Article in English: Usually, kebabs contain meat and/or vegetables, though seafood like  scallops, fruit, and other ingredients are also sometimes used. Choose a selection of ingredients that suit you - there's no "wrong" answer here. Popular choices for kebab meat are chicken, steak, pork, sausage, lamb, shrimp, and fish; for vegetables are onions, mushrooms, green or red peppers, courgette, and tomatoes; and for fruit are pineapples, peaches, or apples. While any combination of the ingredients above should work well, certain kebab dishes with set recipes can also be attempted. Many traditional kebab recipes use lamb as their main meat. Below are just a few traditional recipes and their key ingredients  Kofta kebabs - lamb pieces seasoned with many spices Chelow kebabs - boneless lamb served over saffron rice Sheekh kebabs - ground lamb seasoned with cilantro and mint and prepared in a tandoor (traditional Indian oven) If you plan to grill meat, you may want to prepare a marinade, though it's certainly not essential. Soaking your meat in a marinade before grilling can give it the flavor of your marinade ingredients, creating new taste combinations that wouldn't be possible with un-marinated meat. Typically, to marinate meat, the meat is put in an airtight container (like a ziplock bag) with, at the very least, oil and an acid (for instance, vegetable oil and lemon juice). Usually, additional seasonings and herbs are added to these base liquids to build more complex flavors. For example, here are the ingredients an all-purpose teriyaki marinade that's suitable for beef, chicken, and more: Vegetable oil Soy sauce Lemon juice Garlic Pepper Worcestershire sauce When it comes to kebab grilling, you generally have two options in terms of skewers - metal or wood/bamboo. The former are sturdier and more durable, but more expensive, while the latter are cheaper and more convenient. If you choose to use wooden or bamboo skewers, soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking. This will help keep them moist during...

Article in English: Usually, most women recognize that labor is starting when they feel that their “water broke”. This is when the amniotic membranes rupture spontaneously. This event triggers the start of uterine contractions. Keep track of the frequency of your contractions. Initially, you may experience them every 10 to 15 minutes, but over time this will reduce to ever 2 to 3 minutes.  Uterine contractions have been described as “cramping” , “ tightness in the abdomen” , “discomfort”, and a varying degree of pain, from mild to extreme. Uterine contractions in labor are measured by CTG (cardiotocography), with a device placed over the abdomen. This measures both uterine contractions and the fetal heart rate. An important distinction must be made between true contractions, and so-called “false”, or Braxton-Hicks contractions, which occur only a few times during the day, without any increase in intensity or frequency. They usually appear within the first 26 weeks of pregnancy, but they can also appear later on.  It is common for women to experience "false" contractions in the advanced pregnancy period, however these contractions can suddenly turn into labor contractions during the second pregnancy.  Therefore, when you are becoming a mom for the second time, do not take your Braxton-Hicks contractions lightly. It could be a sign of the actual labor. When you see that you have lost the mucus plug, you can expect that you’ll be in labor within a short span of time, usually within a few hours or a day or two.  There will be small blood stains when you lose the mucus plug. During a second pregnancy, women tend to lose their mucus plug much earlier compared to the first pregnancy.   The reason for this is that after the first pregnancy the muscles comprising the cervix are naturally looser than before and with all the rapid and frequent contractions, the cervix starts eroding at a faster rate than it did previously. You might see that your belly has drooped downwards and you can now breathe with ease. This is because the baby is...

Article in English: Usually, spending as little time as possible with the person is the best option. Limiting contact is especially wise if you’ve had a recent confrontation with them.  You might find the person is easier to tolerate in small doses. Don’t completely ignore them if you have to work with them on a project. If you have to work with them, keep your conversation professional. If you have to interact with the person you hate, show them respect and keep your emotions in check. You can’t control them or the things they do that upset you, but you can control your own behavior. For instance, if you hate them because they constantly criticize everyone around them, do your best to ignore it. Try brushing off their comments by saying, “Well, to each their own. Anyway, let’s get to work and finish up this project.” When you have to talk to them, focus on your work, be cordial, and stay professional. Don't make sarcastic remarks, insult them, or bring up your conflict. If they say something negative or annoying, ignore them and change the subject back to your work. For example, if you're paired with them on a project and they say something offensive, don't respond. Say, "Our deadline is coming up fast, so we should stay focused on finishing this." It might be tempting to engage them or correct an ignorant opinion, but it's not worth your time. If the person is creepy or clingy, they may try to touch you or arrange to spend lots of time with you, even if you don't want to. Clearly, politely, and firmly state your boundaries.   "Please don't touch me." "No, thanks. I have plans." "I'm not interested. Try asking someone else." "I asked you not to touch me. I need you to knock it off." It might seem counter-intuitive, but gradually spending more time with the person you hate could help you understand why they behave the way they do. Try getting to know them better by working on a project or doing an activity together.  Spending time with someone you hate could be helpful if there’s something about them that irks you. You might...

Article in English: Usually, the bacterial toxins enter the body through a break in the skin caused by an object contaminated with tetanus. If you have one or more of the following injuries or wounds that are prone to tetanus, you should get a tetanus booster shot. These include:  Any wound visibly contaminated with soil, dust, or horse manure. Puncture wounds. Objects that can cause these types of wounds include wood splinters, nails, needles, glass, and human or animal bites.  Skin burns. Second degree (partial-thickness or with blisters) and third degree (full-thickness) burns are at higher risk for infection than first degree (superficial) burns.  Crush injuries that damage tissue by squeezing it between two heavy objects. They can also happen when heavy objects are dropped onto parts of the body.  Wounds involving necrotic, or dead, tissue. This kind of tissue has no blood supply, increasing its risk for infection (along with severely compromised tissue). For example, areas of gangrene (dead body tissue) are at increased risk for infection.  Wounds with foreign objects in them. Wounds that have foreign bodies, such as splinters, glass shards, gravel, or other objects in them are at higher risk for infection. If you never received the first series of tetanus shots (primary vaccination series) or you're not sure when you had your last tetanus shot, you should go get a tetanus shot. If you've been injured, you may be wondering whether you need to get a tetanus booster shot. You will need a tetanus booster shot if:  Your wound was caused by a “clean” object, but your last tetanus shot was over 10 years ago. Your wound was caused by a “dirty” object and your last tetanus shot more than 5 years ago. You're not sure if the wound was caused by a “clean” or “dirty” object and your last tetanus shot was over 5 years ago. In order to help transfer tetanus antibodies to your baby, you should get a tetanus vaccine when you are between 27-36 weeks pregnant.  Your doctor will likely recommend the inactivated Tdap (Tetanus, Diptheria and...

Article in English: Usually, the best way to impress someone is by not trying too hard. Just be yourself - she’ll probably be able to tell if you’re trying to put on an act. While it’s normal to be nervous, just try to have fun when you talk to her. If you really want to impress her, give her a compliment that shows that you pay attention to her. Instead of dropping a stereotypical pick-up line, say something specific that shows you’ve noticed something unique about her. For example, if you saw her earlier that day, you could say, “I really like how you wore your hair today,” or “You made such a great point in history class - you’re definitely one of the smartest people I know!” Who likes chatting with people who only talk about themselves? Impress her by showing that you’d like to get to know her better. It’s fine to tell her things about yourself, especially if they relate to something she’s told you, but just try not to dominate the conversation.  You could ask about her hobbies, her favorite places to be, if she has siblings, or what songs and bands she couldn’t go without. Try to respond to her answer instead of asking one question after another as if you were interrogating her. For instance, if she said she loves the beach, you could say, “Me too, but only the ocean. No lakes for me!” Starting a deeper conversation will show her that you really care about understanding who she is as a person. After some small talk, or after you’ve had a few superficial conversations, try to find a topic that’s close to her heart. You could ask questions about her goals, passions, and dreams, like “What are three things you want to accomplish in life?” Try asking about the qualities she looks for or admires in a person, about her favorite childhood memory, or what the most important thing in the world is to her. Have patience and give her time to respond before sending another message. In addition, most people prefer one longer message instead of a bunch of messages with just a couple words. Keep the memes to a minimum, too. It’s one thing...

