Article in English: Because the moral is the center of a fable, it’s often helpful to begin outlining your fable by determining the moral. The moral of a fable should relate to or reflect on a culturally pertinent issue that will resonate with many people.  Some examples of famous fable morals to help inspire you include:  "Like will draw like." "The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful." "Advice prompted by selfishness should not be heeded." "Fine feathers don't make fine birds." "Strangers should avoid those who quarrel among themselves."    For a complete listing of the morals of Aesop's Fables and links to the stories in which they appear, go here. The problem is what will drive the action of the fable, and it will be the primary source for the lesson to be learned.  Because the nature of fable is to convey culturally-relevant lessons and ideas, the central problem works best when it’s something to which many people can relate.  For example, in "The Tortoise and the Hare," we are are quickly introduced to what will be the central problem or conflict of the story when two characters decide to hold a race. Determine who or what the characters in your fable will be and what traits will define them.  Because fables are meant to be simple and concise, don’t aim for complex or multi-faceted characters. Rather, aim to have each character embody a single human trait and keep the characters within those specific limits.  As the characters will be the primary vehicle for the fable’s moral, choose characters that will most clearly relate to that moral. In "The Tortoise and the Hare" the characters are, as the title indicates, a tortoise and a hare. Because a tortoise is easily associated with things that are slow-moving and the hare with things that are swift, the characters already have what will be their key traits in the story built-in. Though the kind of animal or object you choose for your character will have objective traits built-in, as above, you'll also need to craft the subjective qualities attached to those traits....

Article in English: Because the sensations of synesthesia can mimic certain medical conditions and head injuries, it's a good idea to see your doctor to rule out anything serious. They will check the functioning of your brain, reflexes and senses to see if you have any physical problems or deficits. If they believe that it is something serious, they might refer you to a neurologist. Keep in mind that people with synesthesia typically pass all standard neurological exams and are considered normal in that way. If you have a neurological deficit that's causing visual sensations, then you're very unlikely to also have synesthesia.  Head trauma, post-concussion syndrome, brain tumors, brain infections, migraine headaches, seizures with auras, epilepsy, cerebral stroke, toxic reactions, LSD "flashbacks" and experimentation with hallucinogens (peyote, mushrooms) can all produce sensory phenomena similar to synesthesia. Synesthesia is usually present from birth, so developing it as an adult is extremely rare. If it comes on suddenly in adulthood, see your doctor immediately for an assessment because it could be related to a problem with your brain / nervous system. Some visual sensations of synesthesia can also mimic certain eye diseases and conditions, so it's a good idea to see an optometrist or an ophthalmologist to get your eyes examined. Eye trauma, glaucoma (pressure in the eye), cataracts, retinal or vitreous detachment, corneal edema, macular degeneration, and optic nerve dysfunction are all eye conditions that can produce visual phenomena and color distortion.  The vast majority of people with synesthesia do not suffer from any physical ailments of their eyes. An ophthalmologist (eye disease specialists) is likely a better choice than an optometrist, who mainly focuses on determining the acuity of your eyesight and prescribing glasses/contacts. You may encounter some doctors who do not believe that the condition exists. Furthermore, some insurance companies may not cover treatment. You should still visit a doctor to rule out...

Article in English: Because the term "coffee with milk" is so vague, there are a lot of variations on café au lait across the world. The most common difference is between European and American café au lait. Whereas Europeans always steam them milk with an espresso machine, American café au lait has milk scalded in a saucepan.   Lattés are made with 2-3 shots of espresso and warmed milk, not brewed coffee.  Cappuccinos are like latte's, except the majority of milk has been foamed, not just warmed.  Macchiatos are shots of espresso with a dollop of foamed milk on top. While café au lait is supposed to be light on foam, a thin topping is often used to make the cup look good and provide a little dash of sweet foam to the coffee. If you have some milk left over, whisk it with 1-2 teaspoons of sugar until it starts to froth, then pour it over your cup of coffee. Add 1⁄4 tablespoon (3.7 ml) sugar and 1⁄2 tablespoon (7.4 ml) unsweetened cocoa powder (per mug of coffee you're making) to your milk right before whisking. The result is a mocha-café au lait hybrid that is perfect as a nightcap or along with brunch. Substitute 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or one whole vanilla bean, for the cocoa powder to change things up. Scrape the seeds out of the vanilla bean and into the milk, then heat it with the milk and sugar for 5-10 minutes on low. Made famous by Louisiana's Café au Monde, this Creole version of the French classic is the only way you'll be served in the Big Easy. You can buy premixed chicory/coffee blends or measure in your own ground chicory to taste. Whenever possible, you should serve it with sweet beignets to offset the bitterness of the chicory. Technically, since the milk is not warmed, this is not a café au lait. That said, this iced treat has a the flavor of café au lait for a warm day. Add any extra sugar to taste.

Article in English: Because the wax will need to thoroughly adhere to any hair on your underarms, you need the hair to be at least .25 inches (0.6 cm) in order to use waxing as your method of hair removal. If your hair is too short, give it another few days before attempting to wax. Trim down any hair that is more than an inch long to prevent any complications or difficulties when waxing. If the hair under your arms is very long, it could make waxing more painful than necessary. Trimming especially long underarm hair prior to waxing can help alleviate this. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub, or simply a washcloth to exfoliate your underarms. This will remove any dirt from your pores and help prevent ingrown hairs when you are ready to wax. Try making your own gentle exfoliating scrub with a tablespoon of baking soda and enough mineral water to make a thin paste. Use your fingertips or a washcloth to gently rub the paste against your underarms, then rinse with warm water. Wax will not function properly if you apply it to wet skin. Before applying the wax, make sure your underarms are completely dry. This means no leftover water from exfoliating, and no sweat. You can even try dusting a little baby powder onto your underarms to ensure they are entirely dry. A bit of baby or talcum powder can also help alleviate a bit of the pain associated with waxing, so even if your armpits are dry, consider dusting on a light layer for your own comfort. Some waxing products can be applied cold or at room temperature, while others need to be warmed to be used. Whichever product you’re using, follow all directions on the bottle or box. This will ensure the product works its best. Make sure you stretch your arm up over your head and keep the skin of your underarms as tight as you can. This will help you make sure you apply the waxing strip evenly over your entire underarm, and insure you are able to wax away all hair. After you wax your underarms, you will want to soothe the skin. You can use a normal moisturizer, specifically one with soothing...

Article in English: Because there are so many factors to consider when diagnosing malignant hypertension, there are no universal guidelines on pharmacology or recommended medical therapies. Your doctor will evaluate your medical history and current condition before promptly beginning treatment. Your doctor will need to take into account drug interactions (especially if there's an underlying cause for your malignant hypertension), the resources available at the medical facility, and the level of medical expertise available. Your doctor will immediately try to reduce your blood pressure to safe levels within 1 hour (usually this is a 10 to 15 % decrease). Your blood pressure should continue to decrease of the next 24 to 48 hours, while you're in intensive or critical care. Your doctor will then wean you off of intravenous to oral agents to get you prepared for hospital discharge. Therapy for malignant hypertension is always intravenous agents/medications. When you're being weaned off of them, you'll be given a reduced amount and given oral medications in the same drug class. Labetalol is a beta blocker that blocks the effects of epinephrine and adrenaline. You will receive labetalol if you've had a heart attack (myocardial infarction or angina) because of malignant hypertension. It is typically the treatment of choice, working quickly to reduce your blood pressure and is an easily adjustable intravenous medication. Because the lungs also have beta receptors, labetalol isn't the first choice for treatment in patients with pulmonary edema from the malignant hypertension. Nitroprusside is a vasodilator, a medication used to dilate or open the blood vessels, reducing blood pressure very quickly. Since it's on a constant intravenous (IV) infusion pump, the dosage can easily be changed to anywhere from 0.25 to 8.0µg/kg/min. It does require a sensor line to be inserted in your femoral artery for continuous monitoring.  You'll be constantly monitored while receiving nitroprusside. Because of its rapid action, it can cause a steep drop in...

