Article in English: As a loner, it can sometimes be hard to get out of the house as you may wonder what you can do by yourself without feeling weird. However, if you think about it you will find that there are lots of things you can go do alone to have some fun.  Going to the movies is a great thing to do alone. Find a movie you've been wanting to see, pick up some popcorn, and enjoy the film. Going to the movies with people is all well and good, but when you think about it, it seems a bit silly since you don't talk to each other the whole time the movie is showing anyways. Try out different coffee shops. Coffee shops have become very popular in the past few years, so there are more and more popping up every day. Take a book or, if you like drawing, a sketchpad. Order a nice coffee or tea, and just enjoy a few hours out of the house. Try out a restaurant you've been interested in. If there is a restaurant you're interested in, there is no reason you should feel embarrassed to go alone. If you're worried that people will stare at you, try to go during an off-peak time. Go for a walk or a run. Another great thing to do alone is just to go out and enjoy nature. Go for a walk or jog in a nearby park and you'll be doing something good for you and your health. One part of going out in public that can make a loner feel nervous is the possibility that someone will try to chat casually with you. If you want to avoid this, put on a pair of headphones or have a book to read while you are waiting around or riding public transport. This will discourage people from engaging in idle chat. This doesn't guarantee that no one will talk to you. Some especially outgoing people are hard to deter. If someone talks to you and you aren't interested in the conversation, keep your answers short and don't ask questions that will encourage the conversation. If you are not used to going out by yourself to do things, you might feel as though everyone is staring at you, which will distract you from enjoying what you are doing. Try to remember that it is...

Article in English: As a medicine, both maca root and powder have traditionally been used to treat anemia, chronic fatigue, and to boost energy. It also enhances both physical and sexual performance as well as male and female libido by balancing hormones. It can also be taken to enhance energy. Maca can be purchased as a powder, as a flour, or as a supplement, usually in capsule form. You can buy it in many health food stores, nutritional stores, or from online vendors that specialize in herbs and natural remedies. Look for organic maca root from Peru, as this is the species that has been studied the most. Maca has been used for thousands of years as a food staple. There are no known safety issues as long as you use the recommended dosing. However, you should always talk to your doctor about new things you put into your diet that you use to treat certain health issues.  Maca may interact with sildenafil and other drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction. Make sure to check with your doctor before using maca if you are taking a prescription drug for erectile dysfunction. Rare allergic reactions have been reported, but those are minimal and non-lethal.  Since maca root regulates hormones, it is not recommended that you take them if you are pregnant or nursing.  Even though maca is very safe, it is always recommended that you talk to your physician to be certain that maca can benefit you.

Article in English: As a parent, it's important that you build a foundation of trust. Trust translates to many roles in parenting. Of course, your child needs to know that they can rely on you to be there. When you say you’ll do something, do it. Keep your word. This helps your child form basic secure attachments that will influence future relationships.  However, trust also means respecting your child’s need for privacy and keeping their confidences when they do share with you.  Trust doesn’t necessarily mean you believe whatever your child says, but it does mean you’ll try and give them the benefit of the doubt. Parents are busy. But, you also want to make sure your children know that you care about what they have to say. Even if your child is complaining about the same issue at school or going on and on about teenage drama, try to give them your full attention. When you actively listen, you strengthen your bond with your child and demonstrate their importance to you.  Silence your phone and shut off the TV. Don’t zone them out in order to prepare your response. Truly listen to your child and try to understand their message. Turn to face them. Make eye contact. Use  open body language. Listen without judgment or negative facial expressions.  Once they’re finished speaking, summarize what you heard. For instance, your daughter says, “All the girls at school are going to this camp-out next weekend. But, we have to go to that stupid wedding.” You might say, “It sounds like you are frustrated because you can’t attend the camp-out.” Every child pushes the envelope a bit when it comes to communication and behavior. However, as the adult, you are must be inclined to respond maturely and calmly to misconduct. Go by the 3 F’s to help you with discipline and protect the overall parent-child relationship.  Be firm. State what the consequences are and apply them consistently. Be fair. Make sure the punishment fits the crime. Try to avoid harsh or excessive consequences. Be friendly. Convey your words in steady yet polite tone. Avoid...

Article in English: As a rule of thumb, a healthy diet for most bird breeds consists of 75% pellets and 25% human table foods. Since precise dietary requirements are dependent on the species, talk with an avian veterinarian to see what type of food your breed of bird needs. Over time, you'll begin to see patterns emerging in the types of food that your bird prefers.  Ensure that you have correct feed for the species of bird. You must find the correct food for your bird, as some birds are picky, while others have very strict dietary requirements. Usually the bag/can of food will have a label telling you which breed of bird it is for. If you don't know what the best food choices are, ask the breeder, the retailer or leave a question on a specialized forum of people who care for this species of bird. Bird pellets, crumbles, or nuggets can be a good way of ensuring adequate nutrition for your bird. These tend to combine healthy seeds, vegetables, fruits, and grains, so the bird can eat a nutritionally balanced diet. These are preferable to a seed mix, which allows birds to pick out tasty seeds and leave the healthy ones behind. Feed new seed daily; always empty out the eaten shells the same day too, as this keeps the seed fresh and clean. This adds greens and variety to their diet. A mixture or variety of foods is both healthy and fun for birds. Cut up and serve your bird a variety of fruits and veggies, including oranges, berries, spinach, and celery. You can also give your bird nuts and cooked beans for flavor and variety with their meals. There should be a water dish provided; fill this daily with average temperature water. Give your bird water in a large, shallow dish, since birds can struggle to drink out of deep dishes. Change water daily to ensure that it is always fresh.  Place the water dish at the opposite end of the bird's cage from the food dish. This will force them to move around and be active to eat and drink. Dehydration can occur very quickly in birds, within 1 to 2 days without access to water. Water and food cups...

Article in English: As a rule of thumb, you should change your vacuum filter every one to three months or every four to six uses. However, the frequency with which you clean a vacuum filter depends on how often you vacuum. To keep your appliance in the best working order, check the filter before each use and clean it if it's covered with a layer of dirt or debris. Most air purifier manufacturers recommend cleaning both washable and vacuum-only HEPA filters once every three months. Remember that your filter will get dirtier if you live in a dusty environment or use your appliance more frequently, so check the filter periodically and clean it more often if necessary. Check your user guide for your product manufacturer's recommendations for your specific model. There's no need to be afraid of cleaning your HEPA filter before it's due. As long as you clean your washable or vacuum-only filter using the correct method, you shouldn't worry about cleaning it more often than the user guide recommends. In general, the cleaner you keep your filter, the more efficiently your appliance will operate. Some air purifier models come with an electronic filter clean reminder. The timer either keeps track of the appliance's hours in use, which is a more reliable guide, or just tracks calendar days. You should check your filter regularly instead of relying on the reminder timer alone, especially if it doesn't track actual time in use.  If you don't use the appliance often, the filter might not need to be cleaned when the timer light comes on. On the other hand, if you always keep the appliance on, but the timer tracks calendar days instead of actual time in use, you'll likely need to clean the filter more often than the timer recommends. You can check your user guide to find out if your appliance tracks use time or calendar days. Since filter replacement standards will depend on your appliance type and model, it's best to check your user guide for information about replacing your filter. In general, washable and vacuum-only HEPA filters are designed...

Article in English: As a shy person, she might not trust you immediately. Over time, you’ll have to prove yourself. Keep all promises you make to her. If she makes a social faux pas, don’t blab it to your friends. You could also tell her something you’ve only shared with one or two other people. You’ll know you’re making progress when she starts sharing what’s important to her. Tell her yourself, as opposed to having a friend tell her for you. Stay calm and relaxed. Profess your feelings naturally and casually. When there’s a lull in the conversation, say something like, “I really enjoy talking to you and being with you. Would you be interested in taking our friendship to the next level?”  Don’t hide behind a phone or computer screen. Tell her in person. Break the news to her when you’re alone to prevent her from feeling embarrassed. Avoid complimenting her appearance in the beginning. She might think you're being sarcastic. Get to know her before you ask her out. When you do ask her out, work it into the conversation. Start talking about a new movie you want to see, an event happening over the weekend, or a local place you’ve been wanting to visit. Try questions like:  “Speaking of that new Mediterranean restaurant, I’ve been meaning to go but never got the chance. How about going with me Friday night?” “That guy’s a riot! You know, I have an extra ticket to his stand-up act this weekend, if you’d like to come along.” Start with slight actions. For example, you could touch her hand when she borrows your pencil. If she reacts positively, continue. If she doesn't, back off, at least for the time being. The worst thing you can do is try to pressure a shy person into something that makes them feel uncomfortable.

