Article in English: To have your application taken seriously and to make it easier to get admitted into the program, it’s wise to get a college degree. In fact, 90% of positions require it. An associate’s degree may be enough if you have the necessary work experience, too.  If you can and are interested, study agriculture, forestry, or environment. Having a background in these areas can make you an obvious candidate for these understaffed areas. All education positions require a minimum GPA of 2.5. Your application will be very strong if you’ve taken college level French or Spanish. About 35% of countries require either two years of high school or one year of college level French (or other Romance language), or four years of high school or two years of college level Spanish. If you do get posted in a country that requires Spanish or French and you don't know the language, the Peace Corps does offer you language training at the beginning of your assignment. It is paid for and is included in the 27 month arrangement. The Peace Corps is looking for individuals who have demonstrated a love of helping others. If you come in with volunteer experience – whether it's at a hospital, a soup kitchen, or tutoring kids – you're showing that you already have a grip on what's expected of you. It tells the Peace Corps that you have the right character for the job. It doesn't matter what it is! Getting involved in your community not only proves your work ethic and character, but it'll help prepare you for the basis of the work you'll be doing with the Peace Corps. It's that feeling of helping people that you can become accustomed to with volunteer work, whatever it is. When on assignment, you'll be working with locals, often on your own. Coming into the Peace Corps having already had a leadership position or two makes your application that much stronger. So whether it's leading a group of volunteers, leading your sorority or fraternity, or leading your school band, include it on your application. Any work you do autonomously is good, too....

Article in English: To help boost both your speed and endurance, you need to push your limits and mix up your workout routines a little. If you've been doing the same exercises for a few months, your body will have settled into a routine, and it's likely you've reached a plateau. It's time to shake it up and try some new things! Maintaining good form while running will ensure that your body is operating as efficiently as possible, helping you to increase your running speed, as well as helping to prevent injuries. Running should feel natural and loose - you shouldn't feel tense or taut. "Fartlek" is a Swedish word meaning "speed play" and is becoming a more and more popular training method amongst runners who are trying to increase their speed. Fartlek training involves varying your running pace at random intervals throughout your run. With fartleks, you can run at a jogging pace for several minutes then sprint for a full minute, before resuming your previous pace.   Fartleks are a very flexible training method, and you can decide what the ratio of jogging to sprinting will be, depending on how you're feeling on a given day. For best results, you should aim to incorporate fartlek training into a 40-60 minute run.  Most runners don't use very exact methods or timing for doing fartlek training. A lot of times, runners will simply decide to sprint until they get to a particular landmark, like a telephone pole or fire hydrant. The length of the sprint is entirely up to you and your body's ability.  It is important to warm up properly - at least 10-15 minutes at an average running pace - before attempting a fartlek workout. This is because you need to ensure that your muscles are loose enough to handle the demands of multiple accelerations. Also ensure that you allow yourself a decent cooldown periods, otherwise you could be dealing with some very sore muscles the next day. . Running over hilly terrain has been proven to gradually build up speed over time, so you should definitely incorporate some hill training into your workout...

Article in English: To help maintain your muscle mass while in a caloric deficit, consider taking up weight training.  When in a caloric deficit, your body will burn its reserves for energy both fat as well as muscle. Ideally you want to burn fat, not muscle. Including regular strength training can help minimize the loss of lean muscle mass.  Health experts recommend including at least one to two days of strength training. Ensure that you work each major muscle group when you're exercising. Try lifting weights or using weight machines, doing yoga or pilates, or using isometric exercises to help maintain or build lean muscle mass. Cardiovascular exercise is good for overall health. However, it also helps your body burn calories and fuel weight loss.  Regular cardiovascular or aerobic exercise has been associated with a variety of health benefits in addition to weight loss. It has been shown to help improve mood, decrease your risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and high blood pressure, helps improve circulation, and improves your energy.  Cardio is also the main form of exercise that will burn calories and help support weight loss.  The combination of a diet and physical activity is the best for weight loss.  Include 5 days of cardio for at least 30 minutes. This will help you meet the minimum guideline set of adults in the US.  Include exercises like jogging, fast walking, dancing, using the elliptical, or swimming. In addition to strength training and cardio exercises, also try to just move more or take more steps in the day. Studies have shown that lifestyle activities can also help support weight loss.  Lifestyle activities are those that you do on a normal day. These could be walking to and from destinations, taking the stairs, vacuuming the floor or mowing the lawn. Lifestyle activities burn small amounts of calories; however, if you're moving more all day long, you can make a significant impact on your weight. Try to move or walk more throughout your day. Take a walk break at lunch, take the stairs instead of the...

Article in English: To help protect your frame throughout the shipping process, you’ll cover it in a layer of artist or painters tape. That way, if it breaks during transit, the shattered shards will stick to the tape instead of falling onto the artwork. Do not use masking tape or similar high-tack adhesives since they are difficult to remove and can leave an annoying film on the frame. Artist tape is available at most craft, home supply, and discount stores. Lay down 2 strips of artist tape over the glass in an X formation, with each piece stretching diagonally from 1 corner to the other. Then, lay down 2 more strips in the form of a cross or plus sign, with the tape stretching from the midpoint of 1 side to the midpoint of the other. Lay down strips of vertical and horizontal artist tape over the entire sheet of glass. You can apply the strips in any order, but by the end they should cover every section of glass. For extra protection, lay the tape down in an overlapping grid pattern. Tape can be particularly difficult to remove from a border and, in many cases, will create unnecessary damage. If you have extra tape at the end of a strip, either cut the ends off with scissors or fold the ends back on themselves and secure them with more tape.

Article in English: To help you combat looking sweaty or hot when you arrive at your interview, be prepared with a few supplies such as a travel-sized antiperspirant, moist towelettes, a small bottle of baby powder, and a handkerchief for dabbing away sweat on your brow. Bring a bottle of water to keep yourself hydrated. Leave the oversized bag at home, along with the backpack and wheeled suitcase. Complete your image with a professional-looking briefcase or bag in a neutral color. If you are wearing a suit jacket, you can opt to leave it off while you’re traveling to your interview. This way, you will not overheat. Carefully carry it, though, so it does not get wrinkled in transit. Hang your suit jacket on a hanger in your car to keep it from wrinkling or gathering lint. It is not recommended that you wear a hat before your interview, as it could mess up your hair and make you sweat more around your hairline. While a hat is generally good to wear when you’re outside in the sunshine, this particular occasion is not the most appropriate time for wearing a hat. If you need to take public transit to your interview, you might want to spring for a cab this time. This will eliminate the need to wait outside for a bus or other transportation in hot weather. If you are walking more than a few blocks, you also might consider taking a cab. Give yourself plenty of time before the interview by arriving early. If you are rushing to get there on time, you will likely be flustered and sweatier than if you had more time to spare. When you arrive, find the restroom and take a few minutes to refresh your look. This is a good time to take a few deep breaths and to make sure you look calm and collected.  Run your hands under cool water in the restroom. This will help cool you off by lowering your body temperature slightly. It will also leave your hands free of sweat.  Blot away sweat with moist towelettes.

