Article in English: In addition to facial expression and tone of voice, humans express emotion in other ways. While nonverbal cues can be misleading, learning to pick up on them can help you read emotion. Important nonverbal cues that convey emotion are body movements, posture, and eye contact. Make an effort to notice whether she appears animated and moving around or is stiff and tense. Also, does she stand up straight and make eye contact, or hunch her shoulders, fidget with her hands or, cross her arms.  Moving around and standing up straight shows she feels open and comfortable. However, too much movement (e.g. energetic arm waving) combined with a loud voice could mean she is excited or angry. Hunched shoulders, a quiet voice, and crossed arms are signs she feels uncomfortable or nervous. If she refuses to make eye contact with you, it could mean she is upset or feels guilty.  Keep in mind that culture, social situations, and individual personalities influence how we express emotion through body language. In this sense, facial expressions are considered more universal and reliable. For example, Italians tend to move their arms when they speak, but this could be considered impolite in Japan. Or, making eye contact is a sign of respect in the United States and Europe, but is considered rude or aggressive in some Asian and African cultures. Focusing on the entire body in addition to the face is the best way to read and interpret emotions. Posture and body movements not only reflects emotion, but also  the intensity of an emotion. There are degrees of positive and negative emotion. For example, positive emotions range from interested (low) to elated (high), and negative from sadness (low) to violent anger (high).  Shoulders and torso: hunching the shoulders and leaning forward is associated with intense anger. In contrast, leaning backwards can be a sign of panic or fear. If she stands up straight with her shoulders back and head held high, this is a sign she feel confident. However, if she hunches their shoulders or slumps...

Article in English: In addition to flawless skin, dolls have shiny, perfectly styled hair. Think about how you want your hair to look - Long or short? Straight, wavy, or curly?

Article in English: In addition to forecasting the weather, meteorologists study the characteristics and processes of the atmosphere and how they affect the environment and evolve. They also study climate and climate changes. There are many different kinds of meteorologists.  An operational meteorologist is responsible for forecasting the weather. A climatologist gathers and examines the seasonal changes that occur over time such as months or years. A physical meteorologist conducts research on the atmosphere and different physical properties. A synoptic meteorologist uses mathematical models and creates different tools such as software for forecasting weather. An environmental meteorologist studies problems like air pollution that affects the Earth's atmosphere. There are multiple places you can find jobs in meteorology. Each kind of work requires slightly different backgrounds, but graduate degrees can help you have a better chance getting jobs and receiving promotions.  You can work for government agencies, such as the Department of Defense, NASA, NOAA, or the National Weather Service.  You can work for a television station, such as a local news network, a national network like CNN, Fox News, or MSNBC, or for The Weather Channel. You can also find work in the private sector. Many companies pay meteorologists to help figure out how climate and weather patterns will affect their business. Meteorologists can also get jobs dealing with agriculture or air pollution. Airlines use weather forecasters to help them plan flights. Shipping and insurance companies may also hire meteorological consultants.  You may also be interested in being a forensic meteorologist. This job provides meteorological information, data, and consulting for legal cases. The American Meteorological Society offers certification programs for certain specializations and areas of interest for meteorologists. Some of these programs include broadcasting and consulting. The American Meteorological Society offers Certified Broadcast Meteorologist credentials for...

Article in English: In addition to getting treatment from a cancer specialist, another important factor in increasing your risk of survival is eating nutritious food. Your body, particularly your immune system, needs lots of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and healthy fats to fight cancer and other diseases. Furthermore, fighting cancer (and other chronic diseases) requires lots of energy, so getting enough calories per day is also important.  A healthy cancer-fighting diet should include lots of fresh fruits and veggies (particularly ones rich in antioxidants, such as dark berries, grapes, broccoli and peppers), lean meat and fish, as well as fibrous whole grains. Cancer tends to thrive on sugar, especially refined sugar, so avoid soda pop, milk chocolate, ice cream, candy, cakes, donuts and most desserts if your have cancer. Another way to boost your immune system and maintain a healthy weight is by getting regular (daily) cardiovascular exercise. However, exercising (and eating) might be difficult during some types of treatment, such as chemo. Great types of cardiovascular exercise for cancer patients include brisk walks, hiking, cycling, swimming and jumping on a trampoline.  Exercise also improves blood flow, strengthens bones and muscles, improves lung function, stimulates appetite, improves sleep and elevates mood — which are all factors important for surviving cancer. Depending on the type and stage of cancer you have, some exercises may be inappropriate, so always okay any activity with your oncologist. One thing many long-term cancer survivors have in common is that they have friends and family they can depend on for emotional, spiritual and/or physical support. In contrast, being alone without anyone to confide in and get emotional support from significantly increases the risk of dying from all forms of cancer (and many other diseases).  Don't be ashamed or embarrassed by a cancer diagnosis and not tell friends and family. Instead, tell them immediately and allow them to digest the information and help in their own...

Article in English: In addition to helping your ears get rid of that extra water, this solution will also keep them from getting infected. Simply make an ear drop solution that is made up of one part rubbing alcohol to one part white vinegar. Put about one teaspoon (or 5 milliliters) of the solution into your ear, either by pouring it in or using an ear dropper. Then, carefully drain it out. You can get the help of an adult to drop the solution into your ear for you.  The acid in this mixture acts to break down the cerumen (earwax) that may be holding in some water in the ear canal, while the alcohol dries quickly and takes the water with it. The alcohol will also help the water in your ear evaporate more quickly. This method works well for people who are prone to getting swimmer's ear. Do not do this if you have a punctured eardrum. Face the affected ear down on your palm and then use your palm to gently push in and out until water begins to come out. Don’t do this with the ear facing upwards or you may drive it farther back into the canal. This will create a suction-like vacuum that will draw the water in your ear toward your hand.  Alternatively, tilt your ear down, place your finger in it, and make a vacuum with your finger by pushing and pulling rapidly. In a moment the water should come out of your ear very quickly. Note that this is not the preferred method, as scratching your ear canal can cause infection. If your palm isn't working and you want to use your finger, then make sure that your finger is clean and that your nails are short. Additionally during the "in" phase of the vacuum method it may be beneficial to gently massage the ear in a clockwise (or counter) motion while the air is tight. This may help irrigate the moist wax and free the moisture a little. This may be especially helpful if your hearing has been impaired by the experience. Though you may be skeptical about using a blow dryer to remove water from your ears, it has proven to work for some people.Simply place your dryer on its lowest heat setting, or...

Article in English: In addition to keeping the cage clean, it’s important to keep it refreshed with toys and things to chew on and dig in. Try giving them empty cereal or granola bar boxes with the printed outside removed to prevent exposure to inks. Hamsters like empty toilet-paper tubes, too, and will love to play in them until they chew them to shreds. Make sure to cut them so Syrian hamsters can fit. Hamsters love attention! They each have their own personalities, but handling them regularly will help you get used to each other. But of course, you should be careful at all times. For example, don’t hold them by the legs and wheelbarrow them. It strains their little legs and can hurt them or in severe cases break their limbs. Make sure you give them a chance to get comfortable with their new cage before handling them (about a week is best). Moving into a new cage is a big event for a hamster and they will be more interested in human attention once they are happy. It’s crucial to provide a good environment for your hamster, but you can also check on their health by listening to their breathing, and if there is wheezing call a vet. Check their paws for lacerations; check their teeth; check their skin to see if there are any signs of flaky or irritated skin. Make sure their nose is dry and their eyes clear.  You may consider weighing them to see if they're gaining or losing weight, which could tip you off to problems.

