Article in English: The S model has a touch-sensitive button, and may not work with a gloved finger or if you use a fingernail. Press the button with your bare finger to turn the console on. An overheating power supply is one of the most common reasons that an Xbox 360 will not start. Many people tuck the power supply away, but this can lead to heat build-up. Make sure your power supply is well-ventilated and not blocked by other object.  Unplug the power supply on both ends and let it sit for at least an hour to cool. Make sure the fan in the power supply is still functioning. You should be able to hear a faint whirring sound when the power supply is plugged in and turned on. If the fan has failed, you'll need to get a new power supply. If you get two red lights on your Xbox 360 Power button, your console is overheating. Turn it off for a few hours to let it cool down. Make sure that the Xbox 360 is placed in a well-ventilated area and that no other objects are directly next top it or stacked on top of it. There is a lot of anecdotal evidence that keeping your Xbox 360 horizontal will lead to better cooling. If your Xbox 360 is displaying four red lights, your video cable may be damaged or incompatible, or the connection isn't complete. Check that all of the plugs are connected properly. Try using a replacement official video cable to see if your problem is fixed. Sometimes you can have too many things connected to your Xbox 360, causing it to draw too much power. This is especially common with modified consoles with unofficial hard drives or other peripherals. Disconnect everything you can and try to start the console again. This failure is commonly accompanied by error code E68 on your TV. A common cause of failure for Xbox 360 consoles is bent pins in the USB ports causing a short circuit:  Examine the USB ports on the Xbox 360, both in the front and in the back. If any of the pins inside are touching each other or the casing of the port, they are likely causing a short circuit. With the Xbox unplugged, use tweezers to...

Article in English: The SSA issues three forms of social security card. If you are an employer seeking to verify the work eligibility of a potential employee, this information is the first thing you should check.  The first shows a person's name and social security number, and authorizes that person to work without restriction. The second, in addition to the name and number, notes that the person is "valid for work only with DHS authorization," meaning the person is allowed to work on a temporary basis so long as they have authorization from the Department of Homeland Security. Finally, a card that bears a name and number and states "not valid for employment" represents an individual who has been issued a social security card for a non-work purpose and is not eligible for employment in the United States. It should match the name on the person's other forms of identification, such as a driver's license or passport. Most of the time, when you will be checking the veracity of a person's social security card, you will also have access to other forms of identification for this individual. Make sure the name is spelled the same across all of these documents. The social security card also has a line for the person's signature. Make sure this signature matches other instances of the person's signature, both in spelling and handwriting format. The card should be printed on banknote paper, similar to the paper used for currency, and has a distinctly different feel and weight from regular paper. The card should bear the words "Social Security" on the front, along with the SSA's official seal. It should also have the words "This number has been established for" printed across the seal, and the person's name and social security number should be printed on the front. There should be a place for the person's signature, and blank space enough so the person can sign his or her name.  The back should not be blank, as the back of a valid social security card contains official information such as where to mail found cards and certain identifying...

Article in English: The Shakespearean sonnet is a good place to start if you're a novice sonneteer because it has the most regular and straightforward rhyme scheme and structure. The rhyme scheme of a Shakespearean sonnet always follows this pattern:  ABABCDCDEFEFGG  These letters represent the sound that appears at the end of each line. So, following this pattern of alternating rhymes, we find that the last words of the first and third lines must rhyme; the second and fourth; the fifth and seventh; the sixth and eighth; and so on, ending in a final rhyming couplet. Iambic pentameter is a type of poetic meter, meaning that it's a way of measuring out the rhythm of a line. Iambic pentameter is a very regular meter and is one of the most common meters in English-language poetry.  “Pentameter” derives from the Greek word pente (meaning five), and thus has five poetic "feet." Each foot is a unit of two syllables; thus, there are ten syllables in a line of pentameter. “Iambic” means that each foot is an “iamb.” Iambs are comprised of an unstressed, followed by a stressed syllable, resulting in a “ta-TUM” rhythm. The word “hel-LO” is an example of an iambic foot. So a line of iambic pentameter is a line of five iambic feet, resulting in a 10-syllable rhythm of ta-TUM ta-TUM ta-TUM ta-TUM ta-TUM. An example of a line of iambic pentameter is “Shall I / comPARE/ thee TO / a SUM / mer's DAY?” (from Shakespeare's “Sonnet 18”) Although the majority of the lines in a Shakespearean sonnet should be written in iambic pentameter, the rhythm can get plodding and predictable if you use it exclusively. By varying the stress pattern slightly at key moments, you can break up the pattern and make the poem more aurally interesting for the reader, and also use the variation to draw attention to key phrases in your poem.  For example, the third line of Shakespeare's “Sonnet 18” begins with a spondee, meaning two stressed syllables in a row: TUM-TUM After two lines of perfect iambic pentameter, he wrote: “ROUGH WINDS / do SHAKE / the DAR / ling BUDS / of...

Article in English: The Shovel is a tool used for digging the first layer of your mine and destroying ground blocks like dirt. It can be found randomly in the game, or you can craft it. To create a Shovel, you need two types of items: 3 Sticks and 4 Iron Ingots.  After gathering the items, press I to open your craft window and then click Shovel to see the highlighted pattern of the tool you're about to make. You will need to place the materials in the correct spots to create the basic Shovel shape. At the lower left side of the window, place the 4 Iron ingots into the bottom box (forming a 2x2 box). Add the sticks horizontally from the upper right of the craft window. The pickaxe is the main tool used to dig deeper layers with tougher blocks made of stones, ores, metal and other minerals. A mere shovel can't break these blocks easily, and trying will just lower its durability. To make a Pickaxe, you need 4 Iron Ingots and 3 Sticks.  Press I to open your craft window; select Pickaxe from the list to activate the highlighted pattern of the tool. Following the pattern, place the Iron ingot in each box. Line up the three sticks horizontally over the highlighted pattern. Zombies spawn in dark areas, including mine tunnels. It's important that you place a lot of torches in your mineshaft to avoid this. To make a torch, you need 1 Brown Grass or 1 Cloth Fragment and 1 Stick.  Press I and put the Stick in the middle and then add the Brown Grass or Cloth Fragment right above it. Torches can be placed against the wall or on the floor. Sometimes it doesn't show that it's burning, but rest assured it still generates light. While you're underground and digging, your Hunger and Stamina will decrease as time passes so it's important to have enough supplies before you jump into a long excavation.

