Article in English: Using a clarifying shampoo and skipping the conditioner creates the right conditions for dreads to begin forming. If your hair has too much oil or conditioning present, it won't begin to knot, or lock, into dreads.  Avoid shampoo that is marketed as "moisturizing," since this shampoo usually contains conditioning agents that remain in the hair after rinsing. Stop using conditioner for at least a few weeks before you want to start dreading your hair. If you use chemical straighteners or another straightening technique, it will be much harder for your hair to start dreading. Let your hair be as natural as possible so your hair has the ability to knot. Dreaded hair is simply hair that has knotted together into clumps. Every time you comb your hair, you prevent this from occurring by detangling it. When you're ready to dread your hair, put aside combs brushes and other implements you use to untangle your hair. You can facilitate the formation of neater dreads by separating your hair into even sections as your hair reaches the point where dreads will begin to form. The sections don't have to be completely even, since the beauty of the natural neglect method is that it requires little effort. If you want to help your dreads along, roll them between your palms so they stay together. Rolling a few times a week will help create neater, more uniform dreads - but again, this step isn't necessary if your goal is to go completely natural. Once the dreads have formed, continue shampooing your hair regularly to keep them in good shape. If you plan to go camping or participate in an activity that could get the dreads dirty, wear a hat to keep them clean.

Article in English: Using a clean, lint-free rag or a washed finger, gently rub inside the case wells to dislodge any biofilm that may be stuck to the plastic. To achieve maximum cleanliness, try to cover all interior surfaces of the case and spend at least five seconds rubbing each area. Get out your bottle of multi-purpose contact solution and gently spray into the open case. Continue until you are satisfied that any debris have been removed. Don’t forget to spray solution onto the underside of the lids as well.  Spraying is a critical step in bacteria prevention. One study reported that 70% of contact cases contained bacteria and other contaminants.  Make sure to use the multi-purpose solution that your doctor suggested. Using a standard saline solution or wetting solution will not sanitize your case properly. As a general rule, you want to keep your contacts and your contact case away from all types of water. Do not rinse your case out with water. Doing so could potentially expose you to Acanthamoeba keratitis, an eye infection that can lead to blindness. After you’ve completed the rinsing process, set out a clean tissue or a clean lint-free cloth. Place the case and lid caps on the tissue. Place them either facing up or down, depending on your preference. Some argue that face down is better as it protects the case from airborne contaminants, like those commonly found in a bathroom. When your case is completely dry, you can then refill it with fresh contact solution. It is ready to store your contacts at this point. Consider carefully where you place your contact case during all phases of use. Cases are more likely to be exposed to bacteria in humid environments. Leaving your case in a bathroom, and near a toilet in particular, may cause it to come into contact with contaminated water droplets. You may want to consider a nightstand as an alternative storage option.

Article in English: Using a comb or brush is a commonly practiced method for cleaning an orphaned kitten. Brushing helps to stimulate subcutaneous blood circulation and may improve the condition of its skin. Brushing should also mimic the mother’s tongue as she would use it to clean the kitten were it not orphaned. This method is inappropriate for rescued kittens if they are too dirty and soiled. However, if your kitten isn’t very dirty and there doesn’t seem to be any contamination to the fur, you can easily clean it by brushing. Take a careful look at the skin and fur of your orphaned kitten to detect the presence of fleas before selecting the right brush for your kitten. If the kitten does have fleas, you’ll need to purchase a fine-toothed flea comb. If the kitten has no fleas, an ordinary pet brush will work well to clean it.  The presence of even a few fleas on a kitten can lead to serious disease, but most chemical flea products are too strong to use on kittens. Talk to your veterinarian for advice. Consult with your local vet if you are confused about which brush to select for your kitten. Brushing a kitten in the reverse direction can cause unnecessary irritation and hair loss for your kitten. Move the brush through the fur using short strokes, each about 2 inches (5.1 cm) long. This will mimic the way the mother cat would move its tongue when cleaning the kitten. Brush its whole body thoroughly including the abdomen, back, and hindquarters. Make sure to clean your brush periodically during the process as dirt and hair may clump on it and make it less effective. Were the kitten being groomed by its mother, it would feel safe and warm. Replicate this with the orphaned kitten holding it gently (never squeeze the kitten). Avoid making any sharp or sudden movements, especially when you’re holding the kitten. Brush it calmly and slowly, and speak to the kitten using a calm, soothing voice when you’re grooming it. The kitten may seem nervous during the first few brushings, but will soon calm down once it begins to trust you.

Article in English: Using a commercial bait is a very effective way to kill black ants. Ants are attracted to the bait, which is a mixture of poison and a sweet substance. The ants eat some bait and bring some back to the nest, where the rest of the colony is also exposed to the poison. Over the course of one or two life cycles, the ants will be destroyed.  If you decide to use bait, be sure you take the precaution of making sure that there are no children or pets in the area. Commercial ant bait is available in hardware stores for about $4 per box. Follow the instructions on the packaging to get the bait traps ready, then place them on your countertops, in corners and in any other areas where you frequently see ants gather. If possible, place a trap in front of an ant trail. Different types of bait traps require different preparation. Some traps require you to place a few drops of bait on pieces of cardboard, then place the cardboard around your house. Other traps simply require peeling back a plastic wrapper and setting out the traps. Bait traps take a little longer to work than spraying and other methods of killing ants, but they are ultimately much more effective. Over the course of a few days, the ants will carry the bait back to their nest and poison the rest of the colony. In the meantime, make sure your house is clean of other food sources so that the ants eat the bait, not crumbs or sticky spots in your kitchen. If you want to make doubly sure the ants are gone for good, you can spray a pesticide as well. Purchase a store formula, mix up the contents based on the instructions, place the solution in a sprayer and spray the infested rooms. You may also apply the solution to the perimeter of your home to keep ants from coming inside.  Make sure that children and pets stay away from the sprayed areas, since they can become ill if they ingest the chemicals. You can also purchase an aerosol spray to apply directly on the black ants. These are usually indoor formulas that work well in areas like your kitchen. Apply the spray...

Article in English: Using a dropper, add 6 drops of your blended oil to the salt mixture. If the amber bottle that your essential oil blend is in has a plastic orifice reducer on the top, you can either remove it and use a dropper to collect the oil or you can gently turn the bottle on its side and tap it so only one drop comes out at a time. Next take a metal spoon and stir the oil and salts together extremely well.  If you have a lid for the bowl or are using a plastic container with a lid, put the lid on and shake vigorously after you have stirred the oil and salts together well. If you don’t have either of these, you might try pouring it all in a large zip lock bag after you’ve stirred in the oil. Seal it tightly and shake it well, turning it several times in the process, before pouring it all back into the bowl. Remember: If you find that the scent isn’t strong enough, you can always add more. Just do so judiciously and slowly. Undiluted essential oils are strong, and using them is one of those times in which less truly is more. So add 1-2 drops, remix and set it aside for awhile. When you come back, it might be aromatic perfection. Again you will want to use an amber bottle to protect the essential oils in the smelling salts, though it will need to be larger than those you use for the oils. Using a funnel, pour the salts from the bowl into the bottle. Seal the lid tightly. If you have a little left over, that’s fine. If there’s enough, you could put it in a smaller amber bottle for travel or to give to a friend or family member. You want to make sure you know exactly which blend you used with each batch of smelling salts you make. As you did with your blended essential oil, write down the oils used on a small piece of paper and secure it to the bottle with scotch tape.  You could also give it a name and put it on the bottle. You could even find a photo, illustration or quote online that represented the essence of that batch of smelling salts, print it and adhere it to the bottle.

