Article in English: Like most people, you probably feel the drive to make more money, get more things, and look better. However, extraordinary people realize that these things don't matter as much as learning to focus on the things that make you truly happy.  For instance, being in a relationship with people you love and trust is important, and that doesn't have to be sexual. Friendships can be just as important as having a lifetime partner. You just need to be with people that you trust enough to be emotionally vulnerable with. This step also means valuing experiences over things. Things just fill up your house, while experiences make you feel alive and invigorated. Part of what makes life enjoyable is the experiences you have, from eating a fabulous dinner to watching a sunrise to taking a painting class. When life gets busy, you're likely to find excuses not to have new experiences, as everyone does. But making sure you take the time to get out and try new things is integral to making you an extraordinary person.  Think of it this way. When you think of extraordinary people, do you think of someone who sits at home every night? No, extraordinary people have extraordinary and interesting experiences. Start making plans. Decide you're going to try at least one new thing a week, and stick to it. Making plans with other people can help you stick to it. Also, don't be afraid to be spontaneous. Feel like going to the beach? Take a mental health day from work and take that three hour drive down to the beach. Sure, you'll be tired at the end of the day, but you'll also feel exhilarated and more alive. Just like the experiences you have, your passions help make your life fuller and you a more interesting person. Following your passions helps engage your curiosity and keep your spark of life alive.  Maybe you've lost touch with your love of painting, but it used to make you happy. Try picking it up again. Join a club in your area, or find a class at your local community college. If you're not sure what you're really passionate about,...

Article in English: Like most pets, guinea pigs can learn to come to you when called with a little practice and motivation in the form a treat. Make sure you use your guinea pig’s name often and address them by name when you feed them and give them treats.  You can also practice getting them to come to you when called by taking them out of their cage and placing them a few feet away from you (this may scare them if they are emotionally attached to you). Call them by name and hold out one of their favorite treats. Your guinea pig should be motivated to run to you. When they do so, give them a treat as a reward. Practice this at least once a day and over time they should come to you when called by name outside their cage and inside their cage. This is another simple command you can teach your guinea pig using a treat.  Hold a treat above your guinea pig’s head so they have to stand on their back legs to get to it. Say the command “Stand up” and then let them have the treat once they are on their back legs. Repeat this command once a day consistently. Over time, your guinea pig will stand up when you command them, even when you are not holding a treat. You can practice this command with your guinea pig when they are in their cage or outside of their cage.  Hold a treat in your hand and let your guinea pig approach you. When they are in front of you, move your hand so you make a circle, and say the command “Circle”.  Your guinea pig should follow the motion of your hand, with the treat, and make a circle. Once they make a circle, give them the treat. Repeat this once a day until they can circle on command, without the treat.

Article in English: Like other bush beans, broad beans can be tender and edible in the first couple days of their formation, eaten like sugar snap peas, or steamed whole as a side dish. Broad beans are notable for the waxy outer shell on each bean, but harvested young those outer shells will be soft and edible.  Look for a narrow pod that's bright green. The pods should be thin and narrow, showing none of the bulges that are the sign of mature beans on the inside. If beans are showing, let them mature fully. Don't over-pick your young beans, since the full-grown variety is where the flavor's at. It's ok to pick a few from each plant if you can't wait, but save the majority for full maturation. Broad beans are ready to be harvested when the pods and plump and the beans are fat and distinct in each pod. The pods will appear to plump some and begin to droop with the weight of the seeds when they're ready to harvest. Depending on what variety you're growing, pods can be anywhere from 6 to 15 inches long, with several large, fat beans on the inside, with several pods per plant. If you pick them regularly throughout the season, you should open up space for more production as well, if you're had a good growing season, weather-wise. To get at the broad beans, you've got to shuck them out of their pods. Holding each pod with the pointy tip up, pull the string along the side of each bean to open the pod.  Again, depending on the variety, each bean should have 5-10 large beans in each pod, which have a thick waxy shell that needs removed before eating. It takes some work, but getting organized can help to make the process go fast.  The easiest way to do this is to blanch them, dropping the beans in boiling water for a count of five, then removing them immediately with a slotted spoon and putting them right into ice water. This will loosen the shells on each bean. The best way to cook broad beans is the most simple: steam them and serve them simply dressed with salt and pepper. They're big, meaty, and delicious, ideally paired with red...

Article in English: Like other types of foundation, you want to match the skin tone of your face as closely as possible. If you're having trouble picking the right shade, try asking a beautician at a department store or beauty supply shop for assistance. Powder foundations generally work best with oily skin. However, there are now hydrating powder foundations on the market for people with drier skin.

Article in English: Like proxies, there are countless Virtual Private Network (VPN) services available. Popular ones include NordVPN and ExpressVPN, but you're free to choose the one that fits your needs (and price range if you plan on purchasing a membership).  If the firewall or Internet filter that you're attempting to bypass is on a library, work, or school computer, you most likely won't be able to use a VPN since doing so will require changing your computer's settings. Unlike proxies, VPNs will hide any online browsing while they are active. Most VPNs are free to test, but eventually cost a small monthly fee (or a discounted annual one). Most VPNs will require you to create an account in order to sign up, at which point you'll be given a server address, password, username, and/or other information needed in order to connect. If your VPN uses a different type of network than is the default, you'll see information about it as well. The steps for doing so vary depending on your operating system and whether you're using a computer or a mobile item:   Windows - Open Start, click Settings, click Network & Internet, click the VPN tab, and click Add a VPN connection at the top of the page.  Mac - Open the Apple menu, click System Preferences..., click Network, click ＋ in the lower-left corner, click the "Interface" drop-down box, and click VPN.  iPhone - Open Settings, scroll down and tap General, scroll down and tap VPN, and tap Add VPN Configuration....  Android - Open Settings, tap More below the "Wireless & networks" section, tap VPN, and tap ＋ or ADD VPN. This section will vary depending on the kind of VPN you're using, what kind of authentication your VPN requires, and more. If you have any questions about which information to use, check your selected VPN's "Help" page. Once you've finished entering your VPN's information, do the following:   Windows - Click Save at the bottom of the page.  Mac - Click Create, finish configuring your VPN as per your VPN's instructions, and click Apply   iPhone - Tap Done in the top-right...

Article in English: Like secular forms of meditation, mediating on the Word of God requires you to set yourself apart from the noise and distractions of the world long enough to focus on the task at hand.  Multitasking may seem like a valuable skill in today's world, but you won't be able to give any task 100% while trying to balance it with something else. Minimizing your distractions while meditating on God's Word should improve your ability to focus on it. Try to set aside at least 15 to 30 minutes for your meditation. Let any family or roommates know that you need time to yourself to focus, and set yourself apart in a quiet, empty room. Make yourself comfortable, but not so comfortable that you find it hard to stay awake. External silence isn’t the only quiet required for this form of meditation. You also need to pursue internal quiet by setting aside your doubts, fears, and other distracting thoughts. Don’t feel too guilty if your mind initially wanders back to the day’s problems, but don’t let your thoughts dwell there, either. As soon as you notice yourself getting sidelined by anxieties or other concerns, take a moment to pause and consciously redirect your attention back to God. Praying for rededicated focus at that moment may also help. Open the Bible and read the verse or verses you plan to meditate over. Spend as much time as you need to gain a basic understanding of the words, then bookmark the verse for later; you’ll need to refer to it continually throughout your meditation.  After you read through the passage, try reading through it again. This time, speak the words out loud and intentionally emphasize different portions by your tone, and open yourself to new revelations as you do so. Repeat this exercise as often as needed or desired during your meditation. If necessary, you may also wish to improve your understanding using other tools. Research the cultural context. Read through verses that are similar in tone or topic. Look up unfamiliar words in a dictionary or thesaurus. Spend a few minutes praying to God...