Article in English: As a single man trying to adopt, many family and friends might question your motivations and not understand why you would want the responsibility of raising a child on your own. Despite the backlash, you never have to legally worry about a family member or a friend derailing the adoption process. Educate them regarding the benefits of adopting and how rewarding an endeavor it is. Let them know of all the benefits and joys of raising an adopted child. Let them know that their support is crucial for the adoption to be a success. Try not to keep your adoption a secret unless it would bring harm to you or your child's wellness or physical well-being. Although domestic adoption is legal for single men, not all agencies support that perspective. Agencies might not accept single men as potential parents, they might delay the adoption process or offer you children that they know you would not be able to handle.  It is important to demonstrate to an adoption agency that you have a plan in place and have the means to carry out. It is also a good idea to reveal your thoughts about single-parenthood to prove that you have considered all perspectives. Displaying true determination and assertiveness to an adoption agency will prove that you are serious about completing the adoption process and raising a child by yourself. As a single man, it would be wise to participate in a home study. A home study will evaluate your character, community, childhood, living arrangements, financial records, and the overall desire to adopt. Because single male applicants are not desirable among some adoption agencies, a home study will go a long way in proving your seriousness. Single-parent adoption is still highly debated. Many agencies and birth mothers will never agree to a single-man adoption because they argue that it will deprive an infant a nurturing mother and deny older children a traditional two-parent family.  Adoption agencies have established qualifications for adoptive parents based on age, previous children, financial status,...

Article in English: As a single man, you must realize the difficulties involved because of both your gender and your marital status. Recent trends make adopting children by single men more acceptable, but men are likely the most prejudiced against demographic among people looking to adopt.  Research which countries will allow a single man to adopt a child. Not all countries are open-minded to the possibility of having one parent let alone it being a man. Consider your age, career, and capacity to raise an infant. It may be more suitable to prefer a teenager or a child with a disability who would love to have a father. Be prepared to adopt an older child or a child with disabilities. A severe shortage of adoptive parents for these children makes single men an attractive option to fill this role. There are several different ways to proceed when considering adoption. Adoption is handled by public and private agencies, adoption attorneys, facilitators, or some combinations of this list. There are few solid rules about age, marital status, or sources of income to become a candidate to adopt.   Age requirements are flexible, but successful prospective applicants are usually in the 25-50 age range. The type of child you are adopting will have some influence on age requirements, but no actual rule exists to determine this. As an adoptive parent, this can be your first child, one of many children, or you can even already have adult children by the time you decide to adopt. Most agencies, some more reluctant than others, accept single, gay and lesbian, and disabled parent applicants. There are no predetermined income levels and home ownership is not a requirement either. Your income can originate from a variety of sources: employment, pension, or disability payments. The cost of adoption is expensive, but is varied depending on which agency you choose. Adopting an international, special needs teenager, through a public or government agency is more affordable than adopting a domestic, Caucasian baby, through a private agency. From the...

Article in English: As a sort of "super-food," oatmeal is not just edible but has number of healing uses: it can moisturize skin, reduce itching, serve as an emollient, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It can also protect against sun damage and the inflammation of certain skin conditions. You should be able to find oatmeal at any food store or supermarket. Whole oats -- not instant -- work better for bathing. Avoid flavored varieties, as well. Pour rolled oats into a nylon stocking or some muslin cloth. The amount you will need for a child is about 1/3 cup. Then, tie a knot in the fabric so that the oats cannot spill out. The key is to use a fabric that will hold the oats while allowing the water to pass through. Make sure the water is at an appropriate level and temperature for your child. Not too hot, but warm enough to be soothing to the touch and to activate the oats' healing properties. Lukewarm to warm water is best. Leave the oat sachet in the water and let it soak for a few minutes. The oatmeal will soon let off a milky liquid that soothes itching. Once the oats are good and soaked, place your child in the water with them. Take care, as the oatmeal will make the tub more slippery than usual. Let your child soak in the oat bath for between 15 to 20 minutes. Lift the sachet and allow the milky water to gently dribble from the oats onto your child's skin surface. Rather than rubbing, pat your child dry with the towel to avoid aggravating their itchy skin.

Article in English: As a teacher, especially if you're working with young children, it's better to offer an alternative behavior than scold a child for disobedience. Provide direct, clear instructions on how a child should behave when you see him or her behaving poorly.  When a child is behaving poorly, explain how they should be behaving and tell them why the behavior you're suggesting is better.  For example, if you see one of your students running at the pool, don't say: "Mason, no running." Instead, try: "Mason, it'll be safer if you walk, as you'll avoid falling and getting hurt." Children tend to be more receptive to being told what to do rather than simply being scolded for bad behavior. " Timeout is no longer popular disciplinary practice for young children as isolating a child can be frustrating. However, a time-in can remove a child from a distressful situation. If you suspect one of your students is behaving poorly due to stress or overexertion, propose a time-in.  Create private, cozy areas in your classroom where kids can sit and relax if they're being disruptive. Provide pillows, books, stuffed toys, and other calming items.  The idea is that the child is not being punished, but learning that he needs to regulate emotions better if he wants to participate in class.  Discipline should be a learning opportunity. When you have a moment, tell the child why their behavior was disruptive and brainstorm ideas on how to better cope the next time they get emotional or rowdy in class.  Parents could benefit from a time-in as well! If you're a parent, have a designated time-in space in your home where your child can go to calm down if they're struggling to regulate their emotions. Use positive statements and avoid negatives. Children may be disrespectful if they feel they're being disrespected. Don't use statements like, "I'm not going to help you with that problem until you try to work it out yourself." This will make the child feel he's done something wrong by struggling. Instead, say "I think you'll learn more if you try...

Article in English: As a team leader, you know that practice is just as important as the game. Just like in games, you need to be willing to work hard to show your teammates that it’s important. Compete in every drill or practice session, and force your teammates to work hard to beat you. If you expect your teammates to follow your example, make sure you are the kind of person they want to follow. Stop rumors and gossip, and look for ways to encourage your teammates at all times.  You need to be familiar with all of your teammates, including the best ways to motivate them. Not everyone responds to motivation the same way, so you’ll need to know the best ways to motivate and encourage each of them individually. Avoid team cliques. You are part of a team made up of players, not a team made up of teams. You won’t be able to make everyone friends, but you should be willing to break up groups that exclude other members. If you have personal issues with a teammate, it is always better to discuss them in private. You want to avoid calling out teammates in public, which can cause embarrassment, and make the disagreements worse. While the coach is in charge of the team, he can’t be everywhere at once, and will probably need your help. If you notice someone who needs help, offer it rather than waiting for the coach to notice. If it is time for practice to start, and your coach is doing something else, set up some stretching or a drill to make sure you are doing something productive. If you notice problems developing in teammate’s habits or their level of play that the coach can’t solve, call a player’s-only meeting to help one another discuss issues without the coach looking over everyone. Your team will work better when you are happy together. Find ways to build team spirit and encourage your teammates to interact with one another away from practices and games.  Some good ways include holding a team dinner or party, making a team motto and even printing up shirts with it, or maybe creating a silly postgame tradition to recognize good...

