Article in English: Self educating yourself in religion is an important way to understanding the deepest beliefs and feelings of humanity. Aim to learn all that you can about every religion and show all faiths respect. Research unearths many answers but many people do not have the patience or tenacity to be good researchers. This skill is a great one to develop, as it will empower you to find out many things, from the simplest (such as what time the library stays open until on the weekends) to the most complex (why do stars die?). But all the in between stuff matters too, the things that make the wheels of everyday life turn, such as resolving neighbor disputes over property lines, knowing how to get the local government to fix broken playground equipment and learning how to get an audience with your government representative. Knowing how to research the answers will give you a lot of handy answers to those questions that the curiosity you've been asked to cultivate with bring forth. When researching or finding out something new, if you ever have the question 'why' or something related to that to a particular subject, then search up on it.

Article in English: Self-closing doors include spring-loaded or hydraulic-closing doors. Common in most residential houses for the garage access door, this presents a set of problems when being approached from the non-hinge side. If the door opens toward you (you are on the hinge-side of the door), open the door and either use your shoulder or your foot to push it more open as you clear the room. Depending on the speed at which the door closes, you may have time to move to the opposite side of the doorway before you enter. This is probably your best option.  If you can, move to the opposite side before you enter. This gives you a brief moment to very quickly scan the room for any obvious potential targets. If you are unable to step to the opposite side of the doorway, you must zig-zag into the room. Entering will take some quick thought and adaptation. You must be quick on your feet; the door may automatically close or close faster than you're prepared for.  You must quickly commit to entering; this is the only way to retain any element of surprise you may have. The fatal funnel becomes many times more deadly if you allow the door to close before you go through it; now an intruder on the other side of the door knows you must approach that door again to open it. Use movement to your advantage.  During high stress encounters, you and your adversary will likely have tunnel vision.  Simply zig-zagging as you enter the room may cause you to completely "disappear" for a second or two. The door will cover the corner to your back temporarily. If you see this corner is clear before the door has almost finished closing, you may have time for a quick scan of the room, but your priority is the corner behind the door.  Also be aware that many self-closing doors will slam loudly when they shut. Be patient and maybe spend a minute or more waiting in that room to see if someone comes looking for you.

Подойдите к закрытой двери со стороны ее ручки. Если дверь открывается наружу, а вы стоите с противоположной стороны от петель, с силой толкните дверь, чтобы она открылась как можно шире. Подойдите к открытой двери со стороны ее ручки и быстро войдите в комнату, так как дверь может автоматически закрыться. Быстро осмотрите угол, к которому вы идете, пока дверь еще не закрылась.

Article in English: Self-defense is much more than just fighting back. It encompasses skills relating to becoming more aware of your surroundings, considering your options when in danger, practicing assertiveness, and attempting to de-escalate a potentially threatening situation. In reality, fighting back may actually make this guy more angry and result in you getting hurt. Sign up for a local self-defense class in which you can learn how to deflect violence and protect yourself in such situations. In a tight situation, your ultimate goal is to get to safety. If you have no choice but to use physical violence, aim for the body parts in which you can inflict the most damage - and, therefore, have time to run away. Try to jab, punch, or kick the attacker in the eyes, nose, throat, crotch or knees. Using alcohol or drugs in situations with people who you are not totally comfortable can leave you in a compromising position. Your defenses are down at these times, and you are less likely to be able to read your environment and anticipate threats. If you are just hanging out or beginning to date a new person, keep alcohol and drugs off the table. A guy who does not want to take no for an answer wants to be in control. If alcohol and drugs are in the picture, you may mistakenly be giving this person more control to potentially drug you or coerce you into sex or other activities. Many social media profiles display phone numbers and emails, which may be an opening for a creep to contact you. In the future, change your privacy settings so that your personal information is displayed only to those you trust (or no one at all). Also, be mindful of what you are posting online. Someone who means you harm has an easier time of locating you if you regularly tag yourself at different locations. If you are meeting a new guy for a blind date, choose to go somewhere public - and meet him at the location; don't give him your home address. Make sure someone else knows where you are at all times. If you can, try to set up a group or double date so that...

Article in English: Send her thoughtful images or things that align with her interests. If she’s into cats, for example, send her a cute cat sticker. Don’t use profanity or leave off-color jokes on her wall.  Research has shown that it can be difficult to express or read jokes through internet communication.  That said, it’s best not to push the envelop too much with jokes that can be misinterpreted as offensive or off-putting. Politics and religion can be great topics to talk about, but not necessarily when you’re just getting to know someone and trying to get them to like you. Leave these kinds of polarizing topics for a later date. Stay in the loop with things that she posts and give some them the thumbs up.  Leave thoughtful and complimentary comments, especially when she knew photos of herself. Don’t overdo it though and “like” everything she posts, you don’t want to look too eager. Use invite features to let her know when fun stuff is happening; it’s a way of  inviting her to hang out with you without having to take the full plunge of asking her out on a “date.” That will be the next step once you're ready to meet outside of Facebook!

Article in English: Separation anxiety can take various forms in a dog, but the most common signs of separation anxiety are destroying the house/apartment and barking incessantly. These behaviors are typically only engaged in when the dog's owner is at work or otherwise out of the house, and if the dog is not destructive, some owners may not even be aware that their dogs have separation anxiety. Common signs of separation anxiety to look out for include:  following you from room to room, no matter how briefly you are gone  shaking, panting, or crying when you get ready to leave for the day  urinating or defecating indoors while you're not home  chewing household objects when you're not home  scratching or "digging" at the floor, walls, or doors when left alone  possible complaints from neighbors about barking or howling when left at home alone Counterconditioning is a common treatment method for dogs that typically involves training the dog to associate something fearful with a reward. In the case of separation anxiety, instead of fearing someone or something, the dog fears being left alone. To counter condition  separation anxiety, you'll need to train your dog to associate being left alone with something the dog enjoys (like treats).  Whenever you leave the house, try giving your dog a puzzle toy stuffed with food. Something hollow that can be stuffed with treats, spray cheese, or low-fat peanut butter will keep your dog occupied for at least 20 to 30 minutes, which may be long enough for her to forget that she was afraid of you leaving.  When you get home, remove or hide the puzzle toy(s) so that your dog becomes conditioned to only having access when you're out of the house.  Be aware that counterconditioning typically only works for mild cases of separation anxiety. Though puzzle toys will certainly be enjoyed by your dog no matter how severe her condition, you may need to resort to stronger approaches if your dog suffers from moderate to severe anxiety. If your dog has moderate to severe separation anxiety, she most likely...

Article in English: Serious complications can result from an untreated ear infection. If your ear is sore, red, or oozing pus, make an appointment with your primary care physician.  An infected ear piercing may be red or swollen around the site. It may feel sore, throbbing, or warm to the touch. Any discharge or pus from a piercing should be checked out by a doctor. The pus may be yellow or white in color. If you have a fever, see a doctor immediately. This is a much more serious sign of infection. Infections usually develop within 2-4 weeks after the initial piercing, although it is possible to develop an infection even years after getting your ears pierced. Removing the piercing can interfere with healing or cause an abscess to form. Instead, leave the piercing in your ear until you see your doctor.  Avoid touching, twisting, or playing with the earring while it is still in your ear. Your doctor will tell you if you can leave the piercing in or not. If your doctor decides that you need to remove the piercing, they will remove it for you. Do not put earrings back into your ear until you have your doctor's approval. Your doctor may prescribe a cream or recommend an over-the-counter brand. Apply this to the infected site according to your doctor’s instructions. Some over-the-counter ointments or creams you can use include Neosporin, bacitracin, or Polysporin. If you have a fever or if your infection is severe, your doctor may prescribe an oral antibiotic pill instead. Take the pill according to your doctor’s instructions. Remember to take the full course of antibiotics, even if your infection seems to go away. Pills are usually needed if you have a cartilage piercing that has become infected. An abscess is a wound with a large build-up of pus. If you have an abscess, your doctor will drain the wound. This is an outpatient procedure that may be done on the same day as your first visit. Your doctor may apply a warm compress to your ear to drain the abscess or they may make an incision in the abscess. Cartilage piercings are riskier...

