Article in English: Place all of the same types of materials in the same box.  Whether it be silks, cottons, polyesters, wools, etc.  Each type of fabric needs a different treatment, has a different thickness, and different susceptibilities to creasing.  When you get to your new house, it will be much easier to sort out your clothes this way, and prioritize which ones need to come out first.  Woolen fabrics are generally thicker, and less susceptible to creasing.  To pack away these clothes, fold them like normal, and place them in one over the others.  You might want to place a paper towel in between each of them so that they do not tangle and knot together.  You might also consider getting a few extra boxes to accommodate the thickness of the fabric. Silks and cottons are thinner and easily creased.  You can fold them and place them into boxes if you don't mind the creases.  There is always the option to iron your clothes once you move into your new home.  However, if you don't want them to get creased, you can place each of the articles on hangers, and drape a plastic clothing bag over top.  Hang them in your moving vehicle when you get ready to move. Polyesters and other synthetics can be crammed into boxes.  They are fairly thin and don't crease easily.  Fold them up like any other normal clothes and place them in boxes one on top of the other. You will not need those items right away, and you can mark the boxes and bags so that you unpack them last.  For instance, if you moving in the beginning of summer, you can pack up your fall sweaters and winter coats from the start.  If you are moving in the middle of January, pack away your short sleeve t-shirts and shorts.  If you are packing in one of those in between months, leave some clothes that you might use near the top of the box.  Pack away your specialty clothes as well.  This includes hiking clothes, swim trunks, etc.  Chances are, before a big move, you will not be traveling to use these items. In separate boxes pack summer, fall, winter, and spring clothes.  Summer and...

Сгруппируйте одежду по типу материала. Сначала упакуйте несезонную одежду. Разложите одежду по сезонам. Разделите одежду по размеру. Разделите одежду по назначению.


Article in English: Place an item of 1/4-1/2 inch or 1/2-1 1/3 cm thickness, such as a tongue depressor or a chopstick, between your top and bottom teeth. Orient the object such that the length of it is sticking out in front of you, rather than out of the sides of your mouth. Now, shift your bottom jaw forward to try to point the object towards the ceiling. When you master one object comfortably, gradually increase the thickness to give you greater range of motion.  Try to select an object that is made to go in the mouth, such as those indicated above. Other household objects may accidentally chip your teeth during the exercise, if you are not careful. Perform this exercise as needed when you feel you need more mobility in your jaw, such as before a meal. Place your 1/4-1/2 inch or 1/2-1 1/3 cm item between your top and bottom teeth again, but this time, place it horizontally. Move your bottom teeth from side to side rather than up and down. This will help increase your lateral jaw mobility. Perform this exercise as needed in response to pain or when you feel you need more jaw mobility. Many people carry their heads slightly forward when they walk. This brings the spine out of alignment, aggravating TMD. Stand against a wall and tuck your chin, bringing your jaw to your chest, while pressing your shoulder blades together behind your back. This stretches the spine into a more neutral position that can alleviate TMD symptoms and increase jaw mobility.

Article in English: Place it where you can move your head back and forth as little as possible while you draw. A rectangular mirror is preferable, but a circular mirror may be used as well. Using a mirror allows you to see what you’re drawing in 3-D, and allows you to adjust your light source as you draw. Choose a comfortable pose that you can maintain for a sustained amount of time, as you’ll be using this pose throughout your drawing. Keep your eyes on the mirror roughly 80% of the time as you draw. Because you’re drawing what you see in the mirror, you should spend more time looking in the mirror than actually drawing. Stand against a plain background that makes your features pop out, such as a solid-colored wall. If you can’t find a solid-colored wall, use a solid-colored drop-cloth to hang in the background. Adjust the lighting to cast shadows you desire.  Use top-lighting or lighting from above to find more shadows for your photograph. Using a photograph gives you a 2-D reference that is easier to use than a mirror. The photo stays in one position, so you can reference the same image many times without adjusting your drawing. Drawing from a mirror is more difficult and can help advanced artists improve their skill. Invest in a cheap table easel that has a clip built into it. Use the clip to hold your drawing in a near-vertical position while you sketch. The self portrait can become distorted more easily on a flat surface.

Article in English: Place newspaper, a tarpaulin, or a drop cloth on the floor below your project. Ventilate the area by opening all windows, and turning on a fan if possible. If there are other objects close by that you cannot move out of the way, also cover these with a drop cloth to protect them Attach 150 grit sandpaper to the sander, and sand every area that you are planning to paint. Pay special attention to the edges and any detailing. Apply the deglosser with a paintbrush, and leave it to soak into the wood for 15 minutes. Then wipe it off with a cloth.  Make sure that you are working in a well-ventilated area. Liquid deglosser takes the shine off surfaces and makes them dull to prepare for painting. Clean away all loose wood, coating, and dust particles from your project. Check all of the joints and corners to make sure that you haven't missed a spot. If there is a big mess, you can always vacuum or sweep away the dust first before using a tack cloth. Dilute 4 ounces (110 g) of TSP powder into 2 gallons (7.6 L) of warm water. Use a sponge to wipe down all surfaces with the solution. Then use a clean rag to rinse all of the surfaces with fresh, clean water. Always wear gloves when using TSP to avoid irritating your skin.

Article in English: Place one cleaning tablet into the bladder. Close the cap. Lay the bladder on its back and let the tablet dissolve for five minutes. Once the tablet has dissolved, shake the bladder for 30 to 40 seconds in order to diffuse the cleaning solution.  You can purchase hydraulic cleaning tablets online. Alternatively, you can use denture tablets instead of the hydraulic cleaning tablets. Pinching the bite valve will allow the cleaning solution to flow into the tube and mouthpiece. Once the solution is in the tube and mouthpiece, let it set for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, poor the solution out. Mix 3/4 teaspoon (3.7 ml) of a mild soap with ¾ cup (177 ml) of water per liter volume. Pour the soapy solution into the bladder. Pinch the bite valve again to allow the soapy solution to travel into the tube and mouthpiece. Shake the bladder for 30 seconds and then pour out the solution. Use a pipe cleaner-like scrub brush to scrub the inside of the hose. Then use a bigger scrub brush or sponge to clean the inside of the bladder. Scrub both the tube and bladder until any and all residue is gone. Rinse until all the soap is completely removed; you may need to rinse it two to three times. Then take the disassembled parts to a well-ventilated area, like an outside patio or the bathroom, to air dry. You may need to insert a wand-like object into the bladder’s entrance to keep it propped open so it can dry thoroughly.

Article in English: Place one cup (240 mL) of water in a saucepan. Bring the water to a boil on the stovetop. To clean sterling silver with baking soda, you will need a bowl or dish that can withstand boiling water, like a glass baking dish or bowl. Tear off a piece of aluminum foil large enough to line the inside of the dish or bowl. Place the foil inside the dish, making sure the bottom and sides are securely covered with foil. Once you have lined the dish or bowl with foil, place the sterling silver directly on the foil. The silver must be in contact with the aluminum foil for the chemical reaction that removes the tarnish to occur. Once the water is boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add one tablespoon of baking soda to the boiling water. It is normal for the solution to bubble and forth. Pour the solution on top of the sterling silver. Make sure the sterling silver is completely submerged in the baking soda solution. You will need to let the sterling silver soak for several minutes to remove the tarnish. Pieces that are severely tarnished may need to soak for as long as 10 minutes. Once you have soaked the silver long enough to remove the tarnish, remove the silver from the baking soda solution. Rinse the jewelry with cool, clean water. If possible, use filtered water. Once you have rinsed the silver, dry it with a cloth made of nonabrasive fabric like microfiber or flannel. Make sure you dry the silver completely with the cloth.