Article in English: Because they are said to be little people, you could build a trap for a leprechaun out of a shoe box. Either way, choose something small.  Make a trap door in it. Or prop it up with a dowel that you glue to it.  In addition to a shoebox, you could use anything small, such as a clean can, a paper towel roll, a bag, a net, or an old shoe. You could also put honey inside the trap so the leprechaun will get stuck inside the trap. Cut a hole in the top of the shoebox, and cover it with a small piece of felt. You will place your bait on top of the felt. When the leprechaun snatches it, the leprechaun will fall down the hole and into the box. You could use a cookie can or oatmeal cylindrical container instead, cover it in scrapbook paper, and prop a cardboard ladder up the side. If the leprechaun enters this vault, he won't be able to get out.  Put two holes in either side of the cylinder at the top and put a toothpick or other small stick through each end. Tape a perfect circle you make out of construction paper to the skewer. This will make a swinging trap door. Since leprechauns are drawn to shiny things, you could wrap the top of the leprechaun trap with tin foil.  You could also paint it gold. Sprinkle it with glitter and other shiny decorations that will appeal to a leprechaun. Some people paint their leprechaun traps green in honor of the leprechauns' native Ireland. Decorate the trap with Irish symbols the leprechaun will like. Four-leaf clovers and rainbows may attract the leprechaun. Since leprechauns are tied to gold, that's a good choice for bait.  Try an earring. Gold coins are said to make good bait for leprechauns. You can buy gold foil covered chocolate coins at candy stores. As for food and drink, leprechauns like whiskey and dandelion tea. They live in the wild, so they eat nuts and mushrooms.  Put the box in a corner and wait for the leprechaun to take the bait. Time your trap right. Folklore holds that leprechauns are very active the night before St. Patrick's Day (March 17). Go looking for...

You can find out if a playlist can be purchased through another service if an artist has added a Buy button to their playlist. SoundCloud artists do have the option to change the text on the button from “Buy” to something else. Some playlists will say Pre-Order, Purchase, or something along these lines. Artists often use services like iTunes, BandCamp or Spotify to sell songs and albums. The link from SoundCloud will likely link to one of those widely-used services, and most will require you to enter your credit card information before you are able to download your playlist.

Article in English: Because they lack empathy, psychopaths may respond to hearing of emotionally troubling events in a bland or robotic way, or in a way that seems forced and artificial.  For example, a psychopath may repeatedly express their disappointment with words only, but in a way that lacks emotion. Psychopaths, upon hearing troubling news, may make no real effort to resolve the issue, no matter how much they talk about it. However, they may also have a very strong reaction when you least expect it. This could be due to fear of being caught, taking offense to something minor due to their poor self-esteem, or misreading a situation and thinking they should "fake" a response. A psychopath may attempt to toy with your emotions by making you feel sorry for them. Watch for signs such as tones of voice and deflecting of blame to gain your sympathy. This is another way for them to deny responsibility of their own actions.  Watch for this manipulative behavior especially when the person needs an excuse as to why they made a faux pas or blunder (e.g., "forgot" your birthday). Another red flag is if they make everything about them and how hard they have it, without ever apologizing or taking responsibility. If you want to spot a prosocial psychopath, keep track of each time they bug you with questions about how you would act in certain emotion-inducing situations. This may indicate that, because they lack empathy and a conscience, they don't naturally feel what is normal or appropriate in some situations and have to get the data elsewhere.  For example, they may ask: "What would you do if you came out of your apartment and saw me hiding in the bushes?" This is something a normal person would not need to ask. If you are thinking of getting into a relationship with someone but you are worried they might be a psychopath, try to get a sense of how fast they want to move. There are several signs that might indicate psychopathy:   Do they, after no time at all, call you endearing terms? Do they insist that you should freely bring them...

Article in English: Because they lay around the ground, melon vines are particularly susceptible to pests like insects, mites, and leaf miners. To keep from worrying, you can learn to recognize common problems and figure out whether or not you've got a serious problem.   Root knots and swelling mean nematodes, a significant problem that you won't be able to take care of this season. Pull up your plants and sew some cereal rye into the soil to cleanse it.  Stickiness and wilting mean aphids, which can be treated with Theodan or other organic insecticides such as diatomaceous earth or essential oil & olive oil mixtures.  Leaf tunnels and trails mean leaf miners, which isn't something to worry about. They shouldn't affect the fruit significantly.  Yellow webbed leaves mean spider mites, meaning that plants will need to be removed, if the small red mites are significant enough. Grown and watered properly, your cantaloupe should be fine most of the time. Occasionally, though, ground-vining fruit are susceptible to blights and diseases that can ruin crops if not treated immediately. You can learn to recognize the most-common varieties of blight, so you can pull up the plants and save your other crops, or start a fungicidal regimen, depending on the severity.   Yellow spots with downy undergrowth signify downy mildew. This is sometimes treated with chlorothalonil, or other organic-based wide-spectrum fungicide, though it shouldn't be necessary for most gardens. Proper trellising of vines should help circulate air and eliminate the possibility of mildew.   Broken stems emitting amber-colored liquid means gummy sap blight. This is a soil-based blight, which means the crop will likely die this season, but you can treat sap blight by rotating varietals around your plot, and possibly using a selective fungicide.  Fruit rot after rain means southern blight. In regions with heavier soil, this is a common problem. Avoid over-watering and mulch between the plant and the soil to prevent rot. After going to all the trouble to prep your ground and...

Article in English: Because thrombocytopenia has numerous possible causes, the treatment plan your doctor assigns you will vary based on the root cause of your low platelet count. Sometimes, treatment plans are relatively simple - if your doctor determines your thrombocytopenia is a side-effect of a medicine you're taking, you may only need to discontinue or change your medication. Note that in the cases of some powerful anti-coagulants like heparin, platelet count may not increase when you stop taking the medication. You may need to take additional medications to recover. Doctors may prescribe certain medicines that boost platelet production to combat thrombocytopenia. These medicines, including eltrombopag and romiplostim, come in a variety of forms - they may be given as pills or injections. They may also be given in conjunction with one of the many other treatment options for thrombocytopenia, depending on its specific cause. Steroids can reduce the function of the body's immune system. Because of this, they are useful for treating thrombocytopenia is caused by an autoimmune disorder - a disorder wherein the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the body itself rather than foreign pathogens. Since steroids weaken the immune system, they can ease the effects of an autoimmune-related case of thrombocytopenia. However, a weakened immune system is at a greater risk of infection, so additional treatments may be necessary to offset this new risk.  Note that the steroids that doctors would prescribe in this case (such as prednisone) are different from the ones used illegally by athletes to boost physical performance. In more extreme cases of autoimmune thrombocytopenia, a doctor may prescribe intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) or antibodies to further slow the body's immune response. In rarer blood disorders associated with thrombocytopenia (like TTP and Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS)), doctors may recommend a procedure involving the treatment of a patient's blood plasma. Plasma is the portion of the blood that contains, among...

Article in English: Because tinnitus is so hard to treat, the most effective option is to avoid causing it in the first place, or avoid making the symptoms worse. The following may exacerbate the symptoms of tinnitus:  Loud noises. Concerts are the main culprit, but construction work, traffic, airplanes, gunshots, fireworks, and other loud noises can also be harmful. Swimming. Water and chlorine can get stuck in your inner ear while swimming, causing or intensifying your tinnitus. Keep this from happening by wearing earplugs while swimming. If you have constant ringing in your ears, any stress might make the condition worse. Find ways such as exercise, meditation, and massage therapy to relieve your stress. These substances increase the stress put on blood vessels by dilating them. This happens especially in the inner ear. Limit your intake of alcoholic beverages, coffee and caffeinated teas, and tobacco products to reduce the symptoms. Salt weakens your body's blood circulation, causing high blood pressure and making tinnitus potentially worse. Cut back on high-sodium foods and avoid adding salt to foods.

