Article in English: Before getting out there as a model, you should research available photographers in your area. It is best to find a photographer that does headshots and can handle makeup. You will need to have a mild layer of makeup applied for your headshot.  Look online for photographers who meet this criteria. You might also have luck finding a good photographer through an agency you’re in contact with. Yes, you will need to pay for a good photographer to do your headshots. It is a vulnerable part of the process, but being a model is a vulnerable job. You want the highest quality you can afford. It is best if your photographer or agency can do make up.  A good photographer will take several photos, sometimes up to a hundred. Then they'll communicate to you which one you'd like to use. Some headshots are taken outside, and others are shot indoors at a studio. Both of these can be effective, if done by the right photographer. Talk to friends in the modeling world to find out if they have any connections to a modeling agency. If not, go online and research nearby modeling agency. It is better to pick an agency that is close to you as opposed to commuting over an hour.  If the closest modeling agency is an hour or two away, consider if this is what you truly want for yourself. If you do, then go for it. Distance cannot stop dreams.  Many times your photographer will have contacts with a modeling agency. Some agencies will even look through your photographer's headshot portfolio if they need someone urgently. Go into the modeling agency if it is convenient. It is best to make physical contact with a modeling agency. Go into their office with your headshot in hand. Be confident, but open for what type of advice they may give you. Send a few emails as well to agencies you think might sign you to do a few gigs.

If you are drafting an email, be sure to include an...

Article in English: Before getting tested for either oral or genital herpes, observe the symptoms of the disease on your body. This can not only help you get a diagnosis and treatment more quickly, but may also save you from unnecessary medical tests.  The symptoms of genital herpes include: pain or itching that begins two to 10 days after being exposed to an infected sexual partner, the formation of small red bumps or tiny blisters on your genitalia, ulcers that develop when the blisters or bumps rupture, scabs that materialize while the ulcers heal. It may also be painful to urinate or you may have flu-like symptoms such as fever or muscle aches.  The symptoms of oral herpes include: itching, burning, or tingling of the lips and mouth; flu-like symptoms such as sore throat and fever; and the formation and subsequent breaking of blisters or a rash.  Both oral and genital herpes may be accompanied by mild to severe pain on the affected area. If you recognize symptoms of either oral or genital herpes or even suspect you might have it, see your doctor as soon as you can. This can not only help confirm a diagnosis, but also help treat the outbreak quickly and effectively. Your doctor may be able to confirm a diagnosis simply by sight or may order additional tests. Your doctor may most likely diagnose oral herpes by simply looking at your mouth area. If this is the case, she may or may not prescribe medication for you. If your case of oral herpes isn’t conclusive, your doctor may order further testing. There are several different option from which she may choose, all of which can confirm a diagnosis and help you get treatment.  Your doctor may conduct a DNA test called Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAAT). Your doctor will swab the affected area and collect a sample. She’ll run further tests on the sample to determine if you have herpes. The Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test is the most commonly used of the NAAT tests.

Article in English: Before going for a cup of tea or coffee, have a glass of water each morning. Try to make this a daily habit. At first, pouring water down your throat each morning may feel difficult, especially if you're not used to drinking early in the morning; however, after a few days you should get used to drinking water early in the morning.  If you're not a morning person, you may forget to drink a glass of water right away. It may be a good idea to leave yourself a note in a place you'll look right away in the morning, like near the fridge or coffee pot. You can also set a daily reminder on your phone about drinking a glass of water. You can schedule it to go off each morning just after you wake up. Oftentimes, people forget to drink water simply because of a lack of access. If you don't have water near you during work or school, you may neglect to drink it. Try carrying a water bottle with you throughout the day. Keep it at your desk at work or place it in the book bag you take to class. Try to pick a quality water bottle that will not break easily. If you have to spend a little extra money for a higher quality water bottle, it may be worth the cost. Try to make a point of taking the opportunity to drink water whenever you can. If you see a water fountain, stop and take a sip. Even if you're not feeling thirsty, make a point of stopping at a fountain to drink. These small sips of water will add up, resulting in an increased fluid take throughout the day. Go for water with all your meals instead of juice, coffee, tea, or alcoholic beverages. Have a glass of ice water when you eat at home. When you dine out, tell the waiter you're fine with water as a drink. Take a large sip of water before starting your meal. Then, take sips of water in between bites. Not only will this up your overall fluid intake, it will help you feel full faster. Many people dislike water due to the lack of taste. You can take steps to flavor your water to help you enjoy it more, giving you the incentive to drink it.  You can infuse your water...

Article in English: Before going, find popular brands online and check the prices and the quality. The better cellos should be more expensive, but not necessarily. If you have a private teacher, see if they can come. They will usually know which brands are best. At most stores there will be employees just waiting to help customers like you. Different heights require different size cellos. The employee will probably have you try out a few different cellos. If a cello's C-peg comes to your left ear when you put the end pin out, it is a good size cello for you. Be sure you do not have to put the end pin out more than a foot or so, otherwise you will have to get a new cello very soon. A good case is one that will protect your new cello and have room for a bow, rosin, and a cleaning cloth without having any of them banging up against the cello. Most cases are just made of fabric but there are also harder cases that have wheels. These hard cases are usually more expensive, but are more durable than the fabric ones. Some cellos include a bow, some do not. If yours doesn't, you need to look at the bow selection. A good bow is not too long or too heavy.

Article in English: Before having a conversation with your crush, take some deep breaths.  You'll want to be totally calm when you approach him. You might also choose to listen to some music to boost your mood and confidence beforehand. For instance, listening to Cardi B's song "Bodak Yellow" might hype you up and make you ready to take on any conversation. When you see him, don’t look down at the floor or be embarrassed, show him your pearly whites!  Smiling is a great way to help others feel comfortable, and it can even improve your own mood. Show him you don’t mind him knowing your secrets by being warm and friendly. To feel confident, you must dress the part.  On the days you know you’ll see him, take a little extra time getting ready.  Iron your clothes the night before and wear a shirt that complements your eyes. Make sure your hair is neat and put on some nice-smelling fragrance. For instance, you might wear that dress that hugs your figure or a shirt that shows off your nice arms. When you’re at home, close your eyes and imagine yourself walking right up to him being confident, happy, and at ease. You'll find that this will be easier to do in real life if you've already created the vision in your head. You can also practice having conversations with him in the mirror so you feel prepared. Don’t always be the first one to say ‘hello’ or to smile or wave.  Sometimes guys need a little space and that’s okay. Let him approach you on occasion so that your dynamic isn’t so one-sided. Don’t ignore him, though!  If he’s looking at you, look at him, too.  If he speaks to you, make sure you speak back.  You don’t want him to think you’re rude.

