Article in English: If you've never tattooed before, it's probably best to start with a tattoo machine, commonly referred to as a "tattoo gun." These operate via electromagnetic coils, which control an armature bar, moving a grouping of needles up and down rapidly. The needles are dipped in tattooing ink, which is applied under the skin. Tattoo starter kits with sterile supplies are available for around a hundred dollars.  It's true that tattoo machines and supplies cost about the same as getting a small tattoo professionally done at a parlor, making a shop tattoo a much better option if you don't have any work done yet. But if you do, and you're interested in learning on yourself, it's important to invest in a good-quality tattooing machine. If you want to make your own tattoo gun, you can also save a bit of money. If you want to give yourself a stick 'n poke tattoo, without the use of a tattoo gun, check out Give Yourself a Tattoo Without a Gun to learn to minimize the risks associated with this technique. Tattoos should only be made from specialized tattoo ink, or carbon-based India ink. These inks are natural and react gently with your body, making the process safe and sterile. Never use other types of ink for tattoos.  Some people have allergies to specific ink ingredients and pigments, but this is usually only true of colored inks. It's generally not a good idea to start messing around with colors anyway, unless you're an experienced tattoo artist. Never use pen ink or other varieties of ink to make a tattoo, unless you want an infection and terrible-looking art on your body. Do it right. Because the risk of blood-borne infection is much higher in tattoos done outside the parlor, it's absolutely essential that you take your tattoo seriously and only use brand-new, just-out-of-the-package, sterilized supplies to give yourself a tattoo. The best way to get everything you'll need is to invest in a starter kit, again, which are available for about a hundred bucks. To get started, you'll need:  New tattooing needles A...

Article in English: If you've noticed that one or more of your toes are crooked, especially if pain or inflammation is involved, then make an appointment to see your doctor. Your family doctor is well-trained to be able to rule out anything serious (such as a fracture or infection), but remember your family doctor is not joint or foot specialist, so you may need to see a more specialized health professional to get the correct diagnosis.  Your doctor may decide to take an X-ray of your foot to get a better idea of the problem. Your doctor may take blood from you and check your glucose levels because foot problems are common for people with diabetes. Orthopods are joint specialists who correct joint problems via braces, splints, surgery or other invasive methods. You likely won't require surgery for your crooked toe, but your orthopod can correctly diagnose joint problems, evaluate whether arthritis is a factor and prescribe anti-inflammatories or analgesics (painkillers) if needed. Your orthopedist may also want to take an X-ray, bone scan, MRI or diagnostic ultrasound to ascertain and properly diagnose your foot condition. A doctor who specializes in foot problems is called a podiatrist. Podiatrists can perform minor surgeries of the foot, but they usually focus more on foot/arch supports for your shoes (called orthotics), braces and custom made shoes.  A podiatrist is a great source of information on the most appropriate shoes for your feet. Physical therapists, chiropractors and naturopaths may also be good sources of information regarding foot/toe conditions and offer natural, non-invasive treatments.

Article in English: If you've noticed your dog showing common behavioral issues, like pulling on his leash during walks, having bad manners around other dogs and people, or barking and whining, your dog might not understand the rules of how he should behave. Without an established leader, your dog will misbehave, which can cause the behavioral problems. If you take on the role of leader, you can reduce your dog's anxiety and nervousness. Your dog will also be less likely to act out, potentially harming you or others. Fortunately, you can make changes to the social structure of your household no matter how old or young your dog is. To better communicate, realize that your dog tends to live in the present much more than you do. This means your dog is much more comfortable with learning new things or new situations, regardless of any trouble he may have had with them in the past. If you start to think in the present too, you'll understand your dog better. Since dogs don't communicate the same way as humans do, learn to read your dog’s dog body language so you can understand your dog’s state of mind. Your dog should look to you for guidance in certain situations. If your dog usually decides when to use these areas, then the boundaries are not clear within your family. You should also set boundaries by only responding to calm behavior. For example, teach your dog that he will only get his food if he's relaxed, not jumping up on you begging to be fed. Be firm with the boundaries you set. For example, if you never allow your dog to play in a certain room, offer him alternative spaces to play and make sure he never plays in an off-limits area. Bending the rules will only confuse your dog. Don't forget that playtime is important for your dog's mental stability and your relationship with your dog. Part of your job as leader is guiding your dog through life by being a confident, loving, tough, and fair leader. In the wild, leaders enforce rules and boundaries with a calm and assertive energy. Leaders don't bully or use violence to show...

Article in English: If you've only had the dark spots for a month or two, they may be contained within the top few layers of your skin. You might be able to get rid of them by simply exfoliating your face.  Exfoliation is the process of removing the top layer of skin, bringing new skin to the surface.  Find an exfoliating cleanser that contains tiny particles that gently scrub the skin to take off the top layer. You can also make your own by mixing ground raw almonds or ground oatmeal into your regular cleanser. Apply it to the dark spots in a circular motion. Electric exfoliators such as the Clarisonic dig a little deeper than your standard exfoliating cleanser. They work by gently scraping the dead skin cells from your face. After using, clean Clarisonic properly once a week. You can find them online or in drugstores. Try using a cleanser container glycolic or salicylic acid These are available both by prescription and over the counter. They contain alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids or retinoids. The application of these different acids removes the top layer of dead skin cells, allowing fresh cells to grow so that the skin is rejuvenated. These treatments are used to treat hyperpigmentation of all types.  Alpha-hydroxy acids include glycolic acid, mandelic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, and others.  These acids are often derived from produce and other food products.  They exfoliate the skin effectively but are gentle enough for people with sensitive skin.  Alpha-hydroxy acids can be found in serums, creams, moisturizers, and peels. Beta-hydroxy acid is also known as salicylic acid.  It's a common ingredient in over-the-counter acne medications and skin treatments. Salicylic acid can be applied in a cream, serum, cleanser or peel. Retinoic acid is also known as tretinoin, or Retin-A.  Retinoic acid is a form of Vitamin A.  It's a very effective treatment for acne and dark spots.

Article in English: If you've openly discussed marriage, then you can assuage his fears a bit so he sees that he has nothing to be scared about. Maybe he's concerned that once you get married, you'll change somehow, and settle into a comfort zone. Or, is he worried that after tying the knot, he'll be pressured to start a family right away? It could also be that he feels insecure somehow, and his current self-image doesn't match the role he envisioned as a husband.  If he's just worried about the ring or the wedding itself, then you can think of some creative compromises. If he can't afford a ring, can you live without one? If he doesn't want a big wedding, how about eloping or having a small, private ceremony? If he's afraid that marriage will take the luster out of your relationship, have some go-to happily married couples that you both admire that you can point to. If he's a logical thinker, appeal to that part of his brain. Though it may not be the most romantic approach to take, there are some practical benefits of getting married. Practical and legal benefits of marriage include putting your significant other on your insurance plan, being eligible for more government benefits and filing joint income tax returns.   Marriage is also an effective way to make sure your mate is taken care of if you die suddenly. If you are not married, and one of you dies, the other will not inherit anything unless it is spelled out in a will. And even if it is, there will be estate and gift taxes. Also, if you are married you can receive wages, workers' compensation, and retirement plan benefits for a deceased spouse. Though you may not want to go down this morbid line of thinking, it is very logical, and is something to consider -- especially if you've been together for fifteen years and aren't married. If he really sounds like he's unsure about whether he wants to marry you or not, or even says he needs some time to himself to figure some things out, then let him have that time. But make it clear that you're not waiting around forever for him...