Article in English: The Siberian Husky, although generally child-friendly, needs to have social boundaries – no jumping, grabbing, chasing, bolting, or pulling – established. Children should follow similar boundaries – no teasing; roughing; chasing; pulling hair, tail, or ears; or tug-of-war.   Children should help train your husky under adult supervision so that the husky becomes comfortable and familiar with all family members. Teaching children to gently pet and touch a husky, instead of pulling or hitting, helps build a trusting friendship and affection for each other. Other than bringing home a puppy, an unfamiliar husky’s background should always be taken into account around children. Find out if the husky was raised or socialized with children previously to bringing them home. Check to see if the husky ever received training for contact with children. Visually watch your husky around children to identify irritability, nervousness, or growling.   Naturally, Siberian Huskies have an instinct to chase small animals and sometimes children. Because huskies see small animals, like cats, as food, they might mistake babies or toddlers as part of the pack (family) and mistakenly attack them. Always have a new dog on a leash around children so that you remain in control and can prevent any injury. Few children will understand the meaning of a dog’s body language unless they are taught to identify aggressive behavior. Angry dogs typically bark, growl, show their teeth, and stare at their target. Children should never approach a dog under these circumstances. Instead, the child should immediately stop moving, stand up straight with arms at their side and legs close together, and look away from the dog to avoid eye contact. If the dog attacks anyways, the child should drop to the ground, curl up with knees to the chest, and arms covering the face with fists over the ears. Disengage by being quiet. Training should begin several weeks or months prior to a newborn’s arrival. Obedience training – how to sit, stay, lie down, or approach –...

Article in English: The Spanish alphabet is identical to English, but the pronunciation of each letter is significantly different. Some of the sounds are difficult for English speakers because they don't occur in that language. A good way to start learning Spanish is to learn how to pronounce each letter of the alphabet. From there, you can learn how to pronounce words. Phrases and then whole sentences, which come next, will be a lot easier. See below for the phonetic pronunciation of each letter in Spanish:  A = ah, B = beh, C = seh, D = deh, E = eh, F = eh-feh, G = heh, H = ah-cheh, I = ee  J = hoh-tah, K = kah, L = eh-leh, M = eh-meh, N = eh-neh, Ñ = eh-nyeh, O = oh  P = peh, Q = koo, R = eh-reh, S = eh-seh, T = teh, U = oo, V = -beh  W = doubleh-beh, X = eh-kees, Y = ee gryeh-gah and Z = theh-tah.  Note that the only letter in the Spanish alphabet that does not exist in English is the letter Ñ, pronounced eh-nyeh. It is a completely separate letter from the letter N. It's closest approximation in English would be the "ny" sound in the word "canyon." Once you learn the pronunciation rules of Spanish, you will be able to pronounce any word in that language.  ca, co, cu = kah, koh, koo. ce, ci = theh, thee or seh, see  ch sounds like English ch  ga, go, gu = gah, goh, goo. ge, gi = heh, hee  h does not sound. Hombre is pronounced ohmbreh  hua, hue, hui, huo = wah, weh, wee, woh  ll sounds like English y or like English j. Calle is kah-yeh or kah-jeh. r at the beginning of a word and rr in the middle of a word are rolled. See How to Roll Your "R"s  r in the middle of a word is like tt in butter in an American accent. Loro = lohttoh. que, qui = keh, kee  v sounds like b y sounds like English y or like English j. Yo is yoh or joh.See How to Pronounce Spanish Letters and Certain Sounds.

Article in English: The Ti plant is an evergreen shrub native to Hawaii with smooth blade-shaped leaves measuring about four inches wide and range from one to two feet in length. You can also use banana leaves.  Wrapping your mahi mahi in leaves helps the fish steam slowly, keeping its juices as it cooks. If using frozen leaves, be sure to de-thaw them first. For Ti leaves, cut each leaf along the center of the rib and throw the rib away. Look for fresh Ti leaves at a Mexican or Asian market. For banana leaves, soak the leaf in water to soften it (about 1 to 2 minutes) and tear 12 long strips from 1 or 2 leaves and boil for 30 seconds before draining. Cut 24 more strips, each about 12 inches by 3 inches and set them aside. Carefully slice your mahi mahi into 12 equal pieces (about 2 in. by 2 in).  If working with frozen filets, defrost them before cutting. Press lightly when cutting. The fish is delicate and you can easily crush the filets with too much pressure. Place your mahi mahi slices on a plate together and leave it in your refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. You can drizzle lemon or lime juice, salt, pepper, fresh or dried herbs, or any seasonings you prefer onto the mahi mahi pieces while they chill. Arrange two strips of Ti leaves or banana leaves on top of one another in a cross shape. Your piece of fish should fit in the center of the cross without overlaying.  You will use the sides of the leaves to wrap your piece of fish for steaming later. Top with grilled vegetables if you prefer. Begin with the lower strip and carefully fold the leaves over the filling by alternating strips in a cross shape. Use each new strip to fold the loose end of the previous strip over the filling.  Tuck the last strip beneath the packet. Tie closed with the thinner boiled strips you prepared earlier. Repeat for the rest of your mahi mahi pieces. Use a rack or steamer basket in a large pot with water until it rests just ½ inch below the top of the rack or basket. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Carefully place your fish...