Summary in Russian:

Если вы подозреваете, что у вас инфекция, как можно скорее обратитесь к врачу. Оставьте сережку в ухе, если только врач не скажет вынуть ее. В случае легкой инфекции мочки уха наносите на нее антибактериальный крем. При более серьезной инфекции принимайте рецептурные таблетки. При образовании абсцесса его следует осушить. При острой инфекции хряща может потребоваться хирургическая операция.


Article in English: Serious symptoms include blood in your urine, fever or chills, changes in skin color, severe pain in your back or side, vomiting, or a burning sensation when you urinate. If you're waiting for a smaller stone to pass, call your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.  If you haven't seen a doctor or haven't been diagnosed with kidney stones, seek medical attention if you experience these symptoms. Doctors take ultrasounds or x-rays to find kidney stones. If they determine a stone is too large to pass on its own, they'll recommend a treatment method based on the stone's size and location. Your doctor might prescribe medications that help break down and remove the substance that's causing the stones. For instance, potassium citrate is used to manage calcium stones, which are the most common. For uric acid stones, the drug allopurinol helps lower levels of uric acid in the body. Side effects vary and may include upset stomach, diarrhea, nausea, and drowsiness. Let your doctor know if any side effects are persistent or severe. Digestive disorders, gout, kidney disease, obesity, and some medications can contribute to kidney stones. In order to lower your risk of future stones, consult your doctor about treating an underlying condition, making dietary changes, or switching medications. For struvite stones, which are caused by infections, your doctor will likely prescribe an antibiotic. Take any medication as directed, and don't stop taking your medicine without consulting your doctor. Lithotripsy, or shock wave therapy, is used to treat most large kidney stones that are located in the kidneys or upper urinary tract. A machine sends high-pressure sound waves through the body, which break large stones into smaller pieces. These pieces can then be passed when you go to the bathroom.  You'll be given medication to help you relax or fall asleep during the procedure. It takes about an hour, and you'll spend about 2 hours in recovery. Most people go home on the same day as the procedure. Rest for 1 to 2 days...

Article in English: Serve the fried rice in bowls or on plates.  You may want to garnish the dish with some toasted sesame seeds or green onions and serve with a sauce such as soy or yum yum sauce. Serve while the rice is still hot.  If reheating leftovers is necessary, be sure to do so in the pan or wok, not in the microwave.

Article in English: Sesame seeds are a staple of cooking in cuisines worldwide, from Korea to Lebanon. Sprinkle the toasted seeds on just about any vegetable dish, salad, rice dish, or dessert.  Optionally, grind the seeds in a food processor, liquidizer, or mortar and pestle if you prefer the less crunchy powder, or if you want to blend the seeds into a smoothie. You can make your own quick seasonings by mixing sugar, salt, or black pepper into your sesame seeds. . The only other ingredient you need is vegetable oil. Olive oil is a traditional choice that adds its own rich flavor, but you can use sesame oil or canola oil instead for a stronger sesame taste. Simply put the toasted seeds in a food processor and blend one spoonful of oil at a time, until the consistency is smooth but not runny. Take the next step and turn the tahini into hummus. Toasted sesame adds a great flavor to cookies, and can be safely added to gluten-free recipes. In many parts of the world, toasted sesame seeds are cooked with butter and sugar or honey to make sticky candies. Try adding a pinch to each homemade falafel patty, tossing a spoonful in a few minutes before you finish a stir fry, or mixing it into salad dressing.

Article in English: Set 2 wooden sticks into the ground 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) from the edge of your flower bed or walkway. Then, tie a piece of string to each stick to form a straight line that will become the edge.  Setting the line before you start edging the lawn will keep your work neater. You can also try to edge by eye, but it may look sloppy. If the edge is curvy, as could be the case with a flower bed, using lawn spray paint is a better idea than using multiple sticks and strings. Shake the can of spray paint and make an edge 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) from the edge of your flower bed or walkway. Try to stay as parallel with the edge of the lawn as you can with the paint. Place the shovel on a 90-degree angle along the edge that you marked out. Make sure that the shovel lines up with the line that you created before you push down. Push the shovel 2 inches (5.1 cm) into the turf. Once the shovel is in the ground, press down on the top handle to push up the dirt and free the grass. 2 inches (5.1 cm) is a good depth to set your edge and will prevent you from cutting into wires or pipes. Move down the line with the shovel, continuing to dig 2 inches (5.1 cm) into the turf. When you reach the end of the line, use your shovel to dig up the freed grass and remove it from the area. You should now have a straight edge running parallel to your walkway or flower bed. Sweep around the edge you created to remove excess dirt and grass that you pulled up while digging. If you want an even cleaner look, you can use a lawn trimmer to further clean up the edge.  You can maintain the look of your edge with a shovel alone. You should clean your lawn’s edges every 2 weeks to keep them looking neat.

Article in English: Set a fresh, young coconut on a hard, flat surface in your kitchen. Hold it in place with one hand, and use a butcher knife to make cuts in a circular shape around its eye. The easiest way to do this is to strike the coconut, as you would with a machete, in the same place until a deep enough cut is made. Continue to do this until you've cut a circular lid that can be lifted away from the coconut.  Use a very sharp knife to do this job. A blunt knife could slip and cut your hand. Another method for opening a coconut is to wrap the coconut in a kitchen towel and set it on a hard surface. Use a rolling pin or a hammer to strike the coconut in the middle, so that it cracks in half. If you use this method, drill a hole in the coconut first, drain out the coconut water, and set it aside. Smell the coconut and inspect the meat. If the coconut smells good and the meat looks moist and white, it's fine to use. Discard the coconut if it smells off or if the meat is dried out or discolored. Pour it straight from the coconut into a blender. Use a spoon to scoop the meat from the inside of the coconut.  Try to get every last bit of white meat from the walls of the coconut, and don't forget to scrape it off of the lid, too. The meat should have a texture similar to a dense melon and easily curl against the spoon. Place the scraped meat into the blender. Put a lid on the blender and pulse it on high until the coconut water and meat are fully combined and smooth. At this point you may either strain the solids from the coconut milk or leave them as part of the mixture. Since fresh coconut meat is soft, many enjoy it in a glass of coconut milk, the way some like orange juice with pulp mixed in. Pour the fresh coconut milk into a jar. Put a lid on the jar and keep the milk in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.

Article in English: Set a heavy skillet on the stove and turn the burner on while you get the salmon out of the freezer. Remove it from the packaging. Run cold water in the sink and hold the fillets under the tap until pieces of ice melt off of the fish. You can use a nonstick or cast-iron skillet. Lay the salmon into the hot skillet so they're flesh-side down. Keep the lid off of the skillet and cook the salmon over medium-high heat until the flesh has browned. You can carefully shake the pan a few times as the salmon cooks to loosen the salmon and keep it from sticking. Set the lid on the skillet so it traps moisture and prevents the fish from drying out. Then, turn the burner down to medium and cook the fish until it's flaky in the center. To ensure the fish is done, you can insert an instant-read thermometer to see if the fish reaches 145 °F (63 °C). Move the fillets to serving plates and get out side dishes while the fish rests. Try serving the pan-seared salmon with stir-fried vegetables, roasted potatoes, or wild rice. Refrigerate leftover salmon in an airtight container. You can store the fish for up to 3 to 4 days.

Article in English: Set a layer of paper towels over the stain, and firmly press the paper towel onto the carpet. Don’t scrub the carpet since it could work the urine deeper into the pad underneath. Keep dabbing the carpet until it’s as dry as you can get it.  Enzymatic cleaners work best on fresh stains. Step on the paper towel to apply more pressure and absorb more liquid. Get a bottle of commercial enzymatic cleaner from your local supermarket. Hold the bottle 3–4 in (7.6–10.2 cm) from the stain and spray it until the carpet is saturated completely. Many pet stores carry enzymatic cleaners specifically made for dog urine. Look on the bottle to see how long the enzymatic cleaner takes to work, which is usually up to 24 hours. Let the cleaner soak and absorb into the carpet so it can eliminate the odor completely. Once the time listed on the packaging passes, sniff your carpet to see if still smells. If the carpet still smells, you may need to shampoo your carpet.

