Article in English: The table of contents, in the beginning of the book, is one, big outline of the structure of the book. Take some time to internalize the structure of the book, as provided in the table of contents, before you move on to scanning the book. What you're doing is giving your brain a mold to fit little bits of pieces of information into. If you don't internalize the structure of the book and just start scanning, your brain has to piece together the structure of the theme by itself before it can begin organizing information. This takes time and mental effort. Eliminate that effort by studying the table of contents for 30 seconds before you start reading. A lot of the time, introductions will map out where the writing is going to go, while the ends of chapters often summarize what the author talked about over the course of the chapter. The beginnings of paragraphs will often give the reader a glimpse into topic sentences, which announce what the theme of the paragraph(s) is going to be about. After the topic sentence usually comes some form of evidence or justification. If done properly, reading just the topic sentence will let you know the theme of the paragraph without needing to process the evidence that comes with it. The ends of paragraphs will often be transitions to the topic sentences of the following paragraph. If you read the last sentence of the paragraph and then the first sentence of the next one, you're more likely to understand the topic sentence. Different kinds of books require different ways of scanning. A newspaper article is designed to be skimmed, while a math book is patently not. Before jumping into your speed-reading exercise, decide how much of the book you want to scan and whether you can save any time for more in-depth reading. Works of fiction are notoriously difficult to scan. You don't know how the book is going to turn out, and there's not really a "guide" within a table of contents. If you're reading a book of fiction, take a minute or two to read (not scan) a portion of the book that...

Article in English: The table should be large enough to fit the tea service, tableware, and food. If it is not large enough to also seat the guests, remove the chairs and host a buffet-style tea party where the guests help themselves. This is less formal than a seated tea party, and is most suitable for a light afternoon tea rather than an evening meal. Use your judgement when placing a buffet-style table: if space is a concern, move it against a wall. If you have plenty of room, consider placing it so the table is accessible from both sides, allowing more guests to access the food at one time. Using a clean, attractive tablecloth increases the sense of elegance and attention to detail. White linen is traditional, but you may use a tablecloth of any color or pattern. For a formal tea party, select napkins that match the tablecloth. Brew tea in several varieties for your guests, including at minimum one caffeinated black tea and one non-caffeinated herbal tea. Each variety of tea should be in its own teapot, preferably with the tea leaves removed or within a strainer so guests do not end up with tea leaves in their cups. You do not need to use a matching tea service or silver tray if you do not own them, but don't forget to provide all the essential tea additions:  A creamer, or small pitcher, containing milk A bowl of sugar containing sugar cubes and sugar tongs, or granulated white sugar and a small spoon A pitcher of hot water for people who prefer to dilute their tea  A tray of lemon slices for floating in tea, or thicker lemon wedges covered in gauze or other material to prevent spurting when squeezed Unless you have a small number of guests, you may wish to set up two stations for guests to serve themselves hot beverages. Coffee or hot cocoa is appreciated by some guests who do not enjoy tea, but if you know your guests are all tea-drinkers, you may simply provide a variety of tea options instead. Provide all the necessary tea additions on both ends of the table. If serving coffee, only sugar and cream are necessary at the...

Article in English: The tactics and logistics are necessary, and you may need to teach them if you are coaching beginners. Teach the rules. Your players cannot play well if they do not understand the rules of volleyball, and you risk losing points, not to mention games. Make sure your team knows what they can and cannot do, what gets them points and what results in penalties. Talk to your players supportively, and if you are coaching children, talk to parents openly so they know what is going on at practice. Keeping your communication positive rather than competitive will demonstrate that you have the best interests of the players in mind and provide a model of good sportsmanship. This is especially important if you are coaching kids. The Socratic method of coaching uses questions to get players to think critically on their own. This may be a slower method, but it yields better results. Ultimately, players need to make high-level decisions themselves when on the court. For example:  "Carl, what do you think you can do differently to make your serve stronger?" "OK, everyone, what do you think we're going to focus on in this drill?" Including players in decisions builds trust and encourages them to think critically about the game. For example, during a timeout you can ask the team for feedback on their opponents and suggestions for strategy. For example, "We need to . . ." Keep it pithy. You can easily lose your players' attention if you talk too much, too generally. Concentrate your verbal feedback on helping each player focus on what's important in the moment.

Article in English: The tag or label on your jacket should state the materials it is made from and their relative proportions. A jacket that is 100% nylon should be relatively easy to dye, but if it is made from a synthetic blend that includes other materials (such as polyester or acetate, for example), then it may be more difficult to get the dye to stay.]  Even if the jacket is made of a nylon blend, it will usually accept the dye if at least 60 percent of the jacket is made of nylon. Nylon blends are still dyeable as long as the other materials will also accept dye; examples include cotton, linen, silk, wool, ramie, and rayon.  Some nylon is treated or coated for durability or stain/water resistance; this can prevent the material from accepting dye, so check the jacket label for this information, as well. Even if your jacket is made of easily dyeable materials, its original color will significantly impact your coloring options. You should be able to dye a white or light grey jacket without much trouble, but if the jacket is another color then you might have some difficulty, especially if that color is already dark or intense.  A white or off-white jacket will be easiest to dye, but you might also be able to dye over a light pastel color like a baby blue, soft pink, or buttercup yellow. Be aware, however, that the current color will alter the final appearance of the dye. If you do attempt to dye a jacket that is already colored, make sure your dye is bright or dark in order to cover up the old color. Most standard chemical dyes can dye nylon, but you should make sure the one you choose will do this before you buy it. Most dyes will include information on the packaging about compatible materials; if you don't find this, check the manufacturer website.  Standard Rit dye works on both natural and synthetic fibers, but some brands have separate formulas for each type of material.  Always read the manufacturer’s instructions to verify that the procedure is doable for your particular jacket. If the manufacturer's instructions differ...

Article in English: The target of your joke has to be funny to your audience, or you'll be facing a stone-faced crowd. Don't plan to target high school girls if you're trying to make a room full of them laugh. Tread carefully if you're targeting a political or celebrity figure in his or her hometown. A joke that would be hilarious to one group of people might cause another group to start throwing rotten vegetables. Telling a long story that takes more than a minute or two will likely bore your audience. Practice telling shorter jokes so you can get a sense for how to best deliver them before you move on to telling full-blown stories. Remember that the best jokes aren't always the smartest, most detailed jokes; you've got to hit people in the funny bone.  Watch the people you're talking to. If you see their eyes start to wander, wrap up the joke. You can tell more than one joke in a row if the first one gets some laughs. Build on the energy you created. If you've got a big grin on your face when you're telling a joke, people will get distracted. Plus, smiling at your own joke sort of gives away the ending before you have a chance to get there. Instead, keep a straight face, make eye contact, and deliver the joke as if you were saying something as mundane as "I'm going to the store for a gallon of milk." Your delivery is as important to the humor of your joke as the content. After you deliver the setup of your joke, pause for a moment before giving the punch line. This gives people the chance to ponder and guess for a moment before you surprise them with your hilarious insight. Don't wait too long, though, or the energy of the joke will die.

Article in English: The task for this construction is to copy, or transfer, some given angle, using the rules of mathematical construction. Begin with your sample angle on a sheet of paper. You also need to have a blank space to draw the congruent angle.  For ease of reference, refer to the original angle as Angle ABC. Point B is the vertex of the angle. An angle is made up of two rays that join at the vertex. This angle is comprised of Ray BA and Ray BC. The first tool that you need for constructing a congruent angle is a compass. Compasses come in a variety of styles. Some very inexpensive ones have a simple slot for you to insert a pencil. Some more expensive and accurate compasses have a variety of lead or ink inserts that may be interchangeable. For a simple task like copying an angle, you can use just about any compass that you have available. The second tool you need is a straight edge. In fact, for the most genuine constructions, you should avoid using a ruler. According to the true sense of geometric construction, you should not rely on measurements. Therefore, you can use anything with a rigid straight edge. The pencil in your compass will be used to mark certain lengths, but you will also need a pencil, pen or marker for drawing straight lines.