Article in English: Using a dull razor causes unnecessary irritation to skin under all conditions. Instead of gliding across your skin, a dull razor drags, which causes more irritation. Imagine it chipping away at your skin -- no thank you!  You can reuse your razor a few times if you take good care of it. Make sure to wash it after every swipe. Don't leave it wet though, as water can erode at the metal, too. Clean it with rubbing alcohol to kill all the bacteria for extra precaution. You may think lathering up is all you need do, but a badger brush really works in your shaving cream to the hairs, resulting in a cleaner, smoother shave. You may also want to look into a safety razor. It's a single blade that provides a clean cut. The blades are cheap, too! Wait until halfway through your bath or shower to apply the shaving cream. Allow it to sit on your skin for at least 3 minutes to soften the hairs. The aloe and other ingredients in the shaving cream create a surface that yields a smoother shave with less irritation. Gentlemen, you may be better off with your girlfriend's shaving cream. Products marketed toward women's legs are often a bit more hydrating and skin-softening. You can handle a pink can, right? Do this immediately after shaving to reduce the sting and redness caused by your razor. The salve works to soothe the skin and heal any irritation. Refrain from using hydrocortisone cream daily. Regular application causes skin to become used to it, which reduces its effectiveness. Regular use can cause skin to thin. Use a moisturizing, unscented, unperfumed lotion on the shaved area. Lotions reduce the impact of dry skin that results from shaving, which causes many skin irritation symptoms. Bag Balm (available at places like Wal-Greens or CVS) is a great product for all things skin-hydrating. In reality, apply lotion all the time, not just after shaving.

Article in English: Using a hot baking sheet will cause the dough to start to melt prematurely. Grease the cookie sheet with vegetable shortening or unsalted butter -- don't use vegetable oil because it'll burn between the cookies, and that's not a pleasure to clean. Some cookie dough recipes, however, have a lot of shortening or butter in it already and may not need to have the cookie sheet greased at all. Use a parchment paper or Silipat lined baking sheet for ease of cookie baking. The baking sheet is easier to clean and will not suffer from greasy build up, if either is used while baking. Another plus is the cookies can be carefully removed from the baking sheet by pulling the parchment paper carefully from the cookie sheet and placing it on a cooling rack. The cookie sheet can be lined again with parchment paper and another batch of cookies can be baked. Use a cookie scoop or measuring spoon to make sure drop or shaped cookies are all the same size. The cookies will bake evenly and taste better. A time range is often given in a recipe, so once you reach the short end of the range,  stick a toothpick right in the center of a cookie, and pull it out quickly.  If little or no cookie sticks to the toothpick, they are done.  Depending on amount of cookie left on toothpick, adjust cooking time accordingly. It is best to either let the cookies cool on the sheet, or to move them to a cooling rack. If you do not have a cooling rack, just turn a large plate upside down, and place the rack on top until it cools. Once the cookies have cooled slightly, remove them from cookie sheet to prevent them from sticking and breaking later.

Article in English: Using a jamming device is illegal in many countries, including the United States. If it is legal in your area, all you need to do is buy one and turn it on close to the source of the network. However, in most areas, you will need to resort to the more complex, legal methods below. Alternatively skip to the section below instead for legal ways to prevent neighbors from using your signal, and reduce nearby signals' effect on your own network.  Jamming can interfere with emergency radio communications and other vital communications. Even if it is legal in your area, it's best not to use a jamming device in a densely populated area. Don't assume jamming devices are legal just because someone in your area is selling them. These merchants may be breaking the law. Assuming jamming devices are illegal in your area, you'll need to use a more targeted method. Each wireless device sends signals on one or more frequencies. To drown this signal out, you'll need to operate on the same one. Look up the name of the device you're trying to jam, or use this guide to WiFi frequencies:  WiFi routers that follow the 802.11b or 802.11g standards operate at a frequency of 2.4GHz. This is a safe bet if you can't identify the router. WiFi routers with the 802.11a standard operate at 5GHz. The 802.11n standard can operate at either 2.4 or 5GHz. You may need to jam both frequencies. Some modern routers with this standard can alter their frequency automatically, which will make it much harder to jam.  If you don't know the type of router being used, try downloading a program or app for viewing nearby wireless networks. Some of these will identify the frequency and channel being used, but the free versions usually do not. You can block a 2.4GHz wireless signal by operating a microwave, an older cordless phone, a Bluetooth advice, and many other wireless devices. As long as it's labeled 2.4GHz, it should interfere with a nearby 2.4GHz network. The effect can vary between a slight slowdown and a complete shutoff, but unfortunately there's...

Article in English: Using a light application of perfume or cologne on your pulse points makes you smell fresh. However, spraying loads of it on mid-day to mask the smell of sweat is not a good idea. You’ll make matters worse if you try to cover up unfresh smells with strong floral or earthy scents. It’s better to find a way to take a quick shower or use cleansing wipes if you don’t have time. If you tend to get bad breath after eating onions, or your skin smells like garlic a few hours after consuming spaghetti sauce, choose what you eat a little more carefully. Stick with lighter foods like salads, fruits and vegetables, especially on days when staying fresh is a priority. Eating these foods has the added benefit of keeping body odor to a minimum.  Know which foods give you indigestion, too. Common culprits are beans, greasy foods and cruciferous vegetables. Spicy foods may make you sweat more than usual. If your bedroom, car, and other places where you hang out aren’t clean, it’s going to affect the way you smell and look. For example, if you have a messy bedroom and never hang up your clothes, they might smell a little stale and look wrinkled. Here’s what you can do:  Put away clean laundry right away, and keep dirty laundry in a closed hamper. Vacuum often, especially if you have a pet. Clean out the inside of your car.

Article in English: Using a massage table will give you the best access to somebody's back, and it's built for comfort, complete with a face cradle for alignment of the spine. However, if that's not available, there are a few alternatives.  If you don't have access to a massage table, then you can try using the floor, a couch, a bed, or even a kitchen table if it’s sturdy enough for the person to lie on. Each option has drawbacks that make it less ideal than a massage table, mostly due to comfort issues for the person receiving the massage and height issues requiring the person giving the massage to lean over in uncomfortable ways. If a bed is the best option available, make sure that the suggestion doesn’t come across as inappropriate. Consider the relationship you have with the person and discuss that the massage will take place on a bed beforehand. If you don’t have access to a massage table, and you’re opting for one of the harder-surfaced alternatives, then lay down a soft mat. Use a mat that is at least two inches thick to provide the proper comfort for the person receiving the massage. Since the person will dress down most or all of the way for his or her massage, a clean sheet over the mat or table will be both more hygienic and more comfortable for the person. It will also catch any excess oil. Make sure the room is warm without being hot. This is the ideal atmosphere for the person to relax the muscles you’re trying to massage.  Play some uneventful music. New age, ambient music, quiet classical music, or even soundscapes will help the person relax to their fullest. Pulsing, driving music won't help. Keep the volume low. Turn the lights down just enough so there's no glare in the room. Light scented aromatherapy candles.

