Article in English: Since MS Paint works with very basic pixels, if you want to make your drawing really nice you'll need to increase the canvas size. Do this by clicking the resize button and set the dimensions somewhere above 2000 pixels. This process will be much faster if you do a real-life sketch and scan it or photograph it in order to get it on your computer. You can also sketch the picture in MS Paint, but you will need to sketch it in very light gray. If you do scan your drawing, just open the file in MS Paint in order to start turning it into a beautiful drawing, but be sure you have the original sketch saved separately somewhere else too (in case you make mistakes and need to start over). Using the curve tool, create the main lines of your drawing in black. Find a single continuous line (like the upper arch of the eye) and click on the beginning and then then end of the line. Then, use your mouse to grab the straight line that was created and pull it into the curve to match your sketch. Do this until all your drawing is recreated in black. The black is important. You can always change the color of these outline lines later, but for now do them in black. Now it's time to get rid of that sketch! Click select, right-click on the picture, and then invert the colors. Then switch the color to strict black and white by clicking File → Properties. Click OK, let it make the switch, and then switch it back into color the same way. Invert the picture again and you'll have clean art. Saving a copy of just your plain black lines can be really helpful, especially if you make a mistake and need to restore them. Use the fill tool to fill in all of your base colors. Make sure that you get all of the little extra pixels that can get caught between lines that are close together or angles. Now for the fun part. Select all and copy your drawing as it is now. Then, choose an area that you want to shade (say, the hair). Select that base color and set it to color 2. Then, make color 1 your shading color. Use any of the tools to do the...

Article in English: Since Scorpios love to be in control, maintain your own control of the situation by playing to their expectations. As hunters, they love the thrill of the chase, so think of yourself as prey for them to hunt. Present yourself as a prize who is truly worth hunting. Scorpios love to hunt, but they need something to go after. Initiate contact. Flirt a little to taunt them into chasing you, or let them catching you sneaking peeks at them from across the room. Keep it subtle. Spark their interest by indicating your own without throwing yourself at them. Once they go for the bait, pull back a little and make them work for it. Act a little aloof, but no so much that you come across as cold, bored, or distant. Engage in conversation to show you’re interested in them, but hold your best bits back at first to maintain a sense of mystery about yourself. Even if you have a million things to say about the weather, use the less-is-more tactic. Whether or not they’re right, Scorpios might view your nonstop small talk as the sum total of all you have to say. If and when you do have to resort to small talk, keep steady eye contact and lean in close to indicate that the topic at hand is really just an excuse for you to talk to them. Avoid coming across as easy prey. Even if you already think the world of them, keep that to yourself for now. Scorpios love challenges, so make them think they have a way to go in order to impress you. If you happen to disagree with something they say, say so. Be provocative by challenging what they believe. Keep it friendly, though. Frame your arguments by saying, “Well, I believe …” or “I just think …” instead of stoking their competitive streak too much by flat-out declaring, “You’re wrong.” Scorpios crave real connections and strong chemistry, so improve your chances by making each moment about the two of you and no one else. Either plan ahead to have a one-on-one encounter, or draw them into a private corner if you find yourselves at larger gatherings. Prove yourself to be secure enough to...

Article in English: Since WhatsApp doesn't have sticker support, you'll actually be sending regular image files instead. You can find image files for stickers online, and then save these to send as stickers in WhatsApp. WhatsApp does have animated stickers. The image will send, but only the first frame will be shown. You can send any image using WhatsApp, so if you find something online that you think would make a good sticker, you can use it. You can save images from any website if you feel it would be a good sticker. Once you've found an image that you want to use, press and hold on it to open the image menu. Select "Save Image" to save the image to your device's Photos or Gallery app. Tap the "Attach" button on the conversation screen and browse through the images stored on your device. The image that you saved may be in an album called "Downloads". The smaller the image is, the more sticker-like it will appear to be.

Article in English: Since Windows XP is no longer being updated, any exploits found will not be fixed. This means XP is now an unsecure operating system, and you should take every precaution when using it to help prevent getting attacked. Creating a limited account and primarily using it will prevent malware from performing administrator actions if you get infected. This means you will need to log into your administrator account any time you want to install or uninstall software, or make changes to the system settings. It's a pain, but one of the best ways to ensure that your computer is secure as possible. Dump IE as soon as possible, as the Windows XP version is no longer updated and is not secure. Two of the most popular and secure browser replacements include Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Consider not connecting your XP computer to the internet at all. It will be inconvenient, but your chance of getting infected will go way down (you will still be vulnerable to threats from USB drives). Some versions of Windows XP will come bundled with an antivirus program trial. Uninstall this first, and then download and install a new antivirus program. This is incredibly important if you plan on spending any amount of time connected to the internet.  See this guide for details on installing an antivirus program.  Antimalware programs are important as well (Malwarebytes, Spybot, etc.) Replace Windows firewall. Many paid antivirus programs come with firewall replacements. You should enable these instead of Windows Firewall, as they are more likely to be updated and kept secure. Since Windows XP will no longer be updated, it's important to ensure that your programs are running their latest version to reduce the chance of exploits. Some programs will check for updates automatically, while others will release updated versions on their websites. If you are using Office 2003, you'll want to upgrade as soon as possible. Like Windows, it is now longer being updated, and Office is a notoriously exploitable program. Either update to a newer...

Article in English: Since a late period could indicate that you are pregnant, it might be helpful to take a pregnancy test. You can purchase reliable at-home pregnancy tests from most pharmacies and grocery stores. These tests involve urinating on the test stick and waiting a few minutes for the results to appear. At-home pregnancy tests are typically quite accurate. However, for the most accurate pregnancy tests, you should visit your doctor's office. There are many physical factors that could be delaying the onset of your menstrual cycle. If you are worried, make an appointment with your doctor so that they can run some tests to determine the cause. At the very least, your doctor will be able to rule out some of the more serious medical possibilities and offer you some peace of mind. Your doctor will run tests to determine possible medical causes of your delayed period – like hormonal imbalance, thyroid issues, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). In addition to preventing pregnancy, birth control pills are often used to help regulate periods. This kind of medication is quite effective at causing your body to begin the menstrual cycle at the same time each month.  Remember that birth control pills aren't for everyone. If you are forgetful about taking medicine, it won't be as effective for you. If you are a smoker, there is a greater risk of stroke for those who take the pill and are over 35 years old. Other forms of contraceptives may also help regulate your period – like intrauterine devices (IUDs). Ask your doctor which type is best for you based on your specific medical history, lifestyle, and personal preferences.

Article in English: Since anemia shares symptoms with many other conditions, your doctor may need to ask a lot of questions to determine which course of action to take. Talk to your doctor about the symptoms you are experiencing and give him or her information about your diet, lifestyle and family health history. Once your doctor has determined that you may have anemia, this test will be administered to determine the shape and count of your red blood cells.  If the lab results are positive for anemia, they will also tell the doctor which type of anemia you have. Your doctor will work with you to prescribe treatment, which varies according to the type of anemia you have.  Treatment for nutritional anemia is changes to diet, vitamin and iron and supplements or vitamin B-12 injections. Early acquired or genetic anemia may require red blood cell transfusions or hormone injections.

