Article in English: Try for a quiet place where the two of you can be alone. Take him/her to a restaurant, or to a garden, or to a sweeping outdoor scene when the sun is setting. Make sure that they feel safe and comfortable here. The particular place will depend on who you're confessing your love to. Choose a place that is special to both of you. Confessing your love can be a big deal for both people involved, and it's important to make it special. You can plan it out, or you can wait for an organically intimate moment. The moment might be sweepingly dramatic, or it might be wonderfully simple. Say it when you feel truly inspired.  This might happen during a beautiful sunset after a perfect day together, or when "your song" comes on during a big school dance, or when you're both laughing together, happy simply to be with one another. Watch romantic scenes in movies and shows for inspiration. Analyze the scenes when the protagonist confesses their love. Understand the mood that you want to strike. You can make a dramatic public confession, if you feel that it's appropriate. Remember, however, that the person you love may not appreciate the unexpected attention. This is especially important if you aren't sure how they will react. If you are alone together, then you give the person the space to respond more comfortably. Arrange to meet the person, if you don't already have a date to meet up. Ultimately, in the moment, you will need to let things take their course. However, you can certainly set the scene so that your confession is romantic and timely. Make sure that you won't be rushed, and that you know what you are going to say. You can also write your confession into a letter, if you cannot be with the one you love. This method can still be very intimate, even if it is a little more abstract. Don't confess your love when someone is distracted with something else, or worried about something, or preparing to leave. The words will be more powerful if you're gazing into each other's eyes. If you're already having a special moment...

Article in English: Try leaving your neighborhood for a few days. You do not have to spend a ton of money or go to an exotic location. Sometimes a slight change in location is all you need to stop worrying and forget about your troubles.   Visit a friend in another near-by city. Book a bed and breakfast in the country for yourself. Look for a host through a couch-sharing site and check out a new town through the eyes of a local. We've all had this experience: You remember that you need to call your credit card company, so you head into the kitchen to grab your phone. Suddenly, in the kitchen, you can't recall why you went there. One study has shown that by simply heading into another room, we are prone to forgetfulness. Interestingly, you can harness this forgetting power to temporarily forget your troubles as well.  When you have a troubling thought, simply get up and walk through a doorway into another room. Repeat this anytime a troubling thought appears. If there is a specific thought that you'd like to forget, you can force yourself to do so through “active forgetting.” Just the same way you can train yourself to remember something, studies show that you can train yourself to forget.  Anytime an unwanted thought comes to mind, push it away. It may help to say, “No. I'm not going to think about that.” Repeat this tactic again and again. Just as with remembering, forgetting will require a bit of practice and time. You will begin to forget details of this memory. Eventually the memory will become very dull. Repeat a troubling thought so much that it becomes boring to you. Diffuse the power of troubling thoughts by making them commonplace. Isolate a bothersome thought or idea and repeat it out loud over and over again.  For example, if you are troubled by your performance at work, you can say, “I will lose my job. I will lose my job, I will lost my job.” With enough repetition the troubling thought will become strange, dull, or even comedic. With practice, this thought will no longer bother you. Shifting your focus to what you...

Article in English: Try lying in bed one night and ask your partner to share one of their sexual fantasies with you. Then, you can share yours. This is an excellent way to broach the subject of role playing and can be a sexy experience for both of you. If the thought of mentioning role playing to your partner in a face-to-face conversation is completely terrifying, then send your lover an email or text that details your erotic fantasy. If this is your first time role playing with your partner, it is a good idea to keep it simple. Do not choose an elaborate role that requires a lot of “acting.” Instead, you could pretend that you are strangers who are meeting for the first time. Meet at a restaurant for dinner and then head to a hotel afterwards for a night of role playing fun! Choose roles that allow you to incorporate different power dynamics. This type of sexual role play is a common turn on for many people. For example, you could try Professor/Student, Doctor/Patient, or Police Officer/Criminal roles. In these types of scenarios you can incorporate mild punishment for any "naughty" behaviour. Some people like to borrow ideas from their favourite fiction or television shows. These roles often require more elaborate costumes, but can be a lot of fun to play around with. Try acting out a sexy scene from Game of Thrones, or create your own erotic spin on stories like Harry Potter, Twilight, or any superhero movie.

Article in English: Try not to get frustrated or angry in front of other students. As a role model, you want to show them that optimism and a good attitude are the keys to success, even in difficult situations. For example, if your fellow students are complaining because the upcoming dance got cancelled, instead of complaining with them, you could say something positive like, "I know it's upsetting that the dance is cancelled, but we should all get together and think of something else we could do for fun that night." Whether you're interacting with another student, a teacher, or a member of the school faculty, be respectful. Other students will be looking to you to see what’s acceptable behavior, so set a good example for them. As a prefect, if you’re disrespectful to someone, chances are that other students will think it’s OK to act the same way. Participate in class and hand in your homework on time. If you’re struggling with a subject, talk to your teacher or get help from a tutor. Other students will notice the effort you’re putting into your school work. Don’t lie to students or your teachers, and don't make up excuses. If you forgot to do your homework, tell the truth. Show students that being honest, even when you're afraid of the consequences, is better than lying.

Article in English: Try to avoid scheduling the activity between the hours of 10 AM and 4 PM when the sun’s UV rays are the strongest.  In addition to time of day, also keep in mind that UV rays are more intense:  At higher altitude During the late spring and summer months Closer to the equator When reflected off of surfaces such as snow, ice, water, sand, and concrete In tandem with the following steps, protective clothing can be one of the most effective ways to protect yourself from overexposure to UV rays during outdoor activities.  The ideal clothing to protect you from the sun includes:  Bright- or dark-colored fabrics, which have a much higher Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) than light-colored clothing. Densely woven, lightweight fabrics.  If you can see light through the fabric, this also means that UV light is getting through to your skin! Long sleeves and long pants will decrease skin exposure and provide the most protection.  If you are wearing shorts, try to wear a longer pair that covers most of the thighs.  For shirts, collared shirts can also help protect your neck from tanning. Many brands specifically designed for sun protection offer their UPF rating on the label.  Seek out a UPF rating of 30 and above for substantial protection from the sun. The skin on your face and your eyes are very sensitive to sun exposure, so additional precautions must be taken to protect them during outdoor activities.  While many hats and sunglasses will help curb some of the risks, to most effectively reduce exposure risks with the use of a hat and sunglasses, choose:  A wide-brimmed hat (minimum of 3”), which will keep the sun off of the face, neck (front and back), and ears, as well as any bald spots or parts in the hair.  Like protective clothing, the most effective hats will also be made of tightly-woven fabric that you cannot see light through when held up to the sun. Sunglasses that provide 100% UV ray protection, particularly models indicating that they provide UVB and UVA protection.  Do not assume that dark-tinted lenses...

Article in English: Try to be more creative and think outside the box.  Your love interest is attracted to your mysterious demeanor, and creativity is a sign of a confident, mysterious person.  Creativity shows that you can be playful and disciplined and that you view the world from a unique perspective.  Share that uniqueness with the object of your affection to maintain the mystery.  Creativity doesn’t just mean artistic.  You might not have an artistic bone in your body and that’s just fine.  Be creative with your answers to people, your solutions to problems, or even how you spend time with your partner. For example, rather than suggesting dinner and a movie, be creative and take your partner to a place they’ve never been, like a state park, for a picnic and bring a book of your favorite poems to read with them. Being unpredictable lends to your mysterious demeanor.  This doesn’t mean that you should act of character with your love interest or confuse them.  Even worse, hurt their feelings.  Being unpredictable simply means defying your own routines and patterns every now and then.  This will demonstrate that there are still some secrets up your sleeve and keep it interesting.  For example, if you always grab a coffee on your way to work, decide to go for a jog instead one day. Or, if you always wait for your love interest to call you, surprise them with a phone call. Your love interest is attracted to you and perhaps you’ve taken your relationship to another level.  Remember, you can be mysterious and still reciprocate feelings and interest.  People tend to feel more attracted to those who they feel are attracted to them, so reciprocate their interest in you. For example, you can still be mysterious and bring your love interest flowers or send a simple text that says, “thinking of you.” Small gestures mean a lot, especially from a mysterious person.

