Its app icon resembles a multicolored musical note on a white background.  If iTunes prompts you to update it, click Download iTunes on the prompt and then restart your computer after the update completes. Apple has announced that they will retire the iTunes app with the launch of MacOS Catalina in the fall of 2019.  iTunes will be replaced with an Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Podcast app for Mac users.  Windows users will still be able to use the iTunes app, for at least a while. When you click the file "Device" icon in the upper-left corner, you can see the "File Sharing" option in the sidebar to the left.  It's next to an icon that resembles an "A". In the column of apps in the middle of the iTunes window, click an app to which you want to add a file. The file type doesn't necessarily have to correspond to the app (for example, you could add a Microsoft Word file to the iMovie folder). Apple's Pages, Keynote, Numbers, iMovie, and GarageBand apps all have folders for saved projects on your iPad, meaning that you can use them to store literally any file type. This button is in the lower-right side of the page. Doing so will open your computer's File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac). Click the file that you want to add to your iPad to select it. You may first have to go to the file's folder location by clicking the appropriate folder on the left side of the window. It's in the bottom-right corner of the window. You should see the file's name appear in the app's window in iTunes. This button is in the lower-right side of the iTunes window. Doing so will add the file to your selected app on the iPad. At this point, you can open the file on your iPad at any time, even if you aren't connected to the Internet. You can click Done after the sync completes to return to the main page.

Article in English: Plug the amount of data (A) and transfer time (T) to solve for the rate, or speed (S), into the equation S = A ÷ T. For example, you might have transferred 25 MB in 2 minutes. First, convert 2 minutes to seconds by multiplying 2 by 60, which is 120. So, S = 25 MB ÷ 120 seconds. 25 ÷ 120 = 0.208. Therefore, the transfer speed is 0.208 MB/s. If you want to turn this into Kilobytes, multiply 0.208 by 1024. 0.208 x 1024 =  212.9. So, the transfer speed is also equal to 212.9 KB/s. If you want to solve for the transfer time (T) instead, input the amount of data (A) and the rate or speed (S) of transfer into the equation  T = A ÷ S.  For instance, say you transferred 134 GB at a rate of 7 MB/s. First, convert GB to MB so you’re working with the same units in each part of the equation. 134 x 1,024 = 137,217. So, you transferred 137,217 MB at a rate of 7 MB/s. To solve for T, divide 137,217 by 7, which is 19,602. Therefore, it took 19,602 seconds. To convert this to hours, divide by 3,600, which is 5.445. In other words, it took 5.445 hours to transfer 134 GB at a rate of 7 MB/s. If you want to use hours and minutes, separate out the whole number and decimal: you have 5 hours and 0.445 hours. To convert 0.445 hours to minutes, multiply by 60. 0.445 x 60 = 26.7. To convert the decimal into seconds, multiply it by 60. 0.7 x 60 = 42. Altogether, it took 5 hours, 26 minutes, and 42 seconds. To figure out how much data was transferred, use the equation A = T x S, in which A is the amount of data, T is the transfer time, and S is the speed or rate of transfer. For example, you can figure out how much data was transferred in 1.5 hours at a rate of 200 bps. First, convert hours to seconds by multiplying by 1.5 by 3,600, which is 5,400. So, A = 5,400 seconds x 200 bps. A = 1,080,000 bps. To convert to bytes, divide by 8. 1,080,000 ÷ 8 = 135,000. To convert to Kilobytes, divide by 1,024. 135,000 ÷ 1,024 = 131.84. Therefore, 131.84 KB of data was transferred in 1.5 hours at a rate of 200 bps.

Article in English: Plug the iron in and turn it on to the highest setting. Give it a few minutes to start warming up—it needs to be nice and hot in order to work effectively.  The iron will be very hot after you’ve turned it on. Touching the surface could result in a painful burn. When you’re not using the iron, set it on a hard, level surface where it won’t get tipped over. Press the iron into the cloth above the dent and move it around using slow circular motions. Make a few passes, gradually widening the area that you’re ironing. Keep heating the wood until the cloth is dry, then lift a corner to check your progress.  The heat from the iron (coupled with the moisture of the water) will cause the compressed wood in the dent to swell, returning it to its original form. Try not to let the iron sit in one place for too long, or it may scorch the cloth or the wood underneath. A single ironing might be all you need to deal with minor dents. For more severe depressions or areas with multiple marks, continue adding water and ironing slowly until the worst of the dents have been raised.  Between attempts, be sure to dampen the cloth with fresh water or grab a fresh paper towel. You might not be able to remove deep dents entirely. However, steaming will help to level them out and make them less noticeable.

Article in English: Pole beans are a type of legume, and like most legumes they require plenty of nitrogen in the soil to thrive. The easiest way to make sure they have this is by inoculating the beans with nitrogen-fixing bacteria before planting.   Be aware that inoculation is an optional step for growing pole beans – it’s not absolutely necessary. To do it, soak the beans in warm water for five minutes. Drain the water and place the beans on a damp towel. Sprinkle them with the inoculant powder just before planting.  One common inoculant for legumes is Rhizobium leguminosarum, which can be purchased at many home and garden stores. You can plant and grow pole beans in either hills or rows. The method you choose will depend largely on the layout of your garden, the type of support you created, and personal preference. Hills typically work better with poles and teepees, while rows are better suited for trellises.  To plant in hills, use gloved hands or a spade to make small mounds of soil around the base of the teepees or poles. Make each mound about 6 inches (15 cm) around and at least 2 inches (5 cm) high. Space the hills 30 inches (76 cm) apart. Poke four 1-inch (2.5-cm) deep holes in each hill, and place one bean in each hole. Cover the beans loosely with soil. To plant in rows, use your hands or a spade to build up the soil into long rows that are 30 inches (76 cm) apart. Poke a 1-inch (2.5-cm) deep hole for each bean, and space the beans 4 inches (10 cm) apart. Place a bean in each hole and cover it loosely with soil. During active growing periods like sprouting and producing pods, the beans will need sufficient water to grow. Keep the soil evenly moist when you first plant the beans and when they start developing pods. Make sure they get about an inch (2.5 cm) of water per week. When the beans have sprouted but aren't yet developing pods, you can let the soil dry out between waterings. Adding a layer of mulch to the top of the soil will help the soil retain moisture, regulate temperature, and protect the seedlings. When...

Article in English: Ponytails are incredibly versatile. Your ponytail's placement can dramatically affect your look.  High ponytails sit on the crown of your head so that the ponytail is visible from the front. These are very dramatic and fashionable.  Tying your hair just a few inches lower gives a more sporty look. Low ponytails at the nape of your neck can make you look down-to-earth. Another less common type of ponytail is 1 tied to the side of the head instead of the back. Side ponytails can make you seem quirky and fun.

Article in English: Poor body posture is essentially caused by habitually slouching forward while sitting or standing. Contrary to popular belief, your spine is not meant to be straight like a pole. A healthy spine has three natural curves, which makes it look like the letter S from the side. A forward curve at the neck meets an outward curve in the mid back, which blends into another forward curve in the low back. As such, from a side view, your shoulders should be in line with your hip joints (in the middle of your pelvis) and ankles.  When sitting, standing, and walking, remind yourself to push your shoulders back, tighten your abdominal muscles, lift your chin up and keep your gaze straight ahead. Don't continually lean forward, look down or sit at crooked angles. Poor posture is particularly debilitating for children because their growing bones can be somewhat deformed from habitual slouching and misalignment. These postural deformities are very difficult to reverse in adulthood. Poor posture puts extra strain on muscles and joints, which can lead to chronic aches and pains and increase the risk of arthritis and injuries. Shoulder injuries from playing sports or other traumas, such as car accidents or falls, can also misalign your shoulder girdle and upper body. For example, dislocated shoulders, separated shoulders, upper arm or collarbone fractures, and various degrees of sprains and muscles tears can cause the shoulder joint to sag lower or jut forward more than it should. As such, make sure your shoulder injury is properly treated and fully healed before returning to activities that stress it.  Physiotherapy is sometimes needed after a significant shoulder injury to regain full strength within the shoulder girdle muscles and attain full range of motion within the glenohumeral ("ball and socket") joint. Not being able to fully move and use your shoulder — due to chronic pain, an unhealed joint injury, arthritis — can quickly atrophy and shorten surrounding muscles. Tight, weak muscles then act to slowly pull the shoulder...

