Article in English: Although your shave won’t be as close as a razor shave, it will give you a bald result with less friction. This means you’re less likely to experience irritation and redness post-shave.  If you’d like a little bit of hair left, you can use a 1 guard. You may want to lay down newspapers before you shave your head to collect the excess hair. Normally, you'd shave your hair in the direction of the grain. However, this isn't necessary with clipping because you won't get as close of a shave as with a razor. Additionally, clipping hair with the grain is really difficult, as it's hard to clip the hair if you're moving the clippers over the top of your hair. This is usually level with the middle of your ear. Place your clippers against your skin and move them upwards toward the crown of your head. Make several passes until you reach the area behind your ear. If you feel more comfortable starting on a different section of your head, that’s okay. Do what’s easiest for you. Position the clippers at the top of your forehead. Then, slowly glide them back toward the crown of your head. Stop shaving when you reach the back of your crown. Place your clippers at the nape of your neck. Next, slowly bring the razor up toward your crown. Continue working your way across the back of your hair until you’ve shaved your entire head.

Article in English: Although your withdrawal symptoms should be gone in a week, you could feel some effects for several weeks. These include irritability, headaches, and insomnia. Recovering alcoholics often suffer from depression, anxiety, and numerous other psychological issues. It is therefore very important to address these problems with a therapist or counselor. If you detox physically but fail to address your mental health, your chance of relapse is very high. Although you've successfully detoxed, you'll need to build a support network to help you get through your continuing battle with alcohol. In addition to friends and family, a support group is a great resource. Many people in these groups have been through what you've been through, and can offer advice and support. Call them if you're feeling a craving or need any help. Your past activities probably included alcohol, so living a healthy life means finding new activities to replace your old ones.  Think about activities you used to love but haven't done in a while. Reviving these old hobbies can be a great way to put you in a positive state of mind. Also consider hobbies that give you a sense of purpose like volunteer work. Recovering alcoholics frequently replace alcohol with another substance like caffeine or tobacco. These addictions can be just as harmful. Instead of replacing your addiction, you need to focus on living your life without the addiction. You will inevitably experience cravings for alcohol. There are a few things you can do to properly manage this and avoid relapse.  Avoid your triggers. If certain people, places, or situations give you the urge to drink, you should avoid them. If old friends always pressure you to drink, you may have to cut them out of your life. Practice saying "no." You won't always be able to avoid every situation that involves alcohol, so you should prepare yourself to turn down a drink if it's offered. Distract yourself when having a craving. You can do this by taking a walk, listening to music, going for a drive, or any other...

Article in English: Although you’ll likely be hard-pressed to find one in a store (unless you have a specialty store nearby), these stills are easy to buy online. However, beware that they can be expensive — usually around a couple hundred dollars. If you plan on making large quantities of essential oil, a professional still is a good investment. If you want to try building a still, you've got plenty of room for creativity - there are thousands of still designs, and even today, many stills are homemade. The key components of a still are:  A heat source — usually direct fire A pressure cooker A 10 mm glass pipe A tub of cold water to cool down and condense the steam flowing through the pipe  An essencier, which separates out the essential oil from other materials you don’t want in your final product. Do not use plastic tubing in place of a glass pipe, as it can affect the quality of the oil. Some plants react badly with copper, but heavily tinned copper is suitable in all cases. You can also use aluminum materials, but not with wintergreen, cloves, or other plants whose oils have phenols. You’ll bring the plant matter to heat in the pressure cooker, and the resulting steam will pass through the pipe. You have to be able to cool that steam back down to liquid by immersing it in a cold water or ice bath. Depending on what you’re using for your cooling tub, you’ll have to bend the pipe in different shapes. For example, if you’re simply using a basin, you might have to bend it into a coil so that it can lay in the open tub. If you’re using a large bucket of ice, you might be able to bend the pipe to a 90 degree angle so that it can go down through the top of the bucket, then out a hole in the bottom. Use a small piece of flexible hose that fits snugly over both openings, which should be roughly the same size if you’re using a 10 mm pipe. You can secure the connection using a jubilee clip purchased at a hardware store. Make sure you cut the hose long enough to allow some room to bend. Otherwise, your pipe will stick straight up in the...

Article in English: Altmer are the best choice for a Sorcerer, having natural bonuses that are almost entirely devoted to creating an impressive magicka pool. They also get a bonus to the Destruction Staff, which makes them doubly dangerous as a Sorcerer. Altmer are available to those in the Aldmeri Dominion. Bretons are the other race with a natural gift for magic, boasting a healthy mix of magicka and defense bonuses. These defense bonuses can be handy, as Sorcerers will have few points to spend on increasing health. Bretons are available to those in the Daggerfall Covenant. The Ebonheart Pact lacks good options for Sorcerers, but the Dunmer would be your best bet. They boast a slightly higher than normal magicka score, as well as a bonus to fire spells. As implied, Dunmer are available to those in the Ebonheart Pact.

Article in English: Always avoid swimming for at least two weeks after getting a new piercing. Stay away from pools, lakes, and ocean water during that time, and clean the piercing with saline solution after taking a shower. You should also avoid swimming while treating an infected permanent piercing. If you have long hair, tie it back to keep it away from a new or infected piercing. Wash your hair more often than you ordinarily would. Take care not to get hairspray or gel in the piercing or to snag it when brushing your hair. Cell phones are covered with bacteria that can cause infections, so you should regularly disinfect your phone even if you’re not dealing with an infected piercing. Remove your phone’s case and clean both the case and the phone using a disinfecting wipe or paper towel sprayed with a cleaning solution.  You should also sanitize any other phones you use. You can also put your phone on speaker when people call.  This will minimize how much you touch your ear. If your piercing is new, you should keep your first post in for six weeks and wear an earring at all times for six months. After six months, your piercing will become permanent. Once it’s permanent, you should take your earrings out at night to expose the channels to air and prevent infection. The cleaner the clinic you visit, the less likely your new piercing will become infected. Read reviews on piercing clinics and parlors before visiting. Make sure that the parlor is licensed. When you go to get a new ear piercing, watch to see that the staff wears latex gloves and ask if they have the proper machinery for sterilizing their equipment.  It is not a good idea to get pierced at night markets or abroad while on vacation. You should not have a friend pierce your ears for you at home, as they will not be able to properly sterilize their equipment.

Article in English: Always be quick about getting things done instead of procrastinating and leaving them until the last minute. This will give you fewer things to stress about and let you take a laid-back approach to life. Listen to some music that will calm you down. Different music works for different people, of course, but generally soothing music will make you more chill then some hard-core rock. Look for music with low, calming sounds. You will know that music is calming when you notice that your pulse is lower. When you notice that you’re getting too tense and worked up, try chilling out by playing with some cute little kids or animals. Kids especially have such a happy view of the world and themselves, and their outlook can often change how you view your own life. If you don’t have little kids in your life, think about volunteering with Big Brothers, Big Sisters (or a similar organization). Physically getting up and moving, and proper exercise especially, can have a really big impact on how you feel emotionally. If you feel like you’re having problems being chill, go out for a run and see how you feel when you get back. You might be surprised! A funny movie is a great way to relax and get into a chill mindset. You can watch cartoon movies that you loved as a kid or you can watch some more grown-up movies that make you laugh instead. Movies like Dodgeball are usually good for a laugh, Bridesmaids is a great movie, and Office Space will be sure to have you laughing at your own life in no time. Another great way to chill is to play a game. You can play video games, board games, card games, or whatever you like. You can play alone or with other people. Games are a great way to exercise your brain and get your mind off of the problems and stresses in your life. It can also be a great way to bond with people that you love, which can really make your life more chill.