Article in English: Using a measuring tape and fabric scissors is best.  Measure the window so that you know the drop and width you’ll need the blind to be. Add 5cm to the width and drop for hems. Right sides together and matching raw edges, take a 1 inch (2.5cm) seam and pin and sew the fabric and lining at the sides and at bottom. Turn right side out and press with an iron. Measure 5cm from the top.  From this starting point, you will need to mark regular intervals across the blind - these will be the positions of the dowels. These should be between 20cm and 30cm apart, finishing with a bottom section that is half the size of the rest. (For example, each interval is 20cm and the bottom interval is 10cm). Mark these intervals with tailors’ chalk. Cut out strips of lining fabric 8cm wide by the width of the blind.   You will need one of these dowel pockets for each of the marked intervals. Right sides together, fold in half along the length and, taking a .4 inch (1cm) seam, stitch the long, raw edge and one end. Turn through and press.  Pin and stitch the pockets centrally along the marked lines. Sew through all fabric layers and keep the lines as unnoticeable as possible on the front of the blind. Put a dowel into each pocket and slip stitch the ends, turning under the raw edges. Sew a blind ring to the end of each pocket 2cm from the edge of the fabric.

Article in English: Using a measuring tape, measure the height, length and width of the chair as a whole.  Take these measurements carefully. If you're spending your hard-earned money on a slipcover, you will want it to fit well. Slipcovers are available at most stores and websites carrying home furniture and decorating items.   Most slipcovers range in price from about $20 to as much as $150, depending on the material of the slipcover and the size of the chair. Have your measurements handy as you shop because most slipcovers will be advertised as fitting certain sizes of chair. If you're shopping at a brick and mortar store and need help choosing the right size slipcover, talk to an employee. When in doubt, buy a slipcover slightly bigger than you think you'll need. You can always pull, sew, and trim a slipcover to make it smaller, but it's difficult to make a slipcover bigger. For maximum durability, pick a slipcover made from a fairly sturdy fabric, like denim, thicker cotton/hemp blends, canvas, or twill. Before putting on the new slipcover, you'll want to remove any excess dirt and dust from your chair.  It’s also beneficial to periodically remove the slipcover and vacuum the chair again before replacing it to prevent the chair from getting musty underneath its cover. After pulling the slipcover on, go around the chair and tuck the fitted edges of the cover into folds around the seat.  Pull and tie any strings or ribbons on the front or back of the cover. These ties are added to keep the slipcover tight and secured in place. Use a tight knot, but not one that's too tight to undo, as your slipcover may change size and shape slightly with repeated use and washing.

Article in English: Using a microfiber cloth is a great way to clean your Ugg slippers on a regular basis. Simply run the microfiber cloth across the surface of the slippers, being careful not to press too hard to fray the suede or sheepskin material. Depending on how often you wear your Ugg slippers, you should do this approximately once every two weeks. Use a suede brush to gently brush the Ugg slippers about once every week or so. Brushing your slippers regularly will help clean off any existing dust and dirt, while also preventing them from getting dirtier over time. Gently stroke the suede all over the entire slippers. Try to move in the same direction all the way around to avoid making any irregularities in the fabric. Spray a small amount of cleaning solution on a sponge. You can purchase one directly from UGG – like the UGG Sheepskin Cleaner and Conditioner – or use another product that works for suede or sheepskin material. Use the sponge to gently dab at the surface of the slippers and clean away and dirt or other residue. After cleaning, be sure to let the slippers dry completely before wearing them again. You should let them dry for at least 24 hours in a cool place out of direct sunlight.

Article in English: Using a mouth rinse on a daily basis can help clean out the back of your throat and prevent bacteria that causes bad breath and a variety of mouth diseases.  Mouth rinses may contain antimicrobial agents to prevent disease, fluoride that reduces tooth decay, and odor neutralizers to combat bad breath.  Some mouth rinses are merely cosmetic, meaning they seek to eliminate bad breath temporarily but do not have the bacteria fighting powers of stronger brands. Make sure you purchase a mouth rinse that is therapeutic and designed to clean your mouth and throat in addition to eliminating bad breath.  Mouth rinses will come with instructions on how to use them. Most of them require you to swish or gargle the liquid for a number of seconds before spitting it into the sink and rinsing out your mouth with water. Tonsils are small collections of lymph tissue in the back of the throat that are often the cause of infections and bad breath. Some people have their tonsils removed via operation to keep these from occurring, but if you still have your tonsils they may require upkeep to prevent the buildup of bacteria. Sometimes, tonsil stones, which are concretions of food particles and mucus, build up in the folds of the tonsils and cause bad breath. They may also make you feel like you're gagging, or like you need to clear your throat constantly.  If you're having trouble with tonsil stones, you may need to regularly irrigate your tonsils, using an irrigation system you can purchase at a drug store. Tonsil irrigation systems work somewhat like nasal or ear irrigation systems do, in that a rubber syringe is used to spray water and some kind of medication in the back of the throat to remove unwanted debris. Make sure you don't use too much pressure or force, or you could irritate your tonsils or cause bleeding.  You can also buy tonsil sprays at most drug stores. These are medicated sprays you use on the back of your throat to clean out your tonsils and prevent decay.  If your tonsils are growing uncomfortably large, taking...

Article in English: Using a quiet room is the best option for training. Having your dog's full attention will help it learn any new commands. Short words that are easy to understand, such as "shh" or "quiet," are helpful. Choose a gesture to help reinforce the command, such as putting your finger to your lips or making a fist. Be consistent and use the command and gesture every time. Perhaps counter-intuitively, you need to get your dog to bark to teach her how to be quiet. You could have someone ring the doorbell, or you could rattle a toy that gets her worked up.  Allow the dog to bark two or three times.  Make a sudden gesture to surprise the dog and stop him barking. When training the dog you do not give a command while the dog is barking. Instead, you while he is quiet, you give a food reward and simultaneously give your "Quiet" command.  Do not reward the dog until the dog is quiet. It can help to gently close your dog's mouth while you repeat the quiet command. Use the quiet command until your dog can be quiet on cue. Remember that it can take some time for your dog to learn new behaviors, so be patient and be consistent! When she stops, pause for a second and then praise her. Give her treats and encourage the silence.

Article in English: Using a rubber float, apply only enough grout as you can effectively work with. In a diagonal direction, press grout into the joints to an even level with the tile.  Skim excess from tile with the rubber float. You will notice a mild “grout haze” on your tiles.  Wait a few minutes for the grout to stiffen up in the joints. Use a damp sponge work across the joints, (working along joints can drag out too much grout) to remove grout haze from tiles and finish the joints, make sure not to press too hard on joints. As you work, check each joint is full and smoothly finished. Continue this process with other joints in remaining quadrants. For joints at the wall and floor interface it is best to use caulk instead of grout. There are benefits to using caulk along wall joints. All tiles may expand or contract depending on temperature fluctuations. The wall joints are also known as expansion joints. Using caulk here will buffer expansion and contraction a bit. Wait for the entire floor to cure for about a week before giving it a good mopping to remove remaining grout haze. You may also choose to seal the grout with a sealer to lock out dirt and or grease.

Article in English: Using a ruler and protractor can help. Find the halfway point on one of the sides. Take a compass and find one of the corners on the opposite side from where you took the halfway point. With the needle on the halfway point, place the arm at the opposite corner. Rotate the compass until the arm is in line with the side where you took the halfway point. This spot will now be the corner for the golden ratio outline rectangle. Using a ruler, extend your square into a rectangle with the point you found as one of its corners. This new rectangle can be used as a basis for drawing your spiral.