Article in English: If you've read any interviews with Megan Fox, you'll know she speaks her mind. Where many more conventional celebrities are prone to censoring themselves, Megan's blunt, no-filter attitude is part of what makes her so alluring. She's garnered a reputation as being someone who says what she's really thinking, even if it might land her into trouble. Try making a habit of saying what's one your mind in social situations, even if it runs the risk of sounding abrupt. The sort of honesty it takes to speak your mind regularly may feel awkward at first, but greater confidence comes with experience and exposure. As well as being outspoken, Megan Fox's personality and behaviour is notably stranger than most of her glamourous contemporaries. Coming across as eccentric ties into honesty; all of us have a strange side to our personality, but most of us have learned to bury that part of ourselves in regular company. Learning to bring that side back out again may take some time, but the striking uniqueness you'll gain from such a development will be will worth the effort. Part of Megan Fox's star-material aura results from her innate oddball character, so don't be afraid to meld some idiosyncrasies in with your own glamorous persona! While certain aspects of personality, like eccentricity, are largely inherent, facets of stardom like learning how to pose can be learned. While the cameras are on her, Megan keeps her smiles mild and seductive. She positions herself to look over the shoulder when photos are being taken of her; this way, her curves are more visible in the photo. Megan also poses with one hand on her hip, with her hip cocked to the side. She also poses with both hands on her hips, or in pant pockets. This further instills a sense of confidence in front of the camera. If you want to look like Megan Fox, you should take time to be comfortable with the way you look and flaunt your best physical characteristics. Even if there aren't paparazzi around to photograph you, the people you meet in day-to-day life will...

Article in English: If you've recently gained an appreciation for Marmite and you're looking to expand your repertoire, try this Marmite-centered sampler dish, which works as a hearty meal on its own and scales easily for larger groups. Start by boiling a few eggs in a pot of water until they're hard boiled. Depending on the size of the eggs, this should take about eight to ten minutes. Run cold water over the eggs after they're done cooking. Cooling them down halts the cooking process and prevents them from overcooking. Next, let's get our vegetables ready for the Marmite. Wash a bell pepper, a handful of cherry tomatoes, a cucumber, a carrot, and a few clumps of broccoli under running water. Cut each into small bite-size pieces. Any shapes that look appealing are fine, but, for efficiency's sake, you'll probably want to julienne your bell pepper (cut it into skinny strips) and take thin circular slices from your cucumber. ake toast. Finally, make a few golden-brown slices of Marmite's most well-known companion dish. You can use white, wheat, or even specialty breads like sourdough and rye here — it's up to you! When the toast is ready, butter it. As noted above, butter and Marmite pair quite well together. Arrange your vegetables, eggs, and toast in a circle around the outside of a large plate. Open a jar of Marmite and place it in the center of the dish. Don't forget to peel your hard-boiled eggs. If you'd like to use them to hold Marmite like crackers, cut the eggs into quarters or eights to make skinny, curved slices. Using a butter knife, put small portions of Marmite on each piece of vegetable or egg before biting in. You can eat the toast without Marmite as a "chaser" to ready your mouth for the next bit piece of Marmite, or, if you're bold, just spread a tiny dollop of Marmite on each piece of bread. If you want to, you can even dip your foods directly into the jar of Marmite. Be careful — it's easy to get more Marmite than you intended this way!

Article in English: If you've seen a moth or two fluttering around but aren't sure if you have an all-out infestation, look for these signs:  Tiny holes in your sweaters or other items of clothing. If you see holes in one sweater, you'll probably find more. Check all of your clothes made with wool, feathers, fur, and silk. Clothing that looks dusty or discolored, or has a musty smell. Webbing in corners of the closet or on clothing. To take care of the immediate problem of moths in your closet, trap them with pheromone moth traps, which attract and kill them with a sticky substance that they can't escape once they touch.  You can make your own moth traps with flypaper and fish oil, which attracts moths. Dab a bit on some flypaper and hang it in your closet.  Traps designed to catch mice are also effective for catching moths. In particular, look for zapper style traps with infrared sensors, as these will sense the moth approaching and zap it when it nears the bait. It's important to wash every item of clothing to get rid of eggs the moths may have laid.  Wash the items according to their care instructions. If possible, put them through a hot dryer. Items that cannot be dried on high heat can be placed in the freezer for a few days to kill any eggs. Wash linens, towels, and any other cloth items stored in your closet. Remove suitcases, bags and other containers, and wash these as well. Now that everything has been removed from your closet, it's time to scour it from top to bottom to get rid of moth eggs that might still be lurking there.  Use soapy water or a vinegar and water solution to clean the closet floor and walls. Dip a sponge scrubber into the solution and scrub the walls to scratch off all the eggs. Clean especially well in cracks and crevices.  Vacuum well. Use a high-powered vacuum to clean the carpet in your closet. While you're at it, vacuum the bedroom area, too, since moths may have laid eggs there.

Article in English: If you've suffered an injury, getting rest is one of the best things you can do. Try to avoid any activities that require using the injured body part or putting weight on that appendage. The duration of rest will vary, but generally speaking it's best to allow the injury to rest for at least one to two days before trying to use or put weight on the injured appendage. Bed rest is one of the best ways to recover from a cold or flu. It helps the body heal at both the molecular and system-wide levels, and should be considered an important part of getting well after an illness. Most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night, but if you're recovering from an illness or injury you may need even more sleep. How much sleep you need is also affected by your age.  Newborns who are under four months old require 14 to 17 hours of sleep each night. Infants (between four and 11 months old) require 12 to 15 hours of sleep each night. Toddlers (one to two years old) require 11 and 14 hours of sleep each night. Preschoolers (between three and five years old) require 10 to 13 hours of sleep each night. Children ages six to 13 require between nine and 11 hours of sleep each night. Teenagers ages 14 to 17 require eight to 10 hours of sleep each night. Adults (ages 18 to 64) require seven to nine hours of sleep each night. Older adults (age 65 and older) require seven to eight hours of sleep each night. If you're feeling sick, injured, or just generally worn out with fatigue, you may need to get a better night's sleep. In addition to getting enough sleep each night, it's important to get quality sleep. Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to ensure a good night's sleep.  Stay on schedule. Try to go to bed at the same time each night, and if you can't sleep after 15 minutes, try getting up and doing something relaxing until you feel sleepy. Staying on a regular sleep schedule can help ensure that you get a good night's sleep every night.  Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. Caffeine and nicotine...

Your analytics tracker can provide you with lots of information about what terms people use to find your site.  If you are using WordPress.com, there is an automated analytics tool through the "Jetpack" program, as well as a more basic reporting tool that appears on your site's main dashboard. If you do not have a website analytics program to analyze your web traffic, start it now. You can sign up for a free account with Google Analytics, post code onto your website and start tracking traffic within 24 hours. Most products list the most popular terms that were used to reach your website. If a keyword brings you traffic, you'll want to keep including it in your SEO and PPC marketing. As you improve your SEO through the use of popular keywords, you can also see how these terms change or searches decrease or increase in popularity.  Your research into popular terms may change the search term listed in this area week by week. As you use hot topic keywords, launch marketing campaigns and use long-tail keywords in your PPC ads, your popular search terms are likely to change. If the search terms listed in this area are extremely general, you can deduce that you have more competition for clicks with that search term. Targeting other keywords or producing higher quality content can improve your search engine ranking.

Article in English: If you've tried and can't remember the password firsthand, it's likely you'll never get it back. Fortunately, that doesn't mean you've lost the associated account. Most sites will have a 'Forgot Password' option available for this very sake. Click this button and follow the steps to reset your password.  If it's a non-email password (like Facebook), resetting a password will be fairly easy. An automated confirmation will be sent to your email, from which you'll reset your password and start a new one. Some email services (like Hotmail) offer the possibility of connecting them with another email account for the sake of password resetting. If you have another email account and have done this, resetting the password will be just as easy as it would be with any other non-email account. If it's an email account you're trying to access, and you haven't connected it with a separate email address, your other option of resetting the password is by answering your listed secret questions. Many email accounts will get you to answer personal questions (e.g. the name of your first pet) as a contingency if you end up forgetting your password later on. Click on the 'Forgot My Password' button and answer questions wherever prompted.   While this won't bring you back your password, it stands a good chance of helping you reclaim your password. Unfortunately, many people don't take secret questions seriously, and some may forget their answers sooner than the passwords themselves! While contacting the company that hosts your account won't help you get your password back, the company may be able to help you regain access by resetting the password. While you'll have to deliver certain proof of your identity, some services will allow you to reclaim use of your account through calling or messaging them. Keep in mind that the process of verification can take a while even in the best circumstances, so patience is a must should you decide to take this route.

