Article in English: Many are accustomed to picking up dogs as if they were human babies by putting one hand under each of the dog's "armpits." However, this is unsafe for dachshunds. This puts an unnatural stress on the dog's back — the spine simply isn't built to support his long body without any other support. In general, you will want to avoid any sort of hold that supports only half of the dog's body length. This is true even if the dog is already standing on one set of legs — like, for instance, if he is propping himself up on his hind legs while looking over the top of a sofa. In this case, you'll want to lean down so that you can support his rump before picking him up. As noted above, dogs should be set down gently, not dropped. A dachshund's legs are very short compared to other dog breeds'. This means that they can't bend very far to absorb the shock of hitting the ground, which puts most of the impact stress on the leg joints and back. Getting rid of the dog's "fall" eliminates this danger. Don't trust your dog's body language here. Dachshunds don't know that their skeleton can't support falls, so they may be perfectly willing to jump out of your hands. Even if this doesn't cause them immediate pain, it can lead to painful problems if continued in the long-term. Dachshunds' long, slender spines are especially vulnerable to injury, which is why it's so important to keep their bodies straight when you pick them up. You will definitely want to avoid any activities that put a twist or bend in the dog's back, as this increases the stress on it and can contribute to conditions like slipped discs. For example, one way you might accidentally do this is by scooping the dachshund up suddenly when he doesn't expect it. If you startle your dog, he may wriggle or twist out of one of your hands, putting an unnatural bend in his spine as he hangs. Make sure your dog is calm and aware of you before you attempt to pick him up. Dachshunds, like all dogs, are generally pretty smart about letting you know when they are in pain. If your...

Article in English: Many attackers look for individuals who are distracted and not aware of what’s happening around them. Avoid staring at your phone while you’re walking or on the bus, and instead, keep your eyes on the landscape and people around you. This can help you identify any potentially dangerous situations.  It’s okay if you have your phone out or nearby—that could even be helpful if you need to call for help. Just don’t use it to the detriment of not knowing what’s going on around you. Pay attention to how people are acting, if someone is following or staring at you a lot, and any potential escape routes you could take in case something were to happen. Even if the person in the car seems kind, confused, or lost, don’t step up to an open window. If you can, cut across the street or behind some houses to get away from an unknown person who is trying to talk to you.  Common ruses that would-be-abductors use are asking for directions or pretending to be looking for a lost pet. They assume that people, children especially, will take pity on them and want to be helpful. If this car circles back around to you again, try going to a neighbor’s house or calling your parents or the police. If you can, take note of the license plate number. You could also turn and walk in the opposite direction if you think a car is following you. If they also turn around, you know there is a potentially dangerous situation at hand. When someone is following you on foot, it’s important to get to the safety of other people or to at least get far enough away from them that they can’t easily grab you. The main goal is to prevent them from getting close enough to touch you or to coordinate an abduction with a second person waiting nearby in a car. Generally, there is more safety in numbers. Try ducking into a store or crossing over to a busier street. Abductors are less likely to strike when their victim is surrounded by other people. If you’re out shopping after dark, park as close to the front of the store as you can, and try to get a parking spot...

Article in English: Many bad personalities develop because people do not want to forgive each other and find themselves overwhelmed with hate and anger. Try to find love for everyone. Being an inquisitive person is part about caring for other people, and it will also make you a more interesting person in turn. Try to find out what others find interesting and important. You’ll learn a lot and you’ll help them feel valued. Don’t betray those who are close to you. Your loved ones will appreciate you more and more if you remain loyal. Stick with the people you love through thick and thin. You can push through a rocky part in your relationship if you remain loyal to the person. Don’t try to act like you know everything, but always try to offer a helping hand to people when possible. This could be something as simple as helping a friend move out of their house or offering more involved support, like life guidance. Offer whatever insight you may have, but don’t try to sway them too far in one direction. Respect people’s decisions and opinions.

Article in English: Many banks, especially larger ones like Bank of America or Wells Fargo, keep foreign currency on hand in the branch. You can go to the bank and pick them up directly or order them online. And, even if you are not a customer, these banks will usually allow you to exchange currency for a fee.  If your bank's branch does not keep he currency on hand, they can often order it for you. This usually takes about 2-5 business days.  Note: Many smaller banks and credit unions are unable to exchange foreign currency. Most major airports have currency exchange services that use companies like Travelex to help travelers exchange their home country's money when they arrive in a new destination. These services often charge much higher fees than exchanging currency at a bank because they are in prime locations (like airports) where people need local currency quickly. Sometimes the easiest way to exchange money is to simply use your card at an ATM while you are traveling. Your bank will probably charge you a foreign transaction fee that is a percentage of the entire amount withdrawn (usually 1-3%) in addition to other fees for using another bank's ATM.

Article in English: Many betta like to hear their person's voice. You may notice that your betta swims more actively when you talk to the tank. You can also move your finger around on the glass of the tank, or wiggle it at the surface of the water. He will try to jump toward it. Just be careful not to let him jump out of the tank. Betta fish are curious fish, and they like to play! He or she might follow you around the room when you walk around too. Having different decorations that you switch out at different times give your betta more of a variety of things to look at, and will keep his life enriched. If it is female, it MAY like the company of two or three other female betta fish. It is recommended to have more than two so they won't fight constantly if they are aggressive to one another. This is called a “female betta sorority tank.” Be prepared, however, to keep them in separate tanks if they do not get along. Male bettas most definitely CANNOT live with other male bettas. They will attack each other, which is why bettas are nicknamed “Siamese fighting fish.” A male betta can be in a tank with a female betta for breeding purposes, but you should leave this to professional aquarium breeders, or when you get more experienced with fish-keeping. Again, some betta, male or female, will never get along with others in the tank. Suggested possible tank mates for betta are apple snails, ghost shrimp, red cherry shrimp, African dwarf frogs, cory catfish, and neon tetras. If you do introduce other fish or animals to the tank, you’ll need to keep a careful eye on them. Signs include damaged fins or bodies in the other fish or water animals. You may not always see the betta attacking, but keeping a careful eye on the health of the other fish or animals in the tank is necessary. Do they look hurt? Are any of them hiding constantly? These could be signs that the betta is being aggressive toward them, and you should separate the betta for the well-being of your other fish or water animals in the tank. If you do not have a tank divider or a...

Article in English: Many bike companies have basic size ranges that you can choose from. Different companies may vary in their ranges, so a small bike from one manufacturer may be different in size than another.  XS bike: 13-14in (generally for those between 5ft and 5ft 4in) S: 14-16in (generally for those between 5ft 4in and 5ft 7in) M: 16-18in (generally for those between 5ft 7in and 5ft 10in) L: 18-20in (generally for those between 5ft 10in and 6ft 1in) XL: 20-22in (generally for those over 6ft 1in) When you sit on a bike, your shoulders should be relaxed and your elbows slightly bent. Make sure your knees are slightly bent when you’re at the bottom of your downstroke. If you don’t feel comfortable on the bike, consider changing to a different size. Adjust your shifters and brake levers so your wrists are neutral when you have your fingers on them. Sizing systems vary across companies, but they also vary across bikes. If you're online searching for your next gem, keep this in mind. Here are some basics:  Road, cyclo-cross, and hybrid bike sizes generally run 3-4" bigger for the same rider height, like in the chart above. If you're looking at one of these, adjust as necessary. Hardtail bikes and full-suspension bikes are sized the same. The main differences are cost and what kind of roads they can handle. Full-suspension bikes have much better shocks and can handle more aggressive riding. The hardtail is more versatile and lighter, however, in trade.