Article in English: To help you stay organized throughout the day, purchase a high-quality planner that you can write your class schedule, extra-curricular schedule, and assignment deadlines in. Make sure to bring it to every class so you can always keep it up-to-date.  Carefully mark all of your exam dates in your planner and schedule specific times to study for them. Mark times when you will be busy with friends or social events so you can plan your study schedule around them. Avoid having an “everything” binder that you keep the notes, assignments, and tests from all your classes in. This will make you incredibly disorganized, and if you lose that binder, you will lose everything. Instead, create separate, clearly labeled binders for each class.  In case you forget your main binders at home, keep a spare binder in your locker that has paper, pencils, and other general supplies you can use to get through the day. If you don’t have a locker to keep your binders in, store them in a large backpack. Do your best to pay attention whenever the teacher is talking. Even if you are not feeling motivated on a particular day, remind yourself to work hard and remember that you will reap the benefits later on.  If you have trouble focusing, try putting up small distractions like chewing gum and major distractions like your phone. If your friends want to talk to you in class, ask them to wait until later. Write down the topic of each class session as soon as your teacher reveals it. This will help center your mind on the subject at hand. If you have trouble understanding the material, don’t be afraid to raise your hand and ask a question. during class whenever your teacher allows it. Not only do notes make studying for tests easier, but they can actually help you commit the material to memory. If possible, write the notes by hand because it will make it easier to recall the information down the road. Instead of writing down everything the teacher says, try to listen and then transcribe the most important information. This will make note...

Article in English: To help your screens continue looking great, you'll want to keep dust and dirt from building up.  Giving your window screens a light dusting once a week can cut down on the amount of heavy cleaning you'll need to do.  Use these basic steps to keep up with your weekly screen dusting schedule:  Grab a vacuum cleaner and a dusting brush attachment. Use the vacuum cleaner to gently suck up any dirt on the screen. If you are able to do so, vacuum both sides of the screen. It's best to work top to bottom when cleaning the screen. You won't always need to remove the entire screen from the window to clean it.  If you notice a specific spot or area that is dirty, you can mix up some soap and water to clean your screen.  Keep some of these tips in mind to spot clean the screen while it's still in the window:  Mix some mild soap and warm water in a bucket. Dip a small sponge into the bucket. Use the sponge to gently wash the stained area. If you have to scrub the area, do so gently.  Using too much force can easily tear the screen. Finish by drying the screen with a towel. The more often you clean your window screens, the less often you'll need to remove them and do a full cleaning.  Try to include window screens in your usual house cleaning routine to help keep them looking like new.

Article in English: To keep from snagging a hangnail or patch of rough skin on your pantyhose, prepare your hands, feet and legs to make the process easier. Here are a few things you might do to get ready:  File your fingernails and toenails.  Shave or wax your legs (especially if your hose are sheer).  Moisturize your hands, legs and feet. Take off any rings and bracelets that may catch on the nylon material and damage the pantyhose. Check for the tag and position the pantyhose so that you'll be putting them on with the tag in the back. They're constructed to be put on a certain way, and putting them on backwards could make them look and feel strange. Starting on either the right side or left, hold the waist of the pantyhose and gently bunch the leg so that the inside of the toe is exposed. The point is to create an easy pathway for your foot, so that you can place it inside the length of the hose leg without tearing the fabric. You might need to stretch the opening a bit to make sure your foot can fit inside without catching on the fabric. Pointing your toe will help prevent your toenail from snagging the hose. Put your whole foot inside and arrange the bottom of the hose leg so that the seam at the toe runs across the tip of your toes.  Make sure the leg isn't twisted when you put your foot inside. If it's twisted, it will be difficult to pull the pantyhose up your leg. You can be in either a sitting or standing position when you put on your pantyhose. If you find it difficult to balance on one foot, you might want to sit! Ease it on carefully and slowly, making sure the fabric doesn't pull or rip. Keep the hose leg centered and pull it up until you reach your thigh. If the fabric is twisted or bunched at the knees, straighten it before proceeding. Gather the waist and the toe of the other leg so that you create an easy path for your foot to fit through. Point your toe and insert it, then line up the toe of the hose so that the seam runs across your toes. Pull the hose leg up over your calf and knee until it reaches your...

Article in English: To keep it centered in the middle of the larger jar, you can put a dab of glue or tape on the bottom before you set it inside. Make sure you put the lid on securely since you don't want ants accidentally falling in. Use a funnel to neatly fill the extra space with dirt, or spoon it in. The dirt should not be tightly packed; make sure it's nice and loose, so the ants will be able to move around. Leave about an inch of empty space at the top of the jar.  You will now have created a layer of dirt that will serve as the ants' home. The inch of empty space will keep the ants from climbing up the glass and out of the jar when you need to open the lid. Carefully drop the ants in the jar, making sure they all make it into the fine dirt you provided. Cover the jar and use an awl or a sharp knife to puncture it with tiny holes, to allow oxygen to reach the ants.  Make sure not to punch the holes too large, or the ants will escape and build a nest elsewhere. Don't cover the jar with cloth, as ants will be able to chew their way out.

Article in English: To keep your teeth tartar free, you should have your teeth cleaned in a dental office on a regular basis. Be sure to schedule your cleanings in advance so you actually get them done on a regular basis. While many dental professionals recommend 2 cleanings per year, the actual number you need may vary. Talk to your dentist about how often you should get cleanings based on any risk factors or dental issues you have. If you are having pain or irritation in your mouth, it could be the sign of a problem that needs treatment. Contact your dentist and schedule an appointment to have your teeth looked at and treated. First, the dental hygienist will look inside your mouth and assess your teeth. They will look over all your teeth and look for signs of plaque and tartar build up. The hygienist will also look for signs of other dental problems, such as gingivitis. When you have your teeth cleaned by a hygienist, they will likely begin by manually removing plaque and tartar. To do this, they will use a metal pick called a scaler. The hygienist will then continue the cleaning by brushing your teeth with a gritty toothpaste. This will remove any remaining plaque and tartar on your teeth. The gritty toothpaste that is used in dental offices gives your teeth a shiny polish, but it should only be used twice a year. Using this type of toothpaste more often can damage the enamel surface of your teeth. After your dental hygienist gives your teeth a general cleaning, you may need more advanced care. If plaque and tartar have built up significantly, your hygienist may clean it away with an ultrasonic cleaner. This uses vibrations and water to clean off large chunks of tartar.

Article in English: To lose weight while getting in shape, you will need to create a calorie shortfall. This means that you will eat fewer calories than are needed to maintain your weight, causing your body to begin burning fat.Calculate how many calories you need to maintain your weight and then plan how many calories you can eat in a day (usually 2,000 calories a day). Sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats will contribute to keeping you from getting in shape. Avoid sugary drinks like soda, and anything which is high in saturated or trans fats (partially hardened or hardened fats, margarine). Instead, eat fruit as a dessert and foods with healthy fats like omega-3’s (found most easily in fish, olive oil and nuts). . You will need to eat a proper balance of protein, carbohydrates (found grains), fruits and vegetables, and dairy. Whole grains might comprise about 30% of the food you eat (if grains are not inflammatory for you), fruits and vegetables another 30% (weighted more towards vegetables), dairy 15%, very lean protein 15% or up to 40%, if you lower the calories from carbohydrates. Lower unhealthy fats, processed carbs and sugar to no more than 4% of you diet.  There are different types of fats. Some are good for you, while others are not. You should avoid trans fats (found in many commercially baked and snack foods) and limit saturated fats (ground meats, sausages, wieners, fried foods and butter). However, monounsaturated fats (olive oil, avocados) and polyunsaturated fats (fish, walnuts) are good for you. Good whole grains include whole wheat, whole oats, quinoa and brown rice. Good fruits and vegetables include chick peas/garbanzo beans (can be used to make hummus), beans, kale, broccoli, spinach, blueberries, strawberries, lemons and pears. .

To make the jam, place all of the liquid into a large pot with 8 cups of peeled, cored and diced or grated apples and 5 cups of granulated sugar. Bring the jam to a boil and let it boil for 25 to 30 minutes. You can then process the jam, which will make about 6 pints. If you're using a candy thermometer to check if the jam is set, the temperature should reach between 215 and 220 degrees F.