Article in English: If your Braxton Hicks contractions are making you uncomfortable, moving will often make them go away. If you have been walking, taking some time to sit might also stop them. Getting a massage, taking a bath, or just taking some much-needed rest time can help soothe your contractions. Reading, listening to music, or napping can all be helpful. If you can sleep through your contractions, then they are probably not labor contractions. Braxton Hicks are a healthy exercise your uterus does to prepare for labor. They occur naturally, but some pregnant people find them to be triggered by particular activities. You might experience a Braxton Hicks after exercise or strenuous activity. Some are triggered by sex or orgasm. Some people experience Braxton Hicks when they are overtired or dehydrated.  Learning your triggers can help you recognize a Braxton Hicks contraction when it comes. Braxton Hicks do not need to be prevented, but they can be a good reminder to drink water and get rest.

Article in English: If your Cockatiel is a hand-fed baby, this can be as short as a few hours. Unsocialized babies, however, will usually need two or three days to get used to their new surroundings. During the adjustment period, do not handle the bird, but do cleaning and feeding routines and talk softly with the bird. Bird pellets should make up about 40% of your Cockatiel's diet. Seed can make a good treat, but don't feed it in excess as it's too fatty. You should also feed your Cockatiel healthy vegetables (vegetables should be most of your birds' diet) and sometimes fruit; well-cooked beans,  and spaghetti are examples of tasty treats you can give your Cockatiel. When you choose fruits and vegetables to feed, organic ones are recommended. You should also thoroughly rinse off uncooked fruit and vegetables before feeding.    Do not feed your Cockatiel avocados, chocolate, alcohol, onions, mushrooms, tomato leaves, caffeine, or uncooked beans, as these are toxic. Very sugary or fatty foods such as candy bars are also not healthy for Cockatiels. Remove any uneaten fresh food from the cage within four hours or else it could attract harmful bacteria (and will just make a mess.) You should change your bird’s water daily. You should also change it when you notice that food or droppings have gotten into it. You should give your bird water that you yourself would drink. When washing the water bowl, make sure to use hot water with a bit of soap and rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of soap. Doing this will ensure that harmful algae or fungus doesn’t begin to grow. If your Cockatiel is already tame (or you have already tamed and trained it--see Part Two,) you will need to spend at least 4 hours a day and more with it to keep it tame and friendly. Unless you purchase a bird "diaper," you may want to interact with the bird on a chair covered with a towel, or in a room with an easy-to-clean floor. You might feel hurt or upset when your Cockatiel bites, but it's important to realize that birds bite because they are reacting to a...

Article in English: If your French bulldog is young, keep training sessions to about 5 minutes, increasing the time if your dog is older. Plan on doing 3 to 5 training sessions a day. Try to pick times when your dog isn't hungry or tired so your dog will be more focused on learning. Be consistent and patient with your dog. The lessons should build on each other, so start with simpler commands before moving on to commands that require your dog to know additional commands. This command will come in useful when you need to teach your dog not to bite or chew (natural tendencies for younger dogs). If your dog bites or nips you or you see your dog chewing, tap its nose lightly and say, "No bite" or "No chew." Remove your hand from your dog's mouth and replace it with a toy. Giving an acceptable chew toy will distract your dog and teach it what is appropriate to chew. Have your dog stand in front of you and place a treat in your hand so your dog can see it in your palm. Firmly say, "sit" in a friendly voice while you push your dog's bottom down until your dog sits. Give your dog the treat immediately and tell it good job. Repeat this process by stepping away from your dog. Turn to face your dog and tell it to sit. Keep pushing down your dog's bottom and praising it as you did before until your dog sits on its own. Place your dog in a sit position while you put a treat in your hand. Make sure your dog knows you have the treat in your hand and put your hand near its nose. Move your hand to the floor while you say "down" or "lay down." Your dog will follow your hand to the floor by starting to lay down. As soon as your dog does (or tries), give the treat and praise. Practice this command until your dog goes down consistently. If your young dog jumps to your attention or while playing, keep your dog on a leash to correct its behavior. As your dog starts to jump, command your dog to "sit" and reward. Your dog will learn not to jump on people. Have your dog sit and praise your dog when your dog obeys.

Article in English: If your SHBG level is too high, that is generally an indicator that your testosterone is too low. Symptoms can include low libido, erectile dysfunction (in males), hot flashes, and loss of body hair. Additional symptoms include poor concentration, insomnia, moodiness, and loss of energy. There’s no need to worry about an invasive procedure. Your doctor can test your levels with a simple blood test. Since testosterone levels are at their highest in the morning, your doctor will likely have your blood drawn between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. SHBG levels can be misleading. If they are high, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you don’t have enough free testosterone. Talk to your doctor about what various results can mean. It is likely that your doctor will run the test more than once. Listen carefully when they explain their findings and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Certain prescription medications have been shown to increase SHBG levels. If your doctor recommends lowering your SHBG levels, you should go over your list of current medications together. Some medications that can raise SHBG levels are:  Raloxifene  Tamoxifen  Spironolactone  Metformin There’s some debate over whether it is actually safe and effective to treat low testosterone. In some cases, your doctor may advise a course of non-action. If they do recommend treatment, discuss dietary changes and supplements. If they recommend medication, make sure to ask about possible side effects or reactions.

Article in English: If your SHBG levels are too high, it’s possible that you are not eating enough protein. Talk to your doctor about the right amount of protein for you.  The average adult should consume 0.8 g of protein for every kilogram of body weight . For example, if you weigh 165 lbs you should consume 60 grams of protein a day. Make sure that you consume healthy sources of protein.  Too much protein is not good for your body, but you may require more protein if you exercise regularly. Make sure to talk to your doctor before making any major dietary changes. Drinking too much alcohol can cause your SHBG levels to rise. Binge drinking in particular can prevent you from lowering your levels. Moderate drinking guidelines allow for 1 drink per day for women, and up to 2 drinks per day for men. Examples of 1 drink include 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, and 1.5 ounces of distilled liquor, such as vodka. Too much caffeine can limit your ability to lower your SHBG levels. If you’re enjoying too much coffee in the morning, you’ll want to cut back. It is generally considered safe for adults to consume up to 400 mg of caffeine per day. That is the equivalent of about 4 cups of coffee. Consider drinking green tea instead of coffee in the morning. There is some debate about how carbohydrate consumption relates to your SHBG levels. Some recommend going low-carb, while others promote eating plenty of healthy carbs. It’s a safe bet to assume that switching out simple carbs for more complex ones will benefit your health.  Cut out carbs such as white rice, potatoes, and white bread.  Look for high fiber low-glycemic index foods instead, such as quinoa, sweet potatoes, and whole-grain bread.  Consult your doctor before making any drastic changes to your diet.

Article in English: If your Stargazer lily has been an indoor plant up to this point, you can still move it outdoors and expect it to thrive. Choose a sunny spot if possible, although these lilies will tolerate a patch of garden that is in shade for part of the day. Stargazers aren't too fussy about the soil type but they prefer a well-drained soil. If your garden soil retains puddles easily, you may like to incorporate some compost or organic matter such as well-rotted manure into the ground to improve the drainage. The further ahead of planting you can do this, the better. It’s best to transplant an indoor Stargazer to the outdoors in the springtime, however you can do this at any time in the growing season from spring to late autumn. Remove the plant from its container being careful not to damage the roots or bulb. Make a hole around 5 inches (12.7 cm) deep and at least twice the width of your bulb.  If you’re planting more than one Stargazer lily, they should be spaced about 10 inches (25.4 cm) apart. Place the plant in the hole and cover the bulbs with soil. Water well and apply a layer of mulch (grass clippings, straw or bark chips work well). If you’re in a climate which experiences cold, wet winters you might want to protect your Stargazer lily over the winter months by mulching, cloche protection or moving it back indoors over the winter. If you choose to move your plant indoors for the winter, you may find Method 1 helpful when it comes time to replant your stargazer lily.