Article in English: Before holding your breath, inhale and exhale slowly from deep within your diaphragm. By doing this, you're ridding your lungs of low-quality air. Spend five seconds breathing in, then hold the breath for one second, before breathing out for ten seconds. Continue deep breathing for two minutes, and be sure that when you exhale, you push out every last "drop" of air.  Deep breathing allows your body to take in excess oxygen, which it can then store in the blood cells. This helps when holding your breath as your body can use the stored oxygen to continue functioning, even when you are not breathing. When holding your breath, the pressure you feel in your lungs is not the result of a need to breathe, but rather the result of a build-up of CO2, fighting to be released. This build-up of CO2 becomes increasingly painful as time goes on. To minimize this build-up, it is necessary to purge any pre-existing CO2 from your lungs, before holding your breath. To do this:  Exhale forcefully, pushing as much air out of your lungs as possible. Puff out your cheeks as you do this, and imagine you are trying to blow a toy sailboat across a stretch of water.  Once you have exhaled completely, inhale quickly and repeat. Try to keep your body as still as possible while you do this, to avoid expending any of the stored oxygen from the previous step. This is a practice run which will allow your body to adjust to the sensation of going without air. Use a timer to count down the 90 seconds, and don't attempt to hold your breath for any longer just yet.  When you inhale, don't breathe in so much that you're about to pop; this creates tension in your body and causes you to expend more energy. Instead, fill your lung capacity to about 80-85% capacity so that you still have room to relax. Once the 90 seconds is up, exhale briefly to rid your lungs of the used air, then take three breaths, inhaling and exhaling fully. This is known as semi-purging. Once the first 90 second practice run is up, repeat the deep breathing and purging...

Article in English: Before inducing vomit, make sure it is the right thing to do. If your dog swallowed any of the following substances, you should induce vomiting at home:  Antifreeze, if your dog swallowed it in the past two hours Chocolate Grapes or raisins  Tylenol or Aspirin  Plants, such as azaleas and daffodils If your dog is laying on its bed or on the carpet, you’ll want to move your dog somewhere else before inducing vomiting. For example, take your dog outside or move your dog to an area where cleaning up vomit will be easy, like a room with linoleum flooring. If your dog is weak, it may not be able to walk easily on its own. You may need to carry your dog or at least help it walk to where you want it to go. At first, it may seem strange to feed your dog to get it to vomit. However, feeding your dog a little food can actually increase the chances of vomiting. A small portion of canned food or a slice of plain bread are good food choices.  Canned food will be easy for your dog to eat and is tastier than dry food. Your dog may not want to eat on its own. If this happens, try putting the food directly in your dog’s mouth to get it to eat. Do not spend a lot of time trying to get your dog to eat. This is very important! Do not try to get your dog to vomit before calling your vet or animal poison control center. When you call, provide as much information as possible so they can instruct you on what to do (and what not to do) next. Important information includes:  What you think your dog ingested (toxic plant, house cleaning product, chocolate) How long you think it’s been since your dog ingested the toxin Your dog’s symptoms Your dog’s size If your vet or poison control center says it’s okay to induce vomiting, give your dog 3% hydrogen peroxide, which is available at your local pharmacy. It is the preferred vomit-inducing product for dogs. Give your dog one teaspoon hydrogen peroxide per 10 pounds (4.5 kg) of body weight. Use a measuring spoon to measure the right amount of hydrogen peroxide. Draw up the hydrogen peroxide...

Article in English: Before initiating sexual intimacy, spend time together doing something relaxing or enjoyable beforehand. This will give you and your girlfriend a sense of connection and calm. Some ways you can relax together are:  Have a quiet dinner together. Go on a walk. Watch the sunset. Take a shower or bath together. If you slowly increase how much you're touching her, her sexual arousal may increase as well. Touching her is more subtle and could potentially lead to fun, more spontaneous sex.  Kiss her. Give her a gentle shoulder massage. Hold her hand. Stroke her arm. Tickle her. Always check-in with her as you touch her to avoid making her feel pressured to have sex. You can ask, "Does this feel good to you?" or "How are you feeling?" Create a sensual environment to further set the mood for intimacy and sex. You want to make your girlfriend feel comfortable, turned on, and wanted. You'll also want to make sure you're in a safe place where you won't be interrupted. You can:  Dim the lights. Put out candles or light a fire. Put out soft and clean sheets. Put on soft jazz or other instrumental music. Eat sweet fruit or chocolate. Be romantic in your relationship on a consistent basis. Women tend to need to feel connected to their partner emotionally before engaging in sex, and romance is a great way to achieve this feeling. Romance shows that you're thinking of her and makes her feel more secure in the relationship.  Some romantic things you can do include:  Buy her flowers. Write her a love note. Send her a romantic poem. Spend time talking with her and cuddling in bed.

Article in English: Before initiating such an important conversation, take some time to think about why you want to have this discussion with your parents. Is it because you are secure in your sexuality and confident that you want to live your life openly? Or are you feeling angry, resentful, and overwhelmed? If you are upset or angry, then it may not be the most appropriate time to share this information.  There are many reasons why you might choose to come out. It is up to you as an individual to decide when it is a good time and when there is a good reason. For instance, maybe you are very close to your parents and you don't like the distance that keeping a secret creates between all of you. Avoid coming out because of anger. Remember, your sexuality is not a weapon to be used to upset anyone. If you feel that the only result will be a hateful response, consider waiting to have this talk. Consider your living situation. Do you depend on your parents for housing and necessities such as food? Or do they pay your college tuition? Think about the possible consequences of coming out. You want to feel very confident that your parents will continue to support you despite your gayness.  If you are worried about being kicked out of your home, consider waiting to come out until you are financially independent. Consider your safety. Are you scared that one or both of your parents may become violent? Make sure you have a plan to get to a safe space if that occurs. One strategy is to identify a friend who can provide a safe place for you to go if the conversation with your parents does not go well. This space can also give your parents time to reflect on the conversation so you can have a follow-up conversation. You also want to think about the possible benefits of coming out. For example, this could make your relationship with your parents much stronger. You might also feel emotionally better and a huge relief knowing that you don't have to keep your sexual identity a secret. Try having a variety of plans ready. For example, if your...

Article in English: Before injecting any substance, make sure the needle you are using has been stored in a clean container, and has never been used by anyone else. Never share cotton balls, containers of water, or any other drug-related equipment with another injecting drug user. Sterile needles are available at pharmacies, or at free needle exchange programs in some areas. In most places, you do not have to explain why you are buying or exchanging the needle. Avoid receiving body piercings or tattoos performed by anyone but licensed professionals in a well-maintained professional environment. All needles use should be brand new, and you should watch the artist open the sealed package at the start of your appointment. The use of contaminated instruments could result in the transmission of HIV. There is no way to completely disinfect a needle by yourself. There will always be a chance that a used needle transmits HIV. Use this only if you are going to inject anyway, and do not expect it to protect yourself completely:  Fill the syringe with clean tap or bottled water. Shake or tap the syringe to stir it. Wait 30 seconds, then eject and throw away all water. Repeat several times, then additional times until no blood is visible. Fill the syringe with full-strength household bleach. Shake or tap it, and wait 30 seconds. Squirt it out and throw it away. Rinse the syringe with water. . Addiction makes drug users more likely to take risks. The only certain way to eliminate the risk of HIV transmission from injected drugs is to stop injecting. Attend a drug addiction meeting in your area for help and more information. Whether you are a drug user or health worker, be very careful around used syringes. In a hospital, assume that all fluids are infectious. Assume that any sharp or broken equipment may be contaminated with infected fluids. Wear gloves, a face mask, and long sleeves. Pick up contaminated objects using tweezer or other tools, and dispose of them in a clear container or biohazard bag. Disinfect all skin, hands, and surfaces...

Article in English: Before installing the new fuel filter, compare it to the one you just removed.  Make sure they appear to be the same outside diameter, that the nozzles are the same size, and that it will fit into the bracket.  If the fuel filters do not match, you will need to return the new one for the correct replacement filter. Do not attempt to use a fuel filter for a different application in your vehicle, as it may not be capable of allowing the appropriate volume of fuel to pass through it. Jack up the car to relieve the weight on the jack stands, then slide them out from beneath the vehicle.  Once the jack stands are clear, lower the vehicle to the ground by either releasing the pressure in the jack or turning the jack handle counter-clockwise, depending on your style of jack.  Be sure the jack stands are completely out of the way, otherwise they may damage the vehicle if lowered onto them. Once the vehicle is safely on the ground, reconnect the battery to complete the project.

