Article in English: Black lipstick starts to look streaky and flaky more quickly than other colors. To prevent this from happening, it's important to prep your lips before you apply it. Make sure you remove all skin flakes and moisturize your lips so they're soft and supple. If your lips are chapped, you might want to save the black lipstick for another time.  Exfoliate by brushing your lips with a soft toothbrush, or use a lip scrub. Moisturize with a rich lip balm or coconut oil. Black lipstick will probably need to be reapplied each time you take a drink or eat something. If you're wearing it to a cocktail party or another event at which you'll be eating and drinking, don't forget to bring along your lipstick. Faded black lipstick tends to look gray and drab, so you'll probably need to do a touch-up at least once before the evening is over.

Article in English: Black seed is believed to help boost your immune system and protect against numerous diseases. For basic overall immune support, ingest one teaspoon of black seeds two times each day. You can also use black seed oil. However, the purest form of black seeds is when you have processed your own seeds. This guarantees you are not getting any unnecessary or harmful additives. Measure out one teaspoon of black seed oil and mix it with one teaspoon of raw honey. Take this one to three times each day. This mixture is believed to help provide numerous healing properties for a variety of diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, the flu, and cystic fibrosis. You can also add one teaspoon of crushed black seed powder to the mixture. If you don’t want to crush the seeds but want to heat them and consume them, consider boiling them in water. Boil a small amount of water with a teaspoon of black seeds. After it boils, let it simmer for about five minutes. Then pour into a mug and drink when it cools enough to consume. Black seed oil is traditionally used for intestinal and stomach ailments. If you are suffering from IBS, diarrhea, or other gastrointestinal problems, try mixing one cup of kefir, Greek yogurt, or plain yogurt with one teaspoon of black seed oil. Eat this twice each day. After you have heated and crushed your seeds, you can place the ground seeds into any food. Consider putting a teaspoon into bread, oatmeal, smoothies, or anything else you eat.

Article in English: Black tea has a high concentration of tannins, a substance that works well for killing odor-producing bacteria in your shoes. Steep two teabags, one for each shoe, in boiling water for two to three minutes.  To prevent yourself from getting burned by a hot teabag, you may want to use a utensil for removal. A spoon, fork, or tongs can help you safely remove your teabags. Allow your teabags to cool for a few minutes after removing it from the boiling water. This will make it easier to handle with your fingers. For light odors, a single teabag per shoe may be enough to rid it of its bad smell. Odors that are especially strong may require several teabags. The teabags should still be moist from being steeped. The moisture will allow the tannins to seep into the insole of your shoe to more effectively fight the odor-causing bacteria. For very strong odors, you may want to layer extra teabags along the entire length of each insole from the toe of the shoe to its heel. An hour should be enough for the treatment to lessen or eliminate the odor in your shoes. Then, remove your teabags, wipe up any remaining moisture, and allow your shoes to air dry.  In bad odor cases, you may want to let your teabags sit in your shoes for up to two hours. You can speed the drying process along with a blow drier. Simple point the blow drier so the hot air blows into the shoe until the shoe is completely dry.

Summary in Russian:

Заварите в горячей воде пакетики черного чая. Положите в каждую туфлю по одному чайному пакетику. Оставьте пакетики в туфлях примерно на час.


Article in English: Black teabags contain tannins, a substance that can help kill bacteria. Placing a black teabag in your shoe could potentially eliminate some odor by killing bacteria.  You will have to place the teabag in some boiling water prior to use. After immersing the teabag in boiling water, remove it and let it sit for 5 minutes. Place a teabag in either shoe. Let the teabags sit for an hour. Remove the teabags and use a paper towel to remove any excess juice. See if you notice a reduction in odor. Clean kitty litter is usually infused with a deodorizer. Make sure you purchase kitty litter aimed at controlling odor, as this can easily be used to remove odor from shoes.  Line the insides of the shoes with kitty litter. Let the shoes sit overnight, or until you notice the smell is gone. Clean all the kitty litter out of the shoes. You can try shaking the kitty litter out, which should get rid of most of it. Use a paper towel to remove any lingering bits of kitty litter. Dryer sheets are meant to freshen the smell of clothing, so they can be used in shoes as well. Using dryer sheets to get rid of shoe odor is easy. You simply place dryer sheets inside each shoe. Then, wear the shoes as you normally would. The shoes should absorb the odor from the dryer sheets, minimizing a foul scent. Throw away the dryer sheets after using this method. You should use new dryer sheets each time. Freezing shoes may remove some of the odors. To freeze shoes, place both shoes in a resealable bag. Cold temperatures can damage shoes, so it's very important you place your shoes in a bag before transferring them to your freezer.  Leave the shoes in the freezer overnight. The cold temperature should help kill bacteria-causing odor. Wait until the shoes thaw completely to wear them again. The cold temperature should eliminate, or at least lessen, some of the odor. A fresh citrus scent can help get rid of odor in your shoes. It can also leave them with a pleasant scent. Place a couple of orange peels in each shoe and leave the shoes overnight. By...

Article in English: Black widow spiders are found across the U.S and Canada, and in other temperate regions around the world. They are the most venomous spiders in North America. The female is the easiest to recognize -- and the most dangerous. She is coal-black, with a spherical abdomen and a red hourglass-shaped mark on her belly. Her body is approximately half an inch long, but she has a total length of 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) with her legs extended.  The male is about half the size of the female and is brown or grey. He usually has several red dots on his abdomen and may have a yellow or red band across his back. Male black widow spiders are not venomous. Young black widows, known as spiderlings, are white or yellow-white when they first hatch. They become darker as they grow. They may have yellow or red patches across their backs, resembling the adult male. It is impossible to tell male and female spiderlings apart. At this stage, both are harmless to humans. The black widow spider is timid and reclusive, preferring to make its home in dark, protected areas, such as in boxes, among firewood and under ledges. It is nocturnal, actively hunting at night.  The black widow spider's web is usually located within a foot of the ground. It is slightly erratic in appearance and made with stronger silk than most other spider webs. The web is used to catch prey and to hang the female's cocoon of eggs. Black widows are usually found in dark corners of the house or around the edges of a yard or garage where their webs will have a lesser chance of being disturbed. They may also be found under vehicles, even those that are being driven periodically. Check for webs near the tires, or under/around the engine. Black Widows are territorial, so their webs are often spaced about a foot apart. Female Black Widow spiders have very powerful venom -- in fact, it is said to be15 times stronger than that of a rattlesnake. The venom is a neurotoxin. Symptoms include muscle aches, abdominal pain, breathing difficulties and nausea. The majority of Black...

Article in English: Black widow spiders have fangs. When bitten, two small puncture wounds are usually visible.  As the venom from the bite spreads, the area develops a target-like appearance. The fang marks are in the center, surrounded by an area of reddened skin, then another circle of red just a little further beyond the center. The fang marks are visible immediately. Redness and swelling of the area where the bite occurred develops rapidly, usually within an hour. Pain typically starts within the hour and can quickly spread from the site to systemic areas such as the abdomen, chest area, or back. This is not always the case, but this is the classic description for the pattern that develops from a black widow spider bite. The treating physician will want to know what caused the bite/sting/injury. Safety is always the priority. If you can safely capture the spider, place it a container that does not present a risk of injury to anyone else. A small glass jar or plastic container with a lid, placed inside another container with a secured lid and handle, such as a small cooler, can help to make it easy to transport the spider.  Clearly no one needs to be put at risk of being bitten. If it can be done safely, capture the spider and safely take it with you to the medical facility. Presenting the spider that did the biting can help in initiating the most effective treatment as quickly as possible. Carrying around a black widow spider might not be the best plan, so at least take very clear pictures of whatever bit you, if you can do so safely. Most people that are bitten by a spider, including a venomous one like a black widow, do not have any serious medical problems as a result.  Symptoms that can result from a black widow bite include severe and intense pain, stiffness, muscle cramps, abdominal cramps, back pain, excessive sweating, and hypertension. Both topical and systemic reactions to the venom from a black widow spider can develop and spread quickly. Seek treatment as soon as possible once you confirm, or are fairly sure,...

