Article in English: Most people are more concerned about differentiating real leather from faux, or fake leather. But serious connoisseurs know that there are actually multiple grades of real leather, of which "Genuine Leather" is actually the second lowest grade. From most luxurious to least, the other types of real leather are:  Full Grain Leather Top Grain Leather Genuine Leather Bonded Leather Full grain leather only uses the very highest (closest to the air) layer of skin, which is the toughest, most durable, and most beloved. It is left unfinished, meaning it has completely unique characteristics, creases, and coloring. Because of the smaller amount of leather on the surface of each animal and the difficulty of working with full grain toughness, the price is understandably high. Be aware that some manufacturers will report something is "made with full grain leather" even if only parts of the chair or sofa are full grain. This is another reason why buying without seeing the good is rarely recommended. The most common "luxury" leather is top grain, which takes the layer of skin just below full grain and works it lightly to remove imperfections. It is smoother and more consistent than full grain, but easier to work as well, keeping the price down. While not as durable as full grain, it is still a strong, well-crafted leather. Genuine leather is made by stripping off the harder, more expensive grains from the top, then using the softer, easier to work leather underneath. It is not as durable as full or top grain, but it is much cheaper since it can be manufactured into a variety of goods with ease. Remember -- genuine leather is a specific grade, not the phrase for real leather. If you request genuine leather in a leather shop, they will have a specific type of product in mind. While bonded leather is still leather, it isn't an unbroken or regular piece of animal skin. Instead, the shavings from all the other leather grades are collected, ground up, and mixed with an adhesive liquid to make a piece of leather. Though cheap,...

"Натуральная кожа" – это всего лишь один из реальных видов кожи на рынке. Покупайте крупнозернистую кожу только в изделиях самого высокого класса. Ищите пометку "лицевая кожа", чтобы приобрести высококачественные изделия по гораздо более разумной цене. "Натуральная кожа" может быть похожа на ощупь на замшу. Старайтесь держаться подальше от "синтетической кожи", которую изготавливают из стружки размельченной и склеенной воедино кожи.


Article in English: Most people are somehow afraid of eating reddish meat. Don't be scared off by red juices. There is some real chemistry going on in the mouth when you taste the juices. Take advantage of it. Seriously, make it smoke! What you want is black lines that sear the meat and concentrate flavour. Note: If your marinade is oily enough, your steaks will not stick to the pan. Then remove it from the heat. If you don't, your meat will resemble shoe's soles. The resting period is essential, so please do not ignore it. If your searing process was done correctly, when cutting your steak you should have a maximum of 1 mm thick browned meat on each side of the steak. The in-between should be furiously red. Salad for summer and steamed potatoes for winter are both excellent sides for your steaks.

Article in English: Most people can fairly readily tell a forced smile from a real one, sometimes called the “Duchenne” smile after a pioneer in smile research. This is because the two use different muscles and different parts of the brain. But what exactly happens? What makes a real smile look “real”?  During a genuine smile, there is voluntary and involuntary contraction of two muscles: the zygomatic major and the orbicularis oculi, which raise the corners of your mouth and the areas around your cheeks and eyes, respectively. A forced smile only uses mouth muscles, however, because we cannot voluntarily contract the orbicularis oculi. This is why some people say a real smile uses the whole face, especially the eyes. Real smiles engage separates part of the brain, as well. While a forced smile uses the motor cortex, the real deal engages the limbic system, or the brain's emotional center. Like the rest of your body, your facial muscles will get better at their job if you exercise them often. They can be strengthened and toned through use, making it easier for you to flash your smile. Facial exercises and smiling can also make you look healthier and younger.  For a simple exercise, try a plain smile. Stretch the corners of your mouth laterally and hold for 10 seconds. Then, part your lips slightly and hold another 10 seconds. Repeat, even expanding your smile if you want.  Try this exercise to erase fine lines around your mouth: pucker your lips and suck in your cheeks, then try to smile. Hold this pose until the muscles start to tire. Do it once a day. Another exercise is the “silly rabbit.” For this one, smile as widely as possible without parting your lips. Then, try to wiggle your nose back and forth. This will engage the cheek muscles. Hold for 10 seconds and repeat. As said, a real smile does not just use the mouth and lips. It also engages the upper face, causing small crinkles around our eyes. In fact, this is probably the strongest give-away between a fake smile (using only the mouth and teeth) and a full, genuine one....

Article in English: Most people could stand to be a little healthier. See if your family wants to get in on the action. Talk to your parents about making healthier changes for the whole family. For instance, you could say to your parents, "I don't feel like I'm at a healthy weight, and I'd like to make some changes. What do you think about getting the whole family involved? I think we could all be a little healthier." If possible, it's best to keep junk food out of your house completely. However, if other people in your house still eat it, then you obviously can't do that. You can ask them to hide it away from you, though. Maybe the rest of the family could have a special cabinet for junk food that you don't go into, or maybe they could keep special snacks in their rooms, when possible. If you can't see it, you'll be less likely to eat it. You're going to not do what you're supposed to sometimes. It's just human nature. The key is to do it in moderation. Try to do the right thing about 90 percent of the time, and you'll be fine. Beating yourself up isn't going to help the situation. It's best if you can sit down to a meal with your family, as you can all enjoy a healthy meal together. However, even just sitting down for a meal instead of eating standing up or in front of the television can help you pay attention to what you're eating and learn not to mindlessly plow through your food. If your parents aren't much into cooking, maybe you can learn a few simple, healthy meals to cook for your family once and a while. For instance, baking fish in the oven is fairly simple, and perhaps you can learn how to boil vegetables. If you're interested, ask your parents if you can take a basic cooking class. Breakfast gives you enough energy to start your day. Plus, when you eat breakfast, you won't be as hungry later. That means you won't be as tempted to snack throughout the day. Include a little bit of protein, whole grains, and a fruit or veggie if you can. For instance, try a bowl of oatmeal with some low-fat yogurt and blueberries. You...

Article in English: Most people don't know what cheerleading really is. If your parents think that cheerleaders are mean people that do nothing but wave pom-poms, explain to them what you really want to do, how much you love cheerleading, and that all-star cheerleading is not the same thing as cheering for your school or football. Make sure you aren't putting them on the spot. Make sure they agree with you and you aren't pressuring them. They will more likely help you if you stay calm and show them your mature. Be happy, smile, make friends, don't be mean, laugh a lot, and be sporty! Remember that being mean and rude to other teammates could get you kicked off the cheerleading team, so remember to be nice to everyone in your team and outside our team. Also make sure that you pick a good team. Before you become an all-star cheerleader, you need to know what all-star cheerleading is. Look up videos on Youtube or visit the USASF (US All-Star Federation) website to see how it's like being an all-star cheerleader. Know all the rules and levels so you'll have an idea what level you'll be on and what you'll be doing. And be sure to know the difference between all-star cheerleading and football/basketball cheerleading before you sign up! If you're tall and strong, you'll probably be a base or backspot. If you're short, flexible, and agile you'll probably be a flyer. If you're a combination of both, maybe you could be two things at a time! Look on the website for pictures, look on youtube for videos, and see if on the website they have requirements for the team you want to try out for. For previews on competitions go to websites like Jamfest or U.S. Nationals. Remember to find a good team. If the team only has seven girls or goes in only two competitions a year, you might not want to join if cheerleading is your passion. Make sure you join a good sized teams with plenty of levels and that goes on competitions! And if possible, try joining a team that goes to Worlds.