Article in English: Since ants are tiny, they can find thousands of tiny doorways into your residence. Some of them are easy to identify; others will only be discovered when there's a parade of ants marching through them. First, figure out where the ants are entering the house: follow the trail of ants to see where they're entering and leaving your home. Seal all the entrance holes that you can find using silicone caulk, putty, glue or plaster. Temporary methods might include petroleum jelly or poster tack. If you use a temporary sealant, like poster tack, only do so until you can fill the space with a more permanent solution. A weaker material will deteriorate over time, and the gap will open up again. Close the gaps around windows, doors, and walls. Block off any space that might permit passage to an ant army. Your sealing efforts will be most effective if you're thorough. An additional benefit of sealing off your home: more effective temperature control, and thus lower energy bills. Plus, this is one of the least risky methods where kids or pets are concerned. This is a somewhat more aggressive tactic than simply caulking up the cracks. You can create barriers of chemicals and powders that repel— even kill— unwitting ants. Consider diatomaceous earth, salt, and even commercial ant poisons. This might function as a form of baiting.  Diatomaceous earth is a fine powder that kills ants by pulling all the moisture from their bodies. It works by absorbing moisture from the ant itself, but it's best used in dry environments. You also don't want anyone in the house (especially pets and children) sniffing it up. Try using salt. It has a similar drying-out effect on ants, especially if they carry it back to their nests. You can spread it under doors, near windows, and along the edges of your walls. Line your kitchen with adhesive tape, sticky-side up. No poison or messy powders necessary. When ants try to climb over the tape, they may stick to the adhesive – effectively stopping them in their tracks. Make sure that the ants can't...

Article in English: Since ants love to feast on small food particles, don’t let dishes and other dirty utensils sit in your sink for an extended period of time. After washing dishes, wipe down the sink with a paper towel to be sure that you have removed any sweet residues from the sink surface. Consider pouring a small amount of bleach or vinegar down the sink drain to help clear away any remaining food particles that could attract ants. Bleach, much like vinegar, erases ant’s pheromone trails and can help reduce the number of ants you find crawling around. Wipe down surfaces such as countertops, refrigerator tops, cabinets, and other areas to help keep ants at bay. Kitchen floors are perfect areas for ants to find small particles of food to take back to their colony. Be sure to sweep and mop your floor regularly (if not every night) with warm water and bleach to keep ants from crawling around underneath your feet. It doesn’t take much food bits or spill residues to attract ants and bring their friends along with them. Along with sweeping and mopping, vacuum any areas where food is eaten. This could mean living rooms, dining rooms, or basements. You want to pick up any small particles of food that could entice ants to come into your house and feast. Any sitting food or dripping juices in your garbage will immediately attract ants into your house. Be sure to take your garbage out everyday, and use strong, durable bags that are less likely to puncture and spill waste. Ants will search your house for food wherever they can find it, so it’s really important to keep food products stored and sealed tightly. Consider keeping sticky foods such as honey, molasses, and syrups in the refrigerator. Consider keeping baking goods (sugar, flour, etc.) and cereals in airtight containers or bags. Check around your house for any foundational wood pieces, shingles, or frames that might be starting to decay. Decaying wood is where a lot of ants like to nest and enter through, into homes. If you find any areas of decay, consider replacing those...

Article in English: Since anything water-based can potentially tarnish your costume jewelry, even perfume and lotions can tarnish the finish.  If you spray your perfume and put on your lotions first, you will reduce the chances they will coat the jewelry. Wait until your body is dry. Then, put on your costume jewelry. This should prevent some of the build-up on fake jewelry that makes it look dull and requires that you do frequent cleaning. If you wipe your jewelry down with a clean microfiber cloth after each use, you won’t have to clean it as often.  It also will continue to look like new for longer periods of time. Wiping it down daily also limits your jewelry exposure to water or anything that it might have been exposed to when you were wearing it that day. You might try storing the jewelry in ziplock bags. Designate one piece per bag. Put the jewelry in. Squeeze all the air out of the bag. Then close it.  With the air removed, the metal cannot oxidize or turn green from exposure to the air. So, it will look cleaner and newer for a longer period of time. Keeping your jewelry in a jewelry box that has a closing lid and a velvet lining limits your jewelry’s expose to air as well and also keeps it from being scratched.

Article in English: Since bacon is naturally fatty, grease will likely drip off of the bacon and onto the tray beneath the cooking basket. To prevent the grease from burning and making smoke, add a bit of water to the tray. This will help the grease cool.  To minimize the amount of fat that drips from your bacon during cooking, dab individual pieces with paper towel before placing them in the cooking basket. Smoke from fat and grease is white. If there is ever black smoke coming from your air fryer, turn it off.  Once the machine has cooled, look inside the heating element compartment and clear any food that has gotten into it. Once you’re finished with the air fryer, turn it off.  The machine may have a shut down process that allows the fan to continue running as it cools down.  As such, don’t be alarmed if it’s still making noise, just check to ensure it is turned off. The fan will likely turn off after 20 to 30 seconds. Do not handle the air fryer until it has cooled down. Unplug the machine and remove the cooking basket and drawer. Be sure to wash the basket, the drawer that holds the basket, and the drip tray beneath the basket.  Use a sponge or soft brush to avoid damaging the non-stick coating of the basket. Soaking these pieces in soapy water may make cleaning easier. These items are also likely top-rack dishwasher safe. Wipe down the surface of the machine with a damp clean cloth and spot clean any particular locations that need it. After cleaning and rinsing, plug the machine back in. Turn it on for two or three minutes. This will dry all of the components of the machine better than you could by hand. Don't forget to turn it off and unplug it after it has dried. Always store your air fryer in a clean, dry area.

Article in English: Since bacteria love sugar, you want to limit the amount of sugar you eat. Studies have indicated that foods with a low GI can reduce the severity of acne. These low GI foods release sugars slowly into your blood. Low GI foods include:  Most vegetables, except beetroots, pumpkin and parsnips Nuts Most fruit, except watermelon and dates. Mango, banana, papaya, pineapple, raisins, and figs have medium GI. Whole wheat, pumpernickel, whole grain breads Bran cereals, Natural Muesli, rolled oats Brown rice, barley, whole grain pasta Legumes Yogurt Vitamin D promotes healthy skin. The most efficient way to get Vitamin D is to go out into the sun for 10 to 15 minutes a day. Sunlight triggers the skin's production of Vitamin D. When going out into the sun for longer than that, protect your skin from harmful UV rays with sunblock. Vitamin D can also be absorbed from food. Vitamin D can be found in fish and cod liver oil, and dairy, like milk, yogurt, and cheese. Many foods are fortified with vitamin D. Vitamin A is very important for skin health. Keeping your skin healthy can help reduce the risk of acne. Foods high in Vitamin A include:  Vegetables like carrots, spinach, pumpkin, red peppers, sweet potato, broccoli, summer squash Fruit like mangoes, cantaloupe, apricots Legumes Meat and fish Foods high in omega-3 fats can help those with acne. Omega-3s are believed to help control molecules in the body that produce oil and cause acne. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in:  Avocados Vegetables, like spinach, sprouted radish seeds, and chinese broccoli Fish , like salmon, sardines, mackerel, whitefish, and shad Seeds and nuts, like flaxseeds and flaxseed oil, chia seeds, butternuts, and walnuts Herbs and spices, like basil, oregano, cloves, and marjoram

Article in English: Since bookshelves aren't normally meant to sit on, this one is probably better for kids than adults, but hacking an Ikea shelf actually makes a great place to get little ones ready for school. Try the narrow Expedit shelf (one 5-shelf column), which is handy because the square shelves allow the accompanying storage baskets and bins to work in this orientation as well. This will give you a great place to sit your preschooler down to change shoes, hats, mittens, as well as store backpacks and other items. Build the shelf as described in the product's instructions and then turn it on its side. The side on the floor will eventually become the top or seat of the bench. Go to your local hardware store and pick out some legs for your bench. You can get wheels (like the kind you see on shopping carts) or wooden or metal furniture feet. Whatever you feel matches with your decoration and your needs. Attach the feet at the corners of the bench as described in the instructions for the product you buy.   At least four feet are necessary. Six are recommended. Make sure the screw does not interfere with the other pieces holding the shelf together. Be strategic! Turn the shelf so that it sits on its new feet. You now have a bench! Either make a custom cushion or buy relatively flat, square cushions to go on top of the bench. Glue strips of velcro to the top of the bench and then attach the other side of the velcro to the underside of your pillows. It is best to put the soft, fluffy side of the velcro on the pillows, as it will make them easier to wash. You can add finishing touches by painting the bench a different color, if you want to. You can also buy baskets or other storage items to go in the shelves.