Article in English: Black widows hole up in seldom-disturbed areas, such as woodpiles, storage boxes, the back of closets, and so on.  Not only will cleaning these areas eliminate potential habitats, you'll also get rid of areas for black widow prey to live.  Wear gardening gloves.  Just in case you do stumble over a spider, your hands will be safe from bites. De-clutter.  If you have unnecessary boxes, wood or other items crowding your house, getting rid of them can remove potential hiding places. Vacuum.  If you have a vacuum cleaner with a hose attachment, use it to clean out dark nooks and crannies.  If you see a web without a spider in it, the vacuum is your best bet.  Just be sure to seal the bag and dispose of it (outside the house) as soon as you're done so nothing can escape back into your home. Spray down the outside of your house.  Use a high-pressure hose to destroy webs and egg sacs.  Pay particular attention to window wells, window frames, and door frames. Clear vegetation that is in direct contact with your home. Ivy and other plant life on your house or around its perimeter provide a home for these pests. Clean regularly. Chores like vacuuming and keeping your living area clean aid in preventing spider infestation. Vacuuming is especially important because it clears out dust, eggs and the spiders themselves. The best method to avoid black widows is prevention. By keeping your doors and windows caulked, you are taking an important step in preventing spiders and other insects from getting into your home. Weatherproofing your exits is also very helpful. If you suspect that your black widow problem is bigger than you can handle on your own, call a professional who's licensed to use heavier insecticides.   If possible, ask around a few different businesses for quotes depending on the size of your house and the suspected severity of the infestation.

Summary in Russian:

Очистите потенциальные места сокрытия. Предотвратите появление пауков в вашем доме. Позвоните профессиональному дезинсектору.


Article in English: Black widows spend a lot of time on their webs, whether it's to guard an egg sac or wait for prey.  Sprinkle a non-repellant insecticidal dust over the web when you find it — the dust will eventually kill the spider.  Return to the web to make sure the spider is dead, and dispose of both in a sealed plastic bag. A wettable powder applied to corners and nooks will prevent the formation of new webs, making it harder for the black widows to catch prey and thrive.

Article in English: Blackheads should be removed with comedone extractors, whereas whiteheads will need to be pierced with a sharp lancet first before removing them with an extractor. The most common acne tool used is a comedone extractor with two ends, each of a different size. You can then pick the size that is most appropriate to the size of the blackhead you are extracting from your face.  While another option is an acne tool where one side is a blackhead remover, and the other side is a sharp lancet to pop open whiteheads prior to removing them, this takes more skill to use. Keep in mind that it is best to avoid popping whiteheads due to the risk of infection. If you have many whiteheads, then see a dermatologist. If you are inexperienced at popping whiteheads with a sharp lancet, your best bet may be to get this done by a professional dermatologist (skin specialist) or aesthetician. If you use the lancet improperly, it may result in scarring or other damage to your face. On the other hand, the side of the tool used for blackheads is much safer and can be used at home. You can remove blackheads by centering the loop of the comedone extractor over the pimple you want to remove, and rocking the tool gently from side to side while applying slight pressure. The blackhead in its entirety will be pulled from the follicle and you will see oil ooze from the pore. If the blackhead does not come out with gentle pressure, then do not try to force it. This can lead to an infection and scarring. See a dermatologist if you have a severe blackhead that you cannot remove easily. To remove whiteheads, you will need to start by piercing the whitehead with the lancet to break it open. Once the whitehead is broken open, you will want to centre it within the loop of the comedone extractor and rock the tool gently from side to side, again applying slight pressure until it is pulled from the follicle. If you have any reservations about using the lancet, it is worthwhile investing in seeing either a dermatologist or an aesthetician who is...

Article in English: Blanching cauliflower will destroy enzymes that cause it to break down and lose its color and flavor. To blanch cauliflower, bring enough water to cover the cauliflower to a rolling boil in a large pot. Neglecting to blanch the cauliflower before freezing it will probably result in mushy, discolored cauliflower when you thaw it later. It's worth the effort to blanch it first. While the water is coming to a boil, place ice cubes and water in a bowl large enough to hold the cauliflower. You'll plunge the blanched cauliflower into the water after boiling it to immediately stop it from overcooking. Boil it for 3 minutes, which is long enough to kill the enzymes that ruin the cauliflower's flavor over time. If you have too much cauliflower to fit in the pot all at once, blanch it in patches. Use a slotted spoon to move it from the pot to the bath of ice, to stop it from overcooking. After about 3 minutes, you can drain the water and ice away. The cauliflower is now ready to freeze.

Article in English: Blanching is the process of boiling something for a short period of time and then plunging it into an ice bath. The boiling will loosen the tomato skins, and the ice bath will stop the cooking process. Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.  Use a small pot if you're just peeling a few tomatoes, and a larger pot if you have many tomatoes to peel. The blanching method is very effective, and it works well when you have to peel many tomatoes. Fill a bowl halfway with ice, and then fill it the rest of the way with water. Place the ice bath near the stove, so the tomatoes won’t have far to go when you remove them from the boiling water. A small bowl of ice water will do if you're just peeling a few tomatoes. For larger batches of tomatoes, use a larger bowl filled with ice and water.

Article in English: Bleach can corrode and discolor stainless steel. You should not use liquid bleach if you are cleaning a stainless steel dishwasher. Use a measuring cup to measure out exactly a cup of liquid bleach. Transfer the bleach into a bowl or a glass and place it in the top of your dishwasher. Once you're done, close the dishwasher door. Run a full cycle on the highest heat setting. The bleach will be tossed throughout the interior of your washing machine during the cycle. This will remove any mold or mildew on the inside of your dishwasher.

Article in English: Bleach painting is a fun, easy, and inexpensive way to create a design on a t-shirt, especially text based designs. But, remember bleach is toxic, so keep it out of reach of children.  Always protect your eyes, clothing, and any open cuts from coming into contact with bleach. If you have sensitive skin, you should wear thin kitchen gloves while bleach painting. You will need:  Fabric safe household bleach A synthetic bristle paint brush (go for an inexpensive one, as you’ll just be bleaching it anyway!) A glass or ceramic bowl A white towel or rag White chalk A piece of cardboard A dark colored cotton blend shirt You can try this method on a lighter colored shirt, but the bleach painting will show up better on darker colors. Then, slide the piece of cardboard inside your shirt. It will act as an even surface as you write your design. It will also stop the bleach from bleeding through the back of your shirt. This could be your favorite saying (“Bazinga!” “Reach for the Stars”), the name of your band, or the logo of your brand. Don’t worry if you need the smudge out the chalk lines and re-sketch the design. The chalk lines will wash out once you’ve completed the bleach painting. Secure the shirt to the cardboard with elastics or small clips. This will keep the cardboard from slipping while you bleach paint. Pour a few cups of the bleach into the glass or ceramic bowl. Use a towel to wipe up any drips. You don’t want any drops of bleach to end up on your clothing. Drag it on the edge of the bowl to eliminate any dripping. For an even bleach line, reload your brush every two inches. The fabric will quickly soak up the liquid so work quickly, but with a steady hand. Then, take a break to allow the bleach to react with the fabric of the shirt. Look over the shirt. Are there any uneven spots or light areas? If so, go back in with your bleach filled brush and even out the design. This will allow the bleach to process and lighten. Depending on the cotton content of your shirt, the color of your design will range from...