Article in English: If your Sweet William plants are cared for correctly, and the variety is suited to the climate, there's a good chance they will seed your garden with a new generation before dying. If you want a wide scattering of Sweet William plants in your garden, simply let the flowers mature, die, and drop seeds on their own. Be aware that some flower varieties are hybrids of multiple plants, and may produce seeds that grow into plants with different appearance or characteristics than the parent plant. In mid to late summer, after the flowers die, they will form dry, brown seed pods. Remove these once the pods are opening up at the end, about to release the seeds. Shake these pods into a container to get out the black, disc-shaped seeds for planting in fall or spring. Once the seeds have dropped, or after you have harvested them yourself, cut the seed pods off at the stem. Usually, the Sweet William plants will have expended too much energy producing seeds to continue growing another year, but removing the pods will increase the chance of another bloom. If you are lucky enough to have a Sweet William which survives more than a year or two, it may become quite large. In autumn or early spring, before much growth has started for the season, cut off one of the larger stems from near the base using a clean knife or shears. These cuttings can be planted to form new plants, although you may need to stake them to keep them upright. Newly planted cuttings take time to form roots. Keep them in a warm, moist area away from direct sunlight to prevent them drying out while this happens. A few days underneath a transparent plastic bag or container may help create the moist conditions it needs.

Article in English: If your TV has HDMI but your gaming system, computer, or other gadget does not, you can usually still connect with an adapter that converts an existing port to HDMI Type A (standard). You can find HDMI adapters/cables for the following port types:   DisplayPort: This type of port supports both digital audio and high-resolution video when converted to HDMI. Look for ports labeled "DP" or "DisplayPort". If you have a DisplayPort on your laptop or tablet, you'll need a DisplayPort-to-HDMI-A cable or adapter.Some devices, including the Microsoft Surface, have a DisplayPort Mini port rather than the standard size. You'll need a DisplayPort Mini-to-HDMI-A cable or adapter in this case.   DVI: DVI outputs do not transmit audio, but you can get high-quality video using a DVI-to-HDMI-A cable or adapter. Note that there are different DVI port sizes, so you'll need to make sure you get the right cable. Count the number of pins in your DVI port and compare it to available cables and adapters.  VGA: If you have an old-school VGA port, you won't get the best picture quality on your TV, and definitely no audio. However, you can still connect the device using a VGA-to-HDMI-A converter or adapter. Most modern TVs have at least one full-size (Type A) HDMI port, which is 13.9 mm x 4.45 mm in size. You can usually find a cable that has an HDMI-A plug on one side and a DVI, DisplayPort, or VGA plug on the other. You'll just need to make sure the non-HDMI size matches up exactly with the port on your device. Another option is to purchase a smaller adapter/converter. With an adapter, you'd plug a standard HDMI cable into the HDMI end, and a standard DVI, DisplayPort, or VGA cable into the other side. This means you'd need two different types of cables plugged into one adapter. The HDMI cable must also be long enough to reach from the device to the TV. Choose a cord that is slightly longer than necessary to minimize the strain on the cord and both devices. Turn on the TV if you haven't already done so, and then connect the cable...

Article in English: If your acne does not respond to over-the-counter medications, see a dermatologist about prescription creams. The ingredients are generally stronger and may help clear up your acne faster than drugstore brands.  Retinoids come in the form of gels, powders, and creams. They are derived from vitamin A and add nutrients to the skin that can eliminate acne. Retinoids are applied three times a week in the evening. If you need to use retinoids for an extended period, you'll eventually move up to using them once at night. Note that there is a retinoid cream called Differin gel (adapalene gel) that is now available over-the-counter. It is a little more gentle than other retinoids. Antibiotic creams kill bacteria and reduce redness in the skin. Usually, antibiotic creams are used in conjunction with retinoids or benzoyl peroxide. You would apply antibiotics in the morning and retinoids at night. The combination may clear up mild acne faster, so ask your dermatologist about using both if you're interested in fast cures.  Dapsone is a gel that is sometimes prescribed with retinoids. It may cause redness and dryness, however. If you're trying to clear up acne fast for a big event, you may want to consider other methods. Dapsone gel is not recommended to be used with benzoyl peroxide, due to the possibility of causing a yellow or orange discoloration of the skin. If you're female and frequently break out with mild acne, you might want to talk to a doctor about oral contraceptives. The hormones found in most oral birth controls can help prevent acne.  Combined oral contraceptives contain estrogen and progesterone, and these hormones combined can prevent acne. While this might not help clear up acne fast, it's worth looking into if you're looking for a long-term solution.  Such products may cause headaches, breast tenderness, mood swings, and spotting between periods. For most women, side effects taper off within the first three months.  If oral contraceptives do not work, consider an antiandrogen agent as a possibility....

Article in English: If your acrylic tub is heavily stained or dirty, consider filling the tub with hot water and vinegar. This will help loosen the dirt and grime before you clean the tub. Fill the tub with hot water and pour in 2 cups (470 mL) of vinegar. Let it sit for about 15 minutes and then drain the tub. The acid in the vinegar will help loosen the dirt without damaging the acrylic tub. Sprinkle baking soda all over the tub while it's still wet. If you didn't fill the tub with hot water and vinegar, just pour or spray water along the inside and sides of the tub. Let the baking soda sit on the tub for a few minutes.  The baking soda can clean mold, mildew, and soap scum. It's also gentle to use on the acrylic tub. For a stronger cleanser, you could use borax instead of baking soda. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into water and scrub the baking soda in the tub. The baking soda will form a bit of a paste as you clean the tub. Ensure that you're using a non-abrasive sponge or you may scratch the acrylic tub. Gently scrub the entire tub. Avoid using scrubbers or sponges that have a rough side designed for heavy-duty cleaning. Instead, look for a gentle sponge or just use a soft cloth. If you have hard to reach edges or places where the tub meets fixtures (like the faucets), get an old toothbrush and scrub the spots. The toothbrush will be gentle enough to remove tough dirt and grime. You can also use a long-handled scrub brush, as long as the bristles are soft. Fill a bucket with water and pour it over the tub to rinse away the baking soda and dirt. Continue rinsing until the tub is clean. If you notice stains, rub half of a lemon over the stains until they lift. Rinse the stains with water and wipe them dry with a soft cloth. Lemon works well for removing hard-water deposits.

Article in English: If your adult child is willing to talk with you in person, get together in a public place for a meal. Sharing a meal in public is a good idea, as you will be more likely to hold your emotions in check, and sharing a meal with someone is an act of building community. Make sure it is just the two of you meeting. Do not bring your spouse or other supportive person along. It may give your son or daughter the sense that they are being ganged up on. Listen to your child’s concerns without arguing against them or becoming defensive. They may also come to your meeting expecting an apology right away. If you sense that is the case, do so. It may be helpful to start off your meeting with an apology to let your adult child know that you understand that you caused them pain, and give them a sense of “leveling the playing field.” Once you apologize, you could ask your child to tell you more about what they have been feeling. Remember that their point of view is valid, even if you disagree with it. Healing can occur when a person feels listened to and understood, and you remain open to their perspective.  Listening without judgment and defensiveness allows a person to be honest in their responses. What you hear may be extremely hurtful to you, but understand that your child probably needs to say it and get their feelings out. You could say, “I feel so terrible that I made you feel this way, and I want to understand. Can you tell me more?” Understand that you can’t get far in reconciliation without acknowledging how you may have contributed to problem. Adult children want their parents to take responsibility for their actions. Be willing to do so, whether or not you believe you are/were wrong.  While you may not understand why your son or daughter is upset with you, recognize that they are. Don’t try to defend your behavior. Listen instead, and apologize for causing them pain.  Try to understand where your child is coming from. Showing empathy doesn’t mean you agree with someone, just that you understand their perspective....

