Article in English: Surrounding the egg with cereal can be a surprisingly effective way of distributing the force of the impact. For best results, choose a "puff" type cereal over something with flakes. These puffs contain a decent amount of air and make better cushions.  Wrap the egg around with wet paper towels. Place the egg in one plastic bag and surround it with a puffed rice cereal. Fill four other small bags with the same cereal but do not put any eggs inside. Place all the bags inside of a larger resealable bag. Make sure that the bag with the egg in it is in the middle and all the other bags are packed around it from all sides. Packing material is designed for the specific purpose of protecting fragile items from bumps and blows. If you have enough of it, this material can also protect a raw egg from breaking after a nasty tumble.   The simplest way to approach this is to get heavy-duty bubble wrap. Carefully wind the bubble wrap around the egg anywhere from two to five times, creating a thick cushion. Tie the ends of the bubble wrap with rubber bands to prevent the egg from slipping out through the top or bottom. If you do not have bubble wrap but do have other packing materials, like packing peanuts, inflated plastic packing packets, packing paper, cotton balls, or crumpled newspaper, you can use these materials to cushion the egg, as well. Spread a thick layer of your chosen packing material inside a box that is at least four to eight times larger than the egg. You should use enough material to fill the box halfway. Place the egg in the center of this cushion, then gently cover it with enough packing material to fill the rest of the box. Close the box and seal it with tape before the drop. These airy, soft foods can be used like cereal or packing materials. The basic idea is to surround the egg with enough of a cushion using these foods to reduce the force of the impact the egg faces once it lands.  The exact container you use does not necessarily make a difference, but there are a few things you should keep in mind....

Article in English: Surrounding yourself with friends and loved ones will help keep your mind on all of the positive aspects of your life, and off of your ex. It's also important to commit yourself to the hobbies and activities that you most enjoy, especially if your ex kept you from pursuing them.  If your social life revolved around your ex, it's important to get out there and make new friends. Try joining clubs or participating in volunteer activities to meet new people. If you relied on your ex for emotional support, try relying on someone other than a romantic partner for this kind of support, like a best friend or a sibling. You might be surprised to discover just how much support you really have!  Staying busy really will help you move on faster. If you find yourself thinking obsessively about your ex when you are at home alone, come up with something to do, whether it's having dinner with a friend, visiting a museum by yourself, or going for a walk. You may have planned a future with your ex, and if you did, it's understandable that everything might feel uncertain now. Try to focus on the positives by reminding yourself of all of the great things you can and will accomplish in the future without your ex. Try to enjoy your present-day life as well. Even though you may want to be in a relationship, there are lots of benefits to being single too, so try to  enjoy it while it lasts. In order to boost your mood, it's important to practice healthy habits. Make sure you exercise regularly and get plenty of sleep. Committing yourself to a healthy lifestyle will not only make you feel good, but it may just offer you the escape you need from thoughts about your ex. Meditating might help you regain your positivity and let go of the stress associated with your breakup. There's no golden rule for when you should start dating again after a breakup, so do whatever you feel is right for you. Avoid jumping into a new relationship just because you don't want to be alone, but don't be afraid to put yourself out there either! Some people...

Article in English: Survey your yard and decide where your driveway should be. Also, decide if you want a parking area or a circular driveway.  Remember that a larger driveway will be more expensive than a smaller one. Watch for any drainage issues in the area where the driveway will be. It is important to position your driveway so that the water will run off the sides and not pool in the middle of it. You may delineate your driveway area with landscaping timber or bricks. This is optional. You will need to mark off the area of your new driveway before starting the driveway project.  Place sticks or landscape stakes in the ground every 8 to 10 feet along the length of one side of the area that will be your driveway. Place  a second set of stakes at least 10 to 12 feet across from the first set of stakes to mark the width of the driveway.  You may want to make the width 14 feet if your driveway curves. You will need to know the length and width of your entire driveway.  If your driveway curves, you might want to measure in sections and add them together instead of trying to measure all at once. For a really stable driveway, experts recommend laying three separate layers of different sizes of stone.  This will take extra money and planning, so you need to decide early if this is the type of driveway you want. Laying a gravel driveway yourself, even if it is fairly short in length, will require time and physically intense labor.  If you are physically unable to do heavy lifting and repetitive work (such as raking the gravel), you may need to hire someone to help you.

Article in English: Surveyors are looking for specific types of people, and while you won't qualify for every survey (if you're a 25-year-old healthy hipster and they're looking for a 60-year-old couch potato, you're just not going to make the cut). Many survey companies offer screener surveys when you register, which usually don't pay.  However, it's an important first step, and worth the little extra time it takes to fill these screening surveys out because the more demographic information the market research companies have on you, the more surveys they can send you. Remember, you will only be matched with surveys that you can actually contribute to, so if you leave all your screener information blank to get through it more quickly, you will receive fewer survey opportunities. Keep an eye out on both the site and your email regularly for survey opportunities. Some companies offer surveys more often than others—and you certainly don’t want to miss any of them!  Any individual survey site may only offer a couple of surveys to you in a given month. The more companies you sign up with, the more surveys you'll be able to complete. Set up a rule for your email so that any survey emails that come in are flagged, make noise when they arrive, and appear at the top of your list. Everything you do to make them stand out will help. Once you have lots of surveys available, you can be more selective and pick the ones that seem like the best use of your time. If time isn’t an issue, on the other hand, you can do them all. You're under no obligation to complete any surveys if you don't want to.

Article in English: Suspend the egg in the center of a box or similar container using a pair of nylon stockings or panty hose. Stockings are very elastic and soft. As the container holding the egg strikes to ground, the stockings should give slightly, allowing the egg to come to a stop without that stop being quite so sudden. As a result, the force on the shell is lessened, making it less likely to crack.  Cut off one leg of the stockings. Place the egg inside this leg at the center of stocking. Tie the egg in place using rubber bands. Tightly pull the stocking leg diagonally through a box, extending it from one upper corner to one bottom corner. The egg should be positioned in the center of the box. Staple or otherwise hold the stocking in place. Note that your box can be made of nearly any material. It could be a cardboard or plastic box, or you could even construct a box frame out of metal clothes hangers. You can place the egg at the top of a cushioned container instead of placing it in the center as long as you have a heavy enough weight to control the direction the container falls in. The easiest way to do this is to use a stone and styrofoam cups.  Place one heavy rock in the bottom of one styrofoam cup. The rock must be heavier than egg. Place six more styrofoam cups inside the bottom cup, on top of the rock. Place the egg inside the top cup. Fit one more cup gently on top of the egg to secure the egg's position. Tape the cups together along the sides so that the container will not fall apart during the fall. If the rock is heavy enough, the container should fall rock-side down and egg-side up. The styrofoam cups should also help cushion the blow. If you can design a parachute for the container holding your egg, you can reduce the velocity at which the egg drops. Since the egg is falling at a slower speed, the force of the impact will be much less once it hits the ground. Less force means that your egg might have a chance at survival.  There are a few different parachutes you can try, but one of the easiest materials to...

Article in English: Sustained eye contact for 2-3 seconds is a sign that a person is attracted to you. A person who is being shy or flirtatious may look at your, look away and then look back several times. On the other hand, if the person looks away and does not look back or turns their head or body away from you, this is a sign they are not interested in you.  Some women may tuck their chin down then look up at you and bat their eyes quickly.  A man may be more likely to raise his eyebrows briefly to show he’s interested. Signs of availability include smiling, uncrossed arms and legs, and looking up or straight ahead.Unavailable or defensive postures include folding their arms across their chests, crossing their legs tightly, and looking down at their feet or even a cell phone.  How a woman holds her purse is a great indication of availability. If she is holding her purse in front of her body or clutching it tightly against her side, she may subconsciously be trying to “hide” from you or place an obstacle between you and her. Holding her purse at her side or pushed towards her back are good signs that she’s open to you. If you are in a busy, crowded area, she may just be clutching her purse because she is afraid of getting it stolen or being pickpocketed, so pay attention to other signs of attraction as well. A woman who is wearing a skirt may keep her legs crossed out of propriety while she is sitting and still be open to you. Turning her torso towards you is a good indication that she is open to being approached. She may also change her position from crossing her legs at the knees to crossing them at the ankles, which is another indication she may be attracted to you. A man may stand with his hands on his hips or, if sitting, spread his legs further apart to widen his stance. Both of these gestures are indications he is attracted to you. A person who is attracted to you may start running their fingers through their hair. A woman with longer hair may flip her hair off her shoulder to expose her neck.  A man may either smooth...