Article in English: Bleach, and especially vinegar, do well to break up the tars and resins in cigarette smoke. The smell of bleach and vinegar may be off putting at first, but unlike smoke, these odors will dissipate in time.  Mix equal parts of white distilled vinegar and warm water to create a cleaning solution. Mix 1/2 cup (115 mL) of chlorine bleach to 1 gallon (4 L) of water to clean surfaces like sinks, showers, bathtubs, countertops, glazed tile, vinyl, and floors. Always rinse surfaces with water thoroughly after cleaning, before use. Do not use bleach on the same surface that you applied the vinegar mixture to. You may need a ladder to reach all the washable surfaces in your house. Don't forget to wash down interiors of closets and cabinets as well as the walls of the basements, hallways, cupboards, and drawers. Put the vinegar in a spray bottle and wipe it clean with a rag. Follow up by rinsing with water and drying with a clean rag, if the furniture is delicate. Place several drops of lavender, citrus, or rosemary essential oil to offset the smell of the vinegar. If you do not choose to do this, the vinegar smell will dissipate as it deodorizes furniture. Simply wipe them or wash them in mild soap. You may want to remove them from the home until all surfaces are clean and deodorized.

Article in English: Bleaching is a very powerful method of removing hair color. However, because bleach is harsh on hair, only bleach if you've tried other methods. You should also get bleaching done at a salon by a professional. Usually, you will have to add hair dye over the bleach to return to your natural hair color. Another less harsh option is to do a bleach wash, which is when you mix shampoo with bleach. Some methods of hair removal can be harsh on your hair, leaving it dry. If you've removed the dye yourself, but your hair feels brittle, get a hot oil treatment at your local salon. This can help revitalize your hair. If hey don't offer hot oil treatments at your salon, then ask for a deep conditioning treatment. If all else fails, see a stylist. They can remove the hair dye in a professional setting. However, this is often costly. It makes sense to attempt to remove the dye yourself first before going to a salon for help.

Article in English: Bleaching is an effective method for hiding mustache hairs that are too short to wax. If you don’t want to wait for your upper lip hair to grow out to a quarter of an inch (0.6 cm), bleach the hair to make it less visible. Bleaching is best used on fine hair and is often ineffective on very coarse hair. Visit a beauty supply store to pick out a cream bleach. Be sure to only choose bleach that is recommended for use on the face, or your skin may become irritated. If possible, choose a bleach that's appropriate for your skin type (i.e. oily, dry, etc.). Before applying the bleach, make sure your skin is clean by washing it with soap and water, or use your regular face wash to cleanse the area. Avoid exfoliating facial cleansers since applying bleach right after it may irritate your skin. Follow the instructions on the product packaging and do not exceed the recommended amount of time. Your skin could become irritated or damaged if you do. Generally, bleaching cream should not be used on the skin for more than ten minutes at a time. Lather your fingers with soap and cold water, and then gently rub your upper lip to wash away the rest of the bleach residue. Pat your face dry with a paper towel rather than a nice hand towel, just in case there’s any bleach remaining on your face.

Article in English: Bleeding means different things throughout pregnancy. If you are bleeding heavily and have severe abdominal pain and menstrual-like cramps or feel like you are going to faint during first trimester, it could be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg implants somewhere other than the uterus, and can be life-threatening. Heavy bleeding with cramping could also be a sign of miscarriage in first or early second trimester. These are the terms used to describe the approximate amount of vaginal bleeding:  Heavy vaginal bleeding: greater than the heaviest normal menstrual flow. Moderate vaginal bleeding: equal to heaviest menstrual flow. Light vaginal bleeding: less than the heaviest menstrual flow. It's very common for women to have some nausea when pregnant. However, if this nausea becomes severe, it may be a sign of something more serious.  If you can’t eat or drink anything, you run the risk of becoming dehydrated. Being malnourished and dehydrated can harm the baby. If the you experiences severe nausea, it's important to tell your health care provider. The doctor may prescribe medication or advise you to change your diet. A doctor will usually ask you to lie your side to see if this gets the baby moving. Counting kicks can also help.  As a general rule, you should feel 10 or more kicks in two hours. Anything less should prompt a phone call to your doctor. The doctor has monitoring equipment that can be used to determine if the baby is moving and growing appropriately. Symptoms such as a persistent, severe headache, abdominal pain, visual disturbances, and swelling during your third trimester could be a sign of preeclampsia.  Preeclampsia is a serious condition that develops during pregnancy and is potentially fatal. The disorder is marked by high blood pressure and excess protein in the the urine, typically occurring after the 20th week of pregnancy. If you suspect preeclampsia, you should call your doctor right away and get your blood pressure tested. Good prenatal care...

Article in English: Blend the dry seasonings—garlic powder, salt, and pepper—in a small bowl, and dust the salmon evenly with that. Blend the lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and vegetable oil until it is well blended and the sugar is dissolved, and then pour into a large Ziploc plastic bag with the fish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, and no more than 4. Turn occasionally to mix things up. For a charcoal grill, heap the coals to the side so you have a hot area and a warm area. Consider using real wood charcoal, as the briquettes impart a chemical taste to delicate meats. For a gas grill, set the temperature to medium heat: 325° F (160° C).  Discard the marinade.  Place the salmon on the hottest part of the grill to get grill marks on it—it only takes a minute or so on each side.

Article in English: Blend the ice cream, milk, and candy until the mixture becomes smooth and pourable. Depending on the size of your candy pieces, you might have to try a higher blender setting if your candy pieces are bigger. If your candy pieces are relatively small, the normal blending settings should work just fine. Be sure to put on the top of the blender, so you don't splash milk and ice cream everywhere. The texture of your ShakeAway is all about your personal preference. Normally, ShakeAways have a consistency where the candy pieces are small enough to fit through a straw, and the ice cream, milk, and candy can be eaten with a spoon, but still thin enough to immediately spill if knocked over. A general rule of thumb is, blend the mixture less to have a thicker ShakeAway, or blend it more to have a thinner, smoother ShakeAway. To top off your ShakeAway, consider adding a dollop or two of whipped cream and/or sprinkle some of your whole pieces of candy or leftover bits for a crunchy topping.

Article in English: Blending the onion for 1 minute should be enough to puree the onion, but every blender works a little differently. If you still have notable pieces of onion in your blender, stop the blender, open the lid, and push the pieces down toward the blades using a rubber spatula. Replace the lid and continue blending at 30 second intervals at high speed until completely blended. The strainer should be small enough to fit inside the bowl, but if possible, large enough to rest on the lip of the bowl. Otherwise, hold the strainer over the mouth of the bowl with one hand.

Article in English: Blind people memorize where the furniture is in homes, classrooms, offices and other places they frequently go to. Moving the furniture around could be confusing and possibly unsafe.  If you do move it, tell the person exactly how the layout of the room has changed. Avoid leaving obstacles in the person’s path. Don’t leave doors open. Don’t have stacks of clutter on the floor. If the person has asked for assistance in walking from one place to another, offer your arm by touching their hand to the back of your arm, just above the elbow. This is a comfortable place for the person to hold your arm as you walk.  When you start to move, walk a half step ahead, and at a moderate/slow pace.  When you're guiding someone, you need to walk slower than you'd normally walk. Walking too fast could cause the person to trip. If the person uses a guide dog or cane, walk on the opposite side. As you walk, talk about what you're encountering. If you come to a curb, say "curb up" or "curb down" to let the person know they need to step. Be very specific and describe things in terms of where they are. If a blind person asks you for directions, it’s not very helpful to point and say “over there.” Instead, describe how to get there by speaking in terms of distance.  For example, say “The bodega is three blocks away. Turn left out the door, walk two blocks north, turn right, and you’ll find it at the end of the block on the right side of the street." Describing directions in terms of landmarks isn’t very helpful to a non-local, either. Saying “it’s just past the gas station” won’t be useful to someone who isn’t familiar with the area. Describe things in the person’s path. Alert them to the presence of low-hanging branches and other obstacles they won’t be able to see. The best way to do this is to pull out a chair and place the person’s hands on the back of it, so they can be seated. As you do so, describe the height of the chair and which way it's facing. Don’t steer someone backward into a chair, since they could lose balance....