Article in English: Poor eating habits like chewing with your mouth open or eating with your fingers can be off-putting. If you are sharing a meal with your date, make a good impression by showing off your table manners. Make an effort to hold your utensils properly, use your napkin, chew with your mouth closed, and keep your elbows off the table. It can be tempting to keep your cell phone closeby while you're out, but it is rude to do it on a date. Keep your phone in your purse or pocket and give your date your full attention. If you need to have your phone on hand in case of emergencies, place it face down on the table and only touch it if it rings or vibrates. If you are only on alert for a call from one particular number, set it to a particular ring tone and volume setting so you aren't interrupted unnecessarily. A charming person will likely pay you at least a compliment or two during your date. Say a simple "thank you" and offer a compliment in return. Avoid rejecting any compliments your date gives you by being self-deprecating or untrusting.  For instance, if your date tell you that you look beautiful, tell them something like, "you look lovely, too" in return. Avoid a negative response like, "no, I'm not that attractive." You should always be prepared to pay on a date, or to split the bill equally. Bring cash, a debit card, or a credit card when you go out and reach for your wallet when it is time to pay. If your date insists on paying for you, thank them kindly and offer to pay for the next activity you share.

Article in English: Pop the caps off 15 acorns and toss the nuts into a powerful electric blender. Blend on high to pulverize the acorns into powder.  You could use two large oak galls instead of acorns if desired. Instead of a blender, you could also grind the nuts into powder using a stone mortar and pestle. Place the powdered nuts in a small to medium non-reactive bowl. Add 1 cup (250 ml) of room temperature water to the powder. Mix to combine using a plastic spoon. Note that the level of the water will need to be high enough to cover the bone you plan to dye. If you need to create more dye, you will need to add six more powdered acorns or one more powdered oak gall for each 1/2 cup (125 ml) of water. Place one steel wool pad in a separate non-reactive bowl and add 1 cup (250 ml) of lemon juice or vinegar.  Note that 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of powdered rust could be used instead of a steel wool pad if desired. You may want to choose a container with a lid since this solution will sit out overnight without being used. It must be prepared now, however, and not immediately before use. Place the bone in the bowl holding the acorn solution. Set the container aside and allow the bone to soak overnight, or 8 to 12 hours.  Make sure that the bone is completely submerged in the acorn dye. A longer soak time will lead to a darker dye. If you only want a light brownish-gray color, you can cut this amount of time down by about half. When the bone has had enough time to soak, remove it from the acorn dye. Hold the bone over the container for a minute so that any excess solution can drip off.  Do not worry if the dye is not quite the right color when you remove it from the acorn dye. The chemical reaction that the dye undergoes when immersed in the iron salt solution will alter the color and set the dye. You may want to wear rubber or plastic gloves when removing the bone to prevent your fingers from getting dyed, as well. Place the bone in the iron salt solution and allow it to soak overnight, or for 8 to 12 hours.  The bone must be completely...

Article in English: Poppy seeds require a period of stratification in order to germinate. That means they need to be exposed to cold or frost before they'll sprout. It's usually a safe bet to sow poppy seeds in very early spring, while there's still a good chance of frost. If you're in an area with mild winters, sow the seeds in the fall, so they get plenty of exposure to cooler temperatures before the weather warms up in the spring. After 14 to 28 days, the seeds will begin their germination, sending up shoots. Poppies are sown on the surface, rather than buried in holes. To prepare the soil, simply loosen its surface a bit with a garden rake. There's no need to till it to a depth of more than an inch or so, if that. In fact, doing so may make it more difficult for your poppies to grow. Sprinkle them over the freshly loosened dirt. In nature, poppies drop their seeds, which are small enough to easily be scattered across the ground by the wind. In this spirit, scatter the seeds and let them fall where they may, rather than trying to plant the poppies in rows. It will be difficult to keep the seeds confined to the spot where you drop them. Keep the area moist by sprinkling water over the soil. Don't soak it, though, or you may drown the delicate seeds. The seedlings will sprout when the weather warms in the spring. Thinning helps the plants to get bigger and produce more flowers. To thin it is a good idea to cut the plant tops off that you are thinning with scissors so  not to disturb the remaining poppies roots. When you see them sprout, you can thin out the poppies to allow each plant a bit of room to grow. Different varieties will come with different instructions as to how much spacing they need. This step isn't totally necessary, but it can give you more control over the final appearance of your flower bed. They do well in poor soil that other plants may not be able to survive in. The blooms will fall off and the pods will remain. You can harvest these to plant next season. Some varieties even produce edible seeds you can use...

Article in English: Porcelain can pick up small scratches easily, so avoid using scouring pads or steel wool. For surface stains, simply start with a clean sponge and some grease-cutting dish soap. Wipe in circular motions, then rinse the soap away with a clean sponge or rag. Use the hottest water you can stand for the best results. Use a damp cloth or sponge and coat the stained portions of the sink with baking soda. Baking soda is a mild abrasive, so it will pick up stains without scratching your sink. Scrub it on in a circular motion, then be sure to rinse it all off -- it will leave a residue if left to dry on the sink. Mix some ammonia or lemon juice in for further stain-fighting power. The paper towels will keep the bleach close to the sink, allowing it to soak into the stains. The next morning, remove the towels. Rinse and wipe the sink for an easy, hassle-free clean.  Make sure you do this in a well-ventilated area (or open a window) to prevent inhaling bleach fumes. Never do this on colored porcelain or antiques, as it can damage the color or any wood or metal fixtures attached to the porcelain. Close the drain of the sink and fill it with hot water. Then add 1-2 cups of vinegar and let it sit for 3-4 hours. Once you've drained the water, any water stains will be gone or easily wiped away with a sponge. Rinse the vinegar out when you are done. It is acidic, which can damage the finish if you aren't careful. Products like Borax and ROG 1 can be used to remove tough stains, but you should know that not all cleaners are made the same. You want to avoid any abrasive cleaners (like Comet) and any acidic cleaners (Magic Eraser), as they can dull the polish on your porcelain sink. This should only be a last resort, as the abrasion and acid can dull the finish over time. However, for serious stains you should apply a little salt, then squeeze some lemon juice over the stain. Then lightly scrub the mixture with a sponge. You can let it sit for 15-20 minutes as well to get rid of really nasty stains.

Article in English: Porcelain dolls are extremely fragile and should be handled with great care. A porcelain doll that is a child's toy does not need to be handled with gloves. However, when a doll is a collectible or a decoration you should always wear white cotton gloves when you handle it. The oils on your skin can stain the doll's porcelain and clothing, as well as attract dust. When cleaning or dressing your doll lay it out on a towel, not directly on a table. This will protect your doll from getting any dirt or smudges on it. The towel also helps prevent breakage by adding another layer of protection for your fragile doll. If your doll is a collectible or you want it be extra safe, store it in its original box or a ventilated container. You can purchase doll display cases online that work well for this. However, if you smoke, store your doll in an airtight container to prevent stains. The doll should always be out of direct sunlight and be in room temperature, not extreme temperatures. Keep your doll somewhere not too close to a window to avoid high temperatures and harsh light from outside from damaging your doll. Carefully detangle your doll's hair with a hair detangling pick. Keep your doll's hairline dry, otherwise the glue might come loose and the wig might fall off. Synthetic and straight hair can be carefully brushed with a wire brush. Curly hair should not be brushed because the curls could get ruined.