Article in English: The teacher should be able to dance both lead and follow so he/she can teach you both how to do it and how it feels for your partner. Try to find a class that has a dozen or so people so you have a few partners to work with but still can seek individual attention. There are three types of tango: Argentine tango, International Ballroom tango, and the American Ballroom tango.  Argentine tango has become quite popular because of its free form, ad-lib steps and greater focus on the woman. Many amateur groups exist to teach and promote it. Whether you're in class or at a party, the tango generally happens in a circle. There are a couple things to know:  It moves counter-clockwise. You don't have to worry about turns, swivels, or anything fancy -- just know that you're moving counter-clockwise. Generally speaking, the better tango-ers take larger steps and dominate more space. The less-confident dances end up getting relegated to the center of the circle, all smushed in by the more audacious dancers. Don't let this happen to you! If you go alone, find a partner to have a "cabeceo" with. However, you don't ask; you simply make eye contact. If you meet eyes, you smile or nod. If they don't meet your gaze, move on. It's less intrusive and doesn't leave one party pressured to say yes. Generally, a round, or "tanda," is 4 dances. So if you're not sure you want to dance with this person for 4 dances, ask them on the 2nd or 3rd! . The tango requires balance and the willingness to learn. At first there will be a heck of a learning curve, but trust that it will go away. The steps will come. You'll step on a few toes, but they'll heal. If you keep with it, you'll only get better. The tango is not a dance that can be learned in one evening or with one lesson.  That is what makes the tango so much fun! There is so much to learn -- it can take you your whole lifetime to learn and understand the tango. But don't let that discourage you; let it intrigue you. When you've mastered it, you've mastered an art.

Article in English: The teepee starts by fashioning a simple tripod with three of your poles. Lay two both flat on the ground, right next to each other and lay another across them, creating an acute angle at the top of about 30 degrees. The two poles next to each other will be your corner poles, while the crossing pole will act as the "door pole." For an accurate measurement, lay out the canvas and assemble the poles on top. With the tops of the two base poles in the center of the canvas, pointing toward the center of the flat side, lay the other pole on top of it so the end on the curved side of the semicircle is about a 1/3 of the way down from the edge. That should be roughly a 30 degree angle. Use about six feet of your rope to tie the poles together using a clove hitch knot. You should have about five feet left on the short side and 40 feet (12.2 m) or so on the long side. Do not cut the rope. With the short end, wrap around the poles several times and then tie another clove hitch with the remaining rope. The rest of the rope will come in handy later. Keep it coiled and out of the way. In the location you'd like to set up your teepee, raise the poles from the jointed end by pulling the rope. Have helpers stand with their feet on the bottom end of the poles to keep them from dragging the tripod.  At this point, it should look more like a bipod. When it reaches its apex, separate the two base poles that were next to each other roughly 9 feet (2.7 m) from one another. They will be the "back" corners of the teepee, while the crossing pole will be the "door pole." It should not be, strictly speaking, symmetrical, but more of an isosceles triangle. The back corner poles should act as a cradle for the door pole, with about a foot more space from each corner pole to the door pole than between each corner pole. Make sure all the corners of the tripod are sturdy by pulling down on the rope while standing in the center of the tripod, directly under the joining point. Set aside your sturdiest pole to act as your "lift" pole. You'll add...

Article in English: The teeth most easily visible, and those which are most commonly used to age a horse, are the incisors. They are found at the front of the mouth and can be seen by peeling the upper lip up, and the lower lip down. The incisors are used to shear grass, which is then passed to the back of the mouth by the tongue, to be chewed by the molars. There is a gap between the incisors and the molars, called the diastema. In this gap, some horses grow extra teeth called "wolf" teeth (actually the first premolar), but these teeth are usually extracted between 2-5 years of age because they interfere with the bit, and they are therefore not relevant to aging. The horse has 6 incisors in the lower jaw and 6 in the upper jaw. The two middle incisors are called the "central" incisors, and moving outwards there is the "intermediate" and then "corner" incisors (which are the incisors in front of the diastema). The horse also has six upper and six lower cheek teeth on each side. These are grinding teeth and are used for chewing. They are difficult to see at the back of the mouth and play no major role in aging a horse. Aging a horse is not straightforward and every clue helps. As well as looking at the teeth, look at the horse itself to gain a general picture as to whether it is a youngster who still has some growing to do, an adult in its prime, or a rickety old nag in its golden years. Look at the horse as you approach, stand back even and appraise him. Does he look sprightly and young, doddery and old, or is he a leggy colt with growing still to do? Take your time and don't feel pressured. It helps to have a notebook to record what you see. There are a lot of factors to consider and it's easy to forget one or two.  To avoid this, perhaps jot a list down of the things you need to inspect in the horse's mouth, and then note beside each what you saw. This allows you to sit down later and draw all the jigsaw pieces together. When preparing to examine the horse's teeth, have the horse restrained in a halter, so you have good access...

Article in English: The temperature in the room should be  slightly cooler than what is comfortable for you. A slight drop in temperature induces sleep. This will really help. Do not let yourself get too cold, however, most especially your feet; cold feet can be disruptive to sleep. It is best to put on some socks. You may wake up and remove the socks in the middle of the night, but that is better than letting cold feet keep you awake. It can take several hours for your body temperature to cool down after exercise or exposure to excessive heat, so try to ensure that your body is at normal temperature when you get ready to go to sleep.

Article in English: The temperature will often determine the best time to take your dog walking. Earlier in the day or later in the evening are suitable times of day to walk your dog. Avoid high noon as the pavement may be too hot for your dog’s feet. The best way to test if it is too hot is to place your bare hand on the pavement. If after only five seconds you have to remove your hand then chances are it is too hot. Along with poop bags and your clicker, carry a portable bowl and a bottle of water for your pet. Keeping your dog hydrated is important when walking for longer periods of time or during the hotter times of day. During summer months, it is extra important that your dog has plenty of water.  Healthy and easy snacks to carry include:  Strawberries Seedless watermelon Apple slices Blueberries Carrots Crushed ice for the hotter days Don’t overdo it when getting your dog used to walking with you, especially if this is the first time on a collar and leash. There will be a lot of pulling and resistance which may wear the little one out. Find a shady spot to rest for a couple of minutes along the walk.

Article in English: The temptation when you rescue an emaciated, or very thin, horse is to feed her a lot to help him regain weight. However, this is not as simple as it sounds because suddenly providing an abundance of food causes digestive problems and is likely to trigger potentially serious health issues such as colic or laminitis. Weight gain has to be mapped out over several months. It must be done carefully and methodically. The ideal food for helping the horse regain weight is forage (good quality hay) and the amount you feed the horse should be the amount recommended for her current body weight, plus 10 or 15%.  Use a measuring tape to assess the horse’s current weight, and cross reference this with a body weight-based feeding chart. If you are concerned that you are not feeding the horse the right amount, talk to a vet. After a period of starvation, the horse’s stomach will need to repopulate the good bacteria that aids digestion. Feeding the horse a large meal will put a lot of pressure on the horse’s stomach that could lead to digestion problems. Rather than giving the horse her allotted amount of feed all at once, space the amount of feed you give her out over the course of the day. This will keep the horse from gorging herself. Forage, or good quality hay, is the ideal food for a horse in the initial stages of rehabilitation because it is high in fiber, takes time to chew, and it difficult to bolt down. Bolting a lot of feed quickly can lead to choke, or a blockage of partially chewed, dry food in the esophagus.  Alfalfa hay is high in protein and low in carbohydrates, which can help to keep the horse energized. If the horse is eating hay well, increase her daily ration by about one flake a day, and after a week of eating well, consider allowing her free access to hay. Some horses won't eat hay; if this is the case with your horse, try hay cubes or roughage chunks. These can trick the horse into thinking she is eating a concentrate, which will make her more likely to eat. If the horse if having trouble eating...