Article in English: Usually, this is an image that you want to enlarge, but it is too pixelated or low-resolution to use in its current form. You can also scan an image or drawing onto the computer using a scanner. If you are scanning an image into your computer, increase the contrast, so that it will be easier to trace.  Select “File” and “Place” to bring your photo or image into the program. Make sure your image covers a majority of your screen, so that you can work on it in detail. Lock the first image layer by clicking the little square lock. The image will stay in one place while you work on it. Click on your Pen tool. You are going to trace your image, so that it will create a sharp, vector image. Choose the weight of the line that fits the line you are going to draw. Lines that are in the foreground should be thicker, while lines in the background should be thinner. Always use black outlines and white backgrounds during this process. You can change the colors later. Click the second point at the end of a straight section to create a straight line. Create curved lines by clicking a second point and dragging the line until it matches the smooth curve of the image. Use the handles to adjust the Bezier curve. They can be adjusted indefinitely.  Remember that you want to create as few points as possible, while remaining as true to the shape as possible. This is a skill that will improve with practice. You can group these elements together later on. Fill in the colors when you are finished. You can add colors on the same layer or different layers. Save your file as a vector image, such as AI or EPS. Use this new vector image for scaling.

Article in English: Usually, this style of pudding must be served as soon as it has been baked, unless the recipe states otherwise. Many of the self-saucing puddings fall into the baked pudding category; these are puddings that form a sweet sauce over the "top" when turned out of the pudding basin.  The lemon delicious pudding is the self-saucing citrus pudding par excellence.  Chocolate bread pudding and other bread puddings are easy to make, and can be served hot or cold. American variations include New England's Indian pudding, and the Thanksgiving baked pumpkin pudding dish. There are many variations on fruit puddings. These apple recipes can be adapted to use pears or other fruits instead: apple pudding, apple raisin bread pudding, apple crunch pudding and apple and almond pudding. Steamed puddings require a bit more effort than most puddings but this also ensures that they are durable (long-lasting) puddings, making them suitable for Christmas pudding styles. Dried-fruit based puddings are most often steamed but fruit or vegetable based puddings can be steamed too. Other famous steamed puddings include ginger pudding, chocolate puddings, date pudding and college pudding.  If you're not familiar with Christmas pudding, have a go at this sweet dried fruit creation. Douse the result in brandy butter before eating. Sticky fig pudding, sticky date pudding and sticky date pudding are delicious and well-loved fruit puddings Such puddings can be served for afternoon tea or as a dessert following main course. Many milk- and cream-based pudding recipes are cold. In general, cold puddings tend to benefit from being a mold and need to be made well ahead of serving time.  Besides the summer pudding recipe included on this page, cold puddings include mousse, custard, rice pudding, or the old-fashioned syllabub. Custard and other cold puddings can be used to make a trifle, or British layered dessert. In the United States, the word "pudding" is usually reserved for cold, custard-like dishes.

Article in English: Usually, you do not need a tank heater to keep an axolotl tank sufficiently warm. The proper temperature for an axolotl hovers between 60° and 70° Fahrenheit (approximately 16°-21° Celsius). This is generally room temperature, so heating the tank should not be necessary.  However, make sure to adjust the temperature of the room that contains the tank if you live in an area prone to extreme heat or cold. You may need to keep an air conditioner or heater in the room during some months. Axolotls exposed to temperatures above 74° F (23° C) will develop heat stress. If your tank is prone to overheating, purchase a tank cooler. You can buy night-crawlers and frozen bloodworms at a local pet store or feed them earthworms from pesticide free soil. These should be the staples of your axolotl's diet. You can also provide frozen shrimp and bits of chicken for a treat. Avoid live fish as food due to parasites. Feed your axolotl every other day for half an hour. Provide the axolotl with as much food as it can eat in a half hour time frame. Once a week, remove 50 to 60% of the water from the tank. Then, replace it with fresh water. Tap water is safe to use if you condition the water and have a filtration system in place.

Article in English: Usually, you should leave an unpopped blister alone to prevent aggravating it and making the infection worse. But, if your blister is on a joint and places pressure on it, you may want to drain it. Draining the pus can relieve the pressure and reduce pain. Keep in mind that you'll need to monitor the blister and keep it bandaged and clean after you drain it. To prevent the spread of infection, wash your hands and clean the blister. Wipe the area around the blister with rubbing alcohol or an iodine solution to kill off any bacteria on the skin. You should also disinfect a needle by swabbing it with the rubbing alcohol or iodine solution or holding it in a flame for about a minute. Take the disinfected needle and pierce the skin at the base of the blister. This should be near the bottom of the blister. Make several holes so that the fluid can drain out of the blister. Avoid applying a lot of pressure which could cause the blister to burst open.  You might want to take a cotton ball or piece of gauze to dab or wipe up the fluid or pus that leaks out of the blister. Wash the infected area out with either hydrogen peroxide, saline or soap and water. Do not use alcohol or iodine as they will irritate the wound. Once you've drained the blister, you may notice that the overlying skin of the blister looks saggy. Don't pick at this skin which could damage the blister and make the infection worse. Instead, leave the overlying skin as intact as possible. Apply an antibiotic ointment to the drained blister. Since the wound is technically open, you need to apply a bandage. You could also tape a gauze pad onto the blister. Change the bandage or gauze pad every day so the blister has a chance to heal.  Always wash your hands before and after you change the dressing. Remove the dressing daily before bathing, and allow the water to clean it out in the shower. Pat it dry after the shower and reapply the bandage.

Article in English: VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. VNC allows you to remotely send keyboard and mouse input across a network or the internet from one computer to another and even view exactly what is on the screen of the other computer. This allows you to control a computer like you were sitting in front of it from another room, another building, or even another country depending on the setup. In the most basic of terms when you connect to a remote machine through VNC you see in a window the screen of the remote machine and you are able to control it as if you were sitting in front of it. Any actions taken through the window directly affect the remote machine. The Server: The VNC server is the computer whose screen you want to share, this computer runs the server software allowing other computers to connect and control it.  The Client: A VNC client is any computer connecting to and taking control of a server.  The Protocol: The protocol used is the method of communication between the client and the server. The protocol is determined by the software and generally the user cannot change it so for the purpose of this document it will suffice to say that it is there but you do not need to worry about it.

Article in English: Vaccinating your child against the flu each year is the absolute best way to protect your child. The vaccine generally protects against three to four common strains of flu virus. Because the virus is ever-changing, your child must get a flu shot every season  — a flu shot last season won't protect them this season.  You and the other members of your family should also get flu shots. Children between six months and eight years old may need two doses within 28 days of each other if it is the first time they have received the flu shot. Ask your doctor to find out if your child needs two doses. This will help him to reduce the number of times they are sick with the flu and teach them avoid passing it to others when they do get sick. Teach your child to wash their hands before eating, after going to the bathroom, and after blowing their nose, coughing, or sneezing. Direct them to use these steps when washing their hands:  Run their hands under the water. Lather their hands with soap and rub them together for at least 20 seconds. Remind them to clean between their fingers and under their fingernails. Rinse the soap and dirt off under running water. Hand sanitizers should be at least 60% alcohol to be effective. They can be used if you are in an area where soap and clean water are unavailable or when traveling.  Put a dollop in the palm of their hand. Teach them to rub their hands together until the sanitizer is spread all over their hands. They should keep rubbing until it dries. Teach them to avoid touching their nose, eyes or mouth if their hands are not clean. The nose, eyes, and mouth are entry points for flu viruses to enter the body. This is important for your child to learn so that they don't spread the flu when they have it. They should:  Sneeze or cough into a tissue and then throw the tissue in the garbage. Sneeze or cough into their elbow, and not on their hands. This will reduce the likelihood that they will spread the flu to others via their hands. Wash their hands if they sneeze or cough on them.