Article in English: Swallowing flexes the muscles which control your eustachian tubes, which can cause your tubes to open. You’ll likely hear a popping sound once they open back up.  Sucking on a piece of candy can help you make yourself swallow.  If you’re flying with a baby, give them a pacifier or bottle to help them swallow. Similar to swallowing, yawning flexes the muscles that control your eustachian tubes. This causes them to “pop” open. Yawning is more effective than swallowing, but some people may find it a little more difficult to induce. If you’re experiencing clogged ears due to airplane ear, yawn during your ascent and descent. Gum also works your muscles to help open your eustachian tubes. Chew the gum until you hear your ears “pop.” Take a deep breath. Keeping your mouth closed, pinch your nostrils so that they’re almost closed. Then, slowly exhale through your nose. Listen for a popping sound, which means you’ve been successful.  This technique doesn’t work for everyone. After you’ve tried it once or twice and failed, it’s best to try something else. When flying, do this during ascent and descent to avoid congested ears. You can use a neti pot to irrigate your sinus passages, which can relieve your sinus symptoms, including congestion. Fill your neti pot with a sterile solution or distilled water. Tilt your head at a 45 degree angle, then place the tip of the pot against your top nostril. Slowly pour the solution through your nostril, allowing it to come out through the bottom nostril.  Blow your nose, then repeat for the other nostril. The neti pot can thin out mucus and flush it away, along with irritants that may be caught in your nasal passages. Carefully follow all of the instructions that come with your individual neti pot so that you do not accidentally inhale the water. Pour boiling water into a large bowl, then cover your head with a towel. Lean over so that your face is over the bowl. Slowly breathe through your nose, which will allow the steam to thin out and loosen your mucus. If any mucus...

Article in English: Swamp coolers are rated by how much air the cooler can move, and is measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). Determine the area of the space you want to cool. Multiply this figure by the height of your ceilings. Divide that number by 2 (120 for European measurements). The result is the CFM rating for the evaporative cooler you need. For example: If you have a 1,500 square foot home with 8 foot (2.4 m) ceilings:  1,500 square feet x 8 feet (2.4 m). ceilings = 12,000 ÷ 2 = 6,000 CFM. You need a unit rated at 6,000 CFM or higher.   Example 2, in CMS (cubic meters per second): If you have a 140m2 home with 3m ceilings:  140m2 x 3m ceiling = 420 ÷ 120 = 3.5 centimeters (1.4 in). You need a unit rated at 3.5 centimeters (1.4 in) or higher.

Article in English: Swamp coolers work best when the humidity outside is relatively low, making the dew point low. You can check the dew point on most weather apps and weather websites.  The dew point is the temperature at which the water in the air is evaporating and condensing at the same rate. You want a lower dew point because swamp coolers work by evaporating water in the air to cool the room down. The lower the dew point, the lower you can cool. Typically, you can cool down the air to 20 degrees above the dew point temperature without your home getting too humid.  You can also use a dew point calculator to calculate the dew point, such as this one: http://www.dpcalc.org/. You need to know the temperature and humidity. For swamp coolers to work, you need to let air out at the same rate that the swamp cooler is blowing air in. That way, humidity won't build up in your house, making it seem warmer than it actually is. Though opening windows seems counter-intuitive, it actually helps your swamp cooler work better.  You'll need 1 to 2 square feet (0.093 to 0.186 m2) of open window space per 1,000 cfm, which is the unit's cooling capacity. You don't want to open them too far because that lets in hot air.  The other option for ventilation is installing grills to the attic, if your attic has ventilation. To help direct the cool air where you want it, only open windows where you want the air to be cooler, as that will pull the cold air that direction. Keep the windows closed in areas you don't want to cool down. If the weather is nice outside but your house is a little warm, you can use most swamp coolers as a house-wide fan. Pick the vent-only option to cool down your house with outside air. Generally, swamp coolers have more than one speed. The higher speed will keep your home cooler, but the lower speed is more energy efficient. Pick the one that meets your needs.

Article in English: Swap Magic 3.6 comes with 2 different discs: a CD and a DVD. If the game you want to play is burned onto a CD, insert the Swap Magic CD. If your game is burned on a DVD, insert the Swap Magic DVD. Once the PS2 loads the Swap Magic disc, the words “Insert disc” will appear on the television screen. With the arm facing right, insert the Slide Card under the tray on the left side of the drive tray. There should be a 2 centimeter gap between the Slide Card and the left edge of the tray. Once the Slide Card is inserted, grip the DVD tray firmly and slide the Slide Card  to the right. The tray will eject. Remove the Swap Magic disc from the tray. When the game is inserted, gently push the tray back into the PS2. The next few motions are slightly different than the removal of the Swap Magic disc:  Slide the Slide Card to the right once more, but this time, when the tray ejects slightly, release some of the pressure on the Slide Card, then continue sliding it to the right. This slight break in the sliding motion will allow the Slide Card to move around the locking mechanism to ‘catch” properly. Slide the Slide Card back to the left, as far left as it will go. This will close the tray. You can remove the Slider Tool once the tray has closed. This will start the game. You should be able play any copied game.

Article in English: Swap Magic 3.6 is software that allows you to play copied PlayStation 2 (PS2) games on a regular PS2 or a Slimline without having to install a modchip.  Swap Magic is commonly found at independent gaming or computer repair shops.  You can also purchase it online, but make sure you buy it from a reputable place, such as Amazon.  You’ll need to buy CD/DVD copies of the software, as burning your own copy will not work. Any site that demands payment for a download of Swap Magic is likely a scam. Only buy software from sites you trust. Swap Magic 3.8 also allows you to play games that are not rated for your country. Make sure you know the laws before playing games that aren’t designed for use in your area. Swap Magic removes the need for modchips by working in tandem with a Slide Card. The Slide Card, a small plastic device, is designed to open your PS2 while a disc is spinning so you can swap out games. Swap Magic 3.6 and up almost always comes with a Slide Card (and Slide Cards are universally compatible), however, if you find a copy that doesn’t include one, you can almost always order one from the same place you found Swap Magic. You’ll need a small Phillips-head screwdriver, a small flathead screwdriver, and a well-lit flat surface on which to work. You’ll only need to remove the front cover of the PS2’s DVD drive, which doesn’t involve taking the whole machine apart.

Article in English: Swearing is used in a lot of different contexts - you might swear when you are angry or frustrated, when you are trying to emphasize a point or when you are trying to be funny. Swearing is an unpleasant habit for a variety of reasons. It gives the impression of stupidity or a lack of education, even if this is not the case. It can be intimidating or viewed as a form of bullying if directed at another person. It can also be extremely offensive or off-putting to listeners, thus limiting your job prospects or ruining your potential for romantic engagements.  Your swearing habit may have developed as a child, if you were exposed to bad language in your family home. Or it might have started as a teenager, when you used curse words to look cool in front of your friends. Whatever the reason, there's no point in looking back and blaming people. The most important thing is that you recognize that you have a problem and commit to working through it. . Positive thinking is essential to giving up swearing. This is because people are generally much more inclined to swear when they are complaining about something, in a bad mood or just being negative in general. By thinking positively, you are removing the need to swear altogether. Admittedly, learning how to think positively can be difficult. If you find yourself leaning towards negative thoughts or emotions; just stop, take a deep breath, and ask yourself "does it really matter?"  For example, ask yourself "does it really matter if I'm a few minutes late for my meeting?" or "does it really matter if I can't find the remote control and have to switch the channels on the television set instead?" Putting a situation into the right perspective can help you to calm down and overcome negative emotions. In addition, you will need to think positively about your ability to stop swearing. If you have a negative outlook and have doubts about your ability to succeed, you are setting yourself up for failure from the get-go. Remind yourself that if people can give up smoking or lose...

