Article in English: The proper way to touch up a scratch is best determined by the depth and severity of the scratch.  In a well lit area, inspect the scratch.  Determine how many layers of paint the scratch has penetrated.  If it is just through the clear coat, you may be able to buff it out.  If it is down to metal, the process will be different.  Look for signs of bare metal or any rust that may have developed on the scratch. Scratches in the clear coat can be buffed out, whereas scratches through the paint will need new paint applied. Automotive touch up paint comes in a wide variety of colors, so the best way to find the right replacement paint is to look for the paint code in your car’s owner’s manual.  Once you have the paint code, you can purchase touch up paint with the identical code and rest assured that they will match.  Heavily faded vehicles may not match with their original paint code, but this shouldn’t be an issue for small touch ups. You may also be able to find your car’s paint code inside the driver’s door on the same panel as the VIN number. Use automotive soap and clean water to wash the scratch and the area immediately surrounding it.  Make sure there is no debris or dirt stuck to the scratch.  Once done, rinse the area thoroughly.  Use a hose to rinse the entire area and ensure there is no dirt or debris stuck to the car’s paint. Dry the area completely using a towel, or just wait for it to dry. Use 120 grit sandpaper to sand away any rust that has developed on the paint or metal.  Be extremely careful with where you use the sand paper to avoid damaging the surrounding paint unnecessarily.  Remove all rust from the metal before repairing a scratch, otherwise the rust will continue to spread beneath the touch up paint. If the rust has penetrated the metal, that panel will need to be professionally repaired or replaced. It is best not to touch up scratches while working in direct sunlight.  Instead, find a shady area to work on the vehicle, or choose an overcast day.  The shade will allow you to choose how...

Article in English: The prostate is a gland in men that sits low in the abdomen, and when it gets enlarged it squeezes the urethra. This causes slow flow, difficulty starting to urinate, dribbling, and a weak stream. It is very common for men to get enlarged prostates after the age of 60. This condition is called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH, which is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate. If you have urinary trouble, see your doctor to be checked for BPH. BPH is very common, but prostate cancer – though much less common – can also enlarge your prostate and cause urinary symptoms. It’s important to have your prostate checked regularly starting at age 50 (or earlier if a relative had prostate cancer). There are several simple changes that you can make to your bathroom habits to help minimize your symptoms. Some things to try include:  Go twice. Try to empty your bladder twice each time you go to the bathroom. Relax and take your time. Try taking some deep breaths while you wait for your urine to start flowing. Give yourself plenty of time and don’t worry if it takes a while. Try reading a magazine or a book while you wait. Sit down to urinate. If you usually urinate standing up, then sitting down might help to relax you and make it easier for you to urinate. Turn on the faucet. The sound of running water may also help you to go. If this isn’t an option, then try to imagine the sound of running water. Stay hydrated. You might be frustrated with your low urine flow and want to avoid urinating as much as possible, but not drinking enough water can make matters worse. Drink water throughout the day and avoid drinking it late in the evening so you won’t have to get up as much during the night. Avoid dehydrating substances. Anything that may lead to dehydration can make it harder for you to urinate. Avoid alcohol and any medications that can dehydrate you or make urination difficult. Ask your doctor if you are not sure what medications may cause problems for you. Purchase saw palmetto extract as a supplement from your drug...

Article in English: The prostate is a gland located below the bladder and in front of the rectum in males. It starts off as the size of a walnut in young men but then grows gradually as they age. The prostate function is to make some of the fluid that nourishes our sperm cells that make up male semen. The urethra, the duct we urinate through and males ejaculate from, passes through the prostate on the way from the bladder. Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor of the prostate. When cancer emerges, the prostate cells grow too rapidly (malignant cells) and cause a mass to form within the prostate gland. Because of its location, the bladder, urethra and muscles around the area are affected. Prostate cancer has several stages:   Early prostate cancer is also known as localized prostate cancer. The cancer is contained within the prostate, and can even be present for years without causing any problems. At the advanced prostate cancer stage, the cancer has spread beyond the prostate and has entered other parts of the body and tissues. Prostate cancer can spread to lymph nodes in the pelvis and to other parts of the body through the bloodstream, such as the lungs and bones. Some risk factors, such as those related to lifestyle, you can control; however, most of the risk factors you cannot control. While you can't control them, it is good to know that you may be at higher risk. Risk factors for prostate cancer include:  Age. Can happen at young or older ages but the risk is minimal in those younger than 40. Risk drastically increases after age 50. 6 out of 10 cases of cancer occur after age 65. Race/Ethnicity. Though the reasons are still not clear, prostate cancer occurs more often in African-American men than in white men. African American men are more likely to get prostate cancer in their lifetime and twice as more likely to die from it. Geography. Though not clear but cultural diets and environment may be factors, North America, northwestern Europe, Australia, and the Caribbean islands are at higher risk than those in Asia, Africa,...

Article in English: The protein food group is an important part of the food pyramid. Foods made from meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, soy products, nuts, and seeds are considered part of the protein food group.  The amount of protein you need in your diet depends on your age and sex. Adult women need about 5 ounces of protein daily. If you are pregnant, you may need more protein in your diet depending on your weight and stage of pregnancy. Talk to your doctor if you're concerned about protein intake during pregnancy. Men under 50 need about 6oz of protein each day. After 50, men only need about 5oz of protein daily. Many people are unsure about what constitutes an ounce of protein. The answer depends on the type of protein you're consuming.  1oz of meat, poultry, or fish should contain roughly 1oz of protein. With other food types, protein is diluted or combined with other nutrients within the food. This changes how protein is measured.  1/4 cup of cooked beans contains about 1oz protein. One egg is 1oz of protein. A tablespoon of peanut or other nut butter also counts an ounce. Half an ounce of nuts or seeds count as an ounce of protein. If you're unsure of the precise amount of protein in a product, make use of nutritional labels. These should give you a sense of the amount of protein in a given food, as well the percentage of your daily protein requirement it entails. However, keep in mind food label calculations are based on a 2,000 calorie a day diet. Also, try to be honest about how much of a given food you're eating. Many people inadvertently under or overestimate how much of a product they're consuming.

Article in English: The protein level should be around 16 percent protein. Birds that will be used for meat can have up to 20 percent protein in their grower feed. Treats should be very small, since they will replace part of the nutritious grower feed that day. Chickens can eat just about anything such as toast, cereal, biscuits, corn, noodles and even meat! Grit helps the chickens digest vegetable and fruit treats. Purchased feed is already mixed for adequate digestion without grit and free-range chickens don't need grit as they find plenty of things in the ground that helps them digest their food. The calcium content can hurt the kidneys and reduce the chicken’s life span. Cover any leftover food to protect it from pests at night. If you don't cover the food there is a chance that you will attract bugs, mice, rats and other creatures seeking for food.