Article in English: Like the actual console, the wires need to properly connected. Make sure that your controller is plugged into slot number 1. Also, push it in all the way. It might not be working because the wires are not pushed in fully. Make sure they are before continuing to the next steps. If the wires look bent or used, they might be broken inside. While you won't be able to check the inside of the wires, you can still look for evidence on the outside of the cover. Evidence of a broken wire includes broken, chewed up or cracked casing. The part where the wire goes into the control is most vulnerable to breaking. It's very easy for dust and grime to clog up your console's controller slots. This might stop the wires from sending the correct signals to the PlayStation. To fix this, gently clean out the controller slots with a cloth wrapped around your index finger. Also clean the wires connected to the controller. These too might be clogged up with dirt and dust.

Article in English: Like the members of many other modern subcultures, twee people prefer to do their shopping at vintage, retro, and thrift stores rather than at new clothing stores. These stores have two big advantages — they save money, which can be tight for someone who has a stereotypically twee profession (like "card writer" — see Her and 500 Days of Summer) and they also sell old, worn, and out-of-fashion clothes, which make up the majority of a twee person's wardrobe. In general, the goal of twee fashion is to cultivate a "retro", endearingly gawky aesthetic. There are many different ways to do this — read on for more info. Twee people love their accessories. To a twee person, each accessory is a chance to add a new bit of retro, "cool-but-uncool" flavor to their outfit. Look for unconventional or out-of fashion belts, jewelry, purses, backpacks, shoes, and more to give the perfect finishing touches to your twee ensemble. In addition, you'll want to wear glasses if you can. These classic twee accessories instantly can give almost anyone a bookish, intellectual look, making them the perfect complement to any twee outfit. When possible, go with older styles of glasses like horn rims, wayfarers, and so on. It's only natural that, with tastes that favor intellectual pursuits, twee people can tend to dress in a way that's somewhat nerdy. There's a big difference between wearing a pocket protector and being "twee-nerdy", however — while "ordinary" nerd style usually comes about when someone inadvertently wears something unflattering, "twee-nerdy" style is completely intentional and, thus, can look pretty chic. Below are just a few nerdy fashion ideas:  For men: Skinny jeans or colored chinos, vintage printed shirts with dorky patterns (tucked in), older formal wear. For women: Skirts/jumpers, gawky glasses, plastic barrettes, tops with dorky prints, "librarian-esque" outfits. For the twee person who's into the outdoors, nerdy clothes may not be the best fit. In this case, it's time to fully embrace the twee love of autumnal...

Article in English: Like the vast majority of human beings, most girls won't want to ask to be treated well - they'll want you to spontaneously treat them well. If your girlfriend constantly has to ask for the things she likes in your relationship - like for you to hold her hand, listen when she talks, remember her birthday, and so on - these special things are robbed of the joy they might otherwise bring. This can even make her feel isolated or needy. So try to stay on the ball - make an effort to treat your girlfriend with respect without her having to ask you. It's hard to be a steady presence in your girlfriend's life (and vice versa) if you rarely talk to her. Though every couple will have a different natural "rhythm" of communication, generally, you should try to meet, call, or, at the very least, text your girlfriend once or twice a week, if not more. This should stem from a natural urge to want to know what she's been up to - what minor accomplishments she's made in the last few days, what challenges she's faced, and so on. Be sure to contact your girlfriend on your own - don't just respond to her calls and texts. Taking the initiative to make that crucial first contact with your girlfriend demonstrates that you want her as much as she wants you. Nothing is less romantic than a man who loses sight of what's really important in life in favor of his money or possessions. Your girlfriend should always take precedence over material pleasures. For instance, don't skip your anniversary dinner to wax your new car. Don't neglect your girlfriend for weeks to play an addictive video game. Don't devote your every waking hour to your work. Keep your life in perspective - genuine love is a longer-lasting source of joy than any material gains you can ever hope to make. This being said, a good girlfriend will never willingly ask you to do things that are bad for your financial health. Though the mythical "gold-digger" is much rarer in real life than popular culture may lead you to believe, beware of women that pressure you into buying...

Article in English: Like using a humidifier, exposing yourself to a steamy environment brings moisture to dry mucus membranes.  Use this as an excuse to take a long, hot, steamy shower from time to time.  Another steaming method is to boil a pot of water, remove it from the heat, place a towel over your head, and lean over the steaming pot.  Check to make sure the steam isn’t too hot first.  You can also buy fairly inexpensively steamers to place in a room or next to your bed. This tends to be more effective than boiling water. Salt kills germs in the mouth and throat and helps to relieve dryness and irritation. Gargling with salt couple times a day will help to soothe a dry throat.  Add 1 teaspoon of salt to a small amount of hot water. Let this cool for a bit and then add colder water. Gargle 1-2 times a day for 30-60 seconds each time. Spit once you’ve gargled. Do not swallow the salt water. Some people also gargle with an apple cider vinegar solution (1 tablespoon per cup of water).  It won’t taste great, but it may work for you. This one tastes better than saltwater or cider vinegar at least! Along with the coating properties of its thick texture, honey also has antiseptic properties.  No wonder bees love it. Sucking on lozenges or hard candies, as well as chewing gum, help stimulate saliva production, which can in turn soothe a dry throat. Stick to sugar-free versions -- your dentist will thank you. Most people find that warm liquids provide a soothing effect, so low-caffeine tea, perhaps with honey and lemon, can prove a good choice for dry throat relief.  Common herbal teas like chamomile can provide relief, but some people swear by teas made from ingredients like peppermint, ginger, cloves, licorice root, marshmallow root, echinacea, and slippery elm.  Consider adding some honey or cinnamon to your tea, too. Both are thought to have great healing powers.

Article in English: Like with pants, different types of flats look better with certain dress and skirt lengths. This section will give you a few tips on how to pair your flats with skirts and dresses. This will help your legs look longer. Mini skirts are especially great for this. If you are wearing a longer skirt, make sure that there is no skin showing between the hem of the skirt and the top of the boots. Try to match the color to your shoes. You can also go for a pair of sheer, nude tights as well. A-line and pencil skirts work great with pointy-toed flats and dressy sandals.

Article in English: Like women, the female guppy will get larger, as if it's being inflated. Sometimes this can just be bloating and not pregnancy. But if you monitor your guppy’s belly for several weeks and it continues to get bigger over time, your guppy is probably pregnant. Your female guppy is getting close to delivery time when the she is very large and has a boxy appearance. It takes about a month for the fry to be ready for birth. It'll take a couple weeks for a gravid spot (a spot near the butt of the guppy) to appear darker. When it does darken, this will prove that your guppy is pregnant. It may be orange or dark in the beginning, but through the pregnancy it can change between these two. You can tell that your guppy is very close to having the babies when you can see little dots (the baby guppies’ eyes) in the gravid spot. Another major sign that your guppy is in labor is the appearance of body contractions. This will look like a tightening of the muscles on the surface of your guppy’s body and then they will become looser. This process may repeat itself many times during labor – tightening muscles, then becoming more relaxed.

