Article in English: Devote 1 section to the products you buy every month and another section to the products you buy every 3 or more months. Usually, the best brand loyalty you have, the more money you will save. If you are on auto-pilot when you go to the store, you may not know what the going rate is for a name-brand and discount-brand package of toilet paper, a jar of pasta sauce or bag of chicken breasts. To get a deal, you must be able to recognize a deal. You will be searching for coupons by store as well as a by-product. Add some stores that you think might be too expensive, in case they give extremely valuable coupons. Small expandable folders are a great way to sort by expiration date. Get a folder that is no larger than 6 x 9 inches (15 by 23cm) so that you don't forget to bring it when you go shopping. Keep a coupon folder for each type of item you want to buy. For example, you can have a coupon folder for grocery shopping that you place in your car and a coupon folder for services, such as oil changes, tax preparations and carpet cleaning that you keep by the computer or phone. Many grocery stores give discounts for bringing your own bag and it's eco-friendly, but you may need to ask for the discount. This is an essential part of online couponing since you can do a good amount of couponing without ever subscribing to a newspaper. A smartphone can also be a helpful tool in modern-day couponing. You can search for an online coupon right in the store, compare prices with those on Amazon using an application called Price Check or send coupons by text message. Double coupons mean that you can double the value of a coupon up to a certain number, and triple coupons mean you can triple it. Look for stores that take and advertise these kinds of coupons. Ask for rain checks. Rain checks allow you to go into the store and get a coupon for the sale price of an item when it is restocked. Some coupons specify "No Rainchecks" so you must get to the store early on in the sale to ensure the coupon will be valid for a purchase. Learn...

Article in English: Diabetes affects the way that blood sugar (glucose) is processed in your body. An essential energy source, glucose is present in the bloodstream after digesting food. Insulin, normally produced by the pancreas, assists the glucose out of the blood and distributes it to the liver cells, muscles, and fat, where it is turned into usable energy for the body. Diabetes is identified as Type 1, Type 2, and Gestational Diabetes.   Type 1 diabetes: This condition involves destruction of more than 90 percent of the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas, causing the pancreas to cease making insulin or to make very little. Type 1 diabetes tends to occur prior to the age of 30 and it may involve environmental factors and genetic predisposition.   Type 2 diabetes: While the pancreas continues to produce insulin, or even higher levels of insulin, the body develops a resistance to the insulin, causing the insulin to not be used properly for the body's needs and blood sugar levels remain consistently too high. While this type of diabetes can occur in children and adolescents, it usually begins in people over 30 and becomes more common as people age. Being overweight is a major risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes.  Gestational diabetes: This type of diabetes develops in some women during pregnancy. Left undiagnosed and/or untreated, serious side effects can injure the mother and affect the unborn child. Having gestational diabetes that resolves after delivery increases your chances of developing Type 2 Diabetes at some point of your life. Understanding how diabetes can disrupt your life can help motivate you to make the necessary lifestyle and diet changes to prevent the disease. Some of the complications from Type 2 Diabetes can be quite severe.  Possible complications include:  Lowered blood supply to the skin and nerves Fatty substances and blood clots clogging blood vessels (called Atherosclerosis)  Heart failure, heart attack, or stroke Damage to the eyes, which may cause permanently poor vision Renal (kidney)...

Article in English: Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose (sugar) levels are too high (hyperglycemia) due to a lack of insulin or a tissue insensitivity to it. In general terms, type 1 diabetes is more serious because your body (pancreas) doesn't make any insulin, whereas with the type 2 variety your body doesn't make or use insulin efficiently..  Both forms can be fatal if not treated.  All type 1 diabetics need insulin shots on a daily basis, whereas a large proportion of type 2 diabetics can manage their condition with special diets, weight loss and exercise. Type 2 diabetes is much more common and is linked to obesity, which causes tissues of the body to be less sensitive to the effects of insulin — essentially ignoring its impact. Insulin can't be taken by mouth (orally) in order to lower blood glucose levels because stomach enzymes interfere with its action. People with type 2 diabetes tend to be overweight and develop their symptoms slowly, whereas type 1 diabetics experience symptoms quickly and they tend to be more severe. The most common symptoms of type 1 diabetes include: increased thirst, frequent urination, extreme hunger, unexplained weight loss, sweet smelling breath (due to ketone breakdown), severe fatigue, irritability, blurred vision, slow-healing sores and frequent infections.  Type 1 diabetes can develop at any age, although it usually appears during childhood or adolescence. Diabetic kids are usually very thin, gaunt and tired looking. Type 2 diabetes can develop at any age, although it's most common in people older than 40 who are obese. Without insulin treatment, diabetes can progress and lead to nerve damage (neuropathy), heart disease, kidney damage, blindness, numbness in limbs and various skin conditions. Having diabetes and needing to inject insulin on a daily basis is sometimes like walking on a tightrope. Injecting too much insulin can lead to hypoglycemia due to having too much glucose removed from your bloodstream. On the other hand, not injecting enough promotes hyperglycemia as too...

Article in English: Diabetes is the most common cause of chronic numbness in the feet and toes. It causes numbness by both damaging the nerves and by causing poor circulation to your feet. Numbness is often one of the first symptoms of diabetes, so you should talk to your doctor and get tested right away if you have regular numbness that does not have another obvious cause.  Numbness can be extremely serious for people with diabetes because it may cause them not to feel pain in the feet caused by things like heat, punctures, or blisters. Decreased circulation also means that the person's feet will heal much slower, so infection is a serious concern. For this reason it is very important that you take especially good care of your feet if you have diabetes. Keeping your blood glucose levels in check is the best way to prevent circulation issues and neuropathy, both of which can cause numbness, if you have diabetes. Develop a plan with your doctor that works for you.  Check your blood sugar regularly with a blood glucose meter and get your A1C levels tested a few times each year. Although numbness in your feet and other symptoms of diabetes may make it difficult to exercise, do you best to stay active. Aim for 30 minutes of exercise each day, whether it is going to the gym or walking up and down the stairs at home. Eat a healthy, balanced diet including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, fish, and low-fat dairy. Do your best to avoid foods that trigger blood sugar spikes, such as cookies and soda. Take all of your prescribed medications, including insulin, regularly. Smoking can worsen the symptoms of your diabetes, so ask your doctor for help quitting. . Extra pounds and obesity can contribute to numbness in your feet and toes, so ask your doctor for tips on healthy weight loss to help alleviate some of your symptoms. Losing weight may also help you lower your blood pressure, which may also help reduce numbness. If losing weight is not enough to get your blood pressure under control, consider talking to your doctor about...

Article in English: Diabetics have higher levels of sugar and glucose in their blood and vaginal secretions. This is an ideal environment for abundant growth of yeast cells, which normally cause fungal infections. As a result, your child may suffer from recurrent fungal skin infections.  Notice if your child seems to be itchy in the genital area. For girls, you may notice that they have repeated vaginal yeast infections, characterized by genital itching and discomfort, with mild white to yellowish foul-smelling discharge.  Another type of fungal infection that can be a result of the immune-compromising feature of juvenile diabetes is athlete's foot, which causes white discharge and peeling of the skin in the webs of the toes and soles of the feet.  Boys, especially if they are uncircumcised, may also develop a fungal/yeast infection around the tip of the penis. The reflex that enables the body to fight against infections under normal circumstances is hampered by diabetes, as it causes immunological dysfunction. Increased glucose in the blood additionally causes unwelcome bacterial growth, often resulting in frequent bacterial skin infections such as boils or abscesses, carbuncles, and ulcerations. Another aspect of recurrent skin infections is the slow healing of wounds. Even small cuts, scratches or wounds from minor trauma take an abnormally long time to heal. Be on the lookout for anything that doesn't fix itself up as usual. Vitiligo is an auto-immune disorder, leading to reduced levels of the skin pigment melanin. Melanin is the pigment that gives human hair, skin, and eyes their color. With the occurrence of type 1 diabetes, the body develops auto-antibodies that destroy melanin. This results in white patches on the skin. Although it occurs much later in the course of type 1 diabetes and is not very common, it is better to rule out diabetes if your child develops such white patches. These symptoms can accompany diabetes as it progresses. If you notice your child vomiting or overly deep breathing, this is a dangerous sign...

