Article in English: Almost all leather jackets sold in stores include a tag describing how to clean the jacket. Because there are many varieties of leather, not all of them distinguishable to the naked eye, follow the specific instructions on the label whenever possible. The steps below are generally safe if followed thoroughly, but no method is guaranteed to work safely on all leather. Only use a leather cleaning product that matches your type of leather, ideally one manufactured by the same company that made your jacket. Always test any cleaning product on a hidden area of the leather to test for discoloration or damage, leaving the product on for at least five minutes, then wiping it off with a clean cloth. If no harm has occurred, treat the affected part of the jacket according to the product's instructions.  Suede or nubuck should be treated only by products specifically made for those types. Leather labeled as aniline, semi-aniline, or pigmented leather might be cleaned by a general purpose leather cleaner, but always test on a hidden area first. You can purchase ink stain remover for leather, but this is not usually 100% effective if the ink has dried. If the above methods do not remove a stain from your jacket, take it to a dry cleaner that specifically advertises leather-cleaning services. Always ask whether the dry cleaner knows how to treat the type of leather and stain before handing your jacket over. Never wash a leather garment in a washing machine or washtub.

Article in English: Almost all people who are lost out at sea are found in a matter of hours or days. Science tells us that the human body can survive up to 2 weeks without food, but just 3-4 days without water.  So if there is no natural source of fresh water, start looking for a way to collect rainwater.  Any source of water is great! As long as you have found a source of water, you can try to purify or desalinate it later. If fresh water is available, try boil it for 2-3 minutes. This will purify it.  If you have a desalination device, that's even better! If not, don't fret, there are actually several methods by which you can desalinate water. One such method is distillation. To distillate water, construct a solar still, or one that works over a fire. A solar still can be built by filling a large, flat container with salt water or even urine which can be re-used, if the need arises. Place a smaller container in the center with a rock inside it to hold it in place. Cover it with a thin sheet of plastic or whatever similar material you have and place a rock in the center above the cup. If placed in direct sunlight, the water will evaporate and it will condense on the plastic sheet, which will then run down the sheet and drip into the smaller container. For a method that works over a fire, create steam and condense the steam by using a large piece of metal or glass placed inside the steam. This will allow the condensed water to run into another container. You will need a shelter as protection from the elements and from natural predators as well. The best options are usually a natural shelter such as a cave, or one that you build. The next step to follow after having found a natural shelter, is to build a more enduring shelter.  A shelter acts as a home base, a warm and shady place for you to sleep in, a place for storing your resources, and a hiding place from beasts of prey as well. Ensure that the shelter above the ground so that bugs don't crawl all over you. The ocean is filled with life. Try building a low V-shaped wall...

Article in English: Almost any combination of vegetables can be used in a stir fry. Aim to include a variety of colors and textures, plus one or more especially flavorful, aromatic ingredients. Either fresh or frozen vegetables work well in stir fries, but avoid using canned vegetables, since they'll throw off the texture of your stir fry. Aim to prepare one and a half cups of any combination of fresh vegetables per serving of stir fry. Try using all of the following ingredients that you enjoy, and add any favorites that aren't listed:  Bell peppers Snap peas Carrots Water chestnuts Green or red cabbage Broccoli, or broccoli rabe Eggplant Onions Shiitake mushrooms  Pre-cooked raw bamboo shoots. Fresh vegetables should be rinsed before using them in recipes, while cans of vegetables should be drained of water. Pat them dry with paper towels or a clean dishcloth to make sure they cook correctly. Wet vegetables will steam instead of frying, resulting in a soggy texture. Frozen vegetables do not need to be thawed if they are already in small pieces, but it's a good idea to rinse off the ice crystals and then pat them dry to keep the stir fry as dry as possible. In a stir fry, the key is to be able to cook all of the ingredients quickly and evenly, so each piece is ready at the same time. The size and thickness of the vegetable pieces will plays a large part in making sure each piece is fully cooked but not overdone. As a general rule, your vegetables will cook more consistently and quickly if cut into thin slices.  As you prep the vegetables, keep each type separate. Since some vegetables cook more quickly than others, you'll be adding them to the wok at different times. For vegetables that tend to cook more slowly, cut them into slightly smaller pieces so they aren't undercooked when everything else is ready. For example, potatoes, carrots, and other starchier vegetables tend to need more time than mushrooms and eggplant. Garlic, ginger, chili peppers, and scallions add depth to the flavor of stir fry dishes. A small amount of any...

Article in English: Almost any dremel or router bit will cut through wood. A table router can be set to cut to a constant depth for ease of use, and is recommended for signs and other simple wood engravings. Always wear eye protection when using a rotary tool. There are many different bits, or burs, which you can attach to the end of your power tool to achieve different types of cuts. A few of the most common include bull nose bits for hollow surfaces; cylinder bits for flat surfaces; and the teardrop-shaped flame bits to give you fine control over the angle. When engraving wood, the level of detail is only limited by the width of your carving tool, and the precision of your hands. If you aren't comfortable drawing freehand onto the wood, print a pattern on a thin polyester film such as Mylar, and tape it over the wood. Turn on the power tool and gently lower it into the wood. Move it slowly and steadily across the entire design. It takes surprisingly little depth to achieve a three-dimensional appearance, so try starting with a shallow groove, then going over it a second time if you're unsatisfied. . If you'd like to make the engraving stand out more, try painting the cut area. Paint the original, flat surface a different color to make it stand out. Paint, or a transparent wood finish, will also help protect your wood from wear and tear.

Article in English: Almost any jar will work in a pinch. This method is probably the most effective, efficient way to trap a larger number of fruit flies. Fruit flies feed on anything sugary, so you have a lot of options at your disposal. Any type of fruit, juice, soda, or other sweet item will provide a great incentive for fruit flies to fly into your trap. Try one of these bait ideas ranked from most to least effective:  Chopped up pieces of over ripe or rotting fruit. For example, a few slices of bruised banana, a soft strawberry or squishy peach will work great. Honey, maple syrup or corn syrup. Any flavor of fruit juice or soda. Make sure to use the regular kind; diet soda won't work. Apple cider vinegar or soy sauce. The dregs from a wine or beer bottle can work in a pinch. Fruit flies are attracted to the sugars in alcoholic beverages. A funnel with a small hole will allow the flies to enter the jar, but they won't be smart enough to fly back out. Tape the funnel so that it keeps its shape. Rest the funnel inside the mouth of the container so that the narrow side is pointing down. The tip of the funnel should not touch the bait.  Any piece of scrap paper or a page ripped from a magazine can easily be made into a paper funnel. You can also make a funnel by using a toothpick to poke a hole in the bottom of a coffee filter. Put it near the kitchen sink, the garbage can, or the fruit bowl. If you're dealing with fruit flies in multiple parts of the kitchen, you might want to make more traps to set out.  Leave the traps out overnight. By the next day, you should see fruit flies happily eating the bait.  If you didn't trap any flies, try new bait and make sure the hole is big enough to let the flies into the trap. Pour a mixture of warm water and dish soap into the container. The soap works to reduce the surface tension of the water and cause the flies to drown. Wait a minute or two, then discard the contents of the jar.  If the trap is still buzzing with fruit flies, take the trap outside before removing the funnel. Rinse the...

