Article in English: Ducks require a safe structure to live in. An enclosure or pen will keep them from wandering (or flying) away from your house and allow them a measure of safety. You can erect a suitable enclosure using chicken wire or another fencing material. If the ducks will be spending their days in this pen, it should provide 1.5 square meters (16 square feet) of space per duck.  Most commercially grown ducks are too heavy to fly far, and will stay near sources of food and water. To be on the safe side, however, be sure to put a layer of fencing material over the top of the duck pen, so that they don't fly away. Placing a layer of fencing material over the top of the pen will also keep birds of prey like hawks and eagles from entering the pen and taking away a duck. If you don't already have an erected enclosure, you should be able to find all of the necessary components (at minimum: chicken wire and fence posts) at your local hardware or home-supply store. In areas where predators like raccoons, skunks, and coyotes are common, the pen must be sturdy enough to keep them out. Raccoons can tear through flimsy material, so you need to use a strong, heavy gauge wire. These animals can also dig, so the wire should be buried at least 6 inches (15.24 centimeters) underground around the entire perimeter of the pen. This shed should be located inside of the pen or enclosure, and should be stable enough to provide ducks with protection from wind and inclement elements. Make sure that the shed has firm, stable walls which are opaque and can provide the ducks with shade on sunny days.  If the ducks will be sleeping in the shed, it should provide 0.5 square meters (5 square feet) of space per duck. Since ducks defecate frequently, the housing shed needs to be well ventilated. Good care is required in this area if you would like your ducks to remain healthy. Be sure to give them new hay or straw at least once a week. This material will serve as your ducks' bedding and also as a surface for them to walk on. You should be able to...

Article in English: Duct tape comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns and can be ordered online or purchased from most craft or hardware stores. This method works especially well on messenger-style schoolbags since they provide a flat surface for easy application. Purchase different colored rolls of duct tape. Use scissors to cut strips that vary in length and/or thickness and simply stick to your bag. You can create a collage or geometric design.  Decorate a small section or cover your entire schoolbag. Alternate horizontal and vertical strips to create a checkerboard pattern, or alternate diagonal strips to make a chevron design. Cut-out shapes (triangles, circles, squares, etc.) by placing tape stick-side down on a self healing mat. Use a ruler and precision cutting tool, such as an exacto knife, to cut shapes. Gently lift off of mat using the tip of the blade and use your fingers to press evenly and firmly onto your schoolbag. You can use metallic (e.g. gold, silver, or copper) or colored glitter to add sparkly embellishments or designs to a plain schoolbag. You will need glitter (any color), a paintbrush, painter's tape, fabric glue, and newspaper. Use the painter's tape to tape-off the section of bag you want to add glitter to. This will help create clean, straight edges. Spread a thin, even layer of fabric glue over the taped-off area using the paintbrush. Pour glitter on glue and press gently so it adheres to the fabric. Shake-off excess glitter onto a newspaper for reuse. Add more glitter until you had a solid layer.  Let dry for several hours before removing tape. Glitter can get messy, so it might be better to do this outside or over a drop cloth or newspapers. This will make it easier to clean-up when you are done. If you need to wash your schoolbag, hand wash it separately in a sink and let air dry. Placing it in a washing machine may cause the glitter to fall off and stick to other clothes. You can make your own stencils or buy them from a craft store. Simply position the stencil in the desired location and...

Article in English: Due to the lack of diphthongs in French, your tongue moves a lot less than it would if you were speaking English. Too much tongue movement will make your speech sound more heavily accented.  Try putting the tip of your tongue against the back of your lower front teeth as you speak. Open your mouth less, and let your lips and jaw do the work of pronouncing the words. Speaking in front of a mirror can help you get your mouth and tongue movements right. You might also try watching native French speakers and attempt to mimic their facial expressions and mouth movements. The letters eu, u, and r make sounds in French that are unlike anything you would say in English. Not being able to pronounce these letters correctly can ruin otherwise good pronunciation.  To get the u sound correct, make an eee sound, then round your lips as you would if you were making an ooo sound. Practice this until you can make the u sound without starting with the eee sound. The French r is pronounced from the back of your throat, similar to the ch in the Scottish word "loch." You can find French television shows streaming online that you can watch for free. Your favorite video-streaming service may also have French-language movies and television shows available. These shows can give you a better idea of how French people actually talk to each other. News programs, game shows, and reality shows give you the opportunity to see non-actors speaking. This can help you learn casual, informal conversation. Liaisons are part of the reason that French sounds as smooth and melodic as it does. Rather than harsh endings between words, most French words are blended together using liaisons. This means some letters that normally are silent are pronounced to smooth the transition.  For example, take the sentence vous êtes dans un grand avion. If you simply pronounced all the words individually, you'd end up with a sentence that sounded something like "voo ett dahn un grahn ahveeohn." While each word is pronounced correctly, that certainly doesn't sound...

Article in English: During a panic attack, your body goes into a natural fight-or-flight response, just as if you were in a truly terrifying and dangerous situation, only no dangerous situation is actually occurring. Symptoms that are commonly experienced during a panic attack include:  Chest pain or discomfort Dizziness or faintness Fear of dying Fear of losing control or impending doom Feeling of choking Feeling of detachment Feeling of unreality Nausea or upset stomach Numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, or face Palpitations, fast heart rate, or pounding heart Sweating, chills, or hot flashes Trembling or shaking Most panic attacks cause rapid and shallow breathing which fuels the attack, causing the symptoms to linger. By controlling your breathing, you can help to return your heart rate to normal, lower your blood pressure, slow the sweating, and re-establish a feeling of being in control.  One method to slow your breathing is to take a deep breath and hold it for as long as you can. This balances levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide and reduces the feeling that you cannot breathe. After holding your breath, then begin deep, diaphragmatic breathing. Breathe in slowly and deeply, then exhale even more slowly. To practice diaphragmatic breathing, try sitting in a chair with 1 hand on your chest and the other a little below your rib cage. Sit comfortably with bent knees, and relaxed shoulders and neck.  Next breathe in slowly through your nose and let your stomach expand, keeping your upper chest as still as possible. Slowly exhale, tightening your stomach muscles, and keep your upper chest still. The hand on your stomach area should move out as you inhale, then back in as you exhale, with the hand on your upper chest remaining as still as possible.  Another method is the 5-2-5 method. Inhale with your diaphragm for 5 seconds. Hold your breath for 2 seconds. Then exhale for 5 more seconds. Repeat 5 times.  Breathing into a paper bag is not routinely recommended anymore. It may not be as beneficial as was believed in the...

Article in English: During the first few weeks after delivery, you may experience the feelings of sadness, irritability, and anxiety characteristic of the “baby blues.” You may find yourself crying more than usual and having trouble sleeping. If you have these symptoms, know that they are normal, and they are frequently exacerbated by the exhaustion and stress that new mothers experience. They do not constitute postpartum depression, as long as they improve after 2-3 weeks. Normal “baby blues” typically begin to improve within a couple of weeks. If yours feelings are not improving by then, you may have postpartum depression. As a new mother, you will probably be very tired—your body is still recovering from pregnancy and childbirth, and your baby probably isn't sleeping well yet. If your fatigue is overwhelming, though, and does not seem to be alleviated by rest, that could be a sign of PPD. Hormonal changes, new responsibilities, and severe fatigue can all contribute to mood swings. If yours are severe, especially if they involve intense feelings of anger or sadness, you may need treatment for postpartum depression. If you don’t seem able to connect with your newborn after a few weeks, you may have postpartum depression, especially if this problem is combined with other symptoms. Women with postpartum depression often lose their appetites (or, in some cases, notice that they are eating more than usual). A change in your appetite does not always indicate PPD—hormonal changes may be to blame, and breastfeeding can also make you hungrier—but in combination with other symptoms, it could be a warning sign. If you find yourself losing interest in people or activities you usually like, you may have PPD. Postpartum depression often causes women to withdraw from friends and family and to lose interest in activities they used to enjoy.