Article in English: Since commercially-manufactured meat is produced under conditions that harm the environment, becoming a vegetarian or vegan is a green choice. Industrial-scale meat production is cruel to animals and causes both air and water pollution. In addition, mass-produced meat is often pumped full of hormones that are unhealthy for animals and humans alike.  A vegetarian diet is meat and fish free, while the stricter vegan diet contains no animal products at all. Decide which lifestyle makes the most sense for you. Ethically produced meat is a good alternative to commercially-produced meat if you don't want to give it up completely. Try eating only meat that you bought from a farm that you have visited. Planting a vegetable, fruit and herb garden is a fulfilling experience. Completely eliminating the processing that happens to get commercially-grown produce to your door is a very green choice. If you've never gardened before, start small. You don't need much space to grow enough vegetables and herbs to last the summer. Try these easy plants to start:   Tomatoes  Squash  Lettuce  Potatoes  Onions  Garlic  Strawberries  Basil  Dill Most cleaning products can be made at home, and they often work just as well as the store-bought kind. In addition to making your own household cleaners, you can make your own body care products, too. You won't have to throw away plastic bottles or wonder what chemicals you're putting on your body. Try these recipes:   Make Disinfectant  Laundry detergent  Dish Soap  Shampoo  Body wash  Toothpaste If you've accumulated a lot of stuff in your household, don't just throw it in the trash. Make a habit of donating or selling items that still have some life left in them. You could also trade things you don't need anymore for something you want.  Consider holding a clothing swap with your friends. You can all get new treasures without having to pay a dime. Or donate items to product exchange communities like Freecycle. Vow not to let any useful item end up in a landfill.

Article in English: Since copper is quite soft, it should produce a muted, round sound. A test way back in 1867 described copper's sound as "dead," while brass emitted a "clear ringing note." This might be tough to judge without experience, but learning it could prove useful for an antiquing or scrap collection hobby. This works best for thick, solid metal objects. Brass objects made for industrial purposes often have a code stamped on them to identify the exact alloy. In both the North American and European systems, the codes for brass begin with a C and are followed by several numbers. Copper is often left unlabeled, but if you want to be sure, double check the code with this quick guide:  The UNS system in North America uses brass labels beginning with C2, C3, or C4, or fall between C83300 and C89999. Copper, if labeled, can use codes from C10100 to C15999, and C80000–C81399. The last two digits are often dropped. In the current European system, both copper and brass begin with C. Brass ends with the letter L, M, N, P, or R, while copper ends with A, B, C, or D.  Older brass may not conform to these systems. Some older European standards (which were used quite recently) list the element symbols followed by a percentage. Anything that contains "Cu" and "Zn" is considered brass. This test is usually not too helpful, since brass is only slightly harder than copper. Some types of treated copper are particularly soft, so you may be able to scratch them with a US penny (which is never true of brass). However, in many cases there is no convenient object that will scratch one object but not the other.

Article in English: Since cyberbullying happens on electronic devices, you can use that same technology to work in your favor. Many phones and websites have ways of blocking people who are being mean to you.  For instance, on your phone, you can likely block incoming messages and calls from a particular person.  On websites like Facebook, try unfriending and/or blocking the person completely. Sometimes, cyberbullies are referred to as "trolls," and a common internet saying is "Don't feed the trolls." In other words, cyberbullies won't get any enjoyment out of bullying someone if the person doesn't respond at all. Try to ignore the people who are bullying you. If someone is bullying you on a particular website, try avoiding that website so you won't have to read the hateful things the person is saying and so that you won't be tempted to respond. Just like in person, it can help to keep evidence of cyberbullying on hand. Keep emails and messages connected to bullying, and you can even take screenshots of times when cyberbullying has happened. Try to record times and dates, as well. The reason you should keep this information is it makes easier for websites and companies to stop cyberbullying when you present this type of information to them. You can report cyberbullying to the website where it is happening, if it is happening on a social media site, for instance. You can also report it to your school if someone from the school is doing the bullying. If it is more severe, such as if someone is posting inappropriate pictures of you, you can even report it to the police. Just make sure you have your evidence with you when you do. Never give out personal information on the internet. Don't post your home address or your phone number, for instance. Bullies and other predators can use that information to find you, so you want to give them as little information as possible to use against you.

Article in English: Since cycling a tank can easily take up to six or eight weeks, aquarium owners have long been looking for ways to shorten this process. One proven way to do this is to introduce bacteria from a tank that's already been cycled to the new tank. Since you don't have to wait for the bacteria in your tank to start growing naturally, your tank should cycle quicker than it otherwise would. One great source of bacteria is a tank's filter — simply switch the filter media from the established tank to the new tank for a potential boost. Try to use filter media from a tank that's a similar size and has a similar amount of fish. Mis-matching your filters (like, for instance, using a filter from a tank with just a few fish in it to cycle a tank with a greater number of fish) can leave you with greater loads of ammonia than the bacteria are able to process right away. In the same way as filter media can allow you to "transplant" bacteria from an established tank to a new one, an established tank's substrate (the gravelly material at the bottom) can give you the same effect. Simply add a few scoops of substrate on top of the tank's existing substrate to get the benefit. Living plants (as opposed to fake plastic ones) typically speed up the nitrogen cycle, especially if they're introduced from a mature tank. Not only can plants carry beneficial bacteria (just like the substances above), but they also pull ammonia out of the water directly to use in a biological process called protein synthesis. Fast-growing plant varieties (like, for instance, Vallisneria and Hygrophila) tend to absorb the most ammonia. Floating plants also generally work well. One possible downside of using filter media or substrate from one tank to transfer beneficial bacteria to another is that it's also possible to unwittingly transfer other organisms. Many parasites, invertebrates, and assorted microorganisms can be transferred in this way, so be aware of this possibility in advance and never transfer material from a tank that's known to be contaminated...

Article in English: Since dark spots can be caused by a number of different factors, learning about the different types will give you a head start when it comes to figuring out how to get rid of them. Here are the three different types of hyperpigmentation:   Lentigines. These are dark spots caused by exposure to UV rays from the sun. 90 percent of people over the age of 60 have them, but many much younger men and women have sun-related dark spots as well. The spots appear scattered in no particular pattern.  Melasma. This type of dark spots is caused by hormonal fluctuations. Women might see darker splotches appear on their cheeks during times when their hormones are in flux, like during pregnancy or menopause. It's also a side effect of birth control pills and hormone therapy treatments. Melasma can also occur as a result of thyroid dysfunction.  Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). These are dark spots that occur as a result of trauma to the skin, which can be caused by psoriasis, burns, acne, and certain skin care treatments that are hard on the skin. Once you know what you're dealing with, you'll be able to choose a course of treatment and start making lifestyle changes to prevent more dark spots from showing up. Ask yourself these questions to determine what's behind your dark spots:  Do you frequently use a tanning bed or go tanning in the sun? If you tend to get high sun exposure and you don't wear much sunscreen, you might have valentines. Topical treatments and avoidance of sun exposure are the best way to get rid of this type of hyperpigmentation. Do you have a current medical condition for which you're on medication? Are you pregnant, on birth control, or taking hormone therapy? It's possible you have melanoma. This can be difficult to treat, but there are certain methods that can make a difference. Have you had severe acne, plastic surgery, or other long-term skin conditions? You could have PIH, which responds well to topical treatments and may go away with time. The dermatologist will have a special...