Article in English: Porcelain re-glazing is easily done at home, and is a great way to get the shine back in your sink with minimal effort. To use it, get the sink as clean as you can. Then rinse it and apply the glazing agent with a clean rag, lightly coating the entire sink. Follow the instructions provided with the glaze before using the sink again. Porcelain polish is sometimes sold as tile polishing and made for porcelain tiles. Simply apply a few drops of oil to a clean rag and use it coat the sink. This will prevent stains from sticking to it as easily and make the sink smell great at all times. You won't need much. Simply apply a little bit on a clean sponge and use it to coat the bowl of the sink. It will keep it clean and smelling great. Porcelain sinks are made by bonding porcelain to a cast-iron fixture, and they are incredibly durable when finished. As such, it is often worth the money to get a severely scratched or stained sink resurfaced, as this will protect it for many more years to come.

Article in English: Porn is like all other movies: they do not reflect reality. Porn is shot and set up to look good on camera, but it usually doesn't reflect what actually feels good or what a real sexual encounter looks like. Try to go in with no expectations. Just let things go naturally. You want to enjoy every minute of the entire experience. It shouldn't be a "get-in-get-out" operation. Enjoy the whole sexual experience. Pay attention to your partner's erogenous zones and spend time pleasuring them. Slow down and explore your partner's whole body. Don't just go for the clichè parts.  You can also play games with one another to liven up the experience. Always focus on connection and keeping them guessing to make the sex interesting. Make a point to keep kissing. Returning for a sexy make-out every now and again can be a great way to draw out the experience. Before jumping right to the main event, spend some time kissing, caressing, and pleasing one another. Foreplay can make sex last longer and feel more sensual and romantic. Women especially find that foreplay is helpful in getting them in the right mood, whereas men may be more ready to go at any moment. It's in your best interest to get your lady in the mood. It will increase her natural lubrication and make her enjoy sex more. You should make sure that your partner never doubts for a moment that you think he or she is pretty much the hottest thing on the planet, maybe even the hottest thing for the next couple planets. When you see something you like, let your partner know. You don't always have to say it, but take time to enjoy it. Let your partner see you enjoying his or her body too. Personal lubrication products can significantly improve sexual satisfaction. Using quality lubricants is very important to good sex, especially if your partner is a woman or if you are having anal sex. Sexual interactions involve a lot of friction and, most of the time, friction is good. However, it also has its downsides, such as chafing and discomfort. You can buy lubricants at many...

Article in English: Position yourself in a location where there is not bright lighting. You will have a better chance of spotting the Big Dipper in an area not polluted with light.  You also should position yourself in a spot where the northern horizon is clear.  Wait until darkness falls. You aren't going to find the Big Dipper during the daytime. The best viewing time is between March and June and around 10 p.m. To find the Big Dipper, you need to look into the northern sky. Determine which direction is north using a magnetic compass or a map. Tilt your head back so that you are looking up at the sky at about a 60-degree angle.  During midsummer and autumn, the Big Dipper will be closer to the horizon, so don't look up quite so high. If you are located north of Little Rock, Arkansas, you should be able to see the Big Dipper all night at any hour and any day of the year.  If you live as far north as New York or further north, the Big Dipper should never sink below the horizon. In southern locations, it can be more difficult to see the full Big Dipper in the fall, when some of its stars may be obscured. The season matters here. If it's spring or summer, the Big Dipper will be higher in the sky. If it's fall or winter, the Big Dipper will be closer to the horizon.  The saying “spring up and fall down” will help you remember where to look for the Big Dipper. In the fall, the Big Dipper will rest on the horizon in evening. In the winter, the handle can appear to be dangling from the bowl. You will find the Big Dipper upside down in the spring and, in the summer, the bowl will lean toward the ground.

Article in English: Possibilities include:  Frustration over a lack of communication. Imagine having something important to say, but being unable to form words or coherent sentences. This feels incredibly frustrating, and your child may act out.  Sensory overload. Autistic individuals can become overstimulated when too much is going on in a room. Bright lights and loud noises may be very upsetting and painful. This can lead to meltdowns (which look like tantrums, but aren't done on purpose) or shutdowns (which involve passivity and withdrawal). A desire not to do something. When pushed to do something they don't want to do, your child may throw a fit. Last resort. If a child doesn't believe that you will respect verbal or alternative communication, they may act out due to the belief that it is the only way to be acknowledged. Never raise your voice or frighten your child. Behave the way you want your child to behave when they are angry, because they will learn from watching you. Take time to cool down if you need to.  Make it clear that you care about what's bothering them, even if you don't know what it is. Help your child calm down. Allow them some quiet time, or offer to use some self-calming strategies together. Figure out which strategies work best for your child. Show your child that they don't have to deal with frustration or overstimulation alone. If, for example, your child is upset because you are pushing them to make the bed, you can offer to make the bed together, or let the issue drop. It can be very effective to offer your child a reward for completing a task or handling a frustrating situation. Perhaps your child is afraid of doctor’s appointments but loves building model cars. Tell your child that once the doctor’s appointment is over, the two of you can build a car together. Doing so adds a level of excitement and a possible reward, which may be enough to help her handle the frightening situation.

Article in English: Possible options include aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen.  Anti-inflammatory medications like these reduce the swelling and ultimately relieve the pain. Before taking an over-the-counter medication, make sure that you are not on any prescription medications that could interact negatively with the drug. Moreover, you should also make sure that you do not have any medical conditions that prevent you from taking one or all of these drugs. For instance, someone with an ulcer should avoid taking aspirin. Note that over-the-counter medications only provide temporary relief. Do not let the immediate lack of pain lull you into a false sense of security, since you can still worsen the strain by overworking it.

Article in English: Potty training can actually go hand-in-hand with crate training, since your dog will not want to relieve himself in the area where he stays inside the house. When you take him outside on the leash, give him some freedom to choose the area where he wants to go. Keep in mind that he may choose somewhere other than grass, such as soil or mulch.  Guide him away from areas that would not be appropriate, such as your neighbor’s yard or your plants. If you have your own fenced-in backyard, it may not be necessary to take him out on the leash to select a spot. He will know that the backyard is where he is supposed to go to the bathroom. Whichever spot he chooses, take him to this spot each time that you take him outside on the leash to go to the bathroom. When you are at the designated bathroom spot, say “potty” and wait for him to go. This may take several minutes, since he may not understand this verbal command right away. After he goes to the bathroom, reward him with a treat.  If he does not go to the bathroom after several minutes, take him back inside and wait for about 15 minutes. If you had him on a leash, keep his leash on him during this 15-minute wait period. Then, take him back outside again to the same spot. Repeat this until he goes to the bathroom outside. Once he goes, reward him with a treat.  Make sure that he does not go to the bathroom inside during the wait period. This may be more likely to happen if your cocker spaniel is a puppy. It may take a lot of repetition before your dog knows that he should go to the bathroom in the same spot outside. Cocker spaniels are very sensitive to punishment, so do not verbally or physically punish him if he goes to the bathroom inside. If you see him in the act of going to the bathroom inside, try to interrupt him and get his attention by clapping loudly with your hands. Take him outside to the designated  bathroom spot as quickly as possible, either by picking him up and carrying him or walking him on the leash.  When you get back inside, clean up the mess...