Article in English: Set a limit on how many squares of chocolate you're allowed per treat portion and stick to that. This can allow you avoid guilt, which can trigger stress eating of diet-unfriendly foods.  Usually one to two squares is enough per treat time. Whether you treat yourself daily or every few days depends on your diet's treat allowance and your self-discipline at eating only one to two pieces at a time. Consider dosing out and packaging up your treat allowance ahead of time.  Break up a dark chocolate bar into one or two square segments, then bag them individually.  Perhaps even mark the day for each and a motivational message, if that will help keep you going with your diet plan. When you do include chocolate as part of your slimming regimen, appreciate its taste fully. To this end, it is recommended that you do the following:  Set aside the chocolate treat time for the end of the meal. Your stomach will already be full from eating the meal, so there's less danger of exceeding your limit. Really focus on tasting the chocolate, not simply crunching it into pieces and swallowing it. Take your time, let it melt on your tongue and savor very small bites of each square so that eating it is a slow but mindful process.  See also How to Taste Dark Chocolate. Good quality chocolate can be a form of relaxation or even meditation when eaten slowly. Enjoy the chocolate squares in place of a fattening dessert that you might once have had. For example, two squares of quality dark chocolate can replace a slice of cake or pudding. Have some of your dietary allowance of fruit with the chocolate. Make sure it complements the taste, such as a few slices of mandarin orange with orange flavored dark chocolate. At snack time, this can be a tasty way to have a morsel of chocolate and avoid snacking on something unhealthy.  Coffee and chocolate are often considered a natural combination, but remember that if you use milk, you risk neutralizing the beneficial antioxidants. Tea, on the other hand, contains additional flavonoids and can pair...

Article in English: Set one of the halves on a microwave-safe dish, and set the other half aside. Consider placing a paper towel on the plate beneath the graham cracker. It will absorb any moisture that forms and prevent your graham cracker from becoming soggy. Set it flat-side down, so that it does not roll off the graham cracker. After about 10 to 12 seconds, the marshmallow will begin to poof up. The marshmallow will be soft and gooey inside, but it will not be toasted or golden-brown. Be sure to watch the marshmallow closely—it can get hard in a short amount of time. You may need to take the marshmallow out of your microwave in less than 10 seconds. Once the marshmallow is gooey and soft, take the plate out of the microwave; use a potholder if necessary. Place a piece of chocolate on top of the marshmallow. The piece of chocolate should be roughly the same size as the graham cracker. Press the remaining graham cracker half on top of the chocolate. Wait a few seconds for the chocolate to melt, then serve.

Article in English: Set out a drinking glass, jar, or deep bowl with a large opening and pour in 3–4 inches (7.6–10.2 cm) of pure acetone. The container needs to be full enough to completely submerge multiple pieces of plastic. Choose a container that you don’t mind ruining in case you have trouble removing every last trace of plastic when your project is finished.  It’s critical that whatever container you use be made of a material like glass or ceramic. You want it to dissolve the plastic you’ll be using for, not the cup that’s holding it. Acetone is a hazardous liquid, it gives off powerful fumes, so be sure to work somewhere with good ventilation. Stir the pieces with a toothpick to help them settle. The should be totally immersed at the bottom of the container. If necessary, add another splash of acetone to cover the tops of pieces with irregular dimensions.  For a more natural looking repair job, try to find plastic in the same color as the item you're repairing. Avoid touching the acetone. It can cause mild irritation if it comes into contact with your skin. As it soaks in the acetone, it will slowly break down to form a thick, goopy slurry. The exact amount of time this takes will vary depending on the type of plastic you’re working with and how much you’re melting down. Play it safe and let it sit for at least 8-12 hours.  Cutting or breaking the plastic into smaller pieces may help speed things along. The more surface area it has, the faster the acetone will act on it.  The slurry should have a smooth, creamy consistency and be free of lumps or chunks before you attempt to use it to weld other pieces together. Do not dispose of the excess acetone in a sink or toilet bowl, it must be taken to a hazardous chemical disposal site. Put the excess acetone in a glass jar with a tightly sealing cap and dispose of it at an approved hazardous chemical disposal site. Drain the liquid into a glass jar so that only the plastic slurry remains. You’ll use this as a filler to make your repairs. It’s okay if there are traces amounts of...

Article in English: Set the buttered brick down onto a prepared bed of mortar. The buttered end should face the brick previously set on the bed.  If using frogged (indented) or perforated bricks, the frogged or perforated side of each brick should face up when you set it. Note that the first brick in any row will not be buttered. Only subsequent bricks are buttered within each row. Also not that there should be a layer of mortar on top of the foundation or the previous row of bricks. The bottom of your buttered brick will need to be set into this previously applied mortar. Place the brick onto the mortar bed so that the buttered end is directly next to the end of the preceding brick. Try to get the brick as close as possible without scraping off any of the mortar. Shift your hand to the non-buttered end of the brick, then push the brick inward toward the end of the preceding brick.  Continue pushing until the buttered mortar smashes against the side of the other brick. The mortar should push out at the joining side and top of the joint. When done, the mortar joint should be about 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) thick. Slide the edge of the trowel head along the bottom and end joints of the newly set brick.   Use the excess mortar to butter the next brick. If you prepared the right amount of mortar when buttering the first brick, you should have enough to butter three standard bricks before you'll need to load the trowel with additional mortar. You shouldn't need to snap the excess mortar onto the trowel. The pressure used in scraping the excess mortar onto the trowel should be enough to securely adhere it. Any excess mortar you scrape away after setting the last brick of a row should be slapped over the end joints of subsequent bricks. Use the back and edge of the trowel head to smooth the excess into those joints and onto the tops of the bricks. After setting each brick, tap on sides and top of the brick with the end of the trowel handle to help settle the brick in place.  This action should also help level the bricks. Note that the first...

Article in English: Set the oven to 425 °F (218 °C) and allow it to reach that temperature as you wash and prepare the asparagus. Roasting typically occurs at a higher temperature than regular baking, which is why you set the oven so high. Place the asparagus in the oven and roast it for up to 20 minutes. Flip the asparagus after 10 minutes using tongs or a spatula. The asparagus is ready when it’s still slightly crisp but tender enough to be pierced with a fork or knife. Remove the cooked asparagus from the oven. Use tongs to transfer it to a serving dish. If you like, you can finish the asparagus with a pat of butter, some fresh herbs, a squeeze of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar, or Parmesan cheese. The asparagus can be eaten fresh out of the oven, or you can leave it to cool down before digging in. Leftover asparagus can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a few days.

Article in English: Set the pot on the stove and keep an eye on it at all times. Be sure to stir it from time to time so that the milk does not scorch. Use your thermometer to check the temperature. The goat's milk must be pasteurized. If your bottle says "raw" or "non-pasteurized," you will need to pasteurize it. Click here to learn how to do this. Fill the bottom pot with 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) of water. Place the larger pot on top and move everything to the stove. If you do not have a double boiler, you can make your own by filling a large pot with 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) of water, and placing another pot or glass bowl on top of it. The bottom of the upper pot or bowl should not be touching the water. Argan, avocado, coconut, jojoba, or sweet almond oil are all great options. You can use just one oil, or a combination, so long as you end up with 2.7 ounces (79.85 milliliters). For example, you can use 1.7 ounce (50.28) sweet almond oil and 1 ounce (29.57 milliliters) avocado oil. You can also use avocado butter or cocoa butter instead of shea butter. This will make it easier to mix the rest of the ingredients into them. Be sure to stir the oils and butters from time to time so that they melt evenly. Stearic acid is used by soap makers to help thicken lotions. If you want a thicker lotion, add the stearic acid. You can purchase both ingredients online at a soap making supply shop. You will need to blend for about two to five minutes. Each preservative has a different temperature requirement. Make sure that the temperature of the lotion falls within the recommended parameters of the preservative. Preservatives are not absolutely necessary, but they will make your lotion last longer. You will also be able to keep your lotion on the shelf. If you do not add preservatives, you will need to store your lotion in the fridge and use it within two weeks.  The most common preservatives used by soap and lotion markers are: Germall Powder, Optiphen, and Phenonip. You can purchase them online from soap...