Article in English: The tension in a given strand of string or rope is a result of the forces pulling on the rope from either end. As a reminder, force = mass × acceleration. Assuming the rope is stretched tightly, any change in acceleration or mass in objects the rope is supporting will cause a change in tension in the rope. Don't forget the constant acceleration due to gravity - even if a system is at rest, its components are subject to this force. We can think of a tension in a given rope as T = (m × g) + (m × a), where "g" is the acceleration due to gravity of any objects the rope is supporting and "a" is any other acceleration on any objects the rope is supporting.  For the purposes of most physics problems, we assume ideal strings - in other words, that our rope, cable, etc. is thin, massless, and can't be stretched or broken. As an example, let's consider a system where a weight hangs from a wooden beam via a single rope (see picture). Neither the weight nor the rope are moving - the entire system is at rest. Because of this, we know that, for the weight to be held in equilibrium, the tension force must equal the force of gravity on the weight. In other words, Tension (Ft) = Force of gravity (Fg) = m × g. Assuming a 10 kg weight, then, the tension force is 10 kg × 9.8 m/s2 = 98 Newtons. Gravity isn't the only force that can affect the tension in a rope - so can any force related to acceleration of an object the rope is attached to. If, for instance, a suspended object is being accelerated by a force on the rope or cable, the acceleration force (mass × acceleration) is added to the tension caused by the weight of the object. Let's say that, in our example of the 10 kg weight suspended by a rope, that, instead of being fixed to a wooden beam, the rope is actually being used to pull the weight upwards at an acceleration of 1 m/s2. In this case, we must account for the acceleration on the weight as well as the force of gravity by solving as follows:  Ft = Fg + m × a Ft = 98 + 10 kg × 1 m/s2  Ft = 108 Newtons. An object being...

Article in English: The term "ergo" can be defined to mean "as a result" or "for that reason."  Similar words include "therefore," "hence," "consequently," "so," "thus," and "accordingly." You can use "ergo" when describing the relationship between a cause and an effect.  Example: I love reading; ergo, I have a large library at home. It can also be described as an adverbial conjunction. The two parts of speech are interchangeable and essentially describe words that share properties of both adverbs and conjunctions.  An adverb is a term that modifies a verb or an adjective. A conjunction word that is used to connect two sentences, clauses, or ideas. A conjunctive adverb is a word that modifies the verb of an independent clause in a way that demonstrates a connection to another independent clause.  Example: I love reading; ergo, I have a large library at home. In this sentence, "ergo" modifies the verb "have" in the independent clause, “I have a large library at home.” It also connects the clause beginning with "I have" to the independent clause, "I love reading," and indicates that the latter is a result of the former. While you can use "ergo" and may hear or read it on occasion, the term is generally considered an archaic one, meaning that is "dated" and no longer a common term in modern English.  This does not mean that you cannot use the term "ergo." It does, however, mean that you should be cautious about using it. Using it too often can seem forced, pretentious, or unnatural. Since there are other terms that can be used in the same way, like "therefore," you may want to ask yourself if "ergo" is the best choice before you use it. In spite of the fact that it is an archaic term, "ergo" is still used more often than many archaic terms, which does grant it some form of modern relevancy.  Example: Instead of saying, “I love reading; ergo, I have a large library at home,” consider saying, “I love reading; therefore, I have a large library at home.”

Article in English: The term "population" refers to the total set of relevant observations. For example, if you're studying the age of Texas residents, your population would include the age of every single Texas resident. You would normally create a spreadsheet for a large data set like that, but here's a smaller example data set:  Example: There are exactly six fish tanks in a room of the aquarium. The six tanks contain the following numbers of fish:x1=5{\displaystyle x_{1}=5}x2=5{\displaystyle x_{2}=5}x3=8{\displaystyle x_{3}=8}x4=12{\displaystyle x_{4}=12}x5=15{\displaystyle x_{5}=15}x6=18{\displaystyle x_{6}=18} Since a population contains all the data you need, this formula gives you the exact variance of the population. In order to distinguish it from sample variance (which is only an estimate), statisticians use different variables:  σ2{\displaystyle ^{2}} = (∑(xi{\displaystyle x_{i}} - μ)2{\displaystyle ^{2}})/n  σ2{\displaystyle ^{2}} = population variance. This is a lower-case sigma, squared. Variance is measured in squared units.  xi{\displaystyle x_{i}} represents a term in your data set. The terms inside ∑ will be calculated for each value of xi{\displaystyle x_{i}}, then summed. μ is the population mean n is the number of data points in the population When analyzing a population, the symbol μ ("mu") represents the arithmetic mean. To find the mean, add all the data points together, then divide by the number of data points.  You can think of the mean as the "average," but be careful, as that word has multiple definitions in mathematics.  Example: mean = μ = 5+5+8+12+15+186{\displaystyle {\frac {5+5+8+12+15+18}{6}}} = 10.5 Data points close to the mean will result in a difference closer to zero. Repeat the subtraction problem for each data point, and you might start to get a sense of how spread out the data is.  Example:x1{\displaystyle x_{1}} - μ = 5 - 10.5 = -5.5x2{\displaystyle x_{2}} - μ = 5 - 10.5 = -5.5x3{\displaystyle x_{3}} - μ = 8 - 10.5 = -2.5x4{\displaystyle x_{4}} - μ = 12 - 10.5 = 1.5x5{\displaystyle...

Article in English: The term "pre-filled vaccine syringes", in this case, is not referring to influenza vaccine syringes specifically manufactured as individual doses by the vaccine manufacturer, and, instead, refers to multiple, individual dose syringes filled from either single-dose or multi-dose vials before patients arrive at the clinic. If you are running a flu-shot clinic, try not to use pre-filled vaccine syringes. This can help avoid administration errors. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) suggests that the person who administers the vaccine should be the one who draws it from the vial. Before administering the vaccine, you want to take several precautionary measures with the patient, including ensuring that he hasn't already had his annual vaccination. This can help ensure that the patient isn’t overexposed to the virus or has a history of bad reactions to the vaccine.  Always inquire about allergies to avoid giving a medication to a patient with previous reactions.  If the patient is unclear, request formal medical record.  Always use two step identification process asking patient name and date of birth to ensure right patient it receiving the injection.    Get a copy of the patient’s medical history.  This can prevent medical errors.  Ask the patient if he’s had a history of bad reactions to the flu shot. Fever, dizziness or muscle pain may are common side effects of receiving the flu shot and should go away with time. Signs of severe allergy can include difficulty breathing, hives, wheezing, weakness and dizziness or heart palpitations.  These symptoms are serious and should be evaluated immediately.  The Flublok influenza vaccine may be a good option for those people who have had allergic reactions in the past. It is prepared without the use of eggs, which can sometimes be the cause of an allergic reaction. It also does not use the actual flu virus itself to create a vaccine.

Article in English: The term gourami refers to an entire family of fish, including over 90 species. While many of the gourami species and varieties popular among aquarium hobbyists can be bred in the same conditions, this does not apply to every species. Ask an experienced fish breeder or biologist to examine your gouramis if you do not remember the name they were sold under.  This guide is accurate for dwarf gouramis, pearl gouramis, kissing gouramis, blue (three spot) gouramis, and honey gouramis. Note that kissing gouramis may be more difficult to breed than the others, and require a larger tank. True gouramis and chocolate gouramis are especially difficult to care for and breed, and the process is not covered in this article. The chocolate gourami, and some other species, care for the eggs in a parent's mouth.  If your gouramis do not belong to the species listed above, or if you are not certain of the species, you may still use this guide, but you may have a lower success rate or encounter unexpected difficulties. Animal food such as blood worms, mosquito larvae, and adult brine shrimp provide adult fish with the nutrients necessary for breeding. You can purchase this in live or frozen form from an aquarium store. Supplement the dry food diet with this food several times a week. Gathering this type of food on your own increases the risk of passing on diseases to your fish, and is not recommended without the advice of a local expert. Adult, female gouramis may swell or change color on their underside, as they produce eggs within their bodies. Male gouramis may become more brightly colored if their diet improves, an indicator of good health and suitability for breeding. Try to find one male and one female that display these characteristics, and have no visible defects. It may be easier to notice the change in size looking down from above. If the females have noticeably changed shape as they laid eggs, or became "gravid," you may already know which gouramis are female and which are male. Some are relatively easy to identify at...