Article in English: Poultry, fish and meat products contain high levels of purine, a chemical compound that gets broken down into uric acid in the body. High levels of uric acid can aggravate gout.  Therefore, if you been diagnosed with gout, you need to limit your meat intake to only 4 to 6 ounces or 113 to 170 grams per day. Meat products that are particularly high in purine are organ meats (such as liver, brains, kidneys), anchovies, mackerel, herring, beef, lamb, pork, lobster, scallops and tuna. Some vegetables also have a high level of purine, such as oats, wheat germ, bran, asparagus, cauliflower, green peas, mushrooms and spinach. Do not eat more than ½ cup  of these vegetables per day. It may be helpful for you to make a list of some low-purine foods, as these are the foods that you can safely eat when suffering from gout. Some of the foods low in purine are eggs, peanut butter, low fat cheese, milk and yogurt, meat-free soup, fruits, bread, rice, cake, pasta, popcorn and more. There are a lot of fruits which contain natural compounds that may help to treat and relieve gout. These include the following:   Bananas: This fruit contains very low amounts of purine and has a lot of B vitamins, vitamin C, and potassium. This can prevent gout attacks. 2 to 4 serving daily is recommended.  Apples: Apples contain malic acid which helps to neutralize uric acid in the body. Apples are best eaten after every meal.  Cherries: Cherries contain minerals and phytochemicals that help to treating gout by lowering uric acid levels in the body. A daily serving of 10 to 15 cherries is recommended. Uric acid is solute substance and water can act as a solvent. Therefore, increasing your water intake will help to dilute the uric acid in your blood and make it easier for the kidney to eliminate excess uric acid. It is recommended for you to drink 8 to 16 glasses of water per day. This is equivalent to 4–6 liters (1.1–1.6 US gal) per day. Alcoholic beverages, such as beer, contain a high amount of purine. Thus, it is recommended that you limit...

Article in English: Pound stakes in the ground If you are building a lean-to or Quonset, you can reinforce your frame with rebar and PVC or a non toxic variant.  Pound rebar into the ground every 4 feet (1.2 m). Leave 48 inches (121.9 cm) protruding from the ground.  Once the rebar is set, you can loop 20-foot sections of tubing over the rebar to create your frame. Stretch your plastic film (preferably a non toxic type of plastic) over the frame and attach it to beams at the bottom. Small, loose gravel allows for extra drainage in a greenhouse environment. Hire builders to pour concrete, if you need a foundation. They will need to bring in concrete forms and pour the floor of your greenhouse before it can be framed. Untreated wood can degrade in as little as 3 years. Choose your wood treatment carefully. Some wood treatments require that the food is no longer listed as “organic” or safe for consumption because of the use of chemicals. Consider a treatment like Erdalith, which has limited leaching properties.  Use metal supports in place of wood supports whenever possible. You may be able to simply bolt film to wood.  The more expensive the covering, such as glass, fiberglass, or double walled plastic, the more time you should take to seal it to the foundation and frame. Research the best procedure for the covering of your choice.

Article in English: Pour 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 g) of regular table salt into a cup. The salt will help exfoliate and further reduce the smell of gasoline. Place the cup next to the sink so it is easily accessible when your hands are covered in dish detergent. Dish detergent breaks down the chemical bonds of gasoline. Pour some regular dish detergent onto your hands. You should only use just enough to thinly cover your palms and fingers. Pour the table salt on top of the dish detergent. Rub your hands together, thoroughly massaging your palms and fingers. Continue for about one minute. You don’t need to add more detergent when you wash your hands. Simply put your hands under running water to remove the salt and detergent. Dry your hands with a towel when you are done.

Article in English: Pour 1 ½ cup of flour, 3 ½ teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ cup white sugar into a mixing bowl. Sift or stir the bowl until the ingredients are distributed evenly. Break up any clumps until the mixture is smooth. Crack one egg into a bowl, followed by 1 ¼ cup (300 ml) of milk. Use a whisk to beat the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Place 3 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl. Microwave for around 1 minute or until the butter is completely melted. Stir the ingredients together using a whisk until the batter is as smooth as possible. While heating, gently tilt the pan so the oil can coat it thoroughly. If desired, butter can be used instead of oil. Spread the batter around so it is a nice, large circle. Use about ¼ of a cup (59 ml) for average-sized pancakes, ⅛ of a cup (28 ml) for mini pancakes, and ½ a cup (120 ml) for jumbo pancakes. Spread them evenly so the flavor is consistent. Though not required, these additions can give an extra bit of flavor to your Mother’s Day meal. Depending on your stove’s heat and the thickness of the pancake, each side could take between 3 and 6 minutes to cook. Pancakes can burn quickly, so stay alert while they are cooking. If you’re not sure what kind of syrup your mother likes, serve it on the side. For extra brownie points, arrange your berries, fruit, or chocolate chips in the shape of a heart or smiley face.

Article in English: Pour 1 ½ cups of water into a medium saucepan. Add 1 cinnamon stick,  and cover the pot with a lid before placing it on the stovetop.  You can use a glass tea kettle instead of a saucepan if you prefer. If you want a stronger tea, break the cinnamon stick into several pieces. The cinnamon flavor comes out of the stick when it’s slow boiled, so set the stove’s burner to medium low. Allow it to come to a boil, which should take approximately 15 to 25 minutes. Don’t be alarmed if the water’s only a pale yellow color even when it comes to a full boil. It takes some time for the tea to darken. Once the water and cinnamon mixture has come to a complete boil, remove it from the burner. The tea must cool slightly for the rest of the cinnamon to be released from the stick, so let the tea steep for approximately 15 minutes off the heat. As the tea steeps, it will start to darken, turning a golden red color. After you’ve allowed the tea to steep for a while, pour it through a very fine strainer into a mug. The strainer will remove any bits of the cinnamon stick that might have broken off during brewing. Serve or drink the tea right away. During the steeping and straining process, the tea will cool. If it’s not as hot as you’d like it when it’s finished, pour the strained tea back into the pot and reheat it.

Article in English: Pour 1/2 to 1 inch (1.25 to 2.5 cm) canola or vegetable oil until a medium skillet or saucepan. Heat on high until it reaches a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).  The saucepan or skillet you use must have a heavy bottom and deep sides to prevent as much hot oil splatter as possible. Check the temperature of the cooking oil using a candy thermometer or a frying thermometer. If you do not have a thermometer, you can check the approximate temperature of the oil by tossing a small piece of dough into it. If the oil immediately begins to sizzle, the oil should be ready. Add the chin chin pieces to the hot oil one handful at a time. Fry for 3 to 8 minutes, turning only as needed, until the pieces turn golden-brown on all sides.  The small squares will usually only need 3 to 5 minutes. They may not need to be turned during the cooking process, either. The knots may need a bit longer, from 6 to 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to gently flip them over once, after the bottom begins to brown, so that both sides will cook evenly. Watch the temperature of the oil as you cook the chin chin. It may rise once you remove the pieces and lower once you add them. For best results, adjust the temperature controls on your oven to consistently maintain the temperature of the oil at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Remove the fried chin chin using a slotted spoon. Place them on a plate lined with clean paper towels to drain off the excess oil. Repeat the frying and draining steps until the entire batch has been cooked.