Article in English: The Transtheoretical Model of change  says that we go through stages leading up to our awareness of a situation. The individual goes through a process that finally ends by accepting the new behavior. These stages include:   Pre-contemplation: During this stage, the individual is not ready to change. Often, this is due to being uninformed or under-informed on the issue at hand.  Contemplation: This stage involves considering making a change. The individual begins to weigh the positive angles of change, although he is aware of the negative sides of changing.  Preparation: During this stage, the individual has made a decision to change, and has started making plans to institute the change.  Action: During this stage, the person is making efforts to change the behavior. This may involve a reduction in certain activities, or an increase in other activities, for example.  Maintenance: This stage involves maintaining a level of activity to ensure that the behavior has changed and remains changed.  Termination: During this stage, the behavior has changed so that the individual does not experience relapse, even under stress, depression, anxiety or other emotional states. We only focus on certain aspects of the person we idealize, and they become a grandiose fantasy that we create.  We choose only to look at those features we idealize while we reject other characteristics that were not appealing to us. When you compare yourself with others, you may view yourself negatively. If you have negative thoughts about yourself, tell yourself to change those thoughts into something about yourself that you are proud of. For example, if you know someone else who can write well, instead of envying her talents, think about your talents. Tell yourself, “I may not be the best writer, but I can draw very well. Besides, if I want to improve in writing, I can work towards this goal for myself instead of envying others for their talent."

Article in English: The UK Government website has an easy online form that will tell you what type of visa you need. Check it out here. Most immigrants will need a visa of some kind, allowing them to live and possibly work in the UK for a certain amount of time. Once you know which type to apply for, get started at visa4uk.fco.gov.uk. It's best to allow several months for your visa to get approved.  If you need more information, the rest of this section explains the immigration and travel requirements in detail. Otherwise, skip ahead to the next section. The United Kingdom is the state made up of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. You do not need a visa specific to England or any other jurisdiction of the UK. If you are a citizen of any country in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the right to live and work in the United Kingdom. This includes all countries in the European Union, plus Iceland, Lichtenstein, and Norway. Citizens of Switzerland also have this right. However, the referendum held on continuing EU membership on 23 June 2016, which resulted in the British electorate voting to leave the European Union (51.8% in favour) could lead to the EU freedom of movement rules being no longer valid in the next few years.  All you need is a passport to prove your citizenship. While not required, you may also want to apply for a registration certificate. This may help you prove your rights when applying for various benefits.  Family members of European citizens who are not themselves citizens must still apply for a visa. They can apply for permanent residency after the citizen family member has worked in the UK for five years. . Search at monster.co.uk, fish4.co.uk, reed.co.uk, or indeed.co.uk. If a UK company wants to hire you, you can apply for a visa. How long this lets you stay depends on your job:  Tier 2 visas are available for high-demand fields, listed in detail here.

Article in English: The UV index is a measure of the strength of the sun’s UVA and UVB rays on any given day. The higher the index the stronger the sun, and the greater chance there is of tanning and damaging your skin.  You can check the UV index in your area on local weather reports, or websites like the Sunburn Map, and the World Health Organization’s UV Index webpage. A low UV index is between 0 and 2, and indicates that you don’t really have to worry about sun protection. A moderate UV index is between 3 and 7, and this means sun protection is required. A high UV index is 8 and above, and means that you should take extreme precautions to protect yourself. An extremely high UV index is 10 and over. When the sun is this strong, you should stay indoors whenever possible. The sun is always strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. When possible, you should stay indoors during this time.  To avoid the sun during peak times, try to schedule outdoor activities and trips for the early morning or late afternoon instead of midday. It’s not always possible to stay inside when the sun’s rays are at their most intense, but if you must go out, take precautions to protect your skin. This is especially true when the UV index is moderate or high. The sun is stronger in the summer months, but you do still have to worry about sun protection in the winter. This is especially true if you like to ski, for instance, because the air is thinner at higher altitudes, and this means the sun is stronger. When you do have to be outside in the sun, staying in the shade is one of the best ways to protect yourself from your skin getting darker. Finding shade is especially important on high index days, and when the sun is at its strongest in the middle of the day. Great sources of shade include:  Tall trees with dense leaves Buildings Roofed structures like gazebos and patios It’s always a good idea to take a regular umbrella out with you, because it can protect you against both sun and rain. A black umbrella can provide a UPF of 50+, so you can use...

Article in English: The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has produced a map with information about temperatures and growing conditions in different “zones” of the U.S. The Madagascar dragon tree can only be kept outdoors all-year round in zones 10 and 11, which are located on the coast of Southern California and the tip of Southern Florida. While this map is most useful for growers living in the U.S., other countries (such as Australia) have produced similar maps using the same temperature guidelines. Go online to find information about your growing zone. If you live in zones 8 or 9, you can keep your tree outdoors during the spring and summer and bring it indoors once the temperature has dropped. Optimally, these plants prefer temperatures above 65 °F (18 °C), so pull it indoors as soon as the temperature begins to drop in early autumn. You may also be able to keep this plant outdoors in the warm summer months in northern USDA zones. Keep a close eye on the weather, though! If your evening temperatures drop below 60 to 65 °F (16 to 18 °C), your plant could stop growing or die. Your tree should get about 4-6 hours of sunlight over the course of the day. To keep it from burning up, it should have at least a few hours of shade, as well. Keep an eye out for leaves with dry, brown tips. This means you’re giving your plant too much sun. Yellowing leaves means it needs a bit more sunlight. To test drainage, dig a hole in the soil and fill it completely with water. Let it drain and then fill it again. If the hole drains in under 15 minutes, your soil has good drainage. If the hole takes more than an hour (especially if it takes longer than six hours) to drain, you’ve got slow-draining soil. If the drainage doesn’t need to be adjusted too much, you may just be able to add some compost and well-rotted manure to improve it. For severe drainage issues, you might need to invest in underground piping to remove the excess water. Measure the diameter of the root ball to get the right-sized hole. Center the tree in the hole, then...