Article in English: The term “energy drink” refers broadly to beverages that contain a mix of ingredients (almost always including caffeine) that are intended to provide a burst of energy, alertness, and focus.  Beyond that, there exists a wide range of products that fit into the category, from soda-like canned drinks to small liquid “shots” to powdered mixes.  Setting a blanket limit on how many energy drinks you should have per day is therefore quite difficult. For the most popular, mass-marketed energy drinks out there, a limit of two servings per day seems reasonably safe for most healthy adults.  For non-concentrated liquid energy drinks (like Red Bull, Monster, Rockstar, etc.), this equates to about 16 ounces (500 ml) per day.  Consider this to be an upper limit, though, and use energy drinks as little as possible as your safest choice. In cases where episodes of cardiac arrest or other dangerous health events have occurred, energy drink consumption has often been paired with athletic practice or games or similar vigorous exercise.  Some athletes like the “boost” of energy and focus the drinks seem to provide, but the caffeine and other ingredients compound many of the physical changes (increased heart rate, for instance) that already take place when you exert yourself.  Especially for people with existing cardiac conditions, either diagnosed or undiagnosed (as is often the case with children or young adults), the pairing of energy drinks and vigorous physical activity may possibly cause irregular cardiac activity, such as atrial fibrillation or even sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS).  Such negative events are quite rare, but the risk is probably still much greater than the reward, especially since simply exercising will supply you with an ample dose of energy and focus. It should perhaps come as no surprise that the increasing popularity of energy drinks has led to the development of mixed alcoholic drinks that use Red Bull, etc.  Some people contend that the energy drinks help counteract the intoxicating effects of...

Article in English: The term “mindfulness” refers to a practice of making a gentle effort to be present in whatever you are currently doing. In this case, this means making an effort to think about the exercise as you are doing it. Think about the way the breath feels as you inhale and exhale. Although your mind will very likely wander to other thoughts, worries, and/or other things you have to get done, just do your best to come back to the present when you notice that it has wandered. Don’t get mad at yourself when this happens. This will be different for everyone. If you find that you are comfortable sitting cross-legged on the floor, do that. If you want to lay down or even stand up, that is fine too. Make sure your clothes are comfortable, and that you are sitting with good posture.  Inhale through your nose. Do this as you normally would, don’t make it deeper or more shallow.  Exhale slowly. Instead of out your nose, exhale out of your mouth as much as you can. Try to get all of the air out of your lungs. Breathe in through your nose. You will find this very refreshing as their was no air in your lungs, but try to breathe normally. Don’t take a very deep breath, but instead take a breath as you normally would.  Repeat the process of inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth. Do this as many times as you like. It will help refresh you and make you more alert. However, if you feel dizzy, try taking a break or making your exhalations slower. In Eastern medicine it is believed that breathing low in the belly is better than using the shoulders to breathe.  Lie down on your back. Once you get the hang of it, you will be able to do this no matter whether you are sitting, laying down, or standing. However, it’s good to start in this position so you know how it should feel. Rest one of your hands low on your belly, beneath your belly button with a flat, open hand. Take a few normal breaths to relax.  Take a deep breath, and then forcefully exhale. The point here is to try and push your hand up with your belly during...

Article in English: The terms "sine," "cosine," and "tangent" all refer to various ratios between the angles and/or sides of a right triangle.  In a right triangle, the sine of an angle is defined as the length of the side opposite the angle divided by the hypotenuse of the triangle.  The abbreviation for sine found in equations and on calculators is sin. Even a basic scientific calculator will have a sine function.  Look for a key marked sin.  To find the sine of angle, you will usually press the sin key and then enter the angle measurement in degrees.  On some calculators, however, you must enter the degree measurement first and then the sin key.  You will have to experiment with your calculator or check the manual to find out which it is.  To find the sine of an 80 degree angle, you will either need to key in sin 80 followed by the equal sign or enter key, or 80 sin. (The answer is -0.9939.) You can also type in "sine calculator" into a web search, and find a number of easy-to-use calculators that will remove any guesswork. The Law of Sines is a useful tool for solving triangles.  In particular, it can help you find the hypotenuse of a right triangle if you know the length of one side, and the measure of one other angle in addition to the right angle.  For any triangle with sides a, b, and c, and angles A, B, and C, the Law of Sines states that a / sin A = b / sin B = c / sin C. The Law of Sines can actually be used to solve any triangle, but only a right triangle will have a hypotenuse. The hypotenuse (longest side) must be "c".  For the sake of simplicity, label the side with the known length as "a," and the other "b".  Then assign variables A, B, and C to the angles of the triangle.  The right angle opposite the hypotenuse will be "C".  The angle opposite side "a" is angle "A," and the angle opposite side "b" is "B". Because it is a right angle, you already know that C = 90 degrees, and you also know the measure of A or B.  Since the internal degree measurement of a triangle must always equal 180 degrees, you can easily...

Article in English: The test above isn't the only way to determine whether the ignition coil in your vehicle is functioning as it should. If you have access to a piece of electrical equipment called an ohmmeter, which measures electrical resistance, you can measure the effectiveness of your ignition coil in a definitive, quantifiable way, rather than in the somewhat subjective way described above. However, to begin this test, you'll need to remove the vehicle's ignition coil so that you can easily access its electrical terminals. Refer to your service manual for precise instructions on removing your ignition coil. Usually, you'll need to disconnect it from the distributor wire, then unscrew it from its mounting with a wrench. Ensure your vehicle is turned off and has had a chance to cool before beginning this process. Every vehicle's ignition coil has its own unique specifications in terms of the electrical resistance within the coil. If your coil's actual resistance levels fall outside of these specifications, you'll know that your coil is damaged. Usually, you'll be able to find the resistance specifications unique to your vehicle by consulting your service manual. However, if you can't find it here, you may find success by contacting your dealership or by searching online vehicular resources. Generally speaking, most automotive coils will have a resistance reading of about .7 - 1.7 ohms for the primary winding and 7,500 - 10,500 ohms for the secondary winding. The distributor will have three electrical contacts - two on either side and one in the middle. These may be either external (jutting out) or internal (sunken in) - it makes no difference. Turn on your ohmmeter and touch one lead to each of the outer electrical contacts. Record the resistance reading - this is the resistance of the coil's primary winding. Note that some newer models of ignition coil have contact configurations that differ from this traditional arrangement. Consult your vehicle's manual for information if you are unsure which contacts correspond to the...

Article in English: The tests for coronavirus are currently not being distributed to hospitals or individual healthcare providers. If your doctor determines that you meet the criteria for testing, they will contact your local health department and will give you further instructions on when and where you should go for testing.  Be sure to arrive at the lab at the specified time. Unless otherwise directed by your doctor, there are no special pre-test instructions you have to follow. The primary tests for coronavirus are nasopharyngeal (nose) and oropharyngeal (throat) swabs. During these tests, try to hold as still as possible while the technician uses a swab to collect samples from both areas. While you might experience some discomfort, the test shouldn't be painful. The technician will have to hold the swabs at the back of your nose and throat for 5-10 seconds, which may feel slightly uncomfortable. If you have a productive cough, the lab may request a sputum sample. To provide this sample, first you'll rinse out your mouth with water, then you'll cough up a sample into a sterile collection cup. In rare cases, such as if you're experiencing severe respiratory distress, you may have a saline solution sprayed into your lungs in order to obtain a sputum sample. However, this is not common for people with only mild symptoms. Once you've provided the appropriate samples, the laboratory will package and ship your sample to the CDC or an approved lab overnight. The sample will then be tested, and you will be notified as soon as the results are available. The original lab may do initial testing to rule out another respiratory illness. If they determine you do have another condition, they may rule out coronavirus immediately, although these guidelines may change as more is learned about the disease. There's currently no treatment or cure for coronavirus. However, your doctor may recommend treatments to help relieve your symptoms and prevent them from getting worse, so be sure to follow their recommendations closely. If your symptoms...