Article in English: Because tuxedo pants fit higher up around your waist than jeans or dress pants, which sit around your hips, you need to take different measurements instead of providing your pant size as you normally might. Using a tape measure, measure around the top of your hip bones and across your navel to determine an accurate waist size for a tuxedo. To make sure that the pants fit comfortably, take care to do this step properly. This can be done over your pants. Place the tape measure around your hips, where the hip bone juts out at its biggest point. Then, continue wrapping down around the biggest part of your backside. This will help to make sure that your trousers are roomy and comfortable. The outseam refers to the seam the runs along the outside edge of your leg. This measurement needs to be taken while you're wearing shoes. Measure from the outside arch of your shoe, pulling the tape measure up your leg, past your hip bone and to the height of your navel. This measurement helps determine the length of pants you will need. Make sure the shoes are similar to what you'll be wearing with the tuxedo, in terms of height. You wouldn’t want to do this barefoot, or wearing big-soled cowboy boots. The is usually most easily measured on a pair of pants that you already own, rather than while you've got them on. Fold a pair of pants that fits you well flat on its side, so the seams are even. Fold one leg up and out of the way, then measure a straight line from the crotch seam to the bottom cuff of the pants. Depending on the tailor or the rental place, some shops will ask you for both in and out-seam measurements, while others will only ask for one or the other. Make sure you find out what they're looking for, so you don't provide the wrong measurements.

Article in English: Because we as individuals know very little about the world, you'd expect that we'd be awestruck more often than we typically are. Children have this sense of wonder, and it inspires the curiosity that makes them such keen observers and capable learners. Do you really know how your microwave works?  Could you build one on your own? What about your car? Understand your brain? A rose? The jaded, "I've seen it all" attitude makes us feel far more important than we are.  Nobody has seen it all - nobody knows it all. Be amazed like a child and you will not only be humbled; you will also be readier to learn. Gentleness of spirit is the sure path to humility. Use 'Aikido' where possible when faced with conflict: absorb the venom from others' attacks and turn it into something positive by trying to understand why they are angry and reacting with gentleness and respect. Practicing gentleness will help you rediscover your sense of wonder as you focus on the positive aspects of life. Go take a walk in the park. Stand near the bottom of a waterfall. Look at the world from the top of a mountain. Go for a long hike. Swim in an ocean. Find your own way of being in nature and take the time to truly appreciate all that it entails. Close your eyes and feel the breeze on your face. You should feel completely humbled by nature - a force that is so immense in its depth and power. As you develop your wonder and respect for all of the things that were there long before you were and which will be there long after you are gone, you will began to realize just how small you are in this world.

Article in English: Because white spots are also an indication of enamel damage and early stages of tooth decay or can also be produced by fluoride ingestion at an early age (childhood fluorosis), preventing these spots from forming is almost always preventable with regular brushing and flossing. Improving your dental hygiene habits will  reduce the likelihood of getting white spots in the future.  Some tips to help you have great oral hygiene habits include:  Always brush your teeth after waking up, after eating, and before going to bed. Check the fluoride content of your toothpaste. You need enough fluoride to reduce acid and balance out your mouth's pH levels, but you don’t want to have so much fluoride that it is damaging.  Try to aim for amounts of fluoride between 1,000 and 1,500 ppm unless your dentist says otherwise. Floss every night.  If you have difficulty using standard floss, try using a pre-threaded flosser, instead. Visit the dentist every six months. Good care at home can prevent most problems, but a dentist can diagnose early signs of plaque buildup and other related issues. Certain foods can damage tooth enamel and make the mouth acidic and dry, allowing more bacteria to grow as a result.  This can damage the enamel on your teeth and allow harmful bacteria to infiltrate the pores of your teeth, leeching nutrients and minerals from the teeth and causing white spots.  Some tips to reduce your intake of these products include:  Avoid sugary drinks, especially carbonated drinks like soda.  Also be wary of candy and products that contain artificial sweeteners. If you need to sweeten something, opt for natural alternatives like honey or maple syrup, and use as little as possible. If you do consume anything that is high in sugar or carbohydrates, be sure to rinse your mouth with water immediately, then brush after about 30 minutes. In addition to remineralizing your teeth with home remedies or in-office professional treatments, another great way to prevent white spots is to eat foods that are heavy in teeth...

Article in English: Because wild ginseng is so valuable, poachers are common in regions where it is grown. Fencing off the area won't deter someone who knows the ginseng is there, but it may prevent people from discovering the site. A loud dog may be an excellent thief deterrent. Ginseng that grows too close together may spread disease between plants or compete with each other for nutrients. Consider removing or transplanting plants after the first growing season to get down to 6 plants per square foot (65 per square meter), and again after the second year of growth down to 1 or 2 plants per square foot (11 to 22 per square meter). You may also plant ginseng in other areas each year during the fall to develop an ongoing harvest. Many growers do this so they have mature ginseng to harvest each year after the first batch matures. One major advantage to the wild-simulated method is a reduced risk of pest and disease, due to the wider spacing. While a few plants or berries may be eaten occasionally, you are unlikely to lose many of the valuable roots, and diseases shouldn't spread between plants at a high rate. If you do encounter a problem, contact your local wildlife department for information about ginseng pesticides. Keep in mind that you may lose your organic certification or your credibility in selling wild-simulated ginseng if you use pesticides. You'll need to wait about 7 to 10 years for your plants to mature into large, valuable roots, but with the right site and a little luck. Growing ginseng with the wild-simulated method requires a lot of patience, but almost no maintenance. Check periodically to see if the ground remains moist and covered with a small amount of leaf litter. If your ginseng is planted densely, harvest after 4 years or the roots might begin to dwindle These roots will not be as valuable, however. The part of the ginseng plants above the surface will die back in the autumn, but grow again in the spring. It will grow bigger each time, and all the while, the root below will be growing larger.

Article in English: Because you don't know everything about why your parents are arguing, and because you might easily misunderstand something you overhear, it's probably best if you try not to listen in on their fight. Eavesdropping while your parents are fighting will probably just upset you more, when there's a good chance that they will soon work it out. If at all possible, you should try to go somewhere away from where your parents are fighting so that you can relax and let them work it out. For example, you can go to your room and read a book or play a video game, or go play just try to keep being occupied outside the conversation You may not always be able to go to another room or go outside when you're parents start to argue.  For example, a lot of parents get stressed out and argue during long car trips. If this happens, you can still try to find a way to tune them out. For example, put your ear-buds in and listen to some relaxing or fun music, or try to focus on a magazine or book. If you don't feel safe when your parents are fighting, if your parents are threatening each other with physical violence, or if someone else is getting hurt, it's very important that you get to a safe place and that you call for help. You may be worried that your parents will be mad at you for involving the police, but remember that it's always better to be safe than sorry, and that it is not your fault that the police were called—it is their fault (totally and completely) for having put you in that difficult position.

Article in English: Because you have to film each separate movement, clay animation takes a long time. Keep that in mind when you’re planning your story. Even a 30-minute movie would require over 20,000 pictures. You can start with a very short story, and work on longer ones as you get more experience. To figure out approximately how many shots you’ll need, consider that for every second of film, you’ll need about 12 shots or stops. Multiply that by 60 seconds in a minute, and then the number of minutes you want in your film to determine how many shots you need. The more complicated your story is, the more characters and movement you'll need. Instead, stick to a simple story that only includes a few characters and 1 or 2 major movements. For example, your story could be about a boy talking his dog for a walk. For that, you'd only need a background and dog and boy clay figures. If you're just beginning with clay animation, moving a character's mouth so it looks like it's talking can take a lot of time and energy. Instead, add dialogue when you're editing your animation. You can layer conversation bubbles over your film as you go.  For example, if you're making a film about a boy walking a dog, maybe at some point the dog starts to chase a bird. Draw or insert (depending on your software) a conversation bubble next to the boy. You can write something like "Fido! Stop chasing the birds!" If you're adding dialogue bubbles, you'll need to make sure you add them to several frames. Otherwise, they won't appear in the animation long enough for your viewer to read them. In clay animation, you need to take a separate shot of every single movement. Because of that, you have to plan out your story in careful detail. You can find free downloadable storyboards online on websites. You can also order storyboards from craft and hobby stores. Each movement should be mapped on separate shot cards. Each card should have a drawing of the scene, the frame number, any notes you need, and the shot number. As you plot your story, you might find you need...

