Article in English: Mix a ¼ cup (32 g) to ½ cup (64 g) of baking soda with enough water to form a runny paste. Apply the paste to damp hair and massage it from your scalp to your ends. Then, rinse out the paste using clean water and shampoo.  The baking soda will help neutralize the chlorine and lift out any green color the chlorine deposited. Your hair will feel dry after using baking soda, so follow up with a moisturizing conditioner. If you have very light hair, you may have to repeat this process a few times to fully lift any residual green color. Apple cider vinegar can work like a clarifying shampoo after you swim. Simply pour about a ¼ cup (about 60 ml) of apple cider vinegar over your head while showering. Use your fingers to work it from your scalp to your tips. Then, rinse the vinegar away with clean, warm water.  There is no need to shampoo after using vinegar. If the smell of the vinegar lingers, follow up by using conditioner to get rid of the odor if it bothers you. Apple cider vinegar can be stripping, so it’s not generally advisable to use this treatment intermittently. If you swim regularly, it may be worth investing in a chlorine-removal product. Apply a thin layer of your tomato product to damp hair, working from the scalp to the ends. Allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes before rinsing your hair thoroughly in the shower. Once the water rinses clear, shampoo your hair and follow up with your regular hair care routine.   Use a wide-toothed comb to help evenly distribute the product through your hair. The red color of tomato products is thought to be particularly helpful for neutralizing the green coloring chlorine can leave behind on lighter hair. In a small bowl, mix the juice from one lemon with a splash of club soda.Pour this over damp or dry hair, and comb through with a wide-toothed comb to evenly distribute the product. Let the mixture sit for 3-5 minutes, then rinse your hair thoroughly in the shower. Follow the rinse with your regular shampoo.   You can also add the treatment to a spray bottle and spray it...

Article in English: Mix baking soda with just enough water to turn it into a thick paste. Spread this over the stain. Let it sit until it absorbs all, most, or some of the stain. If it didn’t lift all of the stain out, wash it off and repeat as needed. Before you use this method, be aware that hydrogen peroxide can bleach some fabrics. Be sure to test your mixture on a small, out-of-the way spot on your jeans, like behind the waistband. If it has no adverse effect, simply pour it over the stain. Let it soak in and repeat as needed until the stain fades. Because of the bleaching risk, start with a weak mixture that’s equal parts dish soap and hydrogen peroxide. If no bleaching occurs, feel free to double or triple the amount for a stronger solution. Whether the other methods seem to have totally or only partially removed the stain, follow them up by running your jeans through their regular cycle in the washer. Use cold water in case any wine is still present, since warm water can cause it to settle in further. Air-dry them afterward for the same reason, since a machine dryer will only make any lingering stain tougher to get rid of. If none of these home remedies are able to get rid of the stain entirely, buy a product that’s specifically designed to do so. Follow its directions regarding use. Such products include:  Bac Out Stain & Odor Remover Carbona Stain Devils Ecover Stain Stick Spot Shot Wine Away

Article in English: Mix in the sugar and salt and whisk until these ingredients dissolve. After they have dissolved, add the pepper and garlic. The pepper, garlic, and salt are optional. Whisk the mixture until it is blended. If you are using a high quality balsamic vinegar, rather than a cheaper version, you will most likely not need to add the sugar. Once you have mixed in the salt, pepper, and garlic, taste the mixture. Add sugar if so desired. To help the vinegar and oil fuse together, keep whisking while you add a few drops of oil at a time. Once you have added all of the required oil, keep whisking for a few more moments to make sure that the ingredients are blended. Taste the vinaigrette and add more seasonings if you want to. Add other ingredients if desired. Some recipes call for adding a dollop of grainy mustard, some chopped herbs, or minced shallots or onions. Feel free to experiment with your dressing. Do this right before you eat so that the salad does not get soggy. If you are not planning on using the vinaigrette right away, pour it into a container with a lid. When you are ready to use it, whisk it again as the ingredients will separate while the dressing sits in the fridge.

Article in English: Mix the processing powders in transparent bowls to dilute the powerful chemicals. Read the packaging instruction carefully and add the directed amounts of water and solution mixes in separate bowls, stirring carefully with a thin, metal object.  Do not stir different solution mixes together unless directed by the packaging. Follow the packaging instructions carefully to prevent potential accidents. Again, always wear safety goggles and thick rubber gloves while handling processing chemicals. Most kits should include a developer and bleach solution for processing the hologram. Each should be mixed separately. Use metal tongs to wiggle the hologram back and forth in the solution without exposing your hands to chemicals. After 30 seconds, rinse the hologram in a bowl of lukewarm water for about 30 seconds. Grip the object with the metal tongs again and swish it slowly back and forth in the bleach solution for 30 seconds. After 20 seconds have passed, rinse the hologram again in lukewarm water for about 30 seconds. Unless the instructions say otherwise, it is safe to use the same water bowl for rinsing both solutions. Prop the holographic plate up vertically against the wall and place a paper towel beneath it to catch drips. Let the plate air dry in darkness, leaving it undisturbed until it is dry to the touch. The plate should take between 2-3 hours to dry completely, depending on the size. After the plate dries, expose it in direct light to inspect your completed hologram. If you're satisfied with the finished image, you have successfully made a hologram.  If you're not satisfied with the hologram's image, repeat the process with a new film plate or contact a professional holographer. Don't be discouraged if your first hologram doesn't turn out as expected. Like all hobbies, making high-quality holograms takes time and practice.

Article in English: Mix them together with a spoon until everything is evenly combined. Use a tasteless oil, such as canola or vegetable. Olive oil will affect the flavor too much. Stir until everything is just mixed together, and the batter is a little lumpy. If you over mix your batter, the pancakes will end up tough and chewy. You can leave your pancake batter as is, or you can add some extra goodies to make it even yummier. Here are some ideas to get you started:  ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) 3 tablespoons dairy-free chocolate chips 3 tablespoons chopped nuts ¼ cup (25 – 50 grams) blueberries, strawberries, or bananas Whatever you choose to cook your pancakes on must be very, very hot. If the surface is not hot enough, the pancakes won't turn out right. These 5 minutes will also give the baking soda enough time to activate, which will give you fluffier pancakes in the end.  Heat electric skillets to 350°F (176.67°C). Set stoves (for skillets or griddles) to medium-low to medium-high. Some surfaces, such as non-stick griddles, do not need to be greased. Others do. You can tell if the surface is hot if you sprinkle some water on it, and the water sizzles. Depending on the size of your skillet/griddle, you may be able to make more than one pancake at a time. You want each pancake to be about 4 inches (10.16 centimeters) in diameter. The pancake is ready to be flipped when it starts to turn bubbly, and the outer edges (about ½ inch or 1.27 centimeters) are matte instead of glossy. The pancake is ready when it turns golden brown. You can serve them on their own, or add your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, cinnamon, or berries.

