Article in English: Open the Run dialog by pressing Windows key + R and enter “dxdiag”. This will open the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. It will display an overview of your system. You can click each tab to see information on your display, sound, and inputs. A text box at the bottom of each tab will tell you if there are issues detected with that particular system. If you’re having difficulties running programs and are receiving DirectX errors, you may have corrupt or missing DirectX files. The best way to try to fix this is by reinstalling the latest version of DirectX. The installer is available for free from Microsoft. If you are having issues, upgrading to the latest version may help much more than uninstalling. The installer will scan your system and then install the necessary files to update your copy of DirectX to the latest version. Restart your computer after it’s finished and check to see if you receive the same errors. Many times, updating your video card drivers will help fix DirectX errors for games and other video-centric programs. To update your driver, you’ll need to determine which video card you have, and then download the appropriate file from the manufacturer.  To find your video card information, open the Run dialog (Windows key + R) and enter “dxdiag”. Click the Display tab, and note the Chip Type and Manufacturer from the Device section. Visit that manufacturer’s website. This will typically be NVidia or AMD. Search for your Chip Type on the website and download the latest driver files. Run the driver installer. Your old video card files will be overwritten with the latest version. You may notice your screen flickering during the installation process. If nothing you do seems to be fixing your problem, it may be time to reinstall Windows. This will replace all of your DirectX files with the built-in files with your Windows installation. Reinstalling Windows will take an hour or so, not counting the time it takes to backup and restore your files and reinstall your programs. Follow one of the following guides for...

Article in English: Open the bottle of smelling salts, hold it up to your nose and inhale for a few seconds. Then replace the lid. It’s as simple as that! You could also divide the batch you made and put it into smaller amber bottles. One could be for home use, and you could toss the other in your purse or put it in your pocket for times when you’re away from home. Many people love to have bowls of potpourri in their homes but become frustrated because the scent fades so quickly. Essential oil-infused smelling salts will last much longer. Pour the smelling salts in a small bowl, and place them around your house. You might use them to simply make a room smell nicely, or you might place them strategically to help offset unpleasant odors. Add the smelling salts to a small drawstring bag, or sew a small, square-shaped pouch from fairly porous material and fill it with the smelling salts. If you made a blend to help you sleep, you might place it on your pillow. You could put an uplifting blend in your lingerie drawer. Or you could hang one blended for relaxation from the rearview mirror in your car.

Some extensions cannot be entered until the entire automated menu service plays, or until a certain option is selected. The "wait" function will display the extension on your screen and you'll indicate when it should be entered.  Press and hold the # button to add a semicolon (;) to the end of the number. This symbol indicates a "wait," and the subsequent extension will not be dialed until you say so. If you're using a Windows phone, you'll need to add a "w" instead of a ";".

Article in English: Open the doors and windows of the area where you need to clean the droppings. Ventilate this space for at least 30 minutes before you begin cleaning. If you are dealing with a very large number of droppings, wear a face mask or ventilator while cleaning. Consider wearing an eye mask when cleaning after large infestations of rats. This will release any pathogens into the air and can also trap pathogens in your vacuum or on your broom. Instead, only clean up the droppings with a commercial disinfectant or a 10% chlorine bleach solution. Use paper towels to pick up droppings soaked in this solution. Combine 1.5 cups (360 mL) of chlorine bleach with one gallon (5.678 L) of hot water. You might wear a mask or ventilator to protect your throat and lungs when making this solution. Put the solution in a spray bottle. Put on rubber or latex gloves that you can dispose of or wash in very hot water. Spray the droppings with the bleach solution until they are saturated. Let the solution soak into the droppings for about five minutes. Next, put the paper towel in a plastic bag and secure the bag. Put the plastic bag with the droppings in a covered trash can that is emptied frequently. Ideally take the plastic bag to a trash receptacle outside your home. Rats often nest in attics. Remove the droppings in the attic as described above. Use this technique on any hard surfaces and in the insulation. Remove any insulation that has a large number of rat droppings, especially if these droppings are below the top surface of the insulation. Put heavily soiled insulation in a plastic bag and dispose of it immediately. You’ll have to replace the insulation.