Article in English: The psychic medium ship is about being open to communication from the "other side." Try the following methods for raising your awareness and opening your third eye:  Pay attention to your intuition. Don't dismiss your dreams. Acknowledge the odd feelings and urges you feel. Recognize the various energies that affect you throughout the day. Spend quiet time by yourself every morning. After you wake in the morning, before starting your day, spend time allowing thoughts and emotions to wash over you. Don't control what comes; welcome and absorb it. Open your mind to the possibility of receiving communications from energies generated outside yourself. Try free writing. Write what comes to your mind the moment it arrives. Don't judge the words, and avoid editing them. Read back over what you wrote a few hours later. The messages you receive from other beings won't always be clear, but writing them down may help you find patterns. A good way to start is by finding a medium ship circle, a group of mediums who gather to receive messages from the other side. This will give you an introduction to the setting that should be arranged for effective communication. Once you're comfortable with the process, try it on your own, or invite other mediums to join you.  Set up a room in a quiet part of your house. Dim or turn off the lights. A few candles may help create a spiritual setting. Say a prayer or chant to ready the space for communication and call on spirits to join the circle. Recognize the presence of the spirit or spirits that join you. Allow yourself to receive images, words, feelings, smells - whatever the spirits wish to communicate. Ask the spirit to identify itself. When you receive an answer, confirm it out loud. Continue communicating with the spirit by asking questions and receiving answers. Know that at this early stage you will not be able to control the effect the communication has on you. You may feel frightened, or you may experience pain. As you develop your skills as a medium, you'll be better able to...

Article in English: The pumpkins should be bright orange in colour (depending on the species) with a hard shell. Their stems and often the vine itself should be starting to dry out and wither. They won't keep for more than a few days before spoiling. Use a pair of shears to cut the stem, leaving it a few inches long. Don't break off the stems, since this will cause the pumpkins to rot. Keep them away from humidity, damp, and direct sunlight. They do not need refrigeration. Pumpkins keep for many months after they have been harvested. A mild chlorine rinse before storage can discourage mold and fungi. Use a mix of 1 cup (240 mL) household chlorine bleach and 5 gallons (18.9 L) cold water.

Article in English: The pumpkins should be uniformly bright orange in color (unless you're growing a white or mottled variety). The vines will begin to shrivel and dry out. Most importantly, the pumpkins' skin will be tough. If you can indent it easily with a fingernail, the pumpkins need more time on the vine. Leave several inches of stem at the top of each pumpkin, since this keeps them from rotting too quickly. Don't pick up the pumpkins by their stems, since if the stems break their bases will rot. As soon as you cut them, they're ready to be removed from the pumpkin patch and used in whatever way you like. Rinse them off (you might need to scrub the dirt off the bottom) and either  cut them to make pie or  carve them into jack-o'-lanterns. If you store pumpkins in a cool, dry place they'll keep throughout the winter months.

Article in English: The purificator is the smallest of the small linens, and the post Communion veil is the largest of the small linens. Both can be either square or rectangular, and both have an embroidered cross in the center.  The purificator is the linen used to dry the holy vessels during Holy Communion. The post Communion veil is used to cover the chalice after Holy Communion has concluded. Lay either linen flat with the cross upright but facing down. Smooth out any wrinkles with your hands. Fold the right side in toward the left. The right-most third of the material should be folded over the center third, leaving only the left-most third visible. Fold the left side in toward the right.  The edge of this left-most third should meet the bend of your first fold. The bend of this fold should meet the edge of the original right side of the linen. Crease both folds with your fingers to lightly crease them before continuing. Fold the bottom third of the linen up so that it covers the center third of the cloth. Fold down the remaining top third of the linen so that it completely covers the material from your previous fold. If done correctly, the purificator and/or post Communion veil should be folded into nine even square sections. Use your fingers to press all the folded edges into firm creases.  Flip the linen over so that the embroidered cross is now on top. Press the creases with an iron before putting the linen into long-term storage. This step completes the process. The purificator or post Communion veil should be ready to store.

Article in English: The purifying qualities of lemon mixed with the scrubbing effects of salt help to remove all the grime buried deep in your pores. Mix lemon juice with a tablespoon of yogurt, a tablespoon of salt, and a bit of honey. Use this to scrub your blackhead-prone areas for 2-3 minutes and then rinse with warm water. Green tea is great to drink, and also great for refreshing your skin. Packed full of nutrients, a green tea scrub works to remove dirt while supplying your face with healthy antioxidants. Mix a fine green tea mix with a bit of water and rub over your face. If you want, you can leave it to set for 2-3 minutes after your scrub, and then simply rinse off with warm water. Baking soda is one of those magical substances in life that is great for myriad purposes. Besides being a natural cleanser, the fine grain of the powder is perfect for clearing away dead skin cells. Cornmeal is used as an abrasive exfoliant when combined with your regular liquid facial soap. Mix a teaspoon of the cornmeal with your favorite face wash and scrub your face gently in a circular pattern. Be careful not to scrub too roughly, as this could inadvertently damage your skin. Rinse the soap and cornmeal off with warm water. Possibly the best smelling exfoliant, the lactic acid of milk combined with the tough granules of nutmeg remove your blackheads quickly and in a pain-free manner. Mix a tablespoon of milk (particularly buttermilk) with enough nutmeg to create a paste. Apply this mixture to your face while gently scrubbing to remove dead skin and dirt. Then use regular warm water to rinse the mixture clear of your skin. If you aren't up for making your own exfoliator at home, look into exfoliating products at your local beauty supply or drugstore. Use these on a regular basis to help clean out your pores and remove your pesky blackheads.

Article in English: The purple-flowered saffron plant grows from the crocus corm (which is similar to a bulb). These corms should be purchased fresh, just prior to planting. You can order them online, or buy them from a local nursery.  Crocus corms will grow best in hardiness zones 6-9. Local nurseries within these zones are more likely to carry crocus corms. Select an area of land that gets a good amount of direct sunlight. Dig into the soil to make sure that it’s not too hard or packed too tightly. Crocus bulbs can die if they become waterlogged, so you need soil that drains effectively. You can til the soil prior to planting in order to loosen it. Till the location where you will plant your corms, and work organic matter 10 inches (25 cm) deep into the soil. You can use compost, peat, or shredded leaves. This provides nutrients for the crocus bulbs to survive through the winter. If rodents or other pests are a common problem in your garden, planting in containers might be a good option for you. You will need plastic milk crates, weed cloth, duct tape, and topsoil.  Be sure to choose a container with drainage holes or add them if it doesn’t have any. Line plastic milk crates with weed cloth and secure with duct tape. Fill your milk crates with about 5 inches (13 cm) of topsoil. For best results, you should plant your corms 6-8 weeks prior to the first deep frost of the season. Depending on your climate (and hemisphere), this may be around October or November. Check a farmer’s almanac or ask local gardeners if you need help determining when to expect a deep frost in your region.

Article in English: The purpose of a personal profile is to grab the reader’s attention as soon as they start reading your resume. Along with your cover letter, its your chance to hold their attention, express your key skills and achievements, and entice the employer or judging committee to want to know more about you.  Your personal profile is a short introduction to the skills and experience listed on your resume or CV. It should not restate or repeat all the details in your resume or cover letter. It should be between 50-200 words, or no longer than four-six lines.  It should be placed at the beginning of your CV. If you aren’t sure what your career aims and goals are, it’s better to avoid including a personal profile at the start of your CV. No personal profile is better than a vague or dull profile. If you are struggling to condense your career experiences and goals into a few sentences, focus first on your resume and your cover letter. Then, based on the information in your resume and your cover letter, tackle the personal profile. You’ll have a much better idea of what your key skills, experiences, and goals are and your value as an applicant. Though the third person is always an option in a personal profile, using the first person will create a stronger and more direct profile. Your personal profile should be about you and your specific skill set, so using “I” instead of “he” or “she” will create a clear, assertive profile. But this doesn’t mean you have to begin every sentence with “I”. A good personal profile will combine your skills and goals, but not rely on the overuse of “I”.  For example: “As a highly-motivated copy editor at renowned publishing house ABC Press, I have a proven track record of providing expert editing services in a wide range of subjects and writing styles, including technical documents and educational texts.” The use of “As a…” as the first clause in the sentence avoids to overuse of “I” in the personal profile. It also allows you to highlight what your current professional role is and the skills...