Article in English: Try to be open to the way your parents feel about the situation and the reasons they have. More likely than not, you are not the only reason why your parents are acting mean. Just like you, they have their own stresses, worries, and relationships to manage, and it is inevitable that some of these tensions may boil over onto you. This is just part of being a family.  Are there ways to help your parents deal with their stress? Maybe doing 1-2 extra chores will ultimately help them relax and make everyone happier. Are your parent's concerns or "meanness" really a big deal in the grand scheme of things? Are they just in a bad mood because of work, or are they truly cruel? Outside of small incidents, ask yourself if your parents otherwise support, love, and care for you? All parents can get a little angry, but this doesn't mean they hate you. If you jump into a fight every time you believe your parents are being mean, you'll just keep the cycle of anger turning. Everyone has tough days, gets into a grumpy mood, and mistakenly thinks someone hurt them. If you lash out at your parents every time they seem angry you'll just develop a pattern of meanness. Instead, just be yourself and pick your battles wisely. Go off by yourself for a few minutes if you're upset. Chances are good that, in private, you'll both forget about why you're angry. Be the happy one in your household. Having this aura of positive, supportive thinking is infectious, and is proven to prevent bullying and anger from most people. All it requires are a few simple things:  Thank your parents daily for something. A dinner, a vacation plan, a new softball glove -- all that matters is your gratitude. Let your parents know that you love them. A simple but thoughtful card on their birthdays, a quick hug before school, a brief "I love you" before bed here and there -- these little things add up and diffuse meanness better than anything else. Apologize when you mess up. Get in front of their anger and own up to your mistake. If you take charge of the...

Article in English: Try to buy organic foods and avoid genetically modified foods at all costs. Hippies find that it is better for the earth and healthier for the body. Hippies nowadays and in the past ate to sustain themselves and the planet. A reason hippies eat this way is that they treat their bodies like a temple. This is why you should pick out the purest ingredients available.  Growing your own produce and raising livestock assures the highest quality, freshest food for your family. If this is not possible, you will have to rely on others to supply your needs. Check labels at your local grocery store. They usually have labelling on the box saying that the ingredients are certified organic. Visit health-centered grocery stores to increase your chances of finding quality ingredients. One way to support your local community is to buy produce and meats from local farmers. You can do this through a local farmer's market, by subscribing to a farm-to-table program, or working directly with individual local farmers. If you have the time, it is best to become involved in some way with your community and, especially, the local farmers.  Modern hippies value sustainability and part of this involves avoiding the processed food industry as much as possible.  Growing your own food is also a viable option for getting the best quality. Volunteer with a local garden to get started into the local gardening community. Vegetarianism isn't for everyone, but a lot of hippies are vegetarian. Hippies go vegetarian because of their love for animals and their stance against violence. Industrial cattle farming is one of the highest producers of toxic emissions. It is better for your body and the environment to eat a plant-based diet.  If you are struggling with giving up meat, you can take steps to lower your weekly meat intake. Start slowly, and progressively work to cut it from your diet. If you do eat meat, purchase hormone-free meats. One way to treat your body like a temple is to cut out toxins from your life. Dietary toxins can contribute to...

Article in English: Try to chop up your materials into small, 2 inch (5.1 cm) pieces so that it will decompose faster. Exercise caution when using shredded leaves. These items tend to form clumps that are harder to get rid of in the winter, because cold temperatures tend to slow down decomposition. Decomposition of kitchen scraps can be sped up by throwing all these items into a blender with some water, then pouring them into the pile. If this method is unappealing, you can also bag the kitchen scraps and put them in the freezer before adding them to the compost pile. The process of freezing and thawing out the scraps will help them decompose faster as well. Larger compost piles perform better than smaller ones during the winter months because, even if the outer layers are frozen through, there may still be some decomposition going on in the center. This is because bigger compost piles tend to be self-insulating, with the outer layers protecting the inner ones. In the winter, deliberately layering green and brown materials in the compost pile will help create heat pockets of faster decomposing green materials under the brown materials that decompose much more slowly. This keeps the pile warm. Try to take a hands-off approach to compost during periods of cold weather. Every time gardeners disturb their pile heat escapes and productivity is lessened. If you find yourself irrigating your trees and shrubs during the winter, you should also water your compost pile until it is damp. The microorganisms that break down the items in the pile need moisture to be fully functional. During the winter, tarps can be used to help the compost piles retain moisture and trap heat. They are easy to remove when new materials need to be added to the bin. In colder areas, snow can serve to insulate the compost pile from freezing temperatures and can be left on until you choose to add more to the compost pile. Those living in places where it does not snow or only snows infrequently may want to use straw bales for insulation instead. Gardeners in cold...

Для сохранения влажности изолируйте компостную кучу. Подумайте о покупке готовой компостирующей установки. Если вы считаете, что процесс компостирования остановился, дождитесь потепления.


Article in English: Try to drink at least 10 full glasses of water each day for a week after your sunburn. This will help your body to re-hydrate which will, in turn, aid in the healing process. Drinking water while you are out in the sun will also help you to avoid heatstroke and other heat-related medical conditions. At the same time, make sure to avoid consuming any alcohol during your recovery period. This will only dehydrate you and dry out your skin even more. This is the traditional go-to remedy when dealing with a burn. The gel of the aloe vera plant has natural anti-inflammatory properties and can speed up the healing process if applied correctly. You can buy a store-brand aloe, but it is best to use the gel directly from a plant when possible.  To remove the gel from a plant, break off a single full stem. Cut the stem open lengthwise. Open the stem and scrape out the gel using a spoon or your finger. Apply the gel to your skin between 2-3 times a day.  Even if you do not have the real aloe vera plant, you can still use the gel. Rub the gel onto your sunburn(s) at least 2-3 times a day, including before you go to sleep. For extra relief, you could also fill up an ice cube tray with aloe vera and freeze it, making aloe cubes that you can rub on your burn. (Wrap the cubes in a light hand towel before touching them to your skin). You can also apply aloe gel to your face in an overnight mask. Get out a small bowl and mix equal parts baking soda and cornstarch. Add cool water until it reaches a thick enough consistency to apply to your skin. Both of these primary ingredients may take some of the redness out the burned areas. Rinse the paste and reapply as needed to soothe your skin. You can use the leaves and bark of the witch hazel plant for medicinal purposes. The “tannins” contained in witch hazel may help to repel bacteria and promote healing. Look for a vial of witch hazel extract at your local natural foods store. Use a cotton ball to apply the extract to your skin. You can fill up a bottle and spray the vinegar...