Article in English: Because you start with your back hunched, you will continue to run that way unless you straighten up. Not straightening up will both slow you down and might lead you to fall down and potentially hurt yourself. Make sure to:  Lift up your head about thirty to forty meters into the race. In other words, you should be straight before the second third of the track. Don't look like a pole though, you'll create more air resistance that way. Keep some form of streamlined shape, just not too streamlined. To shave a tiny bit more time off of your final score, lunge towards the end. As you get better at running the 100m event, you'll get better at judging where and when to lunge. To do the lunge, wait until you've nearly crossed the line. With all the energy you have left, throw your chest towards the finish line. The judges usually stop the stopwatch when your chest passes the line, not head. That's why you want to throw it forward.

Article in English: Because you want to avoid damaging the keratin bonds, shampoo selection is very important for this type of hair extension. Do your best to find one made specifically for use with hair extensions. If this isn't possible, pick a mild moisturizing shampoo instead. Be sure to avoid shampoos containing sulfates and silicone. Sulfates will dry out your extensions, while silicone may cause them to slip off. Use warm (but not hot) water. You can do this in the shower or at the bathroom sink. Run your fingers through your hair to make sure it is soaked-through and tangle-free. Shampoo your hair, including the extensions, as you normally would. Take a dollop of shampoo and lather it into your hair. Massage it in beginning at the scalp and work your way down to the bottom hair tips. Rinse the shampoo out with warm water. Keep in mind that extensions will not be reached by your scalp's natural oils. Even if you don't normally need to condition your hair, use one when wearing extensions. Hot water may damage your extensions, while cold water will not properly remove residue. Wrap your hair with a towel to remove excess water when you're finished. Leave your hair to air dry. Remember that more frequent washings will shorten the lifespan of your extensions. If you normally go longer without washing your hair, add a leave-in conditioner to your extensions to keep them moisturized. If your natural hair is oily, try using dry shampoo to reduce the washing frequency necessary to keep your hair looking clean.

Article in English: Because you will be actively pursuing your dream, you may not have time to pursue a whole career like teaching or working a 9 to 5 job. You may still need an income to pursue your dream, however. So look for a job that you can work at consistently while you pursue your passion. Eventually, with enough education and experience working in the field you are pursuing, you will be able to make money doing what you love.

Article in English: Because you will be using glow sticks, which only glow for a certain amount of time, it is best to have everything on hand and ready. Plan the make this polish just before you need to use it, but be sure to include enough drying time. Here is a list of what you will need:  1 glow stick 1 bottle of nail polish (partly full) Sharp scissors Strainer (recommended) You can use a clear polish or a colored one. If you choose to use a colored one, however, be sure to match it to the color of the glow stick. For example, if you are using a pink glow stick, then use a pink nail polish.  A clear nail polish base will give you the best glow. It can also be applied over a solid-colored nail polish, just like a top coat. You can use any color of glow stick with white nail polish. Consider using a clear nail polish with glitter inside it for a sparkly effect. You will be pouring the glow stick fluid into the bottle, which will take up space. Choose a bottle that is one half to two-thirds of the way full. If you are starting out with a full bottle, you may want to pour some of the polish out; not doing so may result in an overflow. Hold the cut end of the glow stick glow to the mouth of the nail polish and carefully tip it over. Be careful not to get any of the glow stick liquid onto your work surface or onto your skin; the liquid can stain certain surfaces and irritate skin. Keep pouring the liquid until you either run out of liquid or the bottle becomes full. Glow sticks contain glass tubes, which shatter when you snap them. If you are concerned about getting glass into your polish, consider placing a tightly-woven strainer over the mouth of the nail polish bottle before pouring in the glow stick liquid.

Article in English: Because your body reacts to cold by sending warm blood to your internal organs, you can help prevent your hands from getting cold and help warm them up by keeping your core warm and protected. If your body doesn’t think your organs are in danger, it won’t take warming blood away from your hands. In cooler weather, layer your clothing, wear a base layer, an insulating layer, and an outer layer that protects from wind and rain. Tight clothes, socks, and even underwear can actually constrict your blood vessels, meaning blood has a harder time circulating, and this can leave your hands chilly. To combat this, wear loose clothes that are comfortable and provide you with freedom of movement. If you are wearing tight clothes and your hands get cold, change into looser clothes as soon as you can. It makes sense that if your hands are exposed to the cold, then they will get cold, so keep them protected with warm, loose-fitting gloves.  Be sure to get gloves that cover your wrists as well, because a lot of heat can be lost here. Put your hands in your pockets if you don’t have gloves, or stick them inside your jacket to keep them out of the breeze. Ginger is a thermogenic food, meaning it produces heat when your body metabolizes it. A hot cup of ginger tea could help warm your entire body, including your hands, and holding the warm cup is sure to bring some life back to your hands. No matter how cold it is outside, there are some areas of our bodies that are almost always warm, such as under our armpits and between and under our thighs. Put your bare hands directly on the skin in a warm area of your body and leave them there until they warm up.

Article in English: Because your curtains are going to be unlined, they will still allow some sunlight through.  For the lightest look, choose curtains made of lace or a sheer cloth. These will allow the most light through while still showing a simple pattern or color. If you want to block out sunlight, look for a heavy linen fabric. Even without being lined this fabric will dampen the amount of light shining through them, making your room much darker. If you choose a fabric that is patterned, try to find one that is patterned only on one side or that has an identical pattern on both sides. This is because when the sun shines through the fabric, it will cause you to see both patterns at once, making it appear very disorienting. Using a fabric with a high thread count (500+) is more expensive, but will block the most sunlight because it is tightly woven. Although you may not be touching your curtains all the time, the texture of the fabric gives a different appearance when hung in the light.  Cotton and polyester fabrics are the most basic for curtain use, and the easiest to sew. Avoid using silk or satin, as they will deteriorate in the sunlight. Sewing jersey knit fabrics is very difficult as they stretch when pulled. They will also begin to puddle on the floor after being hung because of their elasticity. Don’t choose a fabric that is too stiff, as it won’t drape when hung. An example of this is tulle, which offers a pretty option for sheer fabric, but is much too inflexible. You don’t have to purchase your fabric at a fabric store, look in second-hand, vintage, and consignment shops for great fabric.  Try finding vintage tablecloths in the size you need to fit your window. These offer a fun mod look to your room. Using patterned sheets is a cheap alternative to buying yardage of fabric. You can look for brand new or vintage sheets in antique or consignment shops.

