Article in English: Pseudomonas usually produce mild symptoms in healthy people with strong immune systems. These infections may be water-borne. There have been reports of:  Eye infections in people who use extended-wear contact lenses. To avoid this, change your contact lens solution instead of topping it up. Do not wear your contacts for longer than recommended by your doctor or the manufacturer's instructions. Ear infections in children after swimming in contaminated water. This can occur if the pool does not have enough chlorine to adequately disinfect it. Skin rashes after using a contaminated hot tub. This rash generally manifests as itchy red bumps or blistered filled with fluid around the hair follicles. It may be worse in areas where your skin was covered by a bathing suit. Signs and symptoms of pseudomonas depend on where the infection occurs.  Blood infections are characterized by fever, chills, fatigue, muscle and joint pains, and are extremely serious.  Lung infections (pneumonia) include symptoms like chills, fever, a productive cough, difficulty breathing.  Skin infections may cause an itchy rash, bleeding ulcers, and/or headache.  Ear infections may present with swelling, ear pain, itching inside the ear, discharge from the ear, and difficulty hearing.  Eye infections caused by pseudomonas may include the following symptoms: inflammation, pus, swelling, redness, pain in the eye, and impaired vision. The doctor will likely want to look at the rash and may take a sample of the bacteria to send to the lab to confirm the diagnosis. This may be done in two ways:  Swabbing the infection on your skin Taking a biopsy. Doing a biopsy is rare. If you are otherwise healthy, treatment may not be necessary. Your immune system may clear the infection itself. However, your doctor may suggest:  Anti-itch medications if you have an itchy rash Antibiotics if you have a serious infection. The doctor may be more likely to prescribe antibiotics if you have an infection in your eye.

Article in English: Psychiatrists are doctors who have the ability to prescribe medications for mental health conditions. Keep in mind that psychologists cannot prescribe medication.  If you need recommendations for a good psychiatrist, ask your current healthcare provider to give you some references. You may want to meet with a few different psychiatrists before settling on one that you feel comfortable with. Some insurance companies or doctors may require you to complete a neuropsychiatric evaluation for ADHD (also called neuropsychological) before approving medication. These evaluations are several hours long and most often utilize computer tests and other measures to assess different cognitive abilities that indicate ADHD. During your first session, your doctor will ask you why you scheduled the appointment. Tell him or her about your symptoms, how often they occur, and how long you have noticed them. He or she will then ask several follow up questions to help make a diagnosis.  A few key points that your doctor is looking for are that you have always experienced these symptoms (because it is widely believed that people are born with ADHD), and that your symptoms are extreme enough to be detrimental to your well-being. Be honest and thorough. It is important to be completely open with your doctor so that you can receive the best treatment possible. Be upfront about wanting medication. Doctors know that not all patients are interested in medication, so it is important to let him or her know that you are open to medication as opposed to other treatment options.     Trust your doctor's expertise. Instead of asking for a specific medication, ask to hear about all your medication options. Knowing about the possible side effects and different formulations can help you and your doctor pick the best ADHD medication for you.

Article in English: Psychic vampires come in a variety of forms. Relationships that drain our energy can manifest in a variety of personality types. Recognize the various forms psychic vampires can take.  Narcissistic psychic vampires have grandiose senses of self importance and entitlement. They tend to lack empathy and become withholding or cold if you don't do things their way. This is because they have little to no capacity for unconditional love. Victim vampires tend to see the world through the lens of "poor me." They believe the world is inherently against them and to blame for their unhappiness. They tend to drain energy by constantly complaining about problems but refusing to try any potential solutions you suggest. Alternatively, they may act as a martyr, claiming that they do things for others but are never appreciated. Controlling energy vampires have a need to control and manipulate your actions. They often invalidate your emotions in order to dominate you or put you down.  Constant talking psychic vampires take over conversations by constantly sharing their own feelings and experiences without giving you an opportunity to contribute. They might also invade physical boundaries, moving in so close you can feel their breath on you.  Drama queen psychic vampires drain energy by exaggerating small instances. Being late for a meeting is the end of the world, and they convey small matters in a way that over-inflates their own importance, for better or worse. Take a minute to assess your relationship with potential psychic vampires. Question whether or not you feel drained by these people and whether the relationship is mutually beneficial.  Are you mentally and physically exhausted after spending time with this person? Psychic vampires will leave you feeling deflated. Are you the type of person who has a strong capacity for empathy? Oftentimes, psychic vampires take advantage of those with a high emotional capacity as they take longer to get fed up. Are you the type of person who's accused of being too nice? Do you...

Article in English: Psychogenic behavior is sometimes called obsessive-compulsive behavior and is a reaction to stress. In order to reach a conclusion that the cause of the over-grooming is psychological, all other possible causes of hair loss need to be tested for and ruled out. The act of licking causes the release of endorphins (natural occurring morphine-like substances) into the cat's bloodstream. This gives the cat a natural "high" to which they can become addicted. The trigger to the original episode of licking is usually a stressful event such as a stray cat moving into a new home. The cat resorts to licking to calm himself, and becomes hooked on the habit. To do this, try to show your cat that he has no competition for resources such as food, water, or sleeping spots. Provide plenty of toys to keep your cat occupied. You should also give your cat plenty of places to hide if he is feeling stressed. Synthetic pheromones, such as Feliway, are chemical messengers that you can pump into the air to make your cat feel calm. The scent the synthetic pheromone produces is a scent that reassures the cat because his body interprets it as a feeling of safety. These synthetic pheromones come in spray bottles, which you can use to spray on the cat’s bedding, or as room diffusers, which help to make your whole house smell safe to your cat.

Article in English: Psychology is the study of the human mind and behavior, which can be put to use in your mind-reading endeavors. If you understand how people think, you can predict what they are thinking. A general course in psychology will give you good ammunition for your "mind-reading." Many mentalists, who construct performances around mind-reading people, spend a considerable amount of time studying human psychology.  The easiest way, perhaps, for you to get a basic understanding of psychology will be to take a course in the subject. These may be available for an affordable cost at a local community college or community center. Engage in daily psychological study by noting patterns you see in the behavior of those around you. You can collect these observations in a notebook for personal reference. This will also sharpen your observational abilities. Though psychology looks into human thought patterns and behavior, you'll want to take an in-depth look at trends and percentages concerning human behavior. For example, if you know that when offered four choices, a person is 92% likely to choose the third without any prodding on your part, this will give you a high percentage chance of predicting what the person is thinking in that situation. A newly emerging study of human truthfulness, sometimes referred to as lie-spotting, might also help you "read" the mind of someone. All you need to do is catch that person in a lie, point it out, and when he asks, "How did you know?" simply reply, "I can read your mind." . This has a dual purpose. When the person whose mind you are trying to "read" is at ease, they will be less guarded. This means that you'll likely have more information available to you for making predictions about that person. Additionally, if your subject feels like you are of a similar mind, it will engage brain cells that sync him up with you, which will make your mind-reading easier as well.  Put people at ease while reading their mind by mirroring their motions. You don't have to do exactly the same things they...

Article in English: Psychopaths love to create chaos and drama. Because they tend to bore easily, it’s important that things stay interesting. They may provoke arguments and then come off as the victim. They wreak havoc on others’ lives and sit back and watch innocently. If someone in your life is a psychopath, you probably leave interactions with them questioning your own sanity. Let’s say you’re at work and the psychopath alerts you that one coworker has been insulting you behind your back. They coax you to confront the person. In the aftermath of an ugly confrontation, you eventually realize that the other person was goaded just like you. Everyone is driven by an objective of getting what they want. But psychopaths are identified as extremely cunning in this area. They are able to get you to do things you might not normally do. They may use guises, guilt-tripping, coercion and other methods to get victims to do their bidding. For example, you are a high-ranking executive in your company. The psychopath “befriends” you and teases out your weaknesses. One day you arrive at work to hear that news of a scandal is affecting the workplace. It seems sensitive information you told the psychopath was leaked to the media. You are fired. Guess who’s in line to take your position? Some psychopaths have many short-term marriages. They will blame marital problems on their ex-spouses, and never suggest that they played a role in the marriage's failure. The relationship starts off with them idealizing their partners. Over time, they devalue and ultimately discard that partner for a newer, more interesting one. They never truly bond with partners; therefore, walking away from a marriage or relationship is quite effortless. A psychopath will tell all sorts of lies—little lies to trip you up or whopping made-up stories intended to mislead. Even when telling the truth would be painless, they still default to lying. Surprisingly enough, this doesn’t cause shame. They take pride in their lies. And if you think you’ve caught them up, they simply...

