Article in English: Calcium is the single most abundant mineral in your body, and about 99% of it is found in your bones and teeth. Getting sufficient calcium will help you grow healthy bones and maintain bone density. Focus on eating foods that contain lots of calcium to maintain bone density. The recommended daily intake of calcium varies depending on your age and sex.  Adult men under 70 and women under 50 should get at least 1,000mg of calcium per day. Men over 70 and women over 50 should get at least 1,200mg per day. Pregnant or lactating women should consume at least 1,300mg of calcium daily. Many dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, are very rich sources of calcium.  If you choose soy milk, almond milk, or other dairy substitutes, look for ones that have been fortified with calcium. Vegetable sources rich in calcium include turnips and collard greens, bok choi, black-eyed peas, kale, and broccoli.  Sardines and salmon are also excellent sources of calcium and omega-3 fatty acids, which are vital for brain health. In addition, they contain vitamin D, which helps your body absorb calcium. Choose whole-grain breakfast cereals that have been fortified with calcium and other nutrients and are low in sugar. Because many people eat these cereals daily with milk, they’re a good, consistent source of calcium. Calcium is also available in dietary supplements. The two main forms are calcium carbonate and calcium citrate. But don’t take calcium supplements without first talking to your doctor because too much calcium can have unpleasant side effects, including the possibility of kidney stones. Vitamin D helps improve your body’s ability to absorb calcium. It's also a crucial component in bone rebuilding. People under the age of 70 should get at least 600IU of vitamin D daily; people over 70 should get at least 800IU daily. Make sure you’re adding foods that contain vitamin D to your diet to help with calcium absorption so you can build strong and healthy bones.  Fatty fish, such as swordfish, salmon, tuna, and mackerel...

Article in English: Calculating interest payments is not a simple equation. Luckily, a quick search for "interest payment calculator" makes it easy to find your payment amounts as long as you know what to input into the calculator:   Principal: The amount of your loan. If you loan is $5,000, the principal is $5,000.  Interest: In simple terms, the percentage of money you're being charged to have the loan. It is either given as a percentage (such as 4%) or a decimal (.04).  Term: Usually in months, this is how long you have to pay the loan off. For mortgages it is often calculated in years. Make sure to find out if there are any penalties for paying off the loan earlier than the stated term.  Payment Option: Almost always a "fixed-term loan." However this can be different for specialty loans. Ask if the interest and payment schedule is fixed before getting a loan if you are unsure. The interest rate is the cost you pay for borrowing money. It is the rate of interest that you will pay on the principal for the life of the loan. You want it to be as low as possible, as even .5% of a difference can mean a huge sum of money. If you would prefer lower payments, you may pay a higher interest rate and more total interest over the loan, but less each month. Someone with less savings on hand or whose income is bonus or commission-based would likely prefer this option. However, want to stay below 10% interest whenever possible. The common rates for different loans are:   Auto: 4-7%    Home: 3-6%  Personal Loans: 5-9%  Credit Cards: 18-22% This is why you should avoid large purchases you can't repay quickly on credit cards.  Payday Loans: 350-500%  These loans are very dangerous if you can't pay them off within 1-2 weeks. These loans are regulated by the state, which means that some of them have caps on the interest they can charge while others do not have a limit. In technical terms, the accrual rate tells you how often lender calculates the interest you owe. The more frequently you're charged the more you owe, since you have less time to...

Article in English: Calculating leap years requires having a year that you want to check. Use a past year, the current year, or a future year as your starting point. For example, you could start by checking 1997 or 2012 if you want to look at a past year, or go with 2019 to check the current year, or select 2025 or 2028 to check a future year. Dividing the year by 4 will result in a whole number with no remainder if the number is evenly divisible. The number must be evenly divisible by 4! Otherwise, it is not a leap year.  For example, dividing 1997 by 4 gives you 499.25, which is not a whole number because it ends with a decimal. Therefore, it is not a leap year. When you divide 2012 by 4, you get 503, which is a whole number. This means that 2012 is likely a leap year. If a year is evenly divisible by 4, but it is not evenly divisible 100, then it is a leap year. If a year is divisible by both 4 and 100, then it might not be a leap year, and you will have to perform 1 more calculation to check.  For example, 2012 is evenly divisible by 4, but not 100 since it results in a decimal answer (20.12). This means that 2012 is definitely a leap year. 2000 is divisible by 4 and it is also evenly divisible by 100 since it leaves a result of 20. That means that 2000 might not be a leap year and you will have to divide it 1 more time. If a year is divisible by 100, but not 400, then it is not a leap year. If a year is divisible by both 100 and 400, then it is a leap year.  For example, 1900 is evenly divisible by 100, but not 400 since it gives you a result of 4.75. This means that 1900 is not a leap year. On the other hand, 2000 is evenly divisible by 100 and 400, since it gives you a result of 5. That means that the year 2000 is a leap year.

Article in English: Calculating this number rests in the vowels of your name. For thousands of years, many cultures have used the chanting of vowel sounds to induce trance and elevate themselves to higher states of consciousness. So, one could say that coming in contact with the vowels (so to speak) of one's self, will lead you to a greater purpose. Likewise, your Heart's Desire Number (also known as your Soul's Urge or Motivation Number) can help you gain understanding of what drives your true inner self. It answers the question, "What is my deepest sense of purpose?" This relates to what you want to be in life and what you would like to have and accomplish. The relationships your nurture as well as those you avoid can be revealed in this core number. Add the numerical value of the vowels in your full birth name. Using the same example ROBERT NESTA MARLEY we get the letters O, E, E, A, A, and E. Referencing the same chart above, this yields the following equation:  O+E = 6+5 = 11 = 1+1 = 2  E+A = 5+1 = 6  A+E = 1+5 = 6  2+6+6 = 14 = 1+4 = 5

Article in English: Calf socks are a common culprit of ingrown leg hair with men who don't shave, as tight clothing will prevent hair from growing away from the body. Skinny jeans will exacerbate the problem on the thigh and calf both. Consider ankle socks, or slim-cut jeans as opposed to skintight styles.  If you're having trouble with ingrown hairs on other parts of your body, try looser clothing there as well. Briefs can cause particular issues with pubic hair, as it's naturally coarser and curlier. Try boxers if you continue to have trouble here. Friction is also a factor with ingrown hairs. Dress appropriately when you'll be moving around, in loose-fitting clothing that allows your legs to breathe. Instead of tights, try exercising in shorts, sweatpants, or athletic pants. When the hair is pulled entirely out at the follicle, its tip has to break back through the skin as it grows.This can easily lead to ingrown hairs when the tip fails to break through, or curls back around into the skin. Those with coarse or curly hair are at particular risk. While tweezing and waxing aren’t problematic for everyone, they’re the hair removal methods that are most likely to cause ingrown hairs. Alcohol can cause your skin to tighten and dry out, worsening irritation. This in turn will exacerbate ingrown hairs. Apply either of these liberally to soothe red, irritated skin. Don’t attempt shaving, waxing, or any other general hair removal for a few days.