Article in English: Because your partner is going to be gone much of the time, you need to develop your own interests and sense of self. Of course, that's a good idea in any relationship, but it's especially good when you need to fend for yourself for months on end. Make sure to develop a social network outside of your partner, as well as your own hobbies and interests.  For instance, try joining local hobby clubs that interest you or taking classes at a nearby community college. It's important to develop your own life because otherwise, you may end up very unhappy in the relationship, as the band will draw your partner away a good amount of time. If you're unhappy, the relationship isn't going to last. If your partner is in a band, he or she may be moderately or even really famous. That means that you may have other people trying to cut into your time with them. You may also find that people are trying to get into bed with your partner. It can be a difficult part of the lifestyle to deal with for you, but it's part of being in a band. Therefore, if you want to stay with your current partner, you have to decide to deal with this aspect of the relationship.  If people are constantly interrupting your time while you're trying to have a date, it may be time to take it somewhere private so you can actually spend time with each other.  In addition, you probably worry about your partner cheating on you, especially if he or she goes on tour, but it really comes down to whether you trust the person or not. If your partner has the integrity not to cheat on you at home, he or she won't do it on the road, either. Being a band is a lot of work, and everyone around can be dragged in, including you. You need to know exactly what you're willing to do and lay that out clearly to your partner. For instance, you may be willing to help with setup, but you may not be willing to host the band every other night for a giant party. You know you need enough sleep to feel good and be healthy. When you live someone who lives a bit of an alternative...

Article in English: Because your puppy is so small, you can easily bathe him in either the utility sink (if you have one) or the bathtub. Whichever location you choose, be sure to place either a towel or slip-proof mat on the bottom surface to keep your puppy from slipping or falling during his bath.  In addition, it is important for puppies to be warm. A small space heater may be useful in keeping the room warm. Organize all of your supplies in the bathing area. This will keep you organized and efficient, as well as lessen the chance that you will have to turn your back on your puppy during the bathing process. Place some of your puppy's toys in the sink or bathtub. This will help keep him entertained during the bath and will make the experience more fun for him.  Plastic toys and toys inside which you can hide a treat are good to have your puppy play with during bath time.  Consider diluting the shampoo (1 part shampoo to 10 parts water) and conditioner (1 part conditioner to 8 parts water). Diluting each product may be necessary if your puppy has particularly sensitive skin. It would be helpful to keep some treats nearby to feed to your puppy while you are bathing him. Rather than calling him to come to you, you should go to him, pick him up, and carry him to the sink or tub. If your puppy is extremely young, he may not yet know how to respond consistently to his name being called—this is another reason to go to him rather than call him to come to you.  Walk slowly with your puppy and talk to him in a quiet and soothing voice to keep him calm before bath time. His first bath may be an unsettling experience for him, so you will want to make him feel as comfortable as possible. You can also offer him some treats as you are carrying him. Use a bristle brush to smooth out your puppy's coat and remove mats (areas of clumped fur) before bathing him. These mats can become nearly impossible to comb or brush through when the fur becomes wet, so it is preferable to get the hair as smooth as possible before getting your puppy wet.  Shih...

Article in English: Because you’re making easy pants, you only need a few things. When choosing your fabric, remember that you’ll need two pieces and they need to be 5” taller than your pants and 2” wider.   Measuring tape Scissors Sewing chalk Sewing kit A drawstring Jeans or pajama pants that fit you Fabric Wash and dry your fabric as per the care instructions that are usually found on the bolt of fabric purchased at the store. This prevents the fabric from shrinking after you make your pants and wash them. Do this with the fabric on the wrong-side out. Using a pair of pants that fit you, trace an outline for your new pants using the sewing chalk. To do this, fold your pants in half, pulling out the crotch seam to that they lay completely flat from waist to ankle. Trace the outline on both pieces of fabric.  Jeans are harder to fold perfectly flat than other fabrics. Avoid pants with cargo pockets. Add ½” around both sides of your outline. Duplicate this on your second outlined piece of fabric and cut along this outline.

Article in English: Become a pro by taking different types of photos and using the filters. Notice the different ways filters can enhance dim lighting or increase the depth of certain colors. You may need to preview your photo in all of the available filters before finding the right one.  Having uniform colors and effects on most of your photos is a great way to develop an aesthetic. Using too many different filters could make your profile look tacky. See the hashtag “#nofilter” for examples. Some Instagram users choose never to use filters as a way to highlight the natural beauty of their photos. Instagram’s built-in filters are cool but somewhat limited. There are additional apps that can add even more depth to your content. Install a well-reviewed photo editor from the app store and breathe new life into your feed.  Try Instagram’s Boomerang to make short, engaging stop-motion videos. Also try Layout, which allows you to combine multiple photos in a single collage-style image. Try VSCO Cam, Prisma, Aviary, or Snapseed for high-quality photo editing. You won’t always get a great shot the first time, so take several photos and choose the best one. Only post the best, most creative photos that will keep your followers interested and engaged. As with traditional photography, Instagram photography has an element of "practice makes perfect." You can only improve by using the app regularly and trying new things. Experiment and get creative with your photos. Try new angles, color combinations, and subjects in a variety of interesting settings. Use your Instagram account to create a story that is creative, original, and honest. Add “cliffhangers” to your photos to keep fans coming back for more. For example, document your travels to a new place, the countdown to a significant event, or your journey with a new pet. Spend more time making an individual photo exceptional instead of sharing several that are mediocre. Captions can be humorous or sincere. Be playful, but informative. Inspired by Snapchat, Instagram now allows users to post...

Article in English: Become an expert on his moods and emotions. Cancer men tend to be among the most emotional, sensitive zodiac males. If you can master the ability to decipher his moods and react accordingly, you can find your way into his heart rather quickly.  When he feels distressed, ask him about what's wrong. If he hesitates, let him open up at his own pace but make it clear that you are willing and eager to listen. When he's not actively unhappy, keep him laughing. The typical Cancer man loves to laugh, so a woman who can keep him smiling will seem very appealing. Drop your guard and let yourself be vulnerable in front of him. Most Cancer men are fully capable of supporting you emotionally and actually appreciate having the opportunity to do so. Confide in him about your secrets. Turn to him first when you've had a bad day. He craves empathy from those he cares about and yearns to return it. You'll need to appreciate his thoughtfulness towards you, and you'll also need to accept and encourage his thoughtfulness toward others. Even though most Cancer men are loyal, there can be times when they'll prioritize helping someone else over spending time with you. Don't be surprised if he rushes to the side of a sick friend or offers to assist a neighbor with a difficult task, even if it means canceling a night with you to do so. His sense of obligation can take over at inconvenient times, and you'll need to learn how to tolerate that. Healthy arguments can be beneficial, but lashing out or spouting spiteful insults won't be. If you attack his weak points through your words, you may cause him to put up a barricade between you and his heart. He might be more sensitive to criticism than most, so comments that cut him down will cause him to withdraw. You can bring up constructive criticism or concerns when needed, but stay away from criticisms that do nothing but insult him. When your Cancer man can feel how much you love him, he might be more likely to fall in love with you in return. Do something nice for him without having a...

Article in English: Become friends with a girl by working your way into her social circle. Join clubs that she's in or hang out at parties or gatherings where you know she'll be. Let her get to know your face, talk to her more and more often, and you'll be friends before you know it. Know her likes and dislikes, her quirks and pet peeves. This sets you up for success; girls don't want to date someone that just likes them because they're pretty. They want someone who really "gets" them. Talk about things like religion, politics, where she grew up, her family, and other important topics. Talk about dumb stuff too! You should also let her know you! Strike up friendly conversations and let her do most of the talking, but take a turn yourself every now and then. Support her in the things she likes to do. Learn about the activity and maybe even learn to enjoy it yourself. Even if you don't or can't, attend plays or performances that she does. She should feel like you get the things that make her happy in life. You should also let her see you enjoying the things that you love. Passion is contagious and very attractive. Establish yourself as a good friend by being there for her when she's having a hard time, helping her with problems when you can, making her laugh when you can't, and keeping her life fun by always finding new things to enjoy together! Don't fear the friend zone: if you're really compatible it won't matter how long you've been friends; she'll be responsive to your feelings.