Article in English: Almost any person can boost immunity through exercise. However, what exercises and times are best for you may vary depending on your overall health. Schedule an appointment with your doctor to see you are able to do a moderate exercise program to stimulate your immune system. This can ensure you are healthy enough for exercise, especially if you aren’t currently exercising. Your doctor can also give you tips on what activities are best for you.  Talk to your doctor about your desire to boost immunity with exercise. Let the doctor know about any type of exercise or activity you already do. Ask any questions you may have about your health and ability to do exercise. For example, you could say, “I want to start taking my overall health more seriously, especially boosting my immunity with exercise. I know I have some issues with my heart, but what type of exercise could I do without injuring myself or putting too much stress on my cardiovascular system?” If you are healthy, you should aim to get at least 30 minutes of exercise daily. In general, 150 minutes of moderate exercise every week is enough to help boost your immunity. Keeping an exercise journal or using a smartphone app can help you track your workout time and progress.  Incorporate moderate activities such as brisk walking, biking, and swimming. Recognize that activities such as your weekly golf game, playing with your kids, and even mowing the lawn count towards your daily exercise total.  Assess your current workout plan. If you are already exercising or getting physical activity every day, you don’t need to add any extra time to boost your immunity. Busy schedules can make it difficult to get in a 30-minute chunk of time. You may also be new to exercise and unable to perform 30 consecutive minutes of activity. You can easily get in exercise by breaking it up into manageable amounts of time during the day.  Try three 10-minute chunks of activity every day until you can do one consistent 30-minute session. You can also vary each activity to work...

Article in English: Almost anything can be repaired -- cobblers, hardware stores, and electronics repair shops are all available for hire.  For instance, instead of investing in a whole new couch, have it reupholstered.  Instead of buying a new TV, take it to the repair shop to extend its life or replace broken parts.  If a new household purchase is unavoidable, save money slowly over time in order to purchase the item you need. Avoid rent-to-own options.  Rent-to-own furniture or electronic equipment is a tempting offer because you can pay in small installments over a long period.  But in the long run, it will cost you more than if you had just paid the whole amount all at once. Check supermarket flyers, factory outlets, and thrift stores to help you save.  Try to find stores that offer price-matching sales so that you can save time by bringing in competitors’ ads instead of hoofing it all over to the stores which offer the best deals. Compare prices carefully.  Many stores provide direct price comparisons if you look closely on shelf tags in the grocery store.  For instance, price-per-unit shelf tags might indicate that one brand of juice might cost $1 per liter, while another might cost $1.20 per liter.  Whenever possible, opt for the less expensive choice. Buying in bulk means you pay by the pound for one large bag of something rather than buying several smaller pre-measured packages of the same foodstuff.  Doing this will lower your grocery costs.  Since grocers can move more product this way, you’ll get a lower rate per pound.  For instance, instead of buying three two-pound bags of rice for $2 each, you might buy a seven pound bag for $5, and end up with more food for less money.  Ethnic grocers are good places to stock up on staples like rice, beans, and vegetables in bulk. Economy size indicates a product you’ll pay less per unit of measure for when buying more of it.  For example, many grocery stores offer a one pound box of cereal for $3 per pound, or a somewhat larger two pound box of the same cereal for only $2.50...

Article in English: Almost as if you are a blank white canvas and your style is the art. What would you want to say to people? Indie is about finding your own voice and and being proud to speak.  Look for vintage clothes that you like. Older cuts and prints are often lost to time, and some of them are completely worth bringing back! Don't be afraid to wear something that you might think is a little crazy. Being indie is about being you! If you think it will look good, give it a shot. Visit your local thrift store instead — you will save money, help the earth by recycling, and find treasures you would never see at the mall. Jewelry, watches, hats, scarves: all of them are avenues of expression. Look for treasures in your travels, but don't forget that you can make them yourself! Your accessories should look like they have significance to you. Indie culture tends to focus on a natural look. Minimize the makeup, wear organically shaped clothing (flowy tops or willowy pants), and keep your hair looking great but kind of like you just rolled out of bed or came off the beach.

Article in English: Almost every reader "subvocalizes," or moves their throat as they imagine speaking the words. This may help the reader remember concepts, but it's also a major barrier to speed. Here are a few ways to keep this habit to a minimum:  Chew gum or hum while you read. This occupies muscles used to subvocalize. If you move your lips as you read, hold a finger against them. When reading, your eyes often move back to earlier words. Most of the time, these are short movements that probably don't improve understanding. Use an index card to cover words right after you read them, training yourself not to overuse this habit. These "regressions" also happen when you've failed to understand something. If your eyes jump several words or lines back, that's a sign that you may need to slow down. While reading, your eyes move jerkily, stopping on some words and skipping others. You can only read while your eyes are stopped. If you learn to make fewer movements per line, you'll read a lot faster. But be careful – research reveals limits to how much English readers can see at once:  You can read eight letters to the right of your eye position, but only four to the left. This is roughly two or three words at a time. You notice letters 9–15 spaces to the right, but can't read them clearly. Normal readers don't process words on other lines. Training yourself to skip lines and still understand them would be very difficult. Your brain normally decides where to move your eyes based on how long or familiar the next words look. You can read faster if you train your eyes to move to specific places on the page instead. Try this exercise:  Place an index card over a line of text. Write an X on the card, over the first word. Write another X on the same line. Place it three words further for good understanding, five words for easy texts, or seven words to skim the main points. Write more Xs at the same spacing, until you reach the end of the line. Read quickly as you move the index card down, trying to only focus your eyes just below each X....

Article in English: Almost every teacher is willing to give extra credit, even if it's not something they talk about openly to the entire class. If you'd like to raise your grade, talk to them in private. Ask if you can do some extra work for a few extra points. They'll likely be impressed that you want to work so hard – most students are dying to work less. And if you're a good student already, this can get your grade up to above 100%. What's that mean? Wiggle room for a different, harder class. Now that's a win-win. Sometimes in order to get a rockin' GPA you've got to make some sacrifices. If you're taking a hard class load, play soccer, do gymnastics, are in the school play, participate in jazz band, and head the debate team, something's gotta go – you're spreading yourself too thin. Take a step back and think about what matters the least to you. What could you live without the easiest? Then you can re-allot that time to studying. In other words, make time. Is one of your activities a daily afternoon nap? That could be cut, too. It doesn't necessarily have to be connected to your school. What it boils down to is that you need time for studying and studying well. If time isn't in your schedule to do that already, you'll need to make it. Turns out teachers are human beings, who knew? If you're a good student who wants to do better, they're going to want to help you out (when their students do better, it makes them look good, too). Don't be shy – talk to them. Ask them for pointers. Ask them what you can do to get your grades up. They may have the answer.  Some schools have something that's called "Course forgiveness." They'll let you retake a class or drop the lowest grade from a class.  Talk to your professors if something like this might be available for you. Sometimes students are on the cusp of a better grade. If a teachers knows and likes you, you may get the benefit of the doubt – a 79% could be upped to a C- instead of a D+. If nothing else, talk to your teachers to get into their good graces.