Article in English: Since each line must begin with a letter from your subject word, you should always start by writing out the word. This way, you can visualize the poem and start anticipating how your lines are going to come together. Usually, the first letter of each line is capitalized, so it’s easier to see the word that’s spelled out. You might be tempted to start with the first line, but you don’t have to. Look at all the letters you have to work with. What’s the most interesting line you can think of that starts with one of those letters? Begin there, so you know you have at least one line that you absolutely love!  You can write end-stopped lines, meaning each line ends with punctuation or at a logical grammatical break.  You can also write enjambed lines, meaning the lines can be broken wherever you need them to be broken, regardless of punctuation or grammar. Sensory imagery is language that draws on the five senses: sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. Your reader will be able to understand abstract concepts like “love” or “hope” better if they can imagine specific details through their bodies. For example, instead of saying you love your mother, you can say you love the way she smells like onions when she’s done cooking dinner. A simile is a comparison that uses the words “like” or “as”: as red as a rose. A metaphor makes a comparison, too, but instead of saying that one thing is “like” another, it goes a step further and says that the two things being compared are the same thing: the clouds were cotton balls in the sky. Avoid cliches (sayings that have become so common that everybody knows them). Examples include calling something “red as a rose” or comparing clouds to cotton balls. Instead, be as creative as possible! Try to come up with descriptions, images, and comparisons that you’ve never heard before. Just because you finished filling out the lines of your acrostic doesn’t mean you’re done yet! Once you’ve finished your first draft, read it back to yourself and think about how you can make it even better. ...

Article in English: Since electric shavers work by shearing the whiskers instead of shaving them, you want your hair to be upright and brittle. "Lectric Shave" or other, alcohol-based pre-shave lotions remove excess oil and help the hairs on your face stand up, making for an easier dry-shave. Because the electric shaver shears instead of shaves, it can take multiple passes to capture the hair in the small perforations on the shaver head. Be patient as you go over the desired areas, and remember not to press down too hard. Your electric razor will have hair and dead skin will be caught in the device. Lift the head and dump the refuse into a trash bin. Optionally, put a small amount of metal lubricant on the head of the shaver after it's cleaned out. This will make the head of the shaver run smoothly over the surface of your skin.

Article in English: Since everything is no big deal and you're analyzing the process from afar anyway, why in the world would you be anything but calm? You have nothing to lose in 99% of life's situations when it boils down to it, so why waste your energy? Lots of people get stressed out during life's situations -- whether it's meeting a deadline, a fight with a boyfriend or girlfriend, or drama between friends. It's because they care about the outcome -- something you don't do. So the next time you find yourself in a stressful situation, think nothing of it. It'll pass soon enough anyway. In addition to staying calm, it's important to be stoic (showing little emotion). You're not only stress-free since '93, but you're also never angry, sad, or overly happy. The situations around you don't phase you much, so you don't have much reason to feel intense emotion. Whether it's "You killed my fish!" or "I'm dumping you" or "Justin Bieber totally called me last night," your reaction should be as if someone said, "I bought a new lamp today." That's nice and all. Maybe you want to know what color it is, maybe you don't. You'll ask if you feel like it. The world is full of opinions. Everybody has 'em. And most people display them quite readily. You, on the other hand, aren't most people. You see both sides of the coin and analyze situations for what they are -- not seen through a cloud of emotion. That means seeing your side of the coin, too. Sometimes it's hard to see the forest through the trees, but with practice being aware of your own behavior is possible. So when you're fighting with a friend, see what's driving her, but also see what's driving you. When you're dealing with people, you don't necessarily have to respond to their words. You need to respond to what they're actually saying. Ignore the content and rely on the process. It'll help you be objective and removed from the emotions swirling around you. Instead, you'll be thinking about people's predispositions, tendencies, and complexes -- pretty neutral territory. Let's say...

Article in English: Since flash fiction is too short to get into the entire life of your character, you need to choose 1 moment to write about. Consider the theme you chose to write your piece around and chose an event related to it. It could be part of an everyday routine or something large that changes your character’s life. For example, if your theme is about loss, you may write your flash fiction piece about how someone’s daily routine changes the day after someone they loved passed away. Exposition and backstory take up a lot of words when you’re writing a flash fiction piece. Instead of explaining how your character got into a situation, start right when the event occurs. That way, you hook the reader to your story and don’t include boring or unnecessary information.  For example, you may write something like, “Jess walked out into the rain after midnight, thinking of ways she could win back all of the money she had lost at the poker table that night.” If you need to include exposition about your character, work it into their dialogue. The conflict is what causes tension and creates your story. Use your antagonist to challenge your main character so they have something to overcome. That way, your reader will feel satisfied as your character finishes their arc.  For example, if you were writing a story about a boxing match, you may have your antagonist wound your main character so it’s more challenging for your protagonist to win the fight. Don’t use multiple conflicts in a flash fiction piece since it can get confusing and wordy. Many flash fiction pieces end with a surprise ending that the reader doesn’t expect. Make the ending is a resolution to the conflict you told throughout your writing but done in a surprising way. That way, your readers will feel satisfied with the story and want to read it again.  Make sure the surprise fits with the rest of the story. For example, readers would be unsatisfied if a meteor fell out of the sky and stopped a monster from attacking. Do your best to avoid jokey twist endings since...

Article in English: Since hedgehogs don’t have the best eyesight, they’re more sensitive to bright lights and shadows. When you’re picking up your hedgehog, try not to cast a shadow over it or you could scare it. You want your hedgehog to feel as safe and calm as possible while you’re working on taming it. To avoid casting a shadow over your hedgehog, be mindful of nearby lights. For example, if there’s a lamp next to your hedgehog’s cage, avoid standing in front of it when you’re picking your hedgehog up. Just like with bright lights and shadows, hedgehogs are sensitive to loud noises. You don’t want your hedgehog to get scared while you’re holding it, so try to stay as calm and quiet as possible. Avoid yelling, listening to loud music, slamming cabinets or door, or dropping things while you're holding your hedgehog. Trying to rush the taming process with your hedgehog will only make it take longer. Don’t force your hedgehog to give you attention or it will feel scared and threatened. Instead, give your hedgehog plenty of time to get used to your smell and company. Eventually, it will feel safe around you!