Article in English: Open the message, document, or web page that contains the photo you'd like to save on your MacBook. Not all web pages permit images to be saved or downloaded. For example, you can't download pictures from the Instagram website. If the image is in a preview format (e.g., a result on Google), you'll first need to click the image to open it in full-size view. Some images, such as occasional images inserted into articles, serve as links to other pages. If clicking an image opens an unrelated page, click your browser's "Back" button to return to the original image. Click the yellow circle in the upper-left corner of the window that contains the image. This makes the window smaller so that your Mac's desktop is visible. Click and hold the image with your mouse pointer, then drag the image off of the edge of your browser window until it's suspended over the desktop. You should see a transparent version of the image appear when you drag it away. When you see a white + in a green circle appear over the thumbnail of the picture, release the click you were holding.

You have to hold down Control for the entire duration of the click, or the menu won't appear. On some MacBooks, you can click and hold the picture to prompt the pop-up window to appear. You can also try "right-clicking" the picture by pressing your Mac's trackpad button with two fingers, or by pressing the right side of the trackpad button on some MacBooks. It's in the context menu. This will prompt the photo to download immediately into your Mac's "Downloads" folder, which is usually a folder literally named "Downloads".  If you're using a browser other than Safari, you can click Save Image As instead. This option will allow you to select a name and a specific download location for the file before you download it. You can open the "Downloads" folder by opening Finder (the blue, face-shaped app icon) and then clicking Downloads on the left side of the window. If you set your Mac's default "Downloads" folder to a different folder (e.g., the "Desktop" folder), you'll find the image there instead.

Article in English: Open the tank, and, one at a time, pull the film gently off the reels. With a squeegee or a sponge, remove the excess water from the film. Try not to let anything touch the film. It is very soft and can be damaged easily at this stage. If anything gets on the film, immediately run liberal amounts of distilled water over the film. It is normal for the film to look cloudy before it is dry. Clip the film to a string, ideally one that you have already hung, using clothespins or film hanger clips. You will need one or two clips at the top and one at the bottom. Some clips have small "hooks" on them. You can run the hooks through the square holes running down the sides of the film, and thus avoid puncturing the film negative. The bottom clips act like weights to prevent the film from curling up while it dries. Let the film dry in a room that is temperature room for at least two hours. Once the film is dry, use scissors or a sharp knife to the cut the film as you see fit. Use sleeves bought from a camera shop to store your film. You can also take the negatives to a store, like a camera store or some pharmacies like CVS or Walgreens, and have prints made. Or, you can scan the negatives into a computer and order prints online.

Article in English: Open up deeper conversations through email. You can create a stronger relationship by sharing personal stories or events from your life. Make a connection last by showing her who you are and being honest about your past. Keep her thinking about you by keeping up with what she's doing on social media and engage in conversations through comments and likes. Remember that she has a life too, and don't expect an instant reply to every email. It may take her a few days to respond to your emails, so be patient and let her respond before you send multiple emails. Once you have exchanged four or five emails, it's  time to bring the relationship into the real world. Ask her what her schedule is for the next week and pick a day that she's free. Tell her the time and place you'd like to meet, and be confident. She'll appreciate that you are able to make decisions. You put in a lot of work to get to this point in a relationship that started online. Be yourself and remember her interests from your early conversations to keep the date from going stale. NOTE: Be sure you tell family and friends where you're going and when to expect you back just to be safe!

Article in English: Open up the drop-down Tools menu in the top toolbar of Google Earth. If you have an earlier version than v4.3, access the flight simulator by pressing Control+Alt+A, Control+A, or Command+Option+A then pressing enter. After this feature has been activated at least once, it appears under the tools menu. A small window should now open up. There are three parts to this: aircraft, start position and joystick.  Aircraft - Choose the airplane you would like to fly. The SR22 is a slower plane and easier for beginners while the F-16 is for more intermediate to expert users. In this guide, we are using the F-16 as an example. Start Position - You can either your current view, starting off from an airport of a major city or your last position on the flight simulator. Beginners should use the New York airport. Joystick - Check the box if you are using a joystick to control your airplane.   Since it is almost impossible to see the runways without aids, take every runway you might land at, and draw a path along the length of the runway. Make the runways of different colours and set the width to 5mm. The runways are very clearly visible in mid-air now. Turn on Borders/Labels and Transportation. Again, this is to help you navigate.

