Article in English: Remove the lid from the blender and dip a spoon into the fake blood. Drip the fake blood onto a paper towel, so you can get a better idea of what the color looks like. Add more red food coloring or cocoa powder to get the color you want. You can transfer the fake blood to a squeeze bottle and squirt it when you're ready to use it. Just store it in the refrigerator until you need it.

Article in English: Remove the prepared needle from its sterile resting place and carefully insert the tip into the vein at the injection site. Insert the needle so that the medication will be injected in the same direction as the blood flows. Since veins carry blood to the heart, inject the medication so that it also flows to the heart. Make sure that the syringe’s bevel is facing up when you do this. If you have any doubt or question about the proper placement of the needle, check with a qualified doctor or nurse before injecting into a vein. Carefully pull the plunger back by a small amount and watch the syringe to see if blood comes into it when you do this. If there is no blood, you are not in the vein and you will need to remove the needle and try again. If you draw dark red blood, you have successfully hit a vein and can proceed with the rest of the process. If the blood comes out with notable pressure and appears bright red and foamy, you have inserted the needle into an artery. Immediately pull the needle out and apply direct pressure to the site for at least 5 minutes to stop the bleeding. Be especially cautious if you've hit the brachial artery in your inner elbow because excess blood outside the vessel can damage your hand function. Try again with a new needle once the bleeding has stopped. If you applied a tourniquet before inserting the needle, take the tourniquet off at this time. Injecting with a tourniquet still in place may cause the vein to collapse. If the person has also been squeezing their hand into a fist, instruct them to stop at this point. It’s important to inject slowly to avoid putting too much pressure on the vein. Push the plunger with slow, steady pressure until all of the medication has been delivered. After delivering the medication, remove the needle slowly and immediately apply pressure to the injection site. Press a piece of gauze or a cotton ball over the injection site for 30 to 60 seconds to stop the bleeding. If bleeding is excessive and does not stop, call for emergency medical care....

Article in English: Remove your (now roughly room temperature) meat from the marinade and use a paper towel to blot your meat so that it is somewhat dry. Paint the bars of the grill lightly with a little olive or canola oil, then gently lay your meat down. You should immediately hear a sizzling sound — if you don't, your grill probably isn't hot enough. Let your meat cook with the grill uncovered. Resist the urge to turn the meat frequently — doing this can dry the meat out. The exact amount of time each side of your meat will take to cook can vary greatly based both on the level of "done"-ness you're looking for and on the thickness of your meat. In general, thicker cuts will require a few more minutes per side, as will (obviously) more well-done dishes. Below are some general guidelines for how long to spend cooking your meat per side:  For rare: 2 minutes for a 1/2 inch (1.27 centimeter) steak, 2-3 minutes for a 3/4 inch (1.9 centimeter) steak, 3-4 minutes for a 1 inch (2.54 centimeter) steak. For medium: 3-4 minutes for a 1/2 inch steak, 4-5 minutes for a 3/4 inch steak, 5-6 minutes for a 1 inch steak. For well-done: 5-6 minutes for a 1/2 inch steak, 6-7 minutes for a 3/4 inch steak, 8-9 minutes for a 1 inch steak. If you divided your grill into a hot section and a cooler section (as directed above), once your meat starts to approach done-ness, if you like, you can transfer it to the cooler section. Leave it here for several more minutes with the grill cover closed. Cooking the meat for a longer period of time over lower heat helps get it as tender as possible — this is why exceptionally tough cuts of beef like brisket are sometimes cooked at low heat all day. If you didn't have time to apply a marinade before cooking, you still have a chance to give your meat some extra flavor during the cooking process. Using a grill brush and a small bowl of your favorite sauce, paint the top side of the meat generously, then repeat after you flip it. Give each side another application of sauce about thirty seconds before you plan to...

Article in English: Remove your chicken from the package and pat it down with paper towels. Rub a little butter or olive oil onto the chicken to add moisture and flavor. If you're using any seasoning, sprinkle it on both sides of the chicken now. For example, you could add something like garlic and dried basil or a cajun seasoning mix. It depends on what flavor you're going for. Lining with foil will make for easy cleanup. Place the chicken in a baking dish. If you're cooking more than one chicken breast, keep them slightly apart. You do not want them to touch. You can also add something like lemon slices or wedges to add extra flavoring to your chicken. If using skinless chicken, cover the baking dish with parchment paper. Take one sheet of parchment paper and cover one side with butter. Lay it on top of the chicken. Then, tuck the edges of the parchment paper underneath the breast to keep the chicken fully covered. The parchment will act almost like the chicken skin helping it to remain moist and keeping it from drying out.

Article in English: Replacing one meal a day is enough to make an impact on weight loss. Because no meal replacement can ever truly replace the benefits of eating a real meal, it’s best to limit their intake to ensure that your diet is well rounded.  If you’re only using one meal replacement a day, you’ll have the opportunity to learn how to make healthier choices with your other meals. Then when you’re eventually not using meal replacements, you’ll know how to make healthy choices for all of your meals.  You can only safely replace every meal with meal replacements under the supervision of a doctor who provides you with medical grade products. Because most people eat the same thing for breakfast every day, using your meal replacement at breakfast will reduce the monotony of eating the same meal replacement. If you’re prone to skipping breakfast, use your meal replacement for this meal since breakfast is the foundational meal for long-term weight control. People who eat breakfast are more likely to lose weight and eat less later in the day, because they start their day with the energy their bodies need. Meal replacements are best for helping you kick off weight loss. They can teach you portion control by helping you understand how much you should eat. They’ll also help you lose weight, which is a great motivator to encourage you to want to learn how to eat healthily for every meal. Learn how to develop healthy eating habits when you’re on meal replacements, so you don’t see the weight pile back on after you’ve gone off of them. Meal replacements aren’t great for long-term use because they’re monotonous, they’re expensive, and they’re not always readily available in real life situations like dining out.

Article in English: Research a reputable canoe company and select the model of strip canoe you'd like to put together. Place your order and wait for the kit to arrive. Your kit should contain the wood for your canoe, the layout and instructions, some hardware, and fiberglass cloth. You may require other tools to actually assemble your strip canoe. This will ensure that you are completely prepared. Make sure you have all the necessary tools and equipment to put together your canoe. This may take several hours, depending on the difficulty of the canoe you've chosen. Take your time to really read and visualize the instructions. If you don't understand a step or two, contact the company for assistance. This will save you time in the long run. This is what you will build your strip canoe on. Place a long thin table or platform on top of saw horses or blocks. The platform or piece of wood should be completely level. Your sawback will probably be 12 to 15' long and will act as the skeleton around which you'll assemble your strip canoe. Hopefully, your kit contains molds or outlines for forms. Forms act as a support system to shape and hold strips that are stretched and attached to your sawback. Trace the forms onto particle board and use a saw to cut them out.  The forms will appear mushroom-shaped when stacked. The wider end will be placed on the bottom of your sawhorse or the bottom of your canoe. Some kits may include pre-cut forms. In this case, simply spread them out in the correct order and begin to attach them to the sawback. You'll want to attach the forms to station blocks, small 1" wide pieces of wood. Make sure the wider part of the form is connected to the station block. Then attach the station blocks flat on the sawback using drywall screws. Attach your forms/station blocks about 12" from each other and make sure they are evenly centered. This will keep your boat aligned. Depending on whether or not your kit includes them, you may have to cut 2 quarter-circle sections that will hold the shape at the end of your canoe....

