Article in English: You can look it up online or ask a sales associate what it will be.  While states usually set a statewide sales tax, some municipalities add their own taxes on top of that. This means that the sales tax rate can vary drastically when moving between different cities or counties. Sales tax is not charged on all items you buy. Check online to see what is, and is not, taxed in your area. Take the percent number and imagine a decimal point after it.  Now move that decimal point two spaces to the left, giving you the decimal equivalent of the sales tax percentage.  For example, if the sales tax rate is 8%, the decimal figure will be .08. This calculation will give you the amount of tax that will be charged for your purchase. For example, if the item you want to buy is $20, multiply 20 times .08 and you get 1.6.  That means you will have to pay $1.60 in sales tax. This will give you the total price you will have to pay at the register. Using our same example once again, if you will be charged $1.60 on your $20 item, simply add 1.6 to 20, for a total of $21.60.

Article in English: You can maintain a sound much more clearly and protect your throat much better if you make sure that your throat is moist before you begin. Lukewarm and warm beverages tend to be better for your throat than cold fluids.  Warm tea with honey is one of the best options, but you could also settle for lukewarm water or room temperature juice. Avoid cold drinks. Stay away from drinks containing caffeine or alcohol, since these will only dry out your throat more. Form your mouth as though you intend to make the long "eee" sound. You do not need to actually make the sound, though.  The “ee” sound is the same as the “ee” in “feet.” Exhale gently before the next part. This screaming technique produces sound on the inhale, so your lungs need to be emptied out for you to make it. Close your throat so that only a small gap exists for you to push air through. Essentially, you should try to make this gap as small as you possibly can while still producing a sound from it. Move your tongue close to the roof of your mouth as you do this, but do not let it touch the roof. Moving your tongue in this manner should make it easier to tightly narrow your airway. Put a great deal of energy into the inhale, activating your vocal chords as you go. You should end up producing in inhale scream or pterodactyl scream. Note that, as with the basic scream method outlined here, this method will only produce a single scream within the course of a song. You will not be able to use it to sing the lyrics of an entire song. You will probably need to practice for several weeks at a consistent yet gradual pace before you can perform this scream correctly.  Note that this technique can be more difficult to master than a basic scream, and not everyone will be able to master it. If you still cannot get the hang of it after several weeks, you would be better off sticking with a more traditional scream. An inhaled scream like this should not cause your throat to get sore like an exhaled scream will, but it is still a good idea to take breaks in between...

Article in English: You can maintain your usual hair washing routine as far as frequency is concerned, but to maintain the integrity of your twists, you should spray your scalp with diluted shampoo from a spray bottle. Rinse using a spray bottle of water.  Fill one-eighth of the spray bottle with shampoo and the rest with water. Shake well to combine before use. Your main attention should be on the scalp rather than on the hair itself. It is far better to clean your hair using spray bottles than to rinse the Marley twists under running water. Once soaked, the twists are very heavy. They can also take about two days to dry from a soaked state.  Try to wash your scalp in this manner once a week. If you normally need to wash your hair more frequently than this, try using diluted shampoo once a week and dry shampoo for the in-between washings. At night, spray the scalp with water and follow by rubbing in a little oil, such as olive oil or coconut oil. Taking these steps can prevent both your scalp and hair from drying out too severely.  If your scalp is especially dry, you may need to do this every night. If your hair and scalp are fairly normal, though, two to three times each week will usually be enough. Aside from olive oil and coconut oil, peppermint oil and Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO) are also good options. If your hair is especially frizzy, you can carefully apply a little mousse or stay-in conditioner over edges. Only do this on an “as needed” basis, though. Avoid using creamy conditioners since these can leave unsightly and inconvenient build-up in your twists. Liquid leave-in conditioners are your best bet if you opt for a conditioner. To keep your hairstyle safe even at night, pull the twists back into a loose ponytail or bun and cover them with a silk or satin scarf.  You can provide your twists with additional protection by placing a satin cap over them or by sleeping on a satin pillow. On average, Marley twists that are well cared for can last for two to four weeks. At that point, the twists will begin to look too...

Article in English: You can major in anything and get into Harvard law, though you’d do best to avoid criminal justice, which is not considered an academically rigorous major. The key is to pick a subject that is rigorous, that you enjoy, and in which you can make good grades. If you want to study chemistry, go for it, but know that you will need to supplement your major with electives that demonstrate your reading, research, and writing skills. Here are some common “pre-law” majors.   History – Teaches strong reading, research, and writing skills, as well as a basic knowledge of U.S. laws and politics.   Philosophy – Teaches logic, critical analysis, close reading, and writing, and is considered a very rigorous major.   Economics – Teaches analysis and logical thinking. A senior thesis that displays research and writing skills will boost your application. Economics is considered preferable to business.   Political Science – Teaches strong reading and presentation skills, as well as a basic knowledge of the U.S. legal system. However, political science is considered a less rigorous major, so you will need a very good GPA. If possible, do a senior thesis to supplement your courses and show strong research and writing skills.   English – Shows strong reading and writing skills, but you will need to supplement your course work with research heavy courses.  Science majors – The difficulty of these majors makes a high GPA even more impressive. That said, you will need to take electives to show you are strong in reading, writing, and research. Also, your application will be stronger if you say you are planning on being a patent or intellectual property lawyer.   Art/Music/Film – Harvard law actually likes students with less traditional backgrounds, though to get in with a major in the arts you will need a great GPA, supplemental course work in fields like history, economics, or philosophy, and preferable a senior thesis. Harvard law accepts students from a wide variety of majors, but to maximize your chances of getting in and...