Article in English: Since hiatal hernias cause acid reflux symptoms, the first method of treatment is to prevent reflux, reduce acid production, and increase esophagus clearance. This can be done by reducing risk factors and implementing lifestyle changes. Smoking can make your hiatal hernia symptoms worse. Studies have shown that smoking tobacco relaxes this sphincter, a band of muscles around where the esophagus meets the stomach. The sphincter squeezes to prevent stomach contents from coming back up.   Quitting smoking can be challenging. Speak with family, friends, and your doctor if you are seriously considering it. They can motivate and guide you to treatment options such as medications, nicotine patch, nicotine gum, and other healthy choices. Certain types of foods can lead to stomach irritation and increased acid production. In order to prevent and control your symptoms, avoid or limit foods such as:  Chocolate Onions and garlic Spicy foods Fatty foods such as fried foods Citrus foods such as oranges Tomato based foods Alcohol Peppermint or spearmint Carbonated beverages like sodas Dairy products, such as milk and ice cream Coffee In addition to avoiding certain foods, there are foods you can eat which may help you prevent further symptoms from your hiatal hernia. Try to include healthier options for your stomach to handle, such as lean meats like skinless chicken, red meat with little visible fat, ground turkey instead of ground beef, and fish. Lean beef cuts include round, chuck, sirloin, or loin. Lean pork cuts include tenderloin or loin chop. You can also improve your diet by:  Baking or broil foods instead of frying. Skimming off fat from meat during cooking. Trying not to use too much spicy seasoning. Eating low-fat dairy foods, such as low-fat yogurt instead of ice cream. Steaming your vegetables with water instead of broth. Limiting butter, oils, and cream sauces. Use cooking spray instead of cooking oil when sautéing.

Article in English: Since it can be so overwhelming for the novice, it's important for witches who are just starting to explore the world of witchcraft to get help. Find other more experienced witches who will help tutor you in the dark arts, recommend readings, and show you a thing or two about spells. Never lie about your experience or your expertise in witchcraft. If you don't know a wand from a cauldron, don't Try to cast yourself as an experienced witch. Others will respect you less and will see through it. It's better to be honest about your knowledge and be willing to learn. When you first get started in practicing witchcraft, it's a good idea to start your own book of shadows. Again, it doesn't need to be bound in ancient leather and stained with goat blood–just get a composition book. Adorn it as you would a journal, with images you find powerful, moving, or full of witchy wisdom. Use the book to record spells, observations, and incantations as you pick them up from your readings and research. An altar doesn't need to be elaborate, or feature the bleached skull of a 12th century mystic (although that would be awesome). An altar is simply a place where you will practice. It should prominently feature personal totems and inspirational objects, things that are essential to your practice. That may mean crystals, stones, herbs, pictures, and any number of other objects that are important to you. Adorn your alter with important objects.  If you're a green witch, or a Wiccan, it might be a good idea to put laurels, dead flowers, dried herbs, and other natural things on your altar. Find stones that speak to you, strange seashells, or other objects of power and beauty. If you're a druid, or another type of traditional witch, keep lots of pictures of your family, your ancestors, on your altar. If you don't have any, include very old objects–photos of Civil War soldiers, or old pocket watches, things that remind you of the past and help you connect to it. Many (but not all) witches find it beneficial to be in tune with the...

Article in English: Since it has a high smoke point and mild flavor, coconut oil is a great choice for a variety of cooking methods. If you’re sautéing or pan frying, use an equal amount of coconut oil as whatever other fat the recipe calls for (butter, olive oil, vegetable oil, etc.). To roast vegetables with coconut oil, melt 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of the oil—or whatever amount your recipe calls for—over low heat in a small saucepan, then drizzle it over your veggies on the roasting pan. Season and roast the vegetables according to your chosen recipe. Simply make your hot beverage of choice as usual, then stir in 1 tsp (5 ml) of coconut oil before adding any cream or sweetener. The hot liquid will quickly melt the congealed oil.  The coconut oil will create a bit of an oily texture (especially on the surface) and impart a mild flavor to the beverage. If you don’t care for the results, try replacing half of the coconut oil with unsalted butter (or just cut back on the coconut oil and don’t substitute anything else). Is it worth making your morning coffee a bit oily by adding coconut oil? It might be. It's possible, but not certain, that coconut oil may help reduce cholesterol, burn fat, kill harmful bacteria, and improve brain function, among other benefits. Just spoon in 1-2 tbsp (15-30 ml) of coconut oil with the other ingredients and blend them together. Congealed coconut oil may leave small chunks in your smoothie—if this bothers you, melt the coconut oil on the stovetop using low heat, then drizzle it into the smoothie ingredients before blending. Coconut oil tastes great with smoothies that use bananas and other tropical fruits. If your baking recipe calls for another liquid oil, like canola or vegetable oil, use an equal amount of melted coconut oil. You probably won’t notice any difference in flavor or texture. If you want to substitute coconut oil for a solid fat like shortening, butter, or margarine, use a 1:1 ratio of congealed coconut oil and the other solid fat, but add only 75% of the amount called for in the...

Article in English: Since it incorporates meter and time, "rhythm" is a crucial part of how the music feels. However, whereas meter simply tells you how many beats, rhythm is how those beats are used.  Try this: tap your finger on your desk, and count 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4, steadily. Not very interesting, is it? Now try this: on beats 1 and 3, tap louder, and on beats 2 and 4, tap softer. That's got a different feel to it! Now try the reverse: tapping loud on 2 and 4, and soft on beats 1 and 3. Check out Regina Spektor's Don't Leave Me. You can clearly hear the rhythm: the quieter bass note happens on beat 1 and beat 3, and a loud clap and snare drum happens on beats 2 and 4. You'll start to get a sense of how music is organized. That's what we call rhythm! Each footstep will equal one beat. Those are represented musically by quarter notes, because in much of Western music (meaning music of the western world, not just the music of Hank Williams!), there are four of these beats for every measure. Musically, the rhythm of your walking will look like this:  Each step is one quarter note. On a sheet of music, quarter notes are the solid black dots attached to stems without any flags. You can count that off as you walk: "1, 2, 3, 4-1, 2, 3, tw Quarter notes are referred to as "crotchets" in some places, such as the UK.  If you were to slow your pace down to half that speed, so that you only took a step every two beats on the 1 and on the 3, that would be notated with half notes (for half a measure). On a sheet of music, half notes look like quarter notes, only they aren't solid black; they are outlined in black with white centers. In some places, half notes are called "minums". If you slowed your pace down even further, so that you only took a step every four beats, on the one, you would write that as a whole note—or one note per measure. On a sheet of music, whole notes look like "O"s or donuts; similar to half notes without stems. Enough of this slowing down. As you noticed, as we slowed the notes down, we started taking away bits of the...

Article in English: Since it takes a lot of work to change who you are, you should first understand who you are. Societies all over are made up of individuals with different personality types and traits. You'll need to decide what is normal for you. Does it mean breaking the mold or conforming to rules within a strict society? To determine your version of normalcy, ask yourself:  Do you feel most comfortable following orders and maintaining rigid social structures? Do you enjoy the independence of figuring things out for yourself? Are you most happy when everyone around you seems to approve of your actions? Would you rather experiment with new styles of living along with people outside of the mainstream? Even though you're an individual, you still live within a society, be it a neighborhood, community, or region. Each of these has a unique set of norms and values which define what is normal. Think about how social practices and institutions in your society support an idea of normalcy. This will help you express your own identity through your interactions with others. For example, you might live somewhere where it's socially acceptable to speak quickly and somewhat abrasively. But, in another region, that kind of behavior might label you as a social outcast. Being aware of this will help you shape your public image. Everyone experiences emotional ups and downs. Be prepared for these and learn how to take care of yourself during rough times. For example, if you get into a heated discussion with someone about your personal beliefs, you should know what makes a normal, appropriate response. Recognize that reacting aggressively indicates a deeper issue that you need to work through. You'll have a better sense of wellness if you live your life according to your own beliefs and feelings, rather than letting someone else dictate what should be appropriate or normal for you. If you've had a traumatic experience at some point in your life, it's normal to feel isolated or different in some way. Trauma can leave permanent effects on bodily...