Article in English: Open up the oven, pull out the rack a bit, and push the sides of the cookie very lightly with a spatula or your finger. If the edge stays firm and doesn't fall inwards, then your cookies are done. If you leave a noticeable indention, then your cookies likely need a few minutes more in the oven.  This is an especially good method to use with dark cookies, such as chocolate or gingerbread, where coloring isn't the best indication of doneness.  If you choose to use your finger to test, make sure to be very careful or you could get burned by the baking sheet. If you are working with a fragile cookie, like shortbread, test them by pressing lightly into the center instead of the edges. This will lower the likelihood of them breaking up upon contact. Pull open your oven and slide your metal spatula halfway under a single cookie. Lift up just a bit and check the coloring of the cookie's underside. The cookie should appear light brown or golden in coloring and firm in texture.  Be very careful when lifting or you could split the cookie in half. This method works well for sandies, spritz, and other pale colored cookies. It's sometimes hard to test the doneness of bar cookies because they are so dense and often dark in coloring. Get a wooden toothpick or skewer and push it into the bar. Keep going until you reach the halfway point of the cookie. Withdraw the toothpick. If there are lots of crumbs or batter on the wood, then the cookies are not quite done. It's important to use wood skewers or toothpicks. Metal ones do not work as well as the crumbs will simply slide off.

Article in English: Open up your curtains and let the sun shine in! Using natural light whenever possible instead of relying on artificial light can greatly reduce the amount of electricity you use during the day. The same is true whether you work in an office or spend your days in your house. Exposure to natural light also increases happiness,, giving you an even greater incentive to raise the blinds.  Try to arrange your workspace so that natural light floods your desk. Keep the overhead lights off when possible. When you need extra lighting, use a low-powered desk lamp instead. Buy curtains or blinds in a light shade. They will still allow light to come through, but also provide privacy when you need it. Replacing regular incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent (CFL) or LED bulbs is a big energy saver. Incandescent bulbs release 98% of their consumed energy through heat, while CFL and LED bulbs are much more energy efficient and last several times longer.  CFL bulbs were the first alternative to incandescent bulbs, and they use only about 1/4 the energy of incandescent bulbs. They contain trace amounts of mercury, so they must be disposed of properly when they burn out. LED bulbs are newer to the market. They're more expensive than CFLs, but they last longer and don't contain mercury. This is the simplest, most common way to save electricity, and it really works. Start paying attention to how many lights are on in your house at a given time. Be mindful of how many lights you really need to be using at once. When you leave a room, make a habit of turning off the lights, every single time.  Use light bulbs which don't need to "warm up" for areas that have lights which are used for short periods of time. This information should be written on the bulb's packaging. If you really want to go all out, have your family use just one or two rooms at night, rather than spreading out all over the house and keeping your entire home lit. For maximum electricity savings, use candles! This old-fashioned system of providing light at...

Article in English: Open windows for ventilation  and spray any droppings with a mixture of bleach and water. The ratio of bleach should be one part to ten parts water. Do not sweep or vacuum up mouse droppings or nesting materials. These can kick up dust which could carry disease. Then, use a paper towel to scoop up the droppings and throw away.  Disinfect floors once you've cleaned the countertops by mopping with a bleach and water mixture. Remember to wash bedding in hot water and clean any upholstered furniture you think mice might have contaminated. In addition to keeping a clean home, check the seals on doors, windows, and access points to the outside. You can use whatever method you like to seal the gap, just be sure to fill all of them.  Do not use caulk or plastic fillers to seal gaps since mice can chew through them.  Sprinkle a few drops of peppermint oil on cotton balls and tuck them around your home. Since mice don't like the strong scent, they'll stay away.

Article in English: Open wounds are vulnerable to infection. Monitor your wound for infection. Symptoms of infection include redness, swelling, or warmth around the wound. Any pus or colored discharge indicates infection.  You may also develop a fever, chills, or fatigue if the infection worsens or spreads. Seek medical attention if this happens. An uncomplicated infection on your face can sometimes turn into facial cellulitis. This is an infection of deeper layers of skin and underlying tissue, and it can cause serious complications if left untreated. Watch for redness, pain and swelling, and yellow or green pus. Some people heal more slowly or are at risk of complications from infections, including those who are obese, diabetic, have poor blood flow due to arteriosclerosis, smoke, use alcohol heavily, or are under stress. See a doctor about your facial wound if you fall into one of these categories. She can advise you on the best plan of treatment. Only minor wounds should be treated at home. See a doctor if you have deep wounds with rough or uneven edges, if you can’t bring the edges together, or if you can’t properly clean the wound. You may need stitches to pull the skin back together, or you may be at risk for infection.  If the wound won’t stop bleeding, you should also go to the doctor because this indicates it is a more serious wound. See a doctor, too, if the area around the wound becomes very swollen, red, and tender to the touch. You may need an oral antibiotic. If the open wound on your face is caused by a cold sore, your doctor can prescribe antivirals to help heal the cold sore. These drugs may be in a pill or cream form. Pills generally heal cold sores faster than creams. If you don’t want to go see a doctor, you can buy over-the-counter creams that will heal the cold sore.