Article in English: Most people don’t like to admit that they are having diarrhea. Including embarrassing details like this will help convince the nurse that you are telling the truth. They’ll likely think no one would be willing to own up to that information if it wasn’t true! You can say, “I don’t really feel like I can sit through class. I already had to run to the bathroom earlier today. I was so embarrassed that I had to interrupt Mr. Carlson to ask permission.” to go home immediately. In most school districts, a fever is an indicator that you should be sent home. Once you get to the nurse’s office, be ready to make your temperature seem higher than it is. Doing the following will help:  Claim to feel tired. Fevers can make you drowsy. If you are lying down on a cot, rub your face on the pillow if the nurse leaves the room for a moment. This will make you look flushed. Ask to use the bathroom. Swish warm water in your mouth to make your mouth warmer. Cough into your hands and lick your palms. This will make them feel clammy, which indicates a fever. If you’re looking to just miss a class or 2, faking a simple headache might be the way to go. Many nurses might not be willing to send you home without clear evidence that you’re sick, but most are likely to let you rest in their office for a while.  Try saying that your head is aching and that you would like to rest. Keep in mind that while this might work once or twice, a good nurse will definitely get suspicious if you pull this too often. If you ask to go home, the nurse might suspect that you are just trying to get out of school. Instead, just describe your symptoms. Let them ask you if you would like them to call your parents. You can say, “Yeah, I guess that’s a good idea. I told them earlier that I wasn’t feeling well. They’re probably wondering how I’m doing.”

Article in English: Most people don’t take the time to give their dogs a massage. Though it may sound silly, just spending 20 minutes once or twice a week giving your dog a nice, relaxing massage can help deepen your bond. Massage him as you would a human — behind the ears, on the neck, on his back, and anywhere that seems to make him feel good. Start off gently and deepen your massages if your dog seems to like it. This will be a great way for you to physically connect with your dog. Every dog is different. Some like to be massaged, while some may wrangle out of your grasp. Get a feel for what your dog likes as you try this new bonding activity. If he just prefers to be petted, then don’t force it and stick to that. If you work in a more hip office that lets you bring your dog to work, then take him to work with you once in a while, if you can swing it. Though you’ll have to tend to your dog a bit and may not be able to have him there the whole day, just taking the dog to your workplace can reinforce your bond in a completely new environment. Make an effort to incorporate your dog in other aspects of your life. If there’s a dog-friendly bar or restaurant in your neighborhood, bring your dog there once in a while, so you can have fun with your friends while letting your dog roam a bit.  Making the effort to take your dog out with you will help you bond because he’ll be happy that you don’t want him to be cooped up all day. Plus, your dog may meet other dogs at these bars or restaurants that he may like to play with, so he’ll love the extra social time. If you have trained your dog well and think training competitions are the way to go, then another way for you and your dog to bond is for you to enter him in competitions. You can then spend more time grooming your dog, teaching him tricks, and traveling with your dog as well. Though this isn’t for everybody, if you’re committed to training your dog, this can be a great bonding activity. Entering your dog in competitions will mean that you have to spend a lot of quality time with...

Article in English: Most people eat too fast and take in too much food and too many calories before they actually realize they're full. Your brain takes around 20 minutes to register feelings of fullness, suggesting that you need to slow down so that your brain can properly communicate that you're full. And remember, feeling full usually means eating less or stopping eating.  Mindful eating is a tactic that many use to stay at a healthy weight. You simply eat when truly hungry and stop when full. The brain will let you know when you're full as long as you give it time to do so. Also, differentiate between true hunger and boredom/habit/emotional hunger. If you don't feel full immediately after a meal, wait. The chemicals your brain releases when you eat or drink take time to rise and to communicate that sense of fullness. As the chemicals increase, your hunger dissipates; this is why you should pause for a little bit after eating and before having a second helping. Use utensils and sit at a table when eating. Eating with your hands will mean that you take in more food in one scoop. Don't turn on a TV or anything that may distract you. Typically, people who eat in front of a television tend to eat more because they're not focused on what they're doing and how much they're eating. Studies also show that people who eat with larger utensils eat less than those who eat with smaller utensils. Another good idea is to put your food on a smaller plate so it looks fuller and tricks your mind. When you feel comfortably satiated after eating, stop and put your utensils and napkin on the plate to signal that you're finished. This is also a signal to yourself that you're done with your meal as well as to those around you. Remember, you don't have to eat all of your meal once you feel satisfied. Satisfied and satiated is different than feeling stuffed. Eat until you are 80% full. No one should feel stuffed and sick after eating. In many cases, you may mistake thirst for hunger which means you may eat when it's not necessary. By keeping yourself...

Article in English: Most people experience a spike in sex drive after undergoing an adrenaline rush. Try setting some time aside some time to be together after a vigorous activity, like riding a motorcycle or surfing. If that sounds like too much for you, there is always the date night classic: watching a horror movie together. Working out activates testosterone production and low testosterone is one of the more significant causes of a low sex drive. It can also help to treat some of the major physical causes for low sex drive.  For optimal testosterone benefit from weightlifting, work major muscle groups with compound exercises, like bench presses, squats, or barbell curls.  After an hour your body will begin producing cortisol which counteracts testosterone. Therefore, you should keep your routines under 60 minutes. Cardio will not only increase testosterone but also help with some of the conditions which make it physiologically difficult to get an erection, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity.  Yoga is sometimes believed to be particularly effective at increasing sex drive. Proponents argue that it has all the benefits of the other routines, but also increases blood flow to the pelvic area and treats anxiety. Oysters, chocolate, figs, chili peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, pomegranate juice, avocado and eggs have all been rumored to help put you in the mood. The science is inconclusive, but it doesn't hurt to try. Conversely, some foods are thought to decrease sex drive, including processed baked goods, dairy products, and soy. Drugs, especially cocaine and ecstasy, can reduce sex drive. So can the overuse of alcohol. When you do drink, try to stick to red wine. Studies suggests that moderate red wine consumption increases sex drive, possibly by improving blood flow.

Article in English: Most people experience mild anger a few times every week. In some cases, it’s perfectly normal to feel angry, such as if you feel someone has insulted or hurt you. However, you should learn to recognize signs that your anger has verged into the “problem” category.  Do you frequently yell, scream, or curse when you’re angry? Do you verbally lash out at others? Does your anger frequently lead to physical aggression? How severe is the expression of this aggression? Less than 10 percent of normal anger episodes involve physical aggression, so if you’re experiencing it often, that could be a sign that something more serious is at issue. Do you feel the need to self-medicate when you’re angry, such as by using drugs, alcohol, or food? Do you feel that your anger negatively affects your personal relationships, your job, or your general health? Have others expressed these concerns to you? Anger can cause a variety of physical symptoms, particularly in women, who are often taught by social and cultural pressures to avoid expressing hostility and anger openly. Feelings of physical tension or muscle aches, rapid breathing, feeling jittery, and experiencing headaches are all symptoms that can be linked to anger. Understanding when you’re really feeling angry, rather than trying to repress that knowledge, can help you process your anger. Anxiety, depression, and insomnia can also be linked to feelings of anger. The ways in which your parents and other family members expressed their anger have a significant effect on your own patterns of dealing with it. How did members of your family process and express their anger when you were growing up? Did your parents openly express anger, or was it repressed? One way to become more in touch with your feelings and why you’re experiencing anger is to write down your emotions in detail. Reflect on not only what happened during an event or experience, but how you reacted and what your train of thought was. Try not to judge these feelings as you write. Just express them so that you can...

Article in English: Most people fear the death of a loved one at some point in their lives. Additionally, most people experience loss of loved ones in their lifetime. According to terror management theory, thinking about death or a loved one dying can produce paralyzing fear. Thinking about another person dying also highlights our own mortality.  Know that you are not alone. Other people can empathize with your situation because they have probably dealt with a similar issue. If you feel comfortable, you can share you feelings with others that have dealt with loss and this can help you have a sense that you are supported and validated in your feelings. Validate your own fears and feelings. Say to yourself, “It is okay to be fearful or sad. These are normal responses to the situation.” If you are caring for an ill loved one, this can create additional anxiety, distress, burden, and loss of independence. While you can definitely do your best to help your loved one, you may not be able to control how long your loved one lives. Focus instead, on what you can do today, such as spend time with them or cope healthfully with your fear and sadness.  Think of everything you can control about the situation. For example, you can control your own behaviors – what you chose to do about the situation. You can focus on doing your best to comfort and care for your loved one. You can also focus on soothing yourself and expressing your own emotions with loved ones in order to process your grief. Let go of what you cannot control. Visualization and imagery can help use gain perspective on what we can and cannot control. Imagine placing your fears on leaves that are floating down a river. Watch them as they drift away. Set your limits. If you are caring for a loved one who is ill, this can cause a variety of extra challenges including stretched limits, anxiety, and depressed mood. Only do what you can do, and set aside time to take care of yourself. You may need to set boundaries with others in order to preserve this time alone. Use mindfulness to...