Article in English: Try to eat healthy, fiber-rich foods and lean proteins. Foods that are high in dietary soluble fiber can help to dissolve uric acid crystals. The fiber helps to absorb the crystals, removing them from your joints and helping to eliminate them from your kidneys. You should also avoid saturated fats, like cheese, butter and margarine. Reduce your sugar intake, including high-fructose corn syrup and soft drinks, all of which can promote gout attacks. Instead try to include:  Oats Spinach Broccoli Raspberries Whole-wheat items Brown rice Black beans Cherries (Cherries can reduce gout attacks. One study showed that eating 10 cherries a day protected people from gout flare ups.) Low-fat or non-fat dairy Naturally occurring substances in food called purines are converted to uric acid by your body. Studies have shown that eating foods high in purines could lead to a gout attack within a few days of eating the foods. Avoid high-purine foods including:  Meats: red meat and organ meats (liver, kidney and sweetbreads) Seafood: tuna, lobster, shrimp, mussels, anchovies, herring, sardines, scallops, trout, haddock, mackerel Drinking six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day has been shown to decrease gout attacks. Liquids generally count toward water recommendations, but it's best to stick to water. You should also minimize or cut out drinking alcohol since it can metabolize and increase uric acid levels. If you do want to drink something other than water, look for drinks that aren't high in sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, or caffeinated. Sugar can increase your risk of gout and caffeine can be dehydrating. You can still drink coffee in moderation (two to three cups a day). Some studies show that coffee may reduce the levels of uric acid in your blood, although the studies do not show a decrease in gout attacks. Some studies show that vitamin C may reduce the levels of uric acid in your blood, although the studies do not show a decrease in gout attacks. It's suggested that vitamin C can help your kidneys excrete uric...

Article in English: Try to encourage your loved one to be as active as possible. When they feel disturbed or has the urge to cut themself, they need to find a more positive, active outlet to let it out. Suggest doing rigorous exercise, such as running, dancing, aerobics, swimming, tennis, or kickboxing. These can provide an outlet for all of their sadness, aggression, or unhealthy emotion that leads to cutting. Offer to join your friend and exercise together.  To help calm the mind, they can also try yoga, meditation, or tai chi. These exercises can help her get a new lease on life, with a fresh, energetic, confident approach that will help them not want to cut themself. Exercise also releases endorphins into their body, which are the chemicals in the body that makes them feel good. When a person cuts themself, endorphins rush to the area of the cut and are released into the blood stream, which cause feelings of relaxation, happiness, and relief. Exercise provides them with a positive way to release endorphins instead. Low self-esteem is one reason that drives a person to cut. You need to help them understand that cutting will not and cannot improve their self-image but accomplishments and achievements will. Help them prove to themself that they are amazing and full of accomplishments. This can be through their studies, work, friends, or volunteering. When they become aware of their accomplishments, their self-esteem will go up and they will feel better about themself. This should lead them to not want to cut themself. You can help your friend realize they are full of accomplishments by sharing with them a list of their positive attributes and accomplishments. Pandering to them will not make her want to change their self-harming behavior. Do not try to drill the person with lectures and sermons that go on for a long time. Keep your talks small and simple. Let the person take in and digest whatever it is you told them. Give them the time to contemplate.  Have your small pep talks at a location that is pleasant, peaceful, in the...

Article in English: Try to feel positive about school and learning while also addressing any underlying depression or anxiety. This can help you feel confident that you'll be able to succeed in class.  If you have a setback, see it as an opportunity to learn and bounce back rather than a defeat. Remind yourself that it's normal to get one bad grade or struggle with one subject. This is how you'll learn to be strong. Remind yourself of the benefits of an education. You're learning to have a more nuanced understanding of the world while assuring yourself future success. Many people neglect sleep in college, but you're unlikely to be an academic success if you're tired all the time. Consistently running on less than 4 hours of sleep will inhibit your ability to concentrate.  Stick to a sleep schedule. Try to go to bed and wake up at roughly the same time each day. Avoid electronic screens before bed, as these can stimulate brain activity and make sleep difficult. If you're unorganized, this will make everything about school more difficult. Try to keep all your course materials well organized. This will make studying and doing homework easier.  Invest in a large planner. Store material from different courses in different folders in your planner. Never throw anything out until the end of the semester. You never know when you may need something. Have a folder or section of your desk for old papers, notes, and other class materials. A healthy diet can help give you the energy you need to earn high marks. Avoid processed foods and sugary foods. Have a salad for lunch instead of a slice of pizza. Snack on things like fruit, vegetables, and nuts over chips and other junk foods. You will be surprised by how much more energetic and confident you feel when eating a diet of healthy foods.

Article in English: Try to figure out which aspects of your life your parents are bothering you in.  You won't be able to get them to leave you alone completely, but you could figure out what area of your life is most important to be your time not theirs. Keep track of your time with your parents for about a week.  Write down specific events or conversations that are especially bothering you. Relationships are a two-way street. If you are acting rude towards your parents, they could feel inclined, out of concern, to become more involved with you.  If you continue to get into a conversation or argument you dislike, then recall your language and tone. Is this different than your normal speaking voice? Even if you consider yourself to be a friendly person, recognize if this behavior is causing your parents to interact with you more than you'd like. Your parents could be going through a hard time at work or even experiencing a rough patch in their relationship.  Try asking your parents how their day was.  Inquiring about what they are going through could help lead them to admit they're recent over-involvement with you. If you are only experiencing annoyances with one parent, try asking their friend or your other parent/guardian about the parent in question.  They may have good advise on what is bothering them. If you have an older sibling, then find out if they went through the same thing.  Ask your friends about their relationships and inquire if you're problems are common among your group of friends.  Meet with a trusted mentor (teacher, adviser, babysitter, etc) and ask them about your parents being overbearing. If you are still unsure about your dilemma, consult with a guidance councilor or ask your parents for a therapist. If this feeling is a recent development, then try waiting a week or two to see if their actions persist.  Issues can fluctuate into an overwhelming period of time, and sometimes during this time people need help or the company of others. Remember your parents are also human beings and deserve your patience.

Article in English: Try to find a cozy spot close to a heater. Don't build your fort too close to a window or entrance, because that is where all the cold air comes from. Try to build your fort near a fan or air conditioning unit. You can build your fort near an open window, but only if the window is shady and there is no sun coming in through it. An open window may bring in a cool, fresh breeze, but it can also let the hot sun in! If you can build your fort in a basement, then even better! Basements are nice and cold during the summer, and the floor will keep you cool. Anything too heavy, such as a comforter or a thick blanket will be too heavy and make your fort fall apart. If the base of your fort is made from chairs, tables, or sofas, then you should be able to drape a heavy blanket or comforter without the fort falling apart. Some seat cushions may be strong enough to hold up a heavy blanket or comforter, but they will need to be leaning against something. The cushions that come from the seats of sofas and armchairs make great walls, because they are stiff and shaped like blocks. They can stand up on their own without much help. The pillows that you use to sleep on don't make very good walls, but they are great for sitting on! Use them inside your fort to make things more comfy. Do not build your fort so that it is blocking a door. If something bad happens, you will be in trouble. Blocking doors may keep someone from coming to help you if something happens.

Article in English: Try to find a difficult situation in your life that you may have recently encountered.  You will use this example to better learn how you approach stressful situations, how you think of them, and then change your approach to improve self-esteem.  Pay careful attention to your thoughts about the situation. Take note of any negative thoughts as you do this exercise. Once you have identified negative thoughts in regards to any chosen stressful situation, you can start to detach from them.  The main goal is to realize that they are ultimately just words and that you can step back and simply watch them without identifying with them.  Try writing your negative thoughts down, with you opposite hand or imagine them written on another object.  This is to help you realize them as being something you can watch, removed from yourself. View your negative thoughts as something you can detach from. One way to stop negative thoughts' power over you when you recognize they are running through your head is to simply say, "STOP!" until they do stop. Remind yourself that you have learned ways of thinking in the past that are harmful, and you're learning new ways of thinking. Then replace with positive thoughts. After you are able to detach from your negative thoughts, you can step beck and let them happen without being swept up with them.  Realize that you are able to control how you think and approach these negative thoughts, without them needing to be controlled or fought against.  By letting negative thoughts pass by without engaging them, they will lose power over you. Recognizing negative thoughts will allow you to let them go and replace them with positive ones. You may still have negative thoughts, but they needn't have you. While you can practice the basic techniques of acceptance and commitment therapy on your own, working with a therapist can ensure you get the most out of your efforts.  Your therapist will work directly with you, customizing the process of acceptance and commitment therapy to your own needs. A...