Article in English: You can make Mickey Mouse pancakes from basically any normal pancake batter. It doesn't matter whether you make it from scratch or use a mix (Bisquick, Krusteaz, etc.) For a few good pancake recipes, visit our guide to making pancake batter. This page includes a recipe for gluten-free pancakes. Take a generous helping of butter (about one or two tablespoons should be enough) and place it in the pan. Warm the pan over medium heat on the stove. The butter should quickly melt. Spread it around the pan so that the bottom is evenly-coated.  Wider pans are best for this job — remember that you'll have to have enough room for Mickey's giant ears. If you don't want to use butter, try margarine or a neutral-flavored cooking oil (like vegetable or canola oil). When the pan is hot enough that a drop of water will sizzle and "dance" as soon as it touches the pan, you're ready to cook. Gather a little batter in a cup or spoon and pour it onto the pan. About 1/4 cup of batter will be enough for a medium-sized pancake. Pour the batter in a single pile and let it gradually widen into a flat circle. Try to leave room on the pan on one side of the pancake for Mickey's ears. Drop two more pancakes about an inch away from the head and let them spread out so that they touch the first one. These are Mickey Mouse's famous ears! You want them to be on the same side of the head, but with an inch or two of space between them. They should touch the head, but they shouldn't touch each other. The ears should be a little smaller than the first one. Mickey has big ears, but they aren't bigger than his head. Cook until bubbles start to form, pop, and stay open on the surface of the batter. Slip a stiff wood or metal spatula under the edge of the pancake and take a peek at the underside. If it looks golden-brown, you're ready to flip. If it's still light-colored, give it an extra minute or two. The thicker your pancake is, the longer it will take to reach this "flippable" point. Slide the spatula under the center of the head. If your spatula...

Article in English: You can make a makeshift macadamia nutcracker with a vise grip, an iron bar to set the nut against, and a flat hammer.  Vise grips are common tools available at any hardware store. If you love macadamia nuts and plan to shell them often, it's worth buying a vise grip for this specific purpose (though you'll probably find other uses for it as well). Be sure the hammer has a flat end, rather than a round one. You'll need to exert force evenly on the nutshells. If you don't have an iron bar, any tough, metal surface will do. Other hard surfaces like marble, glass, concrete or wood could get damaged by the pounding, so make sure you're working over metal. Lie it up so that the seam of the nut is facing upward, rather than against the inside of the vise. Set the vise to grip it tightly. Hold the vise handles tightly and make sure you've got a good grip, since you don't want the nut to slip when you bring the hammer down. Try to hit it square on the seam so that it cracks cleanly. Let the hammer bounce back toward you as the nut cracks open.  You may have to try this a couple of times before you learn exactly how much force to exert. Letting the hammer bounce or pull back slightly is important, since it keeps the hammer from smashing the nut inside. The shell will fall away, and the intact nut is now ready to be popped into your mouth or  used in a recipe.

Article in English: You can make a natural, pregnancy-friendly bronzer from cocoa, cinnamon and cornstarch. Mix these ingredients until you get the desired shade. Store the natural bronzer in an old bronzer container. Apply it with a brush like a regular bronzer. Mix cocoa powder and coconut oil, or cocoa butter and the same amount of coconut oil. Then apply the mixture to your eyes using a brush or the end of an old eyeliner pencil. You can make your own lip gloss to avoid using products that may contain harmful ingredients. Melt ¼ cup of beeswax, remove from heat and add ¼ cup of castor oil and 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Color with beet juice and store the mixture in the jar. Mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil and one egg, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar in the blender. You can use this like ordinary shampoo and discard leftovers. Mix 4 tablespoons of baking soda with 4 tablespoons of cornstarch. Stir in 6 tablespoons of coconut oil and some essential oil (the kind of essential depends on the fragrances you like). Store this mixture in an old deodorant bottle or applicator.

Article in English: You can make a paper revision timetable and put it up behind your desk. Get some paper and some different coloured pens. A ruler might help, too, if you want to make a table. Make a column for each day of the week. For each day, jot down the subjects you will focus on and the specific topics you plan to study. You can also download revision timetables and then insert your own subjects and times. There are a variety of mobile applications that can be used to schedule your revisions timetable. These applications work on a variety of platforms. For instance, you may find one of the following applications helpful:  If you use an Android device, you may find Timetable helpful. It will mute your phone during your study sessions and allow you to block your time effectively. You can make a personalized study plan with the SQA My Study Plan application. You can store your timetable on the cloud and access it across a range of devices with the My Study Life application. At the end of each week leading up to exams, reflect on what worked and what didn’t work in your revision timetable. Consider how you could spend your time more effectively, and then make the revision timetable for your upcoming week. For instance, if your study week starts on a Monday, you might want to start your weekly timetable on the Sunday night or Monday morning. You should think strategically about the subjects on your list. You should make more time for the relatively more difficult subjects or the ones you have a hard time with. You should also make more time for subjects that you need to achieve a particular grade on, in order to proceed with your professional or life goals. Do the big projects first, since they will require the most effort and concentration. By studying the big projects or subjects first, you will avoid the situation of not having sufficient time down the road. Remember to integrate some flexibility in your schedule. You may need to go back to the big subjects later in your revision timetable, depending on how it goes the...

Article in English: You can make a single timetable that will stay the same each week. Or, you can build a custom one for each week, that changes depending on the specifics of that week. You would build all of your custom timetables at the same time.  For a custom weekly timetable, start in reverse. Start with big assignments or final exams and work backwards. Your study schedule will need to change depending on what big assignments are coming up.  Don’t forget to fill in everything you brainstormed earlier in the process. You should do this before you put in study times. This includes all regular commitments like a sport practice. You need to do this first so you know where you can put your study times. If you’re making a custom weekly timetable, don’t forget to include exceptions like birthdays and holidays. Aim for blocks of study time that are fairly long, such as 2–4 hours at a time. This will help you get into the groove of studying and help you to be more productive with your time.  Just because you don’t have a large chunk of time doesn’t mean you can’t schedule a study period, however. If you feel it will be beneficial to schedule in 45 minutes here or an hour there, by all means, do so. You’re going to want to schedule more time for more difficult classes. Break are essential to your success. You’re not a robot, so you can’t work non-stop for hours on end. You’ll do better overall if you give yourself regular breaks from the work. Many experts recommend that you work for 45 minutes every hour, and then break for 15 minutes. Everyone is different, though, so experiment to find what works best for you. Remember how you gathered all your of assignments and syllabi? Now is the time to put them to use. You can schedule blocks of time for particular classes and also write in assignments and give yourself chunks of time to work on those.  Things will change over time, of course, and something you planned for two months ago may not apply anymore. But don’t let that stop you. Look at this as a helpful guide, something to keep...

