Article in English: In the Northern Hemisphere, the Pleiades star cluster becomes visible to evening observers in October and disappears in April. November is the best time to look for the Pleiades, when they are visible from dusk to dawn and reach their highest point in the sky.  In early October, the Pleiades become visible a couple hours after sunset. By about February, the Pleiades are already high in the sky at sunset. (The exact timing depends on your latitude.) The Pleiades are visible in late summer and early autumn as well, but only in the middle of the night. The Pleiades rise in the southeast after dusk and travel west during the night. During their peak in November, they climb high in the sky and disappear in the northwest before dawn. In late winter and early spring, they will only be visible for a few hours, traveling east to west across the southern part of the sky. Orion the Hunter is one of the most famous and distinct constellations in the sky. On a winter evening at a mid-northern latitude, he stands almost due south, about halfway between the horizon and the sky directly above your head. Locate him by his belt, a straight line of three bright stars close together. The red star nearby, Betelgeuse, forms his left shoulder (from your perspective), while the blue giant Rigel on the other side of the belt is his right leg. Treat Orion's belt as an arrow pointing to your next landmark, moving from left to right in the sky. (At most times and places, this will point to the northwest.) The next bright star you see in this direction is another bright, red-orange star: Aldebaran. This is the Arabic word for "Follower," likely named because it chases the Pleiades each night.  Aldebaran is not in a perfect line with the belt. Don't try to get there with binoculars, or you may miss it. Aldebaran dips below the horizon around March, or earlier in extreme northern latitudes. If Aldebaran isn't visible, try to follow Orion's belt all the way to Pleiades. Continue moving your eyes in the same direction (usually northwest),...

Article in English: In the Northern hemisphere, the best time to view the Andromeda Galaxy is between August and September. In the southern hemisphere, you can see it between October and December. During these seasons, Andromeda will appear as soon as the sky darkens. It is possible to view the Andromeda Galaxy all year long in the northern hemisphere, although it may be more difficult to find in other seasons. The moon can also dim your view of the stars. You will have the clearest view of the Andromeda Galaxy if you go out during the new moon or a crescent moon.  If the moon is full, it may be difficult to find the Andromeda Galaxy. A new moon occurs once a month. Use an online lunar calendar to find the best night for stargazing this month. Any clouds in the sky will obstruct your view of the stars. Look at weather reports before you head out to make sure that there will be no cloud cover.

Article in English: In the United States, chiggers are most common in the humidity of the Southeast and the Midwest. Chiggers thrive on warmth and moisture. Avoid walking through brush, tall grass, and weeds. Avoid marshes, swamps, and wooded habitats with rotting leaves and stick piles.  Chiggers often wait in the underbrush and low shrubs to attach to small animals, which are their natural hosts. Stay away from bushes and vines that might brush against your body and deposit chiggers.  Chiggers rarely move very far from the sites where they hatch, resulting in patches of chiggers in damp and warm areas. Avoid sitting or lying directly on the ground during the summer months.  Instead, bring a folding chair or blanket to spread beneath you. Avoid perching on stumps or logs. Instead, sit on an object that is dry and hot, such as a rock that is warm from the sun. Chiggers are most likely to bite in the afternoons of the spring and summer, when the ground temperature is between 77–86 °F (25–30 °C). They become inactive below 60 °F (15.6 °C), and die when the temperature drops below 42 °F (5.6 °C). During chigger season, plan outdoor excursions when the weather is cool or dry.

Summary in Russian:

Не ходите в места, где часто встречаются чиггеры. Думайте, куда садитесь. Планируйте свои мероприятия на тот период времени, когда чиггеры наименее активны.


Article in English: In the United States, unions are a divisive topic. Some laud them as some of the few organizations fighting for the rights of common people, while others decry them as bastions of corruption and laziness. Before trying to unionize, it's important to understand how unions function in an objective way - free of bias either in favor of or against unions.  In a union, the employees at a workplace agree to band together (either on their own or with employees from other workplaces) to collectively negotiate for any number of things - higher wages and better working conditions, for instance. If enough people in the workplace agree to join in a union and the union is made official, the employer is required by law to negotiate a contract with the union, which represents all the workers, rather than with each worker individually, as the employer normally would. Collectively, workers in a union have greater negotiating power than they do individually. If, for instance, a worker who isn't in a union demands higher wages or better treatment, she or he can often be ignored - the worst-case scenario for the employer is the employee will quit and someone else will have to be hired. If, however, the workers band together in a union and demand better treatment, the employer has to take notice - if all the workers agree to stop working (in an action called a "strike"), the employer has no way to run the business and is out of luck. Finally, members of a union have to pay "dues" - fees that are used to run the union itself, pay pensions, pay union organizers and lawyers, lobby the government for favorable policy-making, and some use a portion of dues to a "strike fund" - money used to pay union members so they'll be able to support themselves during a strike. The amount of money paid as dues varies based on the decision of union members or leadership, depending on how democratically-run your union is. The goal of a union is for increased pay and better working conditions to more than outweigh the cost of membership. Often, the...

Article in English: In the case of mirrors or glass tabletops especially, you may be able to give the object to a friend or even donate it to a charitable organization. By giving the glass away, you can get rid of it, help someone else, and keep the glass out of a landfill. Ultimately, whether or not you can recycle your specific piece of glass depends upon the area where you live. Mirrors, window glass, and other large pieces of glass have a different chemical composition than standard bottle glass, and many recycling plants may not accept them. If your municipality does accept window glass, etc., then they'll likely have a specific process for it. Contact them and follow any specific instructions. This process will most likely involve taking the glass down to a recycling center since the trucks that run recycling routes aren't typically equipped for nonstandard items. If it looks like sending your glass to the dump is the only option, then you’ll want to start by contacting your area’s waste management service. Different companies will handle waste of different sizes. For truly large pieces of glass, your waste management company may not dispose of it in a single piece. You'll likely find information with weight and dimension restrictions on the company's website or by calling. If they tell you you’ll need to break up the pane first, then the second method will be more suited to your needs. If your piece of glass is small enough to dispose of whole, you can trash the glass by taking steps to prepare it for disposal first. Since multiple waste management personnel will have to handle the glass, you want to help ensure that it doesn't break and become a hazard in the process. Start by covering the surface of the glass with duct tape. Tape across the glass will help keep the pieces in place and limit splintering in the event that is does break.  Tape both the front and back surfaces of the glass. The more of the surface you cover the better, but if you don't want to waste a large amount of tape, then you can simply place a large...

