Article in English: Follow up a scary movie with comedy. Or, watch an episode of a funny show that you like. Focusing on something other than the horror flick can help dissipate your fear. Laughter will also help to change your mood and make you feel better.   Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Napoleon Dynamite, Zoolander, Even Stevens, and Spongebob Squarepants are examples of funny programs you may like.  Watch funny animal videos. Seeing cute animals do funny things will likely distract you from your fears. Get out your phone or computer and scroll through your social media feeds. You can also look up funny videos online, or browse through your favorite store’s website. Thinking about something other than the movie will calm you down and push the fear from your mind.  Check out “Grumpy Cat” videos on YouTube for a good laugh. Catch up with your friends by looking at their online profiles or photos, or chatting online. Choose a book that won’t frighten you -- now is not the time to start a Stephen King novel. Pick something upbeat, funny, or relaxing. You could also read a magazine or a comic book. Examples of funny books include Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key, Half Magic, Swindle, or How to Eat Fried Worms. Choose your favorite album or artist and turn the volume up. Sing along, dance, or tidy up your room while listening to the music. Music is a great way to change your mood and will help you think of other things, as you probably have associations with certain songs or artists. For example, listening to your Justin Bieber playlist may make you think of the Justin Bieber concert you attended with your best friend. Focus on remembering how much fun you had, and you’ll forget about the horror movie. Meditate, do yoga, count sheep, take a bubble bath, try progressive muscle relaxation or simply breathe deeply. These activities will slow your heart rate and help you calm down. Focus entirely on the calming activity to help you forget about the horror movie. Spend time working on a crossword puzzle or doing sudoku. Work on a school...

Article in English: Following a plan will help you gain control over your anger at the moment. The key is to gain control of your body's response first. Once you do this, you can work out what is bothering you and why. When you understand this, you can assertively express yourself to make sure you are expressing your anger in a productive way. It takes lots of practice and patience to deal with your feelings in a new, constructive way. Have a specific set of actions in mind for when you feel angry. For example, once you recognize that you are feeling angry, step outside for five minutes. Take some deep breaths and repeat a calming phrase to yourself. This process will help you defuse your anger. When a person is angry, he may tend to think, “Everything's ruined,” or “I'll never be able to do that.” This type of thinking reduces things to an all-or-nothing scenario because the person thinks that the problem is the end of the world. Avoid words and phrases that put situations in absolute terms. Stop framing things with “always” or “never.” Instead, think to yourself: “This situation is frustrating, but it's not the end of the world.” Oftentimes, you can avoid angry outbursts by avoiding the situation that makes you angry.  For example, if you know that you get angry at the morning traffic, try to leave at a different time, or take public transit. If you know you get angry because you skipped lunch, be diligent about eating properly. When you harbor resentment against someone, your anger will only continue and become hard to control. Accept others for who they are. Focus on how you handle a situation, rather than how someone else handles it. Letting go of grudges will help you refocus your energy on more positive things. Exercise can help dissipate anger. For adults and children, research shows that exercise helps with mood regulation and controlling emotions. Try exercising when you're in a mad moment, or use it daily to release aggression. Getting a good night's sleep helps people regulate their emotions. Emotions are harder to...

Summary in Russian:

Составьте план по контролю своего гнева. Избегайте мыслей в стиле «все или ничего». Избегайте тех ситуаций, которые вас раздражают. Не держите в себе обиды. Тренируйтесь. Обнуляйте свои эмоции хорошим ночным сном. Попробуйте медитацию. Не расстраивайтесь, если у вас снова повторятся вспышки гнева.


Article in English: Following your apology, give your BFF the opportunity to respond. Let them express their anger and frustrations, and their pain and discomforts. Do not interrupt them with defensive comments; do not force them to share the blame with you.  Maintain eye contact with your BFF. Lean forward to signal that you are engaged in the conversation. Mirror their body language to show that you sympathize with them. After saying your peace and actively listening to your best friend’s response, stop dwelling on the conflict. In order for your BFF to forgive you, you must recognize that you have done all you can to remedy the situation. If you have truly accepted responsibility for your actions, you will not bring up the conflict again. While you have apologized for your actions, your BFF may not be ready to put the conflict behind them. Remain patient with your BFF. Do not pressure them into forgiving you.  If they ask for space, wait for them to contact you. Be patient; this can take a week, a month, or even longer. If you press your friend to talk before they are ready, they may get stressed or frustrated and block you. This will make it harder to reconnect with them. In general, the more severe the fight was, the longer the forgiveness will take. Breaking their toy probably won't take as long as making with their boyfriend or girlfriend.

Article in English: Food allergy can be one of the contributing factors to IBS in cats. Choosing foods that are hypoallergenic in nature can alleviate symptoms.  Your vet will likely recommend you find a protein and carbohydrate source your cat has not eaten before. Rabbit, venison, or duck-based diets are usually a good starting option as most conventional cat foods do not use these meats. Certain cat food brands, such as Royal Cainn Limited Ingredients Diet, use hypoallergenic products only. You might want to switch to this brand of cat food and see if symptoms improve. Low residue foods are designed to be easy to digest and absorb, lessening bowel issues related to IBS.  Most conventional cat food brands offer a low residue option, but might not be labeled as low residue. Instead, the company might use labels like "Scientific Formula." Ask your veterinarian what brands and categories of cat food you should buy if you're trying a low residue diet.  Iams provides foods that are specifically labeled low residue and made for cats with intestinal problems. This might be a good route. If a low residue brand is not available in the store, you can order a bag online. Fiber is key in many species, cats included, for regular and smooth bowel movements. Upping your cat's fiber intake could improve some of the diarrhea and stomach discomfort related to IBS. Many brands of cat food, such as Royal Cainn, are labeled high fiber. They might be difficult to find in department stores, as most owners do not prioritize a cat's fiber instinct, but you can always make the purchase online.

Article in English: Food has a significant impact on your breath: As it is digested, the food that you eat is absorbed into your bloodstream and eventually exhaled by your lungs, which means the food odours come out of your mouth when you breathe. Foods like garlic, onions and spicy foods can lead to morning breath.  Fruits and vegetables are an essential part of a healthy diet that helps to keep bad breath at bay. Try chewing a sprig of parsley to freshen your breath. This herb contains chlorophyll, which helps remove odors from the breath. These modes of eating are no-no’s when it comes to friendly breath. When you don’t consume enough carbohydrates, your body shifts to breaking down fat at a high rate; this leads to the production of ketones and the phenomenon known as “ketone breath,” which is another way of saying “stinky”! Eating stimulates saliva production, which in turn wets the mouth and creates an inhospitable environment for foul-smelling bacteria. Get an early start on the fight against morning breath and eat breakfast first thing in the a.m. Coffee has a very strong aroma that lingers in your mouth, and is difficult to brush off the very back of your tongue. For a quick pick-me-up with a less offensive smell, try tea in an herbal or green variety.