Article in English: Vacuum on a regular basis to suck up and kill any spiders or egg sacs in your home. Pay special attention to the cracks and corners in your home and remove any spiderwebs that you notice. Make sure to keep your storage in the basement, garage or attic well organized and clutter-free. Regularly wipe down your shutters, caulk all cracks, and put weather strips on your doors. Make sure to de-clutter piles of rocks, wood, or compost around your home so that your yard is a less appealing environment to spiders. Dissolve regular table salt in warm water, put the solution in a spray bottle, and spray the plants surrounding the outside of your home to keep spiders away. You can also mix water with lavender, cinnamon, citrus, tea tree, or peppermint oil and spray it in problem areas to repel and even kill spiders from a distance. Bugs will be less drawn to your home if you keep the exterior lights off. Because of this, you can cut spiders’ food supply with just the flick of a switch. Replace your lights with sodium vapor lights or yellow lights as an alternative. These types of lights are much less attractive to bugs.

Article in English: Vacuum over any flea-affected areas, including high-traffic areas where the pets usually roam. Be sure to move furniture and vacuum underneath it, and also vacuum rugs and out-of-the-way sections of carpet. Then, vacuum off any upholstered furniture as well. Most fleas will not be able to survive a good vacuum!  People often go for high-powered, super-suction vacuums, but the average vacuum should do the trick perfectly.  Always discard the vacuum bag after you vacuum. This will help discourage re-infestation. Pour the water and detergent mixture in a very shallow bowl, low enough to the ground so that the fleas could accidentally hop into it. Then, place the mixture next to a low-hanging light source, preferably a night-light. The fleas are attracted to the light. Approaching the light, many of them will fall into the mixture and die in the process.  The water and dish detergent mixture is like a toxic swimming pool for fleas. When they jump into the mixture, they die. If you don’t have a shallow bowl, an old Frisbee does the job quite well. Thinly slice one whole lemon and drop it into a pint of water. Bring the water to a boil. Then, let the solution stand overnight for maximum potency. Pour into a spray bottle and spray onto affected areas. A slice of a different citrus fruit—e.g., orange, lime, or grapefruit—should work as well. Place cedar chips in the corners of rooms, in the dog pen or bed, and under furniture. You can also place cedar chips in a cotton cloth between the cushions on your furniture, underneath your pillow and, if possible, in your bedding. This will ensure that your bed remains pest-free. Fleas hate the smell of cedar and will do almost anything to avoid it. Cedar chips are available in your local pet or home-supply store. Make sure your pet isn't allergic to cedar. Many dogs can be allergic to cedar. If your dog has an allergic reaction to the cedar—e.g., sneezing or swollen eyes—stop using the cedar chips. Salt is a desiccant, meaning it saps the moisture from things and dries them...

Article in English: Vacuum sealers work great for storing beef jerky because you can remove all of the air from the packaging. Air decreases the quality and freshness of the jerky over time. To use the vacuum sealer, fill the vacuum bag with your jerky, fold the edge over, and place the edge inside the sealer. Press the "Vacuum sealer" button to extract the air.  Once your jerky is vacuum sealed, it can stay fresh for over 1 year in the freezer. Turn off the machine once no air remains in your package.

Article in English: Vacuuming your car seats can help keep them clean. Vacuuming up debris and dirt can help prevent things from getting stuck in the upholstery. Consider getting your car vacuumed every one to two weeks, depending on how much dirt is inside. Another way to help avoid stains on your cloth car seats is to clean up any spills as soon as they happen. You should also deal with debris that causes stains immediately, like mud, blood, or grease.  As soon as a spill occurs, use a towel or cloth to soak up the mess. If something like mud, food, or makeup gets on your seats, clean it with a fabric cleaner as soon as you get home. If you are concerned about stains on your cloth seats, consider setting car rules about what you allow in your car. For example, you may not allow people to eat in your car, and only drink beverages that have a lid. If someone has mud or dirt on their shoes, you may ask them to remove them and place them in the trunk or in a plastic bag.

Article in English: Vacuuming your carpet is probably the easiest and best way to keep it clean. Invest in a high quality vacuum that is designed for use on carpets. Look for an upright model with a big canister and a beater-bar head. The motor should have enough power to suck up dirt, sand, and debris in the carpet. Look for high quality vacuums online or in stores. If you are shopping in stores, try several models with a salesperson and ask them for recommendations on high quality vacuums in your price range. Designate one day a week as vacuum day for the carpets. Do a thorough vacuum of the carpets at least once a week to remove dirt and oil. Often, dirt is the main cause of smells and discoloration that develops on carpets. For example, you may vacuum the carpets every Sunday. Let others in your household know it is vacuum day and do a good clean of the carpeting in your home. Try to vacuum any high traffic areas of the carpet once a day, preferably at the end of the day. This will keep these areas clean and maintained, especially if they are walked on often. Areas like the living room, the bedroom, and by any doors in your home are usually walked on a lot in the course of a day. For example, you may keep a small handheld vacuum on hand to do these areas quickly before going to bed at night.

Article in English: Vaginal dryness has a number of causes. If your vaginal dryness came on suddenly, you should see your gynecologist to rule out medical causes.  Usually, the cause of vaginal dryness is benign. Menopause, childbirth, and breastfeeding can all alter hormonal levels and cause dryness. However, occasionally vaginal dryness is caused by more serious problems like certain cancers and immune disorders. This is why it's important to see a doctor quickly if you notice any changes as for these types of diseases early intervention is important.  Sjogren's Syndrome is an autoimmune disease in which your body's immune system attacks healthy tissues. In can lead to vaginal dryness, in addition to other symptoms like dry eyes and a dry mouth. Your doctor can perform a blood test to see if you have Sjogren's Syndrome. If you're entering menopause, hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) can ease many symptoms including vaginal dryness.  Not only can hormone replacement therapy improve vaginal dryness, it can help with other symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes. Usually, you would wear a patch or take oral tablets of low doses of estrogen and other hormones that your body produces less of as you enter menopause.  Hormone replace therapy does carry some risks. Oral combined hormone pills that contain estrogen and progesterone have shown to increase the risk of breast cancer,  heart attack, and stroke. Talk to your doctor about these risk factors and how they might apply to you. An estrogen ring is a form of hormone replacement therapy that many women find easier to use than pills. Your gynecologist inserts a small, flexible ring into the upper part of your vagina. The ring will release doses of estrogen on a regular schedule. It will need to be replaced every three months. Oftentimes, vaginal dryness is a side effect of existing medication. Decongestants especially, found in many cold or allergy medications, can lead to vaginal dryness. If you believe your dryness is caused by your medications, talk to your doctor about...

Article in English: Vaginal itching can be a symptom of any number of sexually transmitted diseases. If you experience any of the following symptoms, or if you have any other reason to believe that you have been exposed to a sexually transmitted disease, see a doctor right away. Keep in mind that it is possible to have an STD even if you do not have any symptoms.  Trichomoniasis usually causes redness, a strong vaginal odor, and a yellow-green vaginal discharge, Chlamydia usually has no symptoms, but it may cause abnormal bleeding, vaginal discharge, and abdominal pain. Gonorrhea usually causes a thick, cloudy or bloody vaginal discharge, abnormal vaginal bleeding, anal itching, and painful urination. Herpes usually causes red bumps, blisters, or sores around the genital area. HPV or genital warts usually causes small, flesh-colored warts to appear near the genitals, which may appear in groups. If you have an STD, you will need to see a doctor for medical treatment. Some STDs can lead to serious complications if left untreated, so it's very important to see a doctor right away and take your medications as directed.  Gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and trichomoniasis can all be treated with antibiotics. Depending on the infection, your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics or may give you an injection. HPV cannot be cured, but your doctor may be able to offer you treatments that can reduce the occurrence of genital warts. Herpes can be suppressed with antiviral drugs, which may help reduce outbreaks, but there is no cure and no way to guarantee that an infected person will not transmit the disease to others. The best way to avoid coming in contact with sexually transmitted diseases is to practice safe sex.  You will be safest from STDs if you are not sexually active or if you have one exclusive sexual partner who does not have an STD. If you have multiple partners, protect yourself from infection by using condoms whenever you have sex.