Article in English: To make a natural cough syrup, you need garlic, oregano, and honey. You need ½ cup of honey, 2 cloves of garlic, and 2 sprigs of fresh oregano. You can measure out about one teaspoon to one tablespoon of oregano instead.  Garlic, honey, and oregano are antimicrobials that help naturally fight colds and coughs. You can also add ½ cup of onion and one lemon if you want. Boil the garlic cloves and the oregano with about ½ cup of water. Boil for about five minutes. Let the boiling mixture cool for a few minutes, then pour into a cup with the honey. Mix together. Now, it is ready to drink. An alternate way to make this cough syrup is to let it set overnight. In a jar, put the oregano at the bottom, then the garlic, then lemon and onion. Pour the honey and water over the ingredients, making sure the water covers all the ingredients completely. Put the lid on the jar so it is airtight, and let it steep overnight. Strain the liquid the next morning and only drink the liquid.  Store in your refrigerator for a week. This makes an even stronger cough syrup because the garlic and onion (if you add onion) are stronger and have more medicinal properties if they aren’t cooked.

Article in English: To make any smoothie, you need a good blender, but higher power blenders do not necessarily mean better blenders. Additionally, you don’t want to use a food processor for smoothies. Food processors work better with solid foods, and smoothies are mostly made with softer fruits and vegetables. Immersion blenders are hand-held blenders with the blades at the bottom. An immersion blender is a popular choice for making smoothies. You can blend the ingredients in the cup you want to drink from, or you can do it in a separate bowl or container. You can’t crush ice with an immersion blender. Some frozen fruit may pose difficulties, too. Countertop blenders sit on the countertop and ingredients are added to the blender jar. The jar can be glass, plastic, or steel. These blenders can range from $20 to over $500.  Glass is heaviest and provides the most stability. In addition, glass won’t retain any flavor or odors. Glass also allows you to see your smoothie as it is made, which can help you know if you need to add more liquid or if you need to keep blending. Plastic blenders can get stained, especially when you are using a lot of brightly colored fruits and vegetables, like blueberries and beets. If you are going to make smoothies with a lot of harder vegetables and fruits, like carrots, beets, frozen fruits, or similar, you may want to buy a blender with a larger motor. This helps ensure the blender is strong enough to puree all the ingredients. Consider a blender of at least 1000 watts. Blenders come in a lot of various sizes. If you are making smoothies for yourself, a single serve blender may be all you need. If you are looking to involve family members, use smoothies to serve guests, or make extra for later, you may be more interested in a multi-serve blender. Traditional countertop blenders are usually multi-serve. High-speed blending systems, like the NutriBullet, are single serve.

Once you’ve measured out the vinegar and dish soap, transfer the vinegar to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until it is hot but not boiling. Heating the vinegar makes it easier to blend it with the thick dish soap. After you’ve heated the vinegar, pour it into a spray bottle. Add an equal amount of the dish soap, and secure the lid on the bottle. Shake it well to mix the two. Test the spray after you’ve mixed it. If it’s too thick to spray, you can mix in a little bit of warm, distilled water to thin it out. When you’re ready to use the cleaner, spray a generous amount over the affected tile. Allow the spray to sit on the tile for at least 30 minutes so it has time to cut through the soap scum. If the tile has a particularly thick layer of soap scum, you may want to leave the spray on the surface for an hour or longer. After you’ve let the cleaner sit on the tile for a half hour or longer, use a damp sponge to wipe the soap scum and residue away.  Next, spray the area with warm water to rinse it completely clean.  If the soap scum isn’t wiping away on the sponge, you can use a soft scrub brush to work on the stubborn areas. Scrub lightly, though, to avoid scratching the tile. If you don’t have a spray bottle to rinse the tile, wet a clean cloth or rag with warm water to rinse it. Once the tile is rinsed clean, use a clean towel or rag to wipe down the surface so it is completely dry. Keep the bottle of cleanser with the rest of your cleaning supplies, and use anytime that you notice soap scum buildup. The homemade soap scum cleaner should stay effective for 6 months to 1 year.

Article in English: To make new friends, you will have to get out and get involved in things. Consider joining a sports league, taking a class, or volunteering within your community. If you are very shy, find a group for social anxiety, even if it has to be online. Look on places like Craigslist, Meetup, or local news websites for activities in your area. Don't attend functions with the sole idea of making friends or meeting people. Try to go with no expectations whatsoever and to enjoy yourself regardless of what happens. Look for activities that interest you and that also involve groups of people like book clubs, church groups, political campaigns, concerts and art exhibitions Making new friends often requires you to take the first step and invite others out to do things. Don't wait for people to approach you: you should approach them. Ask the person if they want to chat or get a coffee. You must always show interest in other people before they will show interest in you.  Be yourself as you try to make new friends.  Don’t try to impress a new person by misrepresenting yourself. That may lead to the end of the new friendship before it even gets started. Be a good listener.  Pay close attention when people are talking. It is important to be able to respond to what the person has just said to demonstrate that you were listening or they may feel like you do not care. Working to deepen the relationships with your family may also help you to stop feeling so lonely. Even if you don't have a great history with a family member, you can still try to repair relationships by starting with an invitation. For example, you could ask a family member that you haven’t seen in a while to go out to lunch or meet you for coffee. When trying to rebuild or deepen your relationships with family members, you can use some of the same strategies you would use to gain new friends. Take the initiative to ask the person out, be yourself, and be a good listener. Draw people toward yourself by providing enjoyable company. Be complimentary rather than...

Article in English: To make the sauce, just mix 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp. drained horseradish, 2 tsp. ketchup, and 1/4 tsp. Cajun seasoning together in a medium-sized bowl. Stir the ingredients until you've created a rich and creamy mixture. Heat 1 inch (2.5 cm) of vegetable oil until the oil and place the pickles in the oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375°F (190°C). To make the batter, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 3/4 tsp. Cajun seasoning, 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning, 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 cup water until you've mixed the ingredients together well. They should be dry before you fry them for best results. Toss them to really coat them in the batter. To do this, take them out from the batter using a slotted spoon, one at a time, which will let the excess batter drip off. Add them to the oil one at a time. This should take 1-2 minutes. Remove the pickles from the pan with the same slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain them.  Once the pickles are ready, serve them with the sauce you've made. You can also serve them with a few celery sticks.

Article in English: To make this costume, you will need:  Sewing supplies Black felt Yellow felt White felt Black hooded sweatshirt Hot glue Dark pants and shoes Sketch out two hooked beak halves onto black felt. Use sharp scissors to cut both pieces out.  You can freehand sketch the beak pattern, if desired. Note that you need to draw the beak from a side view, rather than a top view. The base should be somewhat rectangular, but the beak itself should appear as a hooked or curved triangular shape. Your beak should be large enough to attach to your sweatshirt and make the hood of the black sweatshirt look like the bird’s head. The size may be dependent on if you are an adult or a kid. Lay the two beak pieces on top of each other and sew along the top edge. Place the beak on the top of the hood, just above the opening, and sew the base of the beak onto the hood.  Since felt doesn't fray, you do not need to turn the material inside-out as you work. Make sure that your seams are neat and even, however, to prevent the work from looking messy. The beak should be positioned in the center of the hood and should hang over the face area when you put the hood on your head. For each eye, you will need a yellow circle, a black circle, and a white semi-circle.  The yellow circles should be about 3 inches in diameter. The black circles should be about 2.5 inches in diameter. The white semi-circle should be about 1 inch in diameter. Lay the black circle on top of the yellow circle, precisely centered. Glue in place. Lay the white semi-circle on top of the black circle so that the flat edge lies in the center of the black circle. Glue in place.  Use fabric glue or hot glue for this. Let dry before pressing on. Cut off a few individual feathers from your strip of feathered fringe. Turn each eye over to reveal the back, and glue these feathers around about half of each eye. Note that the feathers should fan out from the side of the eye facing the flat side of your white semi-circular portion. Position the eyes on either side of the beak on the...