Article in English: Almost everybody enjoys receiving compliments. Giving your girlfriend a compliment lets her know what you admire and love about her. When giving her a compliment, try to make it as specific as possible. Think about what is unique about her. A specific compliment will be remembered longer and appreciated more than a general compliment that could be given to anyone.  Say things like “I really like the outfit you have put together today,” or “I’m really impressed by your taste in books.” Think about something you haven’t complimented her on before. Maybe she does a great job of handling all of her responsibilities. If she has gotten her hair done recently, notice it and compliment it. You don’t have to constantly compliment her. Too many compliments can seem insincere after a while. If your girlfriend is insecure about certain things, like her body or looks, compliment her to raise her confidence about them. Talking about your emotions can be difficult to do, but it will almost always be appreciated. Expressing your emotions about the relationship will vary depending on the type of relationship and how long you have been together. Tell her that you love her, appreciate what she does, and value her in your life. Let her know how she has made you better as a person.  If is a fairly new relationship, you can say “I’m so happy I’ve been able to get to know you. I hope I can get to know you even more as our relationship progresses.” It never hurts to let your girlfriend know how much you appreciate having her in her life, even if it is an established relationship. Making the effort to include your girlfriend in your plans and daily life means a lot. You don’t have to fully include her into every part of your life if it is a new relationship. Choose what you include her in based on what you are comfortable with and how serious the relationship is. If it is a new relationship, ask her to hang out with your friends during the weekend. If you are more serious, bring her to family functions or on a trip. What you include...

Article in English: Aloe vera is a common treatment for irritated skin. Gently massage the gel into the affected skin and allow it to dry completely.  You can find aloe vera gel in most pharmacies. You can typically apply aloe vera gel two or three times each day, but check manufacturer directions for specific guidelines regarding use. Aloe vera may reduce inflammation, irritation, and itching.  Your peeling skin may heal more effectively when moisturized with aloe vera. Cleansers – also known as facial cleansers or face washes – can help you get rid of peeling skin.  Rinse your face with warm water, then apply the cleanser according to manufacturer instructions.  Rinse the cleanser off with warm water after working it into your skin.  Use a creamier cleanser if you have dry skin and a clear cleanser if you have oily skin. No matter what type of cleanser you use, ensure it is gentle, as abrasive cleansers will only dry out the skin and cause further irritation. Then follow up with a noncomedogenic, fragrance free moisturizer. Consult manufacturer instructions for details regarding how often you can use cleansers. Topical corticosteroids are a type of medication applied directly to the skin reduce inflammation or peeling.  Simply squeeze the recommended about of the topical corticosteroid out of its tube and onto your finger.  Spread the substance over the affected area.  The amount of the topical corticosteroid you use depends on where you apply it on the body, since your skin is thinner in some areas. Consult manufacturer directions for more information about how often to apply your topical corticosteroid. If you're using a moisturizer or emollient and a topical corticosteroid, use the moisturizer first. Corticosteroids cannot be used if you have rosacea, acne, or open sores.  While you can probably get topical corticosteroids over the counter (depending on your local regulations), you should talk to your doctor before using them.  Some are not acceptable for pregnant or breastfeeding women or for small children.

Article in English: Aloe vera is a versatile remedy that helps reduce both the swelling and the burning sensation resulting from a swollen lip.  After the cold compress therapy (see the step above), apply aloe vera gel over the fat lip. Reapply as often as needed throughout the day. Black tea contains compounds (tannins) that help reduce swelling in the lip.  Prepare black tea and cool it. Dip in cotton ball and place over the fat lip for 10 to 15 minutes. You can repeat the treatment a few times a day for quick results. Honey acts as a natural healer as well as an antibacterial and can be used to treat a swollen lip in addition to many other remedies.  Apply honey over the fat lip and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse it off and repeat a few times a day as needed. Turmeric powder works as an antiseptic and has healing properties. You can easily make a paste with this powder and apply over the lip.  Mix turmeric powder with fuller’s earth and water and make a paste. Apply over the fat lip and let it dry. Wash off with water and repeat as needed. Baking soda can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with the fat lip and can also help reduce  swelling.  Mix baking soda with water to make a paste. Apply over the fat lip for a few minutes, then wash off. Repeat as needed until the swelling is gone. Salt water can be used to reduce swelling and, if the fat lip was associated with a cut, to kill bacteria that might otherwise cause an infection.  Dissolve salt in warm water. Soak a cotton ball or a towel in the salt water and place over the fat lip. If there is a cut, there may be a burning sensation but this should go away after a few seconds. Repeat once or twice a day as needed. Tea tree oil has anti-inflammatory properties and is used as an antibiotic to fight bacterial infection. Always dilute tea tree oil with a carrier oil to prevent skin irritation.  Dilute tea tree oil with another oil, such as olive oil or coconut oil or aloe vera gel. Apply over the fat lip for about 30 minutes, then rinse it off. Repeat as...

Article in English: Aloe vera juice can help to neutralize the acid in your stomach, so you may find it helpful to drink a cup or two of aloe vera juice each day. You can find aloe vera juice in a health food store or a well-stocked grocery store. Keep in mind that aloe vera juice has a mild laxative effect, so you may want to start with just half of a cup to see how your body responds to it. Fennel can help to reduce stomach acid and settle your stomach, so it might help you to cure your stomach pain. Try drinking two to three cups of fennel tea per day about 20 minutes before you eat. To make fennel tea, crush about a teaspoon of fennel seeds and add a cup of boiled water.  Steep the seeds in the water for about five minutes and then strain the water. Mustard has anti-inflammatory and antacid effects, so it is a great dietary addition if you suffer from these types of stomach pain. Try adding a tablespoon of good mustard to a sandwich each day to get more mustard into your diet. Chamomile and ginger tea may help to calm your stomach and they also have anti-inflammatory effects. You can buy chamomile and ginger tea in most grocery stores. Try drinking a cup of chamomile or ginger tea after meals to help soothe your stomach and relieve stomach pain. DGL tablets may help to control stomach acid. DGL tablets may also provide some relief for stomach pain by increasing mucous production in your stomach. The mucous acts as a soothing coating for your stomach. You can find DGL tablets in a health food store or well-stocked grocery store.   Make sure that you check with your doctor before taking DGL tablets and follow the manufacturer’s instructions as well. A common dosage for DGL tablets is two to three tablets every four to six hours. Slippery elm can soothe and coat your stomach as well, which may also help to relieve stomach pain. You can take slippery elm as a liquid supplement or as a tablet.   Check with your doctor before taking slippery elm and follow the manufacturer’s instructions as well.