Article in English: In the cosmetic section of the drugstore you'll find shelves of products designed to have a lip-plumping effect. These glosses and chapsticks usually contain ingredients like cinnamon oil or capsaicin, the substance that makes hot peppers hot. These ingredients slightly irritate the skin, causing it to plump up temporarily.  Lip-plumpers are usually quite glossy, which creates an even poutier appearance. Caffeine is also commonly found in lip plumpers, so check the ingredients if you're sensitive to it. Cinnamon is a mild irritant that can safely plump up your lips a little. Try sprinkling a little cinnamon powder on your old toothbrush (the one you are not using) then using it to brush your lips. Gently scrub your lips until they become full and flushed.  Try making your own cinnamon plumping gloss by mixing a little cinnamon into a teaspoon of coconut oil. Place it in an old chapstick jar and use it whenever your lips need a boost.  Feeling a little tingly is normal, but if your lips feel painfully irritated after using cinnamon, discontinue use and try another method. Mint, similarly to cinnamon, has a mildly irritating effect that can cause the lips to swell a little. A great natural way to plump your lips is by rubbing on a few drops of peppermint oil.  Make your own plumping gloss by mixing 5 drops of peppermint oil with a teaspoon of coconut oil. Store it in an old chapstick jar. If your lips feel irritated by the peppermint, use another method. This method isn't for the faint of heart, but it works! Take a small piece of jalapeño or another moderately spicy pepper and rub it over your lips. In a moment or two, your lips will start to swell, much like they do when you eat hot salsa or hot sauce.  Don't try this with habaneros or other very hot peppers, since the experience might get uncomfortable. You could also dab a little dried pepper powder, such as cayenne, into your lips for a plumping effect.

Article in English: In the current digital age, it is essential that you maintain an online presence to promote your writing and showcase it to editors in the industry. You should have an online portfolio, a personal website, and/or a blog that you update regularly.   Your portfolio or website should have your biography, a blog documenting your past traveling experiences and any upcoming travel, with lots of detailed write ups of your experiences, as well as social media feeds where you can promote and share your articles, photos and videos.  Use your portfolio as a platform to engage readers, viewers, and editors in the industry. Linking to your website when you meet an editor or a possible writing contact will ensure someone is paying attention to your online persona and could lead to writing contracts or offers. One of the best ways to kick start your career is to focus on local events and activities in your hometown or city. Focus on a new interesting food craze in your town or a brand new music festival in your city. Writing about your hometown can give you access to material that is easy to cover, with very cheap travel fees.  As a travel writer, you will need to be able to move past superficial descriptions of a place and see a place in an authentic and interesting way. Writing about things in your area will allow you to build a strong body of work around a certain niche or location and help you practice “seeing” a place from a deeper, more engaging perspective. One way you can create your own local writing prompts is to google your local place + “travel”. For example, “Reno travel”. Look at what comes up first in the search results and ask yourself if you could provide a well written article with more useful information. If the answer is yes, you may have found your first travel writing story. While it is very important to network with contacts online, using your online presence you should also network offline by meeting face to face with individuals in the industry. Look for travel writing conferences in your area or...

Article in English: In the days and weeks immediately following your loved one's death, your physical routine might get disrupted. You will likely have trouble eating, sleeping, and exercising. After some time has passed, you will need to reestablish your healthy habits in order to get your life back on track. Even if you are not feeling hungry, try to eat healthy meals at regularly scheduled intervals. Eating nutritious foods at regular times will help elevate your mood and will establish a sense of normalcy after a traumatic event. Resist the urge to self-medicate with alcohol or drugs. While they might seem to provide some relief, they might make it more difficult to recover in the long run. Healthy habits will be more effective at letting you move on with your life. Exercise can serve as a welcome distraction from your grief. By focusing on your body, your mind will be able to take a much-needed break--even if only for a few minutes. Exercise can also help keep your mood elevated, especially if you exercise outdoors on a sunny day. While you might not be able to sleep well while you are grieving, there are steps you can take to try to get a good night's rest and reestablish healthy sleep patterns.  Try to sleep in a cool, dark place. Avoid bright screens before bedtime. Establish bedtime rituals, such as reading a book or listening to a soothing song before bed. Avoid caffeine and alcohol in the evenings. If your loved one slept in your bed with you, consider sleeping on their side of the bed for a while. You will feel connected with them and will be less likely to be startled that their side of the bed is empty. If your old habits are making it difficult for you to move on with your life, find some new patterns for a while. This doesn't mean that you are abandoning your loved one. Instead, it means that you are planning for your future.  If you feel like you cannot move on because everything in your home reminds you of your loved one, consider rearranging the furniture. If you watched a television program with your loved...

Article in English: In the days following your surgery, you should monitor your temperature. A fever is a sign of post-operative infection, which could be dangerous, so call your doctor if your temperature exceeds 101 °F (38 °C). If you are in a lot of pain, even when taking your prescribed medication, or if you notice a lot of swelling around your incision, call your doctor. There may be no problem – different people react differently to surgery – but it’s important to err on the side of caution during the post-operative period. If your incision starts to bleed more heavily, or if the area around it begins to get redder, call your doctor. These symptoms could be signs of an infection or other problem. Pus or a bad-smelling discharge from your incision is a strong indication that there’s an infection present. Contact your doctor immediately.

Article in English: In the direct aftermath of disappointment, it's important that you experience your emotions. When dealing with anything difficult in life, it's vital to acknowledge your emotional reaction even if it's painful or difficult.  Even your emotions are unpleasant in the wake of disappointment, it's important to let yourself feel them. Your emotional reaction is an important tool when it comes to processing and coping with disappointment. Emotions offer insight into what the event meant to you.  Your emotions may be negative at first. You may be angry, sad, frustrated, and feel discouraged. Allow yourself to experience these emotions fully but remind yourself they are temporary. Try not to analyze your thoughts. Just let them come on their own and silently acknowledge them in your head. It can help to name the thoughts as they come. For example, think to yourself, "Right now, I'm feeling angry. Right now, I'm feeling scared." It's unnatural to expect yourself to bounce back from a disappointment instantly. You need time to take time to mourn what could have been in order to process the disappointment.  It's normal to feel regret following disappointment. There will be an uncomfortable gap between how you wanted things to turn out and reality. It's important you acknowledge this gap.  Try writing down your feelings in a journal. Many people going through setbacks, like breakups or job loss, find they recover from negative feelings quicker when they confront them directly in writing. Take 5 to 10 minutes to just free write your feelings.  Your feelings and thoughts may not necessarily be rational when mourning. You might see things in a very black and white terms. Keep in mind, when confronting your feelings, that they are not an objective analysis of the situation. While it's okay to feel what you're feeling, remind yourself that your emotional response does not define you as a person. Many people have a tendency to be hard on themselves when dealing with disappointment. It's important to be kind to yourself after...