Article in English: Set the protractor’s origin hole over the line's given point. Align the protractor so that its base line sits exactly over the given line.  The origin hole is the small hole at the bottom-center of the protractor. The base line is the line on the bottom of the protractor marking 180/0 degrees. This is the line measurement at the very top of the protractor. Two perpendicular lines form a 90-degree, or right, angle. Thus, to draw a perpendicular line, you need to draw a 90-degree angle. Use the straightedge of the protractor to ensure that the line is straight. This line is perpendicular to the original line, through the given point on the line.

Article in English: Set the skillet on the stove and heat it for several minutes over medium heat. Note that you can use 2 tsp (10 ml) of butter or margarine instead of the cooking spray, if desired, but the cooking spray affects the flavor less and makes the dish somewhat healthier. Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and add the milk, salt, and pepper. Beat well by hand with a wire whisk until all of the ingredients have been combine and the mixture appears mildly frothy.  The eggs are the only essential ingredient, so you can choose to opt out of the milk, salt, and pepper if desired. Milk creates a richer taste, however.     If you beat the eggs lightly, the final result will be fairly dense. If you beat the eggs significantly, though, you will beat more air into the mixture and your scrambled eggs will have a lighter texture as a result.    Add the beaten eggs to the hot skillet and allow them to cook until they begin to set around the edges.  Cook the eggs on medium heat to avoid overcooking or burning them.     Note that the eggs should still look liquidy along the top surface when you prepare to turn them for the first time.    Once the eggs begin to set around the edges, use a heat-resistant spatula to carefully pull the eggs toward you, flipping them over so that the bottom portion comes to the top while the liquid underside gets swapped to the bottom.  Pull the eggs toward you by scraping the spatula beneath them from the side opposite you and dragging the spatula toward you so that the eggs are flipped over.     Periodically flip the eggs as they cook, resting 20 seconds or so in between each flip. Do not move the eggs around too frequently. Otherwise, they may end up breaking into pieces that are too small and difficult to eat.     Keep turning the eggs in the pan until all traces of liquid have been removed.    Scrambled eggs are difficult to store and reheat, so you should enjoy them as soon as they finish cooking.

Article in English: Set your oven to 400 F (204 C) and let it come to temperature. Choose a baking sheet that will be long enough to accommodate your fish. It’s ok if the head and tail overhang a little. Line the baking sheet with two layers of aluminum foil that are each a little longer than the sheet. You can also use a roasting pan or fish kettle to cook the salmon. Clean the potatoes under running water and scrub them with a vegetable brush to remove dirt. Pat them dry with a towel or paper towel. With a knife, slice them into rounds that are a quarter-inch (0.6 cm) thick. You can also use a mandolin to cut the potatoes. Arrange the potato slices on top of the aluminum foil on the baking tray. Start with a single layer, and then overlap the potatoes if necessary. Drizzle them with some olive oil to coat the top layer. Sprinkle the top of the potatoes with salt and pepper. Take half the dill and half the parsley and place it in a bowl. Use a zester or grater to zest the two lemons. Add the zest to the bowl with the herbs and toss to mix. Cut open one of the lemons and squeeze the juice over the herbs. Toss to coat. Place the salmon on the cutting board. Open the slit in the belly that the fishmonger made when removing the organs. Pat the inside of the belly dry with paper towel. Pat the outside with a fresh paper towel as well. With your knife, score the skin of the salmon by making six angled cuts from the back to the belly. The cuts should be about an inch (2.5 cm) deep. Turn the fish over and repeat on the other side. The point of scoring the skin is to give you a place to stuff the herbs, dressing, and vegetables. Transfer the fish to the baking sheet, laying it diagonally across the potatoes. Take the remaining dill and parsley and stuff it inside the salmon’s belly. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and the herb-lemon mixture into each slash you made in the skin.  Sprinkle the top of the fish with the carrots, onions, celery, and garlic. Drizzle the white wine over the top of the fish and vegetables. Curl the edges of the foil up...

Article in English: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) and let it preheat for about ten minutes. Place an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. If you’re baking two sheets of bacon, place the oven racks in the bottom half of the oven. This will help the bacon cook evenly. Line the entire sheet, including the sides. This will prevent bacon grease from sticking to the surface and it will be easier to clean up. Choose a baking sheet with a lip that’s at least half an inch tall (1.27 cm) to keep bacon grease from dripping off the pan. Bacon is a greasy food, so there’s no need to spray the foil with cooking spray.  If you like crispier bacon, place a foil-wrapped cooling rack on the baking sheet. In this case, glass and ceramic pans can also be used. You can use parchment paper instead of foil. Use a large sheet that covers the bottom and sides of the pan. Leave some space between each strip as crowded bacon will not get crispy. If you have too much bacon for one baking sheet, use two baking sheets or cook the bacon in batches. Otherwise, you risk cooking unappetizing, grease-saturated bacon. A standard 21”x15” baking sheet will fit about a pound of bacon. If you have smaller sheets, you may need more than one to cook a pound of bacon. Check the bacon periodically to monitor the cooking process and adjust the cooking time based on your own tastes. Your cooking time may also change depending on your oven as some ovens run slightly hotter or cooler than normal. Remove the bacon from the oven when it’s almost perfect. The bacon will continue to cook and get firm even as it cools.  If the pieces become submerged in grease, pour the excess grease off into a ceramic bowl.  Don’t pour off hot grease into plastic or glass bowls. Plastic bowls may melt and glass bowls may crack. Take the bacon off the baking sheet. Use cooking tongs or a fork to protect yourself from the hot bacon. Place it on a plate lined with two paper towels to soak up excess oil. Clean the baking sheet once it’s cooled completely. Remove...

Article in English: Several companies make “privacy film,” which is basically removable, cut-to-size plastic film that you can adhere to your windows. While this film alone will not completely block out light, it will reduce the amount of light that comes through your windows. Aluminum helps reflect the sunlight coming in through the windows, so it can reduce your utility bills as well as block light. Use painter’s tape to secure the foil to avoid damaging your windows. If you rent your home, be aware that some property managers will not allow foiled windows. If you’re not sure whether you’re permitted to use foil, ask first. Blackout curtains are usually made from thicker fabrics and have liners that block light. In addition, they can reduce your utility bills because they help insulate your home.  You can also search for “thermal” curtains, which are also heavy and lined and serve the same purpose. If you really like your curtains, you can purchase just a blackout liner and hang it behind your existing curtains using clips or a second rod. IKEA, Home Depot, and many department stores sell blackout liners. If you’re crafty, you can often  sew curtains yourself for much cheaper than purchasing them. Most fabric stores sell “blackout drapery lining” and thermal fabrics that you can use behind any curtain fabric you choose. You can even sew linings into your existing curtains. Roller shades, roman shades, and other fabric window shades often block more light than curtains alone. They are widely available from home supply stores, departments stores, and online. You can also make your own shades from blackout fabric. While these may not be as attractive as purchased shades, they are usually cheaper. Drapes and blinds will help block any light that still comes in through filmed or foiled windows

Article in English: Several medications may increase your risk for gout. Immediately consult with your physician if you take any of the following:  Thiazide diuretics (frequently used to treat edema and hypertension) Low-dose aspirin Immunosuppressant drugs Anti-rejection medication (such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus) following an organ transplant Your doctor may prescribe a medication like allopurinol or febuxostat. These medications work to block the production of uric acid, which can cause gout. Your doctor may prescribe these if you have several attacks a year or if the attacks are painful. Febuxostat may cause changes to your liver enzymes. Allopurinol can cause skin rashes, anemia, and can sometimes increase joint pain. You might get a prescription for probenecid, which increases the excretion of uric acid and can reduce complications from gout. This medication helps your kidneys remove uric acid, but it means that you'll have more uric acid in your urine. This can cause other health issues like kidney stones, stomach ache, or rash. Always follow your doctor's dosing recommendations. Side effects of probenecid include headaches, joint pain, and rapid breathing. To deal with serious attacks of gout, your doctor may want you to take an NSAIDS like indomethacin or celecoxib. Prescription NSAIDS can cause bleeding, ulcers, or stomach pain. Make sure to follow your doctor's dosing recommendation. Talk with your doctor about taking over-the-counter OTC non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen or naproxen sodium. Your doctor might want you to take an OTC medication after you've taken higher dosage NSAIDS. This combination can stop an attack of gout. You'll probably be prescribed 800 mg of ibuprofen to be taken three to four times a day. OTC medications are usually used only during an attack, so stop taking them after your symptoms clear up.