Article in English: Mix thoroughly to ensure that you can get an even amount of soap across the whole mattress.  If you don't have a spray bottle, you can use a soapy wet rag. A sponge wetted with soapy water or bubble soap will also work for this method. Escaping air will cause bubbles to form on the surface. Make sure your mattress is fully inflated.  Always check the valve area first with any method, as the valves are a common source of leaks. If you see bubbles near the valve, inspect it to make sure it is sealing properly. Start with the seams, followed by the rest of the fabric.   The leak will reveal itself with soap bubbles. Don't worry about getting soap on the mattress. This can be wiped off later and the mattress will dry. Permanent marker will not bleed on the wet surface of the mattress.  You might find it easier to mark the mattress if you use a towel to dry the area first. You can also use a piece of duct tape or felt marker to make your mark more clear once the mattress is dry. The seams will take the longest to dry.  If you don't dry a mattress before storing it, mold or mildew can form. It is important to make sure it is 100% dry before you put it away. Before you can use any kind of adhesive patch to repair your mattress, it must be 100% dry.

Combine 2 tablespoons (25 grams) of calcium carbonate with 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of water. Stir this into 1 cup (240 milliliters) of latex paint.  This paint works well in paint sprayers. This paint is great for painting furniture and then distressing it with sandpaper. You can find calcium carbonate powder in health food stores and online. Mix together 2 tablespoons (25 grams) of calcium carbonate powder, 2 tablespoons (25 grams) of Plaster of Paris, and 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of cool water. Add 2 cups (475 milliliters) of latex paint and stir well. This paint durable. It does not scratch or distress easily. Baking soda is more readily available than calcium carbonate and Plaster of Paris. The resulting finish is very grainy, however. If the texture doesn't bother you, you can prepare baking soda chalk paint by stirring ⅓ cup (60 grams) of baking soda into ⅔ cups (160 milliliters) of paint. If the paint is too thick, try dissolving ½ cup (90 grams) of baking soda in 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) of water, then adding it to 1 cup (240 milliliters) of latex paint.

Article in English: Mix together equal parts baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), clay cat litter and dry sand. Keep it in buckets near your workstation. Create a dry mixture if you intend to absorb the spill. Some might attempt to dilute the spill and use it to clean the affected area.  Liquid ammonia is a common cleaning agent. You can dilute the spill with water and use the mixture as an impromptu cleaner. You'll need to add a higher ratio of water to ammonia, so if you spilled too much, use the dry mixture. This combination of dry ingredients is a safe way of containing and disposing large amounts of liquid ammonia. An acid or alkaline compound can be used to neutralize ammonia, making it safer to handle. You could use hydrochloric or sulfuric neutralizers. Application of these products to the spill will cause a chemical reaction that will neutralize the ammonia.  Search for ammonia neutralizers. Some brands develop a mixture of acids to be used to neutralize ammonia. Hydrochloric acid is found in some tile and toilet bowl cleaners, as well as stain removers. You can also buy pure hydrochloric acid online. Sulfuric acid is found in toilet bowl cleaners and drain de-cloggers. You can buy it online as well. This acid is highly corrosive, so read the safety instructions on the bottle carefully and wear gloves when handling it. Cover the spill with your dry spill mix. You should use enough spill mix so that the surface is completely dry. Wait for the mix to absorb the liquid. Wear a mask while doing this. If possible, place the compound in a fume hood. Turn the fume hood on for the remainder of the process.  Throw this mixture directly into your outdoor trash bin if you don’t have access to a fume hood. Fill a pail with cold water. Slowly add the liquid neutralizers into the cold water. Only add a tenth of the chemical neutralizer to the water.  If you added too much, the neutralizer will still do the job, but may need more applications of water to the spill area.  Stir the mixture for about thirty seconds. Add a small amount of...

Article in English: Mix up your facial gestures throughout your day. Certain movements and expressions, such as squinting your eyes or tilting your head, can lead to fine lines and wrinkles. They also decrease flexibility in the muscles, which can make it difficult for skin to spring back to its original position. Exposure to bright lights or reading small text can cause you to squint your eyes. Invest in and wear reading glasses if you have to squint when you read. Put on sunglasses if you’re out in the sun. This can keep you from squinting and developing fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes. Reduce how much exposure you have to ultraviolet light. UV light breaks down the supportive tissue in your skin and inhibits strength and flexibility. Cover yourself with sunscreen, UV-resistant clothing, or hats when you’re in the sun. Limit the amount of time you spend at the beach or pool, walk on the shady side of a street, or sit under trees while you’re outside. Wear a broad spectrum, high SPF sunscreen when you’re running errands or doing other outdoor activities.

Article in English: Models have beautiful, glowing skin. To keep your skin looking its best, it's important to take care of your skin. Make sure that your daily skin routine includes washing and moisturizing in the morning and at night.  Use a gentle facial cleanser in the morning and at night. Don’t overdo it with special treatments, such as masks and exfoliating treatments, because they may irritate your skin. Always wash off your makeup at night. Never sleep in your makeup because that can lead to clogged pores and pimples.  See a dermatologist if you have severe acne, oily skin or other skin issues. To make sure that your face and body are always photo ready, devote some time every day to shaving, plucking, waxing and trimming any unsightly or stray hairs.  Women should keep their legs and underarms hair-free, keep eyebrows well-groomed and remove any other excess facial or body hair. Men should keep facial hair shaved or neatly trimmed. Removing body hair is optional for men and will largely depend on personal preference and what a client wants of the male model. This advice goes for male models as well. Don't bite your nails and keep them in excellent condition. You don’t have to wear nail polish, just make sure that your nails always look neat and clean.  Get regular manicures if you can afford them or give yourself a manicure once every week or two. Keep a nail file and some good hand lotion in your purse for easy touch-ups on the go. Use a moisturizer on your face that is suited to your skin type. You should also get into the habit of putting moisturizer on your body daily, especially your legs and arms. Keeping your skin moisturized will give it a healthy glow.  Use a moisturizer with at least SPF 30 protection if you will be spending time outside.  Use a facial moisturizer that suits your skin type. Always take time to moisturize your face before applying makeup. Massage the lotion into your skin until it is fully absorbed. Choose makeup that suits your eye color and highlights your best features, but don't wear too...

Article in English: Modified Fire Resistive construction is ISO Class 5.  ISO Class 5 encompasses IBC Type IB. Modified Fire Resistive Buildings are buildings where the exterior bearing walls and load-bearing portions of exterior walls must be of noncombustible materials or of masonry, but exterior nonbearing walls and wall panels may be slow-burning, combustible, or with no fire- resistance rating.  Buildings with exterior walls, floors, and roofs of masonry materials described in the definition of fire resistive (Construction Class 6) — less thick than required for fire-resistive structures but not less than four inches thick, or Fire-resistive materials with a fire-resistance rating less than two hours but not less than one hour Structural steel protection: Note that modified fire-resistive buildings also include structural steel protection techniques — fire-protection material applied to steel. Materials include:  concrete plaster clay tile brick or other masonry units gypsum block gypsum wallboard mastic coatings mineral and fiberboard mineral wool    Ceilings protecting steel beams or joists: What happens when there is no fire-protection material applied to steel beams or joists that support floors or roofs? ISO still considers a building modified fire resistive if it has a suitable ceiling. Ceilings can be plaster or gypsum wallboard or suspended mineral tile. The entire floor-ceiling (a fire-resistive ceiling protecting a floor) or roof-ceiling (a fire-resistive ceiling protecting roof supports) should conform to construction details in a UL-listed or Factory Mutual (FM)-approved design.