Article in English: The purpose of feedback is to help students learn, so give useful comments that direct them toward improving their work rather than chastising mistakes. Treat it as instruction and not just a critique. You may provide written feedback on different types of student assignments, including written assignments, presentations, and projects. They are both important, and students need to know how to improve in both areas. This is especially important if a student is stronger in one area than another. For example, a student may have excellent ideas with good development, while also having poor spelling, incorrect punctuation, and excessive fragments and run-ons.  If you are giving the feedback on an oral presentation or project, be sure to provide feedback on each part of the assignment. For example, an oral presentation would include feedback on both content and public speaking skills, while a project may receive feedback on content, creativity, and execution. Writing comments like “good job,” “very improved,” or “this needs work” doesn't tell the student what they need to do to improve or what they’re doing right. In order for the feedback to be effective, the student needs to know what you saw that either worked or didn’t.  Write something like, “Your thesis is clear, well-written, and uses the format we practiced. On the other hand, your topic sentences could use some work because they don’t connect back to your thesis.” Suggest, “Your ideas are well-developed, but I’d recommend you come to tutoring so that we can work on your comma splices and sentence fragments.” Include a mix of positive comments and constructive criticism. You may mark some errors, but avoid copyediting the paper. State the issue that you’ve seen in the paper, such as overuse of commas, and then suggest the skill the student can work on. For example, “You have overused commas throughout your essay. I suggest reviewing the rules about commas and how to avoid comma splices. If you come in for tutoring, we can work through a paragraph together....

Article in English: The purpose of pre-natal care is to identify risk factors and potential complications that the mother may experience during pregnancy. For this reason, it's essential that you make regular pre-natal appointments and attend all of them.  Your initial visit will include a comprehensive assessment of your health history, medical history, nutritional history, and more. Successive visits will also include a physical exam, laboratory tests, and an ultrasound exam. During your prenatal check-up, you should ask questions regarding any concerns you might have about possible complications, immunizations, and other ways to maintain a healthy pregnancy. During your prenatal checks, your health care provider may order a series of tests to find out your health status.  Pelvic examinations and cervical or vaginal smears may also be ordered to determine the presence of any issues or infections. Do not hesitate to ask your health care provider for more details about any tests. Your health care provider is responsible for explaining the procedure and the purpose of the test, and to let you know about the results of the test. Many of the causes of bleeding and other maternal complications are because of an unhealthy lifestyle. Therefore, the obvious solution is to modify your lifestyle according to your pregnancy needs. For some, lifestyle changes are not quite easy, but just think about how both you and your baby will benefit. Pregnancy is not an excuse for physical inactivity (unless contraindicated by your health care provider due to health reasons). A pregnant woman may still exercise during pregnancy but with lower intensity and duration.  Exercise improves blood circulation, contributes to stress reduction, enhances self-esteem, and improves the over-all health of a pregnant woman. The exercises you may consider include swimming, walking, or stretching. These exercises are known to be non-weight bearing activities. They are less strenuous and very convenient for pregnant women to engage in. Exercise at least three times...

Article in English: The purpose of the game is to ask someone (solo, or a member of a group) 21 questions, all of which must be answered honestly. Although it can be played with friends you’ve had for a while, it is usually best to choose someone you don’t know as well, or someone you want to get to know on a deeper level. If you do not have a new acquaintance or romantic interest, tailor your questions to suit getting to know someone more deeply. Once you’ve chosen a person to ask questions of, identify what it is you want to know about them. If you’ve chosen a friend, do you want to know more about their background, or are you more interested in their future plans? If you’ve chosen a romantic partner, do you want to know about their dating history, or do you want to know how they feel about your relationship? If you are playing in a group, you can decide as a group what types of questions to ask. This can be tailored to each target, or there can be an overall theme for the game. There are two ways to play: the first involves people asking whatever questions come to mind, and asking them at random. The second has the pair (or group) come up with a set list of questions which are then posed to each person. Writing a list beforehand is the easier choice, as everyone knows what they will be asked, and will likely agree to answer. Asking at random may be the more entertaining choice, but is also at higher risk of getting too personal or inappropriate. If you decide to play this game with strangers or acquaintances you meet in a specific setting, you may want to take that setting into consideration when forming some or all of your questions.  If meeting with members of a book club or writer's group, you might ask questions like, “What is your favorite book?” or “If you could be any fictional character from any book, who would you be?” If meeting with a church group, consider questions such as, “What is your favorite Bible verse/story?” or “When did you first develop an interest in religion?” If meeting someone new at the grand...

Article in English: The purpose of this type of essay is to fully investigate an issue or topic. This involves extensive research covering all aspects of the topic and gathering information on all involved points of view. Argumentative essays also provide your audience with a well-rounded summary of the issue at hand, but clearly indicate what your own point of view is and why this view is the best option over others. To prepare yourself to write an argumentative essay, it is crucial for you to fully immerse yourself in the subject material. The effectiveness of this type of essay depends on the author's ability to parse through the various facets of the topic and lead the reader toward an obvious and logical conclusion. To this end, you must familiarize yourself with all opinions about the topic so that you can also outline the viewpoints that oppose your own view (counterarguments). In the end, the main reason someone chooses to write an argumentative essay (other than the fact that their professor told them to!) is to attempt to sway another person or group of people in their opinion on a subject.  Make sure you have your desired outcome in mind as you move forward in the writing process.

Article in English: The push-up is an exercise that can work a variety of arm, chest and back muscles all at the same time.  Even if you only want to strengthen your arms, your chest and back muscles will support you while doing arm exercises.  Lay face down on an exercise mat.  Lift your body up with arms extended straight and wrists tracking under your shoulders. Keep your body in a flat line without arching or curving your back.  Slowly lower your body down towards the floor.  Your elbows should be in close to your body. Lower down until your chest almost touches the floor.  Push back up to the starting position.  Repeat as necessary. If standard push-ups are too easy, try a variation.  You can do diamond push-ups which require you to put your hands under your face in the center of your body.  Make a diamond shape with your thumbs and point fingers touching.  In addition, you can move your hands far outside of your shoulders for a different position. The handstand is another strength and balancing exercise that incorporates all the muscles in your arms and shoulders.  Start with the wall handstand if you cannot maintain a handstand without support.  Face the wall and put your hands flat on the ground a few inches from the wall.  Kick your legs up and over your head until they rest on the wall behind you. Press through your palms and arms to support your body up against the wall.  Do not let your shoulders sag down.  Hold this position for 30 seconds to 1 minute. You can also try this exercise without the support of the wall if you're able.  It will require more arm and core strength to do. This particular dip exercise on the parallel bars will be a great help for gymnasts.  This helps improve the strength of the elbow extensors and upper arm and shoulder.  Stand in between two parallel bars.  Place hands on the bar next to your body and push yourself up into the air so your feet are dangling off the ground. Slowly lower yourself down by bending your elbows straight behind you.  Keep your arms flush with the side of your body....