Article in English: Like you would with other types of exercise, it's important to warm up before you start exerting yourself in the garden. Stretch your legs, arms, and hands before you start so that they will be prepared for the work ahead. You should spend at least 5 to 10 minutes warming up before gardening. In order to improve your health by getting exercise in the garden, you should do it regularly. Working in your garden for several hours over the course of the week, for instance, 30 minutes daily, can give you some much needed regular exercise. Getting 30 minutes of moderate exercise every day can lower your blood pressure and cholesterol. It can also help prevent diabetes and heart disease, as well as slow the development of osteoporosis. As with other types of exercise, it's a good idea to vary the types of movements you do while getting exercise in the garden. If you have a variety of tasks to do in the garden, set a specific amount of time you will do each and then rotate between them, even if you don't complete a task in your set amount of time. This variation in tasks can be especially helpful if you have one that is hard on the body, such as kneeling to weed garden beds. Weeding for 15 to 20 minutes at a time and then taking a break to do another activity will help to avoid pain or overexertion. When working in the garden you need to be careful and intentional about how you lift and stretch. For example, use proper lifting technique when moving heavy bags of soil or fertilizer. This entails using the strength of your legs instead of depending on your back muscles. Additionally, you should squat instead of kneeling when possible, maintain the natural curve of your back, and avoid twisting while lifting heavy loads. In order for gardening to count as exercise, you need to raise your heart rate and put out some physical effort while doing it. This means that just standing around watering doesn't really count as exercise.  Some things to do in the garden to raise your heart rate include digging, raking leaves,...

Article in English: Like you, your pet needs to eat regularly, so make sure he gets his meals on schedule. Make sure you know what kind of food your pet should get, how much of it, and when he should be fed.  You should only feed him proper pet food, so no table scraps or treats. Don’t forget to make sure your pet also has a supply of clean water. If the dish still has water in it, but it looks dirty, rinse it out and refill it. This is a good thing to talk about with your whole family, so everyone knows who is supposed to feed your pets and when. You don’t want to overfeed or underfeed him. If your pet lives in a cage or tank, make sure you clean it regularly. Replace newspaper in the bottom of bird, rodent, and reptile cages, change the bulbs in heat lamps for reptiles, and clean out the water in fish tanks so that your pet has a comfortable place to live. If you have a place for your pet to use the bathroom, whether in the cage or a litter box, make sure you clean that out regularly as well. Your pet is part of your family, and you should want to spend time with him. This is especially important for active animals like dogs, but also smaller pets like mice or hamsters.  Even cats will want some time with family members, so go ahead and pet him or let him curl up with you for a nap. Make sure you keep an eye on your pets, especially if they are smaller. You don’t want a gerbil or lizard getting loose in the house. Be nice and friendly to your pets. If you are mean or aggressive, your pets won’t like that. They will either become more aggressive to you, which could mean biting or scratching, or they will become afraid, and not want to play with you. This is another great way to spend time with your pets for exercise, and one less chore for your parents to do. Make sure you have a leash or other equipment to keep a hold of your pet so he doesn’t run away or get into trouble. If you have a dog, or another pet that needs to use the bathroom outside, remember to bring a bag so you can pick up his poop to throw away. If your pet has...

Article in English: Like your hands, your nails should be washed regularly. When washing your hands, make sure to gently scrub the surface of your nails. You should also scrub the undersides with soap and water to remove harmful bacteria trapped under the nails. When nails are wet, bacteria can more easily grow underneath your fingernails. Always dry your nails thoroughly after washing them. You should wear gloves when doing household chores, like washing dishes or cleaning with products containing chemicals. Like your skin, your nails may need moisturizer on occasion as well. Water can dry out natural oils in nails, which need replenishing with an over-the-counter moisturizer. When using lotion, make sure to rub some moisturizer onto the surface of each nail.  Pick a gentle moisturizer free of a lot of chemicals or added scents. If you develop a rash after starting a new moisturizer, cease use. You may have a mild allergy to that brand. You should clean clippers and other nail grooming equipment regularly. This can prevent you nails from getting exposed to bacteria. You can clean toenail and fingernail clippers with antibacterial soap and water. Make sure to dry completely before use. Toenails can sometimes become thick and difficult to trim. If this is the case, soak your toenails in warm water before cutting. Mix a teaspoon of salt in with a pint of water. Soak your toenails for 5 to 10 minutes before trying to trim them.

Berry blue and grape are not recommended either. Don't skimp on this step—the water needs to be actually boiling to effectively dissolve the powder, and the mixture won't set if you use less than 4 oz. If you used 1-3/4 cups of vodka, you will be able to make eighteen 1-oz. (30 ml) shots, or nine 2-oz. (60 ml) shots.

Article in English: Lime juice is most commonly used in cuisine from Mexico, Latin America, Hawaii, and other island countries. You can search for recipes from these regions to make use of your lime juice, or you could add a splash of lime juice in toward the end of your cooking to flavor otherwise bland dishes like soups or pastas. Cilantro is an especially common herb to use with lime juice. Coconut is another worthwhile flavor to match with lime juice and brings a nice node of sweetness to the sourness of lime. Rice absorbs flavor as it cooks, so adding 1 or 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 milliliters) of lime juice can give it a tangy, exotic flavor. The citrus in lime also makes rice fluffier, but the effect is not as pronounced as it is when using a stronger citrus like lemon juice. Alternatively, you can also create coconut lime rice by substituting half or all of the water for coconut milk and adding 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 milliliters) of lime juice. This rice will be heavy rather than fluffy due to the effect of the coconut milk. Key limes are smaller than other lime varieties and have a sharper, more pronounced sourness that creates an interesting contrast in otherwise sweet desserts. Key lime pie is the most common lime baked good, but you can also create cakes, cheesecakes, ice cream, and more using the juice of key limes. While not as commonly used as lemon juice, lime juice can add a refreshing splash of citrus to a variety of drinks. One or two teaspoons of lime juice works especially well in water, but you can also try adding a splash to a lemon-lime drink or other soda. Alternatively, you can use lime juice to create limeade. Lime juice can give an old sauce recipe new dimension. Try adding 1 or 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 milliliters) of lime juice to a standard barbecue or marinara sauce. Stir the lime juice in and warm the sauce so that the flavors can blend. A simple vinaigrette dressing combines olive oil and vinegar in a ratio of 3 to 1. For an exotic twist, you can skip the vinegar and add lime juice in the same...

Article in English: Limit processed or prepared foods because they typically have higher amounts of sugar and sodium. Instead, cook from scratch using fresh produce, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid boxed, canned, and “ready to eat” foods as much as possible.  Start shopping in the bulk section of your grocery store to get a better price for beans, rice, and pasta. Buy fresh vegetables as much as possible. Frozen vegetables are fine, but fresh, organic, in-season vegetables are the best choice. If you are pressed for time, try using a crock pot to cook your meals. Complex carbohydrates are made up of individual sugar molecules that are strung together in long, complicated and often branched chains.  Complex carbohydrates are found in whole, unprocessed foods. Examples of complex carbohydrates include whole grain bread, brown rice, buckwheat, millet, quinoa, oats, starchy vegetables such as sweet potatoes, corn, pumpkin and squash, beans, peas, lentils, nuts and seeds. Avoid simple carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates include added sugars like glucose, sucrose (table sugar), and fructose (most often added as high fructose corn syrup or HFCS).  Consuming HFCS has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and obesity. Water helps flush out naturally produced toxins and helps maintain mineral (electrolyte) balance. Aim for about 8 to 12 cups (1.9 to 2.8 L) of water per day. Talk to your doctor to determine if you have any special fluid restrictions or needs that you should consider.  Skip sugary beverages. Sugar by itself does not cause diabetes, but ingesting more sugar-filled beverages is linked to an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes. Try drinking water, unsweetened sparkling water, or unsweetened iced tea instead of sugary soda. Reading labels can help you determine the amount of sugars in food. Just keep in mind that manufacturers are not required to list added sugars. That is why it is best to choose whole, unprocessed foods as often as possible.  Avoid any food that includes terms like “enriched” or...