Article in English: Since it’s such a rare instrument, you’re going to be hard-pressed to find one in a music store. With a little research, you’ll find a wealth of online retailers who sell what you’re looking for—from Amazon to retailers who specialize in high quality ocarinas.  If you’re just learning how to play this instrument, don’t break the bank on your first ocarina. $20 to $60 should get you the perfect starter instrument. If you find you love your new hobby and want to invest in an instrument, high quality ocarinas can run as high as $500. Ocarinas don’t cover a wide range of sounds, like a piano does, so it’s important to choose an ocarina that’s going to play the pitch you want. In descending order from highest to lowest pitch range, you can find soprano, alto, tenor, and bass ocarinas. The higher the range, the smaller the instrument, so keep that in mind when choosing your instrument. A four-hole or six-hole ocarina will be the best style to learn on, as they are generally inexpensive, light, and easily produce a wide range of notes with very few finger patterns.  A four-hole ocarina can produce a basic scale of eight notes. A six-hole ocarina can produce a basic scale plus semitones. Peruvian ocarinas are beautifully styled and detailed, so you may be tempted to buy one on aesthetics alone. However, they’re usually crafted with cheap materials, and don’t sound very good as a result. They’re more decorative than useful for playing purposes. Plastic ocarinas, although seductively affordable, are often “airy” and improperly tuned.

Article in English: Since knuckle cracking is often a nervous habit, it is often done "automatically." Most of the time people are not even aware they are cracking their knuckles until somebody tells them.  However, if you wish to stop your knuckle cracking habit, it is important to become more aware of when you do it. It may be helpful to rope in a friend or family member to provide a gentle reminder whenever you crack. Knuckle cracking is generally a lot more obvious to outside observers than it is to the crackers themselves. Knuckle cracking may be classified as a nervous habit. Since a nervous habit is in response to stress or anxiety, identifying the source of the stress is the first step in dealing with the habit.  Stress can be specific, like worrying about an upcoming test, or it can be general, like relationships with parents and peers, social acceptance, or any of many other factors. Try keeping a small notebook on you at all times, and make a note each time you crack your knuckles. This will help you to notice any patterns in your knuckle cracking behaviors and help you to identify your triggers. If you are a knuckle cracker or care for someone who cracks their knuckles, be aware that nagging or complaining about the habit is more likely to make it worse than make it go away.  Nagging only leads to more stress, which increases the nervous reaction to that stress. Therefore gentle reminders will be much more helpful and effective than constant nagging. Although nagging or increasing stress is unlikely to help, there are many ways that friends and family can help the knuckle popper. A simple touch on the arm when somebody notices unconscious habits can go a long way to understanding and dealing with the problem. Understand that most knuckle cracking is harmless and will probably go away with time. If the cracking does not coincide with other changes in behavior, patience is probably the best antidote. Understand that prolonged excessive or any kind of habit that has a negative effect on the normal course of life is...

Article in English: Since laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure, most--if not all--insurance companies will not cover it under any policies. So, you will be paying out of pocket for your treatments. Laser hair removal can cost upwards of $150 per session, or more, depending on the size of the area being treated. Many laser hair removal specialists offer financing options to pay for your treatments over time. Keep in mind, though, that these financing options can often come with interest rates and extra fees, and not making your payments can negatively affect your credit score. Laser hair removal should always be performed by a board-certified dermatologist. You can check the American Academy of Dermatology’s database to find a licensed dermatologist near you. Have a consultation with your doctor prior to the procedure to understand costs, possible negative side effects, and after-care. Use this consultation to make sure that laser hair removal is the right choice for you. For most people, you will need multiple treatment sessions of laser hair removal to have full results. Each treatment will cost money, and it may take months to see the results you’re looking for. If you’re after a quicker hair removal option, sticking with shaving, waxing, and hair removal creams might be your best option. Most people require 2-6 treatments, depending on the thickness and coarseness of their hair. Although the most probable side effects are redness and swelling, there is a chance for other side effects as well. The skin may have discoloration, like lightening or darkening, in the treatment area. This is mostly temporary, and will eventually fade. It’s also possible that scarring or even some mild changes in the texture of your skin. Most other side effects are rare. Your doctor will go over all possibilities with you prior to beginning treatments.

Article in English: Since long, straight hair has the same effect as wearing monochromatic colors and vertical stripes—making you look taller—you should choose a look that is layered. Getting a haircut with many long and short layers will distract people from how tall you are.  Many waves in your hair can also achieve this effect. If you have natural waves, use a gel to capture them. If you have naturally straight hair, use a curling iron, overnight curlers, or hot rollers. You can even use a hair dryer over a rounded brush to create waves. If you have long, straight hair that you don't want to cut, you may want to try putting it up in different ways to create the illusion of layers. You can accomplish this by pulling back only the top layer of hair or pinning up different areas of hair. You can also try braiding techniques that make your hair look layered. Avoid hairstyles that add inches to your height, like pompadours and styles with a lot of volume. However, volume is ok if it's below the crown and does not push your hair up above your head. By the same token, avoid messy buns on top of your head. If you want volume, add a volumizing product to the hair around the sides of your face.

Article in English: Since maca comes in a powder, one of the easiest ways to use maca is to put it in things you already drink every day. Add two to three teaspoons of maca powder to rice milk to your favorite cup of tea. It will not change the flavor very much and add all the health benefits of the maca to your diet every day. You can make specialty drinks with maca in them. Try a chocolate maca monster drink, which is a great snack or dessert drink. Blend 2 to 3 tsp maca powder, 8 oz almond milk, 8 oz purified water, 1 cup strawberries or blueberries, 2 tbsp honey, and 2 tbsp of chocolate powder. Blend until combined and enjoy an energy boost that will last hours. Maca works great in smoothies to add more nutrients to the fruits and vegetables already in the mix. For a green food maca smoothie, take 1 handful of any green you choose, such as spinach or kale, and add it to 1/2 to 1 cup of coconut water. Throw in 1 ripe banana, 1 ripe kiwi, 2 to 3 tsp maca powder, 1 tbsp honey or agave nectar, and 1 tbsp coconut butter. Blend in a blender until smooth.  Throw in some ice to make is a cold, refreshing smoothie. You can switch out the ingredients if you don't like kiwis or bananas. Try adding a 1/2 cup of your favorite berries or other fruit such as peaches, apples, or nectarines. Choose whatever fruit combination you like best. Maca powder can be added to many other things. Stir a few teaspoons of it in your morning oatmeal. Add it to the base of any soup your making to add extra nutrients to the mix. Maca can be added to almost any dish, and you can also make recipes with maca as the main ingredient. Don’t use more than a few teaspoons per serving. It might start to overpower other flavors, but use enough to get your daily boost of maca power. You can make yummy maca energy bars to eat as a snack during the day. To make these, chop 1 cup of almonds to a food processor. Add 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, 1/2 cup flax meal, 1/2 cup pepitas, 2 tbsp chia seeds, 2 tbsp maca powder, and 1/2 tsp of salt to a bowl and pour in the almonds....