Article in English: Diabetics use insulin to help decrease blood sugar levels.  Injecting insulin will only decrease blood sugar levels more, increasing the severity of the hypoglycemic episode. This is very dangerous. What you need are simple carbohydrates, as stated above.  Complex carbohydrates are slow-acting and will not provide immediate glucose as it takes more time to be digested. You need to make sure that blood sugar is raised quickly in order to avoid further complications.

Article in English: Diagnosing vision loss is done by performing a series of tests called a comprehensive eye exam. There are several components to this test.  A visual acuity test is a done to determine the sharpness of your vision. It is done by standing in front an eye chart with several lines of the alphabet. Each line has different sized letters. The largest letters on top and the smallest on the bottom. This examination will test your near vision by determining the smallest line you can read comfortably without strain. Screening for hereditary color blindness is part of the exam as well. Perform a cover test. This test will determine how well your eyes work together. The doctor will have you focus on a small object with one eye, and cover the other one. The purpose of doing this allows the doctor to determine if the uncovered eye has to re-focus to see the object. If the eye does have to re-focus to see the object, this could indicate extreme eye strain which would cause a “lazy eye”. Examine the health of your eyes. To determine the health of your eye, your doctor will perform a slit light test.  Your chin will be placed in a chin rest that is connected to a slit light. This test is used to examine the front part of the eye, (cornea, lids, and iris) as well as the inside of the eye (retina, optic nerves). Glaucoma is an increase in pressure inside the eye (due to increased amounts of fluid) that can lead to blindness. Testing for glaucoma is done by blowing a small burst of air into the eyes and measuring the pressure. Diagnosing glaucoma is very important as it helps you get the right treatment at the right time. It is very common to have your eyes dilated during an eye exam. Dilating the eyes involves placing medicated eye drops in the eye with the purpose of dilating (widening) the pupils. This is done to look for diabetes, high blood pressure, macular degeneration, and glaucoma.  Dilating the eyes usually last a few hours. Bring a pair of shades after the exam, as bright sunlight could be harmful to dilated pupils....

Article in English: Diagnosis is by visual examination. A sigmoidoscopy must always follow the visual examination to rule out Crohn's disease, cancer, and other serious conditions. However, to know the ins and outs of your case, your doctor may conduct 1 or more of the following tests, too:   Computerized Tomography (CT scan). Especially in patients with Crohn’s disease, a CT scan indicates the inflammatory stage before the possible formation of a fistula, in addition to showing the cavities of abscess to determine if surgical care is needed.  Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This a helpful method to determine any enteric fistulas by revealing any inflammatory changes or accumulation of fluids in the fistula tube.  Fistulography. This is an X-ray method in which a contrast media is injected at the external site of a fistula to clarify the fistula path and how deep it is through the tissues which will help in choosing the treatment.  Ultrasonography. This combined with physical examination can be used to identify any presence of abscess or fluid accumulation that may reside in the fistula tube.  Cystoscopy. This is useful for the “enterovesical fistula” that connects the intestine with the bladder.  Microbiological tests. To indicate any sign of infection, especially in the presence of abscess, a urine culture may be required in case of colovesical fistulas. The most common treatment of fistulas is surgical care, which is called “fistulotomy." This process will remove the fistula and any pus or fluid gathering in it. Fistulotomy is effective in more than 85% of cases.  In fistulotomy for rectal fistulas, a procedure called endorectal flap will be used. This is where the surrounding healthy tissues get put inside the fistula cavity to ensure the prevention of its blockage by feces in case of a recurrent infection. A seton stitch (passing a cord into the fistula in order to keep it closed during the drainage) is also reported to be used in fistulotomy. This, however, usually takes multiple visits to your doctor until recovery and...

Article in English: Diagnosis is done during a routine eye exam where the ophthalmologist will use eye drops in order to dilate or enlarge your pupils. In case you are suffering from dry macular degeneration, the ophthalmologist can easily detect the presence of drusen upon inspection. You will also be asked to look at the Amsler grid, which looks like graph paper. It is possible that you have macular degeneration when you see that some of the lines are wavy. To check if you have symptoms, print the Amsler grid test from the Prevent Blindness website and follow these instructions:  Place the reversed chart 24 inches away at eye level. Put your reading glasses on and cover one eye completely with your hand. Focus on the center dot for one minute and repeat steps with the other eye. If any of the lines on the grid appear to be wavy, contact your eye care professional immediately. This method will involve inserting dye into a vein in your arm. The dye is then photographed as it travels to the veins of the retina. It can detect leakages, which can indicate wet macular degeneration. ,  The dye should be seen in the optic nerve about eight to 12 seconds after injection. The dye should be seen in the retinal area about 11 to 18 seconds after injection. This exam will look at the multiple layers of your retina using light waves. The test can assess the thickness of your retina, the anatomy of the retinal layers, and if there is anything abnormal in the retina like fluid, blood or new blood vessels.  The doctor may first dilate your eyes, though OCT can also be performed through an non-dilated pupil. Then you will place your chin on the chin rest to stabilize your head, and refrain from moving. A light beam will be aimed at the eye. Using light waves, the exam can painlessly detect live tissue in a matter of seconds. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the main chemical that causes the abnormal growth of blood vessels. When this chemical is suppressed through anti-VEGF agents or antiangiogenics, the growth of the blood vessels...

Article in English: Dianabol is sometimes accompanied by nausea and other stomach issues, but these can be mitigated by taking the steroid with food. Some users also report feeling fatigued after taking Dianabol on an empty stomach, so taking it at mealtime is also a good way of making sure you have energy for your workout. There’s no particular food you necessarily should eat when taking Dianabol. However, because it’s a quick-acting steroid, you may want to eat a protein-rich meal when you take it so that the drug has proteins to build muscle with. Dianabol is highly estrogenic, which means it can lead to excess levels of estrogen when it gets broken down in the body. Taking aromatase inhibitors prevents the conversion of Dianabol into estrogen and therefore helps keep your body’s estrogen levels normal.  The most common side effect of excessive estrogen levels is gynecomastia, or the growth of breast tissue in men. Other health problems arising from excess estrogen may include depression and infertility. You can buy aromatase inhibitors at any vitamins and supplements store. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s dosing instructions when taking these supplements. Some men experience a reduction in their bodies’ testosterone levels while taking Dianabol. Taking testosterone supplements will help keep your body’s hormone levels in check while you’re on the steroid.  Lower testosterone levels in men can have a variety of unpleasant symptoms, including hair loss, sexual dysfunction, and difficulty sleeping. Insufficient testosterone can also make it harder for you to build muscles, making it that much more important to take testosterone supplements during your bulking cycle. You can buy testosterone supplements at most pharmacies and any vitamins and supplements store. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine what dosage is right for you.