Article in English: Psyllium husk is a source of soluble fiber. It is often used for occasional constipation and to help restore regularity. Psyllium husk works by absorbing water in your digestive tract and combining with the water to form bulky stool. This process stimulates digestion and helps quicken the passage of stool. For this reason, psyllium husk is known as a bulk forming laxative. Psyllium husk is also used to help treat irritable bowel syndrome and diverticular disease. These conditions cause pain and digestive problems that may be alleviated by incorporating psyllium husk into your daily routine. Your doctor may advise against taking psyllium husk products if you are on any medications. Psyllium can reduce the absorption of medications into the digestive system. If your doctor says it's okay to take psyllium husk with your medications, he or she may recommend that you take psyllium husk at least 2 hours before or after you have taken your other medications. This time between taking psyllium husk and your medications will reduce the likelihood that the psyllium will affect your medication absorption. You can get psyllium husk in a wide variety of forms, from powders to cookies. Pure psyllium husk powder has a sawdust-like texture that some people find unpleasant, so it is also available in forms that are flavored and easily dissolvable. The advantage of these products is that they have a more pleasant taste and texture than pure psyllium husk.  Psyllium products like Metamucil are known as blond psyllium and they often contain sugar and other additives. You can purchase flavored Metamucil powder to mix with water or you can even get cookies or wafers that contain psyllium husk. Follow the instructions on the package when taking one of these forms of psyllium husk.  If you prefer, purchase a 100% psyllium husk powder product at a health food or nutrition store. This type of psyllium husk has no flavor or added sugar, so it is best to mix it with water or juice. Make sure that you understand the dosage instructions...

Article in English: Puberty causes more hormones to gush through your system. These can affect your brain and change your emotions and thoughts. If you notice that your emotions, thoughts, and feelings are different or changing, it is a good sign that you are starting puberty. If you are feeling extreme mood changes or feelings of anxiety or depression, then talk to your parents or doctor. Some emotional changes you may experience are:  Feeling sensitive about your body’s changes or to other things like criticism or teasing Having much more intense emotions such as being very jealous of another girl when you wouldn’t have been before Going through frequent mood swings where you’re up one minute and down the next.  Experiencing body image issues Having less self-esteem or less self-confidence Feeling anxiety or even depression. In addition to emotions, your brain is causing your thought patterns to develop and mature. Some of the following new thought patterns can indicate that you’re starting puberty:  Understanding more complex subjects or matters, such as the consequences of not doing homework Making more of your own moral choices, such as knowing when it’s right to stand up for someone else who is being bullied. Having a better sense of your likes and dislikes. Puberty means you’re growing into an adult, and you may find that you have a much better sense of yourself and who you are. Remember that these changes are normal, but may cause some confusion or anxiety. Give yourself a chance to have new experiences to see how they fit into your sense of self.  Gain more independence by asking your parents to let you stay out later or go to the movies with friends. These can help you cope with puberty and grow up. Recognize that your friends may change as you figure out who you are. Make your own decisions as far as your parents will allow. For example, this might include picking out your own clothing every day. Conflict between yourself and your friends and family is a part of growing up. Use this as a chance to learn how to handle...

Article in English: Public bathrooms are essential when you’re living on the street. Aside from being a place to relieve yourself, they offer you free running water, soap, and privacy. While it’s best to carry your own toiletries, if you can’t afford to buy soap or shampoo you can use the bathroom’s hand soap.  Look for available public bathrooms in places like fast food restaurants, shopping centers, airports, libraries, colleges, and office buildings. Try turning a stall into a private wash station by bringing a container of water and mirror into the stall. If you are able to purchase one, you can acquire a collapsible bucket from an outdoor store. This is a great option if you cannot find a private bathroom. While most of your bathing will likely consist of bathroom sponge-baths, there are options for showering. You can try shelters, but you may be able to find a public shower that you can gain access to.  Try visiting gyms or the YMCA. While you may have to pay gym fees, you can ask if the gym offers free trials. You may be able to take advantage of one of these options, giving you access to the gym’s facilities. Use the showers at a beach or campground. While these showers may sometimes lack privacy, they make washing yourself easier than it is in a sink. Act as though you belong, and it’s unlikely anyone will question you. It’s easier to clean yourself than it is to clean your clothes, but keeping your clothes smelling good will keep more opportunities open to you because people are less likely to suspect that you are living on the streets. While going to the laundromat weekly is best, if that is impossible then you can wash your clothes in the sink.  Check with your local shelter or soup kitchen to find out if they offer facilities for washing clothes. Collect change to use in the laundromat. Coin-operated washers and dryers often cost between $1-1.25. Wash your clothes in a bathroom sink a few pieces at a time then hang-dry them. Baking soda is cheap and can be used to keep both yourself and your clothes smelling better....

Article in English: Public libraries offer free and unlimited access to remarkable collections of reading materials and other types of media and technology. Getting a library card is easy and usually just requires a photo ID, although some libraries may also require proof that you live in the area, such as a utility bill.  Libraries are wonderful places to find a variety of books and librarians are there to help. Trained in how to most effectively help you make the most of your library experience, librarians are a resource you should not overlook. Ask the librarian for suggestions for books on a specific topic, or a more general genre, or to help you find a particular title. Finding materials that interest you is an important first step in improving your reading. Read the backs of books or the inside of the dust jacket for a brief summary of the plot. Usually, you will be able to tell right away if a book will not sustain your interest. Most libraries allow you to check out more than one title at once. Take home several books to give yourself a variety of reading materials to try. Decide which type of bookstore can best suit your needs before setting out. Areas around college campuses and urban areas are more likely to contain a variety of bookstores to visit.  Larger chain bookstores carry everything from self-help books, to novels, to academic publications. If you are not sure what you are looking for, this type of larger bookstore can provide many different types of reading materials to help you narrow your search. If your interests are more specific, look for a bookstore that caters to the type of book that appeals to you. Children's bookstores are designed to offer a more relaxed and fun environment for younger readers. Buying from a small local bookstore is a good way to support local business in your community. You can find some unique books in these smaller stores, like work by local authors who have not been featured nationally. Ask bookstore employees for recommendations. Usually, people who work in or own bookstores...

Article in English: Public nudity is illegal in most parts of the United States, and some areas of other countries.  If you're planning on skinny dipping, choose an area that's been specifically designated as a nude or clothing-optional beach, or strip down in a private lake or pool.  It's a good idea to check up on local regulations before you take the plunge. Your friend’s pool is the best bet, but it’s hardly the most exciting. If you are planning on doing it somewhere public, make sure you have a plan to avoid getting caught, too. Skinny-dipping is not as much fun when there are fines involved. Though all your friends will have to know eventually, you’ll have a stronger argument if you have a friend backing you up. Talk to one of your best buds about getting everyone on board for skinny dipping. Together the two of you can divide and conquer. Let’s say there’s a party or a get-together some night. After a meaningful head nod or brief text conversation, you can broach the topic and get everyone jazzed. When you two are super excited, people will feel compelled to be excited, too, and not feel like boring dissenters. There is probably a perfect opportunity coming up, like a pool party, that made you think of this idea. But if there isn’t, you’ll have to plan when to have it all go down. And better yet – morning or night?  It’s best to do it as part of a vacation or an after-party. This way everyone is bustling and ready to go and feeding off the energy of the occasion. If a party isn’t coming up, schedule one! Night-time skinny dipping adds a sense of adventure and can help the more self-conscious come out of their shells. But daytime skinny dipping is an option, too, especially if you're somewhere private. And hello to no tan lines. Yes, spontaneous skinny dipping is a thing, but pre-meditated skinny dipping generally works a lot better. With the right crowd, shedding your clothes and hoping everyone follows suit could work, but you’re better off giving everyone notice. Imagine if you went for it and everyone just looked at...

Article in English: Public records are created and maintained by government agencies. While the definition of public records varies by state to state, they are directed by law to be made available to the public, often upon formal request.  See if your state or county has a searchable online public records database. In Google or Bing, type the state or county plus “public records”. Next, search for specific public records (birth, death, marriage, divorce, etc.) within state or county webpages. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides links to state and county agencies that maintain vital records (births, deaths, divorces, marriages). Go to the CDC.gov website and search for "where to write for vital records". The National Archives provide resources for obtaining military personnel or medical records. They provide a searchable database for records and documents in their collection from before World War I.  Military service records can only be requested by a veteran or their next-of-kin. Casualty lists and records of medals, awards, and decorations up to the Vietnam War are also available on the webpage for the National Archives. Civil and criminal cases are handled at the county, state, and federal levels, so you will need to determine the relevant jurisdiction(s) when searching for case data. Civil cases refer to acts of negligence or disputes between organizations or individuals, while criminal cases are those that cause harm or violate privacy and safety.  Search the county clerk’s office for criminal or civil court records. The county clerk maintains records for civil, small claims, and even criminal cases decided at the district or county level. In a search engine, type the county’s name and “criminal records” or “civil court records”. If known, you can also enter the appellate’s or defendant’s name or the case number.