Article in English: Moisten the top and bottom lip by running your tongue along both sides. Apply chapstick or another moisturizer so that your lips do not crack while learning to whistle loudly. Moisture is also important to the sound of your whistle, so keep your lips wet while you practice whistling.  You can also moisten your lips by drinking a glass of water. Bring your thumb and index finger together while keeping your other three fingers relaxed. Touch the tips of your thumb and index finger, forming a circular shape.  It is not especially important how the remaining fingers rest as long as they do not get in the way. If you are not a fan of the “okay” finger configuration, experiment with other ways to whistle with your fingers. Place the tips of your fingers on the back of your tongue and gently press your fingers to roll your tongue back. Roll the top ¼ of your tongue back on itself. Do not press too firmly, and keep the tips of your index finger and thumb together.  You should apply enough pressure with your fingers to cause the tip of your tongue to curl back slightly, but without folding it completely over. Be sure to wash your hands before putting your fingers in your mouth. Close your lips over the first knuckle of your index finger and thumb, leaving no room for air to escape through the sides of your mouth. Leave a small hole between your bottom lip and the inside of the ring created by your fingers. This will be where the air flows through, making the loud whistling sound.  Make sure that all other areas around your fingers are airtight. If air escapes from any other position at the front of your mouth, you will not get a strong whistle. Wet your lips again if they dry up throughout this process. Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale through the space created by your fingers and bottom lip. Blow a consistent stream of air through this space until you hear a whistle sound. After some practice, a loud, clear whistle should be heard through this space in your fingers.  Do not be discouraged if you do not get...

Article in English: Mold spores can be very harmful to your health, especially if they get into your lungs. To prevent this, whenever cleaning mold you should wear air mask, rubber gloves, and safety goggles without air vents.  Due to the especially harmful effects of spores on the lungs, a N95 mask should be used. These can be bought at most hardware stores. If you are allergic to mold or mold sensitive, cover as much of your skin as possible. Wear a long sleeve shirt and coveralls, in this case. If you don't have any other options, you may clean mold from furniture inside, though you should open windows before starting. During the cleaning process you might accidentally spread mold spores. To prevent mold from spreading to other pieces of furniture or parts of your house, clean outdoors.  If you move the furniture outside, slit a garbage bag or two and tape the bag(s) around the furniture. This will prevent the spread of spores when transporting the furniture through your house. Many cleaning agents, like bleach, give off harmful fumes. At minimum, you should clean in a well-ventilated area. A vacuum with an arm attachment and a HEPA filter will suck up loose spores along with dust and dirt. Pass the vacuum slowly over moldy areas several times. When emptying the bag or canister of the vacuum, do so outside and into a plastic bag. Seal the bag tightly and throw it away.

Article in English: Mole removal creams are an affordable and fairly effective method of removing moles at home.  Most creams work by lightening the mole until it is no longer visible, which can happen in a matter of weeks. Stronger, over-the-counter creams focus on peeling the skin away layer by layer until the mole is removed. Keep in mind that mole removal creams can actually leave worse scars than surgical removal. A general-use whitening cream can also be effective at reducing the appearance of moles, but it will no actually remove the mole. A whitening cream will lighten the color of your mole, making it less obvious.

Article in English: Money trees should be pruned if they start to grow too tall or wide for their pots. You may notice branches or leaves extending out from the top or sides of the tree, creating an uneven shape. This means it’s time to prune the tree to reshape it and encourage healthy growth. If you notice any leaves that are dry, wilting, or have turned brown, you can remove them by pruning the tree. Dry, brown leaves may be an indication that the air is too dry or cold around the tree. The tree may also not be getting enough natural light. Money trees maintain their shape best if they are pruned at least once in the springtime. Make it a point to prune your tree at least once in the months of March to May so it can flourish for the rest of the year.

Article in English: Monitoring a teen party without killing the mood is a balancing act that will require a good attitude. Having a second set of eyes will make you feel less frantic and allow you to cover more ground. If the party is co-ed, having a chaperone of the opposite gender will help you deal with any issues that may come up. If you know a trustworthy older teen or twenty-something who can handle a crowd, recruit them to chaperone the party. Explain rules to the chaperone and party-goers and then head upstairs or into a room where the party isn't being held. Check in every once in a while by getting something from the fridge. Plan it out with your teenager so that they're involved. The good news is that sticking to teen-friendly food like chips, soda, hotdogs, and pizza should be fairly easy on your pocketbook.  How much should you spend on food and drinks? Decorations? Activities? Plan it out so that your budget isn't busted like a piñata after a party. Luckily, a lot of teens are too cool for themed parties, so unless your teen has requested otherwise, your safest bet is probably to keep the party simple. If your teen is having a small party, your house would be suitable. If your teen is having a large party, consider setting up picnic tables and barbecues in the park (for outdoorsy activities) or renting a place such as a hall or recreation center (for more formal activities). Be prepared for bad weather. If you are hosting your party out in a garden/backyard, make sure that you have a gazebo just in case the weather changes. Either that, or be ready to let the teens come inside your house. How many guests does your teen want to come to the party? How many can you comfortably handle? Come to a compromise with your teen so that both of you have a say in it; moreover, discussing and laying ground rules in advance will make it easier for you to deal with party-crashers if they show up.  Plan on accommodating a few more guests than you expect. Parties, especially teen parties, rely on word of mouth and can grow depending...

Article in English: Monthly topical treatments are among the most effective and most popular type of preventative flea medication for dogs.  You will need a veterinarian's prescription for most of these topical or "spot on" treatments. Apply a few drops or a small pre-measured vial of the flea medication where it tells you to. Some medicines tell you to apply between your dog's shoulder blades while others ask you to apply it in several different locations. Get the medication directly on your dog's skin and not on its coat. This medication kills adult fleas that land on the dog or bite the dog. It is usually effective for one month. Some products are also able to kill eggs, but not all products do so. The medication should be applied monthly on a year-round basis. If you live in an area that regularly reaches the freezing point during winter, however, you might be able to use the product less frequently during these colder weather months, since fleas will be inactive. Ask your veterinarian about preventative tablets that you can administer to your dog on a monthly basis.   Feed the pill to your dog once a month during a meal. Your veterinarian will need to prescribe the correct dosage to your dog based on its weight. When a female flea bites the dog after treatment, it ingests a chemical known as lufenuron. This gets passed to the eggs and prevents them from hatching. (It does not, however, kill the adult flea, so the results may take some time to see). As with any treatment, it's worth keeping an eye on how your dog reacts. Look at the place you put the treatment to make sure there is no reaction and do not use it again if the dog's skin goes red or sore.

Article in English: More importantly, do not keep your lenses in for longer than your eye doctor has recommended. Contact your eye doctor directly if you are uncertain how long you can wear a pair of lenses.  Your eye doctor can offer you some guidance and even produce a chart so it is easier for you to to keep track of the time you have worn your contacts. If you find yourself drifting off, make sure to remove your lenses before you fall asleep. Leaving them in while you sleep will dry out and irritate your eyes, so it is to be avoided.  There are some lenses designed to be left in while you sleep. Be completely sure that these are the type you have before sleeping in them. This sounds obvious, but it's very important not to share your lenses with anybody, no matter what the circumstances. It would be very unhygienic, and could damage your eyes. If your lenses are irritating your eyes and causing discomfort, don't just leave them in. Remove them, and don't use them again until you've spoken to your eye doctor. If the lenses are contaminated and you keep wearing them any irritation or infection is likely to remain.  If your eyes have become a little dried out from wearing lenses, take them out and give your eyes a break. You can use re-wetting saline drops to refresh dry eyes. You should continue to see your eye doctor for regularly scheduled checks. But if you experience more serious symptoms it is important to contact your doctor quickly. If you suffer a sudden loss of vision, persistent blurred vision, or light flashes you should act quickly. Other symptoms that you should look out for are:  Pain in your eyes. Swelling, or unusual redness. Prolonged irritation or watering.