Article in English: Diatomaceous earth (DE) comes in two forms. Most DE sold as a pest control treatment or labeled "food-grade" is safe for home use and not linked to serious health issues. Never use pool grade or industrial grade DE in your home, since these forms can (eventually) cause permanent respiratory problems.  All DE products are actually a mix of the "safe" and "unsafe" types. Food grade DE still has a small amount of "unsafe" DE, and is still dangerous if inhaled in large quantities. DE sold for pest control has to meet specific safety standards and list safe instructions on the label (at least in the US), so this is usually the best choice. Food grade DE may not have a detailed safety label, since it is not intended to be used in pure, dry form, but it is similar to pest-grade DE and the risk of harm is low with the precautions below. Since food-grade DE is meant to be stirred into food and eaten, some people assume it is completely safe. However, the concentrated, dry powder can seriously irritate the lungs, eyes, and skin. Review these safety precautions before you begin:  Always wear a dust mask at minimum, since inhalation is the main danger. A respirator mask is much better, especially if you plan to use DE many times.  Wear gloves, eye protection, long sleeves, and long trousers. Keep children and pets away from the carpet while the diatomaceous earth is there. Consider testing a small area first, following the instructions below. Assuming there are no negative reactions from you our your household members, repeat on the rest of the carpet. Professional pest controls use special dusters to put down a fine, even layer of dust, but these can be hard for consumers to find. You can use a feather duster, paint brush, or flour sifter instead. Spoon (don't pour) the DE onto the dusting tool slowly, to avoid a cloud of dust. Squeeze bottles or bellows are not recommended, since they cause too much drifting.

Article in English: Diatomaceous earth is an effective way to kill ladybugs before they can enter your garden. Wear goggles and a face mask, and generously spread the diatomaceous earth around each garden bed. You can also sprinkle diatomaceous earth around the outside of your house to prevent ladybugs getting inside.  Diatomaceous earth is safe for pets and children. However, it will kill other beneficial insects like honeybees. The goggles and face mask are only to prevent the powder being inhaled as it settles. Once it has settled, you can remove your safety gear. Deterring ladybugs from getting into your plants and home may be as simple as doing some gardening! Include plenty of mums in your garden, as these plants repel ladybugs. These protect neighboring plants and also deter ladybugs from entering your home through any doors or windows that are close by. Either plant the mums in the ground or in gardening pots and water them regularly to help them thrive. If the ladybugs in the garden are unmanageable, then an outdoor insecticide is an effective solution. Find an outdoor insecticide at your local gardening center and follow the manufacturer’s directions closely to apply it. Check the label before you begin to make sure that it's safe for any specific plants you may have, pets, and children.  Outdoor insecticides are commonly sold as either dusts, powders, or sprays. Always use gloves, a face mask, and goggles when applying outdoor insecticides.

Article in English: Dictionaries are critical tools for learning any language, and ASL is no exception. A good dictionary will allow you to look up signs you don't understand, as well as give you something to study.  Look for a dictionary with easy-to-understand illustrations and descriptions. Try using an online dictionary, where you can see videos of the signs being produced. A classroom setting will give you multiple people to practice signing with, as well as feedback on your performance.  Many colleges will allow you to take a class without enrolling. Check with your local school to see what programs they might offer. Community programs such as local libraries and recreational centers will often offer ASL classes for those that are interested. While a dictionary will show you how to sign every word or phrase, a study guide will get you signing in a more practical fashion. A study guide will provide more instruction than a dictionary, and will help you learn basic conversations as well as sentence structure. The internet can provide a wealth of information about signing, how to sign, Deaf culture, and more.  There are many sites that contain video tutorials posted by professional ASL instructors. The ASLU is a great resource for new learners. Each entry has a video by professional instructors. Handspeak is another good video resource and online dictionary. YouTube is host to a variety of self-published videos on signing. Just remember that with anything online, anyone can make something regardless of whether or not they actually know what they are doing. Be wary of misinformation and improper techniques. With the advent of smartphones, carrying a dictionary and study guide around with you has never been easier. Both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store have multiple options to choose from, ranging from free to a few dollars.

Article in English: Did you find out that the domain name you wanted was already taken? Are you wanting to be sure that your domain name is optimal for people to find your website? You'll want to practice a few simple steps to get the name just right, rather that getting stuck and giving up or taking a less than great name. Choose a domain name that sounds current, and not like something out of the 90s or 00s. Avoid using numbers or letters for words (2, 4, U, etc), or other dated language. Choose a name that sounds professional and legitimate. Unless you want to be mistaken for a porn site or a scam, choose a name that sounds professional. For example, don't name your travel website Travel4U.biz and instead go with something like QualityTravel.net. The domain name should be easy to read. Avoid names that are made up of multiple words with the same letter or letters that look the same, such as wikihowworld or wikiliki. On many computers and print media, these will be difficult to read correctly. Shorter domain names are better, as these are easier to read, type, and remember. However, if your website can be easier to remember or stand out more at wikiHow.com, rather than wHow.com, then don't worry about it. If someone is going to learn about your website by word of mouth, you'll want it to be something that's easy to remember.

However, if you send too many press releases that are of little interest, the media may lose interest. It is good to build relationships with as many columnists as possible. Sometimes, they may be looking for stories and may actually reach out to you.  Some newspapers have a columnist who specializes in writing about good deals and new businesses. Try them as the first point of contact. Look for columnists who reach your niche audience - for example, if you run a fishing tackle shop, get in touch with your local newspaper's outdoors columnist. Many newspapers will print special coverage of charity endeavors, particularly during holiday seasons. These charity events are often covered in the local media.  You could host a small charity drive during which you accept canned food or used-good donations to give to your local shelters or assistance organizations. Be sure to contact the newspaper and other media outlets regarding the event and mention that your business is sponsoring it. Display your business logo as prominently as possible without overshadowing the event. You can have signs, banners, or even articles of clothing with your company name and logo. For even better publicity, offer a discount to customers who bring in an item to donate. This will increase revenue for both the charity and your business.

Article in English: Did you know that appliances and electronics continue sapping electricity as long as they're plugged in, even when their switches are turned off? Making a habit of unplugging these items when they aren't in use saves a lot of energy over time.  Power down your computer and unplug it when you aren't using it. Computers are one of the main culprits when it comes to using a lot of energy in a household, so unplugging them when you're finished checking your email for the night is worth the hassle. Unplug your TVs, radios and sound systems. Leaving these plugged in day in and day out is a waste of electricity and money. Don't forget smaller appliances like coffee makers, toasters, hair dryers and phone chargers. These use small amounts of energy, but it really adds up over time. What appliances do you really need to use on a daily basis? Think about your routine and determine where you might be able to save some energy. In some cases it might mean spending extra time on certain chores, but the reward is saving energy, money, and having the satisfaction that comes with being more self-sufficient. For example:  Dry your laundry on a clothesline outside instead of using the dryer. This saves a lot of energy, and many find the old-fashioned task of hanging clothes on the line to be among the more relaxing of chores. Fill your dishwasher to the brim instead of doing a partially-empty load. You could also wash dishes by hand  using a water conservation method rather than relying on the dishwasher to do the job. Sweep instead of vacuuming. If you have carpets you'll still have to vacuum once in a while, but you can sweep up large crumbs and clots of dirt with a broom in between sessions. Pulling out the vacuum every day uses up a lot of energy. Do all of your baking on the same day of the week. Heating the oven requires a lot of electricity (unless your oven is powered by gas), so it makes sense to heat it once and bake more than one thing, rather than spacing out your baking over the course of the week. Reduce your...