Article in English: As adults, termites and ants can be easily confused. That said, the larvae of the two species are very different. If you’re uncertain if you have termites or ants, try to inspect the larvae if you can find them.  Termite larvae look like a smaller version of the adult worker and nymph termites; they have a separate, segmented head, legs, and antennae.  Ant larvae look like grubs. They have no legs or eyes, nor do they appear to have a separate, segmented head. They are also covered in tiny hairs. Like termite larvae, psocids (also known as booklice) are small and white. That said, booklice only grow between 1/16 and 1/8 of an inch long (between 1.6 and 3.2 mm). They do not feed on wood; rather, they eat the fungus that grows on wood, books, and other starchy objects in moist environments.  If you do not have any damage to the wood or other signs of termites, you may have found psocids instead of termite larvae. To be sure, take a few insects in to your local pest control. Places where psocids are found include books, newspapers, moldy foods and grains, old wallpaper, cardboard boxes, and other paper products. In comparison, termites are often found in walls, wood piles, stumps, crawl spaces, and other wooden areas. Termites are not the only insect to feed on wood. Powderpost beetles look distinctively different than termites. They have darker, harder bodies, and some may be covered with fine hairs. Powderpost larvae are white and C-shaped. They have tiny spines along their back. The best way to know if you have powderpost beetles or termites is to hire an exterminator. They may be able to identify the pest based on the pattern of damage they leave behind. Maggots are another type of larva, but they grow into flies instead of termites. Like termites, they are white with soft bodies. That said, unlike termite larvae, maggots do not have a distinct head or if they do, it is not visible. They may have legs, but the rest of their body is shaped like a tube. Maggots are often found in rotting material, such as old...

Article in English: As all readers on a budget know, paperback is the cheapest option out there. Trade paperbacks may be up to $10-$15 cheaper. Mass-market versions, which are the cheaply made “short and fat” editions, may even cost less than $10. Most books are first released as hardbacks, then re-released in a paperback form a few months later as a marketing boost. If you’ve been waiting and waiting for a book to come out, treat yourself with the more expensive copy so you can devour it right away. Lightweight and floppy, paperbacks are great for plane and car rides or even your daily commute. Stash a paperback in your bag or even in your back pocket if you’ll have downtime to do some reading during the day. Hardbacks are built to last, able to withstand both daily wear and tear and the test of time. Paperbacks are easier to rip, wrinkle and stain, and over time, the glue of the spine may weaken or the paper start to deteriorate. If you’d rather not dedicate all that time and effort to preserving a paperback, choose a longer-lasting hardcover. If you’re gifting a book to a friend or family member, try to go for a hardback edition. They look nicer and feel more satisfying to open as a gift, and your loved one will appreciate that you sprung for the fancier version. Don’t worry if you don’t have the funds for a hardback copy, or if it’s out of stock. The most important thing is that you’ve chosen a good book for your loved one to enjoy!

Article in English: As always, be aware that editing the registry risks causing major problems. Make a backup before you begin, and do not make any unnecessary changes. Only follow this guide if you do not have physical access to the computer. If you do, use the standard user tools to enable remote desktop without editing the registry. Run services.msc from the Start menu search box. You can also find the Services MMC through Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Services. You only need the MMC to start Remote Registry. If the remote computer is running Windows XP, this is probably already running. Skip down to "connect to the remote registry." In the Services MMC, right-click "Services (Local)" and select "Connect to another computer." Enter the name of your remote machine. Once connected, find the Remote Registry service in the MMC and start it, if it isn't already running. Open regedit. Select File → Connect Network Registry.... Type the remote computer name under "Select Computer" and click Check Names. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server. Look for the REG_WORD value named fDenyTSConnections in the Terminal Server details pane. Double click this to open the EDIT DWORD Value box. In this box, set the Value Data field to 0. Some systems give you immediate access, and some require you to restart the remote computer first. Attempt to connect to Remote Desktop to check. (If you left the MMC open, you can quickly start Remote Desktop from there.) There are several ways to do this. The simplest is to open Command Prompt and enter shutdown /i. In the dialog box that opens, select "Restart" from the drop down menu, and enter the name of the remote computer. Try accessing Remote Desktop again once the computer is done restarting.

Article in English: As always, wash your fruit thoroughly with soapy water. You'll be eating this peel, so you don't want any pests or pesticides on it. This tools is not ideal if you want the zest for recipes, but it will work if you have no other options. Drag the vegetable peeler slowly and gently over the upper surface of the peel. Try to get as little of the white peel as possible. Once a strip of peel is removed, mince it as finely as you can to create zest. This zest will be less flavorful than grated zest, and especially microplaned zest. You may want to use more to make up for this, but keep in mind the pieces will also be more noticeable and less attractive. Remove a short, wide strip of zest as described above. Hold the strip with the peel side down over the drink, then twist it with your thumbs and forefingers to release oils onto the drink. Rub the strip against the glass rim for additional flavor, then drop it onto the drink surface. The bitter white pith will be especially noticeable in a cocktail. The underside of the strip should have several pores where the yellow skin is visible. If there's a thick white layer instead, carefully scrape off some of the pith with a paring knife.

Article in English: As an alternative to stopping "cold turkey", you might decide to ease yourself into less or no porn use. Make goals for certain periods of time based on whether you want to stop watching altogether or become a more moderate viewer. Doing this will help the transition happen more smoothly, as you will only have to take on small behavioral challenges at a comfortable pace. For example, say your goal is to watch only 3 times per week. You could begin by cutting your use down to once a day at the times when you most want to watch, like before going to sleep. Remove temptation to watch more often than your goal allows. It can be helpful to limit or cut off your access to the majority of sources of pornography. Here are some more specific ideas to use depending on your personal viewing habits:  If you usually watch porn on DVDs, scratch them up with a pen or paperclip before throwing them away. If you use magazines, tear out individual pages and put them through a paper shredder or recycle bin. If you use the internet, try using a browser extension or other software that will help you limit the sites you can open. These Internet censors, like StayFocusd or Net Nanny act the way parental controls do—slowly you can block websites altogether, should you choose to. They also monitor the time you spend on chosen sites. If you use a PC, you can also block your frequently visited sites by editing your hosts file on a Windows system editing hosts file. There are many things you can do to make sure that your environment is set up such that porn use becomes more difficult and less of a temptation. Start with your computer itself, or your phone if you also watch on that device.  Clean up your computer by removing viruses and malware that give you lots of pornographic ads and pop-ups. Remember to also remove any files you have stored. Try eliminating the privacy that normally encourages you to watch by moving your whole computer set up to a common area of your home.

Article in English: As an alternative, you can simply use an empty cardboard tube from a roll of toilet paper. Thread the string so that you will be able to dangle the cardboard securely from the end. The toy should begin to look like a pendulum that you will swing in front of your cat. This will keep the cardboard sitting on the string and hold the toy together while you move it around. The goal is to make the toy agile and maneuverable so that when you move it, it will look as much as possible like a living thing. This allows your pet to feel like it is catching prey.

Article in English: As annoying as it may be, whatever it is that your parents are bothering you about isn't going to go away by simply ignoring it. Though you might be angry and irritable, it's important to hear what they are saying with a clear head. Don't respond until you know they've said everything they have to say. Listening won't just help you understand the problem; the respectful gesture will also bode well for your relationship with your parents. Keep in mind how many times you've been nagged to do this one thing before. If it's something small and they've been bothering you about it for weeks, it's probably much easier to oblige them rather than hold off. The broken record technique is a great way to show other people that repeating statements or nagging you won't get anywhere. Each time the same issue ("Can you go do the laundry?", "Have you done your homework yet?") is brought up, respond with the same short, placating answer. Responding to a repetitive request with an equally repetitive answer will give your parents a taste of how annoying the constant nagging will be.  For example: If you're asked to take out the garbage multiple times, you can reply simply: "I will take out the garbage soon." Keep it short and vague. Another example: If your parents are harassing you to get a job, you can respond by saying "I can just as easily do that on my own time." Keep the wording similar or the same each time; that way, it'll be that much more obvious that you're getting fed up of the repetition. It's important not to do this in an aggressive, or passive-aggressive way. You're not trying to start a fight here; you're just trying to cope with the nagging for the time being. If your parents begin to nag you for something new, chances are they won't give you a strict deadline to follow. Next time they mention a new task for you to do, give them a time you'll do it by, so long as they agree to stop nagging you about it. To make the agreement more interesting, suggest they do the task themselves, should they end up nagging you...