Article in English: Open your HTML file as well. This will allow you to link a separate CSS file to your HTML document. Your link tag needs three attributes: rel, type, and href.   rel means "relationship" and tells the browser what the relationship is to the HTML document. Here it should have a value of "stylesheet".  type tells what type of media is being linked to. Here it should have a value of "text/css"   href here is used similarly to how it is used in an <a> element, but here it must link to a CSS file. If the CSS file is located in the same folder as the HTML file, only the file name needs to be written within the quotation marks. Add a class attribute to these elements and set them equal to a class name of your choice. This will give your elements the same styling. Type the class name in your CSS file with a period (.) preceding it (i.e. .class). Id's are created in CSS using a pound symbol (#) rather than a period. Id's are more specific than classes, so an id will override any class styling if it has an attribute with a different value than the class.

Article in English: Open your hands and clap your palms against each other, with the fingers held up towards the sky. Do it hard enough to get a good loud smacking sound out of it, but not so hard you turn your hand red. Some people clap more by clapping the fingers of one hand against the palm of the other. Do whatever feels most comfortable for you. You know when the Queen comes out of the castle and deigns to applaud her loyal subjects with a brief applause? That's what you're going for. A demure clap can be done just by clapping with the first two fingers, tapping them into your palm. It should make very little noise, giving the impression that you're clapping more than actually contributing to the group. Not all cultures or situations call for hand on hand clapping. Learn to use other types of claps so you'll be prepared to celebrate in all situations.  Stomping your feet is a common way of applauding at some camps and in some sporting events. It makes more of a thunderous rumble that can be quite intimidating and fun. Rapping your knuckles on the table after a lecture used to be common in some boarding schools, as opposed to clapping. To snap or not to snap? The cliché that beret-wearing hipsters snap at each others poems at jazzy cafes is a cliché based on an out-of-date 1940s stereotype. If you snap your fingers at a poetry reading, you'll probably be the only one. It's like yelling "Freebird" at a rock concert. In situations in which it’s inappropriate to made noise, or when the audience is primarily hearing-impaired or deaf, the general way of clapping is to raise your hands with your palms facing away from you, and to wiggle your fingers. Sometimes called "sparkling," this is also used to agree or to support a speaker during meetings of consensus, Quaker meetings, or other events during which speaking out is not allowed. A slow clap starts and builds gradually into a roar of applause. To start a slow clap, begin clapping no more than once every two seconds and gradually wait for others to build and join in with you....

Article in English: Open your legs, and bend your knees slightly. Your feet should be planted roughly the same distance apart as your shoulders, and your back should be straight. Keep your posture loose. You won't be standing still for very long. Start with your right foot. Lift it straight up a little ways off the ground and return it, finishing with a small skip-step backward.  To perform the skip-step, let your foot hit the ground and bounce back up slightly, kicking it a few inches back rather than popping it up again. To keep your balance, you will have to hop a little bit, which is also a part of the dance. Practice going back and forth from your right foot to your left and back again, until you feel like you can keep up a rhythm easily. Now that you're comfortable with the movement, you'll need to learn a simple pattern. The dance is performed in sets of four steps that alternate back and forth.  The pattern is as follows: right foot, left foot, right foot, right foot, followed by the opposite. This means you step and skip once with your leading foot, once with the other foot, and then twice more with the leading foot. After that, switch your leading foot and repeat.  On the last two steps in each set, you'll find it's difficult to skip-step, since it naturally puts your weight onto your other foot. Do what Psy does and just keep your foot light, instead of taking a full skip-step on these steps. Don't kick back on them. Practice this RLRR, LRLL pattern until you can keep a rhythm doing it.