Article in English: Many blisters form due to the friction caused by ill-fitting shoes. As the shoes rub or slip against the foot, they pull the skin back and forth, causing the outer layer of skin to separate from the inner layer, creating a pocket that becomes a blister. To prevent this from happening, invest in good-quality, breathable shoes which fit perfectly. If you are a runner, think about going to a speciality running store where a professional can make sure you're wearing the best fit. Socks are very important when it comes to blister prevention, as they minimize moisture (which encourages the formation of blisters) and reduce friction. Choose nylon socks over cotton socks, as they provide more breathability. Wicking socks, which are a type of wool-blend socks, are another good option, as they draw moisture away from the feet. Runners can also find special athletic socks which provide extra cushioning in areas most prone to blisters. There are many products available over-the-counter which can be applied to feet before walking or running to reduce friction and the build-up of moisture. Try using a foot powder, which is sprinkled into the socks before wearing in order to keep the feet dry, or a cream which allows socks and shoes to glide over the skin, rather than causing friction. Blisters often develop on the hands as a result of manual labour, such as using tools or shovels, or gardening. You can avoid such blisters by wearing protective gloves while doing such activities. Blisters can easily form on sunburned skin. The best way to prevent this is to avoid getting sunburned in the first place, by wearing a sunscreen with a high SPF, wearing light, long-sleeved clothing, and wearing sunscreen. If you do happen to get burned, you can ward off blisters with the liberal application of moisturizer, after-sun and calamine lotions. Blisters can form after being burned by hot water, steam, dry heat or chemicals, so you should make sure to take the proper safety precautions when handling hot objects, such as kettles or...

Article in English: Many brands of menstrual cups are on the market and they offer several options for you to choose from.  Read the information provided by different manufacturers so you have a good understanding of the materials used in manufacturing and the features offered by their brand.  Variables include the size of the cup, color choices, disposable vs reusable, amount of fluid they will hold, stiffness of the rim, stiffness of the lower part that holds the fluid, overall length of the cup, width measured at the rim, and the materials used in manufacturing. There is no standard way to determine the correct size like you might do in choosing your shoes or your clothing. A “small” cup provided by one manufacturer may not be exactly the same as a “small’ cup provided by another. However, most manufacturers consistently recommend the choice of cup size, either small or large, based on general characteristics and categories of women.  Cups generally come in either a small or large. General guidelines provided are a starting place, then you may need to tweak your choice of brand and size to find the cup that completely meets your needs. If you are a teenager, have never had sexual intercourse, are under the age of 30, have never delivered a baby vaginally, or exercise often, then you may want to start with a small.  The smaller size has more to do with how it fits inside your vagina, and less to do with how much fluid it will contain.  A large size is suggested for women that are over age 30, have had a vaginal delivery, or have a heavy menstrual flow. Once you have chosen a brand and a size, take some time to get used to your menstrual cup. Wear a pad or pantyliner while adjusting to the cup to prevent leakage or spilling.  It may take two to three menstrual cycles to decide if your first choice is the perfect fit.  The companies that make menstrual cups understand it takes some adjustment. Many companies offer money-back guarantees for new users. The amount of fluid a menstrual cup can hold varies from one brand to another. ...

Article in English: Many brands, including Rubbermaid and Sterlite, make plastic storage containers that work well for LEGO bricks and other pieces. Depending on your needs, you can find both open and lidded varieties. To maximize your storage space, though, stackable bins are a good option. Clear bins or boxes work especially well because you can easily see what’s inside. However, if you’re color sorting your LEGOs, you may want to color code your bins. For example, choose red bins for your red pieces and blue bins for your blue pieces. When you’re sorting your pieces in your bins, you don’t want to overload them or it will be difficult to find pieces when you’re working on a project. Having the LEGOs in a single layer in each bin is ideal because it makes it easier to see all of the pieces.  It helps to buy bins in a variety of sizes, so you can customize your storage based on the size of the pieces. Small pieces, such as Technic pins, clips and hinges, can get lost in large bins, so smaller boxes are a better choice. If you are storing small LEGO pieces in a larger bin, you may want to place them inside a Ziploc or other plastic bag to make them easier to locate when you’re building. One of the benefits of using this type of storage for your LEGOs is that they’re versatile. You can stack the bins on a bookcase or shelving unit, stash them in a closet, or even tuck them under a bed to keep them out of sight. In a child’s bedroom or playroom, you may want to simply stack them on the floor, so it’s easy for your child to access them.

Article in English: Many building codes regulate the number of layers of shingles that may be on a roof, as well as what are acceptable shingling materials. Coastal areas that experience higher winds and hurricanes have different requirements for load and structural design than more centralized locations. If you live on the coast and want to roof your own house, you need to take extra care to obtain the proper permits to ensure the safety of your project. Check with your local government agency regarding the need for a building permit before re-roofing your house. Permits are often offered by the Building Services Department of the city you live in. Generally, you'll be able to get the project approved over the counter if you provide:  Proof of property ownership Permit application worksheet (provided) A statement of repair, stating that you'll replace the roof you remove to keep the building up to code Construction drawings Elevation drawings Shingles are available in many varieties, some of which are more appropriate for particular climates and roof styles. Pick something that works in your area, on your house, and with your particular style of project.   Asphalt shingles are the most common type of roofing shingle. They're quite durable, and can last for 20 or 30 years in the right conditions. Reinforced with fiber glass, asphalt shingles often feature dabs of roofing agent or tar that stick to the shingles above it.  Slate shingles are the heaviest and most durable shingle you can buy. Because they break easily, require special pressure cutters to cut, and are about three times heavier than other shingles, using slate on your roofing project is only recommended if you're an experienced roofer looking for a challenge. Slate roofs are great if you want to create a unique and durable roof for your house and are willing to make the extra effort.  Laminated shingles look somewhat like slate tiles, but are really layered asphalt shingles. They're similar, but somewhat more thick, to asphalt shingles, so working with them would be...

Article in English: Many business leaders overestimate their company's ability to provide good customer service. Be honest with yourself about how happy your customers are with your services and products. A customer satisfaction survey will allow you to get a more objective view of how well you are providing customer service. Providing customers with a reward for filling out the survey will help encourage participation. For example, you might enter them in a raffle or provide them with a coupon for agreeing to fill out the form. You don't want to include more than 10-15 questions in your survey. You want the survey to be comprehensive but not a chore for your customers. Customer satisfaction survey questions can include things like:  "Do you plan to use our services again in the next year? Why or why not?" "Did you feel supported by our employees? Why or why not?" "How easy is it to navigate our website? Please rank our website's user-friendliness on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the least user-friendly and 10 being the most." Use your customers as a resource for learning about new techniques for dealing with problems. You might also learn about how your competition might handle customer service issues. You will be able to determine what your company is doing well and what policies might not be working as effectively as you'd like. Perhaps your competitors have more effective customer service policies than you do. If this is the case, it is important that you know about it so that you can improve. Make sure that your customer satisfaction survey asks your customers how they feel about your competition. Customers like feeling heard, and they will be happy to have some agency as they give feedback to your company. However, you should also emphasize the significance of their role as they fill out the survey. Let them know that their opinions will help future customers have an excellent customer service experience. Thank your customers for helping you meet their needs effectively.