Article in English: Try to find someone who strikes your interest. Maybe they are very cute, smart, funny, or unique. Chat with this person to build a friendship, and start to flirt with them to show your interest. This could be a kid in your class or someone in your after-school club.  This may take some time, but you'll be thankful your kiss was with someone you really like. To flirt, you can start by joking around, complimenting them, and making eye contact. If your crush likes you, it won't be too hard to notice. Some promising signs of this include frequent smiles, teasing, poking, tickling, or touching. These are good indicators that your crush may be thinking about kissing you too.  If your crush flips their hair, this may be a sign that they are into you If you notice your crush joking with you a lot and trying to make you laugh, they may want to kiss you too. Around ages 12-15, people often start having their first kiss. Don't feel pressured by other people your age kissing people, and don't rush into kissing someone if you are apprehensive. You'll know intuitively when the time feels right.  It's perfectly normal to have butterflies in your stomach or feel nervous at the thought of kissing someone. If someone wants to kiss you but you aren't ready, say something like, “Sorry, I don't want to yet,” or “Sorry, I'm not comfortable with this.” Another way to find someone to kiss is to play games like Truth or Dare and Spin the Bottle. You can kiss someone at random or have a friend try to help you hook up with a hottie. Many people start kissing by playing games with their friends, so give this a shot if you want to kiss someone.  For example, tell your friend that you want to kiss someone in particular, and then they can dare the person to kiss you during Truth or Dare. If you play these games, know that you may wind up kissing someone. Be comfortable with the kiss before you play.

Article in English: Try to get eight to ten hours each night. If you're still tired, try supplementing with five- to 45-minute naps in the day. This can make a huge difference in losing weight. This is a critical issue, especially in teens due to their school schedules. Get adequate sleep each night so your body can rest, repair, and produce the hormones needed to keep weight at a healthy level. If possible, try to go to sleep early enough that you don't need to wake up with an alarm. Alarms can disrupt your sleep in the midst of a REM cycle, making you wake groggily. It's always best to wake up slowly, peacefully, and at your own time. If you are aware of how much time you usually sleep, you should go to bed early to fill in those hours. Waking up suddenly disrupts the whole fat-burning cycle and instead leads to fat production. It is common to wake up due to thirst. The body needs the water's energy to burn even more fat! Sleeping on either sides of the body makes it hard for blood to run around which also helps in weight loss. When you are lying straight on the bed before sleeping, take deep, long breaths and hold them for as long as you can. Breathe slow and easy. This should act as a command for the body to help you fall asleep and start flushing down fats.

Article in English: Try to get some of the stain out by rinsing it in cold water. Blot the stain with cold water and a towel. Or, you can run the stain under cold water. Mix one part cold water and two parts salt together to create a paste. The amount of water and salt you need depends on the size of the stain. Do not mix so much water with the salt that you’ve created a liquid. The paste should be spreadable. You can use your hand or a clean cloth to apply the paste to the stain. Rub the paste gently over the stain. You should begin to see the stain let up. Once most or all of the stain has come out, run the clothing under cold water. Rinse it until the paste has been removed. If most of the stain hasn’t come out, reapply the paste. Use whatever detergent you normally would for that particular piece of clothing. Do not, however, use anything but cold water to wash the piece of clothing. Hang up the clothing to air dry once it has finished washing.

Article in English: Try to get the person to open up a little with questions that begin: “how do you feel about—,” “why do you think—,” or “what do you think about this—.” Leading questions like these will assure your introverted partner that they have space to go in depth with their answer, and are more likely to spark a rewarding conversation for both of you. Some introverts are animated with certain people that they know, while others will seem consistently aloof. Don’t give up too fast, but if someone repeatedly answers your questions with a simple “yes” or “no,” take it as a cue to give them some space. Introverts will not always say what they are thinking. You’ll need to be especially observant to understand how they are feeling if they do not verbalize it to you without prompting.  A small, coy smile is a positive indicator. A small, forced smile may be a sign to back off. If their arms are folded across their chest, they may not be in the mood to talk to anyone. If they adjust their posture or position to mirror yours, it means that they are focused on you and feeling engaged. Introverts tend to dislike being the center of attention, and over-complimenting someone draws a lot of attention to their body and personality. So, take it easy and say what feels natural, rather than overwhelming your date with forced, expected, or stock compliments. Try: “I really like the knit in your sweater—is it Gaelic?” instead of: “I could spend a thousand hours staring into your ravishing eyes.” Introverts hate small talk, and will react much more positively to a conversation that has some depth or personal connection to you. For instance, rather than discussing the whole week’s weather, tell them what the thunder storm last night reminded you of in particular. Don’t be afraid to range over a topic or two, but remember that they will open up more if you offer a specific and meaningful conversation starter.

Summary in Russian:

Article in English: Try to hang up as many of your clothes as you can. This will make it easier for you to find your clothes and to conserve space. You should not only hang up your clothes, but you should also organize them in a particular way so you can easily find them whenever you need to. Here are some ways to organize the clothes you hang up:  Organize your clothes by season. If you've stored away some of your seasonal clothes, organize your clothes by season just for half the year. If it's summer, hang up your summer clothes first, followed by your fall clothes. Organize your clothes by type. You can separate your tank tops, shirts, pants, skirts, and dresses.  Organize your work and casual clothes. Separate your work clothes from your casual clothes so you can easily get dressed for work in the morning. Organize your clothes by how often you wear them. You can choose any method of organization, but hang up a few key items, like your favorite hoodie or the pair of jeans you wear all the time, in the most accessible place. If you really want to step it up a notch, you can use differently colored hangers to mark a different type of clothing. For example, you can hang your tops on pink hangers, or your work clothes on green hangers. Colour code your clothes. example in rainbow colours You can also think about installing another pole to hang up your additional clothes. Once you've hung up all of the clothes fit on your pole, you should find other parts of the closet to store the rest of your clothes. The clothes that you put in the bins should be used less frequently than the clothes you hang up, or they should be clothes that don't need to be hung up, like your workout clothes. Here are a few ideas:  Don't waste the space under your hanging clothes. Put a few plastic bins of clothes under the hanging clothing. If you have room for a dresser, consider putting one in your closet. It will save you time and space. Consider  installing a closet organizer to find a more efficient way to store your remaining clothes. If you have...