Article in English: In the fall, after the second flush has come and gone, prune the stems down to an inch above the wood. Leaving them long will create space for snow to collect on the shrub and break it, or wind to blow off weaker branches. Pruning the shrub to prep for winter will make it much more likely to survive the harsh weather. Taking the time to do this will also help to prevent more of the shrub from turning to wood. The parts of the plant that turn to wood won't produce new lavender stalks; the stalks grow from new shoots that emerge from the shrub every year. A big, woody base is prone to cracking or rotting, so the idea is to keep it from getting too woody. Even though you don't want the base to get too woody, you can't cut away old wood on a lavender shrub. Some shrubs rejuvenate themselves when you cut back the wood, but lavender doesn't. What you cut won't grow back. Make sure you never cut the part of the shrub that has turned to wood. If you live in a place with heavy snows and harsh weather, your lavender bush is likely to lose a few branches over the winter. Examine the shrub in early spring, before it begins producing new shoots. Remove any broken or rotting branches to make way for new growth.

Article in English: In the first line, begin your email with "Dear Dr./Mr./Ms./Mrs. Smith" depending on the contact person's name, title, and gender. Do not write "Hey Mary" or "Hello." Use the same formality you would use when writing a professional letter.  If you cannot determine the person's gender, address the person with his/her full name. For example, write "Dear Bobbi Reynolds." If the person you are writing to has a doctorate, be sure to refer to them as "Dr," i.e. "Dear Dr. Reynolds." Tell the recipient your name and your status (e.g. Third year biology major at University X). State how you found out about the internship, whether online, in the newspaper, or through a contact. If you have a mutual contact, state this as soon as possible. For example, you could write: [The program director / My professor / etc.], [title and name], suggested that I contact you. State your potential starting and end dates and whether these are flexible. If you would be available, for example, for a spring semester internship plus a full-time summer internship, share this as well. Specify the number of hours per week you can work. Do you need an internship for course credit? If applicable, indicate you are pursuing an internship primarily for experience and are flexible with job responsibilities and compensation. Write what skills you hope to gain from the internship. Bring up something that you know or think the organization values about itself. Avoid mentioning any negative news stories. Keep your letter positive. For example, you could state: [Name of company] has a reputation for excellence, and I value your commitment to [budgeting free care for abandoned animals].

If necessary, select the text that you want to change, then click the Home tab and review your text formatting options in the "Font" section of the toolbar.  You can change the font of the selected text by clicking the current font's name and then clicking your preferred font. If you want to change the size of the text, click the numbered drop-down box and then click a larger or smaller number based on whether you want to enlarge or shrink the text. You can also change the color, bolding, italicization, underlining, and so on from here. If you want to add a photo to your slide, click the Insert tab, then click Pictures in the toolbar and select a picture. Just like your title slide, you can move items around the slide by clicking and dragging them. Photos in particular can be enlarged or shrunk by clicking and dragging out or in one of their corners. Once you've created each of your presentation's slides, you can proceed to the next part. Remember to keep slides uncluttered and relatively free of distractions. It's best to keep the amount of text per slide to around 33 words or less.

Article in English: In the moments after a spill, grab a sponge, paper towels, or a cloth towel that you don’t mind staining. Use this to blot the affected area, working from the outside in. Be careful just to blot the wine, though, since rubbing it can spread the wine over a wider area, as well as deeper into your jeans’ denim. If you’re able to take your jeans off, do so. Grab some fresh towels or something similar. Stuff them into your jeans’ legs and/or waist, underneath the stain. Create a barrier that will stop the wine from seeping through the front of your jeans to its back, or vice versa. Blotting the wine with towels will get rid of excess liquid, but expect some of the wine to have already penetrated the fabric. To deal with that, cover the stain with salt. Use that to draw as much moisture back out of the denim before it has a chance to dry.

Article in English: In this case, you'll want to avoid the "Administrator" (or "Admin") version of Command Prompt unless you're deleting a file in the "System32" folder. You can open Command Prompt in a variety of ways depending on your version of Windows:  Hold down ⊞ Win and press X, then click Command Prompt above the Start button. Right-click the Start button in the bottom-left corner of the screen, then click Command Prompt in the pop-up window. Type "Command Prompt" into the Start menu search bar (for Windows 8, hover your mouse in the top-right corner of the screen and click the magnifying glass), then click the "Command Prompt" icon when it appears. Open the "Run" app from the Start menu, type in "cmd", and click OK. Doing so will change the location (or "directory") in Command Prompt to your desktop.  There are other ways you can change the Command Prompt directory if need be. Opening Command Prompt in "Administrator" mode will change the directory to the "System32" file. For this reason, do not open Command Prompt in "Administrator" unless your file is in the "System32" folder. Replace "filename.filetype" with your file's actual name and extension.  For example, a picture file named "icecream" would become icecream.png, a text file named "notes" would become notes.txt, and so on. For files with spaces in their names, place quotation marks around the entire file name: "I like turtles.jpg" instead of I_like_turtles.jpg or similar. To delete all files on your desktop that share the same extension (e.g., all text files), type *.filetype where "filetype" is the extension (e.g., *.txt). You will see a new, blank line appear in Command Prompt. Your file is now gone. Since the "del" command removes files directly from your hard drive, you won't need to delete the file again from the Recycling Bin.

Article in English: In this context, standard form is used as a way to change very large or very small numbers into an abbreviated form. This method is only known as "standard form" in British English. In the United States, this numerical format is usually referred to as "scientific notation." Usually, it will either be a very large number or a very small number, but any number with more than one digit to the left of the decimal point can be changed into standard form.   Example A: Change the following into standard form: 429000000000  Example B: Change the following into standard form: 0.0000000078 Locate the decimal point. Shift it from its current position to a point just to the right of the first integer.  Do not forget where the decimal point originally was while doing this.  Example A: 429000000000 => 4.29 Note that there was no visible decimal point in this problem, but the decimal point was implied at the very end of the whole number.   Example B: 0.0000000078 => 7.8 Count the number of places you moved the decimal point. This number will become the index.  When you shift the decimal place to the left, the index will be a positive number. When you shift the decimal place to the right, the index will be a negative number.  Example A: The decimal point was moved 11 places to the left, so the index is 11.  Example B: The decimal point was moved nine places to the right, so the index is -9. To rewrite the number in standard form, you must write the new numerical value multiplied by 10 raised to the value of your index.   Example A: The standard form of 429000000000 is: 4.29 * 1011   Example B: The standard form of 0.0000000078 is: 7.8 * 10-9

Article in English: In this digital age, many people spend several hours a day in front of the computer or looking at a smartphone. This can cause serious damage to your eyesight. For details on how best to avoid and treat digital-related eyesight problems, see Protect Your Eyes when Using a Computer. Sticking to a good diet won't only help improve your eyes with nutrients. A balanced diet will also help you avoid weight-related diseases like diabetes, which is the leading cause of blindness in adults. Talk to your doctor to find out what your ideal weight is, then use diet and exercise to stick as close to that as you can. . Smoking can lead to numerous eye problems like cataracts, macular degeneration, and optic nerve damage. It can also cause diabetes, which damages the eyes. If you smoke you should quit, and if you don't smoke you shouldn't start. UV radiation from the sun can increase your risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. Buy a good pair of sunglasses that blocks out 99-100% of UV rays and wear them whenever you're in the sun. Look for an "ANSI" sticker on sunglasses to ensure that they meet American National Standards Institute guidelines and screen out the required amount of UV rays. Dirty contact lenses can damage your eyes and even lead to vision-threatening infections. By properly caring for your lenses you can protect your eyes from damage.  Wash your lenses after every use with the cleaning solution your eye care professional recommended. Wash your hands before handling your contacts. This ensures that you won't transfer any bacteria from your hands to your lenses. Also wash with a mild, fragrance-free soap. You could also transfer chemicals and fragrances onto your lenses and cause eye irritation. Apply makeup after your lenses are already in, and remove your makeup after your contacts are out. Never sleep with your contacts in, unless they are specially designed for extended use. Small objects can do a lot of damage if lodged in the eye. You should always wear appropriate eye protection during any...