Article in English: Value how your wife feels about the situation and get an understanding of how if affects her. If she is bothered by the stares, discuss whether or not you should intervene on her behalf.  If you have addressed this issue in the past, then you may already know how your wife feels about the attention that she receives. If this is the case, make a decision in advance on how you will respond so that you do not overreact. If your wife does not recognize the problem, then maybe there isn't one and you can just enjoy your day and time together. Demonstrate that you are a couple by holding her hand or linking arms to show that she is not just a friend.  Showing affection with a kiss on the lips is a great way to demonstrate that you are in a relationship. Your wife is probably proud of you and appreciates it when you show affection to let others know that you are together. This can also apply to a situation where someone is staring at you and you want to demonstrate that you are taken. It works both ways. Sometimes when a man finds a woman attractive, he does not take the time to look at her ring finger because he is focused on admiring her beauty. If either you, your wife, or both of you discreetly flash your wedding rings, that will eliminate any question about whether or not you are married. Let the other guy know that you see him looking at your wife. If at a restaurant, for example, look at the guy who is looking at your wife to show him that you are uncomfortable with his actions. Another way to use eye contact is to gaze into your wife’s eyes to demonstrate that you have a connection that the outside world cannot touch. This approach can also be used if you have an admirer staring at you. Politely ask the offender to stop staring at your wife. Tell him that you would appreciate it if he showed you and her a little respect. Most decent people will stop staring at this point.  Encourage your wife to share her opinion with the person staring, but only if she chooses to say something. She can do this without...

Article in English: Values are both important and personal, but few people actually choose their own values. Instead, most people follow the values that were learned in childhood. To deconstruct your values, think about your childhood and determine what values you absorbed.  Think about specific values. For example, did your parents value religion, education, or wealth? How much did that impact your formative years? Consider asking your parents to discuss their values with you. Ask them what they considered to be the family values, and ask how they integrated them into your development. Once you have thought about your earlier values, take some time to consider whether you have retained the same ideas throughout your life. Reflect on the major decisions you have made in your life. Does your family life reflect the values you originally had? Or have you evolved as you've gotten older? Questions such as these can help you define your values.  You can also reflect on your career choice. For example, if fighting for social justice is a core value of yours, have you chosen a career path, such as social work, that integrates that value? One way to figure out what your values are is to examine how you spend your money. Does most of it go towards entertainment? Travel? Or do you give a lot to charities or political causes? Make a list of all of the values that are important to you. This is a great way for all of your family members to think about values. Ask each family member who can write to make a list. Your family can then rank the values on each list to help you define which are the most important to all of you.  Common values include: honesty, balance, caring, generosity, health, humor, learning, wisdom, leadership, and compassion. Think about your family as you consider values such as cooperation, financial stability, humility, and patience. Try thinking about the values in terms of categories. For example, your categories could include: Personality, Career, Family, Friends, Health. Try looking at the list of values and figuring...

Article in English: Valves for the supply of hot and cold water are usually located behind the washing machine and in a washer box attached to the wall. Turn off the valves by turning them clockwise until they cannot be turned any further. You'll want to turn these off first thing. This will protect you from major spills if you should accidentally tear a hose in step 2. If working alone, grab one side and move it forward, then do the same with the other side. If you have help, try pulling on opposite sides simultaneously.  Pull the machine as far out as you can without putting stress on the hoses. Ideally, this will be far enough away from the wall that you can step behind the machine.  If your house is on the newer side, some new water boxes are above the washer so it's easier to reach the lines without moving the machine. Make sure the washing machine is not running, and pull the plug out of the outlet. This will disconnect the washing machine from its power supply. Place a water pan  or bucket behind the washing machine, under the water lines where it will catch water. Surround the bucket with several towels to catch any additional leaks or water that may spill out when the pipes are detached. If they are attached with clamps, turn the screws atop the clamps counterclockwise until the clamps are loose. Then, point the ends of the hoses toward your bucket to drain any water. Alternatively, you can place them in the drain, located in the washer box.  It's a good idea to double-check that your valves are still off before doing this. Some styles of faucet handles are easy to accidentally turn back on, and this could have occurred as you moved the machine or when you stepped behind it.  You may find it helpful to wait a few seconds after turning off the valves to try to remove the hoses, as this will allow the pressure in the hoses to abate, making them easier to remove.  Turning on a few other faucets in the house may help them drain more quickly. You may need to use adjustable pliers or a pipe wrench to loosen the hoses,...

Article in English: Vampires are supposedly undead and only come out at night. This means their skin is usually paler than the average color of human skin. For a paler complexion, apply a foundation that is lighter than your skin tone. Use a foundation that is one or two shades paler than your skin.  Foundation makeup typically comes in a variety of thicknesses and styles, including powder or cream. For vampire purposes use the thicker foundation. Apply foundation in the center of your face and work toward your jawline. Blend using your fingers or a brush, according to the foundation you're using. If you have a dark complexion, don't worry! Vampires can have all different sorts of skin tones. Just remember that you're supposed to keep out of the sun, so you want to avoid looking like you have a dark tan. Vampires are dramatic and nocturnal looking. They also can be hundreds of years old. You want to look like you might have seen things nobody could possibly have seen. To pull this off, use dark eyeliner and possibly shadow to pull off the right look.   Apply eyeliner and use a small amount of dark purple eye shadow with black mascara. This will help your eyes "pop" a little more than normal, giving you a dramatic look. Light red eye shadow around the eyes is also good. This hints at the connotations of you looking undead or bloody. For a more dramatic look, use darker eye shadow on the top of your eyes, and lighter eye shadow underneath your eyes. The lips are usually the most vibrant part of vampire makeup. Depending on your complexion and intended look, use somewhere between a bright red and blood red. Go for a basic matte style. If preferred, use lip gloss instead of lipstick.

Article in English: Vanilla beans are produced in many different countries, and there are several dozen varieties to choose from. They each have a different flavor profile.  Bourbon vanilla beans are fruity, with hints of figs and persimmon.  Madagascar vanilla beans are full-bodied, with a hint of tobacco. They have a higher vanilla content than other beans, making them a flavorful choice.  Mexican vanilla beans are smooth and creamy. Tahitian vanilla beans have a floral scent. Indian vanilla beans are dark and oily with hints of cinnamon and other spices. Buy whole vanilla beans from gourmet food stores. You can also buy them online if you want a bigger selection to choose from.  The vanilla beans you buy should be dark and moist with oils. They should feel dense when you pinch them with your fingers, and they should emit a strong vanilla smell. Don't use vanilla beans that are light in color, dry or crumbly. If you're unsure whether one is still usable, wrap it around your finger. If it bends easily and stays together, it's fine to use. If it falls apart, don't use it to make extract.

Article in English: Vanilla beans are susceptible to air and can dry out if they are left unwrapped. To prevent the vanilla bean from becoming brittle, you should wrap the bean in tin foil and seal it in a zip-lock bag. You can then store it in a cool, dark spot in your kitchen.  Do not store vanilla bean in your refrigerator or your freezer, as these spots are too cold for the bean and can in fact dry it out. Instead, look for a spot in a low cupboard to store the bean. Vanilla beans that are stored properly will last for several weeks. If your vanilla bean starts to dry out or appear brittle, you can revive it by immersing it in a pot of boiling water for several minutes. This should help to plump up the beans and bring it back to its original shape and texture. If you are planning to use fresh vanilla bean seeds for baking or cooking, you should aim to use up the vanilla beans within two to three weeks. After this time, the beans will start to dry out, even if they are stored properly in a cool, dark place.