Article in English: Most people find that just knowing they should quit isn’t enough of a motivation to do so. To quit any type of addiction, it’s necessary to have a rock solid reason that means more to you than smoking cigarettes ever could. Think deeply about why you personally want to quit. In other words, what’s your motivation for living a full, healthy life?  Many people can only find the strength to quit when they realize they’re doing it for someone they love. Is your inspiration for quitting the fact that you want to live to see your children or grandchildren grow up, or you want to grow old with your partner? Perhaps the reason is that you don’t want to ruin your own health. Maybe you have a list of things you want to accomplish before you die, like writing a novel or hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. If you’re hard up financially, saving money can also serve as a motivation, especially when you consider all the other things you could be spending it on. Make sure to write down your reasons for quitting as well as the reasons why you smoke. Having this written out will make it easier for you to remind yourself of your reasons for quitting, which is crucial since the psychological aspects of smoking are far more powerful than the physiological aspects. It is helpful to tell people about your plan and let them know when your start date will be. If you tell everyone you know that you’re quitting on your birthday, you’ll be more likely to hold yourself to it. Tell people who you know will be supportive of your plan.You can also ask friends and family members to help hold you accountable. For example, you can promise to pay them a certain amount of money if they see you smoking. This may help to motivate you to stick to your plan. In the days leading up to your quit date, start getting rid of the stuff that helps support your habit. Toss out all your special papers, your ashtrays, and other items that remind you of smoking. Keeping them around is a sign that you’re not really committed to quitting, since you must assume that...

Article in English: Most people get their earlobes pierced, which is the most widely accepted mode of ear piercing. It will be considered appropriate at most schools and places of employment. The jewelry is pierced through the loose section at the front of the ear just above the earlobe. People will often put studs or hoops in this piercing. You can get multiple holes in your ear lobe as well, allowing you to display many different earrings at once. You can also pierce the cartilage on your ear. This is the stiffer area that surrounds your ear. Cartilage piercings are less common, but many people prefer the look. Keep in mind piercing cartilage is more painful than fleshy areas like the earlobe. There are many phone apps you can download that allow you to upload a picture of yourself and then preview several piercings using that picture. Consider using an app like this to better visualize a potential piercing if you're going a non-conventional route.  The rook is pierced through the fold of cartilage in your ear just above the opening to the ear hole. It is often pierced with a barbell or sometimes a stud. Industrial and orbital piercings are pierced through the outer, top cartilage of your ear. The industrial is usually one piercing using two holes. The orbital is usually more than one piercing side-by-side (small hoops or studs). The helix is pierced through the outer cartilage on the outside edge of your ear. There are a lot of different ways this piercing can be done. Some will have several holes using one piece of jewelry. Some have several pieces of jewelry side-by-side. The forward helix is pierced through the outer front cartilage of the ear. People will usually put a small hoop or stud in this piercing. There are two main methods of piercings ears, using a spring-loaded piercing gun or a sterilized needle. Most “mall shops” use piercing guns, which pierce the ear by shooting the earring through the ear. Most piercing salons use hollowed sterilized needles. Tattoo parlors also use sterilized needles, but there may be...

Article in English: Most people hand in their resignation when they are burnt out and feel like they can't work at their job anymore. This burnt out feeling often inspires a lack of productivity. While this is an understandable feeling, you should do all you can to do the best work you can on your last project. You may end up wanting a recommendation from your boss in the future (or you may even work with them again.) It's best if you are remembered as a hard worker who gave it their all for the duration of their employment.  Be aware of any types of benefits you may be eligible for. If you are about to be laid off, you may have a severance package, or the option to collect unemployment benefits. These can be very handy if you have not secured a new job. Resigning from a position may disqualify you from receiving anything. It may be better in some cases to receive these benefits while looking for your next position. Make sure you learn the basic rules pertaining to retirement accounts like a 401k, if applicable, to avoid paying a tax bill. If you want to leave under the best possible terms, don't leave your employer high and dry, scrambling to cover your position. Give at least 2 weeks notice (or the minimum notice specified in your employment contract, if applicable) so that your boss can prepare to have others cover for you, or have time to groom a replacement. Even if your contract doesn't specify a notice timeline, you want to shoot for 2-3 weeks as a courtesy to your employer. Fewer than 2 weeks and your employer probably doesn't have an adequate replacement; more than 3 weeks and your employer will be wondering why you're still around. Once you've made the decision, don't go blabbing it all over company hill until word gets to your immediate supervisor. Think ahead, like a general, and know that knowledge is power.  Give your boss or supervisor time to absorb and process the information. If the company makes an attractive counter-offer, it will be awkward if you have already announced your plans to coworkers.

Article in English: Most people have bacteria and germs on their skin. However, these germs can cause an infection if they get under the skin through the nicks made by the fiberglass splinters. If the fiberglass slivers are in your hand(s), skip this step. You do not want to push the slivers deeper into your skin. Fiberglass splinters have a tendency to break. You do not want them to break off below the skin or be pushed deeper into your skin. Cleanse the area by letting soapy water flow over it, but don't rub or scrub the area. You could force fibers deeper into your skin.  Pour water into any container, rub the soap in between your wet hands, and submerge your hands in the water. Repeat until the water is soapy. If your hands are the affected area, someone will have to do this for you. The same germs that are on your hands are on the skin around the fiberglass slivers.  Once you begin to move the slivers around trying to remove them, there is a risk of infection if the germs get under the skin. Look for fine-tipped tweezers to make grabbing the fibers easier. Bacteria is on every object we use. The alcohol destroys these germs so that you do not put them under the skin as you try to pull out the fiberglass splinters. Rubbing alcohol or ethyl alcohol kills germs by dissolving their outer protective coating; they fall apart and die. Increase your chances of success with removing the fiberglass splinters by working in a well-lit area. The thin fiberglass fibers are a white or light yellow color. They can be hard to see when they are in your skin. Focus on the tips of the fibers and grasp them, then pull them slowly away from your skin. Try not to push them in deeper. Use a needle if this happens or if the splinter is already completely under the skin.  Use a sewing needle that has been sterilized with rubbing alcohol to gently lift skin or break through skin if you can see the splinter just under the skin. Then you can use the tweezers to remove the fiberglass.  Do not become frustrated if it takes several attempts to get the...

Article in English: Most people have experienced an emotional reaction to a piece of music. It might be hearing a favorite song from high school, your wedding dance song, or an old family favorite that provokes a very real mental and physical reaction in people. Certain pieces of music can transport an individual to a different time and place. In other words, music can temporarily remove us from reality. Music can create euphoric reactions in individuals. And like everything relating to music, it's all about your personal tastes. Want to feel dizzy and disoriented? Kids are the experts! Think back to your younger years. Remember the exhilarating feeling you got from spinning around and around in circles until you fell down? Why not try it again! You could also turn somersaults,  or grab your friends and head to the local park or playground. Find a hill to roll down, or go as high as you can on the swings. Fear can elicit many of the same feelings that being drunk can cause. One of the common denominators is feeling a loss of control. When done responsibly, this feeling of being out of control can cause a rush of adrenaline--and excitement. Also, after your mind logically realizes that you are not actually in any danger, a sense of giddiness and light-heartedness can set in. Which makes the fear worth it! There are lots of ways to scare yourself. Grab a creepy book, or watch a thriller on tv. Better yet, grab your friends and have a camp out in the backyard. Have a competition to see who can cause the most shrieking with the scariest ghost story. Feeling groggy is one of the most common reactions to drinking alcohol. You can try to mimic that by making yourself as tired as possible. Push yourself to stay up later than normal, and read or watch television until you are forcing yourself to keep your eyes open. This will feel like you've had too much to drink. It's not a good idea to try this one when you have an important day at school or work coming up. Or a lot of any kind of caffeine. Too much caffeine in any form is going to...