Stick to a clear liquid diet to stay hydrated and keep your electrolytes in balance without stressing your stomach.  Have 5-6 small “meals” throughout the day, or just sip on these fluids every few minutes as you can tolerate it. The clear liquid diet includes:  Water (carbonated and flavored waters are okay) Fruit juice with no pulp, fruit punch, and lemonade Bubbly drinks, including soda (though it's important to choose sugar- and caffeine-free options) Gelatin Coffee and tea (decaffeinated, without dairy) Strained tomato or vegetable juice Sports drinks (drink these in addition to other items, not just by themselves – they contain too much sugar to be helpful alone) Clear broth (not creamy soup) Honey and sugar, and hard candy like lemon drops and peppermints Ice pops (no fruit or dairy) By the second day you may be able to add some dry, semi-solid foods to your diet. Eat these in small amounts. If you do not tolerate it, go back to the clear liquid diet and try again later. Choose foods that are bland and low in fat and fiber.  Try the BRAT diet, containing bland foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. Other good options are crackers, noodles, and mashed potatoes. Stay away from highly-seasoned foods. Some salt is okay, but don't eat anything spicy. Foods high in fiber are likely to produce gas and worsen diarrhea. Skip fresh vegetables and fruits (other than bananas) until you feel better. Whole wheats and brans are also high in fiber. Note, however, that fiber can help regulate your bowels in the long run. If you have frequent problems with diarrhea, consider consuming more fiber in your diet to help regulate your system. Foods high in fat are likely to worsen diarrhea and stomach pain. Until you're 100% well, avoid red meat, butter, margarine, whole dairy products, fried food, and processed, prepackaged, and fast food. Limit fat to <15 grams per day. One possible cause of diarrhea, gas, and bloating is lactose...

Article in English: Line a baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil or parchment paper. If the fillets still have skin on them, lay them on the sheet with the skin facing down. If the fillets do not have skin on them, it does not matter which side faces down. Brush the fillets with just enough olive oil to coat them. The oil helps the fish to stay moist inside the dry heat of the oven. Add salt and pepper to taste, over the olive oil. Salmon can be baked without a sauce, but it absorbs flavor well and a sauce can help the salmon stay even more moist. You can create a basic sauce by whisking together the yogurt, honey, mustard, and dill in a small bowl. The salmon does not need to soak in the sauce, but you should try to spread the sauce evenly over the top of each fillet. Like all fish, salmon cooks quickly. It should be ready within about 20 minutes. Test the fish with a fork when you pull it out of the oven. If the salmon flakes easily in looks opaque, it should be ready.

Article in English: Line a large baking tray with nonstick aluminum foil or parchment paper. Combine the two ingredients in a large bowl, stirring thoroughly to blend them into a cohesive glaze.  If the honey is too thick, you may wish to microwave the mixture for five seconds or so to help liquify it. Doing so should make it easier to combine the two ingredients.  If you'd like to add more dimension to this recipe, you could try adding both honey and maple syrup; stick with a total of 1/4 cup (60 ml), but vary the proportions according to your own sense of taste. Pour the cashews into the mixing bowl. Stir and toss the cashews in the honey and cayenne mixture to coat them evenly, then transfer the coated cashews to your prepared baking tray. Make sure to spread the cashews evenly across the baking tray to form one layer. Otherwise, your cashews will not roast evenly; some may burn while others remain too raw. Remove the cashews after this time and stir using a large spoon or spatula. This coats your cashews evenly with the sweet and spicy mixture, and promotes even cooking. The nuts should smell pleasantly strong and look slightly darkened when finished. Make sure that you stir the cashews every three to five minutes as they finish cooking. If you cook them without stirring, they’ll be more likely to burn or cook unevenly. Remove the cashews and let cool for five minutes, then sprinkle the warm nuts with the sugar and salt. Toss gently to coat. It may help to combine the sugar and salt in a small, clean bowl prior to sprinkling the ingredients over the cashews. Mixing them beforehand will make it easier to distribute an even amount of both over the nuts. Let the nuts cool fully before serving, or transfer them to an airtight storage container for later enjoyment. These cashews should stay good for about one week when kept at room temperature.

Article in English: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon sheet.  Keep in a single layer; don't overlap. Dip a pastry brush into the bowl and brush both sides of each baguette slice. You'll need to keep re-dipping in the olive oil. This step is optional but if liked, you can sprinkle the top of each piece with salt and pepper or perhaps with a spice such as paprika or sumac. Bake for 5-6 minutes, then remove and turn over the slices. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-6 minutes or until golden. Place on a cooling rack to cool completely. If storing, keep in an airtight container. These will keep for weeks if the container remains airtight.

Article in English: Line the fine-mesh strainer with a large piece of cheesecloth, and set it over the nonreactive bowl. Set this contraption on your work surface so to have it ready for the cheese mixture. If you don't use cheesecloth, it will be difficult to separate the cheese curds from the whey. You can substitute a double layer of paper towels or a thin cotton dishcloth in a pinch. Place the milk, cream and salt in the saucepan and heat the mixture over medium-high heat. Allow it to heat until it reaches 200 degrees F. When the mixture is hot enough, turn off the heat and move the saucepan so the milk can begin to cool. It should take about 5 minutes to reach the correct temperature.  Stir the mixture as it's heating to prevent it from scorching on the bottom.  Use your candy thermometer or an instant-read thermometer to determine whether the mixture has reached the right temperature. If you don't let it cook long enough, the curds won't separate from the whey. If you overcook it, the texture will be ruined. Use one hand to stir constantly while the other hand slowly pours the vinegar into the heated milk and cream mixture. The vinegar will cause the curds to coagulate and separate from the whey. You'll see solid bits forming and floating to the top of the liquid. Keep stirring until all of the vinegar has been added.  The curdling agent in this case is vinegar, but some people prefer to use other substances. Try substituting 3 tablespoons (44.4 ml) of lemon juice for a different flavor. For a more traditional touch, try using animal rennet as your coagulant. Mix 1 teaspoon of rennet with 1/4 cup of cold water, then stir it into the milk mixture. Wait about 10 - 20  minutes for the coagulant to go to work and cause the curds to separate from the whey. It's ready when the curds have floated to the top to form a thick layer, leaving the liquid whey underneath. Scoop out the thick top layer of curds and ladle them over the cheesecloth-covered strainer. Keep ladling out the curds until all that's left in the saucepan is the...

Article in English: Line the pan with aluminum foil. Drizzle 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of the extra-virgin olive oil over the foil and brush it evenly with a pastry brush. Set the pan aside while you prepare the fish. Keep in mind that this will make more than you need for the recipe, but you can store it in an airtight container for several months. For the seasoning, stir together:  3 tablespoons (20 g) paprika 1 teaspoon (5.5 g) salt 1 tablespoons (6.5 g) onion powder 1 teaspoon (2 g) black pepper 1/4 to 1 teaspoon (0.5 to 2 g) cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon (2 g) dried thyme 1 teaspoon (2 g) dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) garlic powder Take out 1 pound (453 g) of frozen tilapia fillets and rinse them under cold water. Pat the fish dry with paper towels and lay them on the prepared sheet pan. with oil and the blackening mix. Brush the fillets with the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil. Take 3 tablespoons (24 g) of the blackening seasoning and sprinkle both sides of the fillets with it. Use your fingers to rub the seasoning into the tilapia. If you don't have cooking spray, use a pastry brush to give the fillets a light coating of extra-virgin olive or canola oil. Put the fish in the preheated oven and cook them until they turn dark brown. Test to see if the fish is finished cooking by dragging a fork across the center of a fillet. The fish is done if it flakes easily. If not, return the fish to the oven for another 5 minutes. Serve the blackened tilapia with tartar sauce, hushpuppies, and coleslaw. Refrigerate the tilapia for 3 to 4 days in an airtight container.