Article in English: Many businesses or governmental agencies will send out an RFP when they need goods or services. For example, a company that is being sued might send RFPs to specific law firms, asking them to submit a business proposal. Alternately, a government agency might send out an RFP when it needs to buy some product or materials. The RFP will generally contain details that you must fully understand before drafting your business proposal.  Be sure that you can provide the client’s needs as outlined in the RFP. For example, you need to be able to meet the proposed budget, timing requirements, and any other specifications that the client identifies. You may choose to submit a formal proposal without waiting for an RFP. If you believe some business could use your services, you may reach out to them on your own and submit your own formal proposal. Your proposal should address the client’s actual needs. To write a strong proposal that will be useful to the client and that will help you earn the assignment, you should understand the client’s work and the need that you are addressing. If possible, you should contact someone at the company to get information. If the RFP is competitive, they may be limited in how much information they can provide. Nevertheless, you should make the effort and try to get answers to some of the following questions:  Find out if prior attempts were made to address the problem. If so, why did those attempts fail? Ask what criteria the client will use when evaluating a business proposal. Find out whether the company has any special concerns that you should address. Ask about the company’s operating policies. Your proposal should be consistent with these policies. Your proposal should contain a title page as a cover. The title page should include the following information:  Your name Your company’s name The name of the person you are submitting the proposal to The date you submitted the proposal The formal proposal that you are submitting should identify a problem and propose a solution.

Article in English: Many butchers don't sell pre-cut lamb steaks. However, your butcher will be happy to cut them for you from a whole leg of lamb. One leg of lamb will typically yield six steaks, each large enough for one serving size.  Ask for steaks cut about 2/3-inch thick. This allows for a quick cooking time and tender results. If your butcher doesn't have a leg of lamb, this method can also be used to cook lamb chops. Peel and chop the garlic into fine pieces. Mix the garlic, rosemary, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a shallow baking dish or another nonreactive dish. This marinade will penetrate the steaks for a tender result. If you're in the mood for a different flavor combination, try one of these:  Yogurt mint marinade: mix 1/2 cup whole milk yogurt, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup chopped mint, and salt and pepper to taste.  Tandoori-spiced marinade: mix 1/2 cup whole milk yogurt, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon minced ginger, 1 teaspoon sweet paprika, 1 teaspoon coriander, 1 teaspoon cumin,1 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 teaspoon salt.  Barbecue marinade: Mix 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup malt vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons tomato sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt.  Mustard marinade: Mix 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Make sure the steaks get completely coated with the mixture on all sides. Add extra olive oil if necessary. When you're finished, cover the dish with plastic wrap. You can start the recipe in the morning and refrigerate during the day, or do it the night before and let the steaks marinate overnight. Turn the steaks halfway through to make sure both sides get completely marinated.

Article in English: Many cats enjoy having their own toys. Choose toys that will allow your cat to mimic its natural hunting behavior--things it can chase, pounce, or catch, for instance. Cats have individual personalities, so you might have to try a few different toys to find what yours likes. You can also change toys occasionally (every day or few days) to keep your cat from getting bored. Good toys can include:  Wand toys with something at the end Rubber balls, or any soft or bouncy toy. Cats like to bat things with their paws.  Catnip toys Crinkly stuff, like bubble wrap or paper bags Laser pointers might be fun, but they can also frustrate your cat. Hide from your cat and try to attract their attention so it can find you, or let your cat hide in something while you find it. Bags and boxes are great for this. In fact, your cat might play with one all by itself if you leave it lying around. The catnip plant is a member of the mint family. For reasons not entirely understood, many cats react enthusiastically to catnip—it may make them roll and flip around, act highly stimulated, or appear especially content.. You can safely give  your cat catnip in various ways. You can try:  Buying a catnip-filled toy. Making your own catnip toy. Fill a plastic easter egg with some loose catnip (found at pet supply stores) and watch your cat have fun sniffing and pawing it.  Sprinkling some loose catnip on one of your cat’s things, like a toy or scratching post. Take a paper towel roll and put some shredded paper in it along with some treats and maybe some catnip. Watch your cat enjoy trying to get at the treats inside.

Article in English: Many cats love being in the sun, so pick an area that is sunny at least part of the day. Cats love catnip and cat mint, and you can distract them from your garden by planting it in another part of the yard. Cats will be drawn to that area rather than to your tomato plants. Be warned, though, that this method may draw more cats to your yard. In addition, till up an area near the catnip and spread sand on top. Cats will enjoy napping in the area, keeping them free of your garden. Cats may use this area as a litter box, so you will need to clean up the area regularly. However, it will likely keep them from going in other areas in your garden. While cats don't like heavy mulch, they do like digging in fine mulch, so it will attract them to the area. Cats also like wheat berries, flax, oat grass, barley grass, and lemongrass to name a few.

Article in English: Many celebrities live in these cities, and spending time there may increase your chances of meeting someone famous. Either make clear your hobby of taking photos with the stars, or casually mention your particular interest to one person. You never know who knows the guy who knows the guy who knows the guy who trains Brad Pitt.  Play it cool. Just as you would protect your friends, colleagues, boss, or employee from someone who seems threatening, someone involved in the life of a celebrity is not going to introduce you if you seem dangerous, bizarre, or embarrassing. Express your interest in a particular field of art or entertainment, rather than one particular person. If your social and work network knows of your love of film, music, or theater, they are more likely to share information, tickets, and news pertaining to a wide variety of people in your interest group. You might get information on a Beyoncé concert if your friends know you love pop music. But if they think you only are interested in Taylor Swift, they may not bother to tell you. When you go for coffee or lunch in a popular area, ask the people working there who comes in. Some people can be very open, and may even tell you which day of the week, or time of day, certain people tend to get their groceries or pick up their takeout. Theater performances, gallery openings, book signings, and other official appearances will be noted. Visit the theater or gallery where the celebrity is scheduled to appear. Talk with the people who work there. You never know who may tell you a bit of information regarding his or her whereabouts.

Some sightseeing companies may require you to pass this exam before you even apply for positions. Search online to see if your area requires you to take a licensing examination, and then pay necessary fees to register for the test.  You can also look online to find details about the test, study guides, and registration information. Enter something like “Professional licensing examination for sightseeing guides in New York City” to find everything you need to prepare for and take the test. Take the exam seriously. If you fail, you’ll need to pay the fee again! Professional tour guide associations and groups like the International Guide Academy in Denver, Colorado offer classes to professionalize guides. These classes teach public speaking, tourism and travel industry terminology, leadership and teamwork, and other skills valuable to tour guides. They’ll give you a certification when you complete their programs.  Be sure to register for courses meant for tour guides rather than tour directors. Tour directors are responsible for logistics and management, while guides lead groups and provide narration about places the group visits. These programs are great for meeting people in the field. Your teachers, in particular, could connect you with people they know are looking for guides. If you live near a local university or community college, check out the course listings. If there are offerings in linguistics, leadership, hospitality, and/or tourism, register. These courses will improve your resume and up your chances of getting a job as a guide. Be sure you have the time and money to dedicate to the classes. If you’re currently working a full-time job, look into taking night classes. While a degree like this won’t guarantee you a job as a guide, it’ll show your potential employers that you’ve got some basic skills in the field. If you’re currently a college or university student and you know you want to be a guide, this could be...

Article in English: Many cities have ordinances against raising chickens in city lines.  It is a good idea to search for town ordinances and to check with your homeowner’s association. They may have additional restrictions. Most cities have stricter laws about roosters than chickens. If you want a rooster in order to grow chickens for meat, you may have more trouble. Chickens make a fair amount of noise. Don't have roosters if you have neighbors close by; the roosters may disturb the neighbors!   Chickens will still squawk, but rest assured they will not crow like roosters. Consider offering your neighbors free eggs every few weeks. They may be more amenable to the idea if they reap some benefits. You will need to stay at home the first day the chicks arrive, and clean and harvest eggs most days of the year. If you have to work long hours, this responsibility may not be for you. If you are raising the birds from chicks, you'll have a little bit of time to build it while they grow. If you are buying older hens, you will need the coop immediately.