Article in English: The United States federal government places no restrictions on private citizens recording their phone conversations, but many states require consent from all involved parties. Without such consent, your records will be legally useless in those states, and could even get you in trouble.  There are 11 states that require consent from all parties: California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington. In addition, the state of Hawaii requires full consent any time a recording is made inside a private residence. If you're planning to tap a phone line instead, there are federal laws you must abide by in addition to state laws. Tapping a phone is the act of recording a conversation without the knowledge of either party. It is generally illegal except in certain law enforcement situations. Recording your phone calls can be very useful, but it can also have unexpected consequences. Arm yourself with knowledge and play it safe.  You may get into a state jurisdiction snafu if you record a conversation without two-party consent, and it turns out that the other conversant lived in a state where two-party consent is mandatory. Even though you aren't breaking the law in this case, your phone records might be thrown out of evidence. Your friends and family may be upset with you if you begin to record all your calls and they find out. It's better to speak to those close to you before you start, and respect whatever boundaries they set with you. Depending on how above board your own calls are, there could be trouble if your records fall into somebody else's hands. Be sure you're living on the straight and narrow with regards to your love life, your finances, and any illicit activities you might be tempted to discuss over the phone.

Article in English: The Vans Authentic is the classic canvas-and-rubber low-top shoe that most people are casually familiar with, even if they may not know it. These shoes, which bear a passing resemblance to Converse's classic Chuck Taylors and come in a wide variety of colors, are highly versatile. Authentics will look good with almost any casual outfit, so feel free to experiment!   Pairs well with: Jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, printed long-sleeve shirts, skirts, vintage wear.      Style tip: Match the color of your Authentics to the clothes on your upper body for a deliberate, put-together look.    Slip-ons are all about ease. With no laces to bother with, a pair of slip-ons can come on (and off) in seconds, making them perfect for when you're on the go. Slip-ons aren't just a high-class version of slippers, however — just like Authentics, they look good with virtually any casual outfit.   Pairs well with: Jeans, t-shirts, shorts, sweats, PJs, yoga pants, skirts, denim cut-offs, skinny jeans.      Style tip: Keep a pair of slip-ons by the door for convenience's sake — this way, you'll look good even when you have to rush out of the house at a moment's notice.    Vans' "C&L" (or "canvas and leather") line of shoes looks just like ordinary Authentics, but with real leather trim along the top of the tongue and heel. This minor change makes a world of difference, giving the shoes an air of class similar to what you'd get from a nice pair of topsiders or yacht shoes. Though these shoes look good everywhere, they're best with outfits that are just a little more formal than you might ordinarily wear with Vans.   Pairs well with: Fitted jeans, blazers, semi-formal button-ups, sweaters, semi-formal skirts and dresses.  Style tip: For the best possible look, take care of your leather. If it gets dirty, clean it gently with a damp cloth. If it gets wet, allow it to dry slowly at room temperature (drying too fast can cause it to crack.) If it gets too dry, rub a little leather care cream into it. Vans has a wide range of low-tops made from...

Article in English: The Venus flytrap is native to Carolina boglands, where the soil is constantly wet. It's very important that the soil in your Venus flytrap's pot or terrarium be kept moist to mimic its natural habitat. That said, the Venus flytrap should not be kept in standing water; make sure the pot or terrarium drains well so that the plant doesn't rot. Tap water is usually too alkaline-heavy or contains too many minerals to use to water a Venus flytrap. An easy way to get enough water to keep conditions moist and humid is collecting rainwater for this specific purpose. Set out a container to catch the rain and store it up so you'll have some on hand whenever you need it. Otherwise, you can buy distilled water by the gallon in most grocery stores. During the warmer months, you can keep it either outside (as long as the temperature doesn't dip too low at night) or place it in the window in the sun. Take care to water the Venus flytrap consistently so that the sun doesn't dry out the soil, especially during the summer.  If your Venus flytrap is in a glass terrarium, make sure it doesn't get burned in the sun. If the plant looks like it's wilting a little, take it out of the sunlight after a few hours every day. If you'd rather not worry about making sure it gets enough sun, you can also grow Venus flytraps using a fluorescent grow lamp. Just make sure to keep the lamp 4 to 7 inches away from the plant. Turn on the grow lamp so that it provides a regular day's worth of light, and make sure to turn it off at night. If the leaves of the Venus flytrap aren't rosy pink, it's probably not getting enough sun. Venus flytraps have a natural dormancy period during the winter season. It usually lasts from September or October through February or March - the natural winter of the Carolinas. During this time, the Venus flytrap should be kept at a temperature of 35 to 50 °F (2 to 10 °C), with less sunlight than it receives during the summer months.  If you live in growing zone 8 or below, you can keep the Venus flytrap outside all...