Article in English: Research shows that one of the most effective ways to deal with an unwanted thought is to simply let it run its course. However, that doesn't mean you necessarily have time to do that in any given moment. Create a "worry period," a set time each day when you are allowed to worry. Consider the rest of your day a worry-free zone.  Set your worry period for the same time each day and early enough that it won't make you anxious right before bed.  If a bad thought comes into your mind, notice it and tell yourself you will worry about it later. You can even keep a notebook to jot it down or simply say to yourself: "I want to remain calm. I will come back to this later." It may or may not come up again.  If the thought returns, make a tick next to it in your notebook. Say to yourself, "Yes, I will get to you, just not right now." Go over your list during your designated worry period. If the bad thoughts or worries still bother you, then go ahead and worry about them, but only for the set worry period. If they no longer bother you, cross them off and move on.  Postponing your worries will break the habit of dwelling on bad thoughts and disrupting your day, but at the same time you're not battling to suppress or block the thought. If the thought continues to arise repetitively, you may need to discuss it with a mental health professional. For instance, when the unhelpful thought occurs, make a mental note that it did occur. It might be something you say out of habit to yourself, or it might be something in your environment, something someone said or did, that triggered a bad memory.  When people remember the bad memory AND engage in it, they relive the memory, emotions and all, unless they are aware that they are being triggered. Once you become aware, you can work on postponing the bad thought, as described above. You can acknowledge that yes, bad things have happened in your life, and you understand why you were reminded of this memory in this instance, but you practice (or at least consider) putting it aside for...

Article in English: Research suggests that the harder you try to relax, the more stressed out you’re likely to become. Practice these regularly. This may seem at odds with the previous step, but it isn’t, as it involves learning to relax, not trying to. Some things to learn:  Deep, slow breathing Meditation Yoga Self-awareness Part of learning how to relax is learning what relaxes you. Deep breathing and meditation are generally accepted as fundamental to any relaxation practice, but you will find other things that relax you too. Examples of other things that relax you might include knitting, reading a book, going for a walk, or playing a musical instrument. If you don’t schedule things, chances are you won’t do them. Look at your week and purposefully schedule in time to practice relaxation. Be specific about the time and the activity, and stick to your plan. For example, you might practice deep breathing between 6 and 6:15 p.m. every Thursday night, or read a book every Sunday between 8 and 9 p.m. A lot of people imagine sitting quietly for hours on end with a clear mind, and give up on meditation before they begin. The truth is, keeping a clear mind and sitting quietly is difficult for most of us. Here are some tips to get started:  Start with short 3- to 5-minute sessions. If even that seems too long for you, try just a minute or two to start. Setting a timer on your phone can be helpful. Know what to expect from yourself. Don't expect your mind to be completely clear while meditating. It’s more useful to work on catching yourself when your mind drifts. With time, you’ll become quicker at catching your mind and setting it back on track. Meditate in your own way. If you struggle with sitting and doing nothing, try a walking meditation, where you focus your attention on the act of walking and the sensations that accompany it. You can also try a guided meditation, of which there are many videos and audio clips online. If you miss a day practicing your relaxation techniques (deep breathing, meditation, yoga, walking etc.), don’t...

Article in English: Research your area online to find any print or online arts quarterlies. They require events to be submitted 1 to 3 months in advance, so begin your research as soon as your dates and other information is set. If your demographic is over the age of 40, it is a good idea to focus equally on print and online marketing. Most local magazines list social calendars that require events to be submitted up to a month in advance. Submit photos if that option is available to you, and ask to be listed on the website as well. Many local magazines and newspapers have reasonable rates. Print advertising will generally be cheaper if you can provide your own graphic design. Do not advertise an art event with a print ad if you are promoting a very exclusive show for collectors. If your show is by invitation only, then you will encourage large, famous collectors by creating a buzz of exclusivity around the event. This means you will have them back to send to your gallery database and post 1 month from the show's date. Postcards can be sent by mail as an announcement and given out at the show. Calendars can be sold at the event to supplement income from art sales; just make sure you have the artists' rights to print their photographs.

Article in English: Responsibility means doing the things that need to be done. It also means being honest and reliable. All of this plays into what parents will say when you ask them for a sleepover. If you want to be treated maturely, be mature. Don't expect this to work overnight, though. Just because you are mature for one whole day does not mean that your parents will let you go to a sleepover. Whether you have your parents' trust or not, permission often depends on the night you're planning the sleepover for. If you want to sleepover on a school night, parents are usually unlikely to give you permission. On the other hand, a night during summer vacation will stand a better chance. If you want to increase the chances of getting permission, you should plan to spend the night when there's nothing happening the next day.  Sleepovers are generally harder to get permission for if they're co-ed. Moms and dads can be uncomfortable if boys and girls are sleeping over together, and may have firmer rules depending on their values.  The size of the sleepover also matters. Some parents will be more comfortable with smaller sleepover than bigger ones. Earning your parent's trust is not something that happens overnight. It can also be difficult and slow to rebuild if it is broken. In order to have trust between parent and child, you should be talking to them every day. Let them know about everything that's happening in your life. It's good to make this a normal thing for your relationship with them. This will help a lot more than your chances for sleepovers.  Trust goes both ways. If you want your parents to trust you, then you should give them a chance and trust them too. A good way to show your parents that you trust them is to listen to their advice. In an adult's world, play needs to be balanced out with work. In your case, keeping up with homework and household chores will prove that you deserve to go out and let loose. If there's anything that needs to be done before you ask them make a point of doing it first. Don't let an...

Article in English: Resume templates can be very useful if you are uncertain about how to format your resume, or you are not confident using the formatting tools on Word on another word processing programme. If you prefer create your own format and not to use a template, start by planning out which sections you will be including and how they will be organised. A resume should generally include the following sections:  Education and qualifications. Work and volunteer experience. Skills and qualities. It should also include your full contact details and state that references are available upon request. There are a number of different types of resume, including the chronological resume, the functional resume, the combination resume, and the curriculum vitae (CV). The chronological resume lists your work experience from your most recent position to your earliest position, with your responsibilities for each position listed under the position title and dates you held it. This type of resume helps you to show how you have progressed over time.  Most chronological resumes only cover the last 5 to 10 years of your employment history. You may wish to include positions earlier than this if they are appropriate to the job you're seeking. This is the format most American employers prefer to see resumes in. The functional resume lists your key job skills first, then follows with a list of positions you've held. It can be useful to highlight your particular skills while hiding gaps in your employment history, but it is generally not advisable for students or recent graduates to use this format. It can be a useful format for those looking to translate their current job skills into a different field. A third option is the combination resume, sometimes known as a skills-based resume. This format enables you to highlight your skills most prominently, but also to tie them to your practical work experience. This can be helpful if your skills are more relevant than your work experience for the position you are applying for, but this format is...

Article in English: Resume titles play an important role in determining your success as a candidate when you apply for a job, as they showcase your capabilities from the very first glance. However, it is extremely important to keep your resume title updated, so that it reflects your growing capabilities as effectively and accurately as possible. It may be necessary to change your title after a promotion, as your job position as well as your responsibilities are likely to change.  Your new role may have a set of responsibilities that you never handled, or you may get some special skills that take your profile to a whole new level. In such a case, neglecting to change your resume title may get you overlooked for opportunities that you may be capable of handling very efficiently. When you are handed new possibilities at work, it is important to update your title to portray these enhanced capabilities.  You may be given a new product to handle or a new geography to oversee, which can significantly enhance your personal profile. Whenever you gain experience that may be improving your chances to bag that dream job, just go ahead and display. However, you should refrain from over exaggerating relatively minor changes. When you are applying a job that uses very specific skills or keywords, it is a good practice to tweak your title to showcase your fitment to this role. As mentioned in the section above, it is important to use keywords and phrases that are relevant to the recruiter with respect to the job being discussed.