Article in English: Becoming employed can show your parents that you want to be more independent.  Most parents think working instills a variety of positive traits like developing work ethic and strengthening your independence.  Working will also give you time away from your parents. Getting a job shows your parents that you care about your future and might alleviate some of their concerns with your well-being. There are various ways you can prepare yourself for getting the job that is right for you. Parents, in general, are usually concerned with your school work and your educational future.  Finishing your assignments on time and staying up-to-date with your studies will prove that you are responsible and need less direction from your parents.  If you are struggling in school then arrange for a tutoring service provided by your teacher or school.  This will both lessen your time with your parents and show them that you don't need them to bother you about school work. If you are making good grades be sure to tell your parents. Staying after-school can only occupy so much time.  Inquire with your school about the various extracurricular programs you can become involved with.  Occupying your time away from your home life could create the necessary space you need from your parents. If you're unsure about what programs your school has to offer, then ask your favorite teacher or councilor. Friends' homes can be your safe-haven while your parents are bothering you. Plan activities with your friends that will get you out of the house like:  Going to the arcade Going bowling Going to see a movie Playing laser tag A group of your friends are having a sleepover. Their parents invited you on a weekend camping or beach trip. Their parents invited you over for dinner.

Article in English: Becoming powerful will come more naturally if you put yourself into a position that also feels natural. Find something you feel comfortable doing, then insert yourself into the middle of the field and work your way to power from there.  In particular, you should try putting yourself into leadership roles that you feel comfortable maintaining, even if those roles aren't directly related to the field you want to become powerful in. For instance, you might lead a small group at your church even though you want to become powerful at the office. By putting yourself into positions of authority, you can develop a more powerful personality. That personality can then carry over into other areas of your life. You've probably experienced moments of power in your past, even if they seem minor when compared to the sort of power you're seeking now. When you feel your resolve starting to shake, recall these past moments and spend some time meditating on the sensation of power they once evoked. The moments you recall can deal with virtually any aspect of life. For example, you might choose a notable academic accomplishment, like graduating with honors, or even a personal one, like successfully quitting smoking. Regardless of what you choose, the point is to focus on the sensation of being powerful rather than on the actual event itself. While it isn't always true, powerful people tend to use expansive body language that takes up more space. This sort of body language can convey confidence to other people, which may make them view you as a more powerful person.  Expansive body language can include crossing your arms, crossing your legs so that the knee sticks out, stretching out your legs so that they extend beyond the edge of the chair, or holding your hands to your hips. In contrast, you demonstrate constricted posture when you do things like folding your legs beneath your chair, dropping your shoulders, or holding your hands to your sides. Doing so will require you to demonstrate fearlessness and a considerable amount of...

Article in English: Becoming successful on Instagram is a give and take process: if you like others' photos, then these users are more likely to notice you and like yours. Think about what you do when you get a notification that someone has liked one of your photos — odds are that at least some of the time you'll head to that user's page and check out their photos. Making an effort to like others' photos increases the chances they'll do this to you in return. You can start by going to your followers' pages and liking your favorite photos among the most recent posts. However, you may not want to stop there — liking content from new users outside your list of followers is a great way to expand your Instagram visibility (plus, it can help you get new followers.) On Instagram, following someone else means getting more followers for yourself! The more people you follow (and interact with) on Instagram, the more people will have the chance to see and like your pictures. In addition, for profiles with restrictive privacy settings, you'll need to become a follower before you can start viewing photos, giving out likes, and making your presence known to the profile's other followers. You don't just have to follow people you already know — following random users whose content you like can help you expand your reach (and keep your personal feed fresh and interesting at the same time.) Try browsing through the top photos in the "Explore" tab (which you can get to by pressing the button at the bottom of the screen that looks a little like a compass) and start following people who take photos you are interested in. If you're just starting out on Instagram, one of the quickest ways to boost your follower count (and start getting likes) is to find people on Instagram you already know from your other social media sites (like, for instance, Facebook.) To do this, head to your profile tab (tap the button in the bottom right of the screen that looks like the outline of a person) and head to your settings menu by tapping the button in the top right....

Article in English: Bed bugs are experts at hiding, and they can hid in cracks, in mattresses, or even behind items on your bedside table. Take a flashlight to look for them in those areas. Bed bugs leave behind small black flecks of feces. You might also notice small drops of blood on your bed in the morning. Not everyone is affected by a bed bug bite. In fact, only about 1/3 of people develop a spot on their skin after they are bitten. The bites usually result in a small pink bump that itches.Most often, they occur in groups of three. That is, if you find a bug, compare it to pictures online to determine it really is a bed bug, as opposed to a flea or tick. While your bedroom is the most likely to be infected, check out other rooms, as well. For instance, you could bring bed bugs in on a couch, so your living room could be infected.

Article in English: Bedbug bites commonly resemble other insect bites, including mosquito bites. They typically involve a raised, reddish bump but can also appear as a blister. Bedbug bites are very difficult to distinguish from other insect bites; even a clinical physician cannot usually diagnose bites simply by looking at them.  Bedbugs do, however, have a unique bite pattern. Although some bites may appear alone, most bites occur in a row of three to five bites (termed "breakfast, lunch, and dinner") or in a cluster of red bumps (a rash called bedbug dermatitis). The bites often appear in a zig-zag formation, but may appear in a straight line if the bugs bite you in the morning. Bites tend to occur on exposed areas of the body. Studies show that they have a preference of biting the skin around the eyelids, and such areas as the neck, face, feet, and arms. In contrast to mosquito bites, bedbug bites rarely occur on the back of the knees or in the folds of the skin. The bumps or the rash typically resolve themselves within one to two weeks. However, although an individual bite or set of bites may heal, if you have not eradicated the problem through pest extermination, then you may continue to get bitten. As long as there are bedbugs, they will try to get at you. Consider, for example, if you notice the bites after waking up when previously you hadn't noticed them. However, this can also be difficult to determine because each person's reaction time can vary significantly. Symptoms that result from the bite can manifest at any point from a couple of hours to more than a week after the bite occurred. Bedbug bites can have a long incubation period. Visible signs of the bite (a red, itchy bump) can appear up to 10 days after you were initially bitten. Start with where you sleep. Bedbugs want to be where people are so they can get the warm blood of humans. A telling sign is red spots on the sheets. These may come from a bedbug that was squashed after feeding, or from the bites left on you when the bug finished feeding on you. ...

Article in English: Bedwetting is a problem if your child has previously been able to stay dry and has now regressed. Many experts agree that it is also considered a problem if your child is over the age of five and if the issue occurs more than twice a week. Your first step to finding a solution is to find the cause. Make an appointment with your child's doctor to discuss the problem.  There are many common physical issues that can cause bedwetting. One of the most common is called delayed bladder maturation, in which your child's bladder as not developed as quickly as the rest of their body. Your child might also suffer from having a low amount of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). This hormone prevents the body from producing urine. Studies show that children who have low levels of this hormone often wet the bed. Other causes include small bladder capacity, birth defects, deep sleeping, and genetics.  Ask your doctor to run some tests to determine the cause of the problem. Make sure that they clearly understand your concerns. If the lab results do not indicate a physical cause for the bedwetting, you may want to consider an emotional cause. Doctors say that if your child has previously gone six months or more without wetting the bed, the problem might be stress or anxiety. Start exploring underlying causes if you think your child is suffering from stress or anxiety.  Consider whether your child has been through any major life changes recently. For example, as there been a move? A death in the family? A divorce? Any of these things could very likely cause stress or anxiety. Try having some in-depth conversations with your child. You can ask some questions to let you try to determine if there are any issues that you are unaware of. Try saying something like, "How's school going? I haven't heard you talk much about how you're liking your teachers lately." Then you can use the information to try to figure out if your child is having some sort of emotional problem. Once you have figured out what is causing the bedwetting, you can begin...