Article in English: Using a screw extractor involves drilling into metal. The last thing you want is a flying shard of metal in your eye. Wear safety goggles made with polycarbonate lenses. A center punch is a metal cylinder that looks like a pen. You can find them at any hardware store. With one hand, hold the metal tip against the center of the screw head. Pick up a hammer in your free hand and use it to tap the top of the punch. Strike it very lightly. If you did it right, you’ll see a small divot in the screw. This guides your drill bit into the center of the screw. If the screw is in a tight space, use a small metal drill bit and a right angle drill. Be careful that the bit doesn’t slip while you’re drilling. Thread cutting oil is sold in big jugs at hardware stores, but you only need a drop. Tip the bottle over to splash a little bit onto the screw head. Cutting oil lubricates the metal, which means less time spent drilling and less wear and tear for your drill bit. If you don’t have this oil, you can try a drop of motor oil, WD-40, or another lubricant. Household oils will help but offer less protection to the drill bit. Penetrating oil is needed for rusted screws or ones attached to metal surfaces. It loosens the screw, making it easier to remove. Add a drop of it onto the screw head on top of the thread cutting oil. If you don’t have penetrating oil, acetone may work too.

Article in English: Using a shovel or hiring someone with a backhoe, remove the top layers of grass and dirt from the marked-off driveway area.  You might want to use a tiller to loosen up the soil and make it easier to dig out. The amount of soil you remove depends on how many layers of soil you are planning.  You should dig 4-6 inches of soil for every layer of rocks you plan to put down. This doesn’t have to be perfect since it will be covered by rocks, but your driveway surface should be pretty level—any areas that are deeper than other areas may lead to water pooling and cause mud puddles that have to be filled in with more gravel later. Use a mechanical compactor, have someone drive over the area with a bulldozer, or drive over the area repeatedly with a heavy vehicle such as a large truck. If you want to prevent grass and weeds from growing through your driveway, you may want to lay a weed barrier underneath your rocks.  Weed barrier is a woven landscaping cloth that allows water to pass through it but does not allow weeds to grow through it, and it is available at most landscaping and home improvement stores. Weed barrier usually comes on a roll.  You should be able to lay the roll down at one end of your driveway and unroll it until you have reached the other end of your driveway. Most weed barrier rolls are 4 feet wide, so you may need to get several rolls.  Be sure the amount of weed barrier you buy matches or exceeds the square footage (length times width) of your driveway. If you are using landscaping timber or bricks to edge your driveway, you may want to place them before the gravel is delivered so that they can hold the rocks in place.  If you do not want a border, you can skip this step.

Article in English: Using a shovel, dig a hole that is at least 20 inches (50.8 cm) deep or as deep as the container presently holding the sapling.  Between these two options, choose the depth that is deeper. The width of the hole should be twice as long as the diameter of the sapling root system. Add composted cow manure and topsoil to the hole, mixing it into the soil at the bottom and sides of the hole with a shovel or garden fork.  Note that organic peat moss can be used instead of topsoil, if desired. If desired, you can skip the soil amendments altogether. Doing so can make it more difficult for the tree to establish itself, but if you wish to add fertilizer to the area after planting the tree, there shouldn't be a problem. Spray the amended planting hole with a preventative "knock down" herbicide.  Doing so is not strictly necessary, but it can help keep the growing area free from weeds for two years or so of growth, giving the tree enough time to establish itself in the process. Application amount can vary depending on the type of herbicide used, so follow the instructions on the label carefully. Free the sapling from its current container and place it directly into the center of the prepared planting hole.  If the sapling is in a traditional nursery container, carefully tip the container on its side and grab the tree at its base. Carefully wriggle the tree back and forth until it eases out of the container. Do not disturb the roots after removing the sapling. Stand the sapling upright in the center of the planting hole. The roots should be completely beneath the soil line. Fill the remainder of the hole with soil and water well to help pack the soil in.  For best results, fill half of the hole with soil, then thoroughly water this soil before proceeding. After the water appears to drain, fill the remainder of the hole with additional soil and water again. To give the tree another boost and help the sapling establish itself, consider applying a balanced fertilizer containing equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and...

Article in English: Using a shovel, dig the hole in which you’ll plant your tree. You want to make sure that it is large enough to accommodate the tree’s size and give it plenty of room to grow and take root.  Dig a hole that is 2-3 wider and about as deep than the root ball. This will give the tree enough room to fit and allow fresh roots to grow without stress.  Try to dig the hole with a small "pedestal" of dirt in the center of the hole where the tree will rest. The hole should be a little deeper around the edges but there should be a pedestal of dirt in the center where the root ball sits. This pedestal prevents the root ball from sitting continuously in water. Any excess water will naturally flow to the deeper areas of the hole around the edges where the roots can drink from if needed. Measure the hole to see if it is wide and deep enough. If necessary, dig out more soil to reach the desired depth and width.  Put a light coating of superphosphate in the hole to promote a healthy root system. Using a mixture of compost and the soil you dug out while you prepared the hole, backfill (or refill) the hole. Make sure you have enough soil to support the roots while giving them room to grow.  Backfill three quarters of the hole with existing dirt, one quarter with compost or composted manure as needed. It’s important to make sure that there are no air pockets around the roots as you backfill the hole. In order to get rid of any air pockets that might be present, backfill only part of the hole and then lightly tamp it down with your hands or the shovel. Do this for subsequent layers. When tamping down backfill, make sure to proceed gently and also not use your feet because you could trample the roots. Use some compost or composted manure, if needed. If the soil that you currently have is not rich, has clay-like qualities or has the consistency of dust or sand, the addition of manure or compost will give the tree a great start in life. If the compost or manure smells, it hasn’t been properly composted and shouldn’t be used because...

Article in English: Using a small handsaw, cut about a half inch to an inch (1.3cm-2.5cm) off the bottom to aid water absorption.  Note: It is recommended that you don't cut the base at an angle, in a V-shape or drill a hole in the base. None of these methods help water absorption and they may make it more difficult to hold the tree safely in the stand. DO NOT cut the tree with a reciprocating saw or any blade that moves so fast that it will create friction. If the cut gets hot enough, the sap in the tree will seal the end and make water absorption impossible. A chainsaw or manual saw will work. That is how long a fresh tree can go without water before absorption is jeopardized. A Christmas tree should never be mounted dry. It is much better to place it in a container of water that is replenished on a regular basis. You can buy special tree cradles or stands which screw into the base of the tree and provide watering space. Or, you can go for the rougher but tried-and-true method of using a bucket filled with small rocks (put the tree in, fill the bucket with rocks around the trunk). The tree should be provided with 1 quart (950ml) of water for every inch (2.5cm) in trunk diameter. Note: ensure that whatever you use, the tree is stable. Don't whittle down the bark of the tree just so that it can fit in the stand - that outer layer is the part that absorbs the most water. It is a good idea for at least two people to put up the tree, one holding it stable while the other fixes the base. Always stand back to check that the tree is straight before you get busy decorating. Obviously, it is easiest to fix at this stage.  Before decorating let the tree sit for a while to "settle" into its shape. Some suggest just an hour or so, others overnight.

