Article in English: If you notice a person starting to faint, try to catch them and slowly lower the person to the ground. When people faint, they are unable to protect themselves with their hands when they fall. Although typically a person who faints does not incur serious injuries, preventing hitting the ground will protect them. Of course, do this only if it is safe for you--if the person who is fainting is much larger than you, for example, this may put you into a hazardous situation. Tap or shake the person, to see if they have regained consciousness. In most cases, people who have fainted regain consciousness quickly (usually between 2 minutes and 20 seconds).  When people faint, they fall, which brings the head to the same level of the heart. In this position, it is easier for the heart to pump blood to the brain. Therefore, recovery can be just as sudden as fainting is.  If the person regains consciousness, inquire about any pre-existing symptoms or conditions that may have caused the fainting. Symptoms such as headache, seizure, numbness or tingling, chest pain or trouble breathing are all worrisome. In such cases, emergency services (EMS) should be called. Loosen any constrictive clothing (like a tie or collar) on the person to make them comfortable.  Let the person lay on the ground and rest for at least 15-20 minutes. This provides enough time for blood to return to the brain.  Give the person room to breathe and fan the victim with fresh air. If fainting happens in a public place, crowds typically gather in order to see what happened. Ask people to back up unless they are actually helping the situation. Give the person water and/or food once they are conscious and stable; food and water will help revive them. Dehydration and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) are common causes of fainting. Do not let the person get up too quickly. Encourage them to stay lying down for a few minutes. This will allow blood flow to the brain to fully regain. Additionally, abrupt rise may precipitate another fainting episode. Once people...

Article in English: If you notice a rash on your breasts, try a cold compress. This can help reduce inflammation and lead to an improvement in symptoms.  You can simply wrap ice in a cotton towel or plastic bag. You can also purchase ice packs from a local supermarket. Keep in mind store bought ice packs should not be applied directly to the skin — wrap them in a towel before applying.  Apply the ice pack for 10 minutes at a time. Then, take a break and repeat as symptoms persist.  You can also use a bag of frozen corn or peas as an ice pack. A warm bath or shower can help with any skin rash, including one under the breasts. You can also run a washcloth under warm water and place it under your breast for a few minutes. For some, tea tree oil can soothe skin rashes. Tea tree oil has excellent antimicrobial properties. Keep in mind tea tree oil should never be applied directly to the skin as this can make problems worse. Always dilute tea tree oil in olive oil before use.  Mix four tablespoons of olive oil with six drops of tea tree oil. Dip a cotton ball in the mixture and dab it gently on the affected area.  Massage the affected area lightly for a few minutes to work the oil into your skin. For best results, do this after taking a bath or shower and again before going to bed.  As with all home remedies, this will not work for everyone. Some people may have sensitivities to tea tree oil. If you notice symptoms get worse in response to tea tree oil, cease use immediately. Basil is an herb that may help soothe skin for some. Crush fresh basil until they form a paste-like substance. Then spread the paste gently onto your rash and let sit until dry. Rinse the paste off with warm water and pat the area dry. Use this method once a day and see if you notice an effect. Once again, home remedies do not work for everyone. If you notice this worsens your rash, do not repeat this method. You should not use basil leaves if you know you have an existing allergy to basil. Certain lotions and moisturizers might help alleviate a rash. Try using a...

Article in English: If you notice any bumps on the object that aren't supposed to be there, you may sand them off using 100 grit sandpaper until you create a smooth surface. Be sure to wipe the object afterward with a damp sponge to remove dust created during sanding. If you purchased an object intended for glazing, most if not all imperfections should be removed. When sanding a piece of bisqueware you will create dust which requires the use of a NIOSH approved particulate respirator.  Use a wet sanding block or wet/dry sandpaper to avoid creating dust. Let it dry.  Before you begin, and whenever the ceramic becomes dirty or you apply too much glaze, wipe with a damp sponge and let it dry before attempting to apply any glaze. Avoid rinsing or dripping excess water onto the ceramic. Use each side of the sponge sparingly to keep it as clean as possible; you may want to have several on hand. Remember, you should reduce the amount of dirt or oil on the ceramic by wearing disposable gloves whenever you handle it. A coating of wax prevents glaze from sticking to the base of the ceramic, where it would "glue" your object to the base of the kiln. For the same reason, apply the wax to the rim where a lid touches, or anywhere else two distinct pieces will touch during firing.   While some potters use slightly heated paraffin wax for this purpose, a safer and less smelly option is "wax resist" designed for this purpose at ceramic shops or some art supply stores. You may apply wax resist and apply it with a paint brush. Keep this brush separate from your glazes.  Crayons may be rubbed on the object to create a wax coating, but there is a possibility that the colors in the crayon wax end up on your pottery. If you are glazing pottery with children, you may find it easier to skip this step and hot glue the children's glazed objects to a clay disc immediately before firing, in order to catch dripping glaze. You may also simply sponge off any excess glaze from your piece or mask areas with tape or contact paper. A pre-mixed glaze is recommended...

Article in English: If you notice any kind of vision problems, have your eyes routinely checked. At the exam, you can discuss how to prevent macular degeneration by reducing or eliminating controllable risk factors. This can help detect and delay any vision loss you might have. 11% of people between the ages of 65 and 74 have macular degeneration, while 27.9% of those over 75 have the condition. The following factors can increase your risk for macular degeneration:  Obesity Non-Hispanic white ethnicity Cigarette smoking  Chlamydia pneumoniae infections Family history of macular degeneration Light iris colors in the eye (i.e. blue or light green) Cardiovascular disease When you smoke a cigarette, you are exposing your retinas to the toxins found in tobacco. Smoking cigarettes increases your risk of macular degeneration by two to five times. The blood vessels in your eyes are among the smallest and finest in your body.  As a result, the toxins from cigarettes can deposit on and damage these vessels more easily. Smoking can also destroy lutein which is important for the health and protection of your retinas. Overexposure to UV rays are thought to be a factor contributing to macular degeneration. UV rays emit high amounts of radiation on cloudy and sunny days. It's important to always protect your eyes when you're outside. Wear sunglasses that protect against UVA and UVB rays. You can also wear a hat to shade your eyes, for extra protection. Choosing polarized glasses can help filter out even more harmful rays. You can also find sunglasses that have side panels and a top panel to block out even more rays. Being obese is a top risk factor for developing macular degeneration. While the exact link isn't understood, it is recommended that you maintain a healthy weight by watching your blood pressure and cholesterol. Eat small portions at your meals and try to eat lean foods and proteins like fruits, vegetables, turkey, and whole wheat products. You should also limit foods that are high in calories and saturated fats. Limit or avoid: ...

Article in English: If you notice any of the above eye symptoms and they don't go away after a week or so, then make an appointment with your family doctor or eye specialist, such as an optometrist or ophthalmologist. After an eye exam and various tests, they can rule out other common eye diseases, such as retinopathy or cataracts, and give you an idea of what stage the AMD is in.  The early stage of AMD doesn't typically cause any vision loss or eye symptoms, which is why regular eye exams are important — especially if you have risk factors for it. Early-stage AMD is diagnosed by the presence of yellow deposits (called drusen) underneath the retina. The intermediate stages of AMD usually cause some vision loss, but not many other symptoms. This stage is diagnosed by the presence of larger drusen and pigment changes in the retina.  For late stage AMD, vision loss is substantial, other eye symptoms are obvious and changes in the macula/retina are significant. In addition to getting a visual acuity test with an eye chart and a dilated eye exam (done with eye drops), your eye doctor may also use an Amsler grid to test for AMD. The Amsler grid is essentially a piece of graph paper with dark lines on it forming a square grid and a dot in the middle — although some versions have white lines drawn on a darker background. The Amsler grid can help spot the distorted lines and/or blurry vision that are common with AMD.  Looking at an Amsler grid helps with early detection, which is important because treatment for wet AMD is more successful when done before damage occurs. You can download a free Amsler grid from online or pick one up from your ophthalmologist's office to test your vision at home. If on your computer, sit about 14 inches away from the screen. Cover each eye and look at the dot in the middle. The surrounding lines should not look blurry or distorted. Other diagnostic test used to help diagnose AMD include fluorescein angiograms (done with a fluorescent dye injected into the arm that then passes to the blood vessels in your...

