Article in English: The present indicative is the simplest, most common verb form and is used to talk about something one is currently doing.  Example: "I do my homework," Hago mi tarea.  yo: hago  tú: haces él/ella/usted: hace nosotros/-as: hacemos vosotros/-as: hacéis ellos/ellas/ustedes: hacen Use the preterit indicative to describe a concrete action that was done in the past and which has been completed or has otherwise come to a clear end.  Example: "Maria did her homework," Maria hizo su tarea.  yo: hice tú: hiciste él/ella/usted: hizo nosotros/-as: hicimos vosotros/-as: hicisteis ellos/ellas/ustedes: hicieron The imperfect indicative of hacer should be used when you need to describe something a concrete action that was done in the past, but one which had no definite and an may still continue in the present.  Example: "I used to do my homework," Hacía mi tarea.  yo: hacía tú: hacías él/ella/usted: hacía nosotros/-as: hacíamos vosotros/-as: hacíais ellos/ellas/ustedes: hacían Use the future indicative when talking about an action that will definitely be done in the future.  Example: “Maria will do her homework tomorrow,” Maria haría su tarea de mañana.  yo: haré tú: harás él/ella/usted: hará nosotros/-as: haremos vosotros/-as: haréis ellos/ellas/ustedes: harán The conditional indicative tense should be used when you are trying to describe an action that will definitely be done in the future as long as another condition is true.  Example: "I will do my homework tonight if I have time," Haré mi tarea esta noche si tengo tiempo.  yo: haría tú: harías él/ella/usted: haría nosotros/-as: haríamos vosotros/-as: haríais ellos/ellas/ustedes: harían

Article in English: The present subjective should be used if you are talking about a present or current action that one doubts is being done.  Example: "I doubt that Pedro does his homework," Dudo que Pedro haga su tarea.  yo: haga tú: hagas él/ella/usted: haga nosotros/-as: hagamos vosotros/-as: hagáis ellos/ellas/ustedes: hagan Use the imperfect subjunctive of hacer when describing a past action that you doubt or deny has been done.

Article in English: The present value of the interest payments tells you the current worth of the bond's interest payments based on the current market interest rate.  For this calculation, you need to know the bond's annual coupon rate and the annual market interest rate.  Also, find out the number of interest payments per year and the total number of coupon payments.  Using the example above, the annual coupon rate is 10 percent and the annual current market interest rate is 12 percent. The number of interest payments per year is two, and there are 10 total interest payments over the life of the bond. Divide the annual coupon rate by the number of payments per year.  In the above example, the annual coupon rate is 10 percent.  The number of interest payments per year is two.  The interest rate for each payment is 5 percent (.10/2=.5){\displaystyle (.10/2=.5)}. Multiply the principal of the bond by the interest rate per period.  In the example above, the principal of the bond is $500,000.  The interest rate per period is 5 percent.   Each interest payment is $25,000 ($500,000∗.05=$25,000){\displaystyle (\$500,000*.05=\$25,000)}. This is used to calculate the value of the interest payments if they were to be paid now.  It is based on the current market interest rate.  The formula is [(1−(1/(1+r)n))/r]{\displaystyle [(1-(1/(1+r)^{n}))/r]}.  In this formula, “r” is the current market interest rate per period and “n” is the total number of interest payments. [(1−(1/(1+.06)10))/.06]=7.3601{\displaystyle [(1-(1/(1+.06)^{10}))/.06]=7.3601} Multiply the amount of each interest payment by the PVOA.  This tells you how much the interest payments would be worth if they were all paid out today.  Use the equation $25,000∗7.3601=$184,002{\displaystyle \$25,000*7.3601=\$184,002}.  The present value of the interest payments is $184,002.

Article in English: The primary computer is the computer it was synced up to originally. This is the computer that stores all its original files and data. Grab a USB cord and plug each end into the appropriate device. If you need to download the latest version, do so. Sync it to your computer if you have any updates. Make sure your iPod is recognized and shows up on your screen. It'll pop up automatically. If you do not have a recent backup, well, shame on you. There's no way around it – your recent files will be lost. Start backing up your music! Generally, iTunes prompts you to back up your devices. You may have a back up ready that you don't know about. Don't fret until you go to try it -- a list of your available back ups will pop up. This is will restore your iPod to the point it was at at the most recent backup; therefore, only your most recent files will be lost. Better than nothing, right?

Article in English: The primary cost you'll need to consider is the cost of your materials. Make a list of all the materials used for your embroidery work and the prices of each one.  The fabric you embroider on and the thread you use to embroider are the most obvious materials, but all beads, charms, and additional embellishments must also be accounted for. If you frame your work, the cost of your framing materials must also be included. You need to pay yourself for your time, especially if you plan on selling your embroidery as a legitimate business.  Determine an hourly wage. If you want to keep your prices low, use the current minimum wage. You can either keep track of how much time you spend on each individual piece or average the time you spend on your embroidery work. Multiply the number of hours you spend on each work by your chosen wage to determine the labor cost of each piece. Overhead cost refers to the money you spend to run your business. You could also term these as your "operating expenses."  Make a list of all the equipment you use and the associated yearly costs of that equipment. This includes the cost it takes to buy or rent embroidery machines. List the other costs you pay to run your business over the course of a year, including the cost of merchant licenses, office space, or Web space (if applicable). Calculate the number of hours you work each year, then divide the number of hours worked annually by the cost of your annual costs. This will give you the cost of doing business per hour. Multiply the cost of doing business per hour by the number of hours you spend on each piece to determine the cost of each piece. This if the overhead cost value you will need for your final price calculation. Related costs are the costs you spend when you plan to sell at particular venues.  These costs may not always be an issue, especially if you only sell your embroidery online. If you plan to sell embroidery at a craft fair, you should add together the cost of the booth, the cost of travel expenses, and all other costs...

Article in English: The primary disability in dyslexic adults is a difference in the way the brain processes information. The most obvious way is the difficulty dyslexic people have in interpreting written language. Because most people learn to read as children, dyslexia is often diagnosed in childhood.  Auditory processing may also be affected, and people with dyslexia may not be able to process spoken information readily. Sometimes the speed with which a dyslexic person processes spoken language can be slower. Language may be interpreted literally, meaning that jokes and sarcasm may be easily misunderstood. Short-term memory is often a weakness for dyslexic people, and they may have a hard time remembering facts, events, plans, etc. Working memory, or the mental ability to hold several pieces of information simultaneously, i.e. taking notes as you listen to a lecture, may be impaired.  Someone with dyslexia might make mistakes with basic information, such as giving their age or the ages of their children. The dyslexic adult might not be able to easily recall information without additional notes. Someone with dyslexia might have word-retrieval problems, or an inability to figure out how to put their thoughts into words. Misunderstandings of verbal information is common, and communication can be challenging without appropriate understanding.  The volume or tone of the dyslexic person’s voice may be noticeably louder or softer than most people’s. Occasionally, a speech difference or mispronunciations are present. Learning to read is usually difficult for a dyslexic person, and even in adulthood the person may remain functionally illiterate, despite no intellectual deficits. When the person can read, they might have persistent spelling difficulties.  Reading comprehension may be slower for the dyslexic adult. They may have difficulty scanning text for meaning or quickly processing written directions. Technical terminology and acronyms may be especially challenging. When possible, apply simpler words or use pictures or other visual...