Article in English: Several weeks before attempting to move your baby into their crib, introduce set cues and habits that will let your baby know when bedtime has come.  A set routine will help your baby know that it's bedtime, regardless of where they are sleeping. You can vary the routine as desired, making it as short or long as you need in order to help baby wind down. The elements you introduce into your routine should all be of a calming nature, however. Beginning the process before moving your baby to their crib will help your baby to associate the new routine with bedtime. As a result, your baby will still know that it's time for sleep even when one aspect of the routine—sleeping in your room—ceases. Be consistent. The only way to establish certain actions as a routine is to do them every night. If you skip some nights, you might give your baby mixed signals. Even if you have no pre-set cues that tell your baby when it's time to go to sleep, there might be signs and signals you unknowingly give to your baby that indicate the arrival of bedtime. Analyze your bedtime habits and determine if there are any habits you have established for your child. If there are, continue these habits as much as possible. Try giving your baby 2 or 3 ounces (60 or 90 ml) of formula or breast milk before going to bed. For babies over six months of age, you could also try giving them 1 or 2 tablespoons (15 or 30 ml) of cereal before bed. Stuffing your baby with too much food will only cause discomfort, but giving them a little before bed may help your baby feel more comfortable and last a little longer into the night before waking up.    A short, warm bath can help soothe your baby, easing them into sleep.  Note, however, that some babies will feel invigorated when given a bath. If yours falls under this category, then you should do the bath earlier in the day rather than making it part of your bedtime routine. Follow the bath by wrapping your baby in a warm towel or blanket. Holding your child close will also add an extra level of warmth and...

To make them stick out a bit close your fingers at the base of the ears and pull them lightly before and after stitching. You can also do a gather stitch at the base of the ears to help them to stick out more. To knit a gather stitch you would knit a decrease across the length of the ear with a smaller needle size than you have been using. Do a gather stitch around the neck where you placed the marker for the neck. Again, you would knit a decrease at this location to bring the neck in and differentiate the head and body.

Article in English: Sex might also release oxytocin, and an orgasm might stimulate the uterus. Unless your doctor has explicitly advised against it, you can try having sex to encourage later. When labor begins, it might cause your water to break. Remember that there is no hard evidence that indicates the effectiveness of sex. Another option is to engage in some light physical activity. The theory behind this is that it might also release oxytocin. Try taking a brief, gentle stroll. You don't want to overdo it. You'll need your energy for labor. You should talk to your doctor about how frequently you should walk, and for how long. Although there is no scientific evidence to support this, many women report that spicy food helps bring on labor. Be aware, though, that many experts believe that spicy foods release capsaicin, which counteract natural endorphins. This might make labor more painful. If you still want to try something spicy, eat hot peppers or your favorite spicy dish in moderation.

Article in English: Shad divide their time between the sea and coastal rivers, where they travel in spring in order to spawn. They can travel hundreds of miles upstream during a season, and are nicknamed "poor man's salmon." Unlike salmon, however, most shad don't die after they spawn.   In the Western US, the Colombia and Sacramento rivers are the best places to fish shad. In the Eastern US, the best place to find shad is in the Connecticut river. However, shad can be found in rivers as far south as Florida. Shad spend their autumns and winters in the ocean, so the best time to fish them is during the spring and summer, when they return to the rivers for much easier access. Most people begin fishing shad in April and May. You want to face the current so you can catch the fish as they swim upstream. They'll move toward the shore, where there's less drag from the current. Look for areas where there's a bend in the river, since the current is faster there and will tend to propel the fish toward the shore. Shad often congregate just below rocks and islands, and where water flows from fast to slow. You can often find them behind cover that creates a break in the current. It's easiest to catch shad in places where the water is no more than 10 feet (3.0 m) deep, and no less than 4 feet (1.2 m) deep. Check out the fishing guides for the river you plan to fish to find out where you should set up shop. Since fish tend to hug the shore in an effort to avoid the current as they swim upstream, you're much more likely to catch them if you cast within 30 feet (9.1 m) of the bank. Depending on where you're fishing, you might want to anchor a small boat to give you more casting freedom.

Summary in Russian:

Ловите алозу в реках, которые впадают в море. Рыбачьте весной и летом. Рыбачьте там, где есть сильное течение. Ловите рыбу на правильной глубине. Рыбачьте не дальше 9 метров от берега.


Article in English: Shads' location in the water varies with the weather patterns. During the spring and summer, search for shad in the early evening or right before daylight (though you can catch them at any time of day).  In the evenings, shad can be found in the warmer water towards the back of a cove or creek. During mornings or after dark, shad can be found around sources of light. In the fall, you will need to plan more around the cold weather patterns. The colder currents will push the shad out of the creeks and coves to the deeper water, making them more difficult to catch. The best way to fish shad is to cast upstream and let your line float downstream a bit with the current. Your lead should lightly flick the bottom, but it shouldn't sink so far it gets stuck. With luck, it'll cross the path of a school of shad. Make sure you're casting within 30 feet (9.1 m) of the shore, and try for a spot where the fast current meets slower waters. Shad travel in single file lines, rather than in big groups. That means it's easy to go home empty handed after a day of fishing in the wrong spot and missing the line of shad by just a few feet or even inches. Don't give up too easily if your first few castings don't field a bite. When you do find that line, keep fishing it. Where there's one shad, there are bound to be more. Shad fishing's popularity is due in part to a fisherman's ability to go home with a cooler brimming with fresh fish at the end of the day; all you've got to do is find that line, and you're set.

Article in English: Shake the stained garment and press the adhesive side of tape to it to lift remaining pollen. Similarly, loose pollen grains can be gently vacuumed from the fabric. This will prevent you from grinding the pollen grains into the fibers of your garment any more and prevent the stain from growing larger. Hang the garment up in direct sunlight for two to three hours. After a few hours have passed, check the stain; the sun should completely (or nearly completely) fade the pollen stain. If the stain is severe, however, this may not be enough to eliminate it. If sunlight alone is not enough, place the fabric in cold water and soak it. After soaking, allow the garment to dry in direct sunlight.

Article in English: Shake the thermometer well if you are using one that contains mercury. A digital thermometer may also be used and typically gives a faster result. It is recommended that you use a disposable sleeve with a digital thermometer. KY Jelly or Vaseline works well. Your goal is to make this process as stress-free for the cat as possible. Using lubrication helps decrease the risk of abrasion, ripping, and puncturing. Hold the cat under one arm like a football, with its tail towards the front of your body. Make sure its feet are on a solid surface like a table. Doing so will reduce the likelihood of scratches.  It may be a good idea to have a friend help you hold the cat if possible. Some cats are wiggly and may be difficult to keep still. Have your helper position the cat in a way so that you can insert the thermometer in its rectum easily. You might also grab and hold onto your cat’s scruff (extra skin on the back of its neck). Since many cats associate this with their mother’s protection, it may have a calming effect. Be sure to only insert the thermometer approximately 1 inch (2.54 cm). Do not go more than 2 inches deep. Hold the thermometer at a 90 degree angle so it goes straight into your cat’s rectum. Do not enter at any other angle as this will increase the likelihood of pain and discomfort. A mercury thermometer may take a little longer to get an accurate reading. If you are using a digital thermometer, hold it until it indicates that it has finished reading the temperature. Most digital thermometers will beep when finished. Hold your cat firmly during this process. It may squirm, scratch, or bite. Do your best to keep it still to avoid injury to your cat and yourself. A temperature of 101.4 degrees F (38.55 degrees C) is ideal for a cat, but a cat's temperature may also range from 100 to 102.5 degrees F (39.17 degrees C) and still be considered normal.   If your cat's temperature is below 99 degrees F (37.22 degrees C) or above 104 degrees F (40 degrees C) you should seek immediate medical attention. If...