Article in English: If you notice any of the above-mentioned symptoms in your child or yourself, make an appointment with your family physician or pediatrician for consultation and an examination. Measles in American children has been rare for well over a decade, so doctors who are recently graduated may not have much experience with the distinctive rash. However, all experienced doctors will immediately recognize the characteristic splotchy skin rash, and especially Koplik's spots on the inner lining of the cheek (if applicable).  If in doubt, a blood test can confirm whether the rash is actually measles. The medical lab will look for the presence of IgM antibodies in your blood, which are produced by your body to fight against the measles virus. In addition, a viral culture can be grown and examined from secretions swabbed from your nasal passages, throat and/or inner cheeks — if you have Koplik's spots. There's no specific treatment that can get rid of an established case of measles, but some measures can be taken to reduce the severity of symptoms. Non-immunized people (including children) can be given the MMR vaccine within 72 hours of exposure to the paramyxovirus and it may prevent symptoms from developing. However, as noted above, it often takes 10 days of an incubation period before the mild symptoms of measles begin, so catching it within 72 hours is unlikely unless you're traveling to an area where many people obviously have the disease.  Immune boosting is available for pregnant women, young children and people with weakened immunity who are exposed to the measles (and other viruses). Treatment involves an injection of antibodies called immune serum globulin, which ideally should be given within 6 days of exposure in order to prevent the symptoms from becoming severe. Immune serum globulin and the MMR vaccine should not be taken at the same time. Medications for reducing aches and pains, and the moderate-to-severe fever that accompanies the rash of measles include: acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)...

Article in English: If you notice any of the above-mentioned symptoms, then get your cat checked out by a veterinarian. As part of the examination, the vet will listen to the cat's heart with a stethoscope. Based on what they find, the vet will suggest the most appropriate tests. To get an overview of how sick the cat is, the veterinarian may ask to watch the cat as it rests in a basket or box before the exam, which allows the vet to observe the cat's breathing before the stress of an exam. The vet will count the respiratory rate and assess how the cat is breathing. With a healthy cat, it is sometimes difficult to see the chest moving in and out. If the cat is having difficulty breathing, either because of heart or lung issues, the chest moves in an exaggerated in-out movement which is clear to see.  Another hint that points toward abnormal breathing is if the cat's tummy is going in and out with each breath. This is known as "abdominal breathing" and is a sign that the cat is struggling to draw air into the lungs. It's important to note that cats rarely cough as a result of heart disease, unlike dogs. Your vet will want to know if the cat has previously been diagnosed with a heart murmur. If your cat had a heart murmur, it is considered a pre-exisiting condition that could cause heart disease. Your cat may have developed a heart murmur later in life, so a clean medical history does not mean that your cat can't have an issue now. The veterinarian will listen to the cat's heart in order to assess whether a murmur is present or not and how loud the murmur is. The vet will also check the heart rhythm and rate. Heart murmurs are common in cats with heart disease. However, a heart murmur does not mean that your cat definitely has heart disease. The heart rate is an important guide as to whether the heart is struggling or not. A cat's normal heart rate is approximately 120-140 beats per minute.  A stressed cat will have a faster heart rate, meaning that the vet's measurement could be high. While a cat is at the vet, most vets consider...

Article in English: If you notice any of the following, emergency medical treatment is required. If you cannot call yourself, then send another person to call 911.  The suspected broken bone is part of another major trauma or injury. The person is unresponsive. In other words, if the person is not moving or talking. If the person is not breathing, you should administer CPR. The person is breathing heavily. The limb or the joint appears to be deformed or bent at an odd angle. The area where the bone is broken is numb or bluish at the tip. The suspected broken bone is located in the pelvis, hip, neck, head or back. There is heavy bleeding. Broken bones experienced during a significant accident can trigger shock. Until emergency personnel arrive or until you make it to a medical center, lay the person down flat, feet elevated above the level of his heart and his head lower than his chest if possible. If a break is suspected in a leg, do not elevate that leg. Cover the person with a coat or blanket.  Remember, do not move anyone at all if you suspect that the person's head, back or neck is broken. Make the person comfortable and keep him warm. Pad the affected area with blankets, pillows or clothing to pad the area. Talk to the person to help distract from the pain. Open the clothing around a potential broken bone and apply ice to help control the swelling. This will assist the doctor in setting the bone and help to control pain. Do not apply directly to the skin but wrap the ice pack or bag of ice in a towel or other material. You could also use something from your freeze that you have on hand, such as a bag of frozen vegetables or fruit. You should make an appointment with your doctor or visit a medical clinic to get an X-ray if you notice symptoms later on that did not appear at the time of injury. Do this if you or the affected person experience pain in the injured area without noticeable improvement over several days or if you or the affected individual did not initially experience point tenderness over the injured area in the...

Article in English: If you notice any symptoms of ear infection in an infant, take him or her to the doctor immediately. Infants at this age have not fully developed their immune systems. They are at a much higher risk for serious infections and will likely need immediate antibiotics.  Do not try home remedies on infants and very young children. Always consult your pediatrician for the most appropriate route of care. If you suspect that you or your child have a serious ear infection, prepare for tests such as:  A visual examination of the eardrum using an otoscope. It may be difficult to get your child to sit still for this exam, but it’s an important test to determine if the child has an ear infection. An examination of any blockage or filling of the middle ear using a pneumatic otoscope, which will blow a little air at the eardrum. The air will cause the eardrum to move back and forth. If fluid is present, the eardrum will not move as easily or readily, which indicates a likely ear infection.  An examination with a tympanometer, which uses sound and air pressure to check for any fluid in the middle ear. If the infection is chronic or a severe case, an audiologist may perform a hearing test to determine if there is any hearing loss. If you or your child becomes quite ill as a result of ear issues, your doctor may make an opening in the eardrum and draw out a sample of fluid from the middle ear. S/he will then send these samples to a lab to have them tested. Many ear infections go away on their own without treatment. Some ear infections may disappear within a few days, and most ear infections will disappear on their own within 1-2 weeks, even if you don’t treat them. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians suggest a “wait-and-see approach” with the following guidelines:  Children 6 to 23 months old: Wait and see if the child has mild inner ear pain in one ear for less than 48 hours and a temperature less than 102.2 F (39 C). Children 24 months and older: Wait and see if the child has mild...

Article in English: If you notice any unhealthy leaves, you can simply remove them with your fingers. Rip the leaves where the discoloration starts so only the green areas remain. Look around the entirety of your plants and remove any discolored areas.  Use gardening scissors instead of your fingers if it is easier for you. This keeps your plants looking great and reduces the risk of disease. If you want your leaves to look polished and symmetrical, cut your leaves at an angle. Follow the shape of the other uncut leaves to make your leaves look realistic. This way, you can't even notice the leaves were trimmed! The cane refers to the stem of the plant. Use your fingers to separate the leaf from the cane, and use a pair of gardening scissors to cut off the leaf. Do this for any brown or wilted leaves you find. Make your cuts as close to the cane as you can.