Article in English: Most people have, at some point, experienced a “gut feeling.” It seems to arise from nowhere but is quite distinct. Gut feelings make people feel in any number of ways. They can also cause a person to sense and know things without any logical explanation.  And, at times, they spur a person to do things he or she might not otherwise.   The famous psychotherapist, Carl Jung, said that all people use intuition as one of the four ways we function in life. The other three are feeling, thinking and sensing. This makes intuition distinct and not determined by the others.  Even though many people dismiss intuition as being either nonsense or luck, scientists are now saying it's a very real ability that's been identified in lab settings and on bran scans. Researchers say that everyone is born with intuition, but not everyone is open to believing in it or willing to listen to it. And some people are more intuitive than others. That may be because they were naturally born with a heightened awareness. It could be because they've seen it work in their lives. And it might be because, along the way, they learned to notice and pick up on subtle cues from others and the environment.  Often those who are very intuitive are also particularly people-focused. They are more easily able to sense what others are feeling. They're generally more emotionally oriented than analytical. They frequently make decisions quickly and efficiently. They're able to do this because they use past experiences and emotions to guide them. Women are often more intuitive than men.[citation needed] This could be the result of an evolutionary process that's made women particularly conscious of human responses and social stimuli. And there is evidence that some people can go a step beyond what's even normal in this realm. There's documentation of people knowing events have occurred far away, even though they have no prior knowledge of the event or factual basis to explain how they knew. Scientific studies have shown that highly intuitive people experience...

Article in English: Most people hosting a "tea party" think of an afternoon event that takes place between mealtimes and provides small snacks, such as small sandwiches or scones. These can be "buffet style" and require no place settings at all, or they may be sit-down affairs with a limited selection of tableware and utensils, as a full meal is not served. If you are hosting a formal evening event, you will likely need several more implements depending on what type of food is served. Either way, be sure to read the steps below carefully so you can determine what is necessary for your tea party. The evening meal is properly referred to as "high tea," although the term is frequently misused to mean any type of tea. For a sit-down tea party, the table or tables must be able to seat every guest at once. For most tea parties, the food should all fit in the center of the table. If you are serving a full meal in the evening, generally referred to as a "high tea" rather than an afternoon tea party, you only need enough room for one course at a time. Unless you are serving a full meal with more than one course, the guests are typically provided with one plate only. Ideally, this should be a luncheon plate 9 to 9.5 inches (23–24 cm) across, but you may use plates of other sizes if necessary. Fold each napkin into a rectangle, square, or triangle, then place to the left of the plate with the open edge on the right side. However, if you need to save space at your table, you may place each napkin on the center of a plate. You may only need to provide one or two utensils per guest, depending on what food is served. At minimum, place a small spoon on the right of each plate for stirring tea. If you are serving sticky cakes or messy foods, also provide a small fork on the left of each plate, and one or more knives between the plate and the spoon, with the blades facing the plate.  Provide steak knives if meat is served. Provide butter knives for each guest when serving jams or other spreads, located to the right of the steak knife if present....

Article in English: Most people learning a language do not commit each word's form table to memory, but in Latin this is necessary in order to fully understand and use the language. The easiest way to memorize word forms is to write out the tables for each word you're studying. Then keep writing out each form until you have memorized it. Unfortunately there is no easier method to memorize something than to practice it over and over until you've committed it to memory.  Start with noun declensions and continue writing out each declension until you can instantly recall it. Then move on to adjectives. Then regular verbs in the indicative active, passive, and subjunctive forms. If you do this, you will eventually commit each word form to memory, and with continued practice you will never lose this knowledge. Try repeating the declension or conjugation you're studying that day during your spare moments. It can help speed up the time it takes to learn these word forms by memory. A cognate is the most closely-related word(s) related to a given word or phrase. Identifying English cognates of a Latin word/phrase can help you get a better sense of how the word functions and what it means. Cognates rarely ever mean the exact same thing as the original term. Often the cognate will have a similar meaning but a different part of speech. For example, the Latin word "fidelis" is an adjective, but its English cognate is fidelity (which is a noun). The best way to put your Latin skills to use is by learning to read a piece of text completely in Latin. This may seem like a daunting task, but it is the most efficient way to master the Latin language. Some scholars and educators recommend Lingua Latina (available online and in some campus bookstores) as a good introductory Latin text. It introduces grammatical concepts at a manageable pace and builds to tell a complex story completely in Latin, giving you all the skills you need to fluently read Latin along the way.  Read slowly. It's important that you resist the urge to rush through the text, as...

Article in English: Most people move around during the night to find a more comfortable position. Try moving from your back to your side. If you know you have a position that you usually favor when you’re sleeping, stick with that. You want your pretend sleeping to emulate your real sleeping. Don’t do a big, growly snore, or you’ll give yourself away, but some soft snoring can’t hurt. If you know you never snore, don’t start now. A person observing you will be able to pick up on the fact that something is different. If you’ve been known to occasionally talk in your sleep, why not really hit the ball out of the park and mumble a couple of words? People who sleep talk are not aware that they’re talking, and often will say things that don’t make sense. You can have fun being creative with your sleep talking! Say something absurd, like, “I forgot to take the potatoes down to the river!”

Article in English: Most people need seven to ten hours of sleep a night.  Since sleep deprivation can contribute to elevated stress levels, which leads to worry, it’s important to get enough sleep.  If you have trouble sleeping at night because of your worrying, speak to your doctor. Sleep aids may be needed to get your sleep back under control, and that may be enough to eliminate worry. For those who want a natural sleep aid, consider taking melatonin. Speak to your doctor before taking it to make sure it's safe for you. The vitamins and nutrients you get from healthy foods can help reduce your blood pressure and improve brain functioning, which can help with stress.  This can then lead you to worry less. Exercise reduces stress, so you don’t worry as much. When you are worrying, it can help to go for a run since it’s difficult to be physically active and worry. Vigorous activity can also release endorphins, which can calm you while giving you energy to get through the day.  Go for a bike ride with beautiful scenery around you. Run through a park. Play tennis with a friend. Walk through gardens Go hiking through the woods with friends.

Article in English: Most people prefer to use their fingers to apply BB Cream since it tends to be the easiest method.  Balmy BB Creams should be applied with the hands since the heat of your skin melts it, making it easier to apply. Applying BB Cream with your fingers will produce a less smooth result than applying it with a sponge or brush, though. Squeeze a puddle of BB Cream roughly 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) in diameter, or the size of a dime, onto the back of your hand. Strictly speaking, this is not essential. It will make it easier to dab the cream on in equal portions, however. Dip the tip of your middle finger into the puddle of BB Cream on the back of your hand. Dab the cream on your fingertip onto your face. Only apply it in dots: one in the middle of the forehead, one on the tip of the nose, one on your left cheek, one on your right cheek, and one on your chin.  The dots of BB Cream should be about equal in amount. Do not apply the cream in streaks or in large splotches. You should use the cream sparsely, apply a thin layer to avoid making your skin look too heavy or weighted down. Use your index and middle fingers to gently pat the cream in. Rub the BB Cream into your skin using a circular motion, but instead of keeping your fingers in contact with your skin for the entire motion, tap your fingers up and down as you rub.  This gentle, light pressure spreads the cream evenly without irritating your skin. Start with the forehead and work your way down toward each cheek from the middle. Move onto your nose and chin after that, then finish off with your cheeks. If you are not fond of the patting technique, you can apply gently pressure with your index and middle fingertips. Blend each dab of cream using outward strokes. As before, start with the forehead before working your way to the nose and chin. Finish with the cheeks. Use even gentler pressure when you reach the eye area, regardless of whether your are patting or blending the cream on in strokes. By using a gentle patting pressure near your eyes, you prevent the fine lines...

Article in English: Most people rinse rice for sanitary purposes, and to get rid of the starch dust. Starch is what causes rice to become sticky and clump together. If you cannot bear to eat rice without washing it, then rinse it once or twice—but don't rinse so much that the water runs clear. You still want some of that starch left. Using more water than you actually need will help make the ricer stickier and clumpier. Consider adding a dash of salt. This will give the rice some flavor and make it taste less bland. Do not cover the pot with a lid. Rice gets stickier the longer you let it sit. If you make it a day or two ahead of time, your rice will be extra sticky. If you do plan on waiting that long, however, you might want to cover the rice and leave it in the fridge so that it doesn't dry out or spoil. Transfer the rice to a serving plate. If you want, you can fluff it a little bit with a fork to make it less clumpy.