Article in English: Pour 1  fl oz (30 ml) of rum into the pan with the rest of the ingredients. Gently tip the pan to the side to ignite the flame. Once the pan has flamed, immediately remove the pan from the heat. The flames will extinguish themselves after 1-2 minutes.  Have the lid for the pan sitting right next to you during this process in case you need to quickly extinguish the flame. Be very careful as you tilt the pan to avoid spilling any of the hot liquid. Tipping the pan to the side slightly will cause it to flame. This is because the hot rum will be close enough to the gas for it to ignite. The sides of the pan will prevent the ingredients from falling onto the stovetop. Add 1  fl oz (30 ml) of rum into the pan and ignite a long match. Hold the match very carefully just above the fumes of the pan to ignite the rum. Pull your hand away quickly and take the pan off the heat. The flames will die down after 1-2 minutes.  Make sure that there is nothing low-hanging over the stovetop while you do this. Don't let the ignited match touch the alcohol as it only needs it to be held in the fumes to work. Alternatively, use a grill lighter rather than a match if you prefer. Gently lift up each sliced banana with the spoon and place 4 slices onto each serving plate. Don't worry about removing any excess liquid. Alternatively, use serving bowls instead of plates. Transfer the ice cream onto the serving plates. Place the ice cream on top of the bananas if you don't mind it melting faster. Otherwise, arrange the ice cream next to the bananas on the plate. Serve the dish immediately before the ice cream melts.  If there is any extra sauce in the pan, drizzle this over the ice cream with a spoon.  Bananas Foster is traditionally made with vanilla ice cream, however, try out different types to see what flavor you prefer. Praline or wattleseed are also good options.

Article in English: Pour 2 cups of cold heavy cream or whipping cream into a large bowl and mix it using an electric mixer. Blend it for about 3 minutes, or until peaks form and the cream is stiff. If you do not have an electric mixer, you can use a food processor with a whisk attachment. Stir in 1 can (or 14 ounces) of cold, sweetened condensed milk into your whipped cream. If you wish to add some vanilla flavoring, you can add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir it until you achieve a uniform color. You will need about ⅔ cups of crushed Oreo cookies. The crushed pieces can be as large or as small as you want them to be, but overall, pieces should be no larger than your thumbnail. You can even have a combination of large and small pieces. Consider crushing the cookies in smaller batches of 5-10 cookies at a time, as opposed to all at once. You can crush or crumble your cookies in various ways:  Place some cookies into a blender or food processor and blend them for a few seconds. You can get some finely-ground up cookies. Chop up whole cookies into smaller pieces with a knife. This will give you some larger and smaller chunks. Place the cookies into a large, resealable bag, and smash them by hitting them with a mallet, or going over them with a rolling pin. Crumble the cookies with your fingers. This will leave you with mostly large chunks. Using a spatula, fold the crumbled cookies into the mixture.Keep folding and stirring until the cookie bits are spread throughout the mixture. You want an even consistency. Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container and put it into the freezer. Let it freeze for at least 6 hours.

Article in English: Pour about an ounce of water over the affected area, just enough to cover the dent and a small part of the surrounding wood. Make sure the dent is completely wet. Pooling inside the depression itself is a good sign that the spot has been thoroughly soaked.  Using an eyedropper or kitchen baster will give you more control over where you apply the water. If there’s any serious breakage or chipping around the dent, you may need to have the surface repaired professionally to avoid making it worse. Wet the cloth or paper towel and wring out the excess water, then lay it directly on top of the dent. This will provide a little added moisture while also creating a buffer that will help protect the wood from being damaged by the heat of the iron.  It may be a good idea to use an old t-shirt, dusting rag or some other piece of fabric that you don’t care about potentially ruining. If the dent is located on the side or corner of a piece of furniture, you might need to hold the cloth in place with your free hand while you steam the wood. Let the wood sit for a minute or two to absorb as much moisture as possible. As the water seeps into the wood, it will cause it to soften and become pliable. Once you apply heat to the spot, the wood will expand and the dent will lift right out. The deeper the water penetrates into the wood, the more effective the steaming process will be.

Article in English: Pour in 1 cup of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.   Seal the lid on the blender or food processor tightly. Process until completely smooth. Use the pulse setting on high. Put this into the freezer.  You will need to freeze the mango mixture until it is completely frozen. This will take approximately 5 hours. Be patient. Making mangonadas from fresh fruit takes much longer than using frozen fruit because of this step. Add it to a blender or food processor.   This might be difficult if the mixture is very hard. Try using an ice cream scoop or sturdy spoon to scoop out the mixture. Blend the frozen mangonada mixture until it is smooth like a slushie. Top each jar with lime juice and ground chili.   Spoon a little bit of chamoy into each jar. Spread it around the inside of the jar with knife or back of a spoon. Add a layer of frozen mango mixture, then top this with a small amount of chamoy. Repeat this layering until the jar is full. Pour a small amount of lime juice on top of each jar and sprinkle some ground chili as a topping. To do this, pour the mango mixture (from step 1) in several small cups or popsicle molds.  Put a popsicle stick in each. Freeze the individual popsicles until hardened. Cut away the disposable cup or pop the popsicles out of molds. Top each popsicle with some chamoy, squeeze a little lime juice on top, and sprinkle with ground chili.

Article in English: Pour liquid dish soap directly into the toilet bowl so it can sink to the bottom. Over the next 25 minutes, the soap will make the pipes more slippery so it’s easier for the clog to move through the toilet. During this time, you may notice the water level go down as the clog loosens up. Use the hottest that comes out of your bath faucet. Slowly add the water to the toilet bowl directly over the drain to help force the clog down. The hot water paired with the soap could break apart the clog so your toilet can flush again.  Only pour hot water into the bowl if there’s no risk of it overflowing. You can also add 1 cup (200 g) of Epsom salt to help break apart the clog. Flush your toilet as normal and see if it drains completely. If it does, then the dish soap and hot water worked as intended. If not, you may try again or try to break the clog a different way.

Article in English: Pour one cup of water into your pressure cooker, or whatever is the minimum quantity required for your cooker to maintain pressure. Then place a steaming basket or other cooking rack into the bottom of the cooker. You may only need a trivet and not a steaming basket or other cooking rack to support the bowl or pot you will place inside the cooker. Locate a heat-proof bowl or pot that will fit inside your pressure cooker. Put your desired amount of rice into the bowl, and the correct amount of water for the quantity and type of rice (one cup of white rice, for instance, needs 1.5 cups of water).  Choose a stainless steel bowl for ideal cooking, as it will conduct heat better than glass or ceramics. Substitute all or part of the water with a liquid for flavoring if you wish, such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or prepared bouillion. Add a teaspoon of butter, olive oil, or an oil of your choice to the rice for flavor if you like. Lower the bowl with your rice and liquid into the pressure cooker so it sits on your steaming basket or trivet. Don’t cover your bowl with anything. Then close and lock the lid of your cooker. Check the instruction manual for your pressure cooker to ensure that you are closing and locking the lid properly. Set the burner on your stove to high heat until your pressure cooker indicates high pressure, then lower the heat to maintain this pressure for three minutes. Check your specific instruction manual for how to properly read the pressure on your cooker. If you are using an electric pressure cooker, set it to high pressure for three minutes. The cooker will take a few minutes to pressure up before the three minutes of cooking time. When the three minutes cooking time is up, take the pressure cooker off the burner for a 10-minute natural pressure release, meaning the pressure built up inside releases naturally when taken off of heat. The rice will continue to cook while the pressure is slowly released.  For an electric cooker, turn it off when the timer beeps and set it to a natural...

