Article in English: Passover lasts for eight days. It begins at sundown in early spring, known as the month of Nissan in the Hebrew calendar. The start date of Passover will change every year based on when Nissan occurs in the Hebrew calendar. Consult a Hebrew calendar for the exact dates for Passover in your year.  If you are going to a Passover celebration hosted by someone who is Jewish, ask them for the exact dates for Passover. Passover is divided into two parts. The first two days and the last two days of Passover are considered holidays, where no work is done. This includes driving, writing, or using electrical devices (among certain other activities categorized as labor). However, you can cook and carry items outdoors when needed under most circumstances; feel free to check with a reputable rabbinic authority for elaboration. The middle four days during Passover are called Chol Hamoed (literally, "weekday of the holiday") and nearly all forms of work are permitted during these days. It can be an adjustment to not do work during the first two days and last two days of Passover. Do any work you need to get done before Passover begins or save it for the middle four days of Passover so you do not break with tradition. Any leavened products, known as chametz in Hebrew, should be removed before the beginning of Passover. This is to honor the unleavened bread that the Israelites ate when they left Egypt. It is part of the Passover tradition to avoid consuming or owning any food or drink that contains wheat products. Clean your home of any of these products to prepare for Passover.  This means any wheat, barley, rye, oats, or spelt products. You should also remove any bread, cake, cookies, cereal, pizza, pasta, and alcoholic beverages. This does not include products like baking powder or baking soda.  Chametz is considered the 'anthesis' (the flowering period of a plant) of matzah and a representation of egotism. Getting rid of chametz is a key part of celebrating Passover and embracing selflessness. Another key aspect of...

Article in English: Past relationships are great for teaching you about yourself and your future relationships. To prepare yourself for the possibility of a new relationship, identify any areas of your past that may have contributed to your break up. Notice anything you may have done to push your partner away, or actions you may have done to be controlling or manipulative. Search for ways you can improve your behavior as a partner. Don’t be afraid to take some time to yourself. You don’t need to jump from one relationship to another. Enjoy the in-between times and give yourself time to heal. Take some time to reflect on your character, and notice any flaws you might have. Work on those to be a better partner and friend. This can be hard--no one wants to think about their flaws. But identifying and working on them will make you a better person, and will likely even increase your happiness.  Perhaps jealousy is a flaw for you. Practice being grateful for what you have. Maybe manipulation comes easy to you. While single, practice saying what you actually mean, and being honest with yourself and others. Many people forego their loves in favor of whatever their significant other likes. Take some time to evaluate your likes and dislikes, including your musical taste, your preferences regarding food, drink, and lifestyle, and even what you absolutely require from a relationship or partner. This will make you an invaluable partner, as you will know yourself well, and will not bow down to make other people happy. This is another great time to experiment. Try new foods, music, or movies. Do activities you’ve never done before. You may discover things you really love. If your aversion to your single life is insurmountable or feels too overwhelming to sort out by yourself, seek the help of a counselor or therapist. Although you might feel like you are alone in your struggle with being alone, plenty of people struggle to be both happy and single. A qualified professional can give you strategies to cope with your frustration, and may also be...

Article in English: Pasta is one of the main sources of carbohydrates at an Italian restaurant. If you are trying to limit your consumption of carbohydrates, be sure to avoid it. This will help your meal be more balanced.  Ask for grilled or steamed vegetables instead. Order high-protein appetizers to reduce hunger. Eating bread is a very common way people ruin their appetite for healthier options. Garlic bread, breadsticks, and garlic knots are all filled with unneeded calories, and are pure filler.  Look for bruschetta (tomato, fresh basil, garlic, and olive oil atop pieces of lightly toasted bread). Try vegetable appetizers, such as a house salad, roasted peppers and mushrooms, artichokes, or Brussels sprouts. Ask your waiter not to bring out the bread. Thin crusts have far less carbohydrates, sugars, and fats. Ordering a thin crust is a way to help balance out the nutrients in your meal. Make sure to limit yourself to no more than 2 slices of pizza, no matter what type of crust you get. These foods tend to lack nutritional value. Look for fresh fruit desserts instead that will provide that little bit of sweetness without going overboard.  Order Macedonia. It’s an Italian fruit salad made with fresh seasonal fruits, mint, and a bit of fresh lemon juice. It’s refreshing, delicious, and won’t weigh you down.  Finish your meal with a cool and cleansing Italian ice. It’s made with a bit of sugar, ice, and comes in many different flavors. Ask your server what’s available, and which has the least amount of sugar. It is okay to indulge now and then, but having a large portion of a heavy dessert is unhealthy. Instead, ask someone (or a couple of people) to split dessert with you. That will prevent you from consuming too much of it.   For example, if you want to try the tiramisu in a favorite Italian restaurant, ask someone in your group if they want to share it with you. You could even order a couple of desserts for your whole table to share and request extra spoons or forks so everyone can have a few bites of each item. Sipping on...

Article in English: Pastel colors show up nicely on white shoes and give nice muted tones. On the other hand, strong, bright colors also work well and will probably show up better from a distance. The choice is up to you! Remember that the color on the dye packaging may not be exactly the same color that ends up on your shoes. With home dying you need to be prepared for a little variation and fun surprises when it comes to coloring. Many craft stores and online sellers have dyes for fabrics, so look around. Read the packaging on dyes you are considering buying in order to judge whether you want to put in the work to use them. Some dyes are more complicated to apply than other ones.  You will also need other supplies. These can include: plastic sheeting (to protect surfaces), latex gloves (to protect your hands), and rubber cement (or another product to protect the soles of your shoes from the dye). In addition, you may want to use a paint brush to paint on detailed designs and you will probably want to have paper towels on hand to clean up any little spills. Rubber cement can usually be found at any supermarket or office supply store. If you already have some shoes that you want to dye that is just great. However, if you need to buy some, pick out white canvas shoes. It doesn't matter whether they are laces-ups or slip-ons, whichever you like. The most important part is that they are white, so that they can be dyed easily.  Cotton canvas in particular is a great fabric to dye because it will absorb and hold dye really well. That is because, in general, natural fibers are easier to dye than synthetic fibers.  If you have never dyed anything before, and you don't want to spend a lot of money on this project, consider getting the cheapest sneakers or slip-ons you can find. They may not be as comfortable to wear as more expensive shoes but their inexpensiveness will keep you from getting really upset if you mess up the dying process.

Article in English: Pastels come in several forms, oil pastels, hard pastels, soft pastels, and pastel pencils, and each has distinctive properties. Oil pastels are pastels with wax and inert oil as added ingredients. Pastel paper comes in a variety of different textures and weights but is usually rougher than the paper used for acrylic or watercolor painting. This is because pastel does not like to stick to a completely smooth surface.  Pastel paper also comes in different colors, as pastels are great for working on colored paper because of the density and saturation of their color. Pastel paper is sometimes manufactured with a "laid" effect, meaning the grain on one side is made of closely spaced lines and the opposite side has a slightly mottled surface. Yet another type of pastel painting paper is very close to a carborundum (wet 'n dry) or a coarse sandpaper. These can be fun types of paper to experiment with. If you are unsure which type you would like to use, try purchasing a few pieces of each type of pastel and paper, then figure out what you like, and don't like, about each through experimentation. While not used interchangeably, soft pastels, hard pastels, and pastel pencils can be used in combination with each other in the same painting. Oil pastels, on the other hand, can be difficult to blend with the other types of pastels. Keep this in mind when purchasing your pastels.

Article in English: Pat the pork loin steaks dry with paper towels and set them aside. Pour ½ to 1 cup (60 to 125 g) of flour onto a shallow plate. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of ground pepper onto the flour. Use your fingers to mix the salt and pepper into the flour. If your steaks are over 1 in (2.5 cm) thick, turn the oven on to 400 °F (204 °C). Place a heavy bottomed skillet or cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add 1/4 cup of vegetable or canola oil and let it heat up. There should be enough oil to cover the entire bottom of your pan. If there isn't, add more oil. Avoid pan-frying the steaks in olive oil or butter. These will burn over the high heat. Lay each steak into the seasoned flour so that that it's coated. Turn each steak over so that they're completely covered in the mixture. Lift the steaks up and shake off the excess flour mixture. Wash your hands with soap and water after handling the raw steaks to prevent the spread of disease. It's a good idea to handle the steaks with one hand while using your other hand to sprinkle the flour mixture over the steak. This keeps one hand dry so the flour mixture doesn't stick to you. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully lower the prepared steaks into the pan. Cook the steaks for 3 minutes on medium-high heat. Use tongs to flip the steaks over and cook for another 3 minutes. The steaks should be golden brown. If they're thin, they should be finished cooking. If they're thick, transfer them to the oven to finish cooking for another 6 to 10 minutes.  Regardless of thickness, the pork loin steaks should be at least 145 °F (63 °C) before they're ready to serve. If you're finishing the steaks in the oven, ensure that the pan you use is oven safe.