Article in English: In this experiment, the equation for surface tension will be determined by the equation F = 2sd. F is the force in newtons (N), s is the surface tension in (N/m), and d is the length of the needle used in the experiment. Rearranging the equation to solve for surface tension yields s = F/2d.  The force will be calculated at the end of the experiment. Measure the length of the needle in meters using a ruler before starting the experiment. In this experiment, you will use a balance beam and a small needle floating on the surface of water to measure surface tension. The balance beam needs to be well constructed so that you can get an accurate result. You can use many different types of materials for this, just make sure the center beam is something sturdy like wood, plastic, or dense cardboard.  Mark the center of the material to be used for your beam (straw, plastic ruler) and drill or poke a hole through it; this will be the fulcrum point (the point that allows the beam to rotate freely). If you are using a plastic straw you can just poke a pin or nail right through it. Drill or poke a hole at each end of the beam ensuring that they are the same distance from the middle. Thread a string through each hole to serve as holders for the balance dishes. Make sure that there is 1 string for each hole at either end. Rest the nail horizontally between two stacks of books so that the center beam can rotate freely. The dish does not have to be exactly square or round. The dish will be filled with water or another weight, so make sure it is sturdy enough to support this. Hang the box or dish from one end of the beam. Poke small holes in the sides of the dish and thread the string through to hold up the dish. On the opposite side of the beam, tie a paper clip or needle to the end of the string so that it lays flat. For the experiment to work, it is important that the paper clip or needle is horizontal. Before beginning the experiment, you want to make sure that the beam is lying flat. The dish will be heavier than the...

Article in English: In this method, you'll use a coffee can lid to make a circular frame for fabric that will act as the filter. Many different sizes can work, but in general, wide, stiff lids of six inches across work well.  Stiffer plastic lids are best. Flexible, floppy lids are not ideal. Use a pair of scissors or a craft knife to cut out the entire center portion of the lid. When you're done, you should have a stiff plastic hoop. Through the cut-out center part of the lid away. For the stiffest plastic lids, you may need to use a drill, awl, or saw to get started. Be very careful when using these tools. A heavy pair of work gloves and proper eye protection are musts. Now that you have a stiff hoop of plastic, all you need to do is make the filter with a tight layer of porous fabric. Pantyhose or tights work very well. Simply slide a stocking over the hoop, pull it tight, gather the slack at the bottom, and secure it with rubber bands or tape. You can also use embroidery material or screen door mesh like in the section above, but this is a little harder. You can use clamps, binder clips, or tape along the back of the rim to keep these materials reasonably tight. Your pop filter is now ready to use. Use tape or clamps to position it in front of the mic just like you would for the methods above.

Article in English: In this scale, all the degrees are a half step apart. This means that a chromatic scale can be made simply by going up and down the frets in order.  Try this chromatic exercise: First, pick one of the guitar's strings (it doesn't matter which). Start counting a steady 4/4 beat. Play the sting open (no notes fretted) as a quarter note, then the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd frets. Without stopping, play the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th frets. Keep the beat steady and play the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th frets. Continue this pattern until you reach the 12th fret, then go back down! For example, if you're playing on the high E string, your chromatic exercise would look like this:  Measure one: E (open), F (fret 1), F# (fret 2), G (fret 3) Measure two: F (fret 1), F# (fret 2), G (fret 3), G# (fret 4) ...and so on up to the 12th fret, then back down This scale is used often for soloing, and the minor pentatonic is especially popular in rock, jazz, and blues music. The minor pentatonic contains these degrees: root, flat 3rd, 4th, 5th, and flat 7th, plus the octave. It's basically a minor scale without the 2nd or 6th.  For example, if you start on the low E string, the A minor pentatonic scale is: Low E string: A (fret 5), C (fret 8); A string: D (fret 5), E (fret 7); D string: G (fret 5), A (fret 7)  From here, you can keep going, playing the same notes on higher strings: G string: C (fret 5), D (fret 7); B string: E (fret 5), G (fret 8); E string: A (fret 5), C (fret 8) Once you know the minor pentatonic scale, it's very easy to play a related scale called the "blues scale." All you need to do is add the flat 5th scale degree to the minor pentatonic. For example, to turn the A minor pentatonic into the A blues scale, you play: Low E string: A (fret 5), C (fret 8); A string: D (fret 5), Eb (fret 6), E (fret 7); D string: G (fret 5), A (fret 7); G string: C (fret 5), D (fret 7), Eb (fret 8); B string: E (fret 5), G (fret 8); E string: A (fret 5), C (fret 8) Once you reach a scale's octave, you don't always have to go back down.

Article in English: In this simple technique, the only thing you have to do is to find the right keyword on what you are studying or doing and whenever you lose concentration or feel distracted or your mind wanders to something else, start saying that keyword repeatedly in your mind until you come back to the topic at hand.

Article in English: In today’s vastly digital world, many people can go days at a time without using their own handwriting. If you want to develop your own handwriting style, it is important that you practice handwriting daily. Although this may seem like a boring chore, there are ways to make writing fun:  Start a daily handwritten journal. Write letters to your friends and family. Who wouldn’t love to receive a handwritten note? Write your name and practice your signature. While you are in the process of learning new handwriting skills, it is important to concentrate and write slowly. Writing neatly takes a lot of control, so you should not rush your writing while you are trying to change or create a new handwriting style. Once you have successfully developed a personal handwriting style, write a paragraph and ask a family member or friend to read it. If they can read the paragraph without any difficulty, congratulations, you've made your own personal handwriting script! If they have trouble, either practice more, or try to clean up the script. It is important to make sure that your handwriting is legible and easy to read.

