Article in English: Both coral snakes and scarlet king snakes like to spend their daytime hours under logs and leaf piles on the ground. They may also be found in caves and crevices in rocks. Be very careful when lifting a rock or log, or entering an underground space. If you see a colorful snake with a ring pattern climbing a tree, it's probably a nonvenomous king snake. Coral snakes very rarely climb trees. You should still look carefully to make sure it's not a coral snake, and play it safe by not getting too close. When coral snakes feel threatened, they move their tails and heads back and forth in order to try to confuse their predators. King snakes don't display this behavior. If you see a snake wagging its head and tail strangely, it's probably a coral, so stay back.  Coral snakes are very reclusive, and it's extremely rare to see them in the wild. They only strike when they feel extremely threatened, so if you see one displaying this behavior, you'll probably have time to get away. King snakes received their name because they eat other types of snakes, including venomous ones. They don't tend to display this sort of defensive behavior, although they have been known to hiss and shake their tails like rattlesnakes. In order to inject its venom, a coral snake must clamp down and chew its prey. Since it's usually possible to fling the snake off before it has time to fully inject venom, people rarely die from coral snake bites. However, left untreated, a coral snake bite can lead to cardiac arrest and death.  A coral snake bite is not extraordinarily painful at first. However, if venom has been injected, the victim will experience slurred speech, double vision, and paralysis so even if you don't feel anything after a coral snake bite still call emergency services.    If you ever get bitten by a coral snake, stay calm, remove constrictive clothing and jewelry and get medical help immediately.

Article in English: Both for making you tile installation as efficient as possible and for ensuring that the final project looks the way you want it to, it is important to spend some time designing your project before you begin. An easy way to do this is to create a life-sized cardboard  or plywood template of your tile surround, laying it on the floor, and using actual tiles to create your design.  Measure your firebox, then on a large piece of cardboard or plywood, draw the firebox's shape. Measure out from your firebox to the edge of the area you plan to tile, and draw this space on the cardboard as well. Then, cut it down to size. Hold the cardboard up to the actual fireplace to make sure your measurements are correct. You can then use these measurements to determine how much tile you need to buy. The easiest way to calculate the area you need to cover will be the multiply the height of your cardboard or plywood by the width. Then, calculate the area of the firebox in the same way, and subtract it from to the total area of the cardboard or plywood. Then, lay your template on the floor. Get some tiles and start trying different arrangements and patterns on top of it. This part of the project can be a lot of fun, and is a good way to make sure you have enough tile and will be happy with the design. It will also give you a sense of how many tiles you may need to cut, or maybe even allow you avoid cutting any tiles at all.  If you do this near the fireplace, you'll be able to pick tiles up directly from your template and mortar them into their corresponding spots on the actual fireplace surround. You will almost certainly drip some mortar on the ground during this process. It's also a good idea to get any furniture in the immediate area out of the way, both to protect it and to make sure you have enough space to work. If the mantle cannot be removed, tape the edges of the mantle with painter's tape where it meets the existing surround.  If you don't remove the mantle, do remove any items that may be on top of it. You will be...

Article in English: Both laptops will require a firewire input and you will need an appropriate firewire cord to connect them. This method makes the most sense if you are transferring between either two Macs or two PCs. If instead you are transferring between operating systems then look into a different method. Firewire plugs take a few different forms - double check you have the right cord and appropriate adaptors to fit both of your laptops before beginning. Use the client laptop (the one you want files transferred to) to find and access the server laptop (the one with the files). Once connected it should appear on the desktop or else where external drives normally appear. Now that your laptops are directly connected you can shift files as needed, similar to any other file management on your computer.

Article in English: Both men and women provide physical cues when they are attracted to another person. Major signs are dilated pupils, lifted shoulders, and feet pointed towards you.  Women sometimes play with their hair, tilt their head, or become coy when they are attracted to someone.  Men sometimes smile, sway, stretch, or gaze when they are attracted to someone. Sometimes the best thing to do is just be honest and tell the person about your attraction to them. Be prepared for rejection and do not take it personal if they do not return your affection. As discussed, there are many factors involved in attractiveness and you are sure to find someone else who thinks that you are attractive. A stable and healthy relationship requires that you value and appreciate each other. It is best when the attraction is mutual, but if that is not the case, consider moving on before you become too emotionally involved.

Article in English: Both options have advantages and disadvantages. Generally, for a wig that will be worn every day, you would want to use real hair. For a wig only worn on occasion, you might be able to use synthetic hair.  Natural hair look more realistic, tends to be more durable, and can tolerate heat and other styling products better. On the other hand, wigs made from real hair must be restyled after washes, the color can fade with light exposure, and the wigs can become damaged more easily. Synthetic hair does not look as realistic and can be damaged by heat and hair dye. On the other hand, wigs made from synthetic hair tend to be lighter, do not need to be restyled after washes, and do not fade as quickly. Run handfuls of hair through a hair heckle to detangle, straighten, and sort the hair. Pull and tie it into sections using hair elastics.  A hair heckle consists of a sturdy base with five rows of pointed needles. It can straighten hair and blend multiple shades together. Bolt the heckle down before using it. Lay one end of each hair section onto one drawing mat. Place the other drawing mat on top of the hair so that the pointed sides of both mats meet. Drawing mats are leather rectangles with short wires or needles along one side. They are used to keep hair straight and organized.

Article in English: Both perms and relaxers change your hair by changing the chemical bonds. For this reason, permed and relaxed hair is really vulnerable to breakage and damage. Also, try not to dye your hair, if you're also chemically styling it. These processes can increase the risk of damaging permed or relaxed hair. If you have scalp irritation, or any abrasions on your scalp, then you should not get a perm or use a relaxer. You should also hold off if you have just removed braids or extensions from your hair. Wait a few days or until your scalp is no longer irritated to relax or perm your hair. Coloring permed or relaxed hair is possible, but it can damage your hair. Try clip-in weaves for highlights instead. If you need color, wait at least three days but no more than seven days for your appointment or talk to your stylist about what's healthiest for your hair.

Article in English: Both square shapes (cubes) and rectangular shapes are considered rectangular prisms. In this formula, V is the volume, B is the area of the base, and h is the height. Simply multiply the area of the base times the height to find the volume. Use the same units for each side of the prism. Ideally, measure in feet so the result is in cubic feet. Otherwise, you can convert the units once you find the volume. To find the area of a rectangle, you need to know the length (L) and the width (W). Measure each side or refer to the diagram if the numbers are provided for you. To find the area of the base of a rectangular prism, multiply the length by the width.  For example, say the length of a room you're measuring is 10 feet and the width is 5 feet. Multiply 10 feet by 5 feet, which is 50 feet2. The feet are squared because you are multiplying not just the numbers but the units as well. Now that you know the area of the base, measure the height or refer to the diagram if you have one. Multiply the area of the base by the height to finish the formula. For example, if the height of the room is 15 feet, multiply 15 by 50 feet2 (the area of the base of the room from the previous step). The total volume of the room is 750 feet3.

Article in English: Both the plug and coil wires are located at the rear of almost all V8 engines. Four-cylinder engines have them placed on the right side, near the center of the engine. Six-cylinder engines are on the opposite: left side, near the center of the engine. Run a jump cable from the positive battery terminal to either the positive side of the coil, or the red wire that leads to the coil. This will give power to the dashboard, which is essential if you want to start the engine. On Ford cars, it is on the right-side fender well, near the battery. On GM cars, it is on the starter under the steering wheel. Place a flat blade screwdriver in the top center of the steering column, pushing between the wheel and the column. You want to push the locking pin away from the wheel. Don't worry, you're allowed to be rough here. The locking pin will not break or set off any alarms and you should be able to find the solenoid should be underneath. You will see a small wire at the top of the solenoid and the positive battery cable below. Remove the ignition switch wire from the solenoid and, using an insulated screwdriver, short the solenoid's positive post to the terminal where the ignition switch connects. Doing so will apply 12 volts directly from the battery. This should activate the solenoid, and the starter should crank the car.