Article in English: Open your mouth slightly and part your lips enough that you could comfortably get your tongue through them. Lightly run your tongue over his lower lip, then pull your tongue back. Slowly and softly dart your tongue in and out of his mouth, pulling back for a few moments each time. For example, you can touch his tongue with yours, then pull back. Circle your tongue around his, then pull back. If you don't pull back occasionally, the kiss might feel aggressive and drool will definitely become an issue! Pulling back also gives a chance to catch your breath. A light nibble on his lower lip might be okay every now and then, but definitely avoid biting him or getting your teeth involved in any other way. Gentle kisses on the jaw are great, but don't suction your mouth to his neck like a vacuum hose. Most people just aren't into hickeys! Plus, leaving behind visible traces of your make out session could get you both in hot water with your parents. Keep it low-key. If his kisses are more aggressive or faster than you'd like, don't suffer in silence! Pull back and whisper something like, "I like being kissed like this." Then, demonstrate exactly what you like. He'll appreciate the direction! Don't just let your hands sit there limply—use them to make the kiss better! Pull him closer and try resting your hands on his shoulders, hips, chest, or the sides of his face.  You could also try tangling your fingers in his hair. If he seems uncomfortable with any of your touches, reel it in. As you get more comfortable, you can make the pressure more insistent or the kisses faster. You can also try changing up the intensity and speed. Avoid settling into one technique for too long! Ending the kiss before it gets boring is always ideal. If you stop while it's still fun, he'll instantly be looking forward to next time! Pull back, look into his eyes, and smile before you part ways.

Article in English: Open your output folder and watch the video that you just created. Make sure that it contains everything that you wanted to capture, and that it does not have any excess footage or footage that shouldn't be there. You can open your output folder by clicking the folder icon at the top of the Bandicam window. There's a pretty good chance that your new game video is quite large, especially if you were recording for a while. You can lower the size of the video by encoding it using programs such as Handbrake or Avidemux. This will lower the quality of the video but significantly reduce the file size. Encoding your video can make uploading it to YouTube a much quicker process. If you are planning to burn it to a DVD or just want to keep it on your computer, you can probably leave it as it is. Bandicam doesn't have any video effects options, so you can use other programs such as Windows Movie Maker or Sony Vegas to add effects and transitions to your videos. You can insert text cards between scenes, splice together multiple recorded clips, add transitions, credits, and much more. YouTube is one of the best places to share your gameplay videos and tutorials. You can even make some money off of them if they get popular enough!  Note that some companies do not allow you to make money off of videos of their products. These restrictions vary from company to company, so it's wise to investigate the specific policy for the game you want to upload. See this guide for details on uploading videos to YouTube. See this article for tips on monetizing your videos. If you'd rather burn the video to DVD so that you can store it, watch it later, or give it to friends and family, you can easily do so with most DVD burning programs. Burning your video to DVD will allow you to delete it from your computer, saving space. This is specifically good for very large videos. See this guide for details on how to burn a DVD video.

Article in English: Open your oven and make sure that the baking rack is in the middle. Close your oven, turn it on, and set the temperature to 350°F (177°C). It will take 5 to 10 minutes for your oven to reach the right temperature. Place a sheet of parchment paper on top of a baking sheet. If you do not have a baking sheet, you can use an oven-safe glass or ceramic dish instead. Make sure that the dish is large enough to fit your brie. Look for a younger cheese, or for something that says "double cream" on the label; avoid anything that says "triple cream," as it may end up too runny when baked. If your cheese came wrapped in paper or plastic, you will need to remove the wrapper and discard it. Leave the white rind on the cheese. Baked brie is usually eaten by cutting a bit off with a knife and spreading the softened cheese over a cracker. You can make a dip-able baked brie by cutting the top part of the rind off. Leave the sides and bottom of the rind intact; they will hold the cheese together while you bake it. You will need 2 to 3 tablespoons of honey. Make sure that it is the translucent, runny type. You can also cut the cheese in half, so that you end up with two thin circles. Spread your honey (and other ingredients if you wish) on top of the bottom circle. Then, place the top circle back down on it—just like making a sandwich. Instead of using honey, you can also use maple syrup, agave nectar, fruit jam, or fig spread. You can make your brie even more unique and flavorful by adding some toppings. If you cut your brie in half, you can place these toppings in between the two slices with the honey. Place the toppings over the honey. Here are some suggestions and combinations:  A few sprigs of fresh thyme and a handful of chopped walnuts. A few sprigs of fresh rosemary and a handful of chopped walnuts. Before you place the brie into the oven, add a few sprigs of thyme. After you take the brie out of the oven, top it with some quartered figs.  Substitute the honey for maple syrup instead, then add brown sugar, a handful of...