Article in English: Many cities will require building permits for installing hot tubs outdoors. Check with yours to see if you need to as well. Make sure the spot you choose is large enough for the hot tub as well as some extra leeway for getting in and out and performing maintenance. A safe amount to allot is approximately 10 feet (3.0 m) by 10 feet (3 m by 3 m), but it depends on the size of your hot tub.  Examine your city's building code to ascertain how far away from your home you must place your hot tub. Many codes require at least 5 feet (1.5 m) of clearance between your home and your property line. Two other regulations you need to consider when finding a place for the hot tub. The hot tub should be at least 10 feet (3 m) away from any overhead power lines, as well as 5 feet (1.5 m) removed from the spa panel. Water and electricity do not mix. Hot tubs, when full, can weigh as much as 3,000 pounds (1,361 kg). For this reason, you will need a firm foundation on which the hot tub can rest. If you don't have a firm foundation, you risk damaging the tub voiding any warranty it comes with.  Pouring concrete into a 3 to 4 inch thick (7.62 to 10.16 cm) pad is a common method of creating a solid foundation. Concrete provides a very strong foundation. At the same time, it may not be aesthetically pleasing and will be permanently anchored into place if you ever choose to move the hot tub. Another option is prefabricated spa pads. These pads have interlocking grids that make installation easy, and they can be removed if you ever decide to relocate your tub. At the same time, spa pads may be less supportive than concrete. Make sure you have a solid base to work with, and you choose the strongest pads if you use this option. If you want to place your tub onto a deck, check first with a contractor. They should be uniquely suited to tell you whether the deck will be able to withstand a ton or more of weight bearing down on it like a continuous hammer. The last thing you want to have happen is to break your deck, and then your tub, upon...

Article in English: Many collapsed veins cannot heal.  Permanent damage can also occur in a very short amount of time. If you believe you have a collapsed vein, contact a doctor or clinic to discuss treatment options. In order to give a vein its best chance to heal, stop injecting into that vein altogether. Vitamin C and other supplements may help fight inflammation within the veins. That said, no supplement will eliminate the risk of a collapsed vein, nor guarantee that a collapsed vein will fully heal. It’s always best to see a medical professional immediately if you believe you may have a collapsed vein. If you are diagnosed with a recently collapsed vein, a doctor may prescribe blood thinners that will help thin your blood and encourage it to circulate.  In other cases, they may recommend surgery to repair damaged veins as much as possible.

Article in English: Many colleges have restrictions regarding the types of cooking instruments you are allowed to keep in your dorm room. Review these restrictions before making any big purchases. Items you should check on before buying include:  Coffee maker Blender Microwave Small refrigerator Resealable plastic bins and plastic bags are important since they allow you to store leftovers and make your food supply last longer. Make sure that your plastic bins are microwave-safe. Forks, knives, and spoons are the absolute essentials you need to stock up on, so buy these supplies before you head off to college.  You should also consider buying a can opener, funnel, and any cooking utensils (like whisks and mixing spoons) you might need if you plan to prepare your own food. Cooking supplies also include baking pans, saucepans, and frying pans. You will also need plates, bowls, cups, and mugs when you head off to college. Make sure that your dishes are microwave-safe.

Article in English: Many color schemes inspire Christmas, but not all of them might work with your room. For example, if your room has a lot of pink and white, the traditional red and green might clash. Red and white might be more suitable. Here are some common Christmas color schemes to get you started:  Red and green Red, green, and white/gold Blue and white/silver Blue, white, and silver White/ivory and gold Red and white/gold Green and white/gold Sometimes, having a set theme can help you choose which decorations to put up. It can also help your room look more unified and less cluttered. As with colors, choose a theme that matches your room. For example, if your room has a lot of heavy, Victorian-era furniture, a rustic or nature theme might clash. Themes that are more Victorian or ornate might work better with your room decor. Here are some common Christmas themes to get you started:  1900s, Charles Dickens, Victorian era, and Vintage inspired Rustic, woodland cabin-inspired, with lots of gingham, knit, wood, and burlap Nature, with lots of snow, pine trees, pinecones, reindeer, and woodland creatures Traditional/classic with lots of red and green, snowmen, and Santa Claus Fancy/royal with lots of silver or gold, ornate scroll patterns, and lots of rich brocade Winter wonderland, with lots of blue, silver, and white, snow, snowflakes, icicles, and pine trees Look at how stores step up their displays. If you see any you like, try to copy them. Take pictures, write down what you see, or make a quick sketch. You don't have to copy the display exactly; you can just use elements from it, such as silver ornaments and glittery snowflakes. You can also get ideas from a nature walk as well. If you have a laptop, radio, or TV in your room, consider playing some Christmas music or a Christmas movie. They might inspire you or get you into the Christmas spirit. If you don't know where to start decorating, take a look around your room. See if there are any blank spaces or surfaces, and start decorating there. For example:  Is there a...

Article in English: Many commercial pesticides can be used against bed bugs, but you must make sure that the pesticide you choose is specifically labeled for bed bug use. Many general pesticides or those used for other insects, like ants or wasps, are not effective against bed bugs.  Choose a pesticide geared toward use in a specific location for the strongest results. In general, there are pesticides used to treat the outdoors, mattresses, the whole home, a whole room, and cracks or surfaces. There are also certain active ingredients that are commonly found in pesticides used against bed bugs. These include bifenthrin, boric acid, cold pressed neem oil, deltamethrin, tetramethrin, and propoxur, among others. When possible, purchase a product that has been registered with the EPA. These products have been officially tested for effectiveness. There are not general instructions that apply to all pesticides; you must follow the instructions provided on the label of the specific pesticide you choose.  Never use an outdoor pesticide indoors. Using a pesticide incorrectly could be dangerous for your health. It may also prove ineffective against the bed bugs. Only throw the instructions away once the pesticide has been completely used up. Save the instructions as long as some of the chemical remains inside the container. If commercial, home-use pesticides fail, call a professional. The chemicals used by professional exterminators are often more powerful, and the techniques used to apply those chemicals are also more thorough and expertly performed. Find out from the exterminator if he or she wants you to prepare your home in any particular way before fumigation occurs. The exterminator may have you discard bedding or fabrics that are damaged beyond repair or remove anything that can be harmed by the chemicals being used.

Article in English: Many companies do not permit workers to access email from outside of the workplace for security purposes. Check with your IT department to see if you can even access your email at home. They can often provide you the best instructions for getting connected as well. If you have an Office 365 for Business or Exchange-based email account, you may be able to add it to your iPhone's Mail app, provided your IT department has allowed outside connections. This will open the settings for all of your connected email accounts. This will allow you to add Exchange and Office 365 for Business email accounts. Make sure to include the domain at the end of your email address (e.g. "name@interslice.com"). This will add your Exchange or Office 365 for Business account to your Mail app. If you cannot connect to your Exchange or Office 365 for Business server, contact your IT department, as they may not allow connections from mobile devices. Some Exchange servers will require you to create a passcode when adding your account. You'll be prompted for this passcode when checking your work mail.

