Article in English: Moisturizing your hair is extremely important for curly hair. Curly hair has more difficulty getting moisture to the ends because of the shape of the strand. This can cause dryness and dandruff. Moisturizing your hair helps prevent this. Use deep conditioners to replace lost moisture in your hair. Make sure to leave it in for at least 5 minutes, but longer if you have time. Then rinse with cool water to help seal the cuticle.  Deep conditioning your hair helps prevent breakage and split ends, which helps promote hair growth.  Depending on your hair texture, you can deep condition your hair once a week, or once every other week.  If you have time, go over your hair with a blow dryer on high heat for a few minutes while the conditioner is sitting on it. Heat will help your hair absorb the conditioner more effectively. When trying to grow longer, thicker curls, it is especially important to moisturize the ends. As your curly hair grows, your hair's natural oils have difficulty coating the whole length of your hair strands. In addition to using deep conditioners, try applying olive or coconut oil into the ends of your hair A little bit of olive or coconut oil goes a long way. A dime-sized amount of either oil should be sufficient to moisturize your ends. Treating your hair regularly with masks containing proteins and fatty acids can help make it thicker and stronger. These masks are easily made at home with ingredients in your fridge. Eggs and avocados are 2 great foods that can be used to make hair treatments.  Beat 1-2 eggs in a bowl. Put the egg on wet hair for 30 minutes. You can also mix in an additional egg and a tablespoon of oil (coconut, olive, jojoba). The proteins in eggs help strengthen and thicken your hair. Do this 3-4 times a week. Rinse with the coldest water you can stand to keep the eggs from cooking in your hair. Mash an avocado and banana together until they are a uniform consistency. You can also mix 2 tablespoons of oil (coconut, olive, jojoba) in with half an avocado. Massage this into your...

Article in English: Molarity expresses the relationship between the number of moles of a solute per liters of solution, or the volume of that solution. In formula form, molarity is expressed as: molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution Example problem: What is the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 3.4 g of KMnO4 in 5.2 liters of water? Finding molarity demands that you have the number of moles and the number of liters. If you are not provided with the number of moles but you do have the volume and mass of the solution, you will need to use these two figures to calculate the number of moles before continuing on. Example problem:  Mass = 3.4 g KMnO4  Volume = 5.2 L To calculate the number of moles from the mass or grams of solute used, you must first determine the molar mass of the solute. This can be done by adding together the separate molar masses of each element found in the solution. Find the molar mass of each element using the periodic table of elements. Make sure that you count the atoms for each element and calculate the molar mass of each of the atoms. Example problem:  Molar mass of K = 39.1 g Molar mass of Mn = 54.9 g Molar mass of O = 16.0 g (The solute contains 4 O atoms, so count the 16g 4 times.) Total molar mass = K + Mn + O + O + O + O = 39.1 + 54.9 + 16 + 16 + 16 + 16 = 158.0 g Now that you have the molar mass of the solute, you need to multiply the number of grams of solute in the solution by a conversion factor of 1 mole over the formula weight (molar mass) of the solute. This will give you the number of moles of the solute for this equation.  Example problem: grams of solute * (1/molar mass of solute) = 3.4 g * (1 mol / 158 g) = 0.0215 mol The grams units of the solute and solute mass cancel each other out so you are left with mol units. Now that you have the number of moles, you can divide this value by the number of liters of solution in order to find the molarity. Example problem: molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution = 0.0215 mol / 5.2 L = 0.004134615 You should round off the...

Article in English: Molarity is equal to the number of moles of a solute divided by the volume of the solution in liters. As such, it is written as: molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution Example problem: What is the molarity of a solution containing 0.75 mol NaCl in 4.2 liters? Finding molarity demands that you have the number of moles and the number of liters. If the problem provides each of these figures, no preliminary calculations are needed. Example problem:  Moles = 0.75 mol NaCl Volume = 4.2 L The resulting quotient will give you the number of moles per liter of solution, otherwise known as molarity. Example problem: molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution = 0.75 mol / 4.2 L = 0.17857142 Round off the number of digits after the decimal point to two or three, depending on your instructor's preference. When you write out the answer, abbreviate "molarity" with "M" and state the chemical abbreviation of the solute involved. Example problem: 0.179 M NaCl

Article in English: Mold can be visible, but it can also grow in air ducts, crawl spaces, rafters, and between walls. If you can't see any mold, but you detect a noticeable musty earth smell, you most likely have mold growth that you can't see. Mildew and mold will begin developing within 24-48 hours of exposure to moisture. It will quickly continue to grow until the moisture is completely removed and the mold is exterminated. If any cables or wiring are wet or moldy, shut the power off before cleaning. Have an electrician examine the wiring before turning the power back on again. You will want to dry out the moldy or wet area as quickly as possible to prevent the mold from spreading. The longer you leave an area wet, the more likely mold will form.  Open the windows if humidity outside is lower than inside. Use fans to remove moisture only if mold has not started growing. Fans can spread mold spores to other areas. Remove all wet items from the area, including furniture, carpets, toys, etc. Throw away any moldy carpeting. Mold will be almost impossible to remove from the carpet fibers. All other items can be cleaned and disinfected separately. Discard any contaminated food products. This means anything not sealed in a watertight container. If the wall has been water damaged by a flood, you will need to remove all of the wet material, including insulation, wood by-products, and anything else porous.  Drywall is incredibly porous and should be replaced at the soonest sign of water damage. Remove the wallboard to a foot above the watermark. You can drain walls by removing the baseboard and drilling holes into the floor. Make sure to check the interior of the wall for any hidden mold growth. If you are faced with a significant amount of mold growth, consider hiring professional cleaners. Mold is very hazardous when being cleaned, because disturbing the mold will cause it to release spores.  Make sure that the area you are cleaning is well-ventilated. Always wear gloves, a mask or respirator, and eye protection. Material such as...

Article in English: Mold can contaminate an entire batch of raspberries. Sort through the raspberries prior to storage. Locate and then discard any moldy berries. Moldy raspberries will have white fuzz growing on them. You should always wash raspberries prior to storage. This will help remove mold, debris, and contaminants that can make berries go bad fast. Do not wash raspberries under running tap water, as they are delicate. Running water can cause bruising.  Instead, use a colander. Set the raspberries in the colander. Fill a bowl with cold water. Dunk the colander into the bowl of cold water. Swish it around slightly to wash the berries. Even if raspberries do not have signs of mold, they may have been infected by moldy berries. You can remove mold by soaking the berries in a mixture of one cup white vinegar and 8 cups of water.  Submerge your berries in the vinegar and water mixture. Wash the berries gently in the mixture. Use the mixture to remove any visible dirt and grime from the berries. This process should also remove any spores that could cause mold. When you're finished, dry the berries completely and then store them. A hot water batch can also kill bacteria that causes mold. This may prolong the shelf life of your berries. Heat some tap water to 125 degrees Fahrenheit.  Dunk the raspberries in the hot water for about 30 seconds. Remove the berries from the water, dry them off, and store them. Make sure you know when to discard your raspberries. You may be able to see mold growing on raspberries. They will also be stained in appearance and collect extra moisture. You should throw out raspberries once they have gone bad.