Article in English: The text tool will create text on a new layer. Begin selecting the text tool and then drawing your text box in much the same way the marquee tool is used. It will be easiest to create a new text box/text layer for each line of text you intend to use, as this will allow you better control over the alignment and space between lines. Choose your font, either from the Text menu or the options listed at the top of the window. Remember to choose a font which is appropriate for the image as well as the content of the text. You can change the size of the font using the text options at the top as well. You can convert the text to a path, if you wish to further distort the shape and size of the text. This will make each individual letter into a contained shape. Keep in mind that this can only be undone using the history menu. To convert the text to a path, right-click the layer on which it appears and select “convert to shape”. You can from there choose the direct selection tool to make many different changes to the objects you have created.

Article in English: The thesis statement is the main idea of your paper. You want to cover your basic argument to let your readers know what you plan to argue. For a literary analysis, you should connect the main idea or theme of the work to a specific way the author shows it. For example, you might write, "In 1984, Orwell's use of imagery to establish a bleak and dreary world is key to bringing home his theme that totalitarianism is something to be avoided at all costs." How you organize your essay is up to you. One typical method is to go through the book in order, providing your evidence starting at the beginning of the book and moving towards the end.  Alternatively, it may make sense to you to begin with a historical introduction to the work to provide context. Another method is to present your most important part of the argument first and work down from there. Write down a Roman numeral for each main idea you want to cover in your essay, as well as your introduction and conclusion. Next to the Roman numeral, jot down that main idea in a shortened form. For instance, you might write:  I. Introduction II. Provide background information and historical context for 1984  III. Introduce the author's main theme IV. Establish how imagery helps create the theme V. Conclusion Under each Roman numeral, use letters and then Arabic numerals to go into more detail about what you want to cover in each section. You can be very specific or just cover the basics. However, the more specific you are, the easier it will be to write your essay. Your detailed outline might look something like this:  I. Introduction  A. Introduce work, including author, title, and date B. Thesis: In 1984, Orwell's use of imagery to establish a bleak and dreary world is key to bringing home his theme that totalitarianism is something to be avoided at all costs.   II.

Article in English: The thin skin around each peanut isn't harmful — in fact, some people prefer leaving it on to eating "naked" nuts. However, if you wish, you can remove the skins easily with a salad spinner. Roll the roasted peanuts in your hands over an open salad spinner, letting them gradually fall out and into the device. Once you've rolled all of the peanuts, close the spinner and run it until most (if not all) of the skins have been separated. You may need to peel a few skins off by hand. Here's another method for skinning peanuts: first, place the roasted peanuts in a jar or container and shake them or wrap them in a clean dish towel and rub them. Pour the peanuts out, then take the jar, container, or towel outside and let the wind blow away the loose skins. You only need a little seasoning to make natural, roasted peanuts even more delicious. There's no "right answer" here, but just a few seasoning suggestions are included below:  A light dusting of brown sugar and cinnamon makes a delicious sweet treat. Combining Cajun seasoning mix with a little salt makes for intensely flavorful peanuts. Cayenne powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika can give you red-hot Southwestern-style peanuts. Liquid flavorings can be used as glazes to give the peanuts intense, alluring flavors. However, for best results, these should be applied before the roasting process. Paint the prepared peanuts with a thin layer of your glaze and roast them as normal to give them the glaze's flavor. Since you're using liquid ingredients here, lining your pan with foil or baking paper is a wise idea. Here, again, there are hundreds of possibilities. One easy classic example is honey-roasted peanuts. To make the glaze, just combine equal parts honey and melted butter and stir until uniform. About two tablespoons of each ingredient should be enough for a pound of peanuts. Paint the peanuts with the glaze and sprinkle with salt before they go into the oven. Roast as normal. Believe it or not, making all-natural peanut butter from (shelled) peanuts is as...

Article in English: The thing is, if you build up a girl’s feeling of worth in a particular feature, in most cases that feature is going to go away over time and she’ll end up feeling worthless because it’s gone. So avoid complimenting butt, legs, etc. Eyes and hair, or clothes, are a safer bet. Complimenting on physical features works even better if you tie the compliment to her personality or actions. For example, tell her that her eyes are beautiful and that you love how her determination shines through her eyes when she’s working so hard. This is the biggest no-no when it comes to complimenting girls. You will obviously see girls you don’t know that you’re very attracted to, and you may think that paying them a compliment is just a nice thing to do, but if you don’t know the girl then a sexualized comment is just going to take your chances down into the negatives, while also making you seem creepy.  For example, telling her she fills out that shirt nicely. Sexualized compliments generally only work with girls you are dating or have another very close relationship with. You should compliment her because you mean it and you want to let her know how special she is to you. You should compliment her because you want her to be happy. You should absolutely not compliment her because you want shallow physical contact. There are some compliments which you might perceive as being flattering but are actually insults. Before you give yourself a serious case of foot in mouth, consider what you’re wanting to say and how it could be taken out of context.  If there’s anything in your compliment about her losing weight, stop. This can easily be taken the wrong way. Instead, compliment her by telling her how healthy she looks, tell her that she’s just glowing, etc. Don’t compare her to your sister or mother in any way, unless there is a circumstance where this would be a very good thing. Generally if you want to have a romantic relationship with her, it’s not. Any comments that end in “today” (ex. “You look so nice today”). She may believe...

Article in English: The thing she wants most is to tell you exactly how she feels, if she doesn't just want to be left alone. So, let her cry, let her talk, let her kick her furniture if she has to. Don't get in her way and try to pose concrete solutions, ask a million questions, or get in the way of her just letting you know what's going on. If she just got upset, then it's likely she hasn't processed the situation yet.  Don't try to jump in and offer a million solutions at first. When she wants your advice, she will ask for it. But for now, focus on just letting her let it all out. You may think you know exactly what to do, but this is not the moment to just jump in. If the girl is upset, then she wants you to listen more than anything else. She's not looking to hear your twenty most important thoughts on the matter and wants a kind ear instead. So, let her talk without interrupting to ask questions or give your opinion, make eye contact, and contribute little comments like, "I can't imagine how hard that is for you..." to let her know you really care. Let her finish and don't cut her off.  You can nod and show her that you really care, but don't nod too eagerly or she'll think you're rushing her or faking it. Avoid distractions. Put away your phone, keep your focus on her, and don't look around the room. Don't make her think you have somewhere else to be. If you want to make the girl feel better, then the worst thing you can say are things like, "It's not the end of the world" or "It's going to be okay." Sure, you may be able to see that she's upset about something that isn't that big of a deal, like a failed test grade, or a break-up with a loser she was only dating for a few weeks, but you can't let her know that, or she'll just feel worse. In the moment, she just wants to be upset and to talk about her feelings, not to be told that they aren't a big deal.  You may think that you're helping her by putting things in perspective, but you'll only be making her feel worse for feeling upset, and she may turn on you. She wants...