Article in English: Many companies exist that allow you to make a website, like Wix or Weebly. They may charge you for upgrades or fancier services, but you can make a simple portfolio website on their platform for free. Squarespace is another option, though you do have to pay a monthly or annual fee. It’s best to choose a template with a simple design and minimal animation, rather than crowded pages and flashy text. This should be the first page that viewers see when they visit your website. Experiment with different ways to lay out your samples until you find the form that is the most attractive. Lay out your samples in a grid, as a slideshow, or in one long, scroll-through page. Include brief captions or descriptions of your samples. You can also include a brief tagline of who you are on the main page, but leave the bulk of the personal information for a separate About Me page. Upload small file sizes so that the webpage doesn’t take forever to load. This page should include a professional-looking headshot and your personal statement. You can write either in first or third person. This is a good spot to post or link to your resume and any relevant social media, such as a YouTube channel or an Instagram account (not your personal one).  If you’re struggling with what to say on this page, keep it simple. “I’ve been working in graphic design for 2 years. I’m based in Columbus and I specialize in marketing and advertising graphic design. I’m open to new clients, commissions, and collaborations.” Check out the About Me pages of other people in your field for inspiration. You can also include relevant awards or certificates on this page. You can include a form where people can send you emails or post your email address. If you don’t already have a professional email address, now’s a good time to make one.  It’s best not to put your phone number online, because you will likely get a ton of spam calls. Instead, you can provide your phone number to someone once they’ve already been in email contact with you, so you know they are...

Article in English: Many companies have a standard format for their weekly reports, and the managers or executives may be accustomed to getting their information that way. Using a different format can cause frustration and confusion.  This is particularly important with sales reports. Managers become accustomed to glancing at a report and knowing where on the page a particular figure or piece of information will be. If you use a different format, your report will be virtually useless for them because they'll have to actually read through it to find what they need. Speak to administrative assistants and find out if there's a template you can use for formatting, so you don't have to create it from scratch in your word processing application. Many companies have a document template with the correct settings, including margins, tables, paragraph styles, and fonts. If you're printing up a paper document, or submitting the document digitally as an attachment, you are going to format your report differently than you would if it is simply to be included in the body of an email.  For example, if you're sending your report as an attachment to an email, you should include your executive summary in the body of your email. That way your reader doesn't have to open the attachment to understand the thrust of your report. If you're submitting a paper report, it's more likely that you will need to include a cover letter or title page so that your report can be properly identified and filed. Regardless of how you submit your report, make sure your name is included on all pages, and that all pages are numbered in "X of Y" format. Pages can be easily separated, and people should be able to tell at a glance whether the whole report is there, and who the report came from. You can easily include the required information as a header on each page. For example, your header might read "Sally Sunshine Sales Report, Week 32, Page 3 of 7." The executive summary is a brief summary of the entire report – typically only a paragraph or two, with a couple of...

Article in English: Many companies have a zero-tolerance policy for interoffice romance. Make a point to familiarize yourself with written policies on fraternization. Your Human Resources department has these policies on file. Consider your future goals and be clear to yourself about what your job means to you. If you are uncomfortable with the possibility that this rendezvous could end up negatively affecting your career, then it probably is not a good idea to pursue a one night stand with a coworker.   Pros may include: having a one night stand with a person you're familiar with because you work together, having at least one thing in common (work) with the partner for the one night stand, and the exciting, “forbidden” nature of the affair. Some cons could be: one of you could end up being fired, things could become awkward at work between the two of you, work place gossip may spread, and your reputation might be tarnished. Do not pursue the affair in order to escape your day-to-day work struggles. Today, many people are unsatisfied with their jobs, but this does not mean you should sleep with your co-worker who happens to sympathize with you; do not confuse sympathy with love or desire.   Sympathy is an understanding or common feeling between people, generally in a negative context. For example, you can sympathize with someone who you do not even know because you share a common negative experience.  Love is an intense feeling of affection or desire, where you want to get to know a person on a more intimate level. If you do decide to pursue the affair, know your game plan. Consider the worst case scenario, and have an exit strategy if things go south. Think about whether you would be willing to quit your job, and have a possible back-up in case things end up badly.  Before the one-night stand, you can prepare your exit strategy by doing the following:  Make sure your resume, website, or work portfolio is up to date. Contact colleagues and people you know from previous jobs for references and recommendations. Look into the...

Article in English: Many conditions could cause your eosinophilia, including a blood disorder, allergies, digestive disorder, connective tissue disorders, parasites, or a fungal infection. Your doctor will take blood and skin samples to help find the cause. In rare cases, they may also order stool tests, CT scans, or bone marrow tests.  Primary eosinophilia is when you have high eosinophils in your blood or tissue caused by a blood disorder or disease, such as leukemia. Secondary eosinophilia is caused by a medical condition other than a blood disorder, such as asthma, GERD, or eczema. Hypereosinophilia is a high eosinophil count without any apparent cause. If your eosinophilia is affecting a certain part of your body, you may be diagnosed with a specific type of eosinophilia. Esophageal eosinophilia affects your esophagus while eosinophilic asthma affects your lungs. Since allergies often increase eosinophils, your doctor may refer you to an allergist. The allergist may do a patch test, in which they place small amounts of common allergens to your skin to see if you react. They might also take a blood sample and test it for allergies. If the allergist suspects you have food allergies, they may place you on an elimination diet. You will stop eating certain types of foods and introduce them back into your diet one at a time. An allergist will perform blood tests to determine if certain foods affect your eosinophil levels. Corticosteroids are currently the only medication used to treat a high eosinophil count directly. Steroids can reduce inflammation caused by high eosinophils. Depending on the cause of your eosinophilia, your doctor may give you a prescription for a pill or inhaler. Prednisone is the most common corticosteroid prescribed for eosinophilia. Always follow your doctor’s instructions for taking medications.  If your doctor is unsure of the cause of your eosinophilia, you may be given a low dose of corticosteroids to start. They will then monitor your condition to see if it improves.  Do not take a corticosteroid if...

Article in English: Many couples meet because of mutual friends. Though it may seem unlikely, you may end up married to your friend's cousin or former roommate. You can be open to being set up by your friends, who will know your personality as well as the personality of the person they want to set you up with. Or you can just go to a gathering with one of your friends, who may have an idea of a certain single person there that would be perfect for you. Don't be shy -- your friends know what makes you happy and can help you find that perfect person without being too obvious about it. Common interests can make a relationship thrive, so look out for any special people who share your interests, whether you lock eyes with a cute guy in your yoga class, notice someone cute reading your favorite book in a coffee shop, or if you really click with that girl in your grad school class. The common interest can be a launching point for an exciting relationship. The common interest will also give you an easy opening for a fun first date; if you're both into something, you can just do that thing together and see where it goes. It's a known fact that more people meet at work than they would admit. It makes sense: in a given day, you may spend more time with your coworkers than anyone else, and if you love what you do, then you and that person may have similar interests. Though you shouldn't actively pursue your coworkers because that could be breaking your company code, if you really feel an attraction to someone in your workplace, be open to the possibility that this person could end up being really special -- as long as you follow company policy. Online dating has become one of the easiest ways to meet your future spouse. Online dating sites help you narrow down your choices based on common interests and other important qualities, and people who join online dating sites tend to be more serious about committing for life.

Article in English: Many couples meet in college or graduate school. It's a place where people have things in common, spend time near one another, and get a sense of one another as workers and friends. If you've already gone to school, or are unable to return, try taking extension classes in subjects that interest you: cooking, foreign languages, dance, or business. Not only is school an excellent place to meet a potential mate, but getting an education can increase the longevity of your future relationship. Couples with college education have lower divorce rates than their less-educated peers. Your mental and physical health influence who is willing to date you, and for how long. Get regular exercise and a full night's sleep each night. Eat regular meals, healthy snacks, and avoid soda and refined sugar. Visit the doctor regularly. Take particular care of your mental health. If you are too shy, depressed, anxious, or insecure to date, visit a therapist. To attract a partner, look your best. Be clean. Shower often, but use shampoo no more than three times a week. Brush your teeth and floss after eating, so that your breath is fresh and your teeth look healthy.  Dress to suit yourself. Fashion choices are going to vary widely depending on your tastes, but in general, wear clothing that fits your body, is clean, and is not very worn out.  Wear the colors that flatter you, or wear black and neutrals if you can't figure out what your colors are. You won't find someone who loves you if you are unloving of yourself. Pursue the things you want in life: a job you like, friends who treat you well, hobbies you enjoy, and good communication with your family. Take care of your emotional, physical, and financial wellbeing. Treating yourself well demonstrates emotional stability, an extremely attractive characteristic. Friends are the mostly likely people to introduce you to your life partner. They are also the people who will help you through the rough cycles of dating, who will support you when you find someone you like, and who will be...