Article in English: Mold can end up anywhere in your child’s sippy cup, but there are a few places it is more prone to grow. Straw valves are prone to mold since moisture and food can get stuck in them.  Travel valves also can grow mold. Since they slide over cup holes, they can pick up food or moisture that may cause mold. Any edge that is hard to clean or dry can grow mold. This is why it’s so important to take the sippy cup apart to clean. After your child is finished with the sippy cup, wash it immediately. Leaving liquids in the cup encourages the growth of mold. After your child is done with her drink, take it from her and go wash it. You may want to have multiple sippy cups to use while the other is being washed. The first thing to do to properly clean a sippy cup is to take it completely apart. This includes removing tops, straws, spouts, rubber rings, coverings, openings, or anything else that is removable. Food, moisture, and therefore mold can end up between the different parts.  If the sippy cup has a stopper that doesn’t detach, make sure the stopper is open before you wash it.  To properly disassemble your sippy cup, make sure to refer to the manufacturer’s instructions included with the cup. Due to the problem with mold in sippy cups, many companies also now have videos online that show parents exactly how to properly remove all the cup parts. When you have disassembled your cup, you can wash it in hot water. You can either do this by placing it on the top shelf of your dishwasher or by washing it by hand. When you wash each part, use a small brush to get into the hard to reach places, like inside the straw. You can also use a toothpick to clean inside valves. Pre-rinse parts of the cup that liquid or food may get into, like straws, valves, or other parts that may touch your child’s mouth. Pre-rinsing helps remove food or other particles.  Many valves will open if you pinch them with your fingers. Some sippy cup valves come with their own cleaning instructions, like the Tommee Tippee anti-leak valve. Read the...

Article in English: Mold is just one of the many types of fungi that humans are in contact with every day. Molds are scientifically defined as multicellular organisms of the kingdom fungi (a taxonomic order at the same level as plants or animals). The single mold organism, made up of genetically identical cells, is known as a mycelium. Most people recognize mold as the furry or discolored patch on a slice of bread or a piece of fruit, but not all molds are undesirable. Some molds aid in the preservation of foods—as is the case with some cheeses. Others (penicillin) have provided life-saving antibiotics to human beings. Molds and other fungi also play a vital role in the process of decomposition. They break down the structures of plant and animal cells and allow the nutrients they contain to re-enter the food web. Molds are living things, and in fact, their cell structures are more like that of animals than plants. Like all living things, molds need water, a food source, and the right environment in order to thrive.  Much like animals, molds (and all fungi) cannot produce food internally. All of the calories and nutrients that they require to function must be obtained from an external source. Molds, as a broad category, are not choosy. Some grow well in starchy foods, others target fruits and vegetables, while others still will sprout from the tiny shreds of organic matter (mostly paper) in moist drywall.  Molds survive best in damp or wet environments. Of course, most living things live close to water, but molds are especially dependent upon it. Unlike both plants and animals, molds employ a process of external digestion. Dry environments make the absorption of nutrients difficult for molds. They will not thrive without access to moisture. Most forms of mold also prefer warm temperatures. There are two primary reasons for this. The enzymes that molds use in both external digestion and internal cell processes function best at temperatures well above the freezing point. In addition, molds are multicellular organisms without...

Article in English: Mold needs moisture to grow. Keep an eye on your wood floors to make sure they are clean and dry. If you have wood floors in places that are prone to moisture, such as bathrooms, basements, or kitchens, make sure you clean up any surface moisture as soon as possible. Warm environments also encourage mold growth. Wood floors in any places that get warm, such as bathrooms or kitchens, need to be aired out to avoid mold growth. If your wood floors are clean and dry, then the conditions for mold are less likely to arise. Vacuum and mop your wood floors on a regular basis. While you may not have to clean your wood floors daily, make sure to incorporate it as part of your weekly cleaning routine. When ingrained in wood floors, mold feeds on nutrients on the surface of the wood, but not on the wood itself. Keep your wood floors dry and clean to make sure mold does not have a food source. Mold grows best in humid environments. Consider buying a dehumidifier to keep a consistent level. Indoor humidity should be at about 50% to avoid most molds. Clean spilled water as soon as possible. Don’t let any water sit on your wood floor as that could lead to mold growth. When it’s colder outside, we tend to keep our homes warmer, which creates warm air that does not escape. Additionally, plants are more likely to die in the fall and winter, which creates more opportunity for mold to grow. Airing out your house will allow this warm air to escape and will clear out any mold spores that have begun to grow. Make sure your air conditioner is in working order and not creating excess moisture. An overused air condition can create additional condensation, which will create a favorable environment for mold to grow in.

Article in English: Mold often has a fuzzy appearance but can also look like a stain if it's growing on a wall or furniture. Its most common colors are black green, brown, or white. Mold can feel like cotton, leather, velvet, or sand paper. It usually gives off a musty or earthy odor. Also look for visible signs of possible water damage such as stains or paint bubbling. This could mean there is mold growth within the wall cavity. This should be the first place you look. Its underground location makes it especially vulnerable to moisture and humidity buildup. After each heavy rain, look for and immediately treat any water seepage. Check the following spots:  Baseboards Walls, especially where they meet the ceiling Behind and under appliances, especially the washer and dryer Look in and around the clothes dryer duct for mold growth. If it's not properly ventilated, it can trigger a build-up in humidity in the room. Make sure the duct is vented toward the exterior of the house. Darkness and moisture create ideal conditions for the spread of mold. You should check:  Under sinks, especially if they sit on top of cabinets Closets, especially if they don't receive proper ventilation. If your house isn't properly insulated, windows could accumulate condensation year-round. Look for mold growth around each individual pane and along the frames. Inspect the baseboards in the basement and first/ground floor if your house recently flooded. Tear out all carpeting in these areas. If you recently experienced heavy rain, look for water stains in the attic and on the upper-story living areas. If a pipe recently burst, treat all water-damaged areas as if they had been flooded. Dirt and grime that washes off your body has a tendency to mix with shampoo and soap residue. This mixture ultimately collects on shower curtains. Make sure the bathroom is well lit.

Article in English: Mold or dark-colored spots on the outside of the watermelon could indicate that it has gone bad.  The mold might be black, white, or green, and have a fuzzy appearance. The watermelon should have either a consistent pine green shade or a striped appearance.  Striped watermelons have alternating lime-green and darker pine-colored stripes. These colors indicate the watermelon is healthy.  If your watermelon is a different color (black, for instance), do not eat it. Different varieties of watermelon have different internal appearances.  Desert King, Tendergold, Yellow Baby, and Yellow Doll watermelons have yellow or orange flesh. When watermelon is no longer good, the crisp flesh will start to shrivel.  The flesh might even be pulling away from the seeds.  In other cases, the watermelon might become slimy and mushy. A healthy, edible watermelon should smell sweet and fresh.  If it smells tangy or sour, it’s gone bad and should be thrown it away.

Article in English: Molding and slumping are the two main techniques used in glass melting. Generally, molding is where you melt your glass in a kiln and allow it to fill a mold, giving the glass a new shape. Slumping is where you allow the glass to collapse inward on itself to create a unique, freeform shape that might make a suitable table centerpiece or paperweight, among other things. You can also choose a hybrid of these two techniques. Glass slump molds are available at some art/ceramics stores and online. Using these, you can slump your glass into the approximate shape of a mold. This is great for making spoon holders, shallow bowls, and vases. A firing profile divides the heating and cooling process of your kiln into segments. Each segment requires that you change the in-kiln temperature at a certain rate, holding the temperature at certain benchmarks. The firing profile you use will influence the finished product of your glass art and will depend on the kind of glass you use.  Different kinds of glass are made by different chemical processes. Some kinds of glass will react better to one firing profile better than another, so you may have to experiment before you find the best profile for your glass melting.  Many firing profiles are available free online, though some may have come with the manual of your kiln. In some cases, the firing profile recommended by your kiln manufacturer might not produce good results. In this case, you'll have to tweak your profile. Now that your bottles and kiln are clean, your kiln inspected and tested, and your surfaces covered to prevent glass from fusing, you're almost ready to melt your glass. But first, you should position your bottle stably in a central position in your kiln. If you are using a mold, it should surround your bottle or be positioned in a way that your bottle fills the mold as it melts. The best positioning will depend entirely on the kind of kiln you are using. The first segment of your heating is intended to warm the bottle and should not exceed a rate of 500°F...