Article in English: Pudding is still consumed in many varieties across the Commonwealth, but people in the United States have simplified the term to mean a cold, custard-like dessert. This recipe is streamlined to be as simple as possible without sacrificing deliciousness, but there are dozens of alternate methods out there if you decide to explore variations in texture or flavor.  This recipe can be made with or without melted chocolate. If you decide to skip the chocolate you may wish to up the vanilla extract to 2 tsp (10 mL) for a stronger flavor. This pudding will take at least an hour to chill and thicken. Allowing at least four hours is recommended if you plan on serving it as dessert, as individual variation can cause some puddings to take longer. You only need one of these ingredients to thicken the pudding. Cornstarch is easy to use, and a great option for beginner or time-pressed chefs. Egg yolks are finicky and can ruin a pudding if overcooked, but will provide a richer texture. Both methods are described in this section. Use a saucepan, but leave it off the heat for now. Combine ½ cup (100 g) sugar and ⅛ tsp (a small pinch) salt. If you are using cornstarch, mix in ¼ cup (30 g) of this as well. Use a whisk if you have one, since it will be useful in the next step. While cornstarch is sold as "cornflour" outside the U.S., do not confuse it with actual flour made from corn! You're looking for pure starch, an almost tasteless, white powder. Pour in about ¼ cup (60 mL) of the milk in a thin stream to avoid forming lumps, whisking it in with the dry ingredients. Once the mixture has no lumps, pour in the remaining 2 ¾ cups (660 mL) milk and whisk until smooth. If you have a food processor, you can pulse this mixture until smooth instead. If you are using two egg yolks, separate them from the egg whites, then beat for 30–60 seconds in a separate, large bowl. Remember, there is no need for egg yolks if using cornstarch. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat on the stove top. Stir and scrape the sides occasionally, to avoid...

Article in English: Pugs are active, but often in short bursts, since their flat noses make it hard for them to cool down when running and playing. Help your pug exercise by offering 1 or 2 moderate walks during the day, along with periods of playtime, such as playing fetch, tug-of-war, or chase in the home or in your yard. Ideally, a healthy adult pug should get two 15-20 minute walks a day, along with smaller play times with toys throughout the day. If your pug has health problems, walks may need to be shorter. Pugs do best when kept in moderate temperatures and weather conditions. In warm areas or seasons, adjust your walks so that your pug isn’t out during the hottest part of the day. In cold climates or seasons, consider getting your pug a coat for outside time.  Avoid walks during very windy or excessively rainy days, as these can cause eye problems. Pugs are prone to heat stroke if the weather is hot enough. Be sure to never keep them out in the heat on an especially sunny day and make sure that the pug stays hydrated when you are exercising it. Due to their short muzzles, pugs sometimes have a hard time breathing. Avoid relying on a collar while walking your pug, as this could limit its breathing further. Attach their leash to a harness instead. Dog harnesses are available at all pet stores and can be purchased online. your pug. Pugs are typically smart little dogs that respond well to basic training. They aim to please, so teaching them basic commands by using treats and positive reinforcement usually works well. Be sure to be consistent with your training schedule, taking time to work with your dog every day. This will make caring for your pug easier in the long run and it will strengthen your relationship with the dog as well.  Teaching your pug how to sit, stay, lay down, and come can be very useful for day to day interactions with your dog. They can be especially helpful if you are trying to discourage bad behaviors, such as chewing or aggression. You may also want to teach it how to play games, such as fetch. If...

Article in English: Pugs are more prone to breathing difficulties because they have a narrower windpipe than most dogs. They also have narrow nostrils and a long soft palate, which takes up lots of room at the back of their throats. In fact, pugs snore and are noisy breathers because of the amount of soft tissue at the back of the throat. This tissue vibrates whenever a pug takes a breath. If your pug’s snoring bothers you, consider wearing earplugs at night to block out the sound or train your pug to sleep in his crate. With mild exertion many pugs pant heavily in order to satisfy their body's need for oxygen. Be aware that if you persist in exercising your pug once it shows signs of shortness of breath it could collapse. Most of the time, you do not need to worry about your pug’s noisy breathing. However, you should learn to recognize the signs of respiratory distress in case your pug has a problem. These signs include:  Noisy breathing with a panicky facial expression Blue gums or tongue Thick sticky saliva Reluctance to move Exaggerated movements of the chest and abdomen Restlessness as if unable to get comfortable Collapse Make sure the pug is cool and stop all activity. If the pug doesn't improve in a few minutes, contact a vet as an emergency.  Keep calm as the dog will pick up on your panic and this will panic it. If your pug regularly struggles with its breathing consider consulting with your veterinarian about corrective surgery. There are operations that trim back the excessive amount of tissue at the back of the throat, and also an operation to widen the nostrils so it easier for a pug to breath in. Dogs can't sweat and so to lose heat they pant. In hot weather, pugs are doubly compromised because they can have difficulty breathing at the best of times and then add in the extra need to cool down, which they are unable to do, and they are liable to get heatstroke.  To avoid this, never exercise your pug on a hot day. Make sure it stays in the shade or in a cool room. If your pug starts to pant excessively, dampen its...

Article in English: Pugs love to eat, so it’s easy for them to become overweight. You need to monitor their diet closely to ensure proper portion control. Feed them consistently once or twice a day according to the manufacturer's serving size recommendations.  Remember that food packaging indicates the maximum your pug should eat for a day. If you feed your pug twice a day, divide the maximum serving in half to get the proper meal size. Learn to feel for your pug's ribs. Ideally you should be able to feel the ribs with minimum pressure but not see them. If the ribs are difficult to feel, your pug may be overweight. Choose a quality small-bite dry food appropriate for your pug’s age. If your pug is a puppy, it should eat puppy food. If it is an adult, it should be given an adult diet. If it is a senior, then you should feed it senior food. There are also specialized diets for specific medical issues, such as low protein and phosphorus diets for dogs with kidney disease. Talk to your veterinarian about whether a specialized diet is right for your pug. If you follow the manufacturer's portion size suggestions and notice your pug gaining unhealthy weight, talk to your vet. They can help you modify meal sizes or switch to a more appropriate food for your dog. The appropriate amount of food your dog should eat depends greatly on its specific body and how much exercise and activity it gets. Treats can be an important part of training, as well as a way to reward your pug for good behavior. However, you need to remember to factor a pug's treats into their daily food intake. Too many treats could cause unhealthy weight gain, which could cause or exacerbate respiratory and joint problems.  Stick to small treats with your pug, such as training treats. Treats meant for larger dogs should be broken or cut into small pieces. Try to use treats consistently for one or two behaviors, such as after a walk or a bathroom break. Avoid giving your pug extra treats outside of these times so you can limit the dog's calorie intake.

Article in English: Pugs require attention, but should also have a space of their own in which they feel comfortable when you are not home or are otherwise occupied. Provide your pug with an area of its own including a bed and blankets, some toys, and easy access to food and fresh water.  Consider putting the space in the corner of a well-used area in your home. This way, even if you cannot pay attention to your pug for a moment, they do not feel alone. Remember that pugs are sensitive to very hot temperatures and rapid temperature changes. Avoid setting up their space in areas with continued direct sunlight or near heating and cooling vents. Pugs are prone to nervousness and anxiety. You can help them calm down by being consistent in your daily routine. This means scheduling feeding times, walks, play times, and quiet times as close to the same time every day as possible. Your personal schedule may change, but it is important to you try to keep your pug’s schedule the same. Ask a friend or neighbor to help you out with feeding and walks on nights you know you’ll be home late. The pug’s distinct physiology makes them susceptible to a number of health problems, including breathing and joint issues. Because of this, it is important to schedule a vet check as soon as you bring your new pug home.  Your vet will be able to check for common pug health complications and make suggestions for care, such as what to feed your new dog. If you want your pug to be comfortable, you’ll need to learn how it communicates and how to properly respond to it. If you don’t have a lot of experience with dogs, educate yourself on how they communicate so that you can interpret your pug's body language and respond appropriately.  This is especially important if you have children in the house. Teach your children how to recognize when your dog is anxious or fearful, so that they know when to back off. For example, if a guest is petting your pug and its tail is between its legs, it is likely scared and/or uncomfortable. To make your pug comfortable,...