Article in English: During the first trimester, the fetus’ internal organs, such as the heart, are starting to develop.  Note that the fetus in this stage does not yet resemble a human being but more of a seed with facial features and a discernible tail ,which will later form the lower extremities.  Upon ultrasound, at 8 weeks of gestation, a gestational sac can be observed.  At the end of 12 weeks gestation, the sex of the baby should already noticeable. During this time, the baby will most likely grow from 1 centimeter (0.4 in) to 8 centimeters (3.1 in) in length. The weight should be between 400 mcg and 45 grams. During this time the fetal heartbeat should become audible with the use of a Doppler  (an instrument that can detect fetal heart sounds) but towards the end of the second trimester it can be heard using a stethoscope.  The sex can also be determined through ultrasound.  Other internal organs such as the liver and pancreas are fully functioning.  Other notable features of the fetus during this trimester are the presence of lanugo (downy hair at the back and extremities which help regulate heat upon birth), brown fat (for heat insulation) and vernix caseosa (a substance that regulates heat). The fetus has already established waking and sleeping patterns.  During the second trimester, the fetus should now be about 10 centimeters (3.9 in).  Towards the end of 24 weeks it should be approximately 36 centimeters (14.2 in).  The weight should be between 55 grams to 550 grams. In case a woman gives birth at only 24 weeks of gestation, the baby should be able to survive with constant monitoring and care under a neonatal intensive care unit. Because of the presence of lung surfactant, the lung alveoli can fully function.  Note that during the third trimester, the eyes of your baby should now be fully open.  The fetus should now look more like a baby. Fat deposits are present on the arms and legs.  It is best to start reading aloud and listening to classical music during this time because the fetus is now aware of sounds. ...

Article in English: During the last stages of your pregnancy, a variety of exercises can be used to prevent back labor from occurring.  Try doing pelvic tilts. This is where you get on your hand and knees, curl up your back, and then straighten it out. It helps loosen ligaments and relieves back pain some experience during pregnancy. It can also help position the fetus to prevent back labor.  Invest in a birth ball and spend a little time each day sitting on the ball and doing light exercises with it. You can sit on the ball and rock your pelvis from side to side , rotate your hips from side to side, or lean over the ball in a kneeling position and rock your hips. Wait until you are at 35–36 weeks to try this. How you sit in the months leading up to labor can have an effect on the position of your baby. Try to sit in a position that prevents your knees from being lower than your hips and avoid sitting too deeply on couches and recliners. When labor begins, try move around as much as possible. This can keep the baby from getting into a position that would lead to back labor.  Try to avoid lying on your back too much during the course of your pregnancy. This can reduce your risk of back labor when you go into labor. During labor itself, try to sit up as much as possible. If you need to lie down, try to lie on your side.  Walk around the hospital during the early stages of labor and do some pelvic tilts.  Try sitting backward on a chair or toilet when you need to sit.

Article in English: During these seasons, most specimens are dormant, which is ideal. When plants are removed from the soil while growing they enter a state of shock that decreases their chances of survival in a new home. On the other hand, dormant plants have more time to lay down new root systems, store nutrients, and prepare for growth season.  Different plants fare better during different time frames. For example, evergreen and pine trees do best in early fall, oak trees in early spring, maple trees in late fall, and fruit trees in early spring, right before growth season. If you succeed in removing the roots still covered with earth, the tree should survive even in the summer. Saplings with a base thickness within this range tend to be small enough that you won't have trouble digging up their root systems. You also need to make sure that it is a variety that can handle the stress of transplanting—sometimes this will just have to be a case of trial and error.  Good varieties to transplant include oak, birch, magnolia, dogwood, eucalyptus and tea tree. Limit yourself to trees with trunk diameters that are 2 inches (5.1 cm) or less for the best results. Anything bigger can be difficult, and is best transplanted by landscape contractors. Different trees thrive in specific plant hardiness zones. For example, Leyland Cypress thrives in zones 6 to 10, which corresponds to an extreme average minimum temperature range of −5 to 35 °F (−21 to 2 °C) on the zone map.  Hardiness zones are the regions in a country that are grouped together based off of similar climate conditions. Take a look at the worldwide USDA plant hardiness zones here: http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/ Always try to mirror the conditions of the native region as much as possible. Full sunlight is 6-8 hours of sunlight, either continuous or not. Partial sunlight is defined as 4 to 6 hours. While some plants can thrive in partial sunlight, others don't respond well to shade and require full sunlight.  Signs that your plant is getting too much sun include...

Article in English: During your annual gynecological exam, your doctor will check your breasts for lumps or abnormalities. If she detects something irregular, she might recommend that you have a mammogram.  If you do not have health insurance or funds to visit a doctor, there are likely resources in your area to help you get preventative care. Planned Parenthood offers consultation services and can direct you to a mammography provider.  If you do not know where to look for help, contact your local Department of Health or call the national cancer line at 1-800-4-CANCER. They can refer you to appropriate help for your situation. You could be eligible for cost-free or inexpensive mammograms. See the official US government listing of low-income clinics: http://www.findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov/Search_HCC.aspx. Once she turns 40, a woman should get a mammogram every two years until she is 74.The earlier you detect breast cancer, the easier it will be to survive. You may have heard that a mammogram is painful, but the pain is momentary and no worse than getting a shot. Plus, it can save your life. If you are at high risk, talk to your doctor about how often you should get a mammogram. If you have a high risk and are under 40 years of age, it is possible your doctor will recommend a mammogram already. Paying attention and knowing your breasts well is the best thing you can do to detect symptoms of breast cancer. If you have any concerns about what you find in your BSEs, see a doctor immediately. Keep your friends and family healthy by arranging a party every year that culminates in everyone getting a mammogram together. This way you can remove the fear from the experience and help each other remember. Consider saying: “I know a lot of women don't get the mammograms because they're scary and they can hurt a bit, but I'd love to find a way that we can make it fun. Plus, we'll get some great girl time!”

Article in English: During your midnight shift, turn on as many lights as possible. Light sends signals to the brain telling it to be more alert. If the available light at your workplace isn't enough to keep you awake, purchase a small, portable light box that simulates natural light. Light boxes can be purchased in department stores or online. Bring a large bottle of water with you to work to drink throughout the night. Getting dehydrated during your shift will leave you feeling drained and lethargic. Eating small, healthy snacks through out the night (e.g., baby carrots or crackers and cheese) will keep your blood sugar from dipping and help you maintain energy. To avoid dozing off during your shift, stand up and start an activity that will keep you moving. This may include work-related tasks such as sorting supplies or inventory, organizing papers or files, or cleaning your work area. If you get a break during your shift, take the opportunity to stretch your legs by going for a short walk, taking the stairs up and down several floors, or doing simple yoga stretches.

Article in English: Dye is translucent. It adds color to whatever color is already there. For example, if you tried to dye a pair of blue shoes red or pink, you'll end up with purple. You also cannot dye shoes a lighter color. You can, however, dye any color of shoe black. This will protect the rubber from picking up the dye. If you want to dye the laces as well, you will still want to take them out; you will dip them into the dye bath along with the shoes. This will help them dye more evenly. Make sure that the bucket is deep enough to fit your shoe. The salt and laundry detergent will help make the dye brighter. Each company may be a little different, so follow the directions on your bottle or packet. In general, liquid dyes do not need any preparation. If you are using powdered dye, you will need to dissolve it in 2 cups (475 milliliters) of hot water first. If your shoes float to the top, you will need to weigh them down with something heavy. You can use glass jars or bottles, or even sticks. If you don't do this, they will float to the top and your dye job will be uneven.  Some people find that soaking the shoes in warm water first helps the dye soak in better and more evenly.  Dye can get messy. Consider wearing some plastic gloves to protect your hands from getting stained. This will give the dye enough time to soak into the fabric. Use warm water first to set the dye, and then cold water to get rid of the excess dye. Be sure to get the inside of the shoes as well. This is to get rid of any last traces of dye. Remember to rinse the inside of the shoes as well. If you can, set them out in a sunny spot. This will help them dry faster. If you don't have any newspaper, you can use an old towel or even a paper bag instead. If any dye leaked onto the shoes, you can remove it using rubbing alcohol or a bleach pen. You can also try a magic eraser or a paste made from equal parts of baking soda, water, and vinegar. If you are using a bleach pen, leave the bleach on the rubber parts for 10 minutes, then wipe it off with a damp...