Article in English: Molding comes in different heights and styles, so shop around and find your favorite design. The angle at which the molding will sit against the wall varies, normally between 38º and 52º, so be sure to measure it before you begin cutting.  This guide uses 45º as a default angle; although this angle is always the proper choice for scarfing, it may need to be adjusted slightly for other cuts.     Since crown molding is generally made of wood, it is prudent to let it sit in the home environment for a few days before installing it. The wood will expand or contract based on the temperature and humidity in the house; it is better to let it adjust before nailing it in so that it will not crack and warp after the fact.    Because the molding will sit against your wall at an angle, each joint (that is, each place where two strips of crown molding meet) will be a compound angle. The molding will need to be mitered to achieve the angle, and beveled to fit snugly against each adjacent piece. Achieving this using 2 separate cuts is very difficult, so this guide will teach you how to cut both of these angles using a single cut. For this, you need a guide fence, which is a piece of plywood glued to your saw table that helps you position the molding in exactly the same place for each piece.  Place a piece of molding upside-down on the miter saw table. The side of the molding that will contact the ceiling should be against the saw table, and the side that will contact the wall should be against the saw's vertical fence. Make sure that the decorative side is facing you, and hold the molding at the same angle at which you will install it. Secure the molding with clamps to the vertical fence.     Get a piece of plywood or dimension lumber that is just as long as your saw table. Apply hot glue to the saw table on both sides, and place the plywood against the glue, pressing it snugly against the molding. When the glue is set, remove the crown molding and use the miter saw to cut away the center portion of the plywood fence at 45º...

Article in English: Moles are water creatures, and they particularly love to move into lawns that are well-watered. Damp lawns have more worms, which moles eat, and wet soil is easier for the moles to move through. If you have your sprinkler on day in and day out, you're creating the ideal habitat for moles. Try watering it once a week to make it less hospitable for the furry creatures. Who says your yard has to be filled with grass? Grass needs to be watered consistently, and earthworms love burrowing beneath it, so grassy lawns typically draw a lot of moles. If you replace your grass with cacti, moss, or another low-water groundcover, you'll save on water bills and make your yard less appealing to moles.  Choose plants native to your area that don't require a lot of watering. You can also plant trees and surround them with gravel, dirt, or appropriate groundcover. This is a time-consuming method for getting rid of moles, but many say it really works. Every day, go outside and tamp down the hills with your feet. You can also use a lawn roller to do the same job. Moles will push the hills back up every time you do this for the first few weeks. Eventually, though, you'll tire them out and they'll start digging their tunnels deeper and stop pushing up your grass. Poisons, human hair, fumigation, and sound wave machines have not been proven to effectively get rid of moles. Don't waste the time and money required to try to implement these methods, among the many others that frustrated gardeners have attempted. Moles aerate yards and eat a lot of insects, making your yard healthier in the long run. If you can stand looking at the tiny volcanoes erupting across your lawn, consider coexisting instead of trying to kill the mole. Moles only live for about 3 years, so eventually the problem will take care of itself.

Article in English: Moment of inertia is the resistance of a body to rotational motion. Moment of inertia is dependent on both the mass and how the mass is distributed.  To clearly understand this, imagine two cylinders of the same diameter but different masses. Imagine that you need to rotate the two cylinders at their centers. Obviously, the cylinder with a greater mass will be harder to rotate than the other cylinder, since it is “heavier”. Now, imagine two cylinders with different diameters but the same masses. To still appear cylindrical with the same mass, but at the same time accommodate different diameters, the shapes, or mass distributions, of both cylinders will differ from each other. The cylinder with a larger diameter will look like a flat, circular plate while the smaller diameter cylinder will look like a solid tissue tube. The cylinder with a larger diameter will be harder to rotate because you need a larger force to account for the longer moment arm. There are several equations available to solve for the moment of inertia.  First is the simple equation: or the summation of the mass and the moment arms of each particle.  This equation is used for points or ideal particles. A point particle is an object that has mass, but does not take up space. In other words, the only relevant characteristic of the object is its mass; you do not need to know its size, shape or structure. The concept of a point particle is commonly used in physics to simplify calculations and use ideal and theoretical scenarios. Now, imagine objects such as a hollow cylinder or a solid uniform sphere. These objects have a clear and definite shape, size, and structure. Therefore, you cannot regard them as a point particle. Thankfully, you can use available equations that apply to some of these common objects: To begin finding torque, you need to solve for the moment of inertia. Use the following example problem to follow along:  Two small “weights” of mass 5.0 kg and 7.0 kg are mounted 4.0 m apart on a light rod (whose mass can be neglected). The...

Article in English: Momos are usually served with a spicy tomato sauce.  If you’d like to enjoy your momos the traditional way, wash and/or peel your fresh ingredients. This can be done by either putting them over an open flame or by cutting them in half and putting them under a broiler until the skin blackens and splits.  If using your broiler, make sure the top rack of your oven is about three to four inches away from the heat source.  Set your oven to broil and on the highest setting.  Place the vegetables on a non-stick surface, in either a flat baking dish or on a cookie sheet. Once in the oven, watch them closely as they broil.  If you don’t cut them half, you’ll have to turn them as the skin blackens.  Once the skin blackens and splits on all sides, they’re done. Take them out of the oven carefully.  Let them cool a bit, and then peel away the blackened skin. It should turn into the consistency of a paste.  If the sauce is too thick, add water to thin it out to your desired consistency. Pour the finished sauce into a bowl or container, and let sit in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve your momos.

Article in English: Money market accounts are savings accounts that typically require a higher minimum balance, but pay a much higher interest rate. Often, this rate is in line with the current market interest rates.  Your money is typically fairly accessible, although the bank may place limits on how much you can withdraw and how often. A money market account shouldn't be used for your emergency fund. If you have an existing relationship with a bank, that may be a good place to open a money market account. However, you might also want to shop around for the best interest rate and minimum deposit requirements that meet your needs and your budget. Many credit card companies, such as Capital One and Discover, also offer money market accounts that you can start online. A CD holds a set amount of your money for a set period of time. During that period of time, you can't access your money. At the end of the time period, you get your money back plus interest.  CDs are considered one of the safest options for saving and investing. The longer the term of the CD, the higher the interest rate typically will be. All FDIC-insured banks offer CDs with different terms and minimum deposits, so you can easily find one that suits your needs. Some online banks, such as Ally, offer CDs with no minimum deposit requirement.  When you open a CD account, read your disclosure statement carefully. Make sure you understand the interest rate, whether it is fixed or variable, and when the bank pays interest. Check the maturity date, and evaluate any penalties for early withdrawal. As a beginning investor, you don't need a broker to start investing in the stock market. You can use a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) or direct stock purchase plan (DSPP) to bypass broker fees and commissions and purchase stock directly from the company.  As a beginner, you can start investing small amounts, even as little as $20 or $30 a month, using these direct plans. There is a list of companies that offer direct investing with no fees at...

Article in English: Monitor the amount of water your dog drinks daily.  If you notice any big changes in this amount, take note.  Drinking too much or too little can indicate a problem that requires veterinary attention.  Rule out everyday reasons such as strenuous play or a hot day. If you notice your dog drinking much more than normal for a consecutive week, see your vet. Changes in appetite, especially those that lead to weight loss or gain, can indicate illness.Unexpected weight loss or gain should always be met with a trip to the vet.  In the short term, loss of appetite for your dog can be a sign of fever, pain, or stress, as well as many other possible reasons. If the loss of appetite is combined with any other noticeable symptoms,  you should see a vet immediately. Vomiting or diarrhea is a reason for concern with your dog. These symptoms can be a sign of anything from swallowing a sharp object to ulcers to parasites.  Single instances of vomiting or diarrhea are not necessarily a cause for concern. Repeated instances,especially lasting more than twenty-four hours,require a vet.  Blood, in either vomit or diarrhea, can be a serious symptom and needs treatment as soon as possible.