Article in English: Vanilla orchids require a tropical environment, so you will need sunlight, heat, space, and humidity for the plants to grow. Choose a location with morning sun and build the structure yourself or from a greenhouse kit. Cover the structure with UV-stabilized polyethylene or fiberglass or add glass panels. If you live in a tropical climate, you may be able to cultivate vanilla outside. Check the temperature and humidity of your environment to determine if the conditions are suitable for a vanilla orchid. Vanilla orchids will thrive in climates with daytime temperatures between 80–85 °F (27–29 °C). At night, temperatures should remain between 65–75 °F (18–24 °C). To decrease the temperature in a greenhouse, you can open vents or turn on fans. To increase the temperature in a greenhouse, you can add heat lamps or a heater. Vanilla orchids need high humidity levels to grow properly. Use a hygrometer to measure the humidity in the greenhouse or planting location. If it is below 85%, add a humidifier to the area. If the humidity is above 85%, use a dehumidifier to reduce the humidity.

Article in English: Vanity presses are a pejorative term for smaller-scale publishing houses in which authors have to pay to have their works published. Mainstream publishers have to recoup money by selling copies of books; vanity presses recoup money by fees that the author has to pay him or herself. Vanity presses are typically a lot less selective than mainstream publishers and therefore confer far less prestige. That is, unless the author has an overwhelming desire to publish and cannot publish using another method. Vanity presses market themselves as traditional or subsidy publishers, but charge high fees and do very little or no marketing/distribution for you. They don't make selections for the most part, and take whatever comes their way. The single advantage of going through a vanity press is seeing a physical copy of your book out there. POD should give you the same result, however, and so many serious authors avoid vanity presses like the plague. Subsidy publishers are nearly identical to vanity presses. They are not as selective as traditional publishers, but work in a similar manner in that they reject manuscripts often. However, they charge the author for binding and publishing; the upside is that they contribute to marketing and distribution, and publish under their name. Authors tend to have limited control over design and such, although they could receive royalties.

Article in English: Vans make all kinds of shoes of different materials, including leather, which would be ruined by getting them wet. Look at the shoe's tag to determine whether or not the shoes are canvas or another synthetic material. If you own leather or suede Vans, you should use the same cleaning directions as you would use with other leather shoes. You should not dip them in water or use laundry detergent to clean them. If you've stepped in some serious mud, or gotten oil or grease on your shoes, use an enzymatic stain remover, or another commercial product of your choice to lift the stain before the wash. Apply to the stains in question and let the shoes sit for a while, while you prepare the washer. You want to use the gentlest and coolest setting on your washer, both for the safety of the shoes and the washer itself. It's not generally great to have shoes banging around in a washing machine, but it should be fine, done properly. Many people fear the glue and seams of Vans coming loose when placed in the washing machine. If you place the vans in a pillowcase beforehand, however, and include the shoes in a wash with other soiled items, like bath towels, or small rugs, it'll be a good way to keep everything padded, and from bouncing around too much. Your Vans should be fine.  It's not generally recommended that you wash shoes in the washing machine more than once every six months or so, or you'll risk damaging the shoes. If you're concerned about the liners or inserts in your Vans, it's usually best to remove them entirely from the shoe and replace after washing, or replace with new inserts. Make sure to use mild detergent for machine washing as well as hand washing and add the shoes in the pillowcase with the rest of the wash. To cut down on the amount of time you soak the shoes, wait until the load is half-full, if you're using a top-loading washing machine. The shoes will still get plenty clean, but won't sit for quite so long. Don't put shoes in the dryer. This can dry out the canvas as well as the soles, resulting...

Article in English: Variables allow you to store data, either from computations in the program or from user input. Variables need to be defined before you can use them, and there are several types to choose from.       Some of the more common variable types include int, char, and float. Each one stores a different type of data. Variables need to be established, or "declared", before they can be used by the program. You declare a variable by entering the data type followed by the variable's name. For example, the following are all valid variable declarations:   float x; char name; int a, b, c, d;    Note that you can declare multiple variables on the same line, as long as they are the same type. Simply separate the variable names with commas. Like many lines in C, each variable declaration line needs to end with a semicolon. Variables must be declared at the beginning of each code block (The parts of your code that are enclosed in {} brackets). If you try to declare a variable later in the block, the program will not function correctly. Now that you know the basics of how variables work, you can write a simple program that will store the user's input. You will be using another function in the program, called scanf. This function searches the input that is provided for specific values.   #include <stdio.h>  int main() {   int x;    printf( "Enter a number: " );   scanf( "%d", &x );   printf( "You entered %d", x );   getchar();   return 0; }    The "%d" string tells scanf to look for integers in the user input. The & before the variable x tells scanf where to find the variable in order to change it, and stores the integer in the variable. The final printf command reads back the input integer to the user. You can use mathematical expressions to manipulate the data that you have stored in your variables. The most important distinction to remember for mathematical expressions is that a single = sets the value of the variable, while == compares the values on either side to see if they are equal.   x = 3 * 4; /* sets "x" to 3 * 4, or 12...

Article in English: Varicose veins don’t usually cause serious health problems. However, they can cause discomfort, pain, and embarrassment. You may want your doctor to help you manage your varicose veins, even if they don’t pose a health hazard. Common symptoms of varicose veins include:  Aches and pain in the legs Throbbing or cramping Feelings of heaviness or swelling in the legs Itchy, irritated, or darkened skin Fidgety or restless legs While most varicose veins do not pose a serious health threat, sometimes they can lead to issues you should seek medical help for.

Consult with your doctor about your options.   Sclerotherapy. This is the most common treatment for varicose veins. Sclerotherapy involves injecting chemicals into the varicose vein, which causes it to swell and then seal shut. After a few weeks, the vein turns into scar tissue and then fades. This procedure can usually be done right in your doctor’s office.  Laser surgery. This is a less common technique, because not all skin types and colors can be treated safely this way. It is also usually not effective for veins larger than 3 millimeters (1/10 of an inch).  Endovenous techniques. These treatments are designed for deeper or severe varicose veins. They are usually done under local anesthesia in your doctor’s office.  Surgery. Surgeries are usually reserved to treat very large or very severe varicose veins. Consult with your doctor to consider whether surgical treatments are right for you.

Article in English: Various conditions can develop in the vagina. One symptom of many conditions is vaginal burning. Some of these conditions are serious and others are minor. The following conditions can affect the vagina and cause burning:  Vaginitis or inflammation of the vagina. Vaginitis is often accompanied by symptoms of burning, itching, and discharge, often with a changed odor. Vaginitis is commonly caused by yeast or bacterial infections. Infections caused by bacteria, like gonorrhea Fungus, like yeast infections such as Candida  Viruses, like genital warts caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) and genital herpes caused by herpes simplex virus Parasites causing trichomoniasis and chlamydia Cancer of the vagina Vaginal prolapse Vaginal burning is commonly caused by infections, irritation from a tampon or douching, using vaginal hygiene products, diabetes, urinary tract infections, and by normal changes in hormonal levels. Determine if your vaginal burning may be from tampon usage, a recent douching, or use of other vaginal hygiene products.  If you think the cause may be medical, the specific cause can be determined by a pelvic exam, microscopic examination of any vaginal discharge and vaginal swabs, taking a culture of vaginal organisms to determine the cause of an infection, or taking a Pap smear. In rarer cases, you may need a colposcopy to closely examine the vaginal walls or cervix, or a vaginal biopsy. If you have previously had a vaginal yeast infection and are certain that what you are experiencing is another yeast infection, you can use over-the-counter treatments that are available in most drug stores to treat the yeast infection.  If there is no relief within three to five days, make an appointment with your doctor or OB/GYN. Some untreated infections can cause serious consequences, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and sterility.