Article in English: Retinoids are derivatives of vitamin A which are used in many anti-aging and acne products.  Retinoids increase cell turnover, which helps to unclog the pores and may make them less noticeable.  Retinol, a relatively gentle retinoid, is available in many anti-aging products sold at drug stores and beauty supply stores. Tretinoin is a stronger retinoid commonly used to treat acne and available only with a prescription; you would need to speak to your doctor or dermatologist before pursuing this treatment. Laser treatments provide a more permanent solution to large pores.  Non-ablative laser treatments like Medlite, Genesis and Fraxel increase collagen production which tightens pores, causing them to look smaller. The major drawback to laser treatment is the cost. You will probably require two to three sessions, at $500 a pop. Accutane is a prescription medication for severe acne. It is also a very strong medication which causes severe skin dryness. This medication can unclog pores and reduce oil production.

Article in English: Reunions can be funded through alumni donations, class gifts, alumni association dues, or ticket sales. No matter how you handle the finances of your reunion, you will want to keep meticulous records. This task will likely fall to your Class Treasurer or reunion committee member who will handle ticket sales. Make sure that any money you collect for the reunion is being spent responsibly and that you stick to your budget. Perhaps you already have funds available from class gifts or alumni association dues. Or perhaps the money from the event will have to come entirely from ticket sales. No matter what, you need to determine a total budget for the event. Make sure that you do not rely on high ticket sales or expensive tickets. You want the event to be manageable for everyone, and expensive tickets can hurt attendance. Make sure you keep room in your budget for:  Bartending and catering Event space rental Party supply rental (tables, chairs, cups, a/v equipment, etc.) Decorations Souvenirs (gift bags, special T-shirts, etc.) Other vendors (photographers, clean-up crews, DJs, etc.) Ideally, a reunion will be on a weekend during the late spring or summer, when people are more able to travel freely. Your reunion could be a full weekend affair with many activities, or it can simply be a gathering on a Friday or Saturday evening. If you like, you can ask your classmates to vote on several possibilities for a reunion date. By using a Doodle poll or Google survey, you can encourage attendance amongst your guests. A vital part of the planning is considering exactly where you are going to hold the event. Be sure that the venue is appropriate for the size of your gathering, the tone you wish to set, and your budget. The venue should also be a short drive from your old high school to make it easy for classmates to attend. Some excellent venues to consider include:  Your old high school gym or auditorium A local hotel ballroom A banquet hall or restaurant A community center A park picnic site Use your contact list to send...

Article in English: Review your brainstorming, placing related ideas in the same group. It’s okay if you have a lot of information at first. You can always eliminate ideas you realize are unnecessary. These groups will become main points, so narrow your groups down until you have your desired number of main points. For an essay or speech, that often means 3, but a creative piece may have more.  If you jotted down your ideas or made a mind map, use different colored highlighters to identify ideas that belong in the same group. Sort your index cards, if you used them to brainstorm. Put cards with related ideas together. For example, you can put them in stacks, or you can line your cards out in rows to make them easier to read. Broad ideas are more likely to be your main points, while details are the bits of information you will use to support those ideas. Depending on the purpose of your outline, you may have many subpoints and supporting details. However, aim to have at least 2-3 subpoints and 2-3 supporting details for each main idea.  For example, your main point might be that Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein champions emotion over reason. Your subpoints might be that Victor Frankenstein is restored by nature and that his scientific efforts create a monster. As supporting details, you might include quotes from the book. If you're writing a story or presenting a historical argument, a chronological order makes sense. For an essay or speech, pick the subtopic with the most supporting materials, and lead with this argument. From there, order your major subtopics so each one naturally flows into the next. Your broad ideas should connect back to your thesis or controlling idea. If they don’t, rewrite your thesis to reflect the main ideas you’re putting into your outline. You can use either phrases or full sentences, depending on which you chose to use. Some people prefer to write out their introduction, which is also okay. Here are the points you need in your introduction:  Hook to grab the audience 1-2 general statements about your...

Article in English: Rhinestones with a flatback are not a necessity but will stick much nicer than rounded-back rhinestones, simply because the skin under your lip is flat. This allows the rhinestones to be flush with your skin. Don’t limit yourself to the beauty store. Check your local craft store for an endless supply of rhinestones. When choosing a rhinestone, it may be best to purchase a variety pack. This allows you to test several sizes on your face before committing to one. For example, a 5 mm rhinestone may seem like a wise choice but may actually be too large for your face. Try a 2.5 mm or 3 mm rhinestone. This compares in size to some real lip studs without looking gaudy or overdone. Use a semi permanent marker to play with location of your fake lip stud. Experiment to see if you would prefer the middle, a side, both sides, your top lip or your bottom lip. If you want both sides of your lip to have a fake stud, place a strip of tape below where you want to mark your face. This ensures even marking. When your lip stud eventually falls off, your skin may be left feeling tacky and gross if you’ve used spirit gum as an adhesive. In order to prevent this, pick up a spirit gum remover. The remover will wash away any remaining tackiness or dryness from the glue.

Article in English: Ribs have a thick membrane that needs to be removed before cooking - otherwise it gets tough and chewy. Slide your fingers under the membrane and work it off, or use a knife or screwdriver to help it come loose. Discard the membrane once it is removed.  Be sure to get every last shred of membrane, since you don't want bits of chewy membrane on your ribs. You can ask the butcher to remove it for you. You can use a rub and let the seasoning seep into the ribs overnight, or skip this step and mop the beef with barbecue sauce during the cooking process. Some chefs contend that brining overnight with a rub improves the flavor, while others prefer not to infuse the beef with spices and salt. Either method will result in fall-apart ribs that are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.  If you're using a rub, you need to plan ahead so you have time to let the ribs brine overnight. Just rub your dry spice mix over both sides of the racks, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. Make a homemade rub with the following ingredients:  3 Tablespoons salt 2 Tablespoons chili powder 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Article in English: Riding public transit is great because it gives you time to answer emails, read work-related materials, or work on your laptop during your commute.  This means that you’ll have more time to spend with your family when you’re at home. You could also check for alternate routes and short cuts.  Lay a map out on your table of your municipality.  Trace your route to work on the map.  Look for alternate routes and give them a try.  If they save you time, use them instead of the route you’ve been taking. There are several ways to streamline your time at work so as to maximize family time.  You could change when you work, how you work, or where you work.  Working from home will increase the amount of time you’re able to spend with your family.  Use your breaks to spend time with your family. Work from home.  Many productive and enjoyable occupations can be done at home.  If you are a writer, graphic designer, or artist, you might be able to convince your employer to let you work from home – or go into business for yourself. Before asking your boss if you can work from home, talk to someone in your Human Resources department to determine if such a request could be accommodated. Cut back on work-related travel.  Ask your boss if you could conduct conferences that you’d normally have to travel to via an online webcam program like Skype.  Volunteer for shorter trips that don’t keep you away from home for so long instead of the longer trips that take you further from your family. Encourage your boss to assign some of the work-related travel to other employees. Take care of emails and projects early in the morning before your family rises, or late at night after they are asleep. Shopping can take a lot of time.  In order to cut back on time wasted on shopping, buy things online.

Article in English: Rifles are designed to fire a single projectile, often smaller than most pistol bullets, at a much higher rate of speed. Carbines are usually lighter in weight, and are shorter barreled (and stocked) than full blown rifles.  They often fire the same cartridges, however due to their length they are often chambered in smaller, less powerful calibers. Unlike pistol bullets, which typically create narrow permanent wound channels, the greatly increased speed of rifle bullets create a shock wave that can permanently destroy large amounts of tissue, greatly increasing your chances of stopping the threat with a single reasonably placed shot.     Rifle cartridges are far more powerful than handgun cartridges.  This greater power means you can shoot effectively at a much longer distance.     Rifles still require a good deal of precision, but the dexterity needed for a pistol is not necessary, and stopping power is much improved.    As with any long gun, maneuverability is greatly reduced due to its overall length. Home defense situations may require you to place the stock below your shoulder, reducing your accuracy.  Movement around corners and through doors may be hampered by your barrel preceding you through the door, warning an enemy that you're there.     Rifles are also more capable of "over penetration". This is where the bullet passes through an object, such as a wall, or your intended target and continue on with enough force to injure or kill.  Over penetration can be mitigated through proper ammunition choice, but is always a serious consideration with rifles.     Rifle ammunition is much more expensive than handgun ammunition. This can mean that it is more expensive to practice with your rifle, and reduce the amount of training and practice you can afford.     The overall length of rifles also means that they are slower to aim than a handgun due to their weight.  Compared to a pistol, swinging a rifle around to engage a threat can take longer, and in a self defense situation, lost time can be deadly.