Article in English: Blindly committing to a big decision may lead to consequences you might regret later.  This is also the tact some people use to lure people into making a commitment without fully considering the ramifications, such as a real estate agent, a prospective employer, or a partner.  A spontaneous decision often is a poorly considered one.  Do not make a decision based on one person's opinion because you are afraid will make the wrong one. If you are indecisive, a person who has something to gain from you may turn that against you. They'll assure you that it is the right one, what are you waiting for? But if a person is afraid or scornful of waiting for another opinion, or doing research, or otherwise weighing your options...that is a warning sign. Beware of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). FOMO can mean that you are afraid that if you do not act now, you will miss out on an opportunity that will never present itself again. Chances are good that is not the case. Keep in mind that people who try to force you to quickly make a decision instead of giving you time to make an educated choice are often doing so precisely because they don’t want you to do any outside research; they don’t want you to be able to call their bluff. While you may not want to be a completely skeptical person just to avoid being gullible, if you tend to be too naive, then you should work on being a bit more critical when you approach a situation. Whether your older brother is telling you a story about your neighbor or a telemarketer is trying to offer you a discount on your phone plan, you should work on having your guard up and asking yourself and the person you’re with whether the information could possibly be true.  Sure, this may make some social situations a bit more unpleasant than they would be if you were agreeable and went along with everything a person said, but this will keep you from being gullible. Whenever you’re given a new piece of information, ask yourself how much you can rely on the source, how likely it is to be true, and what...

Summary in Russian:

Не спешите, принимать важные решения. Будьте более скептическим. Заставьте людей заработать ваше доверие. Не спешите с выводами. Избегайте всего того, что звучит слишком хорошо, чтобы быть правдой. Возможно, неплохо быть легковерным, однако,  лучше поработать над собой, чтобы быть менее доверчивым. Не полагайтесь на бытующее мнение.


Article in English: Blister burns can occur anywhere on the body. The most common causes of blister burns, also known as second degree burns, are:  Touching a hot object Fires Scalding from steam or hot liquids such as cooking oils Electrical burns Chemical burns Blisters occur whenever you burn your skin. The type of burn you have will depend on the severity of the burn. First degree burns affect the topmost layer of skin and appear reddish and swollen.  First degree burns are painful but are considered minor. They do not usually produce blisters, but they may peel. First degree burns are dry, and usually take three to five days to heal. Second degree burns are the next level of severity. They are considered minor as long as they are less than three inches wide in diameter. Second degree burns affect surface layer and the next few under layers of the skin. Blisters are often common with second degree burns.  Second degree burns are painful and often form blisters and are red or pink. They may look swollen or have a pocket of clear, wet liquid. If more severe, a second degree burn can be dry with a reduced level of feeling in the area. If you apply pressure, the skin will not turn white or turn white very slowly.  Second degree burns usually heal within two to three weeks. Blistering burns larger than three inches should be seen at an ER or by your physician as soon as possible. If a second degree burn is on the hands, feet, face, groin, a major joint, or the buttocks, see your physician or go to the ER right away. Older individuals and children should be seen at the ER for any second degree burn because complications are more common in these groups. The most severe burns are third degree burns. Third degree burns are considered a major burn because the skin layers are destroyed and should be seen immediately at an ER. These burns affect the deepest part of the skin and cause whitened or blackened skin.  The burnt areas may be black or white. They also will be dry and leathery.  These burns are often painless at first because...

Определите причины возникновения волдырей. Определите наличие ожога первой степени. Определите наличие ожога второй степени. Обратитесь за медицинской помощью при ожогах третьей степени. Посчитайте количество волдырей.


Article in English: Blistering burns can be very painful and swollen. Taking aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium or acetaminophen may reduce your discomfort from pain and swelling. Follow contraindications and dosing instructions from your doctor or the product labelling. Keep your bandages as clean and dry. Change them at least once every day. If you notice any oozing or wetness, put on a new bandage. This can protect the blistered burn and prevent infection. Soak a dressing stuck to the burn or blister in clean, cool water or saline. Bumping into and touching things as well as putting friction and pressure on your finger can make a blister pop. This can disrupt the healing process and lead to infection. Use your other hand or fingers and avoid wearing anything tight against the area. Blistering burns can become infected, including with tetanus. If you haven’t had a booster tetanus shot in 10 years, ask your doctor to give you one. This may prevent you from developing tetanus because of the burn. Your burn may take some time to heal. In some cases, you could develop an infection, as burns can easily become infected. This could lead to bigger problems such as losing mobility in your finger. Seek immediate medical attention if you have any of the following signs of infection in your wound:  Oozing pus Increased pain, redness and/or swelling Fever

Summary in Russian:

Примите обезболивающее средство. Меняйте повязку ежедневно. Старайтесь не сдавливать и не растирать место ожога. Оцените необходимость введения противостолбнячной сыворотки. Внимательно следите, не начался ли на месте ожога воспалительный процесс.


Article in English: Blisters commonly form on feet, often due to poorly-fitting shoes. Shoes that are either too big or too small for your feet can apply pressure and friction to areas of your skin and cause blisters.  Buy shoes in the middle of the day, when your feet have swollen a little bit but not as much as at the end of the day. Ask a salesperson to help you determine your proper shoe size. Blisters often form when your skin stays in contact with moisture. Avoid foot blisters by keeping your feet dry. Wear moisture-wicking socks when you're going to sweat. Change your socks and shoes when they get wet. You can also dust the inside of your socks with talcum powder to absorb moisture. If you know an area of your skin is likely to rub on something - your shoe, a piece of sporting equipment, etc. - apply a layer of moleskin over the area. This can help prevent the friction that causes blisters. If you have a mild blister, it can also keep the area protected enough to prevent the blister from popping or tearing. If you already have a blister, stop doing whatever caused it. Wear a different pair of shoes, for instance. Avoid doing the activity that irritated your skin - continuing to do so could make your blister worse or cause it to pop. You can resume the activity when your blister heals. Hands are another common area for blisters. Protect your hands with gloves if you're playing a sport, gardening, using tools, or doing something repetitive with your hands. Your gloves should fit snugly but not be constricting.  Rowers often get hand blisters, and should use gloves or a soft wrap to protect their skin.

Summary in Russian:

Носите обувь своего размера. Следите за тем, чтобы ноги оставались сухими. Приклеивайте пластырь из молескина к чувствительным местам. Перестаньте делать то, из-за чего появился волдырь. Надевайте перчатки, когда работаете руками.


Article in English: Blockers are players on the opposing team whose job it is to block your spike from getting over the net. No matter how powerful you strike the ball, if you plow it right into a blocker, you probably won't be earning a point for your team. It's important to keep your eye on the ball, but you also have to learn to see blockers out of the corners of your eyes so you can avoid them at the net.  The best way to practice seeing blockers is to practice with opposing players. During your spiking practice, have teammates try to block your spikes. You can avoid blockers by correctly aiming your strikes out of their reach. Remember to snap your wrist during your follow through so that the ball has topspin; this will make it harder for blockers to successfully block the ball.

Article in English: Blogs fall into various large categories, and considering some of these categories can help you narrow down your interests. Remember: for you to make money, people have to read your blog. Here are some popular blog genres:   Personal blogs. Successful personal blogs almost give readers the impression that they know you. They can feel like a lunchtime chat with the blogger, or an insight into their daily life. If you are good at expressing your personality online, this could be a good genre for you. For a good example, see “The Bloggess,” a blog that provides a humorous and entertaining look into the daily life of a woman with social anxiety.    Special Interest Blogs. These blogs can offer tips and tricks about your favorite hobby. They can share knowledge about a topic you’re passionate about. These work especially well if you have a unique perspective you can bring to your topic.  For a good example, see “Curly Nikki,” a blog by a Black woman who is passionate about helping other women learn to love their natural hair.  Another good example is the famous “Perez Hilton,” a phenomenally successful celebrity gossip blog focused on dishing the dirt about famous people.     Industry Blogs. These are specialized to a particular field or industry. They’re a good choice if you’re already an expert on something and want to share that expertise. Because you have to constantly stay on top of new information and developments in that industry, you need to make sure you’re comfortable with researching and understanding your topic. For a good example, see “The Copybot,” a marketing blog by copywriter Damien Farnworth. He tackles how to write the best copy for online sites with lots of concrete examples and helpful lists.    Political Blogs. If you have an informed perspective on politics you’d like to share, or you want to communicate your political views in an interesting, entertaining way, a political blog could be a good choice for you. Political blogs often take a particular “side,” but they don’t have to.  For...