Article in English: If you notice behavioral changes in your cat, make an appointment with your veterinarian. You want to make sure there isn't an underlying medical issue causing your cat's depression that might require specific treatment.  Tell your vet about any changes you've noticed in your cat, such as changes in appetite, sleeping habits, and personality. Your veterinarian will perform a routine physical exam, listening to your cat's heart beat, examining her eyes and ears, and taking her temperature. If your vet feels it is necessary based on the behavioral changes you've outlined, she might call for blood work, x-rays, or other additional testing. Some test results will be ready within the appointment period while others may take a few days to come back. If there is no medical issue, your cat may be suffering from feline depression. Feline depression is linked to a variety of causal factors. Consider your current situation and try to figure out if there have been any big changes recently that might have triggered a depressive episode.  Have you moved recently? Changing residencies is one of the biggest causes of feline depression. Many cats have trouble transitioning from apartment to apartment or house to house and may fall into a temporary depression while adjusting to the move.  Has there been a death in your household recently? Whether it was a person or a pet, death does affect cats. They do not perceive or understand death the same way humans do, but will notice the absence of a person or animal. This can lead to feelings of depression.  Have you recently become more busy? Whether it's due to work, your social life, or a new romantic partner if you've found yourself spending less time with your feline friend this could easily cause feline depression. Cats, especially breeds like the siamese, are social creatures and may become depressed if they feel they're being neglected. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is not just an affliction of people. Cats can be affected by the time of year and may become depressed...

Article in English: If you notice discharge, a foul smell, and red and tender areas around the gums, the ulcer may have become infected. Talk to your vet immediately about a prescription for an antimicrobial or antibiotic treatment. Treatment may be given by topical medication or through ingestion. Be sure to check the packaging and follow instructions for administering the drug carefully. Regularly brush your cat’s teeth, up to twice a day, to help keep plaque from accumulating and making ulcer-causing conditions worse. Use a soft-bristled or silicone toothbrush and specially formulated toothpaste for cats to gently brush your cat’s teeth on a regular basis.  Wet the toothbrush and apply a small amount of toothpaste. Then, gently massage the brush against your cat’s teeth, focusing on the areas where the teeth meet the gums. Toothbrushes and toothpaste formulated for cats is available at most pet stores, as well as online. On top of cleaning your cat’s teeth, try to schedule oral cleanings regularly with your vet. Talk to your vet about the frequency at which your cat should receive dental cleanings, and try to stick to that schedule. Regular cleanings also allow your vet the chance to extract diseased teeth, which can help prevent ulcers from spreading or getting worse.

Article in English: If you notice even a small hump or rounding of your shoulders, it is a good idea to bring this up to your primary care physician during a regular check-up. You can also schedule a specific appointment to talk about your hunchback if it is painful or concerns you. At the visit, your doctor may ask you to bend forward and reach for your toes. They will then trace your spine and look for any curvature. If your doctor suspects that you may have kyphosis, then they might order a series of X-rays or a MRI scan. Your primary care doctor may refer you on to other specialists who can develop a comprehensive treatment plan for your hunchback. A chiropractor may focus on aligning your muscles with your bones through various sessions. A physical therapist can help to create an exercise program that will help to strengthen the muscles in your back and neck area. If you go to visit your orthopedist, then they may fit you for a back or neck brace. Your doctor will direct you to wear this brace for a certain period each day, often between 18-20 hours total. Or, you might be able to wear the brace just at night. Most braces are designed to be worn under clothing.  Some braces are made out of harder plastic pieces, while others are primarily composed of a series of thick straps. Make sure to wear your brace as much as your doctor suggests or it won’t do its job. Spinal surgery is a very serious procedure, so most doctors only recommend it to patients who need a higher level of care. To treat a hunchback, a surgeon will reposition the spine using a series of screws and rods. Most people begin physical therapy almost immediately after surgery.  Most people take around 1 year to fully recover from the surgery. At that point they can resume most pre-surgery activities. Another surgical option is called kyphoplasty. This where a balloon is placed between the vertebrae (back bones) to lengthen them out. If your hunchback isn’t noticeable or causing any health problems, then you might want to wait to treat it medically. It may be...

Article in English: If you notice little bumps on your genitals or around the borders of your lips that aren't going away or are bothering you, get a referral from your family doctor to a dermatologist, who are skin specialists. The dermatologist will be able to diagnose your condition and put your mind at ease, because Fordyce spots can sometimes look like small warts or the initial stages of a herpes outbreak.  Fordyce spots are a very common phenomenon and appear in about 85% of the population at some time in their lives— males are a little more likely to develop them than females are.  It's important to realize that Fordyce spots are harmless, painless, not infectious and do not require treatment. Their removal should be for cosmetic reasons only. Fordyce spots are much more noticeable when the skin is stretched, and may only be seen during an erection (in males) or during pubic hair management (bikini wax) for females. If you decide to remove some Fordyce spots for cosmetic reasons, talk to your dermatologist about available laser treatments, which are the most common method of getting rid of them and certain other skin conditions. Vaporizing laser treatments, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers, have been used with some success on Fordyce spots, but so have pulsed dye lasers. Ask your doctor which may be most appropriate for your condition and budget.  CO2 lasers were the earliest gas lasers developed and remains the highest-power continuous wave laser treatment currently available for various skin conditions. However, CO2 laser ablation can leave scars afterwards, so it may not be appropriate for Fordyce spots on the face. In contrast, treatment with pulsed dye lasers is more expensive than CO2 lasers, but may be less likely to leave scars. Micro-punch surgery is a procedure that involves using a pen-like device to punch a small hole in the skin and remove tissue. It's often used in hair transplant surgery, but research indicates in can be very effective for removing Fordyce spots also, especially on the genitalia. The...

Article in English: If you notice new buds are forming on the branches of the trees, use your thumb and forefinger to pinch them slightly so they grow well. You can also remove any overgrown branches with gardening shears to keep the tree in check and encourage healthy growth. Use a watering can or jug with a long neck to get to the roots of the plant, as getting water on the stem or leaves can cause rot and attract pests to the tree. Only water the tree’s roots when the soil feels dry, as you do not want to overwater the tree. Water the tree less during the winter months so it does not develop root rot. If you notice the tree’s root system has filled the pot, you may need to repot the tree. Time the repotting for the mid-summer months. Remove the tree and the soil from the pot. Use clean gardening shears to prune back 1/4 of the roots. Then, place the tree in a new pot with drainage holes or gravel and fresh soil. Water the money tree well after you repot it to encourage growth. You can submerge the entire pot in a tub of water or use a watering can to water the roots well.

Article in English: If you notice pain in one or both of your wrists, take a break from the aggravating activity and rest for a few minutes, hours or even days depending on the trigger of the pain. In addition to rest, keep your wrist elevated above the level of your heart as much as you can to help prevent swelling / inflammation from developing.  Taking a 15 minute break at work may be all that's needed to reduce the irritation in your wrist if you do repetitive tasks, such as working as a cashier or constantly typing on a computer. Serious trauma to your wrist, either at work or from playing sports, requires more rest and a doctor's examination (see below). A significant proportion of mild-to-moderate wrist pain is caused by repetitive tasks at work or home. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is an example of a repetitive stress injury to the wrist that irritates the main nerve running into the hand. To combat repetitive strains / sprains, make adjustments to your work environment, such as: lower your keyboard so your wrists are not extended upward while you type, adjust your chair so that your forearms are parallel to the floor, and use an ergonomic typing pad, mouse and split keyboard.  Symptoms of CTS include aching, burning, numbness or tingling sensations in your hand and wrist palm, as well as weakness and reduced dexterity. People who do lots of computer work, cashier jobs, racket sports, sewing, painting, writing and working with vibrating tools are at higher risk for CTS and other repetitive strain injuries. Another helpful strategy for preventing and relieving most types of wrist pain is wearing specially designed wrist splints (also called supports or braces). Wrist splints come in many sizes and are made of different materials, but all are designed to relieve wrist pain. Depending on your job / lifestyle, you may want to start with a less restrictive one (made of neoprene, for example) that allows more movement, instead of a stiffer variety that's more supportive and restrictive.  You may only have to wear the wrist...