Article in English: Sweat itself does not smell; body odor is caused when bacteria on your skin breaks your sweat down into acids.  While bacteria are a normal part of your body's make-up, you can eliminate excess bacteria — and, most importantly, the acids they produce — by washing daily.  Pay special attention to cleansing hairy areas of the body.  Humans have two types of sweat glands.  Eccrine glands are spread across your skin and regulate your body temperature by cooling your skin with sweat when you get hot.  The sweat produced by this gland is typically less smelly.  Apocrine glands, on the other hand, are concentrated in hairy areas of your body such as armpits and your genital region.  The sweat from these glands contains high levels of protein.  Your skin bacteria love protein, so this type of sweat quickly becomes very stinky!  Use antibacterial soap on your armpits.  Again, some bacteria are good — but too many can pose a problem, especially in odor-prone areas like your armpits. Hair traps sweat and odor, providing ideal conditions for smell-producing bacteria to multiply. At minimum, you should change into fresh clothes daily.  Changing more than once a day is a good idea if you perform physical labor that causes you to sweat or if you exercise. Avoid tight, restrictive clothing and man-made fibers such as nylon.  These types of clothing restrict the ability of your skin to "breathe," increasing your volume of sweat. Socks should be thick, soft, and made of natural fibers, or sports socks designed to absorb moisture.  Shoes should be made of leather, canvas, or mesh rather than synthetic materials.  Change your socks at least twice a day if you are prone to sweaty feet. Carry a spare pair of socks with you so you can change them whenever you need to. Use an antiperspirant made for feet to reduce sweating. Purchase a few pairs of shoes so you can let each pair dry out after wearing them. Sprinkle a shoe powder in them to absorb odors after each use and thoroughly clean them on a regular basis. Some products work to...

Article in English: Sweep a dry dust mop across the surface of the floor every few days to remove everyday dirt.  Even though laminate flooring is fairly scratch-resistant, excess dirt, hair, and debris can cause scratches to develop if allowed to build up over time. Regular sweeping prevents such scratches from forming. Instead of using a dry dust mop, you could also use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment. Do not use a standard floor brush. The stiff, straw-like bristles on the brush could damage the surface. Sweep in the direction that the laminate floor tiles were laid. Doing so allows you to pick up any debris that falls in between the grooves of the laminate flooring pieces.

Article in English: Sweep the area to be cleaned and treated free from dirt and debris, and make sure the surface is dry before application. Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding how much to use, and spread it out over the stain. Soften the edge between the stain and the clean part of your driveway, so you don't have a glaring clean spot. Follow the manufacturer's direction to determine how long you let the product sit on the stain. Some products require rinsing, some just rinse away with rain and time. Use whichever method your product calls for. Stubborn stains may require additional applications of product, or even a different solution entirely.

Article in English: Sweep the textured porcelain tiles in two directions. This will better remove any dirt or debris in the texture of the tiles. Start by brushing in the direction or texture of the tile. Then, sweep diagonally across the tile to remove any dirt or debris. Once the floor has been swept, you can saturate it by mopping the floor with a mild cleaning solution. Combine the cleaning solution with hot water. Mop the floor and then allow the cleaning solution to sit on the floor for five to ten minutes. Textured porcelain requires more maintenance than other types of porcelain and you will need to clean it more frequently to keep it looking good. To maintain the textured tiles, you should try to mop and scrub the floor daily, especially if it is walked on constantly throughout the day. Once the cleaning solution has been on the floor for ten minutes, you can use a soft nylon brush to scrub at any dark spots or stains on the floor. You can also use an old toothbrush to scrub the floor. Use the same two direction method that you used for sweeping the floor. Start by scrubbing the floor following the direction of the textured tile. Then, scrub in the opposite direction of the texture on the tile. Do not let the cleaning solution sit on the floor and dry, as it can damage the floor. Make sure you rinse off the cleaning solution with clean, clear water.  You can then dry the floor with a clean microfiber cloth. Check that there are no water spots or puddles on the floor. You can also open windows in the room and turn on a fan to dry the floor more quickly.

Article in English: Sweep up any debris – leaves, twigs, etc – and move any outdoor furniture out of the way. Make sure that pets and kids can’t get into the area, particularly if you’re going to use bleach. Make sure to protect nearby plants. Hose them down to give them a protective covering of water (it will help any bleach or vinegar slide right off) or cover them with light plastic. You can also create barriers between the area you’re cleaning and any grass by laying down rolled up towels or sheets at the edge of the grass. Using your garden hose or buckets of water, rinse down the area to be cleaned. You can also use a bucket of water and a mop if you’re worried about the water draining properly. Depending on the type of cleaner you’re using, you’ll want to spray, pour, or spread your cleaners over the area to be cleaned.  Use gloves and a protective face mask for this step, especially if you’re using bleach. You can let any of the mixtures soak for a few minutes or up to half an hour if you have particularly dark stains. If the stain persists after scrubbing, you may need to apply a second coating of cleaner. Wait 15 minutes before scrubbing again, and then hose it off. Once your cleaner has had time to soak, scrub at the stains with a short scrub brush. This will loosen up any stubborn dirt or grime that isn’t already lifted by the cleaner. Once you’re done scrubbing, use a hose, spray bottle, or bucket of water to rinse the area you cleaned. This might take a few rounds, depending on the size of the stains you cleaned and how much cleanser you had to use.  You can let the area dry naturally, particularly if you’re cleaning on a hot day. Make sure that you hose off any plants or planting beds that are around the concrete patio and may have been sprayed with cleaner.

Article in English: Sweep up berries that fell from trees. Make sure that any picnic tables and chairs (or anything else outside) are completely free of food scraps and crumbs. Clean the area completely. Double check the area after you finish. Raccoons are omnivores, so they won't pass up any dog- or cat food scraps left outdoors. You can avoid this problem entirely by feeding your companion animals indoors. If you must feed Fido or Tiger outside, clean up every last scrap of wet or dry food when meal time is over. If you have a doggie door or cat flap, keep food bowls far away from these access points. Even a bird feeder with sunflower seeds might be tempting to a raccoon. Hang your bird feeder on a pole about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) in diameter. Raccoons can't climb such skinny poles. Secure the pole firmly so that it can't be knocked over. Store any bird seed in metal trash cans or an indoor locations that raccoons can't access. If this isn't an option, lock up your bird feeder in the garage or tool shed just before sundown.

Article in English: Sweet Shrub can easily be grown from seeds. Simply sow the seeds in springtime (March or April), preferably in a shady area of the garden in rich, well-drained, loamy soil.  Some gardeners are unlucky enough to chance upon an unscented variety when growing from seed. To prevent this, you can try planting more seeds than you need plants and removing any that emerge unscented when the plants eventually flower.     It will take two or three years for a plant grown from seed to flower. Flowers first appear in mid-March and continue into May.    Your Sweet Shrub will flower faster if you grow it from plant cuttings instead of from seeds. Take the cuttings from a scented bush and plant them in July.  Plant the cuttings in the same conditions as you would the seeds and water until well-established.     Growing Sweet Shrub from cuttings will eliminate the chance of you growing an unscented variety of the shrub. If you are buying a nursery plant, try to buy it while it is blooming to get an idea of the fragrance. Plant in loamy soil, in shade conditions.  Alternately you can buy a named cultivar that is known for having a good fragrance. 'Michael Lindsey' is known for having a pleasant fragrance as well as attractive shiny leaves.     Avoid taking plants from the wild as these are endangered in some areas.

Article in English: Sweet Shrub isn't fussy about the kind of soil it grows in, but it will do best in a moist, rich soil with plenty of room for growth.  Avoid boggy locations or anywhere puddles tend to linger after rainfall. The plant won’t mind a clay soil.     Sweet shrub also has a slight preference for neutral or slightly acid soil.    Sweet Shrub will grow in both sun and shade but usually favors shady locations. Sweet Shrub plants grown in full sun will grow more slowly and won’t reach the same height as shade-grown plants. In nature the plant would grow in woody areas, so it thrives best in dappled shade. If you have a patch of trees in your yard that offer partial shade, consider planting Sweet Shrub underneath.