Article in English: You can make both a paper and a fabric scroll look old and ancient. The choice depends on what you are doing with the scroll. For example, party invitations would be best as paper scrolls, but hanging art and gifts might be better as fabric scrolls. The process of making the scroll look old should be done prior to assembling the scroll. Paint, draw, or print your artwork on the scroll.  When you make the paper or fabric look old, some colors of your artwork may change. The best artwork color to use is black if you want an authentic antique look. Use a foam paintbrush to paint brewed black coffee or tea onto the fabric or paper. Coffee will be much darker than tea.  Dip the paintbrush in the coffee or tea and gently squeeze some excess out. Paint the coffee or tea all over. Use different stroke angles and different levels of saturation. Try not to make it uniform. Having some areas darker than others is good for achieving an antiquated look. A few steps can finish the antique look on your paper or fabric.  For paper, after putting the coffee on, you can put the paper in the oven at the lowest setting for about 5 minutes, or until it is dry. You can also carefully burn the edges of the paper by holding a candle up to the edge of the paper and then blowing it out before it burns too far in. Repeat this process around the perimeter of the paper.  For fabric, after the fabric has dried, cut the edges to fray them. This will only work with some types of fabric, like burlap. If you have a fabric that won't fray, try painting extra coffee or tea around parts of the edges to make them darker. When the fabric or paper is completely dry, you can begin to assemble the scroll.  Attach the dowels with glue or by sewing. Add embellishments like a hanging ribbon or wooden ornament on the dowels. Roll the scroll or hang it on the wall.

Article in English: You can make cookies and crunchy snacks for your horse without turning on the oven. One good recipe is for peppermint cookies. For five of these you will need a cup of rolled oats, a quarter cup of water, 1-2 tbsp. of molasses, and five peppermints. Start by mixing up the oats and the water. Stir it up together until the oats are all damp.  Next, you should add the molasses gradually, stirring as you go, until the mixture is nice and sticky. Roll the mixture up into balls, and then press one peppermint onto each cookie. Put the cookies in the fridge and wait for them to harden before treating your horse. For this treat, you just need an apple, a banana, and a handful of ice cubes. Start by peeling and then slicing up the banana. Put the banana pieces into a blender with some ice cubes and blend it until the mixture becomes creamy. Next, cut off the top of the apple and carefully scoop out the middle.  Spoon the creamy banana mixture into the hollowed-out apple. Then pour out any remaining banana mixture onto the sides of the apples. Another fruity treat just requires a few carrots and bunch of grapes. Start by slicing the carrots into slim sticks. Then push one carrot stick into each grape so the grape stays on the end of the carrot stick, a bit like a popsicle. Then put the grapes in ice cube trays, so the carrots are sticking up, and put them in your freezer.  Leave them in the freezer for a couple of hours so they go cold, but do not completely freeze. Then you have a nice cool fruity treat to give your horse on a hot day. Make sure the grapes are seedless, or you have removed all the seeds. You can mix up a nice salad as a healthy and delicious treat for your horse. For this variety you will need to start by gathering five chopped dandy lion plants (when they are in bloom, and excluding any roots). Combine this with two handfuls of chopped young bunch grass, or thick blade grass, and two handfuls of young wheat grass.  Add four cups of young pink clover (when in bloom), and a handful of chopped parsley....

Article in English: You can make crumbles all year using seasonally fresh produce. Try blackberries and strawberries during the summer or pears and rhubarb during the spring. If you use fruit that is considerably tarter, you may need to adjust the sugar. For example, rhubarb will require extra sugar. Frozen fruit can also be used in crumbles. Don't thaw before covering it with crumble topping. Simply top and bake. To add a heftier chewy texture to your crumble topping, consider adding oats. Replace half of the flour with oats. This will give your crumble a bit of a granola taste. Remember to keep some flour in your topping, even when using oats. Flour acts as a binder and keeps the topping together. It will also help soak up juices from the fruit. Nuts can add flavor, nutrition, and crunch to a crumble. Use your favorite nut, or try pecans, walnuts, or hazelnuts. They're best if you use roasted nuts and chop them before adding them to the topping. Make sure nuts are well mixed into the crumble topping. If simply scattered over the topping, they're likely to burn. While apple crumble is great on its own, try adding a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream over it. Or pour crème anglaise, a rich creamy custard, over the warm crumble. You don't have to stick to vanilla ice cream. Apple crumbles work well with caramel or dulce de leche ice cream.

If you do this, the waffle will turn out chewy.  Add some oil or melted butter into your recipe to reduce sticking.  For extra flavor, add some cinnamon, vanilla, or almond extract. If you want some heat in your breakfast, try a dash of chili powder. Set the waffle maker onto a flat, heat-safe surface and plug it in. If your waffle maker has different heat settings (ie: light, medium, dark), select the one that appeals to you. Some models will have an indicator light that switches on. Pay attention to this light; it will turn off or change color when the iron is ready to use.

Article in English: You can make lists and look at your past relationships for signposts, but the very best way to figure out what you want in a relationship is to start dating casually. Go out for coffee, ice cream, or drinks with a few people who seem to meet your standards.  Know your limitations before you step into this domain, however. You may not want to become physically intimate with several people at the same time.  Also, it’s wise to make sure you communicate that you are dating casually to prevent hurt feelings. Set a timeline for when you should stop seeing someone if you don’t feel a natural connection. If someone seems to become serious, or you start feeling more attracted to one person over another, cut ties with everyone else and follow your instinct. As you casually date a few potential suitors, consider how well each individuals matches up with your personal values, goals and dreams. Check to be sure no one is representing qualities from your deal-breakers list. As you come to get to know this person, don’t forget about your own wants and needs. At this point, you may naturally feel a better connection or more aligned with one person over any others. Now is the time to cut off any ties with other suitors so that you can focus on strengthening the relationship you have with this person and maintain fidelity. Every short-term relationship starts off by seeing your partner through rose-colored glasses. Everything the other person says or does is absolutely charming. In time, the perfect aura around this person starts to fade. Prepare yourself for this eventuality and start looking beyond the crazy-in-love phase to how things will be in several months or years.  You must consider whether the seemingly small things that annoy you about your partner will be magnified as the rose-colored glasses come off. Return to your list and make sure that you haven’t been overlooking any important values or qualities due to being head-over-heels. For example, if cleanliness was important for you at the onset, are you going to be...