Article in English: Most people should avoid lifting a dog of 40 pounds or greater by themselves. Every person will have his own weight limit for lifting, so please think of the safety of your pet and yourself when deciding to pick up your dog. Animals will struggle more if they feel like they may fall because they are not supported properly or you are fumbling to hold body parts. Even if your dog weighs less than 20 pounds, it's important to pick him up carefully. Locate your dog's chest right behind the dog’s front legs. Support the dog here when you start to lift. Use your right hand to hold on to the dog’s collar or leash. This keeps him from running away and lets you control his head. Bring your left arm over the top of your dog’s back and lift him from under the chest. Bring the dog under your left arm or “wing.” Hold him to your body to minimize wiggling. If your dog weighs more than 20 pounds, pick him up with one hand under his neck and the other scooped under his rump. At the same time, lift like you're lifting a board. For dogs over 40 pounds, get another person to help. One person will be at the head of the dog with one arm under the neck and the other under the chest. The other person gets a hand under the belly and their other hand scoops under the rump. Lift at the same time. The person at the head of the dog will “call the shots” and give directions when to lift at the same time. For instance, you can count to “three” and lift the dog together on “3.” For a dog in advanced pregnancy, one that has an obviously distended abdomen, avoid the belly area. Lift from under her neck/chest and under the rump. Or, if you suspect your dog has an injured back, lift the dog keeping its back completely level and straight from under the neck and the rump. Definitely get another person to help. This will keep everyone safe.

Article in English: Most people start with a "house ball" and "house shoes" as this is the cheapest option. There are normally many "house balls" to choose from and these are supplied, free-of-charge, by the bowling alley. Shoes may be rented for one price which covers your entire bowling session.  The other option is get your own ball and have it custom-fitted to your hand for your individual swing and release. The fitting and drilling can often be accomplished on the spot (if the resident pro is in the bowling center at the time). The pro will be able to advise you on the best ball composition and weight for your skill level, budget, bowling style, and aspirations. You might be able to find a bargain ball online or in a local store, but you will likely have trouble sorting all the options and should expect to pay the pro to fit you and drill the ball. It is not recommended to get your ball fitted and drilled at a box store unless they specialize in sporting equipment, and, in particular, bowling supplies. If you buy from the pro shop, though, you will have free advice and free drilling. If you purchase your ball, you will have two basic choices:  The conventional grip where the middle and ring finger go into the ball up to the second joint of each finger. This is the only grip option if you are using a "house ball." In this option, a custom ball is drilled to accommodate the natural slant of your fingers in relation to each other and to the radius of the ball. Don't worry about this, though—the pro will take care of all the measurements and should make adjustments over your next few bowling sessions. There should be no charge for the adjustments, but ask just to be sure. The fingertip grip in which the middle and ring finger go into the ball only up to the first joint. The fingertip grip affords more leverage at release, allowing you to put more "juice" on the shot—that is, impart more revolutions on the ball per unit time. Normally, with a  fingertip grip, there will be rubberized inserts in each finger hole. These afford a...

Article in English: Most people tend to associate drinking with some sort of activity, setting, feeling or time of day. Just thinking about socially drinking can lead to increased cravings for alcohol. So, your own thoughts can be triggers to drinking. Negative feelings such as stress and anxiety can also trigger cravings for alcohol.  Clubbing or going to bars is also often associated with drinking and it might be difficult to stop your cravings when visiting such places and witnessing everyone around you drinking. That is why, at least while your cravings are really strong, you should do your best to avoid such trigger settings. You might feel sure that you won’t be tempted to drink, but it is still best not to test yourself, at least in the beginning. This is not to say that you should avoid your friends or having fun, just try to do it in places that don’t remind you of alcohol. Memories from your past can also contribute to cravings. If you start remembering all the good times you had drinking with friends and partying, stop and try to focus on your negative experiences with alcohol instead.  Think of all those times when you felt physically horrible because of alcohol, or call to your mind the times when you made huge mistakes because you were drunk. Concentrate on how these situations made you feel and tell yourself that you don’t want to feel this way again. If you don't like dwelling on negative memories, try concentrating on the future. Try to picture, as vividly as you can, all the wonderful things that will happen to you in the future and think about how alcohol will get in the way of these hopes and dreams. Social support is integral to combating cravings for alcohol. Have you ever been on a diet? As most people who have will let you know, dieting together with friends or family members is much easier than doing it by yourself. This way, when you are craving a piece of moist chocolate cake, you can talk to someone who will help you overcome the craving. The same goes for other types of cravings as well, including...

Article in English: Most people that know they need to lower their ammonia levels find this out from their doctors. This problem is usually associated with another health problem, so controlling your ammonia levels will be part of an overall treatment plan. High ammonia levels are a common symptom of advanced liver disease, known as cirrhosis, Reye's syndrome, and severe cases of hepatitis. If you have one of these diseases, it is likely that you will need to work on reducing your ammonia levels. Before taking medication for high levels of ammonia, you need to verify the problem. Ammonia tests measure the amount of ammonia in the blood, so a blood sample will be required.  Normal ammonia levels range from 15 to 45 µ/dL (11 to 32 µmol/L).  Ammonia levels temporarily rise after exercise, especially strenuous and long-lasting exercise like long-distance running.  Because of this, you should avoid exercise of all kinds as well as smoking before the test. Lactulose is a constipation medication that is used to treat high levels of ammonia in the blood. Lactulose works by removing ammonia from the blood and moving it into the colon. Once in the colon, the ammonia is eliminated from the body when you go to the bathroom.  Follow your doctor's instructions for timing and dosage amount for ammonia removal. Typically, 2–3 tablespoons (30–45 mL) of Lactulose are taken 3 to 4 times a day.  Lactulose is a liquid typically taken by mouth. However, if you have extremely high levels of ammonia and are hospitalized, it may be administered with an enema directly into the digestive system.  Lactulose is the only medication used to lower ammonia levels in the body. However, it is sold under a variety of brand names, including  Duphalac, Enulose, Generlac, Constulose, and Kristalose. While Lactulose does reduce ammonia in the blood, it also causes several side effects, including diarrhea, gas, and nausea. It was developed to treat constipation, so it pulls water out of the body and into the stool. This causes loose stools and other digestive...

Article in English: Most people who are afraid of cats are already aware that cats are pretty harmless. However, they have a fear response that is initiated in the brain that they can’t currently control.  Phobias are often learned behavior.  A person may have one bad experience with a cat, he may have subconsciously begun to associate cats with negative things such as illness, or he may have “learned” to be afraid of cats by watching his parents’ fearful behavior around them when he was a child. Multiple brain regions are involved in phobias. Therefore, it will take you some time to retrain your brain to think and respond differently to cats. When you are able to identify those unhelpful thoughts, then you can begin to evaluate them.  You will probably see that most of these thoughts fall into one (or more) of these three cognitive distortions:  Fortune telling is when a person assumes they know what the outcome of a situation is going to be without any true evidence to support it. For example, you may think “This cat is going to scratch me” even though you’ve never had any interaction with that cat before. Overgeneralizing is when a person takes one specific event and generalizes it to all events. For example, you may think “My friend’s cat scratched me two years ago therefore all cats are vicious.” Catastrophizing is when you predict that a negative outcome is going to occur and believe that when it does, it will result in a catastrophe.  Catastrophizing is when you assume a situation is going to be the absolute worst case scenario. For example, you may think “If the cat scratches me, I will get an infection and die.” You can do this by creating alternative statements to counteract the negative thought. When doing this, you are essentially retraining your subconscious to release the unhelpful cognitive distortions and replace them with more positive beliefs.  Focus on replacing the negative thought with a positive statement that helps you emphasize neutral or more positive outcomes. For example, you could replace the thought...