Article in English: The primary metric defines the output or goal of the process improvement. For example, an automobile factory might choose number of cars produced per hour. Before a process improvement is introduced, a baseline measurement is taken. At the end of the project, the process is measured again. The amount of improvement is then calculated. The business metric measures how an operational improvement achieves one of the company's goals. For example, if the primary metric is to manufacture the product faster, the business metric might be increased profit or reduced fixed costs. There is a cause-and-effect relationship between the primary and the business metrics. It demonstrates why the improvement in the primary metric is good for business. There may be collateral damage caused by the process improvement project. If the primary metric measures what must be improved, there must be another metric, the consequential metric, to measure what must not change. Consequential metric data should be collected before, during and after the project. Of the many possible consequential metrics in a given project, only the top few which impact the quality of outputs should be considered. For example, a company trying to improve delivery speed should not see an increase in damaged products due to sloppy handling. Proportion of damaged products would be the consequential metric in this case. Saving money may not be a company’s primary metric. However, companies need to monitor the financial results of improvement processes. This should not be confused with an accounting of the cost of the project. Rather, the financial metric should be a tool for analyzing the financial benefit of the project. Many companies continue to monitor the financial metric for up to one year after the completion of the project. For example, an improvement in manufacturing time may be expected to increase the company's revenues. The company would monitor revenue, along with other factors like profit, from the time the changes were instituted and on to measure...

Article in English: The principle of rest is to avoid anything that might stretch the incision, increase blood pressure, or dislodge ligatures. In an ideal world, rests means just that—rest. Lots of lying around in bed, with no stairs, no jumping, and no walks. This means no runs, games of Frisbee, or playing catch. It also means no running up and down stairs or jumping on and off furniture. Think about borrowing a child's stair gate for the duration of your dog’s recovery so that you can block off the stairs. If you own a large dog who likes to sleep with you, do not let her walk up the stairs to get to your bed. If you are concerned about your dog’s health, you can sleep downstairs on the sofa beside her. Take your dog out into the yard on a collar and lead, rather than letting her roam freely. Keeping her on a lead can help you to restrain her and keep her from injuring herself if she sees something that she wants to chase. Don't let your dog jump in and out of your car. If necessary, take a friend with you to help lift a big dog into and out of the trunk when you collect her from the clinic or take her somewhere other than your home. If your dog is going stir crazy and has so much bottled energy she is bouncing or jumping at doors, check with the clinic to see if a short walk is okay. Always keep her on a leash during the walk. Three to four days after her surgery, you can consider taking your dog for a walk. Try to keep the walk to five minutes in length, and walk on flat ground. If you have other dogs in the house who want to rough-house with your recovering dog, keep them under constant supervision so that they can't jump on her. Do not play tug-o-war with your dog, or any other games that involve movement. If you are concerned that you cannot keep your other dogs under control, consider asking a friend to watch those dogs until your recovering dog’s stitches have been removed. If you have a hyperactive dog that absolutely refuses to take things quietly no matter how hard you try, let the veterinary clinic know. They may...

Article in English: The program lets you organize your collection of tracks and group them easily in a DJ-friendly way. You can use filters to find the hot songs, find songs with a compatible bpm or key, access your previous playlists, and more. This is essential if you want to do any live DJing, as you need quick access to the right songs, and you may need to cater to audience requests. This is the bread and butter of DJs: keeping the music going without pauses. Use the "crossfader" to set the time at which you want the songs to switch, as well as how quickly you want it to change. The horizontal bar between the two decks is your "Crossfade bar." The further it is to one side, the more you will hear that song above the other. You should try to keep the high peaks on the waveform synchronized and overlapped (one above the other). This usually means that the beats are "in sync" and the mix sounds good. You can use the two vertical pitch sliders to adjust the BPM on each song, making it so that the waveforms match up and the songs are in sync.  Sometimes Virtual DJ does not analyze a track correctly, and the CBG can be incorrect, so you should learn to beat match by ear and not rely on visual aids. Syncing up songs makes transitioning from one to the other much easier. There are three EQ knobs next to each deck that let you change how the songs sound. They correspond to Bass, Middle, and Treble.   Bass: The low end of the song. This is the rumbling, deep parts of the songs.  Middle: This is usually where the vocals and guitars hang out—not super deep or high-pitched.  Treble: Usually this knob affects the drums most heavily, though anything high-pitched will be affected. You can use Virtual DJ to add tons of effects to your songs, creating house and electronic-style remixes anywhere. The program comes with a plethora of effects ranging from traditional flanger, echo, etc, to more modern "beat-aware" effects like beatgrid, slicer, and loop-roll. The built-in sampler will let you spice up your mixes with a broad range of drops and...

Article in English: The program will guide you, asking where it can find the left image, and then where it can find the right image. After you've selected the images, both will appear side by side. It takes you to a window that displays both images semi-transparently. You can then drag one until it lines up well with the other. Ideally you want to make the two images match up perfectly vertically, and match up horizontally for things in the very center of the picture. Line up the two images as well as you can and click OK.    The multicolored icon  to the left of the vertical red-blue icon  is there to see your image as an anaglyph. Now that you've aligned them, click on that and put on your 3D glasses. To get a big view, click on the icon that looks like a rectangle with an X through it . That will give you a full screen view. After you've had a good enough look at it, to go back to the regular program screen, hit the Esc key. Make any adjustments in aligning the images until you're happy with it. Choose File, Save Stereo Image. You may want to change the name to that it doesn't have a -L or -R on it. Again, choose File, Open Left/Right Images, and tell the program which files to open. Then select Adjust, Auto-Align . If it ever asks if you want to use previous report files, always click No. The program will perform its magic comparing the two images and lining them up as perfectly as it can. If you want you can save this image also, perhaps with another name. You can later look at the two images and see how they compare.

Article in English: The prolonged use of topical corticosteroid creams is the most common cause of perioral dermatitis. Cutting out topical medications or cosmetics, or “zero-therapy,” may help treat mild dermatitis. If you’re taking corticosteroids for a separate condition, ask your doctor to prescribe you an alternative treatment for your condition. If you’re unable to completely stop using corticosteroids right away, try phasing them out over time. Apply your cream less and less frequently over a couple of weeks until you no longer need it. This type of topical therapy is most often used in mild or moderate cases of perioral dermatitis. Apply the cream every day, following the dosage instructions of your doctor, until the dermatitis has completely disappeared.  It may take several weeks to a few months for your dermatitis to completely go away. Examples of topical antibiotics include erythromycin, clindamycin, metronidazole, pimecrolimus, and azelaic acid. Oral antibiotics are the most reliably effective treatment option for severe perioral dermatitis. They’re typically taken in decreasing doses every day for 3-12 weeks.  Tetracycline and erythromycin are 2 of the more commonly prescribed oral antibiotics for perioral dermatitis. Be sure to follow dosage instructions when taking antibiotics. Oral isotretinoin may be prescribed if no other treatments work.