Article in English: Sweet almond oil, coconut oil, and jojoba oil are good options that shouldn’t irritate your partner’s skin. Use 1⁄2 tablespoon (7.4 mL) to start and add more to your hands when they get dry. You must rub it between your hands to warm it up before you begin. Add a few drops of essential oils to the carrier oil or cream to give it a pleasing scent. Lavender, peppermint, bergamot, and sandalwood are great options. Have your partner lay on their stomach so you can work on their shoulders and back first. Remember, your goal isn’t to give your partner a deep-tissue massage or work out their sore muscles. It’s to awaken their body and gently touch them all over.  Check in with your partner to see if the amount of pressure you’re using is good. They may want a deeper massage or prefer less pressure. Let your hands glide over their skin. Count slowly in your head to 20 for each section that you massage, like their neck, left shoulder, right shoulder, the middle of the back, etc. Stand or sit so that you and your partner are facing the same direction. Put your hands flat on their lower back, near their hips, and push forward toward the middle of their back. Count to 20 as you massage this area, but feel free to do it for longer if your partner likes it. If your partner is comfortable with it, you could also give them a gentle butt massage. Use your elbow to gently put pressure on your partner’s butt, starting at the top and working your way down to the bottom. Repeat on the opposite side. Part of the romantic massage is making your partner feel very relaxed but also aware of their body. Gently rub your hands up and down their arms and longs with long, firm movements. Have them start on their stomach as you massage the backs of their legs, then ask them to flip over to their back so you can massage their arms and the fronts of their legs. Remember to count to 20 for each part of the body. The upper left arm, upper right arm, lower left arm, lower right arm, and so on should each get their allotment of time. Add more...

Article in English: Sweet apples, plums, pears and other fruits come from trees that have been grafted so that they produce the best-tasting fruit. Although fruit trees can be planted from seed, the resulting trees won't necessarily produce fruit that's good to eat. In order to make sure the tree you grow will produce fruit you'll want to eat, the best idea is to buy a grafted fruit tree, which is a very young tree that has been grafted onto a root stock to improve its growth.  Grafted trees are available as either bare-root trees or potted trees. Bare-root trees are dug up and shipped while they are dormant. You should plant them as soon as you receive them. Potted trees are grown in a pot. They should also be planted while dormant. Potted trees will have more fine roots than bare-root trees do. Buying a grafted tree from a local nursery is your best bet, since it will stock trees that do well in your particular region. Fruit trees generally need at least six hours of full sunlight in order to grow strong and produce healthy fruit. Look for a spot in the yard where the fruit tree won't be shaded by your home or other taller trees. You should also look for a spot without a lot of other foliage nearby, so the tree won't have to compete with other plants for nutrients and water. You should also select the location of your fruit tree by imagining it at full size. Take into account its width and understand that the roots of your tree will reach out as far as the length of the branches. This means that you don't want it too close to a building or driveway. Aside from full sun, proper soil drainage is the other essential condition for thriving fruit trees. The soil must not retain a lot of water, or it will cause the fruit trees' roots to rot in the ground. Check the soil drainage by digging a hole 1 foot (0.3 m) deep and filling it with water. If the water drains quickly, the area should be fine for planting a fruit tree. If the water stands in the hole, choose another part of the yard. If the soil in your yard is clay-heavy, which...

Article in English: Sweet cravings are triggered because you are hungry. Often these cravings are emotionally triggered.  Think about the last time you started craving sweets. What were you feeling?  Maybe bored, stressed, lonely, celebratory, or worried? It is helpful to understand any emotional triggers in order to create the best plan to address those sweet cravings.  To find your emotional triggers, track when you crave sweets. Every time you crave or eat a sweet, write down what you are feeling at that time in a journal. Make sure you pinpoint each emotion you are feeling. For example, you crave a sweet right after you get a bad grade on an exam. Your sweet cravings may be the result of sadness or disappointment. Sweet cravings can also be induced by stress. Stress releases a chemical called cortisol, which is the stress hormone. Cortisol is linked with a laundry list of negative impacts on the body from weight gain to lowering the immune system. Stress is part of our fight or flight response. The way that you often deal with stress is to eat sweets since it calms this response. If you are feeling stressed, try to avoid eating sweets. Find another outlet, such as working out or deep breathing. When you are tired, you seek a quick and easy energy boost.  Sugar provides a temporary boost, but it doesn't last long. Part the side effects of sugar is your energy will actually be lower afterward because it isn't a sustainable energy boost. Sugar is one of the fastest substances your body can turn into fuel or energy. However, the problem remains that it is just a quick and short boost of energy, often leading to a feeling down after the boost is over. For women, sweet cravings can be triggered by premenstrual syndrome, due to a decrease in endorphin production. Eating sugar increases the feel-good chemicals in the brain. Another positive side effect of eating sugar includes a release of the chemical in the body that acts as a pain reliever. Any hormonal issues can create cravings since hormones are an integral part of the...

Article in English: Sweet peas are usually started from seed. You may either plant them in seed trays indoors and later transplanting them to the garden bed, or start them outside. Seeds are available for purchase at any garden store. For rarer varieties, check online retailers.   "Old-fashioned" sweet peas will produce very fragrant flowers. Spencer varieties have bright colors, but less fragrance. You'll find them in pink, purple, blue, white and red. Sweet peas can be grown in any growing zone, but it's important to know the right time to get them ready. They must be planted as early as possible to form a strong root system and survive the summer. Therefore, starting seeds early in the year is usually your best bet.  If you live in a temperate area where the ground does not freeze in the winter (USDA zones 8-10), you can plant your seeds directly in the ground as early as November, though waiting until January or February is also fine. Be sure to water them over the winter, and they'll emerge in spring. If you live in an area where the winters are cold, starting seeds indoors is your best bet. That way, the seedlings will be ready to plant as soon as the first frost has passed. If you wait too long to plant your seeds, they won't have time to take hold in the soil before the summer weather gets hot. Another option is to sow seeds directly in the ground in late winter, and then allow them to come up when they are ready. Sweet pea seeds have the best chance of germinating if you help penetrate the seed shell before planting. You can do this by either soaking them in a pan of water overnight, or using a tiny knife or nail clipper to nick the surface of each seed. If you soak your seeds, only plant those that have swelled during the overnight soaking. Discard those that haven't changed in size. About 5 weeks before the last frost (usually mid-February or so), prepare small seed trays or peat containers with a seed starting mixture. Plant the seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep and 3 inches (7.6 cm) apart, or in separate compartments....

Article in English: Sweet peas must be kept nice and wet throughout the summer. Water them lightly every day it does not rain. Check the soil surrounding the sweet pea stems often to make sure it doesn't dry out. Sweet peas are quite prolific, and a monthly application of mild fertilizer will keep them blooming for many weeks. It's not mandatory, but it's helpful if you want to make the most of your flowers. Use compost, manure or a high-potassium commercial fertilizer application. Cutting the flowers promotes new growth, so don't hesitate to bring in some fresh blossoms or make a bouquet for a friend. Wait until the flowers have reached their fragrant and colorful peaks before cutting. You should also remove faded blossoms, which sap energy from the plant and prevent more flowers from growing. These annuals won't come back on their own next year, but you can enjoy them again if you save the seed pods and plant them again in the winter or spring, depending on where you live. This will encourage new growth in the form of more side-shoots and flowers. You can just use your fingernails to pinch off the shoots.