Article in English: In what area do you want to be more disciplined? Maybe it's work, studies, staying clean, not following a bad habit, etc. Decide that you will make the changes needed and seek to remain focused on these. Realize that this isn't going to be easy but treat it as a good challenge, not a source of difficulty or deprivation. Once you make the decision to do something, follow through no matter what. Often there will be moments when a lazy desire comes out and inhibits your work. Remember that these feelings are normal, and even the biggest achievers have them. The difference with them is not that they are somehow "better" than you. They just have a habit of catching these moments and deflecting them before they become significant.  Accept that you are the person who brings change about in your life, not anyone else. You're not a three year old who needs direction. Seize the day and do what needs to be done. Normal routine is comfortable and known. Hence, it will likely draw you back in. Use cues to remind yourself that you're falling back into old habits and make decisions to stop each time. Human behavioral traits are influenced by cultures, divergent attitudes, emotions, different values, and other social norms within a person's group or community. Be sure to behave politely and with a common sense in all situations. From budgeting your finances to organizing a get-together, you will need to learn how to manage certain things on your own. It certainly doesn't entail the starting of a Fortune 500 company, but simply a sense of order in life. Do more things at a certain time, and start small. For example, take lunch after 12:00 PM and dinner after 8:00 PM.  Plan your work. Make a timetable and follow it assiduously. Divide work into small and achievable pieces. Sit for no more than an hour at a time. Get up, stretch and walk around. Give your body and your mind a break. You will come back to any task refreshed and physically relaxed. This will not only benefit you, but it will also make you feel good. Cleanliness...

Article in English: In your early communication, you might choose not to share your full name, for example, or details about where you live and work. Although he's your father, he's also a stranger. He may also be reticent about sharing personal details right away.  Try not to start an intense emotional relationship right away. A slow start has been shown to lead to better, more stable long-term outcomes.  You might choose to start by exchanging e-mails, messages, or letters before you meet. This can provide a slower, more measured method of beginning to get to know your father. Two hours is a good length for an initial meeting. Choose a neutral, relatively quiet location, such as a park bench or a calm café during daylight hours, where the two of you can speak to one another easily and express emotion. It's up to you whether to meet with your father alone or ask someone else to come along. Some state and national governments offer an intermediary service, so that you have have a social worker present to mediate your first meeting. This meeting is a chance for you to get answers to questions about your own identity. You might want to plan to ask some questions about your father's life or about your paternal family.  For example, you might say: “I seem be the only one in my family who loves math. Do you like math, too? Did I get that from your side of the family?” Make sure to ask any health-related questions that are important for you. This is a good opportunity to find out about any genetic risks you may carry for things like heart disease, diabetes, or cancer. Notice what you share. It's normal to spend time at this first meeting noticing physical similarities between you and your father. An initial meeting is likely to be very emotional. You may be surprised by what you feel, and so may he. You both need time to reflect on the meeting and think over what you would like to do next. If your father wants to think about the future, you might suggest something small but concrete. For example, you could set up a time to get a cup...

Article in English: In your quest for thicker hair, you might have an array of shampoos and conditioners promising to help your hair grow longer and thicker. Unfortunately, many of these products may be exacerbating the problem. Take a look at the ingredients and toss out the products that have unpronounceable names. To grow thicker hair, you need to avoid dousing your hair with harmful chemicals.  Sodium laurel and laureth sulfates are found in many shampoos. These cleaning agents are also found in dishwashing detergent, and are much too harsh for your hair. Conditioners with silicones can be useful for people with thick hair, but they build up on the hair. For those with thin hair, this build up can weigh the thin hair down, making it look flat and thinner than before. Silicones can only be completely washed out with strong stripping shampoos, which can be damaging. Avoid dyes, bleaches, chemical straighteners, and other harmful treatments, and embrace hair treatments that make your hair thicker instead.  Give yourself a deep conditioning treatment by applying olive oil to your hair, covering it with a shower cap, and letting it sit for a few hours or overnight. Shampoo your hair as usual and enjoy your thick, well-conditioned hair.       Dye your hair using honey. If you want to go a few shades lighter, use honey, which conditions your hair instead of drying it out like most dyes.

Article in English: In your selected plot location, use a shovel to dig a hole that is two to four times the size of the rootball of your mango plant. If you’re planting in area that already has grass, remove the grass in an area a further 2 feet (0.6 m) around the plot space to make room for the tree. Mix a bit of compost (no more than a 50/50 mixture) with the soil you’ve dug up which will be replaced around the roots. Remove the sapling from the container or place your seed in the hole. The base of the tree/sprout should be level with or slightly above the ground. Replace the soil you’ve dug out by filling in the hole around the tree and lightly tamping it. Mango trees grow best in loose soil, so avoid applying too much pressure to the plot as you refill the hole. Wait until you see some growth from the tree before you begin fertilizing the tree. After that, you can fertilize your mango tree once a month for the first year. Use a non-chemical fertilizer — a fertilizer with a 6-6-6-2 mix should be good. You can dissolve the fertilizer in a bit of warm water for application, and keep the solution on hand for your monthly use. Mango trees don’t like a ton of water, but the first week watering should be slightly above average. Water the new tree every other day for the first week, and then water it only once or twice a week for the first year. If there are five or more days of little to no rainfall, then you should water your young mango tree (under 3 years old) once a week until the dry period ends. Weeds can become a serious problem around your mango trees if not dealt with on a regular basis. Make sure to weed regularly, removing any plants that sprout up near the trunk of the tree. Add a thick layer of mulch around the tree to help trap in moisture and prevent weed growth as well. You can add a bit of compost to the mulch as well to help supply the tree with added nutrients. The goal of pruning is to allow for as much space for branches to form, as the fruit will develop at the end of the branches (known as terminal flowers)....

Article in English: Include the rug in part of your regular cleaning routine.  It's safe to vacuum your cowhide rug as you would any other rug in your home.  Vacuuming the rug can help keep it clean and prevent dirt or stains from building up in the first place.  You may also use the hose attachments to vacuum your cowhide rug. However, if the suction is powerful on your vacuum, then you may want to use a dust buster instead. Always vacuum in the direction of the hair. Make sure the brushes are not spinning on your vacuum. It can be a good idea to take the rug outside and shake it off once in a while.  Although your vacuum may get a lot of dirt and dust out of the rug, shaking it off outside can knock loose anything that might have been stuck deeper in the rug.  Shaking the rug off is a simple method that you can use to keep your cowhide rug clean and lasting longer.  Try to avoid beating the rug to break dirt loose. Shake the rug with only enough force to remove dirt. If your cowhide rug is on the floor, it will be subjected to gradual wear and tear over time.  If you never change its position on the floor, it may wear unevenly.  This can cause your rug to look off-balance or make it look more worn out than it should be.  Always remember to reposition the rug to keep any wearing spread out and even. Your cowhide rug may benefit from regular brushing to keep it clean and looking great.  Brushing can be a good method of removing dirt from all areas of the cowhide rug, cleaning places that a vacuum might miss.  Try to include brushing your cowhide rug in your regular cleaning routine to help keep it looking its best.  You can use a brush or broom with hard plastic bristles. Try to brush with the direction of the hair, instead of against it. Although you may use a slight amount of water to steam clean the cowhide rug, you should never get it wet.  If your cowhide rug is ever soaked in water, it may be severely damaged.  Always keep exposure to water at a minimum when cleaning your cowhide rug to help keep it in great condition. ...