Article in English: Both types of storms are most commonly associated with the Sahara and Gobi desert regions, they can occur in any arid or semi-arid climate. If you live in or are traveling in a dusty or sandy place with high winds, prepare yourself in case you get caught in a storm. Dust storms are most likely to occur on hot summer days under certain atmospheric conditions, and meteorologists can frequently predict the possibility of these storms. Tune in to local TV or radio broadcasts before traveling in hot,  dry conditions, and consider rerouting or delaying your trip if dust storms are predicted.  Roadside signs may also be available to warn you of dust storm danger. If there's a good chance you'll get caught in the storm, it's advisable not to travel at all. Stay home and batten down the hatches so you won't risk getting hurt or damaging your car. If you are in a storm-prone area, you should always be aware that a storm could occur.  If you'll be outside for a long period of time, wear long sleeves and pants to protect your body.  Carry a satchel or keep a box in the trunk of your car filled with items you need in the event of a sand or dust storm. Fill the emergency kit with these items:  A mask designed to filter out small particulates Airtight goggles A water supply A warm blanket, in the event of a winter dust storm, which can quickly lead to hypothermia.

Article in English: Both work and family are important, so you’ll need to make conscious choices as to how you balance your time and commitments. Make a list of your work and family goals, and prioritize the ones that feel most critical and meaningful to you. For example, maybe you’ve always been passionate about becoming a successful engineer, and also feel like you might want to have kids someday. If reaching a certain point in your career feels more critical to you right now than starting a family, consider waiting until you’ve settled into a job you love before having kids. You don’t want to feel smothered by a dead-end job, do you? Think of realistic goals for yourself to achieve at work. When you succeed at work, the rewards will spill over into your family life. Work goals range from short-term to long-term.  For example, a short-term goal might be something like completing a work project within a particular timeframe, or making a small change to your office environment. Having a long-term goal or several will help motivate you to make the most of your time at work. Think about where you’d like to be in 5 years. If your answer is “Not in this job,” then you probably need to start thinking of strategies to help realize your long-term career goals. If you have goals at home too, they can positively affect your work life. Strive for personal growth. Learn something new, whether or not it relates to your job. When you learn, your brain constantly applies new knowledge to old tasks. Most likely, you’ll begin to think of better ways of doing your job, too.  Think about long-term personal goals. Do you want to have children, get married, or move to a new area? Consider what is important to you at home and then make career decisions that will help you get there. It’s also important to set short-term personal goals for yourself. This could be something as simple as planning to take your kids to a movie over the weekend, or something more involved, like planning a spring cleaning week with your family.

Article in English: Bottling up your feelings may actually allow the doubt to fester.  Let it go by talking about it with your partner. Be candid with them and come out and say what's bugging you. You might say, “We never have conversations about the future and it makes me doubt your feelings for me.” After sharing your fears, ask your partner for support and reassurance. You might want them to remind you how much they love you,  or you might want a show of affection, like a hug and a kiss.  You might ask something like, "I need to hear that I'm your top priority. Can you tell me please?" Be cautious of too much reassurance-seeking as it can make you appear clingy to your partner. Determine what about your partner's behavior causes you to feel doubt. Then, put your heads together and figure out ways to work through it.  For instance, if you feel doubt because your partner keeps putting off important conversations about the future, have a candid talk about that and find a  middle ground. If doubt rears its head after a nasty fight, try going to couples therapy and learning better  conflict resolution skills. Talk to each other about how you like to share and receive love. For example, some people like to do things for the person they love to show how they feel, while others like to shower their partner with compliments and declarations of love. Since it's normal for people to have a different "love language," it's important to know how both of you show love so that there aren't misunderstandings. Doubt can creep in when couples go through inevitable droughts of quality time and affection. Making more time for bonding and intimacy can help those doubts fade away.  Compare your schedules and pinpoint a few days or nights per week that you can spend time together one-on-one. Make the most of quality time by silencing your phones and letting others know it's couple time. As your partner tries to modify their behavior and make you feel more secure in the relationship, show appreciation for their progress. Speak up when you see them...

Article in English: Bows look fantastic on fabric belts made for women (and men who are very confident dressers). Best of all, they can be made from fabric leftover from the belt itself for an easy match! There are nearly endless bow variations — from basic shoelace-style knots to much more intricate designs. You may want to stitch your finished bow directly to your belt, but there are other alternatives: for instance, attaching it over an unattractive buckle to hide it. For several easy bow-tying ideas, see our article on the subject. If you're handy with a needle and thread or a sewing machine, you may want to add detail stitching to give your belt some extra personality. This stitching can be as complex as you desire: anything from simple designs like zigzags to intricate designs like flowers are possible, depending on how much time you'd like to spend. Another great idea is cross stitching, a technique which allows you to stitch images with pre-made designs (or your own custom-made ones). See our  cross stitching article for more information. If you're looking for a challenging project, try adding criss-crossing corset-style lacing to your belt. This can be  done in several ways. The easiest it probably to punch repeating holes along the top and bottom edges of the belt and criss-cross a long decorative string or ribbon through them. However, alternatives are possible: if you're confident in your sewing abilities, you can even put a break in the back of the belt and sew in real corset-style fasteners. For help, see our articles on making a corset for basic corset-making guidelines. Your belt is yours to customize, so don't be afraid to go wild with it. There's almost no limit to the ways you can make your belt "yours" except your imagination and the tools you have handy! Here are just a few ideas to get you started customizing your belt — there are many, many more:  Add designs with markers Stitch or write your favorite quote on it Bleach or tear it for a distressed look Add rhinestones, faux metal spikes, etc. Stitch in...

This could be his or her beautiful blue eyes, the way your loved one can make you smile no matter how awful you feel, or how your significant other knows exactly what you're thinking even if you're miles away.  Make a list of adjectives that describe your beloved's best qualities. Think about the ones you want to emphasize in your vows.  Focus on anecdotes to help emphasize your beloved's best qualities. Saying he is "kind" is less effective than talking about the time he cleaned the whole house because he knew your family was coming for a visit.  Think about the times your beloved has really been there for you. All good relationships still have some rough patches, and you should think about how your loved one showed character when he helped you through a rough time in your life. Write down the most memorable moments you have shared with your future spouse. This could be anything from your amazing vacation to Napa Valley to the time he stayed in to watch two days worth of bad television with you when you had all of your wisdom teeth taken out.

Article in English: Branches that are damaged or broken should be pruned off whenever they are noticed throughout the year. Remove the entire broken branch all the way back to the branch collar. There is no need to seal the wound with anything. The tree will quickly form a natural barrier and paint or tree wound dressing can interfere with that process. While tulip magnolias are generally not bothered by common tree diseases, they can occasionally develop cankers.  When cankers or small patches of discolored or oozing bark are present on a branch, the entire branch should be pruned off all the way back to the branch collar. Remove the branch when the weather is dry to help prevent spread of the disease. Disinfect the loppers with household disinfectant or a mixture of 10% bleach in water before and after using them on the diseased branch.  This will prevent the disease from spreading to other branches or indeed other parts of the garden. Always wipe the disinfectant or bleach water off the loppers before using them.