Article in English: In addition to monitoring and regulating ammonia levels, there are several things you can do to keep your aquarium healthy. Make it a habit to care for your tank water regularly. For example, you should check the water temperature every day.  On a weekly basis, replace 10% of the water with dechlorinated water.You should also test your water for nitrates and ammonia weekly. Each month, change 25% of your water. You should also perform any necessary filter maintenance. On a monthly basis, scrub the algae from your tank. Prune live plants if you have them. Write down your maintenance schedule on your calendar so that you keep track of each of your steps. Part of maintaining a healthy aquarium is to provide the proper amount of lighting. Most fish need 8-10 hours per day. Make sure that they are getting the correct amount of light.  You can purchase lights with timers for your aquarium. This will ensure that you are not over or under lighting them. Practice precaution after a power failure. Even a brief loss of power can cause stress for your fish. After a power outage, check to make sure that all of your equipment is functioning properly. In order to have healthy and happy fish, you need to provide them with the proper diet. What you feed them will depend on what type of fish you have. Make sure that you are purchasing the right food for your aquarium.  Make sure not to overfeed your fish. That can cause the tank to become contaminated. Experiment to find the right amount of food. Your fish should eat their fill in about 5 minutes. If it takes them longer than 5 minutes, reduce the amount. If they finish quickly, add more food. Try to feed the fish at the same time each day. Keeping to a schedule will help you keep track of feedings. An important part of keeping your fish healthy is to carefully control the population. When you are increasing the population, it is best to increase your number gradually. Do not add more than 3 fish at a time.  Purchase healthy fish. The best way to do this is to go to a...

Article in English: In addition to past relationships and childhood experiences, negative thinking may be preventing you from loving or being loved. Some people think negative thoughts about themselves or their partners that cause the relationship to suffer. Do not allow a negative thought to go through your mind without addressing and reframing it. Doing so will help you to change your mindset and stop reinforcing your fears about loving or being loved. The next time you have a negative thought, turn it into a positive one.  For example, if you are worried about being rejected, you might think something like, “She’s way out of my league. She’s going to dump me.” Or, if you feel unworthy of being loved you might think something like, “You are too ugly for anyone to ever love you, so don’t even try.” These thoughts are damaging to your self-esteem and to your ability to love and be loved. If you are dealing with these types of negative thoughts, you will need to work to silence them and change them. The next time that you find yourself thinking a negative thought, stop yourself and change the thought. If you think to yourself, “She’s way out of my league. She’s going to dump me,” turn it into something more positive. Change it to something like, “She’s a beautiful woman. I am excited to see where this relationship goes.” You might also benefit from some positive self-talk regarding love. Try using positive daily affirmations to develop more positive feelings about love. Positive daily affirmations can help you to deal with the negative emotions that may be part of your fears about love. Take a few moments each day to look at yourself in the mirror and say something positive about love. You can say something that you believe about love or something that you would like to believe about love. Some examples of things you might tell yourself include:  “I am worthy of love.” “I will have a fulfilling loving relationship someday.” “Love is a wonderful thing.” Vulnerability is defined as the risk and uncertainty that comes along with...

Article in English: In addition to pruning your spirea shrub, you might also consider dividing it. After a few years, shrubs like spirea can become a little lackluster. Dividing them at the root is one way to revive them and remove old growth. You’ll also get more plants by doing this. A cloudy overcast day is a good time for dividing plants as the roots dry out too much in sunny hot weather once they are exposed above ground. Give your plant a good watering the day before you plan to divide it. The day after watering, dig out the plant and remove as much soil as possible from the roots without damaging them. A hosepipe works well for this. To divide your plant:  Using something like a spade or saw, cut the root crown into quarters. Each piece should have a healthy bit of root and above-ground growth. Remove any old root sections at the narrow tip and get rid of any damaged roots or any parts of the plant that seem rotten. Give the parts of the plant above ground a prune when you do this, removing any damaged or dead growth and some of the thicker oldest wood stems. Replant the root sections and you’ll have new, vigorous growth when the plant re-emerges in the spring.

You could send a simple email or Facebook note, or write a message on a card you pick out from the stationery store.

What’s more, this person can also serve as a source of support for you if the response isn’t what you hoped.  Ask this person to contact your half-siblings on your behalf. You might say, “Could you please reach out to Harry and Beth for me? If they are interested, I’d love to talk to them. Here’s my number…” Social media has made the world so much smaller. People who currently live across the globe from one another are accessible with the click of a cursor.

Article in English: In addition to stiffness and spasms in the neck and jaw muscles, tetanus also causes abdominal and spinal tightness/cramping, widespread muscle twitching, difficulty swallowing, fever, sweating and rapid heart rate. If you have symptoms of tetanus, you will need to be treated in a hospital  — it is a serious infection that cannot be treated at home.  Tetanus symptoms can appear anytime from a few days to several weeks after the bacteria enter your body — often through a puncture wound of the foot, such as stepping on a contaminated nail. The doctor will rely on a physical exam, as well as a medical and immunization history, to diagnose tetanus. No lab or blood tests are helpful to detect tetanus. Diseases that cause similar symptoms to tetanus that your doctor will want to rule out include meningitis, rabies and strychnine poisoning. The medical staff will need to clean the wound as well, removing any debris, dead tissue, and foreign objects. Depending on the time between your injury and when you start to show obvious symptoms, your doctor may give you a tetanus antitoxin injection, such as tetanus immune globulin. This is not a cure, however, and can only neutralize "free" toxins that have not bonded to nerve tissue. Any toxins that have already bonded to nerve tissue will not be affected.  As such, time is of the essence. The sooner you get to the doctor (once you notice symptoms) the more effective the immunoglobulin will be in preventing the severity of symptoms. You will be given a dose of 3000 to 6000 units intramuscularly as soon as the diagnosis of tetanus is made. In countries in which IG is not available, equine antitoxin is used. Don't wait for symptoms. If you get a deep injury (such as a puncture wound) from something sharp that appears contaminated with soil, rust, feces or other debris, then clean the wound and get a tetanus shot shot from your doctor or an urgent care clinic as a preventative strategy. Antibiotics kill bacteria, including C. tetani, but the problem with tetanus has more to do...

Article in English: In addition to the LED light kit, you'll need additional electrical wire, preferably in two different colors to help you differentiate the positive and negative battery connections. The job will also require velcro strips (or a permanent adhesive if you prefer), additional 18- or 20-gauge electrical wire, sandpaper, pliers, screwdrivers, soldering equipment (or soldering gel), wire terminal connectors, electrical tape, and an in-line fuse. Test the strip by attaching the positive lead wire to the positive terminal  on a battery and connecting the negative lead wire to the negative side of the battery terminal. Make sure that each individual strip fully lights.  Your LED kit may come with a battery you can use to test the LED strips. If not, you can use your motorcycle's battery to test them. Just make sure you disconnect it from the motorcycle first. You can even use a spare nine-volt battery you have around to test the strips.  As you're testing the strips, separate all of the same-size strips into different piles. This will make it easier to use them later. It's a good idea to disconnect the motorcycle's battery now even if you don't need to use it to test the LED strips. In most models of motorcycle, you will find the battery located beneath the seat. By disconnecting the battery, you can test your LED light strips without worry of harming the other motorcycle components that it powers. Your specific LED kit may come with instructions for where to mount your lights, but if not, use painter's tape to temporarily attach them to the motorcycle. Try a couple of designs and make sure that you have enough strips to complete the design you want. Make sure you're using masking tape since it won't hurt the paint on your motorcycle at all when you peel it back off. Your LED kit will come with a switch, which should have three leads on the back—positive, negative, and ground. Pick a comfortable location where you will later mount the switch.