Article in English: Call a local utility company to ask about the location of cables and pipes. If there are any present underneath the planned paving stone area, you may need to change your design. Plan your desired layout before you purchase the stones, so you're sure you'll be able to build a pattern you like. In general, the more "interlocking" there is, the stronger the pattern will be, making the herringbone pattern a good option for vehicle traffic. Mostly, however, this is an aesthetic decision. Choices for layout include:  "Bricklaying": Lay out the paving stones in an offset grid, so the bottom of each paving stone touches two paving stones underneath it. This tends to look better than a simple grid, and may reduce sliding. Herringbone: Form an arrow shape by placing two rectangular paving stones at right angles to each other. "Nest" more of these arrows in a long diagonal line under each other, and use similar lines of arrows to fill the remaining space. Even if your basic pattern only involves one shape of paving stone, you could purchase a second, smaller shape to create a border. Remove plants, fallen leaves, and other surface cover from the area so you can clearly see the area you'll be working with. If more intensive preparation is required, such as breaking up concrete, make sure you follow safe practices, and consider hiring a professional. Stake the corners of the area you want paved, and tie string taut between the strings to mark the border.

Send them articles that you think she might enjoy, or things that remind you of her. Ask her how significant people are doing. These will all show that you care about her and the important things in her life. When you talk, try to follow up on topics that she previously mentioned. This shows her both that you remember what she was saying and that you care enough to ask about her life. When you talk to her, you’ll have something specific to ask her about. When appropriate, comment on and like her posts on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Be careful not to overdo it, you don’t want to make her uncomfortable or seem clingy.

Article in English: Call up the school or daycare, and tell the teacher that you are concerned about how your child is getting along with other children. Arrange a meeting so that you can discuss this 1-on-1.  Ask them how well your child plays with others. You may want to ask if your child has a particular friend or if they often play alone. Ask the teachers if your child has any anger or shyness issues. Try to encourage the teacher to be as honest as possible. Have an open conversation about what you both can do to encourage your child to be more social when they are away from home. If your toddler is allowed to bring a toy with them, tell them to bring something that they are interested in. This can help them feel more confident at school and help them connect with other children with the same interests.  For example, if they like animals, ask them to pick their favorite stuffed animal. If they like cars, let them choose a truck. For show and tell, talk with your child about their favorite thing to do or what they're most interested in. Have them bring in something that reflects that interest. For example, if your child loves art, they can bring in some of their paintings. Ask your child to be the teacher.

Article in English: Calla Lilies will survive outdoors over winter in mild climates that don't experience much sustained snow, deep freezes and heavy prolonged rainfall in the colder months. They can generally cope outdoors through winter in zones 8 through 10. This means that they can survive in temperatures that do not drop below 30 to 35 degrees F (-1.1 to 1.7 degrees C). After flowering has ended, refrain from watering and allow the plant to die back. Try to refrain from cutting the foliage until it has withered away. If you are overwintering outdoors, apply a mulch of about four inches of straw or evergreen branches. You can also put them under an upturned pot or cloche. Do this in the fall before the ground gets cold.

Article in English: Callas will do best in a cool room that isn’t too light and is away from direct sunlight or other sources of heat, like radiators.  Avoid putting them near a TV or computer, as these areas can get warm with extended use. Keep them out of drafts. Keep them away from fruit bowls, as ripening fruit emits gases that will encourage the flower to mature, shortening its lifespan in the vase. Aim to replace the water every day or two and keep it topped up. A steady supply of water is essential to the health of your lilies, and should never be neglected. Mini callas will probably need additional water more often as they should be sitting in less water than regular ones. Some people like to keep their vase in the fridge overnight to preserve the life of their flowers – but be warned you need a big fridge for this!  It’s a bad idea to expose calla lilies to a gas called ethylene, which is produced by some foods, so only store your lilies in an empty fridge. It’s probably best not to put them in a domestic fridge. The water in your vase will need a complete changing every day or two. This is to prevent any bacteria in the water from building up and attacking your lilies.  It also stops the water from smelling. Callas will absorb a lot of water, so keep it topped up. Every second or third day, trim another half inch off the bottom of the stems. This is because the cells at the end of the stem will die.  Refreshing the cut helps exposes fresh cells and helps them absorb water. Replace the water in your vase when you do this. Remember to replace the flower feed or whatever additive you were putting into the water.

Article in English: Calligraphy letters are drawn using thick and thin strokes to create shapes. They are not written like traditional letters. This ‘thick-and-thin’ effect creates a flowing, consistent pattern.Here are basic rules to follow:  Keep the pen-angle constant Don't push too hard on the nib Draw parallel lines and even curves. A ‘calligraphy nib’ refers to a pen tip that is broad and flat instead of a more commonly rounded point pen such as a fountain pen. This wide, flat structure allows the nib to create a unique ‘thick-and-thin’ effect which is what makes calligraphic letters look fancy. Nibs come in different widths, so having several will allow you to experiment. It is important that you hold the pen so that the tip of the nib points away from you and to the left, at around 30° to 60°. The angle will vary depending on the specific script that you want to create, or naturally with the way you hold the pen. As you write, the nib should never turn to form lines and curves. The trick to creating beautiful, uniform calligraphy is to keep the point in the same direction. This is why you will have to pick your hand up to create several strokes that form each letter. Each stroke follows a pattern and shares similarities with other letters. Form each stroke by gently leading the nib across the paper. Your strokes will move backwards, forwards, and sideways from the direction the nib is pointing. Your hand, wrist, forearm, and elbow should not be touching the table. By fully supporting your hand and arm, it will help you keep a light pressure on the pen to help your strokes flow.  You may damage the nib if you press too hard. If you lean on the pen, your letters may not flow, and your arm may get tired.  By pushing the nib incorrectly, it may dig into the paper and blot. Always follow the strokes of calligraphy. Regardless of the specific type of calligraphy you draw, this same rule will follow. For example, italic calligraphy is created with lines that slope away upwards to the right, while Roman letters are drawn with...

Article in English: Calm any pre-performance nerves by being prepared on the day of the talent show. This means having all your stage props ready, having your costume on hand, and making sure everyone in your band is present for the show. You may want to take time after school to prepare for the show, packing a bag of supplies that you will need for your performance. You know what they say, “save the best for last”. Going last in the lineup may help you get a leg up on the competition and help to calm your nerves, especially if you need time to get used to being around the other performers and to being on stage. Going last can also allow you to create a lasting impression on the judges that will be fresh in their minds as they deliberate the winners of the show. Take some time to sit in the audience and observe your competition, on the day of the talent show or during rehearsals for the show (if applicable). Notice if there are acts that are similar to your act or that use an element of your act. You may need to adjust your act so your version is more interesting and engaging. To win the show, you really need to focus on standing out from your competition. Self-talk is your internal dialogue, which is often running in the background in your mind as you go through your day. Having positive self-talk on the day of the talent show can help you to perform at your best and give you the confidence you need to blow away the judges. Push negative thoughts out of your mind and focus on positive self-talk. This could mean not freaking out when you miss up a step in practice or skip a beat. Instead, tell yourself, “It’s okay, it’s just practice. I have time to get better at this.” You can also use positive self-talk as you perform for the judges. Remind yourself that you worked hard to get to this point and that you are the best performer on the stage. Tell yourself that you have all the skills and abilities to win. A big part of performing at your best is putting your passion and attitude up front for the judges and the audience to see....