Article in English: Many derma roller companies sell purifying tablets to make cleaning easy. If your roller came with a tablet, read the instructions detailed on the packaging. If your derma roller does not have a cleaning tablet, use denture tablets instead. Denture tablets are designed to sanitize, and you can safely use them on your derma roller. Different purifying tablets will call for varying levels of water. Typically, they use about 1  c (240 mL) or so. Measure the water with a measuring cup, and pour it into a small dish. If your derma roller cleaning container has a fill line on the outside, simply use that as a guideline as you fill it. Rip open the packaging around the individual tablet, and place the tablet into the water. Once you dunk the purifying tablet in the water, the chemicals in the tablet mix with the water to create your sanitizing solution. This happens instantly, so place your derma roller into the water right after the tablet. Make sure the entire derma roller is completely covered for a thorough clean. Follow the directions on the packaging to ensure your derma roller is completely sanitized. Some purifying tablets only need to soak for 5-10 minutes. If you are using denture cleaning tablets, leave your derma roller in the solution overnight. Once your derma roller has soaked thoroughly, use warm water to rinse off the solution. Then, set the roller on a clean paper towel for 10-20 minutes so it can air dry. If you pat your roller to dry, it may bend the needles. If the needles are bent, they may scratch your face.

Article in English: Many desks and chairs are built for some average height person, so they might not fit you too well.  Choose an office or task chair which fits you. It should, ideally, adjust low enough for your feet to rest flat on the floor. Also, check the depth of the chair. Your knees should fold over the edge while your back is supported. Armrests and lumbar support should, likewise, be able to be adjusted so they suit your height. Adjust the height of your office chair to a height which fits you. Make sure your feet rest comfortably on the floor when you're seated. If they don't, or if you must raise your seat to match too high a desk, place a footstool under your feet, or improvise another object, such as a ream of paper, box, or old book. Adjust the height of your desk, bench, or other work surfaces. If the work surface is not adjustable, as in the case of most kitchen counters, you could either choose a lower work surface (such as the kitchen table) or raise yourself. An aerobic exercise step is a good, sturdy place to stand, with the option to adjust the height. Adjust the height of your monitor or screen. Your eyes should be level with the top, or about three-quarters of the way up. Many modern screens have a height adjustment built in. Otherwise, look into getting a monitor arm or wall-mount. Get and use a keyboard tray, if necessary, to lower your keyboard and put it at an angle which keeps your wrists straight and relaxed. Try a smaller keyboard and mouse, if your hands are smaller. They may be sold as "portable" or "travel" devices. Choose lower shelves for the items you use most often. Try a long-handled tool for tasks such as cleaning high places, hanging holiday lights, and changing light bulbs. Get a sturdy stepstool or ladder appropriate for the task. Keep it handy and place it on a solid, level surface. Never climb on improvised items, on shelves, or on chairs with swivels or wheels.

Purchase a detangling brush online or at your local beauty supply store. Using a paddle brush on wet hair can also create a lot of tangles and a lot of frizz. Thick hair can easily work itself free from elastics and scrunchies. Use thin and flat fabric hair ties. Some trendy hair ties may stretch out sooner than you’d like while extra-grip products may pull or damage your hair. Look for specially designed elastics that provide extra grip but do not break or damage your hair. Search for speciality non-damaging grip elastics online or at your local beauty supply store. Spray hairspray onto bobby pins and insert them wavy side down into your hair for more hold. Don’t be tempted to use more than is necessary, take your time to ensure proper placement. Focus on ions and wattage if you want a fast drying time. Prevent damage and frizz with an ionic dryer that is a minimum of 1800 watts. Purchase your hair dryer online or at your local beauty supply store. Dampen your brush with a bit of hairspray. Don’t soak your hair brush but add a small amount to take away static, seal your cuticles, and hold your hair together. Avoid crunchy strands by brushing your hair from underneath rather than from the top of your head.  Regular brushes cause static so use a boar bristle brush to distribute your hair’s natural oils and eliminate static and adds shine.  You may use smoothing formula instead of hairspray to  help your brush move smoothly through your hair. Remember to only brush a section of hair that is no wider than your brush. There are a number of different hair styling tools you can work with depending on what you’re trying to achieve.

Article in English: Many dieters believe that they need to avoid fat like the plague when trying to lose weight. However, eating a certain amount of healthy fat is essential for a balanced diet and can actually aid weight loss. In fact, studies suggest that a diet with a higher ratio of monounsaturated fats (MUFAs) (avocados, nuts, seeds, soybeans, chocolate) can prevent the accumulation of belly fat. As a result, 25 to 30% of your daily calorie intake should come from such healthy fats.  Polyunsaturated fats - such as the Omega-3 fatty acids found in mackerel, salmon, herring, walnuts, canola oil and tofu - are another type of healthy fat that you should try to incorporate into your diet. They help to lower bad cholesterol and boost brain function.  Trans fats, on the other hand, (found in margarine, crackers, cookies--anything made with partially hydrogenated oils) result in more fat being deposited in the abdomen, so you should avoid these as much as you can. It is very common for dieters to try to starve themselves between meals, with the result that they actually eat much more than necessary when the food is finally in front of them. One of the best kept secrets of successful dieters is that they actually eat more frequently throughout the day, they just eat smaller meals.  Try eating six small meals a day, rather than your regular three large ones. You'll find sticking to your weight-loss plan much easier in the long-run if you're not in a constant state of hunger! Kicking off the day with a healthy, balanced breakfast is one of the best things you can do when following a weight-loss diet. A good breakfast kick starts the metabolism, allowing you to burn more calories throughout the day. It also keeps you fuller for longer, reducing your tendency to snack throughout the morning and afternoon, which may result in a higher calorie intake overall.  Try eating a combination of filling wholegrain cereals and breads, protein-rich eggs and high-vitamin fruits for the perfect balanced breakfast. If you're on the go, grab a fruit...

Article in English: Many different industries will hire welders, and the jobs you're applicable for will vary depending on your experience and your level of certification. For most jobs, you'll need to provide a resume, proof of your certification, and pass a drug screen before being hired. Stay on top of your AWS certification's expiration date and complete the recertification procedure as soon as possible. This can have an effect on your pay, in some jobs.  If you're lucky enough to be hired on somewhere full-time, you'll probably have to go through regular re-certifications and new on-the-job training programs. Fortunately, this will probably come with a raise in your pay grade, and new skills. To make yourself the most marketable candidate for each job, it's important to stay certified and actively seek new certifications to up your pay grade and your marketability for new projects and responsibilities. If you know you are interested in a specific type of welding, or an industry that requires a specific type of welding, you may need more training to attain the skills necessary to do a more diverse range of jobs. Common welding jobs take place in shipyards, factories, construction sites, and along pipelines, although there are many more specialized options as well. If you're interested in a particular industry but aren't sure of the requirements, simply look at job postings online or talk to someone employed in that field. Once you are an experienced welder with 10 – 20 years in the field, you'll probably have no problem finding steady, well paying employment. The more work you do until that point, in as wide a variety of welding jobs as you can, the quicker you'll learn the various techniques and types of welding in a practical setting. Consider applying to jobs that require travel. If you cannot find steady employment nearby, look for jobs further away. Many welders travel between jobs, as the largest jobs that require the most welders tend to only last a few months. Some people work for a company that gives them several...