Article in English: Place one flue piece on top of the other, with the wrong sides facing out and the right sides facing in. Pin together. You need to pin around all four parts of the rectangle. Place the pins as close to the edge as possible to prevent the edges from coming loose as you sew. Sew around all four sides of the two stacked pieces to create a double-layer piece to work with. You should have a seam allowance of about 1/8 inch (3.176 mm). Lightly fold the flue in half width wise and pin the edges together. Sew along the joined edge using a sewing machine or needle.  Do not iron or crease the fold. Ultimately, you will want this part of the hat to have a rounded shape, not a flat shape. The seam allowance will vary depending on how large your head is. The portion of the fabric leading up to the seam should be about half of the diameter of your brim opening, and when unfolded, this portion of the flue should be about the same size as that brim opening. Release the fold of the flue and try to shape it with your fingers so that the flue shape, as a whole, forms a rounded shape. If there is a crease along the side you folded previously and you cannot get it out simply with your fingers, you could try placing the flue over a round vase, lamp, or similar object to stretch it in that circular shape. Remove the crease by applying steam with your iron.

Article in English: Place ten dabs of tuna or your cat’s preferred reward around the rim of a saucer or small dish.  Find a quiet spot and sit facing your cat.  Place a chair or small table nearby, to the cat’s paw-side you want to use for the “high five” — that is, to your left and the cat’s right for the right paw. Please note:  This is the most involved method described in the article, and is a simplified version of one described by “clicker training” pioneer Karen Pryor. If the cat makes any type of movement toward the saucer, immediately “click + treat” by returning the saucer to the floor.  If, however, the cat leaps onto the table after the treats, calmly return the cat to the floor and present the saucer for a treat. If the cat makes no movement, lure it to move by sliding your hand toward the treat table.  Immediately “click + treat” any movement. Take it up again in a few hours or the next day.  Training before mealtime is often most effective. “Click + treat” only when the cat lifts its paw deliberately, then only clearly towards the treat. Become increasingly particular about the movements that you reward.  Eventually make only an upward-lifted and extended paw worth a treat. Place your palm up, so that the cat’s paw brushes it on the way back down.  Immediately “click + treat” contact with your hand. Keep going until your hand is at the cat’s shoulder height. Slowly but surely, you are making your hand, not the saucer, the cat’s focus. Make your cat reach ever further to contact your hand.  Reward only deliberate, forceful contact. Remove the reward saucer from the process over time.  Provide small hand-held treats as needed to keep the training going. Presenting your hand in this manner will become the cue for the action by the cat. Practice in different rooms and different environments.  Let other people try by offering the cue.  Add a verbal cue such as “high five” into the mix.

Article in English: Place the adzuki beans in a medium to large saucepan or bowl and fill the container with enough water to cover the beans. Let the beans soak overnight at room temperature.  Strictly speaking, it is not essential to soak adzuki beans. You can cook them in a pressure cooker without pre-soaking them, but pre-soaking will reduce the cooking time and can also help strip away any water-soluble components responsible for digestive upset.  If you want the beans to keep their color, shape, and aroma, do not soak them before cooking them. Pour the beans and water through a colander to drain them. Rinse the beans under running water several times. Rinsing the beans after draining them will remove more of the water-soluble fibers still clinging to the outer skin of the beans. Transfer the drained beans to a pressure cooker and add 2 cups (500 ml) of cool water. Cover the pressure cooker and set it to cook on high pressure. If you soaked the beans, this should only take 5 to 9 minutes. If you did not soak the beans, this can take 15 to 20 minutes.  Drain any excess water when done by pouring the contents of the pressure cooker through a colander again. Note that there should not be much water left after the beans finish cooking, though. When ready, the beans should be tender enough to pierce with a fork. Serve the adzuki beans alone while still hot or add them to your favorite bean dish recipe.  If serving the beans warm, you can serve them with tortilla shells, cornbread, or rice. You can also add them to casseroles, bakes, chili, and stew. If you decide to let them cool, you can enjoy the beans mixed into a green mixed salad. If you have leftovers, you can store the cooked adzuki beans in an airtight container for five days in the refrigerator or six months in the freezer.

Article in English: Place the bait provided with the trap on the inside compartment. Lift the front opening of the trap so the mouse can get inside. Once the mouse is in the trap, its weight will cause the opening to close and trap the mouse inside until you release it outside away from your home.  Catch and release traps can be purchased in store or online. If you have a larger mouse problem, purchase a catch and release trap meant for multiple mice. Read the instructions on the trap carefully since they may require different setups. Put batteries inside the trap to power it. Put a bait inside the trap near the holes so mice can smell it from the outside. Set the trap near an area where you notice mice. Once the mice enter the trap, they receive a shock that kills them instantaneously. Set the trap so the entrance is near a wall since mice tend to run near the corners. An updated version of the classic snap trap, “no touch, no see” traps make it so you don't have to handle the dead mouse. Set the lever down on the trap and place a small amount of bait inside. When the lever is back up, a mouse has triggered it. Simply depress the lever again to drop the mouse in the trash. Unlike classic snap traps, “no touch, no see” mouse traps are safe around kids and pets. Put 3–4 in (7.6–10.2 cm) of water in the bottom of a 5 US gal (19 L). Set one end of a wooden plank on the ground and the other on the edge of the bucket. Attach an old soda can to a wooden or metal dowel on top of the bucket and coat the can with a thin layer of peanut butter. Mice will walk up the ramp towards the peanut butter, but fall and get trapped in the bucket. Fill the bottom of the bucket with antifreeze if you don't want to have an odor problem, but keep it away from pets and children since antifreeze is poisonous. Check for mice twice daily to see if you've trapped any. If not, move the trap to another place around your home where you notice or think mice have been active. Mice will often return to the same trails. Mice only travel between 20–30 feet...

Article in English: Place the beans into a medium bowl and use a fork to mash them into a paste-like texture. The texture of the mashed beans should be thick and chunky. You should still see some skins in the mixture. Do not puree the black beans in a blender or food processor at this point, though, since they could become too watery to form patties if you do that. Place the green bell pepper, onion, and garlic into a food processor. Run the machine on medium speed until the vegetables are finely chopped into tiny, indistinguishable pieces. Do not allow the mixture to reach a pureed or paste-like consistency, though. Immediately after processing these vegetables, stir them into your mashed black beans until thoroughly combined. In a separate small bowl, mix together the egg, chili powder, cumin, and chili sauce, beating them gently with a fork or whisk until combined. The yolk and white of the egg should be fairly well combined. The seasonings should also appear evenly spread out within the egg mix. Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the bean mixture. Mix everything together until evenly combined. Add the bread crumbs to the same bowl and mix again, making sure that the crumbs are thoroughly combined, as well.  When ready, the entire mixture should be evenly sticky and it should hold together when pressed into portions without any difficulty. Note that the eggs help bind the ingredients together. The bread crumbs add volume to the patties, and they also prevent the mixture from becoming too moist. Separate the vegetable mixture into four portions, and flatten each portion into a burger patty using your hands or a burger mold. The veggie burger mix might be easier to form into patties if you use your hands, but if you do decide to use a patty press or mold, line it with plastic wrap before use. These veggie burger patties are usually cooked immediately, but if you decide to store them, wrap them in plastic wrap or a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate them until you are ready to cook the burgers.