Article in English: Before jumping into a new business endeavor, research current market trends, clothing production ins-and-outs, and success stories from other clothing line creators. Read fashion industry trade publications to stay updated on emerging trends and issues within the industry. If possible, reach out to a successful fashion entrepreneur and request their advice about your new project. Set a monetary goal before setting out to earn money for your startup costs. Watch every dollar going towards your goal by keeping a record book, Excel sheet, or whiteboard tally of your total earnings. Startup costs for an independent, self-run clothing line start at about $500 for initial inventory. Do various odd jobs to add to your startup cost earnings. Ride share driving, freelance writing, data entry, dog walking, tutoring, house cleaning, babysitting, and giving lessons are in demand tasks that you can be payed to do by neighbors, friends, or friends of friends. Post your skills and availability in classified ads, on sites like Craigslist, or on social media to be shared by friends and family. To avoid borrowing money from loved ones or close friends, use a peer-to-peer lending service to procure startup money for your clothing line. Peer to peer lending sites connect borrowers to potential investors more quickly and easily than a bank, and with less hassle. Opt to sign up with a large, well-established website which will present your proposal to a wider range of possible investors.

Article in English: Before lying to a teacher, consider his or her personality. This can have an impact on how you should deliver your excuse.  If your teacher is particularly strict, be prepared to answer a lot of questions. A stricter teacher is likely to grill you, poking holes in your excuse. For example, say you claim you couldn't turn in your online math homework because your internet cut out. A strict teacher might respond with something like, "Then why didn't you go do your homework at a coffee shop?" Have a response ready. Try something like, "My mom was working and there was no one to drive me."  Do you know anything about your teacher's personal interests? This can help you gauge what excuse may work for this person. For example, you know your chemistry teacher is the oldest of 7 children. He may be more sympathetic to a story about how watching your younger siblings kept you from getting your work done. The briefer your excuse, the easier it will be to remember. When making up an excuse for a teacher, keep your story short. Going into excessive detail can seem suspicious and you'll also be more likely to accidentally change aspects of your story.  Stick to only the important details. For example, say you're planning on claiming your piano recital got out late, and this is why you didn't finish your math homework. Do not go overboard with the details. Simply say, "A few students played their solos too long, so we didn't get done until 9:30 and it was a 45-minute drive home." Do not say, "Chester Mifflin spent 25 minutes on his routine when we were only given 10, and then Lisa Gregory was a little late getting up on stage..." The longer your lie, the more unbelievable it sounds. Most people would not remember this much detail. If your teacher presses you for specifics, you can improvise as needed but avoid excessive detail. For example, your teacher might ask, "How long did the recital run over?" Do not say, "It was supposed to run until 8:30 but it was 9:23 when we got out." Instead, say something somewhat vague,...

Article in English: Before making a purchase, ask yourself how your purchase will impact other people and the natural environment. This can be as simple as buying an entire jar of peanut butter, rather than individual servings; or as complicated as deciding the most environmentally-friendly car to buy. But don’t stress—start small.  In general, avoid purchasing products with excess packaging. Oftentimes, food companies expend just as much energy creating the packaging for food products as is expended in producing the actual food.  Don't buy what you don’t need. Buy for durability. For items you do buy, look for things which will last a lifetime. Search "buy it for life" to find forums and recommendations for durable products. Borrow or rent items you need only for brief or occasional use. Buy secondhand clothes and household items from thrift stores, consignment shops, and private sellers when you can. While disposable items are super convenient, anything made to only use one time and throw away should be avoided. Not only do they create more environmental waste, they end up costing you more money in the long run.  Opt to use your own reusable shopping bags instead of the plastic bags provided by the store. It may mean more clean up, but try using your regular cups, plates, and utensils at your next birthday party or event. Most tap water in developed countries is safe to drink, which means that buying bottled water is unnecessary. Buy a glass or metal bottle and fill it with water. Next time you need batteries, get rechargeable ones instead of disposable. Most batteries can now be thrown out with the regular trash—thanks to a reduction in chemical use—however, they still take up space in landfills.   If you're menstruating, consider using a reusable menstrual cup, such as the Diva Cup, rather than pads and tampons. These cups are easy to insert inside your vagina, just like a tampon, where they collect your menstrual fluids for hours at a time. Don’t just throw your old stuff in the trash. Consider selling it or giving it away...

Article in English: Before making a trip to the vet's, check your cat's ears at home. The more information you can provide in the vet's office, the better. Self-diagnosis is not recommended, but doing a preliminary check to examine symptoms is a good idea.  The wax from a cat with ear mites is excessive and dark in color. There will often be scratches of scabs near the base of the ear from excessive scratching.  Cats may be sensitive about having their ear's touched if they're experiencing discomfort. Try having a friend or family member help you by holding the cat while you push back their ears to look inside. To get a firm diagnosis, a vet trip is necessary. This prevents a misdiagnosis of ear mites, which is common as other conditions mimic the same symptoms, and the vet can also provide you with treatment options.  Diagnosis ear mites is very easy for veterinarians and it can usually be done via a routine and non-invasive physical exam.  Your vet will use an otoscope, an instrument used for examining the ear, to magnify the ear and look at its internal structures under light. Usually, if ear mites are causing the symptoms, the vet will see them.  If your vet does not see ear mites, this does not necessarily mean your cat does not have ear mites. They will probably request a swab of the ear and examine it under a microscope to confirm ear mites. Ear mites are usually a benign condition but can sometimes cause complications if not treated properly or promptly. Be aware of the various complications of ear mites.  Ear mites can lead to infection if not treated promptly. Your cat's ear canal can be affected, which can permanently damage hearing.  If your cat scratches excessively around their ear, this could lead to ruptures blood vessels that require surgery.  For these reasons, home diagnosis and treatment is not recommended for ear mites. After watching for symptoms and checking your cat's ears, make a vet appointment immediately.

Article in English: Before making any kind of dietary or bodily changes, you should get a full evaluation from the doctor. If you have a preexisting condition like high blood pressure or high cholesterol, your doctor may advise against gaining weight. Always take your doctor's advice seriously before making this kind of change.  Certain medical conditions will require you to keep your weight up. Thyroid problems, digestive health issues, diabetes, and cancers may all lead to severe weight loss that may endanger your health. Being underweight can lead to health risks like a weakened immune system, anemia, hair loss, and decreased bone density.  Very high physical activity can also cause you to be underweight. If you're an athlete, gaining some fat may be good for you because it can increase your energy levels and allow you to workout for longer periods. You'll need a clear plan as you proceed with your weight-gain plan. How much do you want to gain? By when? By figuring this out and drawing up a schedule, you'll be able to gain weight more effectively.  Start by figuring out how much weight you want to gain. This can either be a personal goal, or one you've worked out with your doctor or dietitian. Either way, you need a concrete number in mind to start your progress. Remember, the basic way the body gains weight is when you take in more calories than you burn. So when drawing up your plan, you should figure out how much you need to eat every day to offset the amount of calories you burn. There are various ways to calculate this. Try this link for a tool to estimate your daily calorie burn: http://www.caloriecount.com/tools/calories-burned  Read Set Meaningful Goals for more advice on how to set and stick to a goal.