Article in English: Line up the numbers so the 2 is above the 7, the 5 is above the 4, and so on. In this method, we'll learn how to add integers that are too large to do in your head or on a number line. Write a + to the left of the bottom number, and a line underneath it, just as you probably learned to do for smaller addition problems. It might seem a little odd to start from the right, since when reading numbers we start from the left. We have to add in this order to get the right answer, though, as you'll see later on. Underneath the two numbers to the right, 3 and 1, write what you get when you add them together: 4. Moving left, you'll add 0+6, 5+4, and 2+7. Write the answers below each pair of numbers. You should end up with the answer to the problem: 9,964. Check your work if you made a mistake. You should notice something different as soon as add the first pair of numbers on the right. 7+5 equals 12, a two digit number, but you can only write one digit beneath that column. Keep reading to find out what to do, and why you always need to start on the right instead of the left. 7+5=12, but you shouldn't put both the 1 and the 2 underneath the bottom line. Instead, put the last digit, 2, underneath the line and put the first digit, 1, above the column to the left, 5+3. If you're curious about how this works, think about what dividing the 1 and 2 means. You've actually split 12 into 10 and 2. You can write the full 10 above the numbers if you want, and you'll see that the 1 lines up with the 5 and 3, just like before. You now have three digits to add for this number, since you added a 1 to this column. The answer is 9, so your answer so far should be 92. Keep moving left until you've added all the numbers, in this case just one more column. Your final answer should be 992.  You can try more complicated problems, like 974+568. Remember, each time you get a two digit number, only write the last digit as the answer, and put the other digit above the column to the left, the one you'll add together next. If the last column ends...

Article in English: Linear equations have distinct components. The variable is the symbol (usually a letter like x or y) for a number you do not yet know. The constant is a number that remains consistent. The coefficient is a number before a variable, which is used to multiply it. For example, in the linear equation 2x + 4y = 8, x and y are variables. The constant is 8. The numbers 2 and 4 are coefficients. A system of equations with two variables can be written as follows:ax + by = pcx + dy = qAny of the constants (p, q) can be zero, with the exception that each equation must have at least one variable (x, y) in it. When you have a linear system, you can use a matrix to rewrite it, then use the algebraic properties of that matrix to solve it. To rewrite a linear system, you use A to represent the coefficients matrix, C to represent the constants matrix, and X to represent the unknown matrix. The linear system above, for example, can be rewritten as a matrix equation as follows: A x X = C. An augmented matrix is a matrix obtained by appending columns of two matrices. If you have two matrices, A and C, which looks like this:You can create an augmented matrix by putting them together. The augmented matrix would look like this: For example, consider the following linear system:2x + 4y = 8x + y = 2Your augmented matrix would be a 2x3 matrix that looks like this:

Article in English: Lined paper will help you write each letter evenly and uniformly. It will also help to distinguish the difference in size of the upper case and the lower case letters.  Lined paper is especially useful when learning how to write the alphabet in cursive, as the loops and dashes of cursive can be difficult to complete without the use of lines as a guide. When learning how to write cursive letters, start with lowercase letters first, followed by uppercase letters. Lowercase letters are more accessible and will give you a beginner’s sense of how to write cursive letters. Start with downward slope, making a lowercase O shape. At the top left side of the O, draw a line sloping downward and curving out at the end. This is a. Make an upward slope and then loop it around as you make a downward slope. Continue the downward slope to make a lowercase U shape. End the U with a small curve to the right side. This is b. Start with a curve in the center of the page. Slope downward in a circle and then end the slope with a long slope towards the right side of the paper. The slope can move upward at the end of the letter. This is c. Make a round, lowercase O shape. Then, draw a vertical line from the top of the page down the meet the right ride of the O. Curve the slope out at the bottom towards the right side of the paper. This is d. Start with a slope upward to the middle line of the paper. Make a loop and then end the letter with a long slope towards the right of the paper. This is e. This is one of the more challenging letters, so don’t be afraid to practice it several times. Start with a long slope upward, forming the beginning of a lowercase b. Bring the bottom of the loop downward to form another loop underneath the lowest line on the paper. Draw the end of the loop towards the right side of the paper in an upward curve. This is f. Start with a round O shape. At the bottom right side of the O, add a slope that moves downward, underneath the last line of the paper and then curves back upward. This is g. Make an upward...

Article in English: Lined paper will help you write each letter evenly and uniformly. It will also help to distinguish the difference in size of the upper case and the lower case letters. If you are teaching your child how to write the alphabet, ask them questions as they write each letter. Once they finish writing the letter “A” and the letter “B”, for example, have a chat about the differences between each letter. Ask your child, “what differences do you see between each letter?” This will help your child remember each letter and start to get a sense of the different shapes of each letter. First draw a circle. When you get to the spot where you started the circle, make one vertical line: |This is a. Draw a vertical line: | , and then a lowercase, backwards c that joins the vertical line. This is b. You write c the same way whether it is in uppercase or lowercase, but if you are writing lowercase, make your c smaller than an uppercase C, so it's the same size as the other lowercase letters. This is c. Lowercase d is written like a backwards b (step 2 under lowercase). Draw a vertical line, and then to the left of it, draw a lowercase, backwards c. This is d. You draw lowercase e with quite a few curves. First, draw a short, horizontal line. Curve it round to make a c shape, with a line in the middle. This is e. Draw a curve, and bring it down in a vertical line. Just above the middle of the letter, draw a short horizontal line across the vertical one. This is f. Draw a c, and then an upside down, lowercase f (step 6 under lowercase, without the horizontal line in the middle) below it. This is g.

Article in English: Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper will prevent the seeds from sticking the best, though you can also use aluminum foil. Once the oven is preheated, you're ready to roast your seeds. Pour the seasoned pumpkin seeds onto the lined baking sheet, using a spoon to spread them out. Try to make sure they aren’t clumped together and are laying flat so they roast evenly. If your pumpkin seeds end up layered on top of one another, try baking them in two smaller batches to promote even roasting. Remove the baking sheet from the oven every 10 minutes and move the seeds around using a wooden spoon or other kitchen utensil—this will help ensure each seed roasts evenly. Once the seeds look browned, they’re done! Once the seeds have been removed and the oven is turned off, use a spatula to scoop the seeds into a bowl or other serving dish. You can eat them while they’re still warm from the oven, or let them sit for a few minutes until they’re cool. If you want to save your roasted pumpkin seeds, put them in an airtight container such as a mason jar, plastic bag, or piece of tupperware. The seeds will stay fresh for a week or so at room temperature, or you can place them in the freezer for up to a month.  If placing the seeds in the freezer, they should be in an airtight container as well. Write the date on the container so you remember when the seeds were roasted.

Article in English: LinkedIn is at its best when you know exactly what you want to do, and just need to find the right people to talk to. Spend the most time making sure your profile has a concrete list of your achievements and notes the special skills, qualifications, publications and such that you have.  If you have been quoted in the press, have a patent, or have a similar "wow" in your background, state it on your profile.   Lying on a resume is never a good idea, but it is worse in LinkedIn.  Potential employers can use your own LinkedIn connections to check up on you. Do not worry too much about filling out the recommendations and skills on your LinkedIn profile.  Employers pretty much discount recommendations as being sappy and always positive.  The skills are only useful for keyword searches. Building out your profile with the right skills can on occasion make highly qualified jobs come to you, instead of the usual other way around.  It is still unlikely to get hit up out of the blue for a job, but it can happen.  It mostly happens to people who have specific skills an employer is looking for. You can simply go to the Jobs tab on LinkedIn to find jobs that may fit your preferences.   LinkedIn job postings are helpful, and you should look for them.  Compared to free message boards, they tend to have higher quality jobs, and it is very unlikely that you would find anything unsavory or dangerous.  Still, they are "just a job board." LinkedIn searching is best if you have a specific skill that an employer is hiring for. You may find an employer looking for someone exactly like you. Job seeker premium is best for helping you find specific people and/or specific companies.  It costs between USD$20 - USD$50 per month.