Make sure they are completely dry before storing them. If you try to store them when they’re wet, they will quickly become wilted and slimy. The kale is good until it becomes yellow, wilted, or slimy. Mix the kale with some of your favorite vegetables to make a salad, or search online for creative recipes that feature kale.

Article in English: Patch cables are short lengths of quarter-inch cable that are used specifically for connecting a sequence of pedals. It would quickly become unwieldy to patch together more than one or two pedals with 12-foot lengths of stage cable, so patch cables help to keep your set-up tidy and easy to manage. Patch cables are also recommended to maintain signal quality. The longer an audio signal must travel, the worse it will eventually sound, so short patch cables help to keep your signal of the highest quality possible. When you're chaining together a sequence of pedals, the order of the pedals is very important. The first pedal in the sequence is the one connected directly to your guitar and the last pedal in the sequence will be the pedal that connects to your amplifier. Different rules apply to different pedals, but the one pedal you want to make sure is first in any chain is a tuning pedal, if you have one. Tuning pedals need clear, direct, unfiltered signals to work properly. If you installed a distortion pedal in a sequence before a tuning pedal, the tuner would be reading that degraded and distorted signal. It might sound cool, but it'll make the tuner go all wonky and give you a bad reading. Put your tuner first so your guitar will stay in tune. Basic rule of thumb when it comes to sequencing guitar pedals: Pedals that create tone need to go before pedals that manipulate tone. Wah-wahs, envelope filters, and other pedals that compress the natural sound of your guitar should be placed early in the signal path, following any tuners that you use. Some of the most common pedals used in playing rigs are the fuzz boxes. Distortion, overdrive, and other types of pedals that create great-sounding gain and distortion for controlled bursts of chaos in your sound should come after the tuners and the wah-wahs. The specific order of your distortion and overdrive pedals is up to you. When it comes to playing guitar, the rules are meant to be broken. Experiment with different orientations of your pedals to see what sound...

Article in English: Patch tests are used to test how allergic you are when you come into contact with certain substances. Patch tests are different from prick or scratch tests.  A scratch test checks for reactions to common allergens that may give you symptoms from hives to a runny nose. The nurse scratches or pricks the skin to get the allergen under the skin.  A patch test checks for just the skin's reaction to the allergen. A reaction to an allergen by the skin is known as contact dermatitis. Certain medications can affect a patch test. Antihistamines, for instance, are designed to suppress allergic reactions, which can change the outcome of your patch test. Your doctor may want you to go off of these medications for a bit before your test, up to 10 days ahead of time. Other medications that may cause problems include tricyclic antidepressants, some medications for acid reflux (such as ranitidine), and omalizumab (an asthma medication). During a patch test, the nurse or doctor will make up a series of small patches. Each patch will contain a small amount of a different substance that has been known to cause reactions in some people. For instance, some patch tests use everything from metals such as cobalt and nickel to lanolin and certain plant types. The patches will be attached to your skin with medical tape. Most of the time, the patches are applied to your back or arm. If you commonly have rashes on the back of your hands, your neck, or arms, you may react to a substance only when it comes into contact with sunlight. A special test exists for this purpose; if you need a photo-patch test, your doctor will place two of each substance and expose one of them to light, while not exposing the other. In fact, unlike scratch tests, patch tests don't use needles at all. Therefore, you won't experience any pain when the patches are being applied. While the patches are on, you should avoid getting the patches wet, which means avoiding extremes of heat and humidity and heavy sweating. Do not swim, shower, take a bath, exercise or do...

Article in English: Patch up cracks and holes leading from the outside in to prevent spiders from finding their way indoors.  Use caulk to fill in large gaps of space in closed doors and windows. Also apply caulk around wires, cables, faucets, and electrical components, since all of these must run to the outside. Replace or fix torn window screens. Spiders can easily find their way in through even the smallest holes. Cover your vents and chimney with fine mesh insect screens. While outdoor lights will not attract spiders, they will attract other pests that can serve as appetizing food sources for spiders.  On a similar note, block indoor lights from shining through your windows by using opaque blinds or shades. Consider switching to yellow sodium vapor lights. These are less appealing to insects and less likely to draw in a food source for your spiders. If you have a serious spider problem, consider transplanting shrubs, trees, ivy, and other plants from the perimeter of your house to the opposite side of the yard.  Vegetation attracts spiders because it serves as an ample hiding spot. When spiders need to seek out warmth or new food sources, they crawl from the vegetation toward your home, getting in through cracks. You should also remove mulch, stones, leaves, or other debris near your home. Clean homes give spiders fewer places to hide out in, making them less likely to stay even if they do slip inside.  Do not leave leftover food lying around. Food crumbs will attract other pests like ants, which, in turn, will attract spiders. Regularly sweep and vacuum your floors. Wipe down your counters and tables, and avoid letting your dirty dishes sit out for more than a few hours. Pick up as much clutter as possible. Old newspapers and piles of dirty clothes make the ideal hiding place for spider species that thrive in darkness. Use plastic storage containers. Airtight plastic containers are difficult for spiders to crawl into, but cardboard boxes are fairly easy.

Article in English: Patients who do not respond to over-the-counter treatments or who are unhappy with the results may need prescription medication. Doctors can prescribe stronger treatment regimens including creams, lotions, shampoos, and even oral medication if OTC shampoos are ineffective. UV light treatments may also be an option. Prescribed antifungal shampoos and topical corticosteroids are beneficial, but can be expensive and may have adverse side effects with long-term use. These and other prescribed shampoos are only used when over-the-counter treatments are not effective. The most common type of prescription shampoo used for scalp eczema is antifungal shampoo. Most antifungal shampoos have a concentration of 1% ciclopirox and 2% ketoconazole.  The most common side effects of these shampoos include irritation, burning sensations, dry skin, and itching. These shampoos are used daily or at least twice weekly during the prescribed period. Always follow the directions on the package or prescription. These shampoos help reduce inflammation and decrease itching and flaking of the scalp. The common corticosteroids shampoos include ingredients such as 1.0% hydrocortisone, 0.1% betamethasone, 0.1% clobetasol, and 0.01% fluocinolone.  Side effects usually occur after long-term use and may include thinning of the skin, itching, a stinging sensation, and skin hypopigmentation (the loss of the color pigments of your skin, which results in lightening of the skin). Most people who use these shampoos for only a short period should not experience negative side effects.  These prescription shampoos contain steroids, and a little of the medication can be absorbed into the bloodstream. If you have diabetes or sensitivity to steroids, you should be sure to discuss these complications with your doctor. Be aware that corticosteroid shampoos tend to be more expensive than other treatments. These shampoos can be used daily or twice daily during the prescribed period. The use of antifungal and corticosteroid shampoos at the same time may be safe...

Article in English: Patients will probably be more willing to answer a survey if they can do so anonymously.  Moreover, anonymity also makes patients feel more comfortable with providing honest answers. Allow your patients to complete and return the survey privately. Do not require for names or identifying information. You can give the patients the option of doing so if they would like to discuss their comments or concerns further, but make sure that your patients understand that it is only optional and not required. Ask patients to provide basic demographic data at the beginning or end of the survey. This information includes age, gender, and ethnicity.  By collecting demographic data, you can determine how specific practices are meeting the needs of specific patient groups. You ultimately need to strive for satisfaction across all demographics. For instance, you may find that younger people are satisfied with your practice's reliance on email and texting to communicate appointment reminders, but older people are not. Your practice can then take steps to be sure that all people receive appointment reminders in a way that works best for them. Overall, you need to ask questions that review matters of quality, access, and interpersonal interactions.  Quality issues are the most straightforward. They include a patient's thoughts regarding the quality of your medical knowledge, diagnosis, and treatment. Access issues refer to the ease with which patients can make appointments, get referrals, or get treatment. Interpersonal issues could also be labeled as "bedside manner." Ask about how caring the physicians and other staff members appeared to be. Patient satisfaction is subjective, but patient experience is more objective. You'll need to include both question types on the survey.  Satisfaction questions focus on how well the patient's wishes are met. For instance, "How satisfied are you with the way your physician addressed your concerns?" Experience questions are phrased in a way that addresses what actually happened rather than...