Article in English: In addition to the visual effect of the decorations, it's important to create a good atmosphere through sound and smell.  Soft, soothing music is usually best for a baby shower. Classical music is always a good option, though certain types of country music can also work. You can even buy or download CD's containing music specifically chosen for baby showers on Amazon. However, you could also match the music to the theme of the shower. For example, you could play the soundtrack from a movie for a movie-themed shower. Or instead of music you could play sound effects, such as animal sounds for a jungle themed part or the sound of waves and seagulls for a beach themed part. You can create pleasant smells by burning scented candles or incense, or using oil-based diffusers or air-fresheners. Again, try to match the scent to theme of the party, whether it's the smell of exotic flowers, the seaside breeze or freshly washed cotton sheets. Party favors are small gifts you can send home with your guests to thank them for coming. These gifts can be anything you like, though how fancy/expensive they are will depend on your budget and how many guests will be attending the shower.  If you're looking for a more personalized, DIY approach to party favors, you should start collecting mason jars before the shower. Then you can fill each jar with a selection of chocolates (preferably ones that are wrapped in pink or blue foil), wrap a colored ribbon around the lid and attach a label with the guest's name written in calligraphy or cursive script. As an alternative to chocolates, you could fill the mason jars with colored bath salts. This makes a nice gift, but the jars will also look pretty laid out on the table during the shower. Another idea is to get each guest a fancy bar of soap, wrap a ribbon around it and attach a note that says "From our shower to yours". This is a cute play on the word "shower" which is sure to have guests oohing and aahing in appreciation. A nice way to add to the baby-centric theme of the party is to...

Article in English: In addition to the wine ingredients, you'll need a few basic supplies to ensure that your wine can age without being affected by bugs or bacteria. Home winemaking shouldn't be expensive, so it's not necessary to splurge on special equipment. You will need the following supplies:  A 2 gallon (7.6 L) crock or glass jar (you can often find these at vintage or secondhand stores, however, be advised that many used crocks may have been used for sauerkraut or pickles and could contaminate your wine. A 1 gallon (3.8 L) carboy (a glass container with a small neck) An airlock A thin plastic tube to be used for siphoning Clean wine bottles with corks or screw caps Campden tablets (optional) Wine can be made with any type of fruit, though grapes and berries are the most popular choices. Choose fruit at the peak of its flavor. It's best to choose organic fruit that hasn't been treated with chemicals, since you don't want these to end up in your wine. If possible, use fruit you've picked yourself or buy some from a farmer's market. Some retailers also specialize in providing wine grapes to home winemakers (for example, Wine Grapes Direct), which is great if you do not live near vineyards. Take off the stems and leaves, and make sure the fruit doesn't have particles of dirt or grit. Rinse the fruit thoroughly and place it in your crock.  You can peel the fruit before crushing, but much of the flavor of the wine will come from its skin. Peeling it will result in a much milder wine. Some winemakers choose not to wash the fruit before crushing. Since fruit has natural yeasts on its skin, it's possible to make wine using only the yeast from the fruit's skin and the air. However, washing the fruit and controlling the yeast you add allows you to ensure that the flavor of the wine will be to your liking; allowing wild yeast to grow can produce foul flavors. If you're up for an experiment, you could make two batches of wine, one with controlled yeast and one with wild, to find out which you like best. Using a clean potato masher or...

One commonly prescribed medication for psoriasis is methotrexate. This is an anti-inflammatory medication that is taken either in pill form or as an injection. Most patients take it weekly in tablet form.  Do not use methotrexate if you are pregnant or trying to conceive. Methotrexate can seriously harm a developing fetus, and can also damage sperm cells. Long-term use of methotrexate can damage your liver. Do not use methotrexate if you have liver disease, and never use it in combination with alcohol. This is a drug that suppresses the immune system and reduces the inflammation associated with psoriasis. It is usually taken daily in pill form. Cyclosporine can cause kidney damage and may increase your risk of infectious diseases and cancer. It should only be taken under your doctor's close supervision, over a relatively short period of time. Your blood pressure and kidney function should be monitored while you are on this medication. Oral retinoids, like acitretin, may be effective against severe psoriasis that does not respond to other types of treatment. However, retinoids can cause unpleasant side effects, such as cracked and inflamed lips, hair loss, or (in rare cases) liver damage. They are also extremely harmful to a developing fetus.  If you are planning to become pregnant, you must wait at least three years after taking an oral retinoid before trying to conceive. Oral retinoids have not been shown to cause mutations in sperm cells, so it is safe to try to father a child while taking retinoids. These medications are made from natural materials, such as plants or microorganisms, and are sometimes known as biological response modifiers or targeted therapies. They interact with specific parts of the immune system, stopping it from attacking the skin and causing inflammation. While these medications can be effective against severe or stubborn psoriasis, they can also put you...

Article in English: In addition to understanding gem identification, appraisers need to know valuation theory so that they can appraise the jewelry according to the intended use of appraisal documents. Look for professional certification and continuing education to show that the appraiser is keeping his or her skills current. If the appraiser claims to be certified by the American Society of Appraisers, then double-check the certification by calling the organization or by checking the organization’s website. Also called liability insurance, errors and omissions protects the appraiser in case an error is made on your appraisal so that you can be compensated appropriately.

Article in English: In addition to using birth control, you can help avoid a teen pregnancy by learning as much as you can about safe sex. Your doctor is a great place to start gathering information. If you are considering starting a sexual relationship, ask your doctor about the best birth control method for you and your partner.  Ask questions such as, “What do you recommend as the best method to prevent pregnancy?” and “How can I keep from getting an STI?” Be completely honest with your doctor about your sexual history. They won't judge you. Females might want to visit an OB/GYN for a more specialized consultation. There are many myths about sex that you might have heard. Educate yourself so that you know what is true and what's not. If you've heard some myths, ask your doctor whether or not they are true. Some common myths include the idea that a girl can't get pregnant if she is having her period or if it is her first time having intercourse. These are not true! Get your information from credible organizations such as Planned Parenthood or the health center at your school or workplace. You can tell if information is reliable if it uses sources (such as doctors or medical journals) and is written by a professional, such as a doctor or nurse.  Visit your local or school library. The librarian can direct you towards some good sources on safe sex. You could also track down books like: Safe Sex 101: An Overview for Teens by Margaret O'Hyde or Sex: A Book for Teens: An Uncensored Guide to Your Body, Sex, and Safety by Nikol Hasler. If you are having sex or thinking about it, make sure that you and your partner are practicing healthy communication. Talk to one another about what type of birth control you'll use and what you would do if a pregnancy did occur. Make sure you are open and honest with one another. Don't be afraid to voice any concerns you might have.  You could say something like, "We've been talking a lot about having sex. I wanted to know how you would react if I accidentally became pregnant." Remember, it is your...