New college graduates Hourly employees When you contact someone via LinkedIn, it will be natural for them to check out your company profile first thing, so you want them to find the information there helpful and putting the company in the best light.   Search LinkedIn to see your current company profile.  For example, the wikiHow entry is here: https://www.linkedin.com/company/wikihow/about/.  Look at the "Careers" section in particular. If the company profile is not to your liking, ask the right person at your company to update it.  Your marketing people may have specific thoughts as to the content, so you want to keep them in the loop. If there is no company profile, set it up from the Companies>Add a Company.

Article in English: Lip balm often works to fill scratches in game discs. First, remove any excess dirt and grime by rinsing the disc off with running water. Use a lip balm without any colors, flavors, or glitter. Run the lip balm up and down the length of the scratch. Do this several times so that a fair amount of lip balm is applied. Repeat for any additional scratches on the disc. After applying several layers to the scratch, use a soft cloth to buff the balm in small circular motions. Continue buffing until all excess wax has been removed. You should notice that the scratches are much less visible than before. After you've buffed out all of the excess lip balm, you can try using the disc again. Make sure all of the excess balm has been removed before inserting the disc into your console.

Article in English: Lip compression may be a negative reaction when telling a lie. People testifying often compress their lips just before relaying something negative. Get through a tough line of questioning with relaxed lips. Whether your breathing increases or even hyperventilates, it’s usually a sign that you are nervous or psychologically uncomfortable. Even taking a long deep breath can be a sign that you are collecting yourself before a lie. Many people unconsciously touch their neck when they are nervous or anxious. Usually, people reach for the dimple of their neck. Many may adjust their tie or fidget with it instead of touching their neck. A contentious topic or difficult conversation may cause you to turn your body away. You may subtly shift in your seat and turn your stomach away from an accuser or from someone you are lying to. You may even create a barrier by crossing your legs while still keeping eye contact. Keep your torso facing your listener especially if they have just asked you a question that you need to lie to answer. People may reach for their glasses or rub their eyes when in a difficult conversation. Keep your hands in a neutral and natural position when telling a lie to avoid suspicion. Hiding or lowering your thumbs may reveal that you are insecure or aren’t committed to your statement. When people are more emphatic they tend to have their thumbs straight and apart. Any changes in your regular speech patterns and behaviors may raise suspicions. Some people may talk faster, high-pitched, or give more errors in speech when nervous. Liars also want to convince you of a lie, so they may repeat details to hammer it home. Avoid overly repetitive information as you speak naturally.  Liars may probe with repetitive information and their spoken words may be weaker at the start and end of a statement as they try to read their listener to see if their lie is being believed. Repetition may be difficult to read especially if using a cellphone as coverage may become spotty and cause repetition. Cultural context may...

Article in English: Lipomas generally appear as dome-shaped lumps that can range in size, usually between the size of a pea and roughly 3 centimetres (1.2 in) in length. If you have a lump under the skin on your body this size, it may be a lipoma.  Some lipomas may be larger than 3 centimetres (1.2 in). Additionally, you might not be able to fully feel them. These lumps are formed by an abnormal and rapid increase of fat cells in the area. However, if your bump is larger, harder, and less mobile, it may be a cyst. Additionally, cysts may feel tender, could become infected, and might drain. Lipoma tumors are generally pretty soft to the touch, meaning that they will move under your finger if you press down on them. These sort of tumors are only slightly attached to the area surrounding them, so while they will stay relatively in place, you will be able to make it move around slightly under your skin.  This will help you determine whether you have a lipoma, a tumor, or a cyst. Cysts and tumors have more defined shapes and are firmer, compared to a lipoma. If the lipoma is deep in your tissue, which is rare, it may be hard to feel its firmness and to determine its overall size. While lipoma tumors are generally painless because the lumps don't have any nerves, they can sometimes become painful if they grow in certain spots on your body. For example, if the tumor is near a nerve and the tumor starts to grow, it might put pressure on the nerve, causing pain. Talk to your doctor if you start feeling pain near a lipoma spot. Check with your doctor if you notice a new mass growing or if a lump changes shape or size. It's important to get a qualified diagnosis rather than self-diagnosing your problem so that you can get proper treatment for your condition. Your doctor will be able to determine the difference between a lipoma and other types of tumors and cysts.

Article in English: Liposuction is an invasive type of surgery and can have many complications. It’s important to pay attention to your doctor’s post-op instructions and ask any questions you may have. This can help ensure that you heal properly and minimize your risk of complications.  You may want to ask your doctor questions about recovery at your last appointment before your surgery so that you understand everything. Make sure that whoever accompanies you to the surgery also pays attention to the doctor’s instruction in case you are too weary from the surgery or anesthetic to pay close attention. Whether you have your surgery in a hospital or as an outpatient, you will require at least a few days of rest. Generally, you can return to work or school after a few days.  Discuss the amount of rest time you may need with your doctor.  The recovery period is directly related to the size of the surgical area and amount of fat your doctor removed. If you had a larger area treated, you may need more time to recover.  Prepare your home and bedroom before you leave for your surgery. A comfortable environment, including a cozy mattress, pillows, and bedding can help you rest and heal more effectively. Following the surgery, your doctor will apply bandages and possibly also compression garments. Wearing compression bandages and garments can help maintain pressure on the area, stop bleeding, and keep the contours from the surgery.  Some doctors do not provide compression garments. You will need to purchase these either before or immediately after your surgery. You can find compression bandages and garments at pharmacies and medical supply stores.  It’s important to wear the compression garments. They provide support after surgery as well as helping reduce swelling and bruising and improving circulation, which can promote healing.  You will probably want to purchase compression garments designed specifically for the area of your body on which you had surgery. For example, if you had liposuction on your thighs, you would want two...

Article in English: Liposuction removes fat cells permanently, but if you gain weight, it may alter you results or the fat may return to the site at which you had surgery. Maintain your weight to help your surgery result keep the appearance you desire.   It’s best to keep a steady weight. While it might not affect you significantly to gain or lose a pound or two, gaining larger amounts may significantly alter your results. Staying active and keeping a healthy diet can help you maintain your weight. Eating healthy, balanced, and regular meals can help maintain your weight. Foods that have moderate fat, complex carbohydrates, and are high in nutrients, for example, are best for your general health.  Stick to a diet of about 1,800-2,200 nutrient-rich calories a day, depending on how active you are.  You will get proper nutrition if you incorporate foods from the five food groups every day. The five food groups are: fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, and dairy.  You need 1-1.5 cups of fruit per day. You can get this from eating whole fruits such as raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries, or from drinking 100% fruit juice. Make sure to vary the fruits you choose so that you get a range of nutrients and don’t process them in any way. For example, eating a cup of pure berries is much cleaner than eating berries on top of a cake. You need 2.5-3 cups of vegetables per day. You can get this from eating whole vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, or peppers, or from drinking 100% vegetable juice. Make sure to vary the vegetables you choose so that you get a range of nutrients. Fruits and vegetables are an excellent source of fiber. Fiber will also help you to maintain your weight.  You need between 5-8 ounces of grains per day, of which ½ should be whole grains. You can get grains and whole grains from foods such as brown rice, whole wheat pasta or bread, oatmeal, or cereal. Grains will provide you with vital Vitamin B, which can help aid slowed digestion.  You need 5-6.5 ounces of protein per day. You can get protein from lean meats...