Article in English: You can make pumpkin puree out of any type of pumpkin, but for the most concentrated flavor (and the best for making pie), go for the smaller pumpkins that are intended to be used in recipes, rather than choose jack-o-lantern sized squash. Each pumpkin will yield a cup or so of puree.  Look for pumpkins with bright orange flesh, no big bruises or gouges, and a relatively uniform shape. Heirloom pumpkins often have striated colors like yellow and green in addition to orange. These make great puree, too, but the color may not be the classic bright orange you're used to. Avoid decorative baby pumpkins - these don't contain enough meat to make much pumpkin puree, and they aren't grown to be eaten. Run them under cold water and scrub away any dirt or other debris, especially if you got the pumpkins from your garden or a pumpkin patch. Start by chopping off the stems, leaving as much of the body intact as possible. Next slice the pumpkins in half, revealing their seeds. Use a large spoon to scoop all of the pumpkin seeds from the halves into a bowl. Save the seeds for later, since they're  delicious roasted. Scoop out as many of the orange strings as you can, too. Finish processing the pumpkins by slicing the halves into quarters. You should now have 8 (or more, if you're using more than 2 pumpkins) wedges of pumpkin to work with.

Article in English: You can make use of apps that can be used to make it appear as if you are receiving a phone call. Browse the app store on your iPhone, Blackberry, Android or other smartphone device by using a search term such as "fake call." There will be options on the app store that are offered for free or can be purchased. Be sure to read reviews to determine what features will suit your needs best as the features will vary between apps. You may also find apps that generate prank calls by offering specific personalities such as celebrities, characters or even a significant other. These may not provide the same versatility as general apps, but may be useful for themed occasions such as the holidays or birthdays. You may have options available such as making a fake identity for your mystery caller, using a contact from your contact’s list, pre-recording audio and scheduling the call. Plan out when you are to receive a call to use in an appropriate situation.  Apps will allow you to create a name, phone number and provide a photo to create an identity to a fake caller. When receiving a call, the phone call interface will look similar to the phone call interface of your phone. You can also choose between other phone interfaces if it does not match your device. In some apps, you are allowed to create your own interface. Try to match it as close as possible to yours. Handing the phone to someone who is familiar with your phone device may uncover your prank. Apps can provide an array of audio clips that provide different topics, personality types or you can even create your own by providing a compatible audio file. The app may not allow you to record a conversation, but you will be able to use other apps to record audio. Apps will allow you to place the call immediately. If you want the app to call at a later time, you can set it’s scheduler to place a call after a certain period, or you can have it place a call at a specific time. You can use allow the app to run in the background or place your phone in sleep mode to simulate...

Article in English: You can make use of your house phone, pay phone or borrow a phone from another person. Make sure to ask for permission when using someone else’s phone. If the call immediately fails or goes to a mailbox to leave a message, the signal may have failed and you may need to try again or the phone is turned off and will not make a sound. If the phone is ringing but you do not hear a ringtone, a phone that is set to silent may be set to vibrate. Listen for a faint hum from your phone while moving around the house or area to make the device more audible. If placed in vibration mode you may hear it vibrating against other surfaces such as a table. Try to look around areas you use frequently. It is possible the device may have fallen behind a table, furniture or is buried under other objects which could make it difficult to hear the device.

Article in English: You can make your own herbal acne medicine if you want to know for sure exactly what's going into your acne treatment. Astringent herbs tighten or tone the skin while the antibacterial herbs help kill off bacteria. Essential oils are the easiest form of the herbs to work with, but the powdered herbs will work just as well. For this homemade medicine, you will need:  5 tablespoons of honey. Medicinal honey (Manuka honey) is preferable, but any pure honey will work due to its antibacterial and astringent properties.  2 egg whites. In addition to the astringent properties, the egg whites will also help to thicken the medicine. 1 tablespoon lemon juice. In addition to working as an astringent, the lemon juice is also a whitening agent to help reduce the appearance of blackheads. 1 teaspoon peppermint 1 teaspoon spearmint 1 teaspoon lavender 1 teaspoon thyme 1 teaspoon calendula You don't have to worry about mixing the ingredients in a particular order; however, starting with the pure liquids will make it easier to mix in the other ingredients more easily. You may need help from a parent, partner, or someone else you're comfortable with asking to spread the mixture over your back. You can also use a Q-tip or clean finger to apply the mixture as a spot treatment. You need to give the herbs time to dry and work on the acne. Wait approximately fifteen minutes before rinsing the mixture off completely with lukewarm water. Make sure you remember to pat the area dry rather than scrubbing the area dry. Non-comedogenic simply means that the moisturizer won't clog pores. The product label will specifically say non-comedogenic. Common examples include products from Neutrogena, Cetaphil, and Olay or their store-brand equivalents.  You can also find organic non-comedogenic moisturizers if you'd like a natural option for that as well. If you prefer to make your own moisturizer at home, then consider using these non-comedogenic oils: hemp seed oil, mineral oil, petrolatum, safflower oil, or castor oil. You can use this...

Article in English: You can make your own or buy a mask from the store. If you have long hair, pull it back so it doesn’t get in the way. Avocado, honey, olive oil, coconut oil, and even egg whites can be used to make a hydrating mask right in your own home. Take this opportunity to savor a special treat that you’ve been saving. While chocolates or candies are probably the most popular bath-time indulgence, you can choose anything you’d like! It’s probably best to avoid anything that might get crumbs in the bathwater, though. If you don’t drink wine, choose something else! Sparkling water can feel special and there are tons of great flavors to choose from. Even coffee or tea can be enjoyable as long as it doesn’t make you too hot. Bring along the book you’ve been meaning to read forever or grab a fun magazine the next time you’re at the grocery store. Whatever you choose, enjoy taking some personal time to do something relaxing for yourself. Keep a towel nearby to dry off your hands so that the pages of the book or magazine don’t get wet. Buy a scrub from the store or make your own at home. While you’re in the tub, scoop out about 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 44 mL) of the scrub and rub it over your arms and legs with a circular motion. Rinse off the scrub when you’re finished. You can use body scrub at any stage during your bath, but if you don’t like the idea of bathing in the rinsed-off scrub, just wait until you’re about to get out to do this. Before you get into the bath, take a moment to pick out a clean towel from the cupboard and set it beside the tub. That way, you won’t have to use an old, damp towel from your morning’s shower. Consider having a special towel that only you use for your relaxing baths. This will keep the towel in great condition and it’ll make your self-care time feel even more special.