Article in English: Dyslexia among children and young people is usually first recognized when they fall behind their peers in learning to read or in consistently reading below their age level. This is the primary indicator of dyslexia. Reading problems may include:  A delay in learning the connection between letters and sounds.  The confusion of small words like “at” and “to” or “does” and “goes”. Consistent reading, spelling, and writing errors, even after being shown the correct forms. Common errors include letter reversals (e.g., “d” for “b”); word reversals (e.g., "tip" for "pit"); inversions (e.g., “m” for “w” and “u” for “n”); transpositions (e.g., “felt” and “left”); substitutions (e.g., "house" and "home”).  Needing to read a short selection multiple times to comprehend it.  Trouble understanding age-appropriate concepts.  Trouble taking notes and predicting what will happen next in a story or sequence. The underlying cause of dyslexia is a problem with phonological processing, the ability to see or hear a word, break it down into discrete sounds, and then associate each sound with the letters that make up the word. Though this makes reading particularly difficult, it often also impacts children's ability to listen and speak clearly and correctly. Signs include:  Problems comprehending rapid instructions or recalling sequences of commands. Difficulty remembering what is heard. Difficulty putting thoughts into words. The child may also speak in halting sentences and leave sentences incomplete.  Garbled speech: wrong words or similar words substituted for what the child means. Difficulty making and comprehending rhymes. Because dyslexia includes problems with spatial organization, dyslexic children may also struggle with their motor skills. Common signs of problems with motor skills include:  Trouble with writing or copying. Their handwriting may also be illegible. Frequent confusion of left and right, over and under. Children with dyslexia often struggle in school, particularly as they see their peers reading and writing...

Article in English: EPS clues investors and potential investors in to a company's profitability. A higher EPS generally signals a more robust company, profit-wise. Like most numbers, however, EPS should not be looked at in isolation. There's no fixed EPS number above which a company's stock should be bought and below which its stock should be sold. It's important to look at a company's EPS in relation to other companies. Looking at a company's EPS is more valuable than looking at their profit because EPS puts a company's profit into perspective. (A huge company generating $1M net income isn't very impressive; a tiny company generating $1M net income is.) EPS is also integral in evaluating a company's Price to Earnings ratio, or P/E. EPS will tell you how one company is doing compared to another, or how one company is doing in relation to the industry as a whole, but it won't tell you at a glance whether it's a steal to invest in a company or whether that company is overvalued. In order to make an informed decision about whether to invest in a company's stock, you'll also need to consider the following, at the very least:  Market capitalization Share price Dividends/buybacks Long-term financial outlook Sufficient liquidity

Article in English: Each length of tulle should be about 2.5 yards (2.3 m) (2.3 m).  For a fuller loofah, you could create more bunches of tulle. Create an even number of bunches so that your costume will still be proportional. The lengths do not need to be cut perfectly or with precise evenness. They should all be close to the same size, but by the time you finish, it will not matter if a few are shaped a little differently than others. You could also use nylon matte netting instead of tulle. Fold one piece of tulle in half lengthwise, essentially halving the width. Repeat with the other pieces.    Fold one piece of tulle widthwise into thirds. The length of the tulle should be one-third of what it was.  Repeat with the other pieces.     Do not worry about making exact or perfect folds. Pinch one piece of folded tulle in the middle and tie it in place with a small piece of 1/4-inch (0.635 cm) elastic.  You could also hold the bundle together by twisting an elastic hair band around the center. Use your fingers to gently fluff the tulle after bundling it together. Repeat with the remaining pieces of folded tulle.

Article in English: Each midwifery program has a different "personality." Some require a degree in nursing before the midwifery study begins, and others are more focused on the philosophical, political or spiritual aspects of the profession. Find a program that's right for you and start the application process.  The majority of midwives working in the United States today are Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs). This certification is recognized in all fifty states.  It is possible to become a midwife without also being a nurse and become a Certified Midwife (CM). This certification is only recognized by a few states. Choose the professional path that is right for you. Your personality is as important as your grades when it comes to getting into midwifery programs. Read books written by midwives and do research on the politics of the profession to inform your personal statement and essay. Demonstrate your passion for becoming a midwife. Explain why you think midwives play an important role in society today. This will include a set amount of courses, a clinical internship and, depending on the program, a degree in nursing. In most countries you are required by law to take and pass an examination in order to get a license to practice midwifery. You can look at hospitals, clinics, and birthing centers. Consider setting up a private practice.  In addition to practicing as a midwife, you can use your knowledge to work as an educator at the undergraduate or graduate level. Health policy is another popular choice for CNMs and CMs. Some midwives work at nonprofits or other organizations that provide advocacy for women making their own health decisions.

Article in English: Each of these mediums has enough tooth or texture to ensure that pastels adhere. For lighter sketch-like drawings, select papers with 90 gsm thickness. If you want to create something with a bolder palette, choose papers with 160 gsm thickness. A smooth paper will not properly stick to your pastels. Always choose a paper size that will fit your subject without leaving too much or too little space.  Don't use papers that contain acids, as they will lead to color shifting and brittleness. Use paper colors similar to your pastel colors to create a unifying, harmonious vibe. For example, choose a light-green pastel paper for a nature setting with lots of green shades. To experiment with different moods and atmospheres, select paper colors that contrast with your pastel colors. For example, if you're drawing a blue lake with a black night sky, choose a purple paper for a melancholy effect. Unlike other kinds of pastels, oil pastels are not offered by a variety of manufacturers—there are only a few that offer artist-level brands. For beginners, Van Gogh Extra-Fine Artist Oil Pastels are student-grade but with a degree of quality that is competitive with artist-grade brands. For artist-grade brands, try out the cheapest set or put together the palette of your choosing from the open stock selection.  Think about the kind of pictures you want to create and select colors to suit your ideas. Choose from open stock colors and put together a nice palette. Pastels can be purchased from art stores, online suppliers, and big-box stores. Harder brands are best for finer details like outlines and early layers, while softer brands are best for drawing over heavy, saturated layers of firm pastel. Artist-grade brands in order of hardest to softest are: Cray-Pas Specialist, Cretacolor Aqua Stic, Erengi Art Aspirer, Caran d’Ache Neopastel and Holbein, and Sennelier Oil Pastels.

Article in English: Each pasta shell should be a bit bigger than the palm of your hand. Just place the shells in boiling water and cook them over medium heat until they're firm but not too hard. Read the instructions on the package to see exactly how long they should be cooked. Drain and separate the shells when they're cooked.  In a large mixing bowl, add 3 cups (710 g.) of ricotta cheese, 1.5 cups (360 g.) of Parmesan cheese, 1/2 diced shallot, 2 tbsp. of chopped parsley, 4 chopped basil leaves, 1/2 minced garlic clove, and one generous squeeze of lemon juice. Salt and pepper to taste and begin to mix the ingredients together.  If the stuffing seems too dry, add 1/4 cup (60 ml) of cream and 1 to 2 tbsp. of olive oil to moisten it. Stir until the ingredients are incorporated. Pack them tightly. Hold each pasta shell by its edges and press them gently to open them up. Scoop in a generous portion of stuffing and squeeze the shell closed. Place the shell in an oven safe dish and repeat this process until all 15 shells are stuffed tightly. Pour 1.5 cups (360 ml) of marinara sauce over all the shells. Make sure to cover the edges because they can dry out easily. Be generous with the marinara sauce. Cover the marinara and shells with 1 cup (120 g.) of fresh mozzarella. Tear the mozzarella instead of grating it to allow the cheese to melt freely over the shells. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil on top to help with moisture. Bake them until the cheese is melted and golden brown. When they're done, remove them from the oven and let them harden and cool for a few minutes. Serve these tasty shells as a main course or serve them with a side of chicken or beef.