Article in English: Always be sure that you follow research-supported recommendations, such as the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), when performing stretches. You can also consult a qualified professional like a doctor, sports medicine practitioner, certified trainer or physical therapist, to help establish a stretching program that’s right for you. He or she should be able to show you the proper way to stretch and ensure that you are doing the right movements to become more flexible in the shortest amount of time. Pay attention to your body’s signals, such as pain and stiffness. The amount of flexibility that is best for you will also be specific to you. Having tight muscles and a limited range of motion indicates that you need to integrate stretching exercises. Loose, weak muscles with joint instability and dislocation is a sign that you may need to focus more on muscle and joint strengthening.   The movements that you need to do regularly in your daily life or sport will help determine your optimum flexibility level. Baseball pitchers need more shoulder flexibility while martial artists need more leg flexibility. Even doing daily chores like putting groceries away or pushing a lawn mower require some flexibility.  While you must stretch a muscle beyond its normal length to increase flexibility, the stretch should not cause pain. Pain tells you that you are stretching too much or pushing yourself beyond what is safe for you to do. You do not want to tear a muscle, sprain a ligament or dislocate a joint, so pay attention to what your body is telling you and stop when you feel pain. Injuries take time to heal and will slow down your progress. The ACSM recommends that you stretch at least 2-3 days a week after properly warming up with an activity, such as walking. Multiple stretches should be done for each major muscle group, including the shoulders, chest, back, arms, abs, butt, thighs and calves. Remember that your abilities, goals and flexibility level will be different than everyone else, so try not to compare...

Article in English: Always begin by cracking open the eggs into a large bowl or other container. Raw egg, just like any material that contains significant amounts of water, will expand when frozen. If the eggs are frozen in the shell, this expansion could crack open the egg. Besides mixing shell fragments into the edible part of the egg, this could introduce harmful bacteria from the outside of the shell. If the eggs are near or past their expiration date, crack each one into a "test bowl" before transferring to the larger container. Discard eggs with obvious discoloration or a strong, unpleasant smell, then wash the test bowl before cracking the next egg. Mix at least enough to break the egg yolks, or create a more uniform substance by beating them together until blended. However, try not to beat too much air into the eggs. Raw egg yolks tend to become gelatinous when frozen. When mixed with egg white, this can cause a grainy texture in the frozen egg mixture. There are two main ways to prevent this, depending on your intended use for the eggs. If you are using them alone or in savory dishes, stir in 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) of salt for each cup (240 mL) of raw egg. If you are using them in sweet dishes, instead stir in 1 – 1.5 tbsp (15 – 22 mL) of sugar, honey, or corn syrup. If you want to make the mixture more consistent, strain it through a sieve or colander over a clean bowl. This will also remove most shell fragments if any were mixed into the egg while cracking them. Pour the mixture into freezer-safe containers, leaving 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) of space between the egg and the lid to allow for expansion. Tightly seal the containers. Alternatively, freeze the egg mixtures in a clean ice cube tray first, then pop the cubes out into a larger, freezer-safe container. This may make it easier to thaw the amount of egg you need. The eggs typically remain high quality for several months to a year, so it's a good idea to label them rather than relying on your memory. Remember to include:  The date you froze them. The number of eggs you froze....

Article in English: Always begin clipping from the less sensitive areas like the shoulders, going upwards to the neck.  Clip in long and overlapping strokes, and always go against the hair growth. Do this one side at a time. Make sure your blades do not overheat, and keep them lubricated with a generous amount of mineral oil (5 to 10 drops). If the blade gets hot, replace it with a fresh set or let it cool down first before using it again. You can prevent cutting these areas by wrapping the tail with bandage, and by pushing the mane with your other hand when you are clipping an area near it. These areas can irritate the horse when clipped. Clip a majority of the hairs using big clippers, and then use smaller clippers on the nooks and ear edges.  Move the horse's skin or stretch it using your fingers to reach into nooks and crannies. When you are clipping the face, be careful around the bony edges around the face and eyes. You can cover the eyes with one hand to prevent cut hairs from falling in and irritating the eyes. Additionally, when clipping in this area, make sure that the blades are not hot, because a hot blade can startle the horse. For whiskers, use fine or small clippers. Clipping from the elbows down is a two man job, and you will need an assistant to lift the foreleg of the horse, so that you can stretch and clip the skin behind the elbows.  Clipping the hind legs, belly, and trunk, also requires an assistant to make sure that the horse is properly restrained. These areas are ticklish and can startle horses, making them kick. The simple halter restraint discussed earlier may be sufficient. After clipping, wipe the horse with a warm wet sponge, to remove cut hairs that can cause irritation. Any hairs that are left on the horse can prick their skin and cause them to buck and struggle. Dust and brush off all the hairs from the clippers.  Remove the blades by unscrewing the tension screws. Clean the blades with oil and cloth, using 5 to 10 drops of mineral oil and wiping it away with a flannel cloth. Clean the hand set...

Article in English: Always condition your hair after shampooing with a dime-sized dab of conditioner. This will help keep your hair soft and smooth. Don't completely wash out all of the conditioner. Just leave a little in after you take a shower – enough to make your hair feel smooth while it's wet. Salon-quality products are best, if you can afford them, and some conditioners are actually designed to make your hair softer. The heat causes you hair to become damaged and dull. Excessive curling burns your hair, turning it hard, crispy, and bristly. You may be able to partially repair your split ends with pure argan oil, but the only way to vanquish them completely is to get your hair cut. You can spread your hair with honey, egg yolk, or eggshells for a natural softening experience. Leave the mask on your hair for 15 minutes to an hour, then wash it out thoroughly with shampoo. You can leave it on overnight, though this may not significantly boost the softening effect. Repeat the procedure several times each week, and you may find that your hair grows softer.  Prepare a hair conditioning mask from honey. Apply honey mask to your scalp and massage it for five minutes so that it spreads all over hair. Keep this mask on hair for 20 minutes and then wash it. Honey helps hair to restore moisture. It also helps prevent infections, keeping your hair smooth and silky. Prepare an egg mask by mixing a few lemon drops to an egg white. After properly mixing all the ingredients apply this conditioner to hair and leave it for 15 minutes. This home remedy not only provides softness, but also clears the dandruff and makes hair strong. Crush eggshells into a powdery texture. then mix a little bit of water until it is not diluted but enough to stick to your hair. Then, apply the crushed eggshells over the area you want to soften. Leave it to dry for 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how soft you want your hair. Then rinse the eggshells off. Over time, hairspray can build up and harden on your hair. Coloring will dry out your hair, and all the...

Article in English: Always double-check to make sure that the gun is not loaded before starting to clean the rifle. Always practice good firearm safety and handling measures. , including the barrel. Rifles that have been sitting in storage for a long time, or rifles that are frequently used for hunting, can become covered with dust and grime. A clean rifle will shoot more accurately than a dirty one. There is no set time when your gun should be cleaned, but the general consensus is to clean it after you are done firing for the day, and before and after you put the gun in storage. Like dirty rifles, loose screws can cause a rifle to fire inaccurately.