Article in English: The Windows 7 Setup DVD is the disc you used to install Windows 7 (or the Windows install disc that came with your computer). You also may have burned a Setup DVD on an earlier date using the Windows USB/DVD tool. If you created a Windows 7 Setup flash drive at a previous time, you can use that in place of a DVD. If you don’t have either, you can borrow one or the other from a friend. Verify that your computer is configured to boot from CD/DVD ROM or USB flash drives  in the BIOS. When you see “Press any key to boot from CD or DVD" (or "Press F12 to select a boot device"), follow the on-screen instructions. Windows thinks it will be installing a brand new operating system, but you’ll really just be temporarily changing the name of a program called Sticky Keys. This will open the command prompt, where you’ll type the following commands:  Type copy d:\windows\system32\sethc.exe d:\ and then press ↵ Enter. If Windows is not installed on the D: drive, use the drive letter where Windows is located (such as E: or F:). You’ll know if it’s the wrong drive if you see the message “The system cannot find the specified path.” Type copy /y d:\windows\system32\cmd.exe d:\windows\system32\sethc.exe and press ↵ Enter. Again, if Windows is not installed on the D: drive, use the proper drive letter. Type exit then press ↵ Enter. This will ensure that your computer doesn’t try to boot from the DVD or flash drive. Usually this action will launch the program Sticky Keys, but this time it will launch the command prompt. Type the following commands:  Type net user Administrator PASSWORD and press ↵ Enter. Replace “PASSWORD” with a new password for the Administrator account. Type copy /y d:\sethc.exe d:\windows\system32\sethc.exe and press ↵ Enter. Replace d: with a different drive letter if necessary. This will rename the Sticky Keys program we modified earlier. Type exit and then press ↵ Enter. You can now log in with the Administrator account.

Article in English: The Wither explodes once its health bar fills up entirely; the explosion alone is enough to wipe you out in one shot, so put as much space as you can between you and the Wither before it finishes spawning. The Wither knows exactly where you are at all times, and it blows up any blocks that it touches. Your best bet is to retreat while attacking as you go rather than hiding and waiting for an opportunity. Don't stop if the Wither is anywhere near you, since doing so makes you an easy target. A fraction of a health slot can be the difference between surviving the fight and succumbing to the Wither. If you have a bow and arrow, sniping the Wither while backing up is your best bet. Unfortunately, the Wither will become impervious to arrows once its health reaches 50 percent. Once the Wither is down to 50 percent health, it will drop down to your level. This is your chance to hit the Wither quickly with your sword, so do so while circling the Wither.  Avoiding the Wither's attacks while hitting it as much as possible is the only way to proceed from this point until the Wither dies. The Wither regenerates health, so your attacks have to be consistent. Once you defeat the Wither, make sure you pick up the nether star it drops. The nether star can be used to create a beacon.

Article in English: The Xbox 360 can easily access the Internet wirelessly in an instant! It has a built in Wi-Fi adapter that allows it to connect to your router automatically.

Article in English: The abbreviation “i.e.” should always appear with a lowercase “i” and a lowercase “e” in a sentence, with a period between both letters. The abbreviation "i.e." does not need to be formatted differently than the rest of the document or paper. Leave it in regular case, with no italicizing or bolding. ” This will help the abbreviation stand out and let the reader know you are providing additional information after “i.e.” For example, you may write, “He prefers native plants in the garden, i.e., plants that naturally grow in the area” or “I have a soft spot for holiday music, i.e., songs that are about Christmas or Halloween.” " in the middle of a sentence, never at the beginning or end. The abbreviation “i.e.” should always appear after the first section of the sentence, in the middle, so it is grammatically correct. For example, the sentence, “I.e. he likes super heroes” or the sentence, “He likes super heroes, i.e.” are incorrect.

Article in English: The abstract is a brief description, typically no longer than 200 words or so, that summarizes all elements of your project, including the research methods used, the results, and your analysis.  Avoid overly scientific or statistical language in your abstract as much as possible. Your abstract should be understandable to a larger audience than those who will be reading the entire report. It can help to think of your abstract as an elevator pitch. If you were in an elevator with someone and they asked you what your project was about, your abstract is what you would say to that person to describe your project. Even though your abstract appears first in your report, it's often easier to write it last, after you've completed the entire report. The introduction of your report identifies the purpose of your research or experiment. Explain to the reader why you undertook this particular project, including the questions you hoped to answer.  Aim for clear and concise language to set the tone for your report. Put your project in layperson's terms rather than using overly statistical language, regardless of the target audience of your report. If your report is based on a series of scientific experiments or data drawn from polls or demographic data, state your hypothesis or expectations going into the project. If other work has been done in the field regarding the same subject or similar questions, it's also appropriate to include a brief review of that work after your introduction. Explain why your work is different or what you hope to add to the existing body of work through your research. Use this section of your report to provide a detailed account of how you went about your project, including the nature of any experiments conducted or the methods you used to collect raw data.  Include a description of any particular methods you used to track results, particularly if your experiments or studies were longer-term or observational in nature. If you had to make any adjustments during the development of the project,...

Article in English: The abstract is a very short summary of the paper, usually no more than 200 words. Base the structure of your abstract on the structure of your paper. This will allow the reader to see in short form the purpose, results, and significance of the experiment.   The purpose of this short summary is to provide the reader with enough information on the experiment that they can see if they want or need to read the entire report. The abstract helps them determine if your research is relevant to them. Devote a sentence to describing the purpose of the project and its significance. Then, very briefly describe the materials and methods used. Follow up with a 1-2 sentence description of the results of the experiment. You might also provide a list of keywords listing subjects related to your research. Begin with a short outline or review of related literature or experiments. Then, outline or summarize the theoretical background of the issue. Next, provide a statement about the problem or question that this research has raised. Summarize your project and discuss how it addresses the problem or question. Finally, briefly explain your experiment, but save the details for the materials and methods or analysis section of your paper. The introduction will outline what the experiment is, why it was done, and why it is important. It must provide the reader with two key pieces of information: what is the question the experiment is supposed to answer and why is answering this question important. This is an educated and well-articulated explanation of the expected results of your research known as a hypothesis. Your hypothesis should go into your introduction, near the end.  A research hypothesis should be a brief statement that pares down your problem that you described in your introduction into something that is testable and falsifiable. Scientists must create a hypothesis from which an experiment can reasonably be designed and carried out. A hypothesis is never proved in an experiment, only "verified" or "supported". correctly....