Article in English: Did you know that appliances that are plugged in keep using energy, even when they're switched off? Even an appliance as small as a coffee pot continues slowly sapping energy every moment it stays plugged in, long after the last cup of coffee has been consumed.  A power strip with a switch makes this easier. Instead of pulling 5 devices out of their sockets, all you have to do is flip a switch. Power down your computer and unplug it at the end of the day. Computers use a lot of energy, and when they stay plugged in you're wasting both energy and money.  Don't leave your TV plugged in all the time. It may seem inconvenient to unplug it when you're finished watching, but the savings are worth the trouble. Unplug your sound system and speakers. These are some of the worst culprits when it comes to sapping extra energy when they aren't in use. Don't forget small appliances such as phone chargers, kitchen appliances, hair dryers, and anything else you've got that runs on electricity. When older appliances were manufactured, companies weren't as concerned with saving electricity. Newer models are designed to conserve energy, reducing your household costs and lowering your carbon footprint. If you have an older refrigerator, electric stove and oven, dishwasher, washer and dryer, or other large appliance, look into getting it replaced.  Look for "Energy Star" ratings on new appliances. These help you assess how much energy the appliance uses. Many energy-conserving appliances are more expensive than those that don't have this feature, but you'll earn the money back over time through electricity savings. If replacing your appliances isn't an option, there are still plenty of ways to change your routine so that you're using as little electricity as possible.  Fill the dishwasher up before running it, rather than running a smaller load. Don't open the oven while it's in use, since you release heat and the oven has to use extra energy to produce more. Don't stand at the refrigerator with the door open trying to decide...

Article in English: Did you know you only grow when you're asleep? Your body produces human growth hormone (HGH) while you sleep. This hormone helps you develop muscle and actually grow taller. So if you're serious about getting taller, get plenty of sleep.  School-age children should get between 10 and 11 hours of sleep. Teens and those just under 18 should get at least 9 to 10 hours of sleep. Whatever you do, take the time to exercise. Exercise is crucial for your healthy development and general well-being. If you want to grow tall during your teen years especially, get in the habit of exercising your body. All exercise is good, and there is no particular exercise to increase height, but doing things that involve stretching and jumping will help to lengthen your spine.  Try jumping around by playing basketball or skipping. Try stretching out your back and limbs by swimming. There is no specific amount of time you should be doing this for to increase height, but the more the better. It is recommended that people children and adolescents should do an hour of exercise a day to be healthy. To give yourself the best chance of growing taller, try to exceed this amount. Some stretches can help you to release your spine and improve your posture. If you stretch the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, it can help you to become more upright, and thus make the most of your height. Some of the stretches to try include:  Toe touches. Stand up straight and raise your hands up to the sky, and then reach down to touch your toes. Cobra stretch. Lie on your front with your hands at your sides and then push up on your hands to raise your chest and tilt back your head. Bridge stretch. Lie on your back with your hands at either side of you, then, pressing down on your hands, raise your abdomen off the ground to stretch your back. If you do all of the previous steps, there's a good chance that you've given your body the best chance to grow taller. Not everyone is going to be as tall as a basketball player or a model.

Article in English: Did you see how the method above converts the whole number into a fraction, then converts back to a mixed number at the end? This method lets you skip some of that so the fraction only involves smaller numbers. . Skip this step if your fraction is not improper. (An improper fraction has a larger number on top than on bottom.)  Example: 11−43{\displaystyle 11-{\frac {4}{3}}}  =11−113{\displaystyle =11-1{\frac {1}{3}}} =10−13{\displaystyle =10-{\frac {1}{3}}} For example, rewrite 5 as 4 + 1, or rewrite 22 as 21 + 1.  10−13{\displaystyle 10-{\frac {1}{3}}} =9+1−13{\displaystyle =9+1-{\frac {1}{3}}} At this point we're using the method above to solve the part of the problem in the form "1 - (fraction)". The other whole number will stay the same for the rest of the problem.  =9+1−13{\displaystyle =9+1-{\frac {1}{3}}} =9+11−13{\displaystyle =9+{\frac {1}{1}}-{\frac {1}{3}}} As described above, multiply the top and bottom of your new fraction so it has the same denominator as the original fraction.  =9+1∗31∗3−13{\displaystyle =9+{\frac {1*3}{1*3}}-{\frac {1}{3}}} =9+33−13{\displaystyle =9+{\frac {3}{3}}-{\frac {1}{3}}} Subtract the numerators to solve the fraction part of the equation.  =9+3−13{\displaystyle =9+{\frac {3-1}{3}}} =9+23{\displaystyle =9+{\frac {2}{3}}} =923{\displaystyle =9{\frac {2}{3}}}

Article in English: Diet plays a huge role in weight loss. However, if you're only focusing on slow and mindful eating, adding in some physical activity can help support your weight loss.  Most health professionals recommend doing at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week.  You can also increase this amount to 300 minutes a week.  You may see increased weight loss with higher amounts of physical activity.  Also include a day or two of strength training where you work each major muscle group.  Resistance training helps round out your workout. Even when you're eating slowly and possibly eating a little less, it's still important to eat an overall well-balanced diet.  This will help support your weight loss.  Eating a well-balanced diet high in lean protein, fruits, vegetables and whole grains in addition to eating slowly can help you lose weight.  Eat appropriate portions of each food group throughout the day.  In addition, choose a wide variety of foods within each food group. Follow appropriate portion sizes as well.  Measure out 3-4 oz of lean protein, 1/2 cup of fruit, 1 cup of vegetables, 2 cups of leafy greens and 1/2 cup of grains. Even small portions of higher calorie foods (like fast food or sweets), most likely will not promote weight loss. These foods pack on calories without really keeping you full. Remember that you're better off eating foods that are nutrient-dense, not calorie-dense.  You do not need to completely avoid these types of foods — especially if they're some of your favorites — but limit them to help lower your overall calorie content. Watch out for high-fat foods like:  fried foods, fast food, fatty cuts of meat and processed meats. Also watch for higher calorie foods with added sugars like:  sweetened beverages, candy, cookies, pastries, ice cream and other desserts.

Article in English: Dietary treatment for colds should first start with determining whether the cold is caused by wind heat or wind cold. To determine the source of your cold, eat ginger.  If you experience excessive thirst, dry mouth, sore throat, and sweating after eating, then your cold is caused by wind heat. To alleviate this type of cold, eat foods that have cooling properties such as cucumber and watermelon.  In case you are experiencing cold intolerance, the only way to counter that is by eating warm foods like garlic and curry. Do not overeat. Chinese traditional medicine maintains that proper diet can restore balance to the body and boost your immune system. Your emotions play a key role in your overall health.  Traditional Chinese medicine indicates that there are seven types of emotions that must be monitored and reduced, because they are factors that can aggravate an illness. These emotions include: anxiety, anger, fear, fright, overjoy, overthinking, and sadness.  Do a self-check every time you feel a surge of these emotions, because they can harm several organs in the body. You can regulate your emotions by thinking positive, being optimistic, meditating, and listening to calming and soothing music. The type of exercise beneficial to reducing colds is mostly centered on doing slow, rhythmic exercises that require you to be mindful of your breathing. Exercise should focus on incorporating all the parts of the body. A good exercise found in Chinese culture for this type of workout is tai-chi.