Article in English: Place the butter and olive oil in a large, heavy saucepan and warm them on the stove over medium heat. Add the sliced onions once the butter melts and Sauté until soft and brown.  Sliced onion will take about 15 to 20 minutes to cook. You will need to stir the onions occasionally to prevent them from burning or sticking to the pan. If you want to distribute the onion flavor more evenly throughout the dish, you could use chopped onion instead of onion slices. Note that chopped onions will only take 7 to 12 minutes to cook. Place the uncooked freekeh grains in a medium bowl and fill the bowl with cold water. Let soak for 5 minutes. It is recommended that you do this while the onions are cooking to minimize the amount of time it takes to prepare the dish overall. Pour the freekeh and water through a sieve and rinse well under cold, running water. Let drain completely.  The purpose of soaking, draining, rinsing, and re-draining is to help clean the grains. Make sure that the holes in the sieve are very small to prevent the loss of grains. Toss the freekeh, cinnamon, and allspice into the saucepan with the onions. Stir well to combine. Pour the vegetable stock into the saucepan and sprinkle with a pinch each of salt and black pepper. Stir to mix and bring to a boil. Stir the contents of the saucepan periodically as they reach a boiling point to prevent uneven cooking. Once the liquid begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it all simmer gently for 15 minutes. Cover the saucepan as the freekeh cooks to avoid losing water through evaporation. Losing too much water can cause the freekeh to be hard and undercooked. Once the freekeh seems tender, remove the saucepan from the stove and let it stand for 5 minutes covered and 5 more minutes uncovered.  Letting the freekeh stand while covered allows the grains to finish absorbing the water. Letting it stand uncovered lets the freekeh cool down slightly. In a small, separate bowl, whisk together the three ingredients until smooth and evenly distributed.  Add a...

Article in English: Place the carrots into the slow cooker first, followed by the onions. Use a 4-quart (4-liter) crock pot, at minimum. A 5- to 6-quart (5- to 6-liter) slow cooker would be even better. You need enough space for the lid to sit securely on the cooker, but the crock pot must be at least halfway filled. Use tongs to move the roast from the skillet to the slow cooker, sitting it directly on top of the vegetables. Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce combination over the roast. Make sure that it wets the roast and also sinks down into the carrots and onion. The roast should cook for 8 hours on low. If you're running short on time, cook the roast for 4 to 5 hours on high, instead. Once the cooking time has passed, stick a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast. The temperature should be at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius). Use a sharp serrated knife and large fork to cut the roast into slices.  Serve the onions and carrots on the side. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Article in English: Place the chickpeas in a large saucepan or stockpot and pour cold water over them. The water should cover the chickpeas by 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10 cm).  As the chickpeas absorb the water, you may need to add more. In fact, chickpeas can nearly double in size, so you may end up needing twice as much water as you have chickpeas. Soaking is important for two main reasons. First, soaking dried chickpeas softens them, thereby cutting down the amount of time they need to cook. Second, the soaking process breaks down many of the gas-inducing sugars in the beans, thereby making them easier to digest. Stir 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of baking soda into the water until it dissolves.  Baking soda is not strictly necessary, but it can be beneficial. The molecules in baking soda attach themselves to gas-inducing sugars in the chickpeas known as oligosaccharides. By binding to these sugars, baking soda can break them down and partially remove that gut felt odorous, gas producer from the structure of the chickpea. On the other hand, baking soda can leave behind a salty, soapy flavor in large amounts, so if you decide to use it, you should only use a little. The chickpeas should soak in the cold water for at least 8 hours. Cover the pot of chickpeas with a clean dish towel or lid as they soak. You can leave them out at room temperature; refrigeration is not needed. If you only have an hour or so to work with, you can soak the chickpeas faster by rapidly boiling the beans in a stockpot of hot water.  Place the chickpeas in a stockpot or large saucepan and cover with 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10 cm) of water. Bring the contents of the pot to a boil over high heat on the stove. Let them continue boiling rapidly for 5 minutes, with baking soda included. Remove the pot of chickpeas from the heat, cover loosely, and let the chickpeas soak in the hot water for a full 1 hour. Pour the water and chickpeas through a strainer to separate them. Rinse the chickpeas for 30 to 60 seconds under running water while in the strainer, gently sifting them so...

Article in English: Place the chilled dough on a clean, lightly floured surface. Use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough out until it is an even 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick all the way around. Try to keep the dough in the shape of a rectangle as you roll it out. If there are uneven edges, use a knife to trim them away before cutting the main part of the dough into pieces. The scraps of dough should be re-kneaded together and re-rolled after you form pieces from the main portion. Cut additional pieces from these scraps once you roll the scraps back into a workable form. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the rectangle of dough into strips that are roughly 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) wide. Cut the dough crosswise into another set of 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) strips, ultimately forming 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) squares. You could make the pieces a little bigger, if desired, but keep in mind that larger pieces will take longer to cook. Cut the dough into 2 inch (5 cm) squares. Cut each square in half diagonally, then poke a small hole in the center of each triangle. Carefully pull one corner of the triangle through the hole, forming a knot. To form 2 inch (5 cm) squares, cut the flattened rectangle of dough into 2 inch (5 cm) strips with a knife or pizza cutter. Cut another set of 2 inch (5 cm) strips crosswise, forming the squares.

Article in English: Place the chopped yams in a roasting tray and toss them with oil, salt and pepper to thoroughly coat. Place a saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the sugar, water, lemon juice, sherry, vanilla and maple syrup. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside until the yams are done. Keep checking on the yams, making sure that they do not burn on the bottom by turning them over occasionally. At around 20-25 minutes, test them with a knife to see if they are cooked. The knife should enter easily without resistance. At this point, transfer them to the oven-proof dish. Pour the syrup over the sweet potatoes and return them to the oven. Let them warm through, giving the syrup time to caramelize. This should take about 25 minutes. Finally, remove from the oven. Your yams are almost ready for the table. All that is left is to sprinkle them with some toasted almonds. They will go well with turkey or ham.

Article in English: Place the clay pot in a large bucket and cover it with water. Allow the unglazed clay to soak in the water for at least one hour, leaving it there overnight for best results.  Thoroughly saturated terra cotta clay is easier to drill through. Water acts as both a lubricant and a cooling agent, which makes it easier for the drill bit to work its way through without causing damage to the clay or overheating. When you are ready to drill through the clay pot, remove it from the water and allow any excess puddles of water to drip off the surface you'll be drilling through. Carbide masonry drill bits should drill through unglazed, natural clay pots without much difficulty or damage.  The drill bit size and number of drill bits you'll need will vary based on the size of the hole you want to create. If you want to create a simple drainage hole, you'll probably want at least one 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) masonry drill bit. To minimize the risk of cracking the pot, it's best if you use multiple drill bits when creating holes larger than 1/4 inch (6.35 mm). Start with a 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) drill bit and gradually work your way up in size until you reach the final desired hole diameter. Place at least one strip of painter's tape or masking tape directly over the spot you plan to drill through.  The tape can help prevent the drill bit from slipping as you work through the surface of the pot. It is not always necessary with soft, unglazed clay, but it can still help. Multiple layers of tape will work even better than a single layer. This provides even greater traction and may help ensure that the tape will stick on the pot, even in spite of the moisture. If you're working with multiple drill bit sizes, start with the 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) bit.  If you only plan to use a single size, attach that drill bit to the drill now.  Use a cordless drill with variable speed for the greatest amount of control. Bring the drill bit to the center of the spot you wish to drill through and turn on the drill.

Article in English: Place the crab legs in the refrigerator the night before and let thaw slowly.  While slow thawing in the refrigerator is recommended, you can also thaw crab legs by placing them under cold, running water for several minutes. The vast majority of frozen crab legs are pre-cooked. If you prefer uncooked crab legs, your only real option is to buy a live crab. Cook the crab legs as soon as possible after thawing them. They are only good for about two days in the refrigerator and should not be refrozen. The water should come up to the halfway point of the stockpot. Add in the salt, garlic powder, and dill, and heat the water to boiling over medium-high to high heat.  You could also use a Dutch oven instead of a heavy stockpot. Instead of garlic powder and dill, you could use up to 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of a generic seafood seasoning blend or any other seasoning you generally enjoy with crab legs. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the crab legs for 3 to 6 minutes.  Leave the stockpot uncovered as the crab legs cook. The crab legs only need to be cooked long enough to heat them. Cooking them too long will ruin their delicate flavor. The water should be at a steady simmer as the crab legs cook. Remove the crab legs with tongs and place them on a serving platter to enjoy immediately. If desired, you can also serve the crab legs with melted butter.