Article in English: Blonde hair is a large undertaking. Your hair will need a lot of maintenance to keep it looking healthy, and you will need to spend time and money every few weeks filling in roots or getting touch ups. If you are not prepared for the responsibility of blonde hair, think about going a few shades lighter instead of anything drastic. Before you do any kind of dye job, it is important to prep your hair. Avoid washing your hair the day before you dye it, as the natural oils help protect your scalp from irritation from the products. This step is essential. Dyeing your hair strips it of its pigment and lipids, which dries it out. Switch your regular conditioner for a deep conditioner. If your hair is dry, use a moisture product; if it is brittle and damaged, use a damage product. Use dry shampoo so you don't have to wash it every day and dry it out. Use conditioning masks when you wash your hair.  If you go platinum or ice blonde, use shampoos that contain blue pigment to maintain the color. Choose a color-care or bleach-safe shampoo and conditioner to preserve color. Try putting coconut oil on your hair once a week. Melt it down and put it on your hair, wrap your hair in plastic wrap, cover it in a towel, and leave on for about an hour. Bleaching your hair can damage it, so to keep your hair healthy, cut it right after you dye it. This removes the dead ends, which can lead to breaking. Straightening, blow drying and curling your dyed hair can damage it, so make sure to use a heat-protecting product before you grab the curling iron. Stay away from styling products that contain alcohol. Alcohol dries out your hair, which is a problem with bleached and dyed hair. Hairsprays, gels, and mouses all contain alcohol. Check the label before buying and putting it on your hair. Unless you don't mind your roots growing in, you probably want to get them touched up regularly. Plan on touching them up every 4-6 weeks.

Summary in Russian:

Будьте готовы тратить свое время и деньги на уход за светлыми волосами. Подготовьте ваши волосы к покраске. Воспользуйтесь кондиционером для волос после покраски. Подстригите волосы после покраски. Избегайте нагревательных приборов. Подкрашивайте отросшие корни волос.


Article in English: Blonde hair needs more attention than other hair colors. Keep in mind that transitioning more than two shades lighter or darker will require a stronger effort to maintain. When your roots begin to grow out, you will need to use the same professional process to do a touch up. If high maintenance is an issue, err on the side of caution when deciding to go blonde or not. Do not attempt to bleach or tone your hair at home. Bleach is an extremely harsh chemical that strips your hair follicles. You will need to pay a saloon professional to transition you to blonde and for all of the maintenance visits. While a DIY color job might be the cheaper option, bleaching at home can create a hair horror that you won't want to deal with. You can easily fry your hair, turn it orange or lose all of its volume. To be safe, you will have to be able to afford to see a professional. To keep your hair at the desired shade and your roots matching, you need to touch it up every four to six weeks. When your roots start to show, you will need to bleach and tone them to match your hair. Also, you will need to have your hair trimmed at almost every visit for blonde hair causes split ends. If you are going to a saloon for touch-ups, which is highly recommend, this endeavor becomes pretty pricey. Consider the long term expenses and be sure you have not only the time for saloon visits, but also the money it will take to maintain your blonde hair. Going all blonde at once is not recommended. It is natural to become excited about having an all blonde look, but it is important you work your way up to an all over color. Depending on how dark or damaged your current hair is, your saloon professional is going to want to gradually lighten your hair using blonde highlights and then slowly build on them over time. This prevents your hair from going into shock and breaking off.  Most stylists will deny a full coverage bleach job because they know how damaging it is to your hair. Your stylist is going to ask you about past color treatments and process...

Article in English: Blood and bacteria from your cut will soil the old bandage, and it needs to be changed at least once a day to avoid infection. Also change the bandage anytime it gets wet or dirty. Even though cleaning your wound thoroughly and keeping it covered helps prevent infections, they can still occur. Keep an eye out for these signs and talk to your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms.  Increased pain around the area. Redness, swelling, or warmth around the cut. Drainage of pus from the wound. A foul smell. A fever of 100 degrees or more for over 4 hours. Cuts usually take 3-7 days to heal, or up to 2 weeks for more serious wounds. If your wound is taking too long to heal, there may be an infection or some other problem. If a week has gone by and your wound doesn't seem to be healing, see your doctor.

Article in English: Blood clots are life threatening, so medical action must be taken to dissolve them as quickly as possible. Anticoagulant medications interrupt the process of clot formation. There are several different types on the market, including:  Enoxaparin (Lovenox). Enoxaparin is a medication injected to thin the blood immediately. The typical dose for adults is 40 mg injected into a fatty area of the body, such as the arm or abdomen. Warfarin (Coumadin). Warfarin is an anticoagulation pill, which acts as a blood thinner. The dosage depends on the particular patient. To determine the dosage and administration, your doctor may perform a test for blood clotting known as the International Normalized Ratio, or INR. Heparin. Heparin is a traditional anticoagulant medication, given intravenously to prevent the growth of blood clots. The dose depends on your particular circumstances; your doctor should perform blood test measurements to determine dosage. Thrombolytic drugs, also known as “clot busters,” dissolve the fibrin strands that hold clots together. Dosage varies depending on your particular circumstances and on hospital protocols. Talk to your doctor about the right dosage for you. If medication alone cannot eliminate the clot, you will need surgery. There are a few types of surgeries that might apply:  Cardiac catheterization. For blood clots in the heart, cardiac catheterization is performed to locate the clot. A balloon is inserted to open the blockage, and then a stent is placed to keep the appropriate vessel open. The pressure from the balloon and the stent breaks the blood clot into smaller pieces, restoring the flow of blood.  Catheter-directed thrombolysis. A catheter-directed thrombolysis is a surgical procedure in which a catheter is inserted directly to the blood clot, releasing medication to dissolve it.  Thrombectomy. A thrombectomy is simply the surgical removal of the blood clot itself. It is often performed with thrombolysis is ineffective, or when there is an emergency condition requiring immediate treatment.

Article in English: Blood clots sometimes form for no discernible reason, but certain conditions and situations increase your risk. The first of these is prolonged immobility. If you are on bed rest or sit and cross your legs for a long period of time, you may increase the risk of blood clots forming, particularly in your arms and legs. Extended travel in an airplane or car can minimize muscle movement, increasing the risk of blood clots forming in the veins. In pregnant women, the growing uterus slows the blood flow circling back to the heart. This can increase the risk of a blood clot forming, especially in the legs or pelvis. Women who have delivered babies very recently remain at an increased risk. You need sufficient water in your body to make blood circulation effective. If you become dehydrated, your blood can become thicker, making it easier for clots to form. Estrogen and progesterone can increase clotting factors, leading to an increased risk of clots. Hormonal contraception (like the birth control pill) and hormone therapy both introduce these hormones into the body. Intravenous catheters are foreign bodies. When one is inserted into a vein, it can affect your blood circulation, leading to a clot. Certain conditions can irritate the bladder lining, causing bleeding and the development of clots, which can be passed through the urine. These conditions include:  Cancer. Liver disease. Kidney disease. When the body is hurt, either by an accidental injury or by a surgical procedure, excessive bleeding (and clotting) can result. In addition, the extended period of rest that usually follows surgeries and injuries increases the risk of a clot forming. People who are significantly overweight or obese often have a buildup of cholesterol in the body. As a result, the arteries narrow, causing the formation of blood clots. Smoking causes plaque to form in the blood vessels, narrowing them and leading to clots. If you have a personal or family history of clotting disorders, you are at an increased risk of developing clots. A...