Article in English: Dieticians can be expensive and hard to find, but you can use an online service or smartphone app to get the same benefits for free. These apps allow you to input what you ate and how much and then will often provide the amount of calories and other nutrients you've consumed throughout the day. With this information, you can track your eating and set smarter goals for weight loss.  As you log foods, look to see what times of day you eat the most, the types of food that you get the most calories from, and the nutrient breakdowns of the foods you eat the most. This information is crucial for rethinking your dieting plan. Some great apps to check out are MyFitnessPlan, My Food Diary, and MyPlate. All of these (and more!) are available for free in the Apple App Store and on Google Play. Instead of spreading out 3 large meals throughout the entire day, try to eat all of your food in a period of 8 or 10 hours and then fasting until the next day. Pick a window of time, like 11 am to 7 or 9 pm, and allow yourself to eat during then. Outside of those hours, only drink water or other no-calorie drinks.  Some studies have shown that intermittent fasting boosts metabolism and increases the amount of fat lost during regular exercise, which makes this a great addition to any dieting plan. An easy way to start intermittent fasting is to pick 1 or 2 days to do it in a week, then working your way up in 1- or 2-day increments to doing it full-time. Foods eaten after 8 p.m. have the same amount of calories as before 8 p.m., but you're more likely to not be engaging in physical activity at night or closer to bed. Instead of having a small breakfast and finishing the day with a big dinner, have a larger breakfast and lunch and a small dinner. This way, you can work off the calories from those meals as you go about your day. If this doesn't work for your schedule, you can also try eating several smaller meals throughout the day instead of the 3 main ones. The goal is to eat enough to keep you full but not overindulge because...

Article in English: Diets are limited and restricted, and more often than not, they eventually fail. In addition, many trendy fad diets or eating plans are not nutritious or considered a healthy way of eating.  Instead of following a drastic, fad diet, keep incorporating healthy dietary changes into your life.  You may have done diets in your past to help you reach a healthier weight or improve your overall health; however, following an extreme diet forever is not realistic and most likely something you're not going to do. For instance, you don't need to completely eliminate treats and traditional foods that might not fit into your eating plan. Allow yourself these things on special occasions or as an occasional treat, just don't make a habit of eating them every day. One key component of maintaining a fit and healthy lifestyle is to eat regular and consistent meals.  Skipping meals or snacks will not support your current lifestyle.   When you skip meals or snacks regularly, you're putting yourself at risk for nutrient deficiencies, unwanted weight loss, and fatigue.  Make sure you eat at least three meals daily.  Some people may prefer to eat five to six small meals daily.  Whichever meal pattern works best, try to stick to this each day. It's also recommended to eat every four to six hours.  That means you may need to include a small meal or snack throughout the day. To maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle you'll need to eat a well-balanced diet.  This style of eating provides your body with all the required nutrients you need each day.  A balanced diet will support a healthy weight, an active lifestyle and a healthy body. Eat each food group most days and throughout the week, and eat a wide variety of a foods from within each food group as well.  Eat enough from each of your food groups.  It's typically recommended to eat five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables, three to four servings of grains, and a serving of lean protein at each meal and snack. Processed foods and junk foods are typically known to be higher in...

Article in English: Different beers, ciders, and other hard drinks have different alcohol content. If you want to get drunk faster, go for drinks with a higher alcohol content. You can usually see the alcohol content on the side of a bottle. A higher percentage means the drink is likely to get you drunk faster.  Beers with higher alcohol contents often have around 15-18% alcohol. They may come from smaller, more independent breweries as opposed to larger companies. Even beers with around 11% alcohol content are quite potent. If you can't find something in the 15-18% range, see if you can find anything at around 11% alcohol. Remember your limits. A few strong beers can really set you over the edge. Slow down the pace of you're drinking when you feel buzzed. If you start to feel very dizzy or sick, this is a sign you need to stop drinking. You do not want to end up ill from alcohol. Mixing spirits with diet mixers, like diet soda, gets you drunk faster. This may be because regular sodas are recognized as food, slowing down the body's absorption of alcohol. The body may not treat diet soda as food, allowing the alcohol to be absorbed quicker. People do not necessarily notice they're getting drunk faster when mixing spirits with diet mixers. If you're mixing liquor with diet soda, make sure to be aware you may be drunker than you realize. Bubbly drinks may get you drunk faster. If you're looking to get drunk fast, and like champagne and spritzers, order a bubbly drink. Bubbly drinks include champagne, sparkling wine, spritzers, and drinks mixed with tonic water. Hard liquors can get you drunk faster than beer or wine, as they have a higher alcohol content. Doing shots can be particularly useful, as you'll be absorbing high alcohol products fast. Vodka in particular has been shown to increase the speed of intoxication. Try drinking hard liquors if you're looking to get drunk fast.  Keep in mind, depending on the bar, drinks will be stronger or weaker. Some bartenders may, for example, give you considerably more than a single serving...

Article in English: Different breeds of cats have distinct characteristics, and it is important to do some research to determine the best breed to fit your lifestyle.  While less than 10% of cats are considered “purebred” to one specific breed, an understanding of the breeding groups in general will be very helpful even if you are adopting a common house cat:  Natural breeds:  These cats have long, thick coats developed in cold climates; heavy, square bodies; and are the most sedentary group of the three purebred groupings.  Common breeds within this group are American and British shorthairs, Persians, and Maine coon cats. Semi-foreign or Hybrids:  Considered an in-between group, these cats have slightly oval eyes; moderately wedge-shaped heads; and a leaner, more muscular body than the other breeds.  They have a moderate energy level in comparison, except for the Abyssinian breed, which is high energy.  Other common breeds within this group are the Russian blues and Ocicats. The Orientals:  These cats originated in warmer climates and so they have very little body fat, lighter coats, and very long legs, tails, ears, and bodies.  This group is the most active and talkative of the three purebred groupings.  Common breeds within this group are Siamese, Burmese, and Cornish rexes. It is important to consider the time you have available to train and play with your cat, as well as your expectations for its behavior.  If you work full time or have young children, it might be best to adopt an older cat since kittens and adolescents are a lot of work to train and watch over. If this is your first cat, try to avoid cats that are very demanding (of your attention, of their space, etc.) as it may be too big a challenge for a beginner. After doing some research to determine the best breeds for your lifestyle, it is important to realize that this is just a “best guess.” Be sure to go and interact with your cat in person a few times before making a decision.  Also, adoption counselors at shelters often have great advice to help you find a cat...

Article in English: Different coffee brewing methods require different grind consistencies. Coarsely ground coffee is about the size of breadcrumbs. You can achieve a coarse grind with a blender or food processor. This grind is ideal for:  French press coffee Cold brew Vacuum coffee makers A medium grind is about the consistency of granulated sugar. This type of grind is best for drip coffee, the pour-over method, and Chemex brewers. In fact, medium grind can be used for a number of different brewing methods, but shouldn’t be used for espresso or Turkish coffee. A medium grind can be achieved by cracking coffee beans with a knife or a hammer. You can also get a medium fine grind by crushing them with a rolling pin. Professional espresso machines, home espresso makers, and stovetop espresso pots all require finely ground coffee for the best results. Finely ground coffee has a similar consistency to table salt. Without a grinder, you can achieve a fine grind by grinding beans with a pestle and mortar or a rolling pin. Super fine coffee is a powdery grind that’s similar to powdered sugar. This type of grind is required for Turkish coffee and Greek coffee.You can get this grind using a pestle and mortar.