Article in English: More likely than not the bird has sustained a concussion, in which case it should be removed from all stimuli. Anything else will make its condition worse. If it has sustained injuries to its limbs, it will require professional assistance anyway. If birds frequently collide into your windows, be sure to keep on hand a towel, a small box (a shoe box is ideal), gloves, and, if possible, safety glasses Often the bird will only need a couple of minutes to recover. You should stay to watch the bird and ensure that no predators attack it before it recovers. If it does not recover within five or six minutes you should be more proactive.  If you are not comfortable handling a bird you should call the local bird or wildlife rehabilitation center immediately. These can be located with the Wildlife Rehabilitation Information Directory: http://wildliferehabinfo.org/Contact_A-M.htm. If the bird has a shoulder injury it might be able to fly for short distances horizontally. However, it will not be able to lift its wings above its shoulders or obtain any elevation in its flight. Shoulder or wing injuries will require skilled medical assistance and months of rehabilitation. If the bird seems to have extensive damage to its limbs, call the local bird or wildlife rehabilitation center.  Conversely, if the bird seems unconscious the bird has sustained head trauma and will merely need a safe place to relax. Removing all stimuli will significantly increase the probability of the bird recovering from a potentially fatal concussion. You want a small box that will block all incoming light. To make it comfortable you should line it with a paper towel or a soft cotton cloth. If the bird is larger, you can place a towel on the bottom of a paper bag and staple or tape the top the bag, leaving enough of a crack to allow for airflow. However, if the bird is large enough to potentially injury you, you should consider avoiding contact and calling for professional assistance immediately. Use gloves and safety goggles if possible.

Mix the sugar into a pot of warm water to dissolve it. You can use tap water or bottled water. The water should be about 90 °F (32 °C). Use roughly 7 to 9 kilograms (15 to 20 lb) of sugar. For a cleaner alcohol, use purified water. When all of the sugar has been dissolved, carefully pour the sugar and water solution into the plastic bucket or glass carboy that you are using as a fermentation vessel. For a  7.5 gallon (28 L) vessel, pour 1.5 to 2 gallons (5.7 to 7.6 L) of solution. This sugar will be broken down by the yeast to produce alcohol. It is not necessary to sterilize the sucrose solution before fermenting, but if desired this can be done by boiling the sucrose solution for fifteen to twenty minutes. Take into account that some of the water will evaporate, so add a little more water before boiling. Open the yeast packet and dump the yeast into the sugar water solution. If using a plastic bucket, stir to get an even mixture. Use a sanitized, dry funnel to help prevent a mess when adding the yeast to the narrow opening of a carboy.  Use one packet of yeast. More yeast can speed up the process, but it will not lead to a better yield of alcohol. Do not put the yeast into the sugar water until it has cooled.  If the water is too hot it will kill the yeast. In the first days of fermentation, the yeast will expend most of its energy multiplying itself. Since this process requires oxygen, leave the lid off for the first 24 hours. If you cut off oxygen to the yeast immediately, the fermentation process will take much longer and may proceed sluggishly. If using a plastic bucket, tightly push the lid onto the bucket so that an airtight seal is formed. This may be somewhat difficult and may...

Article in English: Morgellon's disease is a skin disorder in which people have itchy sensations on their skin. This may cause them to scratch until they have open sores. Symptoms include:  Severe itching caused by sores or a rash  The feeling that insects are crawling under your skin The feeling that you are being bitten or stung by insects Fibers or strings in or on your skin. The fibers may be in the sores. Some experts say the fibers are likely from clothing that got stuck in the sores. Others say it is a symptom of an infection. Exhaustion Loss of concentration Memory loss Sleep problems Muscle pain Joint pain Hair loss Weight loss or gain Low body temperature Loss of balance Abnormal reflexes Inflamed lymph nodes Irritable bowel syndrome Irregular or fast heartbeat Decreased vision and hearing Your doctor will likely want to hear about both your symptoms and discuss your medical history. Some doctors believe that the causes for Morgellon's may be at least partially psychological. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that people suffering from Morgellon's disease often had a medical history which included one or more of the following conditions:  High blood pressure Allergies Arthritis Skin infections like scabies Mental illnesses like depression, anxiety, or attention deficit disorder Drug abuse This will enable the doctor to test the affected skin against known infections and environmental factors. This may be useful in ruling out causes other than Morgellon's. Be aware that when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analyzed the skin of patients suffering from Morgellon's, they did not find evidence of an infection. This may support a psychological cause for Morgellon's. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that:  No unusual bacteria were infecting the skin samples. The fibers in the sores were usually those that could have come from clothing or bandages, such as cotton or polyester. The most frequent skin problem observed was sun damage. A recent scientific study...

Article in English: Mosquitoes are often attracted to water, especially standing water. Examples of mosquito breeding grounds include old tires, driveway puddles, clogged gutters, unfiltered fish ponds, empty flowerpots, and any item that can hold water for more than a few days at a time.  Use a push broom to distribute the water for small puddles on hard surfaces. Use a siphon pump for larger puddles. If you're inundated by mosquitoes due to standing water from street curbs, drainage ditches or other pools you cannot control, call the responsible public authority to explain that you believe the water has become a mosquito breeding source. If it is not possible to remove particular water source, place some Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (BTI) dunks/granules into the water. BTI is a species of bacteria that functions as a larvicide and will kill mosquito larvae for as long as a month, in addition to being safe and non-toxic to children/pets. If you have a koi pond or swimming pool that doesn't see much use, it may become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Do yourself and your neighbors a favor by doing regular maintenance to keep the water fresh and flowing.  Cut back vegetation from around your pond or other water features. If you have a birdbath or another small source of water, change the water frequently or agitate it so mosquitoes won't lay eggs there. Treat your pool with the proper chemicals to make it uninhabitable for mosquitoes. Too much grass and shrubbery can create breeding and hiding grounds for mosquitoes. Be sure to regularly mow your lawn and use hedge trimmers to cut back shrubs and other vegetation.