Article in English: Pull out a broiler pan with an interior rack.  Broil marinaded pork chops, but avoid using this method with breaded pork. The intense heat is likely to burn the coating too quickly. Most broilers only have an "on" setting, but if yours has separate "high" and "low" settings, preheat it to "high." A broiler pan is the best option because the rack keeps the meat raised above the rendered fat that drips off into the bottom of the pan. This can prevent the fat from becoming too hot and catching fire. Do not line the broiler pan with aluminum foil or coat it with nonstick cooking spray or butter.

Article in English: Pull out a piece of foil, and crush it into a ball with your hands. Toss it to your cat, and watch them enjoy themselves tossing it and holding it in their teeth. This can save you from spending money on rubber balls. The method is also great for kittens, as you can make the foil balls as large or small as you want. Place a piece of aluminum foil on couch cushions to keep your animals off. Once they land on the seat and hear the crackling noise on the surface, they may learn to keep off it. Foil can be a shiny, decorative material, and it can also serve as an easy-to-clean workspace for messy craft materials. Get creative and imagine all of the ways that you can use aluminum foil!  Wrap gifts with decorative foil. Foil products may come in various colors and patterns. This can be a cheap and creative way to wrap things! Use foil for crafts instead of paper. Cut it into shapes and letters. It's easy to fold, and it can add a shiny flair to your projects! Mix paint on aluminum foil. When you paint, line a metal roller pan with aluminum foil before pouring in the paint. This way, the cleanup is a breeze: just throw out the foil! You can use aluminum foil, cotton, and a AA battery to start a fire within minutes. Cut out a aluminum foil, about a four inches long and half an inch wide. Cut away the foil in the center of the strip to make a thin, two millimeter-wide slit, roughly 3/4 inches long. Wrap the thin connector in the middle with cotton. Then, attach each end of the foil strip to opposite ends of the AA battery. The cotton should quickly catch on fire.  Add more kindling once the cotton sparks. Build the fire and tend it as it grows.  Always practice fire safety!

Article in English: Pull out the refrigerator if needed and press the plug firmly into the outlet. Check your appliance's electrical cord for damage. Any exposed wire, kinks or cuts in the cord might make the appliance malfunction. If this is the case, do not use the cord and contact a repairman. The extension cord may be damaged or faulty. Plug the refrigerator directly into the outlet. If this solves the problem, replace the faulty extension cord. Plug the other appliance into the same outlet that your refrigerator was plugged into. If that appliance also does not work, check your fuse or circuit breaker box. You might have a blown fuse or tripped breaker. If this solves the problem, then the problem is with the outlet. Check the current and voltage of the outlet with a multimeter and voltage tester. If you do not know how to work these tools, contact a professional repair technician or electrician. This may reset the circuit board (like rebooting a computer or a cell phone). By leaving it unplugged, you allow capacitors to lose any charge they may be holding.

Article in English: Pull six inches of wired ribbon from your spool and pinch it tightly between the thumb and forefinger of your left hand. Pull some more ribbon from your spool with your right hand and form a loop.  Meet your hands together and scrunch the bottom of your loop with the rest of the pinched ribbon between the fingers of your left hand.  Twist the pinched ribbon in your left hand to secure the loop.  The size of your loops will depend on the size of your tree.  For large trees, your loops should be ten to twelve inches long which means you'll need to pull at least twenty inches of ribbon to form each loop.  Use wired ribbon.  Wired ribbon will hold the shape you put it in while other ribbon will go limp. Most ribbon is one sided.  Twist your ribbon so that the decorated side will be on the outside of your next loop. Pull more ribbon from your spool with your right hand.  Form a loop that is in the opposite direction from your first loop.  Add the bottom of your second loop to the pinched ribbon in our left hand and twist it clockwise to hold it in place.  Your first two loops should form the shape of an eight.  Make sure your second loop is the same size as the first.  You want all your loops to be uniform. At this point you can hold your loops against your tree to make sure your bow will be the right size for it. Continue making alternating loops until you feel like your bow is complete.  Ten loops should be adequate for an elaborate bow, but you can make less or more depending on your personal preference.  Remember to pinch and twist the bottom of each loop tightly.  You should have the bottoms of all the loops in your bow scrunched up between the thumb and forefinger of your left hand. The decorated side of the ribbon should be on the outside of each one of your loops. After you've made all your loops, make one final loop perpendicular to the rest.  Pinch the bottom of it in your left hand and twist it just like you've done with all the other loops. Mold a piece of floral stem wire into a “u” shape.  Insert the...

Article in English: Pull the  husks off of the corn as well as any remaining threads or strings. Rinse the corn, then chop off any bad spots, if needed. If you want smaller portions, cut the cobs in half. The dish needs to be big enough to fit your corn. Note that this method is only good for 2 or 3 ears of corn. If you need to make more, you'll have to do them in separate batches—or try another steaming method. If you need to, cut the corn in half so that it fits. It should lay firmly against the bottom of the dish. You don't want the ends hanging over the edge of the dish. This will allow the steam from the cooking water to escape. The exact cooking time will vary, depending on the strength of your microwave. The corn is done when the kernels turn bright yellow. Once the corn is done steaming, use a pair of potholders to remove the dish from the microwave. Carefully pull the plastic wrap from the dish, then use a pair of tongs to serve the corn. Do not lean over the dish when removing the plastic wrap. The steam will be very, very hot. Consider using a pair of tongs to remove the plastic wrap.

Article in English: Pull the  husks off of the corn as well as any threads or strings. Rinse the corn off in cool water, then cut off any bad spots. If you'd like, you can cut the cobs in half to make smaller portions. You will need 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) of water. You can cook quite a large amount of corn using this method, especially if you stand the corn upright. The water should not touch the bottom of the steamer basket. If it does, pour some water out, but try to keep it as close to 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) as possible. Keep in mind that you may have to refill the water as the corn steams. If you are inserting the corn vertically, make sure that the stems are pointing downwards. If the corn is too big for the pot, cut the corn in half. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low, and cook the corn for 7 to 10 minutes. If you like your corn more crisp, check it after about 4 minutes. The corn is ready when the kernels turn bright yellow. Keep an eye on the water; don't let it fall below 1 inch (2.54 centimeters). You will be more likely to scorch your pot this way. Be careful when taking the lid off the pot.; the steam will be very hot. At this point, you can garnish the corn with some salt, pepper, and butter.

Article in English: Pull the "bottom" of the triangle part of the hanger away from the hook like a bow and arrow. You should now have something roughly square-shaped. If you're having difficulty bending the wire, try using a pair of pliers to get a better grip. If you have a vice, you can also grab one part of the hanger in the vice and pull the other side. Pull them as tight as possible to get a flat, drum-like surface. Gather the extra slack around the hanger's hook. Use tape or rubber band to hold the slack and keep the stretched portion tight. You want it about an inch or two away from the mic. It should not be touching it. It should sit between your mouth and the mic when you're recording. There's no "right" way to do this — anything you can do to get the new filter to stay in front of the mic is fair game. A few ideas are below!  If you like, you can straighten out the hanger's hook and bend it into a wide curve, then tape the end to a spot on the mic stand behind the mic. Bend the wire as needed to get the screen in exactly the right spot. Use a clamp to hold the filter to the mic stand. You can get small, cheap clamps from most hardware stores for just a few dollars. Tape the filter to a second mic stand and position this in front of the first. Keep in mind that some mics are designed to take in sound from the top, while others are designed to take in sound from the front. You want the filter directly in front of the recording surface of the mic. Now, you're ready to record. Turn on your recording equipment and stand or sit so that the filter is between you and the mic. Your mouth should be a few inches from the filter. Break a leg! Listen to the way your "P," "B," "S," and "Ch" sounds come out on your recording. You shouldn't hear any "clipping" with these sounds as long as your volume levels are configured correctly. By contrast, not using a pop filter can leave your recording riddled with distortion. Click here for a good, semi-technical guide to clipping (and how to avoid it!)