Article in English: Blood type is seen as a common indicator of personality in Japan. You can use this as a way to help decide what you want your character to be like. The blood types and associated personalities are:  O - confident, optimistic and strong-willed but also self-centered and unpredictable A - creative, reserved and responsible but also stubborn and tense B - active and passionate but also selfish and irresponsible AB - adaptable and rational but also forgetful and critical The Western Zodiac or the Eastern Zodiac can both also be used to determine personality. You can use this to choose your character's age or birth year and their birth date. If you really want to get an idea for a fully formed personality, you can check out the Myers-Briggs personality test. These personality types, based in the study of psychology, can be helpful in fleshing out your character's personality. You'll also want to be sure to balance your character's personality. A balance of positive and negative traits is necessary to create a compelling, believable character. Count up your character's negative traits and positive traits and try to make the negative traits slightly outnumber the positive ones. By the end of your story, your character will have developed to overcome a few of the negative traits. Example negative traits include:  Manipulative Often lies Insults others Uncaring about their impact on others Focused on only their own goals Has poor impulse control Frequently resentful, even of small  or accidental slights Is usually reckless or impulsive Many people also believe that someone's name can affect their personality. Studies show that having an uncommon name can lead to bullying and the personality issues that result from being bullied. There are also people who believe a name can determine your whole personality (called Kabalarians). This, whether true or not, can help you decide on a name. Try to avoid using really unusual names in an otherwise realistic setting. This makes your character seem out of place.

Article in English: Blot a small stain with cold water to make sure it doesn’t run. You can also run it under a faucet of streaming cold water. If the stain is large, submerge it into a bowl or basin of cold water.  Do not use warm or hot water. This will make the stain worse. If the stain does run, you will need to treat the run as part of the stain. You can use regular hand soap or bar soap for this. Lather the stain gently by rubbing it with a sponge. Then, rinse the soap out in cold water. Reapply soap and repeat the process if needed. If you see that the stain has let up, you can wash it as normal. Make sure to wash it alone. Use the same detergent as you normally would. Do not, however, use warm water on the washing machine cycle. The heat from a tumbler dryer can prevent the stain from fading completely, so do not put the clothing in the dryer. Instead, hang it up so that it can air dry. Once it is dry, you can store the clothing away or wear it. Repeat the process or try another method if the stain hasn’t faded completely. Do not iron the clothing if the blood stain is still visible.

Article in English: Blotting papers are sold at most drugstores and cosmetic stores. They're an easy method to quickly remove oil from your nose. Simply add a small touch of translucent powder to the papers. Gently dab the papers against your nose to remove excess oil. A gentle water-soluble facial cleanser is an excellent way to remove oil from all over your face, including your nose. If oily skin is a problem, pick up a basic cleanser at a drug store. Wash your face in the morning and before bed. Some people have negative reactions to over-the-counter products. If you notice any redness or skin irritation after trying a cleanser, switch to a different product. Use a mineral-based sunblock in place of your morning moisturizer. Apply it all over your face, including on your nose. A solid sunblock helps prevent oil from building up in your face and also protects your skin from the sun. Look for a sunblock containing zinc, titanium dioxide, or denatured alcohol. Most drug stores and department stores sell exfoliating cleansers. These are cleansers with a rough texture you rub into the skin to help remove loose skin cells. If you exfoliate your nose, and the rest of your face, regularly, this can help prevent clogged pores that can cause oiliness. Exfoliate only once a week. Too much exfoliating can cause skin damage. Purchase a clay or salicylic acid mask online or at a beauty salon. Apply the mask as directed. These masks can prevent oil buildup in the skin, resulting in a less oily nose.  Follow the directions on your mask to apply. Different masks are applied differently. As with any product, there is always a risk of a negative reaction. If you notice problems, like a rash or skin irritation, after using a mask, pick a different product.

Article in English: Blow drying and hot water can strip the color from your hair, leaving your dyed locks looking faded or tired. If you live in a region that has hot weather and bright, sunny days, you may also want to wear hats to protect your hair from the sun, which can bleach color from it. Even "permanent" hair dyes won't last forever. Eventually that color is going to fade, though with a color like green, there will likely always be some remaining tinge to your hair until you cut it. Infrequent washings will help protect the color of your hair and make it last longer.  You should also avoid chlorinated pools. This chemical can sometimes alter the hue of your hair color or cause it to fade rapidly. You may want to try using dry shampoo so that your hair feels clean but is spared the color sapping effects of water. When you do wash your hair, you should use cold water to prevent dye from leeching from your hair as much as possible. You may also want to change your shampoo to one that is formulated to protect color after dyeing. These can be found at most salons or pharmacies. To keep your dye-job looking fresh, you may want to use leftover dye to touch up your hair every two to four weeks. In some cases, you may be able to mix in your coloring agent with your conditioner to freshen it up without having to go through the trouble of the whole redyeing process. Touching up your hair with conditioner and remaining dye works best with intense and vibrant colors. Pastel colors don't usually stick very well when only washed through your hair.

Article in English: Blow into the recorder to get an idea of how it will sound. You will need to blow gently. Think about blowing bubbles as you do this. Blowing softly with a steady stream of air is one of the most difficult but important techniques as you begin to play recorder.  If you blow too hard, you will produce a sharp, unpleasant sound. Blow more gently in order to produce a musical sound. Breathe from the diaphragm and make sure you blow evenly. It will help to keep the sound consistent. When playing a note on the recorder, you should start and stop the sound with your tongue. Put your tongue on the roof of your mouth behind your teeth.  The sound should start and stop there. The first note that people usually learn is B. This requires that you cover the back hole with your left thumb. Now take your left index finger and cover the first hole on the uppermost side under the mouthpiece. Use your right thumb to balance the recorder. Now blow gently into the mouthpiece, remembering to say "ta" or "too". Well done! The sound you just made was a B note.  If the note does not come out, or it squeaks, make sure that your fingers are fully covering the holes, and that your fingers stay flat. Another reason it might squeak is because you're blowing into it too hard. Keep practicing B until you are comfortable with it. A simple fingering chart is used to represent the notes on a recorder. The fingering chart consists of numbers 0 through 7, with 0 representing the left thumb, 1 representing the left index finger, 2 representing the second left finger, and so on.  For example, the B note you just played would be represented on the fingering chart as follows: 0 1 - -  - - - -  The numbers represent the holes that are being covered, while the dashes represent the holes that remain uncovered. In this instance, the 0 indicates that your thumb is covering the hole on the back of the recorder, while the 1 shows that your left index finger is covering the first hole. The first notes that you will learn to play using your left hand are B...

Article in English: Blow-drying can make your hair softer, shinier, and more manageable. Avoid blow-drying your hair every day, and do not blow your hair for more than a few minutes. Heat-based products like blow dryers and flat irons can substantially damage your hair, leading to dryness. Consider getting a professional blow-out at a salon. This may be best if you constantly flat-iron or blow-dry your hair, as it is a less damaging way to get your hair straight. Some of the blow-outs may cause damage to your hair, so make sure that you go to a well-reviewed professional to minimize damage. Ditch your brush with plastic bristles for one with natural bristles, such as a boar's hair brush. The natural bristles will distribute your hair's natural oils over your hair from roots to tips, ensuring that it stays soft and shiny. The plastic-bristle brush can actually strip your hair of its oils, making it greasy, stringy, and broken. The grease results from your hair trying to replace its natural oils.

Article in English: Blue cheese should be refrigerated to keep it fresh, so if you leave it out on your counter, it's going to spoil more quickly. In most cases, you'll notice that it's gone bad after just a few days. If you're accidentally left blue cheese out, it's best to throw it away if it's been two days or more. When blue cheese is kept in the refrigerator, it can last quite a while. Check the expiration date on your cheese -- in most cases, it will remain good for one to two weeks past the date. That typically means it will last in fridge for three to four weeks. To keep your blue cheese fresh as long as possible, make sure your refrigerator temperature isn't set above 40 degrees. If blue cheese is kept in the freezer at 0 degrees, it can last indefinitely, which means you can freeze excess cheese that you don't plan on using within the month to prevent it from spoiling. However, for best taste and texture, you shouldn't keep it frozen for more than half a year. Keep in mind that the taste and texture of blue cheese can change slightly when it's thawed. It loses some of its sharp flavor and usually crumbles more easily.