Article in English: Brassiness is the unwanted red, orange, or yellow color that often occurs from bleaching. The darker your hair was before bleaching, the more likely it is that you will have some brassiness in it afterward. Choose green, blue, or violet-based toner depending on which unwanted color you want to neutralize the most.  Most people apply toner immediately after bleaching their hair, as this is the best time for your hair to absorb the toner. You can do it anytime, however. Follow the instructions on your brand of toner exactly, to avoid having your hair become too neutralized, or tinged with grey or lavender. Green-based toner neutralizes red brassiness. Blue-based toner neutralizes orange, while violet-based toner neutralizes yellow. If you’re unsure which toner to use, consult an employee at the beauty supply store where you’re buying it. When you buy toner, use a 10 or 20 volume developer for it, according to the instructions on the package. Some shampoos that are specially made for blonde-treated hair actually contain toner in them to help you achieve a cool, neutral blonde look. You can find these shampoos at beauty supply stores as well as many pharmacies.  Look for shampoos containing blue or purple tints. These shampoos are designed to neutralize orange or brassy tones in blonde, silver, or white hair. Check the bottle to find out how often to use these shampoos and how long to leave them on before rinsing. Be sure to avoid shampoos containing sulfites, as these are chemicals that are known to further dry and damage hair. Because bleached hair is damaged to some degree, you want to take extra care to provide it with enough moisture. Use a conditioner especially for color-treated or blonde hair that’s labeled “hydrating” or “moisturizing.” You may also want to do a weekly deep-conditioning to maintain your hair’s health and keep it moisturized. Your ends may begin looking especially dry, split, or brittle after bleaching. You can use either a protein treatment or an oil like Argan or coconut oil to help...

Article in English: Break down individual tasks into steps. As you complete each step, check it off. This gives you direction for your work, and you’ll get a small boost of motivation each time you cross something off the list.  For example, if you need to write a paper, your task list might include making an outline, reading 3 sources, writing an introduction, or revising afterwards. Make sure to only focus on 1 task on a time. Multitasking will make you less productive in the long run. . Voices, honking cars, loud music, or the television can make it hard to stay focused. Find a place where you can work without being bothered, disturbed, or interrupted.  Some people do well somewhere with a little bit of ambient noise in the background, such as an office or a coffee shop. Others might need total silence. In this case, go to a library or work in a room alone at home. Work in a coffee shop or library. If you see other people around you focusing on their tasks, it can help you be more productive as well.  If you’re somewhere where you cannot control your environment, try using earplugs or headphones to block out noise. Ask your coworkers to leave you alone until you can finish a task. Listen to classical music or nature sounds to increase your focus.  If you find yourself distracted, get up and stretch or take a short walk to clear your mind. If you can, limit how much time you spend on a difficult, tedious, or boring task. Set a timer to encourage you to finish it before time is up. Once time is up, take a break or move onto a different task. For example, you might give yourself an hour to do research for an essay or respond to all of your emails within 30 minutes. . Sometimes the best way to get yourself back into the groove is to take a break from your task.

Article in English: Break the first name you wish to use into its separate syllables. Repeat with the second name you wish to use. Write out the syllable sets side-by-side, but make sure you know which syllable sets came from which name.  This is another method commonly used to form baby names from the names of both parents, but it can be used with any two names. It works best with names that are two or more syllables long, however.  Example: Consider the names “Christopher” and “Elizabeth.”  "Christopher" can be separated into the syllables "Chris," "to," and "pher." "Elizabeth" can be separated into "e," "liz," "a," and "beth." Grab a syllable set from the first name and a syllable set from the second name. Put both sets together to form a new, unique name. Repeat with the remaining syllable sets until you have formed every combination you could think of.  Note that the names you come up with using this method will be unique, and most probably won't be found in any baby book. You can form combinations using one syllable set from both names, creating a new name that is two syllables long, or you can use multiple syllable sets from both names to create a longer combination.  Example: Using the syllables found in “Christopher” and “Elizabeth,” some of the possible combinations you might come up with could include: Chrisabeth, Christobeth, Eliztopher, Liztopher, Elizapher, Lizapher, Bethtopher, Bethapher, Eto, Toapher Some of the possible names you come up with might be better than others. Comb through your list, removing any combinations that don't sound right and retaining the best options for further consideration.  While most of the names you will likely come up with won't be found in any baby books, it can still be a good idea to double-check and make sure. If any of the names you do create already exist, they may have a meaning you will or won't like. Repeat the name aloud several times to check how it rolls off the tongue. Names that sound clunky or hard to pronounce should be eliminated, as should any possible name you...

Article in English: Breakfast is probably the most important meal of the day in terms of energy. It gets your metabolism going and is probably the one meal that you can afford to splurge on. Breakfast primes you for the rest of the day. Researchers have even found that a little breakfast cereal in the morning is linked to lower amounts of the stress hormone cortisol. If you're worried about weight, don't skip breakfast. Have a complete breakfast, a smaller lunch, and perhaps a snack for dinner. Eating in the morning is far preferable to eating at night for people trying to lose weight. Eating three large meals spaced out five to six hours can take more energy to digest, causing a huge surge in blood sugar, followed by a fall off a cliff. The idea is to keep blood sugar levels stable all day instead of letting them rise and fall.  Eat foods that will sustain you. At every small meal, choose either carbs (preferably complex), protein, or healthful fats (omega-3, monounsaturated, etc.). These foods will help keep you from feeling hungry an hour or two after eating. Eat the same amount of food every three to four hours, or go for healthful snacks in between smaller meals. Examples of energizing but healthful snacks include: Nuts Olives Yogurt Fresh fruit Legumes Just because a little bit is good doesn't mean that a lot is better. Just ask the over-caffeinated person who has trouble getting to sleep at a reasonable hour at night because they've consumed more caffeine that is healthy or balanced. 200 to 300 milligrams of caffeine should be your upper limit — any more and you'll be bouncing off the walls at night and slugging out of bed in the morning. Doctors and scientists alike believe that drinking water is a key component to being healthier and feeling more energized during the day, although there is some disagreement about how much is needed.

Даже если вы не голодны, не забывайте о завтраке. Ешьте каждые 4 часа, чтобы избежать скачков уровня сахара в крови. Не следует слишком увлекаться кофеином после полудня. Пейте много воды в течение дня. Включите больше клетчатки в рацион вашего питания. Включите в ваш рацион много полезных жиров.


Article in English: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for a reason, and eating a good one can get you off to a strong start on your quest to stay up for multiple days. Make sure your breakfast has healthy foods like protein, whole grains, and fruit. Sugary cereals and large amounts of caffeine will only lead to a quick crash.  Bran cereals, citrus fruits, and eggs are great breakfast choices to keep up your energy up throughout a long day awake. Do your best to keep to a regular schedule, which includes breakfast in the morning for each of your days awake. This will help keep you on track for unavoidable regular parts of your day like going to work or class. Staying on schedule like this can also make it easier to get back to a regular schedule after finishing. You don't want to be mainlining espressos, but having regular caffeine breaks spaced throughout the day can keep you awake and alert. The recommended amount of caffeine for a single day is 400 milligrams, and one cup of coffee usually contains around 100 milligrams, so plan accordingly.  You might want your first cup after you first wake up, but some movement or a quick shower should be enough to move past your natural grogginess. Wait for your first cup until the middle of the day, or early afternoon, when you'll probably experience your first slump. You may need to ramp up your intake as you get into the next few days. By the end, you could be at a dose every 2-3 hours (which will get you well over 400 milligrams per day pretty quickly). That's fine, but make sure your portions remain at 100-150 milligrams. This will prevent you from overdosing on the caffeine, and avoiding the crash by taking too much.  This only works if you have a fairly normal caffeine intake in your daily life. If you are already consuming a lot of caffeine, the effects will be diminished, which will make it harder for you to use it to stay awake. Big, heavy meals will make you sluggish and more likely to nod off. Instead, choose small portions of healthy foods like whole grains, lean...