Article in English: Monitor what you do on a daily basis and make a note of how much time you spend doing it. You might be surprised by how much time you actually waste throughout the day when compared to the actual amount of work you get done. Remember to also keep track of mundane tasks, like making breakfast, cleaning the house, showering, etc. Once you have figured out what you do each day and how much time you spend doing it, write it into a notebook. Putting all of this information into one place and seeing it on one page will allow you to identify patterns and, potentially, areas where you may be wasting your time.  Be comprehensive and clear when making entries into this notebook. Don't conflate separate events into one entry, don't overlook minor tasks, and be sure to write out exact times when assessing how your day breaks down. It can be helpful to categorize certain types of activities. For example, write household chores in blue, work activities in red and leisure activities in black. This will help you visualize how your time is being spent. An hour a day spent zoning out? 2 hours to decide where to eat? 8 hours surfing the internet? Look for patterns in how you spend your time and determine what is necessary and what it is not.  Do you waste time because you lack self-control? Do you procrastinate too often? Do you take on too much responsibility? These are all questions you need to ask yourself while assessing how you spend your time.  You may find that you break up activities throughout your day in ways that don't make sense. For example, it is probably not wise to work for a half hour, then spend 10 minutes dealing with trivial matters, just to come back to work for another half hour. You will be more focused and productive if you just work for an hour and deal with trivial matters at a later time. It is best to attack your tasks by "chunking". Chunking is a method in which you dedicate a predetermined amount of time to a single task without distractions. Now that you know exactly where and to what your time...

Article in English: Monitoring moon phases is not as accurate of a way to keep time as making a sundial or measuring by the North Star. Based on the current lunar phase, the moon will only be visible in the night sky for a certain amount of time and it will be easiest to see when it is full or almost full. For example, during a full moon, the moon will be visible in the sky all night (for approximately 12 hours). The moon will be harder to spot throughout the night when it is not full. Knowing when the sun set will give you a baseline time to start tracking the time with the moon since the moon rises about 1 hour after the sun sets. If you can, look up the time that the sun set before you observe the moon’s position and add 1 hour to this time to create a baseline time. For example, if the sun set at 6:30 pm, and the moon is just now visible on the horizon, then it is approximately 7:30 pm. You can use the moon to tell time by dividing the sky into quarters and noting the moon’s position in the sky. Find the middle of the sky, and then divide these 2 halves in half to divide the sky into quarters going from east to west. This won’t give you an accurate time, but you can get a good estimate. Look at the moon's position in the sky in relation to where it rose.  For example, if the moon is ¼ of the way across the sky from where it rose, then it is about 3 hours past sundown. If the moon is halfway across the sky, then it is approximately 6 hours past sundown. If the moon is ¾ of the way across the sky, then it is 9 hours past sundown. The location of the moon in the sky along with the time the sun set, will allow you to calculate an approximate time. Once you have noted these details, add the number of hours for the position of the moon to the time of sunset.  For example, if the sun set at 7:00 pm, and the moon in halfway across the sky, then the approximate time is 1:00 am. If the sun set at 6:15 pm, and the moon is ¾ of the way across the sky, then the approximate time is 3:15 am.

Article in English: Monitoring your dog’s health rests in part with making regular visits to the veterinarian. For dogs under the age of 7 years, visit your vet every year. The vet will check for signs of illness, keep them up to date on vaccines, and will treat your dog for parasites and worms. Dogs that are over the age of 7 years should visit the vet every 6 months. The vet will check for signs of illness, keep them up to date on vaccines, and will treat for parasites and worms. Responsible dog owners get their pets vaccinated regularly, wormed, and treated for parasites such as fleas.  Vaccination is essential even if you carry your toy poodle everywhere, or he rarely goes outside. This is because some infections such as parvovirus are caused by particularly hardy viruses that can attach to your shoes. Therefore, they can still pose a risk to even the most pampered of poodles. Talk with your vet about implanting a microchip in your dog. A microchip will help you track the dog if he gets lost. One of the health problems that toy poodles are prone to in later life is diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes). The hormones associated with estrous (heat) in the female can trigger diabetes. Therefore, it is wise to get your female toy poodle spayed.  If spaying is done before the female’s second heat, this also has a beneficial effect in vastly reducing her risk of developing mammary cancer in later life. Toy poodles often live into their teens. Each time a bitch has a season, it weakens the lining of her womb and makes her more likely to develop a pyometra, which is a potentially life-threatening womb infection. Thus, spaying whilst she is fit and strong removes the possibility of needing emergency surgery in later life when anesthesia can pose a higher risk.  Neutering a male toy poodle does not give the same compelling health benefits. Neutering a male is mainly done to prevent unwanted breeding and to control behavioral issues such as aggression or dominance. Talk with your vet to learn more.

Article in English: Monthly cleaning is needed to prevent the build-up of dirt and grime on cubic zirconia. If you're consistent with monthly cleaning, this reduces the likelihood the jewelry will build up dirt to the point professional cleaning is required. If you wear cubic zirconia on your hands, avoid using lotion or things like essential oils. Cubic zirconia is sensitive to such substances and can easily be damaged. If you do use lotion or oils, keep it away from any cubic zirconia you're wearing. Bleach, chlorine, and ammonia should not be used on cubic zirconia. Do not use any chemical cleaners to remove harsh stains, as this can easily damage your jewelry. Cubic zirconia should be stored in an airtight container to prevent wear and tear. Any time you're not wearing cubic zirconia, store it promptly and in a safe container.

Article in English: Mood changes could take many forms.  Any shift away from your normal level of anxiety, anger, restlessness, or irritability could be a sign of low blood sugar.  If you feel a sudden change in your mood without an easily identifiable cause, it could be due to low blood sugar. If you or the person you’re evaluating for low blood sugar is normally irritable, anxious, and short-tempered, looking for changes in their mood will not be an ineffective mode of identifying low blood sugar warning signs. Cognitive difficulties refer to a suite of mental problems, including confusion, attention problems, and a general inability to think clearly.  If you or someone you’re evaluating demonstrates difficulty staying mentally focused in a sustained way, they might have low blood sugar. These headaches could occur in your temples, on top of your head, or at the back of your head.  When related to low blood sugar, they might be accompanied by dizziness or blurred vision. If you have nocturnal hypoglycemia — that is, low blood sugar while sleeping — you might experience headaches in the morning when you wake. A feeling of fatigue and tiredness often accompanies low blood sugar.  If you need to lie down, sit down, or relax due to low energy levels, you might have low blood sugar. Nocturnal hypoglycemia is also often accompanied by waking up tired, rather than refreshed, as you should after getting a full night’s rest. As your blood sugar level crashes, you will lose the ability to control your motor functions.  Speech will become slurred and you might become clumsy and stagger about, unable to walk properly.