Article in English: Food is a great way to encourage a stray dog to come closely enough to you to catch him. Fill an empty, crinkly bag of chips with treats that a stray dog would likely love, such as hotdogs or bits of pizza. Where the dog can see you, loudly crinkle the bag and drop the food on the ground.  Pretend like you are picking the food off the ground and eating it yourself. The stray dog will likely become curious at your actions and begin walking toward you.  To appear less threatening, sit on the ground while you are enticing him with food. Be aware that stray dogs may have a decreased sense of smell. Therefore, he may not be enticed by the food, no matter how tasty or smelly it is. If you are driving and happen to see a stray dog by the side of road, pull over safely and try to entice him into your car with food. A dog catch pole is a humane way to catch a stray dog. However, you should use it only  if your own safety will not be at risk when using it. Before trying to catch a stray dog in this way, set up a crate nearby in which you can place the dog after catching him.  Make the crate comfortable by setting blankets inside of it, along with some food and water. If you can entice the stray dog with food, allow him to come closely enough to you where you can quickly hook the pole around his neck.  Move him quickly to the crate when you have hooked him. Release the pole when he is safely in the crate.  Do not make eye contact with the stray as you are catching him. The stray would perceive this as a threat. If your local pet store does not carry dog catch poles, ask the store's staff about where you could purchase one. If you are not able to transport the stray dog to an animal shelter yourself, call your local animal control center. If you were able to entice the stray dog into your car with food, call animal control immediately. It can be dangerous to drive with an unrestrained stray animal in your backseat.

Article in English: Food is one of the biggest issues post-surgery as we all need to eat, and oftentimes cooking and even shopping are difficult in the wake of an operation. Be prepared to help your friend with meals during their recovery.  Offer to get groceries. If you're able to go grocery shopping for your friend, do so. Check in with them if you're planning a shopping trip for yourself and see if there's anything they need. Bring over dishes. If your friend is uncomfortable with someone else doing their shopping, cook for them. Great options for meals are dishes that are re-heatable and keep for long periods. Aim for casseroles, soups, lasagnas, and salads. Be aware of any diet restrictions your friend might have. Oftentimes, certain foods are forbidden after an operation. Ask your friend about any kinds of food the doctor has advised against before preparing them a dish. Also, if your friend had any diet restrictions before the surgery - such as being gluten-free or a vegetarian - make sure you are aware of this. Don't tell them to call you if they need anything.  They will probably not want to bother you. Offer specific help, like, "I have some free time this afternoon, do you need help with anything?" Household chores are a burden after surgery and your friend will really appreciate a helping hand.  Do laundry, dishes, dusting, and any other cleaning. Your friend is probably laid up, so don't let them fall behind. If you have an extra hour, donate it to your friend in need. If they have pets, help with that. Clean the cat's litter box, walk the dog, make sure the animals have food or water. All of this will be appreciated. If needed, provide free childcare. Whether your friend is a single parent or has a spouse who's busy with work, chances are they will need help with the kids after surgery. Free childcare is much appreciated. While cooking and cleaning are tangible means to help a friend in need, sometimes recovery gets boring and all a person wants is good conversation and a little entertainment.

Article in English: Foods that have been processed and combined with white flour and sugar are completely stripped of their healthy fiber content. Eating foods without fiber is hard on digestive system and can lead to constipation. These foods are common culprits:  White bread Snack foods Fast foods Fried foods Dairy Candy Alcoholic beverages like wine, beer and whiskey among others have a dehydrating effect. Being dehydrated can make it much more difficult to pass stools. If you tend to get constipated often, you might want to consider cutting back on alcohol. Stick with just a glass per evening, or it would be best if you eliminate it entirely. When you do decide to drink, make sure you have a glass of water for every glass of alcohol. Caffeine can sometimes help with mild constipation, since it's a diuretic, but it can make prolonged constipation worse, since it’s dehydrating. If you have a three cup a day habit, you might want to cut back for awhile to see if it helps you avoid constipation. Try drinking just one cup per day, or switch to a low-caffeine tea. When you're on the go, you might put off going to the bathroom, but this isn't good for your digestive system. Waiting too long to go to the bathroom is a common reason for constipation, so any time you get the urge, heed it. It can help to have a schedule. For example, you might want to plan to go to the bathroom and have a bowel movement every morning. Once you start this type of routine, your body will respond by staying more regular. Running, yoga, and other physical activities improve digestion. If you’re feeling constipated, try going for a brisk jog or walk to get things moving again. Exercising three or four times a week will help you stay regular and prevent constipation. For some people, sitting on a toilet isn't the best possible position to help them easily have a bowel movement. Many have found that a squatting position makes the process go more smoothly. The easiest way to try this position is to prop up your feet on a stool while you're sitting, so that...

Article in English: Foods which are high in soluble fiber will naturally reduce your cholesterol. These are easy to find and taste wonderful, especially when well prepared. Some foods you may want to include in your diet include:  Vegetables. Eat lots of high-fiber veggies, such as broccoli, spinach, cabbage, kale, and carrots. Oatmeal. Don’t dress it up with lots of butter or milk, as this will nullify the beneficial effects. Pumpernickel, rye, and other whole grain breads. These are a great source of fiber and are very filling. High-fiber fruits like apples and pears. Who doesn’t like apples and pears? You can also eat prunes, which get a bad rep but actually taste like healthy candy. Beans, such as kidney, garbanzo, pinto, and black beans. If you aren’t getting enough fiber through your diet, then you could also try adding a fiber supplement. These can come in the form of mixable powders, chewable tablets, or a number of other forms. Follow the directions for use listed on the packaging to get the most benefit. This will help keep you from building more bad cholesterol. Instead of using butter and coconut oil, you can switch to using olive oil. Other foods that contain high amounts of trans fats include:  Meat Full-fat dairy, such as cheese, yogurt, milk, and ice cream Eggs, particularly the yolks Packaged cookies, cakes, and crackers Margarine Red yeast rice is commonly used in Chinese medicine and cooking. It can produce similar cholesterol lowering effects as a statin, so it’s important to take it under the supervision of a naturopathic doctor. Take red yeast rice exactly as prescribed if your doctor advises you to. Red yeast rice contains monacolin K, the same active ingredient as the cholesterol drug lovastatin. Be aware that red yeast rice may also contain a contaminant called citrinin, which can cause kidney failure in some people.

Article in English: Foot fracture symptoms often start out as a slight discomfort towards the front of the foot, where most of the force and pressure is exerted. Many times, this pain is very slight and the onset is only during long periods of exercise, running or working out; this is called a "stress fracture" and is actually a tiny crack in the bone.  As soon as you stop your activity, the pain often vanishes. This leads many people to disregard and not even consider a fracture.  Other symptoms include swelling, throbbing pain, and discoloration or bruising. This is universal for any kind of bone fracture or stress fracture, and is the best way to treat a fracture at home for the first 72 hours after your injury or until you can seek medical care.  Rest. Immediately stop what you are doing and refrain from any activities that cause pain to your foot. No more exercising, running, or whatever it was you were doing when you felt the pain; stop and get off your feet. Ice. As soon as possible, put ice on the injured area. If your foot is fractured, it will soon start to swell, if it hasn't already. Do not apply heat, which would encourage more blood to rush to the area and make the swelling worse. Ice it down. Using crushed ice in a damp tea towel, ice the area for 20 minutes every two hours.  Compression. Wrap the injured area in a bandage fairly snugly to help reduce swelling. Be careful that it's not so tight that it cuts off the circulation; you'll know it's too tight if you experience numbness, tingling, or discoloration. Leave the toes unbandaged if possible to easily check the circulation. Elevation. Sit down or lie down, but keep the injured foot elevated. The idea is to keep the injured foot above the level of your heart in order to decrease swelling. Your fracture is likely to cause some considerable pain, so treat the pain safely while promoting healing in your bones. Avoid naproxen sodium and ibuprofen, which some doctors believe have the potential to delay the healing process with bone injuries. As soon as the pain and...