Article in English: Right before ovulation is the woman’s most fertile time. The body temperature rises slightly right after the woman has ovulated, then remains elevated for the remainder of the cycle, until your next period. You are most fertile during the days in your cycle directly before the temperature rise. Because the incremental temperature change from day to day is so small, regular thermometers will not provide accurate results. Basal temperature thermometers are digital thermometers available at drugstores. The most accurate readings are taken in the vagina or rectum, but there are also basal temperature thermometers designed to take readings in the mouth. Stick with the same method during the entire process, and try to measure at the same depth and angle each time. It’s important to take your temperature at the same time every day, since it fluctuates throughout the day. Ideally, take it first thing in the morning, after at least five hours of sleep and before getting out of bed. Record your temperature within 1/10 of a degree. Use a dot or other symbol on your chart to mark days when other factors may alter the reading, including illness, restless sleep, and fever reduction medicines such as aspirin, Tylenol, and Motrin. The average woman’s body temperature is 96–98ºF (35.6–36.7ºC) before ovulation, and 97–99ºF (36.1–37.2ºC) after ovulation. If you get results significantly outside this range, consult the thermometer instructions to make sure you are using it correctly. Record your daily result on a temperature chart that allows you to create a graph, tracking your temperature changes over time. See Baby Center Sample Chart for a sample Basal Temperature chart.

Article in English: Rinse the cabbage thoroughly under running water and cut it into bite-sized pieces.  Remove any damaged leaves from the freshly cleaned cabbage. Cut the head of cabbage in half lengthwise, if it has not been cut in half already. Cut each half into half again, forming even quarters. Cut two quarters of the cabbage crosswise into 2-inch (5-cm) pieces. Each standard block of firm tofu should be cut into a total of 16 bite-sized pieces.  Cut the block in half lengthwise. Cut each section in half crosswise, forming quarters. Cut each quarter in half once more, forming eighths. Place the knife halfway down the side of the block and cut the stacked eighths in half that way, forming a total of 16 pieces. For both the enoki mushrooms and the shiitake mushrooms, wipe away any dirt with a damp paper towel and dry with a separate, clean paper towel. Remove the stems.  For enoki mushrooms, you will need to trim off the base connecting the mushroom strands together. Break the top portions off into small bunches. For shiitake mushrooms, you simply need to cut off and discard the stems. The carrot should be cut into thin, round coins and the leek should be sliced into 2-inch (5-cm) pieces.  Peel the carrot before cutting it. You could use negi or green onions instead of a leek, if desired. Use a sharp knife to shave the beef into paper thin slices, measuring no thicker than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm). If you go to an Asian market, you might be able to find pre-sliced "shabu shabu" meat. This beef is just as good as home-sliced beef and can save you a bit of time.

Article in English: Rinse the entire surface of the car thoroughly before applying soap. Make sure to remove loose dirt and debris to avoid scratching your car. Remove leaves, twigs, and other debris with your hands. Set the hose on a high-pressure setting to rinse hard-to-remove dirt, debris, and grime. However, make sure the pressure isn't too high so as not to remove your car's wax or paint. And work on one section at a time. Make sure to completely rinse each section with water after you finish cleaning it with soap. This will prevent the soap from drying onto your car. Then scrub your car in a straight up and down motion. Do not clean the car in a circular motion. Scrubbing in a circular motion can cause swirl marks. Rinse it in the second bucket that contains water after each use. If your sponge falls onto the ground, make sure to rinse it in the water. If not, the debris on the sponge may scratch your car. This can cause watermarks and streaking. Instead, use a soft-terry towel or a chamois (synthetic or natural) to dry it. Try blotting the water instead of wiping it to dry your car.

Article in English: Roasting zucchini at a high temperature will cause the flesh to caramelize and turn golden brown, making the dish especially flavorful. Rinse away any dirt and debris that may be left on the skin. Use a scrubber if necessary to make sure it is entirely clean. Place a zucchini on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut it lengthwise. Turn the zucchini halves and use the knife to cut the halves into 1-inch pieces. Repeat with the remaining zucchinis.  When roasting zucchini, it's not necessary to peel away the green skin. The skin will soften as the vegetable roasts, so there's no reason to discard it. If you wish, you can roast entire zucchini halves, or cut them into long strips like dill pickles. Cut them into whatever shape you like. Place the Italian seasoning, pepper, and salt in a bowl and mix them all together. Place it in a bowl and pour the olive oil over it, then use tongs to toss the mixture until the zucchini is entirely coated. Add the garlic to the bowl. Pour the seasoning mix over the zucchini, then toss again to coat the pieces in spices. Make sure the pieces aren't overlapping - they should be in one single layer so they cook evenly. Bake for 7 minutes, then open the oven and turn the pieces over. Bake for another 7 minutes, or until the zucchini are golden brown.

Article in English: Rodents can carry dangerous diseases and transmit them to humans. To protect yourself from bites, scratches, and contamination, it’s important that you wear a pair of thick gloves. Good gloves for this job include work gloves, gardening gloves designed for roses, or heavy-duty leather gloves. Pick up the trap with the mouse and gently transfer it to a clear plastic container or box. The container should have surface dimensions a little greater than the sticky trap, and should be at least 4 inches (10.2 cm) deep. Use an old rag or towel that you don’t mind throwing out afterward. Gently lay the towel over the mouse’s head to keep it calm. Place one hand over the mouse near the shoulders and delicately hold the mouse in place while you work. Concentrate the oil around where the mouse is stuck. Use as little oil as possible, and avoid getting oil on the mouse directly as much as you can. Use a cotton swab or cloth to massage the oil into the glue. You can use cooking spray or baby oil as a last resort, but liquid vegetable oil is ideal for this job. Continue massaging the area around the mouse for a few minutes. Eventually, the glue will begin to loosen and the mouse will be able to release itself from the trap. As soon as the mouse is free, remove the trap from the container. Dispose of the trap in a plastic bag, and seal the bag before transferring it to a garbage can. Soak an old rag or cloth with warm water and wring out the excess. Use the cloth to remove any excess oil that may be on the mouse’s paws, head, or body. Oil will prevent the mouse from regulating its body temperature, so it’s important to remove as much as possible. Place a small bowl of fresh water into the container with the mouse. Place a large towel over the container to make the inside of the box dark, warm, and quiet. Give the mouse at least an hour to rest and relax. Whenever possible, the mouse should be released to a specialist for care. When it’s not possible to release the mouse to a wildlife rehabilitator or veterinarian, ask the...