Article in English: Many different medications are used to control symptoms of Crohn's disease. The type of medication that works for you will depend on the specific nature of your Crohn's disease and the severity of your symptoms. Some commonly used drug treatments include:   Anti-inflammatory drugs: These drugs are often the first step in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. They include sulfasalazine (Azulfidine) which is useful mainly in colonic disease , mesalamine (Asacol, Rowasa) which may help to prevent a relapse of Crohn's disease after surgery, and corticosteroids.  Immune system suppressors: These drugs also reduce inflammation, but they target your immune system rather than treating inflammation itself. They include azathioprine (Imuran) and mercaptopurine (Purinethol), infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab (Humira), certolizumab pegol (Cimzia), methotrexate (Rheumatrex), cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), and natalizumab (Tysabri).  Antibiotics: These can heal fistulas and abscesses in people with Crohn's disease. They include metronidazole (Flagyl) and ciprofloxacin (Cipro).  Antidiarrheal agents: Crohn's disease patients who suffer from chronic diarrhea usually respond well to antidiarrheal agents such as loperamide. Loperamide - which is sold commercially as Imodium - can be bought over-the-counter without a prescription.  Bile acid sequestrants: Patients with terminal ileal disease or a previous resection of the ileum (end part of the small intestine) may not absorb bile acids normally which can lead to secretory diarrhea in the colon. These patients may benefit from bile acid sequestrants like cholestyramine or colestipol.  Other medications: Some other medications that may relieve symptoms of Crohn's disease include steroids, immune system suppressors, fiber supplements, laxatives, pain relievers, iron supplements, vitamin B12 shots, and calcium and vitamin D supplements. There's no firm evidence that what you eat actually causes inflammatory bowel disease. But certain foods and beverages can aggravate...

Article in English: Many different species that humans eat carry tapeworms, including cattle, pigs, fish, sheep, goats, and rabbits.  Eliminating raw or undercooked meat from your diet is the easiest way to avoid infection. Note that poultry tapeworms do exist, but are not common in modern farming facilities because they require an intermediate insect host such as an earthworm or beetle. When cooking whole cuts of meat such as steaks or chops, be sure that the internal temperature of the meat reaches at least 145 °F (63 °C).  Ground meat should be cooked to an internal temperatures of 160 °F (71 °C). Freezing meat and fish at a temperature below 14 °F ( -10 °C) for at least 48 hours will also kill tapeworm eggs and larvae. Chemical solutions can be purchased to sanitize fruit and vegetables, or you can simply wash them thoroughly with safe (boiled) water. This will make sure that any eggs or larvae on your hands are not transferred into your food or digestive system.  You'll also avoid infecting other people. Make sure to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds. Try humming either the alphabet song or "Happy Birthday to You" twice to ensure you're washing for an adequate length of time.

Article in English: Many districts now have a policy about how students and teachers can appear on Facebook during school hours. Present a detailed explanation of how you will use the group, how students will interact with it and what value it will add to the class. If all of them are using Facebook, you are likely to benefit from making a group page for your class. This may require your kids to be middle school-age or older. Find out what percentage of the students have an Internet connection at home. If any students do not, you can use the Facebook group primarily in a computer lab environment. Try to ensure that students without a home connection will not be left out. There are extra burdens on a teacher to remain professional, so ensure that you keep your professional profile private, do not add applications unless necessary and only post based on things you would say to students, parents and colleagues in a professional environment. Opt to make a secret group where only members can see what has been posted to the page, in order to help protect the privacy of the students and the school. Add educational photos, links and instructions. You can type school emails into the "Members" section, or you can conduct a class in a room with computers, so that all the students can sign up at once. If you choose to do it in a computer lab, you can also help start interaction on the group site that day. Consider asking the students to sign a social media conduct sheet. Include rules to keep all interaction appropriate, course related and friendly. Anyone who is found to have broken the rules should face disciplinary consequences. The following are ways that have been proven effective in engaging students with educational material:  Ask students to respond to a homework assignment by posting on the group page. For younger children, give each child a different question, so that your students are learning from each other when they check the group page. For older children, have them comment about their opinions on a reading assignment to...

Article in English: Many documentaries devote much of their running time to one-on-one interviews with people who are knowledgeable about the subject of the documentary. Pick a selection of relevant people to interview and collect as much footage as you can from these interviews. You'll be able to splice this footage throughout your documentary to help prove your point or convey your message. Interviews can be "news style" - in other words, simply sticking a microphone in someone's face - but you'll probably want want to rely more on one-on-one sit-down interviews, as these give you a chance to control the lighting, staging, and sound quality of your footage while also allowing your subject to relax, take his or her time, tell stories, etc.   These people may be famous or important - well-known authors who have written about your subject, for instance, or professors who have studied it extensively. However, many of these people may not be famous or important. They may be ordinary people whose work has given them a familiarity of your subject or people who simply witnessed an important event firsthand. They can, in certain situations, even be completely ignorant of your subject - it can even be enlightening (and entertaining) for the audience to hear the difference between a knowledgeable person's opinion and an ignorant person's opinion. Let's say our car documentary is on classic car aficionados in Austin, Texas. Here are just a few ideas for people to interview: members of classic car clubs in and around Austin, wealthy car collectors, cranky old people who have complained to the city about the noise from these cars, first-time visitors to a classic car show, and mechanics who work on the cars. If you're stumped for interview questions, brainstorm questions based on the basic queries "who?" "what?" "why?" "when?" "where?" and "how?" Often, asking someone these basic questions about your subject will be enough to get him or her to relate an interesting story or some enlightening details. Remember––a good interview should be...

Article in English: Many dogs and other animals end up injuring themselves with porcupine encounters two or more times. If your pet has been injured by a porcupine once in your area, it is likely to encounter one again and may provoke it again. Porcupines live in small, enclosed spaces. Caves, spaces underneath logs, or rockfalls may contain porcupines. Keep your animal leashed when passing by this type of area, or call it back if it goes to investigate these. If someone encountered porcupines near your house, they may be living underneath a deck, in a crawlspace, or in the corner of a shed. A porcupine's den may be easy to discover if you follow the sound of strange barks, grunts, moans, or screams. These sounds are most common during the autumn mating season. Contrary to myth, porcupines are not aggressive and are not able to throw their quills. As long as you back away slowly, the porcupine should not harm you. Look around as you back up to make sure there are no other porcupines around. While they are usually solitary, you may find mothers with young or multiple porcupines sharing a den in the winter. Porcupines typically sleep during the day, so your animals have little risk of encountering them during that time. Keep your animals indoors or in pens during the night. If you want to spot the porcupines yourself to confirm they are on your property, you may need a flashlight or night vision goggles. Stay well away from the suspected den. Besides the possibility of injury, porcupines will eat wood and garden plants, causing major damage. Call Wildlife Control or professional pet removers and have them safely remove the porcupines. Do not attempt to drive the porcupines away yourself, as you could be seriously injured.