Article in English: Before moving onto the more obvious steps like cosmetics and fashion, it's important to have a strong foundation in health; too look like someone, you have to act like her! Megan has stated that she adheres to a strictly raw, vegan diet. This means eating a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, and staying mostly away from meat and animal by-products, like eggs and dairy. Megan will still eat some meat and non-vegan ingredients, but she eats them in strict moderation. Her health-conscious eating habits are a large part of why she's able to maintain such a good figure.  Most raw food diets include fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, sprouts, root vegetables and squashes, fresh herbs and spices. Try working these foods into your diet as much as possible. If you're used to a meat-heavy diet, you may have to eat larger dishes than you're used to, but you should notice a major difference in the way you're feeling within a week.   Megan stays away from processed foods, like potato chips and white bread. These 'empty snack' foods are notoriously low on proper nutrition, so it's recommended to replace these common snacks with healthier substitutes like almonds. Not only will this make you more like Megan, you'll most likely find you have far more energy than you used to! Megan eats three meals a day, with two smaller snacks in between. Eating throughout the day gives your digestive system time to consume at a more even rate, ensuring you'll have consistent energy. The times and rate at which you eat are almost as important as what you eat, so evenly distributing your food throughout the day is an important part of achieving Megan's health.  For breakfast, Megan eats eggs. Usually she eats two egg whites with avocado.  She also may have a smoothie for breakfast. If you follow this routine, make sure your smoothie has a variety of high-nutrient vegetables. As eggs are animal by-products, it is recommended you keep them as a secondary part of your breakfasts; this will keep your cholesterol low, and have you feeling your...

Article in English: Before moving the machine, get the water bucket out of the way. Wipe up any spills or drips. You wouldn't want to slip while moving the machine. Ensure there are no additional plugs or hoses connecting the washing machine to the wall. Continue moving the machine out of its place. There may be water inside the washing machine. If you are keeping this washer, this is a good opportunity to clean the water intakes with a bristle brush to remove any debris that may have accumulated over the years. Unless you are setting the machine back up in the same spot, it's a good idea to remove the power cord or, if it is not removable, tape it in place.  This will protect the plug and prevent the cord from being pulled out accidentally during moving. It's also a good idea to remove any knobs that can come off the machine, to prevent loss. If you will be moving the washing machine any significant distance, it is important to secure the "drum," the inner chamber of the washer that moves.  Depending on the model of your machine, this can be achieved with special bolts, a large y-shaped piece of foam, or even simply tightening some screws in the back.  Consult your manual on how best to secure the drum in your machine. You may need to buy a special kit for this. If you are planning to move the machine any distance, leave your cords attached to the machine. You can tape any dangling cords to the sides of the washer to keep them out of your way.

Article in English: Before opening the system up, make sure that you have disconnected the power cable and the video cable, as well as anything plugged into the USB ports. Like working with any other piece of sensitive electronics, ground yourself before working on the innards. You can use an antistatic wrist strap to keep yourself grounded, or touch a screw on an active light switch. Before you open the case, you will need to remove the hard drive. Luckily, the hard drive on the PS3 is fairly simple to remove. Remove the HDD cover on the left side of the PS3. You will need to unscrew a blue screw that is very easy to strip, so be careful when unscrewing it. Pull the hard drive straight out once you remove the screw.  While you are looking at this side, remove the sticker towards the top of the case to reveal a Torx screw. You will need a Torx screwdriver (star) to remove this screw. In the front, there will be four small star screws. For these, you must have a small hole in the screw to get them out due to the metal sticking out the middle of them. Removing the sticker will void any warranty you have on your PlayStation. Once the Torx screw has been removed, you can slide the top panel off of the PlayStation. This will reveal the top shell which is secured by nine screws around the edge. Some of the screws are identified by arrows printed on the plastic. Remove these screws and set them aside.

Article in English: Before or after school, carve out some time for exercise. It doesn't matter if you lift weights, walk around your neighborhood, swim, or jog on a treadmill; you’ll lose weight if you stay moving for about 60 minutes each day and burn more calories than you consume.  Small spurts of exercise quickly add up. Try signing up for a 30-minute gym class at school, doing 10 minutes of basic stretches and aerobic exercises as soon as you get home, and going for a 20-minute run with your family dog in the evening. Rather than playing soccer video games with your friends after school, suggest that you all go out to the park and kick around a soccer ball. Sports teams, group fitness classes, and clubs can make exercise more fun and will hold you accountable. Find an activity you enjoy and sign up for a group through your school or local community.  Consider a competitive sporting team, an intramural sports team, or a group that just plays for fun. Don’t be discouraged if the first few sessions of your fitness class are really tough. You’ll build strength and stamina as the weeks go by. Use a phone app or fitness tracker to calculate your daily step count. Start with a relatively low step goal, and each week increase it so you walk a little further. At home, work, and school, take the stairs rather than the elevator or escalator. When you’re watching TV or studying for an exam, do this standing up. Or turn on your favorite song and dance around your room for a few minutes.  Walk at a brisk pace but slow down if you start getting out of breath then slow down. Instead of slouching, stand or sit up straight to engage your core muscles. Standing will burn more calories than sitting.  Rather than taking the bus or catching a ride to school, try bicycling to and from school if you live nearby.

Article in English: Before preparing yourself to tell someone else, take care of yourself. The news may impact you, too. Or, it may disturb you considerably even if it doesn't impact you directly. It is important for you to have given yourself a chance to recover your feelings before you try to explain things to someone else. Perhaps have a cup of coffee, take a shower, meditate or do deep breathing for a few minutes, or simply sit in a quiet dark place for some moments to give yourself the chance to pull together. Once you've moved past the initial shock, it'll be less intimidating to tell the other person but it's important to acknowledge that it may still be hard. Before you break some bad news, it's important to have an idea of how much you're willing and able to share. Be gentle and share information about the new development that can help shed more light for the person.  Don't ramble or make small talk. This is easier on the person receiving bad news than beating around the bush. Provide the story of what has happened (the narrative) to explain the events. Look the person(s) straight in the eye and calmly tell them what has happened. This can help you to formulate the words you'd like to use, but be prepared to remain flexible and ready to adapt to the other person's cues. The words and your style of delivery are dependent on who you are, your relationship to the person you're breaking it to, and the context of the news.  If there has been an accident and someone has died, practice saying so directly, but gently:  "I'm so sorry to tell you this; Michael was in a terrible car accident." Aim to give the person a little time to emotionally prepare for what you might tell them, and after they take a breath to collect themselves, they'll say, "What happened?" or "How is he?" Then follow up directly with, "I'm so sorry, but he was killed." If you lost your job, say something like: I'm really sorry to have to say this but the company has been taken over by a bigger network. Then you follow up with, And I have unfortunately been...

Article in English: Before purchasing any weight loss pill over the counter, spend some time researching that supplement online.  Find reliable sources of information that can provide you with the benefits, disadvantages and any possible side effects or dangers of the supplement you're interested in. Studies completed by the company itself or recommendations from celebrities, magazines, or newspapers generally are not reliable. There are some websites and government sites that offer extensive information on vitamin, mineral, herbal and weight loss supplements.  They include all unbiased, reliable research that has been done on the supplements they have listed. Most over-the-counter diet pills will advertise some sort of weight loss claim.  It's important to understand these claims are not regulated by the FDA and may be false.  Be aware of "clinically proven" claims on supplements. The supplement company should provide supporting evidence to this claim.  If there is no supporting information or studies only completed by the company itself, it's important to realize this may be a false claim.  Also be aware of unsafe, unreliable products.  They will have claims such as "lose 10 pounds in one week" or "24 hour diet."  These are generally unsafe supplements. All medications, even prescription medications, come with a list of possible side effects.  While they may be rare, it's important to be aware of exactly how a medication or supplement could affect you.  Read all information on possible side effects prior to taking any medication or over the counter diet pill. Note that some ingredients of many weight loss pills are not well studied and side effects are not well known.  For example, bitter orange is known as an "ephedra substitute" and may be associated with similar negative side effects.Take extreme caution when ingesting diet pills.