Article in English: Mood rings are accessories that have a thermochromic element that changes color based on temperature. The color of the ring supposedly suggested the mood of the wearer. Select a mood ring in a style you like, such as a large circle, butterfly, or dolphin shape.  While these are mainly popular with girls, mood rings are a unisex accessory. The mood ring was invented in the 1970s, but it did not get widely popular until the early 90s. A slap bracelet consists of a flexible piece of steel covered in fabric, silicone, or plastic. To wear, lightly slap the band on your wrist, and the metal effortlessly coils around your hand. Pair these with your tube tops and leggings, for instance. Slap bracelets came in many colors, patterns, and textures, such as animal print, zig-zags, and polka dots. Small, silver hoop earrings grew popular due to many television actors wearing them. You can wear 1 hoop in each ear, for instance. If you have multiple ear piercings, wear a larger pair in the first hole and a smaller pair in the second. You can also opt for gold or black hoops. Before the 90s, body piercings were not very popular. The grunge scene helped spread the piercing trend, and soon many teens rocked a pierced nose, eyebrow, lips, and nipples. If you want an authentic 90s look, consider getting a piercing. Keep in mind that piercings are semi-permanent. 90s hip hop encouraged many people to wear snapback hats. Pick a hat with your favorite sports team or band logo, and put it on after you finish getting dressed. For a true 90s style, turn the brim of the hat around so it faces your back.  Snapbacks are known by their large, flat brim. They also have an adjustable strap consisting of 2 pieces of plastic. You can wear a snapback with your Coogi sweater and baggy jeans for a hip-hop look. Studs were all the rage in the 90s grunge scene, and many people wore studded belts with band shirts and flannels. In addition, studded belts were very popular with baggy jeans. Pick a belt with silver, red, blue, or pink studs, for...

Article in English: Mood swings are often associated with persistent expectations for bad things to happen or, in other words, negative thinking. For example, you might be waiting to hear back from a job and assume you didn't get it after only a day has passed. Or maybe your mother has informed you that she has something to tell you and you immediately assume that she's deathly ill. Not only is this kind of negative thinking often inaccurate, but it can also dramatically affect your mood and lead you to feel very angry and upset, typically for little to no "real" reason. There are two different tricks you can try for dealing with such unhealthy automatic thinking:  Take a step back and relax. Instead of assuming the worst that can happen, think about all of the other possible scenarios. This will help you realize that the worst is not likely to happen and that there's no point in getting all upset until you know more information. Alternately, you could consider the worst possible scenario and prepare for it, just in case. By ensuring that you are well prepared for even the worst case scenario you can imagine, you might be able to focus your attention on something else instead of dwelling on the unpredictable consequences that could result from it. Overgeneralizing is another way that you may lead yourself into a bad mood. Maybe you had a bad interaction on a date or with a co-worker. So what? You may think this means that you'll never find love or that you're going to be fired, but you shouldn't let this one situation or conversation make you feel like it's indicative or determinant of other trends in your life. This kind of generalizing is bound to make you moody and upset, but there is a way to counteract it. Remind yourself that what happened was an isolated incident. Instead of assuming one incident (such as a disagreement with a coworker or date) is reflective of your entire relationship with this person, consider it as a one-off and something that doesn't happen very often. Remind yourself of all of the success you have...

If bleach will ruin your floor or counters, spray the floor or counters with 3% hydrogen peroxide. After mopping and wiping the counters, spray pure white vinegar on the hydrogen peroxide and wipe the floors and counters clean. Next, soak your mop in commercial disinfectant or the 10% chlorine bleach solution and rinse it in hot water. Immediately dispose of all paper towels you used to wipe surfaces and dispose of your plastic or latex gloves. Alternatively, wash your gloves thoroughly with soap and hot water. Steam clean or shampoo any furniture that had droppings on it. Put any clothing you wore to clean the rat droppings in a washing machine and clean them with laundry detergent and hot water. Put the shoes you wore to clean the droppings in the washing machine with your clothes. Hand wash clothing or shoes that can’t go in the washing machine. Use hot water and laundry detergent to clean them. Use hot water and a disinfecting hand soap to clean your hands. Scrub them thoroughly, including under your nails and around your wrists. Don’t rely on alcohol-based hand sanitizer to clean your hands.

Article in English: More activity burns more calories. An active cat will lose weight much more effectively than a cat that never gets any exercise. In addition to the extra calories burnt, exercise for your cat will also reduce her appetite and increase her metabolic rate—which can counter the slowed metabolism related to reduced-calorie diets.  Engage in a game of chase by projecting a laser pointer on the ground and having your cat chase it. You can also use toys attached to string to play with your cat and get her burning calories. If you have trouble getting a lazy cat up and running, then try a catnip toy. Water is important in keeping your cat active as well as aiding metabolic function. As with people, drinking fluid can also assist in making your cat feel fuller while on a restricted diet. Ensure that you keep her water dish consistently clean and full. Like people, cats can eat out of boredom. Many cat owners make the mistake of providing attention mostly in the form of providing food and treats. Instead, spend more time playing with your cat and brushing her to cut down on potential boredom. Do not place all of your cat’s food for the day—whether a diet formula or otherwise—out at one time for your cat to eat freely throughout the day. Cat’s do better with controlled portions provided at intervals, so you should divide your cat’s meals into two or three servings a day. You should cut back heavily on the amount of treats you’re giving your cat since these amount to empty calories. Instead, use play, grooming, and other attention as positive reinforcement. Another behavioral strategy you can try is to get your cat to mimic hunting behavior. A feral cat living off mice makes a kill three to four times a day, and is used to having several small snacks throughout the day. To mimic hunting behavior, fill several small food bowls and hide them around the house. This will force your cat to go ‘hunting’ and exert some energy to try to find her food bowls.  This faux hunting helps to engage your cat both physically and...

Article in English: More children suffer from OCD than most people realize. According to the director of the Children's Center for OCD and Anxiety in Philadelphia, more than a million children in the US have OCD. That means, 1 in 100 children in America have OCD.  Unlike adults who can recognize they have OCD, children do not understand that they have OCD. Instead, children may view their repetitive thoughts or actions as shameful and feel like they are going crazy. This makes many children too embarrassed to tell an adult of their problems. The average age that OCD manifests is 10.2  OCD seems to appear equally in boys and girls. One part of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a tendency to obsess. Obsessions are persistent or repetitive thoughts, images, ideas, or impulses that rise repeatedly into a person’s consciousness. The child cannot shake the thoughts, which become increasingly realistic to him. The unwanted thoughts can be frightening and if unresolved, they can leave your child anxious and distracted, making them appear mentally unbalanced.  These thoughts can cause a lot of doubt. These thoughts can tell the child something bad is going to happen to someone they care about. The second part of OCD is a tendency toward compulsive behavior. Compulsions are excessively repetitive and rigid behaviors or actions that are performed to reduce anxiety, ward off bad thoughts, or banish something dreaded. The child can do these actions mentally or physically. The actions are often in response to obsessions to help lessen the fear and can seem like strong habits.  In general, compulsions are easier to spot – you don’t necessarily know what your child is thinking, but if you pay attention, you’ll be able to observe compulsive behavior. Some parents believe the symptoms of OCD are just a phase. They also believe their children are acting out to get attention. If your child has OCD, this is not the case. OCD is a neurological disorder. It is not your fault that the child has OCD, so do not blame yourself. Children with OCD may have...

Article in English: More often than not constipation occurs when somebody is not eating right, not drinking enough water, or not exercising enough. As far as your diet is concerned, the thing to do to tackle constipation is to add more fiber, which helps digest food and increase intestinal motility. You should try to eat at least 18-30g of fiber each day. High-fiber foods include fresh fruit, vegetables and cereals. Some good ways.  According to the Institute of Medicine, the recommended daily allowance of total fiber in adults is 38 grams and 25 grams for men and women, respectively.  Pregnant and lactating women should receive 28 grams a day.  A higher intake of fiber will not produce harmful effects in healthy adults.  Eat a high-fiber breakfast cereal. Choose wholegrain or granary breads. Add pulses such as beans, lentils or chickpeas to stews and salads. Have some fresh or dried fruit for dessert. Choose a fruit smoothie at breakfast, a salad at lunch and leafy vegetables like broccoli, spinach or sweet potatoes at dinner. Or in the morning have warm water with lemon juice and carrots on the side.  If you are often constipated, then try adding prunes as a regular snack in your diet. Prunes increase fiber in your diet and they often work to speed up digestion. One clinical trial found that 70 percent of people find relief from constipation with prunes. If you are struggling to get enough fiber into your daily diet, you could always opt for a fiber supplement. These supplements are available at your local drugstore and supermarket. They can be a good short-term measure, but try to incorporate fiber from fresh food into your diet in the longer-term. Make sure you are consuming at least 64 oz. (1.9 L) of water per day. Dehydration can contribute to constipation, as if there isn't enough fluid in your gut, your digestion will slow down and stools become bulky and painful.  Warm liquids, like tea and coffee, may also improve your regularity. Drink them in the morning to heat up your intestines.  Don't drink too much caffeine, or...