Article in English: Patterns of infatuation are often indicative of a love addiction. You may have become dependent on the feelings you experience when you are infatuated with a person so you tend to repeat the same behaviors. A therapist may be able to help you break the cycle.  Ask your friends, family members, or a doctor for recommendations. Look online for names if you don’t feel comfortable asking those you know. Talk with a therapist about why you became infatuated with this person. They may help you realize insecurities you have about yourself that were temporarily resolved because of the obsession. They may also help you discover a psychological reason for your infatuation.  For instance, you could have  borderline personality disorder and may not know it. Repeated infatuation and obsession could be a sign that you are struggling with this condition.  If you feel your obsession is getting out of control, you may be at heightened risk for self-harm. Communicate your feelings to your therapist. They will likely make a contract with you to eliminate self-harm. Talking about your infatuation may help you realize a few things you never did before. Those close to you may be able to help you identify the reasons why your infatuation is senseless, which may give you the encouragement to move on. They can also offer you support when you’re feeling hopeless about the situation.  Consider also asking your support system to help you get over the person by spending more time with you, helping to eliminate the person’s presence in your life, and reminding you of how imperfect they are, when you’re struggling.

Article in English: Pause an out-of-control train of thought by literally thinking, "STOP!". Take several deep breathes to collect yourself before moving on, which allows you to address your thoughts clearly and with a level head.  By focusing your mind on your breathing for a moment, you give yourself some distance from your thoughts and make them easier to manage. Studies show that it takes 90 seconds for neurochemical triggers to fade from your brain and return you to a normal brain chemistry, so try counting to 90 to calm yourself down. Constantly ruminating on the past, which you have no power to change, or projecting into the future, which you cannot possibly predict, is a sure way to lose control of your thoughts. Focus on the here and now -- the very tangible situation you are in that you can control, and your thoughts will follow.  Try a simple grounding technique like sitting in a chair and focusing on what your feet feel like as they touch the floor. This can help you connect with what you feel in the moment and tune out other concerns. Many spiritual practices recommend staying in the moment to promote inner peace and clarity. A simple question to ask yourself is: what can I do right now to change how I feel? After pausing, return to your thoughts without  critiquing yourself for having them. Consider why you are having such thoughts and what made you feel like you lost control of your brain. Taking an objective look at your thoughts will help you make sense of them without spawning negative emotions.  Stick to objective, concrete facts. If you are in a fight, don't cast blame or guess why the other party is angry. Consider what events lead to the fight, what can be done to end it, and what specifically made you upset. Instead of "I'm really bad with women, it's my fault that I don't have a girlfriend," think "I haven't found love yet because I haven't met someone who is truly compatible with me." If you are having trouble, write your thoughts down and read them back to yourself. Sitting with your ideas without...

Article in English: Pay any fees upfront, as you don't want to have to deal with this after your dog has passed away. Try to stay calm for the dog's sake. It will not know what is going on, so it's best to not make is scared at the end of its life. Many times a sedative will be given to your dog in one of its muscle. This will help it relax, as the euthanasia solution needs to be given in the vein, usually using a front leg vein. After access to the vein is achieved, the solution is slowly given and the dog's heart will soon stop. This normally takes place very quickly.  Many veterinarians will place a small catheter into the vein while others are adept at using a plain needle on a syringe full of the euthanasia solution. The veterinarian will usually need their assistant to help hold the pet and keep its leg steady, but you should be able to stroke and speak to your pet if you want to. Occasionally a dog with heart or circulation troubles will take a bit more time for the solution to work. The dog may give a sigh or a couple of deep breaths. The veterinarian will check with his or her stethoscope to make sure your dog's heart is stopped before pronouncing it dead. They will assist you in respectfully readying your dog's body for a proper disposition. Grieving at the loss of your beloved companion is normal. Your dog gave you companionship, loyalty, and unconditional love, which will be sorely missed. Everyone grieves differently: some cry, some get angry, some feel sadness. Here are some tips to help you cope with your loss:  Create a memorial. This could be a spot on a shelf with your dog's framed photo, a special photo album with photos, or you could plant a tree or bush in your dog's memory. Write your feelings in a journal. Ask your humane society or veterinarian if there are any pet loss support groups in the area. Call a pet loss hotline to speak with a counselor  Most of all, remember the happy times with your dog and enjoy those good memories.

Article in English: Pay attention in class and act interested in the material being taught. Participate in class discussions, answer questions, and take good notes.  Stay off your cell phone and avoid daydreaming. Look truly interested in every word your professor is saying. While being a good student won’t seduce them, it will lay the groundwork. Remember, they are doing their job, and your interest in the subject will please them. Even if you are unable to seduce them, at least you may get an A by paying attention and working hard. While you may think that professors are much too intellectual to care about appearance, they’re still human. If you look like a slob, you probably won’t catch their eye. Keep your outfits school-appropriate, but wear things that flatter you. Looking neat and polished will also show them that you respect their class. Try to look more elegant and mature than your peers: a vest instead of a hoodie or a nice knee-length skirt for girls will make you look more professional and equal to your professor. Putting a little extra effort into your appearance can also raise your confidence. If you look poised and self-assured, you’ll look more like an equal. Smile at your professor in class, and try to hold their eye contact whenever you can. Nod slightly whenever you think they make a great point, just to show them that you’re listening and agreeing. Be a little shameless– if you know you have a great physical feature, find a way to discreetly show it off. Bend over to grab a pen, adjust your clothing to give a little peek, or simply take your time walking to your seat before class begins. The goal is to get their eyes on you. Don't stare while making eye contact. If they catch you looking, simply hold their gaze for a little longer than it's socially comfortable, and smile. If they smile back at you, it's a good sign!

Article in English: Pay attention to any pain you have when you swallow or pain you have near your chest. In addition to heartburn, signs of esophageal ulcers include:  Nausea or vomiting Abdominal pain Weight loss Vomiting blood Contact your doctor for a physical exam if you have any signs of an esophageal ulcer. The doctor will do a physical and run tests to look inside your esophagus. You'll also need a blood test to determine if if you have an esophageal infection. To see inside your esophagus, the doctor may take an x-ray or do an upper endoscopy. During the endoscopy, they'll insert a thin tube with a camera down your esophagus to look for ulcers. If your esophageal ulcer was caused by an infection, you'll need to take prescription antibiotics. For an ulcer caused by acid reflux, work with your doctor to manage your stomach acid production. The doctor may recommend:  Proton pump inhibitors Antacids H-2-receptor blockers It will take several weeks for the medication to treat the cause of your esophageal ulcer. You'll need to check back in with your doctor after a few weeks or months to ensure that the ulcer healed. The doctor might want to do another upper endoscopy to look at the site of the ulcer. These can inflame and irritate your esophageal ulcer as it heals. If you don't want to completely quit smoking while your ulcer heals, you may just want to stop until the ulcer is completely healed. Smoking and drinking may slow down your recovery time. If your esophageal ulcer was caused by excess stomach acid, pay attention to the foods that give you heartburn or nausea. Try to limit eating these foods so you don't develop another ulcer or make yours worse:  Spicy foods Fried foods Caffeine Tomatoes, onions, and garlic Citrus Mint Eat a balanced diet of whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables while you're recovering from an esophageal ulcer. To prevent acid reflux from causing another ulcer, eat slower and don't lie down for at least 3 hours after eating. You might find that it's easier to eat several small meals...