The moisture will help the scab to soften and allow new skin to grow over the scab, healing the wound and the scab. Dab a small amount of Vaseline on the scab throughout the day to keep it moist. Over a few days, it should soften and fade away or peel off on its own. Honey contains antibacterial properties and can speed up healing. Put a small amount of medical grade honey on the scab to help it heal faster. You can find medical grade honey online or at your local drugstore. Tea tree oil is a great natural oil for treating scabs. It can speed up the healing process and prevent the scab from leaving a scar. Apply tea tree oil to the scab once to twice a day.

Article in English: Vegans are all vegetarians, but not all vegetarians are vegans. A vegetarian diet cuts out all meat products — beef, poultry, sometimes fish, and so on — but a vegan diet eliminates all animal and animal-based food products. This means vegans do not eat dairy products (such as milk, yogurt, butter, cheese) and eggs. Vegans therefore base their diets around nutrient-rich plants. The diet of a vegan is more restrictive, and therefore more of a challenge to get complete nutrition (although of course, it is possible), and for underweight individuals, may make it a bit more difficult to gain weight. A calorie is a unit of energy in food that, when consumed, is either used to fuel the body's activities or is stored as fat. When trying to lose weight, you want a calorie deficit, meaning you burn more calories through activity than you take in through food. To gain weight, you do the opposite: eat more calories than you burn in the course of a day. A vegetarian diet offers many calorie-rich options that will help you increase caloric intake without having to cut down on the exercise or activity that keeps you healthy.  One pound of fat is equal to 3,500 calories. For every 3,500 calories you take in without burning them off, you will gain one pound of weight. Your calorie needs will depend on your age, sex, and height. Use an online calorie calculator to find out how many calories you should be consuming on a daily basis.   Since you are trying to gain weight, eat slightly more than that amount every day — but don't go crazy! Eat about 500 extra calories per day to add up to 3,500 calories by the end of the week. At this rate, you will gain one pound per week. The most obvious way to gain weight is to eat unhealthy, fatty vegan options like French fries or sugary pastries. But this is typically not what a person who is underweight actually needs. While there is plenty of fat and  calories, these foods are lacking in nutrients such as protein, calcium, fiber, and other important needs for a healthy body.   Snack...

Article in English: Vegetable oils like sunflower, safflower, "light" olive oil and canola are suitable. These oils are ideal because of their chemistry and high smoke point - they will produce the hardest temper.  Shortening and lard can also help you successfully cure cast iron. Shortening or lard might work best while curing. It's important to not warm the cookware so much that it makes it unable to be touched. Warming up your cookware before the application of oil or shortening can make the application easier. You can do this by placing a bit of oil or shortening onto a cloth or paper towel and rubbing it across the cookware's surface. Be sure to cover all sides of the cookware, including the exterior parts. The cast iron cookware should look as if all the oil or shortening has been wiped away. In reality, a thin coat will remain on the cookware, and this layer will cure the cookware. Each method is explained following.

This antioxidant is often associated with Vitamin A as it is a precursor to becoming Vitamin A in your body.  Adequate intakes are also associated with a decreased rate of colon cancer. Include a one cup serving of any of these colored vegetables.  You can try:  red, yellow and orange bell peppers, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, butternut squash and carrots. Another group of foods that can help protect your colon and resist the formation of polyps are folate-rich foods.  Luckily, folate can be found in a wide variety of foods.  Studies have shown that an intake of 400 IU of folate every day can help prevent the formation of polyps but also helps prevent colon cancer as well.  400 IU of folate is easily consumed if you eat a balanced diet and focus on folate-rich foods. Specific foods that are high in folate include:  fortified breakfast cereals, spinach, black-eyed peas, asparagus, broccoli, green peas, whole wheat bread and peanuts. Calcium is another commonly found mineral that has been shown to prevent the formation of colon polyps.  Including regular servings of foods high in calcium can help protect your colon.  One study in particular showed that those people who consumed 1200 mg of calcium daily (which you can get from three servings of calcium-rich foods), had a 20% less recurrence of cancerous colon polyps.  Calcium is found most commonly in dairy foods.  You can have milk, yogurt, kefir, cheese or cottage cheese to get in an adequate serving of calcium. In addition, calcium is found in other plant-based foods outside of the dairy group.  Almonds, broccoli, dark...

Article in English: Vegetables are high in a variety of nutrients that can keep your body healthy.  However, they're also high in fiber which can help protect your colon.  Fiber is essential to keeping your bowels moving at a healthy speed.  When your bowel transit is slow, you increase your risk for colon polyps and cancer.  To meet your recommended fiber intake, include three to five servings of vegetables everyday.  Measure out one cup of vegetables or two cups of salad greens.  Vegetables that are particularly high in fiber include:  artichokes, asparagus, avocado, sweet potatoes, bean sprouts, dark greens, beets, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage. Fruits are also high in a variety of nutrients.  Some fruits are also exceptionally high in fiber which can help you increase your overall fiber intake.  Include one to two servings of fruits everyday.  Measure out the appropriate portion.  You can choose one small piece of fruit or measure out 1/2 cup of of chopped fruit.  Fruit that is particularly high in fiber include:  apples, apricots, berries, bananas, cantaloupe, oranges and coconut. One specific group of foods that are also known for being very high in fiber are grains.  However, choose 100% whole grains over the refined grains for the most nutrient dense choice.  Whenever you choose to eat grains (like bread, rice or pasta), go for 100% whole grains.  These foods are less processed and much higher in fiber compared to refined grains (like white rice or white bread).  Include two to three servings of whole grains every day.  Measure these out to 1/2 cup of cooked grains or 2 oz per serving.  Choose foods like:  brown rice, quinoa, oatmeal, whole wheat bread, whole grain pasta, millet, farro or barley. You might not think that many protein foods are high in fiber.  But vegetarian sources of protein do offer a decent amount of fiber per serving.  Legumes are not only high in protein, but are also very high in fiber.  These are a great food group to add to your diet to help increase your overall fiber intake. Legumes are a...

Article in English: Vegetables are relatively low in calories and contain lots of vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber to keep you healthy and satisfied. Try to eat around 2 to 3 cups of vegetables per day. Go to https://www.choosemyplate.gov/vegetables to see the 1 cup value of different types of cooked and raw vegetables. Try to eat all kinds of colors to get a wide variety of nutrients! Start your meals with vegetables and greens before moving onto more calorically dense foods like proteins and carbohydrates. That way, you’ll feel fuller on fewer calories. Increasing lean muscle mass can lead to burning more calories throughout the day. Sources of lean protein include fish, poultry, beans and lentils, and egg whites. Dedicate 15% to 20% of your daily calorie intake to lean proteins.  Some red meats are lean because they've had the fat removed. Look for these at the grocery store. Non-meat sources of protein that support muscle growth your muscles are tofu, tempeh, and seitan. You can also add protein powders to smoothies or drinks in order to ensure you get enough protein in your diet as a vegan or vegetarian. Swap refined white carbs (like white bread and rice) for whole-grain varieties (like whole-grain wheat bread and brown rice). Whole-grain carbohydrates also contain fiber that will keep you feeling fuller longer.  It’s recommended to eat 300 grams of carbohydrates per day for a 2,000 calorie diet (45% to 65% of your total caloric intake), but to lose more weight in less time, cut it down to around 50 to 150 grams per day.  In the coming weeks, substitute sandwich breads with lettuce wraps]] and pastas with zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash to lower your carbohydrate intake. For the next 3 weeks, you’ll need to feel satiated from eating fewer calories, so don’t shy away from fats! Fats tell your brain that you’re full and they also contain omega 3 fatty acids that help your body burn fat. Just make sure you’re eating healthy fats—Instead of cooking with butter and lard, choose healthy options like coconut or olive oil. ...