There are ways to prevent the hip dysplasia from getting worse, as well as supplements and medications that your dog to take to keep it from feeling pain caused by the dysplasia.  Talk to your vet about giving your dog supplements before giving it medication. Some natural supplements can help your dog regain bone strength. These supplements include omega-3, antioxidants, and joint supplements. Your vet may prescribe a medication for your dog. Make sure to know when and how often your dog should get this treatment. Studies have proven that obese dogs are more likely to develop hip dysplasia. Ask your vet for a recommended feeding guide that you can follow. Most dog foods have a recommended feeding amount, and following it is sufficient. Your dog can become obese when:  The recommended daily feed allowance is exceeded. When your dog consumes high energy snacks but doesn’t get enough exercise. Gentle exercises means that the exercise does not make the hip dysplasia worse. In particular, swimming is a gentle exercise that can keep your dog fit and pain-free. Break your dog’s exercise up into short exercises each day. For example, going on two short 10-minutes walks, and then letting your dog swimming for 10 or 20 minutes, is better than taking your dog for a long 30 minute walk. There are several different surgical procedures available to correct your dog’s hip dysplasia. However, the surgery recommended for your dog will depend on its age, weight, and size. Some examples of different surgeries are:  Triple Pelvic Osteotomy, which is used on young puppies. Total Hip Replacement is recommended for dogs with degenerative arthritis or chronic hip dysplasia.

Отведите вашу собаку к ветеринару на осмотр, если вы заметили признаки дисплазии тазобедренного сустава. Кормите собаку здоровой пищей, которая поможет, чтобы  кости оставались сильными, но не перекармливайте вашу собаку. Убедитесь, что ваш пес делает плавные упражнения в течение коротких периодов каждый день. Поговорите с вашим ветеринаром о хирургии в качестве последнего средства.


Article in English: If you notice symptoms of ulcers or open wounds in your cat’s mouth, make an appointment for an oral exam with your vet. Your vet can tell you not only whether your cat has ulcers, but also may be able to pinpoint their cause.  If your vet notices ulcers, they may ask for permission to perform x-rays and determine whether there is any additional damage to your cat’s jaw. Let your vet know what symptoms you’ve noticed, including those that aren’t directly related to mouth injuries, swelling, or bleeding. This may help your vet better diagnose underlying medical issues. Depending upon what your vet finds during the oral inspection, they may ask permission to run blood or urine tests to determine the cause of the ulcers. Allow your vet to run the tests, as this can help your vet determine the exact cause of your cat’s ulcers and plan better treatment.  Urine tests are generally not painful for cats, and blood tests cause only momentary discomfort. Ulcers can be symptomatic of other, more significant infections, diseases, and health issues with cats, including chronic kidney disease, feline viral rhinopneumonitis (FVR) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Proper diagnosis is necessary to lead to proper treatment and better health for your cat. If your vet diagnoses your cat with mouth ulcers or a mouth ulcer-causing condition, ask specific questions about care for your cat. Inquire, “Will my cat need surgery or other immediate treatment?” and, “What sort of long term care should I expect to provide for my cat?”  Treatment of ulcers will depend greatly upon the cause of the ulcers. Follow your vet’s recommendations closely and make appointments with them and with specialists as necessary. The ulcers themselves will probably be treated symptomatically with a mouth rinse and/or pain medication. The underlying cause for the ulcers will need to be treated as well to prevent more ulcers from forming.

Article in English: If you notice that you have spider mites and want to minimize their damage to your plants, it's best to separate the mite-infested plants. Move them to a different part of your garden or indoors before you try to remove them. Water from a hose is strong enough to kill spider mites. Point a hose towards your plants and spray the leaves down with cold water. Remember to spray under the leaves as well so that you kill all of the mites. Keep the mite infested plants isolated for at least a month so that the spider mites don't spread to your other plants. Water from a hose is not strong enough to destroy spider mite eggs, so spraying the plants down once a week for a month will ensure that you kill the new mites that are hatching.

Article in English: If you notice the guy looking you in the eyes, try meeting his gaze with a smile, and hold it for a few seconds. If he doesn't look away, he might be interested in you, especially if he smiles back.  Keep in mind that this can just be him acknowledging you, or he may be in the habit of looking everyone in the eye. On the other hand, some guys are really shy when they like someone, so he may actually make eye contact less often if he's really into you. When you like someone, you can't help but smile when they're near. If the guy you're around always lights up as soon as he sees you, it could mean that he has a crush on you! He could just smile at you because you're friends, so be careful not to jump to conclusions. If you're talking to a guy or hanging out with him as part of a group, you might notice that whenever you touch your face or your hair, he does the same thing. Subconsciously mirroring someone else's behavior is a sign that you're attracted to them, so that could be a good clue that he's into you. To try this out, try repeating a small movement, like brushing your hair off of forehead or straightening the hem of the shirt, then watch whether he does the same thing. Without realizing it, we tend to lean toward people we like, and we lean away from people we don't like. When you're talking to the guy in question, watch whether he turns his body toward you or away from you. You can also watch whether his feet are pointing toward you, which can be another sign that he's interested. Sometimes, guys can get a little bashful when they like someone. If you notice that a guy blushes, stammers, or gets quiet when you come around, he might have a crush on you, although he could just be naturally shy. If you notice a guy doing this and you like him too, try giving him a little smile or a touch on the arm to reassure him. It may help set him at ease. If a guy is always ready with a hug, he frequently touches you on your arm or shoulder, or he looks for reasons he can by physically close to you, he might like...

Article in English: If you notice the stains before it has a chance to dry, you might be more likely to remove it all. Try running your clothing through a regular washing cycle in your washing machine with standard detergent. If the clothing is white, add bleach for extra washing power. New caulk stains or ones that have not completely dried may come off with a normal wash. Wet a rag or a paper towel. Press the towel firmly against the caulk, and let the moisture sink in. Dab the area again and again, and gently rub the stain out of the fabric. Try to blot as much of the caulk as possible off of the garment. After you have removed as much excess caulk as you can, wet a piece of folded paper towel with some rubbing alcohol. Blot the stain, firmly, and let the alcohol soak deep into the fabric. Dab the stain as many times as needed to remove the stain.  You may need to reapply several times to remove the stain. Add more alcohol each time. Always use a clean section of the towel. If the towel becomes overly stained and saturated with caulk, you may need to switch to another rag. Once the stain is removed, launder the garment in cold or warm water. When you remove the garment from the washer, examine the stain to make sure it's completely removed. You may have to wash it a few times to get the stain completely out. Don't place it in a dryer with any stain remaining, since the heat will set it.

Article in English: If you notice webbing on branches or spots on your leaves, you should prune these parts of the plant with hand pruners or shears. Discard the infested parts of the plant in the trash. Throwing away mite infested portions of a plant near your garden may spread mites to other plants. Moisture will keep mites away from your plants. Moving the plants indoors and misting them with water 2-3 times a day will reduce the likelihood of mites infesting the plants. You can also keep the plants over a saucer of water to prevent your plants from attracting mites. Spider mites thrive in dry conditions, and a humidifier will help keep them away. Do not use a humidifier when applying horticultural oils.