Article in English: The quality of the mother plant will determine the quality of the propagated plant. Recent growth indicates that the plant has not grown dormant, so you should be able to spur new growth from a cutting. Choose the most recently grown stems, since these have the greatest growing potential. Use scissors or shears to cut them off. Yanking the leaves off by hand could cause damage. The cuttings do not need to soak. They just need to be a little moist. Dip the bottom of each cutting into the powder, immersing it by about 1/4 inch (2/3 centimeter). Doing so will increase the cutting's odds of taking root. Other small containers, ranging from pots to plastic cups, can also be used. If using a seedling tray, place one cutting in each separate compartment. Press the cutting down into the growing medium until the exposed stem is completely buried. Do not cover the leaves, however. Do not allow the growing medium to become completely soaked. Continue misting as often as necessary to keep the medium moist to the touch, paying special attention to your plant on dry, sunny days. This usually occurs within two to four weeks. If your plant continues to grow after a few weeks have passed, it has likely taken root. Select a pot that is at least 3 1/2 inches (9 centimeters) in diameter and depth.  Terra cotta draws moisture out of the soil faster than plastic. As a result, using a terra cotta pot will reduce the risk of over-watering and cut down on occurrences of root rot. An all-purpose soil should work fine most of the time, but do not use standard garden soil. Dirt from your garden could contain pests and diseases that might damage your rosemary. For a more precise soil mix, blend two parts potting soil with one part sand or perlite to promote better drainage. You can also add 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) of lime juice to a 5-inch (12.7 centimeters) pot to increase the soil's alkaline properties. Pinching the top terminal bud increases the likelihood of your rosemary branching. Once the bud develops, literally pinch it out...

Article in English: The quality of your ingredients can affect the quality of your cheese sauce. Start with a sharp cheddar cheese, shredded or in a block. If the cheese comes in a block, use a grater to make 2 cups of shredded cheese.  You can substitute cheddar cheese with other cheeses such as Gouda, or Swiss cheese. To spice up the basic sauce, add salsa, hot sauce, beer, or wine for a little extra flavor. In a saucepan over medium heat, slowly heat the butter for your cheese sauce. Keep an eye on the butter as it melts. You don’t want the butter to brown or turn a dark, burnt color, as this will change the flavor of your sauce. Slowly add the flour to the butter, blending evenly with a whisk. Then, add flour and mix until flour is completely blended with butter. Allow the mixture to cook for several minutes, until it just begins to change color slightly.  Be careful not to burn the mixture, as it will make your cheese sauce taste burnt. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture gets thick. Try to avoid lumps in the mixture. Pouring the milk slowly and stirring constantly will help you avoid lumps. Add 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, or other spices such as dried rosemary or thyme. Get creative and amp up the flavor of your cheese sauce. Start with 1 teaspoon of your chosen spice. You can adjust the sauce to taste once you add in the cheese. Use caution when adding salt. Too much salt is difficult to remove, and many cheeses have a high salt content already. The sauce may also have salt in it already if you used salted butter. Removing the sauce from the heat before you add the shredded cheese will prevent the sauce from separating or curdling. Add the shredded cheese one handful at a time. Stir the sauce with a spoon and allow the cheese to melt each time before adding more cheese. The cheese sauce may harden as it cools, so serve it right away, drizzled over chips, on a baked potato, or over steamed vegetables. It should keep for up to three days. Don’t reheat leftover sauce over high heat, or...

Article in English: The quality of your meat is really going to make or break the soup, so make sure you start with high quality turtle meat from a source you trust. You may be able to find it fresh in a local market, but if you're in an area where turtles aren't commonly eaten, you can buy turtle meat frozen and have it shipped to you. Be sure to do some research to make sure you get it from a reputable company. Turtle meat that isn't sourced properly can have toxic metals and other materials that aren't good for your health. If your meat is frozen, thaw it slowly in the refrigerator. Bring the meat to room temperature by placing it on the counter 1/2 hour before you're ready to cook it. This will ensure the meat cooks evenly and gets properly heated all the way through. Turtle soup is made with a variety of different vegetables that flavor the base of the soup. Prep your vegetables while the meat is thawing and coming to room temperature.  Peel and chop the onion. You'll need about 1 1/2 cups total. Peel and chop the shallots. You should end up with about 1/3 cup. Chop the bell pepper and measure out 1/2 cup. Chop the celery and measure out 1/2 cup. Peel and chop the garlic and measure out 2 tablespoons. Chop the parsley and green onions - you'll need these later to serve as a garnish. Hard-boiled eggs are a traditional garnish for turtle soup. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pan with a lid and remove it from heat. Let the eggs cook in the hot water for 10 minutes, then run them under cold water and peel them. Chop the eggs and set them aside. Slice a fresh lemon into quarters and squeeze out the juice. Measure out 1/4 cup of juice, and set it aside to add to the soup.

Article in English: The queen bee will almost always be the largest bee in the colony. Sometimes drones can be as big or even bigger than the queen, but you can tell them apart by thickness. The queen bee will be longer and narrower than any of the other bees. A bee’s abdomen is the lower part of its body, near the stinger. Honeybees have blunt abdomens, but the queen’s abdomen will have a more pointed shape. You can easily tell the queen apart this way. Worker and drone bees have legs that are directly under their bodies--you won’t be able to see much of their legs if you’re looking at them from the top. The queen bee has legs that splay outward, making them much more visible. There is only one queen bee per hive. If you find more than one bee that might be the queen, gently lift each bee up by its thorax (the middle of its body). Hold them under a magnifying glass and inspect its stinger. Workers, drones, and virgin queens will have barbs on their stingers. The queen bee’s stinger is smooth and un-barbed.

Article in English: The quickest and easiest way to make dal makhani is with a pressure cooker, but you can also cook the beans in a lidded pot. Along with your ingredients and the pressure cooker, you'll also need:  Large bowl for soaking the beans Strainer Large frying pan Wooden spoon One of the main features of dal makhani is that it’s creamy and rich. To get the right consistency and texture, the beans must be soaked so that they become soft.  Place the beans in a large bowl and cover them with 3 to 4 cups of water. Allow them to soak overnight.  If you don’t have time to soak the beans, place them in a large pot with water, and bring them to a rolling boil for five minutes. Turn off the heat, cover the beans and water with a lid, and let them sit for an hour.  The black lentils that you use for this dish are also called black gram and urad dal. You can also use split black lentils if you prefer. After soaking, strain the beans and discard the water they were soaking in. Place the beans into the pressure cooker with 4 cups of water. Lock the lid and heat the pressure cooker over high heat until it reaches proper pressure.  When the pressure cooker whistles the first time, reduce the heat a little and continue cooking the beans over medium–high heat for about 10 minutes, until the beans are soft.  If you don’t have a pressure cooker, cook the beans over medium–high heat in a lidded pot for 45 minutes to an hour.  Remove the beans from the heat when they're ready. Heat the ghee over medium heat in a large frying pan. Add the cumin seeds and toast them until they become fragrant and start to change color. Ghee is clarified butter, but you can also use regular butter or oil to toast the cumin. When the cumin is toasted, add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger to the frying pan. Heat over medium heat until everything becomes golden brown. Stir the mixture regularly so the garlic doesn’t burn. Burnt garlic becomes bitter, and this will change the flavor of the dish. Add the ingredients to the onion mixture and turn the heat up...