Article in English: As chickenpox scars can be difficult to remove, it's best to work on preventing their occurrence to begin with. Using the correct medications for the duration of your symptoms can greatly reduce the risk of scarring. Your general practitioner will likely prescribe anti-itch creams as well as a round of antibiotics. Take all medication as directed. Finish antibiotics even after symptoms lesson. An oatmeal bath can soothe your skin. This can result in less scratching and, therefore, less scaring.  To take an oatmeal bath, place a mugful of uncooked oatmeal into a muslin bag and tie it with a string. Fill a tub with lukewarm water and drop the bag in the bath. Squeeze the bag until a cloudy white substances fill the water. Soak for about 20 minutes. Scratching is a major contributor to the development of chickenpox scars. Young children may have to wear scratch mitts to prevent the temptation to scratch. This means wrapping their hands in oven mitts or other protective coverage to discourage scratching. This is particularly effective if you have a toddler with chickenpox.

Article in English: As described in the section on breeding, pheasants require plenty of space, hidden nooks, and vegetation. Even then, many species are notoriously reluctant to brood. Check daily to see whether any of your hens have become broody. If they have, you can leave the incubation process to the mothers. If the pheasants refuse to brood, you can give the eggs to other poultry species. Because the possible transfer of disease is specific to species and region, speak to a local pheasant breeder or veterinarian before you try this. If the females do not have space to hide from males, the males may become aggressive or destroy the eggs. The risk is greater after the chicks have hatched, so consider moving the males out of the pen once your hens are brooding. Occasionally, a male will help the female brood. If you're a backyard breeder who's not too invested in the outcome, you can try keeping in the rooster for the first season and seeing what happens. Newly hatched chicks cannot fly and may die if the pop hole (the entrance to the roost) is too high to reach. A ramp allows the chick to follow the mother up and down. Sand ramps are best, as solid ramps usually leave crevices that chicks can get lost or stuck in. Also provide ramps between any "steps" in the pen. Chicks easily drown even in small bodies of water. Empty these or surround them with chick-proof barriers. Birds in adjacent pens can catch chicks through the mesh. If two pens share a wall, block the area low to the ground with a solid barrier. Also make sure you are using a mesh fine enough to prevent chicks from walking through the holes.

Article in English: As difficult as it is to see your ex with another partner, you need to respect her personal boundaries. Give her space and take some time to build your confidence, make personal changes related to your breakup, and gain a fresh perspective.  The best ways to show that you truly care about her are to respect her choices and to allow her to find happiness. For now, that might not be with you. In time, you might both be in a position to rekindle your romance.  It’s best not to try to get back together if she’s seeing someone else. However, even if you don’t want to wait until she’s single, you should still take time to build your confidence and clear your mind. Think about the events leading up to the breakup, and try to objectively evaluate what caused it. Reflecting on the breakup can help you identify the changes you might need to make to rebuild the relationship. Alternatively, you might realize that you broke up for a good reason and that, despite the pain, it’s for the best.  Ask yourself, “Were there any warning signs? Did we seem to grow apart over time, or was the breakup sudden? What role did I play, and what changes can I make so we wouldn't fall into the same pattern if we got back together?” Additionally, be honest with yourself about your compatibility with her. Upon reflection, you might find that fundamental differences between you and your ex led to the breakup. For instance, she might not want children, but that’s a deal breaker for you. If you want to win your ex back, you’ll need to show how you’ve addressed the ways that you contributed to the breakup. Even if you aren’t able to rekindle the relationship, making personal changes can help you be a better partner in future relationships.  Holding yourself accountable doesn’t necessarily mean you’re entirely responsible for the breakup. Don’t look for ways to blame yourself or dwell on what you could have done. Just focus on finding opportunities to become a more fulfilled person. For example, perhaps you prioritized work over your...

Article in English: As difficult as it may be, leave your blisters alone and avoid scratching. They will crust over and then fall off on their own. If you scratch them, they will open up and become more susceptible to infection. You will also spread bacteria with your hands if you scratch at the blisters. If this does happen inadvertently, always wash your hands afterward to stay hygienic. Baking soda has a pH greater than 7 (making it alkaline), giving it the ability to neutralize the chemical that creates the itching sensation. The chemical creating the itching sensation is acidic with a pH that is less than 7.  Apply a paste made of 3 teaspoons baking soda mixed with 1 teaspoon of water. This relieves itching and helps the blisters dry out quicker. You can apply this paste as often as needed to relieve the itching. Use a cool, moist compress to ease discomfort. You can apply this compress for up to 20 minutes at a time, several times a day. You can make a cold compress by wrapping an ice block in a clean towel and pressing it against your skin. Alternatively, you can use a bag of frozen vegetables. Just make sure not to put it directly on your skin and not to keep it on your skin for more than 20 minutes at a time as both of these conditions can lead to tissue damage. Apply a topical cream, such as nonprescription benzocaine cream, directly after your cool compress application. Benzocaine works as an anesthetic, numbing the nerve endings in the skin. As an alternative, talk to your doctor about prescription 5% Lidocaine patches. You can apply the patch to the area where you're experiencing the pain, as long as your skin is intact. You can apply as many as 3 patches at once. You can wear your patches for up to 12 hours in a 24 hour period.

Article in English: As discussed in the previous method, with the variety of chocolates available, it's safe to assume that all kinds bake slightly differently. Here's a few basics:  Melting chocolate is clearly best (hence why they call it melting chocolate). White chocolate and milk chocolate sometimes don't handle well. If you're new to the melting game, start with something easier. A good percentage of cocoa is around 70-75%. Much more and it gets bitter and is better for baking. . The best part about this method is that it prevents scorching. Wahoo! The microwave is much quicker but it's rather precarious; with the double boiler, unless you're cursed, your chocolate should be fine. In the bottom of your double boiler, place enough water until it hits about an 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) below the upper pan. Put the double boiler over low heat, heating the water. The smaller your bits of chocolate, the faster it'll melt (and with the double boiler method, you're already looking at 15-20 minutes). Fill the top of the double boiler (the level not touching the water) with as much chocolate as you need. And keep stirring!  This is perhaps the most important note of all: do not let the chocolate come into contact with even a single drop of water. If you do, it'll get grainy and, quite frankly, disgusting. So watch out! Don't be tempted to up the heat. Keeping it on low will result in a smooth chocolate that has a glossy sheen when it's cooled. You want to bring the chocolate to around 100-105°F (38°C), but not higher. Once it hits that point, remove the bowl from the heat and add in the rest of your chocolate, which should knock down the overall temperature to about 90°F (32°C). Keep stirring. When it's all melted, you're ready to start molding!  If you don't have a candy thermometer, you'll probably be just fine. Just take the chocolate off the heat when it's thoroughly melted and all stirred up. Give it a second to cool before you place it into your molds. If you're using white chocolate and would like to color it, add a few drops of...

Article in English: As each anxious thought appears, record it on a piece of paper. Say to yourself, "I don't have time to think about this right now. I'll write it down and I can think about it later." There will be a time and a place to worry about yourself and your loved ones later. You don’t need to worry about forgetting because each thought is recorded on your list. Choose a set time and place for worrying about the bad things that could happen. Give yourself permission to worry freely during this time each day. This is your worry period. What you think about is entirely up to you. You don’t need to edit or limit yourself. Whether your thoughts are productive or unproductive doesn’t really matter.  If an anxious thought about yourself or your family comes up during the day, try to set it aside. Tell yourself that you will be able to think it through later, during your worry time. This will get easier with practice. It should be roughly the same time each day (e.g. from 4:30 to 5:00 p.m.). It should also be early enough that it won’t make you anxious right before bedtime. It is important that when your worry period is up, you actually stop worrying. Get up and go do something else to help take your mind off the fears you were just mulling over. When you find yourself beginning to worry about what could happen, look at your to-do list. If you don’t have a list, begin one. List your goals and the steps to meet them.  Begin with simple tasks, like cooking dinner or doing the laundry. Try to focus on one task at a time.