Article in English: The purpose of a synthesis essay is to make insightful connections between parts of a work, or multiple works, with the goal of ultimately presenting and supporting a claim about a topic. In other words, when you do research on a topic, you will look for connections that you can form into a solid perspective on a topic. The different types of synthesis essays can be categorized as follows:  Argument synthesis: This type of essay has a strong thesis statement that presents the writer's point of view. It organizes relevant information gathered from research in a logical manner to support the thesis' point of view. Business white papers known as position papers often take this form. This is the type of synthesis essay that students will write during the AP test.  Review: Often written as a preliminary essay to an argument synthesis, a review essay is a discussion of what has been written previously on a topic, with a critical analysis of the sources covered. Its unstated thesis is usually that more research needs to be done in that area or that the topic problem has not been adequately addressed. This type of paper is common in social science classes and in medicine. Explanatory/background synthesis: This type of essay helps readers understand a topic by categorizing facts and presenting them to further the reader's understanding. It does not advocate a particular point of view, and if it has a thesis statement, the thesis is a weak one. Some business white papers take this form, although they are more likely to have a point of view, if understated. Your topic should be broad enough for pulling several related sources together, but not so broad as to bring widely disparate sources together. If you have free choice on a topic, some preliminary reading may help you decide what to write about. However, if you're writing a synthesis essay for a class, you may be assigned a topic or have to pick it from a list.   Example of a broad topic narrowed down into a reasonable synthesis essay topic: Instead of the broad...

Article in English: The remedies below have not been sufficiently scientifically verified, and should not replace scientific medical treatment. Additional remedies not listed below may actually delay healing or encourage infection. Avoid egg whites, peanut butter, petroleum jelly, and vinegar in particular. Aloe vera is known for relieving some of the pain while also hydrating the skin. This method, when applied immediately and often, can take away even the worst sunburns in a day or two. Brew three or four teabags in a pitcher of warm water. When the tea is almost black, remove the tea bags and let the liquid cool to room temp. Gently dab at the sunburn with a cloth soaked in the tea, the more, the better. Do not wash it off. If the cloth causes pain, dab at the burn with the teabags instead.  Try to do this at bedtime and leave it on overnight. Be aware that the tea can stain clothing and sheets. If the burn is very recent (still red and not peeling), try eating food full of antioxidants and vitamin C, such as blueberries, tomatoes, and cherries. One study showed that this reduced the body's need for fluids, lowering the risk for dehydration. Calendula ointment is considered by some to be especially good for severe burns with blistering. You can find it at a naturopathic store; ask the retailer or naturopath for advice. Be aware that no herbal treatment is appropriate for the treatment of serious injuries; if you have severe burns or blisters that won't heal, see a doctor immediately. This treatment may soothe your skin. Apply carefully to affected area and leave on. Egg oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids like Docosahexaenoic Acid. It also contains immunoglobulins, xanthophylls (lutein & zeaxanthin) and cholesterol. The omega-3 fatty acids in egg oil are bound to phospholipids which have the ability to form liposomes (nanoparticles), which may be able to penetrate deep and heal the dermis.

Article in English: The result will be your total blood volume in milliliters. In order to accurately do the calculation, you need to put your height in inches and your weight in pounds into the following formula: (0.005835 x Height3{\displaystyle ^{3}})+(15 x Weight) +183.  You can convert your height in centimeters and your weight in pounds to inches and kilograms. 1 centimeter is 0.39 inches. 1 kilogram is 2.2 pounds. If you already have your information in inches and kilograms, then you can skip this step. Calculate the height function. Cube your height in inches and then multiply it by 0.005835. Calculate the weight function. Multiply your weight in pounds by 15. Add the height function to the weight function. Add 183. This method is based on the average value of milliliters of blood per kilogram of body weight that women have.  Your weight should be expressed in kilograms. If you need to convert pounds to kilograms, 1 pound is 0.45 kilograms. Multiply your body weight in kilograms times the average for women: 65 milliliters of blood per kilogram.  This will give you your estimated blood volume in milliliters. The amount of blood in fat and muscle is differs. This means that your fitness level can cause you to deviate from the averages. Gilcher’s Rule of Fives corrects this by adjusting the estimated amount of blood per kilogram of body weight. If you know your weight in pounds, convert it to kilograms by multiplying by 0.45. Then multiply your body weight by these averages according to your body condition:  Muscular women have 70 mL of blood per kilogram of body weight. Normal women have 65. Thin women have 60. Obese women have 55.

Article in English: The robots meta tag allows programmers to set parameters for bots, or search engine spiders. These tags are used to block bots from indexing and crawling an entire site or just parts of the site. You can also use these tags to block a specific search engine spider from indexing your content. These tags appear in the head of your HTML file. This method is commonly used by programmers that do not have access to a website's root directory.

Article in English: The roll of paper towels will be the centerpiece of the cake that will hold the layers together. You can also used a rolled up blanket or a large bottle of baby lotion as the centerpiece. However, a roll of paper towels will be the easiest centerpiece to work with. Place one diaper so that it is lying horizontally along the roll of paper towels. Repeat this process so that you form overlapping layers of diapers around the paper towels. You can make this bottom layer as large or as small as you want, just keep in mind that this is the base layer so the other two layers will get progressively smaller than this one. If you have someone to help you do this, it will be easier. Hold the diapers in place around the paper towel roll. Have your helper slip the rubber band over the diapers so that they are secured against the roll. The layers should get progressively smaller than the base, with the top layer being smallest. Secure each layer with a large rubber band.

Article in English: The same facial cleansers used for acne on your face can generally be applied to any part of the body that's prone to acne outbreaks. If you know that you tend to get a lot of acne on your back, for example, you may want to try using a facial cleanser specifically for your back on a regular basis to help prevent future outbreaks.  Facial cleansers help remove dirt, sweat, body oil, and anything else that might clog your pores.  Choose a gentle cleanser that won't irritate or damage your skin. Even though your back (for example) may not be as sensitive as your face, it's still best to avoid irritating your skin with harsh cleansers. Work your chosen cleanser into a lather, then apply it to the part of your body most susceptible to acne outbreaks. Thoroughly wash the cleanser away under running water like you would for your face. It's best to treat body acne in the shower, as washing your back or neck may get messy in the sink. There are many over-the-counter topical creams and lotions available that help treat acne. While it may be difficult to navigate which products are most effective, you can compare products by their ingredients to get a better sense of what products you need. Common over-the-counter topical ingredients include:  Alpha hydroxy acids - remove dead skin cells to prevent pores from clogging, reduce skin inflammation, and stimulate new skin growth.  Benzoyl peroxide - kills bacteria on your skin that may cause pores to clog  Retinoid creams/lotions - help unclog pores and help remove dead skin cells to prevent future pore clogs.  Salicylic acid - helps prevent pores from plugging Sulfur - helps remove both dead skin cells and excess body oil from the skin Certain irritants may contribute to acne across your body, especially if you are prone to sweating. One of the most common irritants for body acne is tight clothing, which may hold sweat and oil against the pores of the skin. Wear loose-fitting clothes and avoid tight-fitting straps from accessories like backpacks and sports equipment. These...