Article in English: Aloe vera may be useful as a remedy for skin conditions, such as psoriasis, cold sores, burns, and frostbite. Applying aloe vera to your mole daily may help to get rid of it. To use aloe vera for mole removal, apply a generous amount of aloe vera to your mole, and then cover the mole with a clean cotton bandage. Leave the bandage on for three hours, and then remove it and wash away the aloe. Do this every day for three weeks and you may see results. Apple cider vinegar - a miracle ingredient used in countless home remedies - is one of the most common treatments for mole removal. The acids contained in the vinegar, such as malic and tartaric acid, actually work to dissolve the mole, completely removing it from the skin. Simply swab a little onto clean skin everyday using a q-tip. Garlic is another multi-purpose remedy, which many claim as an effective treatment for mole removal. Simply crush some fresh garlic into a paste and carefully apply directly to the mole, making sure to avoid the surrounding skin (garlic can burn). Cover with a bandage and leave for a few hours or overnight. This method has been said to work in as little as five days. Iodine is a good option for people with more sensitive skin, as it won't burn like garlic or apple cider vinegar. Apply the iodine directly to the mole using a q-tip, up to three times a day. Continue to do this every day, until you see a noticeable improvement in the mole's appearance. Juice a couple of sour cooking apples and apply a little juice directly to the mole. Like the apple cider vinegar, the acids in the juice will work to dissolve the mole, though it may be at least three weeks before you start to notice any improvements in the mole's appearance. Pineapple juice can be applied directly to the mole, but you should also try blending half a cup of fresh pineapple and a quarter cup of coarse sea salt to make a fantastic facial scrub. This may help to remove the top layers of skin from the mole. Combine one tablespoon of baking soda and two tablespoons of castor...

Article in English: Along with resting, icing your shin splints is a commonly recommended and effective therapy. Apply ice packs to the affected shin for 15 minutes at a time, at least four times per day for several weeks. The inflamed tissues of the shin are very superficial, so ice does not need to be applied for longer than 15 minutes at a time. To protect your skin from frostbite, wrap the ice packs in a thin towel. Gently stretch your Achilles tendon (near your heel) and your calves if you have medial shin pain by wrapping a towel around your toes and then trying to slowly extend your leg while holding on to each end of the towel. Alternatively, gently stretch the anterior shin muscles (tibialis anterior) if your pain is centered in front of the shin bone by kneeling on a carpeted floor with your feet together and toes pointed back, then slowly sitting back onto your calves until you feel the tension in the muscles of your shin. Hold each type of stretch for 20 seconds, relax and repeat 5x daily. In a sitting position with your affected leg in the air, try tracing the letters of the alphabet with your toes. This is a good exercise that stretches all muscles of the lower leg. Soaking your feet and lower legs in a warm Epsom salt bath can significantly reduce pain and swelling. The magnesium in the salt is thought to help the muscles relax. If swelling is a particular problem for you, then follow the warm salt bath with an ice bath until your feet feel numb (about 15 minutes or so). Always dry your feet thoroughly before you get up and walk away from your foot bath in order to prevent slip and falls.

Article in English: Along with the wide array of other health complications related to smoking, it can also raise your triglycerides. The single best step smokers can take to help with an entire range of health-related conditions is to stop smoking. Cold turkey rarely works, though. Try to quit gradually by using a variety of resources, including nicotine gum and other smoking cessation aids. You can find more info at How to Quit Smoking. Burning calories can also help burn off excess triglycerides in your body to lower levels. In addition, being physically inactive (often combined with being overweight) are 2 things that increase your triglyceride levels. If you are overweight, then losing even a moderate 10 to 15 pounds (4.5 to 6.8 kg) can help reduce your triglyceride levels. The American Heart Association recommends that you get 150 minutes of moderate cardio exercise each week (or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise). This breaks down to 30 minutes a day and can include anything that gets your heart rate going—from jogging to sports to swimming. Some people have a sensitivity to alcohol that causes an increase in triglyceride levels. For these people, even small quantities of alcohol can raise levels, so try cutting back significantly to see if it affects your triglycerides. Unfortunately, the type of alcohol doesn’t matter. You should cut back on beer, wine, and mixed drinks that contain hard liquor.

Article in English: Alprazolam, also known as Xanax (its brand name), is a medication known as a benzodiazepine. This medication is used to treat anxiety disorders, panic attacks and other related psychiatric disorders. Alprazolam and other benzodiazepines increase the action of a neurotransmitter, or chemical messenger in the brain, called GABA. The long-term use of alprazolam may cause dependence or addiction. If you abruptly discontinue using it, you may experience to severe withdrawal symptoms as your brain chemistry tries to rebalance itself. Stopping benzodiazepines like Alprazolam has the potential to cause a life-threatening withdrawal syndrome. In some cases, unsupervised withdrawal from alprazolam may result in death. Familiarize yourself with the symptoms of benzodiazepine withdrawal before you start tapering alprazolam. This can help ease any mental anguish caused by not knowing what to expect and/or being taken by surprise by your withdrawal. Tapering off (slowly reducing your dose) under a doctor's care will reduce withdrawal symptoms. When you withdraw from alprazolam, you may experience any combination of symptoms and in varying severities. These symptoms may include:  Anxiety Irritability Agitation Insomnia Panic Depression Headache Nausea Fatigue Blurred vision Aches and pains Severe alprazolam withdrawal symptoms include hallucinations, delirium and seizures. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. Alprazolam withdrawal symptoms begin approximately six hours after taking the last dosage. The symptoms typically peak anywhere between 24 and 72 hours. They can last two to four weeks. Remember, until you have completed a successful benzodiazepine taper, your body will be in a constant mild withdrawal state. This is why a slow taper is highly recommended. Generally speaking, tapering off Alprazolam should be as slow as you feel comfortable with. If you taper more slowly, your symptoms should be less severe. Keep in mind that a slower taper results in far fewer withdrawal...

Article in English: Alright, so maybe you're not really in the mood to put in tons of effort. But you are of the practice makes habit sort of mind, so how can you fake it? Start by exclaiming things. Whether it's "Hell yeah!" or "jolly good," or "Well sit me down and call me Sally!" is up to you. The more you react and with pizzazz, the more people will be fooled. Imagine your friend Ted walks into the room. You two make eye contact, give each other a nod, and you say, "Sup." Not even in question form. Just "sup." He responds with, "Yo." Greeting exchanged. Now imagine Ted walks into the room and you say, "HEY, TED! OHMIGOSH I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!" and then you run around to room, arms flailing like the T-Rex you've always wanted to be. Who's enthusiastic now, huh? So an integral part of "HEY, TED! OHMIGOSH I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!" was the running around bit. You can't really sit back in your armchair, eyebrows unmoving, glued to the Discovery channel and exclaim those words with the same effect (well, you could...). So the next time you find yourself thinking, "It would be appropriate to be excited right now," do something with yourself. Jump up and down. Wave your arms like a madman (don't do this in public). Hi-five your grandma (especially if she's the one who wants you to be more energetic). Make a choice and commit to it. You could do a happy dance. You could make a finger gun and pretend you're the Fonz. You could point your thumbs at yourself and talk about how awesome you are. Why don't you try them all out and see what reactions you get? When you're thinking "enthusiasm...enthusiasm," instead try thinking, "bigger." How can you make everything you're doing bigger? Try remembering this: you're not in a movie. There is no camera. You're on a stage where you have to show 1500 people in the 4th balcony that's practically a half mile away of what you're feeling, thinking, and doing. How might your behavior get grander? The next time your roommate walks in and says, "Hey, roomie. I just made cupcakes!" you're not going to...