Article in English: Pour one pound of lentils out of the bag onto a clean, flat, white surface and pick out any little rocks that might be mixed in.  You can add a bit more or less, depending on how much garlic you like in your food. Cooking your soup with bay leaves will give it a distinctive flavor.  Leave the pot slightly uncovered, by using a stirring ladle to prop up the cover. After the water reaches a boil, turn it down to medium heat and cook the lentils for 35-45 minutes, depending on how long it takes for them to soften. When they are soft, but not yet coming apart, they are ready. Use a fork or spoon to check on them, stirring occasionally. Add 1/3 cup of vinegar, 1/2 cup of olive oil, and a teaspoon or two of salt to the pot. Stir all of these into the soup and allow to boil for the remainder of the time. Once you have determined that your lentils are ready, turn off the stove, and allow the soup to cool in its pot for a while. This tasty soup can be enjoyed on its own, or served with some bread or sprinkled with Feta cheese. If you want to mix up this recipe, next time, then try making one of these varieties:   Lentil soup with lemon and dill. Just add 3 tablespoons (44.4 ml) of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1/2 cup of chopped fresh dill to the soup and stir well.  Lentil soup with smoked paprika. Just add one teaspoon of smoked paprika for an extra kick.  Lentil soup with sausage or bacon. Add 1/4 pound of chopped bacon, pancetta, or sausage and cook it in the pot until it's just a bit crisp.

Article in English: Pour the applesauce into a small pan, and place it on the stove. Turn the heat up to low or medium. Wait for the applesauce to get hot enough to make steam. Any type of applesauce will work. If you can't find any, try baby food. Don't use flavored gelatin, like Jello, or the vomit may change color. If you only have Jello at home, try yellow or orange. It will give you a more natural color. Give the vomit another stir. Sprinkle it over the contents in the frying pan and stir. This will help give the vomit some color. If you can't find any cocoa powder, you can use hot chocolate mix or even a pinch of dirt. Set it down onto a trivet or folded towel so that you don't ruin the counter. You will need a small handful of each. Give the vomit another stir to mix everything in. If the cereal has large flakes, you can crumble them with your hands first. If you don't have Raisin Bran or Cornflakes, you can use another type of brownish, flaky cereal. Granola is a great one! Use a spatula to move the vomit from the pan to a plate. Spread it around into a vomit shape with a spoon. If you want to, you can add more oatmeal or crushed cereal on top. Don't get too carried away! After that, you can take the vomit off the plate with a spatula and put it somewhere to gross someone out.

Article in English: Pour the oil into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Heat the oil over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until the surface is shimmering. Add the onion and cook it for 2 to 3 minutes, until it’s soft and translucent. Add the garlic and sauté the mixture for an additional minute, until the garlic is fragrant. Divide the onion and garlic mixture into two equal parts. Remove half the mixture from the saucepan and transfer it to a heat-proof bowl. Set the bowl aside and return the saucepan to the heat. Add the peeled and chopped tomatoes to the saucepan with the remaining onion and garlic mixture. Cook the tomatoes for about 5 to 8 minutes, until they're soft and tender. Transfer the tomato mixture to a blender. Put the lid on the blender and remove the cap insert from the center of the lid. Cover the hole with a folded tea towel. Blend the tomato mixture until smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes. Set the blender aside.  Removing the lid insert and covering it with a towel will prevent the heat from building up inside the blender and exploding. You can also leave the mixture in the saucepan and use an immersion blender to puree the tomatoes. Return the reserved onion and garlic mixture to the saucepan. Add the carrots to the pan and cook them for about 5 minutes, until soft. You can use any chopped vegetables you like in place of or in addition to the carrots, such as peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, and eggplant. Pour the tomato puree back into the saucepan with the sautéed carrots. Put on a lid and bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Leave the sauce to cook for 20 to 25 minutes to marry all the flavors. Remove the sauce from the heat. To add extra richness to the sauce, add a rind from a block of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Simmer the rind for the full 20 to 25 minutes. Before serving the sauce, remove the rind with a slotted spoon. Stir in the chopped basil, a splash of balsamic vinegar for extra tang, and salt and pepper, to taste. Stir the sauce to incorporate the final ingredients and serve with your favorite...

Article in English: Pour the salt into the water and stir until it's completely mixed together. This salt water brine will help keep unwanted bacteria from growing as you ferment your koji. Place the koji into a large jar with a tight lid. The jar should hold about 2 gallons (7.6 L) of liquid so you'll have room to stir your mixture. Pour your brine over the top of the koji and stir it with a long-handled spoon. The thick koji paste will not dissolve into the brine, but the soy and Aspergillus will begin to seep into the water. Keep the moromi in a place with a warm, stable temperature and stir it daily with your long-handled spoon. As the koji ferments, it will probably produce a strong odor, so keep it covered tightly when you’re not stirring it. The fermenting process is what really allows the flavors to develop. You’ll need to give your soy sauce at least 6 months to ferment, although for a deeper flavor, you might want to wait up to a year. Once you feel your flavors have developed enough, you should strain your moromi mixture. Place the solids in a press or a piece of cheesecloth to ensure you get all of the liquid out. Discard the solids from this process. Heat your soy sauce over medium-high heat, then use a thermometer to ensure the mixture stays at this temperature for 20 minutes. Once you have finished pressing the mixture, transfer the liquid to a heat-safe pot and use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Proper pasteurization will ensure there is no harmful bacteria in your soy sauce. Pour your pasteurized soy sauce into a container with a tightly-closed lid and refrigerate it. You may prefer to pour some of your soy sauce into a smaller container to make it easier to serve. The finished soy sauce should last for up to 3 years if it's sealed and 1-2 years in an opened container.

Article in English: Pour the water into a large pot and add several pinches of salt. Put the lid on the pot and turn the burner to high. Heat the water until it begins to boil and steam escapes from under the lid. To make a single serving, heat 2 to 3 quarts (1.9 to 2.3 liters) of water and reduce the amount of elbow macaroni between 1/2 cup to 1 cup (42 to 84 g). Use a spoon to stir the noodles so they don't clump together as they cook. The water will stop bubbling right after you add the noodles. Keep the lid off the pot and heat the noodles over high heat. The water should start to bubble vigorously. Stir the noodles occasionally and cook the elbow macaroni until it's al dente. This should take 7 minutes. If you want softer noodles, cook them for 1 more minute. Turn off the burner and set a colander in the sink. Carefully pour the noodles into the colander so the water drains. Use the noodles while they're still hot. If you want to make the noodles ahead of time, refrigerate them in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. Reheat the noodles in your favorite sauce or casserole.

Article in English: Pour the water, salt, liquid smoke, garlic, and pickling spice into a large stockpot.  Make sure that the stockpot you use can fit inside of your refrigerator. You will need to store it there in a later step. Place the stockpot on the stove. Give the ingredients a quick stir with a large mixing spoon to combine well. Turn the burner onto high heat and cook the brine ingredients until they just begin to boil. At that point, the brine should be removed from the heat and cooled to room temperature. Most of the spices in the pickling mix should have had the chance to dissolve, and the same goes for the salt. Essentially, boiling the ingredients together blends the flavors more effectively. Place the brisket in the brine, cover, and refrigerate overnight.  Cover loosely with the stockpot's lid or with a sheet of plastic wrap or aluminum foil. The brisket should chill in the brine for at least 8 hours, if possible. For a stronger flavor and more tender pastrami, though, you could let it sit in the brine up to 3 days.

Article in English: Pour white glue on top of your plate. Use a paintbrush to spread it evenly over the surface where you want to build your pyramid. This will serve as the base, so make sure that each section has some glue on it.  You can use a Styrofoam tray or wood surface as a base if you prefer. You'll need 140 cubes for a 7x7 pyramid. Start with a corner of your pyramid. Place your first sugar cube in the glue and press down lightly to set it in place. Continue placing cubes next to it in both directions until you have 7 cubes on each side. Fill in the rest of the open space in your square with sugar cubes. Use the gaps between cubes to determine where a 6x6 layer will rest on top of the first layer. Pour glue in a square along the edges of your 6x6 outline and then fill in the middle of the square with glue. Put at least one dollop of glue on each interior square to ensure that the upper layer remains in place. With your glue still wet, begin to place cubes in a 6x6 row on top of your first layer. Line each cube up so that it rests directly on top of a cube underneath it. Do not press down on your cubes as you place them. Save time by setting your layer out on a separate plate and transferring it over by pinching an entire row between two fingers. Place additional layers on top of your pyramid by moving in 1 cube at a time for each layer. Your next layer will be 5x5, then 4x4, and so on. Add a new layer of glue each time that you add a layer.  Do not leave cubes out of the middle of a layer or you'll risk breaking your pyramid. You can use glue and glitter, sand, or paint to cover your cube if you'd like.