Article in English: Always draw out the sculpture you plan on making first. It doesn't have to be a great drawing, but it should help you get an idea of where everything goes and how the shapes will meet up. Draw the sculpture from multiple angles. You may want to draw a more detailed sketch as well, for areas that are highly detailed. If your sculpture will have a base, it's a good idea to build that first and build the sculpture on the base. The base will be less structurally sound if added later. You can build a base from wood, metal, clay, stone, or any other material you want. "Armature" is a word sculptors use that just means "support structure". It's like the bones for your sculpture. It keeps pieces from breaking off and while not every part of your sculpture will need an armature, it's important for pieces like arms or legs, which move away from the body and are easy breaking points.  Armatures can be made out of thin or thick gauge wire, plumping pipes, pvc pipe, lumber, sticks, dowels, or any other material that works for you. Generally start with the "spine" of the piece and create branches for the "limbs". Using your design sketch can be helpful for forming the armature, especially if the sketch was made to-scale. Anchor your armature in or to your base before continuing. Depending on what your sculpture will be made out of, you may want to form an underlayer with a different material. This is most common when sculpting with polymer clay. An underlayer can help reduce materials cost and weight, so consider using one.  Common materials are newspaper, tin or aluminum foil, masking or painter's tape, and cardboard. Loosely tape or join this filler material to your armature, forming just the basic shapes of your sculpture. You want to leave yourself room to build with your final sculpting material, though, so don't go overboard! Start adding on your sculpting material. Start by creating the largest pieces (the "large muscle groups") to the smallest ones (the "small muscle groups"). Go from larger details to smaller...

Article in English: Always have self-love. This means treating yourself with love, respect, and kindness. Having a hard time? It may help to realize that you aren’t alone. Loneliness is something that everyone experiences at one time or another. Feeling lonely doesn’t mean you're flawed or weird. In fact, it’s what makes you human!  Remember that feelings of loneliness are just that: feelings. They aren’t part of your identity. Think about how you would treat someone you care about if they were suffering. Now, treat yourself the same way. Start by speaking kindly to yourself, just as you would speak kindly to a loved one.  Give yourself a gentle gesture, like a pat on the back or a hug. This might feel a little strange, but it can actually have a soothing effect. Loneliness feels awful. However, it’s important to understand and address your feelings of loneliness instead of trying to suppress them. Take some time to sit with your feelings. Notice the lump in your throat, the tightness in your chest, and the empty feeling in your stomach. Then, you'll work to move past these feelings.  If you feel the urge to cry when processing your feelings, then cry. There’s no shame in letting your emotions out--in fact, you’ll probably feel better after a good cry. Processing your feelings doesn't mean dwelling on them. Instead, taking time to understand your feelings can help you move beyond them. If you’re feeling lonely, putting your energy into achieving your long term goals can help. Do you have a dream college? Focus on getting good grades and involving yourself in your school community. If you’ve always dreamed of traveling to Europe, create a plan for saving money.  Write down your goals and your plan for achieving them. You’ll have a better chance of following through.  Big goals can be daunting, so break them down into smaller, daily tasks. If you want to write a novel, set a goal of writing a few pages every day.

Article in English: Always having water on hand makes it easier to remember to drink it. Slip a reusable water bottle into your purse, gym bag, backpack, desk drawer, or car, and refill it regularly. Avoid chugging or taking big gulps from your water bottle. Instead, take small sips throughout the day. Water bottles come in all sizes, styles, and materials. You can even get water bottles with built-in water filters so the water will taste better. It’s important to drink more water any time you’ve been sweating, such as when you’re exercising or after spending time in a hot environment. Always keep a bottle of water on hand and take sips from it often when you're hot or sweaty. Drinking water before your meals and while you eat can help to reduce your appetite since thirst is often confused with hunger. Replace your typical drink before and during meals with water, or at least have water to drink on the side. This will save you money when you eat out and help you cut calories. Drink a glass of water while you prepare your dinner or while you’re waiting for your meal to arrive at a restaurant. Alcohol dehydrates you so it’s important to drink water along with any alcoholic beverages you consume. Try to have a glass of water after every alcoholic beverage to stay hydrated. Moderation is best when it comes to drinking alcohol. Try not to exceed 1 drink per day if you’re a woman or 2 drinks per day if you’re a man. One drink is 12  fl oz (350 mL) of beer, 5  fl oz (150 mL) of wine, or 1.5  fl oz (44 mL) of spirits. Try setting alarms or computer reminders that tell you to drink water once per hour, or decide on a few personal “triggers” for drinking water. Triggers to sip water can be routine activities that you do all the time, such as:  Making or receiving a phone call Stretching while you're at work or school Hearing someone say your name Checking your email If you have a large water bottle and don’t mind marking on it, use a permanent marker to draw a few lines around the bottle as reminders. Then, write times that correspond to...

Article in English: Always keep your kitchen and pantry as clean as possible. The longer spills or crumbs stay out, the more  likely pantry pests are to come looking for a snack. Use soap and water or a disinfecting countertop spray with a clean cloth or sponge to clean up messes. Examine packages of dried goods in the store for signs of a broken seal before taking them home. Even a small hole or tear means that pantry pests could already have infested the package. Try to buy amounts of flour, rice, and other grains that you can use up in 2-4 months. The longer something sits in your pantry the more likely it is to get infested. Purchase some good-quality storage containers with strong seals to keep your grains and other pantry goods in. Remember that pantry pests can squeeze through very small spaces, so an airtight seal is your best ally.   Mason jars are a great airtight option for storing grains and other food, and also look great for organizing your pantry! If you can store anything from your pantry in the fridge, put it in there to keep it away from bugs. Sprinkle bay leaves on the shelves of your pantry, or keep some in an open container on a shelf. Put 1 or 2 in open packages or containers of rice, flour, and other grains. Even if you don’t have an infestation, take everything out of your pantry and throw away any old food items that could attract pests. Wash the shelves with warm water and soap, then wipe them down with a 50-50 water and vinegar solution. If you have a recurring problem with pantry pests, call in a professional pest control expert to help you resolve and prevent the problem.

Article in English: Always keep your wines in an area under 70ºF (21ºC) and away from direct sunlight. Store horizontally on a wine rack to keep the cork moist. If you plan to age wines or store expensive wines, but don't have a wine cellar, use a basement or closet. The temperature should be close to 55ºF (13ºC), and the area should be quite humid. If this environment is not available in your home, move on to the options below. You can build your own cheap "cellar" by excavating a pit in a shaded area of your backyard. Place the wine bottles inside a wooden box, insulate the box on all sides with aluminum foil, and lower it into the pit. Cover the pit with plywood or any sturdy cover. Including a thermometer is recommended, since soil temperatures and climate can vary greatly, but as long as the temperature stays stable at a temperature between roughly 45–60ºF (7–16ºC), it can be used to store wine at larger quantities and lower expense than a refrigeration system. These are sometimes called electric wine cellars, and are the most expensive option for storing your wine, after hiring someone to dig a full-scale cellar! You may prefer to spend the extra money on pre-aged wines instead, but the wine fridge could be a good option if you have a few dozen bottles, or if you want to taste how different bottles of the same vintage age over time. Full-featured models allow different temperature zones for different types of wine.

Article in English: Always leave time for clubs, sports, volunteering, or other activities outside of class. Believe it or not, extracurricular commitments can boost your grades because they can help you organize your time better. Studies even show that student-athletes tend to do better in school than non-athletes. This will also help you stay grounded and will keep you from obsessing over your studies too much. You don't want to be holed up in your room, studying for ten hours under the glare of a too-bright light bulb. You want to have time to study, sure, but you also want to make time to pursue your friendships, go to parties, hang out at the movies, or even go to the school carnival. If you spend 100% of your time with your nose buried in a book, you may start to feel a little bit unhinged and lonely. You don't have to be the life of the party, but having at least a few meaningful friendships will make you feel more motivated to study. Be sure that you stay away from most of the drama at your school, for it can be very time consuming. Find some friends that you can study with. Having a group of like-minded students can help you make studying more fun and productive. Try starting a study group for one of your classes and see how it works out; if you're able to stay focused, then you've just improved your chances of acing your classes. You don't want to waste time on narcissism and nervous back-stabbing. Don't go around asking your rivals what they got on their tests, how much time they spent studying for the latest exam, or what grade they think they're going to get in a class. This will make you focus your efforts in the wrong places and will keep you focused on what you have to do. Remember that everyone is different. Maybe you need to study for 4 hours to ace an exam and the student next to you only needs to study for 3 hours to do well.