Article in English: The quickest way to burn fat and, in turn, burn calories is cardio. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Luckily, cardio comes in a number of forms. Running, biking, swimming, boxing, tennis, dancing, and myriad other activities count as cardio. So if your knees aren't too thrilled about pounding the pavement, turn to other options.  Running, tae kwon do, aerobics, and rope jumping are some of the highest calorie-burning activities out there. Look into high-intensity-interval-training. The Journal of Physiology released a new study that stated "HIT means doing a number of short bursts of intense exercise with short recovery breaks in between. The authors have already shown with young healthy college students that this produces the same physical benefits as conventional long duration endurance training despite taking much less time (and amazingly, actually doing less exercise!)" Not only will you burn more calories, but you'll do it in a shorter amount of time. Cardio is great, yes. You definitely need it to lose weight. However, in order to get the best results, you need to do cardio and weight-train. Cardio can be done every day while weight-training cannot. Your muscles need time to heal. Aim for a cardio workout as often as possible, but limit your weight-training to a few times per week. Nothing burns calories faster than brisk exercise. If you’re not already working out at least 3-4 times a week, get started. Your training sessions should be around an hour each and should balance cardiovascular activity with strength and conditioning. Get your heart rate up and your muscles burning. The more you move, you the more you’ll lose, period.  Take a couple days off to rest throughout the week. You’ll be in a reduced calorie state, so your recovery time will be even more important than usual. You’re much more likely to exercise consistently if you can make things fun for yourself. If you’re not the treadmill type, try yoga, swimming, kickboxing, mountain biking, climbing or Crossfit. Anything that keeps you active...

Article in English: The quickest way to change an MOV file to MP4 is to simply change the extension. MP4 is a subset of the MOV format, so no conversion is actually necessary. This will work on any operating system, and doesn't require any additional software. This is especially useful because QuickTime 7 Pro is no longer available for sale, and this method is free. Windows may be hiding the extensions of your files. The extensions will need to be visible in order to change them.  Windows 10 and 8 - Click the "View" tab at the top your Explorer window and check the "File name extensions" box. Windows 7 and earlier - Open the Control Panel and select "Folder Options." Click the "View" tab and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types." This will allow you to change the name of the file, as well as the extension. When you press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return, you'll be prompted to confirm that you want to change the extension. Your operating system will warn you that changing the file name can make the file unreadable. You can ignore this warning and proceed.  In macOS, click "Use .mp4" in the window that appears. In Windows, click "Yes" in the window that appears. Double-click the renamed file to confirm that loads in your media player. The file is now in MP4 format, and will work with any player or device that supports it.  You can always change the extension back to .mov to revert it to its original form. This will work for 99% of MOV files you come across. If this doesn't work, see one of the following methods.

Article in English: The quickest way to remove phlegm and other unwanted substances from the throat is simple over-the-counter medication that can be purchased at most drug stores and supermarkets.  OTC medications labeled as "expectorants" are designed to clear mucus and phlegm from the throat and chest. These include brand names like Mucinex or generic medications like guaifenesin.  Always check the side effects of any new medications you're taking. Many expectorants cause drowsiness and sometimes medication labels might even advise you not operate a motor vehicle while taking the medication.  You should always consult your physician when taking any new medications, even over the counter meds, to make sure they're safe for you given your medical history and any current medication you're taking.  If over the counter medications do not help, see your physician. If she thinks it's necessary, she may refer you to an Ears, Nose, and Throat Specialist to help find you a prescription medication to clear out your throat. Salt water, or saline solution, can effectively clean out the throat for a short period of time by preventing nasal drip, reducing stuffiness, and removing mucus from the nose. You can buy sterile saline solution from the drug store or make your own at home.  Mix half a teaspoon of baking soda and half a teaspoon of salt in a cup of distilled water at room temperature. If you have to use tap water, boil it first to sterilize it and then let it cool down.  Dissolve the baking soda and salt into the water.  You will need some kind of rubber syringe. You can use an ear syringe or a medical syringe with no needle. Squirt the solution into your nose and let it run into the back of your throat. Spit it out into the sink.  Do not be concerned if you accidentally swallow some of the solution. It will not hurt you.  This should help clear your nasal pathways, which will reduce the buildup of phlegm in your throat. Repeat as symptoms persist.  Make sure to keep the syringe sterile by washing it with soap and water after using...

Article in English: The radius (r) is the distance from the exact center of the sphere to any point on the surface of the sphere. Generally speaking, you can find the radius of a sphere if you know the diameter, the circumference, the volume, or the surface area.   Diameter (D): the distance across the sphere – double the radius.  Diameter is the length of a line through the center of the sphere: from one point on the outside of the sphere to a corresponding point directly across from it.  In other words, the greatest possible distance between two points on the sphere.  Circumference (C): the one-dimensional distance around the sphere at its widest point. In other words, the perimeter of a spherical cross section whose plane passes through the center of the sphere.  Volume (V): the three-dimensional space contained inside the sphere. It is the "space that the sphere takes up."   Surface Area (A): the two-dimensional area on the outside surface of the sphere. The amount of flat space that covers the outside of the sphere.  Pi (π): a constant that expresses the ratio of the circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The first ten digits of Pi are always 3.141592653, although it is usually rounded to 3.14. You can use the diameter, circumference, volume, and surface area to calculate the radius of a sphere. You can also calculate each of these numbers if you know the length of the radius itself. Thus, in order to find the radius, try reversing the formulas for these components' calculations. Learn the formulas that use the radius to find diameter, circumference, volume, and surface area.   D = 2r. As with circles, the diameter of a sphere is twice the radius.  C = πD or 2πr. As with circles, the circumference of a sphere is equal to π times the diameter. Since the diameter is twice the radius, we can also say that the circumference is twice the radius times π.  V = (4/3)πr3. The volume of a sphere is the radius cubed (times itself twice), times π, times 4/3.   A = 4πr2. The surface area of a sphere is the radius squared...

Article in English: The radius is half as long as the diameter, so the diameter can be thought of as 2r. Keeping this in mind, you can write down the formula for finding the circumference of a circle given the radius: C = 2πr. In this formula, "r" represents the radius of the circle. Again, you can plug π into your calculator to get its numeral value, which is a closer approximation of 3.14. For this example, let's say you're cutting out a decorative strip of paper to wrap around the edge of a pie you've just made. The radius of the pie is 5 inches. To find the circumference that you need, just plug the radius into the equation:  C = 2πr C = 2π x 5 C = 10π C = 31.4 inches

Article in English: The rapid strep test can be done quickly in your doctor’s office with a throat swab, and it tests for the streptococcus bacteria that cause strep throat. These tests are not always accurate, and can show inaccurately negative results a third of the time. This is a good first test, but a throat culture is often required for accurate diagnosis. The most accurate way to determine the cause of your tonsillitis is for your doctor to check the results of your throat culture. This is when your throat swab is sent to the lab and a lab technician determines what, if any, bacteria are present on your tonsils. Then your doctor can prescribe you the right antibiotics to treat the cause of your tonsillitis. Mono can only be diagnosed with a blood test. Because it’s a virus, mono will pass on its own — stay hydrated and get a lot of rest. You should still see your doctor for diagnosis if you have symptoms of mono because mono can cause an enlarged spleen, which can rupture if you overexert yourself. Your doctor will explain what you need to do in order to stay safe and get better.