Article in English: Each person is different; therefore, you should discuss the different methods for treating LA with your doctor. He or she can help you determine what’s best for you. If you are not symptomatic, or if you have never had a blood clot in the past, you may not need any medical treatment. This therapy involves taking blood thinning medications such as warfarin, heparin, or low-dose aspirin, which help prevent blood clots. They work by inhibiting the production of vitamin K (responsible for blood clotting) in the liver. This increases the time the blood takes to clot. During this therapy, the level of anticoagulant in your blood will be monitored to determine how much, and for how long you need to continue the therapy. Some people only need to take medication for a few months, while others may have to manage the anticoagulants for their entire life.  If LA is still present after the initial therapy, the therapy is usually continued for at least three additional months before the next testing is done. If the result of the second post-therapy testing shows that the patient's blood no longer contains lupus anticoagulants, the therapy is discontinued. Steroids work by reducing the activity of the immune system. The immune system creates the lupus anticoagulant antibodies, and steroids can be used to suppress their production. If the activity of the immune system is suppressed or reduced, then the level of lupus anticoagulant antibodies will also decrease. Examples of steroids include cortisone, prednisone and methylprednisolone. Plasmapheresis is a process in which the liquid part of the blood, also known as plasma, which contains the lupus anticoagulant antibodies, is separated from the cells. A machine removes the affected plasma and replaces it with good plasma, or a plasma substitute that does not contain the antibodies. This is also known as plasma exchange.

Article in English: Each player can redeem his armies in whatever unit s/he wants (infantry, cavalry, or artillery), provided they all add up to the same number of armies. So if a player gets seven armies at the beginning of his turn, he can redeem them by getting either seven infantry pieces or by getting one cavalry piece and two infantry pieces (which add up to seven). At the beginning of each turn, players receive more armies.  The number of armies is determined by:  The number of territories you own. For every three countries, the player gets one army. For example, if you had 11 countries, you would receive 3 armies; if you had 22 countries, you would receive 7 armies. Turning in cards. Cards can be turned in when you have a three of a kind (e.g. all three cards have artillery pictures) or all three types of armies (soldier, cavalry, artillery). For the first set of cards you turn in, you receive 4 armies; 6 for the second; 8 for the third; 10 for the fourth; 12 for the fifth; 15 for the sixth; and for every additional set thereafter, 5 more armies than the previous set turned in. If you have 5 or more Risk cards at the beginning of a turn, you must turn at least one set of them in. Owning all the territories of a continent. For each continent that you completely dominate (no other enemy armies are present), you receive reinforcements. You receive 3 armies for Africa, 7 armies for Asia, 2 armies for Australia, 5 armies for Europe, 5 armies for North America and 2 armies for South America.  Note: if the amount of armies you would receive at the beginning of your turn is less than three, round up to three. You may place the armies you received at the beginning of your turn wherever you have an army presence, in whatever proportion. If you wish, you can place one army in each of your territories; or you can place all of your armies in one territory. The choice is up to you. If, during the beginning of your turn, you turned in a set of cards with a territory that you owned, you receive two extra infantrymen. You must place...

Article in English: Each trail begins with a trailhead--a sign that generally states the name of the trail and the distance to the end (or how long the loop is.) Other trailhead, like those in national parks, will have a map of all of the other trails your trail connects to, as well as different things to look out for while hiking. If you cannot find a trailhead, you may not be at the right location. Ask someone for directions. Other trails might not have a trailhead--this fact will be specified in your trail guide. When you are out hiking, you will inevitably come across a fork in the road. Follow the trail markers that say your trail’s name. If there are no markers available (which is relatively rare) consult your map and look for cairns. Cairns are stacks of rocks that rangers make to show hikers the correct path to take. You may see small trails branching off from your trail. Do not follow these--often they are simply deer and other forest creature paths that will lead you into uncharted territory. Park rangers and trail maintenance people generally block off these sort of faux-trails by dragging fallen tree branches across the path. If you see a sign that says “Stay on the trail” you should--you guessed it--stay on the trail. It is more than likely that that sign is there because there is revegetation happening in the area. When too many people walk in areas other than the path, they can do serious damage to the vegetation. You will also most likely see a sign that says do not feed wild animals. This is really good advice, as feeding wild animals can hurt both you and the animals. Do not feed wild animals--no matter how cute they look. Hiking is not a race, but rather an activity that you can do at your own speed. Don’t be afraid to slow down if you are feeling tired. Drink water throughout your hike and sit down for a rest whenever you feel the need to do so. Be aware that when you are hiking, you are passing through the home of many different creatures--from the smallest bugs, to the biggest bears. Do not ever try to...

Article in English: Earlier in your cat’s life, you may have limited the amount of tasty morsels your cat ate so that she could maintain a healthy diet. Now that she is near the end of her life, why not indulge her a bit more? Spoil your cat with some tuna, such as tuna flakes or even tuna juice poured on top of her food.  Meat-based baby food,, such as turkey, is another type of tasty food to feed your dying cat. Since onions are toxic to cats, make sure the baby food does not contain any onion powder.  Gourmet cat food is another tasty food option for your cat.  Whichever tasty food you give her, make sure that it has a strong and appealing smell. Your cat probably won’t have a big appetite in her final days, but giving her food that is very aromatic may encourage her to eat at least a little bit. Not only may your cat be losing her appetite when she is dying, but she may also no longer have the physical ability to chew her food adequately. Therefore, you will need to make her food easier to eat. For dry food, you can soften it by soaking it in some water or mashing it.  Other than mashing dry food, you can grind it up in a blender. If you are feeding your cat baby food, you can mix it with some water to make it even softer. Warming up your cat’s food can make it easier and more appealing for her to eat.  Talk with your veterinarian if you are unsure what types of foods your cat can eat, and would want to eat, at the end of her life. Your cat, in her final stages of life, may not want to drink as much water as she used to. In addition, her body’s ‘thirst’ signal may not be working very well, so she may not even realize that she needs to hydrate herself. Keeping your dying cat well hydrated is key to keeping her comfortable.  Her water should be lukewarm instead of cold. If your cat is too weak or in too much pain to drink out of her water bowl, you will have to help her by gently supporting her head upright. She may not want to open her mouth willingly to drink the water, so you may have to give her water using a medicine...

Article in English: Early detection of breast cancer is vital. If you possess any high risk factors, be sure to perform regular BSEs. Seek a mammogram if you feel any lumps or are high risk and over age forty. Women are more likely than men to get breast cancer. Additionally, if you have had close relatives (e.g. mother, sister) with breast cancer, your chance of having breast cancer increases. There also are inherited gene mutations that predispose one to have a higher risk of breast cancer. These gene mutations are BRCA1 and BRCA2. Five to ten percent of breast cancer cases result from gene mutations.  In the United States, white women are most at risk of getting breast cancer.  Some ethnic groups are more prone to mutated BRCA genes. These include people of Norwegian, Icelandic, Dutch, and Ashkenazi Jewish descent. There are many traits of your health history that can impact your risk profile for breast cancer. Women who have had breast cancer in one breast are more likely to get it again. People who have undergone radiation to their chest area as a young child also carry a higher risk. Additionally, other medical facts, like your first period occurring at age 11 or younger, can increase risk. Starting menopause later than average is also a red flag. Taking hormonal therapy after starting menopause increases risk as does never having been pregnant. Obese people have a higher chance of getting breast cancer.  Women who consume three alcoholic beverages per week also are fifteen percent more likely to get breast cancer.Smokers and particularly women who started smoking prior to the birth of their first child also have an increased risk for breast cancer.