Article in English: Using a soft-bristled toothbrush, brush the speaker ports.  This gentle motion should clean grime and gunk off the speakers. You could dip the very tips of the toothbrush bristles in rubbing alcohol for added effect.  Don’t dip the whole brush in. Painter’s tape is a blue tape used when painting walls.  It has a pressure-sensitive adhesive, which makes it perfect for cleaning iPhone speakers.  Tear a short piece off and roll it into a cylinder with the sticky side facing out.  The cylinder should have a diameter about the width of your index finger. Slip the tape over your index finger, then press it onto your iPhone speaker. The tape should pick up all the grime and bits that have accumulated in the speakers. Check the surface of the tape after each application.  If you see lint and grime stuck to it, remove and discard the used tape, roll another small cylinder, and repeat. Use compressed air to blow lint and dust out of your speakers.  Compressed air is canned oxygen, and is often used to clean computers and electronics.  To get started, lay your phone flat with the screen down.  Read the directions on the can before using it.  Always use canned air as directed. Aim the canned air nozzle at the speaker from whatever distance the can’s directions suggest. Squeeze the can’s handle briefly, then release.

Article in English: Using a stiff-bristled brush or dry sponge, remove as much dirt from the pants as you can while they’re still dry. Use long, sweeping strokes, being careful to avoid spreading dirt to clean areas. Shake the pants out thoroughly when you’re done.  Brush down the pants outdoors to keep from making a mess inside your home. It’s important to treat stains as soon as possible so that they’ll have less time to set up on the fabric. Mix together roughly two parts hydrogen peroxide and one part liquid dish soap and shake to combine. Both of these ingredients contain active stain-fighting agents and will be instrumental in lifting the worst of the stains prior to laundering. Keep a bottle of hydrogen peroxide solution mixed up so that you’ll have a ready supply on hand to treat a dirty uniform after each game. Mist the pants liberally on both sides, focusing on areas where dirt and discoloration is the heaviest. Then, use your brush to work the solution further into the fibers of the garment where they can continue working on the stains.  Reapply fresh solution after chipping away at the stains with the brush. If the stains are very pronounced, turn the pants inside out and spray and brush the opposite side of the fabric as well. Give the solution time to take effect before moving on to other deep-cleaning methods. You might be surprised how well the initial treatment can work on ground-in dirt, grass and blood stains.  Leave the pants on a flat, dry surface as they sit, like a countertop or the ironing board. The longer you let the stain-fighting solution work, the better the end result will be.

Set the clean burners off to the side. Using the same toothbrush or sponge, wash the burner caps. Set them off to the side with the burners. With fresh, warm water, thoroughly rinse the burner grates and caps. Be sure rinse away all of the soapy residue. If the burners still aren’t clean after using dish soap, try a heavy-duty degreaser instead. Set the burner grates and caps on a mat to air dry. If you want the pieces to dry quickly, wipe them dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. Once the parts are completely dry, place them back on the stovetop in their proper positions. Your stove is now ready for use once again.

Article in English: Using a top down strategy means you, as a listener, calling on information you already know (about the subject you and your partner are discussing, your partner, the context of your conversation, and the specific language being used to create the conversation), in order to plan what you will say next. Using this kind of strategy allows you, as a listener, to process what you have already heard, and gauge where the conversation is headed. For example, you can show that you've been paying attention by explaining and giving a short summary of how you yourself understand the situation the speaker is explaining. Some other components of this strategy involve:  Anticipating. Paraphrasing. Differentiating fact from opinion. Interpreting tone.  Drawing conclusions. Using a bottom-up strategy means using specific lingual signifiers to draw meaning from what the speaker you're listening to is saying. These signifiers include the actual language the speaker uses to express themselves, the grammar used to create their message, and the sounds used to create the message. Some other components of this strategy include:  Picking out individual words. Noting words of similar origin. Identifying placement patterns of words. "Identifying prefixes, roots, and suffixes". Interrupting someone while they are speaking is the exact opposite of listening to what they have to say, and it sends a lot of bad messages like:  “What I have to say is more interesting and meaningful than what you have to say.” “You and your opinion is less important than me and my opinion.” “I don’t have time to hear how you think or feel.” “What you have to say isn't worth listening to.” “I'm going to do whatever I can so I get to speak, regardless if you get your turn.” Rather than interrupting the speaker to ask a question, wait for a natural break, and then ask your question. It engages the speaker to hear your thoughts and areas of confusion, shows that your interested enough to want clarification, and it follows the natural pattern of a back and forth...

Article in English: Using a tractor or hoe, form mounds of earth (hills) to plant seeds in. Space these 2-6 feet (60cm-1.8m) apart, depending on the amount of space you have. Building the soil up at individual planting locations helps assure that the soil is loose enough for the roots to grow, allows oxygen to each them with ease, and lets excess moisture drain away from direct contact with the roots of your plants. It also helps to conserve available moisture in dry weather. Form a flat, slightly concave surface on the top of the hill, then poke three or four holes in the soil with a tool or your finger, about 1 inch (2.5cm) deep. Place one to four seeds in each hole, then rake the dirt flat over the top of the seeds, and lightly press the soil to pack it sufficiently to keep the moisture from quickly evaporating around the seed. The seeds should germinate and plants will emerge in about 7-10 days, depending on the soil temperature and the depth they are covered when planted.  Keep the soil moist around the seeds during the germination period; water close enough so that the water reaches the small roots forming.  When the seedlings grow, thin to the two strongest, to give the strong one room to grow. Don't let the soil dry out; you should water at least once daily. You can choose pine straw, lawn fabric, or compost. Try to apply the mulch as close to the plants as possible to help prevent weeds, to retain moisture, and to keep the soil from being overheated from direct sunlight around the shallow, new roots. Another option is to lay black landscaping fabric or plastic cloth down after you have made the hills, and then cut holes on top of each hill where you will plant seeds. You can also lay mulch on top of the cloth. This method helps to retain soil moisture and keep weed pressure down. After the flowers bloom, water approximately every 3 days if dry. However, don't over-water, as watermelons have a low water requirement.  Keep the foliage and fruit dry. You can place fruit onto a clean piece of wood, large smooth pebble,...

Article in English: Using a vacuum equipped with a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter will ensure that you're sucking up as much dust as possible. Vacuum all the carpeting in your home, focusing especially on high-traffic areas. You can also vacuum other flooring. Vacuuming frequently really cuts down on how much dust is able to build up under furniture and in corners - you'll probably notice a difference right away.  Be sure to change your vacuum filter frequently. Make sure your vacuum is in good working order. A broken vacuum will just spit the dust back into the air, making the problem worse. Using a broom and dustpan to get rid of the dust on the floors you don't vacuum is another great way to reduce your household dust. Sweep frequently in areas that tend to have a lot of dust, like doorways, hallways and the kitchen floor. Toss out the dust in your garbage can to make sure it doesn't reenter your household. Going over your flooring with a wet mop is a great way to collect the dust you missed while sweeping. If you mop frequently, you'll be able to get the dust under control. Letting it go too long will make it a lot more difficult to clean up all the dust and dirt, and you may need to do some scrubbing. Not all dusting cloths are made alike. If dust is an issue in your house, it might be time to spring for a microfiber dusting cloth. This fabric is designed to trap dust and hold it. Using an old t-shirt or towel tends to move the dust around rather than actually getting rid of it. Same goes for feather dusters - your furniture will look cleaner, but the dust particles have simply moved into the air.  Use microfiber cloths to dust all surfaces where dust tends to accumulate, like the top of your mantel, desk, side tables, and so on. Wet cloths tend to collect dust better than dry cloths, so when you're dusting furniture that isn't wooden, try wetting the cloth first. Wash microfiber cloths immediately after dusting to get rid of everything the cloth collected. Don't use dryer sheets when you run them through the...