Article in English: Breaking up with someone by sending an email, text, or even a voicemail is all the rage, but it will not satisfy him, it is ineffective, and it is inconsiderate. If he is a great guy, he deserves an explanation.  Talking to him face-to-face will allow you to clearly explain your reasons for breaking up. Doing so will benefit you and him.  People can experience long-lasting negative psychological effects if they don’t receive enough information about why a significant other left them.   Nonverbal signals like touching him or smiling can let him know that you value him as a person, which would not come across electronically. This can not be an afterthought. Environment affects mood, ability to focus, and how we interpret what is said. Find a place where you both feel comfortable.  A lakefront park, for instance, might be a good idea since the waves can provide a calming distraction. Going to a cozy café might be a poor choice since strangers will sit within earshot and the romantic vibe might make you both uncomfortable. During the actual interaction, keep the importance of the situation in mind. This person is someone that you value, and you have something that you need to say, so convey the message clearly and fully.  Don’t allow your mind to wander. Thinking about getting the conversation over with will just distract you and disrupt the flow of the conversation. Don’t pull out your phone. Keep it in your pocket or purse and make sure that it's silent. Checking Instagram or your email can wait. Your nice guy doesn’t deserve false explanations. Take the high road. If he simply isn’t the one for you, tell him that, but be tactful.  Don’t be like Chandler from the show Friends who told Janice that he was moving to a foreign country. It would certainly be awkward running into him later on! Using the cliche that you’re just not in the right place for a relationship will come off as insincere, so avoid that one, too. Couples usually aren’t in alignment when it comes to whose fault it is that a certain argument got...

Article in English: Breaks in the surface of a glass, china or ceramic dish will allow food and drink to enter, leading to deeper, more difficult-to-clean stains. Sudden changes in heat can cause tiny fractures in the surface of ceramic dishes or china. You should avoid causing this by warming the dishes (for instance, by placing them near or on a warm oven) before serving hot food on them. This will prevent any food or drink remaining on the surface of the dish from setting in. Coffee and tea cups are especially important to clean immediately, since stains from these beverages tend to set in more quickly, and be much harder to remove. If you intend to store leftovers for a while, put the food into a container or dish you don't mind staining before putting it in the fridge. Washing and rinsing dishes in water that is too cold makes it more difficult to remove grease, or food particles from a dish during washing, potentially leading to staining. Using too much detergent in your automatic dishwasher can result in water marks. If your glasses frequently become water marked after washing, consider reducing the amount of detergent. If this doesn't work, consider trying a new detergent.

Article in English: Breastfed babies benefit from eating foods that are rich in iron and zinc. While white chicken meat is leaner, dark meat is a better choice for your baby because it’s higher in iron and antioxidants. Go for a dark meat cut such as chicken thighs or leg quarters.  Since most baby formulas are fortified with iron and other important micronutrients, it’s not as important for formula-fed babies to get the additional iron found in dark meat. Ask your pediatrician whether dark meat or white meat is a better choice for your baby.  Chicken thighs are also higher in fat compared to the breasts, which makes them more flavorful and easier to puree.  You will need 1-2 thighs to make about ½ cup (approximately 65 g) of cooked chicken. A single 6 oz (170 g) bone-in, skin-on thigh will yield about 3 ounces (85 g) of meat, but you’ll need more if you’re using small thighs. If possible, purchase chicken meat that is already boneless and skinless. If that’s not available, peel off the skin and cut the meat off the bones. Chicken skin does not puree well. If you leave it on, you may end up with large pieces of skin in your puree, which could cause your baby to choke. Before you cook the chicken, use a sharp knife to cut it into small cubes or dices. Put the chicken on a cutting board and slice it into strips about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) wide, then cut across the strips widthwise to make cubes.  Putting the chicken in your freezer for 15 minutes before you slice it will make it easier to cut.  Always take care when using a sharp knife. Keep your fingertips curled under when holding the chicken in place so you don’t accidentally cut them. Place your diced chicken in a pan and pour in enough water to completely cover the meat. Using broth will give the chicken a richer flavor, but it will also produce its own broth during the cooking process. Place the pan on your stove and turn the burner on to medium-high heat. Cover the pan and wait for the liquid to begin boiling. The amount of time this takes will vary depending on how much liquid...

Article in English: Breasts are made up of specialized milk-producing tissue separated into lobes, as well as fatty tissue that surrounds them. Blood vessels provide circulation to the breast. Connective tissue, made from a protein called collagen, helps hold them up. This may not result in dramatic change, as vitamins are linked to overall breast health and not growth specifically. However, consuming the right vitamins may help maintain and support your breasts at their current size.  Vitamin C helps collagen restore itself. Collagen helps hold your boobs up and give them shape, so restoring and strengthening it can help give your boobs more lift. Vitamin B6 helps your body make more red blood cells. Increasing the number of red blood cells will improve circulation to your whole body, including your breasts. Vitamin E is an important part of cholesterol control, and can help regulate the fat deposits everywhere in your body, including in your boobs. Studies show that women with low levels of estrogen (the female hormone) in proportion to testosterone (the male hormone) tend to have smaller boobs. While scientists are divided on whether foods containing phytoestrogens, or dietary estrogens, have much effect, many women claim to have experienced breast growth by supplementing their diet with these foods. Some foods containing phytoestrogens include:  Nuts and seeds with oils, like fennel, walnuts, cashews and sesame seeds Soy products like tofu, soy milk and soy nuts Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, oats and barley Legumes, also known as beans Certain vegetables like beets, collards, carrots and cucumbers Certain fruits like plums, raspberries, apples and pomegranates Some beverages like coffee, red or white wine, and black or green tea Gaining or losing a few pounds can make a big difference, depending your body type. Gaining weight will cause your body to store more fat in your breasts, while losing some may narrow your waist, making your boobs appear larger.  Gain weight if you have a thin build. Since boobs are made up...

Article in English: Breathe deeply and avoid panicking. Tell yourself that you need to think rationally to safely get out of your situation. If you must, count slowly to 10 in your head. Panicking may result in you making rash decisions that could get you hurt. Whatever you do, don’t go home if you suspect someone is following you. The person could use that opportunity to corner you while you’re trying to get into your home. In addition, they might come back later and try to break in. Ultimately, don’t go home until you’re completely sure that they’re no longer following you. Go to a public place instead of going home. Use the first safe opportunity to cross the street or turn. Doing this will make it harder for the person to follow you. Ultimately, you might get lucky and lose them around a building, in a crowd, or behind other cars. If you don’t get away, take another turn. Do this until you think you’ve lost them. If crossing streets and turning doesn’t lose the person, you might be able to lose the person by stopping several times at places the person wouldn’t expect you to stop. Avoid the route you’d normally take home and make your trip home as complicated as possible.  Stop to get a cup of coffee or a soft drink somewhere. Visit a friend who is working. Run an errand at a major retail store. By driving or walking in an area with a lot of people, you may be able to lose the person. In addition, the person may be less likely to hurt or rob you in front of other people.  Focus on streets with lots of pedestrian or car traffic. Consider walking into a food court, major retail store, or some sort of entertainment event. As a last resort, you may want to run or drive away quickly. By moving fast, you might succeed in losing them and getting away where you’ve previously failed. When planning your getaway:  Don’t box yourself in traffic. For example, at a stop light don’t pull all the way up so your bumper is close to the car in front of you. Leave yourself room to drive around the car in front of you. Avoid walking down any...