Article in English: Easter has always been celebrated near the date of the Jewish Passover, but the exact method of determining the date on which to celebrate Easter has changed slightly over the centuries.  Easter is a celebration of Christ's return from the dead after His crucifixion. In the Bible, Jesus rose from the dead on the first Sunday following the Jewish Passover. Passover begins on the fifteenth day of the month of Nisan in the Hebrew calendar. This roughly corresponds to the first full moon after the March equinox, but the Hebrew calendar is not based on the cycles of the moon, so the timing is not exact. Since the date of Passover needed to be announced each year by Jewish officials, early Christian leaders simplified the date of Easter by scheduling it consistently for the Sunday after the full moon. This happened in 325 CE and was an official declaration of the Council of Nicaea.  The practice of using the moon and equinox as a dating system actually has ties to pagan practices, though. Religious dates were never previously established using astronomical events in the Jewish tradition from which most of Christian tradition arose. The practice of doing so was pagan in nature, but early Christians adopted it for the sake of simplifying their own dating system. Most Western churches (Roman Catholics and most Protestants) follow the standard calendar, also known as the Gregorian calendar. Some Orthodox Christian churches still use the Julian calendar to determine the date of Easter.  The Gregorian calendar was created when scientists discovered that the Julian calendar was too long. The dates of both calendars are similar, but slightly different. The Gregorian calendar is more accurately aligned to the equinox. According to either calendar, Easter will always fall between March 22 and April 25. This time frame does not occur over the same set of days for both calendars, though. If you are observing the Gregorian calendar like most do, the Easter time frame in the Julian calendar would actually run from April 3 to May...

Article in English: Eat 500 calories above your BMR + any extra calories you burn during the day. If you eat too much you'll gain fat as well as muscle. You'll want to look as lean as possible. You'll want to eat 1 gram of protein per lean body mass each day. To find out what your body mass is, get a body fat measurement. Let's say your body fat percentage is 10%. That means you have 90% lean body mass. If you weigh 150 lbs that is 150 x .90 = 135 lbs of lean body mass, so you should eat 135 grams of protein every day. Carbohydrates have gotten a bad rap in recent years. Tons of fad diets proclaim their inherent ghoulishness and treat them like the boogeyman. In fact, carbohydrates are the building blocks of fuel for your body, and complex carbohydrates in particular can be good for your body, as they are metabolized a lot less quickly than simple carbohydrates. Stick mostly to healthy carbs, such as legumes, veggies, fruits, and whole grains. Stay away from less healthy carbs, such as processed foods, white breads, sugars, and fried foods. Like carbs, fats have been excoriated in recent years. The key is understanding what fats to put into your body. Whereas saturated fats — coming from chips and candy bars — and trans fats — coming from frozen or "fast" foods — aren't good for you, unsaturated fats and fatty acids are actually healthy when consumed in moderation.  Examples of unsaturated fats include: nuts, vegetable oils, olive oil, avocado Examples of fatty acids include: soybean oils, fish (mackerel, sardines, salmon, etc.), flaxseed, walnuts Find out your calorie requirements and estimate how many calories you burn during a day. Then shoot to exceed that calorie threshold in order to build muscle. Instead of eating one or two big meals during the day, try five or six smaller meals which include pre- and post-workout snacks. Sleep is not only essential for feeling relaxed and ready to hit the day in the morning — it's also essential for helping your body's muscles grow. Researchers have found that during high-quality REM...

Article in English: Eating a morning meal each day is important for your entire family's health.  Eating breakfast has been linked with a variety of health benefits including healthy weight management, improved concentration and alertness and a more balanced mood.  Getting your kids to eat breakfast regularly may also help them manage their weight and keep this healthy habit of eating a morning meal into adulthood.  Breakfast doesn't have to be anything special.  It could be a meal you sit down together to eat every morning, or something you grab and eat on the way to work and school. Family friendly breakfasts include:  1 whole grain waffle with peanut butter and banana slices, or "egg in a hole" using 1 slice whole wheat bread, 1 egg and some shredded cheese or a fruit and yogurt parfait with low-fat granola. Packing lunch for both parents and kid's can help everyone improve their diet and eat healthier.  Packing lunches for adults can help save money and improve overall nutrition. Many times options at schools are not as healthy as parents would like.  Even if your child's school offers healthier options, it may be tempting for kids to choose their favorite more processed foods when they are in charge of making their own choices.  To save time, pack lunches at night.  That way, everyone's meals are ready to grab and go in the morning. Examples of family friendly packed lunches include:  whole wheat wrap with lean deli meat and cheese with a small piece of fruit and baby carrots or make your own bento box with nuts, cubed cheese, fruit and raw veggies. Numerous studies have shown that all members of the family benefit when they eat together as often as possible.  Even with everyone's busy schedules, try to aim for at least 3-4 days a week where the family sits down and eats together.  Studies have shown that eating together helps improve children's vocabulary and reading skills, children will eat more fruits and vegetables, and will lower the risk of unhealthy behaviors in teens (like binge drinking or smoking).

Article in English: Eating poorly can make it hard for your brain to work, because it won't have the tools it needs. The same goes for sleep. Scientists now think that when we sleep, our brains clean out toxins and other dangerous materials that keep us from being able to think clearly. Get your 8 hours of sleep (or however much leaves your body feeling refreshed for the entire day) and eat a healthy, balanced diet. Skip out on junk food, sugar, and too much fat. You should eat fruits, vegetables (kale and spinach are good), and healthy protein sources like fish and nuts. Keep all of your work organized in folders and binders and keep a calendar of due dates. Staying organized like this will help keep you from forgetting assignments and tests. It will also help you schedule in study time and relaxation time, in a way that you can create a healthy balance. Staying organized extends to your work space as well. You should keep extras off of your desk that might cause distractions. When you study, start by evaluating what you do know. You can set aside the information you do know for last minute review. Just make sure that you really are comfortable with the material and do set aside at least a little review time before going in for a test. Once you've set this aside, you can focus on conquering the information that you don't know or aren't comfortable with. When you know you have a test coming up, you'll need to really buckle down and devote extra time and focus to making sure you understand the material. Talk to your teacher for some extra, pointed advice on how to prepare for your test. You should at least ask them about the format that you can expect, as well as how it will be graded.  Study for tests in the testing room. Visual learners especially will benefit from this technique. Your brain will associate the visuals in the room with the studying you did and the information you learned, making it easier to recall. Some studies have argued, however, that moving around to different rooms can help you remember information better....

Article in English: Editing is one of the most underrated art forms in cinema, but that is almost by design. The best editors are invisible, making their cuts and changes  perfectly. As a result, the audience, never has to think about editing. The footage just flows together. When you start editing your movie, make sure you know what the story, point, or thesis of your film is. All of your editing needs to service this idea. Editing version of paint and brushes is the "cut," which is simply when you transition from one shot to another. This is how films tell stories -- the images cut from one to the other, and each cut shows the audience a slight change or progression, like "she enters the building," or "he is talking now." They can be simple or symbolic, such as Stanley Kubrick's famous cut from a tossed bone to a space station in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Knowing how to use cuts to tell your story is vital to film editing.   Hard Cut-- a cut to another angle or shot with no transitions. This is the most common cut in film.  Smash Cut- An abrupt shift to completely different scene/image. This calls attention to the cut, often signalling a surprise or big shift in the story.  Jump Cut-- An abrupt cut made within the same scene, usually to a slightly different angle. Though uncommon, they show confusion or the passing of time.  J-Cut-- Cutting to the audio of the next shot, but not the video. This is a great way to link two scenes thematically, or provide narration.  L-Cut-- Cutting to the video of the next shot, but still playing the audio from the old scene. This is a great way to show a character talking about something, like a promise, then doing it (or breaking it).  Action Cut-- A cut in the middle of some movement. For example, showing a door opening on one room then cutting as it opens to a shot of the same door opening from the other side.  Superimposition: When two different videos layer on top of each other, implying that they are connected and intertwined. This is often used in transitions, too.   Matching Shots: When...