Article in English: Alright, so you have the set-up. You're part of a group that needs some direction. However, in order to become the leader your team needs, you need to have a vision. Be a seer. Be able to identify what needs to happen. See what would light that spark to get your team's creativity pumping. Recognize how individuals work. A good leader sees the "next big thing." When the computer was invented, Steve Jobs saw the iPhone. When Justin Timberlake and Usher logged onto YouTube, they saw Justin Bieber. Once you see the next step, you also gotta see how it might come about. How can your team, specifically, maximize their potential? Who is good for what? What potential problems might arise? You cannot become a leader in a microwave. You must become a leader in a crock-pot. In other words, these things take time. You gotta be patient. You gotta work your way up that ladder. There will be very few environments where you can walk in, say "I'm here!" and casually take charge. And if you can, you seriously need to question why! No leader is a good leader who hasn't been led. You must be a follower before you can be a good leader -- or you won't understand thing one about your team. You would never elect a president who has never been a citizen, right? The same sentiment trickles down the levels of leadership. If you don't know what it's like being part of the team, you can't really lead it. So be patient, do your time, and it may come. If there's only one other thing a leader must have besides vision, it's strength. No leader has even risen to the top without a backbone, without drive, without their heads held high, without believing in themselves. Show your team that you can tackle the world head on and leadership will come unquestioned. There's a difference between strength and arrogance. There's a difference between a leader that knows he's suited to lead and a leader that thinks he's the only one suited to lead. Your character needs to be strong, you need to be sure in your decisions, and you need to be confident, but...

Article in English: Also called "attention-seeking barking," request barking is a common problem for dog owners. The first step to breaking a dog's request barking is to stop giving your dog what she wants whenever she barks. This will, of course, take some time to train out of your dog, especially if she has been "rewarded" for her barking over many years.  Try to distinguish between barking that stems from needing to use the bathroom (which is a valid need to vocalize) and barking over every minor desire, such as wanting to come on the couch or be given more attention.  Do not give in to your dog's barking, no matter how much she barks. Any concession to a dog's request barking will undo whatever progress you may have been making. Attention-seeking or request barking may be the only way your dog knows how to behave. Even after you've discontinued your reinforcement of that behavior, it will most likely take a while to break your dog of the habit. In the meantime, it's best to ignore - rather than punish - this attention-seeking behavior.  In a dog's mind, even yelling at her to stop is considered attention. If you lose your patience and yell at your dog, she will probably bark for even longer next time, because she will have been conditioned to expect any kind of response (even a negative response).  If your dog is barking, do not yell at her, or pet her, or give her what she wants. Do not even look at her. The best strategy is to distract yourself, like reading a book or newspaper, until your dog calms down or tires herself out. When your dog finally does stop barking, it's important that you praise and reward her for her silence. Over time, your dog will learn that being silent and obedient will achieve greater results than acting out and barking.  Keep treats on hand for when she does stop barking. Rewards should be given as quickly as possible after the desired behavior to most effectively teach the dog.  Vocally praise your dog when she stops barking. Say, "Good dog!" and give her a treat.  As your dog learns that silence...

Article in English: Also called pinning kits, rekeying kits are available at most hardware stores and home centers, as well as online.  Kits are available for most lock brands and come equipped to do multiple locks, but frequently work for only locks of the same brand.  Some kits include only lock pins, while others include special tools (cylinder follower, ring remover, plug follower) to remove the lock cylinder so you can replace the lock pins. You can order extra pins if you have more locks to re-key than the kit has pins for.  If you have any old locks that are too corroded to keep, take the pins out and keep them before you throw the lock away. Door knobs are held in place with a clip accessed by inserting a wire into a tiny hole. Your rekeying kit may include a wire tool for this purpose, or you can unbend a paper clip and insert it. Using a cylinder follower (a small brass tube), push the cylinder through the assembly to remove the sleeve covering it and then remove the cylinder. Use a wrench-like ring remover to remove the retaining ring from the lock cylinder. Put the retainer ring somewhere you'll find it later when reassembling the lock. Insert the key for the current lock into the cylinder and turn it to separate the upper and lower lock pins. Push the plug follower through the cylinder, using constant pressure to remove the plug. Keeping constant pressure will keep the upper lock pins and their retaining springs in place when you remove the cylinder plug. If you should let the springs fall out, you can still pick them up and reinsert them but you will need tweezers to put the springs and pins back in. The lower lock pins are roughly bullet-shaped, with the pointed ends touching the key, and of varying lengths. This will push the springs out of the way and serve as a partial guide for the new lock pins. The new pins should be color-coded or coded numerically to match a chart showing which pin goes where in the lock. You'll need either a tweezers or small needle-nosed pliers to grip the pins and insert them. The new...

Article in English: Also called quartz sand, silica sand is the primary ingredient in making glass. Glass without iron impurities is sought for clear glass pieces, as the iron will cause the glass to appear greenish when present.  Wear a face mask if handling extremely fine-grain silica sand. If inhaled, it can irritate the throat and lungs. Silica sand is available from online retailers. It is fairly cheap - small quantities shouldn't cost more than 20 dollars. If you want to operate on an industrial scale, specialty retailers can offer competitive rates on large orders - sometimes lower than $100 per ton. If it is not possible to find sand sufficiently free of iron impurities, their tinting effect can be countered by adding small amounts of manganese dioxide. Or, if you want greenish glass, leave the iron in! Sodium carbonate (commonly called washing soda) lowers the temperature necessary to make glass commercially. However, it permits water to pass through the glass, so calcium oxide, or lime, is added to negate this property. Oxides of magnesium and/or aluminum may also be added to make the glass more durable. Generally, these additives take up no more than 26 to 30 percent of the glass mixture. The most common addition for decorative glass is lead oxide, which provides the sparkle in crystal glassware, as well as the softness to make it easier to cut and also lowers the melting point. Eyeglass lenses may contain lanthanum oxide because of its refractive properties, while iron helps glass absorb heat. Lead crystal can contain up to 33 percent lead oxide; however, the more lead oxide, the more skill required to shape the molten glass, so many lead crystal makers opt for less lead content. As noted above, iron impurities in quartz sand make glass made with it appear greenish, so iron oxide is added to increase the greenish tint, as is copper oxide. Sulfur compounds produce a yellowish, amber, brownish or even blackish tint, depending on how much carbon or iron is also added to the mixture. The container should be able to...

Article in English: Also find an old stuffed animal. It is best to use a toy that you do not have any emotional attachment to, as your cat may shred and tear the toy apart. Thread through a hole or simply tie around the toy. Ribbon can also be used. This toy is similar to the puppet and fishing toys in terms of design, and you can use the string or ribbon to manipulate the toy in a way that mimics real-life animal movements. This kind of play is exciting and enriching for cats. There are a few options here:  Drag or wave in front of your cat (this works best with kittens). Let her figure out what it is, then play away. You can use this toy to teach a kitten how to get up a ladder, which leads to a bed, shelf, or designated cat space. Having a space designated just for your cat to "escape" from the rest of the house can be just as beneficial as play.  Walk around the house dragging the toy. This is useful if your cat wants to go outside but you want to keep her in. It's also good for making her tired. Tie this toy to door handles for when you're away from home.