Article in English: Mosquitoes don't like to go near citronella oil. In addition to using it on your body, citronella oil can be used in the following ways to keep mosquitoes away from your property:  Burn a citronella candle or torch. The smoke in the air may help keep away some bugs.  Plant a citronella plant in a pot on your porch. To use, you can snap off a twig and rub it over your skin and around the perimeter of your porch––the smell may discourage mosquitoes. Use citronella incense coils. Check for the other ingredients in these and don't sit in the line of the smoke from them, as any smoke inhalation is potentially unhealthy. Get an oil burner and use a candle to heat some water and an essential oil like lemon eucalyptus, lavender or catnip (a mixture of few oil types is preferred). The heat of the candle will evaporate the oil into the air, and both the heat and the repellent oils will help to create a 2 to 3 meter (6.6 to 9.8 ft) radius of mosquito-free zone. If you're having an outdoor meal, you can keep mosquitoes away by placing a dish of water with some dish soap in a discreet place nearby. The mosquitoes will be attracted to the water source, and they'll get trapped in the soap bubbles and drown. Place yellow LED lights around doorways, windows and porches. Mosquitoes won't hang around if the light is sourced from yellow LEDs, bug lights or sodium lamps. If you live in a place with a big mosquito infestation, you might want to use a net or screen outside as well as inside. Place a suitable net or clear outdoor covering around your porch or outdoor area. A waterproof one will help to keep out the rain, the snow and all the bugs, too. Eating garlic daily to repel mosquitoes has not been proven effective in scientific studies, but, some people believe it has an impact when used as a barrier. Since garlic is delicious, it can't hurt to grow it, but don't rely on it as the only source of repelling the pests.  Plant garlic around your house to repel mosquitoes. It can be integrated around your house, on a balcony, etc....

Article in English: Most Chia pets will have a hole at the top. You will need to pour the water through this hole. Try to use something with a narrow spout, such as a water bottle. If you get any water on the actual seeds, they may slide off. Some gardeners will recommend not watering the pet for the first two days so that the seeds can stick to the pot. As you water your Chia pet, you may notice some water gathering in the tray. You should pour this water out as soon as possible, or it will become stagnant. This will help the seeds grow more evenly. Plants in general tend to grow towards the sun. If only one side of your pet is facing the sun, one side will be bushy and full, and the other will be sparse and thin. White fuzz is normal when Chia seeds first sprout. However, misting the seeds with water will help to reduce the fuzzy appearance, so make sure to do this daily. This fuzz is simply the root hairs, and they will disappear after the first week. If you notice white fuzz after the first week, you will need to start your Chia pet over. Scrape the seeds off the pet first, soak the pet for 30 minutes in a solution made from 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) bleach and 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of water. Rinse the pet well with fresh water, and plant your Chia seeds anew. Simply pull them off, and wash the Chia pet well using water and a scrubbing brush. At this point, you can reuse the pet, and plant more Chia seeds. Don't wait until the sprouts turn brown. They will be harder to remove.

Article in English: Most calf strains are minor injuries and self-heal within a week -- the degree of pain, disability and bruising are good indicators of seriousness. Grade I muscle strains involve micro-tears of up to 10% of the muscle fibers. They're characterized by mild pain twinges at the back of the lower leg, usually in the mid to proximal (closer to the knee) region of the leg. Minimal loss of strength and motion is experienced. You may still be able to walk, run or play your sport, albeit with discomfort and tightness.  Muscle strains occur when the force in the muscle is so great that the tissue tears, most commonly at the junction between where the muscles taper into tendons. Most Grade I lower leg strains cause discomfort for between two to five days post injury, but may take a few weeks to fully heal, depending on proportion of muscle fibers involved and the type of treatment sought. treatment protocol. The most effective treatment protocol for most sprain / strain injuries is abbreviated R.I.C.E. and stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation. The first step is rest — temporarily stop all activity in order to address your injury. Next, cold therapy (ice wrapped in a thin towel or frozen gel packs) should be applied to the injury as soon as possible in order to stop any internal bleeding and reduce inflammation, preferably while your leg is elevated on a chair or stack of pillows (which also combats inflammation). Ice should be applied for 10 –15 minutes every hour, then reduce the frequency as the pain and swelling subside over the course of a few days. Compressing the ice against your injury with a compression bandage or elastic support will also help stop the bleeding from the torn muscle fibers and associated inflammation. Don't tie the compression bandage too tight or leave it on for more than 15 minutes at a time because complete restriction of blood flow could cause more damage to your leg. Your family doctor may recommend anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin, or possibly regular...

Article in English: Most cancers of the mouth and throat cause some identifiable signs or symptoms during their early stages, but not all do. In some cases, cancers don't cause symptoms until they’ve reached an advanced stage. Regardless, doctors and dentists recommend that in addition to regular checkups, you should carefully look at your mouth in a mirror at least once a month to check for any abnormal signs.  Oral cancers can grow virtually anywhere in your mouth and throat, including the lips, gums, tongue, hard palate, soft palate, tonsils, and insides of the cheeks. Teeth are the only parts that can't develop cancer. Consider buying, or borrowing from your dentist, a small dental mirror in order to help you examine your mouth more thoroughly. Brush your teeth and floss before examining your mouth. If your gums normally bleed after brushing or flossing, rinse with some warm salt water and wait a few minutes before examining. Check all around your mouth for small white sores or lesions, which are called leukoplakia by doctors. Leukoplakia are common precursors to oral cancers, but they are often misdiagnosed as canker sores or other small ulcers caused by abrasions or minor trauma. Leukoplakia can also be mistaken for bacterial infections of the gums and tonsils, as well as Candida yeast overgrowth in the mouth (called thrush).  Although canker sores and other ulcers are usually very painful, leukoplakia aren't typically, unless they're in advanced stages. Cankers are most common on the inner lips, cheeks and sides of the tongue, whereas leukoplakia can be anywhere in the mouth. With good hygiene, canker sores and other small abrasions and cuts usually heal within a week or so. In contrast, leukoplakia don't go away and often become larger and more painful with time. While checking the inside of your mouth and back of your throat, watch out for small red sores or patches. Red sores (lesions) are called erythroplakia by doctors, and although less common than leukoplakia in the mouth, they have a much greater potential for...

Many dishwasher manuals are also available online for free. Websites such as ManualsOnline.com and ManualsLib.com are just a few of the many sites that have downloadable manuals for a variety of home appliances. Especially check into this if there is water in the bottom of your dishwasher at the end of a cycle. If the drain hose has become bent or restricted, the flow of water can be limited and built-up water can become musty in the hose.  If the dishwasher can be pulled away from the wall, do so to check the hose. Most other dishwashers will be located next to the kitchen sink will have drain hoses that connect to the same kitchen drain pipe. You can detach the hose at whichever end is easier to access in order to inspect it. Waste water from the sink can drain through the hose into the dishwasher if the drain hose is not looped up from the drain pipe before it is run to the dishwasher. The weight of a sink-full of water can push water back up through the dishwasher drain hose. If this appears to be a problem, raise the loop of the drain hose higher. Examine the junction box behind the kick plate under the door of the dishwasher. A poor connection can produce an odor and is a fire hazard. Other problems can come from shorts in any of the electrical lines or a dysfunctional heater unit. If the dishwasher appears to have electrical problem, unplug it and call an electrician to fix the problem.