Article in English: If your area doesn't get 60–150 in (150–380 cm) of rain per year or constant temperatures above 45 °F (7 °C), consider planting your durian inside in a 5 US gal (19 l) pot. Be sure to layer the bottom of the pot with pebbles to allow better drainage. When planting indoors, use a mix of 1 part potting soil and 1 part organic compost. This will ensure that your soil drains quickly enough for the durian tree to not drown or rot in standing water. Put your seeds in a plastic bag with a soaked paper towel and seal the bag. This will allow the bag to develop condensation, which will keep the seeds moist and more likely to germinate. Try a windowsill or outside: the point is to get heat into the bag so that the water in the paper towel will evaporate, creating a water cycle that will nourish the seed. If you can't keep your seeds on a windowsill or outside, try keeping them under a grow light. After 4-5 days, the durian seeds should be growing roots. Look for small yellow or brown tendrils coming out of the seeds and plant them when the roots are longer than the seed itself. Gently push the seeds down onto the soil, but don't push them all the way in. Durian plants root themselves by standing up on top of the soil, so make sure you leave the majority of the seeds above the soil line. Make your durian tree is receiving 4–6 L (1.1–1.6 US gal) of water a day. Spread this water out between the morning and the afternoon. Once your durian tree starts producing fruit, increase this to 6–8 L (1.6–2.1 US gal). A durian tree's native environment stays around 75–85 °F (24–29 °C), so if you want your plant to thrive, you should mimic that environment.  Remember that durian plants can wither and die in temperatures below 45 °F (7 °C).

Article in English: If your article doesn’t start on an interesting note, readers are likely to scroll on by. Take some time crafting a short intro that will grab your reader’s attention. It could include a question or an interesting fact. Just make sure it introduces your topic. You could write something like, “Are you tired of tasteless turkey on Thanksgiving? Spice up your holiday menu by introducing some bold new flavors!” You don’t want to lose your reader after you’ve hooked them. Since long, dense paragraphs can look overwhelming, it’s a good idea to keep them on the shorter side. Paragraphs of about 3-4 sentences look visually appealing and can keep your reader interested. Make sure to only include 1 idea in each paragraph so that your reader can more easily absorb the information. For example, don’t try to talk about side dishes and table decor in 1 paragraph. Those are 2 separate ideas. Add some life to your article by including some interesting facts or a touching story. If you just state your opinion or a list of instructions, that probably won’t be very interesting. If you’re writing an article about zoning laws in your town, you could interview a small business owner and write about how the changes could impact them. For your Thanksgiving article, you could write about certain foods that remind you of the Thanksgiving you celebrated while studying abroad. Interesting stories are great, but you need to also include useful information. Look back over your research notes and choose the most relevant information. For example, if you're writing about Thanksgiving dinner, don't forget to include tips on what to serve, how long it will take, and how to make each item. Don't feel like you have to include everything, though. Use discretion and make good choices. You don't need to give recipes for 5 different types of pie. Make sure to cite your sources!  Don’t just tell your readers about how much you love serving a vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner. Give them concrete examples of how they can wow their guests. Leave out any...

Article in English: If your attorney mishandled your case, completely stopped communicating with you or made a serious mistake, you might want to file a complaint with the entity that oversees the practice of law in your state. Filing a complaint will start a process in which the attorney's work is reviewed by a disciplinary board. If the complaint is found to be valid, the attorney may have to appear at a hearing. Depending on the nature of the complaint, the attorney may end up with a fine or even a revoked attorney's license.  The process for filing a complaint differs by state. Contact your state's bar association or disciplinary board to find out more about the process you need to take. If your aim is to receive damages you believe you're owed as result of your attorney's mishandling of your case, you should  sue for malpractice instead of filing a complaint. In order to sue for malpractice, you have to be able to prove that 1. Your attorney made a mistake, and 2. If your attorney hadn't made the mistake, you would have won your case. Even if it's clear that your attorney messed up, you won't have a case unless you can show that it directly affected the outcome of your case and resulted in your losing money.  If you want to sue for malpractice, make sure you have a new, trustworthy attorney to help you navigate the process. Be sure to start the lawsuit as soon as possible, since a common argument made by attorneys who are being sued for malpractice is that the client waited too long to start the lawsuit.

Article in English: If your axolotls breed, remove the babies from the tank using a net and place them in a separate aquarium. Older axolotls may prey on younger ones, so it's not safe to keep axolotls of different ages in a tank together. Axolotls are best kept in their own tank, but occasionally can do well with another axolotl of a similar size and age. However, they will prey on other types of fish or marine life. In general, an axolotl tank should only contain axolotls. Axolotls are not people-friendly pets. They do not need human contact to be happy and, in fact, this may stress them out. Only handle an axolotl when necessary, such as when removing babies from a tank. Axolotls may also nip if handled.

Article in English: If your baby eats more than once during the middle of the night, you will need to drop night feedings one by one. Do not attempt to drop all night feeds at the same time. There's no definitively right way to choose which feeding to start with, but generally, it works well if you start with the middle feeding and gradually work your way outward. If your baby eats three times during the middle of the night, stop the second feed first, then the first feed, and then the last feed. Regardless of how you've been feeding baby at night until now, you should minimize possible sources of distraction and stimulation as much as possible. Keep your baby calm and tired to help him or her ease back into sleep more smoothly.  Dim the lights as much as possible. Use the lowest light setting you feel comfortable moving around in. Do not hold conversations, turn on the television, or turn on the radio while feeding your baby. The noise can make your baby too excited to fall back asleep. Only change your baby if absolutely necessary. Feel the outside of the diaper or peak into it instead of removing it completely. If it's cold and wet, or if there is something solid in the diaper, a change will be necessary. Any diaper changes should be done in the middle of a feeding instead of the end. If your baby is bottle fed, you'll need to decrease the amount of formula/milk you put in the bottle during the feeding. If your baby is breastfed, you'll need to decrease the amount of time you allow your baby to feed.  For breastfed babies, time the length of your average night feed before you begin weaning your baby. Once you know the average length of time, reduce that amount by two to five minutes every other night. If your baby usually eats for 20 minutes, reduce that amount to 17 minutes or so for two nights, then 14 minutes for two nights, and 11 minutes for another two nights. Continue along this pattern.  For bottle-fed babies, simply cut down the volume of milk by about 1 oz (30 ml) every other night. If your baby usually drinks 6 oz...

Article in English: If your baby has ringworm, you should clean all the surfaces in your house. This includes floors, counters, and cabinets. You should also disinfect the things that your baby touches often, like walkers, strollers, car seats, high chairs, and even toys.  Try using a disinfectant, like Lysol, or another safe cleanser that will get rid of fungi or that has antifungal properties. If your baby has ringworm on the scalp, you want to make sure to disinfect or toss out any items that come in contact with her hair or head. This includes combs, brushes, hair bows, headbands, or hats.  To avoid ringworm, discourage any sharing of hair or head items with children who are not family members. You should also wash and sanitize any towels you use to dry your baby’s hair or head. Wash the child’s bedding in hot water to get rid of any fungus that may have been transferred. If your baby goes to daycare, you should contact the daycare to let them know about your baby’s ringworm infection. The baby may have gotten the infection at the daycare and may potentially spread the ringworm to other children. Talk to the daycare about the measures you are taking to treat the ringworm. If you believe your baby got ringworm at daycare, you may want to discuss with the child care providers what measures they are taking to ensure that your baby stays safe. If you think your baby may have gotten ringworm from a pet, you should take your pet to the vet. Both dogs and cats may transfer ringworm to a human. You should take your dog or cat to the vet to get him checked out for any ringworm infection, and then treat the pet if he is infected. If your baby got ringworm from an animal, she will not be able to transfer it to another human because it is a different type of ringworm. Ringworm is most commonly spread through direct contact with an infected person. This is why it is less common in babies than school children; however, your baby can catch ringworm by interacting with other children with ringworm. He may also catch it by crawling across or...