Article in English: For a basic PVC paint job, you'll need a large sheet of high-grit sandpaper, a small container of acetone, a clean washcloth, one or more cans of spray paint in your chosen color and the PVC you wish to paint. Make sure you have everything you need before you begin painting.  Practice proper workshop safety. Wear gloves, protective eyewear and a ventilated facemask to filter out dust and chemicals.  Choose a spray paint that's specially formulated for use on plastics, such as Krylon Fusion or Rust-Oleum Plastic. Lay down a large dropcloth or plastic tarp where you plan to do your painting. Keep all furniture and nearby appliances and electronics covered. Remember to work in a space that permits proper airflow, like a garage or workshop with the doors and windows open.  Work in a well-ventilated, open space. This will not only help the paint dry faster but keep you from being exposed to harmful acetone and paint fumes.  Spray paint tends to disperse when it's applied, so a dropcloth will be useful for protecting floors, countertops and other work surfaces. If you don't have access to a dropcloth, you could also use a few overlapping sheets of newspaper.

Article in English: For a character analysis assignment in school, your character may be assigned to you. But if you get to choose, make sure you only consider characters who play a dynamic role in the story. Those characters who appear flat (one dimensional - someone who is only good or only bad and has no complex motivations to consider) are not good choices for a character analysis.  For example, if you are reading Mark Twain's classic Huckleberry Finn, you might consider choosing Huck or the runaway slave, Jim, because they are dynamic characters who show a wide range of emotion, who often act in unpredictable ways, and who move the plot forward with their actions. It might be less effective to choose the duke or the king, the tricksters Huck and Jim meet in Arkansas, because they have fairly minor roles in the story, they don't show a wide range of emotions, and, more than anything, they're simply stock characters (the story needs a humorous detour and a way for Jim and Huck to be separated, so that Huck can have his infamous All right, then, I'll go to hell! moment, and the duke and the king fulfill that role). Even if you've read the story before, you need to read it again because you'll notice new things now that you have a specific task in mind. Notice every place that your character appears and consider the following:  How does the author describe them? For the Huck Finn example, you might think about how Huck is described as a backwoods boy, but he clearly wrestles with larger issues that have complex social implications - like slavery and religion.  What kinds of relationships does your character have with other characters? Think about how Huck relates to runaway slave Jim, both in the beginning of the novel and at the end. Think about Huck's relationship with his drunk, abusive father and how it shaped his identity.  How do the actions of your character move the plot forward? Huck is the main character, so obviously his actions are important. But what, specifically, is special about the way Huck acts? How does he...

Article in English: For a personal time capsule, 10 to 30 years may be enough, whereas a generational time capsule meant for your grandchildren may need to last 60 to 70 years. If you want your capsule to be opened at an even later date, you will want to start planning the logistics. It's okay to not have a specific date for the capsule to be opened. Maybe you want to open it when you are married or reach retirement. If your capsule is only supposed to last 5 to 10 years, a simple, everyday container will keep the contents safely tucked away and easily portable, without the risk of outdoor stowing. Keep in mind that a capsule made of cardboard or paper may be completely destroyed by fire, flood, or other natural disaster. If you have a used coffee tin around, the aluminum will hold up below ground for around 10 years. To avoid getting water past the lid, bury the container inside a Ziploc bag, or other airtight plastic wrapping. If you plan to place the time capsule outdoors or bury the time capsule, select a container that is likely to survive, like a commercial or home-built aluminum, stainless steel, or PVC plastic capsule.  One example of a sturdy home-built PVC container is a PVC tube with an end cap attached with PVC cement and a test cap lid that can be screwed tightly into the pipe.  Consider using desiccant "gel bags", such as those included in the packaging of electronic goods and in bottles of vitamin tablets. These help to absorb any moisture that may have been present at the time of encapsulation and help to kill microbes that may make some of your items perish.

Article in English: For a small dinner party, you should choose at least three different appetizers to serve. This amount will grow as your guest list grows.  Stick with three appetizers when inviting 10 guests or less.  If you're inviting 10 to 20 guests, offer five different choices. When your guest list ranges between 20 and 40 guests, offer seven selections. If your guest list exceeds 40 guests, provide nine different choices. You do not need to provide more than nine different appetizers, no matter how large your guest list grows. Appetizers can be grouped into various families. By choosing selections from more than one family, you'll provide enough variety to wake up your guests' tastebuds and prepare them for the main course.  Choosing selections from only one family, on the other hand, can cause guests to become too bored or ambivalent toward a certain taste by the time the appetizers are finished. In general, appetizers can be classified under five families: garden, starch, protein, snacks, and dips/spreads.  Garden appetizers include vegetables, fruits, potatoes, and olives. Starch appetizers include finger sandwiches, dumplings, pizza, phyllo pastry, bruschetta, breadsticks, crackers, and buns. Protein appetizers include meatballs, sliced meats, skewered meats, chicken wings, sushi, and egg dishes. Snack appetizers include nuts, chips, pretzels, cheese cubes, and popcorn. Dips and spread include guacamole, relishes, preserves, compound butters, and any other spread served with crackers, fruits, or vegetables. Before selecting your appetizers, you should plan out your main course. Once you've determined that, you should choose appetizers that prepare the palette without overwhelming it.  Complements are essentially opposites. If your main course will be filled with rich foods, make sure that most of your appetizers are fairly light and fresh. Conversely, if you're serving a lighter dish as your main course, opt for rich appetizer choices. Do not repeat flavors too often. You can work around a theme, but using the same...

Article in English: For a small size pond, digging with a shovel should be sufficient. Keep these factors in mind as you dig:  Since you want to facilitate the growth of wildlife, your pond should be deep enough that it won’t freeze solid over the winter. If you’re in an area that gets cold, you’ll want to dig the pond several feet deep so that the animals living there can live overwinter. One side of the pond should have a gradual slope, a beach of sorts, so that animals that wander in will be able to make their way out. Animals can drown in ponds with steep cliffs on every side. Reserve the topsoil in a pile as you dig. You’ll be using this later when you edge the pond. When you’re finished digging, remove sharp rocks from the hole. First line the pond with a layer of sand, making sure to cover every crevice. Next add a layer of biodegradable or man-made materials. You can use newspapers or burlap, but biodegradable materials may rot in time, effectively leaving you with no protection other than the layer of sand. Stones may force their way up through this sand layer and damage the liner. So consider non-biodegradable material such as specialist pond underlay as an option. When you've placed this layer down, cover it with a large piece of waterproof pond liner. Different types of waterproof pond liners are available at home improvement stores, and often at garden stores. Use a hose to fill the pond up to the edge, making sure to stop before it overflows.You may also fill the pond with collected rainwater if you’d prefer not to use pumped water. Trim the overlapping liner back to about eight to ten inches (20 to 25 cm). Lift back the pond liner and use a spade to cut a 6-inch (16 cm) slit into the earth around the entire pond. Insert the spade a few inches into the slit, maneuver it so it is parallel to the ground, and gently lift the grass around the entire slit, creating a sort of grass flap around the entire pond. Now lift back the grass flap and tuck the edges of the pond liner into the slit, replacing the grass flap over...