Article in English: Try to make sure the post is away from areas the squirrels could access it from above, like long tree branches or fence edges. Give a clearance of about 8-10 feet from these things.  The baffle will go on the bottom half of the post, to keep squirrels from accessing the feeders from the ground. So, making sure they don’t have access from the top is important if you want the baffle to work. Bowl-shaped baffles can go on top of the feeder pole to keep out squirrels, but these baffles don’t do so well keeping out other critters, like raccoons. If raccoons aren’t a problem where you live, then a bowl-shaped baffle will probably work fine. You can purchase pre-made baffles from hardware or yard supply stores, and even some of the big box department stores. You can also buy them online. Make sure you buy the type of baffle you want—a cone or dome-shaped baffle to go over top of the feeder, or a cylindrical baffle to attach below the feeder on the post. With stovepipe, a stovepipe cap, metal screws, and a hose clamp, you can make your own cylindrical baffle for your feeder pole. Simply drill a hole big enough for the feeder pole in the stovepipe end cap, screw the end cap into the stovepipe to secure it, slide the stovepipe onto the pole and clip the hose clamp below it. Let the stovepipe rest on the clamp. You’ll need a drill to make your own baffle, so if you don’t have any power tools, your best option is to buy a pre-made baffle.

Article in English: Try to match your shoes to one color of your outfit. For example, if you are wearing blue jeans, a white shirt, and a brown belt, you could wear a pair of brown shoes. At the same time, you can also wear a contrasting color—just make sure that the tone or saturation are the same. For example, you pair some skinny pants with white canvas sneakers and a black shirt. Keep warm with a black jacket and a red, plaid scarf. If you pair fancy shoes with a fancy outfit, you will look overdressed. Instead, consider pairing simple flats with a fancy outfit, or fancy flats with a simply outfit. This will create a nice contrast, and prevent your outfit from looking too busy. Choosing shoes and outfits for work can be difficult. You want to look good, but you also want to meet the company's dress code requirements. Most important of all, you want to be comfortable, especially if you will be on your feet for long periods of time. Here are some things to consider:  If you work retail, refer to your company's dress code to learn what colors and styles of shoe are acceptable. Consider choosing a simple, comfortable flat, such as loafers or sneakers. Most companies will ask you to wear a solid-colored black or brown shoe. If you work in an office, sneakers might be too casual and heels might be too painful. Consider getting a pair of pointy-toed flats. They are the best alternative to painful heels while still looking formal. They work great with dress pants and pencil skirts.  A cute work outfit can consist of a white blouse with lace insets, a black pencil skirt, and black pointy-toed flats with ankle straps. Polish up your appearance with some red lipstick, a ponytail or braid, and a classic pearl necklace. Like with work, you want to look good while meeting any dress code requirements (if there are any). You also want to be comfortable, especially if you need to walk far to get from class to class. Choose shoes that are comfortable, and don't wiggle or slip off your feet; the last thing you'd want is to lose a shoe while...

Article in English: Try to remember that most jokes are good-natured attempts at being funny. Sometimes, we take the cheapest route to funny, and that sometimes takes the form of taking a shot at someone.  If the shot's aimed at you, try to remember that person is just trying to be funny - it's probably about him or her more than about you.  The joke may have been good natured, but worded poorly. Or perhaps the joker misjudged how sensitive you are about a particular topic. Sometimes people joke about sensitive topics, intending to show support for those who need it most or lighten the mood. Pick up on the atmosphere. If the joke was meant to be lighthearted (without intent to hurt you or anyone else), then you can be lighthearted right back. You may tease the joker back to keep the dialogue going, or smile and brush it off.  Keep your teasing lighthearted when creating banter with the joker. Keep in mind he or she is trying to have fun and be silly with you. If there's a cruel or threatening undercurrent, then you may want to address appropriate joking with the joker. Some people are simply goofy, or are well-meaning but not good at wording things. In these cases it may be better to let it slide. A friend may have a particularly acerbic wit. Recognize that is just part of his humor and he means no harm. We all have less than desirable traits. An overly sarcastic friend isn't likely to make major personality changes, so there is no benefit to getting upset and potentially harming relationships.

Summary in Russian:

Предполагайте об окружающих лучшее. Примите во внимание окружающую обстановку. Учтите источник шутки.


Article in English: Try to rise above the disagreement and show your level of maturity. Consider how important the issue is that you are fighting about. If it’s a serious matter that is truly affecting one of you, then you should sit down and give each person the opportunity to express themselves.  Say something to the effect of “We’re sister/brothers. We shouldn’t be fighting like cats and dogs. Let’s take a moment to talk about this. You go first.” Being willing to let the other person talk first can go a long way of showing that you want to resolve the problem. If the issue isn’t that big of a deal, however, let it slide without a big fuss. Siblings have little spats between them. It doesn’t mean you don’t love and care for one another. Sometimes, others get under your skin because one of you is already irritable or anxious. Be willing to recognize when you are tense and take a moment to collect yourself before trying to sort out an argument. It can actually help to recognize when you need a break ahead of time. This can prevent you from saying words you’ll later regret. Go somewhere by yourself for a short time to gather your thoughts and calm down. It can even help to leave your house or wherever you are and visit a friend. If something that you do annoys them, make an effort to stop. Help them out, and show them that you're genuinely making an effort to get along. It's normal and sometimes necessary to change some tiny aspect about yourself to get along with people—siblings are no different.  Choose a time and place to talk when you have both cooled off. Think about how much you’re willing to bend to compromise. Be truthful in sharing your thoughts and opinions (without being offensive) and be willing to listen to the other person’s side of things. Once the two of you make an agreement, uphold your end of the bargain. It may also be a good idea to check in with your brother or sister regularly to see if they are satisfied with the progress you two are making. While it's tempting to try to lay blame and to make your voice...

Article in English: Try to shed your nervousness and inhibitions. Rather than worrying about what others think of you, remember that you are amazing exactly the way you are. Stay positive and tell yourself something like “I’m going to have a blast tonight,” or “Maybe I’ll make a new friend or two at the party.” Use a firm handshake when meeting people, and lean in or point your legs and feet toward the person you are talking to. Use relaxed posture and widen your stance to show confidence. Avoid crossing your arms, fidgeting, fiddling with your phone, or looking bored. Look around the room and make eye contact with other guests. You’re more likely to be noticed and approached when you make eye contact than when you are looking down or away from others. For example, catch someone’s eye at the bar or buffet table. Smile and say something like, “This cheese dip is amazing. Have you tried it?” brightly. A smile is an essential accessory to bring to every event. Smiling gives out positive vibes and shows you are a happy, confident person. It also makes you look more approachable and helps others feel more comfortable around you. . If you get nervous, take several deep breaths. Breathing deeply reduces your stress levels. Imagine filling yourself up with oxygen from your toes to your nose while inhaling. Exhale and imagine releasing that oxygen from your nose to your toes.

Article in English: Try to stay hydrated, as dehydration can make your throat worse. Drink lots of water, at least eight to 10 8-oz glasses a day, as well as hot beverages, like herbal teas. You may also get fluids by drinking hot soup or other hot liquids as part of your meals. Doing this can help you stay hydrated. You can also do a good brushing and cleaning of your mouth to remove any bacteria that may be causing your itchy throat. If your itchy throat is the result of an allergic reaction, such as a seasonal allergy, brushing your tongue can help to remove pollen that may be causing your itchy throat.  You may also gargle with saltwater after each brushing to really clean out your mouth. Make sure you also stick to a consistent flossing routine to remove any bacteria or food debris in your mouth. If your work causes you to be exposed to irritants — such as cement dust while working construction, or particles in pulp mills — wear a dust mask to prevent inhalation of the particles. Environmental factors like smoking, pollutants, and dry, cold air can cause inflammation that may irritate your throat. If you smoke, quitting can reduce throat irritation. If you have to go out in cold, dry air, wrap a scarf around your mouth. If the air in your home is dry, try investing in a humidifier.  You may actually experience a temporary increase in itching after you quit smoking. This may be because nicotine can have a desensitizing effect. Ride this period out by gargling with saltwater and the itching will soon subside. You can also soothe your itchy throat with the help of added moisture and humidity. You may use a face steamer to help relieve your itchy throat or put a pot of water on the stove to boil and place your face into the steam. Another easy option is to take a long steam shower with the bathroom door closed and breathing deeply in the shower to soak up the humidity in the air. You may also set up a humidifier in your room. It may be easier to sleep at night with an itchy throat if the air is moist and humid in your bedroom.