Article in English: As ear mites can mimic the symptom of other veterinary issues, it's important to recognize the risk factors. This way, you'll know if your cat is at increased risk for ear mites.  Ear mites are crablike parasites that can live inside the ears of cats. They are very common, and usually the most likely culprit when a cat's ear is inflamed or irritated.  Ear mites are highly contagious. Most cats get ear mites from another cat. If you have an outdoor cat or recently introduced a new cat to your home, ear mites are far more likely. Your cat could also come across ear mites while being boarded, but this is rare. Most animal boarding businesses check for ear mites before taking in cats.  Ear mites can happen to cats at any age but are more likely in kittens and younger cats. Their immunity is generally weaker so ear mites will choose them out over older, healthier cats. Know what symptoms could be indicative of an ear mite issue.  Your cat might appear irritated with his ears, scratching and pawing at them. Your cat might also shake his head frequently, causing hair loss.  An increase in ear wax or any thick and black crusty discharge from the ear is a sign of ear mites.  Skin lesions or sores may develop around the ear from excess scratching. Ear mites mimic a variety of other ear conditions in cat's. Know the other possibilities and discuss them with your vet when you take your cat into a clinic for a visit.  Yeast infections can sometimes produce black discharge in a cat's ear.  Hypothyroidism can cause inflammation and discharge around the ear.  Allergies, particularly food allergies, can cause symptoms similar to ear mites.

Article in English: As everyone knows, choosing the right outfit for a party is a very important task. The first thing you need to consider is the time and location of the party, as this will affect everything - from your outfit and your shoes to your jewelry and makeup.  If the party is during the day, at a bowling alley or theme park, you probably want to go with something comfortable yet cool, like jeans and a statement tee. Many people would not describe this as dressing up at all, but dressing up is a relative term. If the party is at night, in a fancy restaurant or club, you will probably need to go a little dressier and wear something like a cute dress, a playsuit or a skirt and top combo. When you're attending a cool party, you want to stand out -- but in a good way.  So if you want to be unique, you should come up with a cool alternative to the norm that suits your personality but still fits with the vibe of the party. For example, if you're not the type of girl who would normally wear high heels, but you still want to look glam, you could try wearing a pair of bejewelled sneakers instead! Can you afford to buy a new outfit, or do you need to work with what's already in your wardrobe? If it's the latter, consider combining your existing clothes in new and unusual ways, try layering a couple of tops on top of each other, clashing non-matching patterns or combining unusual fabric -- like a black biker jacket with a pretty silk dress. When it comes to jewelry, decide whether you want to go understated and classic, or bold and over-the-top.  For elegant evening parties, things like delicate diamond (or crystal) earrings and pearl necklaces are perfect. For night parties, you can go with bold statement pieces, clash chunky gold and silver chains, or wear large hoop or dangling earrings. Traditionally, women matched their shoes to their purse, but this is no longer the case -- nowadays, pretty much anything goes!  You can either pick out a color from your outfit (it doesn't have to be the main color) and match your shoes and...

Article in English: As frequently noted above, EOIs should be lean, succinct documents. To get your EOI as streamlined as possible, you'll need to be a merciless editor. When you've finished your first draft, take the opportunity to read it over at least one more time, looking for any unneeded content. Whenever you see a sentence that goes on longer than needed to get its point across, shorten it. Whenever you see a complicated word that could easily be replaced with a shorter one, do so. Your EOI is a functional document, not a chance to exhibit your writing ability, so keep it simple. If you have time, take a quick break between when you complete your EOI and when you start proofreading. Most writer's resources will recommend this because it gives you a healthy degree of "distance" from what you've just written, making it much easier to see mistakes. EOIs should always be written with the sort of  formal, dignified voice that normal business writing demands. Avoid using slang, colloquialisms, or humor. Keep in mind that the people reading your EOI have never met you before, so they won't have any reason to assume that you're including these things with good intentions rather than out of disrespect. A good general rule recommended by many writer's resources is to write as if you're giving an important speech, rather than talking to a friend of family member. As an obvious example, if you're talking our work history, the sentence "From 2002 to 2006, I worked as a freelance consultant for several personal contacts" sounds much more dignified than "From 2002 to 2006, I did a little freelance work for a couple of guys I know", even though it has almost the same meaning. When you've finished the content of your letter, take a moment to ensure that it's formatted in a way that shows respect for formal business writing conventions and makes it as easy as possible to read. Typically, this will be very similar to that for a cover letter or similar document. Below are just a few formatting issues that are common sources of confusion: ...

Article in English: As gifted children have higher than average memories, a strong vocabulary is a sign your child is gifted. At a young age, as early as 3 or 4, your child may use words like "understandably" and "actually" in every day speech. A gifted child may also be able to learn new words quickly. They may learn a new word for a test in school, and quickly begin using it appropriately in conversation. Many children ask questions, but a gifted child's line of questioning will stand out. Gifted children ask questions to better understand the world and the people around them, as they have a genuine desire to learn.  Gifted children will constantly ask questions about their environment. They ask about what they hear, see, touch, smell, and taste. You may be driving in a car, and a song will come on the radio. A gifted child may ask a lot about the song, about what it means, who sang it, when it came out, and so on. Gifted children also ask questions to gain insight and understanding. A gifted child may ask about other people's emotions, questioning why someone is sad, angry, or happy. Gifted children are marked by an early ability to converse. While many children tend to go on about themselves when talking to adults, a gifted child will participate in the conversation. They will ask questions, discuss the topic at hand, and easily pick up on nuances and double-meanings. Gifted children will also switch tone between conversations. You may notice your child uses a slightly different vocabulary and speaking style when talking to someone their own age than when talking to an adult. Gifted children do have a tendency to speak quickly. They tend to talk about subjects of interest at a faster pace, and may suddenly switch topics. This is often seen an inattentiveness. However, it's actually a sign your child has many different interests and curiosities. At an early age, a gifted child will be able to follow multi-step directions without trouble. They may not have to ask for a reminder or for clarification. For example, a gifted child...

Article in English: As headaches are sometimes triggered by altitude changes, booking a non-stop flight may help you avoid headaches. A non-stop flight will keep you at a consistent altitude for a longer period compared to multiple back-to-back flights.  Altitude changes can prompt changes in your oxygen levels, causing your head's blood vessels to compensate by contracting and expanding. This change in your blood vessels can trigger a migraine.  Booking a non-stop flight can be difficult and costly. However, see if you live within driving distance of a location that provides non-stop flights to your end location. It might be worth it to take a road trip to an airport and take a non-stop flight from there if your migraines or headaches are particularly severe. You will be doing a lot of sitting while on the plane and a lot of walking while in the airport. Do not wear constricting clothing or shoes without enough support. Drinking plenty of water in flight can help avoid causes of after-flight headaches like jet lag and dehydration. Purchase a bottle of water in the airport before you get on the plane, or bring an empty bottle with you and fill it at a water fountain after you go through security.  Aircrafts only have a humidity level of 15%, which is on par with some of the driest climates on earth. Make sure you bring a water bottle on the plane and stay hydrated prior to boarding. Remember, drinks are not usually offered on a plane until well after take-off. Bringing your own water on board will make it easier for you to stay hydrated while you wait for in-flight service. If you forgot your water bottle and are feeling thirsty as the plane takes off, it's fine to ask the flight attendant for a water bottle before the plane takes off. Going for long periods of time without eating can cause the onset of a headache. Food on planes can be expensive, so bring something to eat with you. Purchase high-fiber and high-protein snacks, like nuts, dried fruits, and granola bars. Put them in your carry-on bag. Avoid salty or overly sugary...