Article in English: The acidic, anti-bacterial and antiseptic properties in some vegetables and fruits allow them to lighten the skin naturally.  Potatoes, cucumbers and lemons are three that can help eliminate dark skin under the arms.   Potato - Thinly slice a potato and rub a slice on the dark area. Or, you can grate some of the potato to release the "juice."  Apply this juice to your underarms, let it dry 10 minutes and rinse.  Cucumber - Just as you did with the potato, you can rub cucumber slices on the affected area or grate some of the cucumber and use the juice.  You can go a step further and add a few drops of lemon juice and some turmeric (enough to make a paste) to the cucumber juice.  Apply the paste, wait a half hour and wash off.  Lemon - Rub a thick slice of lemon on the dark area; the fruit will remove dead skin cells and lighten the skin.  Follow-up by washing and, if necessary, applying moisturizer.  (With continued use, lemons can dry out the skin).  Add a small amount of tumeric, plain yogurt or honey to lemon juice to make a paste that can be left on for 10 minutes and then rinsed clean.  Egg oil - Gently massage egg oil on the dark area and leave on overnight; the omega-3 in egg oil promote re-epithelisation (new skin cells) which make the skin smooth and light. Wash in the morning with a pH balanced soap or body wash. The single most important thing you can do to prevent or treat dark underarms is to moisturize the area at least twice a day. Prefer to use natural moisturisers like aloe vera, lecithin etc. Dark underarms may be caused by dead skin cells that have accumulated there, so exfoliating can reduce the dark appearance of the skin.   Sugar - Mix a cup of brown sugar with 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil. Apply to wet skin for a minute or two during a shower or bath and rinse.  Try using the mixture twice a week when you bathe.  Baking soda - Make a thick baking soda-and-water paste to use as a scrub.  After scrubbing, rinsing and drying the area, you can apply a dusting of baking powder to the skin...

Article in English: The action could be something dramatic, such as the protagonist in a perilous situation or a glimpse into a later scene in the novel where things are more fast-paced. You could also just use something small to set the hero off on a perilous journey as they are going about their normal routine.  Don't forget to also include setting details as you go along, so your reader knows where the story is set. For example, The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown opens with the dramatic death of a Louvre curator, instantly drawing the reader in. One way to introduce your suspects is to have them interact with the victim before the victim dies; the detective will need to witness this introduction. Another option is to have a witness or a connected person name possible suspects to the detective.  For instance, the detective may witness the suspect and victim having an argument before the victim dies. Alternatively, maybe the detective asks a neighbor, "Can you think of anyone who had issues with the victim?" The neighbor might say, "Well, let's see. I have seen a young man visiting late at night when her husband was out of town. I suppose he might be involved somehow." A murder mystery is a fast-paced story. It shouldn't drag, so if you haven't introduced your crime by the third chapter, you're probably going to lose readers. As you try your hand at writing a murder mystery, you may realize that you don't actually know that much about killing a person. That's perfectly normal, but you should do some research to make the scene more realistic.  For instance, stabbing someone isn't as easy as it sounds. It's actually pretty difficult to force a knife into someone, especially someone who's struggling not to die. Keep in mind that most "amateur" killers are going to make mistakes. They aren't trained to kill, and most people don't even know how to land a killing blow. What that means is things are going to be messy. Put some thought into how someone gets rid of a body. A body is hard to move, plus it's pretty conspicuous. It's also...

Article in English: The actual steps for making your own account are quite simple. Go to Etsy.com, click ‘register’, and fill in the blanks. The tricky part is coming up with a suitable username for the long haul. This will become your identity on Etsy. It will also be part of your URL (username.etsy.com) and your brand. Choose carefully because it cannot be changed later.  Make sure your username is easy to spell so that you don’t have difficulty referring people to it. You can capitalize the first letter of each word if you want. It won't affect the url or your login, but makes it look nicer when people come to your page. You may not always sell the same type of item or craft, so try not to make your shop name too specific. If you originally name your account “Yarnworks” but later stop knitting and begin selling jewelry instead, it will be confusing to customers. Etsy automatically sets everyone up as a buyer, so you must change your account settings so that you can sell things as well. Log into your account, click the ‘sell’ tab at the top of the page and then ‘get started’  on the following page. You will just need to enter in a valid credit card to complete the process. When buyers visit your Etsy shop, they will be directed to your ‘storefront’. This is the front page of your shop, from which you are allowed to add text, a banner, and personal information about your shop. Having an attractive storefront will significantly increase your chances of making a sale, so make sure that yours looks professional.  Design a banner to go across the front of your shop with your shop name. Make sure that it is professional and relevant to the products you sell. Fill out your “about the seller” tab. Include a small photo and some personal information about you or your shop. Giving buyers the opportunity to know who is making the products they are viewing will encourage them to support you. Before you can begin listing your items, you must know prices you want to sell them for. The best way to determine an accurate price is to input...