Article in English: The rash might appear earlier if you contact a lot of the urushiol oil. You'll only have a rash where the plant's oil touched your skin, so it often appears in a line. In most cases, the rash will last for about 2-3 days. The rash may spread from scratching if you still have oil on your skin, so the line might not be straight. If you have a rash that's spreading after you scratch it, then it's likely poison ivy or one of its cousins, poison oak and poison sumac. However, keep in mind that other types of rashes can spread as well. The oil from a poison ivy plant can linger on your pet's fur or on clothing that came in contact with the plant. Unfortunately, this oil can cause rashes. If you suspect your pet or other items have contacted poison ivy, look for a splotchy red rash on the affected area.  Wash clothes that came in contact with poison ivy immediately and separately. Handle them as little as possible. If your pets came into contact with poison ivy, wash them immediately. The irritating oil can remain on their fur and spread to things they touch. You should also wash anything you know they touched, as oil could remain on the surface. Pets usually won't develop a rash after contacting poison ivy. You likely won't notice your pet got into poison ivy unless you see them do it or develop a rash yourself after touching the contaminated fur. Blisters are normal with poison ivy rashes, and their size can vary from pin-sized to dime-sized. Your blisters may pop and release a clear fluid, but this is normal and won't spread your rash. You'll also have inflammation as a result of the rash, which can cause swelling.  Blisters usually develop within 1 to 14 days after you encounter the poison ivy.  Never pop blisters on your own! With a poison ivy rash, you'll likely see more swelling than with other types of rashes. Watch for pus coming from the blisters. If you notice pus, then your rash is likely infected and you should see a doctor for treatment as soon as possible.

Summary in Russian:

После контакта с ядовитым плющом подождите 24–48 часов. Если вы прикоснулись к зараженному животному или предмету, поищите на коже пятна сыпи. Поищите волдыри и отеки вокруг области, которая контактировала с ядовитым плющом.


Article in English: The rash or blisters may not appear until as late as 48 hours after exposure, so do not wait to do this. If you identify poison sumac and know you have been exposed, pour rubbing alcohol over the affected skin as soon as possible. Because the toxin, urushiol, will not fully dissolve in alcohol, using a paper towel or other solid material to rub the alcohol-soaked skin may be necessary to remove a significant amount of the toxin.   Warning: the alcohol may temporarily make you more susceptible to further exposure, by removing the protective oils on your skin. Avoid areas where poisonous plants grow for the next 24 hours after applying alcohol, if possible. Wear disposable gloves during this process if your hands have not been exposed. Whether or not you applied alcohol, scrub the exposed area with lots of cold water. Do not use warm water because it will open your pores and make the exposure worse. You may also use soap, detergent, or specialized products such as Tecnu, but wash these off frequently so they do not dry on your skin along with any toxin they have picked up. If you develop blisters or a rash, you may take oral antihistamines to reduce the itching. You may also apply calamine, hydrocortisone lotions, or oatmeal baths for the same purpose.  If you develop large, oozing blisters, you may wish to visit a doctor for prescription-strength treatment. Ooze from blisters does not contain the toxin, so it cannot spread the rash. If you suspect you inhaled poison sumac smoke, seek medical attention immediately even if symptoms have not developed. Other serious situations that may require a doctor's attention include a rash on your face or genitals, or a rash anywhere that fails to reduce in size after a week, as well as eyes that are swollen shut, or trouble breathing. If you leave the sumac oil on tools or clothing, they can spread the rash for months or years after the initial exposure. Put on disposable gloves and wash tools with soap and water, rubbing alcohol, or diluted bleach. Store clothes in...

Article in English: The ratio of milk to flour to butter is very important in Bechamel sauce since the texture and flavor of the sauce relies on only these three ingredients. Be sure to use exact measurements: 2 tablespoons butter, 4 1/2 tablespoons flour, and 3 cups milk.  If you prefer a thicker sauce, scale back the milk by 1/2 cup. For a more liquid sauce, add 1/2 cup milk. Using full-fat milk will result in a thicker sauce than using low fat or skim milk.

Summary in Russian:

Измерьте ингредиенты.


Article in English: The ratio simply represents the relationship between two quantities. "5 apples to 3 pears" is the same as "3 pears to 5 apples." Therefore, 5 apples/ 3 pears = 3 pears/ 5 apples. For example, the probability of rolling a 2 on a die is 1/6, or one out of six. Note: if you're using a ratio to denote probability, then the order of quantities does matter. Though you may be used to simplifying numbers whenever you can, it can benefit you to scale a ratio up. For example, if you know that you'll need 2 cups of water for every 1 cup of pasta you boil (2 cups water/1 cup pasta), but you want to boil 2 cups of pasta, then you'll need to scale up the ratio to know how much water to use. To scale up a ratio, simply multiply the top and bottom by the same number. 2 cups water/ 1 cup pasta * 2/ 2 = 4 cups water/ 2 cups pasta. You'll need 4 cups of water to boil 2 cups of pasta.

Article in English: The rationale behind this is to provide an adjustment period for the cat, as well as a possible lesson for your cat in leaving the tree alone. Letting the cat adjust to the new tree should help deter the cat from trying to mess with it.  Fill a spray bottle with water and hang on to it. It is a good idea to set the tree in place, then let the cat in to investigate but hover in the background with the spray bottle, just in case. If your cat shows any signs of wanting to leap at or on the tree, a light spritz of water on its back and a stern "NO!" will get the point across. It's hard enough fiddling with trees, decorations, and breakable ornaments without also having felines running up past you and chasing after the objects as you're gingerly hanging them up. Your cat will assume this is a game you intend for it to play, so it's just easiest to keep the cat out of the way until everything has been set up. While decorating, if your cat is about, resist the urge to tease her with decorations as you're adding them. Doing so will only encourage the cat to see the glittery items as toys and things to swat any time it pleases. Some ornaments will prove irresistible because they sparkle, glow, dangle, and shimmer. Blander, less shiny or flat matte objects which don't dangle much will have less allure for your cat. Felt, paper, and plain decorations might be the best choice. Avoid anything that dangles a lot, jumps about, or spins.  Try plastic ornaments instead of glass, as they are less breakable. Try to find shatter-proof bulbs and ornaments. Twist the wire ornament hook around the branch instead of just hanging from the hook shape provided. Never put catnip stuffed items on the tree. That's just asking your cat to mess with the tree. Tinsel is potentially hazardous for cats who tend to chew and swallow things they find lying around. Ribbons and other items that dangle from the tree can also be potentially harmful for your cat. Artificial snow is toxic and should not be used when you have pets and small children. ...

Подумайте о том, чтобы не украшать елку сразу. Украсьте елку, когда рядом не будет кота. Выбирайте те украшения, которые не слишком сильно привлекут внимание вашей кошки. Подумайте о том, чтобы вовсе не вешать никакие игрушки. Подумайте о том, чтобы особенно тонкие и хрупкие украшения повесить повыше. Как можно надежнее и крепче прикрепите украшения к елке.