Article in English: Before purchasing your tank inhabitants, it's always best to observe every fish in the store for signs of disease. Even if the fish you want doesn't seem to show signs of ich, it is still exposed to and may carry on ich into your aquarium at home. Some fish have very good immune systems and may just act as carriers to the disease. By introducing a carrier to ich, you are exposing your resident or current tank inhabitants to ich who may or may not have similarly strong immune systems as your new fish. Set up a separate smaller tank so you can observe your new fish for signs of disease. If there are any diseases present, treatment will be much easier but always do the full treatment dosage amounts. Don't think that a small tanks means you only need to do a reduced amount of treatment. When you add new fish to a quarantine tank or any tank, never add the water it was previously in into your aquarium. This reduces the likelihood of transferring tomites into your tank. This prevents the introduction of diseases to other tanks. Similarly, use different sponges and other cleaning tools for each tank. If you can't afford multiple nets, sponges, and cleaning tools, allow for each item to completely dry before using it on another tank. Ich cannot survive in a dry environment. Plants in tanks with fish carry more diseases than those grown and sold separately. Alternatively, you can quarantine tanks for 10 days without fish and treat them with ich treatments to be sure that it isn't infected.

Article in English: Before purchasing, check the expiration date on the package. Then, before use, make sure you also check the expiration date printed on the condom wrapper. If it’s expired, toss it out. Never use an expired condom. It could tear or fail. Check out the wrapper for any signs of obvious rips or tears. If the package is torn or ripped, toss the condom out and use a new one. Female condoms are polyurethane or nitrile pouches with flexible rings at each end that you insert into the vagina or anus. They collect pre-cum and semen, preventing pregnancy and reducing the transmission of STDs.  Female condoms don’t protect women during oral sex. For that, you will need to use a dental dam, or a condom that is cut open. Don’t use a female condom and a male condom at the same time. It doesn’t provide twice the protection — in fact, it can cause breakage in either or both condoms. These are the zig-zag edges on either side of the wrapper that are designed to tear apart quickly and easily.  Don't get carried away in your passion. Don't shred open the package, and stay away from scissors, teeth, machetes, or any other sharp instrument to open a condom wrapper, or you could tear the condom itself! A torn condom won’t protect against pregnancy or STDs.  Female condoms are more expensive than male condoms, at about $4 apiece. Many women find it easy to stand with a foot on a chair, lie down, squat, or raise one leg up. You’ll find out what works best for you with a little practice. Female condoms have a flexible ring at each end. One end will be closed, a lot like a male condom. Pinch the ring at the closed end of the condom with your thumb and middle finger so it narrows. The open end should be hanging down. If you’ve used tampons before, this is the same process. Squeezing the ring to keep it narrow, insert the closed end of the condom as far as it will go. Insert your index finger into the condom and push it gently into your vagina. Be very careful if you have long nails — tearing the condom will render it ineffective.  You...

Article in English: Before pursuing from-home employment, evaluate your expertise, work experience, and goals. Ask yourself, “What skills do I have? What kind of work am I willing to do? How much money do I want to make? How much time am I willing to commit?” Be honest with yourself – this information will help you narrow down your options.  Start thinking about your transferable skills. Then update your resume. If you have a family, make sure that your work-from-home goals align with the family’s priorities. If you have no experience or are looking to start a new career from home, some of the best fields to consider are IT, accounting, and marketing. These are somewhat technical fields, so you’ll need formal training. The good news is that you can earn an affordable associate’s degree in each field at your local community college or through online programs. If you don’t have the time, money, or motivation to pursue a degree, don’t worry. There are plenty of ways to make money from home. Work-from-home scams were the top Internet crime in 2011, and very little has changed since then. If an employment opportunity sounds too good to be true, well, you know the rest. Legitimate online work opportunities require no initial “investments,” and they certainly do not come in bulk emails. To maximize your efficiency, update your computer’s operating system and acquire a high-speed internet service. Find a suitable work space in your home and demand that others treat it with respect – this is your new office!

Article in English: Before removing the battery, power down your phone using the Power button. This will prevent any data being lost and keep apps from being corrupted when the power source is removed. This method only works for phones with removable batteries. It is not possible with iPhones or other phones with affixed batteries. Gently remove the battery from the phone. Generally, you will need to push it slightly towards the bottom of the phone before pulling it out. The location of this will vary from phone to phone, but the IMEI/MEID number is usually printed on a sticker that is affixed to the phone underneath the battery.  If the phone has an IMEI number but you are on a network that uses MEID numbers, ignore the last digit (IMEI is 15 digits, MEID is 14 digits). GSM networks like AT&T and T-Mobile use IMEI numbers. CDMA networks such as Sprint, Verizon, and US Cellular use MEID numbers.

Article in English: Before removing the tank, you'll have to jack the car up. Do this by positioning a car jack underneath the car and slowly moving it into the air. This will provide space for you to get underneath the vehicle.  Consider using two jacks to securely lift your vehicle. Position the jack or jacks under the jack points of the car. Consult your owner's manual for these locations. Before cleaning the tank, make sure to remove it from the car. By removing it, you’ll be able to properly drain, inspect, and clean it. To remove the tank, disconnect screws and straps that hold it in place.  Make sure you are not directly below the tank when disconnecting it. Use another jack, preferably a transmission jack, to lower the fuel tank. After you’ve removed the tank, you need to drain it completely of any fuel that might remain in it. The extent of this process may depend on the age of the tank, how much fuel is left, or the style of the tank. To drain it:  Use a suction device to transfer the gasoline into a storage container. If there is some liquid you still can’t’ remove, turn the tank upside down and allow it to drain into a container. You may find that sludge or other debris will move out with any remaining gasoline If your tank still smells of gasoline after you’ve drained it, you may need to degrease it. You’ll find that you get much better results by degreasing the tank.  Use a degreaser like Marine Clean. Try mixing dish detergent with hot water. Let the degreaser or soap and water mix sit in the tank for up to 24 hours. If the degreaser or soap mixture does not work after 24 hours, consider degreasing the tank again for a longer period of time. After removing the tank, you’ll want to take a pressure washer and spray down the inside of the tank. This will help dislodge dirt, debris, and small flakes of rust. It will also help rinse out gasoline sediment.  Use a pressure washer or a regular garden hose and sprayer to clean the inside of the tank. You may need to point the sprayer at different angles to remove light...