Article in English: Pour your desired measurement of rice into your pressure cooker. Add water according to the type and quantity of rice you are using. One cup of white rice, for instance, needs 1.5 cups of water.  Substitute all or part of the water with a liquid for flavoring if you wish, such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or prepared bouillion. Never fill the pressure cooker more than halfway with the rice and liquid. Add a teaspoon of butter, olive oil, or an oil of your choice to the rice for flavor if you like. Close and lock the lid on your pressure cooker by fastening the handle of the cover to the handle for the body of the pot, or however your model is intended to close according to the instruction manual. Place the cooker on a burner of your stove. If you are using an electric pressure cooker, plug it into an outlet and turn it on. Set the burner on your stove to high heat until your pressure cooker indicates high pressure, then lower the heat to maintain this pressure for three minutes. Check your specific instruction manual for how to properly read the pressure on your cooker.  If you are using an electric pressure cooker, set it to high pressure for three minutes. The cooker will take a few minutes to pressure up before the three minutes of cooking time.  Lower the heat right away after your cooker reaches high pressure, otherwise your rice can become quickly overcooked. When the three minutes cooking time is up, take the pressure cooker off the burner for a 10-minute natural pressure release, meaning the pressure built up inside releases naturally when taken off of heat. The rice will continue to cook while the pressure is slowly released. For an electric cooker, turn it off when the timer beeps and set it to a natural pressure release for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes of natural release, do a quick release on your pressure cooker to open the lid. Tilt the cooker away from you when opening the lid to avoid the hot steam. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.

Article in English: Pouring water over the marigold blossoms and leaves may damage or even rot them. Instead, use a watering can to water your flowers at the base of the plants. Try to avoid using a garden hose to water your plants. The force of the water may wash away the top layer of soil. “Deadheading” is a cultivating process in which you snip off dead blossoms from flowering plants. While not strictly necessary, deadheading your marigolds will help prompt the plant to produce new flowers. To keep marigolds compact, pinch off new, unwanted growth. Although marigolds are very hardy, they may sometimes have pest problems. A mild solution of insecticidal soap, which is sold at most gardening supply stores and even supermarkets, will help keep pests at bay without presenting a toxic hazard. Some marigold species are edible. If you use marigolds in any edible preparation, wash them thoroughly first to remove any insecticidal soap residue. Do not eat marigolds that have had chemical pesticides sprayed on them. Most marigold species grow quite close to the ground, but if you’ve chosen a taller variety such as the African marigold, you may need to provide a stake to support the stalk. Use stakes about 2’ high and tie the plant to the stake with a soft, stretchy fabric. (Old nylon stockings work very well for this!)

Article in English: Practice about 60 minutes daily.Practice all the basic volleyball moves before the try-outs. Practice setting, spiking, bumping, blocking, and serving. Practice by yourself as well as with others. Set/bump against the wall, practice your serves, and jump rope. Jog daily, but not for too long, because long distance running damages your vertical jump. These will help your serves and hits. If you are strong, the coach will probably accept you on the team. This will give you a lot skills without the pressured level of expectation. Plus, you'll have a ton of fun. If the coach is expecting everyone to get their serves over, you had better work on serving. Almost all coaches will want to see how good you are at the fundamental skills. Try to show the coach these fundamentals in try-outs.

Article in English: Practice good hygiene. Take a shower when you need to and keep your hair clean. Brush your teeth and use deodorant, to keep yourself smelling fresh. Keep your hair brushed, your nails reasonably trimmed, and any excess body hair should also be carefully maintained to reasonable lengths. Use only enough concealer, foundation and powder to even your skin tone and cut down on shine. Eye shadow and lip colors should be subtle and use neutral tones line browns and grays. Eyeliner and mascara should be minimal. There are occasions, however, where bolder lip colors may be appropriate. If you are going out for a formal evening, for example, bright red lips may be warranted. When you think elegant women you usually think Audrey Hepburn, Veronica Lake, or Nicole Kidman. And what do they have in common? That sleek, beautiful hair, of course. Choose hairstyles which show off the satin quality of your hair and compliment your features and dress style. This will give you a more elegant look. Good choices for nail polish are pale pink, clear, or a french manicure. But remember that any colour can look elegant, it all depends on how you carry it off. Don't rule out any colour - including black - unless you don't like it. Look at some photos of celebrities' nails at events. They wear all colours, including black, green, and orange, and many of them still look elegant. You may not see when someone smells nice but it will form a certain picture in your mind. Leave a lasting impression by using a subtle perfume, applied correctly. Elegant top notes include scents like:  Jasmine Rose Amber Having good posture will go a long way towards being perceived as elegant. Work on your posture and make sure that you are standing nice and tall. This will also make you look thinner and curvier.

Article in English: Practice relaxation beforehand, and read a paper to have talking points to engage with people at social events. Prepare a comment to make at a meeting, or have a topic from the radio to discuss over lunch. If you have to stand up in front of a large group of people to give a presentation or speech, being prepared will give you extra confidence. Try learning your speech by heart. This will help you to avoid forgetting any important points on the day itself. Especially as you begin to tackle more and more daunting fears, reach out to your support network to help you. If you have to attend a large event, such as a party or conference, bring a close friend or family member along with you for support. Just having a familiar person close can make a huge difference in your confidence levels. If you start to feel overwhelmed, turn to your friend and try to keep your mind off your nerves. People who suffer from social anxiety can find it very difficult to put themselves out there and meet new people. However, this is an essential part of overcoming anxiety and moving forward with your life.  Think of an activity that you enjoy, whether it's knitting, horse riding, or running, and find a group of people in your area who share this interest. You will find it much easier to strike up a conversation with people who have similar interests to your own. If you get invited to a party or event, make sure you say yes. People with social anxiety tend to shy away from group gatherings, but this can cause you to feel even more isolated and unhappy. Make an effort to go to any social gathering (even if it’s only for half an hour). You need to push yourself out of your comfort zone if you want to get better. Taking a class to gain skills is a great way to learn and practice your social skills and assertiveness. Get to know the people in your class and practice your skills with them. If, after working on confronting your anxiety triggers for a while, you're still having trouble moving down the list and still suffering from severe...

Article in English: Practice swimming in a pool that uses non-chlorine based cleaners or fresh water. While chlorine has not been conclusively found to cause eye irritation or corneal damage, it has been found to increase this activity in by-products of pool cleaners. Larger pools should be avoided, as they are most likely to use hypochlorite or elemental chlorine to maintain water quality. If you are in fresh water, you should expect a minimum of irritation, but treated or saltwater is far more likely to contain irritants. While your eyes might become irritated and your corneas irritated, loss of visual acuity is unlikely without excessive time spent practicing. Work at this, minding irritation to your eyes or exhaustion swimming until you can keep your eyes open underwater as long as you can hold your breath. Focus on increasing the time you keep your eyes open and focused underwater each time. Avoid deep or treacherous areas if you are not already a strong swimmer. You will likely want to spread this over several sessions to minimize risk of irritation if you are in a treated pool or saltwater, though it likely should not take too long before you are comfortable. You will want to practice in multiple water sources, which can vary considerably in their visibility and color. Avoid any unsanitary or stagnant water while practicing, as waterborne infections are a risk in small lakes and ponds.  You will need additional practice to parse visual information underwater accurately.  Practice estimating distance with objects that you know are a certain depth or distance from you, and estimate how long it takes you to reach the object to get a sense of your ability to react to these things. If you are diving, avoid going too deep in an unpressurized suit. Pressure changes during ascent can easily cause burst capillaries and damage to the ears. Make sure you can easily equalize the pressure when you dive with ease.