Article in English: If your baby has ringworm, your doctor will more than likely suggest an over-the-counter antifungal cream. This will help to kill the fungus causing the rash. Common brands of creams include Lamisil, Micatin, and Lotrimin. You can spread the cream over the rash. Make sure to spread at least one inch beyond the edge of the rash spot.  Use the cream twice a day. Make sure to keep using the cream for a week after the rash has cleared up or until your doctor tells you to stop. It usually takes two to three weeks to completely clear up. Make sure to wear gloves when you apply the cream. This will minimize your chance of catching ringworm or spreading it to other family members. If you don't wear gloves, wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying the cream — including under the nails. You may also use antifungal lotions or powders. Scalp ringworm can be a lot more difficult to get rid of than ringworm on other parts of the body. If your baby has ringworm on the scalp, your doctor will probably prescribe something stronger than over-the-counter creams. The child will usually be prescribed an oral antifungal, which may be administered for four to eight weeks. The doctor will probably also give you a special shampoo to wash your baby’s hair with to help get rid of the fungus and reduce contagiousness. Garlic has antifungal properties that can help treat the fungus responsible for ringworm. You can make a paste with crushed, raw garlic to spread over the rash. Crush two cloves of garlic and mix it with a carrier oil, like almond oil. Spread this paste onto the rash. Let it sit for 10 minutes before washing it off with warm water.  You can do this two times a day. You can also use garlic oil. Add two to three drops of garlic oil to four tablespoons of almond oil. Apply the mixture on the rash. Leave for 10 minutes, and then rinse with warm water. You can do this two times a day. Make sure to test any paste or oil mixture on a small patch of your baby’s skin before using it. Your baby’s skin may too sensitive...

Article in English: If your baby is having trouble sleeping at night because of teeth pain, try to keep up with his normal routine. Picking up your baby or changing the routine may disrupt his normal sleep patterns or make him more dependent on you. Before picking up your baby, decide if it’s needed or if you need to just soothe him back to sleep.  Teething can go on for around two years. Continue sleep training the baby while he is teething. You may need to adjust it slightly the few days around when the tooth breaks free from the gum. One way to help get your baby to sleep is to sing to him. Sing in a quiet, low key. Move around with your baby to gently rock him to sleep. This is soothing and can help calm your baby. You can also take your baby for a drive, which can soothe him to sleep. If singing doesn't help in the middle of the night, try rocking your baby back to sleep. Sit down in a rocker or walk around the room holding your baby. This gentle motion and closeness to you can help you fall asleep when he is fussy because of teething. In order to signal sleep time for your child, make sure you follow a bedtime routine. This can include a warm bath, a gentle massage, story time, or putting on his pajamas. These activities will start to signal that it is bedtime and help him sleep better. If he wakes up in the middle of the night, it might help to redo some of these activities to help him move towards sleep again. If you are breastfeeding, this is one of the best ways to get your baby some comfort and get him to sleep. To avoid your baby gnawing on your nipples, try massaging your baby’s gums before nursing. Stop when your baby seems calmer or has fallen asleep. One way to help a teething baby sleep is to promote a calm, sleeping environment. If the baby is extra fussy because teeth are about to break through the gums, the house should be calm during the day and the night to help keep the baby calm.

Article in English: If your bathroom has a vanity-style base cabinet, remove the fronts to create open shelves. Now, you can fill up the space with trays, baskets, or plastic containers that provide easier access to your toiletries. Label the containers to make things easier to find. Purchase labels and tag each container with different categories, like "Hair Spray," "Bath and Shower," and "Scrubs and Sponges." Purchase a two-tiered rollout shelf from a local home hardware store. The region under your sink often turns into a cluttered mess, but a pullout shelf can really help you make the most of the space by giving it some organization.  Try and find one with a narrow top shelf so that it easily glides by the plumbing. A wide bottom shelf is ideal because it leaves room for tall items like brushes, straighteners, and cleaning products. Purchase some adhesive lights to light up every corner. and adhesive containers onto the door. A knife holder can help you use your cabinet door to maximize space by providing room for bobby pins and metal nail tools. Apply adhesives (such as command strips) to the back of the knife holder and stick it to one side of the cabinet door. Stick your adhesive containers on the other side of the door and use them to hold smaller items like makeup and nail polish. Be careful if you attach scissors and trimmers onto your magnet holder, especially when you're opening the cabinet door. Place the trays into your drawers next to your towels and other small items. This is a cheap and simple way to get your lotions, lips balms, and other small essentials organized—even just one try per drawer is enough to make a difference. Put a liner on the bottom of the drawer if you want to spice things up. For example, a herringbone liner makes a great match for a white party dip tray. Experiment with different kinds of colors and combinations. Also known as a Lazy Susan, these can make hard-to-reach items more accessible.

Article in English: If your bathroom is already painted or tiled, there are certain bath towel colors that will automatically work with your current color scheme. If your bathroom is painted gray, try adding canary yellow bath towels.  If your bathroom is black and white, add pink towels for a feminine flair. If your bathroom is purple, add towels in a chocolate brown color to bring some warmth to the room. If your bathroom has a coastal or nautical theme, opt for towels in light blue or seafoam green. Small bathrooms can easily look cramped and your colored bath towels can make a small bathroom look even smaller. If you have a small bathroom, stick with neutral shades for your towels; they’ll make your bathroom appear bigger and more open. If you have a smaller bathroom, you may need smaller towels. Bath sheets (oversized bath towels) typically won’t fit on the hooks in small bathrooms, so buy bath towels instead. If you’re decorating a beach house bathroom, look for towels with a palm tree or seashell pattern. If you’re decorating a bathroom with Spanish tile, use lots of earth and jewel tones. Use your towels to support the design that already exists within the house.  If you’re unsure whether a pattern will go with your already existing décor, it’s better to be too subtle than too bold. Make sure to save receipts for all towel purchases, in case you don’t like the way your towels look in the space. The Internet is the perfect place to look for bathroom decorating ideas. Check out Pinterest for inspirational bathroom looks, or look on store websites to see which towels they recommend pairing together.  Remember, your towels should complement the bathroom you already have. Don’t buy towels just because they looked good in someone else’s bathroom; they will not look the same in yours. Design sites like Apartment Therapy and Houzz are also good resources for finding inspiration and sharing your work with others.

Article in English: If your battleships are touching, there is a chance that your opponent may sink two ships back to back. To reduce your opponent's chances of finding a second battleship after hitting one, some players suggest spacing your battleships out so that they do not touch. Try to keep one or two spaces between each of your battleships to reduce the chances of your opponent finding one of your battleships. Even though having your battleships right next to each other is seen as a weakness by some players, other players see this as a potential strategy. By placing two ships so that they are touching, but not overlapping, you may be able to confuse your opponent about the type of ship they have just sunk. Keep in mind that placing ships close together can work in your favor, but it can also be a risky strategy since it may lead to your opponent discovering one or more of your other ships. If you play with the same opponent often, another way that you can improve your chances of winning is to place ships where your opponent seldom strikes. Keep a mental record of the spaces your opponent strikes most often and avoid these zones. For example, does your opponent tend to start their strikes on the right side of the board, to the center or in the lower left corner? Identify your opponent's most common strike areas and avoid placing your ships in these zones.

Article in English: If your beef is too lean, it won't cook up well as a burger. Avoid anything that's 90% or above, for instance. If you want to go a little leaner, 85/15 will work, but 80/20 is a better option. Try buying beef that's freshly ground at the butcher counter for the best quality. If you can, use a kitchen scale to quickly measure them out. Otherwise, estimate the patty size based on the amount of meat you have. For instance, if you have 1.5 pounds (0.68 kg) of meat, you can make about 4 portions. Cover the patties up, and let them chill. Chilling the patties helps them stay together better when you cook them, and the center won't cook as quickly. Don't leave the patties out at room temperature, as that can encourage bacteria to grow.