Article in English: The things discussed above come first - relationships, studies, and extracurricular activities. A job is not worth sacrificing any of those aspects of your teen years, and it is very hard to juggle a lot of different responsibilities with a job. On the other hand, if you feel you can manage to fit in a part-time job with your other activities, getting a job will help show your parents that you are responsible, and can give you money to save or buy things that your parents can't spare the money for. Some common teenage jobs include:   Babysitting. If you have little siblings, you can babysit them. If not, set signs over houses where anybody under 12 lives. You can usually make pretty good money babysitting, and this is a good weekend job that still lets you study or call friends on the phone once the children have gone to bed.      Pet sitting. If you don't feel comfortable being responsible for another person, a pet might be a way to start. Talk to your neighbors and family friends with pets, and let them know that you'd be happy to watch the pets when they go on vacation. The beauty of this job is that it will usually be periodic rather than every day. If you live in the country, don't forget that farmer neighbors might jump at the opportunity of the chance to take a little time off for a break knowing you're caring for their farm and animals.      Tutoring. If there's a subject that you excel at, you can make money teaching it to others. Post signs around town with your contact information, talk to your friends and their younger siblings or ask your old teacher(s) if s/he can recommend you to parents of struggling children.

Article in English: The things you say to the guy, or even the things you talk about when you're not around the guy, can be a big indication of whether or not you have a crush on the guy. Here's how to know if the things you say mean that you have a serious crush:  If you find yourself always teasing the guy. If you always end up poking fun at the guy without meaning to, it means you have a crush. If you talk really fast or stutter when you say anything to the guy, it means you have a crush. If you're careful about not saying anything that might make you look like a ditz or dumb in front of the guy, then you have a crush. And if you feel like everything you say to him does make you sound like a ditz, then you probably have a crush. If you can't talk to one of your friends for more than ten minutes without mentioning the guy, then you have a crush. If you have a crush, your friends may be able to pick up on it before you do. You can learn a lot about whether or not you have a crush on the guy based on how you act around him, or even how you act when he's miles away. Here are a few ways to know if your actions mean you've been bitten by the crush bug:  If you go out of your way to hang out with him, then you have a crush on him. If you've never watched baseball in your life but are suddenly going to all the school games because you know he'll be sitting in the bleachers, then you have a crush. If you want to be near him whenever you do hang out. If you find yourself drifting toward him when you're in a group of friends, or even touching him in a playful way whenever you can, then you have a crush. If you can't stand being around him when he's flirting with other girls, then you have a crush. If your heart falls when you show up to a place where you thought he'd be and he isn't there, then you have a crush. It may not be a coincidence that you're suddenly spending twice as much time in front of the mirror whenever you know you'll see the guy. Here's how to know if your grooming habits and attention to your looks say that you have a...

Article in English: The thoughts that we think soon turn into the words we say and the actions we take. Having good thoughts about yourself gives you self-confidence  and self-respect: hallmarks of any good personality. Once you become aware of your own thoughts, the process of guiding them in the right direction through positive thoughts will become effortless. We often come across opportunities in our day-to-day life to express our personality. Do it! Don’t try to fall in line with the crowd. Having a good personality doesn’t mean that you are like everyone else. For example, if you are in a conversation with a group or an individual, try not to just constantly agree with everything that they say. Insert your own opinions and stories in a respectful and engaging way.  Always act like yourself. People are drawn to others who act real. If you are putting on a front, it will be easy to tell. In order to be your true self around others, you’ll have to allow yourself to be vulnerable. This means being willing to open up to others about your fears, desires, strengths, and weaknesses. It’s easy to get down on the parts of your personality that you need to work on. Try to avoid that. Pay attention to the parts of your personality that you think appeal to other people and try to showcase those.

Article in English: The thread guides are the metal devices that help regulate tension. They are various loops that you run the thread through before looping it into your needle. They keep the thread from getting tangled and distribute the tension evenly from the spool to your fabric. Tension is what keeps your bottom and top stitches in equal tension with one another. In other words, it is what keeps your front and back stitches looking the same. Both the top and bottom tension must work together in order to create consistent stitching. If your top and bottom stitches aren’t even, it may be due to your tension not being right on the top or bottom. Most domestic sewing machines are of the "lockstitch" variety. That means an upper thread and a lower thread "lock" together. When they don’t “lock” together properly, you could have an issue with the tension.

If you want the thread to blend in with the fabric, then choose a thread color that matches the color of the fabric. If you want the thread to stand out, choose something that will complement or contrast with the fabric.  For example, if you are making light blue handkerchiefs and want the thread to blend in then the opt for a light blue thread. If you are making red print napkins and want the thread to contrast with your fabric, then opt for white or black thread. your handkerchief to add another decorative element. If you would like, you can embroider the finished handkerchief with initials or another design. If you have a sewing machine with an embroidery setting, then you can use it to embroider a design onto the handkerchief. Or, you can also hand embroider your handkerchief.  Try embroidering initials onto the corner or center of the handkerchief for a personal touch. Add an embroidered flower to a corner or the center of the handkerchief for a pretty touch. Include an embroidered edge for a decorative finish.

Article in English: The three C’s of life are blatantly true: Choices. Chances. Changes. You have to be the one that makes a choice to take a chance, or your life will never change. Only you have that power. And it’s yours to do with as you please. Everyone else has the same choice. Living life on your own terms starts with the knowledge that you can do just that (i.e. live life on your own terms), if you so choose Everything you see around you in day-to-day life, and every person you frequently make contact with is there because of a choice you made. If you don’t like how your life is, make the choice to change it. Now. When you are steadily requiring guidance from those around you, you give up control of how your life plays out. This can translate to letting others make decisions for you, depending on others for financial help, or waiting on them before you make a move. Always maintain control of your life. Even when you ask for others’ advice, thoughtfully consider their suggestions, but always be the one  who makes the final decision. Who you are as a person, what kind of people you surround yourself with, what you do for a living, what you are passionate about: all of these are guided by your personal values. Values are traits – in yourself and others – that you hold dear. Along with your individual belief system, values influence your entire life. Learn what your values are by taking a personal values assessment. Understanding your values helps you grasp a deeper understanding of yourself, what motivates you, and what your dreams are. Do an internet search for "personal values assessment" and you should get a list of different tests you can take. As you move towards living life on your own terms, you must get a handle on exactly what that means to you. Does that mean moving to another country? Does that mean dropping out of your current major to take up a new subject? Or, does that simply meaning cutting the puppet strings that someone else has used to control your decisions?  Sit down with a pen and paper and consider...

Article in English: The three types of mushrooms that are easiest to grow at home are oyster, white button, and Shiitake. The method for growing each mushroom is similar, but the ideal growing substrate differs.  Oyster mushrooms grow best in straw or coffee grounds (described later); Shiitakes grow best on hardwood sawdust; button mushrooms grow best in composted manure. These different substrates reflect the different nutritional needs of each species; however, each of these three species can be grown readily enough in sawdust or straw. Make sure that if you use sawdust it is from untreated wood. Choosing a type of mushroom to grow is a matter of taste. You should grow the type you most want to eat. Mushroom spawn is sawdust permeated with mushroom mycelia — essentially the root structure of the fungus. It is used much like plant seedlings to facilitate growth.  You can purchase high-quality mushroom spawn from several online retailers, some gardening supply stores, or some specialty organic living stores. Make sure to buy spawn rather than spores. Some retailers will also sell spores, which are more akin to the seeds of plants (rather than seedlings). Growing mushrooms from spores takes more time and practice, and is best suited for a seasoned mushroom grower.