Article in English: Place the ground beef in the skillet and cook thoroughly; get an all-around cooked/brown color leaving no pink. Remove pan from the heat and drain all the grease from the pan. Cook these for 2 minutes and then add the green onions, cabbage, carrots, and ground beef in the mixture. Cook these together and sprinkle pepper, salt, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Stir and then remove pan from heat again. Scoop up a good 3 tablespoons of the cooked mixture near one corner in a diagonally direction. Try to leave at least 1 1⁄2 inch (3.8 cm) space at both ends of the wrapper. Grab the corner nearest to the filling and fold it over the filling. Keep rolling and when you reach around the middle, tuck in both sides. Continue to wrap, but be sure to roll tight to keep everything in. When you reach the end, use a little water to seal the edge and then wrap it to create your roll. Use Saran Wrap or any plastic wrap to wrap each roll as you do the rest of the rolls. This is to keep the moisture in the roll. Heat the oil for about 5 minutes. Use the sides of the skillet to "slide" the rolls into the oil. When you use the sides, you're preventing oil from splattering when each piece hits it. Depending on how hot it is, you can also wait until the lumpia is golden brown. Place done rolls onto paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately.

Article in English: Place the gum base, corn syrup, glycerine, citric acid and bubble gum flavoring in the top part of a double boiler. Place the double boiler on the stove and turn the burner to medium high. Stirring occasionally with a spoon, heat the mixture until it becomes warm and gooey.   You can find gum base, glycerine and citric acid at candy supply stores or online retailers. Choose a classic bubble gum flavor or go for something unique, like lemon lime. You can also add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture to color your gum. Make a double boiler if you don't already have one by finding two pots, one small and one large. Fill the larger pot with a few inches of water and place it on the stove. Put the smaller pot inside the larger pot so that it's floating on the water. Place all of the ingredients except the powdered sugar in the smaller pot and turn on the burner. Bring the mixture up to temperature, stirring well. Set aside about a tablespoon of powdered sugar and pour the rest into a pile on a cutting board or another clean work surface. Use your fingers to create an indention in the powdered sugar pile. Carefully pour the melted gum base directly from the double boiler into the powdered sugar well. Be careful not to get any water in the mixture. Dust your fingers with some powdered sugar and start kneading the gum base mixture and the powdered sugar together. Work the powdered sugar into the gum base until the base gets sticky, then add more powdered sugar and keep kneading. Knead for at least 15 minutes, until the dough is soft and pliable and no longer sticky.  If you don't knead the dough enough, the gum will tend to fall apart, so don't skip this step. The dough should be smooth and stiff when you're finished. Place the dough in front of you, and place your hands palm-down on top of it. Roll the dough using your hands so that it becomes a long, thin rope. Try to roll it so that it's the same width down the length of the rope. Use a knife to cut the rope into bite-sized pieces.  You can roll the dough...

Article in English: Place the meat, the spices, the onion and garlic, the tomato paste, the egg and the breadcrumbs in a large mixing bowl. Mix all of the ingredients together using clean hands. Knead the mixture for several minutes until everything is thoroughly combined. Scoop some of the mixture into your hand and use both hands to roll it into a ball. Place the meatball on a nonstick or greased baking sheet. Continue making balls of the same size until you've finished forming the rest of the mixture into meatballs.  To make it easier to create balls of the same size, use a small ice cream scoop or a measuring cup. Use a pan with high sides to prevent the meatballs from rolling off. Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook the meatballs for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Remove them from the oven and serve with  marinara sauce.

Article in English: Place the origin hole of the compass on the angle’s vertex, lining up the base line with one of the angle’s rays. Look at the degree mark where the other ray falls. This will tell you the degree measurement of the angle.  For example, you might measure an angle that is 160 degrees wide. Remember that protractors have two sets of numbers. To know which set of numbers to look at, think about the size of the angle. Obtuse angles are greater than 90 degrees, and acute angles are less than 90 degrees. An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal parts. So, to find where the angle bisector lays, divide the number of degrees in the angle by 2. For example, if the angle is 160 degrees, you would calculate 1602=80{\displaystyle {\frac {160}{2}}=80}. So, the angle bisector is at the 80-degree mark of the angle. Again, line up the origin hole with the angle’s vertex, and line up the base line with one of the rays. Find the halfway point using the protractor. Mark this point in the angle’s interior. For example, if the bisector of a 160-degree angle lies at the 80-degree point, you would find the 80-degree mark on the protractor and draw a point at this location in the angle’s interior. Use the straightedge of the protractor to connect the vertex to the halfway point of the angle. The line you draw is the angle’s bisector.

Article in English: Place the pants in a plastic bucket or basin filled with a gallon of warm water and a 1/4 cup of bleach. Stir to soak the pants, then leave to sit for 5 minutes. For best results, you should use a warm/hot setting on your washing machine. However, be sure to check the care label on your pants first; if it specifically states that they should be washed in cold water, then use cold water. Remove the pants from the bleach solution and add them to your washing machine. If you have any white towels you wish to freshen up with a little bleach, you can add them to the washing machine too. Add the regular amount of your usual laundry detergent to the washer, then add about 3/4 cup of bleach. Let the washing machine complete a regular cycle, then dry the pants thoroughly in the dryer, or drip dry outdoors.

Article in English: Place the salmon on freezer-safe trays or plates and freeze for 45 to 60 minutes.  This step is not essential, but partially freezing the fish will make it easier to cut. You do not want the fish to be completely frozen, however. If working with frozen salmon, let the salmon thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours and start working with it once it becomes soft enough to cut into. Combine the soy sauce, molasses, lemon juice, pepper, and liquid smoke in a 1 gallon (4 L) resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag closed and give it a gentle shake to mix the ingredients well. Remove the salmon from the freezer and use a sharp kitchen knife to cut the salmon into thin strips. Make each strip roughly 1/8 to 1/4 inch (3.175 to 6.35 mm) thick. The thinner the strip, the quicker it will dehydrate into jerky. Transfer the strips of salmon to your bag of marinate and let sit for 2 to 3 hours, giving the fish plenty of time to absorb the flavor.  Seal the bag and toss gently to coat all of the salmon. Leave the salmon in the refrigerator as it sits in the marinade. Set the dehydrator to a medium setting roughly 10 minutes before you intend to use it. Drain any excess marinade from the salmon using a colander. Pat the fish dry using clean paper towels. Place the strips of salmon onto dehydrator trays in a single layer. Once done, return the dehydrator trays to the dehydrator. Let the salmon dry for 6 hours checking it. It will be done once it feels completely dry to the touch. If the salmon jerky is not quite done at 6 hours, continue dehydrating it up to another 6 hours, checking every 30 to 60 minutes.

Article in English: Place the side pattern piece on a large piece of felt. Keep the felt and the paper as flat as possible, then slide straight sewing pins into the paper and material to hold the pattern in place. Repeat with the top pattern piece and another patch of fabric. Use as many pins as necessary to secure the pattern to the felt, but also keep in mind that pins cause the pattern to wrinkle and bunch up, so using too many could slightly distort the shape of the felt once you cut it out. Use sharp sewing scissors to cut out the felt pinned to the pattern pieces.  Keep the scissors steady and rotate the felt as you cut. This will help you make a cleaner cut. Keep the sides of the scissors blunt to the edges of the paper pattern. Doing so can prevent the the scissors from cutting at an angle and making the resulting felt piece too narrow or too wide. Note that this first batch of felt will form the outside of your hat. Remove the pattern from your outer felt and pin both the top and side patterns to a second patch of felt. Cut these felt pieces out, as well. This felt will form the inner lining of your hat. Interfacing is a textile used on the underside of garments to help them maintain a rigid structure. Remove the pattern pieces from the second batch of felt and place them on a piece of heavy interfacing. Interfacing can be purchased at fabric or hobby stores. Pin in place, then cut the interfacing out according to the dimensions of the pattern pieces. Interfacing is necessary since it gives the hat body and structure. Without it, the entire hat would likely collapse into itself after you sew it all together. Use a heavy interfacing for best results.