Article in English: Most people who are clumsy are not too aware of their surroundings. When you get up and start walking, look around and see if there is anything that you will step on, walk into, or run into. It’s easy to trip over things if you have stuff all over the floor.  Decluttering your house and office will help eliminate opportunities for clumsiness.  If your home doesn’t have clear, open walkways throughout the house, you may also want to  arrange your furniture differently. This can help keep you from bumping into things or tripping over them. Using double-sided tape to secure the edges of throw rugs can help keep you from tripping over them. If you have balance issues, wearing shoes with high heels or narrow soles can disrupt your center of gravity and make you more likely to have an accident. Look for shoes with wide, firm soles that give you a solid foundation on the floor. If you must wear heels, look for chunky heels that will provide more stability. You are more distracted when you’re stressed or anxious, and this can lead to accidents and clumsiness. Take what steps you can to  reduce stress in your daily life, and you may see your clumsiness improve too.    Mindfulness training, which helps you learn to focus your attention on your actions in the moment, can not only reduce stress, it can also help with the “cognitive failures” that can cause clumsiness. Try to get enough sleep. Research shows that sleep deficiency can cause a host of physical symptoms, including clumsiness and proneness to accidents. Clumsiness can cause a spiral of embarrassment and self-judgment, which in turn can increase anxiety and cause more clumsiness. Understand that everyone has the occasional klutz moment, and that even chronic clumsiness doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. If you find yourself feeling embarrassed after a trip or a slip, try taking a few deep breaths. Deep, controlled breaths can enhance your sense of calm and self-collectedness, and can stop the cycle of self-blame in its tracks.

Article in English: Most people who have Japanese encephalitis have either no symptoms or mild, short-lived symptoms that are flu-like in presentation — mild-to-moderate fever, fatigue, headache and sometimes vomiting. As such, it's very difficult to identify most cases of Japanese encephalitis because it either causes no symptoms or mimics most other mild infections.  It's estimated that less than 1% of people infected with the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) develop noticeable symptoms.  In people who do develop symptoms, the incubation period (time from initial infection until signs of illness) is typically between five to 15 days. Although most JEV infections produce mild or no symptoms, about 1 in 250 cases result in severe illness, which often starts with a severe fever. A severe fever is a defense mechanism by your body to slow down or stop the production of invading viruses (or bacteria), but when they get much beyond 103 °F (39.4 °C) in adults or 101 °F (38.3 °C) in children, there is a risk of brain damage. The high fever and increased inflammation in the brain caused by JEV trigger other serious and life-threatening symptoms.  Once significant symptoms develop with Japanese encephalitis, usually in children with weakened immune systems, the chances of dying are about 30%.  Mild cases of Japanese encephalitis can increase your temperature by a couple of degrees, but severe cases spike it by five or more degrees. Like other types of infections that affect the brain and/or spinal cord (such as meningitis), a stiff neck can develop with Japanese encephalitis The neck suddenly feels stiff and is difficult to move in all directions, but it generates especially sharp, shooting or electric-like pain with neck flexion (trying to touch your chin to your chest).  When the spinal cord gets inflamed, the muscles closest to the spine get very tight in efforts to protect it, which is called guarding or splinting. As such, the neck muscles will be hard to the touch and feel like they are spasming. Medication, massage or...

Article in English: Most people who have been confirmed to have COVID-19 have had a fever, which is any temperature that's higher than your normal body temperature. The average body temperature is 98.6 °F (37.0 °C), although your normal temperature might be a little higher or lower than this. The most accurate way to determine whether you have a fever is to use a thermometer, although you might also watch for symptoms like sweating, chills, muscle aches, weakness, or dehydration.  If you're an adult and your temperature reaches 103 °F (39 °C) or higher, call your doctor right away.  In infants up to 3 months old, call your pediatrician if their temperature is 100.4 °F (38.0 °C) or higher, or 102 °F (39 °C) or higher if your child is 6-24 months old. For children older than 2, call your doctor if their fever lasts longer than 3 days or is accompanied by severe symptoms. The most common symptoms of coronavirus are coughing and trouble breathing. Other symptoms might include nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, and exhaustion. However, since these symptoms can all have a number of other causes, it's important not to panic just because you're experiencing them. Currently in the U.S., people are considered at low risk for contracting COVID-19 unless they've traveled to an area that's been affected by the disease or they've been in close contact with someone who has a laboratory-confirmed case of coronavirus. Additionally, your doctor may recommend you for testing if you have respiratory symptoms, especially if you test negative for other conditions. As of March 2020, the areas with the most active cases of COVID-19 include China, Iran, Italy, South Korea, and most of Europe. However, this may change over time. Just because you're sick doesn't necessarily mean you have coronavirus. If there have been no known cases of coronavirus in your area and you haven't traveled recently, the chances are high that your illness was caused by something like the flu or a cold, instead. If you have a coworker who recently tested positive for...

Article in English: Most people who have trouble letting themselves cry prefer to experience their emotions alone, away from others. It can be easier to let yourself truly experience your feelings when you aren't worried about what someone else is thinking. There's certainly nothing wrong with crying in front of others, but you might find it more relaxing to be by yourself at first.  Your bedroom might be a good choice if it's a private, quiet place. If your house has a lot of other people in it, try driving somewhere private so you can cry in the car. But make sure you feel well enough while driving there and back; crying while driving can be dangerous. You can also cry in the shower - no one will hear you there. Being outside might help you free up your mind to process emotions. Look for a private spot in the park or on the beach. Many people push their feelings aside and bury themselves in distractions to keep from crying. This technique is so effective that it can result in going months or years without crying. At the first sign of sadness, do you tend to turn on the TV and spend the evening laughing at your favorite show? Next time you start feeling down, resist that impulse and allow yourself to feel the emotion. It's the first step to having a good, hard cry. There are many other types of distractions. You might stay late at work every night, spend all your time going out instead of being alone, or read articles online until you fall asleep. Think about what you tend to do when you're not in the mood to feel emotional, and make the decision to stop and focus on your emotions. Instead of letting your thoughts skip away to something less important, focus your mind on the emotions swirling around in your head. Just let yourself think through them instead of trying to push them away.  If you're sad, think hard about the event that brought about these feelings. Think about how much you wish it hadn't happened, what your life was like before, and what your life will be like from now on. Let yourself understand and feel the loss...

Article in English: Most people who take selfies also happen to have an app on their phones that can add interesting dimension through the use of color and light filters. Not every filter is right for every selfie, so play around with different options before settling on the best one.  The simplest filters are “black and white” and “sepia." Even if you don't have an app installed on your phone, you probably have these features. Other popular filters include those that make the photo look vintage, creepy, romantic, or darker. Feel free to test them all out and see which ones go best with your photo. If you have photo editing software, you can also touch up any blemishes or flaws on the selfie before uploading it to a social media account. You can cut out parts of the background, resize the photo so it frames your face differently, change the way the light looks, and so on. Many of these edits can be made on your phone without using an app, but you might want to look into the dozens of apps available for this purpose. That said, you should use photo editing sparingly. If you cannot make your edits look completely natural, err on the side of caution and delete the changes rather than posting an obvious fake. Share your selfie on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram for all your friends to see. In most cases you can add a caption to describe what's happening in the picture, but you might want to just let it speak for itself.  When you upload a selfie, own it! Pretending that you were taking a picture of something else and your face just happened to be there, won't fool anyone, so be proud to show off your lovely face. Be aware that some people find selfies annoying, and you might draw some negative comments. If your online albums end up full of selfies, you might want to consider diversifying. Be sure to leave the types of comments you want to see on other people's selfies. The more "likes" and shares you give others, the more you'll get. Selfies have really taken off in the past few years, and it's fun to participate in...