Article in English: Blue conveys a sense of peace and positivity, and is thought to promote creativity and independence. If you’re feeling centered and positive, spread it to the people around you by wearing this color. Alternatively, if you are feeling stressed or anxious, consider putting on something blue. This may help you feel more calm. Colors like yellow, green, purple, and orange are perfect for conveying an excited, inspired mood. These colors also attract attention, so they’re perfect to wear to parties or events. Remember that lighter, brighter colors may come across as young and immature. Try choosing simple, professional clothes in these colors if you're worried about being taken seriously. Red conveys assertiveness, courage, and passion, particularly in business settings. If you want to persuade or impress someone, red is a perfect choice. Wear it as a bold statement piece, such as a red jacket, shirt, or dress. Consider different shades of red. If a bright shade of red doesn't suit you, try a darker shade instead. If you’re feeling extra artsy and creative, wear different colors that match and compliment each other. Try combinations such as orange and turquoise or pink and green. To avoid an overwhelming combination, try color-blocking with pieces in solid colors. Pastel colors such as mint, pink, and lavender have a friendly and relaxing effect. Put together a breezy outfit by including clothing items in these light, summery colors. Wear these colors on weekends, vacation, or any other relaxing time.

Article in English: Blue jays mate from March to July and this must be taken into consideration when building or installing your nesting platform. You should anticipate when the mating pair needs the nesting platform so you can have it up and ready to go. Blue jays are monogamous and will normally stay together until one dies. It might also help if you offer a pile of sticks and twigs nearby to help them with building their nest. The efforts to build a nest can take hundreds of trips back and forth bringing in the needed materials. Providing them these items encourages them to remain in the area. For the most part, blue jays eat nuts and seeds, yes. But they have been known to harvest on eggs or even small frogs, baby birds, and invertebrates from time to time. You may catch a bird in the act of something you’d rather not see. It’s important to know this before you go about hoping for blue jays in your area. Because of this, many people are actually in the market to get rid of the blue jays in their yard, believing the blue jays are wreaking havoc on the other animals that are more peaceful. It's important to consider this side before you have a yard full of them. They tend to move around in groups, especially in the autumn, and their social behavior can be quite dynamic. They can be obnoxious, too, scaring away other birds and even imitating hawks to do so. They’re highly territorial – but if they’re outnumbered, they’ll back off. Because of their antics, some people don’t like them in the garden or backyard, but they are quite the sight to see! Blue jays are sort of a give and take. You may have to bequeath your yard unto them, but they will grace you with their beautiful colors. If you do decide to go this route, be ready for other birds and small animals to be more scarce. They know fighting a blue jay for territory isn't worth it. Blue jays are commonly referred to as bully birds, keeping other birds at bay. Sometimes they even eat their young. If you've got too many blue jays, consider constructing a "blue jays only"...

Article in English: Blue undertones fall under a cool color palette, while yellow tooth stains classify as warm colors. By placing blue undertones around your face, on on your lips in particular, you can offset any stains on your teeth and instantaneously make your teeth look whiter.  When choosing lipstick, go for a red lipstick with blue undertones. Think cherry red, wine, and berry shades. Avoid matte lipsticks and go for glossy products. Matte lipsticks can actually make your teeth look dingy by making your mouth look dry, but glosses and glossy lipsticks make your lips look moist, which also promotes the illusion of shiny teeth. Be aware that the accessories you wear by your face can also make a difference. Opt for silver-toned jewelry over gold, and look for cool-toned gems and beads instead of warm-toned ones. . Bronzer makes your face look darker, thereby accentuating the contrast between your skin tone and your teeth. As a result, your teeth will appear whiter than they might when your face is bare or dusted in blush.  For bronzer, a matte finish is the way to go. Matte bronzer makes your skin appear healthy and firm without giving it an oily look. Moreover, matte bronzer creates a contrast with glossy lips, accentuating your sparkling teeth. Apply the bronzer in the shape of the number "3." Brush it over your temples, the hollow of your cheeks, and over your chin. Shiny jewelry, especially silver-colored, accentuates the white shades in your teeth while covering up the yellow ones. This can mask any stains or imperfections in your teeth.  Focus on placing these accessories around your face, like with earrings and necklaces. Avoid gold-colored jewelry, however — this will accentuate yellow sections of your teeth. Wearing white will accentuate the darker sections of your teeth. Instead, wear a darker or cream-colored shirt. This will accentuate the white sections of your teeth and help cover up any imperfections.

Article in English: Bluefins live in the Atlantic Ocean and spawn either in the Gulf of Mexico or in the Mediterranean Sea. Every spring, they migrate to the places where they were born.  As they travel back and forth between spawning grounds, they can be caught off of the North American coast, particularly in the Virginia/North Carolina area and off of Massachusetts, New Hampshire and southern Maine. They also congregate in the Eastern Atlantic. Bluefins used to populate the Black Sea, although their population has dropped significantly here. You'll learn about the procedure and about the equipment that you'll need, and you'll learn whether or not the sport is for you. Look online to find charter cruises in your area, particularly around Cape Cod and Cape Hatteras.  Ask the captain whether you get to keep your catch (or if there is a weight limit) or if the fishing is catch and release. Your catch, if you get to keep it, may not be something you can legally sell. Have a plan for what you're going to do with all of this fish--sushi, anyone? Fishing regulations can be very confusing. Call 1-888-USA-TUNA for permits and to explore questions that you may have. Also, know your catch quota. Check with the NFMS for annual daily catch limits. Kite fishing allows an angler to keep a live bait swimming on the surface.  The kite physically lifts the bait, and prevents the bait from swimming downward.  The result is a live bait, virtually half out of the water, swimming and thrashing frantically on the surface-basically ringing the dinner bell for any tuna in the vicinity.

Article in English: Bluetooth can be a drain on your battery, so start with a full charge. If your phone was released after 2007, it is most likely Bluetooth-enabled. If you’re able to see a “Bluetooth” menu on any of the following operating systems, you’ll be all set.   If you’re using an iPhone, tap the Settings icon and look for a menu item called Bluetooth. If you see it there, your device is Bluetooth-capable. If it says “off” next to Bluetooth, tap it to turn it on.  Android users can tap the Settings icon in the app menu and look for Bluetooth there. If the word Bluetooth is the menu, your phone is Bluetooth-capable. Open the Bluetooth menu with a tap and flip the switch to the “on” position.  Users with Windows Phones will open the app list and select Settings to find the Bluetooth menu. If you see a Bluetooth menu, your phone is Bluetooth-capable. Open the menu to switch Bluetooth on.   If you’re using a Bluetooth-capable phone that isn’t a smartphone, navigate to your device’s settings menu to find the Bluetooth menu. Turn on Bluetooth in that menu. Once you’ve enabled Bluetooth on your phone, it should automatically begin a search for Bluetooth devices with which to connect. When the search has completed, a list of devices you can connect to will appear on the screen.  Regular feature phones (non-smartphones) and older Android models may require you to scan for devices manually. If the Bluetooth menu contains an item that says “Scan for devices” or something similar, tap it to scan. If you don’t see any devices despite having turned on Bluetooth, your headset may not be in pairing mode. Restart your headset and re-enable pairing mode. Double-check your Bluetooth headset manual to make sure your particular headset doesn’t have a special process for pairing. In the list of connectable Bluetooth devices, tap on the name of your headset. This may be the name of the headset manufacturer (i.e., Jabra, Plantronics) or may simply say something like “Headset.” When the phone "finds" the headset, it may ask for a PIN code....