If they are happening daily and are lasting more that a minute or two, and you have no exacerbating factors, such as stress, then you should contact your doctor. If you have long lasting muscle twitches that are impacting your quality of life and are not stopping, contact your doctor and get a check up. While rare, there are some serious illnesses that can cause muscle twitching, and you will want to rule them out as the cause of your twitching. Your doctor will likely do a general medical evaluation and then run specialized testing if they think there might be an underlying medical condition. Some serious, yet rare, medical conditions that can cause muscle twitching include Tourette syndrome, Huntington's disease, muscular dystrophies, spinal muscular atrophy, Isaac's syndrome, epilepsy, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, brain tumors, liver failure, kidney failure, nervous system disorders, and genetic disorders. Medical conditions that cause muscle twitching should be treated by a doctor. Depending on what medical condition you have, muscle twitching will oftentimes be controlled when the condition is controlled.  Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can sometimes cause muscle twitching. Once these imbalances are fixed, the twitching should cease. There are some rare progressive neurological illnesses that begin with symptoms such as minor muscle twitching. With these illnesses, such as Lou Gehrig's disease, the twitches may get progressively worse and will be uncontrollable. Since tumors can cause muscle twitching, having surgery to remove them can eliminate the twitching. If treating your underlying medical condition does not minimize muscle twitching, there are medications that can be...

Article in English: Pay attention to how the guy asks you out and how he responds when you invite him. Good guys will value your time, but a player won't.  Players usually ask you out on short notice. Since they aren't genuinely looking forward to seeing you, they turn you into a backup plan and ask you out only when they don't have anything “better” lined up for an evening. If you always get a “maybe” from the guy when you ask him out, it could mean that he doesn't want to commit in case another, more preferable offer comes up. A man who frequently cancels last-minute might do so for similar reasons. Players are inconsistent in their affections and may sway from one extreme to the other. You may not hear from him in weeks, and then suddenly, he'll start bombarding you with more attention than you can handle.  During “cold” periods, there's a good chance that he's spending his time with other women and is too busy with them to bother with you. During his “hot” periods, he's either lost his other options or lost interest in them. As a result, he returns to you in an effort to fill the void. If the two of you always meet at night, try asking him for a daytime date. Most players will strongly resist and reject the idea, and the excuses they give for doing so are usually pretty lame. If you can't change the time of the date, try changing the nature of it. Instead of spending time alone or going out for drinks, go somewhere with plenty of people and very little alcohol. The guy's odds of getting you into bed will decrease when you do this, so if he's a player, he won't be willing to make the change. Try to maintain eye contact when you're together in a public venue. Your eyes don't need to be locked the entire time, but his eyes should be directed your way for most of the date. Note that the occasional wandering eye may not be a terrible sign, but if his eyes are constantly wandering toward other people, there's a problem. Similarly, a wandering eye that remains stuck on another woman is also a bad sign. A player only cares about...

Article in English: Pay attention to how the person you suspect of talking behind your back speaks to your face. Someone who talks about you behind your back is often angry or upset with you. These emotions can come through in how they interact with you, such as thinly veiled jabs or backhanded compliments.  Even if the someone negates their nasty comments with a, “just kidding,” it may be that they are having trouble hiding their anger. An example of a backhanded compliment might be, “Congrats on getting in. I hear that’s great…for a state school.” Someone who talks about you behind your back may not want to be honest with you about their feelings. Asking the person a question or two can help you determine if they’re hiding something from you. If the person is reluctant to answer or seems as though they are lying, that may mean they have been airing their grievances elsewhere. If you suspect someone is unhappy with your performance on a group project, for example, you might ask, “Are you mad about the project?” If they avoid you or say they don’t want to talk, it’s possible they’ve been talking to others about their feelings. Go to a friend you know you can trust and ask them if someone has been talking about you behind your back. Assure them that you will not implicate them if you confront the person who has been doing it. Let them know that you simply want to understand what you may have done to deserve this treatment because it’s hurting your feelings.  You might say, “I think Lisa is talking about me behind my back. Have you heard any rumors? I wouldn’t ever tell her you told me, but I’m confused about why she’s mad at me.” It’s vital not to violate the trust of your friend who sheds any light on the talking behind your back. They are potentially exposing themselves to rumors and the anger of others by confiding in you. Someone who gossips to you about other people behind their backs also likely talks about you behind your back. If you have many friends like this, it may help to distance yourself from them if you don’t want...

Article in English: Pay attention to if she has broken the touch barrier with you. If she has, you need to figure out if it is friendly or flirty. She might just be giving you a friendly pat on the shoulder or she might be flirting with you because she is interested in you. If she touches you often, it might be a sign that she is flirting.  The amount of time she touches you for is an aspect of what determines if the touching is flirty or friendly. Was the touch a quick brush or does her hand linger for a few seconds? Where she touches you could be a sign of what the touch means. Touching your shoulder might be something she does with friends, whereas touching your hand or face could be a sign she is interested in you. Notice if she reciprocates your touch. If you give her a side hug and she leans into it, she might like you. If she seems uncomfortable and pulls away from the hug, maybe not. If she gives you space when she talks to you, she might not like you. If she turns her body toward you and points her feet your way, she could be interested. Some women get nervous around guys they like. Touching her hair and neck are signs she is feeling jittery and nervous around you and might be interested in you. Some women look at the guy they like often. If she likes you she won’t be able to help but look at you. If you notice a lot of eye contact from her when you talk to her, she might be interested in you. If you know she is the kind of girl to get shy and nervous, she might be doing the opposite and not looking at you at all. This could also mean she likes you. If every time she is with her boyfriend she has a huge smile on her face, it might be a sign you should back off. If she always looks miserable with him, then maybe there is room in her heart to develop feelings for someone else. Paying attention to how she acts around her boyfriend might help you figure out how she feels about you, but it also might not mean anything. If she her look sad with her boyfriend, it does not necessarily mean she does not love him or that she...

Article in English: Pay attention to reading troubles your young child might have, even if it's written off by teachers as nothing to worry about. You might notice your child struggling more than his peers when learning to read. Dyslexia also impacts motor coordination, affecting the ability to write clearly. Messy handwriting may be a sign of dyslexia. Since academics are based on reading and writing, your child may have issues in many or all of his classes. Even in hands-on classes, students have subject-specific vocabulary, but dyslexia makes it hard to quickly recall words because the part of the brain responsible for matching sounds to symbols (such as letters or numbers) is the same place pictures are matched to sounds. (Imagine looking at a duck and having trouble hearing “quack” in your mind!) Your child might become anxious and frustrated because of reading struggles. If your child is acting up in class, the school may blame the academic failures on the misbehavior instead of recognizing that a learning disorder is the root of all the problems. That confusion interferes with identifying and treating the cause of the problems, the dyslexia, which can make problems worse. The more that dyslexic child falls behind academically, the likelihood increases that your child will have frustration, anxiety, and lower self-esteem, —any of which can lead to depression. You might notice your child hates school, thinks of himself as stupid, or calls himself dumb. His classmates might do the same, causing socialization problems. Your child might hate going to school because of the pressure and anxiety of falling behind academically. Anxiety is the number one emotion experienced by dyslexic children. Low self-esteem and high frustration levels often lead to anger. A longevity study of 7-year-olds with reading disabilities showed that by age 11 they had much more trouble with behaviors and emotions than other children, despite receiving support for their disability. Dyslexia may be hard to diagnose, since it shares common characteristics...

Article in English: Pay attention to the activities that your crush enjoys doing. Then, attend their special events to show your support. Additionally, cheer them on and congratulate them when they do well. For instance, attend your crush’s soccer game or the play they’re starring in. Doing something to help someone shows them that you care about them. Step up to help if you see them struggling with something. Alternatively, tell them that you’d be happy to help them get better at something you’re really good at doing.  As an example, offer to carry their books, help them pick up papers they’ve dropped, or lend them a pencil when they need it. Similarly, you might offer to tutor them in math if you hear them say they’re struggling. If you were good at origami, you might show them how to fold a paper crane. Giving someone a mixed tape or playlist sends a clear signal that you probably like them. Choose 10-15 of your favorite songs to include on the mixed tape or playlist. Hand them the tape or place it in their bag or locker. If you made a playlist, send them a link.  Don’t fill the playlist with love songs because that can feel off-putting to someone you aren’t dating yet. Try to pick songs that you think they might enjoy. It’s really hard to ask your crush out, so start with a friendly hang. Invite them to study, to do an activity you both like, or to attend a group outing or party. Then, use this time to get to know them better. This can hint that you’re interested without you putting yourself out there.  Say something like, “I definitely need more study time before this test. Do you want to meet me at the coffee house for a study session?” “Did you see that our favorite band is playing this Friday? Did you want to go with me?” or “Some of us are going bowling on Friday. Do you want to come?” If they say, “No,” brush it off like it’s no big deal. You could say, “Let me know if you change your mind. I might invite some other friends in the meantime.” on their birthday or a special event. A thoughtful gift shows your crush that...