Article in English: Place the skillet on the stove burner and heat it over medium-high heat. You need to use a dry heat, since the fat and oils in the walnuts will be enough to toast them. As such, you should not use non-stick cooking spray, oil, or butter in the pan. The shelled walnuts will toast best if divided into halves or quarters, but since it is easier to monitor the toasting process on the stovetop, you can also use smaller pieces if desired. Try to keep the walnuts on a single layer to promote even toasting. Stirring the walnuts allows each one to be exposed to the heat for an equal amount of time and, as a result, you will get more evenly toasted walnuts and find fewer burnt nuts. Stirring constantly is best, but you can allow the nuts to rest for brief periods as long as you still have an eye on them. The process should only take about 5 minutes, but may go even faster if you have small pieces. Once done, the walnuts will be a deeper shade of brown and will smell toasted. Immediately transfer the nuts out of the pan once done. Otherwise, they will continue to cook on the hot metal. Transfer them to a heat-resistant bowl or dish and let them cool until they reach your desired serving temperature.

Article in English: Place the three ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir them together with a wooden mixing spoon until evenly combined. Add 1 to 2 Tbsp (15 to 30 ml) of water to the flour mixture and stir to moisten. Then, add another 1/2 cup (125 ml) of water and blend it in until a soft dough forms. Note that you may have difficulty mixing the dough with a spoon after you add the 1/2 cup (125 ml) of water. If this is the case, put the spoon down and begin mixing the dough with your hands. Lightly flour a clean kitchen counter. Turn the dough out onto the counter and knead it for 2 or 3 minutes, just long enough for the dough to become smooth. If your hands stick to the dough while you knead it, sprinkle a little flour onto the surface of the dough or dust your hands with flour. Do not add too much, though, since too much flour can cause the dough to crumble. Cover the dough with a clean, damp dish towel and allow it to rest at room temperature. This dough will not rise as much as a dough with yeast in it would rise, but the resting period does still allow the dough to settle and form air pockets. Break off 2 to 3 inch (5 to 7.6 cm) portions of dough and roll them into balls. Arrange the dough on a parchment lined baking sheet, then cover them with a moist dish towel for a few minutes. A large plate would work just as well as a baking sheet here. You will not need the baking sheet to cook the bread. Instead, you only need something to place the uncooked dough on as it waits to be fried. Apply a light coating of olive oil to the balls of dough. Use your hands or a lightly oiled rolling pin to roll them out to circles with a diameter 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10 cm) long. Place the dough back on your baking sheet or plate when done rolling it out. Pour 1 inch (2.5 cm) of oil into a deep, heavy skillet. Warm it on the stove using high heat. The oil should reach a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) before you move on to the next step. If you do not have a food-safe thermometer to use for checking oil...

Article in English: Place the tips of your first two fingers on your wrist, just below your thumb (palm up).  If you are feeling your pulse using your right hand, place your fingers below your thumb (palm up), on the side of your wrist near your thumb. Press softly and you should begin to feel a pulsing sensation. One pulse is equivalent to a heartbeat. Take a clock and count the number of times your heart beats in 20 seconds. Multiply that number by 3 – and that will be your heart rate. Another way to manually check your heart rate is to place your first two fingers on the side of your lower heck, on either side of your trachea.  You should begin to feel a pulse. It is often easier to feel your pulse in your neck, rather than in your wrist. Again, count the number of beats in 20 seconds, multiply that number by 3 – and that will be your heart rate. This is because you have a small artery that runs in your thumb. That may cause you to double count your pulse. Having a normal heart rate indicates good cardiovascular health, but some variation is perfectly natural.  Normal:  Pulse rate of 60-100 beats per minute while resting. Bradycardia:  A pulse rate below 60 beats per minute while resting. Causes of bradycardia include: certain medications that slow down the heart rate (e.g. beta-blockers, sedatives), heart failure. Athletes often have a heart rate below 60 at rest because their heart is in good shape, so each beat pumps more blood through their body (as opposed to having to beat more often and pump less blood with each beat). Tachycardia:  A pulse rate higher than 100 while resting.  Causes of tachycardia include anxiety, illness (running a fever may elevate your heart rate), some medications that can elevate your heart rate (such as thyroid hormone supplements), caffeine intake, and being out of shape and overweight. Your maximum heart rate is the highest number of beats per minute that your heart can beat. The following formula will allow you to calculate your heart rate: 220 – (your age in years) = Maximum Heart rate. Your...

Article in English: Place the tissue or handkerchief over your nose and hold it there. Tissues prevent the spread of germs because you throw them away after use while handkerchiefs are more likely to spread germs, but are more environmentally friendly than tissues.  If you have the cold, flu, or another virus, it may be beneficial to use tissues to prevent the spread of germs. If you have allergies, a handkerchief may be the better option. If you don’t have tissues or a handkerchief, you can use toilet paper as an alternative. Avoid blowing your nose with coarser materials like paper towels or napkins. If you have sensitive skin, consider purchasing tissues that have lotion in them. You shouldn’t be able to breathe out of that nostril. Keep the tissue or handkerchief over your nose so that you don’t get mucus on your hands.  It's generally polite to excuse yourself from the table when you blow your nose. If you're in a public situation, consider going to the bathroom or closing your office door before blowing your nose. Blow with as little force as you possibly can. Blowing too hard could cause mucus to go up into your sinuses which could cause an infection and worsen your symptoms. If you blow and nothing comes out, do not blow again.  Remember to wipe up excess mucus on the outside of your nose when you've finished blowing. Blowing your nose too hard could also make the blood vessels in your nose more inflamed. If nothing comes out, it means that your mucus is too thick or your nose is clogged higher up. Press down on your other nostril and gently blow the mucus out the nostril you held closed before. If done properly, you’ll have properly blown your nose without infecting your sinuses.  Blowing one nostril at a time will help expel mucus easier. Throw away the tissue after you blow your nose so that you don't spread germs. Squeeze at the center of your nose and push down towards your nostrils to push the mucus out. This is an alternative to blowing your nose that will prevent you from accidentally blowing too hard. . Lather...

Article in English: Place the two brim pieces on top of each other, right sides facing in and wrong sides facing out. Pin in place. When you insert the straight pins, slide them into both layers around the shared edge. You need to use enough pins to prevent the two layers from moving around along the edge, since the edge is where you must sew the brim together to start with. Use a fabric pencil or a piece of chalk to sketch out a smaller circle in the center of the larger brim circle. This circle should be about as big around as the size of your head.  This circle will eventually become the opening for your head, which is why it needs to be the same approximate size. Use a tape measure to measure the circumference of your head to verify that the circle in the center of your brim piece matches. Usually, the inner circle will be about 6 inches (15.24 cm) in diameter. Use a sewing machine or a needle and thread to sew around the outside edge of the pieces, leaving a seam allowance of about 1/8 inch (3.176 mm).  Do not sew along the edge of the inner circle yet. When done, you should have a solid, round disk with a circle marked in the center. Remove the pins as you sew or after you finish. Use sewing scissors or shears to cut alone the outline you marked at the center of the brim. Cut from the inside of the circle, not along the outside. If you have difficulty keeping the pieces from shifting or moving around at the center, you could remedy the situation by pinning around the outside of the drawn circle before cutting that circle out. Doing so should limit the amount of movement. Pull the brim right-side out by turning it through the opening you created by cutting out the center of the brim. Iron flat, if possible, so that the material is easier to work with. Stitch up the open center of the brim using a sewing machine or needle and thread. Leave a seam allowance of 1/4 inch (6.35 mm). As before, if you find that the fabric around the center opening continues to move around, pin around the opening to restrict this movement.