Прежде всего обогатите свой рацион овощами. Употребляйте нежирные белковые продукты при каждом приеме пищи. Снизьте потребление углеводов и отдавайте предпочтение продуктам из цельных зерен, в которых содержатся пищевые волокна. Выбирайте полезные мононенасыщенные жиры, например кокосовое и оливковое масло. Перекусывайте лишь в тех случаях, когда голодны, и отдавайте предпочтение свежей пище. Утоляйте жажду низкокалорийными напитками. Снизьте потребление натрия в течение следующих трех недель. Позволяйте себе раз в неделю (или реже) расслабиться и контролируйте размеры порций.


Article in English: Veggies should make up the bulk of your diet because they are low-calorie and contain lots of essential nutrients to keep you healthy. Many experts recommend at least 4 servings of vegetables per day, but if you want to lose weight then you'll need to eat more than that. By planning meals around a generous portion of non-starchy vegetables, you'll feel full without eating too much. Non-starchy vegetables include cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, zucchini, lettuces, asparagus, and lots of other delicious foods that can all be prepared in many different ways so you won't get bored of them. Lean proteins include chicken and eggs, white fish (like salmon and tuna), some cuts of beef, and legumes. Proteins are important for weight loss because eating them helps your body to build lean muscle and boosts your metabolism.  A good rule of thumb to remember is that a single serving of most meats is about the same size as your palm. If you don't eat meat, there are lots of plant-based meat alternatives available that are even healthier options! Look for them in the frozen section of your grocery store. Many studies show that if you want to see quicker weight loss results from a diet, you should follow a low-carb diet. Instead of eliminating all carbs, however, you can focus on cutting out refined carbs and processed sugars and eating whole grains and plenty of fiber. This category of food should make up the smallest portion of every meal, just one serving or about 1/4 of the plate.  Healthy carbs can be found in fruits, legumes (like chickpeas, lentils, and black beans), whole grains (like oats, brown rice, quinoa, or whole-wheat breads and pastas), and starchy vegetables. Stick to the proper serving sizes of the different types of carbs. Make sure to look at the nutrition label on your foods and measure them properly before eating. Toppings for your favorite foods often are sneaky ways that calories and carbs show up in meals. One tablespoon of mayonnaise, for example, can have up to 90 calories! Restock your kitchen...

Article in English: Veins carry blood from your legs, arms, and other parts of your body back to your heart. As your body ages, the valves in your veins weaken, and blood can collect and cause your veins to enlarge and become more visible. This is especially true of veins in the legs and ankles, which have to work against gravity to carry blood up to the heart.  Spider veins affect at least half of adults age 50 and older.  Spider veins are similar to varicose veins, which appear on the legs as people grow older for the same reasons that spider veins do. About half of people who have spider veins have relatives who also have them. This means that while spider veins can be prevented to some degree, in some cases they may be unavoidable. Since the veins of a pregnant woman are under a greater amount of pressure than usual, spider veins may appear, especially on the legs and ankles.  Spider veins caused by pregnancy usually fade a few months after the baby is born. Subsequent pregnancies usually lead to the appearance of more spider veins. Sitting for long periods of time is detrimental to circulation, making it harder for veins in the legs to carry blood up to the heart. This extra strain causes spider veins to appear. Having extra weight puts strain on veins, since the veins must work harder to carry blood to the heart. The veins close to the surface of the face can weaken and become more visible, especially on people with fair skin.

Article in English: Velvet can become easily damaged when it’s wet. If your velvet shoes have some mud on them, it’s best to try to clean them once they’re no longer wet. Wait for the shoes to air dry completely before you try to remove any mud or dirt. When your velvet shoes are totally dry, take a soft, clean, dry cloth and try to wipe away the dirt or dust that’s on the shoes. If this doesn’t work, you may have a bit more luck with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Either way, make sure you wipe or brush the velvet carefully in the same direction so that you don’t accidentally damage it. To keep dirt and dust from getting caked onto your shoes, brush the velvet lightly with a clothing brush or a soft-bristled toothbrush after each time you wear your shoes. This will help keep the dirt and dust to a minimum, and should also prevent the velvet from becoming crushed.

Article in English: Venetian plaster comes in two varieties: synthetic and lime-based. Which one you use will depend on your budget and level of expertise.  Lime-based plasters are true Venetian plasters. These plasters will, over time, turn to stone. Unlike the "faux-finish" of synthetic plasters, they are durable and retain their beauty longer. On the other hand, true Venetian plaster is harder to come by, more expensive, and more challenging to work with.  Lime-based Venetian plasters are natural and considered more environmentally friendly than synthetics. They are also naturally resistant to molds and mildews.  Lime-based plaster comes in many different colors, and you can also tint it yourself with a lime-based tint. Synthetic Venetian plaster is an acrylic-based substitute available at any home improvement store. It will result in a similar look to the traditional lime-based plaster and is less expensive. However, synthetic plaster does not have the life of traditional Venetian plaster. It is more easily damaged and harder to touch up.  Synthetic plaster comes in many different colors and is thought to take vibrant colors better than lime-based Venetian plaster. To protect the floor in your work area, it is a good idea to lay down tarps, just as you would if you were painting. Do not users painter's tape to protect molding or other walls you are not plastering. Plaster is not paint. It may bond to the tape and crack or flake when the tape is removed. This is especially true if you are working with lime-based plaster. Fill any holes or dimples in the wall, otherwise, they may show through your finished work.  If the wall you plan to plaster has a very bumpy surface, you may need to sand the wall in its entirety or even scrape it with a putty knife. If using synthetic plaster, you can also fill holes in the wall with plaster as you go. Using a paint roller, spread the primer across the wall evenly and lightly. Depending on the texture of the walls you are plastering, you may need to let it dry and then apply a second coat...

Article in English: Venlafaxine has one of the highest rates of people experiencing withdrawal from Effexor. You may or may not experience symptoms as you reduce your dosage, but it’s good to recognize what symptoms are typical of Effexor withdrawal. Ask your doctor about different ways you can ease any of the following symptoms:  Anxiety Dizziness Fatigue Headaches Vivid dreams Insomnia Nausea Agitation Anxiety Chills Sweating Runny nose Tremor Feelings of unease or foreboding Muscle pain Stomach problems Flu-like symptoms Depression Suicidal thoughts If you experience continued depression or have suicidal thoughts while stopping Effexor, call your doctor or go to a local hospital as soon as possible. Doctors can help relieve these symptoms and may prevent you from harming yourself. As you come off of your Effexor, you will need as much support as possible. This can help you tackle withdrawal symptoms and other side effects you may experience.  Continue to keep your doctor informed about your progress. You may even want to see a psychiatrist or psychologist as an alternative form of therapy to help you out while you’re stopping Effexor. This can minimize symptoms and may also give you new coping mechanisms. Let your family and friends know that you’re stopping Effexor and may experience withdrawal symptoms. Let them know the ways in which they can help you. Take some time off of work if necessary. Be honest with your boss about your condition. If you cannot take off any time, ask your boss ways you can contribute if you are experiencing withdrawal or recurrence of symptoms. Exercise helps produce serotonin and can have a powerful antidepressant effect. If you’re stopping Effexor, you may be able to compensate for medication by exercising regularly. This may also help manage withdrawal symptoms and keep you feeling good. Aim for a weekly total of 150 minutes of moderate activity, or about 30 minutes five days each week. Exercises such as walking, jogging, swimming, or biking can boost your mood. Consider trying yoga or Pilates,...