Article in English: Incorporating your favorite topics into the conversation will make it easier to keep the conversation going because you’ll have a lot to say about them. You can even make a mental list of topics you like so you never run out of things to say. For example, you could text them something like “I’m watching an old Alfred Hitchcock movie right now, I love classic horror films.” or “I can’t wait for the Super Bowl next weekend, football is my life.” Use the joke to lighten up the conversation and make the other person feel more comfortable texting with you. Just make sure you know your audience; don’t send a crude joke to someone you’re just getting to know (unless they’ve told you they like that sort of thing). Try to keep your jokes light and fun. If you can't think of a joke to send, text them a funny meme or GIF instead. If they posted a funny article you liked on Facebook, mention it to them. If they shared a photo of their meal at a restaurant, ask them where they went to eat. Make sure the other person knows you’re friends on social media before you mention something they shared; you don’t want to come across as intrusive or creepy. Try to send something that’s recent and interesting. If you went on a hike recently and took some beautiful photos at the peak, send a couple of them to the other person. If you have a video of your dog doing something silly, send it to them. Use the photo or video as a way to branch off in the conversation. Make sure you provide some context so they understand what you’re sending them. For example, if you send them a photo a painting you just finished, send them a text along with it that says something like “I just finished this watercolor painting, I’ve been working on it for three weeks. What do you think?”

Article in English: Individuals of any age can develop septic arthritis. However, some people may be more susceptible to this condition. Children, older adults, and illegal drug users are more likely to have septic arthritis. Other risk factors include:  Having existing joint problems such as gout or lupus. Taking medication for rheumatoid arthritis. Having fragile skin that breaks easily. Having a weakened immune system. Having joint trauma such as animal bites or puncture wounds. Having recent surgery.  Taking immunosuppressants. Septic arthritis generally comes on quickly. Symptoms are usually in one joint, though in rare cases may affect two or more areas. One of the most common symptoms of septic arthritis is swelling around the affected joint. This is caused by a buildup of infected fluid around your joint. Watching for swelling in one joint can help you diagnose septic arthritis. Pay attention to any warmth and redness that accompanies the swelling. This can also indicate septic arthritis. The swelling caused by septic arthritis infection can also bring on mild to severe pain. It can also lead to an inability to fully move your joint.  Watching for any pain and immobility in the joint can help you diagnose septic arthritis and seek prompt treatment.  Recognize that your pain may get worse when you move the affected joint. Avoid forcing a painful joint to move. Septic arthritis may also lead to an inability to move the joint.  Listen for crying or whimpering in infants and small children when the joint is moved. This is a sign of pain and may indicate that the child is suffering from septic arthritis. Infections, including septic arthritis, are often accompanied by a fever. This is a sign that something out of the ordinary is happening in the body. Taking the temperature can indicate a fever which may be the result of septic arthritis.  Recognize that chills, muscle aches, sweating, and headache are common symptoms of a fever. These may also accompany a fever with septic arthritis. Seek immediate medical attention if your...

Article in English: Individuals who enter a contract must be legal adults and of sound mental capacity; minors and certain individuals with mental illness do not have the capacity to enter a contract. A contract entered into by someone without the legal mental capacity is void.  Individuals who are intoxicated or otherwise impaired also lack the mental capacity to enter into a contract. Contracts are void if one party was coerced or forced into entering the contract.  To the extent that you can, you should investigate the circumstances that surrounded the contract formation and see if any party exerted pressure on the other party.  Duress can often occur when one party partially performs on a contract and then suddenly refuses to complete its obligations unless the other party pays substantially higher prices.  A contract will also be voided if one party exerted “undue influence” on another. Here, the influence stems from a special relationship between the parties. For example, if an elderly person makes a contract with his caretaker, then an opportunity arises for the caretaker to exert undue influence because the elderly person is totally reliant on his caretaker. A contract will be considered “unconscionable” where there is a gross disparity in bargaining power between the parties and the terms of the contract are oppressive.  For example, one-side terms that establish excessive prices or high penalties may qualify as unconscionable. It isn’t enough for the parties to have unequal bargaining power. The terms must also be grossly unfair. They should “shock the conscience.”

Article in English: Individuals who suffer from conditions such as obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure often become resistant to insulin, which actually causes the body to produce more insulin. These high insulin levels have been linked to increased eye pressure. To solve this problem, patients are advised to avoid certain foods that can trigger an abrupt increase in insulin levels. These foods include: sugar, grains (whole and organic), breads, pasta, rice, cereal and potatoes. Talk with your doctor about starting an exercise routine to ensure that it’s safe for you to do so. Regularly engaging in exercises like aerobics, jogging, brisk walking, biking and strength training may help to to lower your body's insulin levels, thus protecting your eyes from ocular hypertension. Avoid exercises and positions that place you in a head-down position, as this can increase intraocular pressure. This includes some yoga positions, such as headstands. To boost your DHA levels, try to eat to 2-3 servings of these kinds of fish each week. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a type of omega-3 fatty acid that maintains healthy retinal function and prevents pressure from building up in the eyes. DHA (and other omega-3 fatty acids) are found in cold water fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, sardines, shellfish and herring. Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids, which work as antioxidants that protect the body from free radicals. These free radicals weaken the immune system, which can lead to infection and damage to the optic nerves.  Lutein and zeaxanthin also help to lower eye pressure by reducing oxidative damage  around the optic nerve. This is important, as any damage in the optic nerve increases eye pressure. Foods that contain excellent sources of lutein and zeaxanthin include kale, spinach, collard greens, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and raw egg yolks. Try to include at least one of these foods in every major meal of the day. As mentioned above, omega-3 fatty acids help to reduce intraocular pressure. However, foods that are high in trans fats...

Article in English: Individuals with a recent diagnosis of Celiac or extensive damage to the intestinal villi may benefit from targeted or general vitamin supplementation.  If a specific deficiency has been identified, individual pills can be taken under the supervision of a health professional; in other cases, a general multivitamin may be all that is necessary until the villi heal and the deficiencies are corrected. If the villi are extensively damaged, a vitamin injection may be required to correct particular deficiencies. Both gluten intolerant individuals and those with Celiac disease need to begin a dietary regimen that strictly avoids gluten and cross-contaminated food products.  Dietitians can help newly-diagnosed individuals with gluten intolerance or Celiac disease plan a healthy and balanced diet that is free of gluten. Gluten intolerant individuals may not experience adverse reactions to products not explicitly containing gluten. Cross-contaminated grains and food products with only minimal amounts of gluten may not aggravate symptoms in the gluten intolerant, but should still be avoided by those with Celiac disease. Some individuals with Celiac disease also have negative reactions to the topical application of products that contain gluten, such as shampoos, lotion, and make-up. If an individual diagnosed with Celiac disease does not experience a full remission of symptoms after careful dietary avoidance of gluten, avoidance of beauty products and hygiene products with gluten may resolve remaining signs of illness. Individuals with Celiac disease often experience symptoms caused by intestinal inflammation that may mimic full-body allergic reactions and cause skin rashes, swelling, and gastrointestinal distress. In severe cases of Celiac disease, anti-inflammatory steroids may be prescribed to reduce symptoms of the condition until a gluten-free diet enables the body to heal.