Article in English: For all additional information, such as the make of engine or the exact assembly plant that made the vehicle, you'll need to know the internal system that car manufacturer uses.  If you don't know the car manufacturer, you can look it up based on the second character. Look up the most common manufacturer's code online. Try to find a VIN lookup service or the VIN decoding sheets on your car manufacturer's website. Failing that, use a search engine to look for "VIN decoding sheet" + "(name of company)". This may be difficult or impossible for some manufacturers. Contact the company's support service if they have one and ask about VIN decoding specific to their cars. Ask an auto service shop if you can see their decoding charts. The workers there use the charts to direct the repairs and adjustments they make. Depending on the manufacturer, the third character of your VIN is used either to narrow down the location further to a company division, or to describe the vehicle's type. Most of the time, this character simply means "car" or "truck", or provides little information that the country code doesn't, for instance "made by Honda Canada". These make up the "Vehicle Description System" or VDS. According to specific company codes, they describe the vehicle's engine and transmission types, exact model, and similar information. Technically, the 9th character is also considered part of the "VDS" section, but is used to confirm the VIN is real, not to describe a component. If you want to know exactly which factory was used to make your car, the 11th digit will tell you. Just like everything else in this section, you'll need to find that company's system to find out more. See the beginning of this section for more details on how to accomplish that. Each manufacturer can decide how to use this space for their own purposes. Most commonly, this is a single 6-digit number that tells you the vehicle's serial number.  Some manufacturers never repeat serial numbers, while others start again at 000001 each year. The 10th...

Article in English: For all bills except $1 and $2 dollar bills, there should be a security thread (plastic strip) running from top to bottom.  The thread is embedded in (not printed on) the paper and runs vertically through the clear field to the left of the Federal Reserve Seal.  On authentic bills, this should be easily visible against a light source. The printing should say "USA" followed by the denomination of the bill, which is spelled out for $10 and $20 bills but presented in numerals on the $5, $50 and $100 bills.  These threads are placed in different places on each denomination to prevent lower-denomination bills being bleached and reprinted as higher denominations. You should be able to read the inscriptions from both the front or back of the note.  Also, it should only be visible against a light source. Plastic strips in high-denomination bills should glow a specific color.  The $5 dollar bill should glow blue; the $10 bill should glow orange; the $20 bill should glow green; the $50 bill should glow yellow; the $100 bill should glow pink. If your bill remains white under a black light, it is likely a counterfeit. Use natural light to see if your bill bears an image of the person whose portrait is on the bill.  Hold the bill up to a light to check for a watermark.  A watermark bearing the image of the person whose portrait is on the bill can be found on all $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills series 1996 and later, and on $5 bills series 1999 and later. The watermark is embedded in the paper to the right of the portrait and should be visible from both sides of the bill. Color shifting ink is ink that appears to change color when the bill is tilted.  Color-shifting ink can be found on $100, $50 and $20 dollar bills series 1996 and later, and on $10 dollar bills series 1999 and later. $5 and lower bills do not yet have this feature.  The color originally appeared to change from green to black, but it goes from copper to green in recent redesigns of the bills. This includes small words or numbers that are hardly visible to...

Article in English: For all of the methods below, you will need a tinder nest to nurture the sparks and/or embers you create into a flame. In order to create friction and maintain a flame, you will need to use dry wood, as best as you can get.  Dry wood hiding places. If the area is damp, you may have to check the interior of logs, under ledges, and other places that are protected from wetness. Know your trees. Not all wood ignites equally. Depending on your locality, some particular trees start fires more readily. For instance, paper birch yields paper-like bark that, even when wet, often makes an excellent tinder. Look beyond wood. Although fire-building is usually taught in the spirit of building a fire in the wilderness, you may have to adapt. In an urban situation there may be no trees, so you may have to look at things like old books, wooden pallets, furniture, and the like to get a fire started.

Article in English: For an ambient mosquito repellent that's similar to a mosquito lamp or candle, gather together an empty container with a lid, an unused dish sponge, and one or any combination of the following essential oils: lavender, pennyroyal, eucalyptus, citronella, peppermint, or lemongrass.  Saturate the sponge in one or any combination of the essential oils. Place the sponge in the container, close it, and let it stand for 24 hours. Use the ambient repellent by opening the lid of the can and letting the essential oils waft out from the can. This is a very basic recipe that you can expand and elaborate on. This recipe calls for eucalyptus oil, but feel free to use any combination of oils listed above. Keep in mind that this recipe has not been proven to repel mosquitoes.  Into a spray bottle, mix together:  1/2 cup witch hazel. 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar. 30-50 drops of essential oils. Choose any combination of citronella, clove, lemongrass, rosemary, tea tree, cajeput, eucalyptus, cedar, catnip, lavender, or mint.   Shake ingredients together and spray over uncovered portions of your body. Avoid getting repellent in eyes or mouth. Avoid getting any on your clothing or it could stain. This recipe uses boiled herbs and witch hazel as a base. It may help repel mosquitos, although it hasn't been proven to be effective.  Bring 1 cup of water to boil and add to it 3-4 tablespoons of any combination of dried peppermint, spearmint, citronella, lemongrass, catnip, lavender, or cloves. Cover pot.  After two minutes, remove pot from the element and, leaving the cover on, let rest until lukewarm. Strain water into 1/2 cup witch hazel (or rubbing alcohol) and store in a spray bottle in your refrigerator. Use on skin as needed.

Article in English: For an electric griddle, preheat it to 350°F (177°C). In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the hot chocolate, vanilla, and egg until well combined. In a separate bowl, sift or whisk them together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until properly combined. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well, and use a whisk or rubber spatula to combine everything. Don’t overmix the batter, because this can develop the gluten in the flour and make for chewy rather than fluffy pancakes. This will give the flour time to absorb the moisture in the batter. It will also give the gluten time to relax, and this will make for light and fluffy pancakes. If in a hurry, you can skip the resting step, but your pancakes won’t be quite as fluffy. This will make one pancake. Repeat for however many pancakes your griddle will hold, leaving enough space between them to allow for flipping. When bubbles form and start to pop, after two to three minutes, use a spatula to flip the pancakes. Once they’ve been flipped, cook the pancakes for an additional two minutes, or until they're golden brown on both sides. An oven isn't necessary, but if you're doing a big batch, it's the best way to keep cooked pancakes warm while the others are in the griddle. Pre-heat the oven to 225 F (107 C), and then place the plate or cooling rack and pan in there. When the first batch of pancakes is in the oven, add another tablespoon (14 g) of butter to the hot griddle. Add more batter and continue the process until all the pancakes are done. Place a pancake on a serving plate and garnish as desired. Enjoy!

Article in English: For back injuries that are not overly severe, taking Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and/or Ibuprofen (Advil) for pain control and inflammation may be of help. Both of these medications are available over-the-counter at your local pharmacy or drugstore. Follow the dosing instructions on the bottle. Robaxacet is another option for pain control that also contains a muscle relaxant property. If your back pain is caused from a strained or injured muscle, this is likely to be your best bet to help to alleviate the pain, as well as to speed recovery. If you have sustained a more severe back injury, you may need to opt for stronger pain medications. Interestingly enough, medical trials have shown that getting the pain under control early in a back injury is key to optimal healing. This is because chronic back pain can become a neurological pattern in the central nervous system which makes it more difficult to get rid of the longer you have had it for. Stronger painkillers include prescription strength Naproxen or Tylenol #3 (Tylenol mixed with Codeine), among others. Depending upon the specific type of injury in your back, sometimes an injection (of a corticosteroid medication, normally, which works to fight inflammation and pain) can be of great help. Speak to your doctor if you are interested, or to your naturopath for "prolotherapy" (which is the "natural equivalent" to a corticosteroid injection). As a last resort for severe back pain, surgeons can either implant a device that stimulates your spinal cord to help diminish pain, or they can perform back surgery if there is an anatomical injury that can be resolved through surgery. Note that both of these are "last resort" options that are only considered after you have "failed" to improve with lifestyle methods, rest, and medication. More than 50% of people with chronic back pain develop temporary or ongoing depression alongside the back pain, oftentimes related to the disability they face as a result of the injury. If you feel like you may have depression, or be at risk...