Article in English: Most dogs and puppies engage in mouthing, nipping or play biting, which is normal. If this is the case, your playful dog will have a relaxed body that isn't tense or aggressive. When he nips or bites, the puppy or dog won't show teeth or bite down hard. However, if your dog is aggressively biting, his body will be stiff, he'll show his teeth, and he'll bite quickly and hard. Pay attention to your dog attitude, in addition to his body language. Chances are, you'll already have a good idea as to whether your dog is unhappy and acting out, or if he's simply playing. Dogs just don't suddenly bite. Instead, dogs bite as a reaction to a situation or feeling. You'll need to watch your dog's body language in order to figure out why he bites. It's important to determine this since you'll need to deal with your dog differently depending on whether he's biting from playfulness or aggression. Your dog may bite if he is:  Hungry Scared or feels threatened Defending himself or his territory Sick or in pain Overly excited during play You can figure out your dog's mood by paying attention to his body language. Knowing how your dog is feeling will help you respond appropriately and prevent future biting. Look to see if your dog is biting and:  Relaxed: Your dog will have a calm stance and relaxed facial muscles with an open mouth. His ears will be in the natural position (erect or floppy depending on the breed) or slightly forward if he's alert. He may be wagging his tail or holding it naturally and his fur will lay flat. Aggressive: Your dog's ears and tail will be erect (while the tail might slowly wag from side to side). His muscles will be tense while his fur stands up along his back. He'll show his teeth and stare directly at you or whatever is bothering him. Note that you shouldn't meet his gaze, slowly back away, and get a barrier (like a chair, door, or backpack) between you. Afraid: Your dog will cower with his ears back, his body tense, and his tail tucked between his legs. He may bite because he feels he can't flee...

Article in English: Most dogs are not aggressive, but, rather, just curious or defending what they perceive as their territory. Thus, to avoid unnecessary conflict, it is important to be able to tell if a dog is just playing or is being truly aggressive. While some breeds have been singled out as being particularly vicious, any mid-size and large dog breed can be dangerous, so do not ignore warning signs because you think a certain breed is harmless or friendly. Watch for common signs of aggression (and non-aggression):  Growling, snarling, and baring teeth are obvious displays of aggression and should be treated as such. An angry dog may show the whites of his eyes, especially if these aren't normally visible. Pulled-back ears laying flat against the head are a telltale sign of aggression, whereas normal floppy or elevated ears usually signal a dog's nonchalance. If the dog approaches you with its body relaxed and with a sloping curve in its midsection, the dog is probably not going to attack. A dog whose body is tense, straight and stiff (head, shoulders and hips aligned) could mean business. A loping gait means the dog is playful and checking you out.  An even, steady run means the dog may be dangerous. void aggravating a dog. Most dog attacks are the result of insufficient containment of the dog, poor training, or taunting. Unfortunately, the world will never be rid of bad owners, so it is wise to be prepared. Common sense should tell you not to aggravate any kind of animal.  Never irritate a dog who's eating or caring for her pups. Dogs are extra-protective during these times. Avoid smiling at the dog. You may think you are putting on a friendly face with a big toothy smile, but an aggressive dog sees you baring your teeth for a fight. Dogs that are chained or tethered to a stationary object for extended periods of time are more likely to be aggressive, so do not come within their reach. In general, the best policy when it comes to dog attacks is to do everything you can to avoid them in the first place. If you see a dog...

Article in English: Most fan mail is sent to the celebrity’s agent, but some celebrities have a specific address just for receiving fan mail. Do a few searches online for the celebrity’s name, plus the words “address” and “fan mail.” You should be able to find an agent or address to send mail to!  Look up the celebrity’s official website, as well as any fan club websites. You might be able to find contact information on either of those sites. If you’re having a hard time finding an address, look up the name of something that they’re currently working on, like a recent movie release or ongoing TV show. Sometimes, there will be a general address to send fan mail to for the whole cast. Fold up the letter and place it in an envelope. If you’re sending a letter that includes a request for an autograph, address an extra envelope to yourself, and put a stamp on it. Include this envelope in the envelope that holds your letter. That way, all the celebrity has to do is sign the autograph, put it in the envelope, and mail the letter back to you! Make sure the envelope is big enough to fit the item that you requested, like a signed picture. If you need to, fold the pre-written envelope before placing it in the envelope with your letter. Write the recipient’s name, the street address, city, state, and ZIP code on the center of the front of the envelope. Make sure it matches the address that you found for them! Then, put a stamp in the top right corner of the envelope.  If you’re writing to a celebrity in a different country, like France, Australia, or Canada, you might have to address the letter differently than you would to someone in the U.S. For example, for a letter to the United States, you would write the address as:Mr. John Smith1234 Main StreetNew York City, NY 10001

Article in English: Most flats lack proper arch support. This can make them uncomfortable or painful to wear for some people. If your flats are not comfortable enough for you, check the inside sole and see if there is enough arch support. If not, get a shoe insert that has extra padding in the arch area. It will make them more comfortable to wear. Socks help absorb sweat. When you don't wear socks with your shoes, your feet sweat. This can lead to blisters and embarrassing odors. This does not mean that you have to wear crew socks with every pair of flats that you own. For example:  Ballet flats and other types of flats that leave the top of the foot exposed won't look very good with crew socks. Consider wearing them with low-cut or hidden-liner socks. They will protect your feet, but they won't show beyond your shoe. Flat sandals will have to be worn barefoot. Fortunately, all those open spaces give your feet plenty of ventilation and reduce sweat. If you own a pair of flats that slip off the back of your heel with every step you take, you may end up with calluses and blisters on the back of your heel. You can keep your shoes in place with some heel inserts. For example:  If your shoes fit well and only slip a little, you might just need a little bit of cushioning, such as a strip of adhesive suede or moleskin. If your shoes are a little bit on the large side, consider getting a cushioned heel insert. It's shaped like a long oval, and sticks right onto the inside of your shoe's heel. They are usually made out of foam or gel. If you have a pair of ballerina flats that dig into your heel, or some flat dress sandals that bite into your toes, you might want to consider getting some moleskin. This will help soften any sharp edges and reduce friction. Simply cut the moleskin to the shape of the affected area, peel off the paper backing, and stick it right into the shoe. You can buy moleskin in shoe supply stores, in the shoe department of a department store, or in the orthopedic section of a drugstore/pharmacy. Unfortunately, it is...

Article in English: Most flu vaccines are injected on the deltoid muscle of the right arm. Using a newly opened alcohol pad, lightly clean the deltoid area of the upper arm. This can help ensure the that no bacteria enters the injection site.  Make sure to use single-dose alcohol pad.  If the person has a large or especially hairy arm, consider using two alcohol pads to help ensure the deltoid area is clean. Choose a needle appropriate for the size of your patient. Make sure it is a single-use needle that was sealed prior to the vaccine, which can help prevent the spread of diseases.  Use a needle 1 to 1.5" (2.5 to 3.8 cm) in length for an adult who weighs 132 lbs (60 kg) or more. This is a standard-sized needle, 22 – 25 gauge.  Use a needle 5/8" (1.58 cm) in length for children and adults who weigh less than 132 lbs (60 kg). Stretch the skin tightly when using a smaller needle. Once you’ve selected the proper sized needle for your patient, place it on the syringe into which you will fill the vaccine. Make sure to select a new, single-use syringe to minimize the risk of infecting your patient with bacteria or other diseases. Using a vial of the flu vaccine, or TIV-IM, fill your syringe with the appropriate dosage for your patient. The patient's age determines the proper dosage amount.  Give 0.25 mL (0.05 tsp) to children from 6 months to 35 months in age.  Give 0.5 mL (0.1 tsp) to all patients older than 35 months.  For adults age 65 years and older, you may give 0.5 mL of high-dose TIV-IM.  If you do not have 0.5ml syringes, you may use two single 0.25ml syringes. Gather your patient’s deltoid muscle between your fingers and hold it somewhat tightly. Ask your patient which is his dominant hand, and inject the vaccine in the opposite arm to help prevent soreness. If this is your first time administering a flu shot, you should have a seasoned nurse is monitoring your technique.  Find the thickest part of the deltoid, which is often above the armpit and below the acromion, or top of the shoulder. Firmly guide the needle into...

