Article in English: In algebra, the steps you take must occur in a logical order, which is called the “order of operations.” This is often simplified by the mnemonic device “PEMDAS.” The letters of PEMDAS will help you know which operations to perform in order. The letters of PEMDAS stand for:  Parentheses. Exponents. Multiplication. Division. Addition. Subtraction. When you have an expression or equation that includes terms inside parentheses, you need to do whatever is inside the parentheses first. Consider the difference between 5∗3+2{\displaystyle 5*3+2} and 5∗(3+2){\displaystyle 5*(3+2)}.  Without the parentheses, the first expression , 5∗3+2{\displaystyle 5*3+2}, would become 15+2=17{\displaystyle 15+2=17}. With the parentheses, 5∗(3+2){\displaystyle 5*(3+2)}, you perform the (3+2) first, so the simplified expression becomes 5∗5=25{\displaystyle 5*5=25}. Exponents need to be performed as the next part of simplifying or solving a problem. Consider the expression 3∗22{\displaystyle 3*2^{2}}. Without the order of operations, you wouldn’t know if you should first multiply 3∗2{\displaystyle 3*2} and then square the result, so your value is 36, or if you square the 2 first, then multiply by 3. Using PEMDAS, the correct operation is:  3∗22{\displaystyle 3*2^{2}}  3∗4{\displaystyle 3*4}…..Square the 2 first.  12{\displaystyle 12}…..This is the expected result. M and D are the next two parts of PEMDAS, and they go together. After performing any exponents, you then perform multiplication or division from left to right.  3+4∗2−6/3{\displaystyle 3+4*2-6/3}  3+8−2{\displaystyle 3+8-2}…..4*2=8, and 6/3=2. These can be done in the same step. A and S are the final steps of PEMDAS. These mean that you add or subtract whatever terms remain in the expression. You can perform addition and subtraction in the same step, moving from right to left through the problem. Consider the expression 4+2−3−1−5+2{\displaystyle 4+2-3-1-5+2}:  4+2−3−1−5+2{\displaystyle 4+2-3-1-5+2}  6−3−1−5+2{\displaystyle 6-3-1-5+2}…..(Add 4+2)  3−1−5+2{\displaystyle...

Article in English: In all of your interactions, make sure that the person who is grieving is in the proper mindset to have a discussion. They may be particularly upset or dealing with another critical issue. Ask if it is a good time to talk before going on. It is also usually a good idea to talk with them one-on-one, when possible.   People can be particularly touchy about receiving gifts, even after a funeral, so approaching them when they are alone will maximize the odds of them accepting your offer of help. At the same time, don't let waiting for the "perfect" time become an excuse for not reaching out to this person. There may never be a "good" time to talk, but you should be able to identify that some times are better than others. For instance, if they are in the middle of talking with the funeral director or arguing with their child, it's probably best to wait. As soon as you learn of the death, try to reach out quickly to the person you know. You can send an email, but it is really best if you make a phone call or go to see them in person. You don't have to say too much in this first conversation, just a quick, “I'm so sorry,” followed by a positive comment about the deceased person is usually best. You can also promise to get a hold of them again shortly to check in.  It's important that your words are sincere and genuinely sympathetic. If you don't know what to say, it's okay to say something like "I wish I knew what to say. I just want you to know I'm here for you." If the person who you are talking to doesn't know you personally, make sure to offer a quick introduction letting them know how you knew the deceased. Otherwise, they may not feel comfortable talking with you. You might say, “I'm Michael Smith and I worked with Noah in the lab at NYU.” If the person who is grieving seems almost rude or is really hasty with you, don't take it personally. It is likely that they are overwhelmed and are not behaving as they usually do. There are some things you should avoid saying.  It's generally not a good idea to talk about...

Article in English: In any emergency situation, one of the most important things to remember is to stay calm. Panicking can lead to bad decisions, and in the case of a kitchen fire, bad decisions can cause the fire to spread. The best way to stay calm during an emergency is to be prepared. Know the steps you should take in case of a kitchen fire, and know where your tools are, including your fire extinguisher, blankets, first aid kits, and the nearest exit. When you notice a toaster fire, the first step to resolving the situation is cutting the power, which will remove the heat source that's causing the fire. If you can't safely get to the plug to remove it from the wall, use the fuse box to cut the power going to the outlet. Once a fire has been ignited, it needs a fuel source to continue burning, and one of those fuel sources is oxygen. To put out the fire, therefore, you have to smother the oxygen supply. You can smother a toaster fire by:  Covering it with a fire blanket or a large, wet towel.  Using a fire extinguisher. Be sure to aim the nozzle at the base of the fire.  Dousing it with baking soda or salt. Do not use flour, which can actually explode if it's heated too quickly. When a fire is too large or too out of control for you to maintain, you must immediately get yourself and your family out of the house. Once you're all in a safe place, call the fire department from a cell phone or neighbor's house. Don't try to fight the fire on your own if:  You have any doubts about your ability to contain it. The fire is spreading and you cannot contain it.  The fire is larger than a basketball. After the fire has been put out and the toaster has cooled, remove all the burnt material. If there are signs of melting, damage, or problems with the wiring or electrical components, replace the toaster.

Article in English: In any given situation, you have rights. You do not want to give up these rights because you have to interact with a difficult person. Controlling people have a way of getting inside your head and causing you to forget your basic rights as a human being. Remind yourself you deserve to be treated decently.  Everyone has the fundamental right to be treated with respect, to be allowed to express their opinions, to say "no" without feeling guilty, and have different opinions. If you've been dealing with a controlling person long term, you may have forgotten you have these rights. Before interacting with someone, remind yourself of your rights. Keep them in mind when setting boundaries. For example, a controlling boyfriend may expect you to spend time with him instead of going out with friends. If you don't want to sit at home and watch a movie one night, a controlling boyfriend will make you feel guilty for this. As you get ready to assert your boundaries, think something like, "I have the right to say 'No' to him without feeling bad." The first step to setting boundaries is to take back your control. You cannot control another person's negative actions but you can control how you personally react to them. You have choices in regards to how you approach boundaries.  Oftentimes, people take a grin and bear it approach with controlling people. You may also work on avoiding the person altogether. You may, for example, simply not go to family events if you have to see your controlling father. Break free from these patterns. Think something like, "I'm in control of whether or not I let this happen. I refuse to be a victim." Decide you're going to make the choice to assert your independence and demand respect. Controlling people are always trying to push the limits of those around them. Controlling people enjoy knowing they've broken someone's barriers. Let the controlling person know where your personal limits are. Make it clear to them which behaviors you will and will not tolerate.  Recognize when you can and cannot...

Article in English: In any situation where you will be having close conversations, bad breath can be turnoff. Brush your teeth, floss, and use mouthwash before going on your date to make your mouth as fresh and clean as possible. Drink plenty of water and stay away from coffee, garlic, and other causes of bad breath. Never skip a pre-date shower, which is a courtesy to your date and a testament to your good hygiene. Wash with warm water and keep the shower under 15 minutes to keep your skin from drying out. If you plan to shave your legs in the shower, wait until the end of the shower when your pores have had a chance to open up. Wear an outfit for your date that makes you feel comfortable and confident, and reflects your personality. For a casual date, wear something that is slightly nicer than your regular clothes. If the date is fancier, wear a nice dress, jumpsuit, or skirt and blouse combination and aim to look both sexy and classy.