Article in English: Always prepare slides with a cover slip or cover glass to protect the specimen you're viewing with the microscope. This will also protect the lens of your microscope from anything that might press against it.  Position your sample between 2 pieces of glass to make a slide. Place the slide on the center of the stage over the glass hole. Move the 2 stage clips over the sides of the slide to secure it into place. This is usually just under the stage. You want to have the best amount of light to reach the slide and the lenses. Don’t use the iris diaphragm to control the light. Use it to optimize the level of contrast and resolution for clearer viewing. Use the lowest magnification needed. Start with the lowest level of magnification. This will allow you to select the part of the specimen that offers the most interest. Once you've located this, you may increase the magnification to better view this part.  Turn the nosepiece turret until the shortest lens (4x) is above your sample. It should click and feel rigid when it is in place. The shortest objective lens is the least powerful (the lowest level of magnification) and is the easiest level to begin when magnifying an object. Twist the coarse focus knob (the large one) on the side of the base so the stage moves upward toward the short objective lens. Perform this without looking into the eyepiece. It's important to make sure the slide does not touch the lens. Stop twisting the coarse knob just before the slide contacts the lens. Looking through the eyepiece, arrange the illuminator and the diaphragm to reach the most comfortable level of light. Move the specimen slide so that the image is in the center of your view.  Arrange the illuminator until you've arrived at a comfortable level of light. The brighter the illuminator shines, the better you will be able to see your specimen. Twist the coarse focus knob the opposite way as you had before, so the stage moves away from the lens. Do this slowly until the sample begins to focus. Use the coarse focus knob to get the...

Article in English: Always put on thick gloves before handling broken glass to avoid cuts. Ideally, you should put them on over rubber gloves or glove liners to protect yourself from electricity, in case the power is turned back on while you are working. Safety glasses will protect your eyes from glass shards, and are especially important if the light fixture is on the ceiling.  If the light fixture is on the ceiling, a hat in addition to the safety glasses will keep broken glass out of your hair. Even though you will be removing the power to the light fixture, there is a small chance the fixture is still charged due to faulty wiring. Wear insulating gloves to protect yourself from this scenario. You can use a broom, rag, or vacuum cleaner to sweep the glass into a dustpan and throw it away. Smaller fragments can be scooped up with a piece of stiff paper or cardboard, while glass powder can be picked up with a piece of sticky tape.  Warning: Compact fluorescent lightbulbs, also known as energy saving lightbulbs with a coiled shape, can let off mercury vapors when broken. Open windows or doors to the outside, shut off your house's heating and air conditioning, and only use a vacuum cleaner as a last resort. If there is still a fair amount of glass on the bulb, or the bulb is in a ceiling fixture, put down a tarp underneath it to make further glass cleanup easier. If a lamp is broken, all you need to do to remove the power is unplug the cord from the wall socket. Locate the panel containing your fuses or circuit breakers and turn off the power to the part of your house that powers the light fixture. Remove the fuse by unscrewing it, or set the circuit switch to the off position.  If your fuses or circuit breakers aren't labeled, remove the power from every circuit. Don't assume the power to the light fixture is off just because you removed the power from a nearby outlet. If there is no natural light in the room with the broken fixture, find a flashlight before you shut off the power. Only ever do this when wearing thick gloves to...

Article in English: Always remember to give an introductory greeting—even something as informal as “hello" works fine in most situations. This opens up communication between you and sets the tone for the interaction. If the other person hasn’t noticed you, you will now be on their radar.   Tell the person your name and inquire about theirs if it isn’t offered. Tell the person, “So nice to meet you” or something along those lines that tells them you are happy to be talking with them. One of the biggest things to remember when meeting and trying to attract new people is that people like to talk about themselves. If you seem genuinely interested in them, they may seek you out again or become more curious about you. Find out as much about the person as you can—ask what they like to do, the things they enjoy or find interesting or what their goals are. Open-ended questions work the best because they encourage the person to share more information.  Start with a compliment, such as one regarding their outfit. If they just performed or spoke during a conference or meeting, for example, then complement them on what they did or said. If you know about their work, find something about it to praise. Say something like, “I love your shoes” or “I really admired what you said…” If you are attending a party or other special event, you might ask, “How do you know the host?” You can ask questions like, “What’s your favorite type of music” or “What movies have you seen lately?” as ice breakers. Point out something you have in common, such as “It looks like we’re both wine/art/fashion fans. What is your favorite kind?” Remembering someone’s name is a sure way to come across as interested. Repeat the name after you hear it out loud. Then, try to remember it with a mnemonic device, such as a rhyme or alliteration, by repeating it in your head. Something like Joe, Joe from So-Co can work wonders to help you put a face to a name later. Negative energy tends to push people away. Don’t complain, insult the person, gossip or use sarcasm during your...

Article in English: Always remember, measure twice, cut once. You only get one chance at cutting before you make a mistake and discover that you have to make another trip back to the hardware store. And they will immediately know why you are there. Cut the longer pieces first, then use remaining pieces for the shorter sides or to create braces. If you can apply a sealant or paint before final assembly, do so. The purpose is to coat the wood, and so why not make sure that it is properly covered before screwing all of these joints together forever? Though there are devices that will allow your to drill the screws directly into the lumber, doing so can stress the wood and cause splits near the end. It is also easier to maintain control when drilling guide holes than it is to screw directly into the wood, especially when using hard woods. Use a screwdriver bit with your drill to attach the ends of the window box to the bottom using rust-proof screws. Be sure to support the wood against something sturdy or have someone hold the lumber while you are screwing the pieces together. Place the front and back sections onto the bottom section to make sure that all of the pieces are cut to fit (the ends should all be flush with each other) before attaching the front and back pieces of the window box. Screw the front and back pieces to the bottom and sides of the window box. You'll need several holes in the bottom of the window box to allow water to drain out of the window box. Let the sealant or paint dry completely before final installation. This will prevent the soil from rotting the wood. Use them to cover the drainage holes to keep the soil from coming out of the bottom of the window box. Drill holes into the exterior wall where you're going to hang your window box. Additionally, if you have left lumber to serve as a separate brace, drill holes for that as well. Attach the brace first, then the  window box, screwing them in tightly but without damaging the wood. When screwing the window box to the brackets from the bottom of the window...

Article in English: Always remind people that if they have any questions or concerns, you're ready and willing to listen.  Maintaining an open channel of communication will make you aware of problems quickly, so that you can fix them as soon as possible.  Don't be one of those managers who inadvertently makes an employee feel like they're bothering you when they bring up a question or concern. Instead of seeing it as another crisis to manage, look at it as an opportunity to show your employee how much you want this organization to be a fulfilling place to work. Never minimize or dismiss the concerns of your employees, and always make sure that you've answered their questions completely. Don't make every interaction with your workers strictly business.  Ask after their well-being, chat with them about yourself, and establish a personal connection.  Being in-tune with your employees' lives outside the office can potentially alert you to times when that person needs extra consideration from you, for instance if he or she requires sudden time off for a family funeral.  If you can be accommodating about upheavals in the personal lives of your workers, they'll feel good about rewarding you with loyalty. Know your boundaries.  Don't overstep and ask your employees about anything too personal, such as religion, politics, or personal relationships.  You can keep up a friendly rapport without being invasive. Say you're giving your employee feedback in a performance review. You start off by mentioning how great the employee is to work with, and note one or two additional things they've excelled at. Then you launch into an extended itemization of their deficits — "sales were down this quarter," "revenue slipped," etc. What do you think the employee hears most resoundingly, the positive or the negative?   When you mix positive and negative feedback, both areas suffer. The positive becomes overshadowed by the negative, and the negative doesn't carry the full force of its potential impact. Of course, there may be situations where you'd want to...