Article in English: More often then not, your teenage daughter is going to want to spend less and less time with you. Don't get upset about this, it's natural and nothing personal in most cases. Your daughter is wanting more independence and subconsciously  wants to prove her adulthood to those around her. She may shut her door instead of leaving it open like she used to, or she may have private phone conversations in a hidden corner of the house. The important thing is not to threaten her privacy or try to barge in unexpectedly, or she may pull away even more.  Though you may desperately want to know what's going on in your daughter's life, saying things like, "What were you talking about with your friend?" or "What were you doing alone in your room for so many hours?" will actually make her distance herself even more. If she wants to share something with you, she will. If she storms into the house, or just looks very upset and runs up to her room, you can say something like, "I know you're upset right now and you probably don't want to talk about it. But if you want to talk about it later, I'm always here for you." This will reassure your daughter without pressing her to talk when she's not ready. When your daughter is down, ask her what's up. If she doesn't want to tell you, then it's fair enough, but be her shoulder to cry on. Have good advice at hand to help her out. Let her know that your door is always open, and remind her that hey, you were a teenager once and you managed to survive. Sometimes she may not want to talk and will just need a shoulder to cry on. Be there for her then, too, without forcing her to tell you what's up.  If your daughter is down, eat some ice cream and watch TV with her. Be there as a comforting parent and friend. If she needs your support for something in school, be there for her, whether you're watching her tennis match or her debate tournament. It sounds very cheesy, and she may act like she hates it, but you never know what's going on inside her. It could be the one thing that keeps her...

Article in English: More specifically, draw the outline of a sword. Use rulers to make it reasonably straight, and be as creative with the design as you want. It doesn't have to be perfect. This will be the master stencil for your sword. To make a long sword using this method, you'll need longer paper. Consider using a length of butcher paper, or buy oversized sheets of craft paper from a craft store. Carefully cut the sword stencil out of the paper, and then lay it down on the wood you plan to use, which should be a fairly thin (no more than 1” thick) board of whichever wood you like. Copy the stencil onto the wood, and then copy the hilt (the handle and crosspiece) of the stencil twice more. The hilt will be thicker than the blade, so you'll cut three pieces of wood for it and glue them together. Using a jigsaw, cut out the three pieces of wood you've outlined – two hilt pieces and one full sword design. The cuts will probably be fairly rough; that's fine. Be sure to cut a little wide rather than a little narrow: wide can be sanded down, but narrow can't be fixed so easily. The next step is to take a strong epoxy wood glue and mix it to activate it. Mix it on a piece of paper for easy cleanup. Once the mixture is active, spread it evenly on one side of each hilt piece and glue them firmly to the center piece, one on each side.  Once the pieces are glued, wait for the epoxy to dry fully, at least 10 minutes. Get the pieces as evenly lined up as you can, but don't worry if they aren't perfect yet. Start with the hilt area. Use fine-grit sandpaper to sand down rough edges and even up all three parts. You can use a rotary tool to expedite the process, if you want. Once the hilt is even, use your sandpaper to bevel each side of the blade, making it “sharp.” Check to be sure your sword's hilt isn't too thick to hold easily; if it is, sand in from each side to make it more slender. Lay your sword on a graph-lined surface and check to be sure both sides of the crosspiece are even, and the blade is reasonably even on both sides. Sand...

Article in English: More than eighty percent of people need corrective eyewear but many are wearing the wrong fit or prescription, increasing eyestrain and putting them at risk for more serious eye problems. Choose sunglasses that screen out 75 – 95% of visible light and block out 99 – 100% of UV-A and UV-B rays. Ultraviolet rays from the sun can cause vision to deteriorate and lead to damage to the cornea, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, and growths on the eye surface and surrounding skin. Using a humidifier can help keep air moist and prevent dry eyes.   Avoid going outside when air quality indexes are poor or the pollen count is reported to be high. If you have pets, make sure to vacuum and clean furniture regularly; pet dander can be an eye irritant. Often, prolonged viewing of screens can cause Digital Eye Strain or Computer Vision syndrome. To help alleviate this condition, try the 20-20-20 rule; take a 20-second break to view something 20 feet away every 20 minutes.  Symptoms of Digital Eye Strain include headaches, blurred vision, dry eyes, neck and shoulder pain, and eye pain.  Consider using computer viewing glasses or a screen glare filter when using digital devices. These decrease the amount of light a screen emits, and can clip directly onto a monitor or tablet. Smoking increases the risks for developing cataracts and age-related macular degeneration, as well as cardiovascular diseases that affect the eyes. People with diabetes are 40% more likely to develop glaucoma and 60% more likely to develop cataracts. . Foods like carrots, fish, and leafy greens have been shown to improve vision and lower the risk for developing cataracts.  Try adding spinach, strawberries, kale, eggs, salmon, olive oil, and nuts to your diet to improve eye health. These foods are rich in antioxidants, lutein, vitamin C, zinc, and vitamin E, and may help reduce the risk of developing macular degeneration and other serious eye problems. Drink green tea. It contains catechins, a type of antioxidant that they eye tissues can absorb...

Article in English: More times than not, it is best to leave a baby bird alone. Even if you do not see its parents around, chances are that the parents are not far off and will return to the nest (or ground) to feed it. However, if you see evidence of physical trauma (e.g., broken beak, missing or injured feet, puncture wounds), you should transport the baby bird to a veterinarian or wildlife rehabilitation center.  The baby bird will also need your help if it is sick (e.g., cold to the touch, weak). For a nestling, you may need to take the baby bird for further care if the parents have not returned in an hour. Keep in mind, though, that the parents may not approach the nest if you are too close. Stay at least 100 feet (about 30 meters) from the nest. A nest with dead baby birds is abandoned. Any surviving baby birds will need help. This cannot be emphasized enough! Unless you are a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, it is illegal to hand raise wild animals in captivity. In addition to being unlawful, hand raising a wild baby bird is extremely time intensive—nestlings need to be fed every 15 to 20 minutes. Even with the best of intentions, it is unlikely that you will do a better job of raising a baby bird than its parents or a wildlife rehabilitator. If you choose to take the baby bird to a veterinarian, find one that specializes in birds and wildlife. If you do not know the wildlife veterinarians in your area, your local zoo or ASPCA can give you recommendations. Search for the nearest wildlife rehabilitation center, both within the United States and internationally, by using a directory, such as the one at http://wildliferehabinfo.org/. To transport the baby bird safely, gently place it in either a cardboard box or shoebox with holes cut out for adequate ventilation. Place a towel in the box's bottom so the baby bird does not slide around in the box. To minimize the chances of you getting injured while picking up the baby bird, wrap it up completely in a towel (including the head and feet).  You could also line the bottom of...