Article in English: The throwing style with the most power and potential for accuracy is an overhand toss, used by expert card throwers the world around. One of the earliest public practitioners was a stage magician named Howard Thurston, who used an overhand toss to put power and accuracy into his tosses, wowing audiences. Finding a grip that works for you and feels comfortable is the most important part of learning to throw accurately. Most grip variations are named after famous card throwers:  The Thurston grip involved pinching the short side of the card between your index and middle finger, so the bulk of the card faces in toward your palm. All the other fingers should be up and out of the way. The Hermann grip, named after another magician, involves pinching the card between your thumb and your middle finger in the center of the card about a third of the way down, letting the index finger wrap all the way to the opposite edge at the corner to help control the spin. The bulk of the card should be facing your palm. The basic toss with the most accuracy happens by bending the card up next to the side of your head and release it with a flick of your wrist. To do this and get the right kind of spin on the card, you need to turn your palm up and grip the card using the grip style of your choice. Curve your wrist in so the card tucks into your wrist, and bend your elbow, drawing your hand up next to your head to get your arm ready for the throw. Your pinkie finger should be just about even with your ear when your arm is cocked and ready. To learn the appropriate motion and practice, just curve your wrist up without putting your whole arm into it and try tossing the card with enough spin. When you've gotten used to it practicing the toss, bring the card up beside your head to put more power into your tosses. In one fast, smooth motion, swing your arm forward from your shoulder and step into throw like throwing a baseball to get the most power and accuracy out of the card. At the end of that motion, unroll your wrist, spreading...

Article in English: The thyroid gland plays a very important role in a number of critical functions. The thyroid helps maintain energy levels, normal temperature, weight, clear thinking, the response of the body to other hormones, and the synthesis of proteins. The thyroid is located at the base of the neck and wraps around the front of the neck, like a bow tie or a butterfly. Thyroid problems can develop suddenly or develop over the course of years.  The most common conditions that affect the thyroid are hypothyroidism, which is an underactive thyroid, and hyperthyroidism, an overactive thyroid. The most common form of hypothyroid disease is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.  Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder where the body is producing antibodies to the thyroid. This leads to the decreased production of thyroid hormones and an underactive thyroid. There are a number of factors that may put you at risk for hypothyroidism. Knowing the risk factors can help you determine if any symptoms you have may be related to your thyroid function. If any of these risk factors apply to you, talk to your physician about thyroid screening. Screening can help diagnose thyroid disease early. These risk factors include:  Age: As with many disorders, the risk of hypothyroidism increases as you age. Gender: Women are at greater risk for hypothyroidism. Family History: Thyroid disease tends to run in families. If a close relative has had thyroid disease, you are at greater risk. Autoimmune disease: The presence of any autoimmune disease increases the risk of thyroid disease. Medical history of radiation to the neck or chest. Thyroid disease is diagnosed by both physical symptoms and lab results. Your doctor will take blood and test your thyroid stimulating hormones (TSH) to determine if you are at risk. Symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, depression, difficulty concentrating, weight gain, slower heartbeats, dry skin, thinning hair, sensitivity to cold, irregular menstrual cycles, constipation, and swelling around the neck.

Article in English: The time of the year does not matter much since you will be keeping the plant indoors. What does matter, however, is the soil. Water the plant thoroughly, then wait 1 hour; this will dampen the soil and make it easier to remove the root ball. If you are transplanting a seedling, wait until it forms a pair of true leaves. True leaves are hardier than the delicate leaves you see at first. It's better to gradually increase the size of your plant's pot as it grows rather than putting it into a giant pot from the start. Get a pot that is 1 size bigger than the one that the plant is already in. Cover the drainage hole in the new pot with a piece of mesh or a coffee filter.  You want to cover the drainage hole so that the soil doesn't fall out. The water will still be able to come out. If the new pot doesn't have a drainage hole, fill the pot with 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) of gravel. Use enough potting soil so that if you were to set the root ball into the pot, the top of the root ball would sit 1 inch (2.5 cm) below the pot's rim. Do not use gardening soil.  Gardening soil often contains insects, diseases, and fungi. Your plant is not used to these, and it can get sick or die as a result. For the healthiest, happiest plant, look for soil that contains equal parts of rich loam, sand/perlite, and organic matter.  If you are transplanting a seedling, fill the pot to within 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the rim. Dampen the soil with warm water and wait 1 hour. Cover the top of the pot with your hand so that the plant sticks out between your fingers. Turn the pot upside down, then gently tap the pot's against the edge of a table. This should loosen the root ball and cause it to slide out of the soil and into your hand.  Do not grab the plant by the stem and pull it out. Break the pot instead as a last resort. If you are transplanting a seedling, use a spoon to carefully dig the seedling out. Hold it by a leaf, never by the stem. Most root balls clump together, which is normal. If the plant was in the small pot for a long time,...

Show solidarity and support for your wife by encouraging her throughout the exercise, and by taking part in her healthy choices. Depending on the weight of your wife, it may not be feasible to hit the gym right away. She might even hate going to the gym. Instead, start with small, routine activities, like:  Going for a walk in the morning A leisure sport, like tennis Bird watching Shell or sea glass collecting Dancing Even something as simple as going to the park can help relax and restore her mind and body.

Article in English: The timing depends on which type of food coloring you are using. Read the full instructions below before you start, since you may need to change the order of the steps:  Add powdered dye as soon as the chocolate starts to melt. You can add oil-based dye after the chocolate melts, as long as you warmed the dye as described above. Liquid dye is less likely to cause seizing if added right away, before the chocolate melts. (This is why there is no need to warm the dye in advance.) Put the chocolate into the top portion of the double boiler, which should still be at room temperature. Place this container on top of the simmering pan. The indirect heat from the steam will warm the chocolate slowly, keeping it below seizing temperature.  If using a chocolate bar, break it into small pieces of roughly equal size. Make sure your hands are completely dry. Any moisture could ruin your chocolate. If using chocolate with real cocoa butter, you may set aside 1/3 of the chocolate for later use. This is only necessary if you want your chocolates to look glossy. White chocolate burns very easily, and should never get above 115ºF (46ºC). Keep the heat on the lowest setting, or turn it off completely if melting a small batch of chocolate. Stir slowly and constantly until smooth, then remove from heat.  If the instructions above call for adding the dye before the chocolate is melted, see below for more information. If melting a large batch of chocolate (several pounds or kilos), a chocolate thermometer or an instant-read thermometer with 1 degree increments is highly recommended. Keep the chocolate between 100 and 110ºF (37–43ºC). Most powdered and oil-based food dyes are more concentrated than the common liquid type. Add in small increments and stir in thoroughly before deciding whether to add more.  Shake bottled food coloring well before adding. If the chocolate seizes (turns gritty), remove it from heat and stir in a neutral-flavored vegetable oil a spoonful at a time. The chocolate will usually smooth out again, but this can...

Article in English: The timing that periods resume with breastfeeding is often completely dependent on how long you breastfeed. If you only breastfeeds for three months your periods will likely return a few weeks after stopping, or if you breastfeed for 18 months, you may not have a period for this entire time. Postpartum bleeding, on the other hand, starts almost immediately after the childbirth and can last between six to eight weeks before tapering off.  Breastfeeding can delay menstruation as it triggers the body to release the prolactin hormones which keeps the progesterone and estrogen levels low.  Even if a woman decides not to breastfeed, she will not start menstruating for a couple of weeks after childbirth. Approximately 70% of women have their normal menstrual period roughly six to 12 weeks after giving birth. The period should only last for three to six days. The color of the blood will be slightly different with postpartum bleeding than with menstruation, so it's important take note of this.  With postpartum bleeding, the color of the blood appears bright red for the first three days. Then from day four to 10, the discharge changes its color from pinkish red to reddish brownish with varying components such as old blood, white blood cells and tissue debris.  After day 10, a whitish discharge may be observed. This discharge consists of leukocytes (white blood cells), mucus, and epithelial cells. Although menstrual blood may also start as bright red, the color will change to dark red, black or brown towards the end of menstruation. The flow of blood is heavier in postpartum bleeding than in menstruation. In general, postpartum bleeding will be heavy for the first four days, then will gradually reduce in quantity over the next few days/weeks.  If you are saturating a super-pad each hour for at least three hours, or having blood clots bigger than a golf ball after the first two to three days, call you doctor right away. With menstruation, blood flow is also heaviest in the first three to four days, however the average...