Article in English: Liquid bandage works to seal your cut, keeping moisture in and germs out. It can last up to a week effectively. It can be a great option for children’s hands because you don’t need to apply a bandaid over the top. (Even though children often enjoy having a bandaid on, it can be a struggle to keep it on and the wound clean and protected.) Clean the skin with soap and warm water. Pat dry. It’s especially important when you have dry skin or go out into the cold throughout the day to properly dry your hands every time after washing them. It acts like glue, filling the cut and sealing it. It’s most effective for small and superficial wounds. It doesn’t need to be covered with a bandage. Avoid picking at it. It will typically take between five and 10 days for it to fall off. At that point, the cut should be healed.

Article in English: Liquid hand soap is gentle enough to be used on satin shoes. Apply a pea-sized drop of liquid hand soap to a damp cloth. Once you apply hand soap to the damp towel, create a lather by rubbing. Try rubbing two sides of the cloth against each other to create a lather. Starting at the top of the shoes, gently dab all the stains with the damp, soapy cloth. Do not rub the soapy cloth on the stains, as this can discolor the shoe. After dabbing the soap on the stain, immediately rinse the area by using a separate, dampened cloth. Then take a soft, dry cloth and blot the wet spot until you remove as much moisture as possible. You should only use cool or cold to clean tough stains from satin shoes. Hot water can discolor the shoes. Using hot water on the shoes could cause the fabric to shrink considerably, potentially altering the fit of the shoes.

Article in English: Liquid latex is good for achieving a generally deathly look, as well as building up wounds or other facial deformities.  You should be able to find it at seasonal Halloween supply stores, or at beauty supply chains. Choose a color that looks appropriately pale and decaying. By selectively ripping parts of the liquid latex, you can put wide gashes or small lacerations into your new skin.  Use scissors.  You should carefully snip the latex until you create the wound you want.  Be careful not to nick your skin! Use a toothpick.  Simply stick it into the liquid latex and drag it through for a gaping wound.

Article in English: Liquid medication may be prescribed for a respiratory bacterial disease or for a digestive disorder. If the vet prescribes liquid oral medication for your guinea pig’s illness, you will need to use a 1cc syringe with no needle to give your pig the medication. Shake the medication before you put it into the syringe in the correct measured amount according to the prescription.  Prop your pig in your lap with their back pressed into your ribcage. Hold them with your left hand around their stomach and use your forefinger and thumb to grip their head and jaws, just below their eyes. Keep your grip around their head firm and secure so they cannot move their head around. Use your right hand to stick the syringe into the side of their mouth, behind their front teeth. Move it down toward their back teeth until they begin to grind on the syringe. Slowly depress the contents of the syringe into their mouth. Stop doing this if your pig stops chewing, as a chewing motion indicates that they are swallowing the medication. Wiggle the syringe until they starts chewing again and all the medication has been swallowed. Your guinea pig may need to be given vitamin C pills if they has a vitamin C deficiency. A hemostat is a scissor-handled clamp that is used for compressing bleeding blood vessels. You can find them at medical supply stores or online. The shape and size of the hemostat is good for dosing your guinea pig with pills, as it can fit down into your pig’s molars. Hold your guinea pig in the same way you would hold her to give them oral medication with a syringe. Use the hemostat to insert the pill down to their molars. Make sure that they make a chewing motion as this is an indication that they have swallowed the medication. Subcutaneous fluids are often prescribed only if your guinea pig cannot take oral medication or liquid medication via their mouth. The vet can show you how to insert a butterfly catheter into your guinea pig. You will need to use a catheter to give your guinea pig subcutaneous fluids as a form of...

Article in English: Liquid membranes are usually polymer-based coatings that can be sprayed, troweled, or rolled onto concrete directly. They have the advantage of being quick to apply and are relatively low in cost.  Follow manufacturer's instructions on how to apply. The disadvantage of liquid membranes is that they don't offer even coverage. Even if you shoot for 60 mm of coverage, the minimum recommended thickness, it's hard to achieve that consistently. Self-adhering sheet membranes are large, rubberized asphalt membranes that you peel and place directly onto the concrete. Sheet membranes boast even thickness, but are more expensive (in both parts and labor) than liquid membranes, and can take some time getting used to.  Self-adhering sheet membranes are extremely sticky. You need to be very diligent about peeling the membrane to expose the sticky side, because it will stick to anything it comes in contact with, and it's virtually impossible to un-stick it once it is laid. Be sure to pay special attention to how sheet membranes overlap, as improper installation can result in the possibility for leakage. Make sure that lap joints are properly cut and that a bead of mastic is run down every lap joint that's spaced within one foot of a corner.  Sheet membranes need at least two people to install. Installing them by yourself is a sure recipe for a poor job and create a lot of needless frustration for yourself. EIFS offers a durable, attractive, and fairly simple coating to the outside of concrete walls, doubling as insulation and waterproofing. For a stucco-like finish, an EIFS finish coat can be applied directly to the concrete, filling any voids, floating out minor irregularities, and creating a good moisture resistant surface. EIFS are applied with a trowel, and comes in 5 gallon (18.9 L) buckets premixed and tinted to your preferred color. Float it off with a Styrofoam block or rubber float to create a uniform surface and texture.  Other EIFS products may be sprayed, brushed, or rolled on with a paint roller. Cementitious...

Article in English: Liquid nitrogen should not be used at home, since it can cause tissue damage if you apply it incorrectly. If you want to treat your wart at home, use a different method.  Freezing with liquid nitrogen is poorly tolerated in young children due to pain and discomfort. Liquid nitrogen must be used carefully to avoid nerve damage and neuropathy. Never use liquid nitrogen the face. Use it cautiously when treating dark pigmented skin colors so as not to cause discoloration of the skin. The doctor will pour a small amount of liquid nitrogen into a polystyrene cup. This keeps the liquid nitrogen sanitary, especially if several people are using it. A cotton swab is then soaked in the substance and applied to the wart. The swab should be applied directly to the middle of the wart with light pressure. This is repeated until a frozen zone appears. It should be white in color. The doctor will gradually apply more pressure to finish freezing the wart.  EMLA cream may be used to decrease pain and discomfort. The frozen tissue will become hard, and if you pinch from the sides you will feel that there is frozen tissue between your fingers. While the wart should be mostly white, the color will slowly return. If you think it may not have been frozen deeply enough, you can repeat the process. There will be some minor spikes of cold pain. Major pain is a sign that healthy skin has been damaged by the liquid nitrogen.

Article in English: Liquids help flush out the substances that cause kidney stones to form. Water is your best choice. It flushes out kidneys without adding any extra elements such as sugar, sodium, or other ingredients found in other drinks. Drink at least ten 8 ounce glasses of water daily. Avoid caffeinated beverages (and other diuretics) because they dry you out rather than hydrate you. You should have two or more quarts of urine per day, and it should be a light, barely yellow color. One of the main causes of kidney stones is concentrated urine. Salt can dehydrate you, helping to create concentrated urine. If you do eat salt, you need to counteract its effects by drinking a big glass of water afterward. Animal proteins can cause concentrated urine, one of the risk factors for kidney stones. Waste from the proteins gets into the urine and can increase the possibility of forming kidney stones. Some research indicates that insoluble fiber combines with calcium in urine and is excreted in stools. This helps decrease the amount of calcium left in the urine. Good sources of fiber include:  Whole grains like oatmeal, bran, or quinoa Prunes and prune juice  Leafy greens like spinach, chard, or kale The best way to deal with your diet is to consume both calcium and oxalate at the same meal. This way the calcium and oxalate can bind together in your stomach, rather than waiting until your kidney begins to process it and possibly convert it into a kidney stone.  Spinach, chocolate, beets, and rhubarb all are high in oxalate. Beans, green peppers, tea, and peanuts also contain oxalate. Milk, cheese, calcium enriched orange juice, and yogurt are all good forms of calcium that you can combine with foods high in oxalate.