Article in English: Before reschedule your job interview, try to rearrange your other plans instead. Your job interview serves as a first impression for a potential employer, so rescheduling may come off as unprofessional. If possible, rearrange the other parts of your schedule before rescheduling your job interview. Rescheduling a job interview can be a huge inconvenience to everyone involved. Because of this, it's important that you contact your potential employer to reschedule at least 24 hours before your scheduled interview. When you contact your interviewer, give a brief explanation for your need to reschedule. Be as honest as possible. Give your interviewer a few alternative dates that will work for your rescheduled interview.  If you're rescheduling due to another job interview, it's best not to tell your interviewer that. Tell them you've had a work or family conflict come up, and that you'd love to reschedule your interview for another time. If a life emergency happens and you cannot give 24 hour notice, contact your interviewer as soon as possible to let them know what happened. If it's a real emergency (you were injured, you have a family emergency, etc.), your potential employer should understand. If you're still interested in the job, express that when you call to cancel. Say something like "I'm very sorry, but an emergency has come up and I won't be able to make our interview tomorrow. I'm still interested in the position and would be extremely grateful if we could reschedule." When possible, make direct contact with your potential employer instead of sending an email or leaving a message. Making contact via phone will make you look like a responsible professional. Make an effort to get in touch with your interviewer in numerous ways, and only leave a message or send an email if you cannot reach them via phone.  Never send a text message to reschedule an interview, as it will make you look unprofessional. If you end up leaving a message or sending an email, ask that your interviewer contact you to confirm they got...

Article in English: Before resorting to blatant sabotage, help an incompetent co-worker sabotage themselves.  If this person is consistently late to work, extend an invitation to a late night outing on a work night. Separately arrange a meeting for early the next morning with your supervisor, telling them that your coworker will be there. Show up bright-eyed and ready to work, acting confused as to why your coworker wouldn't show up for the meeting. If your coworker has an issue with cursing in front of customers, invite your religious grandfather to bring a group of his church friends past when your coworker is working. Let them complain to the manager instead. Sometimes you just want to get rid of somebody. Time to channel your inner Jim Halpert and bring out the nukes. Be extremely careful if you attempt to manipulate things to try to get someone fired, or you could be the one who ends up getting sacked.  Order adult products to your coworker's work address, but leave off the suite number so that the delivery person has to make a big deal of searching for it. The more inappropriate, the better. Hop on your coworker's computer and send lewd, but believable emails to your boss. Change their computer desktop to porn while they're away. Tell your boss you want to meet with them at your coworker's desk right at the beginning of the day, before they've gotten the chance to notice it. While it may be your first reaction to want to get your coworker straight-up canned, any scenario in which they leave the job is good for you. Maybe that means recommending them for a new job you think they'll be attracted to, or continually talking to them about how bad the job is, convincing them to quit. If they think they're acting in their own best interest, you're doing everyone a favor.

Command: Line -->  Draw a line of a length that you want to use (for example, you have an object in your drawing, and you want it to be 100 units long, so draw a 100 units long line). This is going to be your reference length. Command: Scale --> select entire drawing, except your reference line, press space. Type "re" (as reference), press space. Pick first point and endpoint of the object from your drawing, that you want it to be 100 units long. Type "po" (as points), press space.

Article in English: Before showering, run a bar of soap over the mirror lightly, making sure to cover the whole surface. Take care not to rub the soap too hard, or the soap scum will obscure the mirror completely.  You can do this exact same experiment with liquid soap or Vaseline.  If you are concerned about the appearance of your mirror after rubbing soap on it, use window cleaner to clean away any excess soap. This should leave your mirror looking clear, even after being subjected to steam. If you don’t want to do the whole mirror or can’t reach parts, just cover the parts that you need (like the area where your face will be.) Pour a small amount of whatever shampoo you have available onto a folded paper towel. Use your paper towel to wipe the shampoo over whatever part of your mirror you want to keep clear. Then, take a clean paper towel and use that to wipe the mirror dry.  Use twice the amount of shampoo you would normally use to wash your hair. Make sure to wipe the mirror completely dry, otherwise you will end up with a blurry looking mirror. This same trick can be done using shaving cream, toothpaste and laundry detergent. Use whichever one you have handy. To create your mixture, combine one cup of vinegar and one cup of water. Stir the solution until you are satisfied it has been sufficiently mixed. Pour the mixture into an empty spray bottle and spray the mixture directly onto your mirror. Use a paper towel to wipe the mirror down.  For a little more defogging power, add a few drops of dish soap to your mixture. This method should last a couple of days, so continue to re-spray your mirror as necessary.

Article in English: Before so much as jacking up the vehicle, you need to remove the axle nut. Start by removing the hubcap for the respective wheel of the CV axle to be replaced. For vehicles with rims, you may simply have a cap at the center of the wheel rather than a hubcap. If your vehicle has a cotter pin securing the axle nut, you will need to remove it. The pin will resemble a bobby pin with the ends folded back to hold it in place.  You will need to use pliers to straighten the two bent ends of the cotter pin before you can remove it. If the pin is stuck, try spraying it the a penetrating lubricant from a hardware or automotive store. The lubricant should actually help with the axle nut as well. Once the cotter pin is out, you can remove the axle nut. The nut will take significant torque to remove, which is why it is much safer to remove the nut before jacking up the vehicle. Unfortunately, axle nuts do not have a standard size, and the socket size required will be different for different vehicles. The parts department at a certified dealership for your vehicle make should be able to tell you the exact size if you want to check before starting the project.

Article in English: Before soaking unlacquered brass, make sure it does not have any embellishments such as carvings. Embellishments will be harmed during the soaking process. It's best to spot clean unlacquered brass that comes with embellishments. For unlacquered brass with heavy embellishments, consider professional cleaning. Place your solution in a pot over high heat. Bring the solution to a boil. Submerge each piece of brass completely in the boiling solution. A quick dunk should remove dirt and grime from your brass.  Items like doorknobs should be removed using the proper tools before soaking. Use tongues or a spoon to remove brass from a boiling solution to avoid burning your fingers. Rinse the brass under running water. This will remove any excess debris and wash off any vinegar residue. Make sure to rinse the brass until the water runs clean. Leftover residue can damage brass. Unlacquered brass should be set in a safe place to air dry. Put it somewhere it will not be disturbed, such as a cupboard or cabinet. Air drying is necessary to prevent the brass from corroding.

Article in English: Before spraying any glass cleaner, ensure that the area beneath them gets cleaned as well.  Leave them in the “up” position for the duration of the cleaning process. You could choose to spray either the left or right side first.  Spray in such a way that you cover the broadest possible area of that portion of the windshield which you intend to wipe first.  Two or three squirts of cleaner is usually enough.  If your windshield is very large, use four or five squirts of glass cleaner, as needed. With your microfiber rag in hand, extend your arm to the upper center of the windshield and bring it straight down along the central vertical line of your windshield.  Return your hand to the top of the windshield but slightly towards the side of the windshield you’re standing on.  Wipe another vertical line down parallel to the first.  Continue to wipe the windshield in this way, moving progressively closer to the side of the windshield you’re located on, until it has been completely wiped. If you have a hard time leaning over the front of your vehicle to access the central areas of your windshield, use a step-stool to gain some height. When you’ve completed a vertically-oriented wipe-down, begin a horizontally-oriented wipe-down.  Starting again at the upper center of the windshield, drag the microfiber towel straight out toward the edge of the windshield you’re standing on.  Then, wipe another, parallel row toward the same edge, beginning just below the first row.  Continue in this manner until the half of the windshield you chose to start on is completely cleaned. Once finished with one side of the windshield, repeat the process to clean the other half.  For instance, if you began by wiping horizontal and vertical lines on the right side of the vehicle, move to the left side in order to complete the cleaning process.  This ensures the entire windshield gets clean.  If you need to go over a certain spot more than once, wipe over it with a straight back-and-forth motion.  Do not clean using circular motions as if...