Article in English: The reason luck happens to the lucky is that lucky people go into a situation expecting success and expecting a lucky outcome. It's just like grandma always used to say: If you think it's going to be boring, it will be. If you go into work expecting a rough day, chances are it's going to be a rough day. If you go into an experience expecting that you're going to have an opportunity for success, you're going to make it happen. Expecting a lucky outcome will make you more aware of advantages and opportunities. Like the lucky people looking through the paper, you'll be more aware and on the lookout for that little thing that's going to get you ahead of the game, rather than giving up prematurely, because you feel unlucky. At the end of each day, reflect back on what you've accomplished. Each thing ticked off your to-do list, each goal finished for the day should be celebrated with a mental note and a reward. Don't think about things you wish you would have done, or the things you'd liked to have made time for. Think about what you actually did. Focus hard on your accomplishments and celebrate them. List big accomplishments and small ones. Cleaning up the kitchen without a fuss? That's an accomplishment. Getting out of bed and riding the bus to work? Huge deal. Feel lucky about it. Take a little time out of each day to celebrate the things you've accomplished. It doesn't have to be a blowout party with champagne and cake, but some quiet reflection over new accomplishments and old successes is very important to help you feel lucky.  Learning to look back over each day to examine your accomplishments will also help you to move forward and set yourself up for more accomplishments. Get addicted to that pleased feeling of having done something productive today. Make sure your celebrations aren't counterproductive. Celebrating a hard day at the office with a long night at the bar won't make tomorrow very easy on you. We tend to compare ourselves to people in our social circles: siblings, Facebook friends, or high...

Article in English: The reason that employers place so much emphasis on work experience is because they want to ensure that you have developed the skills necessary to complete the job. As a result, it is very important that you clearly list and highlight all relevant skills. Some skills to consider include:  Computer skills: This can include working with Windows and Mac operating systems, typing over 60 words per minute, proficiency with PowerPoint or other Microsoft Office programs, web programming, blogging, content management systems, databases, graphic design and more. Communication skills: Includes anything from public speaking, writing, training, and listening to facilitating teamwork. Problem-solving and research skills: Students and bloggers have finely honed research skills that can be an asset to a company. People with organizational or office management skills can also boast exceptional problem solving skills. Managerial or leadership skills: If you have ever led a project at your job, through a charity, or amongst friends, then you have experience developing leadership skills. Although it is essential to know and understand all of the skills that you have developed over the years, it is even more important that you can relate those skills to past work or volunteer experience. This will demonstrate to a potential employer that you have actually put your skills into practice. It is one thing to say “I have excellent written communication skills,” but is even more impressive to say “I have 2,500 followers on my blog, which focuses on creative writing.” You have likely developed numerous skills through extra-curricular activities and the connection between these activities and your dream job, may not be obvious. For example, perhaps your hobby is soccer. This does not immediately transfer to a position in IT, but if you coached a soccer team or organized a league, you can demonstrate that you have concrete leadership abilities. Awards and recognition can help to give weight to some of the standard statements that are...

Article in English: The reason you are in school is to learn and get a proper education, so take the energy you would normally spend thinking about your teacher and re-focus on it and also on your work. You’ll see improvements in your academic performance and it will take your mind off your teacher. Thoughts frequently lead to action and visualizing something makes it more likely to occur and people will see you. Thinking about your teacher increases your chances of doing something you might later regret. Try focusing on things about your teacher that you don't like. The idea here is not to dwell on the negatives, but to remind yourself that the relationship was not as perfect as you remember it being, e.g. Age difference, appearances. Interact with your teacher in class, but do not seek them out or try to spend time with them outside of your designated class time. It just isn't right for you, especially as they are probably quite a bit older than you. It is generally okay to date a person older than you in later life, but a young person dating an older teacher is often considered inappropriate. Do not contact them on social media or try to meet with them outside of school. Respect their position as your teacher and give them the space that they need to do that job well. Making decisions in advance about how you will handle your impulses can help you to be more successful in conquering them. Think about how you’d like to act when talking to your teacher and then follow through on your plan.

Article in English: The reason you learned relaxation techniques was to keep yourself calm while slowly building up your exposure to dogs.  But before you start allowing dogs to be in your presence, you need to develop a plan.  This plan should include each step you’re going to go through between now (no dogs) and actually being in their presence.  Your plan should be customized for your particular type of fears, and the fearful situations you personally experience.  The list should be written in order of least fearful to most fearful so you work your way up to conquering your most fearful situation. An example of a plan to overcome your fear of dogs is as follows:  Step 1 - draw a dog on a piece of paper. Step 2 - read about dogs. Step 3 - look at photos of dogs. Step 4 - look at videos of dogs. Step 5 - look at dogs through a closed window. Step 6 - look at dogs through a partially opened window. Step 7 - look at dogs through an open window. Step 8 - look at dogs through a doorway. Step 9 - look at dogs from outside the doorway. Step 10 - look at a dog (who is on a leash) in the next room. Step 11 - look at a dog (who is on a leash) in the same room. Step 12 - sit beside a dog. Step 13 - pet a dog. Use the scale to measure your level of anxiety, with 0 being totally relaxed and 100 being the most fear/anxiety/discomfort you have ever experienced. This is a helpful tool for measuring how your distress levels change over time.  The anxiety distress scale can also help you decide when it's time for you to move to the next step of your exposure plan. Be patient and take your time. Don't move to the next step too quickly. At some point in your plan you will have to place yourself in the presence of an actual dog.  You need this dog to be handled by a competent and trustful person, and the dog needs to be predictable and well-trained.  Talk to the dog’s owner in advance of executing your plan and explain to them what you’re trying to accomplish.  They should be patient and understanding as they may need to simply sit there with...

Article in English: The reasons for your decision are your own. You should explain them only if you are comfortable and wish to divulge this information to your friends and family. If you don't want to explain, you are not required to do so. You have every right to your privacy and protecting it, even from nosy relatives. If you don’t want to talk about your choice not to have kids, don’t.  If someone asks you about having kids, simply say, “That’s not something I want to talk about right now.” If you’re not comfortable, say, “I’m sorry, I’m just not comfortable discussing that with you at this time.” If you’re coupled, say, ‘Thanks for asking. My partner and I keep that part of our relationship private.” It’s fair if your parents want grandchildren, but it shouldn’t be your responsibility. If your family (or friends) tend to meddle or get more involved than you feel comfortable, set a boundary. Some parents use their children to fulfill their own wishes, but that’s unfair to you and an indication that you’re in an enmeshed relationship. If your friends or family push you to talk about your choice or try to push you into having kids, set down a firm boundary.  For example, say, “We’ve talked about this before and nothing has changed. Please don’t bring this up again.” You can also say, “Please respect my choices as my own. I’m sure you have your own opinion, but I make my own choices.” Set a consequence when you set a boundary. For instance, you can say, "I'm sorry, but if you bring this up again I'm going to leave the room." At some point, the questions and prodding from others may get old and tiresome. If you’re sick of feeling like you have to explain your decisions, be humorous in your response. If you respond in a light-hearted way, it might help to diffuse any conflict and not trigger strong emotions. For example, say, “I’m working on growing my family of dogs! This is your grand puppy.” Some people may be invested in you having children, like your parents or grandparents. Even if your mind is set on not having kids, hear...

Article in English: The receiver should fit into one of your computer's USB ports, which are the thin, rectangular slots found on the sides of laptops and on the front of desktops' CPUs. Depending on your computer's operating system, you may be prompted to click a pop-up window confirming that you'd like to allow the receiver to use the USB port. To do so, you must first locate the On/Off switch. Its location will vary depending on the keyboard, so look on the bottom, back, and sides of the keyboard.  If your keyboard uses batteries, you'll also need to make sure it has a fresh set before continuing. Many Bluetooth keyboards use built-in, rechargeable batteries instead of AAs or AAAs, so if your keyboard came with a charger, consider charging it for awhile before turning it on. While this button's location will vary depending on the keyboard, you can usually find the "Connect" button somewhere on the sides or the top of the keyboard. If your typing shows up on-screen, your keyboard has successfully been connected.  If the typing doesn't work, try turning your keyboard off and then on again. Your keyboard may have a light that begins blinking when you press the "Connect" button. This light will usually solidify once the keyboard is connected.