Article in English: Many dogs run away because they think they need to get home. If you’ve moved recently, your dog may not understand that your new home is his new home. Whenever your dog will be spending time in a new place, give him time to explore and become familiar with the smells and sounds. A common reason dogs run off is to find a mate. This is especially true of unneutered male dogs. Having your pet spayed or neutered will help prevent this urge. Spaying and neutering also helps prevent unwanted puppies from becoming strays and crowding shelters. Dogs are social animals. They need stimulation and interaction or they’ll become bored. Make sure your dog has plenty of social time with you, other dogs, or other people.  If you work long hours, consider hiring a dog walker or pet sitter to engage your dog during the day. Not all dogs will get along with others. Always introduce dogs while they’re on a leash to prevent dangerous fighting. Sometimes, dogs run off simply because they want to run. Make sure your dog gets plenty of walks and time outside. This way, he won’t need to run away just to get exercise.  Different breeds need different amounts of exercise. For example, a pug may only be able to walk briskly for 20 or 30 minutes before needing a break. A husky is bred to run great distances. Find out what’s healthy for your particular breed. Exercise can include going for walks, chasing a ball or a frisbee, or running around a dog park with other dogs. Make sure your dog knows that coming back is good behavior. When he comes back, praise him and give him a treat. This reward will teach him that coming back can feel as good as running away.  Never scold a dog when he returns to you, even if it took him a long time. This teaches the dog that he’ll be punished for coming back. Don’t only call him back when the fun is over. For example, if you’re at the park, call him back for a moment before letting him continue to play. If you always call him right before going home, he’ll learn that coming back means that playtime is over.

Article in English: Many dogs tend to react to any opportunity for attention by running, yelping, and slobbering in appreciation.  Cats are more likely to want to dictate the times and terms of affection, although they may want some prodding from you from time to time.  It's hard to show affection if you are never around, so be a present cat parent when possible.  Simply sitting in the same room will present your cat with opportunities to display affection and give clues that it desires reciprocation. Talk to your cat when you're spending time together.  Whether your cat can actually learn to recognize any of your words or not, the act of talking provides an opportunity for interaction that can be reciprocated in the feline's preferred manner. If your cat has to spend long stretches of time alone, play with your cat before you go out, and provide an environment where the cat can entertain himself, such as having toys available, and a high perch where he can watch what's going on outside. Then, be sure to play with your cat when you do return. While most cats are content with their own company, that does not mean they prefer being solitary creatures.  A cat that wants to include you in its circle is in turn seeking proof of your acceptance of this inclusion. The well-known cheek rub (or “bunting”) performed by cats — really often a full-body rub from nose to tail — is a way for them to mark you with their scent.  Cats release pheromones from glands in their cheeks, and use this scent marking to in essence claim you.  Simply permitting this bunting to occur is an easy way to show affection by accepting affection. Cats, like people, like to shower those they love with gifts, although these gifts may be a dead mouse placed on your pillow instead of a bouquet of roses.  If you're lucky, your gift might just be a favorite toy or plaything. A cat's choice to sleep on or near you is also usually a sign of affection.  Cats, like any animal, are vulnerable when asleep, and need to fully trust your affection and protection to sleep so...

Article in English: Many dogs, even if they're in otherwise good health, may have a reaction to a rabies vaccine. This is usually normal and symptoms should clear up within a week.  Anaphylactic, or allergic reactions, are the most common types of reactions. They usually occur during booster shots and after the 2nd or 3rd round. Your dog might become lethargic and show a mild fever and have swelling around the site of the vaccination. Your vet might recommend antihistamines as treatment if the reaction is severe. Severe reactions, while rare, can be fatal. If you live some distance from a vet then you need to be prepared to accept this risk if considering vaccination yourself at home.  Local reactions are swelling, redness, and itching about the site of the injection. They occur shortly after a vaccination and are usually not serious. They tend to pass within a few weeks.  Systemic reactions are things like fever, lethargy, and loss of appetite. They are common, appear shortly after an injection, and tend to pass within a few days.  A serious reaction will occur within 10 to 30 minutes of the injection. The dog may collapse and go into shock and will have pale gums, a racing heart, and may lose consciousness. Please monitor your dog for a while after vaccination for any adverse effects.  Immediately after a vaccine, keep an eye on your dog for about an hour. Bad reactions might occur in this timeframe and medical care might be needed. Be careful handling your dog in the days following a rabies vaccine. He will probably be sore around the site of injection and you'll want to avoid touching this area. Occasionally, reactions can get quite serious. If you follow proper protocol, this is rare. However, know when medical care might be needed in the event of a serious reaction.   Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is an immune response that triggers the release of red blood cells. It is unlikely to occur in response to a rabies vaccine, but not impossible. Signs include lethargy, increased heart rate, difficulty breathing, vomiting, and...

Article in English: Many dye packages come with a soda ash solution, which helps the dye to bond with the fabric of your shirt. Dissolve the soda ash solution into a bowl of water, and let your shirt soak for around twenty minutes.  If your dye did not come with soda ash, you can soak the shirt in lukewarm water. You can also choose to buy soda ash separate from your dye kit at a local craft store.  Do not use cold or hot water, as they will make the dyes less effective. If you don’t want the dyes to spread very far on the shirt, don’t get it wet before adding the color. Dying a damp shirt helps the color to travel further, faster. So, if you want your color to be relatively isolated, dye it while  it’s dry.

Article in English: Many ear infections will go away without antibiotics within about two days. Using this approach reduces the likelihood of developing strains that are resistant to antibiotics. But it is best to take your child to the doctor when you first suspect an ear infection, to be sure that it is an ear infection. Your doctor may recommend waiting if:  Your child is older than six months and under two years old, has mild discomfort in one ear for less than two days, and a temperature below 102 °F (38.9 °C). Your child is two years old or older, has mild discomfort in one or both ears for less than two days, and a temperature below 102 °F (38.9 °C). Ear aches can cause significant discomfort and some of these techniques may lessen your child’s pain and help him sleep at night. You can try:  Warmth. Put a warm, damp washcloth over the infected ear.  This may reduce your child’s discomfort. Pain medication, if your doctor approves it. Ask your doctor whether you should give your child over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol and others) or Ibuprofen (Motrin IB, Advil, and others). Do not give aspirin to children or teenagers because it may be associated with Reye’s syndrome. Antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, cefdinir, or augmentin may help clear up a severe bacterial ear infection. They will not be effective against a viral ear infection. If your child does receive antibiotics, be sure to give her the entire course as prescribed, even if your child feels better right away. This will help prevent resistant strains from evolving. Your doctor is particularly likely to recommend antibiotics in the following circumstances:  A temperature greater than 102 °F (38.9 °C) Moderate or severe pain in one or both ears An infection that has lasted two days or more Fluid buildup and ear infections can cause long-term damage and hearing loss if not alleviated. If your child has had more than three ear infections in six months, four infections in a year, or fluid that does not go away after infection is gone, your doctor...

Article in English: Many electric motor failures are caused by bearing failures.  The bearings allow the shaft or rotor assembly to turn freely and smoothly in the frame.  Bearings are located at both ends of the motor which are sometimes called "bell housings" or "end bells". There are several types of bearings used.  Two popular types are brass sleeve bearings and steel ball bearings.  Many have fittings for lubrication while others are permanently lubricated or "maintenance free". To perform a cursory check of the bearings, place the motor on a solid surface and place one hand on the top of the motor, spin the shaft/rotor with the other hand. Closely watch, feel, and listen for any indication of rubbing, scraping, or unevenness of the spinning rotor. The rotor should spin quietly, freely and evenly. A small amount of movement in and out (most household fractional horsepower types should be less than 1/8" or so) is permitted, but the closer to "none" the better. A motor that has bearing-related issues when run will be loud, overheat the bearings, and potentially fail catastrophically.