Article in English: Open your packet of frozen corn and pour it into a large microwave-safe bowl. If you like, you can break up any clumps of frozen-together kernels to ensure the corn cooks more evenly, but this is not required. At this point, you can add a small amount of water to the bowl if you would like your corn slightly softer when it's done. The extra water will boil and steam the corn as it cooks, breaking it down a little more than it would from ordinary cooking and giving it a softer texture. You may add as much or as little water as you want — you can always drain excess water after you're done if you add too much. A good general rule is to use about two tablespoons of water for every pound (16 ounces) of frozen corn you use. Set your microwave to "HIGH" or your preferred cooking setting and let the corn heat for about four or five minutes. Every minute or two, pause the microwave and stir the corn to ensure even heating.  Note: These directions assume you're using about one pound (16 ounces) of frozen corn. If you're using significantly less, you may want to shorten this cooking period to about two or three minutes to ensure your corn does not burn or dry out. After the first cooking period, check your corn. Depending on how much corn you used and the strength of your microwave, it may or may not be evenly-heated at this point. If you detect cold spots, stir the corn and return it to the microwave to cook in two-minute intervals. Repeat this pattern until your corn is all the way cooked. When your corn has heated evenly and no icy spots remain, it's ready to eat! At this point, you can add whatever seasonings you want and enjoy.  For one pound of corn, about a tablespoon and a half of butter and salt and pepper to taste will give an excellent "classic" savory flavor. There may be some excess water at the bottom of your corn from the  melted ice when you finish microwaving. If this is the case, you can carefully pour it into the sink (taking care to avoid touching it, as it will likely be hot) or toss the corn in a...

Article in English: Opening a package with your teeth might be convenient, but tiny rips in the condom can happen that you might not notice before you put it on. Instead, tear open the wrapper by pulling apart the premade notch on one of the corners. Never use scissors, knives, or other sharp objects to open the package or you may accidentally puncture the condom. If it feels dry, stiff, or extra sticky when it comes out of the package, it might not have been stored properly. Discard a dry, sticky, and/or stiff condom and get a new one. Rings and genital piercings can tear a condom, so you may want to remove them before putting on a condom. Also, be careful when putting on a condom if you have sharp nails. Make sure you have squeezed the air out of the tip. Air in the tip of the condom can cause it to burst open and break during use. Squeeze the tip between your forefinger and thumb while you roll the rest of the condom down the penis. There are a couple of reasons why you need to make sure you have the right sized condom. Your condom should be neither too small nor too big and shouldn't roll back up from the base once you have it on an erect penis. Measure your erect penis to ensure you buy the right size - it might take a few tries to make sure you have the best fit.  You need to have room at the tip to catch the semen. That tip that you pinched to squeeze out the air so the condom wouldn't burst has to have room for ejaculate. If you don't have space at the tip, the condom could burst, leaving you and your partner at risk for STIs and pregnancy. The condom can't be too loose so as to move around. A loose-fitting condom allows for movement of fluids or could fall off all together, again putting you and your partner at risk. Measure for fit at home before you buy.  Be realistic; don't go for image. “Small” and “large” sizes have more to do with width than length but you can also get shorter or longer condoms, so practice safer sex and choose wisely. Oil-based lubricants can weaken the condom and make it break. Choose a...