Article in English: Calm your child down about an hour or so before dinner time. Make the switch from wild play to calming activities like reading a book or singing songs.  Shut off the TV just before dinner and don't turn it on until after your toddler has gone to bed. Give your child a warm bath after dinner to help calm both their mind and body. Try adding some lavender soap or use a lavender-infused shampoo, which has calming properties. Decide on a bedtime and make sure you start your nightly routine at the same time each night. After just a week of going to bed at the same time, most children will adjust to this schedule and come to expect it each night. Signal to your child that bedtime is approaching to get them mentally prepared. Give them a bath, brush their teeth, and get out that security blanket or stuffed animal they love. Your child might experience anxiety because they feel they have no control over their bedtime routine. Give them some choices to alleviate this. Limit their options to keep their choices simple. For instance, let them decide which story to read at bedtime.  Lay out two sets of pajamas on the bed and allow your toddler to choose which pair to wear each night. During bath time, ask which songs they would like to sing. Before they get into bed, be sure they don’t need anything. Give them a few sips of water so they aren’t thirsty and make sure they’ve used the bathroom. You might also give them a nighttime snack like an apple so they aren’t hungry.  Don’t give them too much water if they are potty training. You don’t want to wake up to an accident! If they keep making demands before bed, your toddler may be “fake” crying to get attention because they don't feel like going to sleep. Spending more time together before bed can help your child feel less needy as lights out approaches. Read them a story, talk about their day, and talk about what you’re looking forward to for tomorrow. This can help your two year old feel secure while transitioning to sleeping on their own. Do this for a week, and then...

Article in English: Calming classical music or jazz has been shown to lower heart rate and blood pressure and decrease stress hormones. There is evidence to suggest that, in therapeutic situations, music can be more effective at prompting relaxation than verbal stimuli (which is distracting) because music is processed primarily in the non-verbal sections of our brains. . Aromatherapy utilizes essential oils derived from various herbs, fruits, bark, and flowers. In doing so, aromatherapy can positively affect mood and emotions by making a connection between your olfactory senses and the limbic system in your brain.  Lavender and lemon are two of the most popular oils used for relaxation and stress relief. Check online or talk to an aromatherapy specialist to determine which additional scents or blends might work for you. In an aromatherapeutic massage, the essential oil is placed in “carrier oil”—an unscented or lightly scented oil—that is safe for skin application. As the massage oil is heated through the friction of the massage, the aroma of the essential oil fills the air. Aromatherapy burners can be purchased and placed in any room in the house. Some are plugged into outlets, while others fit around the tops of lamp light bulbs. The heat from the bulb releases the calming essential oil scent into the room. Restorative yoga poses, such as the child's pose or the corpse pose, may ease stress by helping to focus on the breath and promoting total physical relaxation. Power poses such as the eagle pose help ease stress by focusing the practitioner on balance while stretching tight shoulders and backs. Dancing is another great way to release those endorphins and calm your nerves. Dance has many health benefits, including better physical fitness and increased memory (think about all those ballet positions!), but is also valuable as a social activity. Whether you are learning in a class or dancing with a partner, you are interacting socially, and endorphins and good mood tend to be shared among social dancers.

Article in English: Camellias love deep watering about twice weekly, rather than daily shallow watering. This is partially because camellias love generally moist soil as opposed to soggy soil. Giving a deep soak allows the soil to have a generally moist consistency for longer. Mulching will help keep moisture in the ground and it will keep the soil cooler on hot summer days. In addition, mulch will help keep weeds at bay.  Use whatever mulch you have readily available but don't pile it more than a few inches high, no matter what you use. This can keep soil too wet and lead to root rot. Remember that the mulch should not touch the trunk of the plant.  Mulch also adds new organic material to your soil. This will help to break up clay soil or add richness to sandy soil. In general, it will increase the quality of your top soil tremendously. Some Camellias are considered heavy eaters, meaning that they need a lot of nutrients from the soil in order to thrive. This will ensure lush growth and good flowering each season.  There are other varieties too, where the plant is not a heavy feeder, and do not react well to over-stimulation.  Do not fertilize after August. Interestingly, their bloom time is also their dormant period and so should not be fertilized then.  Cottonseed meal and fish emulsion are good natural choices. Two or three feedings between April 1 and September 1 is all that is necessary.  Contact your local extension service or camellia experts to get recommendations of fertilizers that work well in your specific area and for your specific variety of the plant. Fertilizers usually have three numbers on them, which tells you about the nutrients in it. The first number is for nitrogen, the second number is for phosphorus, and the third number is for potassium.  If you want your camellia to increase in size because it is newly planted, give it a fertilizer with a larger first number, such as 10 or 12. If you just want to maintain the size of an already established plant, then a lower first number, such as 4, will work well....

Article in English: Camembert cheese tastes the best at room temperature, not straight from the refrigerator. Take it out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before you want to eat it so it has time to warm up. To cut up Camembert, cut it into wedges like you would a pizza. It's easiest to cut from the center using a sharp cheese knife. A cheese knife has holes in the blade so the cheese doesn't stick. However, any sharp knife will do. The rind on Camembert is safe to eat, but it can have a pretty strong flavor. It's really up to you whether you eat the rind with the cheese or not, so just give it a taste.  Try a slice that includes the rind and one that doesn't. If you don't like the rind, simply slice it off and just eat the inside of the cheese. Cut off slices of the cheese and use a knife to spread it on the cracker or a slice of French bread. Eat it as is, or add a little honey or preserves on top.  Try whatever jams or preserves you enjoy, such as raspberry, cherry, fig, or apricot. You could also add a slice of fresh peach, pear, or apple in place of the preserves. While Camembert will still remain safe to eat after this time, it's flavor will start to deteriorate after you cut into the rind. The rind acts as a protective barrier for the cheese, keeping it tasty and fresh. Before you cut into the rind, Camembert will usually keep for 1-2 weeks in the refrigerator and 6 months or longer in the freezer.

Article in English: Cancelling plans is a red flag that something may be wrong. While circumstances often occur with valid reasons to miss a date, if it happens more than 50% of dates, you’re in the danger zone.  When a girl starts to repetitively cancel plans or is always busy, she is sending a clear message. A girl that is interested in you will make herself available and want to spend time with you, so if you find your girlfriend constantly ditching plans, take it as a sign. If you see a pattern of canceled dates or if she constantly has other plans it is time to sit her down for a heart to heart. If she is always inviting friends to meet up with on your dates or suggesting group or double dates, this could be a sign that she doesn’t like being alone with you anymore. If she is constantly leaving in one room to go talk to another group of people this might be a sign that she doesn’t enjoy spending time with you anymore. Likewise, going to parties and social gatherings without inviting you is also a sign that something might be wrong with your relationship.