Article in English: In applicable situations, the first thing you should do for fires involving flammable liquids is to turn the fuel supply off. For instance, if a static discharge ignites gasoline around a fuel pump, the first thing you should do is hit the emergency shutoff valve located nearby at all pumping stations. This act severs the small fire from the very large fuel sources around it. In many instances where the flammable liquid is the only fuel source, the fire may extinguish itself as soon as you cut the fuel supply. You can also use a fire blanket on small Class B fires. If a fire blanket is readily available, this can be the easiest, least damaging method to extinguish it.  To use a fire blanket, remove from its packing, grip the unfolded blanket in front of you with your hands and body protected by it, and drape the blanket over the small fire. Do NOT throw the blanket at the fire. Ensure the fire is not too large for the blanket to smother it. Vegetable oil igniting in a frying pan, for instance, is a small enough fire for a fire blanket. As with electrical fires, water-based (Class A) fire extinguishers should not be used on liquid or oil fires. Carbon dioxide (CO2) and dry chemical fire extinguishers will have a Class B rating. Check the label on the extinguisher and ensure that it says Class B before using it on a flammable liquid fire.  To use the extinguisher, pull any pin stopping you from depressing the handle, point the horn at the base of the fire, and hold down the handle. As you see the flames shrinking, approach the source and continue spraying until the fire is fully extinguished.  If you cannot extinguish the fire within five seconds of using the extinguisher, then it’s too large. Evacuate to a safe place and call 911. The only exception to this rule when the liquid fire stems from vegetable oil or animal fats in commercial-size deep fryers and other restaurant equipment. The large size and extreme heat and fuel source of these devices get their own classification for fire extinguishers—Class K...

Article in English: In between soaking your foot in the vinegar mix, make sure that the area stays clean and dry. The fungus that causes athlete’s foot loves moist areas, so having damp feet can mean that the infection will get worse or will come back.  A great way to keep your feet dry is to wear socks made of natural fabrics or fabrics that wick moisture away from your feet. Change your socks if they get wet. Consider wearing sandals or flip-flops in hot weather. Wear shower shoes, flip-flops or sandals around pools, gyms, hotel rooms, and shower or locker areas. Fungus is a pesky organism that won’t go away without a fight. It stays in your shoes and on your towels after your infected foot has touched them. Because of this, it is important to disinfect anything that your foot has touched while it has been infected. Rinse your shoes (yes, even the inside) with water and let them air dry in the sun. After they have dried, sprinkle anti-fungal powder into them to make sure that the fungus doesn’t come back. Athlete's foot occurs most often due to a combination of sweaty feet and tight-fitting, confining shoes. Don’t buy shoes that feel too tight and hope they will stretch out. To prevent athlete’s foot, you want shoes that are both long and wide enough. This will ensure that your shoes are dry when you put them on.

Article in English: In business situations, you may have to use a standard greeting, like "Dear so-and-so." However, more and more, personalized emails are becoming standard. Some email greetings that can help you strike a friendly tone from the start include:  Hi John Hi there Long time no see Hey! If you just stick to the reminder, your message might come across as cold. Reference your personal connection to the recipient by including phrases that reflect on your friendship and shared experiences. These might include:  How's school been going? My friend, how have you been? I had such a great time with you last weekend. When was the last time we talked, a month ago? That trip we took together was a blast! We'll have to do it again soon. This is especially important for the reminder part of the email. If it's been a while since you've been in touch with the recipient, it may be suitable to offer a light apology or excuse for only getting in touch for the sake of a reminder. Some examples of softened expressions include:  I know it's been a while since we've talked, but I wanted to remind you about... Things have been so hectic with the new baby, I only just remembered to remind you... I know you've been busy, so I didn't want to pester you, but I wanted to send a reminder... If the reminder is important, it's easy to come across too strong. Keep in mind that the recipient has things going on in their life. Remember to say "please" and "thank you" and equivalent expressions as well. You might include polite phrases like:  Sorry to bother you, but I wanted to make sure... If you could please reply to this email as soon as you have time... Thanks for taking time to read any reply to this reminder. I appreciate it. I'll look forward to your response.

Article in English: In certain scenarios, odds for a given event will change based on the results of past events. For example, if you have a jar full of twenty marbles, four of which are red and sixteen of which are green, you'll have 4 : 16  (1 : 4) odds to draw a red marble at random. Let's say you draw a green marble. If you don't put the marble back into the jar, on your next attempt, you'll have 4 : 15 odds to draw a red marble. Then, if you draw a red marble, you'll have 3 : 15 (1 : 5) odds on the following attempt. Drawing a red marble is a  dependent event  - the odds  depend  on which marbles have been drawn before.   Independent events  are events whose odds aren't effected by previous events. Flipping a coin and getting a heads is an independent event - you're not more likely to get a heads based on whether you got a heads or a tails last time. If we roll one die, it's equally likely that we'll get any of the numbers 1 - 6. However, if we roll  two  dice and add their numbers together, though there's a chance we'll get anything from 2 to 12, not every outcome is equally likely. There's only one way to make 2 - by rolling two 1's - and there's only one way to make 12 - by rolling two 6's. By contrast, there are many ways to make a seven. For instance, you could roll a 1 and a 6, a 2 and a 5, a 3 and a 4, and so on. In this case, the odds for each sum should reflect the fact that some outcomes are more likely than others.  Let's do an example problem. To calculate the odds of rolling two dice with a sum of four (for instance, a 1 and a 3), begin by calculating the total number of outcomes. Each individual dice has six outcomes. Take the number of outcomes for each die to the power of the number of dice:  6(number of sides on each die)2(number of dice) = 36 possible outcomes.  Next, find the number of ways you can make four with two dice: you can roll a 1 and a 3, a 2 and a 2, or a 3 and a 1 - three ways. So the odds of rolling a combined "four" with two dice are  3 : (36-3) = 3 : 33 = 1 : 11   Odds change  exponentially...

Article in English: In checkers, the person who has more kings also has the advantage. Try to crown as many pieces as possible to increase your chances of winning the game.  To put this advice into practice, advance a piece toward an area on your board where your opponent has fewer pieces, or pieces that are more spread out. If you can protect this piece with nearby pieces and sacrifices, then you have a good chance at making a king. See Intermediate Strategies below for how to "redirect the enemy" and sneak through a king. It's impossible for your opponent to crown his or her pieces if your back row is occupied, so this strategy will prevent your opponent from getting the advantage too soon in the game. You will also have more movement options left when you do start moving your back row pieces. Remember that you won't be able to keep your back row intact forever. Once you're low on pieces or you see an opportunity for an advantageous trade, don't hesitate to move out.