Article in English: The search for a new job can take quite a while — by some measures, one month for each $10k in expected salary. If you're looking for a well-paying job, that's a lot of time to be out of work. If your job is truly horrendous and you can't take it anymore, consider quitting. Otherwise, try to stick it out. Your wallet will thank you, as will your future employer: It's easier to get a job if you already have a job, as you're considered "employable." You know the saying: "The grass is always greener on the other side." A lot of people dislike their jobs for good reason, but some believe the grass is always greener on the other side, and get a rude awakening when they switch jobs, only to find their situation worse on the other side. It's extremely tough to gauge whether your future job could be worse than your current one. The fact that you want to switch jobs should tip you off that you're unhappy; just make sure you're unhappy for good reason, not some unrealistic expectation of what the work world is like. Are you merely switching jobs within the same sector, or are you switching careers? There's a pretty big difference. Switching jobs in the same industry doesn't require nearly as much planning and legwork as switching careers.  Imagine what you'd do if you had all the money in the world. What would you spend your time doing? Would you spend your time traveling and writing about the experience? Would you spend your days cooking? A lot of our most enjoyable pursuits don't pay as well as the "lucrative" ones, but if you're truly good at what you love to do, you probably stand to make a good deal of money and have fun doing it at the same time. Recall your most enjoyable accomplishments and experiences, especially those that are deeply felt and emotionally fulfilling. What are you good at doing? Many people find that they enjoy doing the things they're naturally good at. It may sound cheesy, but a journal is a pursuit that will force you to collect your thoughts and start to be honest about your feelings and...

Article in English: The sebum that clogs up your pores and can cause irritation in rosacea is an oil. The best substance for dissolving oils (and dirt, cell debris, dirt, bacteria, etc.) is another oil.  We are so used to thinking that oils are bad for the skin. This makes many people forget that the skin has natural oils to protect and moisturize it. As a result, we may use cleansers with (often) irritating chemicals. Choose your primary oil from a list of non-comedogenic oils. Non-comedogenic means that the pores won’t be blocked. Some of these oils are more expensive than others, and some may be easier to find than others.  The most non-comedogenic according to the American Academy of Dermatology) with a rating of 0 or 1 out of a possible 5 are:  Hemp seed oil (0) Mineral oil (0) Shea butter (0) Sunflower oil (0) Castor oil (1). Castor oil can be moisturizing for some people, but it can be drying for others. Make sure your skin reacts well to the oil cleanser that you choose. Test it on a small patch of skin first and wait a day. If your skin condition worsens, stop using this cleanser and try a different one. Avoid cleansers that might trigger allergic reactions. For example, if you have a nut allergy, don’t use hazelnut oil. For oil cleansing, pour a small amount of oil into the palm of your hand. Gently massage the oil onto your face for 2 minutes, using small, circular motions.  Use this method twice a day and after heavy sweating. You can add essential oils to your oil if you choose. Add 1 to 2 drops of essential oil for every 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of oil. Some scents to choose from include: Oat Chamomile Lavender Use a washcloth soaked in warm water and apply the washcloth to your face. Let it stay on your face for about 20 seconds. This helps the oil absorb into your skin. Use the warm, damp washcloth to slowly and gently wipe off the oil from your skin. Rinse the washcloth in warm water and repeat until you have wiped all the oil off your face. Use a cotton towel to gently dry your face. Do not rub your skin, since this...

Article in English: The selection of lighting fixtures is of two primary types: decorative and functional. The design of these fixtures should complement the look and feel of your house and landscape while providing sufficient lighting for safety, security, and functionality.  When installing a wall lantern, size the fixture to the door and surrounding space. Wall lanterns should be mounted slightly above eye level at about 60" to 66" from the center of the fixture to the floor. Post-top lanterns can be selected to match the style of the wall lanterns. Large post top lanterns make a better impression when used in large open space. They spill light in all directions and can be a cause of light trespass (onto others' properties) and distracting glare for drivers. Many lighting designers forgo lantern style lights entirely and instead use lights with hoods (that shield the glare) and lights that are positioned within plant material so they are hidden completely. Add landscape lighting, deck lighting, and step lighting to not only bring out the beauty of the home at night, but also add extra security and safety.

Article in English: The setting doesn't necessarily have to come first, but if you have a general idea of what you want your story to be, you also need a setting. Setting includes the location, the date, the time of year, the geography, and even the climate and mood.  Think about the mood you want to create for your story. The setting partially creates that mood for you. For instance, a murder-mystery set in 1920s Galveston, TX during an approaching hurricane is going to be very different from a murder-mystery set in Chicago in present day or Edinburgh in the 18th century. As another example, the Sherlock Holmes' stories take much of their darkness and mood from the time period (Victorian and Edwardian era) and the foggy London setting. The story arc is how the plot progresses throughout the novel. Typically, you go through 8 stages: stasis, trigger, the quest, surprise, critical choice, climax, reversal, and resolution.  Stasis is normal everyday life. You could start with the normal life of the detective, a witness, or whoever's point of view you're using. The trigger is the event that sets off the quest, which is often the murder in a murder mystery. The surprise is the twists and turns, the complications that keep the story going. In a murder mystery, that may be things like new evidence, new motives coming to light, or trouble finding a suspect. The critical choice is the main crux of the protagonist's story. It's where they must decide how they will act to complete the story, and it often involves choosing a hard path. It is a character-defining moment. This choice typically leads to the climax, the place where the action and tension comes to a head, such as the point where the detective is in the active process of capturing the suspect. The reversal and resolution show how the characters have changed and what the new "normal" looks like. You want to keep the reader guessing throughout the novel. You can start out simply with a corpse and detectives on scene to investigate, but a more interesting story will leave the...

Article in English: The simplest cause of an itchy scalp is buildup of hair products and dead skin cells. Therefore, if you aren’t already doing so, begin by making sure you wash your hair at least every other day.  Use the pads of your fingers (the soft fleshy part of your finger tip) and gently massage the shampoo into your scalp. Rinse the shampoo out thoroughly with warm, running water. Make sure the water is not too warm though, as this could dry out your scalp even more. You can also use your fingers to “exfoliate” your scalp. When you are shampooing, reach your fingers all the way through your hair to your scalp and massage the skin. Make sure to do this all over your head, including the back. Don't scratch with your nails though, as this may worsen the irritation. There are several shampoos on the market that are specially formulated to help deal with some of the causes of an itchy scalp. These shampoos may include one or more of the following active ingredients: coal tar, pyrithione zinc, salicylic acid, sulfur, selenium sulfide, and/or ketoconazole. Follow the directions on the bottle carefully, and if it tells you to leave it on your scalp for 5 minutes, then be sure and do so. This will give the product time to work.  Remember that these shampoos will take time to become effective. Before giving up on a particular shampoo, give it a few weeks to really kick in. If it doesn’t work after that, try a shampoo with a different active ingredient, or visit your doctor. Don’t use a medicated shampoo every day, though. These shampoos tend to be very strong, so you only need to use them once or twice a week. For your other washings, you can use a gentle every-day shampoo. If you believe that the source of your itchy scalp happens to be the weather, or that the skin on your head is just a bit dried out, try using a good conditioner. Conditioner is meant to moisturize, so be sure to use it after shampooing. Don’t forget to rinse the conditioner from your hair thoroughly. Use your fingers to help make sure the water is able to...