Article in English: Morning glories love sunshine, and will only tolerate very light shade. They should receive as much direct sun as possible, especially while the seedlings are young.  Keep indoor plants near a south-facing window (or a north-facing window if you live in the Southern Hemisphere). The ideal soil temperature for germination is about 68–86ºF (20–30ºC). Young morning glories may fail to sprout or die if the soil dries out. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy, and wait for germination within 5–21 days (but usually within a week). The seedlings are less vulnerable once the first true leaves appear. (The first leaves to appear are called cotyledons, and look noticeably different than the true leaves.) If you started your plants indoors, move them outdoors once the seedlings are well-established and the last frost is past. Morning glories are hardier than most plants, but it's still a good idea to start by moving the container to partial shade. Move the plant to a slightly sunnier location every few days, or back to darker shade if you see wilting or sun scorch. Keep the soil moist during this acclimation period. Once the seedlings are about 6 inches (15cm) tall, provide a stake or trellis for the vine to climb. Alternatively, plant seedlings in a hanging basket and allow the vines to cascade over the edge.

Article in English: Morning sickness can be a difficult aspect of pregnancy, as the associated nausea and vomiting is both unpredictable and unpleasant. However, learning about ways to control it can help pregnant women better manage morning sickness for a more comfortable pregnancy.  Try eating smaller, more frequent snacks. Avoid anywhere there are extremes of odors, such as the butcher's, the perfume counter, the fish market, a smoky room, moldy areas, etc. Keep healthy nibbles with you at all times. A small bag of crackers is easy to carry in your purse, and many women find them to be helpful in minimizing nausea. Some women find it best to eat a piece of toast or similar bland item before getting out of bed in the morning. Keeping a box of saltines or other bland crackers by your bedside can be an easy way for you to have a soothing bite before getting up. Avoid processed foods and stick to healthy sources of food (protein, complex carbohydrates, lots of green and leafy veggies). Go to bed earlier; avoid stress. Ginger, lemon and lavender can help, in tea, aromatherapy or edible forms.

Article in English: Mortar and pestles are usually made in a matching set. The mortar is a small bowl and the pestle is a wand with a curve that's perfectly shaped to grind smoothly against the mortar. The instrument may be made from wood, stone or ceramic, and you'll want to choose your material based on your culinary needs and personal preferences.  Ceramic mortar and pestles are capable of grinding spices very finely, but they're also more fragile than other types.  Wood mortar and pestles are durable, but they're also slightly porous, and subject to stains. It's also possible for the flavor of one spice to stay present in the mortar between uses, tainting the flavor of the next spice you grind. Stone mortar and pestles also grind very finely, but unless they're conditioned properly, fine particles of stone can get ground into the spices. Do you want to crush large amounts of spices, seeds, and nuts, or only small amounts? You will find varying sizes from palm size to bowl size, and it may even be handy to have two different sizes if you have the space and budget for it. If you plan to grind a very large amount of spices, getting a spice grinder may be more suitable for your needs. A mortar and pestle is best for just enough spices to create whatever dish or spice mix you immediately want to use.

Article in English: Mortgaging allows you to raise capital at crucial points in the game. However, keep in mind that it will cost more to lift the mortgages on one of your properties than the total amount raised from mortgaging it in the first place, so don’t bother. Keep in mind the following when mortgaging your property:  Single properties should be mortgaged first. Don't mortgage a property from a group where you own 2 or more properties unless it's absolutely necessary. If you need to raise money, mortgage single properties if it allows you to own a color group of at least three houses per property (or hotels in the Light Blues or Purple group). As you cannot collect rent once a property is mortgaged, try not to mortgage those properties that players land on frequently or get higher-than-average rents from landers. Pay attention to your fellow players' preferences for particular properties and try to use that knowledge to your advantage. Trying to trade for a full line of colored properties is good, as it allows for building expansions. However, you want to avoid trading down for these color sets. For example, while gaining all of the pink properties in a trade may be good, it may not be wise if the trade enables another player to own all of the orange properties. You will likely pay more in rent to the owner of the orange properties.  Before you make a deal, decide whether or not it will be advantageous to you in the future. Always ask yourself, what will this do for me in the long run, and how will this trade help me bankrupt my opponents? A good rule of thumb is to only trade to give yourself a monopoly, or to give yourself more monopoly than your opponent. In Monopoly, unlike in real life, being in jail is not always a bad thing. Early in the game, before you have a monopoly, you should pay the $50 to get out of jail so you can continue purchasing properties. However, later in the game, if most of the properties are owned or if most of the properties between the Jail and Go to Jail spaces are developed, simply roll the...

Article in English: Mosquito larvae are very small, so make sure you purchase a small aquarium net designed to capture tiny aquatic life. Nets designed for brine shrimp will work perfectly. You can also use an eye dropper to capture individual or small groups of eggs or larvae.  Make sure to transfer the larvae or eggs into your aquarium quickly so they don’t die before your fish can eat them. Pouring your water container into your aquarium is not advised, as you may not want to introduce the algae and debris in the mosquito’s water to your tank. Most fish probably will not immediately eat the small egg “boats” but they will attack the “wrigglers” or larvae as they emerge from the eggs. This is the best way to ensure your mosquito larvae don’t grow into full grown pests in your backyard.  It’s okay if your fish eat the egg boats before they hatch. These eggs will usually hatch within 48 hours of being laid, so you may not find them very often. You are much more likely to encounter larvae than unhatched eggs because of how quickly eggs hatch. Mosquito larvae will come to the surface regularly to breath. Larvae will shed their skin as they grow, so you may find empty bits of larvae skin. Fish are unlikely to eat shed skin.  Larvae appear to have antennae which are actually siphon tubes used for breathing. Larvae that enters the pupa stage will look as though they have developed a head and will no longer feed on algae. These can be fed to fish, but should otherwise be washed down the drain as it is the last stage before flying. Even if you have more larvae than you can feed your fish, it’s important that you purge your developing larvae on a weekly basis. Depending on the environment, mosquito eggs can develop into full grown, flying pests in as little as four days or as long as two weeks.  To avoid cultivating a swarm of mosquitoes in your yard, purge any larvae your fish don’t eat by pouring the water down the drain. Pouring your water out in your yard may not prevent the larvae from becoming full grown mosquitoes. Your fish...

Article in English: Mosquitoes are attracted to lights, but if one is already buzzing around the room, there's no point turning them off. Keep a bright spot in your room to lure the mosquito to its doom. Mosquitoes are not attracted to sodium lights, LED lights, and yellow "bug lights." Use these as night lighting to reduce the number of mosquitoes that show up, but not to attract a single mosquito victim. Ready the hose attachment on a larger vacuum. Once you've spotted a mosquito, turn on the vacuum and hunt it down. Once sucked in, the bug should die in the vacuum cleaner bag, but you can always empty the bag outside if you'd like to be sure. If this sounds like too much effort for one mosquito, you can keep reading to remind yourself of more traditional methods. If you continue to follow it with your eyes, or even to walk toward it to scare it into moving away from you and against a wall, then this should only take a minute or two. If the mosquito won't land, try to kill it by clapping both hands together around it as it flies. This may take several tries. A rolled magazine, newspaper, or other old paper are all good options for increasing the force and reach of your swat. A shirt, book or other object will also work, as long as you're prepared to wash or wipe the squashed bug off afterward. Once you've successfully killed the mosquito, cackle maniacally and move on with your day. You can purchase a fly swatter for this purpose, or even an electrified one that only needs to lightly touch the insect to kill it. If the mosquito keeps flying away before your whack lands, it's probably reacting to the rush of air that precedes your strike. Try rapidly moving a clear glass onto the surface the mosquito has landed on instead, trapping it inside. Slide a piece of paper or cardboard between the glass and the surface so you can move the trapped mosquito. Toss it outside, carefully remove the paper and squish it, or just leave the trapped mosquito to suffocate.