Article in English: If you notice your goldfish are congregating to the surface, odds are there isn't enough in the water. But good news! Oxygen levels will raise with a temperature reduction. So lower the temperature or get your aquarium out of the sun -- hopefully, crisis averted. or you can get a bubbler and an air pump to move the water. If you've read all of this page, you're aware of the most common problems -- so you can avoid them! As long as you maintain appropriate pH, ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, and oxygen levels, don't overfeed your fish, and clean the tank, you've answered 95% of your pets' possible problems. Good for you! First things first, dispose of your fish in a way that won't stink up the house. You can bury it, or, if you feel so inclined, throw it in the compost heap. Do not flush the fish down the toilet! Grab it from the tank with a plastic bag around your hands, invert the bag, and tie it up. How you clean your aquarium depends on your situation.  If only one fish died, hopefully it was a parasite that you saw quickly enough so as to avoid it spreading to the other creatures in the tank. If all your fish are dying or dead, you'll need to clean out your aquarium entirely with a bleach solution. Just 1/4 of a teaspoon (a dash) for every gallon (3.8 liters) of water should do the trick. Let it soak for an hour or two to get rid of all the toxins. Then, remove the water and let it dry out.

Article in English: If you observe or experience any of the signs or symptoms of malabsorption in yourself or your child, and/or are at risk for the condition, see your doctor as soon as possible. Early diagnosis is critical to help treat the condition and prevent long-term damage, especially in children.  Your doctor may be able to diagnose malabsorption based on a detailed patient history.  Your doctor may also use a variety of tests to help diagnose malabsorption. It’s important to recognize your specific symptoms and write them down before you see your doctor. Not only will this help you best explain the symptoms you’re experiencing and how you’re feeling, but will also ensure that you don’t forget potentially important information.  Tell your doctor about the symptoms you experience and how they feel. For example, if you’re experiencing bloating and cramping, use descriptive words like severe, dull, or strong. You can use these kinds of terms to describe many physical symptoms.  Mention how long you’ve had your symptoms. The more specific date you can pinpoint, the easier it may be for your doctor to figure out what is causing your symptoms.  Note how frequently you have or notice symptoms. This information can also help your doctor figure out what’s causing your symptoms. For example, you could say “I have flatulence and bulky stools every day,” or “I have edema in my feet occasionally.” Let your doctor know about any changes in your life, such as increased stress. Provide your doctor a list of your medications, which may also exacerbate asthma. If your doctor suspects that you have malabsorption, they may order tests after conducting your physical exam, asking a series of questions about your symptoms, and ruling out other causes. These tests can help confirm a diagnosis of malabsorption. It’s likely you will need to provide a stool sample for testing when your doctors suspects malabsorption. This can help confirm the diagnosis and help formulate an effective treatment plan.  The stool sample will be tested for excess fat...

Article in English: If you observe these symptoms, you should bring it to a doctor's attention as soon as possible. He or she will be able to give you a professional diagnosis and immediately begin the treatment process. If you’re trying to find out if someone other than yourself has cirrhosis, make sure to include that person in your evaluation, as there may be symptoms that can't be observed from the outside. The symptoms of cirrhosis include:  Fatigue, or feeling tired Easy bruising or bleeding Lower extremity edema (swelling) Yellow-tinted skin and eyes (jaundice) Fever Lack of appetite or weight loss Nausea Diarrhea Intense itching (pruritus) Increased abdominal girth Confusion Sleep disturbance The more technical terms for this condition are spider angiomata, spider nevi, or spider telangiectasias. Spider veins are an abnormal cluster of veins that sprout from a central blood vessel with a lesion. They usually appear on the trunk of the body, the face, and the upper limbs.  To verify spider veins, press a piece of glass over the suspected cluster of veins. The red dot in the center of the cluster will seem to pulsate — getting red as blood enters, then blanching as blood exits to the smaller veins. Large and multiple spider angiomas are a sign of more severe cirrhosis.  However, they are also common with pregnancy and severe malnutrition. Occasionally, they are seen in otherwise healthy individuals. Palmar erythema looks like speckled patches of reddening spots on the palm, and is caused by changed sex hormone metabolism. Palmar erythema mainly affects mainly the outer edges of your palms along your thumb and pinky, and spares the central palm. Other causes of palmar erythema include pregnancy, rheumatoid arthritis, hyperthyroidism, and blood problems. Liver disease in general often affects the skin, but observing the nails can provide useful additional information. Muehrcke's nails are pale horizontal bands or stripes that run across the nail bed.

Hanging them on fences can give your yard a festive fall look as well. This is an optional way to dry gourds by hanging them. Run a string through the holes and hang the gourds upside down. Be aware that puncturing the gourds may lead to mold growth inside of the gourds. If you don't mind having holes in your dried gourd, this may speed up the drying process.

Article in English: If you only have one Lladro piece to sell, extensive research won't be necessary. On the other hand, if you have a large collection of pieces to sell, you should probably do some research regarding the various finishes and trademarks used for certain Lladro pieces. Focus your research on information that will allow you to verify the authenticity of each piece. For instance, most Lladro pieces are marked with the company's bellflower trademark, but some older pieces may not have it. Get as much detail as possible. At minimum, you should know the piece number and name of the piece.  If you still have the original packaging, both the piece number and name should be on it. In rare instances, this information may also be printed on the base of the piece. When possible, you should also find out the date the piece was originally issued and, when appropriate, the date it was retired. Identify the sculptor, too. Anyone who wants to sell a large volume of Lladro porcelain should invest in a recent edition of an identification and price guide.  Find the most recent guide possible and look for one focused in your native currency. For instance, if you live in the United States, choose a guide that lists each value in U.S. dollars. If possible, choose an edition that is only one or two years old. Information will be too outdated in any version older than that. A catalog of active Lladro pieces can be found on the company's official website. If the piece you want to sell is part of an active collection, the current retail price of that piece should be available through the Lladro catalog. You can also find out other information, like issue date or product specifics, via the catalog. "Value" is a somewhat subjective term. You'll need to research the various listed values for a specific piece and determine the true sale value through comparison.  Retail value refers to the price an official retailer would charge for a piece. Replacement value refers to the amount of money a piece can be insured for. Auction value refers to...

Article in English: If you only hear from her when she needs help with her homework or a project, or she needs a ride somewhere, but she doesn't have time to talk to you or she's always too busy to hang out, she might be manipulating you and not truly interested in you. Relationships go two ways--one person should not always be giving or doing things for the other person and get nothing in return. While this means you two are close and she has genuine affection for you, it's unlikely she sees you as anything beyond a good friend. Saying you think of someone as a sibling is basically removing any romantic possibilities from the equation. Even if there's not a chance for romance, a girl who describes you this way definitely values your presence in her life. If you can hardly get a word in because she's talking about what she was doing last weekend, her plans for winter break, then gossiping about her friend, and she has yet to ask about your weekend, she's probably more into herself than she's into you.  If you know all the details of her life but she struggles to remember even the most basic things about you, she's likely not interested in you, but she's probably not a very good friend, either. If she doesn't ask you a lot questions about yourself but she already seems to know a lot about you, then she's probably interested in you. It's likely she's been asking her friends about you and paying attention to the sports or clubs you are involved in. Try telling her something surprising about yourself and see how she reacts.

Article in English: If you only plan to be a reverend of a small home church unaffiliated with any denomination, a shortcut can work. If you ever plan to work through a larger church or within a certain denomination, though, do not expect to be taken seriously if you took a shortcut through the ordination process. . The most common shortcut people take toward becoming an ordained reverend is by applying online. These services usually require you to submit a fee and to fill out some brief paperwork before you gain your a “license” from them to act as a reverend. If you do go this route, try to find a service that will at least provide you with a hard copy of your certificate instead of simply allowing you to print one out. While it is rare, some independent, non-denominational Christian churches will ordain someone with little to no formal training. At most, you might only be expected to take a class or two before being ordained.