Article in English: If your bestie is obsessed with beaded purses and you yawn at the sight of them, share your feelings.  You don’t always have to love the same things. Being genuine about your likes and dislikes, though, could prevent resentments from building over time. Just make sure that you share your preferences in a polite way. For example, you might say something like, “Beaded purses are so you and you make them look great! I prefer non-beaded purses.” It's important to stay in touch with your girlfriends often, but in an appropriate way. Periodically texting, tweeting and talking on the phone are great for everyday communication in addition to face to face conversations.  Judge your means of communication on the type of communication, however. Twitter is fun, but not the best tool for carrying on a serious conversation. Some ways to keep the lines of contact open include:  Sending a “Good morning” text to brighten a friend's day Checking in after stressful experiences such as tests or doctors' appointments Returning messages promptly, even if it's just to say "I can't talk right now; call you later!" Reaching out to make meeting plans If the only time you hang out is during class or on lunch break, you need to schedule some ‘we’ time, stat!  Relationships are built on shared experiences. If you’re never even in the same zip code, however, disagreements will grow while your friendship withers. A few fun hangout ideas include:  Arranging to get a pedicure together Going to see a movie Working out at the gym or going for a jog Is your friend's new haircut horrible? If she loves it then you'd be better off withholding your two cents.  Supporting your pals even when they've made questionable choices is part of being a true friend. Offering your opinion, especially when your friend hasn't asked for it, creates a situation where the other person can feel unduly criticized and judged.

Article in English: If your bike has a quick-release front wheel, remove it and place it next to the rear wheel for locking. If you can't remove your front wheel, or your U lock is not large enough to encompass both wheels, secure the rear wheel then continue reading for alternatives. Using a "D" or "U" lock, secure the back end of your bike to another object. Place the "U" section of your lock around the rim of your rear wheel, your unattached front wheel, your rear frame, and the immovable object, then attach the straight bar to ends of the "U" to lock it.  See Using Decent Locks for advice on U locks, and Selecting a Lock Location for how to select an object to secure your bike to. If your U lock is too small to fit around every object, use it on just the rear wheel and stationary object but place it "inside" the triangle made by the three rear sections of the bike's frame. This makes it impossible to pull the frame away from the wheel. This is usually enough to deter a thief, since he would have to destroy the valuable rear wheel to take the bike.  Do not attach your U-lock to the crossbar (or "top tube") of the bike. This is the horizontal or down-sloping bar between the seat and the handlebars. This makes it easy for thieves to use the bike frame as leverage to attempt to break the lock. The front wheel is less valuable than the rear, but some level of security should still be used or even an opportunistic passerby could steal the wheel.  You can loop a cable lock around the front wheel and the bike frame, and optionally around the rear wheel as well if the cable is long enough. Lock the cable together using its built in lock or a padlock. For greater security, use a second U-lock instead to secure the front wheel to its frame. Bags, baskets, lights, reflectors, bells, and anything else that can be removed should be taken with you or secured with their own cable lock. Use a D lock on rear wheel, through frame and an immovable object. Secure the front wheel using one end of the cable by pushing it through. Push a loop of...

Article in English: If your biological parents both know their blood type, that narrows down the possibilities. In most cases this is only enough to guess, using an online blood type calculator or the following list: If your physician already has your blood type on file, then you just need to ask. However, they will only have your record on file if you've already had your blood drawn and/or tested. Common reasons why you may have already had your blood type tested include:  Pregnancy Surgery Organ donations Blood transfusion If you don't want to visit a doctor or donate blood, you can find a home test kit online or at a pharmacy for as little as US $10. These typically instruct you to dampen various labeled patches on a special card, then prick your finger and add a little blood to each patch. Make sure to follow the kit instructions when adding the blood. Note which patches (or vials of fluid, in some kits) cause the blood to clump (agglutinate) instead of spreading out. The clumping is a reaction to substances incompatible with your blood type. Once you've completed the test with all cards or fluids, look up your blood type using the kit instructions or the following list:

Article in English: If your blinds have just a thin layer of dust, a feather duster will be sufficient to clean them. Open the blinds and run a feather duster between each blind, to pick up the dust on both sides. If you're looking for a method that will let you clean in hard-to-reach corners, find an old sock or glove and put it on your hand. Spray Windex on a section of the blinds and run your covered hand along it to pick up the dust. Repeat on every blind.  Windex is safe to use on most blinds, but if you'd prefer a natural substance, use a solution of half water, half vinegar.     For an even quicker cleanup, open your blinds and use your glove or sock-covered thumb and forefinger to pinch one blind at its edge. Run your fingers the length of the blind to pick up the dust from both sides at the same time. Repeat for every blind.    In many cases, vacuuming the blinds with be sufficient to clean them. It's also a good way to prepare extra dusty blinds for the next stage of cleaning. Start with closed blinds.  Attach your vacuum's hose attachment to its base.     Turn on the vacuum and run the hose attachment over each individual blind from side to side or up and down, depending on what type of blinds you have.     Repeat the process with the blinds turned in the opposite direction to clean the other side.

Article in English: If your blister is infected, it will appear to be filled with a cloudy, yellowish or greenish fluid. The skin around the blister will look red and could be swollen or tender. If you have more than three or four infected, don't try to treat them at home. You may need medical attention. If you see reddish streaks along your skin starting at or around the blister or if you have persistent drainage, pain around the blister, or a fever, you might have a more serious infection (like lymphangitis). If this happens, make sure to call your physician for advice. Blisters can be caused by sweat that becomes trapped under your skin. If you exercise or sweat heavily, immediately bathe or rinse the sweat away. Using a mild soap is usually enough to prevent infection. Gently pat your skin dry.  Avoid breaking the skin of your blister. Never rub the blister when washing or drying. If the blister hasn't broken, try to keep it intact. Consider using moleskin, bandages, or petroleum jelly to prevent skin or shoes from rubbing against your blister which can irritate it further. If the blister is on your hand, wear gloves  Even moist skin can create friction and aggravate your blister. You may want to sprinkle aluminum chloride or talcum powder on the skin around your blister to keep the skin completely dry. If you have one or two blisters, you can probably treat them at home. But, if you have several large blisters and they appear all over your body, you should see your doctor right away. Contact your doctor if you have painful, inflamed, or recurring blisters. You may have a more serious health condition that needs different treatment like:  Pemphigus: a chronic skin disease Bullous pemphigoid: an autoimmune skin disease Dermatitis herpetiformis: a chronic skin rash

Article in English: If your blisters and rash don’t go away after a week, or you become very uncomfortable, see your doctor. The doctor may prescribe oral medications, steroid creams, or light therapy to treat your spongiotic dermatitis. See your doctor if: you're so uncomfortable that it disrupts your sleep or ability to function daily, your skin is painful, self-care and home remedies haven’t worked, or you suspect your skin is infected. A doctor may prescribe phototherapy (light therapy) to help heal spongiotic dermatitis. This very effective treatment can be as simple as limited sun exposure or may use artificial light, but it does not come without risks.  Phototherapy exposes the skin to controlled amounts of natural sunlight or artificial ultraviolet A (UVA) and narrow band UVB. This treatment can be used alone with in conjunction with medications.  Light exposure increases your risk for premature aging and skin cancer. If the itching or rash is not relieved by applying an over-the-counter topical corticosteroid, your doctor may prescribe either a stronger topical or oral corticosteroid such as prednisone.  Oral steroids and strong topical steroids can have serious side effects when used long term. Follow your doctor's instructions and don't use these medications for longer than advised.  Continue to moisturize your skin while using oral and topical corticosteroids. Not only will they keep your skin hydrated, but they will help prevent flare-ups when you discontinue use of the steroids. In case your blisters or rash area is infected, you can get an antibiotic to help make sure you remain healthy. Talk to your doctor if you see signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, warmth, or pus. The type of antibiotic your doctor prescribes may vary. Common antibiotics include erythromycin, penicillin, dicloxacillin, clindamycin, or doxycycline. When no other treatment works, get a calcineurin inhibitor cream that will help repair your skin. These drugs, which include tacrolimus  and pimecrolimus, will help maintain normal skin,...