Article in English: For best freezing results, freeze berries that are juicy, tender, and flavorful as can be. Freezing berries that are too tart or a little mushy will leave you disappointed in their texture and flavor when they thaw.  Harvest blueberries early in the morning - that's when their flavor is strongest.  If you don't freeze blueberries right after harvesting them, keep them cool in the refrigerator until you're ready. When it comes to washing blueberries before freezing, there are two camps. There is research that shows that washing blueberries before freezing can result in slightly tougher skin once the berries thaw. Others say the difference is imperceptible, and they'd rather not have dirt in their freezer.  If the berries are washed before frozen, you can enjoy eating a frozen one without having to thaw it. If you're planning to use the berries in a recipe for pie or another cooked dessert, washing them before freezing shouldn't be a problem. If you decide to wash before freezing, rinse the berries gently and let them dry completely before freezing. A cookie sheet or large roasting pan should do the trick. Spread them out so that they aren't piled on top of each other.

Article in English: For best results, exercise for at least 30 minutes at a time, three to five days a week.  These cardio activities are particularly effective for getting rid of back fat.  They will burn calories and strengthen your back muscles:  Rowing, boxing and swimming. Other cardio exercises to include are:  running/jogging, walking, biking, using the elliptical or dancing. The benefits of cardio don't just stop at toning your back. Cardio has also been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, improve cholesterol and triglyceride levels, improve heart function, and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.  You cannot "spot treat" or lose weight in only one particular area.  You need to lower your overall body weight and decrease body fat to see a reduction in one particular area.  Cardio exercises will help support this. This is a way to burn fat more quickly.  It will not only tone your back, but tone and trim fat from all over your body.   Doing higher intensity interval training can help burn more fat and increase your fat burn after you've completed the exercise.  One way to do interval training is by running: Run at a vigorous pace for several minutes, return to a more comfortable pace for five minutes, then speed up your routine for another two minutes. Continue your entire routine in this manner for 15–20 minutes. Consider High intensity interval training. The NIH defines HIIT as exercising at a high intensity for 30 seconds to several minutes with bouts of either no or low intensity exercise for a minute or two in between. Doing this actually amplifies the benefits seen in doing normal cardio exercises. It can improve your cardiovascular health and raise your metabolism. When exercising at high intensity, you should be perspiring and breathless enough that you cannot speak phrases or have a conversation. Do HIIT training for 20 minutes, with an additional five minute warm-up and cool-down. There are some specific exercises you can do to strengthen your back that don’t require special machines.

Article in English: For blooming shrubs, trim them in the winter when they're dormant to prevent stunting flower growth. You can trim non-flowering shrubs anytime except late autumn when any new growth the plant has after trimming won't have time to mature before it goes dormant.  If you're growing a hedge, trim it when the branches look overgrown until about 6 weeks before your area's usual first frost. Avoid doing extensive trimming when it is not your shrub's trimming season. Light trimming to keep it from looking overgrown is fine, but too much may damage your plant. This will make cleanup easier and catch any small branches or leaves that fall on the ground. If you're trimming multiple shrubs, clean the tarp off and move it around as you work through the different shrubs. Set up 2 stakes on each side of the shrub and tie a string between them. Keep the string taut and use it as the height that you'll trim the shrub to. If you want an especially precise measurement, use a level to position the strings to make sure they are even. If the shrub is small and close to your home or siding, you could also use either as a leveling guide as you cut. Avoid cutting below the guideline to keep your leveling job even. When you've finished trimming along the top, examine your work. Check for and cut away any remaining branches that seem out of place. A hedge trimmer is ideal for cutting the shrub's height because running it over the top will give you a smoother finish. The base of your shrub should be the widest part of the plant. Examine the shrub after you have made the top even. If your shrub seems top-heavy, use your shears or hedge trimmer to make it thinner.

Article in English: For consistency, it helps to enter the number in consecutive cells in either a row or column, and for readability, a column is better. The MODE function's format is "=MODE(Cx:Dy)," where C and D represent the letter of the column of the first and last cell in the range, and x and y represent the number of the first and last row in the range. (Although different letters are used in this example, you will use the same column letter for both the first and last cell if you entered the data in a column of cells or the same row number for both the first and last cell if you entered the data in a row of cells.)  You can also specify each cell individually, up to 255 cells, as in "=MODE(A1, A2, A3)," but this is not advisable unless you have only a very small dataset and do not plan to add to it. You can also use the function with constants, for example, "=MODE(4,4,6)," but this requires editing the function each time you wish to search for a different mode. You may want to format the cell in which the mode will display with bolding or italics to distinguish it from the numbers in the dataset. This normally happens automatically in Excel, but if you have set up your spreadsheet for manual calculation, you'll need to press the F9 key to display the mode.  For a dataset of 10, 7, 9, 8, 7, 0 and 4 entered in cells 1 through 8 of Column A, the function =MODE(A1:A8) will deliver a result of 7, because 7 appears more often in the data than any other number. If the data set contains more than one number that qualifies as the mode (such as 7 and 9 each appearing twice and every other number appearing only once), whichever mode number is listed first in the data set will be the result. If none of the numbers in the data set appear more often than any other, the MODE function will display the error result #N/A. The MODE function is available in all versions of Excel, including Excel 2010, which includes it for compatibility with spreadsheets created in earlier versions.

Article in English: For dry herb teas, you will need to use one teaspoon of the herb you have selected. If you are using fresh herbs, then you will need about three tablespoons of the herb. Fresh herbs still have water in them so they are larger than dried herbs. If you are using willow bark, add three to four one inch pieces to boiling water.  Then, cover and boil the tea for 15 to 25 minutes. Place your herbs into your tea infuser and then place the infuser into a mug. If you do not have a tea infuser, then you can just place your herbs in a mug and strain them out after steeping the tea. Pour one cup of boiling water over your herbs and then allow the tea to steep for 10 to 15 minutes.  After time is up, remove the tea strainer or pour the tea through a fine sieve to remove the herbs. It is best to make teas fresh, but you can store in the refrigerator for one to three days. One serving contains about six to eight ounces of liquid. You can drink three to four cups of herbal tea every day.  Don’t go over four cups per day without speaking to your physician, naturopath, or herbalist first.  You can also add a little honey or lemon to your tea if desired.

Article in English: For equivalency problems that require the quadratic formula, we still begin by using cross multiplication. However, any cross multiplication that involves multiplying variable terms by other variable terms is likely to result in an expression that can't easily be solved via algebra. In cases like these, you may need to use techniques like factoring and/or the Quadratic Formula. For example, let's look at the equation ((x +1)/3) = (4/(2x - 2)). First, let's cross multiply:  (x + 1) × (2x - 2) = 2x2 + 2x -2x - 2 = 2x2 - 2 4 × 3 = 12 2x2 - 2 = 12. At this point, we want to express this equation in quadratic form (ax2 + bx + c = 0), which we do by setting the equation equal to zero. In this case, we subtract 12 from both sides to get  2x2 - 14 = 0. Some values may equal 0. Though 2x2 - 14 = 0 is the simplest form of our equation, the true quadratic equation is 2x2 + 0x + (-14) = 0. It will probably help early on to mirror the form of the quadratic equation even when some values are 0. The quadratic formula (x = (-b +/- √(b2 - 4ac))/2a)  will help us solve for our value x at this point. Don’t be intimidated by the length of the formula. You’re simply taking the values from your quadratic equation in step two and plugging them into the appropriate spots before solving.  x = (-b +/- √(b2 - 4ac))/2a. In our equation, 2x2 - 14 = 0, a = 2, b = 0, and c = -14. x = (-0 +/- √(02 - 4(2)(-14)))/2(2) x = (+/- √( 0 - -112))/2(2) x = (+/- √(112))/2(2) x = (+/- 10.58/4) x = +/- 2.64 By plugging the calculated value of x back into your quadratic equation from step two, you can easily determine if you reached the correct answer. In this example, you would plug both 2.64 and -2.64 into the original quadratic equation.