Article in English: Pay attention to the feet! Shoes help complete the overall look in Paris. You’re not going to see a lot of Parisians slumming it around the city in tennis shoes. Cheap or scuffed shoes will give you away as a tourist.  Instead of throwing on tennis shoes, invest in a nice pair of leather shoes or, especially, ballerina flats. Black ballerina flats go with everything, and they are comfortable.  Leave the UGG boots and flip flops at home, too. You don’t need to wear heels that are too high. In Paris, it’s considered tacky to wear super high platform heels. When dressing down, you will likely see Parisians wearing the ballet flats, short boots or tall boots. When dressing up for a more formal event, women will wear lower high heels, but not wedge or spiked heels. Get your shoes shined, and take good care of them. One pair of expensive shoes that lasts forever is a good bet in Paris. Parisians wear nice shoes even when they are in casual settings because they believe that the shoes elevate the overall look. In Paris, you won’t see a lot of women wearing unnatural colors (think lime green) or anything too gaudy. The same is true with fabrics.  Avoid anything synthetic. Avoid distracting patterns, too. Instead, stick with classic neutral colors, such as navy, white, black, or tan colors.  One benefit of sticking with neutral colors is that you can easily mix and match them with other pieces of clothing. They’re versatile. Parisians choose neutral colors for both formal or informal settings. Mariner stripes are an exception to the no busy pattern rule. They are very Parisian, and they are worn in casual wear most frequently, paired with jeans or casual trousers. Parisian style is sometimes compared to New York style, and one thing they have in common is choice of color. The major color in any Parisian’s wardrobe is black.  You will see black worn in dresses, jackets, and trousers. Throw a white T-shirt or buttoned-down dress shirt under a black blazer and wear skinny black jeans, and you're set! Black is a slimming...

Article in English: Pay attention to the friends you keep and their attitudes about others, themselves, and you. If you start noticing that the majority of your friends are highly critical, criticizing clothing, body, decisions, speech, or behavior on a daily basis, you may want to seek less judgmental friends. Try instead to find people who have nice things to say about others and are not quick to pass judgement. While having a few negative friends is perfectly fine, if you are surrounded by negativity, even if it is not directed at you, you are absorbing its effects. Even if your friend is pointing out the stupid looking hairstyle on someone else, if you happen to like that hairstyle, now you are feeling as though you were mistaken and losing confidence in your own opinion. Do not be quick to pass judgment, yourself. Trying to put others down may seem like it raises you up, but really, every time you knock someone else down, you are also criticizing a quality you possess and are knocking yourself down, too. Instead, raise others up. Not only will you have better luck making friends and having meaningful relationships, but you will also be elevating yourself.  If you find yourself condemning other's failures or decisions, think about why you are doing so. If your initial thought is "because they're wrong," think a little harder. Why is it wrong? In what context? Is it your cultural background or how you were raised that makes you think so? Would someone from another country or cultural background feel the same way? Just because someone is doing something differently than you would or is living in a way you would not choose, it does not automatically make them wrong. It doesn't have to be dangerous -- just go to a part of town you've never been to on your own and go into a random store. See what you find there. Try talking to the clerk. The more new and exciting experiences you rack up, the more likely you are to be excited by life instead of being scared of new things or new people. If you know that you're capable of doing...

Article in English: Pay attention to the soil after a heavy rain to see how it drains. You shouldn't see deep puddles remain, but the soil should stay moist. If the soil is too rich in clay, it will kill the cardamom plant, so find somewhere else in the garden or mix sand into the soil to break up the clay. The ideal soil for cardamom is loamy with a pH level between 4.5 and 7. Cardamom plants will die if they're in direct sunlight, so choose a planting area that has partial shade. If you only have a space that is completely shaded, it will work, but the plant may not grow as quickly. Cardamom plants usually grow under the canopy of trees that are above it. Since cardamom grows in subtropical forests, it needs high humidity to thrive in your garden. To plant the cardamom outside, the humidity needs to be around 75%. Cardamom also prefers temperatures between 64 °F (18 °C) and 95 °F (35 °C). Dig 1 in (2.5 cm) deep holes that are 6 to 18 inches (15 to 46 cm) apart. Place 1 seedling into each hole and surround the seedling roots with dirt. If you'd like to support the plants as they grow, drive a garden stake into the soil 2 inches (5.1 cm) away from the base of each plant.  As the cardamom grows, you can tie the plant to the stake. Avoid planting seeds too deep since they may not sprout if they don’t get adequate sun. If you live in a climate with temperatures that occasionally dip below 60 °F (16 °C), you may want to plant the seedlings in large pots instead of outside in the garden. This will allow you to bring the cardamom in when it gets cool.  If you use a pot, choose as large of a pot as you can for your space that's also easy to pick up so you can move it in and out of your house. If you do need to bring the cardamom inside your house, consider placing it in the warmest, most humid room of your house, such as the bathroom. Feel the soil with your fingers every day to ensure that the soil is most. Since the soil should never dry out, water until the soil is soaked. The cardamom plants will need even more water during the...

Article in English: Pay attention to the wording in the recipe when sifting your flour. The wording in a recipe affects how the flour is sifted. There is a difference between "1 cup flour, sifted" and "1 cup sifted flour."  If the recipe calls for "1 cup flour, sifted," measure the flour first. Then, transfer it to a bowl and sift. If the recipe calls for "1 cup sifted flour," sift a good portion of flour. Then, measure out however much you need for the recipe. You do not always need to sift flour. If flour has not been sitting in a bag too long, it may be light enough to simply use in a recipe. When flour is in a bag for awhile, however, it gets compact and needs to be sifted. If your bag of flour was squeezed into a cabinet, or had another item sitting on top of it, it's especially important to sift your flour. If your flour is not tightly compact, you may be able to skip the sifting process for some recipes. However, if you're making something that is meant to have a delicate texture, always sift your flour first. Recipes like angel food cake, for example, will require sifted flour. If you're going to roll out dough, or knead it, flour can help prevent the dough from sticking to a work surface. Sifted flour generally works better in this case, as it will have less clumps and spread more evenly. You should also sift flour if you're dusting flour over wax paper to roll out dough for sugar cookies.

Article in English: Pay attention to what is trending and use hashtags on all of your photos. Many Instagram users search for hashtags to find new users to follow—using the right hashtags ensures that people who are looking for your sort of content are able to find you.  For example, someone who posts photos from hiking adventures in the Pacific Northwest may use tags like #hiking, #method, #exploregon, #camping, and #mtranier. Someone who shares their illustrations may use the hashtags #illustrators, #artistsofinstagram, #penandink, and #womanartists. Some popular hashtags are #nofilter (unfiltered photos), #flawless (when you’re looking your best), #nochill (when life gets crazy), and #tbt (Throwback Thursday, a day when Instagrammers post old photos). Find Instagram users whose photos you enjoy and add them to your Follow list. Try to comment and like photos every time you go onto Instagram. It is very hard to become popular on Instagram without interacting with and trading likes with others. You most likely have a set number of friends who would be willing to follow you. Follow your Facebook friends on Instagram and they will surely follow back. When posting a new photo, tap your preferred social media option under “Share” and enter your username and password. This will post your Instagram photo, giving your followers on other platforms the chance to follow you on Instagram. While sharing some Instagram photos on Facebook or your blog can attract new followers, keep some content exclusive to Instagram. Remind your Facebook or blog followers that they should follow your Instagram for different photos. Let your Instagram account be where people can get to know another side of you. If you post something funny, caption it with something like, “Tag three friends who would think this is funny.” When people tag their friends on your photos, their friends will view your photo and usually like it or start following you. Geotagging adds a location link to the top of your Instagram photos, allowing people to see where you were and view...