Article in English: Opening up about depression can be challenging, but you may feel better if you try to share your feelings. Gather the courage to talk to your parents about what it’s like to have depression, especially when you are feeling particularly low.  Don’t feel guilty about being depressed and don’t try to protect our parents from worry and stress by holding back. Talking to them doesn’t mean you expect them to “fix” you. It just gives you an outlet for your emotions, and helps you feel less alone. Your parents would rather know that something is wrong, as opposed to wondering if something is wrong. Be honest about your feelings. This way, they can start helping you. You can help your parents help you by passing on useful information you learn about improving your depressive symptoms. You can ease depression by taking your prescribed medication, getting a good night’s rest, eating balanced meals, and getting physical activity. Tell your parent’s how they can help you with this. Make a list of ways your parents can support your treatment. For instance, they might go walking with you outdoors in the evenings, start a family game night to help you relieve stress, keep track of medication refills, or make sure you are going to bed at a decent time to be well-rested. A great way to involve your parents in your treatment is by having them join you at appointments. That way, they can stay updated on the treatment process and ask any questions they may have. Driving you to doctor visits and therapy appointments also helps you feel supported during this difficult time. You might say, “I’d really like it if you came to my next appointment with me.” If you’ve secured a therapist but are having problems with your parents’ support, you might ask your therapist to intervene. The therapist might offer to meet with them one-on-one or together to discuss the severity of your situation, and other things. Sometimes, parents are more likely to respond if your concerns are validated by a mental health professional or by an official diagnosis.

Article in English: Opening up your body to the other person tells them you are listening, engaged, and ready to communicate. It also makes eye contact easier and more natural to maintain. Position yourself a few feet away from the other person's face. Most commonly, this is one of the other person's eyes, but if you are uncomfortable you can look between their eyes, just under or above the eye, or at the earlobe. Think of how you would look at a painting or great view -- you are not focusing intently on their eye but instead looking at them gently. Hold your eyes in this position and resist darting them around. Relax your gaze by breathing slowly as you make eye-contact and nodding occasionally while you listen. Too much eye-contact can be as off-putting as none at all. While you don't need to count the seconds, you should look away every once in a while to keep the conversation light and easy, but only for a few seconds. Some casual ways to do so include:  Laughing, nodding, and acknowledging the other person. Looking at the sky/weather. Looking off to the side briefly, as if remembering something. Running your hands through your hair.

Article in English: Operating under the assumption that people forget their passwords one at a time, it is usually a good idea to try out other personal passwords you tend to use regularly. While it's now common practice for web users to use separate passwords for different things, some passwords are often used for numerous things.  If you're unsure, it's altogether possible that you didn't actually forget a password, but only forgot that a certain password corresponded with an account. Don't forget to try out old or out-of-date passwords as well, if the account you're trying to access is fairly old. Any hunt for passwords cannot go without touching upon the most obvious, common answers. This is especially true if you have no idea what the password is and you're trying to guess from scratch. Try to think of the most intuitive, obvious passwords you may have chosen. Passwords like 'Password', 'Cheeseburger', or your full name are incredibly easy to hackers to exploit, and if you think you may have defaulted with one of those, you'll at least have given yourself an easy code to break.  Some of the most common passwords include '123456', 'abc123', 'qwerty', and 'iloveyou'. Birthdays are also common.  If you think you may have been sneaky enough to add a twist on an otherwise weak password, try out testing some basic encryptions. For instance, if you may have used your name or your birth year in the password, try spelling them backwards. Most passwords today require at least one number. The most common numerical addition is to add a '1' at the end of the password; the second most common addition is to add one's birthday (e.g. 1992). In a lot of cases, people will find inspiration for their passwords from their life and surroundings. If you have a rough idea when the account and password were created, try to look back on that time and decide what important factors may have influenced your choice of password. Did you have a significant other at the time, or a pet? Setting some time aside to  reflect upon your past is helpful if you're...

Article in English: Opt for a scented dryer sheet: lavender and lemon balm are great options. Simply put one in your pocket or wrap it around a belt loop to naturally keep gnats away.  In addition to keeping away gnats, the dryer sheet may also help repel mosquitos. If your outfit doesn’t have a pocket or belt loops, you could pin it to your clothes. It might look a little silly, but it should help! It turns out that gnats hate the smell of vanilla! Mix together 1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) of vanilla extract and 1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) of water. Put the mixture onto a cotton ball and rub it on your neck, wrists, collarbone, and ankles. If you’re going to be outdoors for a long time, bring a small container filled with extra extract to reapply throughout the day. In a small, clean container, mix together 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of shea butter and 4-6 drops of peppermint essential oil. Rub the cream onto your hands, neck, legs, arms, and any other areas of exposed skin. If you don’t have shea butter, use another moisturizer that doesn’t have added scents. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to avoid it, you might end up walking through a heavily infested gnat area. To keep them away from your eyes, mouth, and nose, wear a pair of sunglasses and wrap a bandana around your face. Once you’re away from the area, you can remove these items. Gnats won’t harm you—they don’t bite or transmit diseases—but they are annoying and can ruin a nice day. Do your best to be prepared when you go outdoors, especially if you’ll be near still water sources.