Article in English: Roll up your patient’s sleeve if it is in the way. Make sure that you use a blood pressure cuff that fits your patient’s arm. You should be able to wrap the cuff around your patient’s arm so that it is snug, but not too tight. If the blood pressure cuff is too small or too large, get a different size. You can also use the diaphragm if you have trouble hearing with the bell. You will be listening for Korotkoff sounds, which are low tone knocking sounds that indicate the patient’s systolic blood pressure. Find your pulse in your inner arm to help you determine where your brachial artery is located. You can find the reading by looking at the sphygmomanometer, which is the gauge on the blood pressure cuff. Then, release air from the cuff at a moderate rate (3mm/sec). As you release the air, listen with the stethoscope and keep your eyes on the sphygmomanometer (gauge on the blood pressure cuff). The first knocking sound that you hear is your patient’s systolic blood pressure. Note that number, but keep watching the sphygmomanometer. After the first sound stops, note the number that it stops on. That number is the diastolic pressure. Deflate and take the blood pressure cuff off of your patient right after you have gotten the second number. When you are done, you should have two numbers that make up your patient’s blood pressure. Record these numbers side by side, separated by a slash. For example, 110/70. You may want to re-measure if the patient’s blood pressure is high. A systolic blood pressure above 120 or a diastolic blood pressure above 80 indicates that your patient may have high blood pressure. In that case, your patient should seek further evaluation by a doctor.

Article in English: Rooting hormone is a powder or liquid that encourages the branch to grow new roots from young cells. There are a plethora of different kinds of rooting hormones available, but many gardeners like to use honey. Carefully coat the end of the stem and transfer the stem to the rooting medium. Try to avoid touching the end of the cutting with your hands, as they can transfer oils onto the stem that prevent the rooting hormone from working. This method is best for first-time propagators, because it allows you to watch the roots as they grow. Fill a clear bottle with 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) of warm water, and add a drop of hydrogen peroxide. Carefully place the cuttings into the bottle, making sure that the leaves don't touch the water.  Remember to change the water out once per week. Simply remove the cutting from the water, pour out the water, and replace it with new water to prevent microbes from forming. Using this method, you'll be able to monitor the growth of the plant. After about a week, you will see white bumps, and after about 4 weeks, you should see roots forming. You can use tap water as long as you don't have a water softener. Softened water has too much sodium for hibiscus to propagate successfully. If you took your cuttings later in the season, they might be a darker green color and have some bark growing on them, which can make rooting more difficult. Prepare a container with 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) of topsoil, and use a pencil to make holes for the cuttings. Gently place the cuttings into the holes and press the soil around them. Don't push the stems into the soil without making a hole first because the grittiness of the dirt can damage the stem and remove the rooting hormone. Make a mixture of 3 parts sand and 1 part peat moss in a container. Water the potting medium evenly, and use a pencil to make holes for the cuttings. Then, gently lower the cuttings into the holes and press the soil around them. After the cuttings are in the box, water them again to prevent them from drying out too quickly....

Article in English: Rosemary seedlings will do best if you don’t transplant them until they're well-established, the risk of frost has past, and the ground has had time to warm up. If you started the seeds inside 10 to 12 weeks before the last frost, the rosemary should be ready to go outside in late May. You can either transplant the rosemary directly to the garden, or grow it in a pot so you can bring it inside in winter. Rosemary needs lots of direct sunlight to thrive. The plant will do best somewhere that gets at least 6 to 8 hours of sun every day. This is especially true if you want to grow the rosemary indoors over the winter. Before planting the rosemary, till the soil to a depth of about 12 inches (30 cm). To improve the drainage of the soil, add 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) of sand, aged compost, or rotted manure to the garden bed and till it into the soil. This is especially important if your soil has a high clay content, because rosemary needs well-draining soil. Use a spade or your hand to dig holes in the soil that are large enough to accommodate the rosemary root balls. Space the holes 18 to 24 inches (46 to 61 cm) apart.  Place one rosemary plant in each hole and cover the roots with fresh soil. Rosemary is somewhat drought-resistant and doesn’t like to be overwatered. But it’s also important that the roots don’t dry out. When the top of the soil dries out, water the plant thoroughly to soak the soil and the roots.

Article in English: Roughly 20 to 30 minutes of rapid walking can aid in the digestive process. Walking quickly will help relieve bloating better than a slow walk. Walking is gentle enough to prevent further stomach upset, but it also provides enough physical activity to keep food and trapped air moving through the digestive tract. The increased heart rate and breathing causes the digestive muscles to push air and food through the intestines. Bloating can come with a host of other uncomfortable feelings. Heat can reduce the pain from bloating, and it can help relax you, which can relieve the gas or constipation causing the bloating. There are many ways you can apply heat:  Place a heating pad on your stomach for direct heat. Take a hot bath or shower. Relax in a sauna. For five minutes, gently apply pressure in a small circular motion to a spot roughly four finger-widths above your belly button. This technique is known as acupressure. Putting gentle pressure on your abdomen can ease physical stress on the stomach, reducing any present tension and bloating. If your bloating is caused by constipation, it can also help encourage going to the bathroom. your body. Lay down on your back in a dark room. Read a book. Meditate. Relaxation can help relieve the symptoms of chronic bloating. If you are frequently stressed and you suffer from bloating, try taking some time out of your day to peacefully rest. Your body will be relaxed enough to either pass the gas or constipation that is causing your bloating.

Article in English: Rub a drop of white vinegar onto the cloudy surface with your finger. If the cloudiness clears or moves around, you're dealing with a hard water film. Continue to the next step. If it stays cloudy, the glass is probably scratched. This is almost always permanent, but there are ways to prevent it from occurring. Do not skip this step. If you mistake scratched glass for hard water film, the treatments can make the scratches worse. Hard water films are caused by alkaline minerals in the water. A mild acid will neutralize these minerals and dissolve the film. Here's how to apply it:  Rinse the glass in plain water. Traces of soap can react with vinegar and leave a greasy residue.  Soak a sponge in vinegar and rub thoroughly over the cloudy area. Rinse in hot water. You can also use acetone or nail polish remover instead of vinegar. If the film is still there, give the vinegar more time to work:  Wrap vinegar-soaked paper towels inside and outside the glass. (For large loads, submerge the glasses in vinegar instead.) Wait 15 minutes. Rinse in hot water. Try scrubbing the glasses with baking soda after you soak them with vinegar to clean them more. If vinegar won't cut through the film, try this treatment instead. The heat of the dishwasher should help.  Remove all metal objects, dishes with metallic paint, and dishes with delicate patterns.  Add citric acid crystals or a film/spot remover instead of dishwasher detergent. (Check the product label for specific instructions.)  Adjust your water heater setting to 140ºF (60ºC). If the dishwasher is hooked up to a sink supply, run the hot water until hot.  Run the dishwasher as usual. Run a second rinse cycle with plain water if the product label directs you to. The hard water will continue leaving a film on your dishes. Take steps to prevent this:  Try using more detergent. Fill both of the detergent dispensers if you need to. Test the hot water in your house with a thermometer. If it doesn't reach 140ºF (60ºC), raise the temperature of your hot water heater. Buy a...

Article in English: Rules are very important in clans to help keep everyone on the same page and give yourself concrete reasons for kicking out the bad seeds. Give a warning that anyone who breaks any rules will be kicked out, then follow up on your punishments if it comes to that. Letting it slide once will ensure that it'll happen again in the future. You've got to rule with an iron fist.  Make sure your rules can be enforced and are specific. Saying that you'll kick out anyone who's "lazy" is hard to understand, and can undermine your authority if one person defines laziness differently than another. Be specific in your rules and your warnings. Common rules include rules against cursing, rules that everyone needs to use both attacks, and rules that everyone should participate at certain times to make clan wars a success. . Good clans all have one thing in common: strong defensive networks. Set up a defense first, and make sure to keep the storage stuff well defended. Mortars must stay near the town hall and cannons outside those. Only attack someone you know you can handle. Single-player missions are not worth the money you'll spend to beat the money.