Article in English: Different cultivars have slightly different appearances. Choose one that best meets your personal taste.  A few disease-resistant options include Apache, Fiery Cascade, Mohave, Navaho, Pueblo, Rutgers, Shawnee, and Teton.  Apache grows 5 feet (1.5 m) high and 6 feet (1.8 m) wide. It produces bright red berries. Fiery Cascade grows 8 feet (2.4 m) high and 9 feet (2.7 m) wide. It produces orange berries that gradually turn red. Mohave can reach heights and widths of 12 feet (3.7 m) and produces orange-red berries. Teton survives well in cold climates and can grow as tall as 12 feet (3.7 m) and as wide as 4 feet (1.2 m). The berries are golden yellow. Gnome is resistant to cold weather and produces orange berries, but it tends to be more susceptible to disease. It grows 6 feet (1.8 m) tall and 8 feet (2.4 m) wide. Lowboy grows 2 to 3 feet (0.6 to 0.9 m) tall but spreads out much further. It produces orange berries and is very weak against disease. Early to mid autumn is the best time to plant pyracantha, but if this season passes you by, the next best time to plant is early spring. All pyracantha varieties do best when planted in areas that receive full sun, but most can also survive well enough in areas of partial shade, too. Avoid areas that receive full western sun exposure since the sunlight can be too intense. Pyracantha can tolerate different soils, but the plants generally do best in soils that drain well.  This plant is actually a great choice for soils that aren't very fertile. Nutrient-dense soils can cause the shrub to become very bushy. As a result, it becomes weaker against diseases like fire blight and may yield less fruit. Note that the ideal soil pH for pyracantha is between 5.5 and 7.5. In other words, it does well in neutral to slightly acidic soils. Most cultivars have a tendency to spread out if they are not trained to grow against a tall surface. Planting the shrub near a bare wall or fence can encourage upward growth.  Pyracantha has dangerous thorns. When the plant grows tall instead of...

Article in English: Different defensive positions require different conditioning to respond well to the demands that will be placed on their bodies during the game. If you are a center back, focus on strength and stability. If you are an outside back, do speed and mobility drills to compete with wingers.  During the off season, schedule 2 or 3 strength days, along with 2 or 3 cardio days. You can also add a day that focuses on speed and power, by incorporating high-intensity interval training. In season, reduce the volume of your training to reflect the time you're spending on the field. For example, if your workouts were 2 hours long in the off-season, reduce them to 1 hour in season. You may only want 1 or 2 strength days in season. Distance running improves your cardiovascular endurance, which is necessary if you're spending 90 minutes on the pitch in any given game. But you also need to be able to come up with short bursts of speed to keep up with fast forwards, midfielders, and wingers. Running in intervals is a good way to mimic the way you run during a soccer game. For example, you might jog for 10 minutes, then sprint for 2 minutes, then walk for 3 minutes. Repeat the interval until you've run for an hour. Working your core isn't just about having a six-pack like your favorite professional soccer player. A strong core improves your balance and makes it tougher for attacking players to push past you and make a break for the goal.  Make planks a regular part of your exercise regimen. Start by holding the plank position for 30 seconds to a minute. Every few days, add a minute, working up to a 5-minute duration. Look for other core exercises that isolate various abdominal muscles. Make sure you're exercising all abdominal muscles evenly. Practices such as yoga and pilates can also help strengthen your core and improve your balance and flexibility. Plyometric exercises build fast-twitch muscle fibers in your body to give you explosive power to boost the sudden bursts of speed you need when chasing after a fast forward or...

Article in English: Different dog breeds require different grooming strategies. As a whole, dogs should be brushed once a week or so to help them shed hair. Long haired breeds may need more frequent brushing to avoid developing tangles and also may require regular trims. Some breeds get hot in the summer and feel better when they're shaved as it starts getting warm outside. Determine what grooming habits are best for your dog's fur and nails. Check for fleas and ticks while you groom, and remove them with a flea and tick comb. A quality flea prevention medication from your Veterinarian may be needed. Dogs don't need baths nearly as often as humans, but when they start to smell or get into mud and other messes, it's necessary to give them baths. Try to use lukewarm water and a natural, gentle shampoo that is made specifically for dogs and that will not irritate their skin.  Dogs like to run around after a bath, so you might want to time the bath so that the dog can run around outside afterward. Bathing and grooming is also a good way to make sure you notice if your dog has a cut or bump that needs medical attention. Regular veterinary check-ups can help prevent or detect problems early. Routine vet visits include a physical exam, fecal check, and a heartworm test. Your vet may also recommend routine blood work to check for underlying issues that haven't surfaced yet and are best treated as early as possible.  Common regular medications that your vet may recommend include, heartworm preventative, regular dewormings, and flea and tick preventative depending on the season and what area of the country you live in. Make sure that your dog has had all of their necessary immunizations. This will help to keep them happy and healthy. The standard immunizations for dogs include Rabies, which is administered at 12 weeks of age or older and then every 1 to 3 years depending on your local laws and your vets recommendations. Distemper, Parvovirus, and Hepatitis are usually administered together. Puppies should receive a set of four injections...

Article in English: Different forms of nerve strain or damage affect distinct parts of the hand. Your doctor can perform tests to accurately diagnose nerve compression or damage. They’ll examine your forearms and hands, have you move your hands and fingers and, if necessary, perform an x-ray.  Numbness in the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers (and the side of your palm with these fingers) is a symptom of carpal tunnel syndrome. If your ring and little fingers become numb when you bend your elbow, cubital tunnel syndrome could be the issue. Numbness or pain concentrated at the top of the hand could be due to a compressed radial nerve. Every 20 to 30 minutes, hold your hands in a prayer pose about 6 inches (15 cm) in front of your chest. Keeping your hands in the prayer position, raise your elbows until you feel a stretch in your forearms. Hold the stretch for 10 to 20 seconds, then relax.  You can also extend your right arm in front of you with your wrist bent, so the back of your hand faces you. Use your left hand to gently pull your right fingers toward you so you feel a stretch in your right forearm. Hold the stretch for 10 to 20 seconds, then switch arms. Fill one bucket with cold water and another with warm (not hot) water. Soak your hands and forearms in the cold water for 2 to 3 minutes, then soak them in the warm water. Continue alternating until you've held your hands in each bucket 3 times. Try soaking your hands in cold and warm water 3 to 4 times daily, or whenever you feel numbness or tingling. For carpal tunnel syndrome, wear wrist braces to keep your hands and forearms in neutral positions while you sleep. Ask your doctor to recommend the right brace for your particular issue. Bending the elbow aggravates cubital tunnel syndrome, so wearing elbow braces at night is best for this condition. Ask your doctor to recommend the best brace. You can also wrap a towel around the appropriate joint, then use tape to secure it. If numbness, tingling, and pain interfere with your daily activities, a corticosteroid shot...

Article in English: Different hair types will all have different shampoo and conditioner needs.   If your hair is curly or wavy, you will need a hydrating shampoo/conditioner. If your hair is straight, you will want a volumizing shampoo/conditioner to minimize flatness. If your hair is course, kinky, or damaged you will want a shampoo/conditioner that can treat damage, detangle, and soften. You will need shampoo, conditioner, a towel, a comb, and a cup. You will also need a sink, and possibly a step stool. A few extra towels are always a good idea. Prepare yourself for hair washing by rolling up your sleeves, or even taking off your shirt. You may also want to place a towel around your neck. You'll want a sink that is large enough to fit your head under the faucet. You'll also want a sink that is a good height for you to bend over into (a sink that sits at your belly button will be perfect). If your sink has a sprayer, that is an added benefit!  Use a step stool if your sink is too high. Kitchen sinks tend to be larger and more commonly have sprayers. For this reason, kitchen sinks usually work best. Let the water run until it is warm. You want the water to be nice and comfortable, but not too hot.