Article in English: Shake yourself out of a serious demeanor by asking questions that will help you get your priorities straight. When you feel intense seriousness start to bubble up inside, ask yourself the following questions:  Is this worth getting upset over? Is this worth possibly upsetting others? Is this really so important? Is this so bad to begin with? Is the situation really beyond repair? Is this your problem at all? A serious mentality can make it more difficult to see when things are meant to be taken lightly or in jest. You might jump to conclusions about what someone meant or did. For example, if someone points out to you that you have a small stain on your shirt, you might take them to be making a statement about your inability to look presentable. Just like that, a helpful comment is turned into an offense. Try searching for alternative meanings beyond your knee jerk response to take people's remarks as having very serious implications. Consider that most people do not have an agenda--they are not trying to send you hints that go beyond what they are actually saying. Being able to find the humor in life is just as important as being able to see the more practical, close-ended way of viewing things. When you are tempted to think "I'm too mature for this" or "Does anyone really find this amusing?", try to find the part of yourself that can enjoy it--even if it means taking a walk in someone else's shoes. After all, research shows that the two most desirable qualities for leaders to have are a good work ethic and a good sense of humor. Test out the idea that you can be dedicated and hardworking without being serious all the time. Work hard, play hard--right? Because you never know where life is going to take you or why, ruined plans and unfinished goals might mean that something entirely different and unexpected is in store. We all know the old saying that life is about the journey, not the destination. So, rest easy and relax the reins since it is often the unplanned and uncertain that delivers most of the treats...

Article in English: Shakira always seems to have flawless skin, and she's shared beauty tips that have helped her keep her skin hydrated and clean. Before bed, remove any makeup on your skin so that your pores do not get clogged overnight. Then, apply a vitamin C serum daily before applying your makeup, and Vitamin E when your skin gets especially dry. Shakira also stresses the importance of wearing sunscreen to keep your skin healthy.  Shakira gets her vitamin E from capsules she buys at the pharmacy and squeezes them onto her skin. Shakira is a proponent of natural products, and tries to buy beauty products that have as few chemicals in them as possible. Her favorite sunscreen is BabyGanic Sunscreen Spray. Differing from many stars, Shakira actually claims to do most of her own makeup herself. To get the same look that Shakira has, focus on keeping it simple. Start by applying a foundation and then move onto makeup that accentuates your features without going overboard. Shakira prefers Tarte foundation because it is oil-free and waterproof, and then uses Origins Pinch Your Cheeks to add a soft pink glow to her cheeks. After Shakira has applied a layer of foundation to cover up any blemishes, she applies blush to her cheeks, but not too much. Consider using a cream blush and brush it along the apple of your cheeks. Use a shade that is only slightly pinker than your skin tone. You want your blush to look natural, as if you weren't wearing any and your cheeks just have a rosy glow. If you aren't sure what color of blush to wear, pinch your cheeks. Then, strive for the color that you see on your cheeks. Use an eyeshadow that is a shade slightly darker than your skin tone. Gently swipe the eyeshadow on your eyelid, to lift your eyes a little. Then apply a mascara that is similar to your eyelash color (if you have brown eyelashes use a dark-brown mascara or a brown-black). Sometimes Shakira will just use an eyelash curler and skip the mascara. If you can get away without using eyeshadow, try it. Sometimes natural beauty is the best,...

Article in English: Shakira gets much of her exercise from the dancing that she does on tour, so to look like Shakira, sign up for some dance lessons. Shakira combines different dance styles like the Samba and other Spanish-influenced dance forms, hip hop, and belly dancing. Watch some of Shakira's videos and take lessons in these types of dance so that you can mimic her dance style. Even after Shakira had her baby, her body was in shape. To look like Shakira, you'll want to exercise and go for a similar body type. While Shakira is curvy, she has toned hips and thighs and a flat stomach, which give her an hour glass shape. Along with exercises to target specific muscle groups you can do these routines to improve your health and body shape:  Zumba: Shakira claims that she did Zumba throughout her pregnancy and after her pregnancy she did it four to five times a week. Take a Zumba class at your local gym -- it's a great form of exercise! Eat eight small meals a day: Instead of having three large meals throughout the day, Shakira eats eight small meals packed with fiber, calcium, iron, and protein. This helped to keep her metabolism boosted. To get Shakira's toned stomach, do 15 to 20 minutes of ab exercises at least three times a week. Some effective ab exercises to achieve that hourglass shape and flat tummy are:  Leg lifts: Lie on your back and extend your legs out in front of you. Then, keeping your legs straight, lift them into the air, targeting your lower abs. Lower legs back to the floor, but don't let them touch the ground. You'll want to keep your back flat while doing this (don't use your back strength because it can hurt your back), so if you need extra help, place both your hands underneath your tailbone. Waist whittlers: Get in plank position, with your elbows on the ground and your hands together. Then, twist your waist so that one side hits the ground below you, and then twist to the other side. Make sure your back is flat and that you aren't arching your butt down or up. Russian twists: Sit on your butt with your...

Article in English: Shakira has honey-blonde hair with sun-kissed highlights. To achieve this similar look, bleach your hair, but not a platinum blonde, and add some highlights and low lights to your hair. If your hair is already blonde, then just add some low lights to achieve the different dimensions of Shakira's hair. Some of her lowlights have a reddish tent, so consider doing a mixture of dark blonde and strawberry blond low lights.  Shakira does a really good job of making her hair look natural -- it doesn't seem obvious that she's naturally a brunette. When bleaching or coloring your hair, strive for a shade of blonde that looks natural with your skin tone and eyebrow color. Even if you can't get Shakira's exact color, it's better to follow her in the sense that her hair doesn't look unnatural. Shakira has had several different hair styles and hair colors, so you may be looking for one of her darker, shorter cuts. Shakira has been a brunette with highlights, has had very short hair, and has had extremely curly hair. You can achieve any of her looks by visiting a professional to color and cut your hair, or you can do it yourself by buying a boxed dye and highlighting kit. Shakira is a fan of avoiding harsh chemicals when it comes to taking care of her hair. She uses sulfate-free shampoo on her hair and refrains from using products with alcohols as they can dry out your hair. To really get Shakira's hair, try to go for natural serums and products for your hair. Aloe vera, coconut oil, shea butter, honey, and vegetable glycerin are all natural products that can provide moisture and improve the health of your hair. Shakira's most recent hairstyle that causes envy from others is her long hair. If you have short hair, overtime you can grow it out like Shakira's so that you can achieve the same wavy look as hers. To grow your hair long, follow these tips:  Consider taking supplements for your hair. There are different vitamins you can take to improve hair growth, some of which are Biotin and Niacin. Take one of these supplements...

Article in English: Shampoo is great for cleaning dirt and grime away from hair, but it's not so great at taming puffy hair. That's because shampoo strips your hair of its natural oils, which make your hair silken and combat frizz. Some people go for as long as a week in between shampooing. The exact amount of time is up to you, but the consensus is that waiting a couple days between washes produces healthier, less puffy hair. There's some debate about how effective this is, but the idea is pretty simple: cold water causes the cuticles of the hair to contract, simultaneously adding shine and taming frizz. Some scientists, however, doubt the effectiveness of cold water on the scalp, saying that since hair cuticles aren't living cells, they shouldn't contract. The debate aside, this advice shouldn't cause puffy hair, so try it out and see if it works. As discussed below, certain specially-designed leave-in conditioners can help fight puffy hair.