Article in English: Sweet peas of all varieties thrive in sunny areas, making them a great choice for exposed sections of fence and walls. In the heat of summer, sweet peas will do fine in partial shade, but it's better to find someplace sunny to be on the safe side. Since sweet peas love to climb, find a spot where they can grow toward the sky. They produce small tendrils that will latch onto any type of pole you plant them near.  Sweet peas make an excellent natural decoration for fences. If you have a wooden or chain link fence you want to brighten up, plant sweet peas there. Sweet peas are often grown on trellises or archways. This is another lovely choice, and will lend your garden a country cottage feel. If you don't have a suitable place for sweet peas, erect a few bamboo posts in your garden and plant sweet peas there. It'll lend some height and interest to your garden. You could also create a tower of stakes in a pot or a small arbor. You can plant sweet peas among other plants, like shrubs or vegetables. Sweet peas grow best in rich soil that drains well. Prepare the soil for planting by tilling it to a depth of 6 inches (15.2 cm) and working in some compost or manure. This is especially important if your soil is clay heavy; you'll need to work in extra compost to make sure it drains well enough for sweet peas' roots.  To determine whether the soil drains well enough, observe it after a heavy rain. If water collects and puddles and takes time to drain, the soil there doesn't drain well. If the water soaks in right away, it should be fine for your seedlings. Using a raised bed is a good option if you feel your soil is too clay heavy to support seedlings. This will come in handy for other plants you want to grow as well. Whether you started your seeds inside and are planting seedlings, or you want to plant your seeds directly in your garden bed, early spring is the right time to do it. If you live in a warm area where the ground never freezes, you can plant in January or February. If you live in an area where the ground...

Article in English: Sweet plantains give a little when you press them. Their skins are mottled yellow and brown. If you find green plantains, give them several days to ripe before you make your sweet dessert dish. Use a paring knife to chop the ends off the plantains. Use your fingers to pull back the peel and remove it from the fruit inside. Discard the peel. Lay the plantains on a cutting board and slice them into 1/2-inch pieces. If you like thicker plantains, slice them into 1-inch pieces. For thin, crispy plantains, slice them into 1/4-inch pieces. Pour the oil into a stockpot or frying pan so that it rises up the sides 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm). Heat the oil until a deep frying thermometer reads 340 degrees. For a less oil-heavy dish, add just a bit of oil to a frying pan and heat it until it sizzles when you add a bit of plantain to the pan. Lay them in the hot oil and fry them until they're brown and crispy on one side, which should take about 2 minutes. Flip them over and fry them on the other side until both sides are golden brown. The longer they fry, the sweeter they'll taste. Remove them from the hot oil and place them on a paper-towel-lined plate to drain completely. Sprinkle them with sugar and cinnamon to taste. For a truly delectable dish, make a fresh batch of  whipped cream to top the fried sweet plantains.

Article in English: Sweet potato slips need a bit more space than some other garden vegetables, so dig your holes 12–24 inches (30.5–61.0 cm) apart each. They need be only as deep as the root ball on the bottom of the slips and about ½ an inch up the base of the plant. Place each small slip in your pre-dug holes and cover the stems with soil about ½ of an inch up the base. The leafy part of the potato plant will begin to sprawl in vines outwards while the roots will produce the tubers between 6–12 inches (15.2–30.5 cm) deep in the soil. Protect your sweet potatoes from cold weather by adding your chosen mulch to the top. This will also help to block out weeds and prevent too much vine growth, which steal energy from tuber growth. At first planting the sweet potatoes will require a lot of water. Over time, you should reduce the amount that you water them until they receive moisture only about once a week. Begin watering daily, knocking off days from your watering schedule as each week progresses. Sweet potatoes have a relatively long fruiting period, becoming ripe and ready to harvest in the early fall (hence their association with Thanksgiving). Continue watering on a weekly basis, and weeding the beds if necessary to keep the plants healthy. After about 120 days after planting, the sweet potatoes should have reached full maturity. When possible, wait until the last possible time (the last warm weather before a frost) to harvest the sweet potatoes, as this will result in larger and more tasteful tubers. One of the most important steps, sweet potatoes must be cured after harvest. This will help them to develop their flavor (they won’t have much immediately after being dug up) and to grow a tougher skin - literally. Place the sweet potatoes in an area with a temperature of 85–95 °F (29–35 °C) with 80-90% humidity for 5-10 days. After this, they should be ready to eat! Consider using a small space heater and a humidifier in a large closet or small room to cure the potatoes. One of the best things about these lovely tubers is that...

Article in English: Sweetening your blackberries before freezing them helps keep the berries' natural color and texture intact through the freezing process. It also makes the berries last longer in the freezer. Freezing sweetened berries requires the same washing process as for unsweetened berries: gently rinse and drain the berries, then allow to air dry or gently pat with a soft towel to remove any moisture.  As above, you'll also want to remove any unripe or overripe berries before proceeding, as well as any leaf matter or debris. Next, add your berries to a large mixing bowl and add about 1/2 to 3/4 cups sugar for every quart of berries (as a reminder, one quart is equal to four cups). Mix the berries and sugar thoroughly, but very gently — your goal is to coat the berries with sugar, not to mash them into a jam or paste. The sugar should combine with the natural moisture of the berries (along with the juice of any berries that do break) to form a syrupy mixture that should cover the berries. Next, pour the berries into seal-able, airtight plastic containers (like, for instance, Tupperware. Try to fill the containers nearly to their tops — leaving about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of head space or less is ideal. The less air remaining in the container, the better, but resist the urge to force the berries into a container that's too small for them, as this can crush the berries.   You can also use plastic freezer bags as described above, though, with sweetened berries, this can become somewhat messy. There's no need to freeze sweetened blackberries separately, since the sugar helps protect their appearance and texture from the effects of freezing. However, if you especially want separately-frozen berries, you can still use the baking sheet method described above without harming the berries. Sweetened blackberries should last for a minimum of nine months, though some sources say that they can last up to a full year. The sweetened berries can be used like unsweetened berries in a wide variety of baking recipes or enjoyed on their own....

Article in English: Swelling from a tumor or infection can distort the shape and size of the breast tissue. This change often occurs on only one breast, but may appear to be on both sides. If you are not currently breastfeeding, there should be no discharge coming from the nipple. If there is discharge, especially without squeezing the nipple or breast tissue, seek medical attention for further testing. In particular, look for swelling around the breast, collarbone or armpit. There are aggressive and invasive types of breast cancer that may cause swelling in these areas before you can feel a lump in the breast tissue. Tumors or growths in the breast near the surface of the skin or nipple can cause a change in shape of the tissue. In some instances, the nipple will become inverted or you may notice a dimpling in the skin over the breast tissue. Inflammatory breast cancer, though rare, is a particularly invasive and aggressive type of cancer. It may present with symptoms similar to an infection in the breast, such a tissue that is warm, itching or red. If antibiotics do not quickly resolve the issue you should seek the care of a breast surgeon immediately. If you experience pain in your breast tissue or at the nipple area which does not resolve quickly you should seek medical attention. Breast tissue is not normally painful and pain may indicate an infection, growth, or lump or tumor. However, breast pain is not usually a sign of cancer. Keep in mind that if you are still menstruating or pregnant, you may experience temporary breast soreness, discomfort, tenderness as a result of hormone fluctuations. However, if you feel pain and it is persistent and unrelated to your menstrual cycle, you should still consult your doctor. Remember, exhibiting these signs doesn’t necessarily mean you have breast cancer. They’re all good reasons to see a doctor, though, for further investigation. Such symptoms include:  Weight loss. Bone pain. Shortness of breath. Ulceration of the breast, meaning the existence of sores that may be red, itchy,...

Article in English: Swelling in the skin on and around your eyes can make them look smaller. Try these steps to reduce puffiness:  Get plenty of sleep. Wash your face with cool water. Place cold, used teabags over your eyes. The tannins in the tea act as an astringent, tightening the skin. Reduce your salt intake. Too much salt leads to water retention, which leads to eye puffiness. Exercise to increase circulation, which in turn reduces water retention.

