Technology

The microwave has been a household staple since its conception nearly 50 years ago, but hasn't seen much in innovation despite major tech breakthroughs.

It was only a matter of time before a company stepped in with a concept to fix a common problem: Leftovers are just not as good the next day.

Microwave (alat penghangat makanan) telah menjadi peralatan rumah tangga pokok sejak alat itu diciptakan sekitar 50 tahun lalu. Meskipun microwafe merupakan terobosan teknik utama, tetapi belum banyak pembaharuan. 

Itu hanya masalah waktu sebelum suatu perusahaan melangkah untuk memperbaiki suatu permasalahan umum. Sisa makan siang sudah tidak enak keesokan harinya.

Slang Words

  • Bae

    Perhaps the biggest slang term of the year was "bae," which is a shortened form of "babe" and also an acronym for "before anyone else." The word is used as a term of endearment for a significant other, or sometimes about food or things you just really like. 

    • Slay

      Similar to "yas," "slay" became a term used often in fashion (although definitely not exclusively) to describe a person who is looking or doing something that is amazing. When you are slaying, it means that you are at the top of your game.

      Bae Mungkin istilah slang terbesar tahun ini adalah "bae," yang merupakan bentuk singkat dari "sayang" dan juga merupakan singkatan dari "sebelum orang lain." Kata ini digunakan sebagai istilah sayang untuk lainnya signifikan, atau kadang-kadang tentang makanan atau hal-hal yang Anda hanya benar-benar suka. Pharrell membuat penggunaan kata populer dalam lagunya "Ayo Get It Bae.

      INDONESIAN

      Membunuh Mirip dengan "yas," "membunuh" menjadi istilah yang sering digunakan dalam mode (meskipun jelas tidak secara eksklusif) untuk menggambarkan seseorang yang sedang mencari atau melakukan sesuatu yang menakjubkan. Ketika Anda membunuh, itu berarti bahwa Anda berada di puncak permainan Anda.

Di Lombok, khususnya suku sasak terdapat tradisi “menculik” gadis. Tradisi ini termasuk budaya di Lombok yang masih dijaga hingga sekarang. Namun, tidak sembarangan gadis yang bisa diculik. Gadis yang akan diculik tentu harus gadis yang memang mencintai laki-laki yang akan menculiknya.

Jika sudah satu hari Si gadis bermalam di rumah kerabat laki-laki tersebut, pihak keluarga akan memberitahukan pada pihak keluarga Si gadis bahwa mereka telah menculik Si gadis dan disembunyikan di suatu tempat. Pemberitahuan ini disebut Nyelabar. Selanjutnya kedua keluarga akan bertemu untuk membicarakan tahap selanjutnya yaitu pernikahan antara keduanya.

House-soiling: Trouble Beyond the Litter Box


House-soiling: Trouble Beyond the Litter Box


Unfortunately, cats don't always connect with the litter box. Even cats that know the drill will sometimes choose another spot at home. "House-soiling" can become a concern for even the best cat owners. It can be a sign of a serious health issue or simply the result of changes around the house. Pay close attention for clues to put an early end to a nasty problem for both you and the cat you love.

Signs of a problem:

  • A pattern of urinating and/or defecating outside the litter box
  • Urine spraying - evidence of urine marks around doorways, windows or new objects in the house
  • Spending longer than a normal amount of time in the litter box
  • Vocalizing while in the litter box
  • Going to the litter box more often than normal

Potential causes:

  • Health issues ranging from diabetes mellitus to lower urinary tract disease
  • A dirty litter box or inadequate number of boxes in the home. At least one box per cat plus one is recommended. The litter boxes need to be in different locations in the house - not all in one room.
  • Litter box is located in a remote, noisy or unpleasant surrounding
  • Litter box is inappropriate - covered boxes can maintain odors and large cats may not be able to move around enough in small boxes
  • Wrong type of litter or sudden change in litter type
  • Social changes, such as the addition of a new cat or the sudden presence of outdoor cats
If you change your cat's litter box infrequently, travel a lot, or have multiple cats at home, you're more likely to experience a "house-soiling" problem. Consider making adjustments based on some of the factors described above. If the problem continues, see your veterinarian to investigate possible health problems.

Obedience Training Your Cat


Obedience Training Your Cat


The first thing to realize is that cats do not understand punishment. Encouraging good behavior with a reward is much more effective. There are two types of rewards — praise from you and a tasty treat such as a few kibbles of cat food.
Keep training sessions short. Focus on one command at a time, and once mastered, move on to the next. Practice the commands in lots of different places around the house so that she gets used to responding to you in all sorts of situations. You can use the clicker technique to help with other aspects of your kitten's training, such as encouraging her to stand still for grooming and getting her used to traveling by car.

The meaning of black

The Color Black

Let us see what's the meaning of Black !

The color black relates to the hidden, the secretive and the unknown, and as a result it creates an air of mystery. It keeps things bottled up inside, hidden from the world.
In color psychology this color gives protection from external emotional stress.
It creates a barrier between itself and the outside world, providing comfort while protecting its emotions and feelings, and hiding its vulnerabilities, insecurities and lack of self confidence.
Black is the absorption of all color and the absence of light.
Black hides, while white brings to light.
What black covers, white uncovers.
We all use black at various times to hide from the world around us in one way or another. Some of us use it to hide our weight; others among us use it to hide our feelings, our fears or our insecurities.
In color psychology, black means power and control, hanging on to information and things rather than giving out to others.

Black is intimidating, unfriendly and unapproachable because of the power it exudes.
It can prevent two-way communication because of its intimidation. The salesman wearing all black will make a lot of sales, but no friends! It radiates authority, but creates fear in the process.
Black implies self-control and discipline, independence and a strong will, and giving an impression of authority and power.
Black absorbs negative energy. It is useful to carry something black with you to protect you from harm and negativity when traveling or when going about your usual daily activities outside your home.
People who like black may be conventional, conservative and serious, or they may think of themselves as being sophisticated or very dignified.
The color black is often seen as a color of sophistication, as in 'the little black dress', or 'the black tie event'.
Affluent and success orientated women often choose black as it can give an impression of elegance, sophistication and confidence.

Black is often associated with sexiness and seduction, as in the temptress in sexy black lingerie creating an air of mystery and intrigue. It can also imply submission to another (including a sexual partner), similar to the priest wearing black robes in submission to God.
Black is the end, but the end always implies a new beginning. When the light appears, black becomes white, the color of new beginnings.
Teenagers often have a psychological need to wear black during the stage of transition from the innocence of childhood to the sophistication of adulthood. It signifies the ending of one part of their life and the beginning of another, allowing them to hide from the world while they discover their own unique identity. It is important they go through this stage but a worry when it continues on into adult years if they continue to wear black to the exclusion of other colors.
Too much black can cause depression and mood swings and create a negative environment. Combined with white only, it can create an argumentative atmosphere.
It is best to use some color with black to lighten and brighten its energy.
If your favorite color is black, it will reflect in your personality! Personality color black will give you more information on this.