Article in English: Pay attention to what kinds of plants draw his attention, then avoid plants like that in the future.  For example, your cat might love wispy, dangling leaves that flutter in the breeze. In that case, buy plants with large, heavy leaves that don't look as much fun to play with. Yucca plants, for example, seem to be particularly irresistible, and your cat will chew on them without mercy. Zinnias and marigolds are other examples of "cat magnet" plants that you should avoid. If you already have an irresistible plant in your home, keep on a high shelf where the cat can't reach it. Make sure it's an unreachable shelf, or your nimble cat might just leap up there. You can use your cat's attraction to certain species of plants to your benefit. Place trays of catnip or grass around your home for your cat. Munching on these plants will help satisfy his need to chew, and hopefully distract him from your more prized plants. There are also some plant species that cats just can't seem to stomach. They often have a strong smell, like lavender, rosemary, or citrus plants. While you can enjoy the pleasant aroma of these plants, the smell will discourage your cat from chomping on them. You might also buy plants that have very high leaves that cats can’t reach, such as small trees.

Article in English: Pay attention to where your angle the middle of your body. If your belly button is pointed at your date, you're indicating to the other person that you're interested. On the other hand, angling your body away tells your date that you're not interested. Raising your eyebrows shows interest or delight, so if you like your date, you can use it as a sign. That is, give your date a few gentle touches in the first 15 minutes. A handshake is a good place to start, but you can also pat your date on the arm or give his or her elbow a gentle squeeze. You'll probably do this action naturally if you're interested in the other person. It just means that you'd like to be closer to the other person, but since you can't, you're touching your face instead. If you stand or sit up straight, you'll automatically boost your own confidence. Your date will notice and likely find that confidence attractive. Also, be sure to look your date in the eye. It shows you have confidence, as well.

Article in English: Pay attention to your friends and how they make you feel. Surround yourself with people who don’t criticize or judge you because it can negatively affect your body image. As easy and obvious as it sounds, smiling can lower stress, even when you are forced to do it. Giving a big grin can actually make you feel better about yourself. Furthermore, people will see you as approachable and trusting. If you get a compliment, don’t deflect it, take it!  If you are uncertain about your looks, it may feel awkward to get compliments and your anxious reaction might be to deflect or down-play the compliment. But you should accept the compliment instead. Once you do this a few times, you’ll feel more comfortable with accepting compliments. For example, if someone compliments your shirt, you might tell them it is a hand-me-down that you only wore because all of your other clothes are dirty. This is a reflection of your anxiety about your looks and can make both you and the person who complimented you uncomfortable. Instead, just say thank you and fully enjoy the compliment you earned. When a person is judgmental, critical or downright mean, others may not perceive you as beautiful. This type of person is not fun to be around. He’s not a good friend and he’s not a source of positivity. Drop the negative comments and find something positive to say about other people. You’ll find that people will, in turn, respond to you much more positively. Remember that the media’s portrayal of beauty is designed to make you feel inferior so that you will buy beauty products and new clothes. Keep in mind that body images are not the average. They are also usually enhanced by digital software like Adobe Photoshop. People who recognize this and who are more media savvy often have better self-perceptions. ,  Read up on media literacy to learn how to recognize how the media exaggerates physical qualities.

Whether or not exercise actually changes your physical appearance, it can change your perception of yourself, which can lead to increased self esteem. A national survey of physical activity and weight has shown that people who were not satisfied with their body size were less likely to be physically active, regardless of how much they actually weighed. This finding suggests that just being physically active can be related to a better self-image.  The amount of exercise needs to be enough to give you a sense of accomplishment and needs to be regular, but does not need to be any specific type of exercise or be done for any specific amount of time. Certain foods, such as those high in carbohydrates and sugar, can cause you to become sluggish and negatively affect your mood. Foods that can improve your mood are those that are low in fat and release their energy slowly. These foods give energy for sustained periods of time and do not...

Article in English: Pay attention to your physical behavior. Notice how you react instinctively when your crush is around. Different people will react differently, and generally it will be a subconscious reaction. Generally, when you have a crush you will react in one of two ways--either by becoming really shy and tongue-tied, or by becoming really outgoing.   The Shy Reaction: Do you suddenly feel like you might like to curl up into a ball when your crush is around? Do you blush incessantly and can’t seem to raise your eyes up from that suddenly very interesting speck of dirt on the ground? Do you suddenly feel like you don’t have anything witty or interesting to say? All of these reactions tell that you like the guy or girl in question.  The Outgoing Reaction: Do you suddenly feel the urge to tease your potential crush? When they are around, do you get the sudden urge to talk a lot because you want their attention? These are all symptoms of a crush as well. Just make sure that you don’t make your crush uncomfortable if you act this way--try not to tease them too much or they might not want to hang out with you.  The Flirty Reaction: Do you feel like you want your crush to notice what you are wearing or how your hair is done that day? Do you feel like giggling and joking around? Maybe you suddenly feel the urge to make sure you look as good as possible so that your crush will notice you. Batting your eyes, flipping your hair over your shoulder, and playing with your hair are all signs that you have a crush. The most common sign of having  a crush is the feeling that you have a million butterflies flying around inside you when that special someone is around. It can also feel like your heart does a leap when you see your crush and you feel warm and giddy.  Do you suddenly feel nervous but excited at the same time? Maybe you feel like you want to hug that person or be with them all the time. These are all normal reactions to having a crush. Do you feel like you would give up anything to be near that person? Having a crush can...

Article in English: Pay close attention to how many calories you consume in a day and see if you can cut back (consult your doctor to find a safe and achievable goal).  This is especially useful if you are overweight or obese. Excess weight could be a source of elevated triglyceride levels. Most women should aim to consume 1,800 calories per day, while most men should aim for 2,000 calories per day (this may vary depending on activity level and other factors). If you are in graver need of losing weight or lowering your calories, your doctor may put you on special diet involving even fewer calories, but you should not put yourself on such a diet without approval from your doctor. Also avoid snacking late at night before you go to sleep. Consuming smaller, more frequent meals is better than eating two or three large ones. Moderate exercise is an essential part of lowering both cholesterol and triglyceride levels.  Resist the temptation to set a rigorous exercise regimen. You may think that starting out with a challenging exercise program will lower your triglycerides quicker, but this is a bad move in the long run. Starting with something too difficult increases the likelihood of you quitting the program sooner. Begin by introducing 10 minutes of exercise into your daily routine, adding a minute or two every week until you can comfortably reach 30 to 40 minutes per day.  However, aim for at least 150 minutes per week. Add variety to your routine. Walk one day, bike another, and follow an exercise DVD or Youtube video on another day. Get creative. By introducing variety into your exercise program, you can keep things from getting boring. It may also help you to find a form of exercise you actually consider to be fun! Quitting smoking is an essential step in reducing one's risk of heart disease, and also in lowering triglyceride levels.  Smoking contributes to several "cardiovascular risk factors," including increased blood clotting, damage to the arteries, and worse control of "lipid levels" (including triglycerides) in the blood....

Article in English: Pay close attention to your symptoms. People who have had a heart attack describe the pain as discomfort, chest tightness, a squeezing sensation, burning or an uncomfortable pressure or heaviness in the middle of the chest. This chest pain is called "Angina."  The pain may come and go. It typically starts out mild, gradually intensifies and peaks within the next few minutes. Pain does not worsen when applying pressure to the chest or when taking deep breaths, if it is the result of a heart attack. Typically this chest pain is brought on by exertion, any type of exercise or yard work, even a heavy meal in your blood as your blood flows and is moved towards your gastrointestinal tract. If the symptoms occur at rest, it is termed “Unstable Angina, and poses a greater risk of a lethal heart attack.Women and diabetics are more likely to experience atypical angina. There are several reasons you could be having chest pain. The most common are indigestion, panic attacks, a pulled muscle, and heart attacks.  If you have just eaten a rich meal or have just done a hard chest workout, you probably are having the symptoms due to reasons other than a heart attack. If you can't think of another reason for the symptoms, then assume you are having a heart attack and seek out help as soon as possible. During a heart attack, most people will have chest pain along with at least one other symptom. You often experience shortness of breath, dizziness or palpitations, sweating, or you may feel sick to your stomach and vomit.  Common heart attack symptoms include feeling a choking sensation or a lump in the throat, heartburn, indigestion, or the need to swallow repeatedly. A person having a heart attack may perspire and become chilled at the same time. She or he may have periods of cold sweats. Heart attack victims may feel numbness in either arm, hand or both. Some people experience a rapid and irregular heartbeat, heart palpitations, or shortness of breath. Look for atypical symptoms. For instance, although uncommon, the patient...