Article in English: Breathe deeply while the car is going over the bridge. Trust your friends and family to get you across. If you engage your mind in something completely unrelated, it can help to pass the time while you are driving over the bridge.  Recite a list of baby names.  Read license plate numbers backwards.  Count to one hundred. If you finish, start over again and repeat until you have crossed the bridge. Many long bridges have either free or paid bridge driving services for people with gephyrophobia. Prior to your trip, phone regional authorities to find out if the bridges you need to cross have services for people with your condition.  Pay twenty five dollars for someone to drive you over the Chesapeake Bay bridge.  Use the free driving service for the Mackinac Straits bridge in Michigan. Search a list of mental health support groups for groups that support specific phobias.  Talk to people online who share your fear. They can help. Talk to ex-sufferers, who eventually found their way out of the terror. Take their advice, and listen with care and time.  Tell someone about your fear. This can be a family member, relative, friend, or lover. They can all help. Without them, you might be stuck in the dark pit of gephyrophobia forever. They will give you all the strength needed to pull yourself together, and achieve the goal you have always longed to achieve.

Article in English: Breathing and vocal exercises are essential in warming up your voice before singing. Singing from your diaphragm is just one part of proper singing technique, and needs to be combined with other good practices. Anytime before you start singing for a long period of time, you should:  Take a long, deep breath and hold it for a few seconds then release it slowly. As you breathe in, raise your arms until your hands touch each other. Then put your arms down slowly while you breathe out. Do these 3-5 times. Start with the lowest note that you can sing and start getting higher until you reach the highest note you can sing, without straining. Don't rush. The slower, the better. This exercise helps to control your breathing and warm up your vocal chords for singing. When singing with your diaphragm, you are taking larger, fuller breaths. Doing this requires perfect posture. Keep your back very straight, your shoulders rolled back, and focus on keeping them still as you breathe to give your voice and your breath the best space possible.  Because your diaphragm is right below your rib cage, which encompasses your lungs, slouching pushes your ribs into your lungs and doesn't allow for the downward expansion necessary to get a good breath. If you're tense while maintaining the correct posture, let gravity help you out. Stand against a wall so the back of your head, shoulders, and bottom rest against the wall. Notice how free your diaphragm feels while you're singing! Look in a mirror while you force a yawn, looking and feeling the openness in your throat. This needs to happen while you sing, but as relaxed and loose as possible. To allow the air to flow more freely and naturally from your diaphragm through your body, you need to practice singing with an open throat. Pretend you've got a marshmallow the size of a baseball in your throat that's stretching it open. Practice singing runs of notes while your throat is open. It might take a while to get the notes as strong as you're used to, but it's an important part of...

Article in English: Brief encounters are better than long ones when you start interacting with your rat. Try to be happy, calm, and speak to the rat through the cage in a soft voice before even touching it. You can give the rat a treat through the cage, but don't expect it to take the treat out of your fingers. Simply make sure the rat can see you drop the treat into the cage. A semi-socialized rat will usually not take a treat from your hand right away, but offer it a piece of fruit or vegetable once a day. Put the treats in the cage for several days so your rat can become addicted to them. When the rat starts eating them readily, stop putting the treats in its cage and start only offering them by hand. From then on, they can only have a treat if they will take it from your hand. This is a big step in the bonding process. Open their cage door, announce that you are there, and make sure the rat is aware of you so that you don't startle it. Shake the treat container so that it associates that noise with getting a treat, and then give your rat the treat. Doing this will teach your rat to look forward to your visits, because it means getting treats! Teaching it to take a treat by hand will create a bond between you and the rat. Frequently offer up your empty hand for it to sniff and explore. This will help the rat get used to your smell and will help the animal to not assume you have a treat every time you put your hand in the cage. If your rat begins to assume this, it might start biting at your hand assuming it's food. This will help your rat move to a stage in the taming process when it is skittish yet exploring you freely and willing to eat out of your hand. At first, your rat probably won't like being petted. This is natural, as they are not used to it. You will need to gently force this physical affection on your rat in short, frequent intervals. With repeated short episodes of petting that are accompanied by treats, the rat will figure out that this can be a safe and wonderful experience.  The first time you pet your rat,...

Article in English: Bright colors and prints tend to look a little juvenile and will make your style significantly less chic. Black, white, grey, brown, or tan works best, and neutral colors are more versatile overall. If you do want a color, opt for a classic color, like red or blue, and choose a gem tone or a bold color without gravitating toward neon shades. Avoid styles with pompoms, beadwork, or zippers. A simple knit beanie looks classic and stylish, but styles with decorations or embellishments tend to look a little less sophisticated. If you do opt for embellishments, look for a subtle embellishment like decorative brown buttons. Beanies with elastic in them tend to tighten around your forehead. Aside from being uncomfortable and leaving a red line across your skin, a tight-fitting beanie tends to look a little less fashionable. For very casual events, like an outdoor football game, poofs or other adornments can be fun additions to your look. What matters most is that you feel comfortable and happy with your look.

Article in English: Bring 8 cups (1.9 L) water to a boil, preferably in a thick-bottomed pot to prevent burning. Add the peas and bring to a boil again. Stir frequently to prevent burning and sticking to the bottom.  If you simmered the ham, add the peas to the same pot, or substitute ham stock for some or all of the water. If you didn't prepare the ham in advance, add it directly to the same pot of water. Stir occasionally to make sure the peas don't burn. Heat oil in a large frying pan until it shimmers. Add onions and cook until softened and glossy but not browned, 3-5 minutes. Add the rest of the vegetables, the bay leaf, and any other herbs you're using. Sauté another 5 minutes. This will add more flavor to the soup. Recently purchased split peas may be ready in 45–60 minutes, depending on how mushy you like them. If they've been in storage for a while, they may take up to 90 minutes or even 2 hours. Aim to add the vegetables about 30 minutes before the peas are finished. (When in doubt, add them 20 minutes after the peas started simmering.)  Add the bay leaf and other herbs immediately, plus a pinch of salt. Despite kitchen rumors, the salt will not lengthen the cooking time. You don't need the salt if cooking the peas with a ham. If you like soft, mushy vegetables, add them immediately. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Serve with fresh bread, cornbread, or biscuits to make a simple winter meal or side dish. Sprinkle with grated carrot or croutons for extra flavor and crunch.

Article in English: Bring a flashlight and potentially a battery-operated smoke detector. These may seem like overkill, but they don't cost much or take up much room in your luggage. Organize, don't agonize. The flashlight could save your life if you have to quickly navigate a dark hallway or stairwell, and the smoke detector can alert you to fires while you're sleeping.  Check the batteries on each of these before you leave. In most parts of the world, smoke detectors are mandatory in hotel rooms, but when was the last time you tested one?  If you don't bring a smoke detector with you, at least make sure the one in your room works. If a fire starts, you'll want to get out of the building as quickly as possible. This can be difficult if your room is in the upper floors of a high-rise hotel. When you make your reservations, ask for a room on the ground floor or close to it. If you're not able to do this in the reservation process, request it when you check in. If you're in an earthquake area, taking this measure could be helpful. If a fire started in your home, you'd probably know the best way to get out and you'd probably be able to find your way there even in complete darkness. If you can't do this in your hotel, you're risking your life.  Ask for a map of the hotel at the front desk.  If you can't get a map at the front desk, you may be able to find one on the inside of your room's door, depending on where you're traveling. As soon as you get to your room, study the map and find the nearest exit.  Then find the alternate exits.  Walk the potential escape routes from your room all the way to the outside of the building, counting the number of doors between your room and the exits and noting any unusual features that may help you find your way.  Check for potential hazards or obstructions along the way and try to make sure the exit doors open.  Don't plan on using the elevator. If a blaze were to suddenly erupt, you can't leisurely test certain features of the building. Doing this ahead of time saves you time and reduces your...