Article in English: For every one serving of an acidic food, you should have four servings of an alkaline food. In order for the body to function at optimal efficiency, it must maintain a pH balance of 7.4. Eating additional alkaline foods keeps your body from taking nutrients from other areas in order to neutralize an acid-heavy diet.  If you want to be even more precise, you can invest in a food scale. Weigh each food portion carefully and write down the results in a notebook divided into two acid/alkaline columns. At the end of each day, add the columns up to see how close you got to the 4 per 1 ratio. For example, for lunch you could have a veggie sandwich. Try using whole-grain bread with hummus, avocados, and cucumbers packed inside. Fruit is always a good breakfast option. This will provide you with the maximum nutritional benefit. If fresh produce is not available, frozen is the next best alternative. Canned produce should usually be avoided as it contains high levels of sodium and other add-ons. Not all vegetables and fruits are the same or equal, however. Try to vary your intake of produce so that you get the full array of benefits. Asparagus, for example, assists with the nervous system. Watermelon is helpful for hydration as it is 92% water. Although grains are usually acidic, there are natural options that count as alkaline. Purchase grains that are minimally packaged, the closer to fresh the better. Be creative when choosing grains. For example, amaranth is one that many people aren’t familiar with. It is high in protein, which is unusual for a grain. Quinoa, buckwheat, and millet are other grain options. This is always part of a healthy diet, but when you are mixing food categories, it is particularly important. Most people consume artificial and processed foods in these categories. Consuming foods high in fat and sugar pushes your pH level into acidic territory and can contribute to a host of health problems including diabetes and kidney damage.  Instead of eliminating desserts entirely, you might try making...

Article in English: For everyday practical purposes, decibels are usually seen as a simple measure of loudness. However, the truth is a little more complex. In physics, decibels are often thought of as a convenient way of expressing the intensity of a sound wave. The larger the amplitude of a given sound wave, the more energy it transmits, the more it moves the air particles in its path, and the more "intense" the sound is. Because of this direct relationship between a sound wave intensity and its volume in decibels, it's possible to find a decibel value given nothing more than an intensity level for the sound (which is typically measured in watts/square meter)  Note that, for ordinary sounds, the intensity value is usually very small. For instance, a sound with an intensity of 5 ×10-5 (or 0.00005) watts/square meter translates to about 80 decibels — about the volume of a blender or food processor. To better understand the relationship between intensity measurements and decibels, let's follow along with an example problem. For the purposes of this problem, let's say that we're music producers and we're trying to find the background noise level in our recording studio to improve the sound of our records. After setting up our equipment, we detect a background noise intensity of 1 × 10-11 (0.00000000001) watts/square meter . In the next few steps, we'll use this info to find the decibel level of the background noise in our studio. Once you've found the intensity of your sound, you can simply plug it into the formula 10Log10(I/10-12) (where "I" is your intensity in watts/square meter) to find its decibel value. To begin, divide by 10-12 (0.000000000001). 10-12 represents the intensity of a 0 decibel sound, so by comparing your intensity value to this, you're essentially finding its relationship to this base value. In our example, we'd divide our intensity value, 10-11, by 10-12 to get 10-11/10-12 = 10. To finish solving, all you need to do is take the base 10 logarithm of your answer, then, finally, multiply by 10. This accounts for...

Article in English: For example they might ask you a question. Or, the offer to speak might be made through a gesture, non-verbally. Invite yourself to take a speaking turn. There are always small pauses in the conversation as the current speaker reaches the end of her point. Take advantage of the pause to launch into your contribution. However, someone else might try to start talking at the same moment. There is usually a little friendly rivalry before the group decides who should continue the turn. It might be you! As we listen to the ebb and flow of conversation, we find ourselves stirred with feelings, ideas and reactions. Respond to these inner promptings but, at the same time, relate to what has gone before - blend in and blend out. Conversation is very different to written language because it’s like music. It has rhythm, melody, harmony, spontaneity and movement. Qualities that are just as important as the lyrics. Orchestrate your powers of evocation by variations of voice-tone, face expressions and hand gestures. But if they don’t, use conversation moves that let you hold the floor whilst you catch up with what you want to say, for instance: stock phrases, repetitions, "um"s, "ah"s, and other exclamations, hesitations and questions out loud to yourself. Certain teachers used to admonish us about these things (think before you speak); but they were misguided. If your having fun, it doesn’t matter whether it always makes sense. In fact it’s even sometimes necessary to pass through phases of non-sense in order to reach higher levels of sense.

Article in English: For example, if someone you know asks you if you want to go home with them, you can say “thank you for inviting me.” Acknowledge the request while remaining confident and polite.  If this is someone who should not be asking you for sex because you do not know them or because of your relationship, say “I don’t think that question is appropriate for you to ask me.” You should leave and find a friend. If the request is more vague, for example, if someone is trying to get you to have sex and says "don't you think I'm cute", you should say "that is not what this is about.” Acknowledging their remark will help you seem confident and strong. Do not avoid saying no. It is important to be confident and clear so that they know you are serious. Depending on whether you know this person or not, you can say different things to explain.  If this is someone you are interested in but you don’t want to have sex, you can say “thank you for the invitation, but no, I don't have sex.” Depending on how close you are, you can explain to the person your reasons. If you are with someone you might want to have sex with in the future, you can say “Thank you for asking, but no, I don't want to have sex until I know you even better.” If this is someone who is just your friend, say “thank you for asking, but no, I just want to be friends.” After you say no, you can follow it up by saying "thank you for the dance”. Say this sincerely and explain why you enjoyed yourself. You can say, for example, “I had so much fun seeing this band.” This can distract from the awkwardness and remind them of the setting and situation. If this is someone you do not know, say “have a good night” and then leave. Be nice and genuine when you say this if they have been respectful to you. If you are with someone you know, move on and do something else. For example, you can say “let’s go find our friends”. If you do not know the person and you feel uncomfortable, find your friends or get out your cell phone to show the person that you are busy. If they ask you...

Article in English: For example, if you're programming your remote for a TV, make sure that the TV is powered on. Doing so ensures that you won't have to worry about interference from other items when entering your code. The item's button will usually have the name of the item for which you want to program the remote written on or under it. For example, if you're programming your remote for the TV, you would hold down the TV button. Use the remote control's keypad to type in the four-digit code that you retrieved from the RCA Remote Code Finder website. For example, if you're programming the remote for a TV, you would hold down the TV button while typing in the four-digit code from the website. Doing so enters the code. If the programming was successful, you'll see the remote control's LED light flash one time. If you see four flashes instead, your remote encountered an error. Try a different code if the website listed more than one possible code for your item. . Even though your remote control doesn't have a Code Search button, you can enable code searching for any RCA remote. You'll need to do this if you were unable to program your remote for your selected item by entering the code(s) that you found on the RCA Remote Code Finder page.