Article in English: Swim bladder disorder occurs when a fish's swim bladder, which normally inflates and helps the fish stay properly afloat, becomes compromised. No matter what's causing the problem, the symptoms are usually the same. When you see your fish belly-up, don't assume it's dead; if it's still breathing, it probably has swim bladder disorder. Here are symptoms to look for:  The fish keeps floating to the top, upside-down The fish keeps sinking to the bottom of the tank The fish swims with its tail higher than its head (note: this is normal for head standing fish species) The fish has a swollen belly Goldfish, especially fancy goldfish, and betta fish are most commonly affected by swim bladder disorder. These types of fish have round, short bodies, which causes their organs to become compressed. The fish's internal organs can press against the swim bladder and make it difficult for it to function properly.  If you have a fancy goldfish or a betta fish, you'll need to monitor it carefully for signs of swim bladder disorder. Left untreated it can lead to death. Natural goldfish varieties with longer bodies are less prone to getting swim bladder disorder, since their organs are not packed tightly together. When a fish's tiny organs become enlarged, they can press against the swim bladder and cause it to malfunction. The stomach, intestines and liver are especially prone to becoming enlarged due to the fish's eating habits. Any of the following can cause swim bladder disorder:  Gulping too much air while eating, causing the stomach to become enlarged Eating low quality or air-filled food, causing constipation in the intestine Eating too much, causing fatty deposits to enlarge the liver The development of cysts in the kidney, causing it to become enlarged Deformity of an internal organ Sometimes swim bladder disorder is a symptom of infection, and you won't be able to solve that by changing your fish's eating habits. If you believe that your fish has an infection, it's important to treat that separately to help your fish...

Article in English: Swim shampoos, or chlorine removal shampoos, are formulated specifically to help remove chlorine and any resulting green tint. Wash your hair thoroughly with a swim shampoo as soon as possible after you get out of the pool. Be sure to work the shampoo into a lather and let it sit for a minute before rinsing it completely.  If you have color-treated hair, you can always substitute a swim shampoo for a color-safe clarifying shampoo. These shampoos are available at most pharmacies, beauty and haircare stores, and online retailers. Using a conditioner after shampoo will help you work out any tangles and keep your hair smooth. Some athletics stores and swim stores sell chlorine removal sprays. These are used in the shower after you rinse your hair, but before you shampoo. Hold the bottle about half an arm’s length from your head, and mist all your hair with the spray. Then, use your regular shampoo to rinse the spray away.  These sprays work by neutralizing the chlorine in your hair to prevent damage and irritation. Most chlorine-removal sprays are formulated to work on both hair and skin, so you can use it to remove chlorine irritation and smell on your skin, too. Some companies that make swim shampoos also make specialty treatments. These often come as packets of a powder-like treatment that you massage into your hair in the shower. Allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes before washing it out. These treatments can be used instead of or in addition to other chlorine-removal products.

Article in English: Swimmers often focus on swimming as fast as possible, not swimming with the least amount of drag. Drag is the resistance your body has against the water. Remember that it takes true skill, not just force, to bring down that drag. There are many ways to decrease your drag, such as improving your balance or swimming taller. This is a great way to decrease your drag. To stay balanced, maintain a position that is as horizontal as it can possibly be as you move through the water. This will make it so that the least amount of water gets in your path, slowing you down. This is especially important for the freestyle stroke, where you have to keep yourself from lifting your head too much, which disrupts your balance, so you have to kick harder to counterbalance. This is a bit different when it comes to the breaststroke and butterfly stroke, because your body undulates instead of being perfectly balanced during the strokes. Try to make yourself as tall as possible when you're in the water. The taller or longer you are, the better and faster you can swim. For example, to swim taller during the free stroke, you have to enter your recovering arm into the water early, once it passes over your head; you should extend your recovering arm forward as far is it will go before you begin the down sweep and catch. Think about it: if your body is all scrunched up instead of stretched nice and tall, it'll be more difficult to move through the water. When you kick, you shouldn't break the surface of the water or move your legs too low below the body line—it all goes back to maintaining balance. If you do this, you'll be off balance, creating more drag. This does not mean you should focus more on strength than skill. Remember that about 10% of your speed comes from your legs, while the rest comes from your arms, so you should focus on pulling hard and making sure your legs don't slow you down, but instead help propel you forward faster. Don't be afraid to roll from side to side a bit more as you use each arm stroke. This will let you...

Article in English: Swishing a simple saline solution has some antibacterial properties and may help relieve tongue bumps. It can also help decrease any inflammation that may present with the condition.  Dissolve 1/2 a teaspoon of salt in an 8-oz glass of warm water to make your saline solution. Gargle a mouthful of the salt water for 30 seconds and then gently spit it out. Swish salt water solution after every meal to remove any debris in your teeth or on your tongue.  Repeat this for three to four times a day until tongue bumps disappear. Do not use saline solution designated for contact lenses as a mouth rinse. There is some evidence that drinking cool or cold liquids can help soothe tongue bumps and reduce any associated inflammation. You can drink cool or cold beverages as a normal part of your daily hydration routine or as necessary to help relieve your discomfort. To keep yourself hydrated, drink at least 9 cups of water a day if you are a woman and 13 cups if you are a man. Persons who are very active and pregnant women need up to 16 cups of water a day. Sucking on an ice cube, ice chips, or an ice pop may help provide additional relief from your bumps. The cold may numb pain and reduce any swelling.  As the ice melts, it can help you stay hydrated and minimize the risk of your tongue drying out, which may exacerbate discomfort from the bumps. You can place ice chips or ice cubes directly on the swollen bump surface of your tongue for an easy application of cold. Repeat icing as often as necessary. Some doctors may suggest consuming soothing foods such as yogurt. These can help relieve any pain or discomfort you may have.  Try and eat foods that are cooled to enhance soothing effects. Dairy products such as yogurt, ice cream, and milk may help alleviate your discomfort. Other foods like pudding or popsicles may also help.

Article in English: Swiss-German is similar to classic German, but there are many local dialectic twists that will make your greetings easier to understand. All the vowels in these words should be pronounced. If you see ue, üe or ie, for instance, you should pronounce the "u", the "e", and the "i" as distinct syllables. If you are writing, take note that all nouns in German are capitalized. Say "Grüetzi" to one person, or "Gruetzi mittenand" to two or more people. In most German-speaking areas, the word "Grüetzi" is equivalent to the English "Hi." Phonetically, this sounds like "Gryətsi" or "Groo-et-see". You can also try "Guten Tag", in the standard German, which is easier to pronounce and remember. Consider these other informal greetings:  Hoi/Salü/Sali: "Hi", more informal than Grüetzi. "Hoy", "Saloo", "Salee". Hoi zäme: "Hi" to more than one person. "Hoy zah-may". Ciao (the same as the Italian "Ciao", pronounced "chow") You will want to use more formal phrases when you are greeting business associates and people you do not know well. Most of these greetings relate to the time of day.  "Gueten Morgen!": "Good morning!" Pronounced "Goo-eh-ten more-gen" ("gen" pronounced with a hard "G"). In some areas, German-speakers use "guetä Morgä," with the shortcut "Morgä" or "Morge" (differs from canton to canton). This is usually used until about noon. In some areas of Germany, it is only said until 10 a.m.  "Guetä Tag!": "Good day!" Pronounced "Goo-eh-ta togg". This phrase is usually said between the hours of noon and 6 p.m.  "Gueten Abig.": "Good evening." Pronounced "Goo-eh-ten ah-beeg". This greeting is usually used after 6 p.m.

Article in English: Switch on the broiler setting of your oven and allow the heating element to warm up for 5 to 10 minutes.  Some broilers only have on and off settings, while others also have high and low settings. If yours is the latter, switch the broiler onto high. Place the upper oven rack roughly 6 inches (15 cm) away from the upper heating element of the oven. This upper heating element is the only portion that turns on when you use the broiler. Peel the husks back, revealing the entire ear of corn, but do not remove them. Instead, use scissors to cut the husks down to a length of roughly 4 inches (10 cm), then wrap the hanging husks in aluminum foil.  Pick away any hanging silks during this step, as well. Wrapping the husks with foil is a necessary step. If you don't do this, the husks will quickly burn under the intense heat of the broiler and may even catch on fire. If you don't wish to use the husks and stem as handles while serving the corn, you can remove them completely. Arrange the ears of corn in single layer on a baking sheet, then drizzle them with olive oil. If desired, you may also season the corn with salt and pepper.  You can cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil, if desired, but doing so is not necessary. Note that olive oil is a better choice than butter for this method since it has a higher smoking point and will be less likely to overheat in the broiler. Place the ears of corn under the preheated broiler. Watch the corn carefully, and rotate the ears each time the kernels on that side begin charring.  You'll need to rotate the after the first 3 to 5 minutes, then twice more every 3 to 5 minutes after that. When ready, the corn should be lightly and evenly charred, and tender throughout. Note that you can also remove the foil from around the husks during the last 2 minutes, if desired, so that they can char lightly without burning. Remove the corn from the oven and sprinkle it with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve it while it's still hot.