Article in English: Before standing up and preaching to the people, you should spend a few quiet minutes praying for guidance, clarity, and wisdom. Even if the text you've written has been prayerfully crafted and practiced, you still need to pray for the ability to deliver it well. You should also pray for the hearts and minds of your listeners to remain open to the message. Avoid using academic jargon or other phrasings that some of the congregation won't understand. Speak in simple, conversational terms so that the message will be accessible to everyone who hears it. This doesn't mean that you should water down or simplify the message. The truth you preach should be deep and meaningful, but the words you use to preach it must be understandable to the majority of your audience if you want them to make an impact. Your body language should be engaging. As a general rule, try to appear confident and friendly instead of looking stiff, nervous, or overly-stern.  Even if you don't feel confident, you should try to look it. Avoid nervous ticks, the frequent use of nonsense words like “uh” and “um,” and other signs of anxiety. If you don't look confident, the message of your sermon might lose credibility. Your manner of speech, movements, and expressions should match with your words. Behave seriously when talking about something serious, but relax when talking about something lighthearted. There might be times when the Holy Spirit legitimately takes you in an unexpected direction, but for the most part, you should stick to the text and points you prepared beforehand. Losing focus in the middle of a sermon can cause it to drag on and seem aimless. When a sermon drifts off course, you may end up losing a good portion of your listeners. At that point, it can be easy to start talking more in an effort to bring them, but additional rambling will usually hurt your cause more than help it. A better option would be to simply remain more concise from that point on. The use of humor and creative illustrations can help a sermon when applied in a...

Article in English: Before starting any diet, even the 20/20 diet, consider talking to your doctor first.  They will be able to provide with you guidance on whether or not this program is appropriate for you.  Start by talking to your doctor about your desire to lose weight by following the 20/20 diet. Bring in the book, recipes and allowed food lists so your doctor can familiarize himself with this eating plan. In general, the 20/20 diet can be viewed as a well-balanced diet; however, the initial phase (which is short in length) is fairly restrictive.  Talk to your doctor specifically about this phase of the diet and whether he thinks it'd be safe for you. Ask your doctor whether or not he has additional guidance, advice or resources on safe and healthy weight loss for you. Like many diets, the 20/20 diet is fairly specific — especially in the initial phases.  To help make your transition to this diet a little easier, write out your meal plan and a corresponding grocery list.  Start by reviewing the allowed foods for whatever phase you're following.  Also review the corresponding recipes that incorporate these allowed foods. To make your meal plan, take a calendar or date book and write in what you plan to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and any planned snacks.  Do this for one week at a time. Review your meal plan and recipes and write up a corresponding grocery list.  This will help keep you on track in the grocery store and prevent you from purchasing things you don't need. In addition to following a specific eating plan in the 20/20 diet, Dr. Phil also suggests setting up an exercise schedule.  He gives some specifics in the diet to help support your weight loss.  The first thing to do is to get clearance from your doctor.  The diet recommends this and it's a general safety practice you should always follow.  You need to make sure exercise is safe and appropriate for you. Consider joining an exercise program at a gym, working with a personal trainer, buy some fitness DVDs or watch them for free online, or just start...

Article in English: Before starting any type of intensive weight loss program, it's a good idea to meet with your doctor to discuss what's healthy for you. Make sure that losing body fat won't affect any preexisting conditions you may have. Taking your doctor's advice and your knowledge of your own body into account, write down some goals. It may help to plot out a fat loss schedule that you'll follow over the next six months. Set up some milestones you aim to reach along the way, to provide motivation for your weight loss journey.  Aim to lose 1 to 2 pounds (0.5 to 1 kilogram) per week if you are of average weight. Losing more than that can be damaging to your body.  Set goals that are reasonable and achievable. If you try to lose too much fat too fast, or more fat than is practical for you to lose, you'll end up feeling disappointed. Losing fat requires a lot of time, energy, and difficult choices. There will be times when you'll feel deprived of foods you love, or tired of feeling sore after exercising. Mental commitment is one of the most important factors in successful fat loss. Without it, you'll lapse into old habits, and you may even end up gaining back more than you initially lost.  Take a positive view of your body. Think of yourself as a strong, capable person with a body you can use to experience the world. Being thankful for your body's strengths will help motivate you to take good care of it. On the other hand, if you tend to internally berate yourself for not looking the way you want to look, it's going to be harder to give your body the care and attention it needs to shed fat.

Article in English: Before starting flea treatment, take your rat to the vet. Your vet will be able to identify if your rat has fleas or if they have another type of skin parasite or irritant. They can also recommend treatment options and products to use and provide helpful advice on how to safely and effectively remove fleas from your rat and its environment. Be sure to tell your vet you think your rat has fleas. Some vets may want you to take precautionary actions before bringing in a possibly flea-infested animal. using flea medicated shampoo. Using your vet's recommended flea shampoo, bathe your rat. It is very important to leave the flea shampoo on your rat for about 10 minutes in order for the medication to take effect.  Lather your rat with flea shampoo out of the water so the shampoo isn't washed away. Try putting your rat on a towel as you lather them so they don't slip away or make a mess. Or simply hold your rat in your hand while you wait the allotted 10 mins as the shampoo treats your rat's fleas. Don't get shampoo in your rat's eyes, ears, and mouth. The shampoo is strongly medicated and can be toxic when ingested by your rat. So keep a constant eye on them as you wait the allotted time for the shampoo to work. Be sure to clean your rat's tail as well. Use a toothbrush and lightly lather the shampoo onto their tail. Be careful not to scrub too hard as a rat's tail skin is easily damaged. Let your rat swim around in their bath to drown out the fleas. This can be done at any time to remove dead or live fleas from your rat. This is a great tool to use especially if your rat can't handle strong medication due to illness. Comb your rat with a flea comb and then place your comb in hot, soapy water to kill the fleas.

Article in English: Before starting yoga, it can help to figure out why you want to practice. Yoga can be a method of physical exercise, a way to reduce and manage stress, a means of healing an illness or injury, or a path to spiritual fulfillment and peace.  Think about which components of wellness you want to work on, such as strength, flexibility, stamina, anxiety, and depression. You might also want to practice for your general well-being. Consider writing down your focus for your practice.  Update it frequently and revise it as you become more familiar with yoga and grow as a student. For example, you could have a goal such as “I want to practice for at least 5 minutes every day” or “I want to build enough strength to do an arm balance posture like Lolasana.” There are different styles and ways to practice yoga and there will always be more experienced yoga practitioners than you. It’s important to remember that yoga is neither a competition nor a traditional sport, but a personal practice of mindfulness, relaxation, and physicality that is meant to enrich your life and body. There is no right or wrong way to do yoga. Your practice should be about your journey first and foremost.  Anyone can practice and benefit from yoga. Integrating yoga into your routine can help improve your physical and mental health, even if you only practice for 10 minutes a day.  It can take some time to find a specific style or school of yoga you enjoy. Similarly, finding the right teacher for you and your goals can take some trial and error. Practice keeping an open mind and adopt a non-judgmental attitude. Instead of thinking, "I'm not flexible, I'll be bad at yoga," realize that "Yoga is about the flexibility of the mind, not the flexibility of the body."   Remember that there is no competition in yoga. Every person has different abilities and the goal of yoga is to focus on yourself, not what others are doing. All you truly need to practice yoga is the ability to breathe. Certain pieces of equipment may help you feel more comfortable, though,...