Article in English: Also it should be the right place where they will not be able to remember anything that will stress them out and will reject.  Find a time when your parents seem relaxed and happy to have the discussion. It is not a good idea to ask for something when either parent seems stressed or tired, because they might get annoyed easy. Usually, family dinner time is a safe bet.  That being said, if mom or dad seemed stress, that could work in your favor if you're asking for a pet. You could point out that people who are attached to a dog or other pet have significantly lower stress levels, blood pressure, and a decreased risk of depression.  If you haven't completed something they've asked of you, such as chores or homework, this is not the right time to ask either. It's another easy (and valid) reason for objection, so get those chores done first. If you whine or get angry, your parents will likely think you are not mature enough to handle whatever it is you are asking them for. They'll shut down the conversation immediately, insisting that you all talk about it when you're feeling calmer. That or they'll argue that your tone proves that you're not ready. Both are situations you want to avoid! Even if you end up not getting your way, behaving maturely throughout will set the tone for future discussions that may go your way. It may leave them thinking, "Huh, maybe our child really is growing up and becoming mature." You want to leave them wondering if they should've said yes, so when you bring the topic up later, they're warmer to it. Many times parents say it's because it's somehow an inconvenience for them. Either it costs them money or time or both. Because you are likely asking for them to do something for you, emphasize that it could also benefit them. Both of you get something out of the situation, so why not?  If you're asking for a phone, make it clear that they can use your new number to check up on you. You could even be willing to talk about what happens if you don't answer – maybe you'd get your phone...

Article in English: Also known as an "overheating bath," this centuries-old technique works by stimulating the body's natural immunological response. You can take a bath at a professional Schlenz centre, but the process is simple enough to do at home. Before the bath, drink one or two cups of hot herbal tea, such as ginger, lemon balm, peppermint, elder, or goldenrod tea. If you have a weak heart, add several drops of Crataegisan to the tea to reduce the potential risk brought about by the hot bath.  Fill the bathtub with hot water. Keep the temperature between 97 and 98°F (36 and 37°C). Submerge your entire body. If you cannot fit your entire body into the tub, bend your knees so that you head is submerged. Make sure that your nose and mouth remain out of the water so that you can breathe without any problems. You should not allow the water temperature to drop during the process. Add more hot water, as needed, to maintain the heat. Allow the water to reach a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) with each addition. Remain in the bath for about half an hour. Have another person help you out of the water if you feel faint or dizzy getting out. Aside from the traditional Schlenz bath, there are other hot bath therapies you can use to induce a fever. One technique, which has been claimed to have cancer-fighting qualities, requires you to draw a hot bath, making the water as hot as you can comfortably stand. Do not scorch yourself. Mix in 2-1/4 lbs (1000 g) Epsom salts. Soak as much of your body as possible in the bath. Stay in there for a full 20 to 25 minutes, adding more hot water as needed to maintain a constant source of heat. Sip on ginger root tea during the bath to heat the body from the inside as you heat your body from the outside using the bath water.  Be careful when getting out of the bath. If you feel faint or dizzy, ask for someone else's assistance. Dry off naturally instead of drying yourself with a towel.

Why not do "Meatless Mondays" and make a vegetarian eggplant lasagna for dinner? If that doesn't sound up your alley, try stuffed eggplant, eggplant parmigiana, or eggplant fritters. Green beans are cheap, easy to prepare, healthy, and filling. What's not to like? And to top it off, they don't need too many herbs and spices to be delicious. Just sprinkle on the aforementioned flavors and your job is practically done. Here are some ideas to try:  Make Fried Green Beans Make an Appetizer With Green Beans and Bacon Stir Fry Green Beans Make Ham and Green Beans Leeks are sort of onion-y in flavor, and are sometimes even used as a substitute. If you have a favorite onion recipe or favorite herbs to pair with onions, try pairing the same ones with leeks. Just some butter and garlic works well, too (throw in some ginger if you're feeling crazy). Leeks are considered a "gourmet onion." wikiHow has a great article on different ways to prepare leeks, in addition to great recipes on potato leek soup and vegan leek quiche. Lettuce is a staple of practically any kind of diet. Since it's so watery and simple, it can easily be overpowered, so be careful. Just a dash of your chosen herbs will do.  Lettuce wraps are a great idea to avoid starchy breads, and a simple lettuce salad is a nice complement to virtually any dish. Feeling frisky? How about a peanut butter, lettuce, and cheese sandwich? Mushrooms – a topping, a flavor, or even an entire dish. Mushrooms themselves have a good flavor, but then can be emphasized even more with the right spices and herbs. They're easily made spicy and tangy, or can be toned down for a more savory touch. They too can take on just about anything, so feel free to experiment. Kick the ground beef habit and try a portobello mushroom sandwich. With your mushroom sandwich, how about a side of garlic mushrooms or stuffed mushrooms?...

Article in English: Also known as the canalith repositioning procedure, the Epley maneuver helps to reset the balance mechanisms in the inner ear by repositioning the particles in the vestibular organs (the balance organs). These particles can get trapped in the inner ear, which causes dizziness. You can do this at home, although it should be demonstrated by your healthcare professional before you undertake it yourself as it does require some quick movements. Note that the Epley maneuver is effective in 90% of cases, but it can cause an intensification of vertigo initially. Consider asking a friend or family member to act as your assistant so that your head lands in the right spot each time. Here's how to do it:  Sit on a bed. Turn your head 45° by looking to the right. Lie back quickly and place your shoulders on the pillow. Your head will be lower than your shoulders and you will still be looking 45° to the right. Remain in this position for 30 seconds. After the 30 seconds, turn your head 90° to the left. Do not raise your head during this movement. Remain in this position for 30 seconds. Turn your entire body and your head another 90° to the left and wait for 30 seconds. At this point, you should be lying on your left side. Your head should still be lower than your shoulders. Repeat this exercise 3 times daily for best results. Also known as the Foster maneuver, this is another good exercise and, unlike the Epley maneuver, does not require an assistant. One study found that patients who did both exercises experienced symptomatic relief but reported less dizziness and fewer complications when doing just the Half Somersault. You will likely need to do this exercise multiple times before you experience some relief. Follow this procedure:  Get down on your knees and look up at the ceiling for a few seconds. Touch the floor with your head. Tuck your chin slightly towards your chest so your head moves toward your knees. Wait for the vertigo to subside (about 30 seconds).