Article in English: To make this knot, you need two strings, ropes, etc. Alternatively, you can use the opposite ends of a single rope. In our example, we'll lay the right-hand rope (the orange one in the graphic above) over the left-hand rope (the yellow one). However, if you lay the left-hand rope over the right-hand rope instead, you can still get a square knot if you reverse all of the following directions. From the front, your square knot should look like the one in the graphic above. You can also find good reference images at AnimatedKnots.com and other knot sites.  If you have tightened the rope correctly, you should see that it forms a neat, even knot from two loops with one loop wrapping around the base of the other.

Article in English: To make this rustic American-style doll, you'll need corn husks with the silk still on them. Around a dozen corn husks (one or two ears of corn at most) should be enough to make one doll. You'll also need a large bowl of water, scissors to cut the husks, and pins and twine to bind them into shape. Corn husk dolls are made with dried husks. Use a food drier, or set the husks out in the sun for a few days until they become dry and are no longer green. Sun drying the husks is the preferred method because it's more traditional (and corn husk dolls are steeped in both American Indian and colonial tradition), but as long as they're well-dried, the result will be more or less the same. Before the next step, pull the dried silk off of the husks and set it aside. You'll be using it soon, but it needs to stay dry while you soak the husks to keep it from getting soggy. Lay all the silk in generally the same direction rather than heaping or tangling it. When you're ready to make your doll, soak the dried husks in a bowl of water for about 10 minutes. Though it sounds counterintuitive, this won't actually rehydrate the husks you so carefully dried; rather, it will make them temporarily more flexible, so that you can bend them into shape without breaking them. Once the husks have soaked, blot them dry with paper towels and set them aside. If the husks are significantly different in size from one another, now is a good time to tear or clip the largest ones so that they're all roughly the same size. This will help prevent a lopsided doll. Take a corn husk and lay it in front of you with the pointed end out, then lay a bunch of corn silk along its length. Next, lay two husks on top of the first husk and silk, also with their points away from you, and add more silk. Repeat everything one more time (for a total of six husks and hour sections of silk), and then tie the whole stack together about 1 ½ inches from the flat ends of the husks. Use scissors to round the flat ends of the husks. Pick up the husk and silk bundle and hold...

Article in English: To make this type of bioplastic, you will need cornstarch, distilled water, glycerol, white vinegar, a stove, a saucepan, a silicone spatula, and food coloring (if desired). These items should be readily available at the grocery store or online. Glycerol is also called glycerine, so try searching for that if you’re having trouble finding glycerol. The following amounts of each ingredient are needed to make the bioplastic:  10ml distilled water 0.5-1.5g glycerol 1.5g cornstarch 1ml of white vinegar 1-2 drops food coloring Adult supervision is recommended. Add all of the ingredients to the saucepan and stir to combine with the spatula. Stir until you get rid of most of the lumps in the mixture. At this stage, the mixture will be a milky white color and quite watery. If you add the wrong amounts of ingredients, just dispose of the mixture and start again. Place the saucepan on the stove and set the heat to medium-low. Stir continuously as the mixture heats. Bring it to a gentle boil. As the mixture heats, it will become more translucent and begin to thicken.  Remove the mixture from the heat when it becomes clear and thick. Total heating time will be around 10-15 minutes. Lumps may begin to form if the mixture gets overheated. Add one-two drops of food coloring at this stage, if you would like to color the plastic. Spread the heated mixture onto a piece of foil or parchment paper to let it cool. If you would like to mold the plastic into a shape, it must be done while it is still warm. See the last method for details on molding the plastic. Remove any bubbles that you see by poking them with a toothpick. It will take time for the plastic to dry and harden. As it cools, it will begin to dry out. Depending on the thickness of the plastic, it can take longer for it to dry. If you make one small thick piece it will take longer to dry than a thinner larger piece.  Leave the plastic in a cool, dry place for this process. Check the plastic after two days to see if it has fully hardened.

Article in English: To manage the pain of your sore throat and also to control fever, your best bet is to take Acetaminophen (Tylenol), which is available over-the-counter at your local pharmacy or drugstore. The typical dosing is limited to a total of 3000 mg in a 24 hour period; follow the specific dosing instructions on the bottle, and pay attention to dose adjustments (to smaller amounts) for children. Another over-the-counter pain control medication that you can try is Ibuprofen (Advil). Follow the dosing instructions on the bottle, which is typically 400mg every four to six hours as needed. Again, you will want to adjust the dosing for children. Another way to help control the pain of a sore throat is to purchase lozenges — these can often be found at either a grocery store or a pharmacy. Many lozenges contain anti-microbial properties to help fight off infection, as well as anesthetic (numbing) properties to help diminish the pain of a sore throat. Do not take more lozenges per day than the number recommended on the label. Another way to soothe sore throat pain is to try a saltwater gargle, which can be done several times a day. Anytime your body is in the midst of fighting off an infection, you become more prone than normal to dehydration. Therefore, it is key to consume at least eight to ten 8-ounce cups of water per day, and more if you are feeling thirsty. A fever also worsens dehydration, so it is important to make an effort to stay adequately hydrated. Penicillin is usually the antibiotic of choice in the treatment of streptococcal infections (the bacteria responsible for scarlet fever). If your throat swab comes back positive for Group A Strep, or if you have the characteristic rash of scarlet fever, it is important to follow through with a full course of antibiotic treatment for a number of reasons. These include:  Antibiotics will help your symptoms to clear up faster and will help your immune system to fight off the infection.  Treatment with antibiotics will diminish the risk of your infection spreading to...

Article in English: To manipulate data, be it numbers or names, you need to store the data in a container. This process is called declaring the variable. The syntax for declaring a variable is “$myVariable = “Hello World!”;”  The dollar sign ($) at the beginning tells PHP that $myVariable is a variable. All variables must start with the dollar sign, but the name of the variable can be anything. In the above example, the value is "Hello World!", and the variable is $myVariable. You're telling PHP to store the value at the right of the equal sign, into the variable at the left of the equal sign. A variable containing a text value is known as a string. Referring to a variable in the code is known as a call. Declare your variable, then echo the variable instead of typing out the text. Your code might look something like:<?php>$myVariable = “Hello World!”;echo $myVariable;?> Variables can also contain numbers (known as integers), and then those numbers can be manipulated using simple mathematical functions. Start by declaring three variables called “$mySmallNumber”, “$myLargeNumber”, and “$myTotal”. Your code should look something like:<?php$mySmallNumber;$myLargeNumber;$myTotal;?> Give an integer value to “$mySmallNumber” and “myLargeNumber”.  Note that integer values do not need to be contained in quotation marks. That will cause numbers to be treated as a text value like the “Hello World!” variable. Your code should look something like:<?php$mySmallNumber = 12;$myLargeNumber = 356;$myTotal;?> Rather than doing the math yourself, you can call the two variables in the “$myTotal” variable. Using a mathematical function, the machine will calculate the sum for you. To print the variable, you need only add an echo statement that calls the variable after the declaration.  Any change to either integer variable would be reflected when printing the “$myTotal” variable with echo. Your code should look something like:<?php$mySmallNumber = 12;$myLargeNumber = 356;$myTotal = $mySmall Number + $myLargeNumber;echo $myTotal;?> Your browser window...