There are no obligations regarding how often you should write, but whatever you decide, let your pen pal know up front so that they don’t expect more from you.   If your pen pal is not as committed as you are, keep looking.  Don't feel that you need to limit yourself to just one pen pal at a time. Similarly, if you can't keep up with your pen pal, consider finding one who is more patient or willing to wait for your replies. Lots of little things make great gifts for your pen pal.  If your pen pal lives in another country, they might be interested in coins from your native country.  You could also include recent articles you think your pen pal might find of interest, and reference them in the text of your letter.  If you are very close to your pen pal and feel comfortable, you could send a photo of yourself doing a fun activity.   If writing to a pen pal in prison, ask if they can receive certain items before sending them.  Each prison sets its own guidelines regarding what is and isn't allowed. Decorate your letter.  If you’re artistic, include little drawings or sketches to illustrate your text.  Include stickers to add a personal touch. If, for instance, your pen pal comments that they started a new job, ask them in your reply how they like it, if their coworkers are kind, and so on.  Take an interest in what they are going through.  If your pen pal has questions, answer them.  If there are any questions you don’t want to answer, tell your pen pal directly. Ask for photos of your pen pal’s pets, collections, and art. Growing closer to your pen pal requires including personal feelings and experiences, but you should not offer a blow-by-blow account of your every waking hour since your last letter.  Let the conversation between you and your pen pal develop naturally.  Reference major events in your life, like attending a movie, getting an award at school,...

Article in English: If you or someone you know is being bullied, talk to someone you trust, such as a coach, teacher, parent, or guidance counselor. Tell them what is going on so you can get some help with the situation. Some schools even have programs set up specifically designed to deal with bullying. Bullying is when someone is humiliated, made fun of, or abused over time by their peers. It's not just getting in an argument or even someone calling someone else bad names. It's not just a single incident, but an ongoing campaign against a person. Getting into a fight can get you into serious trouble, even if you didn't start it. Many schools have a zero-tolerance policy for violence, and you could be expelled from school or worse.  If they continue to come after you, turn to face them, but maintain your distance. Keep them at arm's length at all times, as if they get closer, they can tackle or punch you.  In some areas, you can even be charged with a crime, particularly if you're 17 or 18, depending on the legal age you become an adult in your state. Don't glare at them or stare at the ground. Rather, hold their gaze and show them you have confidence. If you show aggression, you can egg them on. If you show vulnerability, they may want to start the fight even more. Starting a fight can get you in even more trouble than just defending yourself. Once you throw that punch, you never know how things are going to turn out. You could be seriously injured, ending up with broken teeth or even a concussion, or you could injure someone else just as badly. No matter what happens, whether you win or lose, you're still going to lose because there will be consequences. Try to find another way than throwing a punch. Walk away or find some help. Some people will only fight you if there are no witnesses around, particularly if there are no teachers to see it. Yell as loud as you can to get people to come to your aid. If people arrive, you may not need to fight. Try yelling, "Fire," "Help!" or "Call 911."

Some symptoms of short-term jaundice in adults are:  Fever Chills Abdominal pain Other flu-like symptoms A change in your skin color and whites of eyes to a more yellow pallor. Children and infants can also develop jaundice. Jaundice is common in infants and it often goes away on its own within two weeks. However, severe jaundice can cause serious complications for some infants.  To check for jaundice, look for a yellowish skin tone and a yellowish tone to the whites of your infant or child's eyes. If your child or infant develops jaundice, then call your doctor right away. In adults, jaundice is often caused by underlying conditions that require treatment. Your doctor man run tests to confirm a diagnosis of these conditions causing your jaundice and then formulate a treatment plan from there. You may need to have have to have blood work, an ultrasound, CT scan, or a even a liver biopsy to find the cause of your jaundice. Common conditions that can cause jaundice include:  Hepatitis A Chronic Hepatitis B and C Epstein-Barr viral infection, or infectious mononucleosis Excessive alcohol consumption Autoimmune or genetic disorders Gallstones Gallbladder inflammation Gallbladder cancer Pancreatitis Certain medications such as acetaminophen, penicillin, oral contraceptives and steroids may also cause jaundice.  Your doctor can diagnose jaundice by looking for signs of liver disease including bruising, spider angiomas, palmar erythema, and urinalysis that indicates the presence of bilirubin. Your doctor may also use imaging or liver biopsy to confirm a diagnosis. If your doctor discovers an underlying condition that are causing your jaundice, she will likely treat that to see if it clears up other related health issues. Treating causes and complications of underlying conditions may...

Article in English: If you or your doctor suspects you have a peanut allergy, you should make an appointment with an allergist or immunologist right away. This professional will first obtain a thorough history and physical. The focus of this appointment will be the response you experience when you encounter peanuts or tree nuts.   Accommodating food allergies can have a profound effect on lifestyle, quality of life and mental health. It is important to be prepared for a possible allergic reaction, but to also not live in fear based only on tests which may have false positive results. Ask about possible desensitization treatments called Immunotherapy to reduce the risk of a severe reaction from a small accidental exposure. There are several different Immunotherapy protocols, some of which are still in clinical trials. There are several immunologic tests that can be administered to provoke the IgE response. This response will help assess the scope of the peanut allergy, but ultimately the only way to be absolutely certain is with an Oral Challenge test.  If the patient has had anaphylaxis previously the doctor may choose to start with blood testing to avoid the risk of triggering that reaction again. Typically skin prick testing is the first to be performed. This test involves exposing you to a potential allergen. The possibility exists that you may experience anaphylaxis. Therefore, this test is done under close supervision of a skilled allergist and immunologist who are also skilled at treating anaphylaxis.  The allergist will perform an initial diagnostic, exposing you to common allergens. A small amount of calibrated solution will be placed on the skin and a special tool will painlessly make a shallow scratch. The allergist will diagram the scratch sites, to keep track of which area is injected with which allergen. You will be monitored for any acute and dangerous response that requires immediate attention. Otherwise, the injection sites are checked for the presence of a “wheal,” or raised itchy area, which would indicate an...

Article in English: If you or your friends spot the cat, be careful. Your animal might be afraid or wounded. Call your friends for backup and try to talk to the cat. Look for potential escape routes and try to anticipate its movements. Approach slowly and, if possible, offer food. Let the cat sniff your hand and give it time to trust you. Gently take the animal in your arms.  If your cat is visibly wounded, try to be extremely careful. You don't want to aggravate the situation or cause unnecessary pain. Make sure you take the right cat! It's not always easy to distinguish similar animals. Look for distinctive marks and try to see if he recognises you. If your cat was away for a long time, you don't want to traumatize it further. Let your animal rest for a few days and offer plenty of food. Talk to your animal and show your love.  Don't let your cat out too soon after its disappearance. It needs to find its marks and get used to the environment. If you decide to let your cat go out again, go with it. Let your pet explore a small area at first. Increase the zone in which it is allowed each day. If you cat was out for a few days, it might be worth bringing your animal to an animal clinic. Injuries, such as a rib fracture, are not always easy to spot. Your cat might also have caught a skin disease or fleas.   If there is a visible wound when you recover your cat, don't delay the visit. An infection might spread quickly. Don't forget to take its medical history with you. It might matter in a treatment.