Article in English: Individuals with lower self-esteem may be more likely to be sensitive and reactive when left out or socially rejected. Increasing your acceptance of yourself can help to increase your self-esteem, and reduce your negative reactions to being left out.  Self-acceptance can be attained by looking at your strengths and your weaknesses and accepting all of these factors as they currently exist, without necessarily trying to change them immediately. You can start by saying to yourself, “I accept who I am. I was left out, but that is okay. I accept that this happened and I can deal with it.” Focusing on the positives may help you cope with feelings of inadequacy or rejection. For example, you may be skilled in an area that helped you identify you were being left out. People who pick up on non-verbal cues are more aware of being left-out because they are advanced at reading the nonverbal communication that suggest they are being left out. These individuals are better at telling whether someone is faking a smile, or displaying genuine happiness. Additionally, some people argue that individuals who are left out may become more creative due to feeling different or unique. Think about and list the possible positive components of being left out. Some examples might include that you get to focus on yourself, and it may help you to identify which friends are worth keeping versus people who may not be trustworthy or fair. Being or feeling left out can often result in negative thoughts about yourself such as, “Nobody likes me,” or, “I’m not good enough.” These types of thoughts can lead to negative emotions such as shame and humiliation.  In order to reduce the likelihood of experiencing negative emotions, you can train yourself to think more realistically by catching yourself when you think negative thoughts.  Identify the negative thoughts that come up when you are left out, and purposefully change the thought to a more realistic perspective. For example, if you think, “Nobody likes me,” this is an example of a negative...

Article in English: Inevitably, things will come up in your life that are largely or entirely out of your control. This is just part of life. While you cannot change certain circumstances, you can change your attitude towards them. Trying to control the things you can't can often backfire and make you more stressed out. Every time you think of something that you cannot control, write it on a piece of paper. Place it in a box and move on. Letting go of stressful situations or people will allow you to work on the things you can control. Think about how you will make today better, instead of always working toward a future goal. If you live too far ahead in the future all the time, you are missing out on life. Life only happens in the present moment. While this isn't a recommendation to live every day like it is your last, because every day is not actually your last, it is a good idea to spend some time each day enjoying the present moment. To live more in the present, you can:  Do only one task at a time; avoid multitasking. Put some space in between your day to day tasks to give you some time to reflect and not feel too rushed. Set aside 5-10 minutes each day to do absolutely nothing at all but sit in silence. Eat slowly and focus on the flavor and texture of your food. Get an activity guide for your city, ask some friends, or dig around online for fun things to do near you. Take a risk and try some new activities. Go by yourself or ask a friend or your significant other. What matters most is that you are trying something novel and being open-minded about it. Trying something new can have a number of benefits, such as:  Giving you courage by facing the unknown. Fighting off boredom. Allowing you to grow via new experiences. Take a class online or in person or watch some free lectures online. A lifelong learning center can provide an inexpensive opportunity to learn photography, social media or another skill you've been wanting to master. You can try these websites to search for classes or lectures that interest you: ...

Article in English: Ingrown hairs may sometimes cause skin to look darker. Vitamin C is essential for normal wound healing and it also has mild bleaching properties, so applying lemon juice may help to improve the look of your ingrown hair scars. To use lemon juice, soak a cotton ball or Q-tip in lemon juice and apply the juice to the scar. Let the lemon juice dry on the scar and then rinse the scar with some warm water.  Repeat this process once per day. Ingrown hairs can tighten up skin tissue due to the inflammation that they cause. You can massage aloe vera gel into your ingrown hair scars to help soften the tissue. Aloe vera has been shown to help with burn scars, but it may also be helpful for scars caused by ingrown hairs. Aloe vera reduces inflammation, especially in the early stages of scar formation. Aloe vera may also help to increase the elasticity of new tissue. To use aloe vera, use your fingers to apply a thin layer of fresh aloe or pure aloe vera gel to a scar. Leave the gel on the scar and allow it to dry. Green tea may also help to get rid of ingrown hair scars when applied to your skin. Green tea has antioxidant properties, which may promote healing of tissues and reduce the appearance of scars.  To use a green tea bag, steep a bag of organic green tea in hot water for about three minutes.  Then, remove the tea bag from the water and gently squeeze out the excess water. Place the tea bag directly on the ingrown hair scar and hold it there. You can repeat this process three to four times per day for 10 – 15 minutes. As an alternative, you can also soak a cotton towel in green tea and use it as a compress. Squeeze out the excess tea and place it over ingrown hair scars for 10 – 15 minutes, three to four times per day. Lavender essential oil may also help ingrown hair scars heal. Lavender oil seems to have anti-inflammatory properties that may promote scar healing. To use lavender oil, place two to three drops of lavender oil in two tablespoons of castor oil and massage the oil into your ingrown hair scars. ...

Article in English: Initially, because of your own sunny attitude, you might not be alert to the pessimistic bent of another person. It is helpful to understand these patterns in order to be able to detect them in yourself. Signs of negative thinking include:  Thinking that things aren't going to work out well. This is also known as catastrophizing, or thinking the worst will happen. Believing that the negative outcomes are permanent and inescapable. May blame self or others for things not turning out well. A possible reason for the existence of pessimistic thinking is depression. If this is the case, the pessimist may need psychological or medical treatment.  See How to cope with depression for an explanation of the symptoms. If you are concerned that your friend or family member has a mental health issue you can express your worry to her and offer treatment as an option. Simply say, "I noticed you seem sad (or angry, or negative) lately, have you ever considered talking to a professional about it? I think this might help." Be careful not to be pushy or you may scare her off. The more you know, the less personal it might feel when pessimistic thinking is around you. With education comes understanding and an increased ability to cope. One option is to read the book, Learned Optimism, by Martin Seligman. Dr. Seligman is a psychologist and expert in the field of positive psychology. He offers ways to identify if you are more optimistic or pessimistic, as well as ways to cope. This can be a useful resource both for the pessimist and optimist, and teaches tools to learn how to be more optimistic.