Article in English: In college courses, teacher evaluations carry a lot of weight toward professors winning awards, receiving tenure, or simply feeling that they do a good job. An anonymous but impactful way to thank your teacher is to leave them a detailed positive evaluation specifying exactly what you loved about their course and what their dedication meant to you. Many schools have superlative awards like "Favorite Teacher" or "Best Art Teacher." Colleges have similar awards that are partially student voted or nominated like “Outstanding Physics Department Faculty” or "Outstanding Adjunct Faculty." Do some investigative work if your teacher really went above and beyond and nominate them for an award. This will mean a lot to them and is a great way to thank them. Put some effort into maintaining a relationship with teachers you admire and learned a lot from. Send them an email on occasion or even stop by their classroom or office to see if they have a minute to chat. Staying in touch demonstrates the effect they had on you and your learning. This is especially applicable in college where you’re likely to have a major project or paper as part of your curriculum. Usually you can dedicate these to someone of your choice. If you had a teacher who influenced your choice of major, specialization, or direction in college, then you might want to consider dedicating a college accomplishment to them. For example, if you had a History teacher, high school or college, who really got you interested in the Battle of Gettysburg and you end up writing your senior thesis or Master’s thesis on that subject, then it would be appropriate (but not required!) for you to dedicate that project to them. This is a great way to show your teacher not only that you appreciate them, but also that what you learned in their class stuck with you over the years.

Article in English: In fact, no talking at all except when required by another rule, to call a point of order, or when in the middle of a point of order. Counterintuitive as this seems, you have to do it when mandated or else you'll receive another penalty card. The game is similar to Uno in this respect, because you have to alert all the other players that you're close to winning, and if you don't you can be penalized. Additionally, no playing out of turn or trying to call a penalty on another player if that player hasn't broken any rules--if you're going to disrupt the game, it's better not to play at all.  If a player unintentionally inflicts a penalty on another player because they themselves do not fully understand the rules, any other player except the one penalized can inflict a penalty card on the first player for "inflicting an incorrect penalty". They will then end their turn by adding this card to their hand. A point of order occurs when the game comes to a halt so the players can confer and discuss to clarify certain things about the game, although they still cannot talk about the rules directly. Points of order are an important part of the Mao process, and come with their own rules, which are:  Do not refer to the point of order directly by name (you can get around this by calling it "P of O", for example, or simply "point order", eliminating the "of") Players must not look at their cards during a Point of order.  If they are still holding their cards after someone calls a Point of order, they can be penalized. The point of order ends when someone calls "point of disorder", "point taken", or even just "pick up your cards" In some variations, only the dealer can start and end points of order; however, you can allow anyone to do so in your game In another variation, point of order must be said before and after you speak during play. Players who do not do so will be penalized for "speaking out of turn."

Article in English: In general, selection of the topic will be helped by some or all of the following:  You're passionate about the topic. You could write on it until the cows come home and then some. It's a really popular topic, either currently (get moving then) or perennially (always have a unique angle though). You already know your characters inside out and think you've met them personally. Writing about them will be a breeze. You have a plethora of current day fixations, addictions and fascinations in your notebook, waiting to fly off the page and accost your characters and mess up their lives. People love to be able to connect with the everyday stuff that rankles, perplexes and overwhelms. It's something you're an expert at/in. Or you are willing to research it to death. Nicer still if you have a certificate or degree or oodles of experience to back up this expertise and/or research. It helps people feel that you're reliable. You have the phone numbers of experts you can call on to ask questions about when you're stuck or feel like making it up. You like what you're writing about. If not, you're very good at standing in the shoes of different perspectives and you're able to remain objective. How long you can keep that up will determine how successful you'll be at getting the book completed.

Article in English: In general, you will want at least two shades: a lighter base shade and a darker lid shade. These can be similar or completely different colors. As with other types of powder makeup, eyeshadow can come in compacts as pressed powder or in small jars as a loose powder. Loose eyeshadows tend to be more vibrant but difficult to work with. These often contain pigment without binders and are therefore also called simply "pigments." Picking a fine pencil brush will be easier to work with. However, wider brushes can be used when shading a large area, such as your entire lid. Shadow brushes with a rounded tip are generally best when working with loose pigment. You may also choose to use a sponge applicator instead, but blending with these takes a lot more time.

Article in English: In large part, minimalism is actually a practice in mindfulness. The act of ridding yourself of possessions is a turn away from the materialism, consumerism, and distractions of our world today. Consider the following benefits of minimalist living:  Less focus on material items for personal fulfillment Reduced stress about how much money you earn Less clutter, and more free space A harried social life goes against the fundamental goals of minimalism - to declutter, destress, and refocus. Take the initiative and eliminate toxic relationships from your life,  focusing instead on the people who contribute to a happy state of being for you.

This minimalist move will reduce the number of alerts and notifications you receive during the day, which can grow to be excessive and stressful. If you do not feel comfortable getting rid of applications, turn off notifications and check in for updates at your leisure. There are numerous communities, online and in countries like the U.S., Canada, Australia, Ireland, and the U.K., centered around the minimalist way of life. Local meetup groups are held in these countries - they offer a unique opportunity to meet other people living the minimalist lifestyle, and to learn more from them. Check for meetings in your area, or look for an online community to reach out to other minimalists.

Article in English: In many cases, changing the way you think about something can alter the way you feel about it, too. This type of cognitive shift may not happen overnight, but with regular practice you can change your frame of mind to appreciate the experiences you've had, rather than mourning the inevitable return to your daily life.  Try to see the enjoyable moments of your trip as part of a lifelong series of new experiences and lasting memories. Be grateful that you had the chance to experience your vacation. Remember that many people cannot afford to travel or are limited by other life factors. While you may not be able to jet set across the globe every week, you can incorporate some of the things you enjoyed into your home life. If you really enjoyed the cuisine on your trip, make a point of learning to cook dishes from that culture at home. If you loved hearing and speaking a foreign language, commit to taking language or culture classes at a local community college.  By infusing your home life with elements of your trip, you can keep the excitement and sense of discovery alive wherever you live. Bringing back elements of your trip can also help you grow as a person and expand your sense of identity and culture. Just be sure that you're respectful of the cultural elements you bring back, as appropriating certain elements of culture is generally considered offensive in many societies. If you find yourself truly unhappy and unfulfilled when you're back at home, perhaps you're not just missing your vacation. Vacations are fun because they offer a break from the tedium and familiarity of life, but if you're miserable being at work or at home, you may want to consider making changes to feel happier. Doing this may help you see the good things in your life and eliminate the things that make you unhappy, like your job or your current neighborhood.  Give yourself at least 3 days before committing to any huge life decisions. You may find your everyday life not so horrible after settling back into a routine. Don't rush into any...

Article in English: In many cases, you want to have a pen pal that has some common interests, so share a few things that you really enjoy and ask if they also like those things. To keep it simple for the first letter, you could mention broad interests like, “I enjoy outdoor activities,” or “I like going to events like concerts and plays.” You can be specific as well by mentioning the bands you life, parks you visit, or telling of an event you visited, but have a mix of general likes and specific likes. For a first letter, it is great to give the reader a few specific points that you would be interested in learning about them. This gives them a little bit of a head start for their first letter back to you. Don't get too personal for the first letter like, “What is the worst thing that has ever happened to you?” Stick with something simple like “What do you like to do on weekends?” A fun option can be including a small questionnaire that you've written up that has questions and blanks for the person to write their answers. This could have some questions like “What is a book you like?” or “What's a favorite food you have?” They don't have to be serious or meaningful, they could be silly questions like “What animal would you want to be?” When you choose a pen pal, there's a good chance you will have somewhat different lives, especially if they are in another country. Giving them an idea of what you do most days reveals some of your experiences to them.  This also gives them something to write back to you telling their own experiences. If the person is in another country, you could tell them you have wondered if kids in their country do the same stuff that you do. It will build a feeling of companionship between you. It also gives them the chance to tell you about their day, which could surprise you by being really similar or really different.