Article in English: Try to take a ten minute walk every day after school. Add a minute every day until you’re walking for an hour every day. If you don’t have a safe place to take a walk, try climbing stairs instead.  Walk up and down the stairs five times on the first day, and then add one more flight of stairs every day until you can go up and down twenty times without stopping. Doctors recommend that teens exercise at least one hour every day.  If you aren’t used to exercising, start with 15 minutes, then work your way up to 30 minutes, 45 minutes, etc. If you can’t stand to miss your favorite show, do jumping jacks during the commercials. Or make a game for yourself where you have to do five burpees every time a character does x, y, or z. oin a sport. Even if track or cross country running isn’t your thing, there are lots of ways to get in cardio exercise as a teenager.  Check out your school or rec league’s basketball, swimming, soccer, lacrosse, or hockey teams.  Rec leagues often practice less frequently than school teams, so this may be a good way for you to fit in some exercise if you can’t commit all of the required time to a school sport. If you struggle with endurance, try a sport where you tend to run in short bursts, such as tennis, softball, or baseball. If you’re not into team sports, you can skateboard, rollerblade, ride a bike, swim laps, or shoot hoops in your driveway. Anything that gets you moving and elevates your heart rate will help you get in shape. Another alternative is a non-team-based sport, such as martial arts, yoga, or gymnastics. You'll be training with other people in a non-competitive environment. If you can have an afterschool or summer job, look for one that lets you move around. Camp counselors and daycare workers chase kids and play games with them all day long.  Waiting tables at a busy restaurant can keep you on the move. Some moving companies will hire teens part time in their busy season, or you could stock groceries at your local supermarket.  Think about starting your own lawn care...

Article in English: Try to think of a personal moment that the two of you shared and make your gift be related to that. Think of what your talents are, and try to create something that uses your strengths. Don’t worry if you’re not the greatest artist. The quality of the art matters less than the significance that the gift holds for him.  If you are not artistic, a photo collage is personal and easy to create. If you're younger, you can use an extra white shirt and create designs on it with marker, or dye it. Think of creative things you can do with extra clothes to make an awesome gift for them. You could make him a painting, compose a song for him, or create an installation art piece. Read Make Handmade Gifts for more handmade gift ideas. If you go to the store and buy supplies, you don’t want to waste time going back because you forgot something. Creating a complete list of all the materials you need for your gift will prevent you from giving the guy the gift late, or worse yet, scrapping the project halfway through.  Remember, if you need photos developed, they may take a day, so be sure to plan out your gift according to your time restraints. It’s better to have leftover art supplies than to run out in the middle of creating it. Once you have your idea, you need the supplies required to create it. Go to your local arts and crafts store, or an online marketplace to buy what you need.  Going to the art store and then comparing prices on your phone is a great way to save money. If you buy supplies online, make sure to factor in the time it takes for it to ship. Take your time and create the gift that you had in mind for him. Remember, the more time and effort you spend will pay off with the final product, so don’t skip any corners or try to rush it to completion. Once you are done, store it away in a place where he won’t find it.  Don’t be scared of the gift not being perfect. What matters is the time and meaning you put behind the gift, not its artistic merit. If you mess up, don’t be afraid to go back and start over.

Article in English: Try wearing skirts instead of pants or jeans — skirts are comfy and feminine. A skirt looks cute paired with a blouse, belt and flats. Wear skirts as short or long as you like, but make sure it looks nice. Many think pink and purple are more feminine colors. Nothing really beats a classic pencil skirt, while a pleated skirt can be both cute and comfortable. If you've been wearing jeans for years, wearing a skirt will be a revelation; it will make you feel classy and feminine, especially when you're out with friends who are all wearing jeans or if you're the only girl at work wearing a skirt.  Dresses (fit & flare dresses with a belt) are sweet too. Always wear hosiery rather than bare legs. Go for the classic sheer look and avoid  patterns. Tan or nearly black are also great colours to choose. Your skirt will help you enjoy the feeling of having your legs on display while keeping you comfortable. Wear flat shoes if you don't like heels. The key is to choose something simple and classy If you can pull off the "just rolled out of bed" look, use it. If you can't, don't do it! Don't wear anything that hides your shape. Whatever you wear, people should be able to tell you've put some time and effort into putting your look together. This step is not necessary, but it will help make you look a little more feminine. Red and pink lipstick and neutral eyeshadows will help to create a feminine look. But remember, you do not need makeup. Wear it only if you want to. If you're not comfortable with makeup, then so be it. If you're really opposed to makeup, make sure your lips are moist by wearing lip balm whenever you can. In addition to your clothes and makeup, you should spend some time finding the perfect accessories to go with your wardrobe. You don't need a box full of accessories -- just a few key items can help tie your look together and can make you look more feminine. Here are some items to consider as you work on your more feminine look, while bringing out your personality:  A pretty silk scarf Pearl earrings or...

Article in English: Trying something new requires courage and may show you a new side of yourself and your partner. You might find that you enjoy something you never knew you could enjoy, or discover something about your partner you’ve never noticed. Adding a new experience can help you feel closer and help you bond over the new experience.  For example, try a boxing class, race go karts, or try a dance class. Use your knowledge from your intimate talks to come up with activities you would both enjoy. Alternatively, you could try something that is special to one of you. A little adrenaline can help you feel more attracted to your partner and increase feelings of intimacy. Try doing something fun and maybe even a little risky together. For example, try skydiving, rock climbing, or zip lining. While you don’t want to be scared for too long, it can be fun to do something with a small fear factor to encourage you and your partner to turn toward each other. Knowing you can rely on your partner for emotional support can help you feel close to them and trust them to be there for you. For example, go to a haunted house or take a walk in the dark together. Take a trip down memory lane and open yourself up to exposing a younger version of yourself to your partner. Looking at pictures of your childhood and the people that were important to you is a very intimate act. When you discuss the things that mattered to you and the events and people that led you to become who you are, you reveal a lot of vulnerabilities to your partner.  Show your partner around your hometown and talk about memories from growing up. Then, ask them to do the same for you. Family stuff can be difficult to discuss, but try to answer all of their questions.

Article in English: Tulip Poplars can be grown from seed or from cuttings. Growing from seed will be covered in the next section. To take a cutting: Cut off about 18 inches (45.7 cm) of recent growth (less than 2 years old) from a healthy-looking tulip poplar tree. Along with the leaves and flowers, you should also trim away the lower 2 inches (5.1 cm) of bark using a sharp knife. Dip the peeled end into rooting hormone, then plant it so that about half of the cutting is under the compost in the pot that you have picked out for your cutting. You should plant your cutting in a compost mix that is suitable for cuttings. One way to do this is to enclose the pot in a clear plastic bag, removed every few days to prevent condensation build up. After a few months your cutting should root. If rooting has been successful, it should resist a gentle tug with your hand. After several months you can try planting your cutting outside in a semi-shaded area (out of the full midday heat). Once it is established and a bit more hardy, you can move it to wherever you would like it to be in your yard or garden.

Возьмите черенок от здорового дерева. Срежьте листья или цветы. Держите черенок, где яркое солнце, но подальше от прямых солнечных лучей. Переместите черенок наружу.