Article in English: For example, the capital of Ecuador is just "taquito" without the "ta" at the beginning. That makes "Quito"! The capital of France is the word "pairs" with the "r" and "I" swapped. That makes "Paris"! Use these phrases to memorize the capitals.   The capital of Portugal is the phrase "no basil" spelled backwards without the space between "no" and "basil", and without the "a" in the word "basil". That makes "Lisbon"! Another example: to find the capital of Armenia, you can use the phrase "yer van", which means "your van". Then, add an "e" in the middle and remove the spaces. Now you have "Yerevan!" Try to find a homophone for as many capital cities as you can. For example, the capital of Taiwan is Taipei. Taipei is a homophone of the personality type "Type A".

Article in English: For example: "He gave a book to me"––now, substitute "a book" by the pronoun "it"––He gave "it" to me. Now this needs to be dealt with as double object pronouns. In the basic Italian discussed here, "to me" (indirect pronoun) should come first, then "it" (direct pronoun) and, at last, the "gave" verb that in Italian includes "he" as its ending. Hence, this become in Italian: to me-it-gave, that is, me lo dà  Me is the new form of mi when used in a double object pronouns sentence.  mi + (lo, la, li, le) : mi becomes me. ti + (lo, la, li, le) : ti becomes te. Le + (lo, la, li, le) : Le becomes glie. glie attaches to the direct pronouns it precedes. For example,  glie + lo becomes glielo. glie + la becomes gliela, and so on.    gli + (lo, la, li, le) : gli becomes glie. glie attaches to the direct pronouns it precedes. For example,  glie + lo becomes glielo. glie + la becomes gliela, and so on.    le + (lo, la, li, le) : le becomes glie. glie attaches to the direct pronouns it precedes. For example,  glie + lo becomes glielo. glie + la becomes gliela, and so on.    ci + (lo, la, li, le) : ci becomes ce. vi + (lo, la, li, le) : vi becomes ve. Loro does not change and comes after the verb. loro does not change and comes after the verb. si + (lo, la, li, le) : si becomes se.

Article in English: For example: a six foot tall object (2-yards) which is eight Mils in size is 250-yards away. 2 x 1000 / 8 = 250.    Sub-divide the Mil Dots as much as possible, and be as accurate in estimating the size of the object as possible.     The object is five feet (1.67-yards) wide and spans 2.8 Mils is 596-yards away.     A guess that the object is 2-yards instead of 1.67 would mean the estimation of over 100 yards difference which could mean a hit, or a miss of over five inches with a standard .308.     To be in the right mindset, calculate sizes of objects to the tenth of a yard (is that 3.4-yards or 3.5?). Calculate the span in Mils also to the tenth of a Mil. Both of these will take practice, but perfect estimations is the only way to get perfect range calculation. Some equations might get pretty complex, and accuracy is key, but the speed of a calculator may also help in some situations.

Article in English: For general, everyday use, you want to look for a primer that matches your complexion or is just a tiny bit lighter. This will look the most natural if you forego eyeshadow and just do a liner and it won't alter the shade of your eyeshadow by adding pigmentation.  If you're doing a smokey eye or a dark eyeshadow, look for a darker primer to add depth to your look. If you are using multiple colors and really want them to pop, try a white primer. You can also use a clear primer for the most versatile option. Since primer is a base to even out your skin tone, it should really be matte or transparent, rather than shimmery.  Consider color correcting primer if you have dark circles or want to brighten your eyes. Primers with a yellow or peach cast will neutralize the purples, browns, and "bruise" shades of under eye circles. A primer with a little bit of green can neutralize pink or reddish skin. Matte primers are great for everyday use, because they tend to last longer and give you a more neutral base for your eye makeup. Even if your skin is not oily, eyelids tend to get a little greasy throughout the day, and the matte finish will help absorb the grease and keep your makeup in place.  A satin or shimmery finish works when you are wearing no shadow over your primer or plan to use a sparkly eyeshadow. Keep in mind these don't have quite the staying power as a matte primer, and that you shouldn't use a matte eyeshadow over a shimmery primer or it will look off.  If you have very dry skin, try a gel-based primer or one that illuminates skin.  Matte primers work with both matte and shimmery eyeshadows--they allow you to add all the shine using the makeup, not the primer.  Matte primers are especially effective in hot and humid weather, because it will keep the grease and shine under control. Primers come in gel, cream, liquid, or stick form. The texture of your primer will influence how it feels on your lids and how long it will last. Gel primers usually last the longest and can be worn with all types of eyeshadow....

Article in English: For good measure, tip your pack upside down over a bin and shake it to get any bits of trash out. Only when your pack is empty will you have an adequate sense of what it can accommodate. If you’ve organized your pack in the same way for a long while, emptying it out completely can help you imagine new ways to organize it more efficiently. Even if your backpack feels light when you first pack it, it will start to feel heavy after a few hours of hiking. Go through the items you plan on putting into your pack, and find the heaviest ones. Decide whether or not you really need them for the trip.  For instance, if you have a cooking pan you really like but rarely use, it might be a good idea to leave it at home. Consider replacing it with a lighter pan instead. How much your backpack weighs in the end depends on what you can personally carry and endure. Different people can carry different amounts of weight. When organizing an internal frame backpack, the area at the bottom should be reserved for light material, while the medium-weight stuff should be packed on top of it. The heaviest things should be packed in the middle of the forward-most area of the backpack. In other words, the heaviest items should be against the area that actually touches your back. Similar to an internal frame backpack, you want to start with the lightest items first. After that, you want to add the medium-weight items, and finally, the heaviest. Tuck them as tightly as possible against the forward-most area of the pack. The goal in both modes of organization is to center the weight on your hips so that you can more easily maintain balance. Items that you might use or need at any time – insect repellents, snacks, rain ponchos, and so on – should be placed in outer pockets. That way, you can grab and use them easily without having to stop, unpack, find the items, and repack. If your backpack doesn't have many outer pockets, keep the more useful items towards the top. Leave the items you seldom use towards the bottom. Here is where you can...

Article in English: For guitars that use nylon strings, lubricating your strings is unnecessary. Nylon strings are already corrosion resistant. If you have a guitar that has steel strings, however, you'll want to use some lubricant to keep them from getting sticky, dirty, and corroded. You can check the product packaging for the strings you have to find out what they're made of. If you do not have the product packaging anymore, a good rule of thumb to follow is to consider the kind of guitar you have and the genres it's made to play. Acoustic and flamenco guitars that focus on classical and folk music usually possess nylon strings; electric and bass guitars associated with blues, country, and rock and pop music are more likely to have steel strings. You can use the same rag that you used to clean the grime off from before by flipping it over and using the clean side. If you feel it's too dirty and the oils from your hands have sunk into the "clean" side, then you can use an entirely new rag for this portion of the cleaning process. You will want to select a lubricant that doesn't contain a petroleum base when treating your guitar; these can have penetrating properties which may cause damage to your guitar over time.  Dunlop Lemon Oil, Tone Finger-Ease String Lubricant, or GHS Fast Fret are all commercial oiling products you can buy that are made specifically for guitars. If you need something cheap and readily available, you can try olive oil, baby oil, or Vaseline.  You never want to apply the lubricant directly to the strings as there is a good chance you'll get excess grease on the fretboard which will be difficult to clean up. Position and fold the rag the same way you did when removing the grime and run the cloth or towel from the bridge and saddle area to the the nut. Apply pressure to both sides of the strings using your fingers. When done properly, the strings should end looking noticeably shinier. They should also be oily and smooth to the touch.