Article in English: Bring a positive attitude to every situation. Negativity only hurts yourself and others. If you are negative, it has an impact on the way you treat others. Our mentality can influence the achievements of our days. If something doesn't turn your way, try to change what you can, smile, stay positive, and move on. The Motto of the Christophers says: "It is better to light a single candle than it is to curse the darkness." Be that light. When you see controversy, try to be the one who changes the subject by suggesting a solution. Don't state what you would do, but ask everyone to get involved. Try to do something nice for someone every day, even if it's something small. An act of kindness and generosity can have a great influence. Smile, hold the door open for someone, pay it forward at the drive through - just try to do something to make someone's day. Even reach out to people who have been cold or indifferent to you. Show someone who is rude to you the example of your kindness. Maybe people have always been rude to them. Be the person who shows them kindness instead. Every time you interact with the world you have an opportunity to do something good and positive. It does not have to be something big, but can be something like picking up some trash that someone threw down in a local park or in front of your neighbor's home. Be conscientious and find a way to give back to the world. Easy ways to make a positive change include:  Recycling Buying organic and locally grown food Being a responsible pet owner by cleaning up after your pets  Donating old items to shelters or charitable organizations instead of a thrift store  Putting items back in the store where you got them instead of leaving them Not taking the closest parking space so you leave it for someone who needs it more Don't be in a hurry in life.

Article in English: Bring a pot of water to boil. You'll want to use water that's as close as possible to 200 °F (93 °C) for brewing your coffee. Be sure to use clean, filtered water for the best taste.  If you're brewing a very dark roast, try to heat your water to 195 °F (91 °C) to prevent over-dissolving and bitterness. Either use a kettle that has a long thin spout or carefully transfer the water to a pouring kettle with a long thin spout. Take care not to burn yourself when handling boiling water. Unfold your Chemex paper filter so that it's shaped like a cone. Set it in the top part of the Chemex. Pour a little hot water over the filter so that it's completely soaked. Carefully pour out and discard the soaking liquid. This will help create a seal against the Chemex pot, can get rid of any paper taste from the filter, and will preheat your pot, so you don't end up with cold coffee. Ideally, you should weigh your ground coffee so you get an accurate measurement. Weigh out 42 grams or use 6 tablespoons of ground coffee for an 8-cup Chemex. Always use medium-coarse grounds. If you can, grind your beans just before using them. Fresher beans will make a better tasting pot of coffee. If you need to buy pre-ground coffee, just take care to store it in an air-tight container out of direct sunlight and use it within a week. Place the grounds in the pre-moistened filter that should still be in the top of your Chemex. Set the Chemex on top of a digital scale. You should also have a digital timer or clock ready before you start brewing. Make sure to zero out the scale once the prepared Chemex is on it. This will help you accurately measure out the water. Start the digital timer or look at the clock to keep track of when you start brewing. Slowly pour about 2/3 of a cup or 150 grams of the hot water over the grounds in the filter. Gently stir the grounds with a spoon or chopstick. Stirring can break up any clumps of coffee grounds and make sure the grounds are completely saturated. Once your grounds are saturated, wait around 45...

Article in English: Bring a pot of water to boiling using the stove or microwave while you prepare the wax. The water doesn't need to be at a rolling boil, just hot enough to melt the wax. Imagine you were heating up water for a cup of tea that you wanted to drink very soon.  Alternatively, you could heat the jar while you're doing the dishes. Run some water and get it as hot as you can stand, then soak the jar for a while at the bottom of the sink. Another option is to heat the wax on the jar using a hair dryer. Turn the hair dryer on medium and blow the hot air over the wax until it melts.  If you have multiple jars to remove wax from, try placing them into the oven at 180 °F (82 °C). Place the jars on a foil lined baking sheet and put them into the oven for about 15 minutes to melt the wax. Allow the water and wax mixture to cool off for between 15 and 20 minutes. During this time period, the wax will begin to harden slightly on the surface of the water, making it easy to remove.

Article in English: Bring a scant 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in basmati rice. If desired, add 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of butter and 1 teaspoon salt for extra flavor and a fluffier texture. Cover with a firm lid. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until all water is absorbed.  If you have leftover rice, you can skip this step! Basmati rice is traditional but you can use any type of long-grain rice. Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds. You'll know the oil is hot when it starts to glisten and slide easily around the pan Sauté on medium-heat for 1 minute. Add garlic and onion if using. Sauté on a medium-heat for 30 seconds. Mix well. Cook on medium-heat for 1-2 minutes while stirring constantly.  Add asafoetida if using. Do not use more than directed as it has a strong scent and can make the rice bitter. It can, however, really enhance the dish's flavor when used properly.  Add roasted peanuts or cashews (or both) if using. Roast the nuts beforehand in a small frying pan or even in your oven on low heat so that they are crisp and browned. You'll known that they're done when they give off a strong, nutty smell. Be careful not to burn them as nuts roast quickly! Mix well and cook on medium-heat for 1-2 minutes while stirring occasionally.  Adding the lemon juice at the end of the cooking process means that the flavor won't cook off and that your dish will have a nice acidity and tanginess to it. Keep in mind that you'll notice the tanginess if you eat the dish immediately. Later on, the zing of the lemon will get absorbed and the dish will have a vibrant, though more balanced, lemon flavour.  You can also directly squeeze the lemon over the cooked rice, as some Indian chefs prefer. This will help the various flavors integrate together. Then serve hot. Your lemon rice is ready to eat! This dish serves about 4 people.

Article in English: Bring the vehicle into a well-ventilated area, such as a driveway, and put on a pair of gloves to protect your hands. Pour some paint thinner into a container. Get 2 or 3 paper towels completely damp. The trick is to get the paper towels as flat as possible. Treating the top side of the car is easy, but the ends require some work. Hold the towels in place as much as possible by clipping them to the frame with plastic clips. Watch the paper towels for any signs of change. Look for spots the same color as the Plasti Dip to form on the paper towel after a few minutes. When this happens, the Plasti Dip is soft enough to be removed. Carefully lift the paper towels off of the car. To speed up the removal process, lay the towels on other spots still covered in Plasti Dip. If the towels won’t stick, dampen them in more paint thinner. Go back to the spot you soaked with paint thinner earlier. Hold the drywall scraper flat against the car’s surface. Slide the scraper under the Plasti Dip to remove it. Wipe the gooey mess off the scraper with a clean paper towel or trash bag. Soak an extra paper towel in paint thinner. Use it to scrub the first area that had the paper towels over it. Scrubbing will remove any small Plasti Dip fragments and also help soften any large pieces left over. Continue soaking paper towels, scraping, and scrubbing to remove all the Plasti Dip. You may have to treat the same area a few times to completely clean away all the Plasti Dip. It’s tedious work, but it is a safe way to remove the Plasti Dip from a delicate area like the car’s body. The paint thinner should only affect the Plasti Dip, but to be sure, wash the car as soon as possible. Again, use a car-safe soap and rinse it off when you’re finished. Your car should be back to its original condition.

Повторите обработку растворителем. Помойте авто водой и моющим средством.


Article in English: Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Turn the heat off once the water boils. You only need to boil the water if you plan on using a yeast nutrient, and you only need to use a yeast nutrient if you do not plan to use a starter. A starter essentially serves the same purpose as the yeast nutrient, so you only need to use one or the other. Stir the yeast nutrient into the hot water until dissolved. Let the water cool until it reaches a range between 80 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit (27 and 38 degrees Celsius). Note that it is perfectly normal for the mixture to smell bad after you add the yeast nutrient. If desired, stir the pectic enzyme into the mixture once it drops to room temperature.  Pectic enzyme is used to clear cloudiness. If using a starter instead of the yeast nutrient, combine the pectic enzyme with the starter just before adding the starter to the fermenter. Make sure that the starter is at room temperature. Pour your juice into the fermenter if it is not already inside. Add the nutrient mixture or starter to the juice and stir slightly to combine.  A professional-grade fermenter may work best, but you could use five 1-gallon (4-L) empty milk jugs for a cheaper option. Make sure to leave at least 2 inches (5 cm) of empty headspace at the top of the fermenter. The sugar is not necessary, but adding sugar to the juice before you ferment it will create a cider with a higher alcohol content. Moreover, hard cider with sugar in it will continue to improve the longer it ages. Gently stir any remaining yeast into your cider. Gases will build up inside the container as the cider ferments, but a plastic airlock will permit these gasses to escape while sealing off the inside of the container.  Fit the airlock into the top of the fermenter. Note that instead of an airlock, you could use a piece of plastic wrap stretched over the top of the fermenter and held in place with a rubber band. This method does not work quite as well, but is usually effective. Place the cider out of direct...