Article in English: Most people will either order fiddler crabs from a pet supplier or purchase them in a store. Before you set them loose in the aquarium or while you are setting it up, release your crabs into holding containers.  Use plastic pails or large dishes filled with brackish water as holding containers.  Avoid leaving your fiddler crabs in any shipping material. Release them into the holding containers and discard any shipping water.  Keep male and female fiddler crabs in separate holding containers if they arrived separately.  Cover the containers to keep your fiddlers from escaping. Once you’ve had a chance to remove the crabs from their shipping or arrival containers and set up your tank, it’s time to release them into their new home. Although you can initially release all of your fiddlers into the same tank, watch for aggressive behaviors that may indicate inability to live together. Be aware that although fiddler crabs often travel and feed in groups, that they can be aggressive with one another. This rarely results in injury, but you may want to consider separating fiddlers if one doesn’t allow another to move throughout the aquarium. Most crabs feed by “grazing” the sand in their habitats throughout the day. Watch for how much your crabs eat and increase food as necessary, though be careful to not overfeed them because this can make the tank smell offensive and like ammonia as well as muddle the water.  Add the following to your tank every day as food for your fiddlers: one brine shrimp or 2 plankton, a few fish flakes, place these only in the water. Change the food up every few days by adding 3 freeze dried blood worms, a few fish flakes, and a couple small pieces of seaweed. Be aware that seaweed will promote algae growth in the tank, which your fiddlers will eat. Recognize that it is not uncommon for fiddlers to eat rotting food. Fresh dechlorinated brackish water is key to maintaining a fiddler crab’s health. Add new water to the tank as you see it evaporating. If you notice an ammonia smell or murky water,...

Article in English: Most people with Down Syndrome learn more slowly, and children will not meet their milestones as quickly as their peers do. Speaking may or may not pose a challenge for an individual with Down Syndrome—it all depends on the person. Some learn sign language or another form of AAC before or instead of speaking.   People with Down Syndrome easily grasp new words and their vocabularies become more advanced as they mature. Your child will be much more capable at age 12 than at age 2. Because grammar rules are inconsistent and hard to explain, those with Down Syndrome may have difficulty mastering grammar. As a result, those with Down Syndrome usually use shorter sentences with less detail. Enunciation can be hard for them because their motor skills are impaired. Speaking clearly may also present a challenge. Many people with Down Syndrome benefit from speech therapy. Almost half of all children with Down Syndrome are born with heart defects. The most common defects are Atrioventricular Septal Defect (formally called Endocardial Cushion Defect), Ventricular Septal Defect, Persistent Ductus Arteriosus and Tetralogy of Fallot.  Difficulties occurring alongside heart defects include heart failure, difficulty breathing, and an inability to thrive during the newborn period.  While many infants are born with heart defects, some only show up 2-3 months after birth. For this reason, it is important for all newborns with Down Syndrome to get an echocardiogram within the first few months after birth. Those with Down Syndrome are more likely to have common ailments that affect vision and hearing. Not all people with Down Syndrome will need glasses or contacts, but many will be affected by either nearsightedness or farsightedness. In addition, 80% of people with Down Syndrome will have some type of hearing problem during their lifetime.  Those with Down Syndrome are more likely to need glasses or to have misaligned eyes (known as Strabismus).  Discharge or frequent tearing of the eyes is another common issue for those with...

Article in English: Most people with asthma will be more comfortable sitting and not standing or lying down. Keep the person upright to assist with lung expansion and ease of breathing. Let the person lean slightly forward onto you or a chair for support. Some asthmatics may sit in a "tripod" position by leaning forward with their hands on their knees to relieve pressure on their diaphragm.  Asthma is exacerbated by anxiety but it is not triggered by anxiety. This means that during an attack the individual will respond more rapidly when he is calm. Anxiety releases cortisol in the body which constricts the bronchioles, the passages by which air passes through the nose and/or mouth to the air sacs of the lungs.  It's important that you stay calm and reassuring as this can assist the person in maintaining calm. " Even if the person cannot verbally answer due to wheezing or coughing, he may nod or gesture towards his inhaler or an instruction card. Ask the person if he has a written asthma emergency action plan. Many individuals who are prepared for asthma attacks will carry a written emergency plan with them. If the person has one, take it out and help him follow the plan. Asthma is often exacerbated by specific triggers or allergens. Ask the individual if something in the immediate area might be triggering an attack and if the person communicates a response, try to remove the trigger or remove the person from the trigger if it is environmental (like pollen or weather-related).  Animals Smoke Pollen High humidity or cold weather Do this to keep the person calm and reassure him that you are working with him, not against him.  Women may keep their inhaler in their handbags and men in a pocket. Some asthmatics, especially children or the elderly, may have a clear plastic tube called a spacer that attaches to the inhaler. A spacer delivers the medicine into the mouth with less force, making it easier to inhale. Children and elderly people who suffer frequent asthma attacks may also carry nebulizers, which deliver asthma medication...

However, symptoms can include:  Shortness of breath Headaches Nosebleeds Blurred vision or seeing double Your doctor may feel that it is important for you to take medication while you recover from surgery. Because these can interact with other medications it is important that you discuss all medications with your doctor. This includes over-the-counter medications, supplements, and herbal remedies.

Article in English: Most people with pet dogs chose to keep them in the house with the family. If you do keep your dog outside, provide an insulated dog house, warm bedding for cold climates, shade for warm climates, food, and water (that won't freeze or stagnate). Never chain your dog, since this could cause leg or neck injuries. Don't keep your dog outside if he hasn't acclimated to weather extremes. It is considered negligence to keep a dog outside without proper shelter. If you can't shelter your dog correctly, keep him inside or don't get a dog in the first place. Depending on your dog’s breed, this could be anything from a 10-15 minute walk per day to a good hour romp in the park. A fun game of fetch or Frisbee can also be physically challenging to very active dogs. Playing or walking is a great chance for you to bond with your dog. Exercise and playing can cut back on bad behavior, like tearing things up around the house, inappropriate chewing, and aggression. It will also keep your dog’s weight down and his body healthy. Once he's gotten all his important first vaccinations, socialize him. This means carefully introducing him to people, other animals and dogs, and situations outside the immediate home environment. Getting used to riding in the car, walking around the neighborhood and dog parks are great ways to introduce him to people and other dogs. As long as the dog isn’t scared or threatened he will get used to these situations. The more unique social situations you expose your dog to when he's young, the better.

Article in English: Most people won't pull out a set of measuring cups or a food scale at a nice restaurant.  To keep you on track with portion sizes, have a guide on hand like this one from WebMD  Keep a copy of this guide in your wallet or purse.  Pull it out once your meal arrives and compare what you're served with and the appropriate portion size listed. Divide your plate by the "correct portion" size and "leftovers."  Ask to box the leftovers immediately so they're no longer a temptation. Do a little research before you head out to eat.  Knowing what options are available prior to ordering helps you stay away from temptations and stick to your smaller portion size.  Check out the menu and nutrition information online if available.  Choose 1-2 items that seem good and will fit into your small portion. Call ahead and see if they're able to half or smaller portions.  It can help you prepare for whether you will need to take home leftovers. Learning to leave a little bit of leftovers on your plate is a good habit to get into.  You can almost guarantee that restaurant portions are much larger than recommended.  Plan on having leftovers.  When you eat out, ask the waiter to box a quarter—or even half—of your meal before you get it. You'll have the perfect leftover portion for the next day. Ask your server if they have half or petite portions if it's difficult for you to leave items on your plate. Split an entrée with a friend or family member.  This is another good option if you have a hard time not finishing the whole portion.  If you split it, it's automatically portion controlled! This is a great way to manage portions.  Starters are usually smaller (and cheaper!) than entrées.  There's also a low risk of finishing "more than you should" which can happen with larger entrée sized meals.  Try tapas too!  Some restaurants serve tapas which are very small portions of dishes.  You can order 1-2 small tapas and overall still maintain a small portion size.  It's great for those who like to try a variety of dishes. If you don't order...

Article in English: Most people's expenses consist of housing, utilities, entertainment, clothing, food, travel, and medical care. Start by reviewing the checks you've written and your credit card statements for the last few months. Add up what you spent in the above categories and any others specific to you.  Credit card companies and online banks offer a feature that will summarize your spending for a given period of time, based on the names of the businesses where you spend money. If you don't use debit or credit cards, keep a careful accounting of your monthly expenses. For example, keep track of your food spending, both at the grocery store and at restaurants. After you have gathered this information compare the totals in each category. Do they seem reasonable, especially as percentages of your paycheck? Set a monthly target for how much money you should allocate to each category. See how to budget your money for more information.  Include a target for retirement savings, even if it's quite small to begin with. Start by saving at least 1% of your monthly income for retirement. Slowly increase that percentage over time. You'll find you can gradually adjust to that allocation. The more you save for retirement, the better your later years will be. (If you don't think that's important, talk with someone who is already retired.) Generally financial experts recommend spending less than 30% of your monthly income on housing.  In some locations, this may not be realistic. If that's the case where you live, it may be necessary to change neighborhoods.   In addition to saving for retirement, build up a savings account as an emergency fund. Set aside about six months' worth of living expenses in case you lose your job or become incapacitated. Once you have created your budget, you will see the areas in which you need to reduce spending. Find ways to save in those categories. Address your largest expenses first. For example, if your monthly rent is $900, and you spend $300 a month on food, you might consider finding a cheaper rental....