Article in English: Cancer and Pisces work well together, as both are water signs. Cancer is mystified (in a good way) with Pisces's quiet vulnerability, while Pisces appreciates Cancer's sympathetic nature. Another water sign, Scorpio also lives in a more — let's say — rarefied realm. Scorpio and Pisces appreciate each other's depth and reasonableness. Both signs, however, can begin to show signs of frustration when the real world butts its nasty little head in and requires either sign to make compromises, be practical, and get things done. Virgo and Pisces share a fascination with and fondness of communication. Although Virgo can be a little bit exacting from time to time, Pisces's loyalty makes these signs quite compatible. A Pisces/Pisces love match could either go one of two ways: unburdened and complete love for one another, or consummate distaste. They'll either love each other because of similarities or hate each other because of similarities. One likes to change (Pisces) while the other likes to stay the same (Taurus). Although the stability that Taurus offers may be reassuring to Pisces, her desire to always stay the same may eventually be stifling for a Pisces that can embrace changes readily and quickly. This relationship will enjoy a perfect balance of comfort and compassion, and will endure a long stay together.

Article in English: Cancer is complex, and every individual has a different case. To help your friend, you need to learn about your friend's  particular type of cancer. If she's not up to talking about it, do some research on your own. You can get information from your doctor or local hospital.  Learn to speak the language. For example, cancer is diagnosed in stages. Find out whether your friend is Stage 1 (non-invasive) or Stage 4 (invasive and most advanced). If it seems appropriate, ask about the prognosis. You don't want to be too aggressive when asking questions, but if your friend seems to want to talk, ask questions to let them know that you are interested and that you care. Once you understand what type of cancer your friend has, you can start to learn about the type of treatment. Often, cancer is treated with surgery. Other times, chemotherapy is the first step. If you don't understand what your friend is talking about, ask. They'll be glad you are concerned.  If your friend is set to have surgery, help them plan their post-surgery care. Make sure she knows you're around to walk their dog. You can also help out by bringing magazines and treats to the hospital. If your friend is going through chemotherapy, you can offer to keep them company during the treatments. Take along a deck of cards or download some great T.V. shows on their iPad. They'll be glad to have distractions. Cancer takes an enormous toll on a person, both physically and emotionally. Learn some of the common issues with which cancer patients deal. By knowing what to expect, you will be better prepared to support your friend.  Be aware that your friend might look physically different. For example, they might suffer from hair and weight loss. Feeling extremely tired is another side effect. Be patient with your friend if they doze off while you are spending time together. They might also be more forgetful than usual, so don't be offended if they forget some details of a story you told them. This cancer diagnosis is difficult for your friend, but it is also...

Article in English: Cancer men are usually intuitively aware of how sensitive they are, so they know they can be hurt if they get involved with the wrong people. It might take some time before he opens up to you, but if you're consistent enough with your affections, he should drop his guard eventually. His need for emotional security can be pretty strong, so he will need to sense a certain degree of emotion from you before he can let himself feel the same way. Once he feels certain of your feelings, though, he's more likely to be free and honest with his own. If he fits the mold, your Cancer man will be fairly family-oriented. Talk about your family and encourage him to talk about his. If he senses a shared appreciation for family, his affection for you may grow.  His idea of family might be broader than yours and can include aunts, uncles, cousins, and other distant relatives. Some Cancer men may even take things a little too far and dote on their family members more than necessary. If he gets along well with your family, though, he may also come to love them as his own. Due in part to his love of family, the Cancer male thrives in a warm, cozy environment. It nurtures his spirit and opens his heart. Creating that environment for the Cancer man in your life can encourage him to open his heart to you. Welcome him into your home and show an interest in being a part of his. Spend time with him at home and indulge in plenty of one-on-one time. One interest that most Cancer men share is an appreciation for nature. When you spend a day or evening together, consider going to some spot that will allow the two of you to appreciate nature at its finest. Dragging him to a place he will love demonstrates a highly appealing level of consideration.  A weekend camping trip will probably mean more to him than a weekend getaway to a big city. Parks and other locations with scenic views are great for quick dates. Don't be afraid to talk about the future with him. Cancer men are successful thanks to their ability to think ahead, so they'll...

Article in English: Cancer research has emphasized the importance of getting your nutrients from food instead of vitamin supplements whenever possible. However, there may be cases where a supplement is a better option for you. Be sure to discuss any supplements you are taking or thinking about taking with your physician.  Take zinc supplements. Most men do not get enough zinc in their diets, and supplements can help keep your prostate healthy. Research has demonstrated that zinc deficiencies can lead to enlarged prostates and that zinc plays a role in the progression of prostate cells to malignancy. You can take 50 to 100 (or even up to 200) milligrams of zinc per day in tablet form to reduce an enlarged prostate.  Try taking saw palmetto berry, made from the berries of the Saw Palmetto plant. This supplement has received mixed reviews from users and the medical field, so talk to your doctor before you try it. Some research has suggested that it may assist in the cytotoxicity (cell death) of human prostate cancer cells.  Note that some research has suggested that taking certain supplements, such as vitamin E, or folic acid (a B vitamin) may even increase your risk of prostate cancer. Other studies has demonstrated that taking many (i.e., more than 7) supplements, even those marked for prostate cancer, may increase the risk of developing advanced prostate cancer. Although the relationship of prostate cancer and smoking has been long debated, tobacco use is believed to cause oxidative damage via free radicals to the body's cells, thus making the link between cancer and smoking plausible. In a meta-analysis of 24 studies, researchers found that cigarette smoking was in fact a risk for prostate cancer. If you are overweight, get yourself on a diet and exercise plan that will get you into a healthy range. Whether someone is overweight or obese is determined by using the body mass index (BMI), an indicator of body fatness. BMI is a person's weight in kilograms (kg) divided by the square of the person's height in meters (m). A BMI of...

Article in English: Cancer women are the definition of the woman waiting for her knight in shining armor. She loves romance, intimacy, and being openly cared for. Cancer men will be romantic and courtly, lavishing you with gifts and coy praise. Though they move slowly, romance is in their hearts. Cancer needs to be shown that you are the real deal. In order to get the ball rolling, you'll need to give it a push first. So grab your white horse and get to trotting. Cancer, in all its dynamic glory, is worth it. Because Cancer is such a cautious sign, it will serve your relationship best to get to know them before you demand any higher level of romance or intimacy. Becoming friends first will allow them to slowly fall for you. Cancer is a very physically affectionate sign. Complement your relationship with small touches, hugs, and subtle -- yet significant -- displays of affection. Warm them up to your touch. They'll love to reciprocate. If you're a girl, you might need to make the first move instead of waiting for him to do it. If you're a guy, be aware that she might have to take more time than normal before she is ready to kiss you. This doesn't mean they're not into you, it just means they need to be drawn out of their shell! Never ask them out in public, as this will make them feel nervous. Ask them out in private. Invite them on a casual, yet fun, date. Nothing with too much pressure or too many stigmas. Just because someone is a Cancer doesn't mean they can't have fun. Try taking them to the beach or swimming pool, since this is a water sign. Cancers are super intuitive when it comes to people and their motivations, so don't waste your time playing hard to get, cat and mouse, or any other variety of mind game. They'll see right through you and know you're not being genuine. Cancers, if they feel comfortable, will be direct with you. They need you to be direct with them, too! If you're presenting an image around them or trying to be mysterious, they will not be having it. They're super good at reading people, so don't even...