Article in English: Blushing is the involuntary rushing of blood to the face, usually brought on by social anxiety. Blushing causes redness and sometimes perspiration. Blushing is made worse by the fact that the face has more capillary loops and more blood vessels than other skin areas, making blushing in the face particularly visible.  Understand that blushing can be caused for no "social" reason at all. Most people blush when they feel uncomfortable in a social situation. Other people blush for no apparent social reason at all. This kind of unprovoked blushing is called idiopathic craniofacial erythema. Understand that some people have a legitimate phobia of blushing, called erythrophobia. People suffering from erythrophobia may wish to seek out counseling as they try to overcome their fear. Find out when you blush. Is it when you're angry, or when you're nervous? Is it when you look at or think of a certain someone? Is it when you're put in the spotlight? Don't necessarily try to avoid whatever makes you blush, but try to condition your body to believe that there is no reason to blush when it comes along. This is the first step in beating the blushing. Make a list of all the recent times you remember blushing, especially if you blushed social situations. Write the outcome of the social situation. Were you made fun of? Did people notice? In most cases, decent people don't think that blushing is a problem and don't point it out. And why should they? It's not something that you can control. Start understanding that blushing isn't always as important as you think it might be. Whatever you do, don't feel responsible for blushing. It is involuntary. Train your mind to understand that your conscious thoughts have nothing to do with this autonomic bodily response. You are not to blame, and you are not guilty of anything. If you let go of feeling responsible for blushing, there's a good chance you'll find yourself blushing less often. Not only is your blushing much less noticeable than you probably think, but it's also helpful to...

Article in English: Boars are male guinea pigs. If a female guinea pig has been in the presence of a boar, then she will have almost certainly tried to mate and has a high chance of becoming pregnant. Male guinea pigs can impregnate a female at as young as 3 weeks old and a female guinea pig can become pregnant at as young as 4 weeks old, so don't be doubtful if your guinea pig is pregnant due to age. A pregnant sow will begin to drink and eat more as the pregnancy advances. She may eat up to triple the amount she usually consumes. She may also drink more water than normal. Keep in mind that "normal" is relative to your guinea pig's usual habits. However, do not assume that your guinea pig is pregnant based on just how much she is eating or drinking. All animals, for example, tend to eat more when it's cold, when they're having a growth spurt, and when they're suffering from certain illnesses. A female guinea pig's weight will increase significantly if she's pregnant. Guinea pigs typically weigh about 1.5-2 lbs. In general, by the end of a pregnancy, the pregnant guinea pig's weight will have doubled; the piglets usually make up more than half of the sow's weight.  A good idea is to weigh your female guinea pig regularly (perhaps weekly) and to record the weight. This way you can keep track of her weight in order to determine any patterns of weight gain that may be indicative of a pregnancy. However, if your sow is not yet mature and is less than 6-8 months of age, she will still be growing and thus weight gain may not be indicative of pregnancy. If you feel your guinea pig's womb very carefully, you may be able to detect the fetuses if she is pregnant. Usually, you can identify the fetuses in her womb from around 2 weeks after mating. Treat the sow with care and never handle her roughly. When feeling your guinea pig's abdomen, never apply pressure or squeeze the area since this could harm both the piglets and the sow.  To feel for fetuses, place the sow on a towel on a firm surface. This will keep your guinea pig from slipping....

Article in English: Bob Dylan claims to have written "Blowin' in the Wind," a song that stands in for an entire decade and cultural moment in most historical documentaries, in five minutes. Even if he did nothing else for the rest of his life but eat lunches, drink wine, and watch monster movies, that would have been a productive day. As the French say, "Travailler moins, produire plus." Translation: the less you work, the more you make.  While it might sound strange, making yourself be super-productive for short periods of time will leave you with more time to be idle. Steal time by packing super-attentive hard work into half the day, then kick back and stay on the clock for the rest of the time. Learn to focus on one thing only. Don't try to spread your talents and efforts all over the place at once. Put all of yourself into one thing and finish it as best as you can, then put it away entirely and forget about it. You'll be more productive with the time you have. Any good idler knows that the best person for the job is probably someone else. When the teacher asks for volunteers, look at your desk. When the project manager needs an enterprising young talent to spearhead the new project, keep your hands in your pocket. There's no point in letting artificial ideas about ambition and "success" get in the way of your valuable leisure time. If idleness is important to you, keep your ego in check and let other people grab the gold ring. The difference between idleness and laziness is that an idle person can take care of themselves, and a lazy person requires the assistance of others. To be truly idle, you need to be in control of your own life, able to do things, but choosing not to. In other words, if you're 32 and living in your dad's basement watching cartoons and eating cereal for three meals a day, you can't chalk that up to idleness. That's just being lazy. Provide for yourself, commit to your own happiness, and stop being a burden on others. . Meditation can do a lot to calm your stresses, center your self, and refocus your...

Article in English: Bodies create heat as they metabolize food, so you should use this to your advantage. Eat high fat foods like nuts, bugs, and small animals just before you go to sleep so that your body creates warmth at night when it’s coldest out. When you go to sleep in your shelter for the night, cover yourself with a few layers of dirt, debris, and leaves that you’ve collected during the day. This can serve as insulation against the cold night air. Don’t make yourself so warm that you sweat. Sweat will cool your body down and make your bedding damp, which will interfere with its ability to insulate you from the cold. This is particularly important in tropical climates where rain occurs frequently. If it’s raining, you should stay in your shelter. If you get wet, try to dry yourself and your clothes as thoroughly as possible. Staying wet can potentially cause illnesses and fungal infections.

Article in English: Body builders looking to bulk up quickly might choose egg powder unless they have egg white allergies. Eggs have a biological value (BV) of 0.93, which means that they are essentially the perfect protein. Eggs contain all of the essential amino acids needed to help you maintain your muscle mass and are the most complete set of amino acids other than human milk. It can also help your muscles to recover after an intense workout.  In addition to helping you maintain your muscle mass, egg protein powder can help to make you feel full, which makes it an ideal protein powder if you are trying to lose weight. Egg proteins are free of lactose and hence suitable for lactose intolerant people. Egg proteins are the most bioavailable since they are bound to essential fats in the form of lipo-proteins. Milk protein powder can help you to lower your body mass and is thought to be able to help you lower your blood pressure. It can help your muscles to recover after a hard workout, and helps your body to synthesize new muscle protein.  Milk protein is generally consumed after a workout, as it helps your muscles to recover and retain their mass. Do not use milk protein if you are allergic to lactose as it will have the same effect as drinking milk. Whey is the watery substance that is made when milk is made into cheese. Whey protein synthesizes new muscle protein more effectively than regular milk protein powders, which makes it the ideal protein powder if you are looking to bulk up with resistance training. The body can absorb whey protein quickly. However, this protein may cause you some gastrointestinal distress if you are lactose intolerant.  There are three different levels of whey protein: whey protein, whey protein isolate, and advance whey protein isolate. these levels are based on the filtering process each powder has gone through. The more a powder is filtered, the easier it will be for you to take if you are lactose intolerant. This means that if you are lactose intolerant, you would have the least gastrointestinal...

Article in English: Body language can convey a great deal about your attitude, and it can easily reveal sincerity (or a lack thereof). When you interact with others, try to be mindful of your posture, mannerisms, and behavior.  Make steady eye contact, but don't stare. Look away every now and then, and don't forget to blink. Maintain a relaxed posture, but keep your body slightly poised. You can do this by very slightly leaning toward the person you're talking to, or reaching out/gesturing towards that person. Don't try to change your body language to reflect sincerity. If you're sincere, your body language will naturally show it. One easy way to show sincerity to others is by being an active listener. As someone speaks to you, keep an open mind about what that person is saying. Practicing active listening skills show others that you are taking a sincere interest in what they have to say, and that you genuinely want to know more about the thoughts and feelings of others.  Face the person you're talking to. When you have a genuine reaction to what someone else is saying, your facial cues will give that reaction away. Your eyebrows will raise, your eyes may widen, and your mouth will reveal your emotional reaction. Facing someone will let them see your reactions, and it will convey to them that you are engaged and interested. Ask open-ended questions to allow the other person to elaborate. For example, don't just ask, "Did you like living there?" This type of question will elicit a yes or no response. Instead, you can ask something like, "Wow, I've never been there before. What was it like for you? What are some memories you have of living there?" This shows your engagement and your curiosity. Reflect on what has been said by the other person before giving your own response. Your conversational partner may be thinking of how to phrase something, or simply leaving a pause in the conversation for dramatic effect. If you rush to say whatever is on your mind, it will not convey a sincere conversational interest in that person's...