Article in English: Most people's eyebrows grow in a 3-4 month cycle, so hide your tweezers and get comfortable with the idea that your eyebrows might look a bit strange for several months. This is a fairly lengthy process and you're going to have to be patient.  Leave all those random looking baby hairs alone, even if they seem nowhere near your brow. If you have hairs that grow in odd directions or straight out, it could be due to damage from tweezing or waxing.  If the regrowth really bothers you, you can try taming them with brow gel or cover them with a little concealer. Most serums will prolong the first stage of hair growth, the anagen phase, which is when your hair is actively growing. This results in longer, fuller hair. Some will also stimulate more follicles to enter this stage so you actually grow more hair.  Most of these serums require daily (sometimes twice-daily) application, and don't provide a permanent boost in hair growth: you have to continuously use them to keep seeing results.  It usually takes a minimum six weeks of diligent use to start seeing results from a growth serum.  Look for products with prostaglandin, a hormone-like compound that occurs naturally in the body and can increase hair growth.  There is no guarantee that growth serums will work on everyone--sometimes hair follicles are damaged or made dormant by long-term tweezing, which makes it difficult to regrow hair. Like massage, exfoliation stimulates blood flow and can help your brows grow more quickly. Use a clean tooth brush. Scrub each brow, starting in the center of your forehead and working out towards the temples. Do this once a day.Do not use the same toothbrush that you use on your teeth. Keep a clean toothbrush for this purpose. You will still have hair that is growing not quite at your brow line, but don't start shaping or plucking them yet. Even at this point, your hair may still be growing back at unruly angles. Don't give up on these hairs--as your follicle becomes healthier and your hair goes through a few growth cycles, they...

Article in English: Most people’s critical thinking skills and creativity are strongest in the morning. However, they tend to decrease as the day progresses. If this is how you are, then schedule your “big thinking” activities, like writing, for instance, in the morning. However, maybe you do your most creative work at night. Neither time is wrong. It’s all about coming up with an effective timetable that suits you and your needs. If you’re like most, your energy has dissipated somewhat by the afternoon. If so, then this is a good time to do more boring, routine tasks. Things you don’t have to think much about basically. Think about spending this time of day for setting appointments, running errands, answering brief emails, etc. For many, evenings are good for planning and preparing for the next day. Your “get ready” tasks might include packing lunches, laying out your clothes, and spending time straightening up and de-cluttering. Choose to spend 30 minutes a day on writing that novel, organizing your garage or learning how to garden. Moving a little towards your goal each day will help you in developing the good habits to maintain it. This is because you’ll be on autopilot. Essentially anything you do on a regular basis, good or bad, eventually becomes a habit. How does it feel? Did you schedule your activities at times that made sense? Do you need to adjust things? Change anything that is not working on a case-by-case basis. You don’t have to wait until the end of the week or month. Adjust little by little every few days until it feels workable to you. You will also need to probably make big and small changes to it every month, as the only thing that’s certain in life is change.

Article in English: Most personal narratives use a first person narrator, the “I.” Using the first person will make it easier for you to write the essay from your perspective and your personal experiences. Tell the personal narrative in your voice using “I” so the reader gets a sense of your point of view. You may need to use a mixture of tenses throughout the narrative. For instance, the answer to the prompt or the narrative you discuss may be written in the present tense, while an anecdote or narration of a story may be written in the past tense, as it has already happened. Even though your essay is personal, it should still have a thesis statement. Your thesis statement should appear after the hook in the final sentence of the introduction (though there may be sentences between the hook and the thesis).  The thesis statement in a narrative essay can explore the events of the story in a brief way. Or it can tell the reader about the moral or lesson learned through the personal experience. You can also present the main theme in the essay in the thesis statement. For example, if you are writing an essay about your personal experience as a refugee, you may have a thesis statement that presents the theme of freedom. You may write, “My journey is just one of many. We all came to a new country carrying nothing more than hope and memories of the past.” Your personal essay should include a body section where you present supporting evidence for your thesis statement. The supporting evidence can be in the form of commentary that address the prompt as well as in the events of the story you are telling. Do this chronologically so it is easy for the reader to follow. Or use terms to frame time, such as “now,” “later,” or “then” if you decide to jump around in time when telling the story. For example, you may have three supporting body paragraphs where you tell your personal narrative based on the theme of your essay. You may start with your experience of “freedom” in your home country in the first paragraph, followed by your experience of...

Article in English: Most pieces of furniture will have a cleaning code on the tags under or inside the article. Looking for this code can provide you the recommended and safest way to clean velvet furniture items. In general, velvet is coded as “S,” which means that it requires cleaning with solvents or dry cleaning and will not react well with water. Call the manufacturer if you cannot locate the cleaning code. Most companies will have a database of furniture items and can provide you important information about the cleaning code and caring for the piece. Ask any questions you may have in the course of your call. If you are unsure about your velvet furniture’s code or the piece is an heirloom or has special meaning to you, take the safest route and hire a professional cleaner. It may cost you a bit more, but a professional cleaner has the training and know-how to most effectively and safely clean velvet items. Consider using a commercial dry cleaning kit for smaller household items such as pillow covers or duvets. Make sure to read the cleaning code and the kit information before you start any cleaning efforts. If you decide to spot clean your household velvet item, you should always vacuum it before you begin any washing efforts. Use your vacuum’s brush attachment and run it along the nap, which is the raised and fuzzy surface of fabrics like velvet. This will puff up the fabric and prepare it for cleaning. One of the most effective ways to remove a stain from a velvet household item is gently applying a solution of lemon juice and baking soda. These two potent ingredients can lift and remove any stains from your item. Mix two tablespoons of baking soda in a bowl filled with lemon juice. Stir the mixture until it form a good amount of foam, which is what you will use to clean the item. If you are cleaning larger objects, use a larger bowl or tub. Before you begin cleaning any stains or spots, or wash the entire item, it’s important to do a spot test. This can let you know if the mixture is too potent for your item. In this...

Article in English: Most plants can be only be planted outside during certain times of the year. The date will depend on what gardening zone you live in as well as the type of plant you have. Online is a great place to start, but seed packets and care tags often contain this information too. Stop fertilizing 2 weeks before the transplanting date. Reduce watering, but don't omit it. A week before the date, move the plant outside. Leave it outside for 1 hour on the first day, 2 hours on the second day, and so forth. Keep it out of direct wind and sunlight, and water it often during this week. Take the plant outside in the morning each day. You will leave it outside 1 hour longer every day. It would be even better if it is overcast or drizzling. Early morning is a good time, but early evening would be even better, because then your plants won't have to deal with the heat of the day while acclimating to their new home. Choose the area that you will be moving your plant into. Make sure that the area has enough sunlight/shade for your type of plant. Dig up any untilled soil, and replace it with gardening soil. For even better results, mix some compost into the soil. It would be best to buy the soil from the store. This way, you can ensure that it is pest, disease, and fungi free. Unless the pot is made out of peat or paper, you will be removing the plant from the pot and placing the root ball into the hole. It is difficult to tell how big the root ball is when the plant is still in the pot, however, but if you make the hole the same size as the pot, you can ensure a good fit. Place your hand over the top of the pot first, so that the plant is sticking out between your fingers. Carefully flip the pot upside down. If the plant doesn't slide into your hand, lightly tap the rim of the pot against a firm surface, like a table or bench. Do not grab the plant by the stem and pull it out. This can damage the plant. Instead, cut the sides of the pot so that the roots can reach the fresh soil sooner. It would be good idea to tear away the top...