Article in English: In many cases, you will only need to worry about cleaning your bedroom or dorm room. In some cases, however, you might also be responsible for the dorm hallways, bathroom, or kitchen area, in which instance, you will need to buy cleaning supplies for these areas, as well. A vacuum cleaner, broom, and mop should all be on your college shopping list. Invest in a mini-vacuum cleaner, especially if you are only in charge of a small space like your dorm room. You will almost always need to wash your own clothes. Stock up on laundry detergent and invest in a hamper.  Buy a collapsible hamper to save room. Purchase fabric softener in either liquid or dry sheet form. Disinfectant wipes are advisable, regardless of how much you will be expected to clean. Having disinfectant wipes and sprays can help reduce the spread of germs, which is very important in a compact space like a dorm room. Also bring along dish soap and glass cleaner, as well as clean rags that can be used for scrubbing.

Article in English: In many cases, you'll get better results if you start with a drill bit a little smaller than the final hole size. Drill a shallow "pilot hole," then switch to the larger bit to finish the job. The pilot hole will help prevent your drill bit from slipping, and reduces the chance of splitting wood or other damage. Very brittle materials such as ceramic and glass require extra care. Make a small "X" in masking tape where you want the hole, to help prevent slipping and chipping. Instead of drilling the pilot hole, place the drill bit over the X, then gently tap it with a hammer to create a small dent. Hold the drill steady and push it into the material you're drilling. If it takes more than light force to drill the hole, you're probably using the wrong bit. Each drill has a twistable collar to adjust the torque, often with a series of numbers on it. The higher the number, the more torque (rotational force) the drill will apply. If you are having trouble penetrating the material, increase the torque. If you are over-driving screws (burying them too deep), or if drilling too deep could damage something, lower the torque. Some models mark the highest torque with a drill bit icon. If you are drilling through hard materials or drilling at high speeds, the drill bit will encounter an immense amount of friction. This can rapidly overheat the bit, to the point where it becomes red hot or burns the material you're drilling. Start at low drill speeds, and only increase the speed if the drill isn't moving smoothly. If you're drilling through hard materials, or drilling many holes in any material, stick to slow speeds and pause occasionally to give the bit a few seconds to cool down.  When drilling glass, ceramic, or stone, give the bit a steady supply of water to keep it cool. One way to do this is to build a "dam" out of putty or modeling clay around your drilling area. Fill the area with water so it flows down into the hole. "Pump" the bit up and down so the water can reach the tip.  Even if the drill bit doesn't look...

Article in English: In many states you are in your full right to shoot the person, but this, for most people, is a bit drastic. You should decide ahead of time (even before you own a firearm for personal defense) what your personal morals will allow you to do in this and other situations. Read some information on tactical mindsets if you need help deciding. You need to give fair warning before shooting.  If you have identified the intruder, and they have already tried to harm you, you may not need to provide additional warning. Keep in mind there may be more than one adversary in the house; additionally, being shot is not synonymous with dying, so keep yourself behind cover as much as possible. Chances are you are unsure of who your adversary is or do not know his intentions. (Realize an intruder may mask their intentions — and someone who broke into your house is probably not there to borrow sugar.) Present yourself, by surprise if possible, and order the target with short, firm phrases. Once you have gotten your targets attention with "STOP!" "Hands in the air!" try directing the intruder by saying "Face away from me!" and "Get on your knees!"  Having him face away from you and keeping him on his knees prevents him from retaliating against you, and keeps him from moving anywhere quickly without a good deal of movement. If he has a firearm in his hand, be sure to tell him to drop it! If he does not comply immediately, he is only contemplating the best way to shoot you with it. Re-emphasize the point with "...else I will shoot you!", then take appropriate action. If he decides to slowly set it down, tell him to "STOP!" and "DROP IT!" There have been many police shootings which involved a person slowly setting down a gun, then changing their mind and shooting the police instead.  It will take at least 1/8th of a second from the time they start to bring up their firearm until your brain can react.  This is plenty of time for them to fire before you know what is going on. Do the right thing and eliminate the threat. Hesitating will...

Article in English: In many ways, a pet store is the most convenient route to purchasing a guinea pig. You can select and bring home your guinea pig on the same day without the wait and hassle you might encounter with a rescue. However, pet stores also have a number of drawbacks and many guinea pig owners advise against using them. You might end up with an unhealthy and poorly behaved pet.  One downside to pet stores, or department stores that sell guinea pigs and other small cage animals, is that workers are oftentimes not knowledgable about pet needs. Guinea pigs may be kept in poor conditions and workers might be unable to answer basic questions about caring for your new pet. Pet store guinea pigs are also often mislabeled in terms of breed and gender, so you won't know exactly what you're getting.  A more reliable pet shop route would be well-known retailers such as a local pet store with a solid reputation. In these types of stores, workers generally have some knowledge of guinea pig care. There is usually more of a process for adoption and you'll be provided information on guinea pig health, care, upkeep, and socialization. Prices vary depending on season, but guineas usually go for $30 to $60.  Understand that pet stores shouldn't necessarily be your first option. They are notorious for selling improperly cared for guinea pigs and there are plenty of reports of customers buying pregnant or mixed sexed guinea pigs whilst being completely unaware. Most tend to sell equipment that are not suitable for guinea pigs too! Restrain from buying from a pet store unless you know they hold a good reputation. Guinea pig rescues help re-home guinea pigs that have been abandoned by former owners. Rescues tend to be more committed to finding quality homes for their pets, so you'll be taught how to care for your guinea pig if you go through a rescue.  Websites like petfinder.com can help you locate guinea pigs in need of new homes in your area. Also, many animal shelters take guinea pigs and other exotic pets. Check shelters in your area...

Article in English: In most cases it's fine to stop after honing, but if you want the chisels to be even sharper, you can add a micro bevel. It's essentially a miniature second bevel created at the tip of the bevel. This is an unnecessary step unless you're doing work that requires extreme precision. To create a micro bevel, adjust the honing guide to an angle 5 degrees tighter than the previous angle you honed, and repeat the honing process using only the finest grit. You only need to do a few strokes on the finest grit to create a microbevel, since you're taking off so little metal. Some people like to finish with stropping, which gives the chisel a nice polish. Tape a piece of leather to a flat surface and cover it with an even layer of polishing compound. Rub the flat side of the chisel against the compound a few times, then rub the bevel (or microbevel) against it a few times. Wipe the blade when you're finished.