Article in English: Shampoo your hair as you normally would, then condition it from the roots to the ends. Be sure to fully saturate the ends of your hair with conditioner, since they tend to get the driest. Detangle your hair with a wide-tooth comb while your conditioner is soaking in, then rinse your hair thoroughly. Combing your hair while you have the conditioner in will help minimize breakage. Using a soft towel, gently squeeze and blot your hair, but try not to rub it vigorously, as this can be damaging. Continue towel-drying your hair until it’s damp, rather than soaking wet. Look for a smoothing or straightening product that doesn’t need to be heat activated. If your curls are loose, you might only need a lightweight mousse or cream product, but if you have tight curls, a heavier product like a gel might give you more control over the finished product. You’ll need 1 section for each roller. The amount of sections you’ll need depends on the thickness of your hair and the size of the rollers, but you’ll probably need at least 6 rollers—3 on each side. If your hair is tightly coiled or very thick, you may need 8 or more sections. Place the roller under the ends of one of your sections of hair, then roll the hair tightly onto the roller. Roll all the way up to your scalp, then use clips or pins to secure the roller.  Jumbo rollers are typically 1 1⁄2–2 in (3.8–5.1 cm) in diameter, and you can find them wherever hair supplies are sold. Your hair has to be tight on the rollers in order to straighten out your curls. The angle you roll at controls how much volume your hair has. Lift your hair higher before rolling if you want to have more volume. Allow your hair to dry completely on the rollers. This might take as little as 2-3 hours, but if your hair is very thick, it could take longer. If you’re not sure how long it will take for your hair to dry, you might want to plan to sleep with the rollers in place. You may also dampen hair with a spray bottle instead of washing it if you want to rollers to set faster. Once your hair is...

Article in English: Share her your memories of when she visited last time and say you miss her and that you're looking forward to seeing her again soon. Or, perhaps there is some other thing she does that you'd like to praise. There are some things to bear in mind when writing the letter, such as:  Don't be too sentimental while writing; this spoils the natural effect of your message. Don't give bad expressions about anyone whom she loves. Avoid using slang or curse words. Include a promise from you to do something unexpected for her (something she likes).

Article in English: Sharing activities with the girl will improve your relationship with her. When you have a good time with a girl, she is more likely to remember the experience. Friendships are typically started because two people share a common interest, so it's important that you both share one before becoming better friends.   One way to avoid sending mixed signals is to tell the girl how much the activity costs. By doing this you are setting the tempo for a friendly hang-out and not a date. You can go to a restaurant to eat, travel to an amusement park, attend another friend's birthday party, go surfing, join an art class, or do anything else that you both like. Hanging out inside and watching movies is always an option if there isn't anything to do. As humans we bond over conversation, especially if the topic of conversation is something that we hold emotionally dear. The more you have conversations about each other's lives, the more connected you will feel. Being vulnerable means listening to her fears and emotions and being open to talk about yours.   Don't be critical of her if she comes to you with a problem. The last thing a girl wants to hear is how she did wrong when she already knows she messed up. Always listen for the girl's perspective and see where she is coming from before giving your advice. Asking a girl for advice will open up trust, and she will become more likely to seek you out for her own advice. Getting compliments makes us feel good and motivates us to do things. You should always compliment a girl when you admire something she has accomplished or achieved. However, you shouldn't compliment a girl when it comes to her looks, because it can put her in an uncomfortable place if you're just friends. Instead, take cues from the compliments that she gives to you. If she never mentions your physical appearance, it's best to not mention her looks.  Refrain from saying things like “you're so beautiful,” or other general things about her appearance.

Article in English: Shark teeth contain oxygen, which can react with surrounding minerals to create colors over time. Fossilized shark teeth have had at least 10,000 years for this oxidation to take effect, so they’re often black, deep red, brown, grey, or another similar dark color. This varies based on the environment that the tooth has fossilized in, because different sediments contain minerals that create different colors through oxidization.  Shark teeth that are found in areas that contain iron oxide, such as parts of New Jersey, tend to have an orange or red coloring. Shark teeth found in areas that contain a lot of phosphate, such as Venice Beach, Florida, tend to be black, as phosphate is a dense, black mineral. Modern teeth haven’t yet been exposed to the minerals in surrounding sediments for the 10,000 years that it takes to cause oxidation. As a result, these teeth are typically white, and usually appear much like they did when they were in the mouth of the shark they came from. Try determining the general age of the tooth by observing its anatomy and finding out what kind of species it came from. While many shark teeth that you may find can come from sharks like tiger sharks and great white sharks that exist today, you could find one that comes from an extinct species. If you notice that the anatomy of a tooth matches that of an extinct species, the tooth is extremely old. The megalolamna paradoxodon is one example of an extinct shark species that you could possibly find the teeth of.. While you can certainly find fossilized shark teeth at the beach, both modern and fossilized teeth are frequently found in this location. If you find a tooth significantly inland, then there’s a high chance that it’s very old because it would take a long time for the tooth to be moved far away from the ocean by the elements. For instance, if you find a shark tooth in a creek that’s 50 miles (80.5 kilometers) inland, it’s probably a fossilized tooth.

Article in English: Shaving is the most basic method to get rid of body hair. You can buy a razor and shaving cream in most grocery stores, pharmacies, and even gas stations. Shaving is a fast and painless way to get rid of hair, however it doesn't prevent hair from growing back.  Unlike waxing, shaving does not hurt, but because of the sharp blades from the razor, you can cut yourself frequently. Shaving only lasts for up to a week, until the hair is visible again. Some hair grows back within 1-2 days. Open the pores to ensure a smooth shave by either submersing the skin to be shaved in a hot bath or taking a hot shower.  If you shave as part of your shower routine, wait until the end (making sure the water is hot at least a few minutes before you begin) to begin shaving. Apply shaving cream/gel liberally to the area you intend to shave and wait a few minutes for it to set in. This time is critical to ensure the skin is properly lubricated to protect against the razor. Cover the entire area you want to shave. Slowly run the razor across your hair. After 5-6 inches, rinse off the shaving cream and hair and repeat. Slowly (as slowly as you can) shave and with each stroke, wash the blade under hot water. Continue until your skin is smooth. Make sure not to press too hard on your skin. Lightly graze it. You must moisturize to maintain your skin! Shaving removes the most superficial layer so skin is extra-sensitive to damage, but also will absorb moisture better, so take advantage of the time. Use moisturizers with vitamin E or shea butter to help soothe skin and keep it looking young. If you need extra protection against razor burn, use an astringent cream or oil (usually containing an analgesic) to prevent irritation.

Article in English: Shaving is the quickest and easiest way to remove your leg hair. Removing your leg hair will automatically make your legs appear to be shinier. Shave as often as necessary – some people shave every day, some shave once a week. Invest in a good razor, especially if you have sensitive skin. A good razor will often have multiple blades and a conditioning strip.  When you shave, use a good shaving cream. There are many shaving creams that can be purchased at beauty or convenience stores, but you can also use natural shaving creams. Shea butter and coconut oil make for great shaving creams, as these products deeply condition the skin. Take your time when shaving your legs. Don't rush through the shaving process, as you could cut yourself or miss a section of hair. Shave your legs while in a hot bath or shower. The hot water will open up your pores, allowing you to get a closer shave. Waxing is a great way to get smooth, shiny legs, and the results will last much longer than shaving. Waxing is a bit painful, but is worth it if you want better, longer lasting results. Many people choose to get waxed by a professional, but you can also wax your own legs at home.  Exfoliate before waxing for best results. Purchase an at-home waxing kit. This kit should contain wax (that is typically heated in the microwave) and waxing sticks and sheets. Wax your legs slowly and carefully. Apply the hot wax onto one small section of skin at a time using the waxing stick, place the waxing sheet on top of the hot wax, and press down. After about 15 seconds, quickly pull the strip upwards off your skin. Repeat this until you have waxed your legs completely. For more details on waxing your legs at home, check out Waxing Your Legs With a Waxing Kit If you are sick and tired of shaving and waxing to get rid of your unwanted leg hair, consider getting it removed permanently. This process is a bit more painful and expensive than the typical hair removal methods, but many believe it to be worth it. You can get your hair removed professionally,...