Article in English: Insert the spine and crossbars, and attach the string per the instruction manual. Make sure to check the guidelines to determine the ideal wind speed for the kite. Hold up your kite by the bridle. The bridle is the two or three strings that attach to the kite and the kite line. Hold it up until it catches the wind. As soon as your kite catches the wind, let go of the bridle and begin to let some line out. The line should not be slack, but taut with a little give. Pull on the line to point the kite up. This will help the kite climb higher into the air. Tell your friend to hold the kite and walk downwind about 50 to 100 feet away from you. Have them hold the kite up in the air in front of them. Once the wind picks up, signal your friend to release the kite. As the kite gains altitude, pull on the line hand over hand until it is stable. If your kite sinks, then this means there is not enough wind. If you can, lower the bridle half of an inch down.  If your kite nose dives or spins toward the ground, then the wind is too strong. In this case, move the bridle a half inch higher. Do this slowly to land your kite. As you reel it in, make sure the line is taut with a little give. As you reel in your line, walk toward your kite until it has landed safely on the ground. If your kite starts to spin, then the line is too taut. You will need to give it some slack by letting out the line.

Article in English: Inspect the age and quality of your bear. Also check the materials from which it is made, as well as those that adorn it. Since a machine-wash will be much rougher on the toy than a hand-wash, err on the side of caution and hand-wash it if you determine that your bear might not survive the machine. Do not machine-wash the following:  Old teddy bears, those that are delicate by design, and those that have become fragile due to lots of use. Bears that are made of wool, mohair, alpaca fur, or rayon. Any with attached add-ons like sequins, buttons, or eyes that have been glued on. If your bear has any clothes than can be removed, take them off to prevent tangling and to make sure that the bear itself is washed thoroughly. Trim any loose threads and sew up any tears or holes so the problem doesn’t grow any worse during the wash. Give your bear extra protection by closing it within a sealable pillowcase or mesh bag. First, add an appropriate amount of detergent to your washer. Then set the machine’s cycle to “Hand-Wash” or “Delicate.” Finally, select cold or warm water. Then start the wash cycle.  Do not use hot water, since this may ruin the bear. Do not include items that are excessively dirty or whose colors may bleed in the same wash cycle as your bear.

Article in English: Inspect the wheel for screws. Use a screwdriver to take out any screws securing the wheel. If the screws are undamaged, set them aside—although your replacement wheel likely came with screws, you can use them if needed. Once you've unscrewed the luggage, the only thing keeping the wheel to the luggage should be a small metal clip attached to a bolt on either side. Pull out the clip and bolts, setting them aside next to the screws. The clip should be located in the center of the wheel. Take the old wheel out and dispose of it. Place the new wheel into the wheel well and test its placement. If it feels secure, you can screw the wheel into the luggage.  The wheel well is the hole left by the old wheel after you remove it. If the wheel feels too tight or loose, you may have chosen the wrong wheel size. Put the bolts on both sides of the wheel and slide the clip through to secure them. Use your screwdriver to tighten any screws back in place. Test the new wheel by rolling the luggage back and forth—if it glides smoothly, you have replaced the wheel correctly. If the wheel feels wobbly, try tightening the screws. You may have chosen the wrong wheel size if it still feels wobbly or does not move.

Article in English: Instagram only verifies profiles that they believe are operated by the individual in question (or a social media manager) and not a fan or impersonator. That means that if you want to receive that blue check, it will be necessary to post things that prove your account actually belongs to you, like selfies, pictures of your family or pets, and other personal content.  Anyone can share a generic landscape photo or repost a meme, so try to focus on original content that could only have come from you. Linking to your other social media accounts can also help show that you're the genuine article, especially if they're already verified. Go up to the "Settings" tab on Facebook and click "General," followed by "Page Verification.” Then, hit "Get Started." You'll need to provide your phone number so that Facebook can send you a unique verification code, which you'll use to sign in. Once you do this, the people in charge will get to work processing your request.  Just like on Instagram, it's important to have plenty of authentic, personal content on your Facebook profile to show that it's the real deal. Getting your personal or company account verified on Facebook can give you a huge boost towards securing Instagram verification. Take steps to get your name known outside of Instagram. If you're a performer, for instance, you might upload videos of yourself in action to YouTube, then use Twitter to promote upcoming shows and appearances. The more recognizable you or your brand are elsewhere, the more likely it is that that recognition will pay off with Instagram verification.  Not just anyone can get verified on Instagram. Typically, you'll have to have either celebrity status or a massive following in order to even be considered.  Most companies also have to be relatively well-known in order to be approved for verification. If you represent a company, try posting shareable content, like viral ads promo codes for ongoing sales, to help bolster your image on social media. If you happen to have a friend or family member...

Article in English: Installing Debian on your machine will clear your entire hard drive and reformat it, erasing all data in the process. Store your important information on a removable drive before beginning the installation. Debian is distributed through www.debian.org, and the necessary files can be found on the "Getting Debian" page. From the Debian website, choose the installation image that is suited for your processor architecture. If you don't know what type of processor your machine has, choose the "32-bit PC netinst iso" image, as this one is compatible with common 32-bit Intel or AMD processors. Once you have downloaded the image file (it will have a ".iso" extension), burn it to a disc using disk imaging software. There are several free applications available that can perform this task, though your computer must have a CD-R or DVD-R drive. Alternatively, you could burn the image to a USB drive if your computer supports booting from a USB drive. Once you mount the .iso file onto a disc, leave the disc in your optical drive and restart the computer. The computer will boot from the disc and take you directly to the Debian installation wizard. Debian includes an option that lets you run the operating system completely from the CD or DVD, without overwriting any information on your hard drive (this option is called Debian Live). Choose this option from the installation wizard if you want to test Debian before installing it completely. Note that performance will be quite slow with this option. When you are ready to proceed with the full installation, follow the prompts in the installation wizard to set up the operating system as desired. You will be given the option to partition your hard drive in case you want to run Debian alongside another operating system such as Microsoft Windows.

Article in English: Installing the latest available updates may help fix errors you're experiencing, and will keep your computer secure and stable. Windows Update will handle all of the checking and installing. Open the Start menu or screen and type "windows update" to find the Windows Update utility. In Windows 10, you can find the Windows Update utility in the "Update & Security" section of the new Settings menu. The amount of space on your hard drive doesn't normally have a massive impact on your performance, but if you dip below 20% free space on the drive Windows is installed on, you may notice some slowdown. Windows relies on this free space to move and store temporary files, and without it your computer can slow to a crawl. Regularly clearing out old files can help keep your system running smoothly. Open the Computer/This PC window (⊞ Win+E) and find your Windows drive (usually C:). This drive should have at least 20% free space available for optimum performance. Open the Start menu or screen and type "disk cleanup" to find the utility. Select your Windows drive and wait for it to be analyzed. Check the boxes for each of the types of files you want to remove. Each entry will display how much space you will reclaim by deleting them. Check your Downloads and Documents folders to see if you're stockpiling old files you don't need anymore. As you use your computer, you'll likely accrue a variety of programs that you used once but then forgot about. These old programs can take up a lot of space on your drive, and some may be running in the background, taking up system resources. Regularly uninstalling old programs can help keep your computer running smoothly.  Open the Control Panel and select "Uninstall a program" or "Programs and Features." Make your way through the list of installed programs and remove the ones you don't use anymore. Highlight a program and click "Uninstall" to remove it.