Article in English: Different insects live in different places, and there are certain circumstances where it is more likely to be bitten by each of them.  If you were outdoors, and perhaps near a wooded area, you were probably bitten by a mosquito, tick, or spider. If you were near food or garbage, you may have been bitten by a fly, or stung by a bee or wasp. If you were indoors, sitting somewhere or playing with a pet, it may be fleas. In the United States, scorpions are only found in the South and Southwest, particularly Texas and Arizona. Scorpion stings are extremely painful, and most of the time they are easy to rule out. If you were bitten in the southeastern part of the United States by a fly-like creature whose sting feels like a mosquito bite, it may be a deer fly. If you were bitten in your bed while sleeping, it may be bedbugs. If you were bitten on the beach, particularly in the southeast, it may be sand fleas. This is the most common visible symptom of an insect bite, and depending on other symptoms could be from a variety of insects.  A single bite mark is probably from a mosquito or fly. You may notice a tiny bite mark in the center of the mound of a mosquito bite.  Flea bites are a number of small, itchy mounds grouped together. You will probably find them in areas where your clothes fit tightly to your body, such as around your waist. Bedbug bites will be itchy red bumps, maybe with a blister, grouped in rows of two or three. Other types of bites or stings involve the swelling of the skin around the bite area.  Fire ant bites will cause swelling (as much as 1/2 inch) and will fill with pus. They may blister over after a few days.  Scorpion stings can cause swelling, as well as redness of the skin and pain or numbness in the area. Scorpion stings can be very dangerous, and they make most people very ill. Call emergency services or seek medical treatment right away if you suspect a scorpion sting. Stings from these insects will cause an immediate sharp or burning pain and swelling. They will leave a red welt...

Article in English: Different items have different requirements and require different approaches to hang properly. The most basic type of wall hanging, the poster, will only require thumbtacks, but other decorations such as large framed portraits and photographs may require more secure fastening methods. Generally speaking, the most reliable way to hang a picture on a wall is from an anchor screw attached to a wall stud, which is what this guide explains how to do. If you are unsure of how you should hang your picture, this method is a good safe bet. A stud is a reinforced part of the wall underneath the plaster and drywall finish that is designed to bear a heavier load than the rest of the wall. Studs are essential for all but the lightest pictures and frames, as hanging heavier objects from plain drywall can cause tears over time. Electronic stud finders are available in any home supply or hardware store. Most are used by pressing them to the wall and running them along it until a stud is found, whereupon the stud finder will beep and/or light up.  Read the instructions for your electronic stud finder carefully. Many stud finders have two sets of indicators: one for studs, and one for live electric wiring. Be sure you know which indicator is which before driving your fastener into the wall. If you don't want to purchase an electronic stud finder, you can use your hand to estimate where studs are. Rap the wall with your knuckles and listen carefully until you get a very shallow and dull sound from it. That spot is where a stud is hiding. To double-check that you have found a stud and not something else, knock around for other studs. They are normally spaced between 15 and 24 inches from each other. If you are able to discern a regular pattern, it is likely that you have indeed found a stud. Assuming you will be using a stud to hang a picture, you will need a type of round headed screw called a drywall anchor. The humble finish nail, which is 1½ to 2 inches (5.1 cm) long and bears up to a few pounds even without a stud, is fine...

Article in English: Different kinds chocolates have different kinds of cacao concentrations, as well as cocoa butter concentrations. Knowing which type of chocolate you're working with is essential to tempering correctly.  Dark chocolate (no milk content) tempers ideally at 88-90°F (31-32°C) Milk chocolate tempers ideally at 86-88°F (30-31°C) White chocolate tempers ideally at 80-82°F (27-28°C) There are several different stages to crystallization of cocoa butter fats. Melting and tempering good chocolate is all about getting the crystals to stage V of the process:  Stage I — 17 °C (63 °F) — Chocolate is soft, crumbly, and melts too easily Stage II — 21 °C (70 °F) — Chocolate is soft, crumbly, and melts too easily Stage III — 26 °C (79 °F) — Chocolate is firm, snaps poorly, and melts too easily Stage IV — 28 °C (82 °F) — Chocolate is firm, snaps well, but melts too easily Stage V — 34 °C (93 °F) — Chocolate is glossy, firm, snaps well, and melts near body temperature Stage VI — 36 °C (97 °F) — Chocolate is hard and takes too long to form

Article in English: Different kinds of spiders weave different kinds of webs. Observing the web will not be possible in all cases, as not all spiders leave their egg sacs in their webs. However, if you can’t tell what kind of spider you’re dealing with just by looking at the egg sac, then it is a good idea to check out the web. Common spider web patterns include:  Orbs. Circular patterned webs. Cobwebs or tangle. Messy looking fluffy webs that often appear in the corners of ceilings. Funnels. Webs in the shape of a tunnel that are located in low-traffic areas. Sheet webs. Flat sheet-like or bowl shaped webs. Wooly webs. Slightly sticky webs with an indistinct shape. Spiders make their homes in all sorts of places. You might find a web in a hole in a brick wall, the corner of a room, a tree, or a pile of dead leaves. Considering the location of a web will help you narrow down the possibilities for what type of spider’s eggs you are looking at. For example, tarantulas often live in burrows in the ground with a thin web covering the opening, disc web spiders often make their small grey webs on tree bark and brick walls, and comb footed spiders often make their webs in houseplants. Because many types of spider egg sacs look similar, it can be difficult to identify one without seeing the spider that left it. Some spiders lay their eggs and then depart, in which case you won’t see them around, but a number of them will stay close and protect the eggs until they hatch. If you do find the spider that made the egg sac you are trying to identify, getting a good look at the spider is your best chance at getting an accurate identification. Spiders come in many different colors and patterns. Some, like the distinctive Black and Yellow Garden Spider, are immediately recognizable, while others are more common looking.  Try to notice the details. For example, if the spider is brown, what shade of brown is it? Does it have any other markings? Is it the same shade of brown over her entire body? All spiders are covered with small hairs, but this...

Article in English: Different negative behaviors likely have different causes, and thus different solutions. Typically, it is too difficult to address all of these at once. Additionally, focusing on one thing is more likely to be successful. If your autistic child can explain why he or she does what he does, that is an excellent place to start. The behavior may be a solution he or she has come up with to solve a problem (such as humming in class to drown out unpleasant sensory input). In this case, your goal is to expand their repertoire of ways to solve the problem.  Encourage self-advocacy. Teach the child to speak up, using words or AAC. Reward this by paying attention and respecting what they have to say. Explain other people's thoughts and feelings in a clear, concrete way. It may help to draw stick-figure pictures, with thought bubbles, where you and the child can write down what others are thinking. To identify possible reasons for the behavior, keep a log of what happens before the behavior, the behavior itself, and what happens afterwards. It won't be as direct as asking the child, but if the child cannot speak or use AAC, it is your best bet.  Example log entry: At 4:30, Joey came into the kitchen and grabbed two cookies. When I told him he could not have them, he began to throw a tantrum. When he calmed down, I gave him a cookie. After math class, Marcia and her peers went to the school assembly. Marcia grew increasingly agitated as we waited, and began chewing on her fingers. This escalated until she was viciously biting her own arms. An aide took her to the office so she could calm down. Joey's tantrums are the result of a desired item (cookie) being taken away after he tried to access them inappropriately. Brainstorm possible reasons: perhaps Joey is very hungry at 4:30, and wants to express that he needs something to eat. Marcia began biting herself as she waited for the assembly. School assemblies can be quite loud, and perhaps they feel frightening or painful to her. Anxiety about a painful assembly could cause...