Article in English: If you order a dish like tacos or quesadillas, the server will probably ask you if you want corn or flour tortillas. Choose corn, as they're a healthier and lower calorie option. Corn tortillas are made up of whole grain and have much more fiber than their flour tortilla counterpart.  Calorie-wise, corn tortillas tend to be much lower in caloric content. Two flour tortillas come in at almost 300 calories while four corn tortillas contain about 200 calories.  Flour tortillas are also higher in fat, saturated fat, sugar, and sodium than corn tortillas.  However, both flour and corn tortillas are fairly high in carbs, so if you're on a low carb diet it might be best to skip foods that use tortillas altogether. Mexican dishes are usually served with a variety of sauces, salsas, and creams. You also generally get a side dish if you order an entree. When selecting sauces and sides, go for healthier options.  If dishes offer sour cream on the side or as part of the entree, like sour cream in the burrito, see if you can swap sour cream for salsa. Mexican salsa is usually made from uncooked veggies and condiments, making it relatively low in calories and fat.  Pico de gallo is a Mexican salad often used as a garnish made from diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. You could ask this as a substitute for sour cream or other heavy cream sauces in a burrito or taco.  When it comes to side dishes, beans and rice can be a healthy choice, but you should stay away from refried beans. These are high in calories and fat. Ask for black beans and, if it's offered, order brown rice or Spanish rice, as such dishes have more nutritional benefits than white rice.  It also might be a good idea to skip the beans and rice altogether as a side. Many Mexican restaurants offer grilled veggies, which are probably your healthiest option for dining out at a Mexican restaurant. Dishes like chile relleno, chimichangas, gorditas, and taquitos are usually deep fried before they're served. This ups the fat and calorie content. It's best to...

Article in English: If you own your own home, or if your landlord allows subletting, renting out your living space can be a major cost-saver. If you're lucky, you can rent the use of your car as well for an extra charge. Look into house swap arrangements for another alternative. Check your passport and your family's passports early to make sure they won't expire before you return from the sabbatical. Renewing them can take weeks (or expensive fees for quick service). You'll probably also need to acquire a visa for each country you visit, depending on the relations between your country of citizenship and your destination. Contact the nearest consulate representing your destination country, to apply for these visas or find out more. Large banks often have "sister banks" abroad that you can access your account from. Contact your banking representative to set this up before you leave. Let your bank and your credit card company know when you'll be abroad, if possible, as an unexpected expense in a foreign country can sometimes cause them to block the card. Your current health insurance most likely does not cover time spent abroad. Purchase travel insurance for you and your family, or talk to your health care provider about paying for international coverage. Do your research well before you leave, and compare several options for continuing your child's schooling. Young children often adapt to language changes quickly, so you do not necessarily need to limit your search to schools that teach in their native language. Start taking language lessons or listening to audio language lessons as soon as you can, and stick with it. Talk to native speakers or watch films with subtitles as well, since regular conversation is always faster and harder to follow than lessons. Every location has its quirks, dangers, and opportunities. Discovering them is part of the fun, but if you can find out some of them in advance, you can save yourself a lot of headaches. If you don't know anyone who's been personally, join an online travel forum, look for...

Article in English: If you panic while you’re swimming you are at risk for drowning. Focus on your breathing and your form. If you’re in the deep end of a pool, calmly find your way to the shallow end. If you’re out in a larger body of water, look for something to stand on or something to hold on to.  If you need help calming down, float on your back and focus on breathing deeply. When you panic, you become short of breath. This can make it harder to float. If you aren’t a confident swimmer wear a lifejacket, especially when you’re swimming in large bodies of water. An inexperienced swimmer can usually make it to the edge of the pool, but they might have trouble making it to the shore. Fortunately, you can use the correct dog paddle form when wearing a life jacket.  If you don’t want to wear a lifejacket but still want to be safe, use a Safer Swimmer. This is a small life buoy that attaches to a belt and floats behind you as you swim.  When in doubt, have children wear a life jacket. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Never swim alone. If you have a panic attack in the water or have trouble staying afloat your friend will be able to help you. Try to swim at pools that employ lifeguards. Lifeguards are trained to help you if you’re drowning and to administer basic first aid.  Have a cell phone nearby when you swim just in case you need to call your local emergency number. Always obey pool rules and regulations.

Article in English: If you perform the same action day after day, then your muscles will grow fatigued and overly tired, instead of strengthening. Mix up your physical activities by doing both cardio and weight training. Take a yoga class, do some water exercises, or plan a quick bicycle ride. Creating an exercise schedule will help you meet your health goals while adding variety. For example, on Mondays you might consistently take a yoga class, whereas Fridays are for cycling. Plan your meals around healthy proteins, such as chicken, fish, legumes, soy, milk, and eggs. Eat filling snacks, such as almonds or Greek yogurt, in between meals. Protein helps build muscle tissue.  If you don’t currently have this amount of protein in your diet, it’s not necessary to jump to these levels immediately. Instead, gradually add more proteins into your meals and monitor how your body responds. You can also drink some of your proteins by making healthy shakes using Greek yogurt, milk, and whey powder. Use a milk substitute, like almond or soy milk, if you need to.

Article in English: If you pick something that you're passionate about, then your audience will be able to see and feel your passion. This will also make you much more excited to generate ideas for the speech and to deliver the speech. If you only have a limited amount of options and can't pick anything you're truly passionate about, you should at least pick something that you like or are interested in to make it easier and more enjoyable for you to write and deliver the speech. If you're giving a speech at a professional conference, then it's logical that you would pick a topic that you're an expert on so you can give credibility to your speech. But even if you're not delivering a speech in a professional setting or on a particularly complicated topic, you should still pick something you know a lot about, whether it's baseball or your neighborhood. You can even start by making a list of the things you're knowledgeable about, whether it's your family, career, politics, gardening, pets, or travel.  You don't have to know every single thing about a topic to deliver a great speech. You can pick something that you're knowledgeable about, and can supplement that job with some careful research. If you're picking a subject you're knowledgeable about but know you'll need to research further, make sure the topic is easy to research. If you pick something fairly obscure, then it may be difficult to find more information about it. It could have to do with literature, movies, sports, foreign languages, or even gender relations. Whatever it is, you may even be able to find a theme that carries through a variety of categories, such as "loss of innocence." Make a list of all of your hobbies and interests and see what would make for an engaging speech topic. You may find a large overlap between the things you're interested in and the things you know. If there has been a topic that has been in the news again and again, you can use it as an occasion for a speech. It may be something controversial like gay marriage or gun control, but if the...

Article in English: If you pick up the phone as soon as he calls, or if you agree to go on a date with him even if he asks you out just hours before, then he'll start to think that there's nothing exciting in your life besides hanging out with him. If you want the guy to chase you, then he has to feel like you have a lot going on and that you're difficult to get a hold of. Of course, you don't want him to think you're so busy that you can never hang out with him, or he'll get bored, but strike a balance between being busy and being available enough to see him so he stays interested.  If he calls you, don't pick up on the first ring. Better yet, let a few hours go by before you return his call. The same goes for texting. If he shoots you a text, let some time go by before you get back to him, unless it's particularly time sensitive. Once you've established some kind of a relationship and have hooked up a few times, don't be afraid to let him know when you're in the mood when you're apart. You need to call him one day at work and tell him about the naughty things you've been thinking about doing to him. It will make him lust after you until he can get his hands on you. Do this sparingly, at the right moments, and you'll have him wrapped around your little finger. Choose your timing well. You don't want to tell him you're feeling frisky if he's about to head into a job interview or is spending his day with his grandmother. Sure, playing hard to get is great fun, but if you do it too much, he'll start to think that you're too hard to get. You have to back up and give in a little bit, letting him know that you do care about him. Cook him a homemade meal on his birthday. Call him just to say hi. Get two tickets to his favorite team's home game. Do something nice for him to keep him interested, and then pull back again. If you cook him that homemade meal every day, then yeah, he'll start to take you for granted. Find a balance between playing hard to get and giving in every once in a while. You can't always act one way or another. If...