Article in English: Pay specially attention to those written by women who have experienced it, or who work with it! Reading about other women's experiences will help you to understand the variety of possibilities during menopause, as well as reassuring you that you're not experiencing menopause alone. A good book to begin with is Dr Christiane Northrup's The Wisdom of Menopause: The Complete Guide to Physical and Emotional Health During the Change. Use books or the internet to research physical and emotional symptoms. Knowing what to expect will help when you're feeling irritable, dissatisfied, or impatient. Tracing these moods back to the reality of menopause will help you to work through them, rather than viewing yourself as suddenly ill-tempered. There are plenty of stories about the dreadful journey women go through when experiencing menopause, often published in women's magazines. The reality is that these stories highlight the less usual experiences; the more sensational and unusual the experience, the more newsworthy but that doesn't mean it's a reflection of the average experience. Look for books and articles that reflect good or neutral experiences, rather than simply bad ones. If you don't know what to expect from menopause, you'll be more vulnerable to the horror stories, the pressure to undergo treatments that you might not necessarily want to have, and the worry that your changes are out of your control. One way to combat this is to simply hear first hand accounts from women that you know! This will expose you to a variety of unique experiences. Information is power that leads to wisdom. As you absorb information on menopause, trust your own intuition, your critical thinking skills, and especially your body to tell you what is true for you.  You probably know much more than you think!

Article in English: PayPal allows you to receive credit card payments on your Apple or Android device. This is especially convenient for people and small businesses that receive most of their payments on the street such as food trucks, small street vendors, etc. In the U.S., PayPal takes a 2.7% fee for every mobile card swipe. The rate is slightly higher if you manually input the card number or scan it with your phone's camera (3.5% + $.15 per payment.) The app is available for free in the Apple Store and Google Play Store. Install the app on your device. You'll be asked to log in with your PayPal account. The App will confirm your address and phone number. It will then offer to mail you your free Card Reader attachment. Use the confirmation code you were emailed to complete the signup process. You can choose to include your location, website, and Facebook. This information will appear on your customers' receipts. The simplest option is to input each sale individually, but you may also want to create a list of individually-priced products to choose from. When a customer is ready to pay, plug the PayPal Card Reader into your device's audio jack. You should receive a "Card Reader Connected" notification. Select "Card" on the next page. Swipe your customer's card through the card reader. The card should be positioned so that it is upside down with its strip is facing away from you.  When swiping, use one smooth, quick motion, ensuring that the entire magnetic strip passes through the card reader. If you don't have your Card Reader yet, you can still take credit card payments. You will be prompted to enter the card information manually or scan it using your phone. Click "Complete Purchase" to finalize the sale and receive payment. Offer to email the customer the receipt.

Article in English: PayPal is a good option for running a simple donation campaign. A PayPal payment button can be easily added to your website or blog and used to accept donations from anyone. The service allows people to donate to non-profits or private individuals through your email address. PayPal takes a fee out of each transaction. Donations received or sales within the US are subject to a 2.9% fee plus a $0.30 transaction fee. Qualified nonprofits may be able to lower that fee to 2.2% and $0.30 per transaction. The most widely used sites are Kickstarter, Indiegogo, RocketHub, and Quirky. These websites handle large volumes of crowdfunding campaigns. For example, over one billion dollars has been pledged to Kickstarter's projects. With these websites, you can take advantage of their brand name recognition to lend credibility to your campaign.  Projects for websites, brick and mortar businesses, music albums, books and inventions are commonly posted on these sites. Donors can search by location, type of project and popularity of projects. Be sure to examine the terms of each crowdfunding site and what services they offer. For example, some sites will help you create a convincing campaign, while others don't. Some will charge you based upon your earnings, while others charge a flat fee. Finally, some will not give you any money unless you reach your initial contribution goal, while others allow you to have any money raised. Look at these terms before signing up for an account on the website and consider which terms will be best for your project. For example, Kickstarter is best for creative projects, like art installations or a new product, but not for business crowdfunding or charities. In contrast, Indiegogo is more general and can be used for almost anything (except for equity crowdfunding). If you're raising money for education, consider using a website that focuses on this type of fundraising, like DonorsChoose. This website is specific to teachers and educators trying to fund projects in the classroom. Projects less...

Article in English: Paying attention to the way someone acts can help you figure out some key things about their character. It can be very interesting to watch how someone interacts with people they don't know. Pay attention to this in a variety of situations.  Maybe you are out on a first date. If your companion treats the waiter rudely, that can be a negative sign. People who are rude to strangers might also be rude to people they know. There might also be issues with a superiority complex. Perhaps you are in a taxi with a new co-worker. Observe how they treat the driver. If your colleague refuses to answer questions or make small talk, that can reveal some negative things about character. It might indicate an unwillingness to be kind to others. Make sure to observe the person in several different situations. You want to be able to see how they react in a variety of scenarios. You don't want to judge character based on one interaction.  Look for patterns in behavior. Is this person consistently rude to the other moms at your son's school? She may not be a nice person. However, you might see that most times your new neighbor behaves kindly. Just because there was one rude remark about your loud music, that doesn't necessarily mean they are a bad person. Remember that everyone has bad days and good days. The key is to try to observe the person in a variety of settings. Reading people can be hard. Unless you know someone well, you may not really have a good grasp of their character. Fortunately, there are some signs you can look for to help you figure it out.  Notice whether the person seems very quick to anger or likes to talk about violence. This can indicate some anger issues. Pay attention to a tendency to blame others. For example, maybe your co-worker always passes the blame if a client doesn't like the proposal. That can indicate some character flaws. Be wary if the person seems to lack compassion. If you have an acquaintance who never gives up his seat on the bus to an elderly women, that is another warning sign. Lying is...

Article in English: Paying attention to your horse’s eyes will help you understand how your horse is feeling (eg, alert, sleepy) at any given moment. Keep in mind that a horse’s vision is different from that of a person. For example, horses have a panoramic view of their environment (like a panoramic camera); because they are prey animals in the wild, it is important for them to have a wide view of their surrounding environment. Horses can also have poor depth perception, meaning that they cannot always perceive how deep or shallow something is; what we see as a shallow puddle may look like a bottomless pit to your horse.  If your horse’s eyes are bright and wide open, this means that your horse is alert and aware of his surroundings.  Eyes that are open only halfway indicate a sleepy horse.  If both of your horse’s eyes are shut, your horse is sleeping. If only one eye is open, it is possible that something is wrong with the other eye. You may need to call your veterinarian to determine why the other eye is closed.  Sometimes your horse will move his head in different directions to get a better of view of his surroundings. Horses will hold their ears in different ways to pick up different signals from their environment and indicate how they feel about what’s going on around them. Horses can move both their ears at one time, or move them individually.  Ears that are slightly forward indicate that a horse is relaxed. If your horse’s ears are pricked forward, he may be feeling interested in, or maybe even threatened by, his environment. If his ears indicate that he is feeling threatened, his nostrils will flare and his eyes will widen.  Ears that are flattened back are a clear sign that your horse is upset. If you are near your horse when you see this, move a safe distance away to protect yourself from injury. If one ear is back, then your horse is likely listening to something behind him.  If your horse’s ears are to the side, that means that he is concentrating yet relaxed. Horses can make a variety of facial expressions in...