Article in English: Bring your lift knee up straight and point your toe as you push off, bringing it to the notch at the top of the knee on your spinning leg. This should somewhat resemble the 'jackknife' dive position. To carry your momentum around, you need to match the position of your spin arm, about chest-height, like you are holding a small beach ball to your stomach. Strengthen the upper thigh, ankle, and knee of your spin leg to create a rock solid pole on which to spin. Make a tiptoe shape with your spin foot, keeping your spin toes relaxed and responsive for fine tuning your balance during the spin. Your spin point is the ball of your spin foot, which is the thick pad directly behind your toes. Do not spin directly on your toes. This is impossible and incredibly painful, no matter how convincing good ballet dancers look. Imagine all your weight forming a straight pole, from the ball of your spin foot up through your spin leg, through the center of your torso and out the top of your head. Just as a toy top has more of its weight at the top, so should your body. It's important to think "up" instead of focusing on the spinning motion. Your momentum should work to carry you around, and focusing on staying as straight as possible and maintaining the proper form will help you balance. When you are heading on your second turn whip your head around, spotting twice. As you slow, return your lift leg to the ground and relax both arms out to your side at mid chest height to stop completely. Gently bring your feet back to the ground and let your momentum and weight slow you down naturally, coming to the ground. The biggest difference between the double spin and the single spin is just the amount of force that you put on the turning step as you push off. It'll take some practice before you're able to do two, but stick with it and practice your spotting, and you'll get the hang of it eventually.

Article in English: Bringing the meat to room temperature will ensure that it cooks evenly. If you put it in the oven cold, you may end up with an undercooked interior and burned exterior.  Lamb is so tender that it doesn't need to be marinated. You can follow a recipe to marinate the lamb, but it's easier to complement the meat's flavor with a simple rub. First, rub olive oil and a few tablespoons of lemon juice all over the lamb. Then, sprinkle the leg with salt, pepper and 3 tablespoons or so of your favorite spices. Try the following, either alone or in combination:  Crushed rosemary Dried thyme Dried sage Minced garlic Use a pan that's just slightly larger than the leg. Roasting for the first 30 minutes at a high heat will give the lamb a nice sear. Turn it down to 350 °F (177 °C) for the remainder of the roasting time. Roast for another 30 minutes to an hour or more, depending on your preferred level of doneness. No matter what, use a meat thermometer to check the meat's temperature after about an hour to see how the lamb is progressing. Here are the general guidelines for roasting times: roast until the internal temperature of the meat is 125 °F (52 °C), which will require about 15 minutes per pound.   Medium-rare meat: roast until the internal temperature of the meat is 130 °F (54 °C), which will require about 20 minutes per pound.  Medium meat: roast until the internal temperature of the meat is 135 °F (57 °C), which will require about 25 minutes per pound.  Well done meat: roast until the internal temperature of the meat is 155 °F (68 °C), which will require about 30 minutes per pound.

Article in English: Bringing up sex ahead of time can help you and the person you're into become more comfortable with each other. If you're seeing someone, ask them about the right time to take things to the next level, how they feel about sex, and about their likes and dislikes.  Try asking, “When do you think is the right time for couples to start having sex? We should have a talk about when the right time for us will be.” If you're not dating the person you're into, you might not have the opportunity to have a conversation in advance. Before going all the way, be sure to get clear consent and discuss safe sex options. Make sure you and your potential partner have privacy when you ask them if they're interested. Help them feel safe and comfortable, and try to read their body language to ensure they feel at ease.  You don't necessarily have to talk about sex alone in a room with the door closed. You might be on a date at a restaurant or other public place when you bring up having sex. Be mindful of those around you. Don't ask your partner about sex when lots of people are within earshot. You don't want to put them on the spot or embarrass them. Be straight-forward, warm, and polite, and don't try to put on an act or drop cheesy pick up lines. Just be yourself and tell the person you're into how you feel. Let them know you find them attractive, but make sure any compliments you offer are sincere.  Try saying, “When we kiss, I feel like electricity's running through my body. I don't mean to put on any pressure or anything, but I'd really like to take things to the next level.” Be courteous and respectful. Don't go into a vivid description of what you want to do with them. If they aren't ready for sex, this could put them off. Talking about sex doesn't have to be super serious. It's one thing if you're talking about a serious topic, like a negative sexual experience or an STI (sexually transmitted infection). However, if you're talking about what turns you on or telling someone you want to have sex,  try to be playful or joke...

Article in English: Brown Banded cockroaches grow to be about 5/8ths of an inch long. They are one of the smallest varieties of cockroaches. To put that size in perspective, a Brown Banded cockroach is a little bit smaller than the size of an American penny (not including the antennae of course). Contrary to what you might think, the Brown Banded cockroach is actually named for a yellow band that can be found on the bug. Look for two bands--there should be a very thick one at the bottom of the abdomen, and a thinner band running across the mid-abdomen area. Brown Banded cockroaches generally only live in hotter, drier climates. If you are having a cockroach problem but live in a humid, mid or low temperature climate, you are probably dealing with another kind of cockroach. Brown Banded cockroaches detest the water--as such, they are not often found near any sort of water source. If you have found a cockroach living near your sink or toilet, it is more than likely not a Brown Banded cockroach. Unlike the German cockroach, the Brown Banded cockroach will fly off if disturbed. If you notice a small cockroach flying through the air, chances are it is a Brown Banded cockroach.

Article in English: Brown leaf tips are most often a watering issue, but both over- and under-watering can cause them. Hold the plant over the sink, grab the stem and jiggle it a bit, and pull the plant and root ball from the pot. This will make it easier to diagnose under- or over-watering.  If the soil crumbles away instead of holding together in a clump, you’re under-watering. If water drips from the soil, or if the roots look moldy at the ends, you’re over-watering. If you find water-logged soil and roots when you pull the plant from its pot, you can try leaving it out of the pot for several hours, then putting it back once things dry out a bit. However, it’s often better to scrape some of the water-logged soil away from the root ball, then re-pot the plant along with some fresh potting soil.  If the tips of the roots look rotted or dead, you can snip them off with scissors. Instead of giving the plant less water at a time on the same schedule, water the plant fully but less frequently. For instance, if you’re currently saturating the soil with water every 2 days, don’t switch to just moistening the soil every two days. Instead, saturate the soil every 4 days. After you've identified under-watering as the problem, put the plant back in its pot and give it a thorough watering. Every time you water the plant, you want to see water running out of the drain holes in the bottom of the pot. If this isn’t happening, you’re not giving the plant enough water.  Place a drain pan under the pot to catch the excess water, or water the plant over the sink. Keep watering the plant on the same schedule (for instance, every other day), but give it more water each time. Pull it from the pot again in a week (on a non-watering day) and check if the soil is dry. If so, start watering the plant more frequently (e.g., daily) as well as more fully. In addition to frequent watering, tropical plants need humidity from the surrounding air. Placing the pot in a shallow bowl filled with rocks and water can help increase the humidity around the plant. If...