Article in English: Always serve red wine below room temperature. Serve rich red wines, like Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, at a warmer temperature than light red wines, like Pinot Noir and Zinfandel. Rich wines taste smoother when you serve them a little warmer.  If you don’t have a wine cooler, chill the red wine in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving. Only chill rich red wines, like Merlot and Rioja, for 15-20 minutes in the fridge since they taste better warmer. If you're chilling wine in the fridge, turn the temperature dial up 1 or 2 notches so the wine doesn't get too cold. Don't forget to turn it back after you're done chilling the wine. Serve light, zesty white wines, like Chablis and Grenache Blanc, at the lower end of the temperature spectrum — 50 °F (10 °C) or colder — and oak-aged white wines at the higher end. Use a refrigerator to chill white wine if you don’t have a wine cooler. Place the wine in the fridge several hours before serving. Turn the temperature dial up 1 or 2 notches in the fridge when you're chilling wine. Regular fridge temperatures can make wines too cold. Place it in the freezer one hour before serving so it reaches a temperature between 38-50 °F (5-10 °C). Expensive sparkling wines can be served at 50-55 °F (10-13 °C). Chill these wines in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving, like you would with white wines.

Article in English: Always take care to wash your hands before and after handling the kittens. They may be carrying diseases or be susceptible to germs and bacteria that you've picked up. When you do pick up the kittens, pick them up carefully. Always check to make sure they feel warm, by seeing if the pads of their feet feel cold. Chances are, they'll start crying if they're cold. If you have other pets, make sure to keep them separate from the orphaned kittens for at least 2 weeks. Don't let them share litter boxes, food, or water bowls, since these could spread disease. Neonatal kittens (under 2 weeks old) cannot regulate their body temperature and usually keep warm by snuggling up to the mother. Since they can't do this, get a heating pad designed for puppies or kittens. Place the kittens on the heating pad, making sure to avoid direct contact with the pad if there's no fleece cover on it. If there's no cover, wrap a towel around it.  Kittens should never be directly exposed to the heating pad, since they may get localized burns or overheat. You can also use a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel, but check it frequently to make sure it's still warm (around 100 degrees). Place a box or cat carrier in a quiet, isolated part of your house. The room you put it in should be warm and draft-free, away from any other pets. Set a towel inside the box to make a cozy spot for the kittens to rest. You should also cover the box or carrier with a towel to keep it warm. Make sure not to cover air holes in the box or cat carrier to prevent suffocation. You don't need separate boxes or carriers for each kitten. Place them all in the same soft bedding spot. This will also help keep them warm and comforted. Ensure that there is enough room for the kittens to move around. For instance, the kittens should be able to move to the edges of a heating pad if they're starting to overheat.

Article in English: Always treat a gun as though it were loaded, even if you know it isn't. This will usually be on the right side of the gun, where the barrel meets the stock. Unlike a pump-action shotgun, a break action has no magazine tube to load several shells at a time into. Instead, the gun breaks open to allow you to load a shell directly into the chamber of your barrel (or barrels). This means your gun needs to be reloaded after every shot, or every two shots if you have a double-barreled shotgun.  Be careful: these may be hot if the gun was recently fired. Try not to let your hand touch the metal of the barrel. The business-end of the shell should slide into the barrel. Your gun is now loaded and ready to fire.

Article in English: Always tuck the shirt in and pair the shirt with an appropriate belt. For business casual, tie is optional.  White button-down shirts are the most formal and therefore the safest. Unlike pants, all manner of shirt colors are acceptable: Purple, pink, yellow, blue, and red. Choose shirts (and pants) in "formal" fabric: Cotton is king, and comes in many different flavors. Wool is acceptable, if itchy. Silk, rayon, and linen are frowned upon. Choose shirts in "formal patterns: Oxford, plaid, and poplin are a little less formal, but perfectly acceptable. Twill, herringbone, and broadcloth patterns are more formal and nice to use if sprucing up. Hawaiian and other irregular patterns are considered too casual. Jeans are not considered business casual.  Pleated pants and dark colors are more formal, conservative choices. If you want to be on the safe side, overdressing is less frowned upon than underdressing. Pants should extend to the top of your shoe, or slightly longer. Pants that don't reach down to your shoe are considered high-water pants; pants that fold and bunch up near the feet are considered too baggy. Avoid pants in loud colors such as red, yellow, and purple. Camouflage is not allowed, neither are white pants — they feel a little too informal for even business casual. Stick with black, brown, grey, khaki, dark blue and dark green pants. V-neck sweaters work best if wearing a a collar.  Turtlenecks can be worn in combination with a blazer for a sleek look and a little bit of novelty. If you want to wear a suit coat and still look business casual, dress it down with khakis instead of suit pants. Stick to black, brown, or grey shoes. Oxfords, lace-ups, and loafers are all standards. Avoid the following items, which, fortunately or unfortunately, don't fall under the category of business casual:  Sneakers, sandals, flip-flops or other open-toed shoes. Sports shirts, sweatshirts, sport team jackets, and athletic socks. Shorts and capris. Jeans. Very tight, and hence revealing, cuts of pants. No...

Article in English: Always wash and dry your hands before handling your contact lenses and keep your fingernails short to avoid scratching your eye when inserting them. Similarly, you should remove the lenses before washing off your makeup. This will avoid getting any makeup on your lenses. Doing so can spread infections or particles from one eye to the other. Be sure to follow the instructions that have been given to you by your optometrist. Also, make sure that you use fresh solution every time you store your contact lenses. Never reuse your solution. Cases should be changed every three months. Overuse can cause damage to the eye over time. Doing so won't damage your eyes, but it may be uncomfortable. To make sure you are inserting it the right way, hold the contact lens on your finger and view it from the side to see which way it folds. If the top edge of the lens flares out then it is inside out. Sleeping with contact lenses in your eye may cause irritation and dryness. If you experience eye redness, stinging, burning, or pain, this is a sign that something is wrong. Remove your lenses and stop using your contacts until you have talked to your optometrist.

Article in English: Always wash your hands well before touching a piercing, especially if it’s new or infected. Use an antimicrobial soap and warm water. Avoid fiddling with your earrings and only touch them when you have to clean them. If your piercing is new, keep it in place for at least six weeks, even if it becomes infected. While you should rotate a new lobe piercing, stop rotating it if it becomes infected for one to two weeks. If your infected piercing is permanent, or more than six months old, remove the earring while you deal with the infection. Soak a cotton ball or swab in saline solution or a mild antimicrobial soap. Dab the soaked ball or swab around the infected area. Then dry the area with disposable paper towels.  If the shop where you got your ear pierced provided a saline solution, use it to clean your ears. You can also purchase a pre-made product or make a saline solution by mixing 2 teaspoons of salt with a quart (about a liter) of warm water. If you use a soap, go with a fragrance free brand that doesn’t contain alcohol. Clean an infected ear piercing twice a day. You can rotate the earrings during this time while they are still wet from the saline solution or soap. After cleaning and drying the piercing, you can apply an antibacterial ointment to encourage healing. Dab a small amount of the ointment onto a cotton swab and paint a thin coating over the infected area. If the infection is weeping or emitting a discharge, avoid using ointment. Rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide will dry out the infected area and kill cells that are needed for healing. Killing white blood cells around the infected site could make the infection even worse. Don’t apply alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to the infection, and make sure any cleaning products you use are alcohol free.