Article in English: Pea-sized gravel is ideal, as it holds together well without leaving too much open space, but you could also use a handful of small stones from your garden. A gravel or stone base will help promote proper drainage and prevent the soil at the bottom of the container from becoming too compacted.  Sand or clay particles can also be used to give the lower part of the soil a well-drained, loamy texture. It will probably be okay to forego the gravel layer if you’re using a container with good drainage holes and you plan on raising your roses outdoors. Just about any standard commercial potting soil will work for growing a small crop of roses, so long as it’s rich in nitrogen and phosphorous. Avoid filling the container all the way to the top—if the soil is too heavy, your roses may have trouble breathing.  Look for mixtures that are specifically formulated for use with roses. These soils contain all of the essential nutrients that roses need to thrive. Alternatively, you can try making your own potting soil mixture using one part soil from your yard or garden, one part organic compost, and one part horse, cow, or mushroom manure. Add a handful of garden compost, animal manure, or peat moss to the soil and use a hand trowel to churn the mixture until the organic components have been fully incorporated. Organic amendments will infuse additional nutrients into the planting soil and make it easier for your roses to retain moisture.  Some gardening experts recommend adding a small scoop of bone meal or humus to larger rose plants that require extra nourishment. You can also use a slow-release fertilizer meant specifically for roses in your soil. Apply it as needed or as the packaging recommends.

Article in English: Peak flow meters only work properly if air is able to freely pass through them. Blowing into a meter that is obstructed by a foreign object will not provide an accurate reading and could cause unnecessary strain on your lungs.  Peak flow meters usually have an open orifice in the mouthpiece of the device; this is the area most likely to become obstructed, so check here first before use. When grasping the meter in your hand, make sure your fingers do not obstruct the sliding scale on top of the device. It is important to maintain good posture while using your peak flow meter because this will allow you to maximize your pre-test inhalation as well as your exhalation (which is measured by the device). Slouching or lying down while using the meter will not allow you to get a good reading. The sliding cursor on the back of the peak flow meter is what measures the force of your exhalation. If you do not zero the cursor before you use the meter, your reading will not be accurate. You can adjust the cursor by simply placing your finger on it and manually sliding it to the "zero" end of the scale, which is toward the mouthpiece of the meter. In order to register the most powerful exhalation you are capable of, you must first fill your lungs with air. Do this before inserting the peak flow meter into your mouth in order to ensure the fullest inward breath possible. Be sure to remove gum or anything else from your mouth before inhaling. Not only do you want to prevent blowing a foreign object into your peak flow meter, but you also don't want to accidentally inhale anything when you take your deep breath in. In order to get the best reading possible on the meter, you should place the mouthpiece between your front teeth and seal your lips around the opening. This will stabilize the meter and ensure that no air escapes from the sides of your mouth when you exhale. Pull your tongue backward, away from the mouthpiece, so you do not accidentally block the opening of the meter. The idea here is to get a hard, fast burst of...

Article in English: Peanut butter is a staple food for school age children because of its nutritional values and low cost. It's important to determine if your child is allergic before sending them to school where exposure is likely unless precautions are made in advance.  A young child with no family history of food allergies does not need a formal medical food allergy test regime. Children of peanut allergic siblings were studied and assessed with an ImmunoCap study to check for the allergy to peanuts. The study indicated that a peanut allergy was markedly and significantly increased in siblings of peanut allergic patients.   Allergies are believed to not appear until the 2nd exposure or later. Upon the first exposure the body may determine if the food is 'safe' or not, so small and gradual food introduction over weeks time may be the best approach, just like introducing any new food to a baby. The mucus membranes may be sensitive if the person is highly allergic, so eating the food is not always a requirement to test. First check to see if you child has an aversion to the odor (sinus pain or sneezing), any skin reaction on the back of the hand, or any burning or tingling with the food on the lips. With any high risk, top-8 food it's best to take it slow, because once the allergen is in the stomach, you aren't going to get it all out even if they vomit. It is commonly believed that peanut allergies tend to be more severe that other food allergies. Some allergic responses to food can happen within about two hours of eating the food. Others, such as anaphylaxis, can happen within minutes. If the allergy symptoms are on the mild end of the scale, track how much time elapsed between eating the food and developing the symptoms. Pay attention to other allergies. Between 25% and 35% of those allergic to peanuts have allergies to tree nuts as well. If the individual is presenting allergy symptoms when he eats tree nuts he may also be allergic to peanuts. If you suspect a peanut allergy, check the labels on foods that have been recently...

Article in English: Peanut sauce is great as a topping or as a dipping sauce for a variety of dishes, including stir fry, rice noodles, pork skewers and other grilled meats. The ingredients are basic pantry items that you can keep on hand to whip up a quick Thai dinner on the cheap. Mix 2-3 tablespoons of your favorite peanut butter in a bowl with about a tablespoon of brown sugar, a teaspoon each of soy sauce, sesame seed oil, rice vinegar, and grated ginger, and sweet chili sauce to taste. Stir in a small amount of boiling water to thin the sauce to a consistency you like, adding more if necessary. Taste and adjust the spices to your taste. Serve on noodles or stir fry, topped with chopped peanuts, green onion, and cilantro. If you’ve got some leftover peanut sauce, a great use for it can be to mix up a cool-spicy coleslaw with shredded cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, green onion, cilantro, and chopped peanuts. While Americans like to claim peanut butter, the use of the peanut in African cuisine predates the use of peanuts in the Americas by hundreds of years. One of the most famous iterations and uses of groundnuts like the peanut is a spicy and aromatic broth flavored with peanuts and meat. It's delicious and simple to prepare. To make your own version, bring a whole chopped 3 lb. roaster chicken to boil in a pot with chicken stock, onion, garlic, two chopped tomatoes, and black pepper. When it boils, reduce to a simmer. In a skillet, gently heat a few tablespoons of chunky peanut butter with some hot water to thin it out and create a sauce. Season with red chili paste, ground ginger, brown sugar, and soy sauce to taste. When the oil starts to release from the peanut sauce, add it to the stock pot with the chicken and the vegetables. Let cook for 30 minutes. A fun treat for school lunches or after-school snacks can be making up some simple sushi rolls with sandwich bread, fruit, and peanut butter.

Article in English: Peanuts have a long growing season and require 100 to 130 frost-free days to reach maturity.  If you live in a cooler, Northern region, you should start the plants indoors roughly one month before the last anticipated frost. If you live in a warmer, Southern region, you can either plant the peanuts directly outdoors after the last frost or start them indoors a few weeks prior to the last frost. You can plant raw peanuts purchased at the grocery store, but you might find it easier to grow peanuts if you start with seed peanuts purchased from a gardening store.  Note that peanuts used as seeds must remain in their shells until just before planting. Otherwise, they will dry out too quickly and will fail to produce. Never use roasted peanuts. These will not germinate. Use a bowl or starter pot roughly 4 inches (10 cm) deep and fill it about 2/3 full with potting soil.  If the soil is not already damp, moisten it with a watering can now, before you add the seed peanuts. The safest container to use would be a paper or peat pot since you can place the entire seedling, pot and all, into the ground when transplanting. You could use a plastic bowl or pot if that is your only alternative, though. Make sure that container is clean before you plant the peanuts, especially if you are using a plastic container. Wash it with warm water and soap, rinse well, and dry with clean paper towels. Arrange four peanuts, with their shells removed, equidistant from each other on top of the soil, pressing them gently into the soil. Cover with roughly 1 inch (2.5 cm) of loose, moist soil.  When shelling the peanuts, make sure that you do not remove the brown paper coating surrounding each nut seed. If you remove this or damage it, the peanuts may not germinate. You could plant the peanuts without removing the shell first, but they will grow quicker if you do remove the shell. If the soil is not moist when you add it, lightly water it with a watering can or spray bottle until it is moist to the touch but not soaked. If planting the seeds...

Article in English: Pedialyte is an electrolyte drink used to hydrate human babies that are sick. If your baby raccoon has been left alone for too long, you will want to start by feeding him Pedialyte, and hydrate him before moving on to a milk replacement. Pedialyte is sold in most drug stores. When it comes to actual “food” for your baby raccoon, the very best choice is KMR, or kitten milk replacement, which can be found at most pet stores. This formula for baby cats will most closely resemble raccoon milk. Esbilac is your second best option. This is a meal replacement formula for puppies. Like KMR, Esbilac is available at most pet stores. This milk replacement formula for baby dogs will be a suitable alternative to raccoon milk. Cow’s milk, goat’s milk, soymilk, and most other milk products for humans will make the baby raccoon sick. Administering these products can lead to severe dehydration, malnutrition, and possibly even death. Use human infant formula, only in an emergency. In addition to the Pedialyte and KMR, you will need a few supplies. You’ll want to gather up an eyedropper, a pet bottle (or a human baby bottle with a premie nipple), a blanket, a washcloth or feather, and a hot water bottle.