Article in English: Pull the furniture away from the wall, if applicable. Set aside any cushions, pillows, and other such objects from the surface of the furniture. Take off any hardware you’ll be able to put back on, such as screws or decorative knobs. Don’t take off any hardware that’s holding the furniture together. Use a non-spinning brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to gently clean the cracks and surface of the furniture. Alternately, dampen a clean cloth just a bit and wipe the wood down instead. You’ll need a stationary brush attachment because a spinning attachment can leave scratches. Check the tags on your furniture or cushions to determine what type of fabric they are so you’ll know how best to clean them. You’ll want to clean cushions or pillows before putting them back on your clean wood furniture. For instance, if the tag says “W,” that means to clean it with water. “S” and “S/W” should be professionally dry-cleaned. “X” means vacuuming only.

Article in English: Pull the hammer back to the half-cock position. If there is no flint already in the gun, use a screwdriver or metal bar to loosen the screw which holds the top jaw of the cock in place. Use a rectangular scrap of leather the right size to enclose the flint, and fold it around the back of the flint. Place the flint with the leather in the jaws of the cock so that the sharp end protrudes towards the flash pan and tighten the screw securely. Close the frizzen (the part that covers the pan) and test fire it by pulling the trigger. Ensure the lock produces a shower of sparks that hit the inside of the flashpan. If it doesn't, remove the flint and reattach it. Make sure everything is secure and striking appropriately. Take your time. Loosen the screw on the side of the brass powder measurement. Draw the sliding end of the measurement back to the line that marks the amount of powder required for your specific gun and tighten the screw. Consult your firearms dealer to determine the correct amount of powder to use for your gun. Lift the muzzle of the gun so that the barrel is perpendicular to the ground. Level off the top of the powder measurement and pour the powder into the barrel. Tap the side of the barrel with the heel of your hand a few times to ensure the powder all falls tho the bottom. Place a lubricated patch over the end of the barrel. This patch should be larger than the ball and should be able to wrap around it. Press the patched ball into the barrel using the short end of the bullet starter. Continue to slide the ball or bullet down the barrel with the long side of the bullet starter. Use the blunt end of the ram rod to slide the ball down the rest of the barrel until it is seated firmly atop the powder. Use one steady motion to seat the bullet, don't jab into the gun like you see in the movies.    Once the ball has been seated, remove the ramrod and lay the gun across your lap. Fill the small brass flash pan powder dispenser with the FFFF powder used in flintlock rifles for this purpose. This can be...

Article in English: Pull the jeans from the washer and leave them inside out. Also make sure the zipper is up and the jeans are buttoned. High heat puts extra and unnecessary stress on the material of the jeans, so stick to the low setting. Permanent press or delicate are both good options. It’s best to dry only a few pairs of jeans at a time or they will take a lot longer to dry. Dryer balls are rubber or wool balls that beat against the jeans during the dry cycle. They loosen the fibers of the jeans, which provides extra softening. Dryer balls are especially helpful with stiff fabrics like denim.  Look for dryer balls in the laundry sector of the grocery or big-box store. Dollar stores may even have a cheap version. Tennis balls are a cheap alternative which accomplish the same effect. Pull the jeans out of the dryer and roll them up while they are still hot. Fold the legs on top of each other. Then start rolling from the bottom of the pants until you get to the top. Leave them rolled up at least until they cool off from drying.

Article in English: Pull your support hand in close to your body (touching your stomach is a great place). Your firing hand moves up above your pistol grip and back down on it to get a good firing grip on the gun (while in the holster). Release any retention system you may have. Pull the pistol straight up (for passive-retention holsters, a straight, firm jerk is required), a couple inches from the holster. Rotate your wrist and lower your elbow of your firing arm. This gets the pistol pointed down range at your target. Disengage any safety you have. From this position you are able to shoot a very close target (if necessary). Move your gun forward straight toward the target (sights level). When the gun passes your stomach, move your support hand toward the gun and in front of your firing hand to get a good firing grip on it. Complete the motion, extend firing arm to a good firing position. Keep your support elbow low (straight down is best). This creates "isometric pressure" which controls the muzzle flip and felt recoil of the gun. Pull back to close contact position 3, place your hand on your stomach, safety on, rotate your wrist and raise your elbow, push gun straight down into holster and secure. As mentioned before, a tactical reload before you re-holster is an excellent choice and habit to get into (read this to find out how to do a tactical reload). ) drawing about 500 to 1000 times (no joke — that is about how long it takes for the process to become procedural muscle memory) you will find you can draw extremely fast. Start practicing drawing and shooting a target (if possible).

Article in English: Pull-ups use a lot of upper body muscles, so exercising each of those muscles individually can make your primary workout routine far easier. Before performing your standard pull-up sets, try doing some of the following exercises:  Lat pulldowns: Sit at a pull-down machine, grab the bar with a shoulder-width grip, and slowly pull it down toward your collarbone. Keep your shoulders back and your arch your torso slightly backward. This exercise will strengthen your upper back and lats. Bicep curls: Hold a dumbbell with both hands, then squeeze your biceps to move the weight up and down. Seated rows: Sit in front of a weighted rowing machine and bring the handlebars toward your waistline using slow, even movements. This exercise will strengthen your lats and back. Prone reverse fly: Lay on a bench face down with a dumbbell in each hand, then raise the dumbbells out to your sides and lower them back down. This exercise is great for your deltoids. To help yourself get big, strong pull up muscles, try to eat a balanced diet filled with lean protein, nutritious carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Though this change of diet may sound unpleasant, there are plenty of tasty, nutritious, and muscle-building foods you can still eat. A few examples include:  Proteins like chicken breast, lean cuts of beef and pork, lentils, beans, milk, eggs, and fish. Good carbs like whole wheat grains, bread, pasta, quinoa, barley, and bulgur. Healthy fats like nuts, avocados, olives, tofu, and soy products. Pull-ups are a bodyweight exercise, so the heavier you are, the more difficult they will be. If you have lots of weight in the form of fat, it can be nearly impossible to do a pull up no matter how strong you are. To fix this, try tracking your calories to make yourself eat less and do fat-burning aerobic activities like running, dancing, and swimming. If you're not getting enough rest, you'll find it hard to build the strength you need to do lots of pull-ups. Your body needs rest both before and after strenuous workouts, so try to get...

Article in English: Pulling an all-nighter is risky business. While most college students think that studying all night will help them learn more for an exam, all-nighters can actually damage grades. Exhausted students can't concentrate on exams, and cramming for a final can actually reduce the amount of information you remember. Well-rested students, on the other hand, are much more relaxed and alert when it comes time to take exams. Make time to sleep -- you'll thank yourself later. Cramming isn't worth it. This is known as a "freshman trick," meaning that good, veteran students learn very quickly that it is futile. What you may gain from extra study time won't compensate for the loss of alertness and ability to concentrate due to lack of sleep. Not only is this good for your body, it's good for your mind, too. It'll be more difficult to concentrate if you're hungry. Don't eat anything that may upset your stomach, though. Avoid the temptation to hype yourself up on caffeine. It may just make your more anxious. Stick to your normal breakfast -- your routine will be comforting. It may sound like a load of baloney, but being confident and thinking you'll do well can help calm you down and, ultimately, make you do well. And let's be honest, you've done what you could. So whatever makes you think you've got it, do it. It'll pay off when you're not breaking out in a sweat, fingers twitching in nerves When we intend to remember without having confidence that we can remember, the intention is weakened into mere hoping. The memory strengthens as you lay burdens upon it and becomes trustworthy as you trust it. Try to form the habit early on of relying on your memory before referring to your written reminders.

Article in English: Pulling on the reins or bracing for too long against the horse may cause the horse to lean against your hands, rush off, or become unresponsive to your aids. If your half-halt was unsuccessful, try again in another stride, this time with a little more emphasis. Remember, most of the half-halt signal comes from the seat and leg aids. You may find you don't need to do anything to the reins at all. If you do, rather than tugging on them, squeeze them gently as though squeezing a sponge. Some horses need a half halt in the first strides of their cantor or trot in order to establish the rider's control over the pace. If you wait too long for the half-halt, the horse may have gathered too much momentum to execute it. It's important that you have a precise concept of the half-halt signal and what each aid is telling the horse. Some say the half-halt is like talking to the horse, but you must know what you want to say. In short, "ho and go."

Article in English: Pulling on your hair, or styling it tightly, can cause hairs to be pulled out.  Styling or playing with your hair too often may also contribute to hair loss. Opt for loose hairstyles to lessen the strain and damage to your hair.  Avoid tight braids, using hair rollers, or tight hair clips and holders. Don't use hot oil treatments on your hair either, as they can be damaging to the hair and scalp. Avoid playing with your hair often, twisting or pulling on it. If your comb has tightly spaced teeth, it may pull on your hair more than a brush with wider teeth would.  This pulling can cause more hair loss.  Use a comb with widely spaced teeth for a gentler way to brush your hair.  When brushing your hair, always brush gently. Wet hair is more fragile than dry hair.  Be careful when combing or brushing wet hair and don't tug or pull on tangles. Using any heated tool on your hair can cause damage and increase hair loss.  Try to avoid using any device such as hair dryers or curling irons. If you must use a hair dryer, set it to the coolest setting possible.