Article in English: Place the warm water in a large bowl and sprinkle the yeast on top of it. Allow it to stand for 10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes somewhat foamy. If the mixture does not become foamy, it could mean that the yeast has died. Dead yeast will not be able to provide any lift for the dough, so you should discard it and start over with a new packet. Add the sugar, milk, beaten egg, salt, and flour to the bowl. Mix well to combine into a soft dough. Add the flour gradually for best results. Once you have added enough flour to form the dough, stop and do not add any more, even if you have not yet used the full amount called for in the ingredient list. Lightly flour a clean kitchen counter or working surface. Turn the dough out into the flour and knead, by hand, for 6 to 8 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic. You may also need to dust your hands with flour while kneading the dough to prevent it from sticking to your skin. Lightly oil the sides of a large mixing bowl with vegetable oil or nonstick cooking spray. Place the dough inside this bowl, and cover the whole thing with a clean, damp dish towel. Set it in a warm location and let it rise until doubled in volume. Punch the dough down using your hands. Scatter the minced garlic over it, then knead firmly to distribute the garlic throughout the dough. The garlic is only optional. If you do not wish to add it, simply punch down the dough and do not worry about any additional kneading. Break off a small ball of dough roughly 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10 cm) in diameter. Roll it between your hands until the ball becomes rounder and smoother, and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Note that you should keep at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space in between the dough when you arrange the portions on the baking sheet. The dough should have enough room to expand without the individual portions brushing into each other in the process. Cover the dough with a damp dish towel and allow it to rise for another 30...

Article in English: Place your ham cut-side up on your cutting board and examine the pink, cut surface. The ham should have three visible "seams" of connective tissue between the pink muscle. These are either white or reddish pink. Cut along one of these seams from the outer edge all the way to the center.  For best results, use a flexible meat carving knife with hollow ovals or scallops cut next to the blade edge. Some boneless hams contain significant amounts of ground meat reshaped into a ham, and may not have visible seams. In this case, carve through to the center from any point on the edge, then repeat with two more slices to divide it into three pieces. If a bone is present, cut in a close circle around it until you reach the second muscle seam. Cut outward along this seam to release the first stack of slices. The final seam will divide the remaining ham into two stacks of slices. Cut all the way around the bone in a tight circle to release them. Arrange slices on a serving platter or transfer directly to guests' plates. If the ham is large, cut the stack of slices in half before serving.

Article in English: Place your hand over the base of the orchid so your hand covers the top of the pot. Hold the pot with your other hand, and gently turn the orchid upside down into the hand that’s cradling the plant.  If the orchid is clinging to the pot, massage it out by gently wiggling it back and forth. Only cut roots or stems if you cannot gently shake the orchid loose from the pot. If you have to make any cuts, preserve as much of the root or stem as possible. While still holding the plant carefully with one hand, gently pick away as much old medium as possible with your fingers. When you’ve removed the bulk of the medium, rinse the roots under warm water to remove the remainder. Removing all the old medium will ensure that your orchid gets the most nutrients possible when you transplant it, and will make sure any bugs are destroyed. Once your orchid is clean, inspect it carefully for dead leaves, stems, roots, and pseudobulbs. Use your sterilized cutting tool to trim away any roots that are soft and brown, any leaves that are yellowing, and any pseudobulbs that are black and shrivelled.  A pseudobulb is a feature on some orchid types. It’s a bulbous growth near the base of the plant that will have a leaf growing from it.  If you're transplanting multiple orchids at once, sterilize your cutting tool in between plants by wiping it with a disinfectant or heating it with a flame. Cinnamon is a powerful fungicide that can help protect the orchid from infection and rot. Use ground cinnamon and sprinkle the ends of any roots, stems, pseudobulbs, or leaves that you trimmed off. You can also use an orchid-specific fungicide.

Article in English: Place your longhair dachshund on a comfortable spot on the floor or on a portable grooming table. You can also use a countertop or kitchen table. If you choose to be on the floor, lay out a soft, large towel to catch any hair. Remove any accessories your dog may be wearing, such as a harness or collar. If your dog will not stay still during grooming, enlist another person to help hold the dog while you groom it. You want to be able to focus on one section of the coat at a time. This will help you brush each section thoroughly and to detect any tangles or mats. Using a slicker brush, begin to brush each section of the coat. Start at the head and make your way down the dog’s body. Always brush in the direction that the hair grows. Never go against the growth pattern. As you finish the first few sections, brush down towards your dachshund’s legs. Continue brushing in the direction that the hair grows all the way down its legs. Be extra careful when brushing its tail. This hair tends to be very fine and longer than the other sections of the coat, and can become easily tangled. Check for any debris, like chips of wood or dust, before you brush it. After brushing, go through each section and gently comb the hair. This will dislodge loose hair and untangle smaller knots. Use a fine-toothed comb so you can untangle knots more easily. While you are combing, keep an eye out for any skin irritation. Dachshunds aren’t any more predisposed to have skin problems than other longhaired dogs, but they do occur. Grooming regularly will help you to notice any skin irritation or problems early on. Look for any redness, flaking, or scabbing on the skin. Daily brushing helps to remove any loose hair that can get trapped in the dog’s fur. Dachshunds have double coats, and longhaired dachshunds are more likely to become tangled and matted when they are not thoroughly brushed daily.

Article in English: Place your nuts into a large bowl. Add enough lukewarm water to completely cover the nuts, plus an extra 2 inches (5 cm) of water. Sprinkle in the salt and stir the nuts to distribute the salt.  You can soak as many nuts at a time as you like. Use a tablespoon (19 g) of salt per 4 cups of nuts that you soak.  You can also soak seeds, beans, grains, and legumes using this same method. Different nuts benefit from various soaking times, and if you're not sure, soak the nuts for 12 to 24 hours. Place the nuts in a cool, dark place for the soaking period. The soaking times for different nuts are:  12 hours for almonds and Brazil nuts 8 hours for hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts, and pine nuts 6 hours for cashews 4 hours for macadamia nuts When the nuts have soaked for their recommended times, drain the water by pouring the nuts into a strainer. Run fresh, cold water over the nuts to rinse them. When the nuts have been rinsed, lay them on a clean towel to remove excess water. Once your nuts are soaked, you can eat them as is without drying them first. But dehydrating the nuts removes the water and makes them crunchier, and many people prefer the texture of crunchy nuts. If you don’t have a dehydrator, place the nuts on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven on the lowest temperature.  Spread the nuts out on the dehydrator trays in a single layer, and arrange the trays in the dehydrator.  Turn on the dehydrator to 150 F (66 C). Dehydrate the nuts for 12 hours and check them for doneness. For crunchier nuts, dehydrate them for an additional three to 12 hours. Transfer leftover dehydrated nuts to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for two weeks. For a longer shelf-life, store the nuts in the freezer for up to two months. If you opted to not dehydrate your nuts, store them in the refrigerator and eat them within 24 hours of draining.

Article in English: Place your shoes (and laces and insoles) in a moderately lit place at room temperature to air dry. Do not put them somewhere hot (e.g. near a radiator) or in direct sunlight, as this may damage the shoes. Putting your shoes in the dryer is not advisable, as the dryer can warp the soles of your shoes.