Article in English: Always wear a helmet, a thick jacket, pants, and padded gloves when riding a motorcycle, whether you are the driver or a passenger. You are very exposed on a motorcycle, so wearing protective equipment (even if your state does not legally require it) will minimize your injuries and could save your life should you become involved in an accident.  Motorcyclists wearing helmets are 40% less likely to die of a head injury in a crash. Motorcyclists wearing helmets are 15% less likely to suffer nonfatal injuries in a crash. You are much more likely to get into an accident if you ride while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Alcohol consumption reduces reaction speed, affects balance, and impairs judgment. You are putting yourself and others at increased risk of injury or death by riding under the influence. It's also illegal!  Statistics show that 29% of motorcycle crash fatalities involved a rider with a blood alcohol level above the national legal limit (which is 0.08%).  One third of motorcycle accidents are the result of a rider being under the influence of alcohol.  Motorcyclists aged 20 to 24 years experience a higher rate of alcohol-related crashes than any other age group. It is easy to lose control of your motorcycle in poor weather, especially in precipitation or conditions of reduced visibility. It can be difficult to come to a quick stop on a wet road, which increases your chances of having an accident.  Reduce your speed in bad weather. This will allow you extra time to react to unexpected situations and will reduce the time and distance it takes to slow or stop your motorcycle. Keep a wide breadth when passing or following other vehicles. You can't predict what other drivers will do, and they are even less likely to be aware of you if visibility and/or weather conditions are poor. You will have more time to react if you keep your distance. Turn carefully. You are more likely to lose traction in corners and crash if road conditions are wet or icy. Reduce this risk by slowing down and...

Article in English: Always wear ear and eye protection when shooting. Keep the safety on until the gun is in firing position. Never put your finger on the trigger until you're ready to fire. When you're not in firing position, keep the barrel aimed up or straight down at the ground, never point the gun in the direction of yourself or anyone you're with, and always assume the gun is loaded. Before you try aiming, loading, or firing a shotgun, learn to respect the shotgun for what it is: a dangerous and powerful tool. The gun should be held at all times with your non-firing hand on the hand stock, roughly in the middle of the grip. Cradle it firmly, using the "V" created by your thumb and forefinger. Hold the grip of the gun with your firing-hand (the hand you write with) on the grip behind the trigger. Hold onto the gun securely but gently, as if you were giving it a light handshake. Pull the gun snuggly into the shoulder, keeping your hands in the same position, but rotating the gun up. Pull the butt firmly into your shoulder.  Failing to keep the shotgun tight in your shoulder will make the "kick" more painful when you shoot the gun. Keeping it tight allows your body to absorb the kick, as opposed to the gun bouncing into your shoulder.  Your feet should be shoulder width apart, your knees flexed slightly, with your body turned roughly 40 degrees to the side of the target your firing hand is on. Your finger should not be on the trigger, but holding the stock behind the trigger guard with the rest of your fingers. To aim properly, you need to develop what is called "cheek to stock weld," which means that you've aligned your eye evenly with the sight of the shotgun by keeping your cheek in tight to the stock.  When the butt of the shotgun is pulled into the pocket your shoulder makes with your pectoral muscle, let your head rest against it by relaxing your neck.  If the shotgun has a sight aperture about halfway up the barrel, align the gun so the sighting point near the tip of the shotgun barrel lines up in the aperture....

Article in English: Always, always, always do your research before going into any business meeting, whether it's with one person or three hundred. Read up on the company and as many of the key players that you'll be meeting as you can. Did your new partner previously work in a different industry? Did the company you're visiting just announce an upcoming reorganization? Look for things like this because you can comment on the information in order to start up a conversation. A good way to start a conversation with any individual you encounter through work is to ask them about how they got to the position they're in. Most people take a pretty wild route to get to where they are, so the conversation might even be really interesting! This is the sort of thing you can find out about if you do your research beforehand. Just be sure that the award is fairly recent, so that they'll have more to talk about if they have not been with the company for too long. For ice breaking with larger groups, pass a bowl of Skittle or other colorful small candy around the room. Then, for each piece of candy that someone took, they need to answer a question about themselves. Color code the questions to the color of the candy. For example, a blue earns the question, "Where did you grow up?". A green can signal the question, "What is your favorite guilty pleasure tv show?" If you're not a pop culture or sports person, this can feel like a burden, but the fact is that pop culture is (by definition) pretty much the lowest common denominator. Do some quick reading of the Entertainment and sports sections of the paper/internet each day and you'll be prepared to have a conversation with far more people. Workplace ice breakers tend to revolve around games. Most of the time, there will be a few people who enjoy the games but most will just feel like you're treating them like they are in high school again (because similar games are so common in schools). You don't want to demean your employees or people that you're working with by making them feel this way. Try to...

Article in English: Amateur cameras are the easiest to learn and most affordable. If you don't have very much photography experience and are looking for a camera to record your life, capture family memories, or document a vacation, you should go with an amateur level camera. Examples of amateur cameras include: T3i, Nikon D3200/D5300, Sony Alpha A3000. If you have a middle-range level of photography experience, where you have some understanding of basic amateur cameras but want to try to take your skills to the next level, choose a semi-professional camera. Semi-professional cameras have more complex features,  more versatility, and better construction. Examples of semi-professional cameras include: Canon EOS 60D, Nikon D7100/D300s, Sony Alpha A77. If you are looking to learn professional photography or looking to level up your semi-professional camera, select a professional camera. They have the most advanced sensor technology, focus system, construction, and speed. Examples of professional cameras include: Canon EOS 5D Mark III/EOS 1D X, Nikon D800/D4, Sony Alpha A99. A good DSLR can cost you anywhere from $500 to $3,000 or more, so cap a limit to what you want to spend. Narrowing your focus by sticking with your budget will help you pick out a camera in your price range.  Amateur DSLRs cost around $500 to 800 for a camera kit including one lens. Semi-professional camera bodies alone costs between $1,000 and 1,800. Professional DSLR camera body alone is between $3,000 and $10,000. Also consider the cost of other camera necessities, like memory cards, batteries, and lenses. These expenses vary based on size and type. Typically, memory cards cost around $50, batteries cost between $40 and $80, and lenses range between $100 and $2,000. Mostly all DSLR cameras are sold by either Canon or Nikon. Other brands include Sony, Olympus, and Pentax. All of these brands feature great DSLR options, and the choice mainly comes down to personal preference. Pick camera brand based on which camera has strengths in the areas most important to...

Article in English: Amblyopia occurs when the brain has difficulty communicating with the eyes correctly. It may occur when one eye has significantly better focus than the other.  On its own, amblyopia can be difficult to spot because it may not present with any visual difference or deformity. A visit to the eye doctor is the only way to accurately diagnose a lazy eye.  Strabismus is a very common cause of amblyopia. Strabismus is a misalignment of the eyes where one eye turns inward (esotropia), outward (exotropia), up (hypertropia), or down (hypotropia). It is sometimes known as a “wandering eye.” Eventually, the “straight” comes to dominate the visual signals to the brain, causing “strabismic amblyopia. However, not all lazy eyes are associated with strabismus.  Amblyopia may also be the result of a structural problem, such as a droopy eyelid.  Other problems in the eye, such as a cataract (a “cloudy” spot in the eye) or glaucoma, can also cause a lazy eye. This type of amblyopia is called “deprivation amblyopia” and usually must be surgically treated.  Severe differences in the refraction between each eye can also cause amblyopia. For example, some people are nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other (a condition known as anisometropia). The brain will choose one eye to use and will ignore the other.  This type of amblyopia is known as “refractive amblyopia.”  Occasionally, bilateral amblyopia can affect both eyes. For example, an infant may be born with cataracts in both eyes. An eye care professional can diagnose and provide treatment options for this type of amblyopia. Your child may not complain about her or vision. Over time, a person with amblyopia may become used to having better vision in one eye than the other. A professional eye exam is the only way to determine for sure whether your child has a lazy eye, but there are some symptoms you can look for.  Becoming fussy or upset if you cover one eye. Some children may become fussy or upset if you cover one of their eyes. This could be a sign that the eyes are...