Article in English: You can make your s'more more flavorful by adding a slice or two of fruit to it. Strawberries and bananas taste great when paired with chocolate, but you can also use other types of fruit too, such as raspberries.  When making a fruity s'more, add the strawberry or banana slice on the graham cracker, before the chocolate. Consider using chocolate spread instead of hard chocolate. It will help "glue" the fruit to the graham cracker and prevent it from slipping out. Instead of using plain old milk or dark chocolate, consider using chocolate filled with caramel, mint, or peanut butter instead. You can also use chocolate with ground nuts in it as well.  For a cool, wintery spin, use mint-filled chocolate instead of regular chocolate. Switch out the regular graham crackers for chocolate graham crackers. For a unique, salted-caramel flavor, use caramel-filed chocolate and add a strip of fried bacon. If you do not like bacon, you can use salted-caramel chocolate instead. Marshmallow and chocolate spreads come in a jar, and might be easier to spread across a graham cracker. Most chocolate spreads will also have a slight hazelnut flavor. Consider using chocolate sauce instead of chocolate. You can substitute the chocolate for other candies, such as peanut butter cups or chocolate-covered wafers. You can also add candy to your s'more.  If you like peanut butter, switch the regular chocolate out for a peanut butter cup. Consider adding a banana for more flavor. For an extra creamy flavor, skip the chocolate and replace it with dulce de leche. Use cinnamon graham crackers instead of regular ones. For a unique twist, add a strip of red or black licorice on top of the chocolate just before you set the marshmallow down. Assemble the entire s'more first, then wrap it in a lightly-oiled piece of foil. Fold over the ends of the foil packet to seal the s'more inside. Heat the s'more packet in the coals of a campfire for two to three minutes. Be sure to turn the packet often, then take it out of the fire using a pair of tongs....

Summary in Russian:

Добавьте в смор фрукты. Возьмите шоколад с добавками. Вы можете взять шоколадную и зефирную пасту вместо зефира и шоколада. Возьмите конфеты вместо шоколада. Попробуйте обжарить смор целиком.


Article in English: You can make your s'mores over any sort of fire. Keep in mind, however, that the fuel you use may also influence the flavor of the marshmallow. If you are working outdoors, make sure to follow safety precautions by having water or fire extinguisher near by, and to avoid windy days. If you are making a campfire, be sure to use clean, dry wood, and to properly rein in the fire with a ring of stones. Do not use accelerators. You will end up with two square-shaped graham crackers. This will be enough to make one s'more. One of the halves will be for the bottom of the s'more, and the other half will be for the top. You will need a piece of chocolate that is just a bit smaller than your graham cracker. If you have a large piece of chocolate, then break it into smaller squares. Take a piece of chocolate and set it down on one of the graham cracker squares. The other square should have nothing on it. Carefully insert a clean skewer into the side of the marshmallow. Hold the marshmallow just over the flames and let it roast to your liking. Be sure to rotate the marshmallow so that it cooks evenly.  If you are camping and wish to use a stick, be sure to shave the tip into a fine point; this will make it easier to skewer the marshmallow and get rid of any bark. If you are using a metal skewer, make sure that it has a heat-resistant handle so that you don't burn your hand. You can tell if the marshmallow is done if it is golden-brown in color. You can continue roasting it, set it on fire, or remove it from the fire at this point. Without removing the marshmallow from the skewer, place it on top of the chocolate. Press down on the graham cracker slightly. The hot marshmallow will melt the chocolate and help fuse everything together. Wait a few seconds before serving the s'more. This gives the marshmallow some time to cool down so that it doesn't burn your mouth.

Article in English: You can malt as much barley as you like. It’s important to work in manageable batches depending on your equipment. Malting barley requires a large bucket, a strainer, baking sheets, and a dehydrator.  A good quantity of barley to start with is between 1 and 4 pounds (450 and 1,810 g). Don’t fill the bucket more than halfway; otherwise, there won’t be room for water and expansion as the grains absorb water. Make sure to use whole raw barley, and not pearled, hulled, or other types of grain that have been processed. Add enough water to completely cover all the grains. The water will kick start the germination process. During soaking, store the barley, uncovered, somewhere cool. The temperature should be between 50 and 60 °F (10 and 16 °C).  During soaking, dirt and components from the husk will dissolve in the water, and these will be drained out later. Getting rid of these particles will make for a better tasting malt. You can soak the barley for longer than 8 hours if necessary, but don’t soak it for longer than 16 hours at a time. The barley can drown if you leave it in the water for too long. Pour the barley into a large strainer or colander to strain out the water. As the barley is draining, clean the soaking bucket with hot, soapy water. Rinse the bucket well to remove any soap residue. This will help to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi. It’s important to drain and air dry the barley between soakings, because the barley will die if it doesn’t get enough air. Transfer the drained barley from the colander back to the cleaned soaking bucket. Leave the barley to air dry in the same cool location for 8 hours to give the grains access to plenty of oxygen. While the grains are air resting, clean the colander with hot, soapy water. When the barley has been air rested for 8 hours, fill the bucket with enough cool water to completely cover the grains. Leave the barley to soak for another 8 hours. After that time, drain the barley in the colander and transfer it back to the bucket to air rest for another 8...

Article in English: You can measure mass using a balance. A balance is different from a scale because it uses a known mass to measure the unknown mass where as a scale actually measures weight.  Finding mass with a triple-beam balance or a double-pan balance is a form of measuring gravitational mass. This is a static measurement, which means it is only accurate when the object being measured is at rest. A balance can measure weight and mass. Because the measurement of the balance weights change by the same factor as the object being measured, a balance is able to accurately provide the mass of an object regardless of the specific gravity of the environment. Inertial mass is a dynamic measuring method, meaning that it can only be accomplished while the object being measured is in motion. The inertia of the object is used to quantify the amount of matter.  An inertial balance is used to measure inertial mass. Secure the inertial balance to a table. Calibrate the inertial balance by putting the container in motion counting the number of vibrations in a specified time period, for example 30 seconds. Place an item of known mass in the container and repeat the experiment. Continue using several items of known mass to finish calibrating the scale. Repeat the experiment with an item of unknown mass. Graph all results to find the mass of the final object.