Article in English: The simplest method to try is rubbing your own neck. Massage the tense spot to relax the stressed muscles by gently kneading the sore area. Begin by applying gentle pressure to the ball.  Use the tips of your fingers to rub the stress ball using a tight circular motion. Repeat this motion for a minute or two to see if it provides any relief.  You may also simply rub back and forth.  If the massage feels painful, you're probably rubbing too hard. Start with a gentle touch, increasing pressure as needed. If this method helps, massage the area from one to five times a day. Each session should last for approximately five minutes, as you do not want to overdo it. You want to avoid putting extra stress on your muscles. Although many people find relief just by massaging the stress ball with their fingers, it's important to play around with different massage techniques to find what works for you. Many people find using a basic tennis ball to be beneficial.  To use the tennis ball technique, lie down on the floor and place the tennis ball beneath your neck, at the approximate location of the stress ball. You can also do this leaning against a wall. Adjust your body positioning until you feel a "good" pressure at the location of the knot. The tennis ball should not cause pain. Move your neck and body up and down and from side to side, allowing the tennis ball to roll over the stress knot. This helps to release tension from the muscle and loosen the knot. Make sure that your neck is a natural neutral position when using a tennis ball. If you find that your head is hanging down on the ball (which may further stress your muscles), simply place a small book on the floor and the ball on top of that. This brings the ball up to your neck instead of your neck arching or extending to reach the ball on the ground. If you find that a tennis ball is too soft, you can progress to a lacrosse ball, which is more firm and may be more beneficial to those with chronic stress balls or more muscle mass Many stores also sell self-massage...

Article in English: The simplest way to remove anything oily or greasy from almost any fabric is by generously applying dish detergent or soap to the stain.  Using a small brush, like an old toothbrush, scrub the stain in a circular motion for several minutes. Keep adding additional detergent or soap if needed. Allow the fabric to rest for 30 minutes before placing it in the washing machine. Finally, wash the item in the warmest water you can safely use for the material.  For best results, find a dish soap that is specifically labeled for dissolving oil since these often have a special type of oil-eating bacteria as an ingredient. Your clothing should be grease-free after a single wash, but you can repeat the process again if it's not. As soon as you're able, pour a small amount of baby powder all over the fresh grease stains on your clothing. The baby powder is fine enough that it will fill in the crevices between the fibers, and absorb the grease. Leave the baby powder to 'soak' for 10-15 minutes, and then brush it off.  If the grease is still faintly visible, toss it in the washing machine under cold water. The combination should do the trick, and by the time the clothing has dried, there should be no trace of grease left! Because chalk is such a fine powder, it easily absorbs the grease in your clothes and makes it easy to remove. Fill in your grease stain with plain white chalk, or scrape some of the powder over the stain. Allow it to set for 10-15 minutes and then rub it off. If the stain is still visible, you can wash it with cold water. The rinse/dry cycle will finish the task and should fully remove the stain. Yes, another one of the fine powders (just like baby powder and chalk), cornstarch works wonders at soaking up fresh grease and oil stains.  Pour a small amount of the powder on the stain and allow it to set for a quarter of an hour. You can brush off the cornstarch afterwards, or leave it on and put it in the washing machine. Wash your clothes on 'cold', and your grease stain should be gone! Don't have any of the...

Article in English: The size of your creature is a large part of its overall look. Whether your creature is large or small will be largely based on how you want others to perceive the creature. It can also correlate to the attributes you chose for your creature. For example:  If you envision your creature to be a trickster or as being very sneaky, you might want to make it smaller in stature, like a leprechaun or an elf. If your creature has an attribute like supernatural strength, you may want it to be large in size to show off this attribute. Give your creature a surprising attribute. For example, a small creature with super strength could be surprising and advantageous. Many mythological creatures take on aspects of multiple normal animals, and thus become a more formidable composite creature. For example, the majestic hippogriff has the front half of a gryphon and the back half of a horse. Centaurs have the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse.  Think about the traits of your creature. If your creature is strong and a fighter, consider giving it a physical trait from a strong creature like an eagle, snake, or alligator. If your mythological creature has wings, decide what sort of wings you want them to be. Do you want feathered wings, bat-like wings, wings with scales, or insect wings? Do you want your creature to have scales, smooth skin, fur, or feathers on its body? Once you have determined the body type of your creature, you want to assign it a coloring. This might be a singular color or multiple colors. This coloring might be glossy or matte.  Take the function of your creature into account. For example, if you want your creature to be camouflaged in its environment, you may want to give it a neutral color. A vibrant coloring, on the other hand, can show off its attributes and make your creature stand out. For example, the phoenix, also known as the firebird, has a bright orange and red coloring, which matches its name and abilities. As well as creating the look for your mythological creature, you can...

Article in English: The size should be right for you and it is a good idea to try it before you buy it. If it's a backpack, try it on and check the comfort level. If it's a carrying style of bag, carry it around and get a feel for the handle, weight, and balance of the bag. Ask the retailer if it's okay to stuff the bag for trying it so that you get an idea of what it feels like when full (just use items from the back-to-school section to fill it, or stuff in a few other bags from nearby). Walk around a bit and see how the bag performs for you. Check the stitching or seals. Does the bag look like it can last the next year or does it look like it's about to fall apart with the first fill of books and clothes? Remove all the contents and give the bag a wipe down inside and out. If it is machine washable, give it a spin and air dry. If not, wiping and vacuuming should do the trick. Start with an empty, clean bag.  Take everything out of your school bag, even if you know that you need it. Make sure all of your pockets are empty too. Make sure all the rubbish such as used tissues, rubbish wrappers, etc., is put in the bin.

Article in English: The skin of the fruit is not edible, but it is still important to wash the surface before you eat it. If the outside of the fruit is contaminated with bacteria or chemicals, you might infect the inside of the fruit when you slice it before washing. Although papayas can be eaten at room temperature, the flavor is best when served cold. Place a whole or halved papaya into the fridge to prepare it. You can freeze the papaya to cool it more quickly, but bear in mind that you may need to thaw it slightly before using it. When you are ready to make your milkshake, remove the papaya from the fridge. You should be able to see into the seed cavity in the center of the fruit. If you don't have access to the seed cavity, slice off a bit more. Hold the papaya over a bowl. Use a spoon to scoop out the black, round seeds and the sticky membrane that holds them in place. Stand the papaya on the end, using the side that you sliced as the base. Slowly slice off the peel in thin, downward slices—and be thorough. Try to leave a small cap of peel at the top of the fruit so that you can hold the fruit without touching the inside. Lay the papaya back on its side and cut away any remaining peel. Chop off the top of the papaya around the stem. Slice the papaya in half, lengthwise. Flip each half of the papaya over so that you can see the seed cavity. Use your spoon to scoop out any remaining seeds. Scrape away any white fibers for a smoother shake, although this is not strictly necessary. The chunks do not need to be regular or equally-sized. The smaller the bits, the smoother your milkshake will be—but do not feel obliged to over-dice. As long as the blades of the blender can bite into the papaya and process it into the other ingredients, your milkshake should turn out fine.

They can obscure the text and make the pages difficult to read. Keep the book away from your eating and drinking space during mealtime. Forcing an open book to lie flat can damage the spine and cause pages to fall out. If a book is old or tightly bound, avoid cracking the spine at all. When you're scanning or photocopying pages, don't press on the spine. If the book is a paperback, don't bend the front or back covers. Read your book on a flat surface whenever possible.