Article in English: Plain baking soda will absorb any lingering moisture as well as unpleasant odors from your mattress. Sprinkle your entire mattress with a light layer of baking soda. Ensure the whole mattress is evenly coated. If you’re in a hurry, wait at least 30 minutes before vacuuming up the baking soda. If you have more time, you can let the baking soda sit on the mattress for up to 24 hours. Use the upholstery attachment on your vacuum, if applicable, to vacuum up all the baking soda when you’re ready. If you have a double-sided mattress that you flip on occasion, be sure to repeat the process on the other side. Sprinkle baking soda over the mattress, let it sit for at least 30 minutes, then vacuum it up with an upholstery attachment. If you’ll be away from your home for a few days, use the opportunity to air out your mattress. Strip all the sheets and bedding and allow the mattress to air out while you’re gone. Allowing sunlight into the room can kill bacteria in the mattress, so leave the shades open if possible. Not only does a waterproof mattress protector keep spills from seeping through to your mattress, it also prevents the mattress from absorbing sweat, dirt, oil, and germs! Once your mattress is clean and dry, cover it with a nontoxic, hypoallergenic, waterproof mattress protector to ensure you don’t have to worry about a wet mattress again.

Article in English: Plain, sans-serif, evenly-spaced fonts such as Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, Geneva, Verdana, Century-Gothic, and Trebuchet are all easier for a dyslexic person to read than other fonts. While some dyslexic people find larger fonts easier to read, most prefer 12 – 14 point font.  Avoid use of serif-fonts (such as Times New Roman), as serifs blur the shapes of letters. Don’t use italics to emphasize information, as this can result in all words appearing lighter and harder to read. Instead, make emphasis clear through bolding your font. If you’re a blogger, a teacher, or an employer, you can make a few simple changes to avoid causing visual distortion, such as word blurring or paling (i.e.”the wash-out effect.”) These changes are likely to benefit your standard readers as well as those with dyslexia. For example, long blocks of unbroken text aren’t easy for most people to read, but they’re virtually impossible for dyslexic readers. Use short paragraphs instead, limiting each paragraph to one idea.  You can also divide up long stretches of text with headlines, or section titles that summarize the topic of each section. Avoid a plain white background, as it can make font harder to focus on. Dark-colored text on light-colored background is easier to read. Avoid green, red or pink font as these are likely to be harder to read for most dyslexics. Make sure your paper is thick enough so that you cannot see the other printed side through the page. Use matte paper rather than glossy, which can reflect the light and contribute to visual stress.  Avoid digital print processing which can result in a shinier finish. Experiment with different colored paper to find the shade that the dyslexic person is most able to read successfully. Avoid lengthy detailed explanations. Use short sentences written in a direct style, and be concise. Try not to use acronyms or overly technical language.  Where possible, include visual diagrams, pictures and flowcharts. Use lists of bullet points, or numbered lists, rather than dense paragraphs.

Article in English: Plan a picnic or another casual, daytime activity that would enable you to get to know her family. Let her know that you want to invite them because you know how important they are to her. For example, you could say, “I love how close you are with your mom. Does she want to come hiking with us on Sunday?” Grab dinner and a movie or play putt-putt golf with her friend and their significant other. If you don’t know them well enough to arrange it, show interest by suggesting it to her.  For example, you could say, “There’s a great new pizza place by my office. Do Suzy and John want to join us for a pie on Saturday night?” It’s best to invite a longstanding couple and your Cancer woman on a double-date. That way, she won’t feel guarded meeting a friend’s significant other for the first time. Tell her you know how much she loves her friends and family when she has to change plans to accommodate their needs. Show concern for the wellbeing of people who are important to her by asking about them after the fact. For example, if she bails on a date to take her brother to the doctor, you could say, “No problem at all. Pizza can happen anytime. Is he okay? What can I do for you both? Flip through family photo albums with her and ask about her heritage. This is a great time to ask her questions about beloved family members or simply let her tell stories from when she was a kid. You could say, “Is that a picture of you and your Grandma Betty? It sounds like she was an amazing woman. What’s your favorite memory together?” Show her you’re willing to bring her into your life by letting her spend time with your family and friends. Arrange a fun activity that will let her shine. For example, if your Cancer woman is a great artist, you could all do a sip-and-paint night at a local art studio with your sister. Hold back critiques or feedback about friends and family of hers you don’t know well. If you do criticize someone important to her, do so only to show her you are on her side and want to support her. Try to show empathy...

Article in English: Plan your mental health day during a slow time at work.  Make sure your day off doesn’t bring stress on others. Check the calendar and your schedule to ensure your day off works for everyone. Pick a Friday or a Monday if you don’t work during the week-end. Three days without working can do miracles. Instead of saying that you are stressed, just tell your boss that you have a few important personal appointments or matters to address and would like the day off from work.  Be calm and confident in your approach and reassure him/her that you will have your work covered and/or deadlines met in time. Don’t pretend to be sick. If your boss doesn’t believe you, you might be in trouble. Don’t tell co-workers or clients that you need a mental health day. Some people are unfortunately intolerant toward health issues. Find a co-worker to back you up if there is an emergency at work and you’re needed. Consult with human resources to figure out how to categorize your day off.  In some cases, the company may have actual mental health days built into your benefits - another reason why you should not feel guilty. You might want to make the day off about you and only you. It shouldn’t be about fetching the little one at school or buying nappies. Discuss the planning in advance and make sure that everybody will respect your peace and quiet.  Offer to do more for the household before or after your day off to compensate. The key is respect and understanding. Tell your family not to call you on your mental health day, except in case of emergency. If you want, it’s also perfectly fine to spend your day with your family. It’s all about what you want! You want to make sure that your day off work is as relaxing as possible. A bit of preparation will help considerably. Make sure that you have all you need in advance. You don’t want to get stuck in a line at the supermarket’s cashier on your day off.  Make a list the day before and go buy what you need. Buy the essential, such as food and drinks, but don’t forget things that might make...

Article in English: Plan your outing for an evening with little or no cloud cover. Most of the stars that comprise the Little Dipper are quite dim, and even a smattering of clouds could be enough to cover it up completely.  Check your local weekly forecast to get an idea of what the weather will be like around the time of your stargazing adventure. The farther in advance you’re able to plan, the better. Ideally, you should wait until the moon is in a waning phase—if it’s glowing too brightly, its radiant light may make the Little Dipper appear less distinct. Your best bet is to set out for a nearby rural or undeveloped area, if you have one in your area. If there are no good fields or clearings around, head to a corner of your town or city that’s as far away from the most heavily concentrated sources light as you can get.  Streetlamps, porch lights, and other forms of electrical illumination give off ambient light, which can “bleed” into the night sky and make heavenly bodies hazy or even invisible.  Since the Little Dipper is already so faint, too much light pollution could make it impossible to catch a glimpse. The Little Dipper is so small and unassuming compared to some more impressive star patterns that a tall structure could block it from view. Picking out an open spot with few potential obstacles will improve your chances of successfully locating the modest grouping of stars. Even things like tree telephone poles and power lines could be distracting enough to break your line of sight or throw off your concentration. The position of the Little Dipper varies slightly based on the time of year. The star cluster is at its highest point in the sky from around late March to the end of September. Because of this, the warmer months tend to be the best time to turn your eyes skyward.  The movement of the Earth plays a big part in the way stars appear from ground level. Since the planet rotates on an axis, your geographic location in relation to the Little Dipper will change with the seasons, making it look higher or lower.  While...