Article in English: Browse a book on Shamanic practices and beliefs. In ancient societies, Shamans would travel into the spirit world to bring back answers. While you visit the bookstore, keep your eyes and heart open. You have already started your Shamanistic journey. This is your first Shamanistic mission. What knowledge can you bring back?  Did you learn anything unexpected? Did an interesting person speak to you? Did you notice anything out of the ordinary? If this bookstore appears in a upcoming dream, enter it. The Shaman believes that the Universe is alive, conscious, and connected; that all objects, even inanimate ones, contain a spirit or soul. Begin to notice proof of these beliefs in your daily life. Does your coffee grinder seem to have a soul? Does the butterfly on your window remind you of someone? Do you feel connected to the plant that needs water in your office? Acknowledge these feelings and connections. This beings may begin to visit you in your dreams.  Each day, acknowledge the “beingness” of animals and objects by greeting them. Say (silently or better yet, out loud) “Hello, Coffee Grinder. Thank you for making my morning a bit better today." As you become comfortable finding (and believing in) this proof during the day, it will be easier to continue this practice as you sleep. Almost nothing in life is “just a coincidence.” Attending to synchronicity in our waking lives opens us up to messages from the Universe. When you encounter synchronicity, that is the Universe's way of saying that you are on the right track. Synchronicities are often clues for what to look for or where to go during a dream. Examples of synchronicity include:  Seeing the same person as a variety of unrelated locations. Speaking a word out loud at the exact same time as someone else. When you experience a synchronistic moment, don't ignore it. Stop and notice it. Write it down. Pay specific attention to synchronicities that cross the threshold between waking and dream. (Did you see a person in real life and then in a dream? Try to talk...

Article in English: Bruises go through a cycle of trauma and healing.  Each part of this cycle reflects different colors and intensity.  A new bruise is dark red due to the blood pooling under the skin. Next the bruise begins to loose iron and purples. As the bruise begins to heal, it will green around the edges. Before the bruise fades, it will develop yellow spreading across the skin. Lastly, the bruise fades back into regular skin color. There are several brands of stage makeup which range from inexpensive Halloween makeup to professional stage makeup.  The most popular brand of makeup used for theater is Ben Nye.  Mehron and Ben Nye both offer a product called a “Bruise Wheel.” The colors you will want for your bruise are red, purple, yellow, green, and blue. Choose darker, duller tones like maroon, mustard and olive.

Article in English: Brush or spray the primer onto the prepped steel surface. Work in small sections, aiming for even coverage. Make sure there are no gaps or thin spots that might cause an issue later on when it comes time to paint.  For maximum hold and durability, choose a multipurpose latex primer that’s designed for exterior use. If the steel is destined for rough industrial or outdoor conditions, consider upgrading to a high-performance epoxy primer. Epoxy primers offer a semi-permanent hold, and are resistant to scratching, chipping, and peeling. This may take anywhere from 2-6 hours, depending on the product used. To test whether the primer is ready to accept paint, run the pad of your finger over the surface. If it feels tacky, it needs to dry a little longer. Applying paint to wet primer will hinder its ability to stick. In most cases, a standard latex paint formulated for exterior use will get the job done. These are readily available at most home improvement centers and hardware stores. Avoid using alkyd-based paints (such as spray paint) on galvanized steel.  For the most dependable results, look for paints that are formulated specifically to bond to galvanized steel. The enamels in alkyd paints can react with the slick zinc finish on a galvanized steel surface, leading to poor adhesion and peeling. Spread the paint across the surface with long, linear strokes. Use the tip of your brush to dab the paint into grooves, creases, and textured areas. Check to make sure there are no gaps or missed spots before moving on. A roller may come in handy for applying paint to broad surfaces like siding and roof panels. It will typically take 3-4 hours before the surface is ready to accept another coat. In the meantime, avoid handling the fresh paint. Doing so may leave behind smudges or creases in the completed finish. Expect drying times to be longer in warm, humid conditions. Two coats will usually be enough for the majority of projects. Apply the topcoat the same way you did the first. Take your time to ensure that there are...

Article in English: Brush small, inch sized circles in a clockwise motion until the hair starts to form into balls. This should only take about a minute or two. Once a ball of hair forms, move onto another section of the hair to continue making dreadlocks throughout the hair.  The brushing method works best for coarse hair that's 3/4" to 2.5" (1.905 cm - 6.35 cm) long. You can also use a sponge brush, which is made specifically to create dreads and curls in someone's hair.  Using a sponge brush often works better on short hair than using a bristle brush. Once all the hair is spun into small balls, you should apply a dread wax or cream to moisturize them and hold them in place. Put a dab of cream into your hand and rub it into each of the dreads. Popular brands of dread wax include Jamaican Mango & Lime, Doo Gro, and Africa's Best. You can help hold down the dreads with elastic bands or small hair clips. Apply the elastic band under the ball, near the root of the hair. Make sure not to apply the bands too tightly or it can cause discomfort to the person getting the dreads. If the texture of your hair is medium to coarse, you can skip this step. Tightly coiled hair will not unravel. Use a hair dryer to dry your locks completely. Touch them and make sure that they are no longer wet, but remain moisturized by your wax. Once they've been allowed to dry and set, you can remove your hair clips or elastic bands.  If you have access to a hooded dryer, use it instead of a hair dryer, as it will work more effectively. Don't sleep or play with your hair for three hours or the dreads may come loose.

Article in English: Brush the mixture over the chicken pieces. Turn around gently to coat in buttermilk. Pour in the oil to a depth of 1 centimeter (0.39 in) (1/2") and heat it. Cook the bacon until crisp. Lift the bacon out and leave to cool. Once it has cooled enough to handle, cut into small pieces. Coat the buttermilk covered chicken with the bacon and breadcrumb mixture. Again, the depth of oil should be 1 centimeter (0.39 in) (1/2"). Heat gently. It is important that the cooking oil temperature is not too hot because this can cause the outside to crisp before the inside is cooked. If you notice that the oil starts to smoke, it's too hot. Add a little more oil and reduce the temperature immediately. Fry for about 10 minutes. Turn once during the frying time. The amount of time needed for cooking will depend on the thickness of the pieces; a golden brown color is a good indication that the chicken is cooked. Sprinkle with salt. Keep fried pieces warm in the oven until all are completed before serving.

Article in English: Brushing and flossing every day and after meals can maintain the health of your teeth, restorations, and gums. A clean environment may help you avoid further enamel erosion as well as unsightly stains.  Make sure to brush and floss after meals if you can. If you have food stuck in your teeth, it promotes an environment that is rife for further damage to your enamel. If you don't have a toothbrush, chewing a piece of gum can help.  Avoid brushing your teeth within 30 minutes of eating any acidic food or drink, as acid can weaken enamel and brushing too soon can then damage the enamel. Sugary and acidic foods and beverages may contribute to enamel erosion, and controlling your intake of them can lead to better oral health. Brushing your teeth after consuming these foods may help prevent enamel erosion.  Eat a healthy and well-balanced diet of lean protein, fruits and vegetables, and legumes can help with your overall well-being, including oral health.  Even some healthy foods are acidic, including citrus fruits. Continue eating these, but limit how much you consume and consider brushing your teeth when you're done. Examples of sugary and acidic foods and beverages to avoid are soft drinks, sweets, candies, and wine. Mouthwashes and toothpastes that contain alcohol can decrease the durability of enamel or even stain it. Use non-alcohol colored toothpaste or mouthwashes to avoid these problems. You can find toothpastes and mouthwashes without alcohol at most grocery and drug stores or online retailers. Most tap water in the United States is treated with fluoride to help decrease tooth decay and strengthen enamel. Unless bottled water specifically states that it contains fluoride, the processes of distilling, filtering, and reverse osmosis remove any naturally occurring fluoride from the water. In fact increased consumption of bottled water may be connected to a resurgence of cavities in children. Grabbing bottled water instead of drinking from the tap may contribute to any loss of tooth enamel you may experience....