Article in English: Pumice stones are inexpensive (usually between $3-$10) and can be found in drug stores, natural grocery stores, and online. You can identify pumice by its porous surface. It is lightweight and usually grey or black. You can find pumice stones with rubber grips attached or as part of a brush (usually with a nail brush or other buffering tools). Use whatever you're comfortable with. Though it is possible to use pumice anywhere on your body, that doesn't mean you should. Areas with delicate skin and coarse hair (like your bikini area or face) should be avoided if possible. Removing the coarse hair would require too much pressure and damage your skin. Maybe you'd get the hair off your upper lip with time, but you'd have a very red, irritated, possibly cut upper lip instead. Not a great trade-off.  The pumice method works best on legs, arms, scalps (if you're bald and looking to get that shine), and shoulders. The pumice method is a good way to perform upkeep between waxing sessions. If you do plan to use the pumice on your face or bikini area, be extremely gentle. Consider other methods first, like waxing, tweezing, hair removal creams, or shaving. Do not use the pumice on skin that is already irritated, red, sunburned, broken, or peeling. This method of hair removal will work best if the hair is softened. A warm shower or bath will give the hair time to soften up before you begin. Any time you use an abrasive on your skin (pumice, hair removal mitts, sandpaper), you risk scratching the skin, which makes you susceptible to infection. Cleaning the skin beforehand will minimize the chance of contaminating a scratch with bacteria.

Article in English: Pumice stones are known for their ability to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells. If you have one of these objects lying around, it can do wonders for your toilet bowl! You can also purchase a pumice stone affixed to a stick--known as a Pumie--created for this very purpose. If you'll be using a traditional pumice stone, you will need to submerge your hands in water, and you may want to wear rubber gloves and a plastic apron. Before you begin scrubbing your toilet, it is important to soften the pumice stone in water. Place the stone inside your toilet bowl and wait 15 minutes. Once the stone has softened a bit, simply rub it against the rings in your toilet. The pumice stone acts almost like a pencil eraser, removing hard water rings before your eyes! When you are finished, give your toilet a flush.

Article in English: Pumpkin preservative, like Pumpkin Fresh, are available online and at Halloween specialty stores. Pumpkin preservatives may contain water, sodium tetraborate decahydrate (borax), and/or sodium benzoate (a preservative and fungicide). They act as fungicides. Spraying is more convenient, but dunking may be more long-lasting. If choosing to dunk, be sure to pat the pumpkin dry. Remember that mold hits where moisture fits. Spray the outside and inside with the preservative and watch as it fights off mold and decay. Pumpkin preservatives help the pumpkin last relatively mold-free for up to 14 days.

Article in English: Pumpkin seeds do not germinate in cold soil, so they need to be planted after the chance of frost has passed. Plan to plant pumpkins in late spring or early summer for a fall harvest. Pumpkins typically take 95 to 120 days to mature. If you celebrate Halloween and would like to have pumpkins in time for the holiday, plant them in late July. If you want it in early July, plant in early March. Pumpkins grow on vines and need a good amount of space to thrive. Choose a place in your yard with the following qualities:  20 or 30 feet (6.1 or 9.1 m) of open space. Your pumpkin patch doesn't have to take up your whole yard. You can plant it along the side of your house, or along the fence in your backyard. Full sun. Don't choose a spot under a tree or in the shadow of a building. Make sure the pumpkins will get plenty of sun all day long. Soil with good drainage. Clay-based soils don't absorb water quickly, and aren't as conducive to growing pumpkins. Choose a spot that doesn't have standing water after heavy rains. To give the pumpkins an extra boost, prepare your soil beforehand by composting it. Dig large holes where you plan to plant the pumpkins and fill them with a compost mixture one week before planting. Go to your local nursery or order seeds from a catalog to use in your pumpkin patch. There are many different varieties of pumpkins, but for the home grower's purposes they fall into three main categories:  Pie pumpkins, which are meant to be eaten. Large decorative pumpkins that can be carved into jack o'lanterns. The seeds in these pumpkins are edible, but the flesh is not flavorful. Small decorative pumpkins, often called mini pumpkins.

Article in English: Puppies cannot eat regular dog food. They need to have a food that is meant for puppies. This type of food will provide your puppy with the nutrients it needs to grow and it is in smaller pieces that are easier for your puppy to chew. Purchase a bag before you bring the puppy home. Ask your veterinarian or the breeder or shelter for a recommendation if you are unsure about which type of puppy food to buy. 8-week old puppies need to eat frequently to get in enough calories. Until your puppy is 12 weeks old, it will need to be fed 4 times daily at regular intervals. Develop a feeding schedule for your puppy to ensure that it gets the nutrition it needs.  For example, you could feed your puppy at 7 AM, 11 AM, 2 PM, and 5 PM. Continue feeding this way until your puppy reaches 14 weeks, and then switch to 2 feedings per day. It is important for your puppy to stay hydrated, and puppies drink a lot of water! Your puppy may drink as much as ½ cup (120 mL) of water every 2 hours. Always keep a bowl of fresh, clean water out for your puppy. Place the bowl somewhere that will be easy for your puppy to access and check the bowl a few times daily.  For example, try placing the bowl in the corner of the room where the puppy spends the most time. If you take your puppy outside to play, bring a bowl of water outside too.

Приобретите собачий корм, специально предназначенный для щенков. Обеспечьте щенку четырехразовое питание по расписанию. Следите за тем, чтобы у щенка всегда была чистая, свежая вода для питья.


Article in English: Puppies explore their new world through their mouths. So they will probably bite you during their exploration or when they are playing. Puppies don’t know that their teeth can feel like razors piercing our skin when they gnaw on us, which is why it’s important to train your puppy not to bite at an early age. Puppies don’t know how hard their biting can be. When you are playing with your puppy, allow it to mouth on you if it is doing so already. When it bites too hard, yelp or let out a loud ‘ow!’ Doing this will startle your puppy and make it stop biting you.   Ignore your puppy for 10 to 20 seconds after it has bitten you, or walk away for 10 to 20 seconds. Then go back and resume playing. When it bites too hard again, say “ow!” again and ignore it for another 20 or so seconds. Doing this teaches your puppy that gentle play continues, while painful play stops. Once your puppy has stopped biting you very hard, you can begin to teach it to not bite even moderately hard. Repeat the steps listed above when it bites you moderately hard. Continue this process until your puppy only mouths on you gently or doesn’t mouth on you at all. If you puppy likes to ambush your feet while you walk, carry a toy in your pocket. When you puppy begins nipping at your foot, freeze, take out the toy and wave it so that it gets his attention. When your puppy has started chewing on the toy, begin walking again. Eventually your puppy will learn that chewing on toys is better than chewing on feet.  If you don’t have a toy, freeze when your puppy begins nipping at your feet. When it stops, praise it and go get it a toy. When you see your puppy chewing on something like a shoe, furniture, or sock, take the object away from him and scold him verbally. Direct its attention to something it can chew on, such as a favorite toy, and praise it when it begins chewing on that instead. Doing this teaches your puppy what objects to chew on and what not to. If your puppy continues to chew on things it shouldn’t be, you can use a taste deterrent,...

Поймите, что щенок не стремится поранить вас, когда кусается. Научите щенка аккуратности. Отучите щенка хватать вас за ноги. Отучите щенка грызть те предметы, которые ему нельзя грызть.