Article in English: The adrenaline rush you experience when doing something novel or challenging gets your heart racing and is similar to how you feel when you get a crush on someone. The best part about this is, she will associate the feeling of excitement with you  and it may help create a heightened sense of romantic interest in you .  Not only are couples who engage in exciting activities significantly happier in their long-term relationships , but being in an excited state of mind also increases sexual arousal in the short-term as well.  Go on some rides together before you are alone together. Ski, hike, dance or to a concert—anything that will get the adrenaline flowing for both of you. Evening often works the best because dim lights and darkness has been found to increase attraction, communication and connection, physical contact and sexual arousal. Plus, special or new surroundings are sure to make the kiss more memorable. The location might be outside under the stars, in a candle-lit restaurant or a dark gym during lunch, but make sure the two of you have some privacy. She may not want an audience. While you will want to dress in clean clothes, brush your hair and look good for your date, don’t forget to pay special attention to your oral hygiene. Brush your teeth, and don’t eat anything strong or stinky like garlic before and during your date.  You can also bring along breath mints or gum just in case.  You’ll want your lips to be soft, so bring along some lip balm or chap-stick as well. Wear red. It makes men seem more attractive and sexually desirable.

Article in English: The adult flea only visits its host to feed, so for every flea you see on the pet, it is estimated that another 20 are living off the animal in her bedding, the carpet, and the sofa.  It is also important to be aware that the female flea lays her eggs on soft furnishings such as carpet and upholstery. These eggs are very hardy and, in the absence of a suitable host, can lie dormant for years. Once the eggs hatch, the flea larvae and pupae will develop in carpet or bedding, feeding off dirt in order to complete their life cycle and become adults. As a result, it is necessary to kill off any eggs or larvae hidden in the dog's bedding, or the carpeting and sofa, otherwise the mother dog or puppies could easily become reinfected. As explained in the step above, the environment in which the puppy lives is likely to be rich with flea eggs, larvae and pupae waiting to mature into the next generation of fleas. Therefore, this bedding needs to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected in order to fully eliminate the fleas.  Flea eggs have an extremely tough protective shell, so putting the bedding through the washing machine will not be enough to eliminate them. Use an anti-flea spray or bombs that contains insecticide. The insecticide will find its way into remote corners of the bedding where flea eggs, larvae and pupae may be hiding. Use the insecticide according to the instructions on the packaging. Once you have applied the insecticide and given it time to take effect, you will need to put it through a very hot cycle in the washing machine to remove any residual insecticide (that could harm the puppies) and wash away dead eggs, larvae and fleas. Finally, you will need to kill any fleas living in carpeting or any other soft furnishings. To do this, you should use a permethrin-based insecticidal spray, such as Staykill or RIP fleas.  The manufacturers of these sprays recommend vacuuming prior to spraying. This loosens up the pile of the carpet and helps the spray to penetrate more deeply. In addition, the vibration from...

Article in English: The advantage of faking a mild concussion is that you won’t have to limp or use crutches or a sling like you would with a leg or arm injury. Instead, you’ll have to show your injury through the way you talk and react to certain things. Faking a concussion will also mean that you’ll be spending a lot of time by yourself as you pretend to go through the recovery process. Doctors often recommend that people suffering from a concussion take time off from work or school, or that they shorten their school or workdays. Explain this to your employer or your school and ask for some time off. If you can’t take full days off, work for only half a day or take breaks throughout the day.  You can also ask for a reduced workload at school or work. You’ll also need to avoid physical activity for a few weeks. A concussion is typically caused by a blow to the head, and is often caused by contact sports like football or soccer. If you don’t play a sport, though, you can say you got a concussion from knocking your head against a wall on accident, or falling and bumping it against the floor. a few times a day. Hold your head and grimace slightly in pain a few times a day. Talk less than usual, rub your forehead a bit, and close your eyes to show that your head hurts.  Headaches are often caused by light or loud noises, so you can fake one when you’re in bright light or somewhere noisy, like a restaurant or at lunchtime at school. Don’t ham it up too much, or people won’t take you seriously. Keep your signs of a headache subtle and simple, mentioning it only once every few days or when someone asks. A concussion often comes along with difficulty sleeping at night. Act subdued or tired during the day and complain of your fatigue to your co-workers, classmates, or friends if they ask how you’re feeling. If you’re trying to fake a mild concussion to someone who lives with you, toss and turn a lot when you’re getting to sleep or even set a quiet alarm to get up during the night. Try to appear scattered at work or at school by letting...

Article in English: The advantages of publishing through a website include:  Little overhead; the costs that go into writing and editing the book are the same costs that go into publishing it. Making an e-book doesn't cost much extra. If you hit it big, you hit it big. E-book publishers such as Kindle Direct Publishing let the author keep 70% of the total revenue of the book, meaning that if your book blows up and you price it competitively, you could be in for a windfall.  You keep all of your rights. You don't have to give up your rights to a publisher who may not have your best interests in mind. The disadvantages of publishing through a website include:  You're responsible for all the marketing and advertising yourself. The publisher won't market or advertise for you, usually. Competitive pricing. E-books can cost as little as cents, meaning that you'll have to sell a lot of books in order to make publishing profitable over the long term. Online publishers such as Smashwords, Kindle Direct Publishing, PubIt (Barnes & Noble), or Kobo's Writing Life  will let you self publish your book for free in e-book format. You will need this to upload your book and manage all the details involved. Many of these format from familiar word processing programs, or you can hire someone to format the document for you. Once you finish the categories listed by the website, choose to finish publishing and your book is printed. You are now a published author!

Article in English: The advent of a wide range of smoking-cessation medications has offered many new options for those seeking to quit, but for most people, support networks and professional assistance seem to be critical factors.  Quitting is as much of a psychological as it is a physical task, and proper guidance, motivation, and encouragement is essential to success for most people.  It is essential that you surround yourself with the right people at this time.  Seek out supportive friends and family who understand your desire to quit and will offer you encouragement and even constructive criticism as warranted.  You will probably need to stay away from many of your old “stomping grounds” and normal leisure activities for at least a while, as you may associate these with smoking.  Make sure your friends and family can support such changes.   How to Quit Smoking offers more information on the need for support, as well as more detailed information on quitting smoking in general.  This WikiHow article on quitting also offers a helpful array of advice regarding the need for internal and external emotional support when you want to stop smoking. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to smoking cessation, but some methods seem to be more likely to succeed than others.  According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a combination of counseling plus medication offers the best chance for success.  This is followed by use of medications alone — including Chantix and nicotine patches, gums, sprays, etc. — and counseling and support alone. Accept that your initial attempt(s) to quit will quite possibly fail, no matter how highly-recommended your approach and how strong your determination.  An early failure or two does not mean you are weak-willed; it means you are normal.  Keep trying, and know that you can quit — because anyone can quit with the right mix of methods and support. The support of friends and family is essential, but smoking cessation often also requires the help of people trained specifically for the...