Article in English: Since mantises might cannibalize each other, purchase a plant for each one that you intend to keep. Pick a tall plant so they have plenty of room to climb. Stick to a small pot, however, so they can find their food at the base more easily.  Choose a plant with plentiful wide leaves so the mantis has adequate shade to escape the sun. Since your mantis won’t be enclosed, be sure to select a breed that doesn’t develop wings so it doesn’t fly away and escape!  If the pot is circular, the diameter of the surface area should be at least three times wider than the mantis’s body length. If the pot is box-shaped, it should be twice as wide as the mantis’s body length and three times as long. Place it on a windowsill so the plant receives direct sunlight and remains healthy. If your windowsill is too narrow, place your plant where sunlight can reach it. Be sure to keep it out of reach of other pets, since dogs or cats may eat your mantis. Collect or purchase other insects with soft bodies to use as pet food. Be sure to use live prey that is only a quarter of the size of the mantis itself. If possible, feed them insects that don’t fly so they don’t escape.  When using a caged enclosure to house your mantis, it’s recommended to keep a continuous supply of food. But since you’re not using a cage, be vigilant with feeding to make sure the mantis is eating regularly. Keep the soil free of fallen leaves or other obstructions where prey can hide. Try using tweezers to offer food. This way you can gauge how hungry your mantis is as well as use prey that is able to fly or otherwise escape. Fruit flies are a popular food for smaller mantises, and crickets for larger ones. Keep the room temperature warm. Mist the leaves and soil regularly to maintain proper humidity. Since you’re keeping your mantis in the open instead of an enclosure, keep a sharp eye on the soil to make sure it doesn’t dry out.  If prolonged sunlight dries your plant quickly on a regular basis, rotate the plant between direct sunlight (for the plant’s health)...

Article in English: Since mob spawners are both incredibly resource-intensive and fairly dangerous to build without fall protection, you might want to build your mob spawner in Creative Mode and then switch the game over to Survival in order to enjoy its benefits. Creating a game in Creative and then switching to Survival will disable achievements for the game. By building a platform high up, you can create a surface on which mobs will gradually begin to spawn. These mobs will eventually find their way into the chute in the middle of the platform; once they end up in the chute, they will fall to their deaths, landing on a set of hoppers at the bottom of the chute. The hoppers will funnel the mobs' drops into connected chests that you can check for loot when necessary. If you're attempting to catch a specific type of mob (e.g., a witch), you'll need to be in the correct location for that mob to spawn (for example, witches spawn near water). To avoid terraforming the area, it's best to find a flat, even place for your mob spawner. You will need to find or build the following items:  Twelve stacks of cobblestone (768 total cobblestone) Eight buckets of water  Four hoppers Four small chests

Article in English: Since mosquito bites are the main source of infection, you will need to cover as much of your exposed skin as possible. Wear long sleeves, long pants, socks, and closed-toe shoes when you are in mosquito-infested areas. You may even want to consider wearing a mosquito net hat when you are out. You can also treat your clothing with permethrin or purchase permethrin-treated clothing to add an extra layer of protection. Applying insect repellent to your body is another effective measure. Make sure that the insect repellant that you choose is Environmental Protection Agency or EPA-registered. You can find this information on the label.  Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use. Reapply the insect repellant as often as the package suggests. Apply sunscreen before you apply insect repellent. Apply insect repellent over your clothes, not under them. If you are caring for someone who has Zika, then make sure that you wear gloves and wash your hands well if you need to clean up the infected person’s blood or bodily fluids. A person may have the Zika virus in their blood for about one week. Zika can be transmitted through bodily fluids, such as semen and blood, so it is important to use protection. Make sure that you protect yourself by wearing a condom every time you have sex. Use a condom even if your partner seems healthy. Remember that in most cases, Zika has no symptoms. Pregnant women may pass the virus onto an unborn child, but it is rare. There have also been some reports of birth defects in babies born to women who contracted the Zika virus while pregnant. For these reasons, pregnant women should be even more cautious and do everything possible to prevent mosquito bites. Keep in mind that the link between Zika virus and the birth defect microcephaly is not fully understood. This condition results in an abnormally small head circumference as well as some developmental delays. In some cases, microcephaly can even be fatal.

Article in English: Since most Macs don't come with a built-in disc slot, you will likely need an external DVD reader to do this.  You can buy an external disk reader from Apple for less than $90. To attach an external DVD reader to your Mac, connect the DVD reader's cable to your Mac's USB port (on the left side of a Mac laptop or on the back of an iMac desktop monitor). The burning process is simplest when the ISO file is somewhere easy to access, such as your Mac's desktop. Click the magnifying glass icon in the top-right corner of the screen. A search bar will appear. This will search your Mac for the Disk Utility app, which is what you'll use to burn the ISO file. It's a grey hard drive icon with a stethoscope on top of it. You should see it at the top of the Spotlight search results. This radioactive symbol-shaped icon is at the top of the window. A pop-up Finder window will appear. Click on the ISO file's location folder (e.g., Desktop) on the left side of the Finder window, then click the ISO file to select it. It's in the bottom-right corner of the window. This will close the Finder window. This option is in the drop-down window at the top of the Disk Utility window. Clicking it prompts the burning process to begin. Depending on the size of the ISO, burning can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. You'll see this in the lower-right corner of the completion window. Doing so concludes the burn process.

Article in English: Since most Windows 10 accounts use a Microsoft account email address and password to log in, you can't reset a hacked computer's main account password like you could in Windows 7 and down. You will, however, be able to access the files of the main account. If the user you're trying to hack is a local user (e.g., a user added to the computer by a Microsoft account), you can change their password like you could in previous Windows renditions. You will need a Windows 10 installation medium such as an installation CD in order to perform this method. If you don't have an installation CD, you can create an installation USB drive by doing the following:  Plug an 8 gigabyte (or larger) USB drive into your computer. Open the Windows 10 download page. Click Download tool now  Double-click the downloaded tool. Follow the on-screen prompts to install the tool to your flash drive. Place the installation CD in the disk drive, or insert the USB flash drive into one of the computer's USB ports. . Click Start, click Power, and click Restart, then immediately begin pressing repeatedly (or holding) your computer's BIOS key until the BIOS launches.  Your BIOS key will depend on the manufacturer of your computer's motherboard, but common keys include the function keys (e.g., F2), the Esc key, and the Del key. If you don't know which key to press or hold, consult your computer's BIOS documentation by searching for your computer's model, the word "bios", and the word "key". Again, this will vary depending on your computer's BIOS; you'll usually open the Boot or Advanced tab, use the arrow keys to select your CD drive or USB drive, and press the + key to move the drive up to the top of the list. As with any BIOS problems, you should consult your BIOS documentation online if you have any trouble. Press the "Save and Exit" key as specified by your BIOS legend, then confirm by pressing another key if prompted. Your computer will resume rebooting, at which point you should see the installation menu appear. Press ⇧ Shift+F10 to do so....

Article in English: Since most modeling jobs have particular types of models in mind, you should have a clear understanding of your own physical attributes. If you’re a woman, measure your chest, waist, and hips, and verify your height and weight. If you’re man, measure your shoulders, waist, and inseam, as well as your height and weight. Keep track of these measurements over time, especially if you’re a younger model. Men in particular continue to add height into their early 20s. As art comes in many forms, there is a wide range of modeling options. Your headshots and portfolio should emphasize your physical attributes and personality, based on the type of modeling jobs that you want to pursue.  If you’re interested in becoming a fashion model, the most exclusive type, the physical standards are quite strict. For example, female models must be “fashion-industry size-standard”, which means you must be  5’9” to 6” tall, have measurements of 34-24-24, wear clothing size 0-4, and weigh between 105-130 pounds, proportional to your height. An “alternative” or “alt” model, on the other hand may not fit the industry standard. Many have tattoos and piercings, as well as atypical hairstyles. Catalog models can be a range of sizes and shapes as well, depending on the clothing designer and retailer. Find a reputable photographer who specializes either in model photography or in headshots. Make sure that you have access to the negatives, too,so that you can build your own composite card and portfolio. Ask the photograph to help you to keep them simple and natural. Modeling agencies and clients are looking for confident models who seem relaxed in front of the camera, not potentially awkward poses or false “glamour.” A composite is an important marketing tool, much like a business card, that agencies and clients will keep as a reference for you.  It consists of a single page, often a 5x7 card, and sometimes a full 8.5x11 sheet, that has your headshot on one side and several photos with your vital statistics (physical characteristics and...