Article in English: Puppies learn how to socialize by playing with other puppies. Very young puppies don't know that they can hurt others with their teeth. They learn by playing; when one puppy bites another puppy too hard, the puppy yelps and stops playing. In this way, puppies learn to control how hard they bite. Play with your puppy the way another puppy would; by tickling her and wrestling with her until she starts to nip at you. When she bites your hand, let out a high-pitched yelp, just the way another puppy would. Let your hand go limp and stop playing. Your puppy will learn that when she bites, she doesn't get attention anymore.  Your puppy may try to making up for the bite by nuzzling and licking your hand. Praise her in a sweet voice and reward her with a treat, then keep playing with her. She'll learn that playing nicely gets rewarded.  Never spank a puppy to cause her pain in return. Using physical punishment against a puppy will only make her afraid of you. Puppies love to use their teeth, and they have to be taught that human skin is not for chewing. Provide plenty of puppy-safe chew toys for your puppy to gnaw on during play time.  When your puppy starts nipping at your skin, put a chew toy in her mouth. This will teach her that she should be chewing on the toy instead of your hand. Do the same thing if your puppy nips at your heels and ankles when you walk around. Stop walking and give her a chew toy. If you don't have a toy handy, just stop. When she starts playing nicely, praise her. If she grabs something of yours, distract her and and swap the item for one of her own toys in its place. If your puppy is having trouble learning not to bite, you may need to create a time-out area, a place where you take her to teach her that if she can't play nice, she doesn't get to play. Set aside a corner of her play room and take her there right away when she bites.  Don't use the puppy's crate as a time-out area. She should never associate being crated with punishment. After your puppy has been in time out for a few...

Article in English: Puppies up to two weeks old are tiny in size. They haven’t opened their eyes yet. The puppies do not move around very much and stay close to their mother. They mainly only root, feed from the mother, and sleep. Puppies open their eyes when they are around two to three weeks old. They start walking and adventuring out of the whelping box during this time. They appear to become more aware of their surroundings and they begin to explore on their own. This is characteristic of puppies up to around five to six weeks old. Puppies generally get their food from their mother until between five to seven weeks old. Puppies who are transitioning to eating solid foods and who are becoming independent of their mother are probably around six to eight weeks old. As the puppy grows, they start becoming more active. By eight weeks old, the puppy is acting how people typically expect a puppy to act. Because their teeth are coming in, they begin chewing on things. They also begin playing in an energetic manner and exploring everything around them.  They may also start acting restless or whining due to their teeth. They will also spend a lot of time sleeping in between playing and chewing. Puppies have a growth spurt between eight and sixteen weeks of age, and then they continue visibly growing over the next several months. As they age, puppies will lose their puppy coats and gain their adult coat. Puppy coats are very soft, while adult coats are denser and thicker. Puppies who are between six to twelve months old will start testing their boundaries. They get an increase in energy and are distracted easily by everything. They may start chewing more things around the house, and they love to explore and may wander off. At this age, the puppy may ignore you and forget behaviors they previously learned. Most puppies will have reached their full size by the time they are between eight and twelve months old. Larger breeds will continue growing for up to two years. A dog under two years is still considered an adolescent. They have some...

Article in English: Purchase a bag of aquarium gravel or another substrate material from your local pet store. Rinse the gravel with clean water in a bucket or pasta strainer, before scooping it into the tank. Start with 5 centimetres (2.0 in) near the front, sloping up to around 10 centimetres (3.9 in) nearer the back.  Use a scoop or small trowel to add gravel to your tank rather than pouring it in, as this will reduce the chances of you scratching, damaging, or weakening the tank’s glass. Aquarium gravel or other substrates should be available from your local pet store or online. Place a small dish or bowl on the gravel near the bottom of your tank. Use a hose, small bucket, or large jug to begin adding water to the tank. Pour the water directly onto the dish or bowl, so that it can flow more softly into the tank and not disturb the gravel.  Leave around 5 centimetres (2.0 in) of space at the top of the tank. This will stop the water from overflowing when you add plants or other decorations. The water in your tank will need to be dechlorinated. You could use filtered or bottled water to fill it up or use tap water that has been treated with a dechlorinator. Dechlorination tablets should be available online or from your local pet store. These can help oxygenate the water and give your tank a more natural look. Purchase some live or artificial aquarium plants from your local pet store and place their roots into the gravel to plant them.  Most aquariums will have the taller plants nearer the back and some shorter plants in the front. Some great aquarium plants could be java moss near the front, water wisteria near the middle, and an aponogeton ulvaceus bulb near the back. Some colorful artificial decorations, such as a small shipwreck or a few larger rocks, can help break your tank up and give your fish somewhere to be alone. Add 1 or 2 bulkier decorations near the sides of your tank to make it look more interesting.  Leave roughly 1/3 of the tank empty for your fish to swim around in freely. They should be able to interact with...

Article in English: Purchase a bag of rodent pellets from your local pet store to give your mice a complete diet. If you want to feed them fresh food, chop fruits and vegetables into 1⁄2–3⁄4 in (1.3–1.9 cm) cubes and place them in a dish. Make sure there’s always food available for your mice.  Some vegetables and fruits to try include peas, carrots, broccoli, apples, and bananas. Avoid giving your mice foods like cabbage, corn, onions, chocolate, or junk food. Try giving a field mouse sunflower seeds, nuts, or strawberries. Take your mice out of the cage and put them into a different plastic container while you clean out their tank. Clear out all of the bedding and wipe the tank down with clean, soapy water. Fill the tank with fresh bedding and place the food dishes and habitats back where they were before. Once the tank is clean, put your mice back in the tank.  Mice can jump, so make sure the plastic container you keep them in while you’re cleaning is about 6 inches (15 cm) deep. Make sure that you spot clean the tank daily. Remove any bedding that has been soaked with urine to help prevent the tank from smelling. Check the food and water levels in your tank and make sure they aren’t soiled or rotting. Whenever you notice the food or water is empty, clean out the dish and immediately refill it. Check food and water each day so you’re mice don’t get stressed if they’re out. Put on your gloves and hold the treat between your fingers. Let the mouse approach the treat and take it from your hands. Talk to the mice in a low and quiet voice as you give them treats so they know you aren’t going to hurt them. Give them treats once or twice per week to calm them down.  Wild mice can never be fully tamed like domestic mice. Rodent treats can be purchased from your local pet store. Male mice usually live fine together if they are kept from a young age, but they may be territorial if you’ve taken them from the wild. If you notice your mice fighting or that one is injured, keep them in different tanks.

Article in English: Purchase a balanced granular or liquid 10-10-10 fertilizer. This sort of fertilizer will incorporate nutrients back into the soil. The fertilizer should be applied once every 4 weeks during the growing season, or the beginning of spring.  You can also create your own nutrient powder by mixing together 1 cup (240 ml) of bone meal or superphosphate, 1 cup (240 ml) of cottonseed meal, 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of blood meal, 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of fish meal, and 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate). Find a rose-specific fertilizer at your local garden center. They provide exactly the minerals and nutrients that your roses need. Use a garden hose to water the soil thoroughly before spreading the fertilizer. Watering it before applying fertilizer prevents the fertilizer from burning your plant. Lay the fertilizer down evenly around the bush up to the perimeter of your growing area. Keep the fertilizer at the base of the plant, but don’t let it touch its main stalks. If the fertilizer is allowed to come into contact with your plant’s leaves, the fertilizer will burn the leaves and cause them to wilt. Most people fertilize their rose bush at the start of spring; however, if you notice new growth in your rose bush, you can start giving it fertilizer even if it's a bit early. Your rose bush will require more nutrition when it is growing and budding. During the peak growing season, fertilize your rose bush every 4-6 weeks.

Купите подходящие удобрения. Увлажните почву перед и после применения удобрения. Удобрите почву у основания растения, следуя инструкции на упаковке. Начните удобрять почву, когда заметите новые ростки.


Article in English: Purchase a broad-spectrum (also called a full-spectrum) sunscreen that will block both UVA and UVB rays. Get a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 50, the higher the better. Then, apply the cream to your skin at least 20 minutes before heading outside. This allows the sunscreen to begin working before you are actually exposed to the sun, thus preventing burning. As you consider various sunscreen brands, consider what activities you’ll be doing that will require protection. If you will be in the water, then you’ll want a sunscreen that is water-resistant. If you are hiking, you may need a sunscreen that includes insect repellant. You should aim to reapply your sunscreen at least every 90 minutes. This interval may need to be shortened if you are sweating heavily or spending time in the water. When you reapply, don’t rush. Make sure to coat all exposed parts of your body. For each application you can estimate using a nickel-sized portion on your facial area and two shot glasses worth of lotion on your body. It is almost impossible to apply sunscreen to your scalp and that makes this area very susceptible to burning. To prevent a painful head burn, wear a solid hat when venturing outdoors for extended periods of time. This will also offer some protection for your face as well. Your body will often tell you when it has had enough of the sun. Pause in your activities for a moment and evaluate your condition. Does your skin feel overly warm? Are you starting to notice feelings of tightness? Are you experiencing any pain at this point? If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, head indoors. If you are outside with other people you can always ask them to look you over. However, the reflection from the sun on your skin can often mask the visual signs of a burn, so it may be difficult for them to accurately gauge if you are headed in that direction. It can take up to six months for your skin to fully heal after a sunburn. If you are burned again during this interval, the healing process can...