Article in English: Eight wooden clothespins will make one snowflake ornament. Carefully separate each clothespin, removing the metal springs. Take some hot glue or wood glue and stick the flat sides of each clothespin together. Take a piece of ribbon, fold it in half, and insert both ends between  two of the wooden pieces before you glue them. This will allow you to hang the ornament later. Assemble the snowflake as follows:  Take two of the glued-together pieces and align the flattened edges at the top to form a right-angle. Attach two more pieces to form an X shape. Take the remaining four glued-together pieces and stick one in between each right angle. You should now have a snowflake. Paint the snowflake using white or gold spray paint. Paint with a slight, glittery shimmer can look very nice. Stick sequins or jewels onto the ornament as you see fit.

Article in English: Eliminate the time between bacon retrieval (huzzah!) and the check-out counter. You don't want it to warm up under your pile of Captain Crunch and Miracle Whip. When you get home, promptly place the package of bacon in the refrigerator. Store the bacon at 40ºF/4.4ºC or lower. If you have a cold storage bag, make use of it! Keep it cool on the journey home. Your bacon deserves an honorable last few days, does it not? Nowadays if something doesn't come with at least four ingredients that have seven syllables, it's something to write home about. Luckily, healthier trends are picking up -- so if you have an extra dollar to spend, go for bacon with a list of ingredients you're confident in pronouncing. Aim for four or so ingredients -- pork, water, salt, and brown sugar. That other stuff is the basics for curing pork (turning it into bacon). The extras in "regular" bacon is just preservatives and chemicals. That just means that they're not using sodium nitrate when the cure it and instead they use celery. However, celery has loads of nitrates, too (all veggies do), so it's really six of one and half a dozen of the other. The best bacon will be raised and produced locally, use very few preservatives, be super fresh, and be from pigs that were raised humanely, of course. That being said, you could always cure it yourself!

Article in English: Empathy helps you understand someone else's perspective. Being empathetic is vital for authentic relationships, genuine communication, and problem-solving. Because we are social creatures, we constantly find ourselves in situations where we could be more empathetic (or empathic - the words mean the same thing). Consider these situations:  Think about being in line at the grocery store. The cashier is taking forever because he is new to his job. While you may be frustrated, you may also understand that when someone is learning something, they do not go as fast. You might picture yourself as the cashier, who is probably very stressed out that people are frustrated and grumbling. Because you are using empathy, you may decide to be patient and understanding. Imagine your friend just found out her parents are getting divorced. Maybe your parents are still married and you have no experience with this. But you can consider how it would feel to hear this news, and respond how you imagine you'd like someone to respond to you, if you were in your friend's shoes. You might say, “I'm so sorry to hear this. How are you doing?” You can't understand what other people are feeling until you learn and label your own emotions. It isn't always easy to figure out what you are feeling, though. Here are some basic ways to help identify your feelings:  Talk to someone. Sharing feelings out loud with others helps you get feedback, and also helps you sort through them as you talk.  Write in a journal. Write down what's going through your mind and help process and name your feelings.  Think about your thoughts. For example, if you are thinking, “I have so much to do! The house is a mess and company is coming!” you might be feeling stressed out.  Carry a list of emotions with you. If you are new to identifying your emotions, then carrying a list of different emotions may help you to identify what you are feeling. Active listening helps you develop empathy because you are fully listening to the person talking (with your eyes and body...

Article in English: Empathy is the ability to feel with someone. It requires you to go below the surface and experience the same emotions someone else is experiencing. It's easy to get empathy mixed up with sympathy, which is when you pity someone for their misfortune, and perhaps act on that feeling to try to help. But empathy runs deeper: rather than feeling for someone, you feel with them.  For example, let's say your sister begins to cry as she tells you that her boyfriend just broke up with her. As you watch the tears roll down her face and listen to her describe what happened, you feel your own throat start to tighten. You don't just feel sorry for her, you feel sad, too. That's empathy. Another way to look at empathy is to see it as a shared understanding, an ability to project yourself into someone else's experience. The idea of trying to walk a mile in someone else's shoes is a description of feeling empathy. Being empathetic means sharing in any kind of emotion - it doesn't have to be a negative one. Being empathetic is being tuned in to all of a person's feelings and emotions so that you get a sense of what it's like to be that person. You don't have to have a similar background to someone else to feel empathy for them. It's not about having a shared understanding because you've been there, too. In fact, you can feel empathy for people with whom you have nothing in common. Being empathetic is about experiencing what someone else is feeling - whatever it is. It doesn't have to be something you've felt before.  This means you can feel empathy for anyone. A young person can empathize with an elderly person in a nursing home, even though she has clearly never had that experience. A rich person can empathize with someone who is homeless, even if he has always been privileged to have a roof over his head and plenty to eat. You can feel empathy for a stranger on the train you're watching from across the aisle. To put it another way, being empathetic doesn't mean imagining what life must be like for someone - it means...

Article in English: Emphasize that sharing is temporary: another child may take a turn with his or her toy, but eventually, it will be returned. Note that sharing does not take away ownership. It's fine to make this explicit for toddlers. Say, “that is your truck. You can let someone else play with your truck, but it is still yours.” Before you expect toddlers to share their toys with other children, they can practice sharing with you. Ask toddlers, from time to time, to hand you their favorite toys. Let them learn to be patient. Return their toys after a designated interval, and praise them for sharing. This will help toddlers distinguish between borrowing and taking. Point out that sharing a toy is generous and kind. In addition, point out that other children will also share their toys. Everyone will get to play with new and different items. Talk to children about what will be expected during play dates and at preschool. Let them know ahead of time that they will be sharing toys. Explain what friendship is, and teach toddlers that friendships involve sharing toys and playing together without fighting. It helps to be aware of what a particular toddler is struggling with. Does the toddler tend to grab toys away from other children, or does he or she struggle with other children taking toys? Teach toddlers to deal with these issues as best they can. Let toddlers see you sharing your possessions with others. If they ask to play with something of yours (assuming that it is safe and not easily damaged), let them. Emphasize the fact that sharing is temporary, and you know you will get the item back soon.

Article in English: Engaging in a sport that requires you to focus on your body and/or eye-hand coordination is a good way to clear your head.  Plus, exercise brings the added benefit of producing the brain's feel-good neurotransmitters, endorphins, which will improve your mood. Challenge yourself mentally by completing a Sudoku or crossword puzzle, solving complicated math problems or following a complex set of instructions to complete a project.  The mental focus it will take to do these kinds of activities will leave you with no time or mental energy to think your unwanted thoughts. Laughter can take your mind off worries.  When we laugh, our brain is engaged--it's instructing our body to make a series of gestures and sound.  Laughing helps reduce stress, so if your recurring thoughts are causing you anxiety, laughter really is good medicine.  Hang out with friends who simply crack you up, rent a funny movie or try a laughter yoga class.  You can even find therapists who specialize in "laughter therapy," which teaches people how to openly laugh at things that aren't usually funny and to use humor to cope with difficult situations. Often the best way to get a thought out of your head is to share it with someone else.  Turn to a friend or family member who's a good listener and tell them what's on your mind.  If you feel as though your difficulty in dealing with your unwanted thoughts is more than a friend can help with, turn to a professional therapist or counselor who can work with you.