Article in English: Beef ribs need to be cooked low and slow, and you can do it either in the oven or on the grill. Preheat to 225 degrees Fahrenheit (107 degrees Celsius). If you're cooking on the grill, you can smoke the ribs by adding applewood chips to the coals. Choose hickory, pecan, sweet maple or cherry. Wrap them well in several layers of aluminum foil, making sure there are no holes for the juice to leak out. You can place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet if you're worried about getting juices in your oven. Wrap the ribs so that you'll be able to open the foil from the top to check whether they are done. You don't want to have to completely unwrap them, since you'll get drippings everywhere if you do so. Put them meat side down in the oven or on the grill and close the door or lid. Cook the ribs for 3 hours without disturbing them. During this time the juices will start to flow and the meat will become succulent and tender. Make sure the temperature stays constant at 225 degrees. If your oven tends to run hot or cold, you might need to adjust it during the cooking process. If you're cooking on a grill, monitor the temperature and adjust the gas as necessary. After about 3 hours, carefully unwrap the top of the foil and poke the ribs with a fork. If the meat easily falls off the bone, they're ready. If it resists, replace the foil and let the ribs cook for an additional 1/2 hour before checking again.

Article in English: Beekeepers have designated colors to identify queens born in specific years. This helps you pick out the queen quickly, and to figure out if your hive will need a new queen soon. Be sure to choose the right paint color before marking your queen.  Any acrylic-based paint is fine. Many beekeepers use model paint or even paint pens. White paint is used for queens marked in years ending in 1 or 6. If the year ends in 2 or 7, use yellow. Use red for years ending in 3 or 8. Green paint is used for years ending in 4 or 9. Use blue for years ending in 5 or 0. Bees can get agitated or even injured if you hold them too long, so be sure your paint is ready for marking before you pick up the queen. Keep the paintbrush or paint pen dipped and ready to go in your other hand or on a small table next to the hive. Gently pick up the queen by her wings or thorax. Be very, very careful when you pick her up--if she struggles, you can accidentally tear her wings or crush her. Some apiaries sell marking kits that let you confine the queen to a small plastic box during marking, but this isn’t a requirement. If you accidentally drop the queen, you’ll want her to fall back into the hive instead of in the grass or on your beekeeping suit. Keep the queen held over the hive the entire time you’re working with her. Dab a small dot of paint on her thorax, immediately between her two front legs. Put on enough paint to make your mark visible, but don’t use too much--you could gum up her wings or legs with dried paint. Some beekeepers prefer to clip the queen’s wings instead of marking her with paint, but this is optional. If you choose to do this, pick her up gently and trim the bottom quarter of both wings with a small set of beekeeping clippers.

Article in English: Beer batter can be made with any style or variety of beer, so you should feel free to experiment with different styles to see what you like best. If you've got Bud Lite on hand, that would make for just as good a beer batter as a craft IPA.  Generally, ales and lagers are used to make beer batters. The lighter and more carbonated, the lighter the batter. If you're not a big fan of beer flavors, use a lighter lager or a pilsner. Darker stouts, porters, and ales are also perfectly fine for making beer batter, and will add a malty richness to the batter. Sometimes, these beers are significantly less carbonated, so it might be a good idea to cut it with half sparkling water. It's fine to just use beer in the batter, but some people like to cut it in half with an equal amount of water to stretch the batter a bit, and to save the beer for drinking with dinner.  While beer batter is similar in some ways to a basic pancake batter, never add milk to beer batter. Milk added to beer will curdle, unless a small amount of lemon juice is added. If you're wondering, the process of frying the beer cooks off all the alcohol. Adding more beer won't make the fried food more boozy. Into your beer mixture, beat an egg directly into the liquid, until it’s frothy. Some people leave this step out and just stick to a basic beer-and-flour batter, which is perfectly effective. But, beating in an egg helps to add a little body and golden richness to the batter, helping it to crisp up a little more nicely. Holding your whisk in one hand, start adding flour to the beer mixture, a few tablespoons at a time, whipping it vigorously to avoid lumps. Integrate all the flour you add until you add more. If you use one 12 oz bottle or can of beer, you'll need about 2 cups of flour to make batter. This will make enough batter to coat about 20 fish fillets. If you want a fluffier, more cake-like beer batter, it's also good at this point to add about a 3/4 of baking powder, like if you were making pancakes. If you don't have it on hand, it's also...

Article in English: Bees evolved with wildflowers, and the bees in your area will respond best to the flowers they "grew up with," so to speak. What flowers are native to your area? If you're not sure, go to a local gardening store and ask for a native wildflower mix, or do some research online before ordering seeds. If you don't want your garden to be completely wild, choose at least a few species that will complement the rest of your garden and attract bees.  The more wildflowers you plant, the more bees you'll attract, and the better your garden will grow. Planting wildflowers is beneficial in more ways than one! Aim to plant a great diversity of flowers with a range of shapes and textures, not just one or two types. The more diverse your garden is, the better it will support different bee species as well as other beneficial insects and wildlife. Flowers with a single row of petals, rather than flowers with more than one row, are more attractive to bees. Single-petaled flowers have more pollen than other flowers, so they provide a little more food for hungry honey bees. It's also easier for bees to reach the pollen when there is only one row of petals to crawl across. Here are a few flowers bees particularly love:  Asters Calliopsis Clover Cosmos Crocuses Dahlias Foxglove Geraniums Hollyhocks Hyacinth Marigolds Poppies Roses Snowdrops Sunflowers Zinnias These colors attract bees more than pinks, oranges and reds do. Your garden doesn't have to be exclusively yellow, blue and purple, but having a good amount of flowers with these hues will keep the bees buzzing in your yard. If all of your flowers bloom at the same time, the bees will have a feast, then run out of food before the summer's end. Plant a variety of flowers that will bloom throughout the spring, summer, and into the fall to keep the bees in your neighborhood fed and happy. Berries, melons, squash, cucumbers, and fruit trees, especially cherry trees, all produce fragrant flowers and fruit that are attractive to bees. Bees are beneficial to these plants, so...

Article in English: Bees will flee from smoke, or become dazed and less aggressive if they inhale too much. Build a campfire or light a smoky candle to keep bees away from your camping or picnicking area. A barbecue is unlikely to be effective, due to the attractive scent of meat. Citronella candles, which are often sold as insect repellants, may be effective at driving away bees purely because of the smoke, not the citronella. Mothballs contain a powerful pesticide that can drive away or kill many insects, including bees. This option is more commonly used in attics and storage spaces, but some picnickers put mothballs in fine mesh bags or old nylon stockings, and hang them from trees. Mothballs can be dangerous to humans as well. Keep mothballs away from children, and avoid the strong-smelling fumes they produce. Bitter almond oil, or its pure active ingredient benzaldehyde, can be used to repel bees. Pour a little onto a rag, and keep it in a warm, breezy, outdoor area where it will evaporate quickly. Be aware that it may cause harm in large quantities, although some studies disagree. Keep the rag away from pets and children. Some people add an equal amount of tea tree oil to the rag, which may also drive away bees. This has not been scientifically tested, but may work in some cases. Sometimes, attracting bees to alternate options may be an effective method of control, especially when you are using deterrent methods around your own food. Some people report success when laying out dishes of sugar water, maple syrup, or strips of banana peel on the opposite side of the lawn or field, so the bees feed from other areas instead. Keep these lures a significant distance away, or they may backfire. If none of this works, keep in mind to bee proof your eating area next time you host a picnic.  If wasps are around as well, lay out both sugar and meat, as different types of wasps are attracted to these two substances. Do not use this method at a campground, since animals such as bears or skunks may be attracted by the food as well.