Не ешьте и не пейте во время чтения. Не стоит слишком сильно сгибать корешок книги. Если вы решили почитать на улице — лучше вернитесь домой. Не пишите, положив листок или тетрадь на книгу! Следите за датой, когда вам нужно будет вернуть книгу. Вовремя верните книгу.


Article in English: The slope or "rise over run" is a single number that tells you how steep the line is. This type of problem also gives you the (x,y) coordinate of one point along the graph. Skip to the other methods below if you don't have both these pieces of information.  Example 1: A straight line with slope 2 contains the point (-3,4). Find the y-intercept of this line using the steps below. Any straight line can be written as an equation in the form y = mx + b. When the equation is in this form, the variable m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. Write the slope-intercept equation, but instead of m, use the slope of your line.  Example 1 (cont.): y = mx + bm = slope = 2y = 2x + b Any time you have the coordinates of a single point on your line, you can substitute those x and y coordinates for the x and y in your line equation. Do this for the equation you've been working on.  Example 1 (cont.): The point (3,4) is on this line. At this point, x = 3 and y = 4.Substitute these values into y = 2x +b:4 = 2(3) + b Remember, b is the y-intercept of the line. Now that b is the only variable in the equation, rearrange to solve for this variable and find the answer.  Example 1 (cont.): 4 = 2(3) + b4 = 6 + b4 - 6 = b-2 = bThe y-intercept of this line is -2. The y-intercept is the point where the line intersects with the y-axis. Since the y-axis is located at x = 0, the x coordinate of the y-intercept is always 0.  Example 1 (cont.): The y-intercept is at y = -2, so the coordinate point is (0, -2).

Article in English: The software tools you need to test for network and internet latency can be found within the Network Utility application on your Mac OSX machine.  Open Finder and navigate to Applications. Navigate to the Utilities folder. Locate Network Utility and click on the application icon to open the application. The network utility will allow you to test connectivity across your ethernet (wired) connection, Airport (wireless) connection, Firewall or Bluetooth connection.  On the Info Tab, select your connection from the network interface drop down menu. Verify that you have selected the active connection.  If the connection is active you will see information in the hardware address, IP address, and Link Speed fields, additionally the Link Status field will say “Active”. (An inactive connection will only have information in the hardware address field, and the Link Status field will say “Inactive”.) The Network Utility Ping test will allow you to enter the address of a site you wish to Ping and the number of times you wish to Ping it. Normal latency varies by the type of connection from 5 - 40ms for cable modem, 10 - 70ms for DSL, 100 to 220ms for dial-up and 200 - 600 for cellular. The distance to the remote server also adds to latency, you can estimate an additional 1ms in latency for every 60 miles (100km) the data travels.  Select the Ping tab within the Network Utility menu. Enter the IP address or URL of the site you wish to Ping.  You may want to start with the URL of your internet service provider and proceed to other sites you commonly access. Enter the number of times to Ping the site (default is 10). Click the Ping Button. View the results.  As the test pings the remote address, it will report back the results, the final number after the “time = “ is the time it took, in milliseconds, for the packet to travel to the remote site and back to your computer. The traceroute test will show the path that data travels from your computer to the remote server and any delay in that path.  This can be helpful in...

Article in English: The sponge is also ideal for pressing skin care products into the skin to ensure that they're fully absorbed. For the best results, though, use the Pure Beauty Blender, which is white so it doesn't contain any dyes that might irritate your clean skin. Make sure to wet your Pure Beauty Blender before applying your moisturizer, serum, sunscreen, or other products just as you would when applying makeup. That way, you won't wind up wasting your skin care products because the sponge won't absorb as much. It can be difficult to apply self-tanner with a smooth, streak-free using your hands or even a large mitt. The sponge makes it easy to stipple the tanner into the skin for even color all over. Use the Beauty Blender Body Blender, though, which is black and won't be stained by the self-tanner. The black Beauty Blender is also ideal for applying dark bronzers and long-wearing foundation that might be difficult to wash out of the traditional Beauty Blender. While the pointed end of the sponge is small enough to get into nooks and crannies, it doesn't always offer the precision you might need. The Micro Mini Beauty Blender is a better option because it's ¼ the size of the original. Use it to apply concealer under the eyes, set undereye concealer with powder, or contour and highlight the face. You can also use a Micro Mini Beauty Blender to apply cream eyeshadow to your lids.

Article in English: The steps to do this vary by Android:  If you're using a Samsung Galaxy, you can usually do this by pressing the Recent Apps button to the left of your Home button at the bottom of the screen. If your Android has a button with a square (or overlapping squares) at the bottom of the screen, tapping it should bring up your recent apps. If neither of these options work, try swiping up from the bottom of the home screen (but not so far that the app drawer opens). You can move to the next step once the app you want to close is at the center of the screen. Depending on your Android, you may also be able to close apps by tapping the X at the top-right corner. You can tap Close All on some Androids to close all open apps at once.

Article in English: The stomach is a very acidic environment because it must mix and break down food while fighting off harmful bacteria and viruses. Unfortunately, the esophagus cannot handle acidic material. A hiatal hernia can cause backflow of food into the esophagus, which results in a burning sensation. Since this occurs near the heart, it's called heartburn. During heartburn, the esophagus becomes filled with food from the stomach. This can prevent you from swallowing normally. If you find that you're having trouble swallowing food or drink, see your doctor. Sometimes, the acidic contents of your stomach reach the top of your esophagus and leave a bitter taste in your mouth. A hiatal hernia can also cause actual regurgitation, which is essentially throwing up in your mouth. This could be a sign of a hiatal hernia. Sometimes a large hiatal hernia might cause your chest to hurt. You might also vomit blood, which can indicate gastrointestinal bleeding. If you suffer from these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. When you're trying to determine if you have a hiatal hernia, it can be useful to know some common causes. They may be the result of trauma to that area, changes to your diaphragm as you grow older, or persistent pressure, such as vomiting or coughing.  Many hiatal hernias do not have a clear cause. The weakened muscle tissue that allows a hiatal hernia to develop can happen for unknown reasons. If you do identify with one of the common causes and also suffer from symptoms, talk to your doctor about whether you might have a hiatal hernia. Some people are at greater risk for developing a hiatal hernia. If you are concerned that you might have one, consider whether either of the following applies to you:  You are over 50 years of age. You are clinically obese.

Article in English: The stuffed heart will be larger and heavier than the other paper hearts and is thus excellent for larger decorations or gifts. The edges are stitched together and the heart can be decorated as much as you like. Fold the papers in half width-wise or "hamburger style," bringing the two short ends together. Choose a color that suits your preferences for the heart. Crease the paper well in order to hold the halves in place.    If you feel confident in your ability to free-hand draw the heart, you can do so without a pattern or template. Otherwise, find some sort of template that you can trace. You can use a heart-shaped cookie cutter or paper weight as a template, or you can print a heart template onto standard printer paper and cut it out to use as a template. Fold the heart in half once more and use this shape to trace the same half of a heart outline on the other paper. Cut out the second heart as well. You should now have two hearts that look the same. If you plan to decorate the paper heart at all, you should do so before sewing and stuffing. You can decorate you heart with stamps, stickers, markers, colored pencils, crayons, paint, glitter, craft sequins or anything you can think of. Use a thick sewing needle to poke small holes in even intervals along the perimeter of the heart. If young children are completing this project then they should use a slightly blunted needle for safety.  You could also use a paper piercer or the sharp pointed end of a compass instead of a sewing needle. Make sure that the two pieces of paper are stacked and pierced in the same places.     Pierce near the edge but not so close that the edge of the paper may rip. About ½ inch or 1.25 cm would work well.    Thread a sewing needle and start stitching the two paper hearts together, weaving the thread in and out of the holes you pierced. Only sew up 3/4 of the holes so that you can still stuff the heart.   Use thick thread or two to three pieces of thread wrapped together. Begin your stitches from the back, toward the bottom tip of...