Article in English: Also known as the recovery room, this is where nurses will wait with you and monitor your condition. They will stay with you until you regain your normal level of consciousness and stable vital signs.  If you are not sedated the nurse will continue to monitor you until the numbness goes away. If your vital signs are stable for hours, the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and the nurse will decide that you are ready to go out from the recovery room. Right after surgery, pain medications will be ordered by your attending physician to manage your pain. Surgery can be very painful, as layers of your skin and muscle have been cut and manipulated. Pain medications are given round the clock or as needed by the patient. Usually, symptoms of lupus worsen after surgery. Because your system will compensate to heal damaged muscles and tissues, inflammation is inevitable. Steroids and other medications will usually adjusted to manage any inflammation in the body.  These adjustments are made by your attending physician. The physician will manage your case effectively to avoid post-operative complications and unwanted symptoms. You should ask your medical team about anything that you haven’t understood or about any clarifications on what to do after your hospital discharge. Don’t ever hesitate to ask them, as they can answer your questions honestly and help you to fully recover from your surgery. Making sure you know what to do before leaving the hospital will alleviate stress and help you avoid confusion. Your doctor will give you an appointment a week after you’re discharged, or as early as possible, to monitor your condition for any abnormalities. Follow-up check-ups help understand your current condition and what to do if any untoward symptoms occur. These follow-up appointments will continue for some period of time as you recover.

Article in English: Also referred to as mechanical exfoliation or micro resurfacing, microdermabrasion uses a mechanical suction tube with an exfoliating tip to get rid of dead or dry layers of skin. It cleans out pores and rejuvenates skin, though the process does need to be repeated every few weeks to maintain the positive effects.  While it can be relatively expensive, microdermabrasion is non-invasive and performed in-office by a dermatologist. A common treatment routine would be every 2-3 weeks with at least 6-10 treatments to achieve lasting results. Don’t do microdermabrasion if you scar easily or have used the medicine isotretinoin within the past 6 months.  If you are on any type of acne medication, ask your dermatologist before getting any microdermabrasion treatments. If you do not have dry or sensitive skin, you may be a candidate for getting a chemical peel from a dermatologist every 4-6 weeks. Chemical peel solutions contain high concentrations of salicylic acid and retinoic acid that help to speed cell regeneration. Your skin will peel for a few days after a chemical peel and then it will begin to heal itself and generate fresh, smooth skin.  These treatments usually can cost between $150 for a light peel and $6000 for a deep peel. Chemical peels can be done at light, medium or deep levels depending on your desired results. Deeper peels take longer to heal.  Redness typically occurs after a chemical peel. Other less common risks include scarring, changes in skin color, and infection. Deep peels have a risk for damage to your heart or liver because of a chemical used.  Talk to your doctor about your health history and whether you should have a chemical peel. They’re not a good idea for everyone.

Article in English: Also referred to as the Destiny Number, the Expression Number highlights the personal gifts and shortcomings you brought into this world. If your Life Path reveals the road on which you walk, the Expression Number reveals the flavor and character of your steps. Considered from the perspective of reincarnation, your Life Path Number is akin to the lesson you must learn this lifetime. Connected to this, your Expression Number reflects the core being - including your personal history from any past lifetimes - that you brought with you to Earth. The name is used because it represents the inborn character of the self as well as that which was passed down to you at birth. Similar to calculating your Life Path Number, we reduce the number values of each name individually before combining the results. This honors the individual character your name's (and self's) different facets before uncovering their combined meaning.      1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9    A  B  C  D  E  F  G  H  I    J  K  L  M  N  O  P  Q  R    S  T  U  V  W  X  Y  Z As an example, we'll take the name Robert Nesta Marley.  ROBERT = 9+6+2+5+9+2 = 33 = 3+3 = 6  NESTA = 5+5+1+2+1 = 14 = 1+4 = 5  MARLEY = 4+1+9+3+5+7 = 29 = 2+9 = 11  And finally adding them together we get 6+5+11 = 22 Since we end with a Master Number there is no need to reduce. And so Bob Marley has an Expression Number of 22.

Article in English: Also research Tracking and Squires if you can afford the 200 food. These technologies are found at the barracks. It is advised that you research Pikemen as well. At the blacksmith, research Forging and Scale Mail Armor. The Castle blacksmith upgrades are offered, but advancing to the Imperial Age is a higher priority. You do not need to build any other military buildings other than the barracks, castle, and perhaps some siege workshops if you wish. The barracks should all have one common rally point and be built near the enemy base in a row. At least 10 Pikemen should be created in order to mitigate the Knight threat, which dominates in the Castle Age. Another castle or two is encouraged due to its +20 population increase.  Research Anarchy. The unique technology is critical to the Goths' attack as it allows Huskarls to be created in the barracks - very useful, because castles are expensive and stone is generally not found in abundant quantities in the game.

Article in English: Also try shorter periods between feedings. Sometimes if the baby isn’t as hungry, she will eat more slowly, making it less likely that she will get air in with the milk. Air bubbles are often a culprit of colic, and slower feedings more often can help alleviate them. Be mindful of your eating habits and avoid substances in your food that can be excreted through your milk and adversely affect your baby's stomach. Stay away from anything that can cause bloating and gas.. You might also want to try avoiding the following foods to see if it helps:  Caffeine Alcohol Dairy products Cabbage Beans Peas Green beans Mushrooms Soy Spicy foods Oranges Strawberries Cauliflower See if you can identify what might have caused the problem. If it hurts your stomach, chances are it will also hurt your baby’s. Whether you breastfeed or use a bottle, there is a possibility in both methods for your baby to get air bubbles in his stomach, causing discomfort. Closely observe your baby when her is feeding to see if her is feeding properly.  Make sure your baby is making a tight seal with his lips and not swallowing air. Swallowing air can cause gas and abdominal pain. If you think your baby's bottle is producing a lot of air, try changing the nipple, with a hole that has a size appropriate for your baby. Or try different types of bottles. The bottles with the bag inside may cause the baby to swallow less air. Make sure to keep your baby upright when feeding, and don't allow a baby to take a bottle in bed or when lying down. This should happen each time you feed your infant. Burp your baby to allow air to escape from her stomach and relieve pressure in the stomach. You can do this by lifting your baby and gently but firmly tapping her on the back. It might be an ingredient in the formula that is affecting your baby’s stomach. As with breastmilk, different babies react differently to ingredients, and some of those in formula may cause your baby to become bloated or gassy.

Article in English: Altering your position periodically as you sleep sitting up helps to reduce soreness and encourages better sleep. If you wake up while trying to sleep, stretch your legs a bit and shift position slightly (for example, turn your head or shift your body slightly to one side). Keeping your head in a comfortable position is important for staying asleep. If your head slips to one side, move your support (pillow, blanket, etc.) to the side to give your head more support. If you head keeps drooping, you can also wrap a scarf around it and the back of your support (chair, post, etc.), if possible. This helps to hold your head in place while you get more sleep. Sleeping sitting up can be fine for a short nap, or when you don't have any other choice. However, it can be hard to get the “active,” REM sleep your body needs while sitting up. As soon as you are able, get deeper sleep in a more comfortable place, such as a bed, couch, or hammock.