Article in English: Using a warm compress is one of the easiest ways to ease pain from a cyst and encourage it to drain as well. Get a clean washcloth and hold it under warm to hot running water. Then, wring out the excess water and apply the washcloth to your cyst. Hold it there for about five minutes or until the washcloth becomes cool. You can repeat this process several times per day. Use a mild soap to wash around the area of your cyst and allow the water and soap to run over the cyst. Try not to apply too much pressure to the cyst itself or you may irritate it or cause it to burst and this can lead to infection. If your cyst bursts or starts to drain fluid, place a clean, loose fitting cotton bandage over the cyst to catch the fluid. Change the bandage often and keep the area clean. Do not try to squeeze, pop, or puncture a cyst or it may become infected. This might be hard to do, especially if the cyst is bothering you, but popping or puncturing a cyst will make it worse and you may have scars as a result.

Article in English: Using a warm, wet cloth, take a few passes at the spot to get the worst of the mess out of the way. Because of the way carpet and fabric upholstery are made, much of the droppings will collect and harden at the top of the fibers, making the bulk of it easier to wipe away. Use pinching, pulling motions with the wet cloth to coax the droppings out of the carpet or upholstery. Depending on exactly what type of surface you’re cleaning and what materials it’s made of, you’ll want to purchase some special cleaner that is guaranteed to work safely on that surface. Most standard carpet cleaners or all-purpose household cleaners will be mild enough to work on any kind of carpet, and foaming upholstery cleaners can be found at any supermarket or drugstore. Spray enough cleaner onto the spot to cover what’s left of it. If you do not have any specialized carpet cleaner on hand, you also have the option of mixing up a gentle solution consisting of mild laundry detergent, vinegar and warm water. Give the cleaner two or three minutes to sit on the spot. The chemical compounds in the cleaner will begin to eat away the hardened stain, making it easy to wipe away later. Use a damp washcloth to go over the spot once again. The stain-fighting power of the cleaner combined with the force of scrubbing by hand should be enough to take the spot out of your carpet or upholstery. If any traces are left after scrubbing, spray a little more cleaner on the spot, let it sit, then make a second attempt.  Scrub forcefully to ensure that you get as much of the dried-on mess out of the deeper layers of the carpet as you can. Always wash any washcloth or towel that comes into contact with bird poop right away.

Article in English: Using accessories to spruce up a well-fitting base wardrobe is a great way to stay both on trend and on budget. Trendier items can be more expensive. Make sure you are budgeting accordingly. Look for bargains on t-shirts and jeans so that you can splurge on the occasional trendy dress or pair of shoes. Trends tend to reemerge over time. Consignment shops and thrift stores are great places to find extremely affordable clothing in older styles. This is a way to enliven your wardrobe when an older style comes back into fashion. While it is easy to get wrapped up in keeping up with fashion trends, set a monthly monetary limit so you do not spend more than you are able to on clothes. Remember that fashion trends change so quickly that it is impossible to keep up completely. Buying a few items a month will keep your wardrobe lively without exhausting your wallet.

Article in English: Using acupressure on the area around your nose may be able to relieve congestion and headaches that come from having a runny nose. Clearing the mucus from your nose is the best way to get it to stop running, so gently blow your nose into tissues when you need to. If your nose is extremely runny, rip a tissue in half, roll the pieces into 2 small balls, and place one in each nostril. Breathe normally, or through your mouth. To ease the pressure in your nose and help it stop running, take a hot bath or shower and let the room get steamy. You can also drape a towel over your head and lean over a pot or bowl of hot water, or turn on a hot shower and simply sit in your bathroom without actually getting in. Do this 2-4 times per day.  You can also use a vaporizer or humidifier for the same effect. For an extra kick, add eucalyptus oil, camphor spirit, or peppermint oil. Pour a bit into your bowl of hot water, or flick some around your shower before you turn it on. Dip a washcloth into warm water, or run it under the sink until it’s saturated. Wring it out until it’s just damp, then place it over your face for 2-3 minutes. You can also wet the wash cloth, then heat it up in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, or until it’s warm. Resting is important when your body is fighting off annoying symptoms like a runny nose. When you lie down to rest, prop your head up on a couple of pillows to encourage the fluids in your nose to drain naturally. This position will also help you breathe easier. Keeping your body hydrated encourages the fluids in your nose to drain away, which will help your nose stop running. Try to drink a glass of water every hour or so, and mix in hot liquids like herbal tea or even soup to soothe your nose even more. Mix 1 cup (240 ml) of warm water, ½ tsp (3 g) of salt, and a pinch of baking soda. Use a syringe, a small spray bottle, or a neti pot to apply the saline spray to the inside of your nose 3-4 times a day. Be careful not to overuse your saline spray, which can actually make your runny nose worse.

Article in English: Using an earthy color will accent the brown in your eyes, causing them to look deeper and darker. Look for a brown palette with a range of colors so you can experiment with hues that bring out the best in your eye color.  For daytime wear, look for neutral, sandy or milk chocolate tones that accent your eyes without standing out too much. For nighttime wear, look for dark chocolate or shimmery gold tones that draw attention to your eyes.

Article in English: Using an electric hair straightener can change and damage the structure of keratin fibers in your hair. If you’re trying to improve and increase keratin, blow dry your hair straight on a cool setting rather than using a straightening iron. Bleaching your hair damages keratin and your hair’s cuticles. Using gentle dyes are okay, but avoid bleaching your hair if you want strong, healthy keratin. Protect your hair from those strong summer rays, which can act like bleach on your hair and damage keratin. Wear a wide brimmed hat or cover yourself with an umbrella if you’ll be outdoors.  Fine, light-colored hair is more vulnerable to sun damage than thicker, coarser hair. Protect your skin from sun damage by covering up or wearing sunscreen on exposed skin. Pools and hot tubs contain a lot of chlorine, a chemical that dries out your hair and damages keratin. If you’re going to swim in a pool, rinse your hair well with clean water afterwards.

Article in English: Using an incubator will ensure the egg stays at the right temperature for hatching. You can get a small incubator for eggs with a fan at your local pet store or online.  The incubator should also come with a wet bulb thermometer to allow you to monitor the relative humidity. You can sometimes find used incubators online for a lower price. Make sure the incubator’s fan and temperature gauge works properly before you buy it used. Make sure the table is indoors and sturdy. Pick a spot by an inside wall that does not get any direct sunlight via a window, or heat from other sources like an oven. This will ensure the temperature and humidity of the incubator are undisturbed. Make sure the ventilation holes on the incubator are not covered or obstructed by anything around it. Set the temperature to 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit (37.5 degrees Celsius). Put the relative humidity to 84.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Allow the incubator to warm up one to two days before you put the egg in. Make sure you set the ventilation in the incubator based on the manufacturer’s recommendations. A broody duck or chicken hen can be used as a live incubator if you have access to one. Place the egg under a broody duck or chicken hen and wait 27 to 29 days. Use a muscovy duck, as they are able to hatch 12-15 duck eggs at a time. Put the nest box in a clean dry shelter. Provide feed and water for the broody duck while it incubates the egg.