Article in English: Run the brush or comb through your hair, ensuring that there are no tangles. Make your way through each part of your hair, pulling from the roots to the tips of your hair. Use a wide-toothed comb for curly hair and a fine-toothed comb for straight hair. As you are twisting around the pencil, bring your section of hair closer to one end of the pencil to bunch the hair together. Make sure that you cannot see the pencil under your hair, but do not overlap the hair over each twist. This allows for a more natural looking curl that continues from the top to bottom. It will also help you to flat-iron your hair, not the pencil. Make sure that your iron is not too hot as it can burn your hair. For fine and chemically treated hair, use a low heat setting below 200 degrees. For thicker or coarse hair, set it to 200-300 degrees. Never go above 400 degrees. Wait about 3-5 seconds for each twist, gently pressing the hair on the pencil. Be careful not to press your fingers with the hot iron. After ironing, hold the twist for about 10 seconds.  For extra hold, spritz hairspray when holding the coiled hair. If you feel that they are too tight (almost spring-like), run your fingers through your curls once or twice. Do not continue to comb through your hair as the curls will not stay. After you have achieved the look you want, continue on to seal in your style. Hold the hairspray at least 12-14 inches away from your hair. Choose a medium-hold hairspray to style curls to stay all day. Enjoy your bouncy curls!

Article in English: Running, just like any other physical activity, improves with practice. The better shape you are in aerobically, the easier it will be for you to breathe efficiently. Remember that just as we work to strengthen our muscles and hearts, we must also work to strengthen our lungs.  Practice taking deep breaths from your diaphragm while sitting still or lying on your back. Put your hand on your abdomen to make sure it moves up and down with each breath. Count to 8 for each inhale and exhale. Repeat for 3-5 minutes. Swimming regularly can also improve lung function over time, because the exercise places an emphasis on breathing. It will also help you learn how to pace your breathing, because you must learn to coordinate your breath with the strokes you take. Smoking causes damage to your lungs, making it much more difficult for you to take deep breaths while running.

Article in English: SA-MP, the program that allows you to play San Andreas as a multiplayer game, is a mod (short for "modification"). This means that, for the mod to work, you must already have San Andreas installed on your computer. As a standalone program, the mod has no gameplay capability. Ensure that you have a functional copy of the game installed before proceeding.  To be perfectly clear, it's impossible to play San Andreas multiplayer without already having the game installed on your computer.  Note that, in addition to the system requirements for the base copy of San Andreas, the SA-MP additionally requires 5.6 MB of hard drive space and an internet connection (broadband is recommended for smooth play). When you're ready to begin, visit the official SA-MP site, sa-mp.com, to find the San Andreas Multiplayer mod. From the site's main home page, click "Downloads" in the tab on the left side of the screen. On the next screen, click any of the download links for the main SA-MP client (the option at the top of the page) to begin to download your file. Downloading the SA-MP client is free, and, because of the install file's relatively small size at roughly 11 MB, will not take long on most systems. When your download has completed, run the installation file by finding it in your download directory and double-clicking on it or selecting "Run" or the equivalent option from your browser's download menu. An installation wizard should pop up with simple instructions guiding you through the rest of the process. Follow the prompts to complete the installation of SA-MP. During the installation process, you'll be asked to specify the directory in which your copy of San Andreas is installed. The relevant "Destination Folder" text box comes pre-filled with the game's default installation directory, so if you installed San Andreas in the default directory, you won't have to do anything besides click "Install". However, if you installed San Andreas in a different directory, you'll need to locate this directory by clicking the "Browse..."...

Article in English: SIM cards come in three major sizes, and your phones may use different ones. This is especially true if they were made several years apart. Many carriers will provide you with the correct size for free.  You can cut larger SIMs down with a special SIM cutter tool, or ask for a compatible one from your carrier. Smaller SIMs can fit into larger slots by being placed in an adapter card. Whenever you switch carriers, you'll need a new SIM card. You'll get a SIM card when you sign up for a new plan. If you switch carriers and then need a different sized SIM card, you can usually get one for free if you contact customer service. Some carriers operate CDMA networks instead of GSM networks, which don't require SIM cards to operate. Most 4G networks, however, are GSM networks, and will require a SIM card. For example, Verizon Wireless is a CDMA network but their 4G LTE service is a GSM network, so a SIM card is required to access 4G.

Article in English: Sage has a peppery and earthy flavor. Poultry seasoning has a similar flavor profile, partly because it contains sage alongside other herbs. Use the same amount of poultry seasoning as your recipe calls for sage. Some poultry seasonings contain salt so you may need to adjust the recipe to keep it from being too salty. This way you can get some cumin in your recipe, since cumin is contained in chili seasoning, but you should be mindful of the other spices in chili seasoning. These other spices include cayenne, paprika, garlic and onion powder. You can also substitute cumin with garam masala. This spice mix contains cumin as well as coriander, cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. It sometimes also includes additional spices such as fennel. Start with half as much as you planned to use of cumin, and then build it up until you get a good taste in your recipe. If you run out of Ras el hanout spice mix, you can always make your own. Mix equal parts paprika, coriander, ginger and a pinch of saffron. Alternately, you could just use ground coriander as a substitute for Ras el hanout. It will not have the same complexity but should work fine. If you run out of bahārāt spice mix, you could make your own with equal parts paprika, cumin and cinnamon. You could also just replace bahārāt spice mix with cumin. If you run out of garam masala for your dish, you can always just use some black pepper or mild curry powder to add some heat. You could also replace garam masala by making a version using as many of the ingredients usually found in it as you can find in your home. Toast two tablespoons of coriander; one tablespoon each of cumin, cardamom, and whole black peppercorns; one teaspoon each of fennel and mustard seed; half a teaspoon of whole cloves; and two dried red chile peppers over medium heat for two minutes. Then, grind the toasted spices in a coffee grinder and spoon in two tablespoons of ground turmeric. Store the spice mix in a jar. If you need a substitute for herbs de Provence, try making your...

Article in English: Salt combines beautifully with a variety of different flavors, and lemon is one of the best. The salt and citrus combine to create a seasoning you can use for every meal of the day. This bright, refreshing salt is perfect sprinkled on fresh vegetables, salads, and fish:  Mix 1/2 cup sea salt, 1/2 cup lemon juice and the zest of 1 lemon in a bowl. Spread the mixture on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake it in the oven turned on its lowest setting until the moisture has evaporated - several hours or overnight. Scrape the lemon salt into a container. When salty and sweet flavors are combined, the taste is pretty irresistible. In this case sea salt is combined with a bourbon and sugar syrup to create a rich, deep-tasting salt that you can sprinkle on baked goods for a wonderful treat.  Simmer 1 cup of bourbon in a saucepan over medium heat until it's reduced to about 1/4 cup. Combine the bourbon reduction, 1/2 cup sea salt and 1/2 cup sugar in a food processor, pulsing until it becomes sandy in texture. Spread the mixture on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake it in the oven turned on its lowest setting until the moisture has evaporated - several hours or overnight. Next time you fire up your smoker to  smoke a piece of meat, put a tray of sea salt in there, too. Line a tray or a piece of sturdy aluminum foil with 1/2 cup or more of sea salt. Allow it to smoke in the smoker for several hours, then pour it into a container. Enjoy the rich, fragrant taste of smoky sea salt on baked potatoes, pizza and other savory dishes.

