emotional, dramatic quality. If you're not already doing this when you play the song on guitar, try adding it to your playing and it should come easily. In musical terminology, holding a note at the end of a piece or phrase in this way is called a fermata. The notes and chords above don't make up the only way to play "Happy Birthday". In fact, there are several different sets of chords and notes (called "keys") that you can use to play this song. Though a discussion of what exactly a key is is beyond the scope of this article, it's easy to find music for "Happy Birthday" in different keys by using a search engine query like "Happy Birthday guitar keys." For example, here's another way to play "Happy Birthday:" Happy BirthdayHap-py |(G) birth - day to |(D) you. Hap-py | birth - day to |(G) you. Hap-py | birth-day dear |(C) (na-ame). Hap-py |(G) birth - day (D) to |(G) you. In the examples above, we've only used major (happy-sounding) chords. In reality, you can also add chords called 7 chords to this song to give it a slightly more complex, almost bluesy feel. If you want to do this, simply...

Article in English: Abrasives can scratch your sink's finish, so use them only for an occasional restoration project, or to remove stubborn stains. Try stainless steel polish, whiting, talc, or baking soda. Apply one of these to a slightly damp cloth. Most stainless steel sinks have a brushed finish. Wipe parallel to the brush lines to reduce the chance of a visible scratch. Use a toothbrush with a bit of the cleanser to clean the tight areas around the faucet, and the area around the drain. Wash the cleanser off of everywhere you used it. If your sink's shine is restored, dry the sink completely with a clean towel, dabbing instead of rubbing to avoid streak marks. If your sink still looks dull, browse through the steps below for additional solutions to specific problems. If your sink is clean but covered in dull white spots, dip a soft cloth in white vinegar and wipe them away. This also works on rust spots. Flour is a cheap, very mild abrasive, which makes it a good choice for cleaning a large area. If your sink still looks dirty and you have some spare time, follow these steps:  Dry the sink thoroughly. Any water left on the surface will turn the flour into glue. Sprinkle a light dusting of flour over the sink. Use about ¼ cup (60mL) flour for an average kitchen sink.  Buff the sink in a circular motion with a soft cloth, focusing on the rim and drain where food might get stuck. Once grime is removed, brush the flour into a container and throw it in the kitchen trash. Too much flour can block the drain. Olive oil can boost the shine and remove streaks from your sink, but overdoing it can leave the stainless steel sticky or eventually  make the appearance duller than before. If you try it, put just two or three drops of olive oil onto a soft cloth. Wipe the dry sink evenly until the entire surface is coated very lightly. Buff in small circles with the same oiled cloth for a couple minutes until you've achieved an even shine. A major clean can leave the surface of your sink temporarily damaged, especially if there was rust on...