Article in English: In office chairs, the best way to sit is to let the shaped back support your back and shoulders by scooting your hips back as far as they go, then adjusting the other components of the chair to offer support.  If you're sitting in a straight, hard-backed chair, scoot your bottom up to the edge of the chair and sit without slouching into the back of that chair. Sit with your back and shoulders as straight as if they were supported by the chair back. Over time, this is a more comfortable position for your back, neck, and shoulders. If you're sitting in a lounge chair or a couch, it's important to keep your feet flat on the floor and your back straight. Your shoulders should be back and you should be as far forward on the couch as possible. Wherever and however you're sitting, it's important to keep your shoulders back to avoid slouching or hunching your back as you sit. Over time, this can strain your neck and shoulders, leading to chronic pain and headaches.  Don't lean your chair backward or slouch yourself forward while you're sitting, or you can strain your sciatic nerve and your shoulder muscles. This serves to keep you off-balance. It is good to rock gently, if possible, if you're going to be sitting for a longer time. This helps to keep the body active and balanced. The seat of your chair should be high enough so that your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are even with your hips, or slightly lower. If you sit too low in the chair, you can end up straining your neck, while if you sit too high, your shoulders can get tired over time. If you need to adjust your seat so that it is higher, you may find that your feet don't comfortably reach the ground. Try putting a stool, cushion, or another object under your feet. Ideally, the back of a passive reclining chair shouldn't be perfectly straight, but angled backward gently beyond the 90 degree mark. This is much more comfortable and supportive for your back than a perfectly straight back. Good passive office chairs should offer some lumbar support,...

Article in English: In order for you to be able to access your website, you'll need to have MAMP up and running on your host computer. You cannot connect to your website if MAMP (or your host computer) is turned off. A static IP address will ensure that your computer's IP address doesn't change, thus making sure that your website's address remains consistent:   Open your router's page. Log in if necessary. Find the list of currently connected computers. Find your computer's name. Select the Reserve or Lock option next to your computer's IP address. . This will involve opening your router's "Port Forwarding" section, adding the port you used for Apache when configuring MAMP, and saving your settings. You can see the port Apache uses by clicking Preferences... in the MAMP dashboard, clicking the Ports tab, and looking at the number next to the "Apache" heading. The easiest way to do this is by opening Google, typing in what is my ip, and pressing ↵ Enter. You should see your computer's public IP address at the top of the search results. To prevent conflicts between your network's local host and the public IP address, try connecting to your website using a different computer than your host computer on a different network. Using a computer on a different network, open a web browser, type in the public IP address of the host computer, type a colon (:), type the Apache port number, and press ↵ Enter. This should take you to the website. For example, if the host computer's public IP address is "123.456.78.901" and you're using port 81 for Apache, you'd type in 123.456.78.901:81 and press ↵ Enter.

Article in English: In order to avoid potential awkwardness, ensure to title the invites only to the intended guests. For example, if you’re not inviting children, title the invite “Mr & Mrs Smith.” This gives a clear indication of who is invited.  Include clear instructions on how-to RSVP. This includes what date to respond by and how. Consider sending postage-paid envelopes or setting up an e-RSVP to save time for yourself and your guests. Stay on top of your RSVP list. Whether you ask your betrothed or a member of the bridal party to maintain the list, it’s important to know how the number of guests is looking. If you’re somehow ending up with more guests than intended, it’s better to approach the self-invited guests sooner rather than later. Having a stress-free wedding is all about delegating, delegating, delegating, and the wedding party is there to help, not to just look pretty. When your bridal party comes to mind, assign tasks related to interest. If you’ve got a friend that can cook up a storm, invite her to the food tasting. Perhaps you have a gal pal that can turn a streamer into a work of art, ask her to help decorate.  Up the ante by asking your fiance and the groomsmen to help. Rather than assuming they don’t want to intrude on your domain, ask them to ensure your day remains exactly that. Suggest they plan transportation for the day, assist in decorating venues, or run small errands like dry cleaning and flower pickup. Menial tasks such as closing envelopes or cutting up invitations can be easily turned into a fun party. Invite your wedding party over for some low-stress pizza, and tackle a hefty list as a group. You’ll find that with a team of helpers you’re able to whittle down an overwhelming list in no time. When it comes to picking food and alcohol for a wedding, you won’t regret choosing the option you like best. After you have finality on your guest list, determine what kind of food you’d like to have. Be cautious on choosing foods guests may be sensitive towards. For example, you may love raw oysters,...

Article in English: In order to be authentic, simply be yourself in all social and interpersonal contexts. It can be tempting to act the way you think others want you to act, or to posture and act like you have an inflated ego in order to impress new acquaintances. However, these behaviors are not authentic, and other people will see through them quickly. Of course, it's only natural to slightly modify your behavior and vocabulary around certain people. You talk to your boss differently than you talk to your partner or spouse. Honesty is a key component of authenticity. If lying is a routine part of your behavior, eventually your friends and other people in your life will catch on. Most likely, they'll find your lies very inauthentic. You can remain authentic despite a lie or two, depending on the circumstance. For example, if you attend a dinner party but find the food distasteful, it's okay to say, “I'm not very hungry; I'll only have a salad.” Build trust and respect with other people. A key sign of authenticity is the ability to form and maintain lasting friendships, as well as romantic and professional relationships. Long-term relationships are not built overnight but are rewarding and self-affirming.  Inauthentic people are often unable to maintain long-term relationships. Inauthentic behaviors, like putting on airs, telling lies, or not having consistent personal values, can prevent lasting relationships from forming. Learn to be okay with being rejected. If you don't have a fear of rejection, it will be easier to maintain a relationship.

Article in English: In order to become a Canadian citizen, the obvious first step is to move to Canada. However, you can't just pack up your belongings, scale the Niagara, plop down, and start counting the days (unfortunately, the government frowns on that). After your tourist visa is up (6 months), you'll need to have some sort of work/school permit (or be married to a Canadian) to stay on that side of the Commonwealth. Apply for whatever you qualify for while you're still in your home country. Often the processing takes practically forever. The sooner you start, the better. You will receive a 1/2 day credit for every day you live in Canada prior to becoming a permanent resident, for the record. After all the paperwork is completed, move to Canada! If all your ducks are in a row, this won't be an issue. You can now worry about the finer things, like getting a moving van and signing a lease. Be prepared to show all types of ID and proof of your current legal residency status -- otherwise everything you're doing is illegal. " That's what the Permanent Resident Card is informally known as. If you're on a student visa or a working visa or some other type that allows you in Canada for a specific amount of time, you'll need to upgrade. Your Maple Leaf Card will let you stay in Canada for an indefinite amount of time. There's obviously necessary paperwork to fill out, fees to pay, and time to wait when it comes to this. It's also a mandatory step -- you cannot go from staying in Canada on a temporary visa to becoming a citizen. Visit Canada's citizenship and immigration website for official information. Once you're a permanent resident, you need to be able to prove that you've been in Canada for 1,460 days out of the past 6 years (that's 4 years). It does not have to be 1,460 consecutive days. So long as you're there for 4 out of the past 6 years, you're good to go. And yes, they will look at your passport, deciphering it until the moose come home.

Article in English: In order to buy Bitcoins, you first need to create a storage site for your Bitcoins, and this is the first step to purchasing Bitcoin. Currently, there are two ways you can store Bitcoins online:  Store the keys to your Bitcoins in an online wallet. The wallet is a computer file that will store your money, similar to a real wallet. You can create a wallet by installing the Bitcoin client, which is software which powers the currency. However, if your computer is hacked by a virus or hackers or if you misplace the files, you may lose your Bitcoins. Always back up your wallet to an external hard drive to avoid losing your Bitcoins. Store your Bitcoins via a third party. You can also create a wallet by using an online wallet via a third party site like Coinbase or blockchain.info, which will store your Bitcoins in the cloud. This is easier to set up, but you will be trusting a third party with your Bitcoins. These sites are two of the larger and more reliable third party sites, but there are no guarantees about the security of these sites. One of the most popular and cheapest options for keeping your Bitcoins safe is a paper wallet. The wallet is small, compact, and made of paper that has a code. One of the benefits of a paper wallet is the private keys to the wallet are not stored digitally. So it cannot be subject to cyber attacks or hardware failures.  Several online sites offer paper Bitcoin wallet services. They can generate a Bitcoin address for you and create an image containing two QR codes. One is the public address you can use to receive Bitcoins and the other is a private key, which you can use to spend Bitcoins stored at that address. The image is printed on a long piece of paper that you can then fold in half and carry with you. Hard-wire wallets are very limited in number and can be difficult to acquire. They are dedicated devices that can hold private keys electronically and facility payments. Hard-wire wallets are usually small and compact and some are shaped like USB sticks.