Article in English: Mosquitoes use standing water as breeding sites to lay their eggs. On first glace you might think your yard is clear of possible breeding sites, but mosquito pupae and larvae can breed in very small and unsuspecting quantities of standing water (bottle caps). Look around your yard and drain or turn over any objects or areas that may be vessels for stagnant water. These vessels can include things like pet water bowls, saucers underneath plants, puddles near outdoor faucets, old tires, buckets, watering cans, wheel barrows, holes in trees, and depression or divot spots in your property. Consider hiring a professional to fill tree holes and property depressions.  Clear out the gutters around your home as well as nearby street gutters. Any low points where water accumulates can become a breeding site for mosquitoes.  If you have a pool, keep it chlorinated while in use, and drained and covered in the off season.  Tightly tie down tarps covering objects and equipment so as not to leaves folds and depressions where water can settle, and mosquitoes can breed.  If you have saucers underneath your plants, fill the area of the saucer with sand. That way, the plant can still absorb the water, but mosquitoes can’t use the standing water to lay their eggs. BTI (bacillus thuringiensis israelensis) mosquito treatments are small, solid, naturally occurring bacterial larvicides that can be added to standing water unable to be drained, such as retention ponds, ditches, and rain barrels. BTI treatments come in a couple forms: BTI dunks can be added to open water where they float on the surface, and BTI bits can be sprinkled in gutters or wherever water tends to collect. BTI is safe for aquatic plants, animals (including fish), humans, and only kills breeding mosquito larvae. When they aren’t flying around, mosquitoes settle in cool, dark, damp, covered areas. Mow your lawn, keep trees and shrubs trimmed, and clear out any tall grasses or low lying brush. This will expose more of your vegetation to sunlight, which dry out any...

Article in English: Most Aries guys will thrive in a relationship if their partner is active both in and out of the bedroom. Athletic activities are a good way to bond with him, especially if those activities involve some level of challenge.  Engage in a one-on-one race, game of basketball, or similarly competitive game. Keep in mind that Aries men hate routine, so your physical activities should not adhere to a strict schedule. In other words, a daily jog after work might not be the best thing to hold his attention. Mix up the activity and time a little each time. In terms of physical intimacy, the Aries man rarely needs much coaxing. Whether you've reached the bedroom stage or not, you can expect him to put the moves on fast and to heat things up in the blink of any eye. You'll need to keep pace with him if you want to avoid boring him. For your own sake, you might want to stay physically fit. Otherwise, you'll find yourself exhausted well before he wears out. Unfortunately, the Aries man can be a little selfish regarding acts of physical intimacy and quickly takes over. If you want to have any say in the experience, you may need to act unimpressed from time to time. Doing so can trigger his love for a good challenge, and as a result, he may end up paying more attention to you in the pursuit of his conquest. Hint around this his moves just aren't doing anything for you. Once he catches on, he will be eager to figure out what will and likely won't stop trying new approaches until he reaches his goal. As with all other aspects of his life, and Aries man needs variety. If he wants to try something new in the bedroom, let him. If he gets nothing but "the same old thing" with you, he might get bored quickly. If you are uncomfortable with something, though, you need to be straightforward and directly tell him to stop. Once he gets an idea in his head, he will go through with it, even without direct permission. Only direct denial will be enough to put the brakes on things.

Article in English: Most GPS devices can find much more than addresses these days. Try searching "Indian Food," "Post Offices," "Gas," "Rock Climbing Gyms," or whatever else you are interested in and see what pops up. This can be incredibly useful when you are in a new city, or if you just feel like finding the closest burrito shop.  Apps and Internet enabled GPS (like those found on phones) will always have this feature. Many portable GPS devices have a section labeled "Nearby Locations" or "Find Locations" that list businesses within a short radius of your current location. Geocaching is when people hide objects in the world with GPS coordinates. It is a global community that prides itself on sharing and exploration, and can be a great way to see the outdoors. To Geocache, buy a GPS and sign up for one of the many internet-based services and forums. Most modern GPS devices and apps can be turned on while you run or bike, and store the information on your speed, elevation, and distance for later. You will need a specific app like NikeFit, MapMyRun, or AppleHealth to get the most out of this feature. Because smartphones are constantly hooked up to a GPS, you can use them to find lost or stolen phones if you act quickly. Download a tracking app on for your phone and sync it with your computer to always keep tabs on your phone's location.  Use "Find my iPhone," by going to the Find my iPhone Website and inputting your Apple username.

Article in English: Most Holland Lop rabbits are healthy as long as a proper diet is fed to them. However, once a year she needs a veterinarian examination to make sure all is well. This examination will include a tooth check to make sure the teeth are wearing properly. If not, the veterinarian may need to trim them so the mouth or teeth don’t become injured. Your bunny should be neutered if he is a male or spayed if she is a female when he or she is 4 to 6 months of age. This stops unwanted litters if you have two rabbits of the opposite sex, plus stops bad behaviors like aggression or urine spraying. It also eliminates reproductive system cancer and infections. For the most part, rabbits with proper diets are healthy. However, you should be aware of the signs of illness, which include refusing to eat or drink, diarrhea, not pooping for a day, eye or nasal discharge, drooling, swellings, reddened skin, or fur loss anywhere on the body, not hopping or moving like normal or unable to use back legs, dark, red urine, or a fever of more than 105 °F (41 °C).

Article in English: Most Korean spas have gender-specific nude areas, which means you are free to go nude within the confines of specified areas. So, in the male area, men are free to go nude, and it’s the same in the female area.   Within these areas there are saunas, bathing areas and grooming areas. So, you can slowly get accustomed to being nude in the company of others. If you’re still not completely comfortable, use a small towel to partially cover yourself. Typically uniforms are available to wear as well. Come with a friend so that you have someone to talk to, if that makes you feel more comfortable. Some people may prefer to start with just strangers. Give yourself something to do. Bathe yourself or groom yourself while at the spa, and you won’t be totally focused on your nakedness. Also, while you're there, try to get a massage too. It'll help sooth your nakedness, and it will also sooth your back! If you have a significant other or have a supportive friend or family member, get naked around them only if the other person is comfortable with it.  If you’re comfortable around your significant other, then you’ll be more comfortable during sex or other forms of sexual activity. Being naked around a supportive person also helps you gain confidence and set aside any fears. No one is going to gawk at you, point or laugh, which is some people’s greatest fears. Nude massages, for instance, are a way of acclimating yourself to being nude around others. Typically, the parts that are not being massaged are covered up with a towel, so you will have some sense of being covered.

Article in English: Most Libra men can really appreciate beauty and culture, so if you want to make his heart skip a beat for you, invite him to the art museum or give him a book with photographs of beautiful scenery. Showing him that you understand what he loves can be a huge plus in your favor. When you extend an invitation, pick a place that your Libra man will probably enjoy, like an art gallery, arts and crafts fair, or museum. You can appeal to him even more by inviting him out during an active time. For instance, ask him to a special one-day-only exhibit instead of inviting him to the museum during a quiet "off" time. Along with art and culture, Libra men usually have a strong appreciation for the finer things in life. When you invite him to spend time with you, choose impressive locations like trendy cafes or four-star restaurants. When you give him a gift, consider picking out something tasteful from a designer. If you do not have the finances to back Libra's love of luxury, fear not! These men are interested in refinement, but that refinement does not necessarily need to cost you an arm and a leg. Try inviting him to a fancy restaurant for dessert only to save you the cost of a meal, or go somewhere with an elegant atmosphere but a moderate cost. As social creatures, Libra men love freedom and need to feel unconfined in order to be happy. You can dote on him as much as you want when the two of you are together, but avoid smothering him or forcing your way into areas of his life he hasn't invited you to on his own. Keep in mind that Libra is an active guy, so once he takes a liking to you, you'll probably know about it. In the meantime, work on him steadily, and avoid pushing your feelings onto him before he is ready for them. Libra men love to love, and they love being loved on. Little tokens of appreciation can underscore your feelings for him while making you appear more attractive in his eyes. Try giving him a small gift or note for no reason, or offer a massage at the end of a long day or week.  Refined, tasteful...