Article in English: The tissue type you choose depends on your current needs. Spend some time considering why you need tissues.  If you have a cold, more heavy-duty tissue types may be necessary. You also may want to consider softer tissues or tissues that use aloe vera or lotion. This can prevent chafing from blowing your nose too often. If you're just using tissue for day-to-day allergies and occasional nose blowing, you can probably opt for a cheaper brand that is less soft and does not have any special lotions or creams. There are many different types and brands of facial tissues. Spend some time evaluating tissue types before making a decision.  Consumer Reports runs tests reviewing the effectiveness of various types of tissues. Keep an eye out for such reports when making your decision. This can help you choose the most durable tissue available.  Keep in mind your use of tissues can affect how effective they are. If you have rough skin, for example, you might want to opt for a 2-ply or 3-ply product to prevent tearing. If you're simply looking for tissues for day-to-day use, you might just want to buy tissue at sales prices. Keep your eyes peeled at the supermarket. You can also look for coupons in your local newspaper. If tissues are being sold in bulk prices, like 10 boxes for $10, it might be a good idea to stock up so they'll last you awhile.

Article in English: The title can contain significant clues about the nature of the poem, so you really shouldn't ignore it. Read the title and think about it in the context of the rest of the poem. Ask yourself, What does the poem mean in the context of the rest of the poem? How does the title deepen the meaning of the poem overall? Sometimes the title will describe who the speaker or intended audience of the poem is, for example, a poem with the title “For Mother” or “To My Lover.” Other times, the title may describe the subject, genre, or tone of the poem, for example, the title “Sonnet 18” or “Digging.” The poet and the speaker are not always the same person. A poem's speaker might be a character within the broader context of the poem. Note if the poet uses a first person speaker (“I”), a second person speaker (“you”), or a third person speaker (“she, he, they”). You can usually identify the speaker without careful analysis, but if you aren't sure, don't worry about it for now. Just make sure you understand what type of speaker is in the poem when you start analyzing the meaning of the poem. When you run across a word you don't understand, stop where you're at and look up the meaning of that word in a dictionary. You may circle these words or underline them so you can remember to look them up later. Defining unfamiliar words can help to deepen your understanding of the poem.  You may also want to look up possible synonyms for that word using a thesaurus. After defining that word, plug the definition or synonym into the poem and re-read the line with that meaning. You can apply this same practice to phrases or proper nouns you don't know, but defining the meaning of these elements may require additional research in other texts or online. The tone and mood of the poem are often created by the word choice and the language used in the poem. You may also get a sense of the mood and tone of the poem by listening to the rhythms of the poem when you read it out loud. For example, you may have a poem that has a humorous tone and a...

Article in English: The title should be placed roughly one-third of the way down from the top of the page. The first letter of each major word should be capitalized, but minor words should be left in lowercase. For example: How to Make a Cover Page. If you have a subtitle, include it below the title. Do not bold, italicize, or underline either the title or the subtitle. Skip several lines below the title, and make sure to include both your first and your last name. If other people collaborated with you on this paper, include their names as well.  Your name should be written using the same font and size as the other words on your title page. Don't try to use a cute or clever font for any part of your cover page, as professors don't care for this. Beneath your name, write the name of your instructor, name of the class, and date. Each of these elements should be listed on a separate line. Make sure each line is double-spaced.  Introduce your instructor as "Dr." when appropriate. If you cannot use this title to address your instructor, at least introduce him or her as "Professor." For example, "Dr. John Doe" or "Professor John Doe." Include both the course name and number.

Article in English: The tone of the letter should always remain professional, regardless of the audience. But you will likely adjust your language or word choice based on who you are writing to. If you are writing to the human resources department at another business, you may need to use more formal language. But if you are writing to a specific customer, you may use more informal or casual language.  Identifying your audience also means you will avoid confusing your audience. Avoid using terminology your reader won't understand. A customer likely won't know the acronyms used for the space program at your company, for example, so avoid using them in the letter. The number one rule of writing a good business letter is to be clear, concise, and courteous. Consider the purpose of the letter. Is it to let your customers know about your new location in a new part of town? Is it to remind a customer about an unpaid bill or outstanding balance? Or respond to a customer complaint? With this purpose in mind, craft a first line that lets the reader know right away what the letter will be about. Don’t be vague about the purpose of the letter. Cut to the chase.  Start by using “I” if you are stating your opinion as a business owner. Use “we” if you are writing on behalf of a company or organization.  Focus on a direct statement such as: “We are writing to inform you” or “We are writing to request”. You can also use an “I” statement if you are writing as the owner of the business. Such as: “I am contacting you because” or “I recently heard about...and would like to know more about…” For example, you (the business owner) are writing Nina Brown about an unpaid bill from last month. Begin the letter with: “I am contacting you because you have an outstanding balance on your account from March 2015.” Or, you are an employee at a company and are writing in response to a customer complaint against the company’s space program. Begin the letter with: “We received your complaint about our Mars space program.” You may be writing to inform the reader...

Article in English: The tonic, or first note in the scale, will sound right just about anywhere in the song. Using a piano, or your voice, play one note at a time until you find a note that “feels” right with the song. By playing other notes in the triad you will be able to hear if the chord feels like it fits with the song. Play the fifth note above the note you think is the tonic. The fifth should also sound like it fits in most parts of the song, because it is the second most stable note in a scale. Play the note one half step below your tonic, known as the seventh. You should feel some tension in the context of the song, as if this note is pulling to be resolved into the tonic. Play the note a major third up from the tonic. If this note fits with the song overall, then it is likely that the tune is in a major key. If not, trying playing a minor third (3♭) and listen to see if this fits better.  Practice hearing the difference between a major and a minor triad by playing the following triad: C – E – G is a major triad with C as tonic. Now change the E to E♭. C - E♭- G. Listen to the difference in overall feeling and tone. You may be able to guess whether it is major or minor simply by the feel of the song, because in a lot of western music songs that are keyed in minor feel sad or pensive. The most common chords within a scale should also show up in patterns in the song. One commonly used scale is the G Major scale, which still follows the major scale pattern: G - A - B - C - D - E - F# - G. Its chords are G Major, A Minor, B Minor, C Major, D major, E Minor, and F# Diminished.  Songs in the key of G Major will have chords that match these notes. For example, the Green Day song “(Good Riddance) Time of Your Life” begins with a G Major chord (G - B - D), which is followed by a C Major chord (C - E - G). These chords are both in the G Major scale, so the song is in the key of G Major. Pay attention to songs that are easy to sing along with for you, versus songs that feel uncomfortably high or low. Note the keys of songs that...

Article in English: The toothpaste can’t contain any mint, gel, and/or teeth-whitening properties. Regular white toothpaste is most effective at cleaning glass lenses, whereas toothpaste containing special properties can cause further damage to lenses. Baking soda-infused toothpaste such as Arm & Hammer's toothpaste is a great candidate for cleaning toothpaste because it cleans without using abrasive chemicals. Stick with a smaller amount so your glasses don’t become smudged with an excessive amount of paste. Cotton balls are the most effective as they leave little residue or stray fibers behind. Move the cotton ball around in circular motions for about 10 seconds for each scratch. This movement will help buff the scratch from the lens. Put your glasses under a steady stream of cool water in order to remove the toothpaste. Rotate the lens under the water to ensure all of the toothpaste is washed away. Pay special attention to any paste adhered to small crevices where your lenses meet the frame. Don’t use any coarse or dirty cloths as this can easily add another scratch to your sunglasses. Using your thumb and forefinger, carefully rub the cloth around the scratch to remove any remaining moisture or paste. Take special care not to apply too much pressure to your lenses so you don't accidentally pop them out. Put the lens under the light to verify the scratch has been removed. Place your sunglasses back on and look to see if any scratches are visible. If the scratch is still on the lens, clean the lenses with the toothpaste and cotton ball as many times as needed until the scratch is no longer visible.
