Q: A way to start speaking Japanese is by learning some basic phrases like "how are you?", which in Japanese is "Ogenki desu ka?" There are a lot of websites that list basic phrases and give audio exercises for practicing them. On your break at work or down time at home, spend a few minutes exploring these Japanese language websites. Then try using a newly learned phrase when you see a friend. The Japanese Broadcasting Corporation (NHK), for example, offers basic Japanese lessons on their website at https://www.nhk.or.jp/lesson/english/. If you have a smart phone, search for "learn Japanese" in your application store and you'll find a list of free applications you can use to learn Japanese. Applications are a fun tool to learn new words and phrases on the go, or even when you're relaxing in bed! If you're waiting for a ride to pick you up, take out your phone and use one of these applications to learn how to say "you're late!" in Japanese. Applications like Duolingo and Memrise also allow you to practice on the computer. Sometimes when you have free time you might be in the mood to watch a movie or TV show. When that happens, try watching a Japanese movie or show with English subtitles. Watching movies and shows is a fun way to get more familiar with how sentences and specific words sound in Japanese. Netflix and Amazon Video have Japanese TV shows and movies. To find them, search for "Japanese." Japanese shows and movies on English streaming video sites will come with English subtitles so you can understand what they are saying. Just like with movies, listening to Japanese music will give you exposure to how to speak the language naturally. When you're tidying up your house or doing chores, put some Japanese music on in the background so you can get used to hearing the language. If you like pop, try listening to the hit boy band Arashi. If you're into rock, try L'Arc-en-Ciel. Music and movies are also good introductions to Japanese culture. A way of learning the Japanese words for things you use every day is to label objects you have in your house with their Japanese name. Take your fridge, for example. Write the Japanese word for it, reizoko, on a piece of paper and tape it to your fridge door. That way, every time you open it for a snack, you'll see the word and eventually remember it without looking.
A: Take advantage of online resources. Download an application. Watch a Japanese TV show or movie in your free time. Listen to Japanese music while you're cleaning. Label household objects with their Japanese names.

Article: For the second phase, Balancing, you continue to restrict your intake of carbohydrates. You can consume about 25-30 grams of net carbs per day during the Balancing phase (a minimum of 12-15 grams of net carbs should come from vegetables), as long as your weight loss continues. You can begin to reintroduce some nutritious sweet foods like berries, as well as nuts and seeds. You should, however, continue to avoid foods with added sugar. Notice how these foods make you feel. Remove them from your diet if the negatives outweigh the positives. For the second phase, you should try to determine the amount of carbs you can have per day while not slowing your weight loss. This is known as your critical carbohydrate level (CCLL). Determining this during the Balancing phase will help you to maintain the Atkins Diet in its later phases. You may have to experiment to determine CCLL, by adjusting the amount of carbs that you eat. During the Balancing phase, you can continue to eat the same foods that were acceptable in the Induction phase. In addition, you can expand your meal options to include reintroduced foods. For instance: Try mixed nuts as a snack. Add berries and/or nuts to a salad for variety. Serve nutrient-rich foods like green beans and avocados as a side with your protein at lunch or dinner. You should continue eating according to the guidelines of the Balancing phase until you are about 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) from your ideal weight. If your weight loss stops, reduce your carb intake.

Q: Try your local craft store first (think beading stores), as they will likely have the best selection in terms of size and color. Large retail stores such as Walmart will also carry a selection of craft wire. Use wire in the 14-18 gauge range for fake lips rings. 18 gauge wire is thinner than 14 gauge and is easier to work with. It may be too thin for the look you are after, but the thicker the wire the more difficult it is to work with. Packets of craft wire usually include 12 wires or so each about a foot in length. This will make sure you are working with sterile material at the start. About two inches should do it. Snip off several pieces of slightly different lengths with the wire cutter. You probably will have to experiment with the length to find the right fit for your mouth. If the length is too short, the ring will be too tight; if it is too long, the ring will be too lose. The snipped ends will be sharp, and you don't want them to scratch either the inside or the outside of your mouth. With a piece of 60 grit sandpaper, or coarser, sand away the sharp edges. If the wire is thin and malleable enough, you can bend it around your finger. But for a perfect, continuous curvature, bend it around something harder such as a plastic or metal rod that has the thickness of a finger. The circular shape can be changed into an oval or some other variation on a circle with standard pliers (or channel locks). Simply place the circular ring in the jaws of the pliers and gently apply pressure. " After you have bent the wire into a circle, you can work on the two other design features of your fake lip ring, the gap and the flat. The gap is the open area of the ring that allows you to slip it over your lip, and the flat is the area that nobody sees inside your mouth that can come into contact with your lower jaw and/or gum line. If you don't create the flat, the lip ring will have a bulge that could irritate your gums. To create the gap gently pry open the ring with your finger or the needle-nosed pliers. To create the flat, straighten the wire at one of the ends by flattening it with the needle-nosed pliers. The flat area should be about 1/3 the length of the entire ring. After sliding the ring over your lip and into place, squeeze it only enough to keep it from sliding off on its own. You probably will need to make small adjustments to achieve the desired feel and look. Make sure the gap is just big enough. If it is too small, the fit will be too tight and you could end up with a hole on either the front or the inside of your mouth. If the gap is too big, the fit will be too lose. Depending on the fullness of your lips, you might have to adjust the overall shape of the ring. Some people like a tight fit that depresses the flesh of the lip. Other people prefer a looser feel and look. Although many people will be satisfied with the wire ring only, there are number of creative things you can do to make your ring more interesting and attractive. Use the tiny metal ringlets from broken or obsolete jewelry to spice up your lip ring. Place the ringlets on the wire so they are visible only on the outside part of the ring. They will create a more complicated look, however, you don't want these tiny bits of metal to end up on the inside of your mouth. Create three or more rings and join them together with craft wire to form a lip ring cluster. Use your lip rings in concert with snake bites or other body decoration around the mouth.