Article in English: The swimsuit competition can bring some women to their breaking points as they present partially-clothed bodies to millions.  Avoid showing more than you intend by applying butt glue and sewing a piece of flesh-colored material into your swimsuit bottoms. Wearing flesh-colored heels will not only cause your legs to appear longer, but also will not detract from your fitness and smile. Practice posing for the swimsuit competition in front of a mirror so you know what stances present your body in the best light. By preparing for the swimsuit competition, you will find yourself more confident when you walk across the stage. During the interview, don't give the same cookie-cutter answers that judges hear from everyone. Instead, add your own personality to your answer while still providing a poised and confident response. Unique contestants will be at the forefront of judges' minds. During the evening gown competition, judges are looking for a contestant who is regal and elegant. A contestant's walk is just as important as her choice of gown. Judges score each contestant on how graceful, poised, and composed she appears.  Glide down the runway, with no bouncy movement. Practice the classic “book-on-your-head” method for perfecting posture. Shorter steps also help achieve the proper pageant walk. If you don't win, don't be mad. Take defeat with grace.

Article in English: The team that won the coin toss starts things off. They should choose a single player to act out a slip first. All players on a team must act out a slip at least once before anyone can go for a second turn. If you have difficulty deciding who goes first, have the winner of a quick rock, paper, scissors tournament select a strip and get the game started. Things like the category and the number of words in the phrase will give your teammates a better idea of where to focus their guesses. You can come up with gestures all your own, but usually:  Holding up a number of fingers at the start of a turn indicates the total number of words. Following this with another number of fingers indicates the word you’ll first act out. Laying a number of fingers on your arm indicates the number of syllables for the word. Sweeping your arms broadly through the air indicates “the entire concept.” Some gestures you think will work out great turn out to be a dud. Don’t be afraid to switch to a new gesture. The more hints you give your team with gestures, the more likely they’ll be to figure it out.  When your team guesses the answer, the round ends and your team gets a point. Then the other team repeats this process. If your team doesn’t guess the answer and time runs out, your team passes the turn without getting a point, then the other team tries. If you and your friends are having fun, you don’t have to stop when you run out! Split up and write up some new slips. In some cases, there might be a few really good players on one team, making things imbalanced. Reshuffle teams to make things more fair.

Article in English: The technician will apply special gel to your abdomen and will glide a transducer on top of the gel.  The sound waves reflected off of your bones and other tissues will be converted into black-and-white or gray images on a monitor for measurement by the technician. You may be asked to hold your breath for just a few seconds several times during the exam, which should take about 30 minutes in total. When complete, the technician will assist you with wiping away the conductive gel. You will now be able to urinate if necessary and await the results of the ultrasound. Most technicians will provide you with a printout of some of the more recognizable images, which can be saved as a memento of the pregnancy. Do not attempt to decipher the ultrasound images on your own, as they are nearly impossible to read by the untrained eye. According to the National Library of Medicine, normal results would show that the developing baby, placenta, amniotic fluid, and surrounding structures are normal in appearance and appropriate for the gestational age. You may see this section attached with the ultrasound image written in a separate paper.

Article in English: The thing that will hold you back from thinking outside the box more than anything else is negativity. Consistently telling yourself that you can't think creatively or vetoing every idea as too "out there" is going to severely limit what you come up with.  Consider what it is that you tell yourself about your ideas. When you come up with that amazing book idea do you immediately think "I could never write that?" That is a surefire what to ensure that you never do write that. Whenever you find yourself responding negatively to your ideas, replace the negative thought with a positive or neutral thought. For example: if you found yourself thinking "I'm never going to be able to entice advertisers with these incentives" stop yourself and say "I'm going to test out how these incentives work to get us better advertising faithfulness." Like any skill, creativity needs to be exercised to keep it going. Even when you don't have a particular problem that needs your creative solution, keep working on your creativity. It will help you when you are suddenly confronted with something that needs thinking outside the box.  Alphabetize words. Take a word from a magazine or a billboard and alphabetize its letters. For example: the word NUMBER would be spelled B-E-M-N-R-U. The reason that this exercise boosts your brain functions is that it forces you to use all the information you're given (all the letters) and do something unusual with them. It trains your brain to come up with surprising connections and solutions and look at problems differently. Make a game out of coming up with new or different uses for items in your house. This will teach you to look at items and situations with an eye for the unusual approach. For example: using an old boot as a planter, or building a table out of books. Creativity thrives when you don't stay stuck in the same old routine. Even the littlest changes can have good consequences for getting you out of a rut and encouraging creative thinking.  Get outside your comfort zone. Doing new things,...

Article in English: The tight, evenly-packed crystalline structure of diamonds makes them disperse heat quickly; thus, real diamonds will not heat up easily. Heat probe tests take about 30 seconds and are often done free of charge. It also doesn't hurt the stone the way some other ways of testing will. Heat testing works for the same reasons that the DIY "shatter" test works. Instead of measuring whether the gem breaks under the pressure of rapid contraction, however, heat probes measure how long the diamond retains temperature. Many jewelers keep specialized devices that distinguish diamond from moissanite and can quickly indicate if a stone is a true diamond or a simulant.  A traditional heat probe test will not be able to tell the difference between moissanite and a real diamond. Ensure that the test is being conducted with an electrical conductivity tester and not a thermal tester. If you are testing a lot of diamonds at home, combination testers can be purchased online or at diamond specialty shops. Place the diamond under a microscope with the top facet dace down. Gently rock the diamond back and forth with tweezers. If you see a slight orange flash along the facets, the diamond may actually be Cubic Zirconia. It may also indicate that Cubic Zirconia was used to fill imperfections within the diamond.  To get the best view of the diamond use a 1200x power microscope. Diamonds can be distinguished by very fine differences in weight, since cubic zirconia weighs approximately 55% more than diamonds for the same shape and size. A very sensitive scale capable of measuring down to the carat or grain level is necessary to do this comparison. The only way to accurately perform this test is by having a known real diamond of roughly the same size and shape. Without something to compare it against, you will have difficulty determining if the the weight is off. Many (but not all) diamonds will exhibit blue fluorescence under an ultra violet or black light, so the presence of a medium to strong blue confirms that it is real. The absence...