Article in English: In addition to using fresh tomatoes, you can also buy skin care products that utilize them as a featured ingredient. The next time you are at a drugstore, take some time to browse the health section. Look for skin care products that feature ingredients such as tomatoes. These can help tone and clear your skin. If your acne is severe, you might want to ask your dermatologist to recommend some new skin care products. There are some very affordable products that can help ease your acne. In addition to buying products, there are several at home methods you can use to treat your skin. For example, you can use lemon juice as an astringent. Simply squeeze a small amount onto a cotton ball and wipe it across your blemish. The acid will help try the blemish out.  Egg whites are another common kitchen staple that you can use to treat your skin. Simply apply egg whites to your problem areas, then wipe off after 10 minutes.

Article in English: In addition to using warm liquids to soothe your throat, you should also drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water will make it easier to swallow and will also help you to fight off the infection. When you have an infection, your body needs lots of rest in order to heal itself. Make sure that you get plenty of sleep at night and rest during the day as well. Do not over-exert yourself when you are dealing with a severe sore throat. Stay home from work or school if possible. While you are suffering from a severe sore throat with pus pockets, you should avoid any foods that may irritate your throat further like spicy foods or acidic foods. Choose easy to swallow foods like applesauce, oatmeal, soups, mashed potatoes, yogurt, and cooked eggs. You may also get some additional relief from popsicles or ice cream. While you are recovering, do not smoke, inhale any fumes, or use harsh cleaning products. These things may make the pus pockets in your throat worse and extend the amount of time that it takes you to recover from the infection.

Article in English: In addition to washing your face and body, moisturizing your skin should be a part of your daily regimen. Use toner on your face to remove any excess oil or dirt, and follow up with a gentle moisturizer. You should also use a moisturizing lotion on your hands and any other parts of your body that are prone to dry, itchy skin.  Choose a moisturizer that works best for your skin type: dry, regular, or oily. Make moisturizing a part of your daily routine at least once or twice each day. The circles under your eyes can make you look tired, old, and worn out. The good news is you can treat those dark circles for healthier, younger-looking skin.  Place cool, moist tea bags over your eyelids. This can help reduce darkness and puffiness in your skin. Use a specialized cream for dark under-eye circles. Look for a cream that contains caffeine, which reduces puffiness, as well as retinol and vitamins C and E. If all else fails, you can always use a tiny bit of concealer under your eyes. Choose a color that matches your skin tone to effectively cover up dark circles for a brighter, younger-looking complexion. The sun can cause tremendous damage to your skin, leaving you burnt and tender. After many years of overexposure to the sun, your skin can prematurely develop wrinkles, age spots, and an increased risk of skin cancer. One of the best ways to care for your skin over the long-term is to prevent unnecessary exposure to the sun's harmful U.V. rays.  Use broad-spectrum sunscreen. Make sure it has an SPF of 15 or higher, and reapply it at least every two hours. Try to avoid being in direct sunlight between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, when U.V. rays are the strongest. Wear tightly-woven clothing that protects against ultraviolet rays. Opt for long sleeves and pants, and try to wear a wide-brimmed hat when you'll be spending a lot of time outdoors. . Smoking is a significant contributor to prematurely aged skin. In addition to the health risks associated with smoking, daily exposure to cigarette smoke can decrease blood flow,...

Article in English: In addition to wearing your sling during the day, consider also wearing it at night, at least for a few weeks. Keeping your arm in a sling while in bed can help your shoulder remain stable while sleeping. With an arm sling snugly holding your shoulder in place and supporting it, you won’t have to worry about your arm moving and creating pain around while you're asleep.  Even when wearing an arm sling in bed, don't sleep on your sore shoulder because the compression can trigger pain and inflammation, which could wake you up. Wear a thin t-shirt under the arm sling while in bed so the skin around your neck and upper body doesn't get irritated. The best position for most people with shoulder surgeries to sleep in is in a reclined position because it puts less strain on the shoulder joint and surrounding soft tissues. To get into a reclined position while in bed, bolster your lower back and mid back with a few pillows. Alternatively, try sleeping in a reclining chair (Lay-Z-Boy style) if you have one — it might be more comfortable than propping yourself up in bed with pillows.  Avoid lying flat on your back as that position is often the most irritating to post-operative shoulders.  As your shoulder soreness / stiffness subsides with time, you can slowly lower yourself into a flatter (more horizontal) position gradually if it feels comfortable during the night. In terms of time frame, you'll most likely need to sleep in a semi-reclined position for 6 weeks or more depending on the type of surgery you had. While you're in bed and in a reclined position, prop up your injured arm with a medium-sized pillow placed under your elbow and hand — you can do this with or without a sling on. Doing so puts your shoulder in a position that encourages good blood flow to the joint and surrounding muscles, which is important for healing. Make sure to keep your elbow bent and the pillow snug underneath your armpit.  Alternatives to pillows include cushions and rolled up blankets or towels. As long as it comfortably elevates your...

Article in English: In addition to your personal resolutions, it is helpful to strive to get out of your comfort zone at least 1 time each month. You can schedule 1 new thing each month, or you can pick a few things and choose when the time comes. Regardless, choose to do something you’ve never done before or learn about something brand-new to expand your horizons and grow as a person.  Trying a new thing can be as simple as eating a cuisine you’ve never tried before. You can do active things like going kayaking, horseback riding, or skydiving. Other ideas include taking a language class, joining a yoga studio, or planning a camping trip. Shortly into the beginning of the year, sit down with a notebook and write out several things you want to do throughout the year. Choose simple, easy things such as “eat more vegetables” or specific, realistic goals like “Go back to college.” Add as many items to your list as you feel compelled, and check them off as you complete them throughout the year. The list provides a visual reference, helpful when trying to set goals.  You can use this list to help get ideas of new things to try each month. Ideas for your bucket list could include visiting New York City, picking your own pumpkin, adopting a dog, taking a cooking class, and traveling to the beach. Shortly into the new year, open up your resume, read it over, and look for ways to improve it. For instance, if you started a new job at the end of the year, add it under your “Employment” section. You can also update the dates to reflect the new year. This way, if you want to apply for a job, you are ready when the time comes. You can also update your contact information or address. When the new year rolls in, getting more meaningful and restful sleep is a great goal to add to your resolution list. You can aim to relax more before you go to sleep, such as taking a bath, drinking chamomile tea, and reading a book. You can also go to sleep and wake up around the same time each day to get into a natural rhythm. Improving your sleep will, in turn,...

Article in English: In addition to your weekly or monthly allowance, ask your parents if you can do extra work for even more money. Make sure to discuss the specifics!  Negotiate an acceptable price for the both of you. But keep in mind your limits -- if mowing the lawn is $10 a time, that doesn't mean you can mow it 3 times a day. Get paid for cleaning the yard. This can mean raking leaves, picking up trash, or getting rid of useless stuff in the yard. Wash your parents' cars. They'll be happy to pay you to do this instead of springing for a car wash. However, you will have to invest some money for cleaning supplies, such as a sponge and a bucket. Clean the entire house. You can offer to clean the house in preparation for a party, or just do it on the spur of the moment. However, if you don't discuss it with your parents in advance, you risk not getting paid for it. On the other hand, you could get paid extra for doing such a nice thing for your folks! Sure, this one seems a bit far-fetched, but it's doable and, in fact, it's been done before. You don't have to write a Greek classic -- you just have to write a book. Yes, your parents will have to help you get it printed and published, but that's just red tape and paperwork. Once your book is published, your friends, families, and neighbors will surely want to get their hands on a copy. And who knows? Maybe it'll be a hit! If you have a keen eye for prices and things that are "hot," this may be a decent option for you. If you have anything right now that you don't use but someone else might, that's money. If you don't, get on the look out.  Start getting shopper-savvy. If you see a deal, go for it! That NetBook is on sale for $85? You can sell it online for twice that after Black Friday. It does take a certain amount of money from the get-go, but it will get you a profit in the long run. Again, you'll need the help of a parent. To have an eBay account, you need to be 18 years or older. Ask your parents if they'll assist you with this. They'll probably be in awe of your business...