Article in English: Liquids that are left on granite for too long can cause dark, shadow-like marks to form. Similarly, bright-colored beverages can stain light granite countertops. Get into the habit of wiping up spills with a soft cloth as soon as they occur. Apply cooking oil to a clean cloth, then make circular motions across the surface of the countertop. Use gentle pressure as you buff the surface. This will create a nice shine on your granite and temporarily reduce the risk of staining, as spills won't be able to soak into the granite as easily.  Repeat this periodically, such as daily or once a week, depending on your preferences. Use whatever oil you typically use for cooking. For example, you can use vegetable oil, olive oil, or avocado oil. Although granite is very hard-wearing, it can still be damaged if you regularly cut straight on the surface. Always use a chopping board when you are preparing food and try not to leave any sharp objects directly on the countertop. This will also help to protect your knives and keep them sharp. Hot pots, pans, hair straighteners, and curling irons can all cause micro-scratches to form. Keep a silicone, heat-resistant pad or an insulated mat within easy reach on the countertop.  Micro-scratches form when the granite experiences a sudden change in temperature. Hot objects can also cause the sealant to break down more quickly. Makeup and nail polish contain chemicals that can tarnish the granite and break down the sealant with long-term exposure. Place these products on a tray or a mat, or leave them in a cabinet instead. Granite countertops are sealed to protect the stone from being weakened and damaged from everyday use. Pour a few drops of water onto the countertop and check that water beads form, as this indicates that the seal is working properly. If the water soaks into the countertop, apply a granite seal or contact a granite restoration professional to get it resealed.  Make sure you do this sealant test before you do any buffing and cleaning of the granite. Otherwise, you may...

Article in English: List any plans you have for your trip -- restaurants you'll eat at, events you'll attend, attractions you plan on visiting -- and think about what you might do in your free time. Knowing what you have planned will tell you exactly what clothes and other items to bring so you’re not packing for the unknown. Don’t guess what you should pack or pack outfits for hypothetical events. Include any clothes, shoes, toiletries, or other items you’ll need on your trip. Avoid deviating from the list unless you remember something essential you forgot to include. A list will give you confidence so you don’t pack unnecessary items out of fear of being unprepared. Packing last minute is stressful and you’re more likely to pack unnecessary items when you wait to pack the night before your trip. Start packing at least three days before you leave so you can take your time to assess what items you need to bring. Rolling your clothes will save you more space in your luggage so you can limit the number of bags you take on your trip. Folded garments tend to stack up quickly, but you can easily squeeze a rolled-up shirt or pair of pants into the extra space in your bag. Use the shampoo, conditioner, and soap at your hotel instead of bringing your own. Leave your sunscreen, toothpaste, shaving cream, and other toiletries at home and purchase some at the store when you get to your destination. Packing full-size bottles of products like hairspray, lotion, and face wash will take up unnecessary space. Look online or in your local drug store for smaller-size bottles of the products you want to bring. If you can’t find a travel-size option for something, buy a small, refillable travel bottle and fill it with the product you want to take with you.

Article in English: List factors that led to the decision to change, such as performance gaps, new technology, or a shift in the organization's mission. One approach is to describe the current situation of the organization, and the future situation this plan intends to create. Briefly describe the expected nature of the change management project. Determine whether this will affect job roles, process changes, policy changes, and/or structural organization. List the departments, workgroups, systems, or other components that may change. List all stakeholders affected by the plan, for example, senior management, project manager, project sponsor, end-users, and/or employees affected by the change. For each one, write whether the stakeholder supports the change.  Consider a chart to communicate this clearly and succinctly. One possible template lists Awareness, Degree of Support, and Influence for each stakeholder, rated on a scale of High/Medium/Low.  If possible, conduct one-on-one interviews to gauge support. This team is responsible for communicating with all stakeholders, listening to concerns, and ensuring that the change goes as smoothly as possible. Choose people with high credibility in the organization, and good communication skills. This should include a change sponsor at the senior executive level. Stress that this involves active work promoting the changes, not just a sign-off on the plan. Complete support from organization heavyweights is critical for the success of the change. Allow each senior staff member to provide feedback on the change, and work with each one to create an active role in demonstrating and championing the changes. For each stakeholder, including those who support the change, assess the risks and concerns involved. Assign the change management team the task of addressing these concerns.

Article in English: List out the things you want to talk about. List the ways you were hurt, as well as specific examples. When you're in the heat of an argument or otherwise running on adrenaline from the anxiety of the discussion, it can be difficult to remember everything or get sidetracked or distracted. A list will help. It can also be helpful to tell him what you need or want to move forward. Rehearse what you are going to say in advance. You may write it down and read it aloud in front of a mirror. Or, you might ask the friend who gave you feedback to engage in a practice dialogue with you. When you confront the person, do so in a direct and honest manner. Don’t try to sugarcoat it or diminish the truth of how he made you feel. Also, there’s no need to beat around the bush—get straight to the heart of the matter. For example, you might say, “I was really hurt when you forgot my birthday last week. It made me feel unimportant to you.” You don't want to come across as sounding over-emotional or dramatic. Sounding like that makes it harder to take anyone seriously. Instead, keep calm and the discussion will go much easier. To have an effective dialogue with the other person, you want to prevent them from becoming defensive. You can try to do this by tailoring your words so that allow you to share what you’re feeling, without admonishing the other person. “I” statements can help you do that.  ”I” statement allow you to take ownership for your feelings: “I was really hurt when you forgot my birthday last week.” ”You” statements, on the other hand, increase the odds of the other person feeling attacked: “You don’t care about me! You forgot my birthday!” Don't make broad generalizations about things he does that hurt you. This is difficult for people to understand and sympathize with, especially when they're hurt. Instead, use specific examples. For example, avoid statements like "You always leave me to deal with the hard problems" and instead say "I was upset when you left me to deal with Bob this morning. You did that last...

Article in English: List the events of the story, and figure out the plot line.  It's best to know what you're writing about so you won't have to worry about it when you're trying to form the words. As your character goes through the bad events, come up with detailed images in your head. Using your creativity, form words to go along with that image. Once the raindrops start hitting the streets, go outside and walk around. This way, you'll achieve a sense of seriousness, a dramatic feeling, or inspiration. If you would prefer not to get wet, carry an umbrella with you. Sometimes, seeing how other authors wrote their stories may help you write yours.  Don't be afraid to try out their writing style, but make sure you aren't plagiarizing. Play a very sad or depressing song. Often, music will unlock a feeling inside of you that cannot be brought out in any other way. You could also construct a playlist of depressing, sad songs so that you have a continuous loop of them playing. Distractions often can divert your attention from writing the story. A loud, noisy environment where you cannot concentrate makes it harder for the words to come out, and you'll only end up with frustration. A quiet room is what you'll need in order to properly think. If your main character is a patient with terminal cancer, then go visit someone who has terminal cancer. If you can't find one, go online and look up some journals. You don't want any light to blind your sight into the words of your mind. This will also create a dark atmosphere in which you'll truly feel depressed. This can be immensely cathartic. Use a thesaurus if necessary in order to come up with heart-touching words. Full stops at the end of sentences. If you're not sure about the commas, have someone with the eye of an eagle and the heart of a grammar Nazi look it over for you. Don't overuse ellipses. This act takes over your life. If you really want to save the world, or give the world resources to do such, ignore the world's mockery and resentment and write to the best of your ability.