Article in English: Using an old rag balled up, plug the hole, as you will want to prevent gases from rising into your home and keep tools from disappearing into the floor! Just remember to remove this rag when you put the new toilet in place. Pull the old bolts out of the flange (you will probably need to pull them to the side a little, as are placed like a nail hanging a picture frame). Dispose of the old bolts in an appropriate manner. Remove everything that remains of the old wax seal. You can use a putty knife, a rag, and any other tools you need. Wipe it clean when you are done. This is the round plastic or metal circle which was under the wax. Inspect the flange: if it looks damaged it may need to be replaced. You can also buy an adaptor (or super flange) if the original is a bit cracked or damaged. With the flange in good shape, you can now place new bolts into the flange. They should go in the long channels, in much the same way you hang a picture frame. Place the new toilet on its side on top of a towel or other padded surface. Then place the new wax seal over the hole, with the plastic or rubber facing out. Push it hard into place and turn it slightly like a doorknob to get it to stick in place. This is very important! Don’t forget to remove the rag!

Article in English: Using any round object, trace a circle on two pieces of paper and cut them out with scissors. Make sure the two circles are the same approximate size.  You can use any size circle. Just remember that the bigger the circle, the bigger the lantern. You can use a plate, the lid off a tub of ice cream, the bottom of a bucket, or any other round object. You can also use any kind of paper you want: regular white printer paper, colored cardstock, decorative patterned paper, etc. Cut off a tiny bit on the point of the triangle, making a hole in the center of the paper. Repeat steps 2-6 on the second circle that you cut out so that you end up with two identical cut-up circles.

Article in English: Using assertive communication skills means saying how you think and feel in a respectful and appropriate way. When you are assertive, you admit when you are wrong and take ownership of your personal faults. You do not blame others for your mistakes.  Avoid passivity, which involves avoiding talking about it, hiding, going along with what everyone wants you to do, and not standing up for yourself. Do not be aggressive, including: raising your voice, yelling, belittling, cursing, and violent behaviors (throwing things, hitting). Avoid being passive-aggressive. This is a mix between passive and aggressive forms of communication where you may be upset but not be forthcoming with your feelings. Therefore, you may do something behind someone’s back to get revenge or give them the silent treatment. This is not the best form of communication and the person may not understand what you are trying to communicate or why. Send positive nonverbal messages. Our nonverbal communication sends messages to the people around us. A smile says, “Hey, I should be frowning, but I can be brave and get through this thing." Let the person that is upset vent his frustrations and wait to respond.  Try to focus solely on listening to the person instead of thinking about how to respond. Focus on the other person's feelings and thoughts instead of your own. Make summary statements and ask clarifying questions, such as, "I hear you saying that you are angry because I forgot to clean the bathroom, is that right?" Empathize. Try to be understanding and put yourself in the other person's shoes. When we make mistakes we sometimes hurt others. Saying you are sorry shows that you regret the mistake, feel bad about the harm you’ve done, and that you want to do better in the future.  Don’t give excuses or try to explain it away. Simply own up to it. Say, "I admit I forgot to clean the bathroom. I am so sorry about that." Be careful not to blame others. Do not say something like, "If you would have reminded me to clean it then maybe I would have...

Article in English: Using bad words can reflect poorly upon you. In many circles, people who swear are seen as uncultured, uneducated, unrefined, immature, or worse. On the internet, swearing can get you banned from all sorts of social sites. Additionally, if you are using swear words directed at other people, you may be seen as a bully, unreasonable, or abusive. So there are many reasons to get your language under control. Take a few moments to consider why you want to quit, and how getting your language under control may improve your relationships and public image. Figure out your triggers and bad habits. Get a notebook and a pen, and spend a week noting your cussing. When do you curse most? Is it around certain people, at certain places? Notice what are your environmental triggers. Is it when you are in traffic? When you have an irate customer on the line? Is it when you are stressed, frustrated or angry? Write down the words and the situations for a week. This will help you become aware of your behavior, which is the first step in changing it. Tell some trusted, kind friends and family that you want to stop cursing and enlist their help. Ask these people to tell you when you cuss. If you do this step, realize that you will be getting critiqued. Decide ahead of time, if you can handle this kind of feedback. If not, skip this step. But if you do enlist help, make sure you do not get mad at your helpers for critiquing your cussing - after all, they are only doing this to help you. At the end of your observation week, spend an hour going over your notebook. Brainstorm alternatives to your cussing. Figure out other, healthier ways to express your feelings.  Instead of saying "#@$% the management!", say "I am really frustrated with the management right now" or some equivalent. Note how much more powerful and better received your thoughts and feelings are when you do not cuss. You can also substitute more neutral words like darn, rats, flipping, crud, oh man, dang it, shiz, sugar, shoot, fiddlesticks, etc. in place of your normal...

Article in English: Using cold air will help you create water vapor from your mouth, which will appear to be smoke. If it is winter, use the cold air outside, or use the cold air coming from your freezer. Using winter air is easy to do, but because many people know how to do this, it's not a very clever way to produce smoke. Try to use a freezer if possible because it will give you a more exciting effect. Keep in mind that because the source of cold air from the freezer is smaller, smoke may be harder to produce or be more difficult to see.

Article in English: Using coping skills and being able to soothe yourself when you feel unhappy with being alone is important. There are many ways you can self-soothe and which ones you choose will be very personal. The more ideas you explore, the better you will become at turning your negative mood around and feel happy about being alone.  Try journaling. Write down anything you want. Write about your thoughts, feelings, goals, and plans. Write down your dreams and aspirations. Think about positive memories. Identify times in the past when you enjoyed spending time with others. Visualize this time in your mind and relish in it. This can increase your temporary sense of well-being. Some people find that they are happier and less lonely when engaging in spiritual activities such as prayer or religious tradition (attending church). Enjoy spending time with yourself. Tell yourself that you have chosen to spend time with yourself. If you feel like you're making the choice to be alone, then you may automatically feel more positive about it.  Realize that you are choosing to be alone and you have control.  Avoid a victim mentality. Tell yourself, "It's okay to be alone. Everyone is alone sometimes. I can deal with it." If you find yourself fixating on negative thoughts, such as, "I'm alone because no one wants me," you are falling into a negative thinking pattern. Try reframing the situation with a positive mental script. When these negative thoughts come, acknowledge them, but then remind yourself of the positive side of your situation. Say something like, "Wait a second. I might be alone now, and this isn't a bad thing. I have tons of time to myself to do whatever I want, time I wouldn't have if I were in a relationship. Things change, and I won't always be alone and have this much freedom, so I should make the most of this time." ” Whenever you think you are alone and you are feeling sad, remind yourself that you are never alone. You always have yourself there. So, focus on connecting with and being friends with yourself. The...

Article in English: Using eye contact to flirt with a girl is a great way to get her paying attention to you. Play an eye flirting game.  Glance in her direction and wait for her to look over at you.

I could see how beautiful your eyes are from all the way over there.” If you see a girl your want to pick up in a store, try going up to her and asking for fashion advice.

Saying something like this will make her think you appreciate her knowledge and get her to look you in the eyes. Once she gives her answer you can continue the conversation. Try saying “Thanks. Wow, you have beautiful eyes. I bet everything in this store would look good with your eyes!” A great way to pick up a girl at the mall is to be upfront and approach her directly.