Article in English: As her husband, you will likely have some idea of what way will be best to convey this information to your wife. You may be able to simply sit down and talk, you might have to find a way to express this more gently. In any case, you may have better results if you:  Share how you feel. Women use conversation to discover their feelings and tell these feelings to others. By doing the same, she might be more receptive to what you are saying.  You might say to your wife, "I love you so much, seeing you struggle with your weight has me worried. Is it OK if we talk about it?" Some wives don't need, or want, to be hit over the head with a message about their weight. If this is your wife, you might want to try indicating your concerns passively. You might do this by:  Changing your grocery habits to healthier options. Exchanging food-centered activities for more physically engaged alternatives. Telling your wife that you want to get fit for yourself, and you'd like her help. Even if you have your wife's best interests in mind, using judgmental language could potentially lead your wife to internalize those comments, feeling like she's not good enough on the inside. Some phrases you should avoid include:  "You've put on weight." "Did you stick to your diet today?" "You shouldn't eat that." "Aren't you full?" It might not be diet or exercise that is causing your wife to be overweight, she could be suffering from depression or stress. Depression is a common problem women  cope with, and many don't receive the help they need. This can result in negative patterns, like overeating and oversleeping/lethargy.

Article in English: As high glucose goes into nerves, water follows glucose by osmosis and also goes into nerves. The nerves swell up and they lose their blood supply because they are swollen, so they die a little. If the nerve supplies a muscle and dies then the muscle no longer gets stimulation from that nerve. When the muscle is no longer getting nerve stimulation it atrophies (shrivels up). As a consequence, your feet might look a little smaller (shriveled) and the weakness might affect your gait (how you walk) and make you a little unstable or wobbly. Seeing long-term diabetics walking with canes or in wheelchairs is not unusual.  In conjunction to foot and ankle weakness, the nerves that give feedback to your brain for coordination and balance are also damaged, so walking quickly becomes a real difficult task among diabetics. The damage to nerves and weakness of ankle muscles/tendons also leads to reduced reflexes. As such, tapping the Achilles tendon in diabetics triggers only a weak response (twitch of the foot) at best. If the muscles of your feet are weak and your gait is altered, it will likely cause you to walk abnormally and put additional pressure on your toes. Additional pressure and unusual shifts in weight can lead to foot deformities, such as hammertoes. A hammertoe occurs when one of the three toes in the middle of your foot becomes misshapen at the distal joint, making it bent looking or hammer-like. In addition to deformities like hammertoe, this uneven gait and balance can cause certain areas of the foot to be under more pressure than normal. This can result in pressure ulcers, which can then be infected, which can lead to a host of problems.  Hammertoes can sometimes resolve themselves with time, but usually surgery is needed to correct them. A common deformity of the big toe often seen in diabetics is a bunion, which is caused when the big toe is constantly pushed towards the other toes. It's particularly important for diabetics to wear shoes with lots of space for their toes in order to reduce the risk...

Article in English: As humans, we are wired to overestimate threats and underestimate resources and opportunities. Though this can be helpful in times of actual danger, it can set us back when dealing with those who have domineering personalities.  Rather than paying so much attention to what scares you, focus in more on what excites you or brings you joy. Use these experiences to boost your mood, build your confidence, and unravel your fears.  For instance, rather than focusing on the one insult you received today, think on the five compliments you received yesterday. You should also consider whether the intimidation is part of their personality or culture and not specifically directed toward you. You might find that you and this intimidating person have more in common than you realize.  The more they are like you, the less about them you will have to fear. Take a second to think of all the ways that you are alike and use those as conversation starters with them in the future. For instance, perhaps you both like baseball, live in the same neighborhood, or like a certain television show. Before approaching them, you should also practice deep breathing.  Deep breaths will help to calm you down so that you appear more confident.  Slowly take a deep breath in through the nose, and then out through the mouth.   Repeat until you feel totally calm. Before you speak to them, imagine them in a funny costume or in some other funny situation.  This will help you to feel more at ease with them and will also lighten your mood. Work to build your social skills and interact with other potentially intimidating people by chatting with folks you don’t know.

Article in English: As in International chess, your goal is to capture the other player’s general (king). You will need to use your other pieces to put your opponent’s general into checkmate. In the process, you will try to capture as many of your opponent’s pieces as possible to make it easier to put your opponent into checkmate. Each piece in Chinese chess has a specific type of movement that it can make. It is essential to understand these rules for movement in order to play the game. The pieces’ movement rules are as follows:  The general can move 1 space back or forward, right or left but cannot make a move diagonally. This piece is also not allowed to leave the Imperial Palace area. The general piece may capture any enemy piece which strays into the Imperial Palace area unless that piece is protected by another piece. Generals on the opposite sides of the board cannot be across from each other without another piece between them. A chariot or rook piece can move any number of spaces in a straight line horizontally or vertically through the rows of the board. The horse piece is equivalent to the knight in international chess rules, in that it can move 1 point any direction and 1 point diagonally (aka 2 points in one direction and 1 point perpendicular to it). However, the horse cannot jump another piece (e.g. If there is a piece in front of the horse blocking it's path of 2 points forward). Cannon move rules are the same as the chariot/rook with one difference. In order to capture, the cannon has to jump over only 1 piece but it can be of either color. Guards can move only 1 point diagonally in either direction but, they cannot leave the Imperial Palace. The elephant can move 2 points diagonally, as a bishop can in international chess.

Article in English: As in most field games, the goal of cricket is to score points, called runs, against the opposing team by running from one point to another before the play can be ended or you're run out by the defenders, who are called the “fielding team.” The team at bat is called the “batting team.” Each team in cricket is comprised of 11 players (though an alternate twelfth player may be held in reserve in case of injury, but is not otherwise used for anything). At any given time, the fielding team has all 11 players on the field, whereas the batting team has 2, called the batsmen. The batsmen try to hit the ball after it is bowled by the bowler for the fielding team, and then switch positions without getting an out to score runs. All of the positions on the pitch have official names. The person who bowls the ball is the bowler, and the batsman who is facing the bowler is called the striker. The other batsman, who stands near the bowler at the far side of the pitch from the striker, is called the non-striker. Finally, the fielding team member who stands behind the wickets at the striker's end of the field is called the wicket-keeper. Other positions in the field have colloquial names, but none are official. Cricket, much like baseball, uses specialized terms to describe each section of the game. Depending on the length of the game to be played, the number of innings varies between 1 and 2 per team. Each innings (the word “innings” is used both singular and plural) can contain any number of “overs,” which are sets of bowls.  Every time the bowler bowls the ball, whether or not it is hit by the striker, a tally is counted. Once a bowler has bowled the ball 6 times in one direction, an “over” is declared. At the over, the bowler must be replaced with a new bowler. Bowlers can't bowl consecutive overs, but they can rotate back in after at least 1 bowl from another bowler, so theoretically 2 bowlers could trade off bowling for the entire innings. When there's an over, the position of the bowler changes from one end of the...

Article in English: As in trap shooting, skeet shooting involves aiming at small clay targets that are launched through the air to simulate bird hunting. They're typically orange and typically about 4–5 inches (10.2–12.7 cm) in diameter. They're fired individually and simultaneously from two different points at each side of an arc of stations, where you'll rotate, firing between 2 and 4 shots at each target. A round of skeet involves 25 shots. Generally speaking, a skeet gun is an over-under double-barrel shotgun. Though any type of shotgun would be appropriate for the task of shooting skeet, this type of gun is often referred to as a "skeet gun" among experienced shooters for its accuracy and range.  Consider adding relatively open chokes to improve your accuracy and ensure that you'll hit the target regularly. This is a common addition among experienced skeet shooters. When shooting skeet, you'll move between 7 different stations in an arc (21 yards from the target launch) and one point from slightly closer up. You're essentially aiming in the same general direction each time (down range) but you'll change your angle on the targets when you move from point to point. There are two traps which release clay targets from either side of the range, one low target and one higher target, both of which will cross your field of vision and your firing line. The object is to hit both of the targets. The order of the targets being released changes from station to station. Generally, you'll only shoot one target from each trap, though this changes at different points along the way. Learning the pattern is part of the strategy of the event.   At stations 1 and 2 a single target is released from the higher trap, then a single target is released from the lower trap (sometimes called "high house" and "low house").  Then, there'll be another target released from the low trap, and then targets released simultaneously. On the simultaneous release, the object is to shoot the higher target first. A total of four shorts will be taken at each station....