Article in English: Enhance your body's ability to fend off muscle pain by taking 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C twice daily. This will also help boost your immune system. It may be tough to get this much from food alone but fresh fruits and vegetables are always the best source if possible. You can also take supplements. Some of the most nutrient rich sources of vitamin C include:  Oranges: 69mg of vitamin C per serving. Chili peppers: 107 mg of vitamin C per serving. Red Bell Peppers: 190 mg of Vitamin C per serving. Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to chronic pain. In addition, vitamin D may help improve muscle fatigue and recovery time. Take 200 iu (two capsules) of vitamin D3 daily. Although you can get vitamin D from sunshine, you'll be resting inside, so you'll likely need to take supplements. Muscle pain can be in part caused by inflammation. Green tea is known to be an anti-inflammatory treatment that can help with muscle pain.  Green tea also causes upregulation of the body's natural killer cells that are responsible for targeting infectious agents. Therefore, green tea can help fight illness and enhance immunity. Drink at least one cup daily. According to experts, ginseng extract can facilitate the body's immune response. It can also relieve exhaustion and muscle pain that you may experience with an illness that consumes a lot of your energy, such as chikungunya. There is no medical consensus on dosing. Follow the product's label for dosing instructions. Aged garlic supplements can help reduce muscle soreness and pain. The chemical allicin, which is contained in garlic, may contribute to this reduction. Aged garlic can also help the body's natural killer cells to activate immunity. Try taking aged garlic supplements to help fight the infection.

Article in English: Ensure that the top of the front sight post is level with the top of the rear sight, and that the rear sight appears evenly centered within the notch of the front sight. This will ensure that the gun is level and that you'll get a good "sight picture" when aiming at the target. It is most common to aim by using your dominant eye and closing the other. For other events where depth perception is important, practice aiming with both eyes open. You will need to learn to ignore the picture from your non dominant eye while still seeing the depth. When shooting, a common confusion is where to focus.On the target? On the sight? On the target? After leveling the handgun and ensuring your firearm is aimed correctly you will need to focus on the target or placing your shot accurately is impossible. You should see the sharply focused front sight touching the bottom of the blurry, unfocused bulls-eye. Now you place your trigger finger on the trigger. When you're ready to shoot and you've practiced aiming and steadying the gun and developing a good sight picture, load the gun. Keep the safety on when loading the gun (if your gun has one) and remove it when you're in the firing position with your gun pointed at the target. Keep the barrel of the gun pointed downrange the entire time you load the gun! Most shooting accidents happen during loading and unloading a handgun. If the pistol is a semi-automatic, you'll need to load a round into the chamber by pulling back the slide and releasing it.

Article in English: Ensure you drink the recommended amount of water, which is about 13 cups per day for men and 9 cups for women. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day in order to help rinse away bacteria and prevent dry mouth. Both can contribute to the formation of tonsil stones.  Swap out sodas, sports drinks, energy drinks, and fruit juices for water, since sugar can increase bacteria buildup. Alcohol dehydrates and causes dry mouth, so limit your alcohol consumption and be sure to brush well after to drinking, especially if you have recurring tonsil stones. Consider limiting your sugar and dairy intake. Consuming too many sugary foods increases tartar, plaque, and bacteria buildup. Dairy products also promote oral bacterial growth, so make sure to give your teeth a good brush after drinking milk or consuming other dairy. Nasal allergies, head colds, and post-nasal drips can cause mucus to accumulate in the back of your throat. Mucus increases your exposure to oral bacteria, and contributes to the development of tonsil stones. If you frequently experience problems with nasal allergies, try reducing your exposure to pollen by closing windows and spending more time indoors during allergy season, and keep the air moist in your home using a humidifier.

Article in English: Ensure your fireplace is off and cool to the touch before beginning. Choose a rag that you don’t mind throwing out after cleaning the glass. You could use paper towels in place of a cloth, if desired. Use the ash from the fireplace itself. Make sure the cloth is coated in ash, as this will actually help remove soot from the glass, even if it sounds counterintuitive. Put some elbow grease into it! You’ll need to scrub pretty hard to get the glass clean. Keep working until all the soot or discoloration is removed. Once the glass is clean, remove any streaks or remaining residue with a clean microfiber towel.

Article in English: Enunciate each word so people can understand you easily. Practice talking at a steady conversational pace, making each sound distinct and clear.  Tongue twisters are a good way to practice enunciation. Try repeating "See these thick trees, a tricky thicket indeed." keeping each sound distinct. Try eating peanut butter, then practice saying ordinary sentences. The increased stickiness in your mouth forces you to concentrate on your pronunciation. top using meaningless words and sounds. Even presidents and public figures often sprinkle their speech with wells, ums, ers, likes, and you-knows, but you can do better. These words slow down the conversation and make you appear hesitant or uncertain. Practice thinking of the whole sentence before you open your mouth, then say it at an even, conversational pace without pausing or using these "filler sounds." Keep a jar in your home, and drop a coin into it every time you use one of these words. Let other members of your household trade this money in for favors — for example, they can return $5 from the jar and make you cook dinner. There's no need to pick up five-dollar words that no one uses in everyday speech. Instead, think of vague words that you overuse, and come up with more specific, useful terms. Here are a few common examples:  Instead of "good," "cool," or "awesome," describe the situation more accurately. Talk about a "relaxing day," a "thrilling vacation," or a "friendly, hard-working person." Instead of "crappy," "awful," or "terrible," consider whether you mean "exhausted," "depressing," or "revolting." Don't just say "I loved that movie!" or "I hate this weather." Express an actual opinion, such as "The jokes and action sequences were perfectly paced. They kept me laughing and excited the whole time."

Article in English: Enzymatic cleaners break down proteins that form stains. Since blood stains bond to the fabric using proteins, enzymatic cleaners can be highly effective at removing them. However, wool and silk fibres are made from proteins, and may break apart if exposed to an enzyme product. If you are having trouble finding a cleaning product labeled "enzymatic" or "enzyme cleaner," try a "natural" or "earth-friendly" laundry detergent or laundry pre-treatment, which often contain biodegradable enzymes. Nature's Miracle and Seventh Generation laundry detergent both fall in this category. Agitate the fabric with your fingers to help scrape off the crusted material, or scrape it off using a blunt knife. Dissolve about 120 mL (1/2 cup) of the cleaner in a bowl of cold water, then submerge the stained fabric. The soaking time will depend on how old the dried blood stain is, and how strong the cleaning product is. Soak at least one hour, or for as many as eight. Optionally, scrub the cleaner into the stain with a toothbrush before submerging. Wash the fabric as usual, but do not put it in the drier, which may cause the blood to permanently set. Let it air dry, then check whether the stain is still present.

Article in English: Enzymes are the workforce of the biochemical world. Enzymes change various substances without getting used up themselves, like nature’s catalytic converters. The enzymes may help break down melanin into colorless smaller parts.  The different foods described here contain different enzymes, but all classified as enzymes which break up proteins—the proteases or proteolytic enzymes. These proteases include papain (in papaya), potato aspartic protease, and bromelain (in pineapple). Take one medium sized potato (any kind of white potato will work) and grate it into a bowl. Add enough honey to make a paste.  Apply the mixture to the brown spots. Leave the mixture on for about 15 minutes, and then rinse it off with cool water. Scoop all of the pulp out of a papaya and mash it in a bowl until it is an even consistency.  You may want to use a hand mixer to thoroughly mash the fruit.  Use a cotton swab or make-up brush to apply a mask to your face and any other area that has brown spots. Leave the mask on until it dries and rinse off with cool water. Pour some pineapple juice into a bowl (ensure that it is 100% pineapple juice with no added sugar or juice your own pineapple). Using a cotton swab, apply the pineapple juice to any brown spot and leave it on until dry. Rinse off with cool water. As an alternative, mash up some pineapple slices and apply as a mask to your face and any other area that has brown spots. Leave the mask on until dry, and then rinse off with cool water. Cook ½ cup of chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans) by measuring out ¼ cup of peas and boiling them in ½ of water.  Boil until the peas are soft (15 minutes for canned beans or about an hour for dried beans), then remove from heat and cool.  When cooled, mash the cooked chick peas to make a paste. Rub the paste onto the spots and let it dry. Rinse it off with cool water.