Article in English: In addition, most people will remember what they did under hypnosis, so even if you can get them to pretend they are a chicken, they won't be happy. Hypnosis, however, has many therapeutic benefits outside of a cheesy Las Vegas show. Help your subject relax and let go of their problems or worries instead of trying to play a practical joke. Even well-intentioned suggestions can have bad results if you don't know what you are doing. This is why licensed hypnotherapists usually help the patient determine the right course of action instead of trying to give it to them as a suggestion. Hypnosis reduces anxiety, no matter what your suggestions are, so don't feel like you need to "fix" anyone. Simply putting someone in a trance state is a fantastic way to lower stress levels and anxiety. The act of deep relaxation, without trying to "solve" anything, is so rare in daily life that it can put problems and worries in perspective all by itself. Instead of telling someone how to fix an issue, have them imagine themselves already succeeding. What does success look and feel like to them? How did they get there? What is their preferred future? What has changed to get them there? While you should seek out the advice of a trained mental health professional, hypnotherapy has been used for addiction, pain relief, phobias, self-esteem issues, and more. While you should never try and "fix" someone, hypnosis can be an excellent tool to help someone heal themselves.  Help them envision the world beyond their problems -- imagine them going through a day without smoking, or visualize a moment they are proud of to raise self-esteem. Healing through hypnosis is always easier if they person wants to work on the issue before they enter the trance state. The key benefits of hypnosis are relaxation and time to muse safely on an issue. It is both deep relaxation and focused attention on an issue at the same time. However, hypnosis is not a miracle cure or quick fix, it is simply a way to help people dive deeper into their own mind. This...

Article in English: In addition, wear gloves to protect your skin. It's also a good idea to not wear your Sunday best. Throw on some old clothes or put a smock over clothes you want protected. Some of this stuff is dangerous -- this experiment is not meant for children! Listen up, kids: You'll be working with a solution that's near a 12 on the pH scale. That basically means don't swallow it, don't put it in your eyes, don't bathe in it, and don't really expose yourself to it directly at all. Got it? Moving on. A ceramic bowl will work best, but plastic works too. Use funnels, measuring tubes, and basters to keep everything well-measured and well away from you. Hydrogen peroxide is used to replace the luminol's nitrogen atoms with oxygen. When that happens, all the substances create a rave and start partying and electrons fly everywhere and what results? The glow. It is important not to touch the luminol. Use a funnel to make everything safe and easy. Unfortunately, these hazardous chemicals will not float freely in mid-air like this graphic suggests.  Yep, unless you're a coroner or some sort of crazy spy/criminologist you probably don't have this stuff lying around the house (hopefully not...). If you're dead set on starting your own glowstick business (worse ideas exist), try websites like Alfa Aesar or Sigma Aldrich for supplies. Mix everything well. Don't use your hands -- use a metal or plastic utensil of some sort. It's important to use sanitary, clean tubes for your glowsticks. The last thing you want is other substances interacting with the reactions you're depending on to make the substances glow. This enables you to seal the containers quickly after filling. It's not like the glow will get up and run away from you, but still. Shake them up once the lids are on tightly. Then turn off the lights! If it's not already glowing, something went wrong. Do over! Take your glowsticks to the party and charge your friends loads of money for them! But act quickly...the glow won't last very long. Expectations crushed? Method two to...

Article in English: In all of its uses, then is used when you want to talk about a point in time or sequence of events. If someone is asking when something happened, then is the appropriate word for your response.  For example, if your teacher asks you where you were at noon yesterday, you could respond, “I was at lunch then.” If someone asks when something will be ready, you could let them know to, “Come back tomorrow afternoon. I will have everything ready by then.” Another common use for then is to indicate sequential items. Use then to tell someone what comes next in time, space, or order. Some examples of these uses include:  We are going to leave at 9, and then we stop for lunch around 11. First, you line up part A and part B. Then, you screw them together. The inner planets go Mercury, Venus, Earth, and then Mars. Then can also be used to mean "in addition," "moreover," or "in that case." Use then when you need to add additional information to your sentence, or to modify outcomes based on conditions.  If you’re adding additional information you might say, “The dinner costs $20, and then you have to add the tip.” To express conditional information you may say, “If the weather is good, then we will go to the beach tomorrow.” In some special cases, then can be used as an adjective to indicate something that was true at the time, even if it isn't so anymore. You may hear then used this way often with people like politicians who once held a position, but no longer do.  For example, “That program was instituted in 2010 by then President Barack Obama.” This use isn’t limited to just people, though. You could also say something like, “The historian wrote about the then thriving state of Rome.”

Article in English: In all relationships, communication is key. Many fights and misunderstandings stem from a lack of communication. Going forward, it's important to be 100% honest about your actions and feelings in your friendship.  If an issue arises in the future, make it clear that you'd like to resolve those issues by talking with each other instead of talking to other people or doing something that either of you may regret. Bring issues up immediately instead of bottling up your feelings. When we suppress feelings and emotions, we are more likely to boil over and say or do something we regret. If a problem arises, address it right away. It is important to know what you and your friend expect out of a friendship in order for it to work. For example, you may deal with situations differently, or some things may bother you more than others. This is why you must establish expectations.  Tell your friend what you need from them in a friendship. Being honest will help your friend to better meet your needs. Explain to your friend what you need from them using the "I-message" formula: "I feel _____ when you _______ and I need for you to _______." Refrain from assigning blame to your friend, though. Ask your friend what they need from you in a friendship. Again, friendship is a two-way street. Therefore, you need to meet your friends needs as well. Ask them to be honest about how you can be a better friend to them. Be ready to meet both needs. Resolution begins when you start understanding each other and the situation. As you hear similar needs from each other, the differences are put aside and you are able to work things through. It's impossible to move forward if you are unable to forgive. Holding onto anger or grudges isn't healthy for you and will ruin any chance you have of a real friendship. It takes a lot of strength to forgive, but it will help you grow as a person and as a friend.  Tell your friend that you forgive them – it is an important factor in rebuilding trust for both of you. It will mean a lot to your friend to...

Summary in Russian:

Научитесь лучше общаться с другом. Определите ожидания от дружбы. Научитесь прощать.