Article in English: Most ground meats will produce a lot of grease in the skillet. If there's more than a spoonful in the bottom of the skillet, you'll need to drain it off. Set a can or metal jar in the sink and put a lid on the skillet. Carefully tilt the pan so the grease gathers on 1 side of the pan and the lid stops the meat from falling out. Slowly pour the grease into the can.  Let the grease cool before you discard it. Avoid pouring the hot grease directly into the sink because the grease will clog the pipes.

Article in English: Most headlight controls will be marked by a standard headlamp indicator symbol. Look for this symbol on the side of the control dial.  The standard headlamp indicator symbol looks like a sun or upside-down light bulb. On many headlight control dials, there will also be an enclosed circle next to this indicator symbol. The circle marks the side of the dial actually controlling the headlight settings. Align this enclosed circle with the headlight setting you wish to select. Each headlight setting should be labeled by a separate symbol, and these symbols are almost always the same from vehicle to vehicle.  If your vehicle is equipped with parking lamps, these lights should be indicated by a symbol that looks like the letter "p" with several lines extending out from the rounded front. The "low beam" symbol looks like a rounded triangle or capital letter "D." Downward-slanted lines extend out from the flat side of the shape. The "fog light" symbol utilizes the same shape and has downward slanting lines like the "low beam" symbol. One wavy line should pass directly through the center of these slanted lines, though. The "high beam" symbol also looks like a rounded triangle or capital "D," but the lines extending out from the flat side are perfectly horizontal. Automobiles with electronic/digital dashboards may display a warning light when certain car lights are not operating correctly. When one of these warning lights flashes, you should have the corresponding headlight changed or otherwise fixed.  When your headlights are malfunctioning, your vehicle may display the standard headlight indicator symbol with an exclamation mark (!) or "x" across it. Alternatively, it may display the low beam indicator with an exclamation mark over it.

Article in English: Most household appliance motors with a shorted winding will not run and will probably open the fuse or trip the circuit breaker instantly (600 volt systems are "ungrounded," so a 600 volt motor with a shorted winding may run and not trip a fuse or circuit breaker). With an ohmmeter set to the Resistance or Ohms test setting, place test probes into the appropriate jacks, usually the "Common" and "Ohms" jacks. (Check the meter's operation manual if necessary) Choose the highest scale (R X 1000 or similar) and zero the meter by touching both probes against each other. Adjust the needle to 0 if possible. Locate a ground screw (often a green, hex head type) or any metal part of the frame (scrape away paint if needed to make good contact with metal) and press a test probe to this spot and the other test probe to each of the motor leads, one at a time.  Ideally, the meter should barely move off the highest resistance indication.  Make sure your hands are not touching the metal probe tips, as doing so will cause the reading to be inaccurate.  It may move a fair amount, but the meter should always indicate a resistance value in the millions of ohms (or "megohms").  Occasionally, values as low as several hundred thousand ohms (500,000 or so), *may* be acceptable, but a higher number is more desirable. Many digital meters do not offer the ability to zero, so skip the "zeroing" information above if yours is a digital meter. Many simple "across the line" single-phase and 3-phase motors (used in household appliances and industry respectively) can be checked simply by changing the range of the ohm meter to the lowest offered (R X 1), zeroing the meter again, and measuring the resistance between the leads of the motor.  In this case, consult the wiring diagram of the motor to be sure that the meter is measuring across each winding. Expect to see a very low value of resistance in ohms.  Low, single digit resistance values are expected.  Make sure your hands are not touching the metal probe tips, as doing so will cause the...

Article in English: Most likely this will be the popular "in"-crowd, but think of specific words that describe the group. This will help you better visualize and organize the things you will need to do to fit in.  Use this template: The popular kids are __________.  They are best described as __________.  They are good at __________, and they like to __________ in their spare time.  This sentence may look like this: "The popular kids are football players and cheerleaders.  They are best described as energetic, active, physical, and attractive.  They are good at playing sports and socializing with others, and they like to party in their spare time." Or, your template may look like this: "The popular kids are choir members and acting students.  They are best described as intellectual, funny, charismatic, and quiet.  They are good at putting on a show, entertaining others, and making people laugh, and they like to watch movies in their spare time." Popular groups vary from school to school.  At your school, athletes may be the most popular.  At another school, the environmentally aware may be the most popular.  Don't just assume that popular people all behave and show interest in the same things. Your desired group is likely appealing because they have strayed from certain behaviors and interests that may not be the most popular among your peers.  The target group may be Vegan, and in your school, being "cool" may mean not eating animals or animal products. You will have to decide if the norms the group abides by are things you are actually willing to sacrifice or pursue.  Maybe you love eating T-bone steaks and scrambled eggs too much to try to follow that norm. Look for favorite band T-shirts, instruments, or sports equipment they carry.  Eavesdrop a little and find out what topics they discuss most.   Be careful while listening to conversations; you don't want to be too apparent, otherwise you may be branded as nosy. You most likely won't have to follow every social norm to gain acceptance.  For instance, your group may be...

Article in English: Most of the promises God makes to those who follow Him are not tangible, so you won't be able to see proof of those promises with your own eyes. You must believe that God will keep those promises as an act of faith rather than one of sight.  As stated in John 3:17-18, "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved, by the condemning of his son. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." Simply put, accepting Christ as your Savior and as the Son of God will lead you to salvation.  As stated in Matthew 16:27, "For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works." If you live by the will of God—in other words, walking in faith and by faith—you will receive the salvation promised to the believers and followers of Christ. Walking by sight limits your experience to things that can only be experienced by sight. Once you realize how limiting this is, the benefit of walking by faith can become much clearer.  Imagine what life would be like if you never planned to travel anywhere beyond the destinations you can see from your bedroom window. You wouldn't get very far, and you would be missing out on everything the world had to offer. Likewise, if you never plan to travel anywhere beyond the tangible realm, you won't get very far and you'll miss out on everything that the spiritual realm has to offer. The world can be a frightening place, and sometimes, you may do things out of fear that contradict God's will. If you want to walk by faith, you need to release your fear to God and accept the path He leads you down. This is easier said than done, of course. You may not be able to become completely fearless, but you can be courageous and learn to act according to God's will even when you are afraid of what lies ahead.