Article in English: Tulip Poplars will suit clay, loam and sandy soils that are moist but well-drained. Their preference is for acid or neutral soils (pH 6.1-7.5). They can live in zones 4-9. Avoid planting your tree in dry, shallow soil. Tulip Poplars generally won’t thrive in shallow clay soils and tend not to tolerate drought. However, there are some versions of this tree that are native to Florida and will be more drought tolerant than their relatives from elsewhere. Avoid planting your tree in a hot, dry part of your garden or in a waterlogged area where puddles linger after rainfall. Tulips Poplars will do best in a rich, deep, moist loam that is well-drained. They prefer a sunny spot but will tolerate partial shade for some of the day. Although Tulip Poplars are a well-shaped and attractive tree they are too large for many gardens and present other disadvantages such as their habit of dropping sap everywhere and their vulnerability to wind. They won’t themselves tolerate full shade however if it is shade you want they are a good choice for providing it for other plants if you do decide to plant the tree in your garden. Of course, you will need to plant shade-loving plants around the tree. You should note that some people are allergic to the pollen. The tree notoriously has a habit of dropping sap. This is annoying, especially if your newly washed car is parked beneath the tree. Sap can also be blown by the wind. If you are planting your tree in your yard, make sure it is far away from your driveway so that the sap doesn’t get on your car.

Summary in Russian:

Ищите место, где почва влажная, но хорошо дренированная. Избегайте жары и задерживающихся луж. Рассмотрите посадку дерева во дворе, а не в саду. Имейте в виду сок и пыльцу.


Article in English: Tulip magnolias do not require extensive pruning, but some selective pruning while the tree is young and an annual tidying up will help the tree to develop stronger branches and a more pleasing shape. Tulip magnolias should be pruned in late spring after they finish blooming. Never prune a tulip magnolia after July 1st as the new flower buds for the following spring have already been formed. The type of tool to use depends on the thickness of the branches.  Small branches with a diameter up to ½ inch can be pruned with bypass hand pruners that cut with a scissor-type action. Branches between ½ inch and 2 inches (5.1 cm) thick should be pruned with anvil-type lopping shears. A pruning saw should be used for branches thicker than 2 inches (5.1 cm). If the tulip magnolia is purchased as a bare-root tree and some of the roots are damaged, prune off about 1/3 of the canopy right after planting to help compensate for the reduction in healthy roots.  Do not cut the tip off of the top of the central leader or main trunk of the tree. Sharp hand pruners can be used to simply trim the branches back by about 1/3 of the branch length. Let the tree grow un-pruned for the next two years. Two years after the tree is planted, some branches may need to be removed to improve the tree’s shape and structure.  Step back and look closely at the branch spacing along the trunk and the angle of the branches. They should be evenly spaced along the length of the trunk. If a few branches need to be removed to even out the spacing, prune off branches that have a narrow crotch angle first. These tend to be weak and break off of the tree easily due to strong winds or ice build-up. Ideally, the branches should grow out from the trunk at a 30- to 60-degree angle. Always make the cut just beyond the branch collar, which is the slightly raised area at the base of the branch. Do not nick or cut the branch collar.  Prune off branches that are growing at the proper angle only if necessary to even up the spacing. Small, green sprouts may grow from...

Article in English: Turmeric can be found in the stem of the curcuma longa plant. A close relative of ginger, you can eat it in its raw root form, although this might have a bitter flavor to it. You should aim for 1.5 to 3 g of the root each day. Turmeric is commonly available in powder form. You should aim to incorporate 400 – 600 mg, three times a day.You can add it to sauces, soups or to drinks like milk and tea.  To make turmeric tea, boil 1 cup of water and dissolve 2 grams of turmeric powder into the water. You can also add lemon, honey and ginger to improve the flavor of the tea. If tea is not your preferred drink, you can also add one teaspoon of turmeric powder into a glass of milk in order to add antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties to it. In its tincture form, all of the benefits of the turmeric root have been extracted into a liquid. You can easily add two to three drops of turmeric tincture to water, tea, soup, or any other liquid that you consume on a daily basis. You can buy turmeric tincture at most health food stores or in the vitamin section of your local grocery store. If you suffer from cuts or burns, a turmeric paste might be the best method for reaping its benefits because you can place it directly on the affected area.  Mix water, turmeric powder and ginger powder together. Use a clean, sterilized spatula or brush to apply to the injured area. If you use your hands, make sure they are clean before you apply the paste. Keep on the afflicted area for a few hours.  To heal minor burns, you can apply turmeric and aloe vera paste. Mix equal amounts of turmeric powder and aloe vera together to create a paste. Turmeric is also available in capsule form. The dosage may vary between different packages, but pills are generally 350 mg. You should take one to three pills a day. If you are experiencing an upset stomach, you might take a higher dosage (three pills). You can find it in the vitamin section of your local grocery store.

Article in English: Turmeric contains a substance called curcumin which prevents the release of histamine in the body (which causes allergy symptoms). It also acts as an anti-inflammatory, soothing the inflamed airways of the throat following an allergic reaction.  You can increase your turmeric intake by adding a pinch of turmeric to any vegetable, fish, or meat dishes you make. It doesn't have a strong flavor, but gives the food a pleasant yellow/orange color. The recommended daily intake of turmeric is 300mg per day. Bee pollen in raw honey helps to boost your immunity and prevent allergies and infections. By consuming a small amount of pollen each day, you are essentially vaccinating yourself against pollen allergies.  It's best to eat local honey, as the pollen it contains will be specific to your local area, making it much more effective as an antihistamine substitute. Try to eat 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of raw, local honey daily for best results. Basil contains antihistamine properties that help to prevent inflammation caused by allergies. It can also be used to remove bee or insect venom from a sting.   To increase your basil intake, you can chop fresh basil leaves and add them to your salads, soups, and dressings. Alternatively, you can make basil tea by chopping fresh basil leaves and adding them to a cup of boiling water. Allow the leaves to steep for 5 minutes, then filter the tea and add honey to taste before drinking. Onions contain a chemical compound called quercetin, which helps to check your body's production of histamine and reduce the symptoms of pollen allergies.  Try to include more onions in your cooking. Eat raw onions where possible, as they contain a higher quantity of quercetin. Quercetin also helps to open up your airways, making breathing easier. Ginger possesses anti-inflammatory and antihistamine properties, both of which help to prevent allergic reactions.  To make a ginger tea, cut 1 inch (2.5 cm) of ginger root, mash it or grate it, and add it to a cup of water of boiled water. Allow it to steep...

Article in English: Turn into your opponent's body so your airway is no longer constricted. This will allow you to breathe so you can escape the headlock. Use your hand closest to the front of your attacker's body to strike his testicles (if your attacker is male). Also try to strike your opponent in the gut or ribs with your elbow. Striking your attacker in the gut and ribs works for both male and female attackers.  Keep your outside hand free to attack his testicles, or to protect your face if your attacker tries to hit you.  If it is a life-or-death situation, biting is totally on the table and it is an excellent way to injure an attacker if he is not set up properly. However, do be aware that if he has you in a proper chokehold (elbow joint is aligned vertically with your esophagus, and his choking-arm hand is on his opposite bicep, with his opposite hand on the base of your skull), attempting to bite will give him an easy chance to pull your neck towards him, rendering you unconsciousness. Use your outer arm to reach around and up to your attacker's face. If this is a life-or-death situation, use your fingers to try and gouge her eyes, reach underneath her nose with your hand or fingers to pull her head back, or reach underneath her chin with your hand to pull her head back. Keep your other hand on the arm or hand that was head-locking you. The body has to follow the head. That is why pulling her head back will render her unbalanced. As you pull back your attacker's head, stand straight up to disarm him even more (his back will be curved). Use the hand that was holding onto his head-locking hand and arm to attack him again in the ribs or groin and push him away from you. This would be your time to run and escape.