Article in English: Epididymitis is treated based on the cause of the inflammation. Most cases are caused by infection, so your doctor will probably prescribe you an antibiotic. The type of antibiotic depends on whether the infection is caused by an STI or not. If your epididymitis is caused by an STI, your sexual partner may also receive a prescription.  For gonorrhea and chlamydia infections, the doctor will generally give you a single dose of the antibiotic ceftriaxone (250 mg) as a shot, followed by 100 mg of doxycycline as a pill twice a day for 10 days. In some cases, the doxycycline may be replaced by 500 mg of levofloxacin once a day for 10 days or 300 mg of ofloxacin twice a day for 10 days. If your infection is caused by an STI, you will need to avoid intercourse until both you and your partner have completed your full antibiotic course. If your infection isn't caused by an STI, you may just be given the levofloxacin or ofloxacin without the ceftriaxone. These medications can be used to reduce the pain and inflammation. They're convenient, as they're probably already in your bathroom cabinet, and relatively effective. However, do not self-medicate for more than 10 days on an analgesic like ibuprofen; consult your doctor again if pain continues past 10 days. For ibuprofen, take 200 mg every 4-6 hours to reduce the pain and inflammation. You can increase the dose to 400 mg if necessary. Resting in bed for a few days will help you deal with the pain associated with the condition. In bed, your crotch area will suffer less stress, reducing pain. Keep your testicles elevated to keep your symptoms at bay. When lying or sitting, placing a towel or rolled shirt below the scrotum can help to reduce discomfort. Applying cold packs to your scrotum will reduce inflammation by decreasing the blood flow. Simply wrap the ice pack in a towel and apply it to the scrotum. Keep it there for about 30 minutes and no longer in order to avoid skin damage. Never apply ice directly to your skin. You can damage your skin, especially in such a...

Article in English: Episodes of anger have triggers that play a large part in igniting these emotional chain reactions. Knowledge of this triggering event may exist in your own memory. If you discover the source of the problem through reflection, you can skip the rest of this guide and focus on apologizing instead.  Did you fail to return an important call? Forget an anniversary? Did you say something that made him react negatively?  Did you make a joke that was not well-received? Criticize his actions? He may not be angry because of one thing. Many times, a single event can be the straw that breaks that camel's back, and people have different levels of resilience or tolerance for stressful events before they hit a breaking point. Ask yourself if he has expressed disapproval with your patterns of behavior before.  Do you consistently show up late to social engagements? Talk over him? It can be difficult to objectively assess your behavior in relation to the person, but this is a necessary procedure if you hope to discover the source of the interpersonal conflict.  Explore your emotions. If you reflect on a particular exchange or way of relating that you have with the person and it drudges up strong emotions, that may be a sign of something significant and help you uncover the reason behind his frustration. Analyze your thoughts. Many of us engage in irrational thinking when we become involved with another person. Closeness to the situation causes us to lose some of the objectivity that comes with an outside vantage point. Pinpoint irrational thoughts in order to follow the tracks to your beliefs about the person, which can cause you to act a certain way toward him. Be aware of your behavior. Pay attention to what you are doing in moments where you interact with the person. Automatic and thoughtless actions can be the source of a great deal of interpersonal conflict. Practice mindfulness meditation in order to attain greater awareness and attentional control over yourself.

Article in English: Epoxy coatings will react with other, previously installed coatings, so realize polyurethane and latex floor paints do not make a suitable substrate for epoxy products.  If you have one of these coatings on your garage floor, it will require stripping prior to applying the epoxy. If you have spilled lubricants, or your automobile has leaked on the floor, it will have left a residue that must also be removed before beginning the application.  An industrial degreaser or solvent based cleaner will be required for this purpose, and care should be used to prevent asphyxiation or combustion while this step is undertaken. Once you've cleaned the floor, it's now time to remove any formation of grease or oil. The cheapest and quickest way to remove grease and oil residue is by using a concrete degreaser. You can buy this in the hardware store. Pour the solution on your floor and start scrubbing away. The next step is a bit unorthodox. Let the degreaser soak in for a number of minutes and pour cat litter over the areas that have stains. Proceed by grinding it using your shoe. Let it stay there for 24 hours and sweep it. This material will need to be sanded or ground off, as ordinary solvents do not effectively remove it. Take a small cup of muriatic acid mixed at a ratio of four parts water to one part acid. Drip small amounts of the acid solution to various areas of the floor. Pay close attention to those areas that appear different in color, texture, or shininess. The solution should fizz slightly yellow if there is no coating present. If a coating exists, it will have to be removed, depending on the size of the area:     Small isolated areas: a surface grinder or aggressive sander with 50 grit or coarser sandpaper may do the trick, and then repeat step one. If most or all of the floor will not return a fizz, then this suggests that you may want to rent or purchase a floor grinder, to remove that coating. Repeat the previous step to test again.

Article in English: Epoxy isn’t something you want to breathe in, so stay safe by putting on a mask before you begin. Working outdoors is your safest option, and make sure pets and family members aren’t near your work area. If the crack goes all the way through the wood, tape over one side. The tape will hold the liquid epoxy in place long enough for it to solidify. Epoxy is better for treating large cracks than the other filler methods. Epoxy consists of two parts packaged together, resin and hardener. Estimate how much you’ll need to fill the crack. Add them to the bowl, but don’t mix them yet. The epoxy immediately begins to harden when the parts are combined. You’ll have about 5 minutes to get it into the crack, so start with a small batch. At home improvement stores you can usually find all sorts of epoxy coloring dyes, powdered pigments, or metallic powders. Pick one that matches your project, then use a drop of dye or sprinkle of powder to color the epoxy. You can even mix in a scoop of coffee grounds to turn the epoxy black. Grab a spoon or stirring stick and quickly mix the epoxy parts together, along with any added coloring. After a few seconds it’ll turn into a paint-like substance ready to be spread over the crack. Transfer the epoxy to the crack using the stirring spoon or stick. Push it as far into the crack as possible. Most of it will flow down to the bottom. If you don’t have enough to fill the entire crack, simply make more. Use a needle to pop any bubbles that appear when pouring the epoxy. The epoxy hardens within minutes, so you’ll know right away whether or not you need to mix another batch. Continue mixing equal amounts of resin and hardener until you’ve filled the entire crack. After 2 to 4 hours, the epoxy will have dried significantly. Press your fingernail into it. If you leave a dent, it’s not ready. Letting it dry overnight is always preferable and, in cool weather, is necessary to ensure that the epoxy stays in place. First, cut away any excess epoxy with a putty knife. Then get some fine grit...

Article in English: Epsom salt contains magnesium, which can act as a laxative. To use it as an oral laxative, dissolve 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) (30 g) of Epsom salt in 1 cup (240 ml) of water or juice. Drink the juice immediately. You should pass stool within 30 minutes to 6 hours. Avoid taking more than 1 Epsom salt laxative in a day because you can overdose on magnesium. If you've tried other remedies or laxatives without being able to pass stool, buy a laxative stimulant that contains bisacodyl or senna-sennosides. These stimulate your bowels to contract so you can pass stool.  You should only take 1 dose of stimulant laxatives a day and don't use them for more than a day or two in a row. Always try other constipation therapies before reaching for the stimulant laxative. Stimulant laxatives can cause dehydration and dependence if you use them too frequently.

Article in English: Especially if this is the first time shaving your chest, you want to use a fresh razor blade that will require fewer passes, which translates into less shaving irritation. You’re more likely to cause cuts and nicks on fleshy areas, so use your free hand to stretch the skin, giving yourself a flatter surface to shave. You only want to apply a soft amount of pressure against the razor blade and use short strokes. A man’s chest hair grows in different directions, so you won’t really have the same with-the-grain or against-the-grain concerns that you would with shaving your face. No matter which direction you shave it will be with the grain of some hairs and against for others, so use the direction most comfortable to you. Hair will bind up the blade to make it less effective and require more strokes. To avoid this, rinse the blade under the running water after each pass. Nipples are much softer and fleshier parts of the skin, and you should avoid trying to shave over them because you are much more likely to cause cuts and nicks. To help avoid nipples, you can use the fingers of your free hand to cover a nipple while holding the skin taut as you cover that area of your chest. You should try not to pass over each area more than twice to help reduce irritation. For the best results, reapply shaving product before returning to any areas that need a second pass.