Article in English: To maximize health benefits, proponents of black seed oil recommend eating up to three teaspoons of it a day. The easiest way to do this is by swallowing a teaspoon of the oil with each meal. You can mix the oil into anything you’d normally eat or drink instead of consuming it raw. The oil has a strong, bitter taste and has a thick consistency like cooking oil. Mixing the black seed oil with a healthy alternative like honey masks the oil’s bitter taste. Combine one teaspoon of honey with one teaspoon of black seed oil in a small bowl. Stir them together and enjoy the oil however you’d like. Lemon juice can be substituted in for the honey. Combine a teaspoon of it with the oil to mask the flavor. Black seed oil is a natural substitute for olive oil and dressings used on vegetables. Pour a teaspoon of it directly on your vegetables or mix it with lemon juice or honey first. You’ll get the benefits of the oil without having to swallow it like medicine. Drinks hide both the flavor and consistency of the oil. After you brew tea, stir a teaspoon of the oil into your cup. That teaspoon of oil can also be blended inside a smoothie. Honey and lemon juice are often used in these types of strong drinks, so the oil is a natural accompaniment. Try taking it on an empty stomach.

Article in English: To maximize the absorption and impact of a turmeric-based facial paste, you should first thoroughly (but gently) clean your skin and open your pores.  And honestly, what better way is there to begin a relaxing facial than with a nice, warm bath? Take a warm bath or shower to open up your pores.  While doing so, cleanse your face and body with a gentle soap that removes dirt and impurities without overly drying or irritating your skin.  Rinse away the soap completely with clean, warm water, and dry your skin thoroughly but gently with a soft, clean towel. Turmeric facials aren’t meant to be a quick, on-the-go treatment.  Wait until you have some time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the process without rushing it.  Once you’ve applied your turmeric concoction of choice, recline in a comfy bed, chair, or other nice spot where you can wait 20 minutes or more for the paste to dry.  Place cucumber slices or steeped and cooled chamomile tea bags on you eyes to enhance the relaxation quotient. Use towels to protect your chosen reclining spot, and any clothes you are wearing.  Turmeric facial pastes will stain fabrics. Although most turmeric facials should be allowed to dry thoroughly on your skin, they can usually be removed fairly easily with a clean cloth, warm water, and gentle but thorough wiping, dabbing, and rubbing.  Once again, don’t rush things.  Meticulously and calmly wipe away the paste. You can use moistened cotton balls or swabs to remove the dried paste from creases and crevices.  Once the paste is completely removed, rinse your face with warm water, splash it with cool water, and pat it dry with a clean towel. The vibrant golden color of turmeric powder lends credence to warnings that pastes that include it can cause yellowish discolorations of your skin.  These concerns tend to be overblown, however.  If a turmeric facial does cause a yellowing of your skin, it should only be temporary and should wear or wash away without much trouble.  If you are getting married or have a big interview the next day,...

Article in English: To maximize your bloom time, cut your tulips when they are in the advanced bud stage. This is when the flower hasn’t quite emerged, but the bud is close to blooming and the color of the flower is visible. The flower will fully bloom in 1-4 days. You’ll see a pink or purplish color from within the mainly green bud, for example. Using a sharp knife, garden shears, or scissors, make your cut on the stem at angle. Cutting the plant at an angle keeps it healthy and promotes regrowth. You can cut your tulips to any desired length. For a standard vase size, cut the stem to around 12–18 in (30–46 cm). Only cut the stem of your tulip plants, rather than trimming the leaves as well. Make your cut towards the base of the plant, but ensure there are no leaves in the way. This keeps your plant healthy. Leaving the foliage in place helps the plant build up energy for next year. Fill up a vase of your choosing about ⅔ of cool water, and then place your tulips inside. You can fill up your vase with many tulips, or you can also add other flowers or floral accents.  Avoid adding paperwhite narcissus or daffodils to your tulip vase. These flowers exude a gummy sap that can harm your tulips. Using floral preservative is not necessary for tulips. If you want to use one, simply shake it into the water before you place your tulips into the vase. Use a knife to cut the end of the plant at an angle, removing about 1⁄16–1⁄8 in (0.16–0.32 cm) of the stem. A knife is the preferred tool to make the cut, as scissors can crush the stem and make it more difficult for the plant to absorb water. To maintain the health of your tulips, dump out the water every day. Then, fill your vase up with cool water. With proper care, your tulips can last 7-14 days in a vase.  This helps the plants absorb water and extend their vase life. Tulips stay fresh the longest in cold water, rather than warm or hot.

Article in English: To move forward and redefine yourself, you will have to begin with understanding who you are at this point in time. Look at your life objectively:  Ask yourself what your values, goals, and dreams are. You can start by creating a list, or use a personal assessment exercise to narrow them down.  Consider what you are actually prioritizing in your life right now, and see if it matches who you want to be. Avoid self-criticisms and negative statements towards yourself. This will not help you achieve your goals and drag you down. Think about how you spend your time when you are alone. This is often provides insight on what you really value, and who you want to be.  To get an idea of how you use your time, make a rough schedule of how you spend your week, listing all of your activities and obligations. Make a list of your hobbies, special interests, etc. Consider if your schedule contains any surprises. For instance, are you spending very little time on a hobby or interest that you find very important? Too much time on something you don't like doing? When analyzing who you currently are, it might be helpful to talk to yourself about yourself in the third person. Doing so can switch your mind into a more objective way of thinking, thereby allowing you to perceive yourself more accurately. Imagine that you are at a party, in a classroom, or some other situation, having a conversation. Each participant in the conversation represents a different part of you, or a value you hold. Play out the scenario in your head; what would that conversation be like? How would it show compassion and love for yourself?

Article in English: To multiply radicals using the basic method, they have to have the same index. The "index" is the very small number written just to the left of the uppermost line in the radical symbol. If there is no index number, the radical is understood to be a square root (index 2) and can be multiplied with other square roots. You can multiply radicals with different indexes, but that is a more advanced method and will be explained later. Here are two examples of multiplication using radicals with the same indexes:   Ex. 1: √(18) x √(2) = ?  Ex. 2: √(10) x √(5) = ?  Ex. 3: 3√(3) x 3√(9) = ? Next, simply multiply the numbers under the radical or square root signs and keep them there. Here's how you do it:   Ex. 1: √(18) x √(2) = √(36)  Ex. 2: √(10) x √(5) = √(50)  Ex. 3: 3√(3) x 3√(9) = 3√(27) If you've multiplied radicals, there's a good chance that they can be simplified to perfect squares or perfect cubes, or that they can be simplified by finding a perfect square as a factor of the final product. Here's how you do it:   Ex. 1: √(36) = 6. 36 is a perfect square because it is the product of 6 x 6. The square root of 36 is simply 6.  Ex. 2: √(50) = √(25 x 2) = √([5 x 5] x 2) = 5√(2). Though 50 is not a perfect square, 25 is a factor of 50 (because it divides evenly into the number) and is a perfect square. You can break 25 down into its factors, 5 x 5, and move one 5 out of the square root sign to simplify the expression. You can think of it like this: If you throw the 5 back under the radical, it is multiplied by itself and becomes 25 again.   Ex. 3:3√(27) = 3. 27 is a perfect cube because it's the product of 3 x 3 x 3. The cube root of 27 is therefore 3.