Article in English: If you place it on the ground, floor, a stick will appear anchoring the sign to the ground. Place the sign on a wall and no stick will appear. The sign will also be placed in the direction you're facing; for example, if you're facing in a diagonal direction while placing the sign, it will face that way.  You can place a sign on any of the following items: any block, including fences, glass, other signs, minecart tracks, and even chests (while sneaking). If you place a sign underwater, a water bubble will escape after placement. You can use this air bubble to breathe underwater. Once you place your sign, a text box will appear. This text box has four lines, each of which can hold 15 characters for a grand total of 60 characters. Once you complete the text of the sign, the only way to edit the text is to destroy the sign and place it again. Liquids such as water and lava cannot pass through a space occupied by a sign, making signs particularly useful as a water stopper (if, for example, you encounter an air pocket underwater and want to block off the flow of water).   However, as of the 1.13 Aquatic Update, water physics have changed and will flow in the same block as the sign. Signs can also be used for the arms of a sofa. Craft two steps and place two signs on either side of the steps for a couch or chair.

Article in English: If you place your stand in front of your house, only a few of your neighbors will see you. Instead, choose a location that gets a lot of foot traffic, so more people will know you're in business. Local parks and beaches are good options, especially on a nice day.  You can also ask your church or a local grocery store if they’ll give you permission to set up your stand by their entrance. Make sure you ask permission before setting up your stand on private property. Make a schedule of local events. If there are street festivals or sporting events, set up your stand nearby.  Think of where people will be warmest and thirstiest. People who've been laying out on the beach or have just played 18 rounds of golf in the sun will be more likely to buy your lemonade.  Be aware of the weather. If the sun if very hot on the day you want to work your stand, make sure to choose a spot with a lot of shade. At the very least, your stand will need to have a good, sturdy table and chair for you to sit in. Make sure you put them on level ground, so your stand doesn’t wobble and spill lemonade all over the place. It’s also a good idea to cover the table with a tablecloth or blanket in a bright color that attracts attention.  Make sure the fabric reaches to the ground in the front of your table. That way, you can store extra supplies underneath the table, but not let your customers see the clutter down there. Set up your pitchers, cups, napkins, and straws in a neat arrangement. The tidier your stand looks, the more people will want to visit. If you’re planning on working at your stand for a long period of time, you want it to be as comfortable as you can make it. Keep water on hand in case you get sick of drinking lemonade for refreshment. You should also put a comfy or soft cushion on your chair to keep your bottom from getting sore. If the weather's hot, keep a battery-powered fan on hand, or fan yourself with a piece of paper.  If you're out there long enough, you might find that the shade moves away and exposes you to the...

Article in English: If you plan on asking your girlfriend if she wants to have sex, then you should do it in an intimate setting -- not while you're splitting a cheeseburger. So, if you're ready to have sex, and it turns out that she's ready to have sex, then what does this mean? Condoms. Don't show up at her place, or invite her to yours, knowing that there's a chance you'll have sex without being prepared.  Don't show the condoms to her or creep her out, but have them at your disposal just in case she is ready. Nothing will ruin an intimate moment more than a trip to the drugstore. Once you're prepared for action, you should reach a point where you're intimate with your lady. This means you should take her out, make her feel special, and then get some time alone with her. How intimate do you have to be? This depends on how fast things progress. If you're already in the bedroom and part -- or most -- of your clothes are off, then it is time to ask her for confirmation that she is ready to take things to the next level.  If you're just kissing on the couch and she doesn't make any more moves, it may be too soon to ask. When the time is right, stroke your woman, look into her eyes, and say, "Are you ready?" Don't say, "Wanna have sex?" or "Wanna get it on?" Or she won't take you seriously. Make it clear that you're asking whether or not she's ready for sex, and wait for a response. She'll appreciate that you can be subtle and open at the same time. Obviously, make sure your girl is sober when this decision is made. The worst thing you can do is pressure her into doing something she'll regret later when you're both under the influence. If she says she's ready for sex, then do a private cheer, get your condoms, and get ready to get it on. And if she says she's not ready, respect her decision and let her know that you're perfectly cool with that. Tell her she's worth the wait and that she can take all the time she needs. Be a gentleman. If you get angry or try to pressure her, then she'll be second guessing your relationship right...

Article in English: If you plan on canning and keeping the pineapple jam for a long time, you will have to make an environment that will allow the jam to keep. Sterilize Bottles and Jars for Canning to ensure that the jam won’t spoil after a couple months.  Make sure to use the canning jars that have the rings and the screw-on top. These jars provide an airtight seal and are optimal for canning. If you plan to eat the jam within the next few weeks, you don’t have to bother with the canning process: you can simply pour the jam into a jar and keep it refrigerated. After you have finished making the jam and sterilizing the jars, pour the jam immediately into the sterilized jars. You can use a funnel or measuring cup to transfer the jam from the pot to the jar if you are worried about spilling. Don’t fill up the jars completely. Leave about a ¼ inch (0.6 cm) of space at the top. Because jam is sticky, it can make jars extremely hard to open if it gets stuck on the rim. Before you close the jars, use a clean towel to wipe the rims and remove any excess jam. Place the jars in a large pot of water on the stove. Make sure that the jars are completely covered in water, with at least 2 inches of water above the tops of each jar. Boil them for five minutes, then remove the jars using a pair of tongs.  You should see a small indent at the top of the jars after you take them out of the bath. This means that they are sealed and won’t spoil for about 18 months! Again, you can skip this step if you plan on eating the jam within the next month or so. Let the jars cool on the counter until they reach room temperature. Then store them either on the shelf or in your refrigerator. If you went through the sterilization and canning process, the jam is usually best eaten after two weeks, as it can be a bit runny if eaten in the days following canning.

Article in English: If you plan on curing bamboo, you need to collect bamboo first. Understand which seasons are best when it comes to collecting bamboo.  The best time to harvest bamboo is at the end of the dry season in your area. Starch content is at its highest during this season, making parasite and fungal attacks less likely.  If you have a rainy season, avoid harvesting bamboo during this time. In general, bamboo is most susceptible to damage during this season. Use a machete or saw to cut bamboo. Make sure to cut just above the first or second node above the ground. This is the best place to cut bamboo to prevent damage during storage and transportation. Once you've cut bamboo, make sure you transport it properly. Improper transportation techniques can lead to damage.  Carry the bamboo above the ground or transport in a wheelbarrow or truck. Dragging bamboo across the ground can cause damage.  Do not throw bamboo culms on hard ground. This can cause damage. When you reach the storage area, set the bamboo culms down gently. When you harvest bamboo, culms should not be too young or too old. Aim for bamboo poles between 4 and 7 years old for best results.  Bamboo tends to grow in clumps. Poles that are inside the clump are older than those growing outside.  Talk to an experienced bamboo harvester. He or she will be able to tell the age of bamboo by knocking on the culm and observing the different sounds.

Article in English: If you plan on keeping the fireflies that you have caught, put them in a glass jar so that you can see their light. Mason jars are popular jars to store fireflies is. Do not poke any holes in the jar, as this could dry out the air and possibly cause the firefly to get injured while trying to escape. Remember that fireflies like humid, damp spaces. Only keep a few fireflies in a jar at the same time. This will give the fireflies some room to fly around. Creating a habitat in the jar will help keep the fireflies alive and happy. Put a small piece of apple and a small handful of fresh grass in the jar. The apple will help keep the air in the jar moist, and the grass will give them something to climb on, eat, and hide in. Although it can be tempting to keep fireflies for a long time, it's best to let them grafter a short while. Ideally, you should let fireflies go before bed. If you keep them overnight, be sure to release them the following morning. They need to be in their natural habitat in order to survive, and keeping them in a jar for longer than a day can cause them to die.