Article in English: Candles, oil burners, or air fresheners can diffuse a pleasant smell throughout your home quickly.  Light a scented candle or use a scented oil burner if you have one available. Use plug-in or stand alone air fresheners. You can also spray air freshener throughout your house, but the smell won't linger long. This is strong smelling, but not unpleasant. It comes in hundreds of different scents.   To light incense, you will need to light the coated end of an incense stick, holding it by the uncoated end. Wait for the flame to penetrate through the incense, then blow it out. The end of the stick should be glowing red and will produce a strongly scented smoke. These are jars filled with scented oils.   Reed diffusers use bamboo reeds to soak up scented oils. The reeds then diffuse the scent into the air. These can have a very strong, but pleasant smell. You can buy reed diffusers at home decoration stores, and they come in many different scents. These are packets of dried herbs, potpourri, or scented rice. You can also make your own with paper envelopes or jewellery bags filled with laundry powder or a product such as Downy Unstoppables.  Sachets are nice additions to clothing drawers. They will give your clothes a pleasant smell. Try placing satchels of dried lavender or cinnamon sticks around your home for a more natural aroma. An easy DIY method here is put dried flower petals or potpourri in a little fabric sack and place these around the home in various places.   You can also make a wreaths out of rosemary and hang them throughout the house. To create a pleasant scent quickly you can use prepackaged dough.  Choose a type of cookie that you think smells good. This might not be the best solution in summer time when the weather is warm. Take care not to burn your cookies, or this will cause more bad smells! The boiling water will fill the air with the smell of spices.  Fill a pot part way with water and bring to a boil. Add pleasant smelling herbs and spices like cinnamon and cloves.

Article in English: Canes are the lightest walking aid, and transfer weight to your wrist or forearm. They are generally used to aid light injuries or to improve balance. A cane cannot and should not sustain a large portion of your body weight. Canes come in a variety of forms in order to meet the needs of different users. Variables to assess include:  Grip. Some canes are meant to be held with your palm and fingers, while others can also provide support for your forearm. Whatever you select, make sure the grip feels solid and manageable, not slippery or too big. Shaft. The shaft is the long part of the cane, and can be composed of wood, metal, carbon fiber polymer and other materials. Some shafts are collapsible for easy portability. Ferrule. The tip or bottom of the cane is usually covered in rubber to provide better stability. Some canes have three or four ferrules at the bottom instead of just one; this enables them to carry more weight. Color. Although many canes are plain or unadorned, you don't have to settle for a pedestrian grey cane if you don't want to. You may even be able to find a customizable cane that matches your personality as much as it supports your frame. To select the proper length for a cane, stand up straight with your shoes on and arms at your sides. The top of the cane should reach the crease on the underside of your wrist. If the cane is a proper fit, your elbow will be flexed 15-20 degrees when you hold the cane while standing.  Cane length is usually about one half the cane user's height, in inches, wearing shoes. Use this as a rule of thumb. If your cane is too small, you'll need to bend over in order to reach it. If your cane is too big, you'll need to lean over onto your injured side in order to use it. Neither option is ideal. A perfectly fitted cane will keep you upright while providing support. It sounds counterintuitive, but it's true. If your left leg is hurt, you should be holding the cane in your right hand. If your right leg is hurt, hold the cane in your left hand.  Why is this? When...

Article in English: Canned food is the only kind acceptable for an event such as a hurricane; again, check the expiration dates to make sure the food is fresh. Always have these supplies on hand so that you can respond whenever an emergency arises.  Try getting canned food that doesn't require any added water or milk, such as Progresso. Fill up the bathtub with water if you decide to stay home. An average bathtub full of water holds enough water for about three days. It also makes it possible to flush the toilet using a bucket. There is a lot of water in the hot water heater of your home. An average 150-liter water heater has enough water to keep a single person alive for a month. See here for details. An average person needs about 3.5 l of water (one gallon) per day. Pets (dogs) need about 1.75L of water per day. Cats need much less water. Do this as the storm enters your area and you settle down for the long haul. Eat perishables first in anticipation of the power going out. Fill your fridge and freezer with bottled water and sealed non-perishable items. The more full your freezer is, the more items there are to retain the cold and keep the overall temperature down. The same applies to the refrigerator.  Store as much water and fluids as you can in your fridge so that if the power goes out, it will retain the cold longer; hopefully in time for the power to turn back on. Put all the ice that you have in your freezer into plastic bags. Fill all spaces in your freezer with bags of ice. Freeze water bottles, too. See How to keep foods frozen during a power failure for more details. Be sure that you are well supplied with any prescription drugs that you or your family takes on a regular basis. Some insurers will not honor refills until the last refill is nearly used up or has run out.  If necessary, drugs must be purchased without insurance; weeks may go by without the ability to get refills, putting your health at risk. If you’re in hurricane season, always have extra medication just case a storm comes in and all the pharmacies...

Article in English: Canning jars are the easiest containers for pickling eggs. They can be ordered online or bought at kitchen-supply stores. They are designed to seal tightly, preventing any contaminants from entering the jar. It is important that the canning jars are sterile to prevent the risk of disease.  Wash the jar in hot, soapy water and rinse well. Then place the jars on a cookie sheet in the oven at 140 °C (284 °F) for 20-40 minutes. The eggs and pickling brine should be added as soon as the jars are removed from the oven. Place the eggs in a pan and add cool water. There should be about 1.0 inch (2.5 cm) of water over the eggs. Bring the water to a boil, then remove the pan from the heat and cover. Let the eggs simmer in the water for 14 minutes. If you are using extra-large eggs, let them simmer for 17 minutes.  When they are done simmering, rinse the eggs with water to cool them down. Then remove the shells to prepare the eggs to be pickled. For ideal results, add the brine as quickly as possible.  A basic pickling recipe uses 1.5 cups (350 mL) water, 1.5 cups (350 mL) distilled white vinegar, 1 crushed garlic clove, 1 tablespoon (15 mL) pickling spice, and 1 bay leaf.  To prepare the brine, mix the water, vinegar, and pickling spice in a medium saucepan and bring them to a boil. Mix in the bay leaf and the garlic. Turn down the heat and let the brine simmer for 10 minutes. Immediately place the jars into the refrigerator. The eggs will need to be refrigerated in the brine for 1-2 weeks before they are ready to be eaten. A 1 US quart (950 ml) jar will hold about 12 medium-sized hard-boiled eggs.