Article in English: You can meditate wherever you feel comfortable. Find a relaxing and calm place to meditate. It is helpful if it is relatively quiet and there are few distractions. You may choose to meditate in your bedroom, living room or at a local park.  You can also go to a local meditation center. There are both secular and religious centers with a focus on meditation. Many meditation centers will have times when you can drop in and meditate with other people, as well as classes and other events. If you want to meditate someplace with other people, the Center for Mindfulness has a list of meditation centers: http://mbpti.org/mindfulness-meditation-centers/  People meditate in airports, parks, hospitals and other places. Once you have learned to meditate, you can meditate in many different places. To start, it is best to find someplace quiet and relaxing. Do a few stretches before you start meditating. You can choose a few simple stretches to perform prior to sitting on your meditation cushion or chair. Try two or three of the following stretches before meditating:  Do a cow pose. Put your knees on the ground and your hands on the ground in front of you. Inhale and drop your spine and belly to the ground. At the same time, lift your chest upwards.  Do the cat pose. You can do this stretch after the cow pose. Put your knees on the ground and your hands on the ground in front of you. As you exhale, drop your head to the ground and lift your back up to the ceiling.  Stretch your shoulders. Stand up with your arms to the side. Your arms should be at a ninety-degree angle to your torso. As you inhale, roll your arms so that your palms face the ceiling. Then, as you exhale, roll your arms the other way so that they are facing backwards.  Shrug your shoulders. As you inhale, lift your shoulders up high as if you were trying to reach the ceiling. Hold for one second. As you exhale, let your shoulders drop down. Repeat three times. Prior to meditating, it is helpful to decide how long you want to practice. There is no rule for how...

Article in English: You can meet all the people in the world, but you'll never learn anything about them if you do all the talking. Try to ask people more questions, and listen actively instead of thinking about the next thing you'll say. To listen actively, give someone your undivided attention. Don't play with your phone or daydream as they speak. Make eye contact and nod occasionally to indicate you're listening. Try to visualize the events, objects, or people they describe. Diverse viewpoints can help you see things new ways and grow as a person. Do your best to chat with people of different backgrounds or beliefs in your everyday life.  For instance, sit with someone you normally wouldn't talk to during your lunch break at school or work. Let your conversation develop naturally instead of immediately ask about their religious or political beliefs. Try to get to know them by asking, “Where are you from?” or “What do you like to do for fun?” Some college campuses and community organizations will hold events meant to bring people with different backgrounds and beliefs together. Events like those put on by the Human Library, where people from different backgrounds volunteer as human books that you can "check out" for an open conversation, can help you connect with a wide variety of people. You don't need to go far to get the benefits of travel. Just look for a place where the way of life is different than your own. Immersing yourself in a new place is a great way to see the world from a different perspective.  International travel is a great way to understand different beliefs. Plan a trip to a place where you don't speak the language and don't have many connections. Learning to navigate a new part of the world without your normal tools will help broaden your perspective. If you can't make it abroad, look nearby for something that will challenge you. If you live in a city, go camping in the woods for a few days. Do you live in California? Try taking a trip to the American South to meet new people, try new food, and learn about...

Article in English: You can minimize the appearance of scratches in glass tabletops or cabinet doors by buffing a scratch removal compound into them. Make this compound by mixing together 2 tablespoons (30 ml) each of jeweler's rouge (can be purchased from a jeweler), glycerin (can be purchase from a pharmacy), and tap water. Stir these ingredients together in a small bowl. Use a soft cloth to gently rub the compound over the scratch using smooth, circular motions. Do this for about 30 seconds, and then allow the compound to dry into the scratch for another 30 seconds. You can wash the compound away using mild soap and water. Note that the scratch will begin to reappear in the glass after about 6 months, after which you can reapply the compound if desired.

Article in English: You can mix a splash of salt and pepper, as well as a spoonful of butter, into your rice for a classic taste. Butter can be added to the water before you cook the rice or you can melt it in after the rice has cooked. If you're making rice as a side dish for something else, borrow from the spices from that dish and mix it into the rice. This will add flavor to the rice and help it pair well with whatever you're cooking. For example, if you're making salmon, add some of the salmon marinade to the rice after cooking it.

Article in English: You can mix these colors to make a dark grey, which is about as close as you can get without buying black food coloring. If you're making icing or frosting, use gel or paste food coloring. Liquid food coloring is less intense and can make the icing runny. The end result is always better when you start with a dark recipe. If you're using white frosting, you can fix this by mixing in cocoa powder, one spoonful at a time.  Black cocoa powder gives the best result, but ordinary cocoa powder should work fine for this method. If you skip this step, you'll need to use much more food coloring, which can affect the taste and texture. Start with just a couple drops of each color, stirring them in well. Repeat until the mixture darkens to a deep grey, always adding equal amounts of the color. You can use yellow instead of green, but the lighter color makes it more difficult to achieve black. If you see hints of other colors in the grey, make these adjustments:  If it looks green, add more red. If it looks purple, add more green. Make all adjustments one drop at a time, stirring thoroughly between each drop. Most food coloring will deepen in buttercream and fade slightly in royal and boiled icing. If you are making the latter type of icing, consider adding the color a half hour before serving to minimize the fading.  In some regions, chemicals in the water can change the color. Buttercream usually has a more reliable color when made with milk instead.  Keep the recipe away from direct light and heat, which can cause fading.