Article in English: As is the case with a fevered adult, a fever usually indicates that your child’s body is raising its own temperature to fight off a sickness or infection. However, because children’s bodies are smaller and often have weaker immune systems, there are certain precautions to take when you are dealing with a feverish child.   Continue to take your child’s temperature (at least every couple of hours), either rectally, orally, or in their ear or armpit.  If your child is under 36 months old, the rectal temperature is the means of measurement recommended by doctors. Although in children and adults, a low-grade fever is nothing to worry about, it can be harmful to infants.   If you have a baby 3–6 months of age with a temperature of 100.4 °F or higher, take him or her see a doctor, even if the child has no other observable symptoms.  Once your child is older than 6 months, you don’t need to be concerned unless her fever reaches 103 °F. Just like for fevers in adults, you need to make sure your child consumes plenty of fluids—primarily water—to replenish the fluids that they lose through sweat. Although children may prefer to drink soda or juice, these fluids are not as helpful in staying hydrated. However, if your feverish child will only drink soda or juice, it’s better than nothing. The washcloth (or sponge) should be lukewarm, not ice-cold. Ice cold water will cause your child to shiver, which will combat your intent by raising their temperature.  Do not give your child an ice bath or insist that they take a cold shower. Ibuprofen is safe for children of any age, and should reduce the aches and chills that are often associated with fevers.  Acetaminophen may also be useful for symptoms of a fever. Remember to dose a child's dose of ibuprofen or acetaminophen by their weight. Avoid giving aspirin for a fever. Aspirin can have harmful side effects for anyone under the age of 18.

Article in English: As is true of any ratio, an algebraic ratio compares two quantities, although in this case variables (letters) have been introduced into one or both terms. You will need to simplify numerical terms (as shown above) as well as any variables when finding a ratio's simplified form.  Example: 18x2:72x{\displaystyle 18x^{2}:72x} Remember that factors can be whole numbers which divide evenly into a given quantity. Look at the numerical values in both terms of the ratio. Write out all factors for both numerical terms in separate lists.  Example: To solve this problem, you will need to find the factors of 18 and 72.  The factors of 18 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18 The factors of 72 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72 Go through both factor lists and circle, underline, or otherwise identify all of the factors shared by both lists. From this new selection of numbers, identify the highest number. This value is the greatest factor common to both of the numerical terms. Note, however, that this value represents only part of the  greatest common factor within the ratio. (We still have the variables to deal with.)  Example: Both 18 and 72 share several factors: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18. Of these factors, 18 is the greatest. You should be able to evenly divide both numerical terms by the GCF. Do so now, and write down the whole numbers that you get as a result. These numbers will be part of the final simplified ratio.  Example: Both 18 and 72 are now divided by the factor 18.  1818=1{\displaystyle {\frac {18}{18}}=1} 7218=4{\displaystyle {\frac {72}{18}}=4} Look at the variable in both terms of the ratio. If the same variable appears in both terms, it can be factored out.   If there are exponents (powers) applied to the variable in both terms, deal with them now. If the exponents are the same in both terms, they cancel each other completely. If the exponents are not the same, subtract the smaller exponent from the larger. This completely cancels the variable with the smaller exponent and leaves the other variable with a...

Article in English: As long as the occasion is a fairly lighthearted one, a joke or a bit of humor can be a great way to start an entertainment or occasion speech. Just make sure that your use of humor does not offend anyone in the audience.  At an event held in honor of a particular person, you might tell a humorous story involving you and the person being honored. Just make sure that the story or joke is not embarrassing or potentially offensive. Try out your joke on a few different people before delivering it in your speech. If the joke falls flat or is offensive, cut it from your speech. A startling statement shocks or startles an audience into paying attention. Since these statements often evoke a strong emotional reaction, making one at the start of your speech can engage the audience quickly. Try something simple that cuts to the chase, like “Seat belts save lives.” A daring declarative statement can shock or stun the audience into paying attention to a seemingly important topic. You might also say, in no uncertain terms, that the audience needs to learn the information you intend to deliver to them.  If your speech is about mood disorders, you might make a statement along the lines of, “Depression, manic depression, and mood disorders of a similar strain can have deadly side effects.” If you are giving a speech on self-defense, you could say something like, “If you're out alone and suddenly assaulted, your reaction in the first few seconds can be the difference between survival and death.” Describe something before revealing what that something is. By describing the characteristics of something, you invite the audience to try to unravel the mystery before you reveal the answer, forcing them to become active listeners. For a speech about dogs, you could describe the standard characteristics or daily life of a dog using a first person point of view, and end with the statement, “I am a dog.” A startling statistic can alert your audience to the importance of your chosen topic. As a result, the audience is more likely to pay...

Article in English: As long as there's a moisture source, there's the potential for mold. After cleaning your mold problem, it’s essential that you remove the source of the moisture that caused the mold to grow in the first place. Depending on where in the house the mold was, possible moisture problems could include:  Leaks Floods Spills Dampness from cooking or bathing Lack of moisture barrier in the basement Mold thrives in humid environments where the moisture levels are above 50 percent. To prevent mold, install a hygrometer and keep and eye on the humidity levels. When it gets too high, ways to reduce humidity include:  Running a dehumidifier Running the air conditioner Opening windows Increasing ventilation Opening windows and using vents when cooking Showers and tubs are common places for mold to grow because they stay wet all the time. To prevent this, keep a squeegee in the bathroom and ask that all family members and guests wipe down the walls after bathing.  You should also open a window or turn on the bathroom fan anytime somebody uses the bathroom to bathe or shower. Leaks are a huge source of moisture problems in homes, and the extra moisture creates a prime environment for mold to grow. You can still prevent mold even if a leak occurs, but you do have to act quickly to fix the leak and dry the area. Leaks to look out for include:  Burst pipes Leaking pipes Roof leaks Basement and foundation leaks Floods can often lead to mold because there's a lot of water that comes in at once, and it’s not always possible to clean it all right away. After a flood, the steps you should take as soon as possible to clean include:  Removing all the excess water Using a wet vacuum to get rid of dampness Replacing damaged carpeting, flooring, and drywall Using mold-inhibiting cleaners

Article in English: As long as you approach fireflies slowly, they should maintain a calm and graceful flying path – this will make them fairly easy to catch. Once you are close enough to a firefly, calmly reach out with both hands, and try to cup the firefly between your hands. The outsides of your hands should be tightly cupped together when you catch the firefly, but leave enough space between your palms so that you do not crush it. This may take a few tries. Don't get annoyed or overwhelmed, just keep trying. Stay calm and relaxed. You can purchase nets at most home supply stores, or make your own out of a small netting. To catch fireflies with a net, simply flow the net around a firefly inhabited area until you catch one. Keep your movements slow and gentle so that you do not scare or harm the fireflies. Most people end up putting their caught fireflies into mason jars, so skip a step by catching your fireflies in a mason jar. Move slowly and calmly as you move your mason jar through the air to catch fireflies. Once a firefly has flown into the opening of your jar, place the lid on top to keep the firefly inside.

Article in English: As long as you have the money, try to make sure that all of your settlements have at least one building being produced on the construction panel. If you have conquered a city and it already has a religious structure from a different culture, destroy it and build your own. The only exception to this is when that city's happiness rating is too low to last a turn without that building without revolting. However, if you have the ability to upgrade the city and the citizens are becoming too restless, delay whichever current structure you are building with the new one that will advance your city.