Article in English: Since most of the relevant websites and online applications will cater to different types of meet-ups, it's important to know from the get-go who you're looking to meet. For example, while eHarmony and Tinder are both great for meeting potential romantic partners, eHarmony is often frequented by individuals interested in serious, monogamous relationships, and Tinder is mostly populated by individuals interested in hook-ups. Websites greatly differ in the amount of information they ask of you and the publicity of that information. Online forums for shared interests, such as GradCafe or Heaven Games, are often open to the entire internet, but demand little information of you. Some social profile sites, such as Facebook, demand a lot of personal information, but then permit you to restrict your privacy as far as you desire. Websites also greatly differ in the amount of intimacy their participants expect to share. Online dating websites and applications are often designed with the ultimate aim of meeting people in person. Specialized forums, on the other hand, are designed to facilitate interactions with many different people for the purpose of sharing information, and are often unlikely to lead to either personal relationships or meet-ups in real life. Note that websites and applications that do not select or filter for your specific location make it harder to meet any of your online conversants in person. Practically, your fellow wine-lover a continent apart will not be able to fly in to grab a drink with you.

Article in English: Since most outdoor motion sensor lighting is installed in place of a current porch light, you will need to begin the project by removing the old light. Before you even touch the light, you want to go to your home’s electrical box and cut off the power to the existing light. Test that the power is indeed off by turning on the light switch to the light to make sure it stays off. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws holding the existing light in place. Don’t pull too hard away from the wall since the light is still connected by the electrical wiring in place. To be doubly safe, have a wire tester handy and test the wires connected to the old light to ensure no power is running to them before you actually touch them. You will see three separate wires attached to the light. There will be a white wire (the neutral wire), a green or copper wire (the ground wire), and a black or red wire (the hot wire). Disconnect all three wires from the current light after testing to make sure they aren’t receiving any power. Occasionally, especially on older homes, the hot wire may be a color other than black or red such as yellow. If the current light fixture is especially old, you may want to use having the light off as an excuse to change out the electrical box housing the wiring. This is especially true is you see any evidence of moisture or degraded seals around the box. The box will simply be screwed into place, and you can remove it and feed the same wiring into a new box before screwing it back into place.

Article in English: Since most people aren't aware of their own sleep talking habits, you'll need to talk to the people who have heard you talking in your sleep. Ask them to think about how long the problem has been going on.  If the problem is recent, it most likely has a recent cause. Identifying and eliminating that cause will usually put an end to the sleep talking. Long-term sleep talking is usually harder to get rid of since the cause will be harder to identify. If your current partner or roommate cannot recall a time when you did not sleep talk, ask the people who used to live with you—past roommates, siblings, parents, and so on—if you used to talk in your sleep while you lived with them. More accurately pinning down the start of your problem can lead to a more accurate analysis of what caused it and how to stop it. Make a list of the prescription and non-prescription medications you take on a regular basis. Research each one and determine if any of them have been linked to sleep talking or other sleep problems.  Don't stop taking any prescription medication without first consulting your doctor about it, even if you believe that medicine is responsible for your sleep talking. Even if a certain medication isn't typically linked to sleep talking, you should still mention it to your doctor if your bouts of sleep talking began around the same time you started the medication. There is still some chance that the medication could be connected to the problem somehow. If you're taking recreational drugs, whether legal or illegal, you should also note that they could be involved in the problem, too. Sleep talking is often a sign of physical and mental illness. Ask yourself if there are currently any underlying health issues you may need to address. Taking care of those may also end your sleep talking episodes.  Even short-term health difficulties can trigger episodes of sleep talking. For instance, you might start talking in your sleep if you have a high fever. The sleep talking usually disappears with the fever in these...

Article in English: Since nose bleeds can be caused by personal actions, there are some preventative methods that will help you prevent nose bleeds in the future. You should avoid picking your nose. Picking can cause an injury to the inner sensitive blood vessels of the nose. It can also detach the blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels and cause further bleeding. You should also keep your mouth open while sneezing to prevent the expulsion of air through the nose.  You should keep the inner lining of your nose moist by gently applying a coating of petroleum jelly or nasal gel inside your nose with a cotton swab twice a day.  Always blow your nose gently and do it one side at a time. You should also clip the fingernails of children to avoid further injury. To increase the humidity in your environment, you should buy a humidifier. You can use a humidifier at home or work to prevent excessive dryness, especially in the wintertime. If you do not have a humidifier, a metal container with water can be placed on top of heating radiators to humidify the air. Constipation can lead to bearing down to pass hard stool, which causes an increase in nose bleeds because it strains your blood vessels. This can increase arterial pressure momentarily and dislodge blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels, which can eventually result in further nose bleeds. Constipation can be prevented by eating foods high in fiber and increasing your fluid intake. Do not bear down during bowel movements, since this increases the intra-cerebral arterial pressure thereby increasing the chance of small sensitive blood vessel rupture in the nose  Eating 6 to 12 prunes a day are more effective than dietary fibers and can be used to prevent constipation.  You should also avoid hot and spicy foods. Heat can dilate blood vessels and precipitate bleeding. Saline nose sprays can be used several times each day to keep the nose moist. These nasal sprays are not as addictive as they only contain salt. If you don't want to buy them, you can make your...

Article in English: Since one night stands are almost exclusively physical in nature, you’ll want to make yourself as alluring as possible. Shower and groom yourself meticulously. Pick out a clean, good looking outfit that accentuates your best features. Spritz on a little fragrance. Above all, project confidence. The more assured you appear, the more desirable you’ll be. Devote a little extra time to cleaning up your intimate areas if you think sex might be on the table. When you find a suitable partner, make an effort to learn her name and find out a bit about her. This will give you just enough insight into who you’re with to make your temporary connection memorable. Put her at ease by treating her like a person with a mind of her own, not just a sexual object. It’s one thing to have a fun fling, but no one wants to feel like they’re being used.  Don’t rush things. It only makes you look desperate. No one wants to get together with someone who’s just looking for an easy score. Pay attention to see if she's returning your interest. Coy eye contact, smiling, raised eyebrows and a willingness to flirt in an overtly sexual manner are all good signs. If she purses or licks her lips, touches her hair or body suggestively or emphasizes her erogenous parts to make sure you notice them, it's almost certainly a sure bet.  There’s no time limit for setting up a one night stand. Spend as long as you want getting to know your prospective partner. Make conversation, take her out to dinner, go for drinks. Ideally, you should both be excited by everything that comes before sex, too. As soon as the possibility of physical intimacy gets brought up, be direct with her about your desires. Don’t lie to her, misrepresent your feelings or string her along in order to get what you want. A one night stand should be a consensual experience for both people. You’re both mature, responsible adults and are capable of deciding whether you can live with a one-off hookup.  When it comes time to make your move, do it in a way that isn’t forceful. Say...