Article in English: For heavy power lifts, such as bench press, 5 sets of 5 reps works really well for boosting your ability to lift more. Competitive weight lifters will even do sets of three, two and one reps in order to max out. Start your routine off with the bench press. Again, low reps and higher weight are best. After you've done the heavy lifting, finish off your chest, tri, and shoulder exercises with lower weights and higher reps: 10-15 reps per set works really nicely. Too many people let the bar bounce off their chest. While this usually isn't harmful to your chest, it keeps your triceps from staying activated and working during the whole rep, thereby resulting in less strength. Think of it this way. Bouncing the bar off your chest on the downstroke is like putting training wheels on your bike during the most wobbly stretch of the ride. If you're trying to become a faster biker, you'd do better to ditch the training wheels altogether. Strong triceps are the not-so-secret ingredient to a stronger bench. The pushup is a much more natural movement that gives your shoulder blades a degree of movement not afforded by simple bench press. Pepper your bench press with triceps workouts such as dips, skullcrushers, lying triceps extensions, triceps pushdowns, and a whole host of other exercises. With your back arched, your shoulders activated, and your feet firmly planted on the ground, your glute muscles become especially important. Activate them when benching. With a firm, stable bum, your body will be able to reinforce the torque your chest, triceps, and shoulders are pumping into the bar, thereby strengthening your overall benching ability. Similarly, keep your glutes on the bench when pressing. Don't lift your butt into the air. This is not only dangerous — it shifts unnecessary strain onto your neck — but also weakens your overall bench. You want your calories for your body to build bigger/stronger muscles and eventually be able to handle your ideal bench weight. If you must do cardio, eat food to replace the calories lost.

Article in English: For individuals who lead a largely sedentary lifestyle, or anyone who works at a job which requires them to remain seated for multiple hours, gravity can draw fluids into the lower extremities of your body. This can lead to water retention in your feet, ankles, and legs. Avoid this by walking frequently throughout the day. Keep your blood circulating, and your lower extremities will not retain water.  This also occurs during long plane rides, during which passengers remain immobile for many hours. If you're on an international flight, plan to stand up and stretch or walk around at least a few times. If you're concerned that you may be retaining water in your feet, ankles, and lower legs, you can elevate the swollen parts of your body. This will let gravity drain some of the retained fluid from your feet and allow fluid to distribute through your body. For example, if your feet are swollen in the evening, recline on a sofa or bed with your feet on a pillow. If you find that your feet and ankles regularly retain fluid while you are sitting down or standing—for example, at work—you can purchase a pair of compression support stockings. These exert pressure on your feet and lower legs, and don't allow fluid to build up in these areas. Support socks or tights are relatively common. You should be able to purchase a pair at your local drug store.

Connect what you're doing now with what you want to be doing. One thing that you want to do with this step is prove that you are in it for the long haul. A manager will not want to hire you if she or he thinks you are going to be leaving in a year. Therefore, show that you plan to be there for a while. However, if you are talking about how you want to advance, make it known that you don't expect to advance for a while, and you plan to prove yourself and work your way up. Finally, put together your answer. Talk about how it connects to your career as the conclusion to what you have to say. Keep it concise. You don't want to ramble on too long.

Article in English: For instance, kiss him when he says yes to being your boyfriend, but then for the first week or so settle with hugging and holding hands. If he wants to kiss you, go ahead!  If he kisses you, don't make it a passionate kiss the first time. You want him to be interested in kissing you again, so only give him a little taste the first time. Don't let him pressure you into anything. Relationships are about mutual respect, not one person getting something the other isn't comfortable with. At the beginning of a relationship, some people think it's a brilliant idea to make a pact that they'll still be friends when we break-up. Don't do this.  This gives the guy a sense of security, so generally he won't be heartbroken to lose you. Plus, it's weird to talk about breakups in the beginning. How do you know what you'll be feeling when you break up? You just don't know. Talk about happier things. Instead of talking about the relationship, just be in the relationship. This will help the guy out. Sometimes, it's better and easier to act instead of talk. Guys need some space. Just because he's hanging out with his friends doesn't mean he doesn't like you, or that he likes someone else.  Let him see his friends. Don't become clingy. Yes, spend a substantial time together in the afternoon or weekends, but let him see his friends at school. If he never makes time for you, however, that's a warning sign. Make sure that he gives you enough time. He should want to be with you if he's in a relationship with you, you might just have to tell him that you need him to pay more attention to you. Don't get upset every time he talks to another girl. Guys are allowed to talk to other girls, just not flirt or go over the line with them. Trust him until he gives you a reason not to. Don't obsessively talk with him all night on social networks or MSN. If you don't talk to him every second, it will make him want to talk to you even more!

Article in English: For many people, migraines and the subsequent symptoms—including nausea—are triggered by sources that they can control or reduce their exposure to. Keep track of what you were doing shortly before your migraine came on over the course of several attacks, and see if you can find a consistent trigger. Common ones include:  Emotional or physical fatigue due to stress or exertion Abrupt changes in weather Altitude Motion such as from travel Poor sleep Missing meals Certain smells Hormonal changes, such as in menstruating women Specific foods and beverages, including aged cheese, chocolate, red wines, coffee, beer, etc. (also, certain food additives such as monosodium glutamate and nitrates) Your doctor will be able to provide prescriptions to a wide selection of different medications that have shown efficacy in managing nausea and other migraine symptoms. These medications often require trial and error to discover which combination works best to control your symptoms.  If you are vomiting at least three times a day, you need to see your doctor. Vomiting too much will predispose you to fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Be sure to see your doctor if you develop a worsening headache. A bleeding blood vessel might be causing the problem. Visit your doctor if your migraine headache is accompanied by fever, stiff neck, seizures, double vision, numbness, difficulty in speaking, and other unusual manifestations. Triptans are some of the most common prescription drugs used to treat migraines. They constrict blood vessels and block pain pathways to your brain to alleviate various symptoms of migraines. They are available in various forms—such as pills, nasal sprays, and injections—and the medications include:  Sumatriptan (Imitrex) Rizatriptan (Maxalt) Almotriptan (Axert) Naratriptan (Amerge) Zolmitriptan (Zomig) Frovatriptan (Frova) Eletriptan (Relpax) To deal directly with the nausea from your migraines, you can also ask your doctor about anti-nausea medications. He or she will likely prescribe one in combination with a...

Article in English: For math, science, and similar tests, you should have an idea of which concepts the teacher will be testing your knowledge of. Put all of them down on paper so you can check off the ones you learn. This also gives you a way to organize the concepts in your head.  Find some practice problems. Some good places to look are your textbook, on pages you didn’t do in class or homework, or the review section in the back of the book. A study guide would be ideal for this as well. If you don’t have anything to give you practice problems, you may have to write your own. Though this is more time-consuming, it may help you learn the concept. To write a practice problem, after all, you have to have some understanding of the concept or formula. It is a good idea to go ahead and see how close you are to understanding the theory. This will save you from wasting time on a problem you could already almost solve. Prioritizing your time will mean that when you get stuck, you will have less to look up in your notes and textbook.   After you get stuck, use your notes to work through the problem. Graded homework is another good place to find solutions to problems like the one you’re working on. After you have used your notes to solve the first practice problem, try another one. The goal is to be able to solve each kind of problem without help from your notes. If you can get it on your second or third try, then you can move onto the next concept. Repeat this process until you have mastered the concept. Go down your checklist using the book as you need it to solve practice problems. You want to move quickly down the list, but make sure you are internalizing the formulas you need. It will be much less stressful later on if you have taken the time to memorize everything at first. Writing your own test or study guide will help you in more ways than one. First, you have to think about and work through a theory or formula in your head in order to come up with a practice problem. Second, going back through and solving the problems makes you...