Article in English: Plantain leaves come from flat, long, narrow-leafed plants that grow nearly everywhere, including most people’s backyards. There are many different varieties, but they all have vertical veins in the leaves. Some people think they are weeds, but they have many medicinal properties. They can be used directly on wounds to protect the wound and promoting healing. The leaves also have antibiotic properties.  Most people don’t realize the plant in the backyard is plantain, mainly because there is another food called a plantain, which is a fruit like a banana. Plantain leaves are herbs and different from the cooking plantain, which is a fruit.  If you can’t find plantain leaves outside to pick, you can order dried plantain leaves and herbs from natural retailers. You can also buy pre-made ointments and salves made with plantain. Pick 10 fresh plantain leaves. Slowly boil the leaves in about an inch of water until the leaves are soft. Remove the plantain leaves and mash them using the back of a spoon. Allow the mash to cool.  After the mixture has cooled, add a few drops of an oil of your choice. Good choices include almond oil, castor oil, or mineral oil. You can use dried plantain herbs, mix it with an oil, and boil the leaves to make a paste. When you have finished making the paste, smooth it over the scabs. Then, cover the area with gauze or a bandaid. You can leave it on as long as you like. Put it on overnight and wash it off in the morning, or put it on and leave it until you shower. If your acne scabs are on your face, apply the paste to the affected areas two to four times a day. Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse the paste off with warm water and pat your face dry.

Article in English: Playing games together can be a relaxing way to hang out while keeping things moving. Play cards, board games, or games that don't require any supplies. Go for board games you both enjoy, or try out a new one neither of you knows. Figuring out the rules of a new game together is part of the fun.  If you're playing a competitive game, come up with flirty penalties and prizes. The winner should win something thrilling. Freak each other out with occult practices. Play with a Ouija board, or look up an ancient spell and try to cast it.  Play getting-to-know-you games. Even if you've been dating forever, there is always more to learn about a partner. Try two truths and a lie—you each take a turn saying two true things and one made-up thing, then try to guess one another's lie. Answer questions and fall in love again. Take turns answering questions designed by psychologist Arthur Aron to get you both to open up.  Put a spell on her. Take turns tracing short messages on each other's skin. Try to guess what is being spelled.  Play interactive video games, like Guitar Hero, Just Dance, and Wii Resort. If you don't already cook together, figuring out how to do so can be fun and rewarding. If you cook together all the time, take a novel approach to it. Make up a new recipe collaboratively based on random ingredients you have at home, or challenge one another to make something delicious based on ingredients the other partner picks out. Have a competition for who can make the best meal with the ingredients on hand, and blindfold each other for the taste test (even though you'll recognize your own dish, it'll be cute).  Try to recreate dishes you enjoyed together at a restaurant. If you bicker when you try to cook together, plan an elaborate meal collaboratively but split up the cooking. One of you can make the main and a salad, while the other can provide dessert, drinks, and a side. Hunt down your favorite childhood cartoons online. Try to remember the weirdest favorites you had.

Article in English: Playing with your puppy is a great way to show her you love her. Keeping her active through games will keep her physically and mentally healthy as she grows into an adult. A walk may not seem like a game at first, but you can turn it into one by letting your puppy explore her environment during the walk.  Be sure your puppy has been fully vaccinated before you take her for a walk in public places or allow her to interact with other dogs. Let your puppy occasionally stop and smell flowers during your walk.  Introduce your puppy to new people and dogs during the walk. Carry some treats with you — the person to whom you introduce your puppy can give your puppy treats to help establish a friendly relationship with her.  Encourage your puppy to walk up on the curb. She can have fun balancing on the curb versus walking in the street or on the sidewalk. Practicing basic commands during your walk, such as "sit" and "stay," can help reinforce her training. Your puppy will love playing hide and seek. One way to play this is to hide yourself. Have a friend stand with your puppy as you hide, then call your puppy’s name every few seconds until he finds you. Reward your puppy with treats and verbal praise when he finds you.  If you have been teaching your puppy to come when called, hiding yourself is a good way to practice this command.  You can also hide his favorite toys. Be aware that your puppy may become frustrated if he is not able to find his toy, which may cause him not to like the game.  Hide the toy in easy-to-find places (behind the couch, under a chair) until your puppy becomes better at using his nose to find items. Playing fetch with your puppy is a good way to exercise her, and teaches her how to focus on you and follow your instructions. A small toy or a soft doll are good fetching toys, since your puppy would be able to easily grab and retrieve them.  Do not play fetch with sticks. Sticks could injure your puppy’s mouth, or cause digestive problems if she swallows pieces of the wood.  If your puppy does...

Article in English: Plucking is generally painful, so be aware of that when you begin. If you pluck partway along the hair it will break rather than pluck cleanly out. Be cautious that you don’t start plucking hairs that are part of the main shape of your eyebrow; there’s a risk of over-plucking if you get caught up in it. “Less is more” when it comes to tweezing for men. The goal is not to create a clean outline, but instead to just remove the stray hairs that really stand out. Use the comb to line your eyebrows up as they usually grow, outward toward your temples. Pluck hairs whose root is clearly past the end of the main portion of the eyebrow. Only pluck hairs that grow alone, separate from the rest of the eyebrow. If your eyebrows tend to meet in the middle, you may want to reduce this extra growth. Start plucking at the center and work outward toward one eyebrow first and then toward the other. It is personal preference how much you want to pluck, but less is usually better.  Use your thumb as a guide for how far apart your eyebrows should be. Place your thumb directly centered between your eyebrows and pluck the hairs that fall under your thumb. If you over-pluck your eyebrows, you’ll start to affect the natural shape, which is not usually what guys want to do. With your tweezers still in hand, look for hairs that are growing significantly above the main eyebrow. Pluck those strays. You’ll also want to look below the eyebrow, toward your eyelid. Pluck these hairs as well.

Article in English: Plug in your hair dryer and put it on the hot setting. Hold the hair dryer a couple of inches away from the decal and start by keeping it aimed at the center for a few seconds. Then, slowly move to the other parts of the decal. Continue this for several seconds until the decal is warm to the touch. After you’ve put the hair dryer away, it may be a good idea to apply a safe oil or alcohol-based substance to further influence the decal’s edges. Gently rub the substance on the corners. Use your fingernail, a rubber spatula, or and angled old credit card to carefully peel or scrape away the decal. If there is a clear weak spot on your decal, make sure to start removal there. Unless you’re using it to remove a decal from a window, don’t use a razor blade. When not used extremely carefully, a razor blade may create permanent scratches to your painted surfaces.

Article in English: Plug in your machine and place it somewhere that will allow you to enough space to move your project around freely. Program your machine so that it will produce the size and shape monogram you want.  In order to create a monogram with a sewing machine, it will need to be one that has an embroidery function. Many modern sewing machines have integrated advanced electronics that allow you to embroider preset designs, most of which include monogram motifs. Follow your machines instructions on how to choose which design you will use and how big it will be. Don't forget to thread your sewing machine with the color thread that you would like to use. The color should go nicely with the color of the fabric you are monogramming. Mark the center point of where your monogram will go with tailor's chalk or any fabric marking tool. It is best to make a vertical line and a horizontal line coming out of the center point of where your design will go.  This will allow you to line up your embroidery hoop in the correct position. Remember that you will need enough room around your design so that your machine's embroidery hoop will fit around it, with your design in the center. If you are worried about space, measure your hoop or place it on the fabric when deciding where your design will go. In many cases, the position of the design will be determined by where the hoop will fit. Make sure the center lines you drew on your fabric are lined up with the center marks on your machine's embroidery hoop. This will make sure that the machine embroiders your monogram in the right spot. You will need to place a piece of stabilizer under your fabric inside the hoop. The piece should be a bit larger than the hoop, so that it covers the whole underside of your fabric. Stabilizer supports your fabric while being sew by your machine, making it sturdy enough to withstand machine embroidery. Don't worry, once your monogram in sewn the stabilizer can easily be cut, washed, or torn away (depending on the type of stabilizer you use)! Your machine's...