Article in English: Before a seizure, abnormal electrical activity builds in the brain, and after the seizure occurs it takes a while to for brain activity normalize again. The length of each phase varies depending on the individual and the severity of the seizure episode. An average time period would be 30 minutes for the aura stage, 3 minutes for the seizure, and anywhere from 5 minutes to 5 hours post-seizure. These are the three stages of seizure:  Aura – this is a period of time before the seizure when the animal shows changed behavior Seizure – the fit itself Post-seizure – the pet is recovering from a major electrical storm in the brain and may be confused, bump into things, and appear blind. Many animals that suffer from seizure show subtle signs in the time leading up to a fit. Sometimes you only realize in hindsight that your dog was behaving abnormally, but you can learn to recognize the signs in order to better prepare for an impending seizure.  Signs of aura include: restlessness, pacing, and an inability to settle. It's as if your dog knows something is wrong, but doesn't know what to do, or how to get comfortable. Some dogs become excessively vocal, whining, barking, or crying for no apparent reason. Dogs that are particularly bonded to their owner may become extra clingy, as if seeking comfort, whilst other pets hide away, as if to protect themselves from an unseen threat. If you recognize aura signs, now is the time to give your dog preventative medications such as rectal diazepam. This helps to cancel out the erratic brain activity, and may reduce the likelihood of a seizure occurring. Also, it gives you time to put your pet in a safe environment where he cannot hurt himself during the seizure. Take precautions such as switching off electric heaters, and placing cushions against hard objects such as table legs. During a seizure, your dog will collapse and lie on his side, with all four legs extended, in a rigid posture. The head will be arched back, and the eyes will roll in their sockets. After a few seconds,...

Article in English: Before a storm, ants will build up their mounds and create steep sides. If you see raised ant beds, especially if they were lower before, then there may be a storm coming. When the air pressure falls before a storm, birds feel discomfort in their ears. This causes them to fly lower toward the ground or to perch on lower tree branches or power lines. You may also observe the birds eating ground insects. This behavior suggests that a storm is coming.  If the birds are flying high in the sky, then there will likely be fair weather. If you’re near the sea, look for seagulls perched on the beach, which could indicate that a storm is coming. Watch for large groups of roosting birds. Birds also become quiet before a storm. Singing and chirping birds could indicate good weather. Birds can sense air pressure and will time their migrations to good weather. If you see flocks of birds migrating in the sky, then the weather will likely be good that day. If a storm is going to be short, birds will usually wait for the rain to end before looking for food. If you see birds eating during a storm, then it will likely last for a long time. Birds can sense the pressure patterns, allowing them to predict the weather. Bees and butterflies return to their homes before a storm for safety. In the case of bees, they also work to preserve the hive. If you don’t see any bees and butterflies when you would expect to - such as in a field of flowers - then there may be a storm coming. Cows usually gather together and lie down in their pasture before a rainstorm. This is likely because it cools down before a storm, and cows like to be close to the ground when the weather cools. Cows lying on the ground is an indication that it may rain. This only applies to cows, not other livestock. Snakes will leave their nests before bad weather, even if it’s in the middle of wintertime. Seeing snakes in unexpected places or at a time when the snake would normally be in its nest can be a sign of bad weather.  Snakes can even predict earthquakes. If you...

Article in English: Before a tick is engorged with blood, its body is shaped like an oval with 2 major segments. After a tick is engorged, its head will remain small but its body will grow round and plump. How large a tick is when you find it depends on whether it has recently fed on blood. Before it has drunk any blood, a tick will be around the size of a pinhead. Immediately to several hours afterward, a tick will grow to around the size of a lima bean. In most cases, ticks have a hard exoskeleton. These are called hard or "authentic" ticks and are usually what people are talking about when describing ticks. Soft ticks with a flexible exoskeleton exist but are only found in select areas. Soft ticks are found in the western United States and southwestern Canada. Lone star ticks have a white, star-shaped design on their exoskeletons. If a bug does not have this design, it still may be a tick. This pattern is just a defining feature of this tick species. Black-legged ticks, as suggested by their name, have legs that are darker than their bodies. Like a lone star tick's black legs, this is a defining characteristic of black-legged ticks and may not be present on every tick.

Article in English: Before acting out an emotional scene, take a minute to familiarize yourself with the context of that scene. Understanding what's happening around a scene can help you better understand your character's motivation and emotions.  Read the scene in full. If you have the time, read the full script from which the scene is taken. This will give you a sense of what is at stake in this moment. Consider the character you're playing. What is this character feeling during this scene? How does this character's past, present, and future come into play during the scene? What is the context of this moment? If a character is yelling, arguing, or crying, there was obviously some buildup to this point. Try to look for the complex underlying layers of a character in a dramatic scene. For example, a character may be crying at his father's funeral. He is sad, of course, but there may be other factors at play. What was the character's relationship with his father like? What emotions might the character be experiencing? What memories is he recalling in this scene? For best effects in a dramatic scene, think about character over situation. Audiences are familiar with a variety of sad and dramatic scenarios. What makes a drama interesting is a particular character's reaction to that scenario.  Consider your character's emotional investment in a given moment. If your character is arguing with someone else, why is that character drawn into this argument? What is going on in the character's head on a deeper level?  A good experiment to help can be a free write in which you write from a character's point of view. Try to imagine how that character is feeling in this moment. Pretend you're the character, writing a diary entry after the scene took place. Really dig deep, considering the character's past and present, and try to write how you imagine the character feels. Audiences get bored with drama for the sake of drama. If you can show why this dramatic moment matters, in context of a specific character, this will ground your audience....

Article in English: Before adding anything to alter the soil pH, always make sure to test your soil to see how far it is from your goal pH. You can purchase a test at your local home/garden center or take a sample to your county extension office for professional testing. The pH of your garden soil is easy to determine with a commercial pH testing kit. These are usually sold at hardware stores or garden supply stores and are fairly inexpensive. To begin, you'll want to take a sample from the area you want to test. Dig five small holes (about six to eight inches deep). Select random locations within the plot — this way, you'll get a sense of the "average" pH of your soil. Don't keep any of the dirt from creating the holes. Note that the instructions in this section are generalized — you should use the instructions included with your specific pH testing kit. Next, use your shovel or spade to take a narrow "slice" from the side of each hole. This slice should be crescent-shaped and about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) thick. Try to make your sample about the same size for each hole.  Add your samples to a single clean, dry bucket. Try to gather enough dirt in each sample that you have about a pint (0.94 liters) or more in total. For most methods of testing, this is plenty. Allow your soil to dry until you can no longer detect moisture. It's important to make sure your soil is completely dry before proceeding — moisture can cause an inaccurate pH reading. Depending on the type of kit you have, the method will vary. For many of the most common test kits, you'll put a small amount of your soil in an included test tube, add a few drops of liquid solution, mix by shaking, and allow the mixture to settle for a few hours. Eventually, the color of the solution should change — by comparing the color of the solution to a chart provided with the kit, you can determine the pH of your soil. Other types of kits exist as well, so be sure to use the instructions provided with your kit. For instance, some modern electronic testing kits determine a soil pH almost...

Article in English: Before an interview, you should always take time to research the company. Find out everything you can from the company's website. You can also do an internet news search to see what the company has been up to lately. Don't forget to look at things like the company's mission statement to get an idea about what is valued there. Don't forget to read between the lines. Both mission statements and press releases can be intentionally dense. In mission statements, look for keywords, such as "leading," meaning the company is or wants to be the top in the industry, "innovation or innovative," meaning the company values creative new ideas and products, or "targeted," meaning the company focuses the product within the industry. For press releases, look for the positive spin. That is, the company is always looking to put a positive spin on anything going on with the company. For instance, the company "going a new direction" could mean they had a product flop. That is, when you're researching, don't just look at the mission statement. See if you can figure out what kind of culture the place is creating. Maybe they have a relaxed atmosphere that values creativity. Maybe they prefer a strictly professional atmosphere. You need to know about the culture so you can show how you fit in.  One way to figure out the culture is to look at the social media the company puts out. You may be able to figure out the culture from the way they use language in posts or from pictures they have put up in the past. Another way to figure out the company is to visit the company ahead of time. See if you can walk around to get a sense of how they operate. For instance, many of the new (and even some of the established) social media tech companies are famous for having a laid-back cultures that push innovation through group work. However, if you're going into say, the banking industry, the culture is likely to be more professional. While researching, be sure to take some notes.