Article in English: Turn it so that it is horizontal in front of you. Use a ruler if you like neat, precise lines. Make each square large enough to record your assignments. If you are using a smaller notebook, you may only be able to comfortably fit one row. That’s perfectly fine. It’s better to have only one week on the page than to make the boxes so small that you can’t fit all the information you need. Start with “Monday” above the first column, “Tuesday” above the second, and so on through Friday. The sixth and final column is for the weekend, so you can write either “Weekend” or “Saturday/Sunday.” For example, Monday, February 3rd to Sunday, February 16th. Rotate it so that it is vertical again. ” If you have enough space on your calendar, you could also just write your extracurricular activities there. However, you may find that your assignments fill the available space.

Article in English: Turn off your air conditioner, get a garden hose, and spray the coil using an up-and-down pattern. Be particularly attentive if your condenser is close to a dryer vent, or if your neighborhood is full of cottonwood trees. These two items are "air conditioner killers". This simple step alone can increase the efficiency of your air conditioner. It will also run less, increasing the life span of your equipment.  A good sign that your filter needs changing is the fact of ice forming inside your inside cooling unit (evaporator section). This may be difficult to see as the unit is sealed, but touch the outside metal and feel for a noticeable temperature difference. You may also see ice on the large line going to the outside unit (suction line). If ice is forming, it is possible that your air filter is severely dirty and restricting your normal air flow. This allows ice to form due to the fact that not enough heat is being introduced to your cooling section.

Article in English: Turn the cameo in your hand and observe the way the light hits it. A real shell cameo should have a matte appearance rather than a glossy one.  This is true of most carved cameos, in fact, since many natural materials are difficult to buff after being carved. Some authentic stone cameos might be slightly shiny, however, so this is not a foolproof test. Hold the cameo face down and brush the back with your index finger. If the cameo is made from real shell, you should feel a slight concave or curve.  Shells have a naturally curved surface, so a cameo carved from a shell will usually have this curve, as well. The curve might be slight, though. This does not necessarily apply to natural carved cameos made from stones or other materials, though. With the back of the piece facing you, hold the cameo up against the sunlight on a particularly bright day or up against a strong artificial light. You should be able to see the entire silhouette if your cameo is made from shell.  Note that this is not true of most stone cameos. While somewhat rare, some plastic cameos are similarly thin and may show the silhouette, as well. As a result, this is not a foolproof test when done on its own. Inspect the front of the cameo with a very strong magnifying glass or jeweler's loupe. You should be able to see faint marks made by the carving tool around the carved portions of the piece.  This is true for all naturally carved cameos. Carve marks will usually follow the lines and curves of the design. Scratches that do not appear to follow these lines are usually just scratches and should not be perceived as an indication of authenticity. Hold the cameo in your hand for 30 seconds or so. A real stone or shell cameo will feel fairly cool, but a plastic piece will quickly warm up due to the temperature of the room and the heat of your skin. You could also hold the cameo to your wrist or chin. These areas are generally a little cooler than the palm of your hand and may give you a more accurate indication. Gently hit the cameo against your...

Article in English: Turn the can around and point the nozzle at the grout line to be sealed. Make sure to dispense the sealant from 10 to 15 inches (25 to 38 cm) away from the grout lines. Follow each grout line. The cloth can be dampened with warm water to remove dried sealant. Unlike liquid grout sealers, spray grout sealers can be removed right after application. Make sure that you never apply grout sealer to the surface of an unglazed tile. It will never come out of the tile. Apply another coat of sealant if the water is absorbed into the grout. The treated area can be walked on once the sealant is dry to the touch. A full cure is usually achieved in 24 hours.

Article in English: Turn the system off before touching the filter. Clean the area around the vent with a broom or vacuum before opening the vent. Open the screw(s) or latch and swing open the vent. Vacuum the encasement area, then take out the air filter.  If the system isn’t turned off first, it will suck in debris during the cleaning process. Use a step ladder if the vent is up on the ceiling or a high wall. Brush dirt off the filter into a trash container outside. Connect a hose attachment to your vacuum cleaner. Vacuum dust and debris from the filter with an upholstery attachment on the filter’s front, back and sides. Vacuum the filter outside, if possible, to avoid stirring up dust in the home. Attach a hose to your water tap. Hold the filter so that the water flows the opposite way from the airflow. Spray the filter completely to wash off dust and dirt. Use a gentle spray, not the full force of your hose, to avoid damaging the filter. If a simple rinse isn’t doing the job, you can soak your filter in a soap solution. Add a drop of mild liquid dish soap to two cups of warm water in a bowl. Stir the solution. Wet a cloth in the solution and wash both sides of your filter. Rinse the filter with water, and let it dry completely.  After the final rinse, shake off any excess water before setting the filter out to dry. You may want to wash your filter with a soap solution if it’s been exposed to grease, smoke or pet hair. Pat the filter dry with paper towels. Leave the filter outside so it can air-dry. Make sure that the filter is completely dry before re-installing it. Neglecting to let the filter dry completely can cause mold growth, which can spread spores throughout your home through the HVAC. Place the filter back in its housing. Ensure that the airflow is facing in the proper direction. Close the vent, and secure any screws or latches. The filter should sit snugly, without appearing too small or warped. Make sure there are no gaps.

Article in English: Turn the unintentional slight into something you can laugh about by following the comment with a joke.  Saying “Just kidding! Can you imagine if that were true? Wow!” can help you to play it off and brush aside the comment Add some levity by saying something like "one of my many talents is knowing the perfect thing to say to anyone in any situation" and laughing. Tell the person you accidentally insulted that you were just kidding and the comment was more of a personal statement about yourself. Someone is more likely to let it go if you say that you were actually being honest about yourself and didn’t mean the comment about the other person. If you insult someone's looks, make up a story that turns your comment into a personal narrative. "I have always been self conscious about my looks, so I sometimes project onto others. Let the person know that you didn't mean to insult them and apologize honestly for the slight. Admit your mistake in insulting the person and try to wrap the comment with a compliment.  If you insulted the person by pointing out something that you don’t like about the person, be honest about it. Say something like, “I’m sorry that I hurt you. I just think sometimes you wear too much perfume to work. Maybe I just have a really sensitive sense of smell. I really like your outfit though! You have the best wardrobe, where do you shop?” If you sent an email to the wrong person, apologize and say that the message was meant for someone else, but that you really shouldn’t have said the comment at all.

Remove wireless devices from between you and the Xbox to establish a better connection. Machines that might interfere with your controller include:  Microwaves Cordless phones Wireless Routers Laptops While the wireless signal may pass easily through some materials, it can have trouble broadcasting through metal, chrome dividers, entertainment console doors, or shelves. Try placing your Xbox on the floor and connecting a controller from close range to make sure it can still connect without any interference. The Xbox 360 can only accept four controllers at a time, so your wireless controller will not connect if there are already 4 controllers attached.  This includes wired controllers, so detach those then try to reconnect. You can quickly disconnect controllers by removing the battery pack or restarting the Xbox. If you know the batteries are good and you've tried removing all possible interferences, you may need to buy a new controller. Call the Xbox Service Center to see if you are eligible for a free replacement. Your console must be registered with Microsoft to be eligible for a replacement.