Article in English: Opt for clothing made of breathable materials, such as cotton, linen, or jersey. These fabrics will not constrain your body or cause you to sweat in the heat. They are also great for staying cool and put together, even on a hot weather day.  You may look for dresses, tops, and skirts made of cotton or linen. Or you may opt for a jersey dress in a simple cut that you can wear on a hot day. Shorts made of cotton or linen are also good options for staying cool on a hot day. T-shirts and collared shirts made of linen or jersey are also ideal. Fabrics like polyester, nylon, and silk may look nice on but they are not breathable materials. They will cause you to sweat and will retain body odors, making your hot weather day that much more uncomfortable.  You should also avoid clothing made of rayon or wool, as they are not breathable and will cause you to sweat more than you already are in hot weather. Silk is also a fabric that repels water, which will create a rippling effect on the fabric when you wear it on a hot, sweaty day. However, if you need to dress up for an event, you may opt for silk over more constricting fabrics like polyester or nylon. When you are choosing clothing for a hot day, you should go for fabrics that are light in color. Pastels and colors on the lighter end of the spectrum, such as white, beige, and gray, are all good options as they will absorb less sun than darker colors. Avoid clothing in dark colors or jewel tones, like emerald, purple, or blue. You should also avoid black clothing, as it will trap light and make you feel more hot in hot weather. If you work outside often or are walking around outside on a daily basis in hot weather, you may opt for the comfort and breathability of work out clothing. A lot of work out clothing is made of materials that absorb sweat and keep you cool as you sweat. Often, work out clothing is also made to be comfortable and easy to move in as you go about your day. If you work in an office setting or another professional setting, work out clothing may not...

Article in English: Opt for compact fluorescent (CFL) or light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs. These options use an average of 75 percent less electricity (usually sourced from coal). They also last much longer (5 to 20 years), saving you lots of money in the long run. CFLs and LEDs are brighter than incandescent bulbs. If you’re sensitive to bright lights, look into fitting your lamps with darker lamp shades. For ceiling fixtures, consider installing LED-compatible dimmers. Each time you turn a light on, you use up energy. Unfortunately, many people have a habit of turning on lights they don't actually need. By reducing your use of lighting, you will not only help conserve energy, but also save on electricity bills.  Keep the lights off in rooms that you are not currently using. On sunny days, open the curtains for some free solar lighting. Consider switching to timers or motion sensors if you need lights on in unused areas for security or safety reasons. This is great for garden pathways. Use dimmers and less lighting later at night to help your body get ready for sleep. Switch to smaller, energy-efficient lights. If you’re reading or sewing, use a desk lamp rather than a ceiling lamp. Even if your coffee maker or computer is switched off, it’s still consuming energy as long as it is still plugged into the wall. Unplug these devices when not in use. If you have multiple electronics in, consider using a power strip. This way, you can simply turn the strip off to cut the power. Central air often uses coal-based electricity. Central heating often uses oil or natural gas. Adjusting the temperature just one or two degrees can help to conserve resources. To maximize your comfort, dress warmly and use thick blankets during colder weather. When it’s hot outside, close the blinds on east-facing windows in the morning and west-facing windows in the afternoon. Insulate your home with weather stripping, caulk, and eco-friendly insulation. This will prevent cold winter air and hot summer air from making your home uncomfortable. Most clothes...

Article in English: Opt for something roomy enough to comfortably accommodate your layers but not too loose or bulky. Make sure it's a waterproof and properly insulated ski jacket - not a hoodie or a sweatshirt. Ski jackets use special fabrics, insulation and features to keep you warm. These include waterproof-breathable fabrics, heat-retaining insulation, and a powder skirt or closeable cuffs and hem. Go for actual ski pants made for the slopes. They have an inner powder cuff that you slide over your boots to prevent snow from getting in. Your pants should fit well and allow you to move comfortably. Wear only one pair of socks to keep your feet from sweating too much. Your socks should be thin but warm. If you're renting boots, choose slightly thicker socks for comfort. Make sure they have padding to protect your shins when they press against your ski boots. Any other boots won't clip to your skis. Buy or rent boots that fit the width of your feet. Look for boots with good flexibility. If you're skiing recreationally, avoid stiff boots designed for racing.