Article in English: She may hang her head low, slouch, take up as little space as possible, and avoid eye contact. This posture is associated with submission and anxiety. This body language reinforces and sends the message that you are nervous, submissive, and lack confidence. Changing your posture and body language will alter the impression you make on others, their behavior towards you, and eventually your own perception of yourself. If you're not comfortable trying some of these techniques in public, practice them in a mirror or film yourself until you feel a bit more comfortable. You could also practice with a good friend and get some feedback. Stand and walk with your shoulders pulled back and level. Keep your chin level, with your face pointed straight ahead. Walk like you own the world, even if you don't feel like you do. Doing this will make yourself look poised because many people slouch.  Pretend you are hanging from a string attached to the top of your head. Try keeping your head from moving around anxiously by choosing a fixed point to look at. Focus on the point, rather than moving your head. Anxious people often shift their weight from side to side, fidget, or tap their feet. Try standing with your feet at hip's width apart. Balance your weight across both legs. Balancing, or planting, your feet will keep your from feeling like you need to be on the move. Keep your legs balanced even when you're sitting. You'll appear anxious if your legs are twisted around or tapping. Fight the urge to lean forward in your chair or tuck your arms under your armpits. Instead, be expansive and fill out the space around you. This is called power posing. Studies have shown that people who power-posed before interviews felt and came across as more confident. Here are a few simple power poses to try:  When sitting down, lean back in your chair. Use the armrests if they're available. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart and place your hands on your hips. Lean, don't slouch, against walls. This will unconsciously make it appear as...

Article in English: Sheets can be folded until layers are 48 pieces thick to save time. For smaller flowers, you can make smaller circles, and likewise larger circles for larger circles. Cut out the circles through all the sheets. You will be left with stacks of 48 paper circles. (Note: Less paper can be used to make fewer flowers). Secure the pieces with a paper clip and puncture two holes in the center with a sharp point, such as a large sewing needle. After pushing it through one hole, curve it and push it back out the other hole to form a loop that secures the paper. The pipe cleaner will also serve as the stem. Gently pull each sheet toward the center of the flower and firmly crinkle the base of each piece to hold the flower shape.

Article in English: Sherlock Holmes solves his crimes by following the principles of deduction, which is a method used to reach a conclusion based on a guiding theory. Sherlock creates his theories based on the connections he makes using his observational skills and personal knowledge. Deduction relies on the principle that all things in a particular group have the same rules. For example, if everyone in the conference room has won a prize and Tom is in the conference room, then we know that Tom is a prizewinner. A master of deduction builds a theory upon evidence, which then allows them to draw solid conclusions based on their theories.  Look for patterns in your life. Pay attention to the who, what, where, why, when, and how. For example, document who you see making the office coffee. You may discover that the only person who makes coffee before 8 AM is the office accountant, Lily. Make generalizations using your evidence. According to this pattern, you can generalize that all coffee made before 8 AM is made by Lily. Based on this theory, if there is no coffee after 8 AM, then Lily has not come into work. Once you’ve built a theory based on generalizations, see if your theory holds true. In the example above, the next time 8 AM passes and there is no coffee, check to see if Lily is out of the office. You need to improve your problem solving abilities so that you can use deduction to make better decisions. To use deduction, you need to be good at working out the solution to a problem. Start by defining your problem and understanding the facts. Gather and analyze information. List out possible solutions, and examine the qualities of each one. . You must learn to think logically if you are going to develop your intuition. For your intuition to be accurate, it needs to be trained to react based on logic. Look for relationships between causes and effects. For example, if your friend drinks more cups of coffee on Thursdays, then ask yourself what’s different about that day. She may stay up late on Wednesday because she’s taking a...

Article in English: Shin splints are often caused by either running (or walking) too much uphill, on uneven terrain or on particularly hard surfaces such as asphalt or concrete. As such, try altering your course and changing the type of surface you run or walk on — switch to grass, sand or a rubberized athletic track, for examples. Alternatively, cut down on your mileage and the number of times your workout per week. Over-pronation (the rolling in of ankles) and flat feet are risk factors for getting shin splints. Poorly fitting or excessively heavy shoes can also contribute to the development of shin splints. As such, wear stable, lightweight footwear that suits your sport or activity. Aim for no more than a 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) heel. If you're a serious runner, replace your shoes about every 350 to 500 miles (560 to 800 km) or 3 months, whichever comes first.  Remember to always tie your shoes tightly because loose shoes or flip-flops puts more strain on your foot and lower leg muscles. Get fitted for your shoes by a shoe salesperson late in the day because that's when your feet are at their largest, usually due to swelling and slight compression of your arches. If changing your routine and footwear doesn't make a positive impact on your shin pain, then consider switching to an entirely different activity that may be more "friendly" to your shin muscles, such as swimming, cycling or rowing. Then after the shin splints resolve (perhaps in a matter of days or a few weeks), slowly reintroduce running, walking or dancing back into your routine.  Swimming burns more calories than walking or jogging because most swimming strokes require the use of all your body's muscles. Lifting relatively heavy weights with your upper body is a good alternative, and it also burns more calories than cardiovascular exercise. Weight loss may help prevent shin splints as there's less pressure put on the bones and muscles of the lower leg. For most women, consuming less than 2,000 calories daily will lead to some weight loss every week even if you're only...

Article in English: Shoot her a quick gaze, wait until she notices, smile with your eyes, and then slowly look away. If you look back and notice her looking back to meet your eyes, she's likely interested in talking. If she completely avoids eye contact with you, she's probably not interested or is too busy or distracted to notice you.  If she's talking to another guy, back off, unless you're really feeling bold. If she's with a group of girls, then your chances may be better if you go talk to her with a group of your own friends. If she's looking at books, go look at books near her. If she's at the bar, go order a drink next to her. Find any excuse you can to casually bring yourself close to her. In some situations, though, this will be difficult (such as if she's absorbed in her laptop at a coffee shop, or talking with a friend). In that case, it's probably better not to interrupt her unless she seems obviously intrigued by you (i.e. she can't seem to stop looking at you). Don't wait too long to talk to her. If she sees you looking at her and approaching, then let her see that you're a man of action, smile, and walk up to her. Keep it casual, as if you already know each other, but not too casual because you don't want to scare her off. You can start with a simple observation and end it with a question: "Nice day, isn't it?" or "This place sure is packed, huh?" What you say isn't important. You don't really need an answer to the question; you are simply inviting her to talk with you. If she responds pleasantly, continue the conversation. If she doesn't respond or seems preoccupied or disinterested, she probably isn't interested, so start talking to someone else. Don't worry about saying the perfect thing at first. You just have to get the conversation started and can wow her later. Don't go for a pick up line or something that just doesn't sound like you. Don't come in with “canned material”, “nuclear attraction” routines, or other social robotics. The best way to make a connection with someone is to come from the heart and...

Article in English: Shop at local nurseries for wildflower seeds to ensure that you get species that will grow well in your climate zone. Ask for seeds that are "nursery propagated" instead of "nursery grown." This will ensure that the seeds were derived from local plant populations. If you are buying seeds in the U.S., find native plant nurseries by visiting the Wildflower Center's suppliers directory at https://www.wildflower.org/suppliers/. Species of wildflowers that are not winter-hardy should be planted between March and May so they have time to germinate before the summer comes. Species that do better in cooler temperatures should be planted between September and November, or in autumn before the first frost. Seeds that are planted after November will usually lie dormant until the following spring. Only species that are very resistant to hot weather should be planted in the summer as the heat will prevent seed germination for some wildflowers. The seeds for different species of wildflowers vary in weight and size, which can make them difficult to spread evenly if grouped together. Offset this problem by planting the seeds for each species one at a time. Apply them all uniformly over the same space to create a mix of flowers, or plant them in their own spots for varied looks across your garden. It can be difficult to distribute wildflowers seeds evenly when planting them. To do this, mix 1 part wildflower seeds in a container with 4 parts sand and shake them to mix them up. This will prevent the seeds from clumping together and growing in uneven patches. Rake seeds into the top layer of the soil to encourage germination. Water the ground as needed to keep it moist while the seeds germinate. On average this should be every 2-3 days, or more or less depending on the weather. Do not over-water the ground, which will block the flow of oxygen to the developing root systems.  Once your seedlings are 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) tall, slowly stop watering them and only provide water in very dry conditions. Fully-grown wildflowers do...