Article in English: If your blood sugar is low, your energy is low too. By eating a hearty meal in the morning, you are “breaking fast” and giving your body an energy boost in the morning. Try to eat healthy, nutrient-dense foods to promote stable energy levels. Sugary cereals and pastries may sound appealing, but they can cause a crash after the initial surge of energy. Get your body moving in the morning, however you can. If you have time to exercise in the morning, that’s great. If you don’t have time for a full workout, some gentle stretching can do the trick. By moving around and stretching out your body, you get your heart pumping and blood flowing to your brain. You may also get a burst of endorphins, the “feel good” chemicals that are released during physical exercise. It is normal to feel sleepy and lethargic while your body gradually gets used to your new schedule. However no matter how groggy you feel, don’t let yourself nap. Sleeping during the day will make it harder for you to fall asleep at night, and you’ll undo the hard work you did by waking up early.

Article in English: If your body has recently been subjected to any kind of trauma, this may be the cause of your pain. Particularly if your pain started suddenly following the trauma, you are more likely suffering from an acute injury than from a degenerative condition.  Trauma can come in many forms, from having a fall or being involved in a car accident, to working too hard at the gym. Some acute injuries are minor and may heal on their own, but others are more serious. If your back pain does not begin to subside within a few days, see a doctor to ensure that you do not have an injury that requires medical intervention, like a fracture. Strains and sprains are the most common exercise-related injuries. They normally heal within a week with no medical intervention. Sitting too much, particularly at a computer, can cause low back pain. While inactivity sometimes causes back conditions that necessitate medical intervention, the cure is often as simple as the cause. If you believe your back pain may be caused by sitting too much, try increasing your activity level to relieve it.  Try getting up for frequent walking breaks throughout the day. It’s important to get up from your desk at least once every 60 minutes. You can set reminders on your computer or watch to make sure that you stay on track If possible, get a standing desk so that you can work without sitting all day. If you can't move more during the day, try to improve your comfort by using lumbar support pillows or an ergonomically-designed chair. If increasing your activity doesn't improve your back pain, there may be something more serious going on, so it's a good idea to see your doctor. Sleeping the wrong way or on the wrong mattress can cause back pain. If you have bad sleep habits or need a new mattress, your back pain could be easily resolved.  Sleeping on your stomach is the worst position for back pain. Try flipping over on your back to see if you can get some relief. You may also want to put a pillow under your knees to see if that helps. You can also try...

A regular wipe-down with warm water for many synthetic boots will help remove dirt and other encrusted elements. clean and dry. At winter's end, never store boots without cleaning them first and ensuring that they are completely dry. Otherwise, you risk finding moldy, cracked, and possibly ruined boots next winter. Stains left too long may set permanently and weaken the boot. And mold that grows on one boot can cross-contaminate other shoes, boots and items of clothing stored in the same vicinity.  Do not store boots in plastic bags. Suede and leather need to "breathe" and plastic bags restrict this ability, drying out the boot and trapping mold. Better choices include pillowcases, fabric shoe bags and cloth bags. Store boots away from direct light or heat sources. Direct light can fade the boots, while direct heat can cause them to dry out and crack. If the stains are really bad, seek professional help from a shoe repairer, dry cleaner or similar. You could also call the manufacturer for advice. A well maintained boot is a long-lasting boot. Repeat the preventative and storing process on your boots every year or wearable season. This will keep your boots in good condition so that they will last longer!

Article in English: If your border collie lowers her head and front legs, as well as her tail, she is getting into her herding stance. This stance is part of her natural instinct for herding. If you see her drop into this stance, it's because she wants to herd whatever it is she's concentrating on, from cats to cars. Border collies need a great deal of stimulation, so be sure to give your dog plenty of exercise to keep her happy. A border collie usually has two types of growls, one serious and one play. You need to learn the difference so you don't upset your dog when she's being serious. Listen for play growls when she's playing tug-of-war, and learn to differentiate the sound from her more serious growl. Learning these two growls will also help if you choose to train your border collie on sheep, as you'll be able to tell when she is growling at the sheep in earnest. Your border collie was bred to help out shepherds by herding animals. That means that she wants a job to do. If you can give her a space to herd, that's great. If you don't have room for other animals, you may consider recreational herding, which is a form of dog sport. Other "jobs" you can give your border collie involve providing her with a digging hole (out of the way) or allowing her to "herd" cats under your direction. Use her bad behaviors, such as digging holes in the yard or chasing cats, and turn them into something controlled.

Article in English: If your boyfriend is disrespectful, you often won't feel like you're being heard in the relationship. Do you feel like your boyfriend truly understands you? Do you think he knows your needs and wants? If not, he may be disrespecting you.  You may feel like your boyfriend does not know basic things about you, such as personal boundaries and what you like to do. This may be because he talks over you or dismisses you. Listening is a basic sign of respect. Someone who does not listen to you does not likely respect you. Think about how you feel about your role in the relationship. Disrespectful people will often make their partners feel unworthy. In a healthy relationship, you will feel you deserve love and respect.  You may find yourself consistently having thoughts like, "I don't deserve him" or "It's my fault he yells. I don't deserve to be treated well." You do deserve respect. Every human deserve as much. If you consistently feel unworthy of basic aspects of respect (being listened to, being treated with kindness, having your needs met, etc.) then your boyfriend may be being disrespectful towards you. Disrespectful people can create toxic relationships with those around them. If you're being perpetually disrespected, think about your overall energy level. Do you feel tired most of the time? Do you feel drained and exhausted? If so, your boyfriend may be disrespecting you. A disrespectful partner can affect how you behave. If you're with someone who doesn't respect you, you may often feel like you're at your worst.  Do you feel like you're not the person you used to be? Do you feel like you're no longer able to keep up with things like your friends, hobbies, and social life and are just doing the bare minimum? Do you feel like you're not dealing as well in social interactions? Maybe you've been more short tempered or dismissive lately. This is a sign you're not being respected and lashing out at others.

Article in English: If your boyfriend is suffering from depression or has been really upset about a certain event for a long time, then the important thing is that you don’t blame yourself. You may think that, if your boyfriend can’t seem to cheer up, it’s your fault, somehow, but you need to know that sometimes, there’s nothing you can do to make someone feel better, no matter how hard you try.  If your boyfriend feels like you’re blaming yourself for not being able to cheer him up, then this will make him feel even worse, like he’s failing not only because he can’t cheer up but because he’s also disappointing you in some way. Try not to let your disappointment show. Sometimes a problem is so serious that only time or professional help can make it better. Don’t put that on yourself. If your boyfriend is really going through emotional trouble and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better, then you can talk to him about potentially going to therapy. Talking to a professional can help him get a better sense of his situation and to understand which steps should be taken. He may be reluctant about therapy and it may not be for everyone, but you should at least suggest this as an option so he knows what is available to him. This may not be an easy conversation to have. However, if he’s been upset, sad, or disengaged for a long time and there seems to be no way out of the woods for him, then it’s time to take action. If your boyfriend is depressed or going through a really hard time, then you may think that you’re perfectly capable of being loving and supportive all the time. However, everyone’s patience has a limit and nobody is perfect, so you shouldn’t be mad at yourself if you find that you can’t be in the supportive role 24/7. You may even feel actively annoyed with your boyfriend after a while, wondering why he can’t just “cheer up” as if it’s no big deal; it’s perfectly natural to feel this way and you shouldn’t be down on yourself because of it.  It’s normal that you may want your boyfriend to just be like everyone else,...