Article in English: The affected ear should be facing up, with your other ear facing the ground. You can make yourself more comfortable by lying down or placing your head against a cushion. It’s best to use an eyedropper to avoid adding too much. It doesn’t matter which option you choose, as all will work. However, saline solution and peroxide are sterile, which means they’re less likely to cause an infection if they get stuck in your ear. Do not put any fluid into your ear if you may have an infection or perforated eardrum. Gravity will pull the fluid down into your ear, where it will soften the wax. It only takes a minute or so for this to happen. Don’t wait longer than a few minutes, as the liquid could travel further into your ear. The loosened wax should start to drain from your ear with the help of gravity. You may want to place a towel under the ear to catch it.  If you’re lying down, simply turn over. As an alternative, you could use a bulb syringe to suck out the loosened wax. The doctor can examine your ear to make sure that it’s just earwax. They can also use a more precise technique to remove the wax, if necessary. If you’ve tried to remove ear wax using items like cotton swabs, then it’s possible that you’ve accidentally made it more compacted. The doctor can help with this.

Article in English: The air around you is pressing against you and every other object, with a pressure as high as 101 kPa (14.7 pounds per square inch) when you're at sea level. This would normally be enough to crush a can by itself, or even a person! This doesn't happen because the air inside the soda can (or the material inside your body) is pushing outward with equal pressure, and because the air pressure "cancels itself out" by pushing at us from every direction equally. When the water in the can boils, you can see the water start to escape as little droplets in the air, or steam. Some of the air in the can gets pushed out when this happens, to make room for the expanding cloud of water droplets.  Despite the can losing some of the air inside it, it doesn't get crushed yet, because the water vapor that took the place of the air is pushing from the inside instead. In general, the more you heat a liquid or a gas, the more it expands. If it is an enclosed container so it can't keep expanding, it exerts more pressure. This is known as Gay-Lussac’s Law. When the can is turned upside down in the ice water, the situation changes in two ways. First, the can is no longer open to the air, since water is blocking the opening. Second, the water vapor inside the can rapidly cools down again. The water vapor once again shrinks down to its original volume, the tiny amount of water at the bottom of the can. Suddenly, most of the space inside the can has nothing in it at all – not even air! The air that's been pressing from the outside of the can this whole time suddenly has nothing on the other side to resist it, so it crushes the can inward. Space that has nothing in it is called a vacuum. The appearance of a vacuum, or empty space, inside the can has one other effect besides causing the can to be crushed. Watch the can carefully as you lower it into the water, and again as you lift it out. You might notice a small amount of water getting sucked up into the can, then trickling out again. This is because the water pressure is pushing...

Article in English: The alcohol and oil used in this lamp are flammable, and must be treated with care when heating them to get the lava moving. Children should show an adult these instructions and ask for help, and not attempt this on their own. Commercial lava lamps use a proprietary combination of melted waxes. The homemade version doesn't achieve exactly the same look, but after some tweaking your "lava" should bob up and down in similar, gooey glory. You can use any clear, glass container that you can seal tightly and shake. Glass can withstand heat much better than plastic, making it a good choice for a lava lamp. Screw the lid on the jar tightly before you start moving it around. Place the jar on a stable, heat-safe surface, such as a large, upside-down flower pot. This should have enough space underneath it to cover a small lamp.

Article in English: The alkaline properties of baking soda make it ideal for breaking down any acidic residue and restoring the clarity of lenses. When combined, water and baking soda form a thick paste that can be used to remove a scratch while cleaning the glasses. The amount of water and baking soda you should use depends largely on the size and number of scratches on your sunglasses. Start with a tablespoon of water and two tablespoons of baking soda and add more for heavily scratched sunglasses. Stir them together until the mixture turns into a thick paste. Make sure the mixture isn’t too watery as it will be less effective in removing the scratches. Dip a portion of the cotton ball into the water and baking soda paste. You only need a pea-sized amount of the mixture for each scratch. Take the cotton ball and rub it on the scratch in a circular motion for about 10 seconds. This movement will help buff the scratch from the lens. Use cool or room temperature water to wash away the paste. Take extra care to remove the paste from the crevice between the lens and the frame, or any other tiny areas where the paste could seep in. These types of cloths are crucial to ensure your glasses aren’t further scratched in the cleaning process. Consider picking up a pack of Microfiber eyeglass cloth at your local drugstore or supermarket. Use this to wipe away any remaining traces of paste from the lens. Put the sunglasses under a light and carefully look for any remaining damage. Continue to clean the scratch with another cotton ball dipped in the water/baking soda paste if the scratch is still visible on the lens.

Article in English: The alkaline substance will help to neutralize acidic smells from fish, sticky spills and some leftovers. The box of baking soda should be replaced every 30 days, because the top of the baking soda can crust over as it absorbs moisture, limiting its absorption process. Alternatively, you can use a commercial freshening product. It is likely to be emanating from things that have been in there over a week. Clean out your refrigerator every week to avoid "mystery smells". Flush the food down with water for 30 seconds to 2 minutes, to make sure it travels all the way down your pipes.