Article in English: Ambrotypes are old photos that often consist of two plates of glass. One plate contains the image while the other, the viewing glass, covers the image. Only clean the viewing glass and only do so if you know which is the viewing glass. The viewing glass should be cleaned with cotton swabs dipped in alcohol. Only do a light wipe down, to rub away any unwanted dirt and grime. Stay away from the corners and sides when cleaning, as you do not want any liquid to seep into the picture and harm the image.  If you purchased the image somewhere, the paperwork may inform you which side is the viewing glass. You can sometimes tell by examining the photo carefully. Photographers often used a black lacquer on one side of the glass to darken it. The image is found on the glass opposite the black lacquer. If you do not know for sure which side is the viewing glass, take your ambrotype to a professional. You can severely damage ambrotype pictures by cleaning the glass that contains the image. Daguerreotypes are another antique form of photography from the 19th Century. Due to their extremely delicate nature, daguerreotypes should not be cleaned by amateur collectors. Always take daguerreotypes to a professional for cleaning. You can find a professional in your area by searching online. If you can't find one close by, see if you can find a professional you can work with long distance. Someone may be willing to mail your photos back and forth. Vintage cartes and cabinet cards should never be cleaned with liquid. Blow a can of compressed air above these types of photos to remove dirt and debris. If dirt is not removed with compressed air, use a very soft brush to wipe it away using extremely delicate motions. Very dirty cartes and cabinet cards may not come clean with compressed air alone. In this case, seek professional cleaning services.

Article in English: Amebiasis is a common health problem in Africa, Mexico, India, and parts of South America.  Up to 90% of cases do not show active symptoms.  This means you may not even be aware you have it. So it is always best to seek a professional opinion when in doubt. If you suspect you may have amebiasis, your doctor can perform blood tests or stool tests to determine whether or not you have the disease. These include:  fever and/or chills bloody or mucoid diarrhea abdominal discomfort alternating diarrhea with constipation. Amebiasis often resolves on its own; however, treatment can speed recovery and also prevent complications.  Complications can include severe and debilitating bowel troubles, as well as extra-intestinal disease, which means that the parasite invaded the lining of your colon and infected other areas of your body. The most common location for extra-intestinal disease is in the liver, which always requires medical treatment, and sometimes surgery as well. If you suspect you have amebiasis, or have been diagnosed with it, it is always best to seek the professional advice of your doctor on how best to proceed with treatment.

Article in English: Amistr is the best base for a Homunculus but also the slowest to level and feed due to its lack of offensive skills. If you have a lot of time in your hands, you’re well-advised to get Amistr. Leveling may take time but well worth the wait and effort.  Amistr is a sturdily-built, tank-type Homunculus suitable for classes that have low defenses, such as wizards and healers. Amistr eats Zargon. It has these four skills:   Castling. Instantly switches the location of Amistr and its master, causing the monster to change target and focus on Amistr instead.  Amistr Bulwark. Temporarily increases Amistr and its master's VIT.  Adamantium Skin. Increases Amistr's Max HP, HP recovery rate, and defense.  Blood Lust. Temporarily increases Amistr's ATK, plus a chance to leech 20% of the damage as HP for each hit.   Amistr Bulwark is very useful for MVP later on in the game. It boosts your VIT and even gives valuable defense for PVP. Filir is the fastest-leveling Homunculus in the game. Its downside is its lack of VIT. It’s quick to level, yes, but it sure dies a lot. If you don’t have time to level your Homunculus, Filir will be a good choice, but don’t expect it to withstand fierce attacks.  Filir is a dodge/high-ASPD type, meaning it has a high-dodge and high-attack speed. Filir eats Garlet. It also has four skills:   Moonlight.  Commands Filir to repeatedly peck at its target.  Flitting. Temporarily increases Filir's ATK and ASPD.  Accelerated Flight. Temporarily increases Filir's flee rate.  S.B.R.44. Commands Filir to deal massive damage on its target at the cost of its Intimacy. Vanil is the in-between solution to Amistr and Filir. This Homunculus offers high VIT and HP, and has a decent offensive skill. However, it comes with  a lower burst attack compared to Filir, which makes for slower leveling in certain situations. Nevertheless, Vanil can be powerful and has skills that can throw random elements at enemies.  Vanilmirth is a magic-type Homunculus. It eats Scell. Vanilmirth’s four skills are:   Caprice. Can cast...

Article in English: Ammonia can be toxic to tropical fish. For this reason, it is important to regularly monitor the water quality of your tank. You should also only add new fish gradually to your tank.  Fish are responsible for some of the ammonia output that inevitably ends up in your tank. When you are setting up a new tank, introduce fish slowly. Add tropical fish to your tank in small groups. Monitor the water to make sure that the ammonia levels are remaining steady. Ammonia is lethal, so try to keep your levels as close to zero as possible. 0 is the ideal level of ammonia in a fish tank. In addition to checking your water, you can look for other symptoms that your ammonia levels are too high. The primary symptom is the death of a new fish. If you add a new fish to a previously healthy tank, that fish might be reacting to unexpected ammonia.  Fish who are suffering from ammonia poisoning have trouble getting oxygen they need from the water. Ammonia causes fish gills to stick together and fish can't breathe. On many tropical fish, you can visually see their gills moving. If you can't see the gills moving anymore, your fish might be in distress. Non-lethal levels of ammonia can still be a problem. Fish exposed to ammonia will experience stress and might behave differently than usual. They may swim faster than usual or appear erratic in their movements. Remember to always take care to keep your fish safe and healthy. If you discover that ammonia levels are too high, take steps to lower them immediately. You should also take precautions to try to prevent levels from rising.  Protect your fish by carefully monitoring your population. If a fish dies, it's a sign there might be a problem with your water. Make sure to relocate your fish if your filter breaks. Consider having a back up tank so that your fish will have a safe place to go.

Article in English: Ammonia is a caustic substance that should be treated with caution, but it does come closer than any other method to creating the green brown appearance of naturally aged brass.  Ammonia will eventually evaporate off the brass, so you'll need to commit to repeating this process every time your brass returns to its old appearance. How long this takes depends on the exact qualities of your object. This process will not succeed if you do not follow the steps for Preparing Your Brass beforehand. You'll need "full strength" or "clear" ammonia, not the dilute household ammonia more commonly sold at supermarkets. The hardware store is also a good place to buy a plastic bucket with airtight sealable lid, sometimes called "pickle buckets". For tiny pieces of brass, you can use a glass bottle with airtight cap instead of a bucket. Tie it with a cord and suspend it over a small amount of ammonia, screwing the cap firmly to hold the cord in place and trap the ammonia fumes. Ammonia fumes are toxic and should never be inhaled. Work outside if possible or in a room with great air flow. You should create a stable, flat "shelf" large enough for the brass object to sit on. Use a piece of plywood for large objects, stacked on top of several pieces of wood to make it stable. Keep the ammonia level below the upper surface of the wood. You don't need too much, although more ammonia may hasten the process. Make sure they are stable and in no danger of falling into the ammonia. If they do, remove it with gloved hands and wash in warm water. Dry before returning to the wooden bucket. Depending on the temperature and humidity, freshness of the ammonia, and exact characteristics of your brass, the antiquing could take hours to take effect. Check back every hour or so to see how its progressing, taking care not to breathe the fumes that escape the bucket. Open the lid slightly for a quick glance, then close it tightly to keep most of the ammonia fumes in. Once the desired color is reached, let it dry naturally in an area with flowing...