Article in English: Practice using facts in everyday conversation to help yourself stay on track and avoid confrontation when you are being assertive. Try using factual statements instead of hyperboles, which can cast unnecessary blame. For example, if you’re talking to someone about an assignment you don’t want to do, say, “I think I’ll need to spend a full month preparing for this,” instead of, “This thing is going to take forever.” Often, those who lack confidence feel the need to explain themselves. To keep yourself from speaking like someone who is unsure, practice using fewer words to communicate. Simplified speech and assertive speech are often one in the same.  For example, when asked to go out for happy hour after work, avoid saying something like, “I can’t go tonight, I have to go to the grocery store, stop by my mother’s house to let her dog out, then take my own dog for a walk and once I finally get home I have some cleaning to do before my favorite show comes on.” Instead, politely and briefly decline by saying something like, “No thank you. Tonight doesn’t work for me, but maybe another time soon.” This may also make it easier for others to obey your requests. Keep your statements short, direct, and relevant.  If you tend to use fillers such as “like,” “um,” or “yeah,” try to take small breaks in your speech instead. A pause is generally less discernible to your audience than it is to you, and it doesn’t muddle your speech as much as filler words. If you know in advance that you will have to speak to someone about a need, concern, or opinion, rehearse what you want to say. Practice keeping calm, speaking clearly, and making positive statements that express your needs. Some people even find it helpful to write out a script or have a practice conversation with a friend or colleague.  If you have someone act out your conversation with you, ask them for feedback. Let them tell you what you were doing well, and where you could improve. If you are uncomfortable with making decisions on-the-spot, have some pre-scripted...

Article in English: Predators will be an issue regardless of what part of the world you’re in. To avoid encountering them, try to provide them with advance warnings of your approach by whistling or singing as your travel. You should also keep your camp free of food smells by discarding your food remains far away from it. It’s also a good idea to give any fresh animal kills you encounter a wide berth, since some predators will wander away from their food for a while before returning to it. If you do encounter a predator, don’t panic. Don’t look the animal in the eye, and move calmly away from it while making yourself look as big as possible by waving your arms in the air. This is particularly important in tropical climates, where the warm, moist weather can speed infections and many of the local insects may be poisonous. If you don’t have long sleeves or pants, cover your skin by wrapping leaves around your arms and legs and tying them on with pliable twigs. If you’re in a forested area, you can splint a broken bone by lining up 2 tree branches on either side of the bone and tying them in place with shoelaces or young, pliable branches. If you’re not in a forested area with access to branches, you’ll need to avoid moving the bone as much as possible so that it can heal properly. Regardless, you’ll need to rest as much as possible so the bone has the energy it needs to mend. If you feel yourself starting to get sick, or have already gotten sick, the most important care you can give yourself is to stay hydrated and rested. Stay inside your shelter and keep water nearby while you convalesce. You should also try to stay warm. Cold bodies don’t heal as quickly.

Article in English: Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on your recipe. For most recipes, this will be around 350°F (177°C), but yours may be different. Next, insert cupcake liners into your cupcake pan. This method is recommended for chocolate and jam fillings. It is not recommended for frosting, pudding, or cream fillings. You can make the cupcake batter from scratch, or you can use a boxed mix. Follow the directions on the recipe closely. You can do this using an ice cream scoop, a sauce ladle, or a tablespoon. Save the rest of the batter for later. Jam or jelly would work the best for this. You can also try melted chocolate. Whipped cream or frosting are not recommended, however, because they will melt. This amount is for standard-sized cupcakes. If you are making mini cupcakes, try ½ teaspoon instead. Add enough batter until they are about two-thirds to  three-quarters of the way full. Do not over-fill the liners, or the cupcakes will overflow. Most cupcakes will be ready in about 20 minutes, but your recipe may be different. Read the directions, and bake the cupcakes according to that. Allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes first, then take them out of the pan. Allow them to finish cooling on a wire rack before frosting them. You can frost the cupcakes with buttercream frosting, chocolate ganache, or glace icing. Do not frost the cupcakes while they are still warm, or the frosting will melt.

Article in English: Preheating your oven will make sure that it is at a stable temperature and will cook the frozen corn evenly. Most ovens will take around 30-45 minutes to properly heat. Spread the frozen corn on an ovenproof tray and season. Season the corn with herbs and spices, or whatever you desire. You may need to break up frozen lumps of corn. Simply place a tea towel over the lumps and apply pressure with a small skillet or plate. Once the oven is heated and the corn seasoned, you can place the tray in the oven. Roasting times can vary depending on how cooked you would like the corn to be. The corn should be tender after 5 minutes, but you may need to cook it for about 15-20 minutes if you would like to see any color. Once the corn is cooked, remove the tray from the oven and allow the corn to cool slightly. Season the corn with any additional spices and leave it to cool for about 2-3 minutes. Once the corn has cooled, place the corn in a bowl or on a plate for serving.

Article in English: Prejudice, when broken down, basically means pre-judgment. Having awareness that you do, in fact, make unfair assessments or judgments about others is a great starting place. Take a close look at your life and your everyday interactions. Think about the beliefs, thoughts, and opinions you have developed about others. When did these prejudices take root? What is happening to reinforce them in your life?  Researchers believe that, as early as age 3, children begin developing an attachment with their own cultural or racial group, the in-group, and unconsciously have negative views of all other groups, the out-groups.  Some of these biases are learned within the home or cultural group. Others are emphasized within the media. So, we know that children learn prejudice early on in life. Given that prejudice is learned, it, too, can be unlearned. No matter how long you have had certain viewpoints about other groups, it is entirely possible to change these views. Prejudice can be unlearned with diversity education. One study found that students who took a prejudice seminar had significantly reduced prejudice and stereotypes after completing the seminar. your personal prejudices. Implementing a change as substantial as transforming your personal prejudices requires great commitment. You must truly want to change these biases with maximum effort and continue in the change process despite difficulty or loss of motivation. You can show commitment to changing your personal prejudices by developing a plan to take action. Choose one prejudice at a time that you want to change and identify methods in which you can change it. Set a deadline. Over time, check your progress.

Article in English: Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with paper towels. Under normal conditions, you would not want to place paper towels in your oven. An oven uses dry heat, which could cause the paper towels to catch fire. Since zucchini contains a large quantity of water, though, the paper towels will quickly become damp enough to prevent them from drying out and catching fire in the oven. Spread the noodles out in as flat a layer as possible.  If you cannot create a single layer of zucchini noodles, consider using multiple baking sheets instead of just one. In order to properly drain, all of the noodles need to be touching the paper towel lining the pan. Otherwise, the noodles on the bottom may not dry out as evenly as those on the top. Sprinkle the zucchini noodles with salt before putting them in the oven. The salt will help draw out some of the moisture. Place the zucchini noodles in the oven and let them bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the majority of the moisture inside the noodles has dripped or “sweated” out. Sweating is an important part of the process when you plan to prepare a dish with zucchini noodles in it. It is the most effective way to remove moisture from the noodles, and if you do not remove as much moisture as possible before use, the noodles could actually cause your final dish to become watery. Wrap the paper towels around the zucchini noodles and squeeze the noodles gently to get any remaining moisture out. Note that the noodles will be dry at this point but no longer soft. As a result, you will need to cook them further.