Article in English: In order to connect to an Internet network, the network's modem must be connected to an Internet output (e.g., a cable outlet), and your router must be connected to the modem. Both units must be turned on.  Some modems include a built-in router. If you don't need the Internet to be available to wireless items or users on your network, you don't need to use the router—you can connect your computer directly to the modem instead. Ethernet cables are used to connect network items (e.g., your computer or a router) to a modem or a connected router. You can find Ethernet cables in most stores which sell electronics, or you can look online in places like Amazon and Best Buy.  Make sure the Ethernet cable you buy is long enough to stretch from your router or modem to your computer if you can't move your computer. Your Ethernet cable shouldn't be longer than 100 meters, and 90 meters is commonly accepted as the maximum effective length. Ethernet ports are square holes found in the back of your router and modem. The Ethernet port that you can use on your router usually has "Internet" or "Ethernet" written above or next to it. Your router may have multiple ports available.  Modems usually only have one "Internet" port which is usually used to connect the router to the modem. If you're connecting your computer directly to the modem on a network that uses a separate router, unplug the router from the modem's Ethernet port before proceeding. Find the square Ethernet port on your computer. If your computer has an Ethernet port, it's probably on one of the computer's sides (laptop) or on the back of the computer's tower (desktop). If your computer doesn't have an Ethernet port, you'll need to buy a USB-to-Ethernet adapter for your computer. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into a free port on your router or modem, then plug the other end of the cable into your computer's Ethernet port.  Ethernet cables' ends are interchangeable, so it doesn't matter which end you plug into the computer or the router. If your PC doesn't have...

You can't browse servers from within Minecraft; instead, you'll be searching for servers using your web browser. There are several sites that specialize in server listings, and many popular servers have their own websites. Some of the biggest server listing sites include:  MinecraftServers.org MinecraftForum.net Server section PlanetMinecraft.com Server section It will look something like mc.wubcraft.com or 148.148.148.148. It also may have a port on the end displayed as :25565. There are several things you'll want to pay attention to when selecting a server. Different servers offer wildly-different experiences, and most will have descriptions that you can read. Look for a few important details before picking a server to try:  Game type - While many servers offer the standard Minecraft gameplay, there are lots of servers with all kinds of game modes. These range from capture the flag to in-character role-playing, and everything in between. Whitelist - If a server operates a whitelist, it only accepts users that have been registered. This usually means you'll need to create an account on the server's website in order to connect. Population - This is the number of people currently playing, as well as the maximum number of people. Keep in mind that you may not actually be playing with all of these people. Servers often split large populations onto multiple servers. PvP - This stands for "Player vs. Player", and means that players can attack each other. These can be tough servers if you're new to the game. Uptime - This is how often the server is online and available. If you plan to play online a lot, you'll want to find a server with an uptime of 95% or better. To connect to a server, you'll need to type in the server's IP address. You can find this IP address in the server listing. The IP will be groups of letters and/or numbers separated by periods.

Article in English: In order to determine when sexual intercourse will most likely result in pregnancy, it is useful to know when you are most fertile. Fertility is highest during ovulation, and charting your cycle can help determine when ovulation usually occurs within your cycle.  The first day of your period, mark the number "1" on the calendar for that day. The first day of your next period, mark a "1" on the calendar that day, and mark the number of days in your last cycle on the day prior. Ovulation (releasing an egg from the ovary) typically occurs during the midpoint of your cycle. For example, in a typical 28 day cycle, ovulation tends to occur on day 14.  In a 30 day cycle, ovulation should be expected on day 15. You can begin attempts to get pregnant before the end of your first cycle of course. Obviously, you should quit birth control before you try to get pregnant. Have sex more frequently within a few days of this midpoint to increase chances of pregnancy. Ovulation predictor kits (OPK sticks) are a commonly-used device that can determine when a woman is ovulating to help time sex.  Start using OPK sticks two days before the midpoint of your cycle, and continue using them until you either have a positive result or start your next cycle. Use them once per day. Cheap, generic sticks are usually adequate. They look like pregnancy tests and you can either pee on the wick at the end or immerse it in pee in a cup (read the actual instructions). Try to use the OPK sticks at the same time each day. Ovulation can vary widely between cycles and different women. Mark your OPK test results on the calendar for each day. It's important to know that they detect something called the LH surge (luteinizing hormone) from the pituitary gland in your brain that tells your ovaries it is time to ovulate.  It doesn't happen immediately however, the LH surge precedes actual ovulation by 24 to 36 hours. Have sex after a positive OPK test. Because the OPK test will register as positive prior to actual ovulation, you can wait up to 12 hours...

Article in English: In order to find molarity, you need to calculate the number of moles of solute for a solution per liter of solution. Milliliters cannot be used. The general formula used to express molarity is written as: molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution Example problem: What is the molarity of a solution containing 1.2 moles CaCl2 in 2905 milliliters? Calculating molarity requires you to have the number of moles and the number of liters. If you are provided with the volume in milliliters instead of liters, you will need to convert the volume into liters before continuing your calculations. Example problem:  Moles = 1.2 mol CaCl2  Volume =  2905 ml Find the number of liters by dividing the number of milliliters by 1000, since there are 1000 milliliters per 1 liter. Note that you could also simply move the decimal point to the left three places. Example problem: 2905 ml * (1 L / 1000 ml) = 2.905 L Now that you have the number of liters, you can divide the number of moles of solute by this value in order to find the molarity of the solution. Example problem: molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution = 1.2 mol CaCl2 / 2.905 L = 0.413080895 Round off the number of digits after the decimal point to the amount requested by your instructor (usually two or three places). When you write out the answer, you should also abbreviate “molarity” with “M,” and state the solute. Example problem: 0.413 M CaCl2

Article in English: In order to get the most out of your nap, you will need to find a peaceful and quiet place where you will not be disturbed by others.   Napping at work: A survey by the National Sleep Foundation found that about 30% of people are allowed to sleep at work, and some employers even provide a place for employees to nap. If your place of employment isn't nap-friendly, you can take a power-nap in your car.  Napping on the road: If you're driving, find a rest area to park in. Don't park on the shoulder. Always turn off the car and set the emergency brake. If it's night-time, park in a well-lit area with plenty of people around and lock all of your doors.  Napping at school: If you have the time, and are allowed to,try using the library as a good place to nap. It is usually the quietest place at school. Then after, you can also nap in your car, if you have one. By blocking out the light, you will fall asleep faster. If you cannot get to a dark room, wear a sleep mask or at least a pair of sunglasses to provide some semblance of darkness. You want your napping to be comfortable, so look for a cool, but comfortable place to nap. Most people sleep best around 65° F or 18° C. If your napping place is too cold, have a blanket ready or a comfortable jacket you can put on. If your napping place is too warm, consider placing a fan in the room, if possible. There are many videos, recordings, and apps that will guide you through relaxation techniques for napping. These may be found online through streaming websites or you can download them to a phone or tablet.  If you are using your phone for a guided nap, put it on airplane mode. This will prevent phone calls or message alerts from disrupting you. Relaxing music can put you in the right state of mind. If you find music distracting, you can also try white noise. If you are in your car, you can turn your radio to the static between stations and use that.