Article in English: Salt is considered good luck by many cultures in the world. In order to get rid of many forms of bad luck you can take a pinch of salt and throw it over your LEFT shoulder (throwing salt over your right shoulder will bring you more bad luck).  Alternatively, you can cleanse your body of bad luck by bathing in salt water. Simply add two tablespoons of salt to a bath of hot water. Another method is to sprinkle sea salt in the corner of each room and underneath each windowsill. This will protect your home from bad luck. If you break a mirror you should never just throw the pieces away. This will effectively seal your fate and give you 7 long years of bad luck.  You can either take all of the pieces of the mirror and grind them down to dust and scatter it in the wind or take a single piece of the mirror (big enough to reflect but not big or sharp enough to be dangerous to yourself or anything else) and wait until the next full moon. Depending on how close you are to the full moon you'll still get bad luck for a small while but if you use the mirror to reflect the full moon and gaze into it, it nullifies the bad luck. You can then bury the piece of mirror or keep it. Burning incense is an effective way to get rid of bad luck and negative energy.  Choose pungent scents like sandalwood or jasmine, and if you are burning more than one stick, make sure to use an odd number rather than an even number. If you are experiencing bad luck in your personal life, burn the incense at home. Carry the incense from one room to the next, letting the scented smoke fill all four corners of your home. If you are experiencing bad luck at work, burn the incense in your office. Small, protective charms are a great way of warding off bad luck as you go about your daily life. They can be worn on a chain or bracelet or carried around in a pocket. Some of the most common ones include.   Keys: Key charms have been used to bring good luck since ancient times. Wearing three keys together is said to unlock the three doors of wealth, health and...

Article in English: Saw palmetto naturally blocks DHT production by inhibiting the function of 5-alpha-reductase type II, the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT. Taking a 320-milligram supplement each day can also improve your hair growth. While saw palmetto won't work as quickly as prescription medication, it costs less and may be more convenient to take. Pumpkin seed oil is another natural DHT blocker, although it may not be as efficient as saw palmetto. Unlike saw palmetto, the effects of pumpkin seed oil have been studied primarily in rats, rather than in human test subjects.  Pumpkin seed oil is licensed as a treatment of prostate disorders in Germany and the United States.  You can also eat a handful of pumpkin seeds each day if you want to consume more pumpkin seed oil, although you won't get as much of the oil as you do if you take a supplement in pill form. Roasting pumpkin seeds can reduce some of the beneficial properties. Finasteride, which is also sold under the brand-name Propecia, is a medication approved by the FDA to treat hair loss, specifically male pattern baldness. You can get injections or take it in pill form.  Finasteride acts on enzymes that concentrate in your hair follicles, inhibiting the production of DHT. Finasteride can stop baldness from progressing, and in some cases cause new hair growth. One potential consequence of high DHT is hair loss on the top of your head. Treatments like minoxidil or Finasteride can help reduce hair loss and even encourage hair growth in some cases. Talk to your doctor in advance of starting a new medication, though, to make sure it won't interact with any drugs you currently take or cause other unwanted side effects. Some potential side effects of these treatments may include a reduction in libido, reduced ability to maintain an erection, and a decrease in ejaculate.

Article in English: Say to yourself, “This is fake,” and “I am safe,” over and over again until you believe it. This may take some repetition and self-trust, but it is helpful to reassure yourself that the movie is a work of fiction. You can remember parts of the movie that are especially cheesy or unrealistic to help convince yourself. Lock your doors if that puts your mind at ease.  Even scary movies advertised as “based on a true story” are exaggerated and intensified to make it more convincing. For example, maybe the villain has bad makeup so you know his real identity the whole time. Or, maybe the characters in the movie are unrealistic in real life, like a swamp monster or a zombie. These details can help convince you that the movie is fictitious. After you watch a horror movie, you are in a state of “fight or flight.” Exercise can help reduce stress. Do things like dance around, jog in place, do jumping jacks, or have a pillow fight.  After you let off some steam, you likely will feel less tense and scared. Avoid over-exercising before bed. It may be even more difficult to sleep if you are stimulated. An easy way to stop being scared is to distract yourself. Immediately turn on a different movie or TV show, and make sure its a lighthearted subject with a positive tone. This way, you'll focus on the good and not feel worried and anxious.  Select a comedy or inspiring documentary, for example. You can also read a book, flip through a magazine, or draw. Additionally, focus on positive upcoming events to keep yourself distracted. Maybe you have an exciting date night or concert to look forward to. If you watched a movie with others, continue spending time with them. If you watched the movie by yourself and are scared afterward, reach out to a friend or family member. Invite them over to hang out, for example. If you are alone, you are more likely to feel scared and worried. Having other people around will reassure you. You can cook a meal, chat about your day, or play a game, for example.

Article in English: Saying "I'm not" will show people you lack confidence or are seeking attention. This person obviously thinks you're beautiful, so accept the compliment. Don't protest or he might not say it again. "You are sweet, but..." Saying "you are sweet" is good, but then going on to protest or even carrying on as though the compliment never was said is bad. It makes him feel unappreciated, and he might not compliment you again. Saying "I know!" is another poor answer. You don't thank him at all, and it makes it seem like you're full of yourself. Confidence is good, but  nobody likes smugness. Saying "how am I?" is just fishing for compliments. He's given you one, so try not to sound greedy or big-headed. He'll feel pressure to answer you or feel he needs to give you more compliments, and if he fails to answer, you'll be hurt. Just because he paid you a compliment doesn't mean you have to one-up him. If you must compliment him back, you can say something like, “you're not so bad yourself.” Just avoid overdoing it, and don't try to divert the attention from yourself.

Article in English: Saying, "I want to lose 50 pounds in the next couple of weeks" is just plain unrealistic. The weight did not go on that quickly, so it will not come off that quickly. If you set goals that you cannot possibly obtain, of course you will be discouraged.   Consult a medical professional to determine what a sensible weekly or monthly goal should be. What is right for one person will be unhealthy for another, depending on your starting weight, age, activity level, gender, and so on. Consider getting a trainer (more on this later). When becoming more physically fit, it helps to know what you are capable of, and you simply may not know what is realistic and what is not. A good trainer can help you develop a goal and a plan to help you reach your potential. In general, the slower the weight comes off, the more likely it will stay off. A drastic weight loss will usually be interpreted by your body as a famine situation, creating a nasty cycle in which metabolism drops, you suffer physical discomfort, and generally you cannot keep it up. One pound is 3,500 calories. To lose a pound a week, you can cut 500 calories a day from your diet, burn an extra 500 calories a day through exercise, or some combination of the two. Finding a partner lets you tap into the power of teamwork. Having someone to cheer you on, be accountable to, and work out with will keep you more likely to stay on track.   Ideally, have an individual with similar health goals. If you are a 45 year old woman trying to lose 40 pounds, you may be mismatched with your 21 year old co-worker who is trying to lose 10 pounds. You can find online weight loss partners, too. There are many online weight loss sites that help you pair up with a partner. This is especially helpful if you do not have a good person to choose in your social circle, or perhaps want to keep your weight loss private. Make sure you like your partner. If you do not like your partner, or he or she turns it into an unpleasant experience, you will be less motivated to continue. Depending on your...

Article in English: Scabbing is a healthy recovery mechanism for skin, so leave it alone! Picking makes the situation worse. Instead of a scab, you’ll end up with a nasty red sore or an infection. These are more difficult to subdue with makeup, so don’t let the situation get that far. To prevent picking, pick up a tube of anti-itch cream from a drug store or similar location. Gently rub a little bit of the cream on top of the damaged area. It’ll prevent that maddening desire to itch, so you won’t feel tempted to disturb the scab and makeup covering it. Wrap an ice cube in a damp face cloth or ice pack and hold it to the area until the swelling abates. Hold the ice in place for ten minutes. To fully reduce the swelling, do this three times an hour. Make sure you disinfect the cloth or ice pack so they don’t infect open wounds. For swelling that refuses to go away, use an antibiotic such as Neosporin. First wash your face, then apply a small amount of the antibiotic to your sore spot. It’ll take at least a day, but it’ll kill the bacteria and make covering up the scab a lot easier. Now that the swelling is gone, reduce the redness so you can cover the spot with your ordinary foundation. Check the packaging on the eyedrops to make sure they’re designed to treat eye redness. They’ll work on inflamed skin too, so add a drop to a cotton swab and hold it over the area. After a minute, it should look much better and can be covered easily with makeup.