Article in English: In all too many situations, we end up acting like everyone else or doing what everyone else is doing in order to fit in. This happens especially in high-pressure situations like a party where you don't know any one or a business meeting where you feel expected to impress. Usually our desire for social acceptance outweighs our desire to be our real selves. However, this defeats the practice of being real. At its core, being real means being yourself and saying and doing things that reflect who you are as a person.  Pretending to be someone or something your not just to fit in with others only promotes that sense of fakery that you're trying to fight against. Moreover, it's important to note that most people find they end up with more and closer friends when they are themselves and that they achieve more success when they stick to the things they like to do. You find truer satisfaction in your social circle and career when you fit those things to who you are not the other way around. Peer pressure can be a very real and dangerous phenomenon. Remember there are many harmful things that people have done to themselves and to others (from smoking to bullying to genocide) simply because they cared so much about the opinions of others and felt that their reputations would be harmed if they didn't. Don't do anything you don't want to do. Remember that at the end of the day, only you have to live with yourself all the time. Listen to and follow your inner spirit. Toxic people are those people who masquerade as "friends" who pressure you to do things you don't want to do (like drink alcohol, make fun of others, or skip out on work) or who make you feel guilty or shameful for who you are. For example, if you have friends who make fun of you for wearing black all the time and for not dressing like a 'proper girl', this is not healthy for you. Your friends should make you feel positive about yourself and help make you your best self, not tear you down for not conforming. When you don't want to do something that other...

Article in English: In almost all dubstep songs, there is a sub-base (where the music itself seems to vibrate) -- the music changes from accenting 1, 2, 3, 4 to 1 and a 2 and a 3 and a 4 quite clearly. When you hear this, it's appropriate vibrating time.  Bend your knees into a slight squatting position. Release them back up mostly, so that you are moving your body slightly up and down. You're basically shaking with conviction ever so slightly. Do this quickly and subtly. You want to minimize your movement but increase your speed as to have your body sort of vibrate, not jerk around. Do it even lighter with your arms and hands. If your appendages move too much, you'll look like a T-rex running from a meteor. Dubstep music goes from very fast and choppy to slow and smooth. When you're transitioning, hit a split second dead stop. You'll be doing your robot thang, BAM, and into your slow-motion groove. The stop should be barely perceptible -- in fact, only you should know you hit it -- but it will accentuate the transition. This will generally always be on the downbeat. There will be a very clear point where your fast movements die and slow motion should take over. Which brings us to... Everyone can move slowly. Most of us do. But in order to do slow motion and look like you're actually in slow motion, you have to stay alert to every part of your body. Your eyes must blink slower, your feet must hit the ground at slower angles, and you even have to swallow slower. It's easy to get your core down, but following through with your feet will probably be the hardest part. Once the tip hits the ground, it's tempting to put all your weight down. Ultimately, this is a balance issue that you will get better at with time. A common sound in dubstep sounds, quite frankly, glitchy. It's akin to a broken record or a scratched CD when a certain beat is repeated over and over. When that happens, small twitches go from normal, everyday movements, to quite visually interesting shifts.  Start with just your head. Twitch it back and forth along with...

Article in English: In almost all kinds of songwriting, the melody happens before the lyrics. Most of the time, rappers will similarly develop the beat and become familiar with the music before attempting to write any lyrics. While a rapper might have a stockpile of rhymes built up in notebooks to jump off from, crafting a song requires a beat to rhyme to. Doing this will ensure that the song feels unforced and the music matches the words.  Find a producer online who makes beats and listen to several of them until you find some you like. Commission particular sounds or styles from the producer to get an original track. If you like samurai samples and old-school comic book references like the Wu-Tang Clan, send the beatmaker some examples. Even if you have a kind of idea forming for a kind of song or topic you'd like, try to come up with at least three possible beats before settling on one. Matching content, words, and music is a complicated process. Don't rush it. You can do this on your own computer or sound equipment, or even just by recording yourself beatboxing for inspiration.  Start by sampling the break from an R&B or soul song you really like. The Meters were a relatively obscure New Orleans funk band from the late 60s, who became famous after being heavily sampled as the tracks for great rap songs. Chop the beat using GarageBand or other free software on your computer. Create beats with a programmable drum machine. The Roland TR-808 is the most iconic drum machine, used in many classic hip-hop and rap tracks. It features a wide variety of bass kicks, hi-hats, hand claps, and other percussive sounds that you can program in different patterns. You can also process and manipulate these beats on your computer. Add the melody using bass tones on a synth or keyboard, or by sampling a melodic line from a pre-existing song. Listen to the song repeatedly until the melody starts to reveal itself. Listen to it from different angles and come up with different melodic possibilities. This will help you to find the hook as you begin...

Article in English: In an actual game of basketball, obviously, you won't be able to shoot easy, direct jump shots from the free throw line or the wings all the time — it's the defense's job to prevent this. To begin to increase your versatility as a shooter, start to shoot from all over the court. You'll soon find that some shooting positions are much easier than others, but you'll only be an effective shooter if you're able to start hitting shots from all around the hoop, so practice these tricky shots! In general, you'll want to eventually be able to hit shots from anywhere inside the three point line and, ideally, just beyond it. You'll almost never be expected to shoot from more than a few feet behind the three point line during a game, so you don't have to worry as much about shooting these long-bomb shots. In order to shoot longer shots, jump forward further and turn more. This will give you more power. Most of the time, the defense will try to deny you a direct, easy path to the basket. For this reason, you'll usually be shooting at the basket not from head-on, but from an angle. From angled positions, it's trickier to get a "swish" than when shooting from head-on, so most players try to bounce their shots off of the backboard. This slows the ball and angles it down into the basket, increasing the likelihood of an angled shot going in. Believe it or not, there has been actual scientific research done on this aspect of shooting a jump shot. The results indicate that the best angled shots tend to hit the backboard at a spot in the top middle section of the square behind the hoop. As the angle of the shot becomes more pronounced (that is, as a player shoots from further to one side), the "ideal" backboard spot moves up and away from this central point in a diagonal direction (in other words, someone shooting from the right side of the hoop should try to hit the backboard above and to the right of the top middle of the square). When you do get a chance to make a shot from straight in front of the basket, research shows that...

Article in English: In any number, the different digits represent different amounts. For instance, in the number 1,872, the "1" represents thousands, the "8" represents hundreds, the "7" represents tens, and the "2" represents ones. When there is a decimal point in a number, the numbers to the right of the point represent fractions of one.  The places to the right of the decimal point have names that mirror the names of the whole number decimal places. The first number to the right of the decimal point represents tenths, the second represents hundredths, the third represents thousandths, and so on for ten-thousandths, etc.  For example, in the number 2.37589, "2" is the number of ones, "3" is the number of tenths, "7" is the number of hundredths, "5" is the number of thousandths, "8" is the number of ten-thousandths, and "9" is the number of hundred-thousandths. The first step to rounding a decimal is to determine which decimal place you're going to round it to. If you're doing schoolwork, this information is usually given to you — often, the problem will say something like, "round the answer to the nearest tenth/hundredth/thousandth."  For example, if you are asked to round to the nearest thousandth in the number 12.9889, you would start by finding the thousandths place. Counting from the decimal point, the spaces to the right represent tenths, hundredths, thousandths, and ten-thousandths, so the second "8" (12.9889) is the one you want. Sometimes, instructions will tell you exactly which decimal place to round to (e.g., "round to the third decimal place" means the same thing as "round to the nearest thousandth"). Now, find the decimal place to the right of the place you're rounding to. Based on the number in this place, you'll round either up or down. In our example number (12.9889), you're rounding to the thousandths place (12.9889), so now look at the number to the right of this, which is the final "9" (12.9889). To be clear: if the place you're rounding to is followed by a 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round it up. In other words, make...