Article in English: You can never underestimate the power of appreciating another person for who they are, particularly the special woman in your life. It isn't enough to just say that you're thankful to have her in your life; it's important to spell out why. The details matter because they go to the core of who she is and how her essence is reflected in your eyes.  Notice what she does to help others, including you, and make a comment about how much you value her generosity and kindness. Tell her that you really appreciate her ability to help and care for others. Pay attention to her appearance changes. Tell her you love her new hair style or her new clothes. Cherish the little things. Whenever you notice something small that reminds you how much you appreciate her, say it rather than just thinking it. One important way of letting her know that you appreciate her is to compliment her. Compliments serve as instant mood-boosters and are an important means for reminding her how much you care about her. Don't compliment her so much that she begins to question your sincerity, but at the same time, don't get into a routine that causes you to forget how much she needs to know that you notice her.  Be specific in your compliments. Instead of making a general remark about how beautiful she is, pinpoint specific aspects of her that amaze you, such as her eyes, her hair or the way she smiles. Singling out a particular reason for why you like or love a person is far more effective than a generalized reason. Ask questions that are a compliment. For example: "I love your earrings, they are perfect with your outfit. Where did you find them?" A question like this shows that you notice, that you think she looks great and that she has good taste.  Be sincere. If your compliments or comments are not meant sincerely, they won't carry a genuine feeling and she'll pick up on this lack of sincerity. Dale Carnegie once said: ""Flattery is from the teeth out. Sincere appreciation is from the heart out." Therefore, only say things you feel in your heart...

Article in English: You can never wash your hands too much.  You should especially wash your hands after you’ve used the bathroom and before you eat.  It is also helpful to get into the habit of washing your hands after you’ve been out in public, or have touched public door handles, elevator buttons, or railings. Your hands are your connection to the world.  Unfortunately, that means they’re probably covered in dirt, oil, bacteria and other stuff you don’t want to think about, especially before you’ve washed them. This is especially important if either you or the other person are currently feeling ill.  But just to be safe, because many illnesses can be contagious when the person isn’t symptomatic, it’s best just to avoid sharing anything, with anyone, that touches your mouth. Make sure your vaccinations and immunizations are up-to-date.  If you can’t remember when you last had one, speak to your doctor — in some cases, it’s better to get a shot early than not at all.    These immunizations will help keep away many illnesses like the flu or the measles that have a fever as a symptom. Note that it is not uncommon for an immunization with an active virus to give you temporary symptoms, including a fever, in the few days following the shot.  Make sure you’re aware of these possible side effects by speaking to your doctor.

Some signs of irritation include:  Frowning Rolling their eyes Raising their eyebrows Holding their mouth closed/tight It's okay to ask for clarification if you can't figure out what someone is thinking or feeling. If you're uncertain, state what you notice, then ask what it means. Here are some examples:  "I've noticed you're checking the time a lot. Do you need to go?" "You seem fidgety. Is something bothering you?" "You look uncomfortable. Should we change the subject?" "Have I upset you?" If you’re wondering if you are irritating someone in particular, step back and take an objective look at your relationship. Has it changed recently? The other person might be upset with you.   Has your co-worker stopped chatting with you over your morning coffee? Consider asking them if everything is okay. If your best friend no longer invites you over for movie night, ask what is going on. Do people abruptly leave or end conversations when you come by? When you start talking, do people try to end the conversation as quickly as possible? It is possible the other person has something else happening in their life. Maybe your sister just hasn't had much time for you lately. It's natural to assume that it has something to do with you, but it might not! Remember that everyone has their ups and downs, and the person might just be stressed about work or school.

However, a 15–20 US gal (57–76 L) tank is ideal, especially for larger varieties. An air bubbler or long bubble wall is also a must, as it’s possible for crayfish to drown if they stay submerged for too long without a separate source of oxygen.  Crayfish thrive in cool conditions like mud flats and riverbeds, so stay away from heated aquariums. Look for tanks that feature built-in aeration and filtration units to keep the water clean and circulating properly. Crayfish prefer water with a neutral pH (around 7.0). Ideally, the temperature of the water should remain somewhere between 70–75 °F (21–24 °C). You should have no problem keeping the water at the right temperature if you’ve set up your tank indoors.  A pH testing kit can come in handy for determining how acidic or basic the water in your tank is. You can typically find these kits in the fish section at pet stores, or wherever pool supplies are sold. Avoid adding objects like seashells to your tank, as foreign minerals can throw off the pH of the water. e tank at least once a week. Crayfish generate large amounts of waste products that can be taxing on standard aquarium filtration systems. This means you’ll need to stay on top of your water changes in order to ensure that you crayfish...

Article in English: You can only transform once a day (unless you have the Ring of Hircine) and the Beast Form lasts for 150 seconds. Time is extended for beast form if you feed off corpses, giving you an additional 30 seconds. Select it from the power menu and activate it in a similar manner to Shouts. Benefits are only applicable when in beast form.  You will be cured of all diseases. This includes vampirism. Your health and stamina will increase, as well as stamina regeneration. Your carrying capacity will increase 2000 pts as a wolf. You can use Howls, which are similar to shouts. Howls drives enemies away. You will have claws which act as both weapon and protection. As nice as the upsides are, there are a number of downsides of which you should be aware.  Silver harms anyone, but as a werewolf--especially in wolf form--silver hurts you even more than before. You will not receive any resting bonuses. Racial abilities will not carry over. You cannot use equipment, magic, or other powers. If NPC'S witness your transformation, they will run, or attack you. In the least case they will treat you like an outsider, saying "I find your wolfish grin... unsettling." "You smell like a wet dog." "Is that... Hair growing out of your ears?" and even "Ah, you've been playing with your hounds again?" But Eorlund Gray-Mane will defend you if you transform in the middle of Whiterun. You may wish to cure yourself of lycanthropy. Unless you have activated the Dawnguard Expansion Pack* (*Aela can give you blood once more) or downloaded a mod, it will be impossible to become a werewolf again.

Article in English: You can paint the entire wood structure whatever color you want to. Paint it to match your house or paint it a bold color to make it a backyard accent piece. Make sure the paint you use is appropriate for outdoor use. Paint can additionally protect the wood, prolonging the life of your structure. You can of course add corrugated aluminium or fiberglass roofing fit to size and secured with nails. However, for a magazine look, screw hooks 1” away from the top and bottom of each angled roof beam (on the inside area). Suspend stretch cable between these hooks and use curtains with rod pockets at the top and bottom to create beautiful designer-look roofing. You can similarly install curtain rods on the inside of the structure to hang curtains to create movable walls. These can be tied back to the posts when not in use. You can add all sorts of other extras to your gazebo. Hang flower pots between the posts and windows. Hang string lights to create a romantic effect. Fill it with a table and chairs or even a bed! You are limited only by your imagination.