Article in English: Cantaloupes, also known as muskmelons, are available in dozens of cultivated and heirloom varieties, and grow best in hot weather, at least 2-3 months of consistent warmth. Cantaloupes love very sandy and loamy soil with good drainage, and a pH of around 6.  Varieties good for cooler climates include Hale's Best, Sarah's Choice, and Eden's Gem. Varieties noted for their flavor include Hearts of Gold, Ambrosia, Athena, and Honey Bun. Pay particular attention to the time to maturity listed on the seed package. Most of the time, you won't buy cantaloupe starts, you'll purchase seeds and start them yourself. On the seed package, pay particular attention to planting advice and information about keeping them safe, and pay particularly close attention to the length of time to maturation. If you want to save cantaloupe seeds from a particularly-delicious melon for planting, scoop them from the flesh and soak them for two days in cool water, then dry them thoroughly on a paper towel. Store them in a clean, dry jar in a cool, dark environment until you're ready to start your melons. While viable for around two years, it's usually best to plant seeds within the year. The most important part of planting and growing cantaloupe is warm soil and enough space. The vines need some room to spread out, regardless of whether you plan on trellising or letting the melons mature on the ground, so you'll need a fairly wide bed, depending on how large a crop you're going to plant. It's a common misconception and fear that cantaloupes will cross with other members of the same family, including cucumbers, other melons, squash, and pumpkins. They won't. Don't worry about planting your vining fruits in the same area of your garden plot. Most strange or bland-flavored cantaloupe is not the result of accidental cross-breeding, but the result of environmental factors or other problems. Lay compost or well-rotted manure evenly on your planting bed to create a rich feeding area for the cantaloupe. 6-8 inches of well-tilled soil is...

Article in English: Canvas frames are also sometimes referred to as stretcher bars, which feature pre-cut slats that you can slip together to create the frame. This is the easiest way to customize the frame to fit your purposes and put it together quickly. Most professionals use stretcher bars. DIY frame kits like EasyWrappe are prefabricated in a variety of different sizes that will allow you to quickly fix a canvas to a frame with no outside tools, other than an X-Acto knife to trim the excess canvas. While you have to pick from a limited variety of sizes, you can stick the pre-cut wood bars to the canvas and fix them in place in less than five minutes. Get enough canvas to fit around the frame by at least six or eight inches on each side, depending on the width of the frame. It's essential that you have enough overlapping canvas to attach to the back side of the canvas, or the stretching won't work. Measure the dimensions of the frame you have, or of the eventual canvas that you want and purchase or cut a larger size of canvas, accordingly. Unprimed, sometimes referred to as “ungessoed” canvas is easier to stretch than primed or “gessoed” canvas. For the best results, buy ungessoed canvas and prime it later. You'll need a few basic tools to complete a canvas stretching job properly. Try to get the following supplies:  A spray bottle filled with plain water. It’s common to dampen the back of the stretched canvas. As it dries, it will shrink and thus tighten the canvas even more. Gesso. This primer is commonly used to treat the canvas after stretching. It's a white paint mixture, made of gypsum, chalk, and other ingredients, available at most art supply stores. Specialty pliers used for canvas stretching. Available at most art supply stores, canvas pliers have flat surfaces that can be used to easily stretch canvas without pulling holes in the material. Staple gun. Regular desk staplers are not sufficient for stretching canvas. You need a heavy-duty staple gun to plant staples into wood and carpentry staples capable of gripping...

Article in English: Capricorn men are calculating. They need a lot of time to think before they make decisions, especially when it comes to relationships. If you notice he starts to pull away or go cold on you, don’t panic. It might mean he likes you, and he’s just taking time to figure out whether you’re the one he wants to be with. Keep in mind that if you confront him about being distant, he may not tell you the real reason he's pushing you away. Capricorn men aren’t interested in short romantic flings — they’re looking for someone to spend their lives with. If a Capricorn man likes you, it means he wants to be together long-term. If you've told him in the past that you're not looking to settle down and you only want a casual relationship, he may not be interested in you.  If he thinks you're not interested in a long-term relationship but you've changed your mind, casually mention it to him so he knows you're ready to settle down with someone. You could casually say, "I was enjoying dating around for a little while, but lately I've been wanting to find the right person to settle down with." Capricorn men aren’t always good at sharing their feelings up front. They wait until they’re really close with someone before they fully open up. If you're feeling closed off from him, that doesn't mean he's not into you. It just means you'll need to get closer with him before he shares everything with you. It may help if you take charge and tell him about your feelings for him first. It might make him feel more comfortable being vulnerable with you. Capricorn men are in no rush to be in a relationship. They’re extremely patient, and they think long and hard about whether or not they want to be with someone. Just because you’ve been friends for a long time and he hasn’t confessed his feelings for you doesn’t mean he doesn’t have them. If you really like him, try to be patient while he sorts things out. Focus on being his friend and spend your time together getting to know him more.

Summary in Russian:

Знайте, что он может оттолкнуть вас, если вы ему небезразличны. Помните, что он ищет возлюбленную на всю жизнь. Не рассчитывайте, что он будет открыт в общении на первых порах. Необходимо подождать, пока он не соберется с мыслями.


Article in English: Capricorn men are usually reserved and quiet, but they do open up and show their humorous side with people they really like. If he tells you jokes, teases you, or acts silly when he’s around you, it could be a sign he’s into you.  Next time you see him, try telling him a joke or teasing him and see how he reacts. If he laughs and starts teasing you back, it could mean he likes you. Make sure you smile and laugh when you tease him so he knows you're just kidding around and being flirtatious. Capricorn men can be shy and distant around others. They don’t open up easily, and they’re very strategic about who they trust. If a Capricorn man shares his secrets with you and talks to you about his personal problems, there’s a good chance he likes you.  If you're always the first person he goes to when something is wrong, it could be a sign that he likes you. Check your texting and social media conversations. Do you exchange short, surface-level messages, or does he talk a lot about what's going on in his personal life? Once a Capricorn man decides he likes someone, he doesn’t take well to people getting in his way. If he seems moody or upset whenever you focus your attention on others, it could mean he wishes you were talking to him instead. Pay attention to how he acts when you're talking to others. If he glances over at you a lot or interrupts your conversations, it could be a sign that he's jealous. Capricorn men cherish their personal space and belongings. They don’t let just anyone into their home. If he's inviting you over to his place, it's a sign that he really trusts you. If he gives you rides in his car or lets you use his stuff, it could also be a sign that he trusts and likes you.

Summary in Russian:

Обратите внимание на то, любит ли он пошутить в вашем присутствии. Определите, насколько он с вами откровенен. Обратите внимание на то, ревнует ли он, когда вы флиртуете с другими мужчинами. Если он приглашает вас к себе домой, считайте это хорошим знаком.


Article in English: Capricorn men like to take charge, so let him control things at first. Once you have satisfied his desire to conquer, then show him what you can do.

Summary in Russian:

Позвольте ему доминировать над вами в постели.