Article in English: In order to get your stomach going on the "Oh, I'm eating!" hormone, preface your meals with a glass or two of water. Then, when the food comes in, your stomach will tell you you're fuller sooner. For the record, water has absolutely zero calories. Win.  In fact, drinking more water can speed along weight loss. Studies show that it increases metabolism by up to 30% (that's two glasses of cold water) for around an hour immediately after being consumed. If done regularly, that's losing five pounds a year just drinking water.  Drink water during your meals, too! It will add to your body's perceived level of fullness and you'll want to stop sooner. Not to mention it's great for your hair, nails and skin! That glass of water did not do the trick? Then opt for fruit or veggies that are mostly water. An apple or any vegetable that's green or orange, really. The texture and bit of extra pizzazz (at least when compared to boring ol' water) will curb your appetite while not packing on too many extra calories. Snacking is good for you when it's just a snack! A good, crisp crunch can be a very satisfying thing. Apples are way more satisfying than applesauce or apple juice. So if you nibble on something, choose something you have to actually chew (like carrots, too). But research says grapefruits are appetite suppressants, too! That's because it can literally tell your brain you're full. What happens when you eat two donuts for breakfast? An hour later, your brain is wondering where the real food is -- the food with protein. While fat can blast the cravings away, protein is better than carbs and fat at making you feel full longer.  Eggs, legumes, nuts, and fish are all great sources of protein. If you're snacking, just make sure that handful of nuts isn't sugar-coated and doesn't turn into a whole jar! A protein-filled breakfast can make you eat less throughout the day. You may think you're cutting calories by skipping it, but your body unconsciously makes up for it by eating more during the later hours. Multiple studies...

Article in English: In order to lose weight, you must expend more calories than you consume. When you have a caloric deficit, your body consumes energy stored in fat cells, reducing their size. Over time, this results in weight loss. Conversely, even if you are working out intensively, overeating and poor nutrition could still prevent you from toning up or losing any weight, due to the amount of calories you are taking in outnumbering the amount you are expending. It took 9 months to gain the 25-35 pounds (11-16 kg) recommended by doctors during your pregnancy, and it will take about that long to lose them. Don't fall for the hype of instant weight loss plans. Instead, use moderate exercise and healthy eating to ensure that you are on the road to fitness. Wait at least until your 6-week postpartum checkup before actively trying to slim down. If you are breastfeeding, it is recommended that you wait 2 months before actively dieting. You want to make sure you have the energy to care for your new baby, and if you begin dieting too quickly, it can stunt your recovery.  Losing weight at a healthy pace and waiting 2 months establishes a good milk supply for the baby. Breastfeeding can also help you lose weight. Your body consumes fat stores and dietary calories in order to produce milk, leading to weight loss. Many women don’t get enough calcium during and after pregnancy. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should be ingesting 1,000-1,300mg of calcium per day. Talk to your doctor about taking calcium supplements, and make sure to include plenty of calcium-rich foods in your diet. You can get dietary calcium from: Dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, and cheese. Leafy green vegetables, such as broccoli, kale, collard greens, Chinese cabbage, or spinach. Fish with edible bones, such as canned sardines, mackerel, or salmon. Calcium-enriched foods, including many breakfast cereals and fortified juices. Diets high in vegetable protein and low in animal fats have been linked to weight loss, reduced risk of heart disease, and many...

Article in English: In order to maintain optimal health and well-being, you should make sure you're getting enough sleep. Quantity and quality of sleep is intrinsically connected to our physical and mental health. Sleep has an essential restorative effect on our body and, in fact, a lack of adequate sleep is linked to impaired immune function. During the third phase of the sleep cycle, our bodies' natural T and B lymphocytes (a form of white blood cell) produce “cytokines,” chemicals which target and kill viruses and bacteria. Research has determined that ideally people should get between seven and eight hours of uninterrupted sleep per night; those who sleep less or more than the recommended amount were may be a greater risk for the development of adverse medical conditions and diseases. Medical experts and researchers recommend doing aerobic exercise (exercise that gets your heart rate up and makes you sweat) at least three times per week in increments of 30 minutes. Aerobic is defined as working in such a manner as to achieve your target heart rate for this period. Some of the best and most enjoyable aerobic exercises include running, cycling, and swimming.  To calculate your target heart rate for aerobic exercise, subtract your age from 220 and multiply by .70. For example, if you are 20 years old, your target heart rate would be 140. You check this while exercising, by placing your index and middle finger into the groove of your neck and feeling for your carotid pulse and counting the number of beats for one minute. Pick an exercise you enjoy. If you like what you're doing,  you're more likely to continue with the regimen. Currently, we are discovering more and more the value of phytonutrients in preventing illness, both in preventing free radical cellular damage to increasing immunity through immune mechanisms and production of cytokines that ward of viral and bacterial invaders. Eat three balanced meals a day, including plenty of fruits and vegetables, complex carbohydrates, and protein. Follow the guidelines at United...

Article in English: In order to make changes that will truly help you, you will need to take some time to figure out why you are feeling lonely. For example, say you assume that you are lonely because you don’t have enough friends and you go out and make more friends. You may still feel lonely after making new friends if your loneliness is the result of having too many friends and a lack of meaningful connections. Consider some of the following questions to help you determine why you are feeling lonely:  When do you feel the most lonely? Do certain people make you feel more lonely when you are around them? How long have you been feeling this way? What does feeling lonely make you want to do? Journaling can help you to understand your feelings of loneliness better and it is also a great way to relieve stress. To get started with journaling, choose a comfortable place and plan to devote about 20 minutes per day to writing. You can start by writing about how you are feeling or what you are thinking, or you can use a prompt. Some prompts you might use include:  “I feel lonely when…” “I feel lonely because…” When did you first start feeling lonely? How long have you felt this way? Some research has suggested that meditation may ease feelings associated with loneliness and depression. Meditation is also a great way to get more in touch with your feelings of loneliness and start to understand where they come from. Learning to meditate takes time, practice, and guidance, so your best bet is to find a meditation class in your area. If no classes are available in your area, you can also buy CDs that will help you learn how to meditate.  To get started with meditation, find a quiet spot and get comfortable. You can either sit in a chair or on a cushion on the floor with your legs crossed. Close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing. As you focus on your breathing, try not to get distracted by your thoughts. Just let them happen and pass by. Without opening your eyes, observe the world around you.