Article in English: Ventilation is the best means to get rid of a new carpet smell. Masking the odors or using removers only does so much, as it simply takes time and airflow to get rid of the scent. Open any windows and doors you can. If you have doors or windows with screens, keep them open as often as possible. If you have items like a heater or air conditioner in your home, keep them on. This will increase air ventilation. This can help eliminate the new carpet smell quicker. However, if you pay for your own utilities, be careful about running the air conditioner. You can run up an electric bill fast by having the air conditioner running too often. If you don't have an air conditioner, use fans. Fans can promote air circulation and help reduce the smell of new carpeting. Place any fans you have in the room with the carpeting and turn them on.  If possible, also keep windows and doors open in the room with new carpeting. Place the fans so that they are facing out towards the windows. This will help to push out the odor and keep the air circulating. It takes time for the new carpeting smell to fade. You can speed up that time frame, however, with proper ventilation. Try to keep the room with the new carpet ventilated for at least 72 hours. This should get rid of some of the smell. Remember to open all of the windows and doors. This will help to promote a cross breeze.

Article in English: Verbal attacks in the form of screaming, yelling, or shouting can also be considered bullying. The bully may yell insults at you or mock you loudly in the presence of others. They may also taunt and yell at you when you are alone with them. Often, verbal abuse can be as damaging as physical abuse, as you can be mentally and emotionally hurt by the bully’s words. Verbal abuse can often go undetected if it is done quietly and constantly, so it is important to notice if the bully is causing you psychological pain through hurtful words. Constructive criticism is well-meaning, specific, and designed to help you improve. You come away knowing exactly how to do better. While it can hurt if done too bluntly, it isn't bullying. Destructive criticism contains no useful advice, and is often personally insulting.   An example of specific and helpful criticism is "This article could use some work. It's a stub at this point, and could benefit from an expansion regarding how to ask the guy out." An example of destructive criticism is "This article is useless, unhelpful, and just plain stupid. Clearly the writer has no idea what they are talking about." Occasionally, people give ill-meaning advice that appears constructive, but is meant to shut you up instead of help you. This advice may make little sense, and they may flood you with nonsensical critiques intended to frustrate you or erase your agency instead of help you. Bullies also tend to defame you to others by spreading mean-spirited lies or rumors about you or by making fun of you to others. They may speak ill of you a professional level, such as spreading lies that you continually miss deadlines or that you cheat on every test. They may also speak badly of you on a personal level by attacking your character through lies about your relationships with friends, partners, and family. You may hear about the bully’s lies through your friends or coworkers and feel a sense of shame or guilt. Remember that you are not responsible for the bully’s actions and you are not to...

Article in English: Verbosity also includes a certain measure of pomposity in the execution. If you want to be counted as a verbose speaker or writer, it helps to get lost in the deep water of an overblown (and mixed) metaphor. Every molehill should not only be a mountain, but a mountain on which hordes of philandering demon spawn forth fortnightly. If you want to run on for a long time, make sure you stitch your prose together ever tighter with gapless precision. In other words, don’t let anyone get a word in edgewise.  Learn to anticipate the ends of your own sentences and start the next sentence before taking a breath. Hook a reader in with a transitional phrase at the end of a long paragraph that will force us to read on, even if we’re bored to tears. Better yet, eschew paragraphing entirely and give no rest for the weary. The long-winded know one thing to be true: “Quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur” (Whatever is said in Latin sounds profound). Memorize a few good Latin phrases and insert these whenever you can.  Mix in some French or Italian, overemphasizing the pronunciation, and you'll be pretentious in four languages. Rather than saying, "He makes a habit of using arcane references", try "His modus operandi seems to be obscurum per obscurius" to give your volubility a bit of international flavor. If you have a question as to whether or not the floor is yours, it is. Take control of every conversation and don't let go of the talking stick until you've chattered everyone else into submission. Quell dissent like Ross Perot used to: constantly referring to how often you yourself are interrupted. "Can I finish? Can I get a word in please?" Ignore body language and other nonverbal clues that indicate someone else would like to speak. Keep your gaze focused off in the middle-distance as you recount the sea-faring voyages of your childhood. Ignore the snores at the table around you.

Article in English: Verify that the gun is not loaded by putting the ramrod down the barrel and measuring the distance that it can reach. It must reach all the way to the location of the touch hole in the pan. Use your cleaning rod to clean the barrel of any black powder residue, dirt or dust that may have accumulated. While loading the gun, keep it aimed straight up in the air and avoid putting your face over the barrel at any time, even while you're loading it. Most muzzleloaders will come with a swab (a piece of cloth used to lubricate the rifle) fitted to the slot in the cleaning rod. Apply gun lubricant to the inside of the barrel. Do not apply too much, as it can get in the touch hole and prevent ignition. A thin layer is sufficient, no more than the amount of sunscreen you'd put on your face Pour black powder from your horn or flask into the powder measurer to the appropriate mark, then pour the powder from the measurer into the muzzle.  Tap the side of the rifle a few times with the flat of your hand to settle the powder. Using the smaller end of the bullet-starter, push the bullet into the barrel. Be gentle. When you get to the end of the starter, pull it out and use the longer end to push it farther down.  Use the ramrod to seat the bullet securely on the powder charge. Use a short but firm motions to seat it, don't jam it in a stabbing motion like you see in old Civil War movies. There's a mark on the ramrod that will let you know when the bullet has been seated. When that mark lines up with the end of the barrel, the bullet should be seated properly. It's important to make sure the bullet is seated firmly on the charge, leaving no gaps between the powder and the bullet. With the gun pointed in a safe direction, use your priming tool to seat the cap on the nipple. Make sure the safety is on, if your rifle has one, or that you're at half-cock, if you're using a side-lock rifle.

Article in English: Very carefully position the weft so that the glue is facing your hair. Starting half an inch from your side hairline, press the weft against your hair about 2 or 3 centimeters (0.8 or 1.2 in) below the part. Keep pressing the weft into your hair, little by little, until you reach the other side.  Be very careful not to apply it to your scalp. If the weft adheres to your scalp, it will inhibit hair growth and lead to bald spots there. It is very important to make sure the weft is applied a few centimeters below the part and attached only to your hair, not your skin.  Remember it must be applied half an inch from your side hairlines. If the weft is applied too close to your hairline, it will be visible. Wait about three minutes to let the extension completely dry once you're finished applying it. Give it a tug to make sure it's firmly in place. If part of the weft isn't properly adhered to your hair, apply a little bonding glue and press it down until the entire weft is attached. Now that the first weft is in place, it's time to apply the next one. Measure two and a half inches above the top of the first weft and make another U-shaped part around the back of the head. Secure the hair above the part, then follow the same process to measure, cut, and glue in the next weft:  Measure a new weft and cut it so either side falls half an inch from the side hairlines. Apply glue to the weft in a straight line, then use the blow dryer to heat it slightly so it's tacky, but not runny.  Apply the weft to your hair a few centimeters below the part, making sure it doesn't touch your scalp. Continue applying wefts every two and a half inches until you reach the top part, the rectangle you initially created. When you reach this top part, Measure, cut, and apply one final weft. This time the weft will extend from one side of your forehead around the crown of your head and up to the other side. Make sure it's half an inch from your hairline on either side. When the wefts are all in place, take down the rectangle of hair that you...

Article in English: Very few people become a politician simply on the idea that it looks like fun. While they may want to "change the world," they have a general idea of what needs changed. So before you throw your name in the ring, find something you want to get behind. Find something to motivate you. Get passionate. Do the conditions of your city's road irritate you to no end? Do you want to save the local hospital from being moved to a different area? Do you wish there were more allocated green space in your neighborhood? Great! You don't have to have the next best thing since the two-party system. All you need is a driving force for your platform and your reason to campaign. While you could go from student body president to running for the President of the United States...you'd really just be asking for a hard time. If you want to go about it and be successful, you'll start small. In the US, you have a few options:  School board City Council City mayor County supervisor Okay, you've decided you want to run for office. Maybe it's mayor, maybe it's county supervisor, heck, maybe it's even state legislator. The bigger it is, the more money you're gonna need. Do you have some padding in there in case things go awry? What if your campaign comes up short and you have to foot some of the bill? What if you lose the election and your job isn't there when you get back? Will there be food on the table?