Article in English: Different occasions and events call for different types of ‘thank you’ etiquette.  While there’s no rule that says you must follow these guidelines, they have become tradition.  It is typical to send a ‘thank you’ note or card for the following reasons:  Receiving any type of gift, including money.  The gift may be for your birthday, anniversary, graduation, house warming, holiday, etc. Attending a dinner party or special occasion (i.e. Thanksgiving) at someone else’s house. It is customary to send a handwritten 'thank you' card to anyone who has done one of the following things for your wedding.  It is also customary to send the card within 3 months of the event, although it is much easier to keep yourself up-to-date if you send cards when you receive gifts instead of waiting until after the wedding is over.  Someone who has sent you a gift for your engagement, wedding shower or wedding, including money. Someone who was a member of your wedding party (e.g. bridesmaid, maid of honour, flower girl, etc.). Someone who hosted a party of some kind in your honour (e.g. wedding shower, engagement party, etc.). Someone who helped you plan or execute your wedding, including the vendors and suppliers who made your wedding a success (e.g. baker, flower arranger, decorator, chef, etc.). Anyone who went out of their way to help you while you were preparing and planning your wedding (e.g. the neighbour who mowed your lawn, etc.). If you have been interviewed for a job, internship, or volunteer position, you should send a ‘thank you’ note or card to the interviewer as soon as possible after the interview is finished.  Make sure you personalize the card or note to be specific about the job for which you were interviewed, and even mention something specific from the interview. Ensure that you’ve spelled everyone’s name properly.  There would be nothing worse than sending a ‘thank you’ note after an interview and spelling the interviewer’s name wrong.

Article in English: Different ovens take different amounts of time to preheat, so make sure the oven is up to the right temperature before you insert the chicken for reheating. Because the chicken has already been cooked, you don’t really need a roasting dish with deep sides, because there won’t be juices running off the chicken. However, a roasting dish is still a good size for reheating a rotisserie chicken.  Rub butter or oil on the surface of the dish, or spray it with nonstick cooking spray, to keep the chicken from sticking to it. Place the whole rotisserie chicken in the dish. Then, cover it with aluminum foil. Place the dish in the properly preheated oven, making sure it’s in the center rack for even heat application. Depending on how large your chicken is, you might need a little more or less time, but it should take about 25 minutes for your chicken to reheat thoroughly.  Begin checking the temperature a few minutes early, especially if your chicken is on the small side. Don’t let the chicken overcook, as it gets tough and dry—especially the white meat. Remove the chicken from the oven, using oven mitts and trivets to protect your hands and the counter from the hot container. Let the chicken rest at room temperature for about 5 minutes before cutting into it. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, keeping it moist when served.

Article in English: Different parts of the book will require their own cleaning methods. You’ll want multiple tools on hand to address any potential problems your book may have.  An artgum eraser is the perfect object for removing small pencil marks, smudges, and medium-sized blemishes on the pages. A soft cloth such as cut-up white t-shirt works well for gently cleaning surface dirt. You can also try an electrostatic cloth for an option that both lifts and holds dirt. You’ll need a small, soft brush, such as a toothbrush, to clean bindings and page edges. If your book is extremely dirty or dusty, you might need to vacuum the surface. You’ll need a vacuum with a low-suction setting and a soft-brush attachment.  A document cleaning pad, which is a sieved cloth filled with eraser dust, will help remove a layering of dust from the pages, as well as smudges from matte dust jackets. You’ll need a few different supplies to deal with your book’s various components and unique trouble spots. Be sure to have access to petroleum jelly, a book cleaner putty, absorbent paper towels, and baking soda. Once you’ve collected all your supplies, set them up in a well-lit, comfortable work area. You’ll want plenty of space to spread out in an area you don’t mind getting a bit dirty.

Article in English: Different parts of the moon are illuminated during waxing and waning. In the Northern Hemisphere, the part of the moon that is illuminated will appear to grow from right to left until it’s full, and it will then diminish from right to left.  A waxing moon will be illuminated on the right side, and a waning moon will be illuminated on the left side.  Hold out your right hand with your thumb out, palm facing the sky. The thumb and forefingers make a curve like a backward C. If the moon fits in this curve, it's a waxing moon (increasing). If you do the same with your left hand and the moon fits in the "C" curve then it is waning (decreasing). Since the moon always follows the same illumination pattern, you can use the shape of the letters D, O, and C to determine if the moon is waxing or waning. During the first quarter, the moon will look like a D. When it’s full, it will look like an O. And when it’s in the third quarter, it will look like a C.  A crescent moon in the shape of a backwards C is waxing A half or gibbous moon in the shape of a D is waxing. A half or gibbous moon in the shape of a backwards D is waning. A crescent moon in the shape of a C is waning. The moon doesn’t always rise and set at the same time, but changes depending on what phase it’s in. This means you can use the time of moonrise and moonset to determine if the moon is waxing or waning.  You can’t see a new moon because it isn’t illuminated by the sun, and because it rises and sets at the same time as the sun. As the waxing moon moves into its first quarter, it will rise in the morning, reach its height around dusk, and set around midnight. Full moons come up when the sun goes down and set when the sun comes up. As the waning moon moves into its third quarter, it will rise at midnight and set in the morning.

Article in English: Different people have different forms of learning that work best for them. Some people are visual learners, which means they learn best from images and reading. Some people are auditory learners, which means they most clearly remember what they hear. Jingles and songs can help them remember information. And some people are tactile learners, also called kinesthetic learners. They learn best by physically handling the things they are learning about. Figure out your learning style and use techniques that best work for you to help study.  For example, a tactile learner would best learn how a clock works by taking one apart and putting it back together. A visual learner would look at a diagram of how the clock worked. A reading/writing learner would read an essay about the clock's function and take notes. An auditory learner would listen to a lecture about it. If you're not sure what you're learning style is, you can take an online quiz about it here: http://www.educationplanner.org/students/self-assessments/learning-styles-quiz.shtml Acronyms are made up of the first letter of each word you are trying to remember. One example is the acronym PEMDAS, for remembering that the order of operations in arithmetic is: Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. Flashcards are another good tool for memorizing large amounts of information. Try building a visual memory of things you need to remember if you're a visual learner. For example, if you have to recite a long poem for your English class, try to picture each line or verse as a specific image. Even if your teacher posts notes online, the physical act of taking notes will make the concepts stick better so that you don't have to frantically learn everything before the test. Studies have shown that you remember more if you take notes by hand instead of on the computer. Try not to just copy what the teacher has written on the board, but also write down important things your teacher says. Whenever your teacher starts a new topic, mark a...

Article in English: Different people react to miscarriage in different ways, but everyone — regardless of the circumstances of the miscarriage — needs time to heal. It is important to grieve the loss of your baby as much as you need, as this helps you to accept the loss and begin the healing process.  If you are feeling constantly down and can't seem to recover from your miscarriage, it might be a good idea to seek the help of a counselor. They can help you to work through your feelings and allow you to make sense of what you're going through. It is important to find a counselor that you feel comfortable around, so you feel comfortable opening up about your sadness, fear and anxiety. The hormonal changes that take place in the mother's body following a miscarriage can heighten feelings of sadness or anger, which your partner may not be able to fully understand. Therefore, finding a friend, a close relative or even a support group to whom you can express your feelings is very important. This helps to promote healing and prevent depression.  However, it's important to be be conscious of the fact that a miscarriage is a distressing experience for both the mother and the partner. Both experience the emotional strain of losing the baby, so don't shut your partner out — it is essential that you support each other throughout the grieving process. Also try to keep in mind that both partners may grieve differently. For example, you may cry out loud, while your partner keeps their grief to themselves. This does not mean that their pain is any less real, so try to be understanding. Once you get over the initial physical symptoms of a miscarriage, it's recommended that you work out as much as possible. Any form of exercise is good, as it reduces the levels of androgens (stress hormones) in our body and releases endorphins (happy, relaxing hormones) instead.  Start out by going for a daily 20 minute walk to get the blood flowing — the fresh air will do you good. After that, you can move on to more strenuous activities, like running, biking...