Article in English: You can pause, smile, and start talking about something else, indicate that the moment is over by saying “Just thought you should know." You can even tell him you don't need to hear anything back, letting him know he should take some time to think things over. The less you come across like you're trying to extract a particular response from him the likelier he'll be to give you the one you want – if not immediately, eventually, when he realizes what a lucky guy he is. When talking, try to phrase everything personally -- "I realized I love you," "I fell for you, etc.-- instead of using language like "we" and "us." Because guys aren't always encouraged to communicate their thoughts and feelings, it's extra important to make them feel like they have someone to confide in. Be an active listener by reading between the lines, waiting for him to finish before you respond, and digging in with further questions. Avoid tying whatever he says back to yourself. You've told him you love him, now be patient as he works through his own emotions. Some silence, though it may feel awkward, is not a bad thing. He may be a bit shocked and need time to digest the news -- don't feel like one of you must always be talking. Just because you're not demanding a response doesn't mean you aren't pressuring him. If he disappears for a day or two, don't worry too much -- he just needs to process things. Chasing him down or following his every move, waiting to see how he responds, will only drive him farther away. If he is awkward or tells you he has other feelings, be kind and cordial -- you've done your part! But if he smiles or responds that he loves you too, there is no reason to rush down the aisle. Telling someone you love them in just another step in your relationship, not the end of the line. The important thing is treating him like you love him, not just saying the words.  Keep talking regularly, having open and honest conversations about your relationship. Don't feel the need to tell him you love him every day now -- actions...

Article in English: You can perform certain operations on a matrix to transform it while keeping it equivalent to the original. These are called elementary operations. To solve a 2x3 matrix, for example, you use elementary row operations to transform the matrix into a triangular one. Elementary operations include:  swapping two rows. multiplying a row by a number different from zero. multiplying one row and then adding to another row. You want to produce zero in your second row, so multiply in a way that lets you do that. For example, say you have a matrix that looks like this:You can keep the first row and use it to produce zero in the second row. To do that, first multiply the second row by two, as follows: In order to get to zero for the first row, you may need to multiply again, using the same principle. In the example above, multiply the second row by -1, as follows:When you complete the multiplication, your new matrix looks like this: Next, add the first and second rows to produce zero in the first column of the second row. In the example above, add the two rows together as follows: At this point, you have a triangular matrix. You can use that matrix to get a new linear system. The first column corresponds to the unknown x, and the second column corresponds to the unknown y. The third column corresponds to the free member of an equation. For the example above, your new system would therefore look like this: Using your new system, determine which variable can be determined easily, and solve for it. In the example above, you’ll want to “backsolve” – moving from the last equation to the first when solving for your unknowns. The second equation gives you an easy solution for y; since the x has been removed, you can see that y = 2. Once you’ve determined one of the variables, you can substitute its value into the other equation to solve for the other variable. In the example above, replace the y with a 2 in the first equation to solve for x as follows:

Article in English: You can place the whole bag of concrete into a wheelbarrow. Use a spade to break the bottom of the bag open, and lift the bag up. The concrete should spill out into the wheelbarrow. You may have to shake the bag a bit to get it all out. Glow powder is a special chemical that is designed to absorb energy from the sun through the day. You can find powders that are made to be compatible with concrete at your local hardware store. While the ratios vary, most manufacturers recommend that you create a dry mix of 85% concrete and 15% glow powder.  For example, if you had a total of 10 gallons (38 L) of mix, 8.5 gallons (32 L) would be concrete and 1.5 gallons (5.7 L) would be glow powder. Choose a powder with earth aluminate versus one with a zinc base for the best illumination. Consult the concrete bag to know how much water is needed. Pour the water in slowly, mixing as you go. When you are finished, your concrete should be a wet sludge-like consistency. Find or make a mold that is the size and shape that you want your stepping stones. Lightly coat the inside of each mold with petroleum jelly to make removing the stones easier. Mark the fill point on each mold so every stepping stone is the same thickness. Pour the concrete into each mold, then tap the edges of the molds to remove air bubbles and help the concrete settle. Make sure you have as many molds as you wish to have stepping stones—the concrete in the wheelbarrow will dry up before you get to pour a second round. For the fastest dry times, leave the molds in a dry, relatively warm place. It can still take 24 hours or longer for the concrete to completely dry. If you disturb the concrete before it is dry, you can cause cracks and other imperfections in your stones. If you used a reusable mold, use a knife or other prying tool to loosen the concrete. If your mold was disposable, you can just break the mold away from the concrete. Now, your stones are ready to set wherever you want them.

Article in English: You can place your meat directly onto a clean rack of your refrigerator/freezer, or you can first put your meat onto a suitable tray, like a rimmed baking sheet. Set your refrigerator fan to low, and double check the temperature to make sure it is at 36°F (2.2°C). As the meat ages, sometimes your covering can get stuck to the meat, leaving fibers behind. After the first day, remove your cheesecloth or paper towel covering, and then loosely rewrap the meat using the same covering. As your paper cheesecloth/paper towel will have already absorbed some moisture from the meat, it'll be less likely to leave fibers behind when the aging process is finished. You'll want to dry age your meat for the length of time you determined it would need from its coloring. You may not notice a difference in your meat when aging it for periods of time shorter than two weeks. It's common for your meat to start developing an unpleasant smell during the aging process. This could affect other meat in your fridge, which is another reason why it's good to use a separate, designated fridge/freezer for aging. The outer parts of the meat will be the most dehydrated. These parts won't likely be edible, but under this crusty surface you'll find the tender, flavorful meat that aged beef is known for. Use a sharp knife to shave free the outer layer. If you notice any fat that has dried, shave this from your meat as well. Good fat that still looks moist, however, should be kept. Now that the aging is complete, you can cut your meat into portions, like steaks. Shortly after that, your meat should be eaten to prevent an unhealthy amount of post-aging breakdown. If you are unable to eat the meat the day it is done aging, you can leave it in a refrigerator for 1 to 2 days without damaging the meat.