Article in English: Capricorn men love to work, and sometimes they value working over other aspects of life, like friendship and romance. If you want a Capricorn man to like you, be there for him when it comes to his work. Encourage him to tackle new projects and cheer him on when he accomplishes things. For example, if he’s been wanting to apply for a promotion at work but he’s doubtful he’ll get it, be supportive and tell him he should go for it. When Capricorn men are looking for a partner, they think ahead to the future. They want someone who will fit in with their life plan. By telling a Capricorn man what your priorities and goals are for life, he’ll see that you care about the future too, and he’ll be able to decide whether you both could come together and pursue your goals as a team. For example, you could casually bring up that you’re interested in having kids someday, or that you’re interested in settling down and pursuing a career. Capricorn men are stubborn, and they’re not interested in being someone’s project. If you try to pull him away from his work or pressure him to be more sociable and outgoing, it could backfire and cause him to dislike you. Capricorn men like people who can fit into their plan, and they’re usually not willing to change that plan to accommodate others. If you want a Capricorn man to like you, part of that is accepting who he is.  It’s OK to expect him to compromise with you sometimes. Just don't try to change who he is as a person. For example, it's OK to ask him to go out with your friends on occasion, but you wouldn't want to pressure him to go out every weekend if he's not interested.

Article in English: Capricorns are naturally ambitious, hard-working people. Most will enjoy discussing their professional goals and the progress they've made toward them. Try talking to her about whatever she's doing to get ahead in life — whether this includes a nine-to-five job or personal projects like art, writing, etc. — and don't be surprised if she's ready to talk about these things at great length.  Work may be a topic that you find boring, but don't have to sound like you're asking her robotic questions at a job interview when you talk to her about hers. In fact, with some creativity (and an air of gentle mischief), you can add a little flirty zest to these normally dry questions. Here are just a few examples:  Bland questions: "Where do you work?" "What do you do?" "Do you enjoy that?" "Where do you see yourself in five years?"  Zesty questions: "So, what's your plan for making your first million?" "What's your next step in life?" "Are you more of a Gordon Gekko person or a Lorenzo Anello person?" Because they value ambition and determination, most Capricorns respect someone who's worked hard and achieved big successes. However, Capricorns are modest and conservative at heart, so they're unlikely to respond well to extravagant boasting. Instead, try dropping subtle hints about your accomplishments by working them into the conversation naturally. See below for a few examples:   Blunt brags: "You see these shoes? These are real alligator skin." "We should go cruising in my new Bugatti this weekend." "I just won employee of the month at my dad's real estate business for the fifth time in a row!"  Subtle sweet-talking: "I'm hoping to use my signing bonus to do something nice for us." "I only wear this watch on special occasions — I bought it for myself when I got my Master's." "I don't usually do this, but I like to enjoy something nice after things go well at work." Capricorns aren't generally people who will shy from a little friendly sparring. Planning dates that involve some degree of competition can lead to great fun...

Article in English: Capricorns have a suspicious nature. If you press him too hard for information, you will likely have a difficult time earning his trust. You will want to avoid prying about his past or other areas that are too personal if you haven't yet won his trust. The first thing you have to learn in order to love a Capricorn man is to be patient. A Capricorn man will not give his love to just anyone. He will trust gradually as you show him that you are just as dedicated to commitment. If you have a date at a specific time, don't be late. A Capricorn man likes to make firm plans and seeks out dependable partners that will see things through. Breaking plans or changing things at the last minute without discussing it will likely frustrate him. This will help you to get beyond a Capricorn man's formal exterior and engage the quirky, charming man inside. Capricorn men often very reserved,  witty and have a dry sense of humor, so spark up quiet, intelligent conversations. Choose outings that make a good environment for conversations. Capricorns prefer quiet dinners out or at home. Avoid bringing him to a loud bar or party. He will just get bored or annoyed. A Capricorn man is very sensual, but his drive for social status and success will ultimately determine if he thinks of you as a potential partner. Avoid wearing clothes that are too tight or revealing. Dress in mature, conservative clothes. Pick out something you would wear to dinner with his parents.  You don't need to be a stunner to get his attention. Capricorns prefer intellect over beauty. If you have glasses, wear them. They can make you seem more intellectual. You are likely to find a Capricorn man at places where he can climb the ladder and better his social status. This means you aren't likely to find a Capricorn at usual dating spots like bars or night clubs. His idea of an exciting night out is very likely the company holiday party. Look for a Capricorn man at work-related events or networking conventions, or social events like a charity drive.

Article in English: Capture test images to determine what ISO is needed. ISO determines how much light the lens allows through while capturing images, and how quickly the image can be captured. You should use low ISO for brightly lit, slow moving, or still subjects. Increase your ISO to capture images in dim lighting or those that are moving quickly.  Many new photographers stay away from high ISO shots because they allow more light through producing a “busy” image. However, these images are often easier to edit later as there’s more information to work with.  If it’s very bright in your location or you’ve set up artificial lighting, a low ISO is likely adequate, For darker areas, you’ll likely need to use a higher ISO. Most cameras have a base ISO of about 200. ISO increases by doubling, so the next ISO would be 400, then 800, etc. This essentially doubles the lens sensitivity, allowing more light through and capturing the image more quickly. If you need one second to capture an image with a base ISO of 100, you’ll need one eighth of a second to capture with an ISO of 800. If you’re an experienced photographer, you likely have a variety of photo composition methods that you use regularly. For those who are new to photography, learning a basic technique like the rule of thirds is typically a good place to begin. The rule of thirds is the idea that every photo can be broken down into nine specific areas by creating three vertical sections and crossing them over with three horizontal sections. Then, try to place your main subject in one section with a focal point where the sections cross.  Even snapping candid shots, which you may need to capture quickly, take a few moments to think about how objects are placed to make the most impact. Always think about how the main subject’s surroundings play into the overall image, and try to create different levels and points of interest. You can change composition as part of the editing process in some cases, so if you can’t line up the shot just right, don’t let it deter you from capturing...

Article in English: Captured leprechauns are said to give you three wishes and a gold coin. Leprechauns are tricksters. There are many Irish fables about people choosing wishes that backfire.  For example, there was a man named Seamus from County Mayo who wanted to be the richest man on a tropical island. But he found himself alone on the island and ended up using his third wish to return to Ireland. Leprechauns will trick you by twisting the mind. They are smart and will try to confuse you into making the wrong wishes. Don't trust them because they are devious. Leprechauns are said to be part of a fairy world made up of little people and who are called the Luacharman. They are known as tiny shoemakers, cobblers for the fairy world. Sometimes they are called the "wee people."  Leprechauns are connected to gold. It's believed they watch the golden treasure left by Danish people who invaded Ireland more than 1,000 years ago. So if you catch one, according to legend, the leprechaun will have to tell you where the gold is hidden because he is compelled to tell the truth by fairy law. Look the leprechaun in the eye. According to Irish folklore, fairy law holds that Leprechauns must also be courteous. But if you look away from it, the leprechaun is freed from these rules and likely to vanish. This will help you catch them, and figure out what to do with them when you do. For one, leprechauns rarely travel in groups. They are solitary creatures.  Leprechauns are male. They are said to be friends of the robin. They like to drink alcohol, which is one reason some leprechauns are evil. But they are generally harmless, if a bit mischievous. There is nothing to fear. They are old-fashioned and a bit shabby. They don't like conformity so if you catch one it will probably have something like a green jacket and red pants. They wear tall hats and have shoes with big buckles on them.