Article in English: Switch up your roles as you practice, and see if you have more success with one or the other. Maybe you’ll find that you’re better at receiving messages, and your friend is better at sending them. Keep in mind it’s helpful to practice with someone you trust, like a close friend or relative. Take five unique cards, such as playing cards or cards with symbols on them. With your partner in a separate location, pick a card at random. Relax and calm your mind, then focus your thoughts solely sending the card’s image to your friend. Have your partner calm their mind and try to sense your message. When they feel an image has come to mind, have them write down the card you sent, then check your results. Try drawing a shape or simple combination of shapes, like a circle inside a triangle. Focus your thoughts on the shape, and visualize the image traveling from your mind to your partner’s. When they sense that they’ve received the message, have them draw whatever shape has entered their mind. Alternatively, someone else could draw an image and show it to the sender, who would then try to transmit it to the receiver. Each time you try to communicate telepathically, write down the details of your attempt. Note who the sender and receiver were, what the transmitted image was, and whether or not you were successful. A journal might help you find ways of refining your abilities. Even if an attempt was unsuccessful, note any promising details. For instance, if the message was “apple” and your friend wrote down “red” or “fruit,” that’s a great sign!

Article in English: Switching to a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet can be a major change, and sticking to it can feel difficult if you only focus on what you can’t eat. However, your diet can also be a way of opening up to new and exciting possibilities. Trying new things helps ensure that you are eating a varied diet and getting all of the nutrients you need. Many cuisines are rich in options for lacto-ovo vegetarians. Dining out at a variety of restaurants can be a great way to try new foods and get ideas for dishes.  Asian cuisines (including Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Vietnamese) often have meatless options, based on vegetables and/or tofu. Some of these dishes are prepared using fish sauces, so ask if you are unsure. South Asian cuisines (Indian, Pakistani, Nepali, etc.) often offer meatless dishes based on lentils, rice, curried vegetables, yogurts, and other foods that are permissible in a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet. It is not too difficult to find meatless options in Mediterranean cuisines (Italian, Greek, Middle Eastern). Look for dishes incorporating falafel (chick peas balls), couscous, eggplant, tabbouleh, feta, and other foods. Many specific dishes and sauces are explicitly meatless, such as pasta primavera (with veggies) and pesto (marinara contains fish). Options for lacto-ovo vegetarians in Mexican cuisine include bean-based burritos, vegetable fajitas and nachos, cheese or bean enchiladas, quesadillas, tamales, rice dishes, huevos rancheros, guacamole, salsas, refried beans, and more. Ask if you want to make sure that any of these dishes are not made with lard or other animal products. If you have a recipe or dish that traditionally requires meat, there are ways to substitute it with lacto-ovo vegetarian approved options. Meat substitutes include:  Tempeh is made from fermented soybeans. It can be sliced or processed like meat to be fried, baked, roasted, etc.  Seitan is processed from wheat gluten. It has a mild flavor and a texture similar to meat. It can be used in strips, chunks, etc. in many recipes instead of...

Article in English: Switching your account from its standard status to "Private" means that anyone wishing to follow you will have to request to do so; you are the only person who can approve said request. This gives you greater control over who can access your Instagram.  Changing your account to "Private" also restricts user access to your comments and likes, with the sole exception being for public posts (wherein your name will appear next to other "likes", but your account will still be protected). You won't be able to change your account's viewing status from a computer. To do this, tap the person-shaped icon in the bottom right corner of your phone's screen. You can also do this on a tablet. Do this by tapping the gear icon (iOS) or the three dots (Android) in the top right corner of your screen. This is a series of tabs dedicated to account options; you'll find the "Private Account" option at the bottom of this group. It should from grey to blue, indicating that your account is now private!

Article in English: Symptoms of Effexor withdrawal may include dizziness, fatigue, agitation, anxiety, chills, nausea, headaches, irritability, twitches or shakes, hives, a clicking or buzzing sound in your head, sweating, feelings of unease, muscle pain, and insomnia. These can range from mild to severe. You may experience all of these symptoms or only a few. If you are in the throes of a withdrawal from Effexor, there are a few simple ways that you can cope. First, you should drink a lot of water. The more quickly you can flush toxins from your system, the sooner you can begin to feel better. If you are experiencing Effexor withdrawal, chances are you will not want to eat; however, allowing yourself to get too hungry is a drain on your immune system, and will not help you to bounce back. Instead, try to nibble on nutrient-dense food, like fruits, vegetables, or nuts.  Ask a friend to bring you a fruit smoothie made with strawberry, banana, almond milk, and coconut oil. Alternatively, eat a handful or trail mix or a couple pieces of beef jerky when you feel up to it. The best way to deal with an Effexor withdrawal is to sleep right through it. Do your best to clear your schedule and get as much sleep as you can. Even if you cannot fall asleep, simply taking it easy and getting some rest will enable your body to heal.  This should only be done if you are well-hydrated. Drink water before and after doing any intense sweating. Try to relax and take long, soothing breaths. This will help move oxygen through your bloodstream, lowering your heart rate and stabilizing your blood pressure. Deep breathing can reduce anxiety, panic, and even nausea. Deep breathing has also been shown to help with restlessness and headaches. Although the symptoms of an Effexor withdrawal may be uncomfortable or even painful, they won't last forever. In fact, most people report relief in as little as 24 hours (or 72 hours at the most). If detoxing from Effexor is your goal, you are on the right track. Your withdrawal symptoms will be gone in a few days or less.

This means that the digestive system changes for unknown reasons. But, these changes don't actually damage the digestive system. Conditions that usually happen with IBS include:  Mixed nerve transmissions between the brain and large intestine Problems with the way food is pushed through the digestive system (peristalsis) Depression, anxiety, and panic disorders Infections in the digestive system Bacterial overgrowths (like Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth [SIBO]) Changes in hormone levels Food sensitivities Since there's no diagnostic test, your doctor will do a physical exam. The doctor may order blood tests, stool tests, and imaging tests, depending on your specific situation. These tests can also rule out other health conditions. If your doctor believes you have IBS, you'll probably be advised about changes you need to make to your diet. Your doctor might prescribe medications (like muscle relaxants, anti-depressants, bulk-forming laxatives and anti-diarrheal medicines) to relieve symptoms. Track the foods you eat and make note of which foods seem to make your symptoms worse. Try to avoid eating these foods in the future. Most people with IBS find that one or more of these cause digestive problems:  Foods that are high in fat Foods that are artificially sweetened Foods that cause gas or bloating (cabbage, some beans) Some milk products Alcohol Caffeine

Article in English: Symptoms of a cold become noticeable one or two days after you have been in contact with the virus. If your symptoms last for longer than 14 days, they may be caused by allergies, or you may have a bacterial infection. If your temperature is anywhere between 37.2°C to 37.8°C or 99°F to 100°F, then you have a low grade fever. When your body starts fighting off an infection, such as a cold virus, it releases pyrogens, which make your body’s temperature rise. Many microorganisms, including some cold viruses, cannot live through these increased temperatures. Infections can cause you to feel both tired and achy. This is because when your body is fighting off an infection, your muscles can become inflamed. This inflammation can be interpreted in your brain as pain, leading to you feeling tired and uncomfortable. When your body is dealing with an infection, your normal eating habits may change. This is particularly true when you have a fever. If your body temperatures get increased, the enzyme in your taste buds stops working, which in turn makes you feel less hungry. When you have a cold, your tear ducts can become blocked and inflamed because of the infection. That means that your tears can build up in your eye, leading to excessively watery eyes. Your tear gland is also known as your lacrimal gland.