Article in English: In order to make drinks that look and taste like they were made by a professional, you'll need to learn basic bartending skills beyond just pouring and mixing. Check out online tutorials with information on the following techniques, then practice them until you have them memorized. Here are some basics you should know before you start looking for a bartending job:    Shaking. This involves using a cocktail shaker to mix and chill drinks.  Straining. Cocktail shakers have built-in strainers, which you use to strain the ice from the liquid.   Stirring. There's a proper way to do this to ensure the drink doesn't get watered down. Muddling. This involves using a muddler to press the flavor from fresh ingredients. Blending. You'll need a blender to make drinks like blended margaritas. Start building your knowledge of different types of alcohol and learning how to make the most popular drinks. To a certain extent, the type of drinks you'll need to know how to make depends on the bar where you work; a high-end urban bar might focus on specialty martinis, while a college bar might serve a lot of Irish car bombs. Still, no matter where you work, you'll need the most popular standards in your repertoire. Learn how to make the following:  Basic mixed drinks like a  whiskey soda, a greyhound, orange juice and vodka,  Jack and coke,  gin and tonic, and so on. Other highballs like a  bloody Mary, dark and stormy,  fuzzy navel, melon ball, and Alabama slammer. Lowballs such as a White Russian, a godfather, and a peppermint patty. Martinis, Manhattans, and Rob Roys. Tropical drinks like  pina coladas, daiquiris, margaritas and hurricanes. Shots like a lemon drop, slippery nipple, Jäger bomb or an orgasm. Other cocktails like a mimosa, a mint julep, a mojito, or an Irish coffee. There are little tricks to pouring a good beer, mixing drinks, and saving time behind the bar.

Article in English: In order to make eye patch treatment successful, your child must keep it on for the prescribed amount of time. It'll be easier to get her to agree to this if she understands why she needs the patch.  Explain to your child how it can help her and what might happen if she doesn’t wear it. Let your child know that wearing the patch will make her eyes stronger. Without frightening your child, let her know that not wearing the patch could cause result in worsened vision. If possible, let your child have input in scheduling her "patch time" each day. Communication is the key to helping your child feel comfortable with patching. Children who feel self-conscious or embarrassed about wearing an eye patch are less likely to stick with the treatment successfully.  Ask the people around your child to empathize and encourage him to stick to his course of treatment. Let your child know that he has several people he can turn to with any problems. Be open to answering questions your child may have. Let your family and friends know about the reasons for patching so they can support your child too. If your child must wear the patch during school time, explain the situation to the child’s instructor or caregiver.  Discuss having the teacher explain to classmates why your child is wearing the patch and how they can be supportive. Make sure that the school officials and faculty are aware that teasing over the patch should not be tolerated. Discuss whether academic accommodations can be made for your child while she is wearing the patch. For example, ask whether teachers can give your child difficult assignments a little earlier, provide tutoring, offer a work plan, and/or check in with the student’s progress every week or so. These can all help your child feel more comfortable during patching and maintain good performance in school. Despite your best efforts, other children might tease your child or make hurtful comments. Be there to listen, soothe and reassure your child that this treatment is temporary and worthwhile.  You...

Article in English: In order to poach bratwurst in beer, you will need to assemble your ingredients and have everything on hand before you start. You will need:  Bratwurst: use as many as will fit into your pan or as many as you plan to serve One medium-sized white, yellow or sweet onion 6 ounces of dark beer Use 1 medium-sized white, yellow or sweet onion. Chop the onion into rings.  These will cook with the bratwurst, giving a nice flavor and companion to the sausage. Use either a heavy skillet or a Dutch oven to cook the brats and onions. Turn the burner on a medium high heat. Melt about 1 tablespoon of butter and make sure the butter covers the entire bottom of the pan. Brown the onions in the butter for 1-2 minutes. Stir them frequently to make sure they are browned on all sides. Some recipes suggest cooking the onions after you cook the bratwurst, so that you can monitor the bratwurst more effectively and so that you don’t risk overcooking the onions. Cook the bratwurst with the onion for 2 minutes. Then turn over the bratwurst using tongs and let them cook for another 2 minutes. Both sides should be nicely browned. Slowly pour 6 ounces of dark beer (about half a regular sized bottle) into the pan. Cover the pan with a lid. Turn down the burner’s heat to medium to medium-low. Allow this to cook with the bratwurst and onions for approximately 15 minutes. The beer will poach the bratwurst, adding good flavor to the sausage. Remove the brats from the pan using a pair of tongs, and put them on a plate. Transfer them to a pre-heated grill. Let them cook for 5-7 minutes, turning them over at least once halfway through the cooking time. Take the brats off the grill with tongs and place them on a serving plate. Dish up the onions on the same plate. Alternately, you can use a casserole dish or the Dutch oven to serve the bratwurst.

Article in English: In order to produce vibrantly colored bracts (or leaves) after a dormant period, your poinsettia will need to spend 12-14 hours a night in total darkness between September and November. Place a black fabric bag or cardboard box over the plant every evening at sundown. Uncover it again the following morning when it's time to meet its sunlight requirements.  Consider tucking your poinsettia away in a closet or basement after covering it. Even the faintest ambient light can be enough to prevent it from blooming on time.  Poinsettias are photoperiod plants, which means the amount of foliage they produce is determined by the number of hours a day they spend without light. Eventually, your rejuvenated poinsettia may get so big that it outgrows its original pot. When the new growth begins to stall, transfer the plant to a new container where its root system will have plenty of room to continue expanding. Take care not to damage the delicate roots themselves when extracting the plant.  Any well-balanced potting soil mix should work just fine for filling the new container.  Continue watering and fertilizing your poinsettia as usual once you’ve transplanted it successfully. Common garden pests like aphids and whiteflies have been known to feed on poinsettia leaves. The best way to minimize the damage they do is to spray the plant periodically with a mild organic pesticide, such as neem oil or insecticidal soap. If there are only a few invaders present, you may be able to simply remove them by hand.  Keep in mind that organic pesticides typically have to be reapplied more frequently than chemical products due to their gentler ingredients. If you don’t like the idea of treating your plant with pesticides, try mixing up your own homemade solution by combining an all-natural liquid soap with warm water in a spray bottle and using it to blast bugs whenever they pop up. By mid-fall, it will be too chilly to keep your poinsettia out during the day. Find a warm, cozy spot for the plant inside your home where it can enjoy 6-8...

Article in English: In order to tame a wild mouse, you’ll need to catch it first. There are many ways to catch mice. You want to make sure that you catch the mouse in a way that won’t hurt it or scare it too much if possible.  You can buy mouse traps that will simply catch the mouse without causing it any kind of injury. Once you’ve caught the mouse, an aquarium or small rodent cage will do. Make sure the mouse has comfortable bedding, fun toys or furniture to play on, and a water bottle. Some people call this “bribing” the mouse. However, all you’re really doing is letting the mouse know that you’re not a threat, and in fact, have positive things to offer. Put your hand (with a treat on it) into the cage. Let the mouse approach and come onto your hand to get the treat. Cloth gardener’s gloves work well for this. Gently scoop up the mouse out of the cage. Handle it for a few minutes, and let the mouse crawl on you. Then, put the mouse gently back in its cage.  Give the mouse treats while it crawls on you. This will give it positive associations with you. Do this as often as you and the mouse have the patience for. The more you practice, the quicker you’ll tame your mouse. After a week or two, try taking the gloves off when you handle the mouse. Do this gently. If the mouse seems afraid or bites you, you can put the gloves back on and try again. Continue practicing and picking up the mouse without gloves until it’s easy and the mouse feels comfortable.