Article in English: Car seats are tested for their performance in crashes, and various safety organizations publish the results. These organizations and safety ratings vary by country; Australia, for example, has some of the strictest safety ratings for car seats. In Canada, Transport Canada publishes information about car seats. In the United States, consult Consumer Reports or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for information about safety ratings. Additional information can also be found at the National Child Passenger Safety Board’s website. If a particular car seat has defects in it, its manufacturer may have issued a recall. The car seat would then be returned to the manufacturer for a new seat or a refund. When you are looking into different car seats and brands, check to see if there have been any recalls on the particular car seat model or the brand itself. Search online for “car seat recall” to find the most up-to-date information. All car seats have basic features that will ensure a solid level of safety and comfort for your infant. Many car seats do, however, have additional features. These might include additional side-impact cushioning, extra padding all around the seat, or an anti-rebound bar at the foot of the car seat. At the end of a major crash, during the rebound, the car seat might bounce up and hit the seat in front of it. The anti-rebound bar, available in newer seats, is intended to minimize the impact that the car seat will take. There should be one strap per limb: one for each upper arm and one for each thigh, as well as one for the area between the child's legs. There are alternative restraint systems, such as plastic shields and T-bar restraints, but the strap system is more customizable, which can make the seat more comfortable for your child’s size. Starting in 2002, all infant car seats were required to be compatible with the LATCH system, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children. The LATCH system allows infant car seats to attach directly into a car seat rather than being...

Article in English: Caramel sometimes keeps its shape until after you stir it. Open the slow cooker and give the caramel a stir with a rubber spatula. If you don't see any lumps, you're all set. If you do see lumps, let the caramel cook longer.  Depending on how many lumps there are, you may have to cook the caramels for another 15 to 30 minutes. You can keep the caramel in the slow cooker for up to 2 hours on a WARM setting. This is great if you're dipping lots of caramel apples or serving it at a party. Be sure to let the caramel cool to room temperature first, however. If you put hot caramel into the fridge, the temperature inside the fridge may rise and cause the food to spoil. Use the caramel within 3 months. You can reheat it using whatever method you want.

Article in English: Carbonization can contribute to gas—not something you want when you already have stomach discomfort. Additionally, soda often contains citric acid and sodium benzoate. These chemicals can bother a sensitive stomach, so it’s best not to drink soda when you don’t feel well. These substances can really irritate your stomach and contribute to acid reflux along with loose stools. Chocolate may also contain milk or nuts which are not easy to digest for many people. It’s a good idea to stay away from chocolate and items with caffeine, such as coffee or energy drinks, when your stomach is upset. High fat foods can contribute to bloating and make you feel really full. Fatty foods include meats, soft cheeses and fried, oily foods like french fries. These foods will probably make you feel even worse, so don’t eat them when your stomach is upset. Foods that contain a lot of acid like citrus and tomatoes can make acid reflex feel more intense, which may intensify your pain. They can also be irritating to a stomach that is upset. Avoid things like spaghetti sauce, orange juice and other tomato products while your stomach hurts. These foods can be irritating and contribute to nausea. However, if you are used to eating spicy foods, then eating them with an upset stomach might not cause as many problems for you than for someone who is not used to them. Just be careful when you start to eat spicy foods again that your stomach does not react negatively. Alcohol can contribute to acids in your stomach. Additionally, alcohol is difficult to digest and metabolize and may really irritate your stomach. It is best for you and your stomach that you do not drink alcohol when your stomach hurts or you are already nauseated.

Article in English: Carbs don’t have to be completely banned from your breakfast plate. Actually, multigrain carbs can be a rich source of fiber and are important energy sources for the start of your day.  Instead of going for frozen, pre-packaged waffles which can be loaded with unnecessary sugars and oils, make an extra batch of part whole-grain waffles and freeze them in individual plastic bags. You can pop your homemade frozen waffles into the microwave or toaster/toaster oven just like the store-bought ones. Swap out your maple syrup and whipped cream toppings for fresh fruit, plain yogurt, and some nut butter spread on top. This classic breakfast staple hits the marks for fiber and keeping your full, and it’s easy to mix in other ingredients like nuts and dried fruits to boost protein and other nutrient factors, too.  Use plain rolled oats, steel-cut oats, or a mix of barely, rye, and other grains. Cook your oats until tender in a little water or milk. Water has less calories, but milk has more body and flavor. You can cook your oats on the stovetop or microwave. Ditch the sugary instant oatmeal packs; it’s super easy to just make your own. Portion out your oats and toppings of choice, and seal them up in plastic bags. Keep them in the refrigerator until your ready to heat and eat in the morning. Oats are naturally gluten free, but can sometimes become tainted when processed in facilities with gluten. If you have an allergy,be sure to check the labels and make sure your oats are certified gluten-free. There’s plenty of low-sugar, high fiber, and even protein enriched boxed cereals on the market that can be great breakfast fixes. Pour on some soy milk and sprinkle on some fruit, nuts, or seeds for extra nutrients.

Article in English: Card counters are notorious for playing blackjack for hours and hours, often without eating or enjoying the amenities available at the resort. Acting like a tourist just looking for a simple good time may take the suspicion off of you. You want to blend in. Busting out your three-piece Armani suit is not what you want to do when starting your card counting career at your local casino. Leave the Italian suede at home and act like a regular Joe. Dealers are trained to shuffle the deck upon an unexplainable increase in the bet. For this reason, only up your bet in small increments and at seemingly random points in the game. This may seem counter to making money, but if you get thrown out, you'll be making zero. No, card counting isn't illegal, but it is heavily frowned upon and you can be asked to never return. This is why we had you practicing with the TV, radio, and several messy, loud-mouthed children. If you are so busy counting your lips are practically moving, it's a dead giveaway. Go ahead, get a drink, make small talk. Enjoy yourself.  Counters have a reputation for being "zoned in" to the game.  He will remain fixated on their cards while everyone else is looking at a gorgeous woman. Don't be that guy. You need to be proficient enough at counting that you can carry on a conversation.  Chat with the dealer about how their day is going.  If the pit boss comes up, chat with him, too. Many dealers know how to count cards.  A dealer that likes you will be more likely to wait before shuffling on a favorable deck and shuffle sooner on a bad one. A dealer can help you or hurt you.  Motivate the dealer to be for you. Same goes for the entire pit crew -- get them on your side, your not-so-heinous crime may slide under their radar. At any time, there are hundreds of cameras going on in the casino in addition to the eyes of the dealers, those in the pit (behind the tables), and the security staff. If they'll catch a waitress for serving a customer every 18.37 minutes, they'll definitely have the attention span to...