Article in English: Symptoms of a vitamin B deficiency include numbness in the hands, legs, or feet, balance problems, difficulty thinking, weakness, and yellowing of the skin. If you suspect you have a deficiency, talk to your doctor about making dietary changes or taking a vitamin supplement.  Sources of vitamin B12 include red meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products, and eggs. Plants don’t make vitamin B12, so strict vegetarians and vegans are at a higher risk of developing a deficiency. Talk to you doctor before taking any vitamin or dietary supplement. High glucose levels and low insulin levels related to diabetes can cause diabetic neuropathy, which is a type of nerve damage. If necessary, work with your doctor or specialist to get your glucose levels under control. Your doctor or pharmacist can also recommend oral or topical medication to help relieve numbness and pain. People with Raynaud’s phenomenon have limited blood flow to the fingers and toes, which causes them to feel numb and cold. During attacks, fingers or toes might also turn white or blue. If your doctor suspects you have Raynaud’s phenomenon, they’ll perform a physical exam, order a blood test, and look at your fingernails under a microscope.  If you have Raynaud’s phenomenon, do your best to keep your hands and feet warm. Regular exercise can help improve blood flow, but you should consult your doctor before starting a new workout routine. Your doctor might also prescribe medication to regulate your blood pressure or relax constricted blood vessels.  Tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine can bring on attacks, so avoid these substances. Numbness in the hands, feet, and other body parts is a common side effect of chemotherapy drugs. Tell your doctor or specialist about these or any other side effects. They might be able to prescribe medication to help relieve pain, numbness, or tingling. Some people who experience numbness and tingling due to chemotherapy find that acupuncture helps relieve their discomfort.

Article in English: Symptoms of stomach ulcers vary from person to person. If you believe you have an ulcer but haven’t had it diagnosed by a medical professional, see your doctor. The symptoms of a stomach ulcer include:  Burning pain in the area just below the ribcage in the center of your chest.  This pain may get worse with food or go away with some foods. Nausea, vomiting, and bloating. Nausea and vomiting are rarer symptoms, but they indicate a serious problem. Seek medical attention if they develop. When your doctor diagnoses the stomach ulcer, they will prescribe treatment to help treat it. There are a few different types of drugs that your doctor might prescribe.   Proton pump inhibitors are powerful acid blocking drugs that will reduce the amount of acid secreted into the stomach and can help reduce the pain of a stomach ulcer. If the cause of the ulcer is an infection with H. pylori, this is generally treated with antibiotics.  Histamine-2 (H-2) blockers may be used to reduce acid in your stomach. Over-the-counter medications referred to as NSAIDs damage the wall of the stomach and can cause ulcers to form. Acetaminophen, like Tylenol, is not associated with ulcers. If needed, use acetaminophen to treat your pain. NSAIDs include ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), aspirin (Bayer), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), ketorolac (Toradol), and oxaprozin (Daypro). NSAIDs may also be included in combination medications including Alka-Seltzer and sleep aids. Over-the-counter antacids can help relieve ulcer pain. They neutralize acids in your stomach. Antacids come in liquid and tablet form. Common over-the-counter antacids include magnesium hydroxide (such as Phillips Milk of Magnesia), sodium bicarbonate (Alka-Seltzer), calcium carbonate (Rolaids, Tums), aluminum hydroxide, and magnesium hydroxide (Maalox, Mylanta). ” You should always call your physician if your ulcer pain is associated with so-called “red flags.” These are signs or symptoms that don’t always mean there is a medical emergency, but should always prompt a call to your...

Article in English: Symptoms of these spasms be different depending on the muscles involved. Spasms of the intestines can cause sharp pain and diarrhea. Urinary tract spasms often happen when kidney stones are present, causing severe pain, nausea, and vomiting. If you notice respiratory tract spasms or trouble breathing, seek emergency medical attention. They can be fatal if not quickly treated. Rule out or treat intestinal problems, such as gallbladder stones or tumors. Urinary spasms will often lessen once you pass or remove kidney stones. You might be able to use medication to treat the pain while waiting for them to pass. Unfortunately, you can't control these smooth muscles, found in organs like your heart and stomach. Spasms in these muscles can sometimes mean there's an underlying medical condition. If you have severe smooth muscle spasms, your doctor may be able to prescribe you medicine. For example, medications such as anticholinergic agents can help intestinal spasms that do not respond to diet and lifestyle changes. Your doctor may prescribe medications to restore neurotransmitter levels or Botox to paralyze the affected muscles. You should discuss these options with your doctor. If you have IBS, you may experience a spasm of the intestine. Antispasmodics help the intestines relax, which helps relieve pain. Talk to your doctor if you have spasms of the intestine, and your doctor can prescribe the proper antispasmodic and treatment plan. One way to treat bladder spasms is to go to the bathroom every 1.5 to 2 hours. This helps keep your bladder empty, so hopefully fewer accidents occur. As the spasms decrease, you can take longer between bathroom breaks. Kegel exercises, also called pelvic floor exercises, can also help bladder spasms by strengthening and relaxing the bladder. To tighten your pelvic muscles, squeeze your bladder muscles like you were trying to stop urine from flowing or trying to stop yourself from passing gas. Your physician can give you specific instructions if you are struggling to get them right....

Article in English: Synesthesia is considered a rare neurological condition that affects the senses, but it's likely that many people who have it are either undiagnosed or assume that other perceive the world just like them. It is unknown how many people have synesthesia. If you actually see colors in the air, smell, hear, or feel things, you have projected synesthesia. This form of synesthesia is rarer than associated synesthesia and is what people first think of as synesthesia.  Some people with synesthesia (called synesthetes) hear, smell, taste or feel pain in color. Others can taste shapes or perceive written letters and words in different colors. For example, they may see an "F" in red and a "P" in yellow when they read. Some synesthetes see abstract concepts, such as abstract shapes, units of time or mathematical equations floating in space outside their bodies — this is termed "conceptual synesthesia." According to research done in the U.S., there are some factors strongly associated with synesthesia. For example, about 3x more women than men have synesthesia in the U.S. People who have synesthesia are also much more likely to be left-handed and have a 40% chance of a relative having the same condition. Often when people talk of their synesthesia, others assume they are hallucinating or on drugs. What distinguishes true synesthesia experiences from hallucinations is that they are repeatable and predictable, not fanciful and random. For example, if you taste strawberries when you hear a certain song, then one must always trigger the other sensation in a predictable fashion to be considered a synesthete. It doesn't always have to be two-way, though. Synesthetes often note being teased and ridiculed (usually starting in childhood) for describing sensory experiences that others can't experience. Synesthesia is a sort of cross-wiring of the nerves and brain synapses related to the five senses. And no two synesthetes have the exact same wiring scheme. For example, the most common form of synesthesia is grapheme-color, when...

Article in English: Systemic herbicides enter the vines' circulatory system through their leaves, then kill off their roots. Use a triclopyr herbicide, the strongest type of systemic herbicide, to kill vines that are strong and thick. This will penetrate the tough exterior of the vines easily. Buy herbicide at a local garden center or hardware store. Herbaceous vines can be removed with a milder systemic herbicide. Apply a glyphosate herbicide to the vine leaves to be absorbed into the circulatory system. Herbaceous vines are not as durable as woody vines and can be killed without need for a more intense poison. If you are killing vines on the ground or on a building that are not touching other plants, spray them with herbicide. Apply enough herbicide to completely wet the foliage of the vine. Avoid dousing the leaves enough to cause runoff onto the ground, which may damage the soil and the roots of nearby plants.  Do not spray vines growing on trees or other plants. It may take several weeks or months to kill the vines depending on their thickness and how developed their root system is. Multiple applications may be necessary. Protect your garden from vine-killing chemicals by covering them completely with thick plastic. To protect their roots, cover the soil surrounding them as much as possible. Ground the plastic with large rocks, bricks, or stakes while you spray. Remove the plastic 2-3 hours after applying the herbicide. Larger, well-established vines are likely to be intertwined with other plants or firmly planted on building or trees. Cut away these vines with a pruning saw or shears and leave a 3–5 inches (7.6–12.7 cm) stump. Apply an undiluted triclopyr herbicide directly to the freshly cut stump. The treated stump should die within a week or 2 after the herbicide attacks the root system.