Article in English: Alternative medicine practitioners are strong advocates for the benefits of ear candling, but many medical doctors believe that candling is ineffective and dangerous. Being aware of the risks and concerns about ear candling can help you make an informed decision if it is the best way for you to remove your ear wax.  Studies by otolaryngologists (ear, nose and throat doctors) have shown that ear candling can cause burns, blockages in the ear canal, ear infections, and ear drum perforations even if you use the candle according to the packaging.  Most medical doctors believe that ear candling is ineffective for removing wax. It can be difficult to perform ear candling by yourself. Have a friend or family member assist you during the process. This can help minimize the risk of burning yourself or causing other trauma to your ear. The candle should be fitted to the size and contours of your ear. This can help ensure the most safe and effective candling process.  Use the scissors to trim the end, making the opening slightly larger so it fills the ear canal. Make sure the opening is passable. There should be a clear pathway from one end of the candle to the other. If necessary, use a sharp, pointy object to remove any obstruction from the small end. Before you begin candling your ear, wash your hands and wipe off your ear. This can minimize the risk of spreading bacteria that may cause an infection. Use a soft soap that is antibacterial and antimicrobial.  You can wash your hands with a simple and basic soap. You may want to use an soft soap that is antimicrobial and antibacterial. Wipe off your ear with a moist cloth. Moisten a large towel with some water and cover your head and upper torso area.

It will be easier and safer for you to sit upright during the ear candling process. This can help ensure that falling ashes don’t contact or burn you. Be careful; if you...

Article in English: Alternatively, if you are familiar with oven or microwave drying, you could substitute these methods. There needs to be a little moisture left to help with the moulding. You can test this after each mince or blend by rolling in your hands. If the mixture stays together in a bead shape, the mixture is ready to work with. Do this firmly so that the little bead balls stick together well. Remember that the plant material will shrink as it dries to half the original size, so make account for this in your bead size. Continue until you have made as many beads as required. Use a long hat-pin, a thin skewer or a piece of wire to create a hole through each bead. Leave the beads to dry on this to ensure that the hole remains stable and of a good size as the beads dry. Place in a warm, dry and well-ventilated place to dry. Take the dry beads and thread them onto a necklace thread. Intersperse with a gold or silver bead between each or every 2-3 rose beads for added effect.  The necklace will keep well for many years. The scent can be retained and heightened by storing the necklace in a small wooden box that is closed and fairly air-tight. Keep the lid closed when the necklace is in storage.

Article in English: Alternatively, you can remove the leaves from the stalk in the field.  Your plants should be ready for harvest about 3 months after planting.  Stalks should be cut about 3-4 weeks after topping.  The lower leaves will be partially deteriorated at this time.  If you remove the leaves in the field, there should be 4 or 5 harvests at intervals of 1-2 weeks, starting with the lower leaves.  The first harvest should start soon after topping and when the leaves show a slight yellowing. Flowers will inhibit the growth of your leaves and will compete for sunlight; removing them is important for obtaining the broadest tobacco leaves possible. You will need to keep the leaves intact because they will be hanged during the curing process.  Curing is necessary because it prepares the leaves for consumption; the process produces various compounds in the leaf which give cured tobacco its hay, tea, rose oil, or fruity aromatic flavor.  Curing also contributes to the tobacco's "smoothness" when consumed. The suggested temperature for curing ranges from 65 degrees to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, while the most optimal humidity ranges from 65-70 percent.  Be sure to provide adequate space between the stalks to allow for satisfactory drying of the leaves. Proper curing should take a few weeks in order to achieve good quality.  Tobacco that cures too fast will be green and will likely not have good aroma or flavor.  Leaves that cure too slow may develop mold or rot.  Be sure to monitor your tobacco leaves closely for these signs and adjust your temperature/humidity accordingly. If curing leaves on the stalk, remove the leaves from the stalk once curing has completed. A building that can be opened and closed as needed to control the humidity and drying rate is ideal.  Some producers of homegrown tobacco have built curing facilities and may offer them for sale.  Air curing tobacco is primarily reserved for cigar use.  Tobacco can also be cured using fire, the sun, or can be flue-cured.  Fire-cured tobacco typically takes between 10-13...

Article in English: Alternatively, you could brush the top crust of the pie with cream or egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of water). Then, sprinkle it with sugar to add texture and color to the pie crust. Baking frozen pies can be tricky because the top can get brown before the bottom cooks. Oven placement is essential for a frozen pie. Bake your pie on the lowest rack, which places the bottom of the pie closest to the heating element. You can move the pie lower and higher as it cooks as needed.  One trick that may help if you have raw bottom crust is to preheat the baking sheet before you place the pie in the oven. Put the empty baking sheet into the oven as you preheat it.  A preheated pizza stone will also work. Another tip is to place strips of foil around the edge of the pie. Keep the foil in place until the middle of the pie begins to brown, so that you stop the edges from over-browning. Or, you can “tent” a piece of foil over the top of the pie. To start out, bake the pie at 425 °F (218 °C) for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to 350 °F (177 °C). Continue baking the pie for another 45 minutes. After 30 minutes total cook time, rotate the pie 180 degrees to ensure it cooks evenly.  The length of time you will have to bake the pie depends on how cold your freezer is, how hot the oven is, and the amount of filling in the pie. A good general rule is to bake the pie for 20-45 minutes longer than the recipe specifies for cooking normally.  If you added foil around the edge of the pie, remove the foil edge pieces when the middle starts to brown. If the top of the pie starts to brown before the middle or bottom is cooked, make a tent with foil over the top of the pie. When the whole pie appears golden brown, take the pie from the oven. Insert a knife into the center of pie to check if the filling is completely done. If you hit hard chunks, put it back in the oven on a lower temperature. Shield the edges with foil again if necessary. When it’s done, allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. Baking a frozen...

Article in English: Although BV is not a sexually transmitted disease, and the link between sexual activity and BV is not well understood, sex is often associated with women who have new or multiple male or female sexual partners. Although there are few cases of men infecting women with BV, practicing safe sex by using condoms is still important to avoid transmission of various sexual diseases.  Transmission of BV is more common in women having sexual intercourse with women because vaginal discharges and cervical mucus are exchanged when having sex. There is no best way to circumvent this unless you let BV fully recover or you practice total abstinence. Using a latex-free condom or dental dam during sex for the first month after completing the antibiotic treatment for BV has been shown to reduce the risks of BV recurring. Thoroughly clean any sex toys to prevent spreading the infection or even reinfecting yourself. Douching is a procedure that washes the internal vagina using water and vinegar or other douching products sold in drugstores and actually gets rid of the good bacteria. It can cause more infections and may increase the harmful bacteria in your vagina which greatly affects the normal flora causing more odor and increasing your risk for infection. It's an old practice that isn't scientifically viable anymore.  The vagina has its own self-cleaning behavior. The natural acidity in the vagina helps get rid of harmful bacteria. Douching will not affect a vaginal infection, and will likely make it worse. Soap of any sort can alter the natural balance of healthy flora in your vagina. Instead wash your genitals well with water, using your hand.  It's okay to use mild soap and water to wash the outer region of the vagina. Using hot tubs and whirlpools may also have a negative effect on your vaginal health. It's a good idea to limit the use of hot tubs if you're trying to prevent BV from recurring. Strong detergents contain chemicals that come in direct contact with your vagina causing disruption of normal flora. It changes the...