Article in English: The two commonly available joint compounds are lightweight and all-purpose. Lightweight compound dries quicker than all-purpose and requires less sanding. Joint compound comes in a variety of container sizes, but be advised that smaller containers may cost just as much as the larger ones. If resealed properly, joint compound can be kept for up to 9 months for other around-the-house repairs if you end up with leftover compound. A joint knife and a metal straightedge will enable you to apply the joint compound smoothly and scrape away the excess, so the repair job will look professional instead of lumpy or uneven. Get a sanding sponge to even out the surface after the joint compound has dried. For big holes, you'll need a new piece of drywall to create a patch. Get backing boards, which hold the drywall in place, and purchase a piece of drywall large enough to fill the hole. You'll need paper tape and joint compound to smooth out the joints. The final step to repairing drywall is painting the repaired area so that it matches the rest of the wall. Use the same primer and paint you originally used to paint the wall.

Article in English: The type of apple you choose dictates whether it is best to pre-cook the apples or add uncooked apples and bake them once with the pie.  Use Golden, Spartan, McIntosh and Rome apples if you would prefer not to pre-bake them. These types of apples tend to break down quickly in an oven. Use Granny Smiths, Honeycrisp or Gala apples if you would prefer to pre-bake apples. They are denser and may be too crisp if they are not pre-baked before adding them to the pastry. Core the apples using an apple corer with serrated edges. Insert the corer into the center of the apple. Turn it 360 degrees, and then pull out the core. Use a vegetable peeler or an apple-peeling machine to thoroughly peel approximately 7 very large apples or 12 small apples. If you have apples in many different sizes, aim for approximately 4 cups (684g) of sliced apples. Use a mandolin to thinly slice the apples, if you are not planning on pre-cooking your apples. Thinner slices will bake down more quickly. Cut slices with a knife, if you plan to pre-bake them. Pre-baked apples can be up to 1/2 inch (1.3cm) thick. Pre-cooked apples are slightly sweeter, but the method you use to precook them will determine their crisp texture after baking.  Choose to blanch your apples. You can either drop them into boiling water for 1 minute, or the Food Lab suggests pouring boiling water into a bowl full of sliced apples and letting them sit for 10 minutes before draining. In this method, the pectin in the apples will become a heat-stable form, allowing them to retain some structure and crispiness. Choose to cook them on the stove, if you prefer apple pie filling that is less crispy. Place your apples in a Dutch oven heated to medium heat. #*Stir them occasionally while they heat for 10 minutes. If you choose not to pre-cook your apples, mix them with the juice and zest of 1 lemon immediately after slicing them. Add 3/4 cup (141g) of light brown sugar, 1/4 cup (31g) of all-purpose flour, 3/4 tsp. (2g) ground cinnamon and 1/4 tsp. (.6g) ground nutmeg in a bowl. ...

Article in English: The type of flower you wish to fertilize, whether it is an annual or perennial, and whether it is new growth or an established plant will all play a role in determining when you need to fertilize. Determine the best time to fertilize your specific flowering plants.  Fertilize the soil for annuals, as well as any new planting, during bed preparation. Fertilize established perennials and ornamental grasses as soon as their growth resumes in the spring. Bulbs need fertilizing as soon as growth appears. Roses need fertilizing beginning in May but not after July. You do not want to encourage new growth as fall and winter approach. Before fertilizing, you should water your flowers the way you normally do. It is important for your flowers to get a nice drink before they have been fertilized, but there is no need to overdo it. The soil should be a little damp when you apply fertilizer. Dry roots can be susceptible to fertilizer burn. The simplest way to apply natural fertilizers is to spread them on the soil surface of your planting beds. Natural fertilizers take a much longer time to break down and release their nutrients available into the soil, so it is a good idea to apply them at least a few months before planting, if possible. Granular fertilizers are applied by sprinkling directly onto soil, or by using a spreader. You will want to turn over the soil with a rake to create an even distribution of granules. Granular fertilizers are longer lasting. They can remain in your soil for up to 9 months. Water-soluble fertilizers are made of a type of powder that dissolves in water. Either of these fertilizers can be applied to your flowers. They can be sprayed directly onto the plants and soil. Water-soluble fertilizers remain in the soil for 2-3 weeks. Annual flowers (those that complete their life cycle in one growing season) tend to need more fertilizer than perennial flowers (which return again each year.)

Article in English: The type of trading activity you will do depends largely on why you want to invest in the first place. Before you begin investing, consider what you want to achieve through your investments. Write these goals down, and develop your strategy accordingly.  For example, if you want to save money for retirement, to buy a home, or to send your kids to college, you likely want to invest money as you earn it, and earn an interest rate greater than what a savings account would provide. Your goal may be to invest $200 a month, and to achieve an interest rate of 10%. If you have more short term goals, like saving money for a car down payment, you might want to invest one sum of money and earn 6% interest until you have enough to buy the car you want. Most investors can be classified as either short or long-term investors. Decide which of these fits your needs best. For example, if you have spare money and would like to try investing to make short-term profits, your strategy for trading will be different than if you are investing for retirement or for a child’s future education.  Short-term investing is generally defined as holding a security for less than 3 months, and is higher risk than investing for longer periods of time. Very short-term investments, like day trades, do not tend to provide the same kind of returns as long-term ones, and you should do short term trading only if you plan to dedicate a fair bit of time or hire a financial advisor. Long-term investments average higher returns as securities tend to recover over the long-term from short-term losses. Risk tolerance or your ability and willingness to ride the ups and downs of the market, is dependent on numerous factors. Generally, a younger investor has a longer timeline and can afford to wait for riskier investments to pay off. An older investor with a shorter timeline may have a lower risk tolerance. You also need to consider your net worth (your assets minus your liabilities), risk capital (extra money you have to invest or trade), your level of...

Article in English: The use of visuals can help a patient understand concepts that would otherwise be hard to imagine.  When possible, look for diagrams and charts that show the anatomy of the area you're dealing with. If you cannot find a diagram or chart, compare abstract concepts using concrete analogies and mental images. Let the patient know that you are actively engaged in the appointment by maintaining eye contact and being attentive.  There may be times when you need to look over medical charts and equipment, but you should typically make eye contact with the patient during at least half of the appointment. It is especially important to maintain eye contact when listening to your patient's concerns and questions. Making eye contact also gives you the chance to observe the nonverbal communication your patient is using toward you. Your tone should be firm and professional, but it should also be fairly friendly. The idea is to create a comfortable ambiance rather than one that feels cold or strict. Your patient also needs to feel confident in your abilities, though, so you should always maintain an air of certainty and professionalism.

Article in English: The victim may immediately be transferred from the hospital to a burn center for treatment. Then, remove any clothes or jewelry that are still on the victim if they might constrict the body, which might swell. The burn may cause so much swelling that certain parts of the body become dangerously compressed (compartment syndrome). If this happens, surgery might be needed to relieve the pressure. This would also help blood flow and nerve function. For all major burns, the doctors may give 100% oxygen by intubation, a tube inserted in the windpipe. Vital signs are also immediately monitored. This way, the current state of the patient is assessed and a specific plan for care is made. Stop the loss of fluids and replenish the body of lost fluids with an I.V. solution. Determine the type and amount of fluid based on the individual's burn. Give pain and analgesic medication so the victim can better cope with the pain. Antibiotics are also crucial. Antibiotics are needed because the body's main line of defense against infection (the skin) has been compromised. Medication is needed to keep bacteria from entering and infecting the wound. Recommend a calorie-rich, high-protein diet. This helps to replenish the body with vital energy and protein needed to repair all the damaged cells from the burn.