Article in English: To overcome discouragement, you have to choose optimism and positivity. Even though this might feel forced or like you’re “faking it” at first, eventually your efforts will pay off. Rather than thinking you will fail at achieving your goal before you even start, believing that you can achieve it if you go slowly and work hard will help you accomplish your goal. If you have 50lbs to lose, for example, it can seem overwhelming. However, if you reframe your weight loss goal in a positive light and imagine that you only have to lose 5lbs ten times, then your goal seems more doable. Optimism and positive thinking are key to mentally framing your goals and subsequently achieving them. Anger over past mistakes or injustices will discourage you and make you feel inadequate. Acknowledge your anger and remember that while it’s okay to feel that way, it isn’t beneficial for you. Move past your anger and focus on your goals.  Anger is often a manifestation of other emotions like frustration, insecurity, injustice, or feeling hurt. Try to channel your anger constructively. Healthy ways to Control Anger include deep breathing and taking a time out, for example.  Relaxing distractions like reading or journaling are also helpful outlets for venting frustrations. Fear, just like anger, is toxic to encouragement and happiness. If you live in fear of failure or never accomplishing important goals, it can feel like your fears are paralyzing. Incorporating anxiety alleviating techniques is key to moving beyond your fears and avoiding discouragement and fear. It's important to address your fears so that you can adequately Deal With Anxiety. For example, if you have to fly for work and you're afraid to fly, this can disrupt your plans to earn an excellent evaluation at work. Using exposure therapies and cognitive behavioral therapy helps you calm your fears and desensitizes you to the intimidating experience. Use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you face your fears and anxieties head-on. Comparing yourself to friends, family,...

Article in English: To plant shallots, you'll need at least one set of shallots for planting, a space to plant them, and some gardening tools and equipment, such as:  Soil Well-decomposed compost Spade or shovel You can plant shallots in either fall or spring, but you'll get an earlier crop if you plant in fall. Also, some say that you'll get larger and better tasting shallots if you put them through vernalization.  Vernalization is the process of exposing a seed or whole plant to cold temperatures in order to promote growth.  To plant in fall, pick a date that’s after the first frost and before the cold weather. In spring, aim for early in the season, in March or April. Shallots need full sun, well-draining soil, and an area that’s as free of weeds as possible. Raised beds are ideal for shallots, especially if your ground is particularly wet. Soils that drain well include:  Sand Silt Loam You can help your shallots by mixing the soil in the seedbed with compost that’s very highly decomposed. Add one bucketful of compost per square meter (1.1 by 1.1 yards).  Avoid adding manure to the soil, as it’s too high in nitrogen. The ideal pH for shallot soil is between 6.2 and 6.8. Like garlic, shallots grow in heads that contain multiple bulbs. If your shallots aren't in separate bulbs, peel each one away from the main head. Each bulb will grow a new shallot head that contains several bulbs, or cloves. To plant shallots, space the bulbs out so there's about two to six inches (five to 15 cm) between each bulb. Push each bulb into the soil with the roots facing down. Keep pushing until the shallot is about three-quarters buried in the soil. Alternatively, you can also plant shallot seeds instead of bulbs. Plant the seeds at the same distance, and bury each seed about 0.5 inches (1 cm) deep. Plants seeds in spring rather than fall. For fall plantings, cover the top of the shallots with straw, hay, leaves, or wood chips to help protect them from the cold and frost over the winter. For the best results, use a good six inches (15 cm) of...

Article in English: To play ultimate Frisbee, you’ll need a bit of room to spread out. Traditionally played on soccer or football fields, ultimate Frisbee can be played in any open field that’s at least 70 yards by 40 yards, with marked-off end zones at each end, where points are scored. In regulation Ultimate Frisbee, the end zones are 20 yards deep. Work with the space you have. If you’re playing in a backyard, don’t worry about measuring it off. Just set up two end zones at each end of the yard to give each team a territory, then start playing. Ultimate Frisbee is a team sport that will require at least a handful of players on each side to play. Split up your group of friends into two evenly-divided teams.  The absolute minimum of players would be four–two per team–but that would be a challenging game. It’s usually best with between five and seven players, per side. Regulation Ultimate Frisbee teams have seven players on each side, though the roster can include as many players as you want. Players may be substituted any time after a point is scored. You can play Ultimate Frisbee with any kind of Frisbee, though it’s typically easier and more recommended to play with a slightly heavier version of the classic recreational disc. This makes controlling your passes and your distance a lot easier than with a basic beach Frisbee. 175 gram Frisbees are recommended for playing Ultimate Frisbee, which are widely available at sporting goods stores. The Discraft Ultra-Star 175 is the official playing disc for the USA Ultimate Championship Series. As in soccer, American football, lacrosse, or other goal-based sports, each team has one end zone that they’re defending and will attempt to score in their opponent’s end zone. The object of the game is to move the Frisbee down the field by completing passes to your teammates.  The player in possession of the Frisbee may not move and must not hold the Frisbee for longer than 10 seconds. The rest of the players will move around the field and attempt to get open for a pass. If a pass is dropped,...

Article in English: To prepare your eyebrows for threading, sit in front of a mirror with your supplies spread out before you on a table. Make sure the room has good lighting so you can clearly see your eyebrows in the mirror. This will make it easier to prepare and thread your brows. Do not use a magnifying mirror, as this can lead to over threading. A standard mirror with good lighting will be fine.

Article in English: To prolong your color and make it look more vibrant, you can use a vinegar rinse made up of equal parts water and white vinegar. Pour one cup of white vinegar and one cup of water into a medium sized bowl. Then, pour the solution over your hair. Leave it in for about two minutes and then rinse well. You may want to shampoo and condition your hair again after doing a vinegar rinse to remove the smell of the vinegar from your hair. The less often you wash your hair, the longer your hair color will last. If possible, try to wash your hair no more than twice per week. To keep your hair looking clean between washes, you can use a dry shampoo.  When you do wash your hair, make sure that you only use cool or lukewarm water to wash it. It is also helpful to follow up your conditioner with a blast of very cool water to close the hair shaft and lock in more of the color. Heat can cause the color to bleed from your hair and this may cause your hair color to fade faster.  To prevent this, try to avoid using any heat treatments, such as blow dryers, flat irons, or hot rollers.  If you need to dry your hair, make sure that you use the cool or warm setting on your blow dryer rather than the hot setting. If you want to curl your hair, then try putting foam rollers in before you go to bed. These will curl your hair without the use of heat. Most blue dyes are semi-permanent colors and these dyes tend to fade fast, so you might notice your color fading a little over time. To maintain your vibrant blue color, you will need to re-dye your hair about once every three to four weeks.

Article in English: To properly work on your breathing, it needs to be your main focus – not on how uncomfortable your legs are, or how you want to hang a picture on the wall you’re staring at. Choose between a chair and a pillow on the floor – whichever would be most comfortable is the best choice.  In a chair, sit with your back straight, your feet flat on the ground, and knees shoulder width apart. On the floor, choose either a cross-legged position or kneeling. Pay attention to breathing in and out. Make sure you are using your diaphragm, not just your chest. Breathing from your diaphragm (lower in your body, close to your stomach) allows you to get more air both in and out. Cycling a lot of air through your body is essential to developing your chi. Keep doing this exercise over the course of days and weeks until it becomes natural. Then you can begin to attempt this style of breathing wherever you might be to help get your energy flowing. It’s difficult to keep your mind neutral and away from thinking about anything and everything. But for the 5-10 minutes that you are practicing breathing, try to just focus on that. The in and the out are like the yin and yang – opposites, yet interconnected. Not actually breathing in the physical shape, breathing in a square is for after you have mastered the basic breathing from the diaphragm. Put yourself into your comfortable seated position to begin. To breathe in a square:  Breathe in Hold your breath for 5 seconds Breathe out Hold your breath for 5 seconds