Article in English: In any relationship, every participant should know what the expectations are in order to avoid feelings of being used or neglected.  If you're dating someone, it is important that both partners are on the same page when it comes to issues like how often you will see each other, how often you'll talk or text, how physically intimate you will be, and whether or not you will date other people. In marriage and work relationships, it is important to understand each person's role and responsibilities to avoid feelings of resentment or confusion. Every relationship can be improved just by improving communication. Unfortunately, most people don't learn how to communicate effectively as they grow up, so it can be difficult to have important conversations or stand up for yourself if you don't make a concerted effort to learn the basics of effective communication.  In a relationship, you should approach conflict and disagreement with the perspective that you are a team. Instead of viewing a disagreement as your chance to prove a point or win an argument, try to think of it as a challenge to come up with a mutually-beneficial solution. Don't sit on negative feelings for too long without expressing them to your partner. Otherwise, you could become resentful.  If you find yourself angry or sad about the relationship, think about why you're feeling that way and then talk to your partner about it. Let them know how you feel and what you think could help. We are often taught to put other people before our own needs, and being selfless in a relationship can be a great feature. However, you should not sacrifice your own needs or happiness to satisfy someone else. You'll end up burned out and disappointed.  Take time for yourself to recharge when you need to. It's ok to have a night out with just your friends, or take an evening to read by yourself when you want to. Don't be afraid to tell your partner what your needs are. Relationships of all kinds should make you feel good about yourself and happy that you know the other...

Article in English: In any relationship, it's important your wants and needs are met to some degree. When you're a narcissistic extension, however, your wants and needs will consistently fall to the wayside.  Think about what you need and want and whether it's consistently sacrificed. Do you feel like the other person is willing or able to meet certain needs, or allow you to pursue your own interests? A narcissist will only be able to see their needs and wants, and often expect them to be met even if it's unreasonable or interferes with your own needs and wants. They are good at manipulating others, so if you confront them with your feelings, they're likely to get hostile instead of apologizing and changing. For example, you're extroverted by nature and like to go out on the weekends. Your boyfriend gets nervous at big parties, and expects you to stay by his side the whole time, even when he refuses to socialize with others. When you express the fact your need for socialization isn't met, he insists you instead meet his need for attention and reassurance. Rather than working towards a compromise, a narcissistic boyfriend will instead continue to put his needs first, regardless of whether it's reasonable. Being a narcissistic extension is draining. If you're in a relationship with a narcissist, they will take up a lot of your time and energy. Consider whether you have time for yourself. Are you allowed to pursue your own hobbies and interests? Do you have separate relationships with family members and friends? If not, you may be a narcissistic extension. A narcissist will not see you as a separate entity, with your own ideas and opinions. They will only see you as a reflection of them and their values. Therefore, you will not have a lot of energy to focus on anything but them.  A narcissist will constantly pressure you to make them happy and content. You will find yourself trying to meet unreasonable needs a lot, and many of your daily decisions will revolve around keeping the narcissist happy. If you consider your own feelings,...

Article in English: In any story, you'll want to let the reader know who is involved, where the story takes place, and some hint of what the story is all about. This is true of funny stories as well, but with the added element of humor. Don't leave your readers guessing at anything for long, or they may not continue to read your story.  The beginning of any short story should establish the setting and at least one character. Describe where the action is taking place, but try to make that description relevant. Find ways to draw tension and/or humor from the setting as much as possible. Think about how and when the humorous elements of your story will unfold, and try to at least hint at them from the onset of the story. Remember that a short story's beginning should set something up, whether it's tension, a source of humor within the story, or something that will be vital to the story at a later point. The middle of a story is where things typically get complex. In a short, funny story, the middle should also provide a decent amount of humor, or at least a strong setup for something funny that is yet to come in the story.  Your story's middle section will probably be the longest. Make your words count by making things get interesting for one or more characters in this section. Tension should complicate the lives of your most important characters and form the basic arc of your story.  Tension often arises from conflict, usually between the protagonist and another person, himself/herself, nature, technology, society, or God/gods/goddesses. You may want to incorporate humor that's derived from the tension, or you may choose to deliver humor as a sort of comic relief that accompanies the tension so that it doesn't get too serious. When writing in short form, you won't have a lot of space on the page for long, drawn-out resolutions. Things need to get wrapped up in a timely manner, and the humor should really come through at this point (especially if you used the middle section to build up the humor).  Tension should unravel fairly...

Article in English: In areas not used to grow other crops, you can apply tebuthiuron (Spike) to your soil. This can kill blackberry bushes, but may also harm other surrounding vegetation.  Place tebuthiuron pellets to the base of blackberry plants to control their growth long-term.  Be aware that tebuthiuron is toxic not only to vegetation, but can also be to mammals, too. It is also water soluble, so it can easily contaminate ground water. Wear protective clothing when you apply tebuthiuron to minimize your exposure to the pesticide.  Make sure to check and see if it is legal to use tebuthiuron where you live. It has been banned in Europe since 2002 because if its toxicity. One of the most effective ways to kill blackberries is by applying an herbicide directly to the plant while it is actively growing. This allows it to get into the plant’s structure and kill rhizomes, thus deterring regrowth.  Use foliar-based herbicides, which you apply to the part of the plant visible above the ground, in early summer or at the start of the growing season when their tissue is rapidly expanding.  Spray herbicides such as glyphosate, dicamba, or triclopyr on the blackberry bush. You can purchase these at many home improvement and hardware stores. Be careful when mixing and applying these chemicals because they can kill other plants. Make sure to avoid contact with your skin as well. Since the bark at the base of the bush helps transport the nutrients needed for the plant to survive, treat it with an herbicide. This can help kill the bush at any time of year and also minimize contact with chemicals.  Use a concentrated form of triclopyr to treat the basal bark.  Spray the solution directly at base of the bush directly on the bark.  Cover about 6-12 inches of the basal bark with spray, depending on how large the plant is. Make sure to not oversaturate the bark with the solution, which can cause toxic runoff. An alternative way to administer triclopyr is to spray the dormant stems and leaves of your blackberry bush. This can also kill the plant...

Article in English: In autumn, the sycamore produces a small, woody ball on a long stem, which is its fruit. The American sycamore produces these as single, pendulum-like growths, while non-native hybrid relatives may have two or three of these hanging from one stalk. Sycamore seeds are arranged in V-shaped pairs that are often nicknamed helicopters because of the way they swirl and spin when they fall from the tree. This allows the tree a larger area of seed dispersal since they can flutter farther away. Look for them in clusters at the end of twigs, or on the ground beneath the tree. Sycamores have both male and female flowers on the same tree, though they grow on different stalks. They have a white stamen and very small, thin petals, which are a light green or yellow.