Article in English: Ammonia is one of the most powerful cleaning tools you can use, and it’s found in a lot of the cleaners you use around your house. You can use it alone to fight those stubborn stains that don’t seem to budge with soap alone. You can purchase ammonia wherever you buy the rest of your housecleaning supplies. It’s important to blot the stain, rather than scrub, so you don’t risk smearing the stain or damaging the carpet fibers. Continue to press the ammonia and water solution into the stain and it should start to fade. Blot the stain until it’s fully absorbed into the carpet, and the stain has faded or disappeared to your satisfaction. Do this in a well-ventilated area, because ammonia can have a pretty strong odor. Don’t worry, it won’t smell after it dries. Let it air dry so that the odor dissipates completely. After it’s completely dry, examine the spot and determine if you need to repeat these steps. Vacuum over the area after it’s dry to make sure the freshly-cleaned area is blended into the rest of the carpet. Ammonia is not safe for pets. Make sure that you keep pets away from the area you are cleaning with the ammonia solution.

Article in English: Ammonia stress (the dangerous symptoms that fish get when ammonia levels get too high) is always a risk during the cycling process. If they aren't dealt with quickly, these symptoms can eventually become deadly for the fish. If you see the symptoms below, lower the ammonia levels by changing the water more frequently and changing a greater portion of the water each time:  Lethargy/lack of movement (even when food is added) Refusing to leave the bottom of the tank Gasping for air at the surface of the water Inflamed eyes, gills, and/or anus. There are two kinds: remover and detoxifier. Most pet shops and aquarium stores will sell chemicals specifically designed to neutralize ammonia in aquariums. Though these can be useful if the ammonia level becomes so high that it begins to harm the fish, they are more useful in starting a new tank as they permit to skip some water changes, shortening the time needed to cycle a new tank.   Some people believe that ammonia removers can be harmful in the long-run.  This may be due  to a misunderstanding of the process of detoxifying. In a tank, toxic ammonia (gas NH3) is in reversible equilibrium with not-so-toxic ionized ammonia (NH4+). Most of the detoxifier  products convert  toxic ammonia into the form that isn't so harmful to fish. However, after 24 to 48 hours, they will release the ammonia. That's why these products should be used:  as long as the useful bacteria is not yet established AND, from time to time make a partial water change (as per manufacturers' instructions) to remove some of the ammonia accumulated AND even if is not specified, dose the detoxifier for the whole tank, not just for the new added (replaced) water, as the already bonded ammonia in the tank will be released soon (after 24-48 hours from previous dose).   Changing 50% of the water (or more) generally prolongs the time required to cycle the tank (or even stop the cycle) just because the useful bacteria will be temporary inhibited and will need time to adapt  to new pH.. For this reason, some...

Article in English: Among Rat-Rodders, it's a common goal to try to keep the total price-tag somewhere under $3,000 as a badge of your ability to work with limited materials. If you're up for a challenge, put your skills and your resourcefulness to the test and try to keep the project as cheap as possible by scrounging for a mishmash of parts in the junkyard, or on eBay. , shocks and suspension system. You can customize your suspension using the latest in modern suspension technology, making the Rat a hybrid of old and new. Having a Model A that turns on a rail? Yes, please.  Start by measuring the rear width or rear body width and finding axles of the appropriate size. The axle should be somewhat longer than the width, and Leaf Spring rear axles are typically popular options because of their possibility for modification. Anything from the 60s and 70s is also popular, depending on the price. Install coil springs in a side-to-side or parallel pattern by welding the upper mounts on the cross member in the rear and the lower mounts to the axle housing. To keep it cheap, use a straight axle in the front, salvaged or new. The suspension from a Mustang II/ Pinto, AMC Pacer or Corvair are popular and useful choices, though ready-to-weld suspension kits are also available, sometimes for as little as a few hundred bucks, complete with frame and axle brackets, as well as template guides. It's a good investment, if you need new parts. Old truck bodies are by far the most popular choice, but you can also make use of more modern fiberglass, which is forgiving and easy to work with.

Article in English: Among a host of other benefits, regular exercise stimulates the production of NAD, boosts your metabolism, and can improve your body’s ability to repair damaged DNA. Most adults should get at least 30 minutes of daily exercise. Aerobic exercise is especially beneficial to your overall health, so try to go for a brisk walk or jog, swim, or cycle every day. If you’re not used to physical activity, talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise routine. You should also consult your doctor if you have a history of heart, bone, joint, or other issues. NAD is involved in metabolic processes and cell production, and alcohol interferes with these processes. It’s recommended that men drink less than 2 to 3 alcoholic beverages a day, and for women to consume 1 to 2 drinks or less. If you drink more than your recommended amount, try to reduce your alcohol consumption. UV rays damage skin cells, and your body uses stored NAD to repair the damage. To minimize sun damage, wear SPF 30 sunscreen every day, especially when you’re exposed to direct sunlight for more than 15 to 30 minutes.

Article in English: Amphetamine use should be treated like a medical condition or illness. If at all possible, see a doctor to discuss your amphetamine use and talk about how best to overcome it. A medical doctor can help you decide which method is best for you. A doctor can also recommend treatment centers and other resources.  If you do not currently have a physician, contact your medical insurance company to find one. If you do not have medical insurance you can find a free or low-cost clinic in your area. Also, check with your local government for medical services or benefits for low-income families. If you are prescribed amphetamines by your medical doctor or psychiatrist, discuss your issue with the doctor who prescribed it. If you are using methamphetamine, an illegal substance, you can usually discuss this openly with your doctor without fear of legal issues due to doctor-patient-confidentiality laws. Make sure you ask the doctor about the limits of confidentiality (if you are a danger to yourself or others). Medications such as Naltrexone (Vivitrol), and Bupropion (Wellbutrin) have been implicated in the treatment and reduction of amphetamine use. Consult with your primary care doctor or psychiatrist. Treatment options such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) help to reduce or eliminate amphetamine use. CBT is a therapy modality that focuses on changing your thinking in order to change your feelings and behaviors. Speak to a clinical psychologist (PsyD, PhD), marriage and family therapist (MFT), or other licensed clinician. You can typically get contact information for therapists via your medical insurance company. You’ll have two major options for eliminating your amphetamine use: you’ll either tapper down under the direction of a doctor, or seek a detox program.

Article in English: An "option" in the stock market refers to a contract that gives you the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a security at a specific price on or before a certain date in the future. If you believe the market is rising, you could purchase a "call," which gives you the right to purchase the security at a specific price through a future date. Doing so means you think the stock will increase in price. If you believe the market is falling, you could purchase a "put," giving you the right to sell the security at a specific price until a future date. This means you are betting that the price will be lower in the future than what it is trading for now. Also called fixed-return options, these have an expiration date and time as well as a predetermined potential return. Binary options can be exercised only on the expiration date. If at expiration the option settles above a certain price, the buyer or seller of the option receives a pre-specified amount of money. Similarly, if the option settles below a certain price, the buyer or seller receives nothing. This requires a known upside (gain) or downside (loss) risk assessment. Unlike traditional options, a binary option provides a full payout no matter how far the asset price settles above or below the "strike" (or target) price.   For instance, if you might bet that the share price of X Company will be above $15 on July 10th at 3pm, and you buy one binary call option for $50 with a predetermined payout of $100. If, at 3pm on July 10th, the share price of X Company is $16, then you will be paid $100 for a $50 profit. If the share price was $14, then you would lose your $50.  Some binary options will pay out if the share price is met during the determined period. So, if the share price was at $16 at 1pm on July 10th but then dropped to $14 at 3pm, you could still get the $100. The offer price of a binary options contract is roughly equal to the market's perception of the probability of the event happening. The price of a binary option is presented as a bid/offer...