Article in English: Before submerging the hat in water, you need to see if the dye will run. Dip a white cloth in warm water and rub it on a small, inconspicuous area of the hat. If the dye comes off on the rag, don’t wash or submerge the hat. If it doesn’t, the item is colorfast and can be washed. Buy a new hat instead of trying to wash one that isn’t colorfast; the hat will likely be ruined if you do try to wash it. Put the soap in the bottom of the bucket or sink and allow it to fill up with warm water. Agitate the water to make bubbles. Avoid using a detergent containing bleach or a bleach alternative, which could fade the color of the hat. Before placing the hat in the water, you should pre-treat the stain. Spray a stain treatment product directly onto the fabric, concentrating on the areas that soak up the most sweat, like the interior band. Dip the hat in the sink or bucket and swirl it around several times. Then, let it soak in the water for a few hours to allow the soap to break down the sweat and oil in the fabric. You can stir the water or swirl the hat around every hour or so, if desired. Remove the hat from the bucket or drain the water from the sink. Use cold, running water to rinse the sweat and soap from the hat. Continue rinsing until the water runs clear and there are no more bubbles. Gently squeeze out the excess water, taking care not to ruin the shape of the hat. Roll up a small towel and place it inside the hat. Reshape the bill, if applicable. Then, place the hat near a fan or open window so it gets as much air flow as possible. Let it dry fully before wearing it again, which could take up to 24 hours. Avoid letting the hat dry in direct sunlight, which could fade the color. Don’t dry the hat in the clothes dryer either, which may shrink or damage the hat.

Article in English: Before tackling any problem, we need to be able to identify the real source of our frustration. It's easy enough to huff that our grandparents are so annoying, but what is it really about their behavior that bothers us so much?  Complaining to your grandparents (or to anyone who will listen) that they are annoying won't fix anything. Try to be specific as you identify the problem to yourself: “It bothers me when Grandma treats me like I'm five when I visit and won't let me watch “The Walking Dead,” even though I'm twenty-five”. Before deciding how you'll deal with the situation and potentially confront your grandparents, spend some time reflecting and writing down your issues for yourself. When dealing with any sort of interpersonal conflict, it's important to try to sympathetically identify with the other person. This means that you need to try to put yourself in their shoes and attempt to understand their perspective.  Try to figure out why your grandparents are acting as they do. You may eventually need to have a direct conversation with your grandparents in which you air your grievances, but you'll be better prepared for this if you first make some educated guesses on your own. Grandma may not let you watch your favorite program when you're staying with her over winter break, but do you think that may be because she herself finds the program too gruesome? Is it possible that your grandparents are trying to monitor what you watch because they still think of you as their innocent five-year-old and are merely nostalgic? You may be annoyed that Grandma and Grandpa call you every other day, but is it possible that they just miss being able to see and talk to you more regularly? You have your own unique relationship with your grandparents, but you may not know much about them outside of this context. Assuming that your grandparents are willing to share, learning as much about them as possible will help you begin to understand them as individuals and may help you identify ways to begin to improve your...

Article in English: Before taking off, it's important to perform a walk-around examination called a "pre-flight." This is a visual inspection of the aircraft to verify that the airplane components are in good working order. Your instructor should provide you with a highly useful operating checklist for the specific plane and this checklist will tell you exactly what to do in each phase of flight, even pre-flight. The basics of pre-flight:   Check control surfaces. Remove any control locks and make sure your ailerons, flaps, and rudder are moving freely and smoothly.  Visually check your fuel tanks and oil.  Make sure they're filled to the specified levels. To check the fuel level, you'll need a clean fuel measuring rod. To check oil, there's a dipstick in the engine compartment.  Check for fuel contaminants. This is done by draining a small amount of fuel into a special glass container tool, and looking for water or dirt in the fuel. Your instructor will show you how.  Fill out a weight and balance sheet which helps ensure that you are not flying outside the capabilities of your airplane. Your instructor will show you how.  Look for nicks, dings, and any other type of body damage. These small imperfections might inhibit your aircraft's flying ability, especially if the prop is compromised. Always check props before an engine start. Use caution around airplane props. - If there are electrical issues with the plane, the prop could turn over unexpectedly, causing severe injury.  Check emergency supplies. Although it is not pleasant to think about, prepare for the worst. - There is always the possibility of something going wrong with the aircraft. Make sure there is a supply of food, water, and first aid items. Also ensure that you have an operating radio, flashlight, and batteries. A weapon may be needed along with standard repair parts for the plane. When you take your seat in the cockpit, all of the systems and gauges will look complicated, but they'll look much simpler once you become familiar with what they do. In front of you...

Article in English: Before talking to your parents, you’ll need to know what you want.  Don’t make your parents do the legwork of figuring out what kind of skateboard to buy.  Plus, if you leave it to them, you might end up with a board that you don’t like.  Having all the information together ahead of time shows your parents you are serious about getting the skateboard.  Skateboards have three parts: the board, the wheels, and the trucks (the piece between the wheels and board).  Shorter boards are best for beginners because they are easy to balance and handle.  If you have experience riding a friend’s board, use it to determine what kind of style you like. Pick a back-up board or two just in case your parents decide that your initial choice is too expensive. If your parents don't have a lot of extra money to spare, trying to get a cheaper off-brand skateboard might make them more inclined to buy one for you. Let them know in advance of asking for the skateboard that you’d like to ask them for help with something.  Schedule a time when one or -- preferably -- both your parents can give you their undivided attention.  Do not try to talk to your parents about buying a skateboard in the morning, as they will be busy with the morning routine of eating, brushing teeth, and gathering themselves for the workday. Do not try to convince your parents to buy you a skateboard in the evening, since they might be tired. The best time to talk to your parents is on the weekend when you all feel relaxed and can listen with an open mind. Instead of asking directly, “Can I have a skateboard?” frame your question in terms that show you know you’re asking for a favor.  Parents like knowing they are appreciated.  Try to preface your question by telling your parents you know they work hard.  For instance, you could say, “Mom/Dad, I know you work hard to provide for me.  I’m very thankful for you and hate to ask for anything extra, but I was wondering if I could get a skateboard.” Be honest when recognizing how your parents provide for you and showing...

To help calm these pre-date jitters, try doing something relaxing that can take your mind off the upcoming occasion and put you in an easygoing, happy mood. Some different ways to calm down include:  Working out or doing yoga Reading a book Watching a movie or TV show Singing your favorite song If you’re nervous about what to say on the date, try coming up with some conversation starters you can fall back on if necessary. These can revolve around topics like family, pets, art, hobbies, and current events. If you can’t think of anything, try general questions like:  “What are some things on your bucket list?” “What are your favorite movies/musicians/books?” “If you could get a front row ticket to any event, which 1 would you choose?” Before your date, take a bath or shower and make sure to clean every part of your body. Then, put on some antiperspirant or deodorant, brush your teeth, and get your hair ready. If necessary, freshen up 1 more time right before the date.  If you have facial hair, make sure to either shave it off or trim it down so your face looks nice and clean. If you want, put on some first date makeup that matches your outfit. A small amount of perfume or cologne can make a powerful statement. If you’re going to a high-class restaurant or similarly fancy place, put on something elegant like a nice dress or good-looking suit. If you’re spending your time in a relaxed environment like a movie theater or putt-putt course instead, go for something casual that flatters you.  No matter what you wear, make sure it doesn’t restrict your breath or movement too much. First dates are all about getting to know each other, so something that makes it difficult to interact will lead to a bad first impression. If you’re going to a place that requires a lot of walking, leave the heels at home. A dirty car may drive perfectly fine, but it will give your date a bad first impression.