Article in English: To protect your hardware from damage, shut off your computer first before attempting to clean the keyboard. If your keyboard is wired, pull out the plug connecting it to the computer. If you can't remove the keyboard, such as when cleaning a laptop, disconnect your computer's power cable to eliminate the risk of electrical shock.  USB keyboards can be unplugged before you shut down the computer. Doing this with a non-USB keyboard may damage your computer, so if you're unsure, always shut down the computer first. Take the batteries out of wireless keyboards, especially if you plan on deep cleaning the keys. Flip your keyboard and knock off as much loose debris as possible. Be gentle when shaking the keyboard. Most food crumbs, dirt, pet hair, and other debris will fall out right away. Tilt the keyboard in different directions and tap it a little harder to force out any leftover debris you notice.  Listen for the sound of debris rattling around inside the keyboard. This happens sometimes with mechanical keyboards and other devices with raised keys. Consider taking the keyboard apart to give it a deep cleaning. If you're cleaning a laptop, hold the screen open while supporting the computer's base with your other hand. Compressed air is your most reliable tool for general cleaning. Hold the canister at a 45-degree angle while pointing it at the keys. Sweep the nozzle across the keyboard while letting out controlled bursts of air. Keep the nozzle 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) above the keyboard at all times.  Compressed air is often available at office supply stores, electronics shops, and general stores. You can also order canisters online. To fully clean the keyboard, blow at it from different angles. Face it towards you at first, then rotate it to either side. If you're cleaning a laptop or membrane keyboard, try holding it as you blow it out. Keep it tilted at about a 75-degree angle so it isn't completely vertical. The suction power from a dust vacuum lifts away most stubborn debris stuck between the keys. If you don't...

Article in English: To reduce itchy skin, keep showers or baths under 20 minutes and use lukewarm water instead of hot water. This routine helps promote your skin’s natural moisture and can help reduce itching.  Avoid hot showers as this can cause your skin to dry more and worsen the itch. Also avoid using perfumed soaps, shower gels and deodorants that may irritate the skin and opt for soaps that contain a moisturizer to help soften and hydrate skin. Pat dry your skin instead of rubbing it to reduce further irritation. If the itch is caused by dry skin, it is essential you moisturize your skin immediately after shower and at least twice a day to avoid dryness. Moisturizers help seal in your skin’s natural moisture and help promote a healthy and elastic skin.  Use unscented and hypoallergenic lotions (such as Eucerin and Cetaphil) or try oatmeal-derived moisturizers, such as Aveeno. You can even use plain Vaseline to lock in the moisture. Avoid using moisturizers that contain fragrances, alcohol or other irritating chemicals as these may worsen the itch. Avoid harsh and rigid fabrics (such as wool) as these can irritate your skin even more. Wear loose clothing that is made of non-irritating materials (such as cotton or silk).  Also wash your clothes using an unscented or hypoallergenic laundry detergent and avoid using fabric softeners. Some laundry detergents can leave a residue on the clothes, which can worsen the itch. You may also want to use cotton bed sheets that can help reduce irritation during the night. Omega-3s are essential fatty acids that help your skin produce oil and stay hydrated. If you lack these essential fats in your diet, your skin can get dry and itchy.  Good sources of omega 3 fatty acids are salmon, walnuts, eggs, sardines, soy, safflower oil and flax seeds. You can also take a fish oil or other omega-3 oil capsules to ensure you are getting enough. Our bodies are dependent on water to survive. A lack of water can lead to dehydration, resulting in dry and itchy skin.  The Institute of Medicine has...

Article in English: To reduce the risk of accidentally burning yourself, let the cooking oil cool completely before you dispose of it. Never lift heavy pots full of hot oil or pour the hot oil into the trash. Depending on how much hot oil you have, you may need to wait a few hours for it to cool.  If you have to, you can leave the oil out overnight so it comes to room temperature. If you only have a small amount of cooking oil left in your pan, let it cool and then wipe it up with a paper towel. If you want to reuse the oil, ensure that the container is clean. While you can use a glass container, it could shatter if you drop it. Plastic containers with screw tops such as peanut butter jars are great cooking oil containers. Remember to label the container to prevent someone from accidentally using the oil. If you are not planning on donating your oil or reusing it, you can also cut the top off of a soda can and pour the oil into that. Seal the container with the used oil and place it in your trash can. Avoid simply pouring the oil into the trash can because this can make a mess and attract rodents. If you don't have a resealable container, you can set the container with the oil in the freezer. For example, put an old can full of oil in the freezer for a few hours. Once the oil is hard, use a spoon to scoop the oil directly into the trash can. You can also do this with a mug. Just wash the mug out with soapy water once you've disposed of the cooking oil. Take a plastic bag that already has some waste. For example, you can use a bag that has old paper towels, veggie scraps, or tissues. Pour the cool oil directly into the bag so the trash and scraps soak up some of the grease. Tie the bag and place it in your trash can. Never pour any cooking grease down your kitchen sink because it will eventually block the pipes. Diluting the grease with soap or water will not prevent the oil from coating the pipes. Seriously clogged pipes can cause flooding and sewage backups, so it's important to never dispose of the oil in the sink. Don't put...

Article in English: To remove tarnish from silver, you can also use household products.  Take ¼ of a cup of baking soda and mix it with 2 tablespoons of water into a thick paste. Take a damp sponge, and rub it on the silver, then rinse it, and dry it. You can also use baking soda to polish gold by covering the gold with a light coating of it. Then, pour vinegar over it, and rinse it. You can make gold shine more if you put a little bit of beer on a piece of towel and then rub it over the jewelry.   Believe it or not, but you can also put silver in ketchup to make it brighter. Put the jewelry in the ketchup only for a few minutes. This will remove built-up tarnish on earrings with silver backings or to polish earrings with gold backings.  For silver earrings, combine 1/4 of cup baking soda with 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Dip a damp sponge into the baking soda mixture.

Article in English: To see if a girl is interested in kissing you, give her compliments to send the message that you like her. Casually say something nice about her hair, outfit, or style. Include compliments about her personality or intellect so that you don’t come off as materialistic.  Say, “I really like the way that outfit matches your eyes,” or, “You have the cutest haircut.” Include compliments about her personality. For example, “I love your laugh,” and “You’re so smart,” are excellent, simple compliments that you can use. Try to compliment things that relate to her specifically. Saying that she lives in a nice house, for example, isn’t going to get you anywhere. Try to compliment a girl when you’re spending time with her alone. If you’re with a group of people, they may poke fun at you for trying to flirt. When you lock eyes with her, don’t divert your gaze like you’re ashamed or scared of her. Instead, keep your eyes on her and crack a slight smile without showing your teeth. Making eye contact and smiling are two of the easiest ways to send subtle messages that you’re interested in someone.  If it turns out she doesn’t like you back, you can always play it off like the eye contact and smiling were simply you being nice. Making eye contact is a sign of confidence. Don’t stare for more than 4-5 seconds. Aggressive staring can come off as creepy if you do it for too long. If she smiles back, maintains eye contact, or blushes and turns away while smiling, she’s probably interested in you. If she furrows her eyebrows, turns away without smiling, or simply doesn’t respond, she probably doesn’t want to kiss. Pay attention to her body language—especially in the moments leading up to a potential smooch. When you’re alone with her, try casually brushing your hand against hers to see how she responds. If her fingers open up, try holding her hand. If hand holding seems like too much, lean up against her while you’re walking. If she doesn’t shy away, try throwing your arm around her.  If she cuddles her way under your arm or holds...