Article in English: Most of the time when you see Angelina out and about, she’s wearing black. Whatever you do, don’t wear pastels. She almost never does. You might see her in jewel tones at an awards show, but black’s the basic uniform.  Decide which phase of Angelina’s life you want to look like. Angelina Jolie is known for mixing up her styles. In 1991, when she was a high school student, she wore black boots with a silver bat charm. Today, she has a softer style. But she still favors black. In fact, many of Angelina’s outfits are entirely black. Her style tends to be monochromatic, not patterns or mixing colors. When she pairs black with another color, it’s often a white or tan shirt. For awards shows, she often chooses long black dresses in classic styles, although she’s also been photographed in deep red and green. When she’s at a serious event, Angelina is a fan of blazers with slacks. Her clothing doesn't draw attention to itself, keeping the focus on her message and her causes.  She favors monochrome for this look as well. She’s been seen in black suits and white ones, most commonly. Because Angelina wants to be taken seriously, her business look is not too fussy. She won't wear big necklaces and usually pairs a blazer with a simple scoop-necked T-shirt. She sometimes pairs a blazer with a short skirt. When Angelina is not at a big event, you will find her dressed down. She isn’t too dolled up like she is posing for the cameras when she goes to a toy store with her children.  Wear flats. Angelina’s often seen in flats. She dresses for comfort during the day, and you won’t see her going to the grocery store wearing high heels. Nude toned ballet flats are a favorite shoe of Angelina’s, often paired with black clothing. Don’t wear too many accessories. Angelina never looks too fussy. You aren’t going to find her with big earrings or a lot of bling. She’s more likely to wear simple, but classy, diamond solitaire earrings.    Wear leather. Although you saw her in leather more before she became a mother, it’s still one of...

Article in English: Most of us can reduce caloric intake very easily by making some small changes to our diet.  Reducing portions, switching to lower fat products and eliminating sources of extra calories can make a big difference.  Here are some ideas:  Eat smaller meals. Put low fat or skim milk in your coffee or tea. Make a sandwich with mustard instead of mayonnaise. Drizzle, rather than pour salad dressing onto your salads. Order or serve gravies and sauces on the side and dip your food in them, rather than eating them poured over your food.  Skip the sauces and go for grilled meats, steamed vegetables, oil and vinegar dressings on salads. Drinking a lot of water will aid in the overall process of weight loss. Water will help flush your system and keep your digestive system regular - all of which are important if you want to lose weight. It will also keep you hydrated which will be important if you are exercising as part of your weight loss plan. Not to mention, you will lose water weight, which is water that has been retained in the body unnecessarily.   Staying hydrated will give you energy and help keep you vibrant. Drinking water is important if you will be exercising to lose weight. Drinking plenty of water will help you keep regular bowel movements, which in turn will help you lose weight and stay healthy. Multiply your weight in pounds by .66 to determine how much water (ounces) to drink daily. Then add 12 ounces (350 ml) of water for every 30 minutes you exercise or work out. Limiting your carb consumption will help you lose weight, too. Carbohydrates break down quickly in our bodies, leaving us feeling hungry again after only a short period of time.  They also signal our bodies to store fat.  Both of these are counterproductive to weight loss.  It's hard to completely eliminate carbs, so try reducing them rather than not eating any.  Avoid excessive amounts of bread. Consume only one serving a day of cereal. Limit potatoes, rice, and corn. Be careful. A low carb diet can be harmful to people with certain health...

Article in English: Most often, people take up a martial art for self-defense purposes. Daniel LaRusso did so. He was being bullied. Are you being bullied? Or are you afraid of being harassed in the future? Every single martial art will teach you how to defend yourself. Your goal will be to find a martial art that emphasizes defense techniques and breaking holds. In many ways, Jiu Jitsu is this martial art, because it uses the opponent's strength and force of attack as a weapon against him, thus enabling a stronger or bigger attacker to be subdued. When in a self-defense situation, Jiu Jitsu will help you dodge frontal attacks, escape from holds, and get the upper hand quickly. Remember that every martial arts form addresses self-defense. Some are more confrontational than others. Jiu Jitsu is a happy medium. The second most popular reason why people practice martial arts is to exercise, to transform fat into muscle, and to increase their coordination. All martial arts do this well, but depending on your own fitness goals, you might choose one martial art over another.  Kung Fu is a great all around body workout. Since Kung Fu utilizes low stances and powerful blocks, it tends to provide a full body workout. This is also one of the most disciplined forms of martial arts. While Kung Fu works all of your muscles, there are martial art styles that emphasize upper body or lower body strength and flexibility. If you’d rather work on your upper body strength, you might choose the Western Boxing style or perhaps Shotokan Karate from Japan. Alternatively, if you want your legs to be in better shape, you might choose a martial arts style with a greater emphasis on leg strength and agility like Taekwondo. Naginata today is a martial art and an art form that teaches etiquette, respect, and self-confidence. Martial arts like Naginata build confidence because they unlock potential, build muscle, and teach you new skills. Many people who first enter the dojo suffer from low self esteem or simply don’t believe in themselves. Maybe that’s why...

Article in English: Most patients have to wear a cast for 4 to 6 weeks depending on the extent of your injury and how fast you heal. While you have the cast on, your doctor will provide you with instructions to promote healing and will provide you with a sling. The basic instructions are also listed in this section. Keep your wrist elevated and make sure to rest it for at least a week after you get the cast. Keeping your wrist elevated means making sure that it is kept up above your heart. Resting your wrist means avoiding strenuous exercises or activities in which you use your wrist. You can do this by sitting in a chair and propping your wrist up with pillows. Reclining chairs work the best, but any chair or sofa will do. Water will damage the cast and can get in between your cast and arm, promoting conditions that can lead to an infection, especially if you had surgery and have an incision. If you take a shower or bath, place a plastic bag securely over the cast and tape the ends of the bag so that no water can get into the cast. Ideally you should avoid having water fall on the cast during bathing.  Some doctors advise placing a towel over the plastic bag as an extra precaution. You may want to ask a family member or friend to help you bathe or shower. You should try to keep your wrist from moving as much as possible. This means that you should avoid the activities that involve the use of your wrist. You should also avoid situations where someone could bump into your injured wrist. As an added protection, always wear your sling when you go out in public because it will keep it from moving when you walk and will alert others to the fact that you have an injury and they should make an effort not to bump into you. After a couple of days, your cast-covered arm might become itchy. The itching is usually from hair growth under the cast, minor irritation that the cast causes your skin, or from dead skin cells that are normally shed but can't because there is a cast trapping them. The orthopedist will follow the area where the pins...

Article in English: Most people aren't sensitive to the needles, but if you're sensitive to pain, you can use a numbing cream first, particularly if you have needles that are 1.0 millimeter or longer. Rub a lidocaine cream into the area, and leave it for 20 minutes before you start rolling. Wipe off any excess cream before you roll. Start on one edge of the area. Roll up it from top to bottom, avoiding the eye socket area if you're doing your face. Lift it up, and roll over the same area again, repeating 6 times in total. Move the roller over and repeat. Keep going until you've done the whole area. If you're using longer needles, such as 1.0 millimeter or higher, you may see some light bleeding. However, if you notice more than pinpricks of blood, you should stop. You may need a smaller needle. Starting at the top or bottom, roll across the area horizontally. Lift up, and roll over the same area again. Roll over it 6 times altogether. Move down or up a little bit, and repeat the process until you've done the whole area. You can also go diagonally, but that can lead to uneven needling. You can overdo it with microneedling, especially on your face. Therefore, it's a good idea to limit each rolling session to under 2 minutes if you can. Using it too often can lead to inflammation. At most, try using your derma roller 3 to 5 times a week, making sure to give your skin a break every now and then. Some people only use this treatment every 6 weeks, for instance.