Article in English: Scalding liquids are the most prevalent cause of burns in children; this can occur from a bath that is too hot, spills or hot liquid or the child placing his or her hand under the tap in water that is too hot. Other causes of burns include:  Chemical burns (these can be caused by paint thinner, gasoline, and strong acids) Fire burns Steam burns Burns from hot objects (such as hot metal or hot glass) Electrical burns Ultraviolet burns (from sunlight or from excess time in tanning beds) Abuse (in children especially, this must always be considered as a potential cause of a burn if there is any doubt whatsoever surrounding the circumstances of the burn) There are three "severities" of burns — first degree, second degree, and third degree. Examine the area of the burn to get an idea of the severity and to assess whether or not you need to bring your child to the hospital.  First degree burns affect the outermost layer of skin only, causing pain, redness, and/or swelling. Generally, first degree burns are not too concerning and do not need to be seen by a doctor. Second degree burns affect the outermost layer of skin as well as some of the inner layers. For this reason, they may cause blistering in addition to pain, redness, and swelling. Second degree burns greater than two to three inches wide require evaluation from a doctor right away. Third degree burns travel through the full thickness of the skin. They may cause whitened or blackened skin, and may leave the skin feeling numb. Third degree burns always require evaluation by a medical professional. It is also important to note the location of the burn. Burns on the hands, feet, face, buttocks, or over a joint and/or genitals are more serious and, if in doubt, warrant being evaluated by a medical professional. In the case of a more serious burn, prompt medical attention is key to proper healing. It is important to go to the hospital if any of the following are present:  You think it qualifies as a third degree burn. The surface area of the burn is equal to or...

Article in English: Scammers typically try to find people who seem vulnerable (e.g., widowers or single, older people). Once a scammer makes a connection with a victim, they will request money for an emergency (e.g., a hospital bill) or a circumstantial event (e.g., a plane ticket to come see you). While middle-aged widowers have traditionally been targets for online fraud, no online dating user is exempt from being targeted by scams on an international scale. While no two scammers are identical, nearly all dating scammers will exhibit several of the following behaviors:  Insistence on taking the conversation off of the dating service (e.g., asking to text or email) Repeatedly asking for odd personal information (e.g., your location) Disconcertingly dramatic, erratic, or otherwise strange behavior (in all likelihood, you'll want to avoid dating people like this anyway) Early or inappropriate professions of love Common scammer profiles are modeled differently depending on whether they are male or female, but you'll usually see several of the following attributes if the person is a scammer:  High income Average height Attractive No political persuasion Engineer (male) or student (female) Mid-40s (male) or low 30s (female) Online dating scammers usually target people older than themselves. Save a copy of their profile photo, then upload it to Google to search for other instances of it. If you see several other sites with the photo pop up in the results, then you know that—at the very least—they're not using their own photo. If you do determine that they're not using their own photo, consider calling them out. This may reveal more suspicious behavior. When communicating, scammers' messages will be full of inconsistencies, often getting their own name or your name wrong. These messages may be badly written or repeat themselves. Watch for these other signs:  Their command of language deteriorates with time. They may even start out having no clue about grammar or punctuation. They make mistakes in that their "story" begins to...

Article in English: School and extracurricular activities have become an increasingly competitive arena. Children often have high expectations of themselves. As a mother, reminding your kids it's okay to be imperfect and make mistakes is important.  Understand kids need to be kids. While it's fine to encourage your child to explore his interests in things like sports and arts, remind him it's okay to take a break and relax as well. Tell him his work at school and extracurriculars should be driven by a love of learning and a particular hobby instead of perfection, achievement, and grades.  Allow your child to make mistakes. If your daughter misses a shot at her hockey game, remind her even great athletes play less than perfect games. If your son doesn't end up first chair saxophone, remind him he should play because he loves music and not to be the best. You can model a positive attitude for your child by focusing on the good things in life. Teach your child to adopt a "glass half full" mentality to increase his sense of happiness and security. Focus on your kid's positive attributes and try to look on the bright side of any situation. This will help both you and your kids relax. Parenthood can be a surprisingly competitive endeavor. Many parents boast about their children and are constantly holding them to the standards of others their age. Remember, your child is a unique person in his own right. Do not compare him to other kids.  Children move and develop at their own pace and have their own strengths and weaknesses. Your son might still be struggling with basic subtraction but be reading at a high grade level. Your daughter might not remember dates in history class but excel at biology. Remember the old saying, "Everyone is a genius in their own way. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it'll spend its whole life believing that it's stupid."  Discourage your kids from comparing themselves to others. As they move on in school or get more involved in extracurriculars, they might be tempted to compare...

Article in English: Scrape off the top layer of bark near the bottom of your cutting with your pruners. Make sure not to cut too deep or you may damage the branch. Doing this will help the roots grow at the base of the new plant. If you are planting herb cuttings, you can skip this step. Purchase a gel or powder root hormone from a gardening store or online. Dabbing the bottom of the cutting into the hormone may speed up growth. The porosity of sand and perlite makes it a great medium to grow cuttings. You can also use a potting soil mixed with perlite or vermiculite. Push a pencil into the soil to create a hole for your cutting, then place the bottom half of the cutting into the soil.  Purchase a potting medium at a gardening or hardware store. Use a pot that has drainage holes in the bottom of it. Thoroughly saturate the soil so that it’s completely wet. Your new cutting will require a lot of water initially before roots begin to form. The soil should not pool on the top of your pot. If it does, it means you aren’t using the right potting soil or your pot doesn’t have drainage holes. Tape or tie a plastic bag over the top of the pot, making sure that the bag doesn't touch the plant. This will increase the humidity around the cutting and will encourage growth. Keep the cutting in a bright area, but away from direct sunlight. In 2-3 weeks, roots should have formed on the bottom of the cutting. Carefully feel under the cutting with your fingers to see if roots have started growing. If they have not developed, you'll have to make another cutting and restart the process. Once roots have grown out of the bottom of the cutting, it's ready to be moved to its permanent growing location. Use a small gardening shovel and dig around the cutting, making sure not to sever any of the new roots. Extract the plant from the pot and put it into new soil. Search online to see how to care for and maintain your particular plant.

Article in English: Scratch-off lotto tickets are sold with varying odds, styles, and designs, but the easiest way to compare them is by price. Typically, scratch-off tickets cost between $1 and $20 a piece, depending on the game and the area in which you live. The cheaper tickets have a low percentage of overall winners, lower payouts, and a smaller spread between the top prize and interval prizes. More expensive tickets $5 and up, yield a higher overall percentage of winners, with a more even spread of higher-payouts, and usually a higher jackpot. In other words, a dollar ticket may win more often, but the top prize may be a few hundred dollars, and the average prize will be much lower, while any given $20 ticket will win less often, but there is a very low probability that you could win several thousand dollars. The odds listed for any particular game are the odds that any given ticket will be a winner. Just because some games present higher odds of winning than others doesn't mean you're more likely to win the jackpot, but it does make it a more valuable ticket for the price, given a large spread of lesser prizes. Buy tickets at your price point with the highest odds of any winner. For a serious lottery player who wants to buy in bulk, the lower-price cards with higher odds is usually a better choice, while the occasional lottery player might do better to buy a more expensive ticket every now and then. Compare the odds of a few games before making an educated guess as to which card to buy. Typically, the odds are listed as a comparison of numbers: 1: 5, or 1: 20. This means that 1 out of every 5 or 20 tickets will be a winner. It doesn't mean that every fifth ticket in a row wins, and it doesn't mean that in a random sampling of 20 tickets, one will definitely be a winner. It means that in the total number of tickets allotted, in all the stores across the state, that percentage of tickets are winners. There are rarely two winning tickets in a row, but there are at least a few winners in every roll of tickets. Therefore, if...