Article in English: In basic terms, omega-3 is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is essential to numerous functions throughout the body.  It aids in brain development and functioning, and has overall anti-inflammatory properties.  It helps lubricate your arteries to inhibit plaque buildup and can help treat or prevent conditions including heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, diabetes, and arrhythmia. The current recommended intake of omega-3 for women is 1.1 g / day, and 1.6 g / day for men.  However, increased levels of 2-3 g / day seem to have additional benefits. The average amount of omega-3 in a variety of fish depends upon its physiology, diet, and environment.  Fish that consume algae (or other fish that eat it), which is high in DHA (a component of omega-3), and store it in fat needed as insulation from cold waters, are the best storehouses of omega-3.  All omega-3 amounts listed below refer to a standard 6 ounce serving. wild salmon -- 3.2 g anchovies -- 3.4 g Pacific sardines -- 2.8 g Pacific mackerel -- 3.2 g Atlantic mackerel -- 2.0 g whitefish -- 3.0 g bluefin tuna -- 2.8 g rainbow trout -- 2.0 g You should strive to eat 8-12 oz of high omega-3 fish a week. Adding in a variety of seafood will contribute additional omega-3 and help keep your dining experience from becoming too predictable and dull. Depending on calorie needs, one serving can be 4-6 oz.  canned albacore tuna in water -- 1.4 g Blue crab or Alaskan King crab -- 0.8 g halibut -- 1.0 g shrimp or scallops -- 0.6 g ocean perch or cod -- 0.4 g lobster -- 0.2 g You are what you eat, and so are fish.  (They also “are” where they live.)  Fish that grow in a cleaner, healthier environment and are caught and prepared with care provide omega-3 without bringing along as many undesirable elements like toxins.  Many people also think they taste better, which makes eating more easier.  If possible, buy your fish from someone who can tell you about where it came from and when and how it was caught.  It doesn't have to be a small, specialty shop; that person...

Article in English: In between the  and  tags of your HTML document, insert the following JavaScript code: function blinktext() {  var f = document.getElementById('announcement');  setInterval(function() {    f.style.visibility = (f.style.visibility == 'hidden' ? '' : 'hidden');  }, 1000);} The code above defined a function and named it "blinktext." In order to use this function in your HTML, change the  tag to . This script only affects elements with the id "announcement." Place your blinking text inside any element and give it that id. For example, type
Blinking text here.
 or
Blinking text here.
. You can rename this anything you like. Just make sure to use the same word in the script and the element id. The number "1000" in the script sets the delay between blinks. This is in microseconds, so a value of 1000 makes the text blink once per second. Change this to a lower number to speed up the blinking, or a higher number to slow it down. The actual delay probably won't match this value perfectly. It tends to be slightly shorter, but can take longer if your browser is busy with other requests.

Article in English: In between using a tobacco pipe, the pipe should be allowed to cool thoroughly, and the stem should be cleaned out by running a pipe cleaner through it several times. It's ok, and in fact it's a good thing if the bowl of the pipe is dark and ashy. That's called the "cake" and it helps the tobacco burn in a uniform way. Never empty a tobacco pipe and immediately repack it. The stem will likely be full of wet condensation, which will give you a hot and rattling smoke that won't taste very good. The best and most simple way to pack a pipe is to fill the bowl completely, then use the pipe tamper–a small metal rod with a flat end made for the purpose–to push the tobacco down until it's reduced by about half. If you don't have a tamper, it's perfectly fine to use your thumb, your forefinger, or the blunt end of a lighter. The tamper is nice, but not necessary. Refill the pipe to full and compress the tobacco again by half. The pipe should be roughly 3/4 of the way full, depending on the variety of the tobacco and the springiness of it. If you've got a larger bowl, you might want to add more, but that's probably enough to get started. After packing it in, you're ready to heat up the pipe and get smoking. Draw gently and rhythmically to avoid overheating the pipe or flustering the tobacco. Packing a pipe is an art form that will take some practice, but it also doesn't need to be any more complicated than you want it to be. You don't need fancy equipment or expensive tobacco to pack a good pipe. If your pipes are going out frequently, though, you might have a malfunction in your pipe stem, or you might be packing the pipe too loosely. Experiment some, and ask a tobacconist for help if you're struggling.

Article in English: In business meetings and relationships, you should avoid casual replies and show your sincerity when responding to “thank you.”  Avoid using casual replies in a business setting. For instance, you should avoid phrases like “no problem,” “anytime,” and “it's alright” when replying to a client or customer.  Use a warm and sincere tone when replying to “thank you.”  After the meeting, you can send an email or note that expresses appreciation for your business relationship. This will make the other person remember how helpful you were! When replying to “thank you,” it is best to offer a response that makes them feel that your relationship with them is special and unique.  For instance, you might say, “That's part of the complete commitment to service that you can expect when you do business with me.” Try saying, “That's what good business partners do for one another. Thanks for doing business with us.” If you know anything about the client, you can personalize the message. For example, you can say, "It is always a pleasure working with you. I hope your big presentation goes well next week." ” This is a classic response and keeps things simple. For instance, when a partner says “Thanks for writing the contract,” you can simply say, “you are very welcome.” When dealing with a customer or client, you want to convey your appreciation for their business.  Tell your customer or client, “We appreciate your business.” Use a sincere and warm tone. This tells the customer that you are grateful for their business.  Reply, “I'm happy to help.” This tells the customer that you enjoy your job and are keen to help them. If you are serving a customer in a retail store and they “thank you” for showing them the options for a particular product, you could say, “I'm happy to help.”

Article in English: In case the wax spills while pouring, protect your surface so that clean up is simple and easy. Dried wax is easier to clean up since the large pieces can be picked off and the residue spot-cleaned. Going slow and steady will prevent the wax from cracking when it settles and avoids creating air pockets within the jar. When the candle burns, the top layer of wax will melt and pool around the wick. You don't want the wax to overflow when you first start burning your candle. There can often be a sinkhole of wax that forms around the wick as it begins to set. Simply pour a little more wax into the sunken area and give the jar a light shake to settle the wax evenly. Leave about a quarter of an inch of wick above the top of the candle. If the wick is too long, it will flop over and burn incorrectly. If it is too short, you will have trouble getting it to light and it may drown in the melted top layer of wax.

Article in English: In certain areas, it's the hardest thing to do, but it's the best use of your time. Talking to actual native speakers is the most effective way to improve your English skills, speaking or otherwise. So whether you have to Skype them, call them, or beg them to speak to you, do so. Your progress will be faster this way than any other. Even if they're just tourists, invite them to dinner! They get a meal, you get an English lesson. Advertise on Craigslist. Take a class and get buddy-buddy with your teacher. Offer a language exchange. They're hiding out there somewhere! No, not English music, the music of English -- its lilt, its prosody, the sing-songy-ness of it. The intonation. Even if you speak perfect English technically if you speak it like a robot you're not speaking it the way it's meant to be spoken. Watch people. Watch how their mouths form the words. Watch how emotion is communicated. Watch where the emphasis goes on certain sentences and how that provides context. Apart from just deciphering their words, take notice of the humor, the feeling, and the formality they employ. Above all, if you want to be understood, slow down. The more clearly you speak, the better chance your listener has of understanding you. It's tempting to get nervous and want to speed up to get it all over with, but you can't do that! Clarity is key -- for some native English speakers, too! They will be patient with you -- don't worry! You just gotta be patient with yourself. It's much less frustrating to speak to someone who you understand even though they're speaking slowly than to speak to someone you don't understand at all. Speaking quickly isn't impressive if your tongue gets all jumbly. Though we hear ourselves all the time, we really don't know quite what we sound like. So record yourself! What are the weak and strong points you hear in your speech? And then you can concentrate on what you need to work on.  A great idea is to get a book on tape, record yourself reading an excerpt from it (or mimicking the narrator), and...