Article in English: The receiver should fit into one of your computer's USB ports. You can typically find USB ports, which are thin, rectangular slots, on the sides of laptops and on the front of desktops' CPU boxes. Plugging in the receiver before turning on the mouse will allow your computer to install any drivers or software needed to use the mouse. To do so, you'll typically flip the mouse over and remove a tray on the bottom, though some mice instead have their batteries in a compartment in the back of the mouse.  If you haven't used the mouse in several months, consider replacing the batteries even if they were new when you inserted them. Some mice, such as the Apple Magic Mouse 2, require charging instead of new batteries. This typically involves manipulating a button on the bottom of the mouse, though you may need to look for the On/Off switch on the side of the mouse. If you can't find the On/Off button, consult your mouse's manual. This button's location will vary based on your mouse's developer, but you'll usually be able to find this button either between the two mouse buttons or on the mouse's side. Some mice come listed as "plug and play", meaning that you don't need to manually connect them or download any software. Once you see the cursor begin to move on-screen, your mouse is connected. If your mouse doesn't start moving, try turning it off and then back on. If applicable, you may also want to change the USB port into which the receiver is plugged.

Article in English: The reception will be work for you. Save some time for fun, but you need to get there early enough to make any last minute preparations with the staff, get everything ready and in place, and prepare yourself for the job to be done. There'll likely be seventy things that need to happen just before the party starts, so you probably can't get there too early. If the ceremony itself takes place elsewhere, try to sit close to the back so you can jet out as soon as its over and head over to the reception hall. Standing in front of everyone and moving your lips so no sound comes out, or jarring everyone with a sudden peal of feedback is kind of a bummer for everyone. Don't make the first time you get up in front of the big crowd the first time you've spoken into the house mic. Practice holding it at the correct distance so you'll be loud enough for everyone to hear and you won't have to go through an awkward sound-check with all the family and friends present. Your biggest job will happen right as the reception starts. Everyone will arrive and need to be directed to their table, place their presents, and any other preliminary things that need to happen. It's customary for the MC to introduce themselves, go over the course of events for the evening, just before the bridal party enters, then introduce the bridal party. Typically, the biggest announcement you'll have to make is when the bridal party enters. You'll need to introduce them, "The new Mr. and Mrs. _____!" When the bride is seated, let everyone know they can sit down and visit for a while. Typically, everyone will eat dinner and you won't have anything to do for a while but eat with them. Most of the time, speeches will happen after dessert, at which time you'll grab the mic again and introduce anyone who's prepared a speech for the evening.  Don't give preliminary speeches for each speech. You don't need to tell long-winded jokes about each person (again, you're not the entertainment). Simple is good: "Next up, let's all welcome the maid-of-honor!" try to...

Article in English: The recipient of the forwarded message will be able to see the names and email addresses of anyone else who was involved in the original email thread – and depending on the situation, it might be most respectful to those people if you remove their emails from the forward. You don't need to change anything, depending on the context, but you might consider lightly editing the text or structure of the message that you're passing along. Take this opportunity to delete any parts of the forwarded message that you don't want your recipients to see. Once the email has been sent, you can't take it back! Look for the following things:  Carats (the bulky <<<>>> chains that can build up in a much-forwarded e-mail) Mechanical errors: unnecessary extra lines/spaces; grammatical and spelling errors. Attachments that are copies of the e-mail that you are forwarding. This is a waste of bandwidth and a golden opportunity for spammers/virus spreaders. Banners that companies place at the bottom of your e-mails. These might read something like, "Free emoticons for your email!" or "make free pc to phone calls with ----" In a long email thread, there is information left over from the people who got the message before you: specifically, their names and email addresses. As the messages get forwarded along, the list of addresses grows and grows. All it takes is for some poor friend to get a virus, and his/her computer can send that virus to every email address that has come across his computer. Someone might even take all of those addresses and sell them or send junk mail – or even try to apply for a credit card in your name!

Article in English: The recommendations below are based on normal dosages only. No matter which product you choose, be aware of the following:  It's best to talk to a doctor or dermatologist before taking any medication while pregnant. This is especially true if you are already taking other medication. Use only as recommended. Most products are intended for daily or twice-daily use only. Don't use two or more products with the same active ingredients. Some ingredients used to treat acne are also in other skin care products. Avoid face or body peels, which increase the amount of drug absorbed. Glycolic acids and other alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are considered safe to use topically while pregnant. Very little of the drug is absorbed through the skin. Topical treatments are drugs that go directly onto your skin: lotions, gels, facial washes, etc. Oral treatments (pills) carry much higher risk. Do not take oral acne treatments during pregnancy unless directed by a doctor. The US FDA places azelaic acid in pregnancy category B. This means there is no known risk, but the drug has not been studied on pregnant women. It is considered safe when used as directed.  This drug requires a prescription in some regions, including the US. This drug is commonly sold as Finacea. Acne is often associated with excessive skin bacteria. Topical antibacterials (antibiotics) can help treat this condition. Clindamycin and erythromycin, two of the most common options, are both in pregnancy category B. They are considered safe to use during pregnancy. You'll need a prescription in most regions. If you do find an over-the-counter drug, confirm the other active ingredients are safe as well. These drugs are often combined with higher-risk ingredients. Salicylic acid and other beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) are in FDA pregnancy category C. This means the FDA has not ruled out risk to the fetus. That said, some doctors consider these drugs safe in topical form, at no more than 2% concentration. Salicylic acid is often confused with aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid),...

Article in English: The recommended daily amount of Vitamin B12 required for general health is 2.4 mcg for people age 14 and older. Pregnant women and breastfeeding women should have 2.8 mcg. Children still need B12, but can have lower amounts. Children nine to 13 need 1.8 mcg, four to eight years old need 1.2 mcg, one to three years need 0.9 mcg, 7-12 months need 0.5 mcg, and zero to six months need 0.4 mcg. Some vegetarians and vegans may be at risk for Vitamin B12 deficiency because one of the main sources of B12 is from animal products. B12 can be obtained through fortified cereals. Try eating three or four servings of B12 fortified foods daily.  You can also talk to your doctor about taking supplements. Make sure to read the labels on the fortified foods to determine the exact amount of B12 you are getting daily. Symptoms of B12 deficiency include fatigue, weakness, diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite, and weight loss.  Other symptoms, related to the effects of Vitamin B12 on the nervous system, include numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, balance problems, confusion, depression, behavioral changes, soreness of the mouth or tongue, and bleeding gums.  The chance of B12 deficiency increases with age. This condition affects people who have atrophic gastritis, pernicious anemia, Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, or immune system disorders like Graves’ disease or lupus. It also affects people who’ve had surgery to remove part of the stomach and small intestine, and people who drink heavily. Long-term usage of heartburn medicine can also cause B12 deficiency. Before taking a B12 supplement, you should talk to your doctor, especially if you take certain medications. Taking Vitamin B12 is safe; there have been no toxic or adverse effects of taking Vitamin B12.  Vitamin B12 can, however, interact with a number of medications used in treating acid reflux and peptic ulcers.  The drugs used to treat these disorders decrease the absorption of Vitamin B12. Some medicines used to treat diabetes and high cholesterol can also...