Article in English: Purchase a commercial cleaner, such as Goof Off Stain Remover, to finish the job. Look for specific caulk removers. Follow all instructions and warnings supplied by the manufacturer to ensure proper cleaning. Warning: Always pretest new cleaners on old clothing before applying it to important or favorite garments. Antibacterial sanitizing products can remove some stains from clothing, and they may be effective on caulk. First, squeeze the sanitizer onto the stained area. Rub the spot gently with a tissue or a damp rag. You may need to use several applications of sanitizer if the stain is especially bad. Wet the stain with water. Pour baking soda onto the fabric while it's still wet. Massage the baking soda into the fabric with a rag or towel until the caulk comes out. If the stain does not come out completely, keep trying. Put the clothing in the wash afterward, and results will improve even more.

Article in English: Purchase a cutting of horseradish from a greenhouse or grocery store. Most of the time, these places will sell crowns (the uppermost part of the plant) or roots that are pre-cut and ready to plant. Most gardeners start horseradish from crowns, as the plant grows from the roots and only its weed-like flowers produce seeds. Like carrots or potatoes, horseradish roots are ready to go straight into the ground. Set aside an area in the corner of your garden to plant the horseradish crop, or designate a unique space such as a barrel or hanging planter to keep it from overtaking other plants. Horseradish takes roots quickly and flourishes in cool conditions, and it can quickly spread throughout your garden if you don’t check its growth.  Horseradish is a perennial, so plant it somewhere you'd like to have it growing for years to come. If you are working with a smaller garden, look into alternative planting methods such as terracing or using contained planting methods like a half barrel or Smart Pot.

Article in English: Purchase a degreaser concentrate if you’ve already tried wiping the surface down with a homemade cleaner, or if you just want to use a professional-grade detailer. You can find degreasers for car interiors at your local automotive or home improvement store. Since it’s a concentrated product, you’ll have to dilute the degreaser when you’re ready to use it. If you’re using a store-bought degreaser, you’ll need to dilute it before using it on your car vinyl. Mix one part degreaser with four parts of water. Then pour your solution into a clean spray bottle. Spray your diluted degreaser or homemade cleaner directly onto the scuffed vinyl. Scrub with your magic eraser using smooth, even motions until you’ve removed the scuff. For tight spaces that you can’t spray directly, you can spray the scrub pad. If the space is too tight for the scrub pad to access, try using a hard bristle toothbrush. The vinyl surface texture will determine the number of scrub pads you’ll need. Smoother surfaces will most likely require only a single pad. If the texture is rougher or more rubberized, you’ll likely wear through a pad and will need to replace it as necessary until you’ve removed the scuff. When you’ve finished buffing out the scuff, you’ll be left with residual cleaner and light debris. Wipe it away using a dry microfiber cloth. Using microfiber will leave you with a lint-free finish.

Article in English: Purchase a detergent that's specifically designed for use in an HE machine. You should also use only the recommended amount of HE detergent (and fabric softener). If you use more detergent than is necessary, the detergent will build up on your clothes and on your machine. Detergent buildup can create odor and cause mildew to grow. Don't let your clean wet clothes stay in the washing machine for hours before switching them to the dryer. Mildew and odors develop more quickly in HE washers than top load models. If you can't switch the load of wet laundry, at least try to crack the door open so that the moisture isn't completely trapped in the washing machine. Ideally, you should take an old towel and completely wipe around the gasket after every load of laundry you wash. The goal is to remove all moisture from the gasket so mildew can't grow. Keep the door slightly open when you're done washing a load so that moisture evaporates from the machine. You should also dry the inside of the door, especially if you tend to keep the door closed. While you should be in the habit of regularly cleaning the detergent dispenser panel or tray, get in the habit of at least removing it after each wash cycle. Take the dispenser tray out and let it air dry. This will also get air moving into the machine itself which can prevent mold growth. If you're in the habit of removing the dispenser tray after each wash, you can quickly check it over for black mildew or stains that need to be cleaned.

Article in English: Purchase a new air conditioner filter at your local home improvement store. Consult your owner's manual for the correct size, or take your old filter to the store with you. If you can't find the shutoff switch on the unit, then turn it off at the main panel. Replace the filter. Vacuum up any visible dust and debris. If your motor has lubrication ports, squeeze 5 drops of oil that is specifically formulated for electric motors into the ports. Avoid penetrating or all-purpose oil (such as WD-40). If you're unsure about the lubrication ports, check your owner's manual. Remove the plastic condensation tube and check for algae growth. If the tube is clogged, you can either replace it or pour a solution of 1 part bleach to 16 parts water into the tube through a funnel. Use a pipe cleaner or a small bristled brush.

Article in English: Purchase a solvent gel marked “paint and varnish stripper” to remove spray paint from masonry or stone walls. Put on a pair of protective gloves and use a paintbrush to apply a thick layer of the gel onto the spray painted surface. Be sure to test the stripper in an inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire affected surface. If you’re treating items like a decorative object or piece of furniture, wrap it completely in plastic. If you’re removing spray paint from a wall, cover the area with plastic. Make sure the plastic wrap tightly covers all areas where you’ve applied the gel. You can remove the gel once you see the surface start to warp and wrinkle, or after about four hours. Pressure wash with cold water at a setting less than 300 psi. Hold the nozzle about 1.5 to 2.5 feet (about 0.5 to 0.75 meter) from the surface, and wash from the bottom up to prevent dripping pigment from re-staining the surface.  Wear work clothes, protective gloves, and goggles when pressure washing a wall. Repeat the stripping process on stubborn patches as necessary if any paint remains. Even after pressure washing, stripper can leave a residual shadow on stone or brick walls and other porous surfaces. Purchase masonry cleaner and dilute it at one part cleaner to six parts water. Apply the diluted solution to the surface, let it sit for one to two minutes, then pressure wash with cold water.

Article in English: Purchase an organic or an inorganic mulch online or at a home and gardening store. Sprinkle the mulch around the rose bush in an even layer. Leave 1 inch (2.5 cm) of clearance around the base of the bush.  Do not pile the mulch up around the crown of the bush. Adding mulch will allow the soil to retain more moisture for the roots and discourage weed growth. Organic mulch includes wood chips, straw, grass clippings, and leaves. Inorganic mulch includes gravel, stones, and glass. Replace or add more organic mulch once a year at the beginning of the summer. Laying down cardboard mulch can solve extreme weed problems. Place the mulch over the entire area so that you add a top layer of mulch. This will prevent any weed seeds from being exposed to the sun and will prevent them from sprouting. If you don’t have weekly rainfall or your rose bush is a potted indoor plant, you must thoroughly soak the soil. The top 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) of the soil should be moist. You can check this by poking your finger into the top layer or soil. If it’s dry, water it. Roses will wilt and dry out when they aren’t watered enough. If you water your roses in the middle of the day when the sun is out, they will get water spots. In addition, the water will evaporate quickly and won’t have a chance to penetrate the soil.

Article in English: Purchase any combination of kitchen cabinets that do not have a countertop already attached (as this will allow you to combine them into a single unit in your preferred arrangement by adding a single countertop). You can buy cabinets which resemble or are the same as your existing cabinets, or you can get cabinets which are different but match. Pay attention to the back and sides of the cabinets. If they are unfinished, you will need to finish them yourself. Cover them with plywood or MDF, which can then be painted. Arrange the cabinets in the place and order that you would like them to go. You will likely want to join multiple pieces together, if using more than one unit. Do this by screwing from the inside of one cabinet and into the other. Try to do this in areas where the wood is thickest, such as at the frame. You can have both cabinets facing the same direction, have them face in opposite directions, or (if the dimensions allow it) with one cabinet facing to the side. It will depend on the look you are going for and the way you intend to use the space. Once the cabinets are placed, make or purchase a countertop to cover all pieces. You can use a variety of materials, from butcher's block to granite. Even a poured slab of concrete (stained, textured, or left alone) can make an excellent countertop. It will need to be sized according to the dimensions of the cabinet combinations you've chosen; just be sure to leave an extra two inches in both length and width, in order to create the lip of the counter. Add any finishing touches and detail you desire to personalize your new kitchen island. You can alter it to more visually match with your style, your kitchen or your home. You can also add storage solutions in order to maximize your counter space, making room for more appliances or more workspace to prepare amazing meals for your family.  You can paint the lower sections of your new island to contrast with the rest of your cabinets, or you can leave them as they are. Try experimenting with bright colors to...