Article in English: Using hanging food dishes (hanging from the ceiling by chains) tends to keep mice from getting into the food. Keep the water elevated or protected in some way as well so that you do not get droppings in it. Alternatively, use a 3 or 4 gallon (11.4 or 15.1 L) bucket for water. Peacock chicks should get a high protein diet for their first 3 months of life. Look for a Game Bird feed crumble of about 25 to 30% protein. As they get older, begin to wean them off the crumble; too much protein in a grown peacock can cause serious leg deformities. After three months, the chicks should be weaned to either Game bird feed or Game bird pellets (Note that pellets are best for birds in cages with wire bottoms). This can generally be done using a 6 week transition schedule, but you should pay close attention to the response of your chicks. If they stop eating the feed, continue feeding them what they will eat and try again another day. The six week program is as follows:   Week 1: 3 parts crumble to 1 part adult food.  Week 2: 2.5 parts crumble to 1 part adult food  Week 3: 2 parts crumble to 1 part adult food  Week 4:1.5 parts crumble to 1 part adult food  Week 5:1 part crumble to 1 part adult food  Week 6: .5 part crumble to 1 part adult food  Week 7: All adult food. While too many treats can cause health problems, giving your peacocks a little something special now and then can be helpful in keeping them from straying or to help them swallow medicine. To treat your peacock, consider giving him fruits, vegetables, bread, unsweetened cereals, dog food, or cat food. Do not give them small bones, as they may choke.

Article in English: Using moisturizer can help hydrate your skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, including those around your mouth. For the best results, use skin moisturizer that contains collagen, which can help plump up and repair your skin. . Exfoliating can help remove dead skin cells to reveal the healthier, younger skin cells that lie beneath and reduce fine lines caused by laughing and smiling. Purchase a skin exfoliant for your skin type. Wet your face with warm water and rub the exfoliant on your face with a washcloth in circular motions. Rinse your face with warm water. There are many different oils you can use to prepare your homemade remedy, but the brown sugar and coconut oil combo is a classic. Mix two tablespoons of brown sugar with two tablespoons of coconut oil and apply it on your face in soft circular motions. After a few minutes, rinse your face with warm water. The exfoliating brown sugar and moisturizing coconut oil will refresh your face, and also help reduce your laugh lines in the long term. Sun damage can cause and worsen existing laugh lines. Apply sunscreen or sunblock to your face on a daily basis, spend more time in the shade, and wear a hat to protect your skin and reduce laugh lines. Aim for a sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 or higher for daily usage, and an SPF of 30 for intense or extended outdoor activities such as beach days or picnics.  You can also use foundations with sunscreen to both protect your skin from the sun and hide your fine lines and wrinkles. While you try to get rid of laugh lines, in the meantime, you can use blurring creams or primer to fill them in and smooth the skin around your mouth and lips. After putting on sunscreen but prior to foundation or powder, place a bit of primer or blurring cream on your finger, and use your finger to gently fill in laugh lines prior to applying the rest of your makeup. Dermal fillers are gels intended to fill the hollow surfaces on skin, including those caused by lines and wrinkles. Some of the...

Article in English: Using multiple anti-aging products, such as wrinkle creams, can actually work against you. Multiple products can irritate your skin, which does not help you with aging. Stick to one main product directly aimed at anti-aging. Before you slather a cream all over your face, it's best to test it on your skin. Put a small amount on the side of your neck. Leave it on for 24 hours, checking to see if you have a reaction to the cream, such as a rash. If you do, you don't want to use it on your face. Just because a product is more expensive, that does not mean it's more effective. Some less-expensive products can have the same or similar ingredients. You may think you are able to self-diagnose your skin, but a professional can help you decide what you actually need. Ask your dermatologist what's best for your skin. You may also consider talking to other skin care professionals.

Article in English: Using multiple senses can help you retain more information, so even just saying the words out loud and then hearing them can be helpful. Don’t worry about looking foolish reading your biology notes to your dog. You’ll be happy if it helps you ace your next exam. If you’re in the library or somewhere else you can’t speak aloud, try mouthing the information. Similar to reading your notes out loud, talking about what you are learning can also help you retain the information better. You can either study with a friend and quiz each other, or you can try to teach the material to a parent or younger sibling.  Using your brain to figure out a way to teach the material to someone else causes you to think about the material more in-depth and analytically. You will be able to figure out which materials you need to further study if you have a difficult time teaching the concept to someone else. Putting pen to paper and either taking notes on what you’ve read or simply re-writing over and over a formula or concept you’re trying to master can really help.   It can also be helpful to write out an outline of the materials you are trying to learn. Just the process of organizing the materials in a visual manner can help your brain recall the information in an organized manner. You can also write out flashcards with important facts, dates, or formulas on them. This is doubly helpful, since the act of writing will help you remember, and the flashcards are a portable tool you can review while riding on a bus or waiting for an appointment. If you’re reading, summarize each paragraph in the margins. You are in effect teaching it to yourself when you summarize and analyze it. If you can locate a practice exam or one used in the past, this can be a good tool for figuring out what you have mastered and which topics you still need to study.  Once you finish the practice test, research the material you did not know and try another test again in a few days. Remember not to limit your studies to only those items found on the practice...

Article in English: Using one to two pillows to raise your head four inches will make it easier for you to breathe as you sleep. You may also want to consider buying pillows that are specially designed to keep your neck muscles relaxed and open, allowing you to get a more comfortable sleep.  Sleeping with your head elevated can be especially helpful for those who have sleep apnea or acid reflux. You may need to try sleeping on one to two pillows for a few nights to determine how many pillows you require to be comfortable when sleeping at night. You may want to consider orthopedic pillows that conform to your neck and head and provide good support as you sleep. Wedge-shaped foam pillows can also support your head and help you breathe properly when you sleep on your back. Sleeping on your back can put stress on your spine and your lower back. Place one to two pillows under your knees before you go to bed so that your spine is properly supported and there is less stress placed on your lower back. When you are sleeping on your back, it is essential that your mattress provides good full-body support, including lower back support. In a mattress, support is provided through the coils or inner springs. Different mattresses will have different arrangements and numbers of coils. As well, the padding of the mattress can come in different thicknesses, from seven to 18 inches deep. You should always try a mattress before buying it to ensure it is comfortable and supportive for your body.  Often, a medium firm mattress is more comfortable as it allows your shoulders and hips to sink in slightly. If you have lower back pain, you may want to consider a firmer mattress with a padded cover for support. Check your existing mattress to make sure it does not sag at all or cause you any discomfort. If so, it may be time to invest in a new mattress. Though you can use boards underneath the mattress to help with the sagging, this is a temporary fix and you will eventually need to buy a new mattress to get a good night's sleep. Dry air can irritate your...

Article in English: Using one with molded cups and padding helps hide your extra stuffing. It should be about twice the size of your bra cup. The folded piece should be about the size of your bra cup. If it's too large, pieces will stick out and give your secret away. Trim off a bit at the end. Repeat this step on the other side.  Use one piece of tissue per cup. If you add more, they're more likely to bunch up and ruin your silhouette. If you're not satisfied with the amount of boost, try thicker tissues or 3- or 4-ply toilet paper. If it looks uneven, go back to the beginning and repeat with a fresh tissue. Tissues are not the material of choice, since they absorb and hold moisture from perspiration, losing their shape and making you uncomfortable. However, this method will work if you're in a bind.