Article in English: To seek help for bipolar disorder, you first need to recognize and accept that you have this condition. Start by recognizing the symptoms you may be experiencing due to the disorder on a daily basis. During the manic phase, you may have symptoms like a high level of energy and activity, an irritable mood, rapid thoughts, a tendency to get distracted, and increased recklessness. You may also experience delusions or hallucinations as well as paranoid or suspicious thoughts.  Write down your symptoms and pay close attention to how your moods swing back and forth throughout the day or week. You can then use these notes when you meet with a mental health professional to discuss your treatment options. Be aware that bipolar disorder may be misdiagnosed because there is another type of bipolar that includes a hypomanic state. This form is more subtle and often hard to pick up. Hypomanic symptoms include spending an excessive amount of money, impulsive shopping, binge eating, and difficulty sleeping. During the depressive phase, you may have symptoms like a lack of appetite, a lack of sleep or too much sleep, fatigue and low energy, and poor concentration. You may also feel worthless or guilty and have thoughts of death or suicide. Having bipolar disorder means you will swing from the manic phase to the depressive phase. You may have periods where you feel more manic and periods where you feel more depressed. However, keep in mind that there will also be many times when you feel normal, especially if you are being treated for your bipolar disorder. Rapid cycling between these two phases is rare. However, if you feel that your mood easily fluctuates day to day or week to week, speak to your doctor about whether or not you have bipolar disorder and learn what your treatment options are. Once you recognize that you have the symptoms of bipolar disorder, take steps to acknowledge that you need help and treatment for this condition. Be honest with yourself and those around you. Admit that you have the disorder and accept...

Article in English: To send the signal you just want to be friends, keep the guy in question in your friends group. Avoid solo hang outs. When inviting him out, make it clear a whole group is coming and not just the two of you.  For example, invite him to a movie night with a group of friends. You can also redirect him if he asks you to go somewhere with him. For example, say he asks you to go to a party with him. Say something like, "Oh, I'm going with a whole group of my friends. You're totally welcome to join." Many people are casually touchy with their friends. You may hug friends hello or goodbye or casually pat friends on the shoulder during conversation. If you think a guy likes you, refrain from engaging in these rituals with him. This can easily send the wrong message. It's normal to compliment your friends. However, you don't want to go overboard complimenting a guy you think likes you. This may make him think you're interested when you're not.  For example, say he's wearing a shirt you like. Saying something like, "You look nice today" could come off as flirtatious. Instead, find a less flirty comment. Say something like, "Nice shirt!" You could also forego commenting altogether, just to be safe. If the guy starts flirting with you, try your best to ignore it. Responding to flirtation could be read the wrong way. If the guy, say, grins at you from across the room, return his gaze with a curt nod rather than smiling back. If a guy is persistently flirting with you in ways that make you feel uncomfortable, say something. For example, "I really don't like you touching me all the time."

Article in English: To square your height, multiply your height in inches by itself. For example, if you are 70 inches tall, then multiply 70 by 70. Your answer for this example would be 4,900. Next, you will need to divide your weight by your squared height. For example, if your weight in pounds is 180, then divide 180 by 4,900. You would get an answer of 0.03673. The equation is weight/height2. To get your BMI, you will then need to multiply your last answer by 703. For example, 0.03673 multiplied by 703 equals 25.82, so your approximate BMI in this example would be 25.8.

Article in English: To start treating a mildew-infected carpet or rug, remove as much of the mold from between the tightly-packed fibers as possible by sweeping or beating the carpet with a broom. Make sure to wear a dust mask and, if possible, perform this task outside away from children and pets; inhaling mildew can be hazardous to your health. For a deeper clean, you can also use a hand brush rather than a broom. Carpets and rugs are typically tougher than the fabrics listed above, so you can get away with using slightly stiffer bristles, but your should still take care not to scrub too hard or you may damage the carpet fibers. Next, use a vacuum cleaner to suck up all of the of the mold you've just dislodged in the last step. Any standard hose attachment should work, but for extra cleaning power, you may want to use a vacuum head with mechanical rollers or brushes. It's a good idea to empty your vacuum after using it to treat mildew. If you don't, mildew spores can be blown into the air the next time you vacuum. To reduce the health dangers of inhalation, empty your vacuum outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Soak a sponge or a small rag in a mixture of soap and warm water. Wring the soap or rag out, then dab at the formerly mildew-y spot to let the cleaning solution soak in somewhat. Don't scrub or grind the sponge or rag into the carpet, as this can force mildew spores deep into the fibers. Avoid using excess water. If you soak your carpet, you'll be creating the sort of moist conditions that led to the growth of the mildew in the first place. Your goal here is to gently clean the carpet fibers, not give them a bath. After you apply soap and water, to remove any excess moisture, give the affected section of carpet another quick vacuuming. It will probably be impossible to remove all of the moisture, but the more water you're able to suck out of the carpet before you leave it to dry, the better. Mildew, like many molds, thrives in dank, dark, wet conditions. By removing these conditions, you can make it less likely for...

Article in English: To start, bring 2 cups of water to a full boil. Remove the pan from the heat, add 1 cup of dry, instant coffee, 3 1/2 cups of white sugar, and stir until everything is completely dissolved. If your diet restricts you from consuming processed, white sugar, you can easily substitute brown sugar or your favorite type of refined sugar substitute. There are dozens of recipes out there and plenty use other varieties of sugar. While water boils at 212 degrees F (100 degrees C), alcohol boils at around 172 degrees F (78 degrees C). Wait for your temperature to drop below 172 degrees before adding rum or you will be very disappointed by your Kahlua. If you don't have a cooking thermometer, your best bet is to wait about 15 or 20 minutes for it to cool down. Always err on the safer, cooler side in this situation and wait longer if you're unsure (and it still seems hot). What kind of rum? Well, that's up to you. Generally, it's safe to go middle-of-the-road on this part. You don't want to waste your top-shelf rum on making a Kahlua substitute, but you also don't want it to taste like mouthwash either. Any generic rum will do the trick. You'll notice that the next recipe contains vodka. If you're a bigger vodka fan, you could keep to this recipe if you'd like and switch out the rum for the vodka, no problem. And if you have time and the supplies, why not try both and see which you like better? Add the vanilla bean to the container and store in the fridge for at least 30 days to age the flavor. You read that right – to make Kahlua that way your mouth pictures it, it has to be aged. That being said, recipe #3 on this guide is an instant Kahlua you can use right away, though it won't taste the same. The vanilla needs time to infuse in to give it that essential Kahlua flavor. Vanilla extract can be substituted, but do note that the Kahlua won't have the same rich, aged flavor. Attach a label to the container identifying its contents and the date it was made. That way no one mistakes it for soda! What's more, you may not...

Article in English: To start, cross the left lace over the right lace. Wrap this left lace around the right lace and pull tight to complete a basic starting knot. Bend the left lace in half, forming a loop, and pinch the bottom of the loop together with your fingers. Repeat the same thing with the right lace and hold that loop secure with your other hand.  Hold the two loops side by side for the moment. Quickly gauge the approximate size of each loop. They do not need to be perfectly even, but the two loops or “bunny ears” should be roughly equal in size. Fold the left loop over and around the right loop, and then gently pull it through the hole that forms between the two loops. Do not tighten yet. Bend the right loop forward so that it crosses under the left loop and the entire knot structure. Feed this loop through the same middle hole that you just fed the left loop through.  This can be done simultaneously with or immediately after taking care of the left loop. Note, however, that the left loop will need to be folded over before you begin working with this right loop. Otherwise, the middle hole you need to push the right loop through will not be created yet. After pulling the right loop through the center hole, the two lace loops should be about the same size again. Pull the right loop to the right and the left loop to the left to tighten the knot. Use even pressure on both laces to form an even, tidy bow.  As long as you apply enough pressure and tighten the knots thoroughly, they should not come undone, even with slippery leather laces. You might have to push the knot together a little as you tighten it.