Article in English: As long as you meet your school's financial aid deadline, you'll receive your Pell grant in full. However, it's always a good idea to get these things done sooner rather than later. The FAFSA can be filed (and the Pell grant thusly applied for) as soon as January 1st of each year. The closer you are to that date, the better off you'll be. Other loans, however, are first come, first served. When you get your award letter from your institution, they may have given you other grants -- the likelihood of which is maximized if you act quickly. You'll need your social security card, tax information and pay stubs if available. If you have yet to file taxes for the year, you can give your estimated tax information based on last year, but you'll need to update eventually. If you are a non-citizen, you'll need your records, such as you green card, to complete the FAFSA. This is your "federal student aid pin." This will be your number for the rest of your college career. Even though you'll file the FAFSA each year, you'll use the same pin over and over. If you are a dependent, your parent(s) will need a pin, too. Enter your pin and start filling out the form! This takes about 30 minutes to fill out and is pretty straightforward. You may fill it out on paper, but doing it online is much, much, much quicker. You'll be asked personal questions (like your address (tough one!)), financial questions, and then your parents will have to answer questions, too. Nothing too prying! You can fill out the FAFSA if you haven't been accepted (or done the accepting to) anywhere yet. Up to ten schools may be listed on the form. It should only take a few days to see your student aid report, or SAR. In fact, you can start checking the status online as soon as you submit your FAFSA. Once you get your SAR, you'll know how much aid you'll receive. This is the part where you get notified of your EFC. It doesn't mean you have to pay it though! At least not right now. It's just used to calculate aid. Each school that you were accepted to will...

Article in English: As long as you pay a little attention and are sure to remove items that might be very dangerous for them (like sharp beer bottle openers), keys are a great emergency toy for a baby. You can jingle the keys in front of them and watch as they shake them around. They're also a great candidate for baby's favorite game: dropping things and making you pick them back up. Again, you'll really need to pay attention here. Make sure baby doesn't get those keys too close to anyone's eyes (including their own)! Ripping scrap paper is a great game for a baby and a great way to prove that you don't need a lot of fancy toys to keep a baby entertained. Pull some old newspapers out of the recycling and show baby how to rip them. Then, let her give it a try! Find a box, an old coffee can, or any container which you can cut a slot into with scissors or a box cutter (only cut into the plastic lid of a coffee can). Now find items that can be fit into the slot and are safe for baby. Plastic lids from Tupperware or canned items are good. You can also fold up think paper squares or even use food items, like biscuits. Baby will be thrilled with the "thunk" sound and the fun task of getting the object into the slot. You don't need anything but your voice to entertain a baby if you're willing to sing some songs. Try singing some nursery rhymes, such as “Old Macdonald” and “Patty Cake.” Babies may not understand the words but they'll love watching you move your fingers and your hands to act out any song with a lot of energy.   Learn how to sing The Wheels on the Bus.  Learn how to sing If You're Happy and You Know It.  Learn how to sing The Itsy Bitsy Spider. Peek-a-Boo is such a basic that many people don't realize just how much children love this game. Your baby will scream with laughter as you hide behind your hands or other objects in the room and then pop out with a big smile. Towels or other pieces of fabric are particularly useful for playing Peek-a-Boo. The World Health Organization strongly discourages any use of screen time for...

Article in English: As long as your bra provides you with the correct amount of support and leaves you feeling comfortable, virtually any bra can work under an ordinary, slightly loose t-shirt. Many women find a standard, no-fuss bra the most comfortable but you can opt for whatever style you like best. Seamless bras prevent lines from showing through your top, making them an excellent choice for tight t-shirts and fitted blouses. Stick with a full-coverage bra to create the smoothest fit, since demi-cup bras hit the middle of your breast and may create a dividing line that can show through your top. Plunging bras have a very deep center bridge, well below your breasts. If you wear a standard bra with a deep neckline, the cups or bridge may be exposed. The straps on a halter bra come in closer around your neck, rather than sitting further out along your shoulder. As a result, the straps remain hidden beneath the fabric of your top. Wear racerback bras for racerback tops. Like the halter bra, the racerback bra has straps that mimic the shape of the top that shares its name. Strapless bras smooth out your form and provide basic support. They might run a little tighter than a standard bra, however, since the band must provide full support in the absence of straps. A bra with super thin straps may coordinate well enough with a spaghetti strap top. The straps may not disappear completely beneath your top but as long as your bra straps do not exceed the thickness of your top's straps, you may be able to get away with showing your bra straps in casual settings. Choose a color that matches your top or stick with a neutral color. Convertible bras have adjustable straps, allowing you to change the way the straps fit based on the cut of your shirt. Basic convertible bras can usually be changed into halter bras and strapless bras; more extravagant convertibles have even more options. Silicone adhesive bras have no back and no straps. They stick onto your skin and smooth out your silhouette. These bras offer minimal support, however, so you...

Article in English: As mentioned before, having a dewy, moist look is essential for Korean beauty. Lip glosses and tints, rather than a drier lipstick, are the way to go. Although very natural makeup looks are the norm, many people wear bright red lip gloss/lip tint. This is a style first used on a Korean drama that has since grown hugely popular. Apply a bright pink color lipstick to the inside of your lips. Apply a little foundation to the outside of your lips. Blend the two products across your lips, so that they form a consistent gradient. Once you've gotten practice, try other colors like red, orange, peach, or brighter pinks. This is probably the most ubiquitous Korean beauty trend. Despite its popularity, it's sometimes considered a bit weird-looking to Westerners, so don't be surprised if you get confused glances.

Article in English: As mentioned previously, there are pros and cons to each option that need to be taken into consideration before making a decision. The major con to resigning is that you most likely will not be eligible for unemployment benefits. Some pros to resigning include:  Being able to spin your reason for leaving positively. You do not need to say you were fired or asked to leave. The reason given for termination by your employer will be “resignation”. You may be able to negotiate a severance package. The company wants you to leave and at this point you may have the upper hand in a way, even if you don't feel like that's the case. In exchange for you leaving peacefully, you may be able to negotiate a severance package to include a few months of pay and benefits. The pros to waiting to be fired can outweigh the cons if you need the unemployment benefits and feel you will be eligible given your circumstances. If you are fired for no reason of your own, you have a very good change to receive these benefits. Additionally, if you feel your termination is wrongful and/or discriminatory, you may be able to file a suit against this employer. On the other hand, the cons to waiting to be fired include:  You may not eligible for a severance package. You may receive bad references if another company contacts this employer. Your reason for termination will be stated as “fired” or “terminated” and possible reasons for termination can be disclosed (based on company policy as mentioned previously). For example, “The employee was terminated due to gross misconduct”. Based on your evaluation of the pros and cons to both options, you must make a decision and express this to your employer as soon as possible. If you took some time out to make your decision, you will have to request another meeting to include all members in the original meeting. During the meeting:  Briefly explain whether you have decided to resign or stay. Keep your explanation simple and professional. Do not get overly emotional or angry.

Article in English: As mentioned, there are two types of herpes simplex virus, known as HSV-1 and HSV-2.  Generally speaking, HSV-1 is the cause of oral herpes (roughly 80% of the time), and HSV-2 causes genital herpes (also about 80%).  HSV-1 and HSV-2 are both spread by the transmission of infected fluids through skin-to-skin contact. You can get herpes when blisters are present and when sores are not present.  Genital herpes is considered a sexually transmitted disease (STD) because fluid exchange during vaginal, anal, or oral sex is the primary mode of transmission.  Oral herpes most commonly spreads through kissing, or sharing utensils or drinkware. It is estimated that one-in-six Americans age 14-49 have genital herpes. The most common sign of a genital herpes infection is a cluster of reddish sores in or near the genital area.  These sores or lesions eventually blister, break (sometimes resulting in oozing), and scab over before disappearing.  Oral herpes lesions, which typically form around or in the mouth, are often called “cold sores.”  These are not the same as canker sores, which only form inside the mouth and are not caused by HSV.  After the initial outbreak, which usually occurs within several days of infection, the symptoms will disappear and recur, often with decreasing frequency and intensity.  Flu-like symptoms can also accompany the lesions, especially during the initial outbreak. There is no current cure for herpes, and the virus often remains within an infected body for life.  It can remain dormant for months or years and then recur without warning.  Outbreaks may be triggered by stress, fever, sunlight, or trauma, among other causes.   Some people with herpes never display any symptoms, while many experience only mild, infrequent symptoms. Herpes should not be brushed aside as insignificant, however.  Pregnant women with genital herpes, for example, run a greater risk of miscarriage and can spread neonatal herpes, which can occasionally prove deadly, to their unborn children. Pregnant women who have herpes...
